"Your Majesty!"
Liaohe Bay Port.
Bai Xing welcomed Zhang Qi as he disembarked from the half-iron sailboat named Initiation.
"Have you had a lot of fun these days?"
Zhang Qi teased and joked.
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Bai Xing's skin has become slightly tanned.
But it can be seen that Bai Xing has lived quite comfortably in the past ten days, and he can't even hide the smile on his face.
With a red face, Bai Xing laughed a few times in shame: "I made your Majesty laugh."
"It doesn't matter. You've been with me for a few years. It's rare to give you a holiday. Just have fun and enjoy yourself. Then you'll be busy again."
Zhang Qi nodded and said.
Bai Xing also instantly entered a working state and regained his previous coolness.
"Let's go, get on the boat, it's time to go back to the Captain's Mansion."
"promise!"
After picking up the White Star, the Initiation set off again, heading west along the coast of Liaodi, entering from the Liaoxi River, docking at the Liaoxi Port, changing to a small boat and returning to the Duwei Mansion.
On the road.
Bai Xing also reported the output of the gray whale to Zhang Qi.
Generally speaking, it was as expected as Zhang Qi expected.
After removing the bones and internal organs, this gray whale produced more than ten tons of oil and meat.
The whale blood and bones were dragged to compost ponds and used to produce fertilizer.
One whale is equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of pigs.
Hunting is profitable and profitable.
On the ship, Zhang Qi had already asked Bai Xing to write a document, ordering the Department of Marine Products to start a long voyage to hunt whales to earn money for planned hunting of whales in the Bohai Sea, Sea of Japan, and Sea of Korea.
Earn enough to use up your hunting quota before winter this year.
"Isn't the quota of 100 dogs of the same species too small?"
When getting off the boat, Zhang Qi frowned and said to Bai Xing.
However, before Bai Xing could speak, he continued to talk to himself: "Let's take a look first. Gray whales, blue whales, humpback whales, and baleen whales seem to be distributed in these waters. If it doesn't work, just sail farther. Bai Xing There are quite a few blue whales on that side of the strait."
After getting off the boat and changing to a carriage, Zhang Qi and others returned to the Captain's Mansion.
The sergeants of the Liaodong Army are training as usual. They are already true professional soldiers, fully serving the war and no longer engaged in any production.
Of course, occasionally Zhang Qi will organize some assistance actions, especially when suffering from mudslides or floods.
It is impossible to have a direct military-civilian relationship, but it can be cultivated.
"See you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"."
On the way back to the Captain's Mansion, teams of coaches passed by Zhang Qi's carriage. They saluted and greeted, and Zhang Qi nodded in response.
Sitting back on the seat he hadn't sat in for more than ten days, Zhang Qi felt comfortable in it.
Several maids worked together to bring an ice cube filled with ice.
One person shakes the fan and the other makes tea.
Zhang Qi half-squinted his eyes and gradually fell into sleep.
Ten days of visits had exhausted him.
The ship was not suitable for sleeping, so it was only now that he had some time to rest.
It was already evening when I woke up.
Bai Xing was writing at the desk beside him.
The candles in the room were already lit.
beeswax.
Zhang Qihua spent a lot of money to purchase goods all over western Liaoning, giving local people an opportunity to increase their income.
In addition, it is also to let the people in western Liaoning know that the honeycomb is a good thing.
To pave the way for promoting beekeeping economic construction in western Liaoning.
Changchun is too far north in Liaoning. Although it is in the warm period and the temperature after May is pleasant, the flowering period is still too short.
Therefore, this relatively comfortable place in western Liaoning became Zhang Qi's testing ground for beekeeping.
Needless to say, the advantages of artificial beekeeping are much greater than searching for beehives in the wild.
The only hard part is that you have to keep moving with your beehives, just like a herdsman grazing.
However, in this era, if there is such a job, countless people will fight to earn it. Without it, they can survive.
Zhang Qi brought a lot of beeswax, so it was not a problem to count four to five thousand beehives.
"Haa~"
"What time is it?"
Zhang Qi stretched himself out.
Bai Xing looked sideways at the water clock in front of the screen, calculated the calculations and said, "Youshizhong."
"Oh, it's six o'clock. I slept well this time. Well, I slept comfortably."
Zhang Qi stood up from the soft chair, took out an apricot from the ice cube on the side and took a bite.
The sour taste is very refreshing.
"Let the magistrate of Jiaoli County come to see me tomorrow."
Zhang Qi spoke while eating apricots.
Bai Xing nodded and wrote down the matter.
Now Zhang Qi is a lieutenant conferred by Liu Che, and he has a seat in Liao. This is a frontier fortress, not the hinterland of the Han Dynasty. With this position, he can do much more than what he can do in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, in Liao land, Zhang Qi is the local emperor!
"Where is the book I read last time?"
After wiping his hands, Zhang Qi asked Bai Xing. The latter put down the pen in his hand and stood up, went to the bookshelf, and found a scroll of bamboo slips for Zhang Qi.
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Qi took it and said yes, then opened the bamboo slip.
The books collected by the web spies over the past few years have basically been copied into paper books, and now the originals of the bamboo slips are with Zhang Qi.
What he was looking at now was the tomb of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, which the spies had worked hard to find. The book was a burial object for Zhang Liang, a Marquis of Liu, and it was also a transcript.
After a lot of effort, scholars from the world of riding and slashing were able to extract the words on these decayed bamboo slips one by one.
In the end, the book was only twenty-six volumes, but the books copied from these twenty-six volumes of bamboo slips made Zhang Qi feel like he had found a treasure.
Because he called: "Six Tao."
Now Zhang Qi has finished reading Wen Tao and Wu Tao, and is now reading Long Tao's Treatise on Generals, which talks about the method Taigong proposed for King Wu to select generals, based on the conduct, style, and personality of the person who selected the generals as the selection criteria. .
Understand the key points and understand what a general is.
The frogs began to chirp outside the window.
It was also accompanied by the sound of gurgling water falling into the water.
Miaomiao smoke drifted in.
Bai Xing at the table next to him has opened an incense burner and lit a coil of incense mixed with mugwort powder and charcoal powder.
Spices are added to the incense, which makes it smell elegant and comfortable.
But to put it bluntly, Shirahoshi lit the mosquito coils.
——
The next day.
The Prime Minister of Jiaoli County arrived at the Duwei Mansion early in the morning.
"The Prime Minister of Jiaoli County has met the Marquis of Liao."
"Well, let's get up. Can we have breakfast?"
Zhang Qi stood in front of a white flower, watering the flower.
Nono, the Prime Minister of Jiaoli County, said in a low voice: "Not yet."
"Oh, that's just in time. Let's go for a walk with me, Bai Xing. Let someone prepare some food and drink."
"promise."
Bai Xing turned around and left, but Monk Cheng Zhang Er of Jiaoli County was confused and had no choice but to follow Zhang Qi and wander around the Duwei Mansion.
Now he doesn't even know why Zhang Qi called him here.
Walking around at will.
Zhang Qi did not talk about official matters, but instead asked about his parents' personal affairs.
After chatting for several quarters of an hour, until Zhang Qi had a general understanding of the situation at Cheng Li's home in Li County, Bai Xing came over to report that it was time to eat.
"Haha, look at me, I was so excited about chatting that I forgot that the county magistrate hasn't had breakfast yet. Let's go and eat and chat."
"Yes, Marquis Liao."
In one morning, Zhang Qi got to know the Prime Minister of Jiaoli County thoroughly. Of course, this does not rule out that the Prime Minister of Jiaoli County is a very powerful person in the city and gave Zhang Qi the wrong feeling.
But no matter what, Zhang Qi had some understanding of him.
While the Jiaoli County Magistrate was still confused, Bai Xing sent him away from the Duwei Mansion and arranged for guards to escort him back to Jiaoli.
"Go and send thousands of white dragons to his home. He is a smart man. If he accepts it, he will continue to be in charge of affairs in the future and let him start beekeeping. If he doesn't accept it, you know what to do."
Coming up, Zhang Qi gave instructions to Bai Xing who came back.
