As soon as the New Year ended, several military and political leaders of the Tiance Mansion left the Chang'an base camp one after another and began to go to various places to supervise the various matters agreed upon at the joint meeting. Cen Tianshi led a team to Taiyuan Prefecture to guide the Shatuo people on the settlement and migration of the people, and began to preside over the land reform, distinguishing the people of all ethnic groups in the province according to their household registration, and distributing the fertile land on the Fenhe Plain to millions of extremely poor people. This move brought the hearts of the people of the newly established province of Merge Prefecture together. Among the five wealthy merchants, the He family and the Yuwen family also took the limelight in this reform that swept through the state, not only took the initiative to donate all the land occupied by their families for free, but also jointly purchased millions of seeds, farm tools, food, clothing and other materials and other materials to the political envoy Yamen. Zhu Laichen, the new political envoy of the state annex, was a little overwhelmed by this kind of largesse. However, Cen Tianshi smiled slightly and said: "You just accept it directly, this is a free donation." It is important to settle the people first, and later you can issue a medal of honor to the two families in the name of the political envoy yamen. The two of them followed the lord and were not short of money. If it weren't for Li Xuanqing's continuous transmission of new industrial and commercial development plans, Cen Tianshi would like to persuade his old friends to keep a low profile and not make a taboo.

Thinking of this, Cen Tianshi asked Zhu Laichen, who had arranged for someone to receive the supplies beside him, "Laichen, where are Director Murong and his entourage now?" Has the money bank in the state been opened? ”

"Only one Taiyuan Mansion has been opened." Zhu Laichen smiled bitterly, "There is too much time, and the management department of the money village can't send people over, so the chief of civil affairs, I suggest that we can adopt a parallel method to allow the two coins to run at the same time, but with the specific deadline for the announcement of the local government, we can free up a little time." Speaking of this, Zhu Laichen gritted his teeth and said: "If it really doesn't work, or let the money bank temporarily delegate the right to issue Tang coins to the yamen of various places, and wait until the money village is laid in one place, and hand it over immediately, so that both sides can take care of it." Taking advantage of the fact that the land reform we have implemented has gathered the hearts of the people in various places, it is a good time to implement the Tang currency. ”

Zhu Laichen's words made Cen Tianshi bow his head for a while, this is a way to do it, although it is a bit illegal, but after all, relying on this time, the prestige of the government will definitely go a lot smoother to implement the Tang currency. Therefore, they immediately summoned the management department and the finance department of the bank, and asked them to immediately follow this method.

When Cen Tianshi and Zhu Laichen took expedient measures to promote Tang coins, Murong Hanhai had already made a big circle in Yizhou and its surroundings. This circle is a business opportunity in the eyes of the director of industry and commerce. So he almost didn't care about meeting with Cen Tianshi, and went straight to study the local access roads in Yizhou. Compared with Cen Tianshi, Murong Hanhai is a businessman at heart, and he has a natural intuition for various business opportunities.

Just when Murong Hanhai was not leaving in Yizhou, and the heads of a group of business groups began to arrange the upstream and downstream industrial chains around the steel plant, a team of guards hurriedly walked outside the door, and the figure of Baixin, the person at the head, surprised everyone inexplicably, Murong Hanhai walked forward quickly, and sure enough, Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi also walked up from behind.

Li Xuanqing stopped Murong Hanhai from saluting him with everyone, and said with a smile: "You, the hall chief, have been in Yizhou for more than half a month, so you don't want to use your power for personal gain and do private work for your family's steel plant, right?" ”

"Lord, how dare I, this is not planning to rely on the steel mill to establish a whole industrial chain in Yizhou, but I forgot the time for this stay." Murong Hanhai said with a smile: "If the lord agrees, I plan to discuss with the Department of Transportation, and the first railway will be built in the Youzhou area, starting from Yizhou." ”

Li Xuanqing beckoned everyone to follow him as he walked and said: "Yes, build a railway from Yizhou to Yingzhou, but the northwest of Yizhou is the Yanshan Mountain Range, and it is too difficult to build a railway, and it is not possible to complete it now." Moreover, there is an iron ore mine near Yizhou, and the detection report of the logistics department has come out, and it is ready to build a factory in the near future. As for the charcoal needed for steelmaking, it is available in several surrounding states, so you can just ship it over. After a pause, he continued: "I came today to tell you that the industrial group intends to establish a large-scale steel forging and processing group in Mozhou to forge qualified steel plates for the Yingzhou shipyard. So your steel mill needs to increase its output and double it on the original basis. ”

"If that's the case, Yizhou will become a steel city." Murong Hanhai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"The steel industry is an important pillar of heavy industry, and you should seize the time to reform the iron-making and steel-making technology and enrich the categories of steel-making." Li Xuanqing casually said, "So many of you won't all get into the steel industry, right?" ”

"No, this time I mainly want them to drive the development of the local light industry. Heavy industry is still relying on these big businesses for investment. The Department of Industry and Commerce has been formulating a three-year industrial and commercial development plan for the two provinces and autonomous regions, and in line with the land reform of the Department of Agriculture, it is striving to make the economy of the two provinces quickly catch up with the pace of Fengling and other places within three years. Murong Hanhai was about to say something after saying this, when the captain of the guard behind Li Xuanqing quickly stepped forward and handed over a red emergency letter.

"Okay, the information of Xuanyingwei is here, I need to rush to Jizhou, and I'll leave it to you here. Tuoba Sizhi has also set out from Cangzhou, and the reform and development of industry and agriculture in Youzhou will be decided by the two of you. Li Xuanqing glanced at the information and smiled at Murong Hanhai: "The Youji region has just experienced a war, you might as well develop the tertiary industry first, restore the market order, and then consider the rest." ”

After saying this, he pulled Qiaoxi over and turned over the jade lion led by Baixin, and smiled at everyone: "The people of the secluded land are in difficulty, and the war has just ended, but the land is vast and rich, and the products are abundant, so it is a good place to invest." Therefore, you might as well discuss with Director Murong, choose a good industry, and do your best for the people in the world. The jade lion hissed and led Baixin and the others towards the north quickly.

"Director Murong, is there something wrong with the north in such a hurry?" An Qixuan looked at Li Xuanqing's figure and asked a little hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I can proudly say to everyone now, no one in this world can defeat the Tiance Army, so don't worry about anything happening." Murong Hanhai didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who suffered from gains and losses all day long, and began to continue walking forward with everyone. At the same time, he sent someone to inform the Minister of Transportation, Wu Chok Tong, to come and prepare to discuss the start of the new railway.

And Li Xuanqing led people to the north because Xuanyingwei reported that the movements of the Khitans had basically been investigated, and Hu Xiaosi also urgently came to Jizhou to wait for Li Xuanqing's arrival.

"Big brother, this Bohai Bay seems to be different from that of later generations, and the location of the mouth of the Yellow River is not quite right." On the way, Qiaoxi suddenly remembered something, curled up in Li Xuanqing's arms and said: "The factory building over there in Yingzhou has already been built, but Bohai Bay is frozen, and there is nothing to be done at this time." ”

"It's hard at the beginning, but it's okay, now we have to wait for the steel plant to be able to put into operation and the shipyard can be a little bit of a look." Li Xuanqing was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "You can take a look at the charts and hydrological data from the logistics department, maybe it can be of some help." ”

Qiaoxi nodded, but running around with Li Xuanqing these days made her a little sleepy now, so she just snorted softly and closed her eyes to recuperate.

The distance from Yizhou to Jizhou is very close, but the north is full of snow at this time, the road is rugged and difficult, Li Xuanqing and his party did not arrive in Jizhou City until it was almost dark.

"My lord, the movements of the southern tribes of the Khitans have basically been investigated." Hu Xiaosi saw Li Xuanqing settle down a little and walked to the hall of the city guard mansion in Jizhou City, and said straight to the point: "The information was heard from Zhu Quanzhong on the southern line. The patriarchs of the three tribes of the southern tribes of the Khitan people were lured by Zheng Fan's bribes and wanted to invade Youzhou in the south. In addition, Yelu Hanxiong's control over the southern tribes was not as strong as before, so it was basically a success. ”

"Is there any intelligence from the northern front?" Li Xuanqing said with a frown. Judging from the situation recorded in the historical books of Yelu Hanxiong Li Xuanqing from later generations, this person is a generation of heroes, and he left a strong and unified Khitan tribe when Yelu Abaoji ascended the throne.

"There is only one piece of news on the northern front for the time being, that is, Yelu Hanxiong seems to have known about this matter, but he has not taken any special measures, but is intentionally or unintentionally conniving at these tribes to go south." Hu Xiaosi also frowned and said: "By the way, it seems that the direct troops of the Khitan have been deployed to the north." ”

There was nothing technical about this news, but Li Xuanqing's brows showed no sign of loosening at all, and after pondering for a long time, he continued: "Let the Flying Eagle Brigade go north, Xiaohu has dealt with their Khan Guards when they went to Beijing, let them go to the field to investigate." Be sure to find out what Yelu Hanxiong is planning. Don't let us fight with the southern tribes at that time, he will stick in again. In addition, the Tuoba Siji on the front line was informed to prepare to prevent the combined forces of these tribes from moving south. ”

Hu Xiaosi naturally understood Li Xuanqing's thoughts, and nodded when he heard the words: "Since Zheng Fan's side has contacted the Khitan on the northern line to attack us. Shall we do the same? Outbred and close attack? ”

"None of the other forces in the south of the Xuanwu Army have the ability to compete with the Xuanwu Army, who can you count on to go?" Li Xuanqing smiled bitterly.

Hu Xiaosi pointed to the location of the Huainan area on the map and said, "Xuan Yingwei's current development in Huainan is not bad, why don't I contact Yang Xingmi and try it?" ”

"Yang Xingmi?" Li Xuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "This person can try, but his power doesn't seem to be big at the moment, right?" Moreover, the Huainan region was messed up by Qin Zongquan and Gao Biao, and he probably had a weak heart. ”

"Let's try it first. For Bianliang and other places, as well as Caizhou and other places, you Xuanyingwei can do whatever you want. Li Xuanqing said: "We can't be fighting, but Zhu Quanzhong can sit back and relax at home." By the way, let me tell you one thing, Zhu Quanzhong is a lustful person, you had better draw a few portraits of his daughters-in-law and stuff them into his room. ”

Hu Xiaosi was taken aback by Li Xuanqing's words, and then understood what was going on, and immediately laughed and said: "The lord's method is good, I will let Zhao Si arrange it immediately." No, this kind of thing is the most suitable for Biaozi to go out, I will immediately let Biaozi go to Bianzhou to assist Zhao Si. ”

"Big brother, you don't have a good idea." Before the two finished speaking, Qiao Xi walked in from behind and said, "It's easy to affect social harmony, and it's also bad for Brother Hu." ”

Qiaoxi's words suddenly made Hu Xiaosi flee. Li Xuanqing glared at this guy's figure angrily, and said with a smile: "I just arranged it in advance, anyway, Zhu Quanzhong is not a good person himself." ”

Qiaoxi remembered Zhu Quanzhong's habits recorded in the history books of later generations, and immediately laughed, and said: "I don't know if his daughter-in-law knows about it." ”

"Forget it, let Xiao Si figure it out by himself. For the rest of the time, let's clean up the interior as soon as possible. The territory is big, and it feels like a lot of trouble, so it would be nice if it were the next generation. ”

"Then let's be Yingzhou tomorrow, let's go and see how Brother Zhang's layout is, a batch of new machines have recently been manufactured within the group, and Brother Qin has also figured out some new things, and the time will be in Yingzhou."

"Now we have to find a way to improve traffic. As long as there is a change in the mode of transportation, it will be possible to integrate the economies of each region as soon as possible and accelerate circulation. That's the hundred-year plan. Li Xuanqing touched his forehead and said with a smile: "Now I finally understand the sentence of the later generations, if you want to get rich, you must first build a simple truth." Qiaoxi, you let the group mobilize manpower to Yizhou, I will arrange Yang Yi to arrange manpower to carry out the construction of the roadbed in advance, and then the steel plant will be put into operation as soon as the railroad track will be cast, so that it will be much faster. As long as the first railway is successfully opened to traffic, it will inevitably drive the rapid development of the entire transportation industry. ”

"I have already arranged it, these people are now surveying the foundation along the way under the leadership of Brother Zhang, and it is estimated that as soon as Brother Yang's men arrive, they can be laid directly. Let's just lay the logs, it's faster. Qiaoxi took a charcoal pen and said while drawing on the map: "You can set up a single line in the early stage, and wait until the operation to erect the double line, which can avoid this winter." ”

Li Xuanqing looked at the gradually improving railway line on the map, and suddenly remembered the dense railway network in this area in later generations, and said with a smile: "This should be the transportation network around the Bohai Bay." Once the construction is completed here, it is time for shipping to rise. It always feels like this pace has improved too fast. If you calculate it carefully, this is almost 1,500 years ahead of schedule. If you say it, you will be beaten to death. ”

"Anyway, if you don't say it, no one will know if I don't say it." Qiaoxi ignored him and said with a smile: "This is the iron car that I can walk." It will be perfect when I make a flying iron bird. ”

"Iron Bird?" Li Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts also leaped up, as if he had returned to the era of flying iron birds.
