In fact, this is not to blame Ji Feng, because of various political reasons, education in the agricultural era is an unprofitable investment, and at the same time, the talent return cycle brought by early education is too long, so if he agrees to buy an industry that does not make money and has to pay for it, of course Bo Yuanjun will not agree.

At the same time, Ji Kang met Queen Xihuan, and the relationship should be his aunt, and the thing the two talked about was how to divide Yongxing City. At this time, Xihuan was angry, and she was not interested in carving up Yongxing City, she had only one goal, to dominate Yongxing City.

The next day, Boyuan Jun met with King Xian and handed over the letter of the Son of Heaven, mourning the death of King Renwu and congratulating the new monarch on his accession to the throne.

Bo Yuanjun did not ask to buy Yongxing City in person, after all, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he still couldn't say such shameless words, but it didn't prevent him from finding another way, Ji Feng proposed that the Ligong faction move back to Liang State, and the cost of the relocation would be funded by Liang State.

But the ambitious Xianwang was not deceived by Ji Feng's request, on the contrary, he clearly knew the truth that fertilizer and water did not flow into outsiders' fields, no matter how stinky things were, it was also pulled down by himself. However, Jiang Yu didn't dare to offend Liang Guo clearly, so he only said that he would consider it, intending to drag it first.

King Xian's attitude was like this, Ji Feng felt that the situation had changed dramatically in three hundred and sixty degrees as Gao Xun said, and King Xian was not controlled by any force, which was unexpected before, which meant that the original plan was invalidated.

However, Ji Feng did not give up, and he proposed to Gao Xun that he would go to see the Ligong faction in person. Gao Xun then arranged for him to go to Yongxing City to meet Duan Songzhi, and when he learned that Ji Feng was coming, Duan Songzhi felt ridiculous in his heart, and he would not move back to his original location unless he was sick in the brain.

"Bo Yuanjun's kindness has been understood, and now the foundation of our faction is deep, and if you move rashly, your vitality will be greatly damaged, and if you are serious, your sect will decline, and the old man will be difficult to obey."

"Hehe, Master Duan doesn't need to worry, all the gold and silver expenses will be borne by our country, and it will never cost your faction a penny of money."

"It's not that the old man doesn't want to move, in fact, the migration of the sect is not an overnight thing, and the family has a big business, and the Liang country has neither a market nor a talent, what can the door do if it moves to your country, even if the old man agrees, the two masters below the old man will not agree, and Bo Yuanjun does not need to mention this matter again."

The Ligong faction now occupies 20% of the supply of the Xianguo market, and Yongxing's assets reach tens of millions, as well as franchised mines, systematic schools, generous welfare benefits, rich material life enjoyment, and advanced technology industries. On the other hand, Liang Guo wants nothing at all, only a madman will agree to relocate.

Moreover, the Ligong faction was originally a mercenary sect, although politically inclined to defend the Son of Heaven, but the Ligong faction had its own interests to consider, at this time, the Ligong faction should give up the mature market and industry, spend another ten years to relocate, and cultivate the market and education system for twenty years, not to mention that it is thankless, and Liang Guo may not have this mind.

Seeing that Duan Songzhi never let go, Ji Feng still did not give up and retreated, he said:

"Since it is temporarily difficult for your faction to relocate, then it should be a matter of effort to build two 400,000 jin molten iron smelting furnaces for the Son of Heaven."

"The 400,000 jin iron furnace is not the original creation of our faction, but the Yongxing City Technology Department, the Design Agency, the University Hall and our Ligong faction jointly built, which is shared by both parties.

In addition, even if the furnace is completed, hundreds of stoker craftsmen need to understand the reason, and it is difficult to open the furnace in three or five years, so Liang Guo cannot build such a furnace in a short time, and can only barely use the furnace below 50,000 catties, but it still needs the approval of the Marquis of Yongxing. ”

At the beginning of the relocation of the Yangong faction to Xianguo, they entered into an agreement on the protection of intellectual property rights, under which each side held half of the property rights for the technology jointly researched, and could not spread the technology without the consent of the other party, and could not use the technology for profit.

In addition, the technology mastered by the Ligong faction are traditional technologies, the real technical core is in the hands of Bailiyan, although the development of electric power is only three or two years, but the Ligong faction has not even learned, after the successful development of the internal combustion engine, Bailiyan has found another way to develop a double-cylinder, three-cylinder, four-cylinder engine, and the Ligong faction can only build a single-cylinder engine and a locomotive, in the face of such attractive technical potential, any enterprise CEO will not damage the fundamental interests for the sake of small profits.

Taking a step back, Liang Guo did not use the foundation of modern smelting, and the technical stokers and operators required for 400,000 jin smelting furnaces need at least primary education, be familiar with the working principles of instrumentation, and be able to deal with ordinary unexpected problems, while Liang Guo did not have it at all, and I am afraid that he did not even master primary school mathematics.

Duan Songzhi's repeated refusal made Ji Feng extremely annoyed, and after the collapse of the conversation, he returned to Chenling to find Gao Xun again, this time he didn't plan to move away from Yongxing City as a whole, because Xihuan asked Ji Kang to bring him a message, and Yongxing City had no room for negotiation.

So Ji Kang planned to fight piecemeal, taking advantage of the favorable situation that Gao Xun Administration had already controlled Yongxing, and asked him to poach people and poach some technicians.

However, in late April, the situation in the whole country deteriorated rapidly, first the Wang family futures market was announced to be closed, and then the run broke out in Shanling and Wang family, which hit the money mill every day to cash out hundreds of thousands, and quickly spread from the east of the capital county to the west county, and then from the capital county to the whole country.

By the end of April and the beginning of May, a large-scale movement broke out in the western county of the capital county, with a strike by merchants, a strike by students, and a strike by workers.

Craftsmen, students and merchants who went on strike, boycotted and boycotted the market all lost their land, their raw material supplies and finally their livelihoods, and the craftsmen needed land to provide basic raw materials, and at the same time the food produced by the land could replace part of the cash to pay wages to the hired workers.

The parents of the students need land to provide for their school fees, food, clothing, housing and transportation for the family, and small businessmen also need their own land and leased land to obtain cash crops and land for raising livestock.

A fundamental shift in land policy eventually became the ultimate trigger for the inflamement of all strata, and with the advent of futures, bank liquidity dried up, which eventually became the straw that broke the camel's back.

The situation developed rapidly and burned all the way to the six counties of Beihai, Xianxi, Sangnan, Pengyuan, Shangguan and Ganfu. By mid-May, the country's commerce had come to a standstill, the fields were deserted, the merchants had begun to flee abroad, capital was flowing out at a rate of millions of dollars a day, the treasury was penniless by May, and military salaries were in short supply.

On the twenty-fifth day of May, in the west of Yongxing, the sky was overcast and bright, and the soldiers defending the city of the Xian army were vigilantly patrolling the city. Suddenly, a wisp of red smoke faintly glowed with red light, and quickly merged into a column of smoke and rose into the air, and the patrol soldier looked at the red cloud beacon tower in the northwest direction in amazement and stopped and said:

"Look, it looks like the Red Cloud Beacon is on fire."

Another soldier said:

"This beacon fire is burning from the northwest, someone must have missed his hand and lit it."

"Yes, since ancient times, there has only been a red cloud beacon fire from the south, how can it be burned from the north, the caravan of the Jin Xuedi people has fought on the river every day, and I have never heard of a war."

The Hongyun Beacon Fire has always been burned from the south to the north, because Jin Xuedi could only invade the Central Plains from the south, but the Red Cloud Beacon Fire repaired from the Xian State to the Changsun State was repaired from the southeast to the northwest, so this beacon fire was burned from the territory of the Changsun Kingdom.

Due to a serious violation of common sense, it did not attract the attention of the defenders of Xicheng, but the red cloud beacon was still lit one after another to the southeast, and it was not until the beacon tower under Miaotian Mountain was lit that the news reached Su Fangyi's ears.

"What, the Northwest lit the beacon!"

"Mr. Qiqi Su, the Red Cloud Beacon Tower is indeed lit from the northwest all the way to Xianguo."

Yuke said quickly, Su Fangyi's face suddenly turned black as iron, and he hurriedly said to Tang Zhao beside him:

"Quick, quickly send someone to Wanchuan to move the master!"

"No!"

As soon as Su Fangyi's words fell, the royal guest outside the door came to report again:

"Mr. Qiyu Su, there is Mr. Zongbo's phone number."

"Looks like something happened!"

Su Fangyi hurriedly went to answer the phone, and Zong Botai on the other end of the phone had just received a call from Jiang Jie, and only then did he know the news that the Northwest Red Cloud Beacon Tower had been ignited.

Because the smoke and dust emitted by the steelmaking blast furnace in the west of Yongxing City obstructed the observation vision of Dongcheng, Dongcheng did not learn the news at the first time, but Xuanyun's field of vision was very broad, and there was a watchtower with a height of eight zhang and a 20-fold telescope to monitor, and the situation dozens of miles away could be seen.

As soon as the beacon fire was discovered, Jiang Jie was notified and confirmed that it was Hongyun Beacon, and his first call was made to Zong Botai, and the second call was made to Lu Gao.

"General Jiang, is the news accurate!"

"It's true!" Jiang Jie affirmed, and then said: "It should be burned to the Lingling before noon, and I am worried that something may happen in Beihai." ”

"If it's not a false positive, it is. If you stabilize people's hearts, I will report to the king immediately. ”

After speaking, Lu Gao hung up the phone, sat on the couch for a long time and was speechless, Jiao Muhua, who came to be a guest, didn't know what was said on the phone, but seeing Lu Gao's solemn face, he also knew that it was not a good thing, he said:

"Is there something wrong with General Ye?"

Lu Gao shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid that a more dangerous calamity than the rebellion has come, and the Changsun Kingdom has lit the Red Cloud Beacon Tower, which has already burned across the Yongxing River."

Burnt wood huá wén news shocked:

"Yes, it's the armpit man!"

"I'm afraid yes, let's go, it's time to go to the king."

"But the king is listening to the slander now, I'm afraid he won't believe it, maybe General Ye is under siege and has to do it."

"It's possible, but the Red Cloud Beacon Tower will never be lit for no reason, all the generals know this, even if it is a rebel, they will not kill the defenders, so most of them are armpit people who go ashore in the north of Changsun."

The Red Cloud Beacon Tower is not a traditional beacon, the royal guest is responsible for regular inspections, the princes pay for the maintenance, and the people guarding the beacon tower have all the immunity except for criminal liability, so most of the time, even if it is a mountain bandit and robber, they will not besiege the Red Cloud Beacon for no reason, otherwise they may be besieged by the royal guest.

Even if the Black Turban rebelled back then, the Red Cloud Beacon Tower in the occupied area still maintained its operation, which shows that the Red Cloud Beacon Tower has a transcendent political status and military significance in the Central Plains, so it will not be ignited for no reason, and of course there has never been a precedent for igniting it from the north to the south.
