For those who had been in the 24th year of Zhenguan, there were already quite a lot of boats on the Yangtze River, and the waterways were extremely busy. They were so busy that the court had to dispatch special boats to maintain the order of the waterways. This was a change of heaven and earth for those who were in the alternating era of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

But in Zhang De's eyes, this busy scene has experienced many "desolation" and "lostness".

Thousands of broken ships come and go, and this number, in the era of the first industrial power, was just the scale of a river city or a county-level city...

"Zong-chan, the sword fish is ready."

"good."

Steamed knife fish will never get tired of eating it for several lifetimes. Compared with shad fish, Lao Zhang still likes sword fish, although shad fish is more expensive.

The efforts and gains from the east trip this time were extremely great, and they even made a point of making a fuss about Old Man Lu who had just passed away. The connection between the cities of Yangtze River became closer and closer, and it was quite a bit like "southeast mutual protection".

Wuhan officially exported systems and technologies through official channels for the first time. Although it is not fully accepted, it is a great progress to be able to influence them.

No matter what, he moved a little bit more in the direction of Xiaobawang learning machine.

The return fleet was still full of cargo, and in addition to silk, there were also a large number of lacquerware, tinware, furniture, handicrafts, meat products, as well as slaves and food.

Among them, the Japanese girl has the highest value because she is not a Japanese man, but a familiar Japanese man.

These "familiar Japanese" are all experienced and skilled workers in factories. The current market is 150 stakes, but in fact, the output of a "familiar Japanese" in a year is more than 150 stakes.

It is a very good financial product. With the guaranteed capital, it will be net profit in the future.

The most important thing is that "familiar Japanese" will not cause trouble. They are very clear that they are valuable only when they are used. In addition, because the dynasty system does not allow slavery, it is expected that they will be out of the country and the dynasty will not allow slavery.

Although most Japanese girls actually find it difficult to survive until that time, there are often factory owners who find conscience and find themselves free.

As for the matter after freedom is given, the factory owner will not care about it.

It is possible to be stuffed back to Shanghai town and board the boat to his hometown; it is also possible to be banned from living in a certain area and do some ordinary labor. After all, it is not so easy to get a Tang Dynasty household registration.

Only when you are lucky can you meet a man who is willing to take off their pants. Your life changes drastically and your identities are greatly changed. You have transformed from a slave black household to a Tang people. Of course, they may be showing their status as concubines and maids. Whether they are "bad" depends on the partner.

But in general, a conscientious factory owner and a willingness to give them freedom are often the most conscientious in their eyes.

They are very willing to do slave labor and are very willing to be driven. Because once the factory owner gives them freedom, it is equivalent to letting them die and go to hell.

As for the conscience value of the factory owner, it is probably because the input-output of the Japanese women is disproportionate... that is, some Japanese women may reach the point where they are "old and weak and cannot work."

The business class who is not suppressed has no moral integrity...

"The envoy, the mileage of railway construction in Suzhou counties is quite high. The following views include as little as five years or as much as ten years. The total number of permanent population will definitely surpass Wuhan."

The staff who accompanied Zhang De to eat fish had a deep impression of Suzhou, and the innate conditions were too good. The advantages of water and land transportation in all aspects and good management traditions. With the strengthening of water conservancy facilities, the amount of arable land is increasing every year, and the developed marine trade does not have to worry about the lack of labor.

Now, talent training has been improved and central leaders have also controlled policies. The total number of permanent population will experience explosive growth starting this year.

Compared with Suzhou, the innate conditions are really insufficient. In terms of arable land area alone, the Jianghan Plain is probably a fraction of the Taihu Plain.

According to the existing productivity, the land output will be slightly improved, and there will be no problem with the arable land in the Taihu Plain feeding the population of the entire Tang Empire.

What restricts all this is still the total labor force.

With the improvement of medical level and the death rate greatly reduced, there are policies to encourage childbirth, so the increase rate of the total population is quite considerable.

As for absorbing employed people or labor from surrounding areas, it may have been very difficult, but because of the disintegration of the Lu family and the presence of Changsun Wuji, all this is not a problem.

After all, Changsun Wuji easily brought the absence of officials from eight counties. For the aristocratic tribes in Jiangdong, the eldest son of the Zhongshu Ling had infinite merits and immeasurable merits.

Grain output must also be transported to the market. If the excess grain cannot be sold, it will be a net loss for growers. In Suzhou counties, railways and new official roads have been generally started to build railways and new official roads, and the people have a passion for donating money to build roads. No matter what the motivation is, it is not a problem to build them.

Even if these railways are still just animal transportation, the transportation capacity is enough to make up for the shortage of labor.

Furthermore, most of the newly reclaimed land in Suzhou are new-style manors.

There are very few real farmers, and the owners of the manor are not one family. They are often a few partners who gather together, so their risk resistance is naturally different.

No matter how extensive management is, it is just a state of Suzhou. Before the lack of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the total grain output can be increased to 1.5 million tons by strengthening water conservancy facilities.

With such an internal foundation, even if it is just "internal exploitation", this place can quickly increase industry and trade.

This is why Changsun Wuji doesn't think that the Lu family is "falling down", because even if the negative assets that Lu family has dumped, those Lu family who are living a life of scattered and waiting to die will definitely not starve to death in such a place. After three generations, perhaps the small branch can still show it to others by a "poor family".

Wuhan officials who were originally above the top were certainly proud of their travels with Zhang De this time, but because of their broad vision, they could naturally see places that others could not see.

The great potential of Yangtze Riverkou really shocked officials from all over Wuhan.

At the same time, as Zhang De's lackeys, they were a little confused. Although the boss chose a "remote countryside" to cause trouble, even though the family and business of Yangtze River were very big, they were very rich.

The sense of crisis makes them nervous, but for Lao Zhang, if there are prefectures and counties that catch up or even surpass Wuhan, he will even secretly feel happy. As for whether the prefectures and counties are Suzhou, Yangzhou, or Hangzhou and Guangzhou, it is actually not important.

"If you surpass it, you will surpass it. Could it be...you want me to suppress Suzhou?"

Zhang De smiled, "Yangzi Jiangkou, there is no Suzhou and Changzhou, no Changzhou and Runzhou, no Runzhou and Yangzhou... As for Hangzhou, Yuezhou and Huzhou, which one is worse?"

“…”

"What the envoy said is very good."

The staff and officers blushed and immediately realized that they subconsciously wanted to suppress them. But they forgot how Mianzhou and Ezhou survived.

Furthermore, they are not idiots. Wuhan only needs to make the cake bigger and can survive and even stand firm from the sharp teeth and claws of the powerful and powerful in the country.

The more this happens, the more people are needed to make cakes, instead of picking up the guy and beating the old man who wants to make cakes to death on the spot.

"The world is the most important, and it is no problem to support ten or hundreds of Wuhans. One Suzhou that has not yet emerged will make you so anxious. You may not be anxious in the future."

"Go down and get taught..."

The accomplices and staff saluted repeatedly.d
