At the end of March, passing through Xianxi, King Xian drove through Beihai County, and the first stop was to inspect Guangxin City, and saw Jiang Min, the Duke of Guangxin, who had not entered the court for many years. The two have been political enemies of each other for many years, and now they are both gray-haired old men, perhaps neither of them thought that their fate was firmly tied to Bailiyan from the beginning.

King Xian stayed in Guangxin for four days, inspected Guangxin and Guangxin Fortress in the first two days, boarded a 20,000-stone battleship to observe the rapid fire of improved naval guns, and conducted a naval parade.

In view of the threat from the sea, the upgrading and transformation of the 645 artillery of the Xianjun Army gave priority to the upgrading of naval guns, and the improvement of army artillery was suspended, and at the same time, the design and demonstration of a new generation of series of artillery guns began to meet the needs of war under the new situation.

In the next two days, King Xian and Jiang Min talked alone for two days, and no one knew what they talked about. But afterwards, Bai Liyan deduced from the analysis of the storm that Jiang Min and Jiang Hai were both satisfied with this conversation, which meant that the two had an old grudge, and King Xian was making final preparations for the transfer of power.

After leaving Guangxin, King Xian heard that Zhang Jun's second son, Zhang, did not learn how to marry a wife, and there were more than his own concubines, so he immediately rushed to Dingyang to inspect.

When Zhang heard that King Xian was coming, he immediately rolled up his cover and prepared to flee to the king's family for refuge, but was arrested by Jiao Muhua with the forbidden army and the car.

On 11 April, King Xian went to Lincheng to inspect chemical production, and was immediately taken aback when he learned that the latest gunpowder of the Xian army was made of cotton and hemp silk.

On April 13, Wang drove out of Lincheng and continued to inspect all parts of Beihai County in the east, and entered Dongyuan on April 19, and went straight to the Dongdong crude oil field and petrochemical refinery to inspect the black oil that had caused the Xianjun to suffer a lot.

After the last eight years of exploration, Xianguo has discovered a large number of mineral deposits, including oil resources. There is a large area of oil underground in the southwest of Dongwon-gun, and there is also abundant oil in the coastal waters of Dongwon-gun, and more natural resources and treasures will be discovered in the future as technology advances and the territory is unified.

Due to the arrangement of the itinerary, Luhou and Xuanting waited in Dongyuan County early in the morning to pick up the car, and at this time Bailiyan found out that the Xianwang was nominally out on patrol, but in the end it was the Yanxiao and Xuantinghou forces.

King Xian successively held reception banquets in Xuanting City and Lucheng to entertain the salt lord and the financial party.

Yanxiao has always been the largest force in Dongyuan County, after Xuanting Hou switched from the sugar industry to the economic finance, the financial resources obviously overpowered Luhou, but the chemical industry controlled by Luhou controlled the Xianguo arms and industrial primary raw materials, plus Bailiyan's industrial chain, connections and technology, the three essentially formed the highest form of capital class.

King Xian also saw this, and used this tour to convene the three major forces to consolidate the blood alliance to protect the political status of the Jiang family.

Maybe it's a mistake, Bai Liyan's marriage with Jiang Rong at the beginning has given Jiang Hai an extra insurance today, and Yan Xiao will always be Jiang's political ally, no matter how civil strife Xianguo is, Bai Liyan can only choose to support Jiang as king in the end, Jiang Hai's life pursuit was finally realized at the last moment of his life.

Leaving Lucheng, King Xian inspected the shipyard of Dongyuan County, which is a shipyard built completely with the money of Liang State, after five years of construction, the scale is no less than the Guangxin Shipyard, dozens of rebuilt ships of various types on the slipway tell the glory of tomorrow, King Xian excitedly boarded a Wanshi merchant ship that had just been launched to cross the river to Jiangdong County to continue the inspection.

The two counties of Jiangdong and Suidang are not as good as the two counties of Dongyuan and Beihai, and the two counties of Dongyuan and Beihai are controlled by Guangxin, Dingyang, Luhou, and Xuanting all the year round, and the four are the forces of Xianwang or Bailiyan, and there is little resistance to reform, so the economic transformation of land reform has been carried out relatively smoothly.

The vigorous development of the economy of Xianguo has fueled the collusion between the powerful forces and the local tyrants, and the local tyrants are growing stronger and stronger, and the ambitions of the local commercial capital forces to interfere in local politics under the instigation and sale of the Jin State are expanding day by day, so the changes in the two counties of Jiangdong and Suidang are not thorough, and the resistance has been great.

After crossing the river, King Xian first inspected Feicheng and Yin Yang, although Yin Yang was the fief of Fang Bo, but only the right to use the city was his, and the people in the city and the surrounding land were still under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. Wang Jia asked as he walked, and Bai Liyan finally understood the intention of King Xian to come to Jiangdong.

Different from the previous inspection of the counties, every place will stay in the town to observe the people's feelings, this time the king of Xian went to the battlefield where Bailiyan and Zhao Xun fought, the king of Xian carefully inquired about the scene of the battle that year, and looked at the battlefield that still exists to this day and the cemetery of the soldiers of the two armies.

The tragedy of the first battle of Duyang City made Bailiyan unforgettable, King Xian worshiped and swept the tomb in the tomb of the Xianjun army, and ordered to build a cemetery outside Duyang City to commemorate the soldiers who died 30 years ago.

Before leaving Jiangdong, the king of Xian finally inspected the Lingshan silver mine, nearly ten years of mining to make the Lingshan silver mine become the largest source of precious metals in addition to the trade income of the Xian country, successive excavation and technological progress, the Lingshan silver mine now not only mining silver, but also producing nickel, tin, aluminum, lead, nitrate, molybdenum, sulfur and other minerals, has become a veritable treasure trove.

After seeing the bad situation of the Jiangdong Reform, King Xian had no interest in Suidang County, but he still had to make some movement, King Xian transferred 40,000 garrisons from the Lingshan Silver Mine, temporarily blocked the Wangqin River, set up a pontoon bridge on the river, and drove to Suidang County.

Qing Xijun and others, who learned the news, were so frightened that they hurried back to their hometown overnight to wipe their buttocks, coping with the arrival of King Xian, for fear that the coming good day would be ruined by King Xian.

The situation of Suidang County ranks at the end of the counties of Xianguo, there is almost nothing worse than it, the local heroes and strong are lined up with extremely poor public security, there are many things to fight for the territory in three days, because the south of Suidang is the land and water of Jin, Zhi, and Xian, and the land junction place, the economic status is not inferior to Ganfu, so the port and road administration are all fat, and there are not a few forces who fight fiercely for the sake of interests.

The relationship between the nobles and the powerful is still like this, and the relationship between the nobles and the local people is even worse, so many people have either fled or gone to other counties in various ways to make a living, and after the population flow is liberalized, this phenomenon is even more ordinary.

As a result, the local population was hollowed out, food and agriculture were hollowed out, and peasants who had been deprived of their land by the powerful moved to other places to farm, and even worked more than they earned in the local area, and they could also get government household registration and a stable life.

As a result, the economy of Suidang County has gradually changed from the traditional grain cultivation to an economic model based on the cultivation of cotton, soybeans, tung oil, rapeseed, livestock breeding and other economic crops and entrepot trade, supplemented by small workshop production.

This economic model is more conducive to the powerful and powerful to obtain benefits, but it cannot stabilize the local civilian class, in a sense, this is already a disguised capital enclosure movement, what to make money, completely ignoring social stability and economic supply and demand.

The inspection of Suidang County lasted for 12 days, at the end of May, Wang drove away from Suidang and returned to the eastern county of Dujun, and King Xian inspected Wuping, Ruitian, Xuanyun, and Yongxing again, focusing on the inspection of new industries such as locomotives, automobiles, internal combustion engines, and machinery and textiles, and reviewed the shooting report performance of the latest automated and semi-automatic weapons in the armed battalion.

In mid-June, at the request of the King of Xian, the palace and the main department-level yamen of the Lingling were connected on the telephone, and in early July, the King of Xian inspected Wuping again to watch the harvesters harvest rice, and nearly 100 fully automated harvesters harvested tens of thousands of acres of land in one day. The efficiency is so high, the speed is so fast, reaching an unprecedented speed, the use of threshers makes the complicated and inefficient rice threshing easy and fast, Xianwang is deeply aware that the times are different.

In July, Bailiyan organized the expansion of the work in Xuanyun, expanding the military battalion from 12,000 to 18,000, Xuanyun established a military academy with an establishment of 12,000 people, and the Yongxing armed battalion with 5,000 personnel.

At the same time, the railway corps was established, with a post of 100,000 people. By the end of June, more than 800 medium-sized trucks, all produced, had been transferred to the railway corps to transport rail sleepers to promote the laying of the railway.

In the same month, the construction of the second phase of the East Crude Oil Field began, Yongxing Depot and Electric Workshop expanded production, and the second phase of the project was started, and Yongxing and Shuyang each invested two improved bullet shell production lines, and the supply of guns and ammunition reached 40 million rounds per year for one shift and 130 million rounds for three shifts.

On the third day of September, the Yongxing Hou Mansion was happy, and Bailiyan teased his grandson Gongliangren with joy.

"Rong'er, look at it, this little mouth doesn't look like you."

"Like, like it......"

Jiang Rong couldn't close her mouth happily, coaxing Gongliangren to be full of joy.

At this time, Thyme answered:

"Mother, Sister Lin'er is also pregnant, and in a few days, Niang and Erniang will let Sister Lin'er rest and raise the baby."

"Yes, Lin'er's girl is dexterous, she is thousands of miles away from Xianguo, you have to let more people do a big house, don't take advantage of it yourself, this is not good, beware of hurting your body."

"Mother, look what you say."

Thyme covered her face in shame, and the women laughed when they saw this. The next moment, Jiang Rong said again:

"By the way, my in-laws should be almost here, hurry up and call someone to take a look, why hasn't Lin'er's girl returned yet."

"Got it, mother."

After a while, Xu Yu came to report:

"The Marquis and Mrs. Qiqi, the aunt and the in-laws have arrived."

"Oh, come with me."

"No."

The rapid development of Xianguo has caused great repercussions in the Central Plains, and the princes of various countries have sent envoys hoping to learn the advanced technology of Xianguo, but without exception, they have all been rejected by Bailiyan for various reasons, and only continue to deepen cooperation in the fields of trade, agriculture, and health, and improve the quality of people's livelihood and population in the Central Plains, and advanced science and technology are not given.

Gongliang Xiu came here to visit his children and grandchildren in the name, but in fact he still came for advanced technology and arms.
