In Liaodong in the second lunar month, the ice and snow have begun to melt, and everything has begun to recover.

At the urging of his mother and Jun Xiangjuxin, Ji Kang returned to Xiangping City at the end of February.

And the old manager Ji Mao was arranged by Ji Kang to inspect the counties. He was responsible for supervising the counties and counties, recruiting displaced people, building roads, and cultivating the land.

At this time, the official road from Xinchang Anshan to Xiangping and drama has been completely renovated, and the official road from Wuxi, Danger, Liao Team to Xinchang Anshan has also been renovated and completed.

After Ji Kang returned to the inner courtyard of the Junhou Mansion, he had just arrived at the door of his mother's courtyard. I saw Wangcai, who had been washed clean, fed round, and grown up a lot, and pounced on Ji Kang and Shi Dang.

When Ji Kang held Wangcai in his arms and felt a lot heavier, he said to Wangcai: "I see that you will be called a dog in the future, don't call a dog." ”

Seeing Wangcai in his arms after sticking out his tongue and licking his hands, and when he was about to lick his face, he hurriedly fell to Shi Kang and entered his mother's courtyard.

I saw my mother standing at the door of the main house, looking at herself with tears in her eyes.

Ji Kang hurriedly took a few steps forward and kowtowed to his mother: "My son also misses his mother." Then he was hugged by his mother.

It was already dark, and Shi Dang continued to talk about what he and his son Ji Kang saw in Anshan in front of his mother.

In the end, it became Shi Kang talking, and Ji Kang, like his mother, became a listening role.

"Niangniang, you don't know, the bellows made by Gongzi in Anshan made the blacksmith Ding Dajiang cry, and even shouted that this is the artifact of their blacksmith to make iron."

"Wow!" Qingzhu and Qingmei next to him shouted in cooperation, and their mother smiled.

"Want Want," Wang Cai also shouted happily beside him.

……

"There is also a son who built a workshop called the 'cement factory' in Anshan, mashed several kinds of stones, mixed them with water, and then dried them with fire, and it turned out to be the thing called cement.

Then spread it on the road, cover it with a straw curtain, and when it is dry, the ground will become a flat piece. The general Shi Yong also cried, saying that no one could break through the city wall with this cement! ”

"Wow!" Qingzhu and Qingmei continued, while the mother continued to smile.

And Ji Kang could only shake his head helplessly.

……

"Kang'er, listen to what you mean, you will go to Anshan Villa often in the future?"

Seeing his mother asking like this, Ji Kang replied: "Yes, mother, Anshan Villa is very important to me and to Liaodi. I'm going to go more often in the future. ”

"Then, next time I'll go with you for my mother. Many of the craftsmen there were brought from Zhao by my mother, and I also want to go and see them and see if their lives are good? ”

Ji Kang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, okay, mother." Next time, your son will accompany you. ”

……

The next day, Ji Kang finished breakfast and came to the secretary's pavilion in the outer courtyard. I saw Jun Xiangju Xin, the Minister of War Doctor Bo Wang, and the Ministry of Commerce Doctor Su Qing.

Xiaoxiao stopped the three of them from bowing, walked to his main chair and sat down, and said:

"It's been a hard time!"

"The son works hard, and the ministers dare not be it." The three of them hurriedly stood up and replied.

Ji Kang continued to wave his little hand and said, "It's all your own people, you're welcome." In the play, on the way back to Xiangping, I saw people plowing the fields with zigzag plows along the way.

I also asked a few peasant households, and they all said that the government had already sent the quyuan plough to each village and household. It can be seen from this that all counties and counties have strictly implemented the instructions of the prime minister's government, but they must strictly supervise and not slacken. ”

Ju Xin stood up and said: "Son, there are also those who are sloppy and do not carry out, and the people sent by the Supervision Yuan to various counties and counties have found out several times, mainly because some township chiefs and gentry do not cooperate and do not implement them in place.

As a result, the government dealt with a few cases strictly, and it was much better. ”

Ji Kang frowned and said, "The government decree can't reach the township, li, and village, which is a common problem in Yan Kingdom. Most of these grassroots officials below the township level were held by the gentry. Some people only consider their own interests and ignore the interests of the whole, which is not good. ”

"In the drama, it seems that the current policy of making disabled and retired sergeants with better execution ability serve as the new township chief after being evaluated, and it is also necessary.

It doesn't matter if you don't have culture, as long as you have good moral character and can resolutely carry out the tasks assigned by your superiors. After the completion of the academy, literacy training can be carried out step by step. ”

"No."

And Bo Wang, who was sitting on the other side, stood up: "Your Excellency, thank you for taking care of the sergeant." In this crackdown on bandits, 241 sergeants were killed in Liaodong County, and 252 were killed in Liaoxi County.

In accordance with the order of the son, all have been buried in the two cemeteries of Xiangping and Yangle, and are now carving a monument. Many disabled sergeants have also been placed in newly built villages to serve as township chiefs and lieutenant chiefs. The lowly ones are here to kowtow to you on behalf of the sergeants. ”

After that, he couldn't help but say, so he crawled on the ground and kowtowed to Ji Kang three times.

Ji Kang hurriedly got up and walked down the attic steps, stretched out his little hand to support Bo Wang, whose eyes were red, and said: "The general doesn't have to be like this, this is what these soldiers who died and wounded for the country deserve, and I also want to represent the people of Liaodi, thank you soldiers, and return a sunny day to the people of Liaodi." ”

"We also have to sacrifice these soldiers who died in battle every year during Qingming and at the end of the year. Let them know in the spirit of heaven that they who shed blood and sacrificed for this land will not be forgotten by the people of this land for thousands of years. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Ji Xin and Su Qing also had red eyes.

After appeasing Bo Wang, he said to Su Qing, who was sitting at the bottom: "You received the letter I gave you in Anshan, right?" How's the wool harvested? ”。

"Childe, the Ministry of Commerce has obeyed your orders and asked the merchants to buy wool, and it has accumulated a lot."

As he spoke, Su Qing's eyes flashed with excitement: "Childe, the 'loom' thing you mentioned in your letter can weave linen cloth and weave cloth with wool. Childe, is this true? ”

"What?" Before Su Qing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Xin and Bo Wang standing up.

Ji Kang looked at the shocked expressions of Ji Xin and Bo Wang. Shi Dang, who was standing next to him, snickering, said, "Let people go to the inner courtyard and take out the two pieces of cloth that have been made and show them to a few adults." ”

"No."

Shi Dang took two attendants and hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard.

After a while, a few people in the secretary's cabinet who were talking about other matters saw two attendants behind Shi Kang walking in with a long roll of cloth in their hands.

One of the rolls of cloth was obviously linen. But the other roll is a little yellowish white, which is probably the cloth woven from the wool that Su Qing said just now.

Ji Kang said to a few attendants: "Open it and let a few adults take a look." ”

Ju Xin and the other three all stood up and stepped forward to the two pieces of cloth. Looking at the open cloth, everyone's face was not only shocked, but also surprised.

Su Qing, a doctor from the Ministry of Commerce, touched the cloth woven from wool, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"Childe, this loom is amazing! Wool can be woven into cloth, and there is no peculiar smell, and it is still so thick. Childe, I don't know how much of this cloth this loom can weave every day? ”

Ji Kang looked at Su Qing and smiled:

"Master Su, these two pieces of cloth are woven from hemp and wool on a loom machine. I won't talk about this linen, but this piece of wool is made of wool, and I call it woollen cloth.

This woolen cloth is thick and processed into clothing, and when you wear it in winter, you will not feel cold. Such a cloth can be woven by a textile machine once a day. ”

Su Qing's eyes shone with a discolored light, and he hurriedly shouted: "Childe, this has to be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce established by my Ministry of Commerce to sell!" Last time, these chairs, tables, etc., didn't make a lot of money. Moreover, in the original Chamber of Commerce, several large merchants in Jidu had to come to Xiangping to expand their stores in Xiangping. If they saw this cloth, they wouldn't have gone crazy! ”。

Jun Xiangju Xin also happily said to Ji Kang:

"Childe, such a uniform linen cloth, such a thick woolen cloth, only our family has it! In particular, wool, the material used for woollen cloth, is now not wanted, but we use this loom to turn it into cloth.

The raw material of this linen cloth is also extremely cheap. With the textile machine made by Childe, it seems that the wish of my Liaodi people to have their clothes will be realized this year! ”。

And Bo Wang looked at Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, like you said, this woolen cloth is warm, so the sergeants don't have to suffer in winter, right?" ”

Ji Kang looked at Ji Xin, Bo Wang, and Su Qing, nodded and said, "Yes, everything we do has only two purposes. First, it can change people's lives.

I was in a village in Pyeongchang, and I heard that there was a family of two adult sisters who had only one set of clothes, and whoever had something to do would wear this set of clothes, and the other one hid in the bedding at home. I heard that my heart is like a knife, and such a farmer will definitely not be the only one in my Liaodi.

Therefore, let the people of Liaodi, everyone can buy a set of clothes that they can wear this year, which is my greatest wish now, and it is also the highest mission of our county officials this year.

The second is to improve the combat effectiveness of the sergeants. As long as the raw materials of hemp and wool are supplied, by this winter, the nearly 40,000 soldiers in Liaodi will not have to be frozen, and the most simple wish of the soldiers is also something we can solve.

What I want to say to you is that it is not a dream for our people to be clothed and fed, so that our soldiers will no longer be frozen. As long as we work hard and do it this year, this wish will definitely come true by the end of the year. ”

Bo Wang, a person who is usually very steady, also said excitedly at this time: "The heart of the son who loves the people and soldiers really moves a certain general." Childe, please rest assured, there is no wool, a certain general is willing to lead the army to the Xiongnu, Donghu and other countries, and will get enough wool for my Liaodi. ”

Ji Kang was stunned for a moment, I didn't let you use troops externally!

He shook his head at Bo Wang and said, "General Bo, without my permission, you must not start a war lightly." A trading market can be established on the border with Donghu and Goguryeo, and we buy their wool. ”

Then he turned to the three of them, regardless of whether they could understand or not, and said: "I have already designated a radius of ten miles around Anshan Villa as a military control area. This 10-mile radius is what I call an industrial zone.

A separate area was set aside to build a textile workshop, and in the future we called such workshops "factories", and this one that used a textile machine to spin cloth was called a textile factory in the future. In the future, there will be steel mills, cement factories, paper mills, wood factories, quilt factories, weapons factories, glass factories and so on. ”

"Let's take it one step at a time, let's build it up first. By the time I arrived, the carpentry factory had been simply set up. The wooden factory is divided into several different workshops, according to the assembly line operation, each carpenter only knows how to make one component, and all the components are finally assembled in the assembly workshop, and the assembly workshop is also divided into several work areas. Now we are stepping up the production of looms. ”

"I still plan to use the Chamber of Commerce model for this textile factory. Su Qing, just like in the grain chamber of commerce, my mother and I used this technology to account for two percent of the shares; I plan to let the officials above the county order be distributed according to their positions; The other four dealers will let these merchants buy.

The usual management of the Chamber of Commerce is managed by the Ministry of Commerce on behalf of me and officials at all levels, and dividends will be distributed at the end of the year. ”

"I still say the same thing, everything we do now must start from the people's food and clothing, and strive to make the people of Liaodi live a better life."

Ju Xin and the other three all stood up and bowed together: "No." ”
