Zhou Zhi'an led the oxen close to the side of the road and let a group of prisoners with their hands tied pass.

He counted on his fingers for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction. Yes, there are more than 100 people in this team, and there are a lot of strong laborers, all of whom were sent from Dongshengzhou.

Zhou Zhi'an felt that those exquisite furniture seemed to be a little closer to him. What a table and chairs, I really want to sit again. And the wine that the princess man drank for everyone was also too beautiful.

It's beautiful!

He really wanted to be a representative again and go to Wujiazhuang for a drink. In order to achieve this goal, after Zhou Zhi'an returned to Yongbyon, he was full of enthusiasm for work. used to work hard for his own family, but now he is doing whatever work is assigned above, and he is desperately completing it.

After Wujiazhuang opened his eyes, Zhou Zhi'an's heart was also big and wild.

What is this small place in Yongbyon, if you want to live well, you have to go to Wujiazhuang. I don't necessarily can't go by myself, I think I'm also working over there.

This kind of situation did not happen to Zhou Zhi'an alone, almost all the deputies seemed to be a different person after returning from Wujiazhuang, which made Yongbian's work status immediately go up a few steps.

The subjective initiative of the grassroots has been thoroughly mobilized. Once their enthusiasm for work explodes, the speed and quality of completing tasks have been greatly improved.

Zhe Keqiu obviously felt this, so he admired Qin Mu's plan to elect a representative to the meeting, and he threw himself to the ground - his brother-in-law's head is really long.

In this way, the plan for this year's spring ploughing is guaranteed.

Zhou Zhian went to cultivate the land outside the city.

He now has a cow, but he didn't buy it, but rented it.

The team that robbed people didn't just grab people, they brought back all the things that were counted as supplies according to the above requirements. Livestock is of course an important commodity, so now there are enough cattle in Yongbyon.

However, it is impossible for most people to afford cattle, and they are all rented.

With a cow, the efficiency of the work has been improved too much - Zhou Zhi'an's family of three together can't do more than a cow.

Therefore, Zhou Zhian rented some more land. This is all newly opened land, not for crops, but for cotton.

What is cotton, Zhou Zhian has never seen the real thing, but he has seen paintings.

Qin Mu created a painting about cotton, which was hung on the notice board in front of the yamen.

This is a very strange painting, not only the real cotton seeds, cotton seedlings, cotton fruits, and flowering cotton, but also cotton products, such as cotton cloth. And in order to emphasize the effect, Qin Mu also spent an exaggerated 100-mile cotton field as a ignition point for the painters.

Of course, anyone who sees this endless cotton field will like it, with white flowers and flowers, and people who look at it are dizzy.

But Zhou Zhi'an is not dizzy, he feels much more deeply than those farmers, he has never seen real cotton, but he has a white towel.

Young Master Qin said, this is what cotton is made of.

This towel is so easy to use. Wiping your face and sweat is simply uncomfortable.

Most of the delegates hid their towels at home and were reluctant to use them, but Zhou Zhian would not do that.

He knew that Young Master Qin would make a lot of towels in the future, and he would never run out of stock—wasn't that much cotton prepared by Young Master Qin to make towels?

And Zhou Zhi'an has seen and sat in new furniture, and he knows what is better. The furniture was all in his plans, and a towel was nothing.

So although he cherishes the towel, he will not give it up.

Instead, he carries a towel with him every day when he goes out. Not only did he carry it, but he also wrapped a towel around his head, with the side of the words facing outward, so that everyone could see it.

"Commemoration of the Wujiazhuang Congress".

Young Master Qin sent it, of course, he had to bring it out.

Zhou Zhian used the red rope that tied the award certificate as a belt, and hung the enamel cup around his waist. If it weren't for the fact that the enamel washbasin was a bit big and didn't look good on the top of his head, he would have been ready to bring the washbasin out as well.

Now everyone knows that he is a peasant representative, a man who has been to Wujiazhuang and seen the princess.

This is a person who has spoken to the princess man - Zhou Zhian boasted that he was talking and laughing with Young Master Qin when he was fine, which made people look at him with too much reverence.

If Qin Mu knew Zhou Zhi'an's appearance, he would definitely not laugh at him for bragging, but he would definitely be taken aback by him.

White lamb's belly hand towel and red belt, this is the iconic dress of later generations of men in northern Shaanxi.

There is no cotton cloth in this time and space, so it is even more impossible to have a white sheep's belly hand towel.

But this dress actually appeared in this time and space - Zhou Zhian was wrapped in such a white towel on his head and wrapped in such a red rope around his waist, which was exactly the same as the men of northern Shaanxi in later generations.

Could it be that the white sheep's belly handkerchief wrapped around the head and the red belt wrapped around the waist in later generations was created from Zhou Zhi'an's popularity? This is truly a precedent!

Zhou Zhian naturally didn't know that he had become the originator of the male style in northern Shaanxi, and he had already established a family. He just just enjoyed it.

He is the director, or the deputy. Now the villagers call him, some call him "Director Zhou", and some call him "Representative Zhou".

But neither of these titles, Zhou Zhi'an was satisfied.

He hoped that everyone would call him "Director Zhou", or "Director Zhou". If you want to call people all, how can you save half?

However, five words is indeed too long, and the villagers are not interested in this, so he can only be the director of Zhou for a while, and the representative of Zhou for a while.

Although he became a representative and had a cow, Zhou Zhian still regretted it very much. He was greatly shocked in Wujiazhuang, not only those furniture, fine wine, but more importantly, he knew one thing, the yield of this crop field could rise by ten times, twenty times, one hundred times, as long as there was that fertilizer - he subconsciously exaggerated the figure given by Qin Mu.

Young Master Qin said, that fertilizer is the elixir for farming, and when there is a steel mill, there will be an elixir. This makes Zhou Zhian often miss a man - Wulu.

Wu Dalang, you have to work hard, hurry up and build a steel mill so that I can make fertilizer.

Wu Lu was more anxious than Zhou Zhi'an, so he almost cried anxiously. Because he can't read, he always has the lowest grades in the class.

If it weren't for his honest personality, hard work, and skillful hands, Ma Qing would have returned him to the coal mine.

Now that the construction of the steel plant is so intense, he really doesn't have time to teach his disciples to read and write. You take the time to learn on your own, and during class time, you can learn professional knowledge from me.

This expertise is not all about building a steel plant, but more about the pre-technology of the steel plant.

For example, refractory bricks, without this thing, you can't build a blast furnace.

Another example is liners, which also require good steel, but now he doesn't have that much steel in his hands.

Without steel there is no blast furnace, and without a blast furnace there is no steel, it's literally an endless loop, so new variables can only be introduced.

So for so many days, Ma Qing led the steelworkers mainly to make preliminary preparations, using the existing technology to adopt the small blast furnace steelmaking technology of this time and space.

However, because he understood the principle of steelmaking, as well as coke and various technological means from later generations, the steel made by Chief Engineer Ma from the earth blast furnace has exceeded the time and space by many times.

He and Wu Xiaomei are the two busiest people in Weishanhu Industrial Base, and even Wu Xiaomei and Ma Qing did not return to Wujiazhuang during the Chinese New Year, and have been working on the construction site.

Qin Mu used the precious cabinet space to bring back several machine tools and diesel generators for the two of them.

With these epoch-making tools, the industrial manufacturing capacity of the two of them soared like a rocket.

They quickly surpassed Qin Mu's technology - after all, Qin Mu was engaged in computers, not machine tools.

With modern machine tools, the quality of the Venus steam engine has been greatly improved – because the cylinders are bored, which essentially improves the tightness of the cylinders.

Taking apprentices to work during the day and rebuilding steam engines at night, Ma Qing and Wu Xiaomei have lost a lot of weight, but both of them are in high spirits. They all understand that a new world is being built under their hands.

This made Qin Mu very moved, so he decided to give the two of them a wonderful gift.

For a while, it was all thanks to the two chief engineers on the top of Weishan Lake, so that the overall progress of the steel plant did not stagnate.

Qin Mu should have come over a long time ago, but for the time being, he really couldn't come, and if the raw material problem of the steel plant was not solved, even if it was established, there would be no way to ignite it.

The iron ore of Li Guojian must greatly increase its output. But now all kinds of troubles in that place have not been straightened out, although Fang Haoyin and Zhe Meifeng are in charge of Li Guojian, but they can't open up.

There are two people in Li Guojian, at most, the Zhang family will not dare to do it easily, but if you want to organize manpower to develop it on a large scale, where can you find people?

The entire Li Guojian belongs to the Zhang family and the Xiang family, although the Xiang family is dead now, but the Zhang family does not.

Not only did they not die, but Zhang Guo brought back a large number of Taoists from Longhu Mountain, which greatly enriched the strength of the Zhang family.

Not only did these Taoists not have the slightest immortal wind and bones, but they were all alive and like livestock. Fang Haoyin and Zhe Meifeng understood at a glance that this was a Taoist priest, this was the Zhang family's private army.

This news made Qin Mu have to pay attention to it.

I didn't expect that there was such a group of people under Zhang Tianshi's hands.

First there was Zhang Xun's return, which caused huge trouble to himself, and now there is Zhang Guozhengyi, what is this family surnamed Zhang going to do?

In fact, you don't have to think about it to know that this is going to rebel - at least you have the intention of rebellion, otherwise why would you make so many quasi-soldiers.

Above the court, above the rivers and lakes, there was smoke everywhere, so that Qin Mu didn't know which one to take care of for a while.

Li Gang ruthlessly participated in the folding of the family in the court. This time is different from the last time, Zhao Ji is obviously moved.

Although Zhao Ji didn't dare to ask to enter Beijing regardless of the folds, he sent a person down.

The eunuch Li Yan, the head of the inner garden, Zhao Ji asked him to raise the Xicheng Institute and take charge of the public land in the world.

Of course, Zhao Ji didn't do it so naked, and asked Li Yan to check the fold house, but used a good excuse.

The Jin and Song dynasties joined forces to destroy the Liao State, and according to the agreement of the Maritime Alliance, the Jin State wanted to hand over six of the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty.

But after the war, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was useless, and in the end, all the cities were taken away by the Jin people.

According to the covenant, this should belong to the Great Song, if you don't give it to me, I can't grab it, what should I do?

So I had to buy it.

Jin Guo first sold a Youzhou to the Great Song Dynasty. They originally thought that selling hundreds of thousands of dollars would be considered a fortune, but they didn't want to run to Xiang Fa to find the fourth prince, and then they saw Wanyan Aguta, and took the initiative to sell Song Guo.

Five million times! So much money has bothered Jin Guo's appetite at once.

The remaining few cities cannot be less than this price!

This really drove Zhao Ji to death, where to find so much money? Borrow again? What to take as collateral? You can't mortgage the throne to the Xiang family.

Finally, Youzhou has already bought it, and those few can be discussed slowly.

Now it's time to get the money. So Zhao Ji promoted Li Yan and asked him to tidy up the fields.

Zhao Ji's purpose was not to get some land to grow crops - there was a little money, and he wanted to sell the land directly.

After so many years of various buying and selling of the land, the land deed was very chaotic. It was this land that Li Bangyan forcibly seized.

Now Zhao Ji is also ready to play such a hand.

Li Yan was in charge of Xicheng in order to grab land and sell it for money.

This is a very fair and honest reason.

Rectifying the land deeds is a matter of the country, and all the ministers understand the meaning of the officials. Didn't they sell us the land when they grabbed it, so they unanimously approved the official family's will.

Even Li Gang didn't object to this matter - his level was not enough to oppose it. And he also thinks that the fields should be put in order, and they should not be messed up anymore.

When Li Yan took office, he immediately arranged for capable cadres to go to all parts of the country to start a large-scale rectification of public fields.

And he himself went to Fuzhou in person.

Li Yan, the head of the inner garden, wants to completely touch the old bottom of the family for the emperor!
