I lead the system to tease the First Emperor to build infrastructure

Zhao Jun took the map and flipped through it carefully.

"I know the road in Berkshire is difficult, so I'm here."

"In this way, these counties are too many, let's discuss the key points first, let's talk about the nearest Chongji first."

"I wish the governor, you should have visited more in the nearest county."

Zhao Jun pointed to the nearest county town on the map and asked.

"That's right, my lord, Chongji's subordinates go the most. This county is the closest to the prefecture and county. Relatively speaking, the road is relatively easy to walk. You only need to climb a mountain to get there."

"However, there are steep slopes in Chongji, and the environment is not suitable for growing peppercorns, so their county mainly breeds chickens and ducks."

"However, didn't the above distribute corn and sweet potato seeds last year? Originally, Berkshire could not grow many crops such as corn, but corn grows very well in Chongji, and the living standards of the people in Chongji are relatively high now."

While Zhu Lin was talking, Xiao He was recording.

"What about the farthest Jingshan County?"

Zhao Jun asked again.

Zhu Lin's face suddenly showed some embarrassment.

"Contrary to Chongji County, Jingshan County is the farthest county. If you want to go from Berkshire to Jingshan, you have to go through thousands of mountains and rivers. People from Jingshan County almost never come to the state. "

"In addition, the lives of the people in Jingshan County are the most difficult. They are located in the deepest mountain depressions. Almost all of them are mountain forests where no food can be grown, and pepper can't grow."

"Usually I make a living by hunting in the mountains, and then go to other counties that are a little closer to exchange things for things."

The farthest and the nearest are all finished, then the largest Linjiao County is next.

Xiao He marked it on purpose, so what can be said about the biggest.

"Linjiao County is indeed the largest county in Berkshire. Even though our place is obviously the seat of the state county, Linjiao County should actually be the real state county."

"The terrain of Linjiao County is relatively flat, and there are no particularly high mountains around. The most important thing is that it is the largest pepper growing area in Berkshire, and % of the peppercorns traded abroad come from there."

"And what's more, it's still where the Shi family is located."

This was the first time Zhu Lin mentioned a specific family.

"The Shi family? Is it a very powerful family?"

Zhao Jun was eagerly preparing to listen to what he said about the Shi family.

Zhu Lin was also straightforward, because as long as he came to Berkshire, he would definitely know about Shi's family in the end.

"The Shi family is the most famous family in Berkshire. Their family specializes in selling peppercorns. They bought a large piece of land to grow peppercorns, and they also accept peppercorns from all surrounding counties."

"In some small counties, there are no outlets for selling peppers. The Shi family will accept the peppercorns from these people, and the price is fair. Therefore, although there are many people growing peppercorns in Berkshire, almost % of them will sell them directly to the Shi family. The homeowner must have earned some price difference from it, but it is still relatively fair.”

"Then how did the Shi family transport it? I think Linjiao County is basically located in the middle of Berkshire. How do they transport the peppercorns for sale?"

Linjiao County is not very close to here, and the road must be difficult.

"Well, the Shi family has cultivated a group of specialized delivery teams. They set up a sales point here in Zhou County, and send people to deliver it every two or three months. There are merchants in Berkshire directly to receive it."

Zhao Jun nodded in silence for a while.

"The situation in these three counties is basically like this. Do you need to know more about the situation in other counties?"

Zhu Lin asked.

"No, the situation in Berkshire is complicated. The three counties mentioned today are enough. Let us find out by ourselves later."

The situation in these three counties alone is already very complicated, and the remaining dozen or so counties will not be able to accept it for a while.

"Xiao He, what do you think we should do first?"

She glanced at Xiao He, and she already had a plan in her heart.

"I think we should go to Linjiao County first, and meet the Shi family."

Xiao He glanced at the things recorded on the paper, and quickly answered.

"Yes, I also think we have to meet the Shi family first."

"I wish the governor, please make arrangements here. We will go to Linjiao County tomorrow. How long will it take on the way?"

Zhu Lin answered quickly.

"It will take about five days on the road, mainly because you have to walk and climb mountains along the way, so the time will be relatively long."

"If your lord is leaving tomorrow, I can ask Captain Su to take you there. He is most familiar with the roads in this subordinate county."

"Okay, let's do this. By the way, tell us how much you know about the Shi family."

Zhao Jun pulled Xiao He and began to sit in a row to listen to the story.

"Xiaguan and the Shi family have had a lot of contacts. The head of the Shi family is Shi Hong, the eldest brother. He is very straightforward and loyal, and he doesn't care about trivial matters. He can play with everyone, so there are many friends. He is in charge."

"The second-in-command is Shi Hong's younger brother Shi Gan, who knows the most about peppercorns, so he is responsible for the growth and quality of peppercorns grown by the Shi family. To his credit."

"The two brothers also have a younger sister named Shi Yu, who is very generous. She is in charge of the Shi family's accounts, and she is in charge of all the expenses and income of Zanthoxylum bungeanum."

"The Shi family is mainly managed by their three brothers and sisters, and the other lower officials don't know anything."

"Oh, by the way, the Shi family also has a special transportation team that they have cultivated by themselves. The name is the Three Stones Team. The leader is Shi Shi. He is the Shi family who most often goes in and out of the county."

"Others, I really don't know very well."

"Thank you, Sir, it has been very detailed."

Zhao Jun kept these four people in mind, and I am afraid that he will have to deal with them in the future.

"Don't dare to dare, it's what lower officials should do, then you should be busy first, I'll go down here and make arrangements for tomorrow's trip."

After Zhu Lin said hello, he retreated first.

Zhao Jun and Xiao He were still sorting out the materials they had just read in the study.

"How, how does it feel."

Zhao Jun flipped through Xiao He's paper full of records and asked.

"The situation in Berkshire is still very complicated, especially this afternoon, I feel that I have listened to a long explanation."

Indeed, they came to the study after lunch, and it will be evening soon.

"Okay, it's enough to have a preliminary understanding, and then I will get in touch with it slowly."

"By the way, where did Liu Ji go?"

They listened to the class all afternoon boringly, but they didn't see Liu Ji all the time.

"He didn't come in when we came to the study, saying he was going to wander the street for a while."

"Well, I really didn't expect him to come and hear that."

"I'm going back first, and I'm going to start my journey again tomorrow. When Liu Ji comes back, you can inform him."

After sitting all afternoon, she also felt very tired, so she stretched her waist and left.
