A poem should be written here—
The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees.
There are endless years in the cave, and there is a different world in the sky...
The next day, the sun went up three poles.
Xiong Wuliang opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Si Yi beside him. His mind was empty and he fell into deep thought.
Si Yi also woke up and when she saw Xiong Wuliang, her face couldn't help but blush: "Young Master..."
Xiong Wuliang got up from the bed, washed his face with warm water, and felt much more energetic.
Only when I saw Si Yi did I remember that I didn't know what the situation was like with my cheap father-in-law.
Logically speaking, it is time for Qi to completely annex the territory of Northern Vietnam.
However, Si Jing was still sending a steady stream of iron ore, and was exchanging arms, grain, grass and arrows from Xiong Wuliang - it seemed that the father-in-law's political power was still there.
But although the land of Vietnam is still independent, it is probably a scene of swords and swords at this time.
I hope my father-in-law can hold on, so that there will still be inexhaustible iron in the fiefdom.
In fact, Xiong Wuliang also intends to increase his support for Si Jing!
But this must be based on the premise that Qi State cannot attack for a long time... Otherwise, by supporting the past, wouldn't it be in vain to gain advantage for the people of Qi State?
All I can say is that we have to see first whether my father-in-law lives up to his expectations or not.
Don't blame Xiong Wuliang for being cold-blooded - after all, he is the lord of three counties, and he has to think about the people. Even if Si Jing is the father-in-law, he must first prove that he can hold Qi at least in a short period of time before Xiong Wuliang is willing to provide further assistance.
After all, Xiong Wuliang's money didn't come from the strong wind (lol, it was all stolen).
Of course, Xiong Wuliang would not sit back and watch Si Jing die - if the Vietnamese side could no longer bear it, the fiefdom would also welcome Si Jing and the refugees from the North to come over...
The unscrupulous man thinks he still has a humanitarian spirit...
…
Xiong Wuliang got on the bronze carriage and, accompanied by Shaohu, headed for Shi Er's industrial park.
If Quyang County is the center of the three counties, then this is the heart of Quyang County.
Quyang Army and Shaohu Army, totaling 3,000 sergeants, were stationed outside the industrial park and practiced day and night.
Every day, thousands of carts come and go from the industrial park.
On the small cart were a large number of arrows, cloth, cement, farm tools, glass, white paper, ceramics and other industrial products.
Except for cement, which must be kept for personal use, most of the other products must be sold in Quyang City's merchant shops to business travelers from various countries gathered here in exchange for cattle, war horses, mules and other livestock that are in short supply in Quyang County, as well as a large number of cash.
When Shi Er saw Xiong Wuliang, he stepped forward in three steps and held Xiong Wuliang's sleeve tightly: "My lord, you are finally back!"
"Without you, it's like there is no sun!"
"Now that the Lord is back, we craftsmen are like fishermen on the sea who have seen the guidance, and the dry farmland hopes for the rain..."
Xiong Wuliang's head is covered with black lines.
Zhong Hua and Shao Hu were also speechless for a while.
This stone has not been seen for two or two months, and it seems to have become even more dishonest!
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be.
Now there are four to five thousand workers under Shi Er - you must know that the fiefdom only has a total population of 60,000 - and he is considered a big shot in the fiefdom.
However, he still hasn’t forgotten his original intention of being Xiong Wuliang’s lackey!
What a great employee!
Shi Er respectfully introduced Xiong Wuliang into the park and kept introducing: "Now in the park, there are wood processing plants and hydraulic forging plants..."
"Ceramic factory, glass factory, paper factory, printing factory..."
"The cement factory, weaving factory... there are more than 3,000 skilled workers, of which more than 1,000 are female workers; in addition, there are more than 2,000 apprentices and part-time craftsmen."
Xiong Wuliang nodded slightly.
Although it sounds like there are a lot of people...
But most of these workers are those responsible for the transportation of raw materials and finished products. The craftsmen who are actually responsible for assembly line production in the workshop account for less than half of the total.
After all, in this era, although Xiong Wuliang invented cement roads and trolleys, the overall transportation methods were still relatively backward.
Nearly 5,000 people have left agricultural production and joined industrial parks... mainly because of the improvement of agricultural technology.
With the gradual spread of various new farm tools, especially iron farm tools, farm work that originally required three people can now be done by one person.
The excess labor force has nowhere to go, and they just want to earn some money to support their families, so they will naturally flock to factories recruiting workers.
Under the guidance of Shi Er, Xiong Wuliang entered the cement factory to inspect.
The cement plant is the top priority.
Not only did the construction of the fiefdom, especially the raw materials for road construction and housing, all depend on the cement factory, but Xiong Wuliang gave a fatal order at the beginning - the cement formula must not be spread out!
When the craftsmen in the cement factory heard that Xiong Wuliang was coming, they dropped all their work!
"Master! Master is here!"
"Without my little master, we wouldn't have the good life we have today!"
"Long live my lord!"
"My little master's kindness will never end in my lifetime..."
Xiong Wuliang's eyes darkened.
It seems that what kind of leaders there are in the company will have what kind of cultural atmosphere...
Why does this industrial park tend to be completely 'stoned'?
After wandering around the entire park, Xiong Wuliang was very satisfied.
Although this Shi Er is a bit too cowardly, his abilities are still pretty good.
There are four to five thousand workers, belonging to different factories and different positions. Xiong Wuliang feels inferior to being able to deploy them in an orderly manner.
Before leaving, Xiong Wuliang patted Shi Er on the shoulder and slapped the CPU hard——
"Sure enough, you have lived up to the trust I had placed in you!"
"Keep up the good work from now on, I can see all your hard work!"
"..."
Shi Er was moved to tears...
Sure enough, the master has me in his heart!
As soon as he walked out of the industrial park, he saw Zhong Hua riding a fast horse, galloping forward.
Zhong Hua turned over and dismounted, and raised his hands to Xiong Wu Liangyi: "My lord!"
"Doctor Qu Yuan is here, waiting to see you at the mansion!"
…
Although Qu Yuan was demoted to the end by the King of Chu and became a commoner... he was after all a famous minister in both the government and the public.
Although the reform and consolidation party headed by Qu Yuan has lost Qu Yuan as its spiritual leader, it is now completely suppressed by the Zhaoju party in the court...
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the young group is being suppressed and shrinking... it is still quite strong!
When Qu Yuan came to the fiefdom, Zhong Hua certainly did not dare to neglect him.
Xiong Wuliang raised his eyebrows with joy!
When he just came back from Qin, Xiong Wuliang wanted to find Qu Yuan and abduct the latter back to his fiefdom...
Unfortunately, even after searching the capital of Ying, there was no sign of Qu Yuan.
Xiong Wuliang went to the house of General Qu Ping of the Zhu Kingdom to inquire again, and then he learned that Qu Yuan had left Yingdu, traveling in a light carriage and traveling around the countryside of Chu Kingdom.
At that time, Xiong Wuliang felt even more respect in his heart.
Even after being reprimanded by the king, his patriotism remained undiminished, which most people could not do.
Especially in this era of different voices and rampant banditry... Searching the countryside of Chu State is a time-consuming and laborious task.
As expected of Qu Yuan!
When I tried to attract a young man, I couldn't find anyone, but now I actually took the initiative to send him to my door.
Xiong Wuliang slapped his hands: "Very good——"
