On the construction site of Xianqi Village in Yibin, skilled workers are busy, and they are drilling wells with large drilling machines. These machines need to insert pipes into the ground to allow natural gas to flow through them.

Workers are in full swing, next to the natural gas field construction site in Xianqi Village. Another group of skilled workers is also working non-stop. That's the tunnel driller of the mountain. Construction of the tunnel was also started at the same time. In this way, after the gas field is built, the tunnel can be transported to the other side of the mountain through the gas pipeline for the steel mill.

On the other side of the mountain, the steel plant has been built, and yes, the steel plant was moved by Li Yibai. Everything is working fine at the steel plant, just waiting for the gas pipeline to pass through. The pipes that come through it are then connected to the pipes of the steel plant. In this way, the furnace of the steel mill can be burned. The steel mill will be able to make steel.

The entire steel plant can be put up and running.

Of course, if a steel mill wants to make steel, it also needs good iron ore. This is not a difficult task, and there are open-pit mines in many places in the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the furnaces of steel mills can also generate electricity from the waste heat from combustion. The electricity generated by the steel mill is more than enough for its own use, and the surplus electricity can be supplied to nearby villages.

When all this is done, this will be the richest area in the west. ’

Li Yibai stood on a high slope and watched all this and said. Next to him stood the Ascendor.

The elevator said, "Boss, you said that the construction of the Great Song Dynasty should retain the original flavor. But yesterday you said that you would build buildings for the villagers here, and that was not against your original intention. ’

Li Yibai smiled, shook his head and said, "There is no comparison between here and the city of Lin'an. Look at the dilapidated houses in the village here. It's all gravel and turf topping. These houses do not have any heritage value. And since we have relocated them for the sake of building gas. At the same time, in order to save land. Isn't it nice to build a building? What's more, there are few land resources here. What we do is the real construction of a new Song Dynasty that is economical. ’

The Heightener nodded, "The boss is right. My head is too dull. Flexible analysis that you don't understand. It's nice for these villagers to live in a building and then come here to work. Since the boss plans to build the building, let's send Lin'an's engineering company to build it. After all, the construction of buildings can be done by Lin'an's engineering company. ’

'Hmm. I landed them where yesterday, and now they're doing it. Li Yibai said with a smile.

'The boss is really fast. The elevator admired.

These workers are still at work.

'Squeak squeak' This is a tunnel worker drilling stones. They're already inside the tunnel. Because there is no shortage of water here, they are very fast when they punch holes.

Li Yibai also instructed Jin Guozi to supply the best local food. Make sure the workers here eat well. However, the food of Da Song is healthy and delicious. They are satisfied with what they eat, and when they are satisfied, their bodies will have strength. So it's better to work.

These things have been explained. Because of Li Yibai's sitting, these people are all working very diligently, and all this is going on in an orderly manner.

Li Yibai had nothing to do, and he ordered Golden Seed to take him around the local area.

Sichuan is a country of abundance, with vast land and abundant products. There are good mountains and rivers everywhere, and deep forests and strange stones.

'The owner. I'll take you to see the big cats. ’

'Big cats. Li Yibai was puzzled. 'What's that?' ’

The big panda eats bamboo, and there is one in the forest to the south. Their bodies are black and white, and their flesh is delicious. But it's not easy to raise, and it's easy to die. ’

Golden Seed said colorfully.

'Huh. It turned out to be a giant panda. Are there many pandas in the mountains to the south? ’

'Lots and lots of them. But the big pandas live in the mountains and valleys. Not very easy to find. And where it is steeper, it is generally not easy to catch them. The main thing is that their meat is not that tasty. If you want to say that it is delicious, it is still wild boar. But the big panda is unique to us here. Outsiders generally haven't seen it. That's why I'd like to take the owner to see it. ’

The golden seed walked aside. He said.

The Golden Seed took the machete and opened the way in front, and walked quickly along the way.

After a short time, the two came to Nanshan. The northern slope here is a bamboo forest, which is very quiet.

'Golden Seed, take a break. We'll catch the pandas later. ’

Li Yibai commanded.

'The owner. It's the most beautiful place. However, the big panda just likes to stay in such a beautiful place. But the two of us won't be able to catch it. The big panda bears are huge and powerful. But I could have killed it. Then we will get a leather for the proprietor to make a cushion. ’

Golden Seed panted and said, he was really tired.

Li Yibai waved his hand, "You can't kill the giant panda." The giant panda is a national treasure. You see how cute they are. How bad it is to kill them. But next time you bring a few people to catch one alive for me. I want to keep it and play with it. ’

It's the owner. The Golden Seed replied, "Look, big panda, you're coming out." It's a big one. ’

Li Yibai hurriedly looked in the direction of the Golden Seed's finger.

I saw a fat giant panda, rolling out of the grass, holding a small bamboo branch in both paws. It was gnawing on a small bamboo branch. It's laid-back.

Look at how laid-back he is. How many big cats and bears are there here? ’

'A lot. It's just the South Mountain, and there are many more in the West Mountain. Anyway, there are always a few thousand. The Golden Seed replied.

'Hmm. Da Song is really good. There are so many pandas, unlike in the United States, there are so few. In the future, I want to raise giant pandas as pets. ’

Li Yibai said with a smile.

After watching the giant pandas, Li Yibai and Golden Seed decided to go back.

But when they returned, they just drank the spring water on the high slope and watched it all leisurely.

The mines have also been equipped with advanced equipment, and the gold miners have learned to use the equipment. This state-of-the-art facility has increased the mine's production by a factor of 10. It can produce 1,000 taels of gold per day.

Jin Guozi came to report, 'Congratulations to the owner. Our mine production has increased a lot. ’

'Hmm. In the future, there will be Xiaoqiang from Lin'an, who will come to transport the goods, and you will all hand them over to him. He will give you money. You all remember that all the gold here has to be transported to Lin'an. ’

Li Yibai ordered lightly.

'Yes. Landlord. We did everything according to the owner's instructions. Jin Guozi nodded back.

And so. You open a gold shop near a re-gold mine. We collect a lot of gold. All who have gold can exchange it for silver or copper coins with us. I have 10,000 taels of silver here, and you can take it for your purchase of gold. ’

Li Yibai commanded again.

'Yes. Landlord. I'll do it right away. The golden fruit arched his hand.

Li Yibai drank the spring water leisurely. The local spring water is delicious. The water can be processed, packaged, and shipped to the United States for sale.

Li Yibai is always inspired when he experiences the life of the Great Song Dynasty.

'Hmm. It's a good idea. In the future, a waterworks will be built here. Hehe, the surrounding mountains are going to be turned into industrial areas. ’

At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed on the ground, and Long Wu descended from the sky.

'Daddy. I have something for you. ’

After Li Yibai finished handling the large equipment, he entrusted the transmission capacity to Long Wu. It only retains the first-level transmission capability. This is so that Long Wu can always be busy with business matters.

'Tell me anything?' ’

'Daddy. Hebei near Bianliang reported civil unrest. It is said that it has affected the boundaries of Shandong. Long Wu said seriously.

'It's on the border of Shandong. This is the emperor's business, what does it have to do with us. As long as you don't hit Lin'an. If the rebels hit us, I won't spare them. ’

'Daddy. But I suspect it really has something to do with us. That's why I report to you. ’

Tell me about it. ’

'Daddy. Haven't we been selling a lot of cotton lately? Our cotton cloth is low price and high quality, which is very popular with dealers. They sell our cotton cloth all over the country. But it was also because of our cotton cloth that caused civil unrest.

Because our cotton cloth is cheap and abundant. As a result, cotton cloth in Hebei and Shandong and other places cannot be sold. We robbed them of their business.

And where they have always been male farmers and female weavers. Women's weaving is also a supplement to subsidize the household and pay taxes. It is very important for ordinary people who want to have enough to eat. But our cloth robbed them of their jobs. As a result, their cloth could not be sold. As a result, they have no way to increase their income, and they have no way to pay taxes. In the end, he was extremely oppressed by the imperial court, so he had to rebel and survive. ’

'Hmm. This thing is the same as I speculated. I take this into account when selling cotton. But I deliberately didn't stop it, I wanted to test whether it was serious or not. I didn't expect the economy of the Great Song Dynasty to be so fragile. This also shows that the exploitation of the imperial court is really serious.

It also proves that if I want to carry out economic reforms, I must carry out political reforms. In my reform area, it must be rectified and clear, and the burden on the people is lighter. That's how it can be carried out.

So be it. You have issued an order that our cotton cloth should only be sold in the Lin'an area. Supplies will not be available in other locations.

I think I'm in the Lin'an area, and I still need to carry out some political reform. ’

'What is Daddy going to do?' I've read a lot of economics books though. But I still don't know about the combination of economics and politics. ’

'Hmm. I intend to reform the law first, and I must quickly build a society under the rule of law in Lin'an. Let the productive forces of society be unleashed. Nowadays, many people are afraid to start a business. It was only because they were worried that the laws and regulations of the imperial court would change, and now they still relied on relying on big businessmen or high-ranking officials if they wanted to do big business. That's not going to work.

We must build a society governed by the rule of law and with accountability. In this way, they can do things with confidence. (To be continued......)
