After all the civil servants had paid their rewards, Wu Shou wrote: "After the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, Xiangguo will enter a period of internal affairs. If you don't practice internal skills, you can't do martial arts. This experience and lesson has been learned too deeply in the past few years. A wave of internal affairs brought by Fujunshou The wind has helped Xiang Guo's national strength rise to a higher level, and its military construction is also ideal. However, Jin State does not pay attention to internal affairs, blindly pursues military affairs, and finally destroys the country. Therefore, in the next few years, we will practice our internal strength well. After the national strength is strong, we will dominate the world. Let the people really live a good life." All the ministers promised in unison.
The ministers withdrew from the court, but Wu Shouwen stayed behind in Fu Xi. Wu Shouwen said: "Pig iron is a major military matter. I want to hold it firmly in my hands, and armaments must be prepared in advance. So I want you to have 200,000 kilograms of pig iron. Xi'er, don't be surprised." Fu Xi hurriedly replied: "That's right. Fuxi dare not." Wu Shouwen said: "Ji Wang Yuan Quanshui wrote to strengthen trade with our country. I would like to appoint you as the plenipotentiary representative of Xiang State to negotiate with Hebei State. One is to appease Hebei, and the other is to quickly strengthen our country's national strength. ." Fu Xi should be.
On the 20th, Fuxi returned to Suxian. Meeting with Zhao Si and five people from the Strategy Department. Fu Xiyan said: "Now that Xiangguo is safe, our risks are much smaller. King Xiang asked me to go to Hebei to discuss trade. We have to think about how to strengthen ourselves and Xiangguo." Li Yuanyan said: "Master, are there any risks in going to Hebei? ?" Fu Xi replied: "The national strength of Xiang State is now far beyond that of Hebei State, and Hebei State does not dare to make any mistakes." Tian Yuan said: "Master is going to Hebei State, and Tian Yuan is willing to accompany him, so that he can learn more about the information." Fu Xi Good words. Shi Xiuyan: "How should we talk about trade?" Fu Xiyan: "In general, export my country's goods to Hebei in exchange for Hebei's goods and technologies that are beneficial to us." Qu Jinyan: "We should talk about work Let's bring some experts from the ministry to talk with you?" Fu Xiyan: "That's right. Let Minister Xu bring more people to Hebei for a good trip." Zhao Siyan: "Our intelligence system in Hebei is weak and we don't have a good job. Collected technical information. But I heard that someone in Jin State can make fish floss." Fu Xi asked: "Fish floss? Is it made of soft and dried fish?" Zhao Si replied: "Yes. Does the master know this too?" Fu Xi said: "This is a good thing! Meat floss is easy to preserve and tastes delicious, better than salted fish and bacon. It can also better develop fisheries. Hebei can develop marine fisheries, and we can develop fish breeding." Su Guowei said: " The master has come up with a new industry. Cow!" Fu Xiyan said: "This is also inspired by the information told by Fourth Uncle Zhao. Taking advantage of the opportunity of deepening trade with Hebei, Fourth Uncle Zhao sent a large number of people to Hebei." Zhao Siyan yes.
On the 25th, Fu Xi, five people from the Strategy Department (Honda originally went, but later decided to go), Minister of Industry Xu Sanwei, and more than 20 experts from all walks of life went to Bocheng, the capital of Hebei, with a letter of authorization from King Xiang. As soon as Fu Xi and others entered the country, they were quickly greeted by an official from the State of Hebei. He was an official surnamed Li from the Ministry of Rites of the State of Hebei.
On the 30th, everyone arrived in Bocheng. Unexpectedly, I saw Yuan Quanshui, the king of Ji State, on the tower. When Yuan Quanshui saw Fu Xi and others arriving, he went down from the tower to greet them personally outside the city gate. Fu Xi and others hurriedly knelt down to salute, and Yuan Quan water supported Fu Xi. Yuan Quanshui said: "I've heard the name of Governor Fu for a long time. How lucky I am to see you face to face today!" Fu Xi replied: "Your Majesty's reputation is as powerful as thunder in Fu Xi's ears." Yuan Quanshui laughed loudly: "I definitely don't have that reputation. It's shameless. There’s a little more to the name.”
When everyone arrived at the palace, the king of Ji State sat upright and waited for Fu Xi to finish the ceremony. Yuan Quan's water life is all sitting. Yuan Quanshui said: "The two countries of Xiang and Hebei have always been friendly, with constant trade, and both countries have benefited. I ask King Xiang to expand trade so that the people's lives can be better." Fu Xi replied: "Your Majesty is kind, and we, the ministers, must do what we do Good news. I wonder what the king's policy is?" Yuan Quanshui said: "Fu County Governor is studying the four agricultural policies, and Hebei is learning. I hope County Governor Fu can sell us high-yielding grain seeds." Fu Xi replied: "Okay." Yuan Quanshui said. Surprised: "Is Governor Fu just agreeing like this?" Fu Xi replied: "Trade is for your good, my good and everyone's good." Yuan Quanshui asked: "What does Xiangguo need?" Fu Xi replied: "I brought some market personnel Come here, I want to know what special products there are in Hebei. Please allow them to go to various places in Hebei to learn about the market conditions." Yuan Quanshui said: "Yes. Trade is about exchanging what is needed. Gu also hopes to purchase looms and oil presses in large quantities at preferential prices. Fu Xi asked: "How much discount?" Yuan Quanshui said: "40% off the market price." Fu Xi replied: "I know that there are imitation looms in many places. The quality is not as good as ours and the price is more expensive than ours." Therefore, you must not do it at a 40% discount, and you will not do it if you are doing a loss-making business. The minimum is 10% off." Yuan Quanshui said: "Although your machines are of high quality and low price, the transportation cost is high. We buy your machines in many places, and the cost is too high. High." Fu Xiyan: "Then build roads, open waterways, and reduce transportation costs." Yuan Quanshui said: "It doesn't cost money to build roads?" Fu Xiyan: "That's called investment, and you will make money. How can you make this money? Can you save?" Yuan Quanshui smiled and said: "I can't beat you when I meet an economic expert like you. I'll give in and give you a 30% discount." Fu Xiyan said: "Then I'll give in and give you a 20% discount." Yuan Quanshui laughed. :"make a deal."
For the next period of time, Li Yuan and Tian Yuan accompanied Fu Xi to socialize everywhere. There were some literati and some with practical talents. Qu Jin, Shi Xiu, Su Guowei, and experts from the Ministry of Industry visited various counties in Hebei. Among them, Qu Jin and Xu Sanwei followed the information provided by Zhao Si to find a craftsman who knew how to make fish floss. His name was Jiang Dayu, a fisherman on the coast of Bocheng. . Qu Jin and Xu Sanwei visited Jiang Dayu with a large piece of bacon and a large can of soybean oil as gifts. Jiang Dayu felt very stressed when he saw such an expensive gift. Xu Sanwei said that he wanted to ask for advice on how to make fish floss. Jiang Dayu was so relieved that he came out completely bald in one breath. Qu Jin and Xu Sanwei were influenced by Fu Xi and understood the value of knowledge. They did not expect Jiang Dayu to be so simple! That's it all. Amid Jiang Dayu's thousands of thanks, Qu Jin and Xu Sanwei left. There is nothing difficult about making fish floss, it’s just something I didn’t expect. First cut the fish into large pieces, add ginger to remove the fishy smell, marinate with wine, then steam, remove the bones after steaming, pinch and loosen the fish, then fry the fish in oil, add soy sauce, salt and sugar, stir-fry continuously, and stir-fry until dry. At eight minutes, you can taste it, if it is not enough, you can season it, and finally stir-fry until the fish becomes dry and loose.
On April 5th, Fu Xi, Li Yuan, and Tian Yuan were invited to go on an outing and drink. The invitees were some of Li Yuan's classmates from the country of Hebei. They chose a small hill called Jishan outside Bocheng. Green steps lead to a pavilion on the top of the mountain. The pavilion is quite large and new. The servants put the drinks and cold dishes on the table, and everyone sat around chatting. Li Yuanyi's classmate, named Shen Shiming, asked: "How can Governor Fu know so much about economics after he is a famous general?" Fu Xi smiled and replied: "Maybe it's talent! I have a severe headache after reading the book of a saint. I can't help it. Learn from it. Read economic books with gusto. Gain a little bit." Everyone nodded. Jiang Yuying, another classmate of Li Yuan, said: "Me too. I am average in studying the books of saints, and I have no chance of writing articles in the imperial examination. I prefer to recite poems. Today, going out and drinking is also an elegant thing. How about everyone writing poems?" Li Yuan said: " Brother Jiang’s poems are very good. You can compose one first.” Jiang Yuying recited happily: “It’s a pity that the Qingming rain is also clear. In good spring, you must see Shuidong Pavilion. The peach blossoms are as colorful as horses, and the willows and crow trees are green.” Everyone cheered and drank a cup. Fu Xi followed him, but couldn't quite understand what was going on, let alone what was good about it. Gradually, everyone composed poems. Composing poems and drinking wine make everyone feel drunk. Finally, it was Fu Xi's turn. Li Yuan just wanted to speak for his lord. Fu Xi stood up and chanted loudly: "It's sad that Jiuzhou is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are silent. I urge God to cheer up and send talents of any kind." Everyone was stunned. In one day, the news spread throughout Bocheng.
