In the world, there is no escape from birth, old age, sickness and death, there are old and infirm people who die, and countless new lives are born.

With the vigorous development of Daqin's economy, Qinghe Town, as the place where Chen Xu made his fortune, is the leader in the development of towns and villages in the country.

Qinghe Town's reputation is not only because of Chen Xu, but also because of the thriving industry and commerce here.

In addition to grain, the annual output value of porcelain, tea, papermaking, winemaking, woodworking, candy and other workshops in Qinghe Town has reached more than 6 million yuan, which is more than the annual tax revenue of the entire Pheasant County.

At present, the whole town has gathered more than 2,000 households, more than 10,000 people, the scale is comparable to the county seat of Pheasant County, a large number of poor people who originally lived in the mountains have also successively responded to the call of the townsmen in the town to move out of the mountains to live in Qinghe Town, many babies born after the Qin and Chu Wars have also reached the age of marriage in the past two years, plus Qinghe Town almost does not collect grain taxes, most families still have people working in a few factories or have the rest of the earning income, and the interest in making people between husband and wife is also very strong under the affluence of life. Therefore, in the past two or three years, the number of newborns in Qinghe Town has increased by seven or eight times compared with the number of deaths.

When Chen Xu came back this time, he saw young women holding babies on their backs all over the street, and some muddy babies of three, four, five or six years old running all over the street.

In the face of so many newlyweds and newborn babies and young children in Qinghe Town, Chen Xu arranged to take out some money from the town's financial income to expand the scale of the health center, and also opened two kindergartens to relieve the pressure of families with children, so that young couples can have enough energy for farming and work, and the nursery fee is three stone of grain per child per year, which is not worth mentioning to the people of Qinghe Town, so Chen Xu's arrangement has won the warm support of the people of Qinghe Town.

Economic development has always been the main goal of Qinghe Town, but to support the continued economic development, in addition to the need for more labor, a large number of intellectuals proficient in writing and calculation are needed, so Chen Xu ordered Qinghe Town to continue to increase financial investment, expand the primary school again, and open a middle school and a girls' school.

The girls' school is Xing'er's request, she returned to live in Qinghe Town, and wanted to teach more people the singing, dancing, art, cutting, embroidery, etc. she learned at Xianyang Women's College.

Several pillar industries in Qinghe Town, such as ceramics, winemaking, tea, papermaking, etc., have developed to the bottleneck stage, ceramics and winemaking are mainly provided to Qinghe stores, and papermaking is mainly white paper and new special paper, the supply object is not the general public, with more and more ceramic winemaking and papermaking industries in various countries, the consumer demand for high-end luxury goods in the market is far less rapid than the growth of the civilian level, and in order to ensure the beautiful environment of Qinghe Town, Chen Xu did not develop steel and cement enterprises with high energy consumption and high pollution, and without the support of heavy industry, the future development of Qinghe Town will inevitably develop towards light industry and service industry, so it is necessary to cultivate more talents with knowledge and culture and skills.

The preparation for the establishment of the girls' school can be seen as a precursor to the transformation of Qinghe Town.

In the future of Daqin, the demand for clothing will be more and more large, and the spread of cutting and embroidery and other skills will have a very large market demand in the future.

Therefore, while opening a girls' school, Chen Xu also asked Niu Dashi to prepare for the opening of a garment factory and an embroidery factory as soon as possible, and also invest in the construction of weaving factories in nearby cities and towns, and begin to develop into a high-end garment industry.

As for the lack of teaching, Chen Xu doesn't have to worry about it, because Xing'er has written to some female classmates in Xianyang, and there are already several replies that plan to come to help, with the help of these like-minded classmates, Qinghe Town Girls' Middle School will soon be on the right track, cutting, sewing, knitting, embroidery and other skills will soon be applied to practice, a few years later, Qinghe Town's clothing will soon be greatly developed, becoming a huge driving force to promote the rapid development of Qinghe Town's economy.

In the midst of the excitement, the wedding of Xing'er and Niu Dashi was held soon, and the new home of the two was in Qinghe Town, which was a luxury house covering more than 30 acres.

For the marriage of his sister, Chen Xu spared no money, transferred craftsmen and craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences, and with the strong support of Liu Tong, the county commander of Pheasant County, this house took half a year to complete, not only the house, stables, swimming pools, etc. are complete, but also the construction of water towers and tap water, so that even if my sister lives in the township, she can still live comfortably and comfortably.

And because of the noble status of Chen Xu's Taishi and Zuo Xiang, the first emperor also arranged for officials from the Ministry of Rites to accompany him to Qinghe Town, not only conferred on Niu Dashi a title of five doctors, but also gave a pair of jade bi and two carts of gifts as congratulatory gifts.

This move not only moved Chen Xu, but also shook Qinghe Town, the entire Pheasant County and even Nanyang County, so on the day of the wedding of Xing'er and Niu Dashi, the Nanyang County Shou and several nearby county commanders came to visit and congratulate in person, and also sent countless congratulatory gifts and called Niu Dashi brothers.

The wedding banquet lasted for three days, looking at his loving sister and Niu Dashi after the wedding, Chen Xu was very emotional, thinking that when he just crossed over, the thin little girl who was poor and malnourished on the four walls of the family would float away as soon as the wind blew, and the current life can be said to have changed dramatically.

And this change, in the final analysis, was driven by him.

But the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard.

In Chen Xu's opinion, the current Daqin is still far from the goal he envisioned.

In the whole of Daqin, only Qinghe Town is so prosperous, and the development of many other places has just begun.

Even in many remote counties and counties, countless ordinary people are still unable to enjoy the dividends of Daqin's reform and development.

The main reason for hindering economic development is traffic blockage and information congestion.

Therefore, the smooth road plan launched this time must be successful.

So on the fourth day after Xing'er got married, Chen Xu interrupted Niu Dashi's happy married life and made a detailed and long-term plan for all the follow-up arrangements in Qinghe Town.

In addition, it is the arrangement of Chen Xu's previous letters.

Two hundred members of the musket team were selected to follow Han Xin, who had returned from Xianyang, to Langya, and accompanied them with a large number of gunpowder grenades, and even eight of the latest Shenwei cannons.

Over the years, Chen Hu and Liu Po have been constantly training the musket team, and almost every year they will recruit more than 100 teenagers to join the training, and the recruitment objects are not only in Pheasant County and Nanyang, but through the Qinghe Town caravan that travels to and from all over the country, the main object is still those homeless beggars or buy some slave children.

After the queue, martial arts, cross-country, musket and some special training formulated by Chen Xu, these children were trained by the first batch of junior musket teams such as Xu Shan and Chen Xia as military attachés, and these teenagers were soon able to reach the state of strict compliance with orders, with some shadows of the army in later generations, and basically met Chen Xu's requirements.

Over the years, Qinghe Town has successively trained about 1,000 musket team members, and the perennial training expenses are also very large, Chen Xu has invested tens of millions of money, in addition to the basic food and accommodation and clothing, the biggest consumption is muskets and ammunition, before and after more than six years, the musket team training has used more than 2,000 guns, and the ammunition used up is even more in tons, but all the investment is worth it, whether it is sent to the East China Sea to follow Yu Wuya and Cao Shen for more than two hundred years, Or he has successively arranged to go to Xianyang for more than 200 years, and now he has selected 200 team members to go to Langya again, the purpose is to follow the 2,000 soldiers to Taiwan, these musketeers who can follow strict military orders are the seeds of the new military innovation of Daqin in the future, and in the future era of great navigation, they will all become a powerful force to protect maritime security.

In order to replenish the damaged firearms and accumulate enough ammunition, Chen Xu had arranged for Qinghe Town to increase the mining of fire and sulfur and the hoarding of sulfur a few years ago, and this time more than 2,000 catties of sulfur brought back by Yu Wuya from Japan were secretly sent back to Qinghe Town, and after Taiwan's training ground was completed, a large number of saltpeter sulfur and other ammunition manufacturing will be moved to Taiwan to be manufactured and replenished locally.

Today's Wolf Valley is no longer a training ground, but a secret arsenal.

Several caves were excavated and countless factories were built inside, not only ammunition processing factories, but also gun manufacturing factories, the craftsmen who made guns were secretly arranged from the Nanshan Palace and the Academy of Sciences factory in Xianyang, and various processing equipment was also secretly transported back through caravans after being built by hemp poles and gongsheng sheng.

Therefore, the current Wild Wolf Valley is not only able to produce ordinary long and short firearms and bulk ammunition, but also can make new rifle pistols and fixed ammunition and new artillery, and is further developing newer firearms and ammunition.

The so-called preparedness, when Chen Xu was still unable to control the fate of Daqin and his future, all the preparations required to be as thorough and complete as possible.

After everything was arranged, it was already the end of May, when Chen Xu was preparing to travel to the south with his family, the first emperor arranged for officials to send Meng Tian's letter of military reform from Xianyang quickly.

In the face of this belated letter of military reform, Chen Xu took out the military reform plan brought back from Xianyang after reading the letter and the letter of the First Emperor, and spent two days to think about it again and found that there was no big problem, so he wrote a letter and sealed it in a wooden box with all the letters and set off to the south, and waited until mid-June to arrange for the box to be sent to Xianyang to the First Emperor.
