In the private room upstairs, Wei Qi said while eating:

"Deputy marshal, let's mobilize the army to conquer more than a dozen counties, and now we don't take any land, and we have to collect slaves and refugees to help, is it too cheap to defend the country."

"In the near future, I didn't take advantage of anything, but ten years later, I will reap the benefits of today's actions, and I should take a longer view, just staring at the stall in front of me and a few money, you can't make a fortune."

"I haven't caught anything ready-made for a long time, how can the king explain it."

"You don't have to worry about it, you'll know when the time comes. Hurry up and eat, and go back to the museum after eating. ”

"Oh......"

As soon as the words fell, the guards outside the door reported through the door:

"Deputy Marshal Qiqi, Bo Yuanjun and An Taihou have gone downstairs."

Hearing the news that Boyuan and Antai arrived together, Bai Liyan couldn't help but feel surprised, one at a time is actually enough, and both of them are obviously preparing to sing red and white.

Leaving Wei Qi and the others to continue dining, Bai Liyan got up and went downstairs to meet Ji Feng and Ji Tong.

Ji Tong is sixty-two this year, recalling that when he first came to Chenling more than 20 years ago, he was in the prime of life and had a strong political demeanor, and more than 20 years like a white horse passed through the gap.

As for Ji Feng, he is six years younger than Ji Tong, and he is still so energetic and shrewd, and he has not seen him for more than two years, and he has become more and more nourishing again. Smile when you see someone open their mouth, as if they will always be your friend.

"Hehaha, Yongxing Hou don't come unharmed."

Bai Liyan raised her hand and saluted slightly:

"I'm busy with official business all day, but I don't have the leisure of Bo Yuanjun. Ben Hou's ass was not yet hot, and the two of them came to the door, it seems that they will not give me half a moment of free time. ”

"Hehe......"

Ji Feng laughed embarrassedly, and Ji Tong answered on the side:

"Yesterday, I heard that the Marquis of Yongxing suddenly came to Boyuan, and Ben Hou and his brother wanted to go to the pavilion to talk about it, and learned that Your Excellency went to the Jingshang Mansion to meet Gu Simi Khan, so they had to give up. Today, I came to invite Yongxing Hou to come to the house and pay a little respect to the friendship of the landlord. ”

"Since the two of you are invited, Ben Hou will inevitably have to excuse himself again, so let's go."

Bailiyan happily made a promise, and after instructing his entourage, he took a few people to Ji Tong and Ji Feng to Ji Tong's mansion. On the way, Ji Feng proposed:

"Benjun Machinery Workshop is about to be completed, Yongxing Hou might as well go and find out."

"Oh, Bo Yuanjun didn't mention it, Ben Hou forgot about it, so it's okay to take a pass."

According to the production plan of that year, Ji Feng's order cycle is two and a half years, and it will be delivered in the first half of this year at the earliest, and it will be delayed to the end of this year to the beginning of next year at the latest.

But actual production began at the end of 646 and continued until this year, nearly four years before and after. A total of more than 460 sets of steam engines, forging machines, boilers, metal cutting machines, and woodworking machines of various types, 759 pairs of tooling, 1,500 sets of various types of measuring tools, and more than 12,000 other spare parts were delivered.

However, in the same period, Yongxing City has produced more than 8,000 sets of various types of industrial machinery, including only metal cutting machine tools, a total of more than 2,300 sets of cutting machine tools such as turning, milling, planing, grinding, drilling, drawing, boring, deep holes, etc., the latest variable speed machine tools account for nearly three percent, industrial production capacity has increased several times, and the results are far better than expected.

Boyuan's factory building is a factory built by the Ligong faction, and the equipment is placed on the left and right sides of the workshop, if it is not for the strong and stubborn hair bun, I don't know that I thought it was the style of painting BC and took the wrong script, and traveled to the military industrial enterprise at the end of the nineteenth century.

Ji Feng said as he walked, his mouth full of boastful, and he couldn't help but express desire between his words, which made Bai Liyan see his ambition.

"Yongxing Hou, Benjun's craftsmen should be able to return to Boyuan for production at the end of this year."

"The earliest batch will be able to return to China at the end of the year, the second and third batches will return to China in two batches next year, and the shipwrights will be able to return to China the year after. After all the craftsmen return to China, our country will no longer provide free technical help, and the rest will depend on your country itself. ”

When the voice fell, Ji Tong answered:

"After the completion of the hundred works, is there any difference between them and the hundred workers of the Xian country?"

"It makes no difference if everything that can be produced in our country can be produced by machinery here, and craftsmen can operate it themselves."

got Bai Liyan's affirmative reply, Ji Feng on the side was very satisfied, he said:

"The second brother can rest assured that the machinery here should be copied from Yongxing machinery, although it is not as many, but the types are basically complete, and there is no difference. As long as you learn the skills of craftsmanship, you will definitely have a place to use in the future. ”

In 646, Ji Feng personally inspected Yongxing City, and it is true to say that it was completely downsized, but he did not know that the foundation of industry was education.

In addition, it is also necessary to configure metallurgy, chemical engineering, engineering, physics, mathematics, mechanics, etc., and so on.

Moreover, the education of the Liang State was still stuck in the Warring States Period, the basic education of the Xian State was extended to the whole country, the intermediate education was popularized to the provincial capitals and large cities, and the advanced education was growing day by day, and the higher level of research was begun to be studied.

After more than 20 years of growth and development in many disciplines such as electric power, physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics, the basic fields are at least at the level of the end of the 19th century.

Now there is only one step away from the era of universal electricity, and now we only need to wait for the end of the war, and this year we can start to build and configure the industry, and put the mature achievements of the laboratory into practical application, and next year we will be able to electrify and light the first incandescent lamp.

Ji Feng was complacent and thought that he had taken a big advantage, but in fact he didn't know that he was a frog at the bottom of the well with two eyes looking at the sky.

After seeing Ji Feng's factory, the group drove to Ji Feng's mansion. The mansion is located in a courtyard fifty steps north of the official residence, and after the official residence was occupied by the Son of Heaven, Ji Feng repurchased real estate to settle himself and his second brother Ji Tong's family.

Most of them were frustrated in their quest for medicine last year, and Ji Tong's son Ji Kang was not in the house, along with his wife and children.

Ji Tong should be a banquet prepared in the morning, the delicacies have been cold, at the end of February and early March, when it was warm and cold, the latitude of Liang was slightly higher than that of Xianguo, and Peishui County was located in the south, the temperature was obviously low, Ji Kang ordered people to add a charcoal stove to keep warm.

Soon after taking a seat, Ji Tong's main wife, Li Zhu, the sister of Jing Shanggong Li Dai, came into the room, and Bai Liyan got up and saluted when she saw this:

"The junior Bai Liyan has seen Mrs. Hou."

Li Zhu smiled faintly and stepped forward to return the salute:

"Yongxing Hou doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat."

"Madame, please."

Bailiyan has a lot of respect for Li Zhu, when Ji Tong took the young Ji Kang to the Jin Kingdom to engage relatives and passed by Chenling when he was seriously ill, Li Zhu personally came to ask him who was still in the field to come to the house for diagnosis, and saw the spirit of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at a glance.

Although it was her sister Bailijuan who wanted to find a good minister for her eldest brother Baililu, it was not Li Zhuhui's eyesight and knowledge that he was not an idle person, and staying in Xianguo would become a big disaster.

I think that if I had left Xianguo for a few pieces of gold, maybe there would be no today's situation, so it can be seen that Li Zhu still has some means.

And as the old saying goes: "Behind every successful man, there is a woman", Ji Tong can have today, Li Zhu's planning and guidance are indispensable behind her, but it is a pity that she failed to lead her son to the right path. Investigated and investigated, Ji Kang's crookedness, and the woman behind it, Princess Jinguo, has an unshirkable responsibility.

After Li Zhu sat down, the four of them chatted and reminisced, and their words were always inseparable from the general trend of the world. But as soon as the conversation changed, it was inevitable to mention the war that was stalemate, and finally Ji Tong spoke first:

"Xianguo's battle is shocking and crying ghosts and gods, it's really amazing. Now that the defeat of the defense of the country has been decided, how is Yan Gongzi going to deal with the more than ten counties that he has occupied. ”

"What does Antaihou think should be done with it?"

Bai Liyan asked rhetorically, and then Li Zhu answered:

"There are some things, it's inconvenient for me to talk about them, but there are some things that the vision of women and Taoists may not be as good as your men, if Yan Gongzi doesn't mind, you might as well listen to me."

"Madame, but it doesn't hurt to say, I'm listening."

Li Zhu tilted his head and exchanged glances with Ji Tong, only to see Ji Tong nodding his head to express permission, Li Zhu restrained his demeanor and said solemnly:

"The national strength of the Xian country is obvious to all, and the hegemony of the Central Plains is just around the corner, but after all, the king of Xian only has the title of the king of the county, and he enters the Central Plains with the respect of the king of the county, and there are many people in the world who are not satisfied in the future. This time it occupied more than a dozen counties of the Wei Kingdom, and if the Xian State took it all, the princes would be terrified, just as the Wei Guo went east to occupy the Central Plains, and everyone was in danger.

Now that Xianguo can occupy the Central Plains, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not come to take it in the future. If you want to take the land, you must be right, and the name must be right, and the name must be right, and the name of the king of Xian will be crowned with the title of king, and the central plains of Xu Tu will be the best policy in the future. If you are too radical, you will suffer backlash.

These are all the words of this woman's heart, and I hope that Yan Gongzi will be cautious. ”

"Madame's intention is understood, the matter of the land has its own proportion, Madame can rest assured, but it is the matter of this king's name, Madame has reminded me."

Li Zhu didn't say it, Bailiyan really forgot about it. King Xian has always had the desire to advance to another level, and the mausoleum is also repaired according to the specifications of King Ping, if he can be sealed before his death, it is undoubtedly a long-cherished wish for King Xian, and it is also a great achievement.

Although the title is insignificant to Bailiyan, it cannot ignore the role of the title in the current politics, and at the same time, he is also forty-four this year, and it is time to consider his historical positioning, and in another fifteen years, history will also give him a final conclusion, and the matter of the title of King Xian is indeed sloppy.

If this matter was suddenly raised by Li Zhu, it is obviously not simple, if it is proposed by Ji Feng or Ji Tong, it obviously represents the will of the Son of Heaven, and Li Zhu is the sister of Li Dai, Jingshanggong, and the Baili family, and she proposed that it is reasonable, even if you say that you are in a hurry, you can't do anything, it is your elders, your relatives, and it is for your good.

But there is obviously no free lunch in the world, and a county king asked for more than 100,000 lives in Xianguo, and I don't know how much it cost to be crowned a king of Ping.
