Chapter 52: Surprised Li Xiu
The Dali Empire Yunhua Paper Alliance has been established, and it will not be long before Yunhua Paper will be listed in large quantities, and it is only a matter of time before it replaces Gaoxun Paper.
Zezhou has become the Yun family's self-reserved land, and there will be tens of thousands of gold in net income every year, of course, this part of the income is shared equally between Yun Yi and the family, but the money the family gets is also much higher than the annual income, plus the medicinal materials that the major forces have made a down payment after the auction and more medicinal materials will arrive in Yunhua County in the future, the Yun family really wants to sink down and increase their power.
If the strength of the Yun clan is strong enough, how can it be possible to share the benefits of Yunhua paper, and in the end there is only one Zezhou left, this is the shame of the Yun clan, and there is only one solution, that is, to make the Yun clan stronger, beyond the seven surnames and twelve clans, beyond the three major forces of the world, Datong, and Shen clan, and even stronger, this is the wish of the Yun clan.
The Yun clan can calm down and continue to strength, but Yun Yi will not stop, Yun Yi needs to seize every moment to increase his strength.
From the day he woke up in this world, Yun Yi had a sense of urgency in his heart, which was brought by the outside world.
As a traverser, Yunyi has also been confused, not knowing how to go in the future, whether to go on like this, or to be the king.
In such an environment, Yunyi only set a short-term goal: to make himself and his family stronger, at least to control his own destiny.
Grasping one's own destiny, this goal seems small, but in fact it is not at all smaller than being the king.
The Yunhua Yun clan is only a member of the hundreds of thousands of families in the Dali Empire, and the power in the family is also considered to be in the middle and upper reaches, but the most powerful force in the Dali Empire is that even the three major forces of the world, Datong, and Shen are not as good as the Fang clan of the God Clan, and various forces such as the big clans, business houses, and sects are all subject to the constraints of the Fang Clan, no matter how strong they are, they are not as strong as the country, and the emperor can be wiped out in one word, in this case, how can the Yun clan control their own destiny.
If the Yun clan wants to control its own destiny, it can only be stronger than the Fang clan, or in other words, the Yun clan must be stronger than the Dali Empire, so that they can initially control their own destiny.
The emperor is old, the battle for the heir has already begun, maybe new turmoil will come soon, and Yun Yi and the Yun clan don't have much time left.
The Yun clan couldn't find a way to quickly improve its own strength, so it could only go down step by step like other forces, slowly accumulating its strength, but Yun Yi was different, Yun Yi had the huge knowledge of another world in his mind, and there was a way to quickly improve the Yun clan's power.
As a human being in two lives, how can Yunyi be willing to be in the hands of others, and his own destiny must be in his own hands.
Manufacture of steam engines, the development of the basic steam industry is the road that Yunyi will take, although the warrior is strong, but it has not reached the point where science and technology can not fight, the steam engine has been manufactured, iron ore is also being mined, it may not take long to smelt the first furnace of iron, the first furnace of steel.
The knowledge reserve in Yunyi's mind is more than one level higher than this world, but it is very difficult to take out all these things, because Yunyi lacks relevant technical talents.
The steam engine manufacturing plant is relatively close, Yunyi can take time to come and see, but the number of times he comes is not much, the distance between the steel plant and the iron mine is relatively far, Yunyi has not been to it once, and now the steel plant and mine are above Yunyi only understands some from the mouths of his subordinates, and if you want to fully understand the situation, Yunyi must go to see it in person.
Yun's inheritance for more than 200 years, there is no shortage of management talents, but there are basically no related technical talents, Yunyi can not rest assured of these things, can only do it himself, which is definitely a torture for Yunyi who likes to practice martial arts and paint.
Soon after the auction ended, the arrival of a person made Yun Yi very happy, and the person who made Yun Yi happy was not a beauty, but a little fat man Li Xiu, who had a little fat figure.
Li Xiu, the word Ziyu, twenty-five years old, lives in Zezhou City, is from a middle-aged family, a disciple of the Mo family, likes to tinker with all kinds of equipment, limited by age and lack of experience, although Li Xiu has made some unique instruments, but it has been proved that they have little practical value, because of lack of funds, and finally recruited by the Yun family, promising to provide them with research funds.
The previous Yunhua Yun's family was a couple, and his reputation was not much, coupled with the barrenness of Yunhua County, Yunhua County could attract very few talents, basically no talent was willing to come to Yunhua County, let alone be recruited by Yun's family, fortunately, with the emergence of Yun's salt-making method, Yunhua paper, etc., Yunhua's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and there is more and more money, I believe that there will be more and more people who are willing to accept Yun's recruitment, and the technical talents that Yunyi needs are no longer a problem.
Li Xiu's parents had children in old age and died relatively early, and Li Xiu, who had no one to discipline him, gradually fell in love with tinkering with instruments, and soon joined the Mo family and became a disciple of the Mo family.
Li Xiu's talent is good, but there are more whimsical ideas, but they are not practical, the family's wealth is gradually exhausted, the family has a wife and children to support, and he has to continue his own research and invention road, in desperation, Li Xiu can only accept the recruitment of the Yun family, but Li Xiu still has something to do, saying that he will not be able to go to Yunhua County until three months.
Unexpectedly, March had already passed, and when most of April had passed, and even the auction was over, Li Xiu took his wife and children to Yunhua County.
There is a reason for it, plus there is no clear time limit, Yunyi doesn't care about those, as long as the people arrive, what Yunyi lacks most now is talent.
Yun Yi did not rush to meet Li Xiu, first asked his subordinates to settle Li Xiu's family, and the next day, Li Xiu, who was neatly dressed and full of energy, appeared in front of Yun Yi.
Yun Yi simply said some things to Li Xiu, and the most he talked about was Li Xiu's research, Li Xiu said the thoughts in his mind endlessly with expectant eyes, and what he wanted most was to let Yun Yi invest money in him, so that he could engage in his beloved research and invention.
In order to research the invention, Li Xiu is a person who can forget about his wife and children, but fortunately, Li Xiu's wife is gentle and considerate, and strives to maintain such a family.
After Yun Yi and Li Xiu talked about it, Yun Yi took Li Xiu to leave Yun Mansion and go to the manor outside the city.
The whimsical ideas in Li Xiu's mind are of little use to Yun Yi, Yun Yi wants Li Xiu to be in charge of the steam engine manufacturing plant, the steam engine is really not something that outsiders can understand, and Li Xiu, who knows some mechanical foundations, is in charge of the steam engine manufacturing plant is very suitable.
Coming to the manor outside the city, a steam engine that had not been manufactured long ago was carried out of the room by the craftsmen, and Li Xiu stared at this strange machine in amazement, not knowing what it was for.
After the craftsmen added coal and water to the steam engine, Li Xiu looked at the rotating steam engine, his eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and he couldn't speak.
