Twenty-one gunshots rang out, and the conference officially began! There is no host's verbosity, and there is no leader's long burden. As a member of the judicial system, the village chief directly served the hard dishes.

“…… The country's ...... "I saw the village chief holding an iron horn made by the machinery factory and began his preaching in a colorful voice," ...... Whether your fields are occupied, people are beaten, or your shops are smashed, even if the prefect does it himself, you can go directly to the Criminal Department to file a complaint......"

"Alright, let's vote!"

After listening in a daze, Uncle Pei didn't figure out what the situation was, and his hand was stuffed with a piece of white paper produced by Chenguang Paper Factory and a charcoal pen produced by China Charcoal Factory.

The same situation was played out in different places, which made the village chief vomit blood when he publicly sang the votes, and found that the "National Canon" was unanimously approved by the "500 public judges" on the spot, and he did not even receive any feedback in the "other opinions" column.

After the experience of the first vote, the "Tax Law", "Chamber of Commerce Law", "Property Law" and "Trademark Law" promulgated later were passed even faster.

Taking advantage of the excitement, the newly formed parliament elected government officials on the spot. The highlight of this time came, first of all, the most important parliamentary prime minister, who was the supreme ruler in the entire Anxi, and Li Da was elected with a unanimous vote under the condition that he had already made a predetermined decision.

Subsequently, the high-level leaders of the "Zhongshu Province (State Council)", the "Criminal Department (Court)" and the "Yushitai (Procuratorate)" were also "elected" in minutes. Among them, the original magistrate Zhao Shan became the "Zhongshu Order" of Zhongshu Province, and Zhang Guanghua and Lu Guangfu and others were elected as "Zhongshu Shilang", in fact, this is also Zhang Guanghua's own meaning, the management of the government is trivial and trivial, and he is very comfortable to be a "vice premier" who plays soy sauce quietly.

The secretary of the criminal department is still Huang Kaizheng, who was the original treasurer of the prison, but the imperial historian is served by the village head, and letting the village head lead the "procuratorate" is a choice recognized by everyone.

At noon, the conference ended, firecrackers rang out, and members had a dinner. I thought that everyone would be arguing for a day, and then Zhang Guanghua, who ranked first and seventh, was completely speechless, it turned out that the most efficient people were the ancients.

In the afternoon, Zhang Guanghua, who had just been supported by the law, immediately held the first fundraising meeting to raise 49% of the shares of the Guanghua General Chamber of Commerce, with a total price of 20,000 taels of silver (10 million), which was carefully calculated by Zhang Guanghua, and the existing fixed assets of the Chamber of Commerce were valued at 11 million, accounting for 51% of the shares.

Those who were able to attend the fundraising meeting were generals who made significant contributions to the uprising, craftsmen who had made great contributions to the Chamber of Commerce, and current magistrates who represented the county government. Except for the county government, everyone automatically gets a small part of the equity according to the size of the merit, and the other part depends on everyone's real money to buy it.

Unsurprisingly, all the shares thrown out were snapped up by everyone, and the biggest boss among them was naturally the county government, and then Li Da, Lu Guangfu and Shen Li, Li Da and Lu Guangfu have looted a lot of good things for themselves after each siege, and Shen Li is the manager of the Chamber of Commerce has received a lot of bonuses in the past few months, and he has also taken on a lot of private work.

After the fundraising was completed, Zhang Guanghua led everyone from the temporary stock exchange next to the county government to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and asked Shen Li to report to everyone in detail on the financial statements.

Watching Shen Li draw on the blackboard the fixed assets and monthly profits of Zhenhua General Chamber of Commerce, Liguo Steel Mill, Machinery Factory, Weapons Factory, Cement Factory, Paper Mill, Pencil Factory, Craftsman College and Overseas Trade Chamber of Commerce, everyone was stunned, how many dividends will there be at the end of the year, and according to Shen Li, as long as the scale of the Chamber of Commerce continues to expand, the stocks in their hands will continue to appreciate, and the Chamber of Commerce also promised them that they will guarantee the recovery of the original price at any time.

If the financial statements only made them excited, then the next inspection trip of the "board of directors" to Kametani completely stunned them.

At this time, a month had passed since the first bag of cement left the factory, and Zhang Guanghua first took them to the "Conch Cement Factory" production base outside the city.

"What a beautiful view!" Li Xinlan, who followed the village chief, couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the rows of brown waterwheels that flowed with the water in front of her and the white windmills that gently rotated with the wind.

Different from the scene of smoke in the kiln area, the gravel area is warm and harmonious. More than a dozen groups of machinery customized from the machinery factory are lined up by the Xixi River, with a unified system and a unified color, giving people a strong shock.

"If you look ahead, the raw materials of our cement plant will be ground into powder here with water and wind power, and then burned into cement in the kiln area on the right. Some of the cement produced is made directly into cement bricks and prefabricated slabs here, while the other part is sent directly to the city walls to be watered. Shen Li, who was in charge of the reception, flexibly acted as a "tour guide" at this time.

"Then we went back to the city to inspect the steel mills and machine factories, and on the way back we took a look at the cement walls."

"Wow! It's spectacular! Not only Li Xinlan, but many people also made such an exclamation. The city walls of the entire county town are all reinforced with steel and concrete structures, and at a glance, they look like a long gray dragon. Coupled with the dark forts and barbed wire fences scattered outside the city, it even gives people the illusion that the entire county is a steel beast.

"With the help of cement, our walls have been completely repaired, and the quality and strength are better, and now our craftsmen have started to build a second layer of walls, which will double the size of the entire county, and the new walls will include all the land and hills, including the cement plant, and it is expected to be completed by the end of the year." Shen Li followed everyone up to the city wall panting, and then continued his explanation.

After entering the city, when everyone came to the Turtle Valley, they saw the waterwheels by the river and the windmills in the valley. But what they don't know is that the waterwheels and windmills here are not used to crush stone, but to drive machine tools.

It turned out that during the period of waiting for the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce to be repaired, Zhang Guanghua not only developed a batch of micrometers and other measuring tools, but also drew drawings for the machinery factory to manually make several simple machine tools. Among them were thread lathes with knives, planers for slotting weapons with blood grooves, grinding machines for cutting edges, and boring machines for rifling arquebuses and barrels.

Originally, he wanted to make a milling machine that could perform plane operations, but he found it too difficult to get this thing out, so he had to give up. Fortunately, with the planer, the general machining is enough, which is more interesting is that the knives of those lathes, planers and boring machines are made by blacksmiths by hand, in fact, the ancient blacksmiths have already mastered a high quenching technology, can produce knives with high strength, if it is not too inefficient, how can there be a steel mill.

After turning around in Turtle Valley, Li Xinlan was completely shocked and speechless.

tall chimneys, smoking blast furnaces used to make iron; Orange-red Cheng Liang, a rotating converter containing molten iron; Neatly arranged, endless steel billet molds; This is Liguo Steel Mill.

The walls are plastered with drawings, the machines in the workshop are roaring, and the craftsmen are measuring parts with micrometers, which is the Liguo Machinery Factory.

Arquebuses are assembled in turns, bullets are polished and packed with gunpowder, bows and crossbows are drawn and painted, and swords are slotted and sharpened.

Trees are peeled, machine is cut, lime is cooked, cleaned and filtered, water is added to form, drying and powdered, cutting and cutting, this is Chenguang Paper Mill.

Charcoal selection, wood processing, glue bonding, packaging into boxes, this is China Charcoal Factory.

After looking at these factories in Kametani, all shareholders have been conquered by the efficiency brought by mechanized production. In particular, Li Da and Lu Guangfu were even more eager to tow all the weapons away on the spot when they visited the weapons factory.

If in Kametani, what everyone sees is technical strength, then when everyone comes to the wharf, what they see is economic strength.

I saw that in the warehouse of the wharf, there were piles of Anxi tea, Dehua ceramics, Xianyou cane sugar and Yongchun cotton cloth and other specialties. The boatmen are going back and forth to carry supplies to the cargo ship, and then hold the boat all the way down the river. The lower reaches of the Xixi River are Quanzhou, and these materials were prepared by Zhang Guanghua for secret trade with Quanzhou's Amiliding. Without the intervention of the Yuan army and the stimulation of zero trade tariffs, Amiliddin and Zhang Guanghua both made a lot of money.

After the inspection was completed and dinner was over, Zhang Guanghua left the generals of the army alone, and the final highlight came, that is, the test firing of weapons.

At the foot of the mountain, watching boxes of new arquebuses moved to the shooting range, Shen Li and Lu Guangfu couldn't wait to rush up.

"Strategist, this is the new firearm you've been building for a long time? How can it be so well-made? As soon as Shen Li got the gun in his hand, he immediately felt the difference, which was completely different from the "quasi-arquebus" that was rebuilt from the old firecracker.

Under the guidance of the craftsmen, Shen Li led his generals to finish a whole box of ammunition until all the barrels of the guns were red.

When it came to testing explosives packs and grenades, the happiest were the two Huang brothers, one of whom was a theoretical expert and the other was an explosives expert. Igniting the fuse, they all opened their mouths in surprise when the explosives package blew the pre-solidified steel-concrete bunker to pieces.

When the grenades were also thrown, everyone thought that the test launch was over.

"Huh! You see, what is that? Suddenly, a sharp-eyed general saw several craftsmen leading a carriage covered with red cloth, and called out in surprise.

"This is the city defense weapon I developed, the red-clothed cannon!" Zhang Guanghua walked over and lifted the red cloth and said proudly.

Only then did Shen Li and the others see that there was an arquebus that had been magnified countless times on the carriage, and their faces all changed greatly, how many people would they have to kill if this one went on!

This time, no one dared to go up and move around, and Huang Da, the maker of the cannon, took it upon himself to do it. Gunpowder and solid bullets were loaded in an orderly manner, and Huang Da immediately covered his ears after igniting the fire.

"Bang!" It was as if the earth began to shake.

Not long after, there was another "bang", and I saw that the dust on the opposite mountain wall was flying, and a whole boulder had been hit, and then the ashes were extinguished.

"Wow!"
