The white horse flies, and time flies. In the blink www.biquge.info of an eye, it was already October of the thirteenth year of Guangxu (that is, November 1887), and it had been a year since Li Zhongju came to the late Qing Dynasty.

In the past year, many major events have taken place in the world and in China.

In this year, Coca-Cola went public, the Nagasaki Incident occurred, Spain abolished slavery in Cuba, and the Qing court signed many unequal treaties with foreign powers that humiliated the country and established Taiwan Province.

The exploitation of the common people by the Qing court has intensified, and the lives of the lower classes of the working people have become much more difficult and difficult, and many people in the whole country have starved to death due to drought, or have become homeless or even grasshoppers.

The tiny island nation on the edge of the Pacific Ocean has begun to reform and is on the path to rejuvenation. It's a pity that Li Zhongju didn't stop it, he can only go all out to develop his Zhenwu group and prepare for the complete defeat of the island country in the future.

Under the leadership of Li Zhongju, as well as the joint efforts of Liu Jiang, Song Mingren, Li Yi and others, the development of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce and the Zhenwu Dart Bureau this year was very rapid, and at the same time, it also drove the economic development of the entire Tianzhu County and even the entire Zhenyuan Mansion, which had a certain impact on the entire Guizhou Province.

This year, for the people of Tianzhu County and Zhenyuan Mansion, the biggest change is that there are a lot of new commodities, these chambers of commerce have a wide variety of types, and they have driven the rapid economic development of these areas and made these areas more prosperous, which is all due to the rise of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce.

During this year, Li Zhongju used the warship manufacturing system to manufacture countless goods, which were sold to various places in Zhenyuan Prefecture, and some of the goods have even gone out of Zhenyuan Mansion to the entire Guizhou Province, providing a lot of fun for people's lives.

At the same time, Li Zhongju used the warship manufacturing system, with the cooperation of Xiaomei, to manufacture many machine tools and establish more than a dozen factories in Tianzhu County. Among them are textile mills, flour mills, garment mills, furniture factories, etc., as well as several service inns.

At this time, Tianzhu County seemed to have become a small industrial city, with more than 3,000 workers, almost all of whom worked in the factories of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce, and they could get close to one tael a month.

The development of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce has led to the changes in Tianzhu County, and people's living standards are improving day by day, they all know the value and hope of their lives, and they are full of expectations and longing for the future.

The cooperation between the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce and the Li family is also becoming more and more intimate, and the two sides are open and honest, with one heart and one mind, working together for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and they may be the most harmonious partners among many collaborators.

Wu Long, the county commander, once saw the huge interests of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce and was ready to extort a sum of money, but when he knew that the person in charge of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce was Li Zhongju, he immediately remembered the task assigned by the envoy of the King of Yama, so he knelt down for Li Zhongju at that time, and swore that he would only obey the order in the future and dare not make the slightest mistake.

At this point, Li Zhongju was able to completely let go of his hands and feet in Tianzhu County, vigorously develop, and even establish a private army, but outsiders knew very little about all this.

At the same time, Li Zhongju has also manufactured more than 5,000 rifles and has equipped an armed force of 500 people. This force was led by Song Naruto, and was established on the basis of the green forest heroes of the Yin Wind Ridge, and these soldiers were all wearing new military uniforms produced by the battleship system, and they also had their braids cut off and organized into a reinforced battalion, which was the Lieshan Battalion.

Li Zhongju looked at Song Naruto, who was already a little iron-blooded in front of him, "Naruto, are you still used to it recently?" What was life like in the army? ”

Since Song Naruto became a real soldier under Li Zhongju's teaching, and led the largest number of armed forces under Li Zhongju's command, he has more respect and loyalty to Li Zhongju, and often studied the book "Modern War" written by Li Zhongju, and he has made great progress.

When Song Naruto heard Li Zhongju ask himself, he immediately replied, "Commander, everything is fine with your humble position, all the soldiers have great respect for you, Commander, and all the generals and soldiers hope that Commander You can lead them to lay down a country and contribute to the strength of China." ”

Li Zhongju said with a straight face, "Naruto, this matter is not in a hurry, I believe there will be many opportunities in the future, after all, the country is still in a relatively comfortable state now, wait a minute, there will be a chance to fight in the future." ”

Naruto Song immediately replied loudly, "It's the commander." ”

Li Yi also had a very fulfilling year, he was in charge of three coal mines, four iron mines and a copper mine for Li Zhongju, although he was very tired, but he was very happy.

Perhaps since following Li Zhongju, Li Yi's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, he feels that his knowledge has increased a lot, and he has learned more about the true meaning of life.

Li Zhongju looked at this somewhat resolute man, but his heart was full of gratitude, day after day, year after year, he never complained, and devoted himself to managing all kinds of mineral resources for Li Zhongju.

Li Zhongju said with a smile, "Li Yi, you have worked hard, if it weren't for you, our Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce would not have developed into such a scale as it is now." ”

Li Yi has also matured a lot in a year, "Boss, you are serious, I am willing to dedicate my strength to our Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce, not to mention hard work." But boss, you have paid too much this year, and each of us is worried about you.

Li Zhongju patted Li Yi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, what we are doing is beneficial to the entire Chinese nation, and we will all go down in history and become famous." ”

Li Yi nodded heavily, and decided in his heart that he must work hard and do more for the Chinese nation.

Liu Jiang also had a very good year this year, he sat in the town of the martial arts dart bureau, often darts, the dart bureau has also developed rapidly this year, and there are currently more than 300 dart divisions. He also gained a lot of insight and understood a lot of truths.

When Liu Jiang saw Li Zhongju, he immediately saluted respectfully, "Hello boss." ”

Li Zhongju looked at the first subordinate he accepted, and now they have all grown to this step, he couldn't help but feel very relieved, "Liu Jiang, you are the first to follow me, this year, your performance, I have been looking at your eyes, remembering in my heart, you have made great progress, martial arts have also improved a lot, and Tai Chi has been practiced to the point of perfection." You have lived up to my expectations. ”

Liu Jiang nodded vigorously, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely redouble my efforts and never disappoint your expectations." ”

Li Zhongju summoned Liu Jiang, Song Mingren, and Li Yi to thank and greet them, and this year, Li Zhongju, these three capable helpers, shared a lot of tasks for Li Zhongju. But they are definitely not as good as Xiaomei's help to Li Zhongju.

Li Zhongju looked at Xiaomei, who was still fifteen or sixteen years old, and his heart was full of infinite gratitude, "Xiaomei, are you tired?" I help my brother deal with a lot of things every day, and I don't have much time to bask in the sun. ”

Xiaomei stuck out her tongue, "Brother, Xiaomei has always been very good, helping her brother deal with various things every day, Xiaomei enjoys it." ”

Li Zhongju looked at Xiaomei and still liked people like nothing before, "Xiaomei, thank you, this year you helped my brother make guns and ammunition, all kinds of goods, helped my brother build a factory, and you managed the property for my brother, if it weren't for your brother, I really don't know what it would be like now." ”

Xiaomei Zhengse said, "Brother, now the battleship system has 20,000 taels of silver and nearly one million copper coins in storage. Brother, you are now a veritable rich man. ”

Li Zhongju smiled, touched Xiaomei's hair, looked into the distance, and became more and more determined. Li Zhongju talked to Xiaomei about some things again, and he walked in the direction of the Li family.

During the year of the Li family, the development was extremely rapid, the Li family purchased a large number of raw materials from the counties of Zhenyuan Prefecture, and then resold them to the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce to earn the profit difference in the middle, which is definitely not a small number.

Li Zhongju saw that Li Yaoshan was much more energetic than usual, "Li Lao is more and more energetic, and he said hello to Li Lao in his later life." ”

Li Yaoshan said with a smile, "Gongzi Li, all of this is not thanks to you, our Li family is just doing something." ”

Li Zhongju smiled threateningly, "Elder Li is polite, if it weren't for the strong support of the Li family, our Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce would not have the scale it has today." ”

Li Yaoshan said, "Li Gongzi, each other, our two families are making progress together, and working together is." Alas, in the course of this year, the Qing court signed treaties with France, Britain, Portugal, etc., and I felt very uncomfortable. ”

Li Zhongju said in a deep voice, "Li Lao's patriotism and concern for the people are very grateful in his later life. Li Lao rest assured, whatever is given out by the Qing court now, one day in the future, I will definitely let the Western powers spit it out with interest. ”

Li Yaoshan was shocked and incomparable, he was impressed by Li Zhongju's momentum, "Li Gongzi is righteous, the old man admires it to the extreme, Li Gongzi rest assured, no matter what choice you make in the future, our Li family is willing to stand on the same front with you." ”

Li Zhongju understood that this was the Li family's statement, and Li Zhongju was a little moved by the old man's outspokenness, this is the promise that the Li family gave himself, as long as there is this promise, even if he directly confronts the Qing court in the future, he has no worries.

Li Zhongju said with a straight face, "Elder Li, don't worry, before I do big things, I will definitely think carefully, and I will never bring a catastrophe to the Li family." ”

Li Yaoshan smiled knowingly, pouted his goatee and said, "For Li Gongzi, the old man is a hundred at ease." ”

Li Zhongju and Li Yaoshan talked a lot, all about how to save the country. When the two talk about orgasms, they laugh heartily.

On the way back to the Zhenwu Bureau, Li Zhongju found that people were basically smiling, full of confidence, and full of expectations for the future. Li Zhongju feels that everything he has done in the past year has been worth it.

As soon as Li Zhongju returned to the Zhenwu Dart Bureau, Liu Jiang ran over with an angry face, looking very angry, "Something happened to the boss." ”

Li Zhongju looked at Liu Jiang's panicked face, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, "Liu Jiang, what happened?" ”
