Unlike Zhang De who likes to eat cold celery, Lu Feibai is very good at stir-frying, especially using bacon to stir-fry celery. This way of eating is the favorite of Senior Brother Xiaobai.

"Crystal Palace" has made several stir-fried dishes. In addition to bacon and celery, there are also snails with leeks and garlic leaves, and sammy clams with braised anchovies after frying. Add the usual "Taihu Sanbai", and the peeled eggs are mixed with vinegar celery, which is considered to be a living thing.

While drinking, Lu Feibai tasted the wine and said with satisfaction: "That 'baiguo' is really not suitable for my tongue, and this wine is the most delicious."

“It’s just that it’s not easy to preserve.”

"This year, Suzhou also grows grapes widely. Kunshan County has many grapes and kiwis. Now, in Wu County, it is more precious, with fine skin and tender flesh, and even seasonal fruits are sought after."

In the past, most of the people who sold fruits were powerful people in the capital, so they could only eat fruits with their belly open.

It’s very different now. In Suzhou City, the young citizens are willing to pay for sugarcane to chew. Although a bunch of grapes is expensive, it is not too expensive. It is an acceptable level of occasional "luxury" for a handful.

"Suzhou is already rich, and now it has opened Shanghai Town again. It is a good idea to sell fruits from Kunshan people.

Kunshan in the Zhenguan Dynasty and Kunshan before Lao Zhang illegally crossed the country. Kunshan before illegal crossing was in the north of Songjiang, and Kunshan in the Zhenguan Dynasty was in the south of Songjiang. After spending a lot of money to repair Songjiang, the scope of Kunshan County expanded was roughly in the Qingpu area before illegal crossing.

Although there are many depressions here and frequent flooding occurs during the rainy season, there are abundant fish and shrimps and high yields of fruits and vegetables, which has caught up with the great development of Yangtze River Estuary.

After continuously expanding Guantang, Suzhou spent a lot of money to dredge the low-lying swamp west of Kunshan. The method of surrounding the embankment and building fields is also useful here.

According to estimates, it is no problem to transform the entire depression into a lake group. In this way, fish can be raised and the surrounding water network can be used as a adjustment station, which can play multiple roles in drainage, drought resistance and irrigation.

Once this major project is completed, it is conservatively estimated that at least 200,000 mu of rice fields can be added.

But this project is too big, and relying on Suzhou alone is far from enough. Even if you have money, it really lacks enough labor. This requires hiring from other places or recruiting civilians.

But it is not easy for local civilians in Suzhou to recruit, because a large amount of labor has been broken into workshops in cities or urban-rural fringe areas.

It is not impossible for the government to force the levy, but the cost is extremely high. If the strong men in every village, town and alley want to notify them, they have extremely high requirements for the quality of the officers and the number of assistants at the bottom.

For Suzhou officials, it is better to spend money to buy slave labor directly.

Unfortunately, slave labor is not easy to buy now. In the "Fusangdi", people in the "Fusangdi" have made their own brains and will not be able to decide the outcome for a while. So don't think of a large-scale slave trade.

The best and most stable method at the moment is that someone can coordinate the operation from top to bottom and second to residents from other prefectures and counties. For example, Changzhou, Huzhou and Hangzhou, which are close to Suzhou, have a large population and are geographically close, which is theoretically fine.

However, this theory is just a theory of local human feelings. For bureaucrats, these are two different things.

Why do we Hangzhou people work for you in Suzhou?

Everyone is the governor. Are you working in Suzhou stronger than my Changzhou?

The rows of sitting in the officialdom are quite sensitive, but the people don’t care. They are all fellow villagers anyway. Suzhou and Hangzhou’s relatives help each other, which is a story that has always been around.

But most of the bureaucrats are not native to the country, and this kind of emotion that grows here is very weak.

So, this matter was a stalemate.

Finally, he returned to another issue. Is the position of the Governor of Jiangdong, the eldest son of the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Central Committee? Is there any trouble?

Changsun Wuji won a lot of favor because he was in Huqiu Mountain. He was an outsider and wanted to be the governor of Jiangdong. He seriously made Jiangdong together. For local tyrants, it was a good thing and an opportunity.

But things are not that simple, Changsun Wuji has an amazing appetite.

He wants to eat good food, and naturally he doesn't like those "scrap" areas.

This caused He Lanqing to rise and fall.

The connection between things is so subtle. Who would have thought that the Suzhou people digging rivers and surrounding lakes could be linked to He Lanqing's preparation to take the imperial political stage?

On the other hand, if the two families in "Fusondi" stop fighting, the slave trade can be carried out in a big way. Suzhou may be able to consume enough labor within one year, and this project may be able to be carried out in sloppy.

Once the project is completed, the old men in Suzhou may not be very concerned about the combination of Jiangdong Province. Even if they do not object, it is not impossible to delay for three or five years.

So when I arrived at Wangting, Senior Brother Xiaobai was also quite confused.

Some ask him to be a lobbyist and succeed, and some ask him to make things bad.

In short, all kinds of forces and various demands threw the junk at him. He was not so easy to refuse. They were all old relationships between Old Man Lu during his lifetime. The word "country party" is of great importance.

"If you don't talk about this fruit, what do you think about Changsun Wuji's attempt to plot against Jiangdong?"

"Do you want to ask me if I support it or not?"

"Yes, someone asked me to find out the truth, and I won't hide this from you."

"I don't mind Changsun Wuji's desire to enjoy his happiness in this wealthy land of Jiangdong. I also support Jiangdong's ability to follow Jiangxi to achieve success. Nowadays, the roads of cars and horses are well developed, and there are various roads under construction every year. In the past, one state and one county were managed, so I was much more at ease. It is the desire of people to raise the level up and coordinate the contacts."

What does this person's heart have nothing to do with the local tyrants, nor are they from local aristocratic families. Only those rich families who have extended their tentacles and have greatly expanded their economic activities will hope to be integrated.

"Since Caozhi supports it, wouldn't the battle in Fusang land be dragged on? Shicheng and Xuzhou are fighting fiercely now. More than a dozen local kings in the Japanese land have gone in. There are many local kings who have nothing. Except for the whole family, all the people under the rule have been wiped out, and they have become lonely."

It doesn’t mean that you will die. Although Shicheng Steel Plant and Xuzhou Steel Plant are fighting fiercely, the scene is particularly big, but not many people die.

When both sides were running, they were shooting arrows like raining between each other. When the archers on both sides could no longer shoot, they slowly grindled.

Your cavalry attacked my servants, and I would let the soldiers defeat all your miscellaneous soldiers. The two armies called out, and they would shout in front of the formation: "Brothers opposite, how much does the Liaozhou people pay? I will pay double the Xuzhou people!"

A serious life-and-death battle is rare. At most, a small-scale conflict is angered, that is, the masters on both sides are dying, and this is how they look like.

However, Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant and Xuzhou Iron and Steel Plant were fighting, and there must be only a few elite soldiers on both sides. The servants, miscellaneous soldiers and mercenaries on both sides were packed and taken away in a bunch of crotch.

This is why there were more than a dozen local kings in the Japanese land, and several of them became barely bare. Apart from their family, there was a lot of gold, silver and wealth, and basically nothing was left.

"Since you don't want to fight, then let's talk. Can you talk to me and make a name for yourself?"

Old Zhang shook his head and smiled, "If it were me, wouldn't it be great if the two companies formed a company together? Each of them invested in the equity and divided the accounts at the end of the year. Isn't that said, right? A strong alliance can do all those who want to steal. Isn't that great?"

"That's right, this doesn't hurt the harmony."
