Liu Zheng felt like crying.
What is this?
Qingyang Shuo was also speechless. No matter how calm his heart was, how could he withstand such ridicule.
Hu Xier was also happy.
Do you have a beautiful dad who always makes you feel so invisible?
wrong!
These people thought Liu Zheng had returned with a wife, and what kind of presence were they looking for? Thinking of this, he glared at Liu Zheng again and said angrily: "What are you looking at? This is my father, your Mr. Liu who invited you to come out to be the chief historian!"
Everyone was in an uproar and started talking instantly.
A few days ago, Changshi Shen Xing went to Yangzhou to take office. People were still discussing and guessing who the next Changshi would be. Those prominent families had also been recommending, trying hard to arrange people from their own families to be the Changshi. History of this position.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng invited such a disabled person to come?
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and all looked at him with suspicion.
Liu Dahao, dressed in bright red, also wore a lonely look. He asked curiously: "Zheng'er, Changshi?"
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded.
The corner of Liu Dahao's mouth twitched, he was a little doubtful about life. He thought that his son really had the habit of Longyang? So when he looked at Qingyang Shuo, his eyes were wrong, and he snorted: "Zheng'er, I am the Yin Yang Marquis, right? Changshi holds an important position, and it is not just about looks!"
"you……"
Hu Xier was furious. Qingyang Shuo also couldn't laugh or cry.
Liu Zheng was sweating coldly: "Dad, Mr. Qingyang..."
At this time, several prominent families watching the excitement also laughed.
"Master Liu, how dare you call such a charming person sir?"
"Yes, Mr. Liu, the one recommended by our families is the truly talented gentleman!"
They were all a little angry.
Liu Dahao also deeply agreed, nodded and sneered: "My son, it would be okay if it was the in-laws, but this is not even the in-laws. It's hard to convince people!"
Everyone laughed.
Liu Zheng was even dumbfounded.
Qingyang Shuo said calmly: "Master Zhouhou, do you want to test Qingyang? Please ask Master Zhou to propose a question!"
His calm demeanor would be nothing if he was in a small wine shop. However, under the public gaze, many men were immediately overwhelmed and ready to make a move. It can be seen that Qing Yangshuo's "beauty" is indeed outstanding.
The crowd booed again.
Liu Dahao smiled coldly. In order to correct his son's sexual orientation, he also tried his best and said: "Mr. Qingyang, I have been a little ill recently and my government affairs have been in trouble. Since you feel that you are qualified to be the chief official, sir, can you help me?" ?”
Everyone agreed.
Qingyang Shuo smiled faintly and made a gesture of invitation.
Everyone followed him curiously.
Liu Dahao deliberately gave the writing counselor a look, and the latter immediately understood. After Qingyangshuo was pushed in by Hu Xier, he ran to pick up a pile of bamboo slips and papers, and put them on the table in front of Qingyangshuo with ill intentions.
Everyone gloated.
Hu Xi'er also had an angry look on her face, thinking that my father is such a talented man, and he is appointed as a long-term historian for you, but you have such an attitude? When he was angry, he wanted to push Qingyang Shuo away.
Qingyang Shuo shook his head lightly.
He knows better than Hu Xier how difficult it is to have a confidant in life. Mr. Liu drives the car himself and treats him like a teacher. As talented as he is, he should also be generous. He can't stand such questions. How can he be considered a great talent? Now that I have accepted such an errand, I have to restore Mr. Liu's face.
Seeing the documents in front of him, he just smiled faintly and asked Hu Xier to help him grind the ink.
Everyone gathered around to watch, and most of them thought that this handsome man was playing tricks.
Unexpectedly, Qingyang Shuo casually picked up the pen, glanced at the documents, and without much thought, started giving instructions.
Liu Dahao laughed endlessly.
These documents were all official affairs that he found annoying at first glance. They required all kinds of calculations and deliberation. He found them annoying, so he just put them aside and let the counselors take their time.
You can do it with just one look?
However, he was next to him, with a look of disdain at first, then a look of shock, and then his eyes lit up.
"This, this, this..."
Liu Dahao was shocked.
Several counselors also came over, and they were also dumbfounded.
This Qingyang Shuo doesn't care about farm work, fortification, military work, or trivial matters on the street. He doesn't even have to look at it. He can do it all at his fingertips. How many pigs a sow has given birth to, how much tax needs to be paid, and how many have died, how much subsidy should be paid... When a sow has given birth to a baby, how much subsidy should be paid by Yinzhou - there are policies in Yinyang to encourage childbirth. Then, how much tuition and miscellaneous fees these children need to pay to go to public schools, how much logistics equipment is needed, and the expenses are included...
He could do it all without thinking.
"this……"
"impossible!"
"Writing nonsense!"
The counselors quickly gathered around, picked up the documents that Qingyang Shuo had calculated, and matched them with the abacus. What shocked them was that there was no deviation at all after the calculations!
For a moment, everyone looked at Qingyang Shuo in disbelief.
Is this a monster?
For more than an hour, while drinking tea, Qing Yangshuo slowly cleared away all the government affairs that Liu Dahao had accumulated for two months!
One person, in one hour, completed a month's workload of the entire Yinzhou Prefecture!
What a genius and what a monster?
The scene was deathly quiet.
The noble people were all stunned when they saw this scene.
Qingyang Shuo looked at Liu Dahao calmly: "Liu Zhouhou, are there any more?"
"ah!"
Liu Dahao jumped up in fright, and immediately had a smile on his face: "It's gone, no, no, there's more, hurry up, what are you doing standing still, hurry up and get the official uniform for Qing Changshi!"
The whole audience burst into laughter, and all the counselors were astonished.
Liu Zheng was even more satisfied and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry about the official uniform. I will take Mr. Qingyang to Yintan City to see it first."
"It should be!"
Naturally, Liu Dahao had no objection. He personally picked up the measuring tape, measured it for Qingyang Shuo, and then ordered the official uniforms to be made immediately. Liu Zheng could only let him do whatever he wanted for his living treasure dad.
Qing Yangshuo was actually very interested in Liu Zheng's Silver Beach City.
Three days ago, the two asked each other three questions. He knew that Mr. Liu must have a lot of cards in his hand. It is easy to say that soldiers establish the world, but is it really that simple? The energy production quality is comparable to the Zang family's weapons, which is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Therefore, although he often heard passers-by talk about the Silver Beach City, when he saw this majestic project from a distance, he still took a breath: "Young Master's plan is very big!"
Liu Zheng didn't hide anything, saying: "It's all salt."
"What?"
Qingyang Shuo raised his eyelids and was stunned for a while before bursting into laughter.
At this time, he was really smiling happily! The last barrier between him and Mr. Liu was finally gone. Qingyang Shuo himself is a "remnant" of the Qingyang clan, and the people of the world are afraid that he will be found out and punished. If Liu Zheng's secret hiding of Qingyang Shuo is made known to the royal family, then Yin Yang will probably be directly punished by the royal family. The cavalry was trampled to the ground.
But things are different now...
This Mr. Liu actually makes salt secretly!
If the imperial court finds out about this, I'm afraid it will also be a matter of punishing the Nine Clan!
As a result, Qingyang Shuo felt much more relaxed, and the two of them were truly on the same rope.
He looked at the Silver Beach City lightly and said with a smile: "I see, since the young master has such craftsmanship, then Shuo is even more certain."
Liu Zheng pushed him into Yintan City and looked at the process one by one. Hu Xier next to him was also amazed and cheered. He was not as disgusted with Liu Zheng as he was at first. After watching it, Qingyang Shuo was also amazed at Liu Zheng's talent, and his confidence in Liu Zheng was greatly increased.
"only……"
Liu Zheng said distressedly: "Sir, the population of Yinyang has always been insufficient. Although the government has encouraged childbirth and provided subsidies, that was a century-old plan. Now..."
It is conservatively estimated that the construction of Silver Beach City would require one hundred thousand laborers...
One hundred thousand!
Currently, the two prefectures of Yinyang only have a total population of 800,000. But almost everyone has their own division of labor. How can it be that easy to find 100,000 people to come to Silver Beach City? Therefore, the biggest difficulty facing Yinyang now has changed from lack of money to insufficient population. However, in this era, population is actually the most important production tool. Liu Zheng is not yet powerful enough to truly realize automated production in Silver Beach City - in that case, he will probably go to heaven.
Qingyang Shuo chuckled and said, "Even if there are people in Yin Yang, they can't be used in Yintan City."
Liu Zheng was stunned: "Sir, why is this?"
However, as soon as this question came up, he suddenly realized it and his face changed slightly.
Yes, the salt factory in Yintan City was more criminal in the Longyang Dynasty than the drug factory in later generations. Liu Zheng is certainly not afraid, but what about the common people? Although they may come to Yintan City to work for money, but... there are 100,000 people, how can Liu Zheng ensure that they have the same ideas?
If someone revealed the news in Yintan City, wouldn't Liu Zheng be done with it?
"There are Kunlun slaves in the Western Regions. What do you think, Master?"
Qingyang Shuo smiled lightly.
Liu Zheng was overjoyed: "Congratulations, sir!"
Kunlun slaves are not actually from the Kunlun Mountains... The word "Kunlun" generally refers to black in ancient times. Here, there are generally Southeast Asian slaves, most of whom are black people from Southeast Asia, that is, Negritos. There are also a small number of black people who came to China with the Arabs. The Kunlun slaves Qing Yangshuo was talking about were these black people. These Kunlun slaves are as strong as cattle, gentle in temperament, down-to-earth, upright, and hard-working, so many nobles are rushing to get them.
Due to religious beliefs, the Western Regions have been doing business with the Arabs for a long time.
Therefore, Kunlun slaves are a relatively active commodity in the Western Regions. But when it came to the Longyan Dynasty, only the nobles could afford it.
Liu Zheng also thought about finding those slave traders before, but the price was too high...
If he wants 100,000 laborers, he may not be able to get it without a million taels of silver! Nowadays, Yinzhou is still in a state where hundreds of businesses are waiting to be prospered. Money is needed everywhere. How can Liu Zheng be willing to spend millions at once?
But with Qing Yangshuo's suggestion, his mind started to come alive.
I am definitely reluctant to part with the money, but what about the goods?
"I'll go to the Western Region right away!"
Liu Zheng said excitedly.
But Qingyang Shuo slowly shook his head: "Shuo has two plans, which need to be considered by the young master."
"What's the plan?"
Liu Zheng perked up.
