Two days later, Hai Rui said goodbye to Zhao Hao and took his son north to Beijing by land.

Originally, when Qiongzhou Prefecture was mentioned, it was the end of the world and the place of exile. However, it was part of the Guangdong Provincial Administration Commission. The Nanhai Group also established Sanya City here, which was the northern base of the group's control of the Indochina Peninsula. Therefore, Jiangnan Education Group established nine-year schools in the Fucheng Qiongshan and Sanya. However, because it was established a little late, Haizhongping had just graduated from high school and had not yet decided whether to apply for academy to study or join the group in the future.

Hai Rui told him not to rush to make a decision, and to take a look and think about it before making a choice.

Although it is fast to walk on the sea, there is no way to see any customs and customs. Hai Rui wants to take advantage of his ability to move and take his son to see what the real suffering of the people is.

Hai Gong was a great man who walked from Qiongzhou to Beijing to take the exam. Now there are inns along the way and you can ride a horse. Isn’t this journey too easy?

But he regretted it soon...

Because he had to show the investigation and cooperation issued by the Ministry of War in the inn, his identity was naturally exposed.

Although he told the postmaster to keep it secret for him, every time he got up, he was surrounded by the people who rushed over after hearing the news.

Hai Rui asked them what was wrong?

They said it was okay, they just wanted to see Hai Qingtian with their own eyes and wish him a hundred years of life. They kowtowed him and worshiped him in their early years...

After kowtowing, the people returned happily.

The next wave followed in again, one after another, and the people of the whole county lined up to see their sea and blue sky.

Someone else shouted outside: "You must stay at Haigong for a while. I will go back to the village to bring my father to kowtow to Haigong!"

The postmasters naturally apologized deeply, and their words were almost the same because they were too excited, so they only told their wives or mother. Then the women were quick-talking and spread to each other, and "The Hai Gong is here" became a well-known secret.

This is true in every county in Jiangnan, without exception. Many ordinary people stopped doing work and did business, so they followed Hai Rui on the road and sent him to the edge of the Yangtze River.

Knowing that Hai Gong was as honest as water and did not accept gifts, they brought the best food with them. I hope that Hai Rui and his son would eat a sip of their filial piety when they were thirsty and hungry. They were satisfied.

As a result, a scene of eternal wonder appeared. Hai Rui and his son rode horses in front, followed by a team of two miles long, and people continued to join.

"Why don't they go back to their homes in the snow and ice, and they have to send their father across the river?" Hai Zhongping finally couldn't help asking.

"Because for my father, I have done something insignificant for them." Hai Rui said lightly: "I didn't expect that they have not forgotten it for more than ten years."

The people will never forget the actions he did when Governor Yingtian eliminated violence and defended the good and made decisions for the people.

The people in Jiangnan even put him and Bao Qingtian together and put him on the door and became a door god. They can not only drive away evil spirits, but also see idols at all times, which can kill two birds with one stone.

It is also the earliest idol portrait. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I need an autograph...

While shocked by the sea, I suddenly felt that I should go to the academy to study and become an official like my father.

After crossing the river, Hai Rui became smarter. He never stayed in a free inn and stayed in an inn with his son, so he avoided the crazy star-chasing people.

As for the safety of the father and the other, Hai Rui was not worried at all. He knew that with Zhao Hao's concern, he would send a security department to secretly protect him, so he just walked around and didn't have to worry about encountering a disaster.

In fact, the public security in Jiangbei is also excellent.

Because Yangzhou Prefecture, as one of the ten Jiangnan prefectures that were originally integrated, has been clearly governed by the Jiangnan Group. There is no need for the government to take action, and the farm guards in various places will make the thieves disappear without a trace.

During the Jiajing period, in order to control the Japanese, the imperial court allowed the coastal gentry to organize their own group training. This good tradition was inherited by the Jiangnan Group. All their factories, farms, mines, and forest farms organized guards, and the Jiangnan Security Group was responsible for training, equipment and management.

Like overseas reserves, all male workers and farmers must participate in military training and take turns on duty.

It happened to be the slack season in winter, and farms everywhere were organizing militia training. From time to time on the road, you could encounter militia carrying Longqing rifles and bedding and steel helmets. The bandits and pirates who had to get tired of living will come to such places to seek death...

Fortunately, his father and son were good people at first sight, and Hai Rui was seventy and eighty years old, so he was not investigated by the militia.

Hai Rui saw that although the militia were not as neat as the coast guards and their soldiers, and had strict military discipline, they were also very motivated and powerful.

Many of the young people are as tall as Hai Zhongping, and are much taller than their parents and have wider shoulders. This fully reflects their nutritional level, which is far beyond their parents back then.

In fact, those older militiamen, although they can't grow up, are also strong and full of energy. They can tell that they often eat meat.

Hai Rui knew that with Zhao Hao's strong encouragement, meat, eggs and milk have entered the daily recipes of the people in the Jiangnan region. Of course, who doesn't want to eat meat every meal? The key is that you have the conditions to achieve it.

Hai Rui has studied this and told his son that first of all, the income level in Jiangnan region has increased rapidly. Not to mention the income of group employees, just saying that under the leadership of Jiangnan Group, the income of Jiangnan people has also increased. Now he only hires a short-term worker and needs three taels of silver a month.

Moreover, this is due to the continuous influx of refugees, giving Jiangnan region sufficient cheap labor. Those skilled local weavers need to get five taels to get!

"At that time, a weaver worked hard for a month, but his income was only one or two or five." Hai Rui sighed infinitely.

"It's only one or five, how can you support your family?" The nineteen-year-old Hai Zhongping felt unimaginable.

"One or five, that's still Jiangnan in the paradise on earth. If you go to Shaanxi and Henan to handle work, it's good to manage food and accommodation. You still want wages?" Hai Rui shook his head. This is also the reason why he took his son to the inland.

"When the income of ordinary people increases, they will first increase their appetite and let the whole family have a full meal. Then find a way to eat well. This is called food for the people." Hai Rui sighed:

"This is what your Enunciation Zhao said to me in the fourth year of Longqing. He was not as big as yours at that time."

"Uh, the boy is so incompetent..." Hai Zhongping immediately blushed.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. A Zhao Hao has only been released in two thousand years. Who can compare with him?" Hai Rui laughed and said, "If you don't treat him as a human being, you will feel much more comfortable."

"Father is really understandable..." Hai Zhongping touched his cold red nose.

Hai Rui took off his scarf and wrapped it around his son. In old age, Hai Rui could not avoid the vulgarity.

"From then on, he ordered the farms under the development companies to vigorously raise six livestock and promote mulberry fish ponds. Later, large-scale chicken farms and pig farms were built in various counties. To be honest, my father thought he was too unrealistic at that time. Thank God for the people to have brown rice, pumpkin soup to fill them. How much feed is wasted with so much poultry and livestock?"

"The result is that my father's vision is short-sighted." Hai Rui sighed again: "A large amount of poultry meat was launched, which caused a shortage of prices, but it soon rose again, and the supply was in short supply. Alas, this person is like a wolf cub. After eating meat, it is difficult for him to eat vegetarian food again."

"Dad, I haven't eaten meat for two days..." Hai Zhongping suddenly felt hungry when he heard this.

"This kid, ah..." Hai Rui was about to say that our family could only eat meat when your grandmother's birthday. But can the days of that year be compared with now? He said angrily: "Let's watch it tonight."

The sea Zhongping immediately became energetic. You should show your strength to avoid eating meat at night.

"Soon, the breeding industry became the main source of income generated by farms, even more profitable than growing grain. Later, there were specialized farmers." Hai Rui continued to preach:

"But Jiangnan is not suitable for breeding, so it's cheaper in Jiangbei and Huainan. Although Nantong is very rich now, it was 20 years ago, but it was so poor that it was full of saline and alkaline wastelands everywhere."

"I know why this." Hai Zhongping said actively: "Originally, this was part of the Lianghuai Salt Field, but after the Yellow River seized the Huai River, a large amount of silt was deposited at the estuary, causing the coastline to expand eastward. In this way, the salt area in Huainan is farther away from the sea, and the silt is not reached, the halogen quality gradually fades, the salt yield is less, and there is no crop growing on the ground. The stove households can only cross the river to the south of the Yangtze River to make a living."

"Later, after the establishment of Tongkaisi, under the guidance of Zhao Engong, he bought all the deserted beaches along the coast of Huainan, surrounded them, and planted a large number of forage grass to raise cattle and sheep. It turned out that saline-alkali land was very suitable for forage grass growth, and was rich in salt, which was conducive to the growth of cattle and sheep." Hai Zhongping came with excitement, and his face flushed with excitement:

"The most shortage of cattle and sheep in the Jiangnan area is cattle and sheep, so naturally the purchase is open for high prices, so the ranch is quickly profitable. Moreover, the excretion produced by cattle and sheep is also a fertilizer to improve the soil quality of wasteland, which is a good business strategy that can be obtained in one fell swoop."

"Then the group spent huge amounts of money to build coastal embankments and dam gates to prevent seawater invasion. At the same time, it was built to build water conservancy and divert river water to irrigate, which led to the Golden Coast, which is more than 100 miles north of the river, and one million mu of coastal cotton fields!" Hai Zhongping and Youyou said:

"Now the cotton produced here is not only supplied to Jiangnan, but also established its own cotton spinning factory, known as Beisongjiang!"

Looking at the son's eyes shining, he obviously had already left his experiences and feelings in Jiangnan behind.

Hai Rui couldn't help but sigh secretly. The scholars trained by Jiangnan Group are not only far more interested in science than enrollment, but also far more interested in industry than in business...

Even his own son is no exception.

He knew that what Hai Zhongping had just talked about must be the cases he heard in the industrial classes offered by the middle school.

"If you are angry at the weak national strength, you should emphasize military preparation; if you are sad about the difficulties of people's livelihood, you should emphasize industrial development." This is the idea that Zhao Hao instilled in the students.

In his education system, the books of sages are only part of primary school Chinese knowledge. As for the imperial examination textbooks such as "Four Books Chapters and Sentences", only the academy specializes in studying them.

Alas, the principle of strengthening the country and prospering the country seems to be no longer in the words of the saints.
Chapter completed!
