These changes in the Iron Wall Pass were carried out slowly. The behind-the-scenes commanders of these things are Chen Wenhui and his wife. However, the husband and wife are not the specific operators.

For example, the previous price war of the acquisition industry was caused by Chen Wenhui to the Wen family, Zeng family, Xi family, and local Xiao Chen family stewards and Ma family stewards from Jiangnan, under the leadership of Yan Shupeng and his wife.

The establishment of these workshops and schools in the city was determined by Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi, and was done little by little by the people below.

Chen Wenhui and his wife still have important things to do.

The first important thing is to take out the fourth treasure.

This treasure may be the easiest of the four treasures that Chen Wenhui took out. Because when this treasure was taken out, the entire Iron Wall Pass was that Chen Wenhui and his wife were the supreme officials, and she no longer had to take risks, be careful, or sneak.

The treasure was easily taken out. It's also a small metal clip, and inside it are two thin books. One is the "Hundred Crafts Cheats", which has many recipes. What did not disappoint Chen Wenhui was that there was a formula for cement in it. In fact, Chen Wenhui doesn't like cement very much, in his previous life, Chen Wenhui hated the kind of steel forest caused by cement and steel bars. However, I have to admit that with cement, the speed of construction can indeed be much faster.

Chen Wenhui handed over this technology to the most trusted children of the Hei family. Let them prepare, experiment, and master this technology, so that when spring comes, they will build a cement plant in Tiebiguan in the northwest.

In addition to cement, there are some other things. For example, the formula of alloys, for example, the secret method of steel refining. Chen Wenhui was very surprised, how many things did Fusu bring from his previous life, and how many things against the sky did he gather to study after he ruled the world later?

In addition to these very useful things, there is also a thin book written in English by Emperor Fusu. In this, Fusu was very distressed, he said, he ruled the whole world. Civilization also began to spread. However, the country did not become as rich and powerful as he imagined.

Instead, once again caught up in infighting. The hundreds of officials in his court stood in line, and some were on the side of the eldest son. Some are on the younger son's side. There was a peaceful atmosphere in the harem. But. His son. The daughters still can't avoid the continuous premature death, and many of them have unexplained miscarriages during the fetus.

These things made him very angry, but. Every time the investigation is unsuccessful. In this harem, in the court, I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks are hidden, and in the end, even he himself doesn't trust anyone anymore. It's chilling to think about.

He began to introspect and blame himself, why did the good-looking, kind, naïve beauties he liked at the beginning all become conspirators?

He didn't favor anyone, he treated his lover equally, and cared for him the same. But why did things turn out the way they did?

Seeing this, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but pout, and said, "He thinks that a man with a group of women can live a happy life and enjoy the blessings of all people?" Hmph, what a dream. What kind woman would want to share her husband with another woman? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "My father is also a good father, but his Zhongyi Mansion is also a mess. Which family of those dignitaries and nobles in the capital is not like this? That is, your Xiao Chen family does not have these bad things. ”

Chen Wenhui said proudly: "That's because my father is very wise and insists on not allowing the existence of concubines." ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly flattered and said, "My father-in-law is indeed the wise man of my Great Chu. Why don't we also set up such a family rule, and future generations are not allowed to marry concubines. Luckily? ”

Chen Wenhui was very satisfied and said: "Of course, I don't want to live in a complicated environment of wives and concubines in the future." It's a must. ”

The husband and wife chatted for a while, and continued to see the burial location of the next treasure prompted by Emperor Fusu. This treasure is the last treasure, Chen Wenhui is really curious, where will Emperor Fusu bury the treasure?

The result surprised the two of them, and the last treasure was in the capital. This capital is the capital of Great Chu, and it is also the capital of the former dynasty, that is, the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Great Chu was a stolen dynasty, and it did not change the location of the capital.

Chen Wenhui said: "It's troublesome now, we can't go back to get it now, we can only wait until later, go back to the capital, and talk about this matter." ”

Zhao Chongyi said with a smile: "It won't be long before we marry Xue next year?" Will be going back soon. ”

Chen Wenhui glanced at him and said, "Where can it be so fast?" Even if it is that next year, Master Mu Li will come to ask for marriage as scheduled, we can't marry Rong Xue immediately, we still have to prepare a dowry, and we have to go through a lot of procedures for three media and six hires. I see, in the year after tomorrow, it would be good for Langxue to be able to get married. ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it, so he could only smile and say, "Then it's the same if I go back the year after tomorrow." That treasure has been in place for almost a thousand years, and I don't care about the past few days. However, the "Hundred Crafts Cheats" we got this time is very useful. I wonder if we are going to build another steel plant in the northwest, and a cement plant? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The land in the northwest is very poor, and we certainly cannot get rich by agriculture. So, I was going to go down the industrial path from the beginning. ”

Zhao Chongyi suddenly realized and said: "No wonder you let the merchants in Jiangnan buy land, houses, and shops in Tiebi Pass, you just deliberately let those ordinary people have no land to cultivate, right?" In this way, they can only work hard as workers and enter the workshop. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "This is a voluntary act. I didn't force it. Those who are willing to look at the immediate interests are also right to sell the land. In this way, the land is more concentrated, and we can more easily promote new agricultural tools, new planting methods, plus the promotion of cattle ploughing and horse ploughing, so that a farmer can cultivate more land. In this way, a large amount of surplus labor was liberated. What is the liberated labor force for? Naturally, he went to work as a worker in the workshop. In fact, being a worker is much more profitable than being a farmer. If we want to stabilize the development of the northwest in ten years, can we not use special methods? ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it and said: "Up to now, we have recruited so many people, and I think that after a winter of work, they can each feed their families, so that we will freeze to death in Tiebiguan this year, and there will be many fewer people who will starve to death." In the coming year, there will be more people with money in their hands, more people will buy farm tools, more things, more clothes, fabrics, seeds, etc., and our economy will become more and more prosperous. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, at the beginning of spring next year, our canning workshop will start production." I'm ready to make glassmakers, but what about your connections with the steppe tribes? Don't let me have money next year and canned livestock? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "How can there be no connection?" However, this matter is not urgent now, there is still a long winter for us to plan. Now that the barbarians in this steppe are gone, five more powerful tribes have recently emerged. They are the Qiang, Rong, Naiman, Shaman, and Xing. In addition, there are many small tribes. I can connect with all five of them. In addition, there are many small tribes near our Tiebi Pass that are dependent on our Tiebi Pass. ”

"Now the harsh winter is difficult for the people of our Tiebi Pass, and for those tribes, it is the same hardship, and they are also facing the problems of winter, keeping out the cold, being fed, and wearing warmth. I have already sent the Northwest Army, which is familiar with the situation, with the grain we have purchased from Jiangnan, to deliver charcoal to these tribes who have suffered so hard in winter. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You can be a man." It is not distressing to spend the emperor's money. Is the emperor willing to send it for nothing? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Isn't this a grace? The emperor is still willing. This is to let the tribes on the grassland see, our Dachu is rich, we have endless food, we have good brick tea, we are warm and comfortable here. Over time, they will slowly listen to us. ”

"Also, after the beginning of spring, these tribes who have survived the difficulties will be polarized. Those who are grateful will be grateful to us for saving them, and will come to Tiebi Pass to thank us in the spring when the grass and trees grow after the ice and snow. When the time comes, we propose to trade livestock with them, exchanging their favorite grain, cloth, porcelain, bricks, tea and other items for war horses and livestock, and they must be very happy and willing, and they will slowly form a habit and trade with us. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to buy beef and mutton? ”

"Of course, there are also some wolf cubs who are not well fed, and they will look at our production here and will come to rob us. We are not afraid of such a tribe. It just gave us an excuse to get rid of them. My Northwest Army is not a vegetarian. Back then, the barbarians were so powerful that we could all win, what were these small tribes that were not in the climate? It's just for the fighters to practice. War is not without benefits. We will produce a lot of captives, which can be sold to our Nanyang through the Ma family, or to the Wa Kingdom and Yizhou Island. Isn't that a good thing? In addition, we can reward the destroyed chassis to the tribes who listen to us. In this way, in the long run, those who are disobedient will be destroyed, and those who are obedient will become stronger and stronger, so that the northwest will not be able to gradually stabilize? ”

Chen Wenhui doesn't understand much about the war, but she still understands this step by step. Chen Wenhui couldn't help laughing. At this time, Zhao Chongyi suddenly said: "Hui'er, the merchants in Jiangnan have arrived, and you have made another profit, right?" (To be continued......)
