Jiang Fan smiled: "I'm special. First of all, I have no cultivation at all. The nine hundred-level inner demon has no influence on me."
Ying Wushuang shook his head: "The Nine Hundred Inner Demons does not necessarily require cultivation. It has the same impact on everyone."
"So, this is just the first point. The second point is that I have had special experiences and have no sense of inner demons. On the contrary, I may not be able to pass some normal tests."
As for what the special experience Jiang Fan mentioned, Ying Wushuang did not ask, and Jiang Fan liked her for that. However, this is what scares her the most. Just because she doesn't ask doesn't mean she doesn't know or doesn't want to know.
"You should handle Ba Qing's matters yourself. This person is not simple."
Jiang Fan certainly listened to Ying Wushuang's warning. In fact, Ba Qing is certainly not simple. He is ranked among the three wise men in the world at such a young age, and is as famous as his predecessors. Who dares to look down upon him?
And although he doesn't show up much, his influence is huge, as can be seen from the riots caused in just one month.
"I understand, but Ba Qing is very important to me. Although Cheng Xin has excellent qualifications, he is still too young."
"Trade is more useful than I thought. This time you have achieved many goals through a friendly trade agreement. I am also very surprised. To be honest, I am a little shocked. Some things can actually be done like this."
"Should I be proud?"
Ying Wushuang snorted: "You're drifting again."
"Haha...it won't float in the hands of a lady."
Ying Wushuang said: "Although Wei Guo has solved its urgent need because of you, they will never be grateful to you for the piercing pain that will follow. In fact, you may even become the second target of death after me."
Being targeted was inevitable, Jiang Fan had known this for a long time, but after weighing the pros and cons, he finally made a choice.
"I just hope she won't blame me then..." Jiang Fan felt a little bitter in his heart.
Ying Wushuang's eyes became a little gentle: "With her family, country and world, it will be difficult for her to choose in the future..."
Jiang Fan sighed: "We can only discuss the future later."
Knowing that he was a little depressed, Ying Wushuang did not deliberately talk about the matter again, and changed the subject to talk about the Lishan fiefdom.
Nowadays, the Lishan fiefdom is under construction in full swing, and the first phase of the project is nearing completion. In fact, Jiang Fan did not start building the palace in the first phase of the project, but took the lead in building the workshop. There are ten major workshops in total, including steel smelting, cement manufacturing, wine brewing, printing and bookstore, salt refining, porcelain kiln, glass workshop, weaving workshop, agricultural tools workshop, and tea making workshop.
Unlike others, the construction of workshops is relatively fast. For example, the most urgent ones, cement, printing and glazed workshops, have begun production, which has also provided a steady stream of funds for later construction. As for other workshops, they will be gradually completed within half a year.
In order to meet future needs, Jiang Fan even built a large number of accommodation areas to prepare for future workers.
In addition to these, a large amount of wasteland has been opened up and hundreds of greenhouses have been built. Jiang Fan didn't plan to use plastic, after all, he was disgusted with this thing, but first covered it with some kind of special cloth. In the future, after Liulicang is put into mass production, it will be replaced by glass.
At present, all the workers recruited are from poor families from all over the country, except for those from stable local families. Since all these things need to be kept secret in the early stage, the selection is very strict. Once hired, the benefits will be generous, but the condition is that the family must move to Lishan to live, and they are not allowed to leave here for at least three years.
But this condition is nothing. The generous rewards of working have attracted countless people, so there is no shortage of workers. Even his family members were organized into various types of work. Such as clearing wasteland for farming, building bridges and roads, domesticating poultry, etc. After the manufacturing workshop is completed, women can also work in it.
Jiang Fan even made special plans to set up a college for the children of these people to attend.
Of course, this is already a plan after the second or third phase, and many things cannot be accomplished overnight.
As for the craftsmen, there are 3,000 public losers as the backbone, and tens of thousands of craftsmen of various types have been secretly recruited from all over the country, and they are undergoing intense work and training every day. The future is the core technical strength of these workshops.
The construction of Lishan County is grand and secretive. Therefore, before the official start of construction, simple fences were erected around Lishan County, and now the city wall is being built, which is the second largest part of the first phase of the project besides the workshops. Fortunately, Yeosan County is surrounded by mountains. Not only is it rich in stone materials, but there are only a few entrances and exits, making it easy to prevent.
As for the third part of the first phase of the project, it is to organize the entire land, including clearing mountains, reclaiming wasteland, leveling land, etc. However, through strict planning and design, these can be carried out simultaneously with the construction of the workshop without affecting each other.
In the eyes of outsiders, the construction of the Lishan Palace was nothing more than the empress' favor for King Xiaoyao. She wanted to build him the most luxurious palace and create a wealthy fief for him. But the truth is known to only a few people.
Of course, there were many ministers and ministers who objected to such a move that mobilized troops and wasted money and people. However, I heard that after King Xiaoyao himself provided the money, no one would care about such things anymore.
If people are rich and happy, what can you do?
However, Jiang Fan and the Empress knew in their hearts that they were still in a money-burning stage and had a serious lack of funds. Apart from some special support from the Empress, they could no longer rely on funds. Therefore, Jiang Fan strictly urged that glaze, cement, printing and ceramics should be completed first. Cement is a necessity. It is difficult to be self-sufficient in a short time, and there is no possibility of selling out. But luxury goods such as colored glaze and ceramics are different. After being put into production, they are sold directly to the four countries through caravans. They will definitely gain huge profits, and they will be able to support the subsequent construction of the entire fiefdom.
There were too many things going on in Lishan, and the two of them chatted until the lanterns came on without even realizing it.
Zhao Gao, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that the prince was not planning to leave again. He quickly ordered people to prepare dinner ingredients.
The reason why he prepared the ingredients was because he understood that King Xiaoyao's taste was too finicky and the imperial chef could not satisfy him at all. Fortunately, this king is a bit of a maverick. He doesn't care about other people's opinions and just cooks by himself. He is very easy to serve.
And the empress can eat a lot more at this time. Sometimes they can even enjoy the leftovers.
Of course, it's not just that. As long as the prince is here, His Majesty will be much easier to talk to. The kind of solemnity and pressure that makes people cautious does not exist, and everyone is very comfortable.
Therefore, everyone is very happy when the prince stays overnight.
Of course, for the most popular person in Qifengtai, the ingredients cannot be sloppy. After Zhao Gao asked the prince what he thought, he prepared mutton hot pot today.
