Chu Tianxiu has been soft in the past few days.

Li Rong, who was the Taiwei, the King of Ping, and his father-in-law, handed him all the paper, printing, and other things needed for the "Taiwei's Mansion Newspaper".

The officials of the Taiwei Mansion were only responsible for the content of the newspaper.

Write about ordnance and weapons, the military dynamics of the countries in the world, and the contributions and comments of civilian military enthusiasts, and a decent "Taiwei Mansion Newspaper" will be released.

This is a long-term business, and for the first three months alone, Chu Tianxiu received 10,000 taels of silver from the Taiwei Mansion.

However, before the heat was covered in his hand, the silver was sent to Danyang County again, and the county Cheng Li Dangnian continued to use ten earthen blast furnaces.

A total of 30,000 taels of silver were invested, and a total of 30 new earthen blast furnaces were invested. It has stimulated the employment and income of a large number of civil carpenters.

This batch of soil blast furnaces can directly produce high-quality fried steel.

At least a thousand blacksmiths can be hired to make steel day and night.

Iron smelting is already the largest industry in Danyang County.

With a daily output of three tons of steel, hundreds of large and small agricultural tools and household ironware such as "large curved plows, sowing cocoons, hoes, axes, machetes, shovels, hammers, heavy hammers, mountain hammers, kitchen knives" are created every day.

Many of the farm tools in this are new farm tools invented by Chu Tianxiu directly and by hand.

With the improvement of the quality of steel, it is already possible to create larger, stronger, and more efficient farming tools. It is naturally not suitable to use old-fashioned farm tools.

It only takes one or two months for every household in Danyang County to fully popularize steel farming tools.

Even if the extremely poor households in the county can't afford expensive steel farming tools, it doesn't matter.

If you can't afford it, rent it.

Let them rent it back and plough the land first.

With these hard and efficient steel farming tools, the efficiency of arable land in the entire Danyang County has been greatly increased, and the ground has been dug deeper.

Even the inferior and wasteland that no one cared about had poor farmers to cultivate the fields. If you can produce a little more food, you will be able to fill your stomach a little more in the next season.

In the entire Danyang County, nearly three to four percent of the cultivated land has skyrocketed!

What a terrifying and shocking concept.

Although much of the new land is inferior and wasteland, which is not fertile enough, coupled with the deep cultivation of fertile land, grain output has increased by at least 30 percent.

The more grain you produce, the more babies you can feed next year.

Increase arable land!

Increase food!

Increase the population!

In addition, the construction of blast furnaces to make steel and produce agricultural tools brought in new tax revenues.

These are all naked achievements!

If Danyang County does not dominate the big test of Dachu County, it will be unreasonable.

Li Kangnian excitedly wrote a letter to Chu Tianxiu to report the explosion of cultivated land in Danyang County.

Chu Tianxiu was not surprised, this was all in his expectation.

He was very happy, most of the profits from this big steel smelting were in his hands, and even the taxes in Danyang County were too much, all of which went into the pocket of his wife, Li Yu, the lord of Danyang County.

It's like a big pixiu, it can't be swallowed, and you don't have to pay a penny of taxes to the court, which is really not ordinary.

A prince with a fief is so cool.

It is no wonder that so many court officials want to be ranked as the third prince and worship the prime minister.

Chu Tianxiu replied and explained, asking Li Kangnian to pay close attention to the production of Ma'an Mine and use a large number of stronger Kaishan hammers to ensure the supply of iron ore.

After satisfying the needs of Danyang County, you can start to sell farm tools to other counties and more than 20 counties in Danyang County.

In local trade, the market is too small to make a lot of money.

Only long-distance trade, selling steel and farm tools to other counties and counties, the whole of Dachu, the market is at least a thousand times larger, this can make you rich.

Li Kangnian, this county is full of energy.

Among the thirty earthen blast furnaces, twenty-seven were owned by the county lord and his uncle.

One of them belonged to his county.

There is one that my uncle rewarded the county lieutenants, wardens, officials, soldiers and other small officials in the county seat to improve their welfare and let them use more snacks.

There is also one that is used as a reward for blacksmiths.

My uncle eats meat, and he drinks a mouthful of thick fragrant broth.

...

The money of the Taiwei's Mansion was collected.

However, the Prime Minister's Mansion, which represents the power of the gate lords and nobles, and the Yushitai side of the Confucian faction, are still in the period Ai Ai, stubbornly struggling to resist, finding skilled craftsmen to carve and print by themselves, and refusing to bow to Chu Tianxiu.

Chu Tianxiu can also understand the thoughts of Prime Minister Xie and Master Kong.

If they handed over the "Prime Minister's Mansion Newspaper" and "Yushi Taidi Newspaper" to him, Xiao Duhou would have known everything he wanted to scold in advance.

It is equivalent to the early leakage of intelligence.

How can this be cursed?

This also proves on the contrary that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historical Observatory are still crowding out themselves, and they are ready to open their mouths to scold him at any time!

Otherwise, why didn't they learn from the Taiwei Mansion and hand over the "Di Bao" to their own printing house, the only printing house in Dachu, to print it.

Hum!

Chu Tianxiu saw through the flowery intestines of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yushitai at a glance, and he was holding back his strength to fight with himself.

But he's not in a hurry.

Whoever is in a hurry knows.

By the time they have figured out movable type printing, I'm afraid their hair will be gray.

...

this day.

A mysterious man wearing a hat and a cloak came to the Pingwang Mansion and asked to visit the Marquis of Xiaodu.

The guard took this person to Yuyuan's study and saw Xiao Duhou.

took off the hat, and the person who came was Dong Xianliang.

"Hey, why is Brother Dong here?"

Chu Tianxiu was writing a manuscript, stopped his pen, and said with a smile: "You took office in Moling County, how is the situation?" ”

"The people of Moling County are simple and simple, and it is quite easy to govern. However, the governance of districts and counties is just a gesture of strength, and it is not worth mentioning. Little Marquis, the younger brother has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this is a big matter to discuss. ”

Dong Xianliang bowed and said with a smile.

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Chu Tianxiu asked.

The imperial historian Kong Hanyou has a big shelf, and it is difficult to come forward. Most of them sent their disciple Dong Xianliang to be a lobbyist.

"Today's Great Chu, the gate lord and nobleman monopolize the road of recommendation, and the court officials look up, and they are all high-ranking scholars. Poor students have no way to enter the court. The world's Confucian scholars, talented people, have been working hard for a long time!

His Majesty the Emperor has long had the intention of breaking the New Year's move, and ordered me to play a recital to criticize the New Year's move and get rid of the old evils. Dong is here, looking forward to inviting the little marquis to be an alliance and support! ”

Dong Xianliang bowed his hand again, and said sincerely.

He didn't come to invite Xiao Duhou to join the same party of the Confucian faction, but to hope to form an alliance with Xiao Duhou!

There is still a difference between the same party and the alliance.

The same party, like-minded members of the party, aspire to be political enemies.

In the case of an alliance, if the interests coincide, it will be an alliance, and if the interests do not coincide, the alliance will be dissolved. Even if the ambitions are different, even if they are political enemies, it does not prevent a short-term alliance.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but groan.

Dong Xianliang is not for Di Bao, but actually looking for him to form an alliance to provide fire support for the overthrow of the "year-old system", which is a bit unexpected.

Chu Tianxiu said curiously: "Are you here on behalf of yourself, or on behalf of your master Master Kong, or on behalf of the entire Confucian?"

Before you speak, be sure to think clearly. The identity of your representative is different, and the price of inviting me to be an alliance is different. I have always talked about credibility, clearly marked the price, and the child was not bullied. How much you pay me, how much I can do for you. ”

Dong Xianliang was instantly embarrassed, and his face was flushed.

As soon as Xiao Duhou opened his mouth, it was the price... That's too naked!

The blood boiling and righteous rhetoric he had prepared was so great that he couldn't continue.

"Which... This, I don't know, what price does the little marquis offer? I'm going to think about who I want to represent! ”
