Everyone pondered carefully, and then understood Mi Zhu's hardship.

Tian Mu asked nervously: "Lord, is there a place suitable for large-scale papermaking in my Chengyang County in addition to Mengyin County?" ”

Liu Cun nodded: "Kunshan (now Jiaonan Wulian Mountain) located in the middle of Zhuxian, Juxian and Xihai, a radius of 100 miles is sparsely populated, and the alpine forest has not yet been developed, the southern and western foothills of the mountains have a large number of bamboo, wolfberry and other plants and trees needed for papermaking, coupled with the rich mulberry bark, straw and crop straw in the surrounding three counties, which is very suitable for the construction of a large-scale papermaking base. ”

Tian Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "That place is good, in the words of the lord, the forest coverage rate is as high as eighty percent, and it is in the mountainous area that has not yet been cultivated...... It's just that the traffic is inconvenient. ”

Gongsun Pei, who was familiar with Liu Cun's plan, explained with a smile: "No, no! Brother Mao Yuan (Tian Muzi) probably didn't look carefully, as long as a paper-making workshop was built at the southern or western foot of that mountain, it would be possible to connect the counties of 70 miles to the north, Ju County 90 miles to the southwest, and Xihai within 100 miles to the southeast, which would greatly promote the overall layout of agriculture and industry in Yangcheng County, and also open at least two large forest farms and woodcraft workshops, and reclaim at least 300,000 acres of land. ”

"The lord once said that the mountain is rich in clay and raw materials for making various ceramic glazes, and it is completely possible to build a large ceramic workshop, if it goes well, within two years, it will be an important industrial and commercial town comparable to Huangdao, but it lacks a seaport!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and when they thought about it, it was really so, with the skills of the lord Liu Cun, and with the huge financial resources and business of the Mi family, they would definitely be able to build that wilderness into a rich town.

Liu Cun turned to Tian Mu and Huo Jian: "This matter needs to be made by the two gentlemen as a whole, the sooner the better, and the rest will be completed by You'an and Zini." In order to avoid trouble, no city was built there, and even if 100,000 people lived there, it could only be called a village to the outside world, but it was necessary to build a military post station, a township office, and a military camp that could accommodate 500 officers and soldiers in the central hub. ”

"Yes!" Tian Mu and Huo Jian happily accepted the order.

At the end of the meeting, Liu Cun apologized to everyone, and hurried to the martial arts academy in the east gate with Ji Wei to teach.

Today, there are 27 instructors in various disciplines of the martial arts academy, and 100 students have completed eight months of study and training in military discipline and military law and infantry and cavalry martial arts, and have begun to enter the second stage of special study of basic military theories, war history and examples, infantry and cavalry drills, and coordinated tactics.

After Mi Zhu and the others were busy with their own affairs, they quietly came to the official room of Sun Pei, the prince of the county, and sat down on the chair in front of the huge desk after closing the door: "Mr. Botao, the little brother has something to ask for, please ask Mr. for a lot of help!" ”

Gongsun Pei brewed a cup of fragrant tea with wild chrysanthemum added to Mi Zhu, returned to the high chair and sat down, and tasted the teacup with a smile: "Zizhong is rare to be so polite!" If you have something, just say it. ”

Mi Zhu slowly leaned on the edge of the shiny rosewood table: "My sister Mihuan has admired Zijian for a long time, and my younger brother wants to ask my husband to help me be a month old." ”

Gongsun Pei was quite puzzled: "Zizhong didn't say hello to Master Zheng and Master Bing?" You must know that my lord admires Master Zheng and Master Bing the most! ”

"After saying hello, Master Zheng and Master Bing have already nodded, but they told the younger brother to talk to Mr. as well, as long as Mr. agrees to help, with Zijian's obedience and deep friendship with Mr., he will not refuse." Mi Zhu explained helplessly.

Gongsun Pei stroked the long beard on his chest and thought quietly, and only agreed for a long time, and then asked in a low voice, "Is Zizhong free in early May?" ”

"Although the younger brother is engaged in Xuzhou, he is still an idler, and there are more than 300 officials and officials in Xuzhou's Assassin Mansion, all of whom are corpse vegetarians, spending all day long drinking and waiting for death. The younger brother lacks ambition, lack of things to do, lack of management, lack of spirit, and lacks everything, but there is no lack of time. Mi Zhu nagged a lot with emotion.

Gongsun Pei couldn't help but smile: "You guy, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings!" Listen, my lord and Taishi Ziyi are brothers in life and death, and respect the old lady of Taishi as her own mother, even if you are busy, you will take time out every month to rush back to the home of Fenghuanggang to say hello, the eighth day of the fifth month is the birthday of the old lady, my lord will definitely put a birthday banquet in the Fenghuanggang mansion, it is estimated that it is the same as last year, only the brothers in the army and our close subordinates are invited to the banquet, but for the colleagues and families who take the initiative to congratulate the birthday, my lord is also warm and caring, if Zizhong has a heart, why not seize this opportunity, If the old lady can nod, this matter will not be difficult to achieve. ”

Mi Zhu was overjoyed, stood up and hurried away.

Gongsun Pei shook his head, took out the "Five-Year Development Outline of Chengyang County" in the drawer again, flipped to the "Road and Bridge Construction" section in the middle for a while, stood up and walked to the left wall, opened the dark curtain that was as heavy as a curtain, and pondered carefully against the huge "Qingxu Yanzhou Traffic Topographic Map" on the wall, and looked at it for half an hour before closing the curtain to cover the map, and returning to his seat with a sigh.

Chengyang County is changing day by day unconsciously, connecting the counties and townships under the rule of the three-thousand-mile official road expansion target has been completed by nearly half, the East Wucheng to Kaiyang Wangcheng 320-mile trunk road, Dongwu City to Xiahe City 120-mile trunk road, Dongwu City to Dongguan City 130-mile trunk road, have been completed and opened to traffic, the county's transportation hub location on the 30 military post stations have been put into operation, a year ago to go to Kaiyang Wangcheng, fast horses also have to go for two days, now take a wide and comfortable four-wheeled passenger carriage, only one and a half days to arrive.

The "Five-Year Development Outline of Chengyang County" drafted by the lord Liu Cun also included the construction of 300 bridges within five years.

Nineteen months have passed, 70 of the 300 bridges have been completed, and the goal of "concentrating funds and technology, focusing on the establishment of 20 large-scale workshops with an annual output value of 100,000 gold" in the outline has now been nine, and four are approaching this standard.

In addition, the "Langya Agricultural and Industrial School", which was initially derided by most scholars, has now become a famous institution that young people are vying to enter, and eight of the 12 counties in Chengyang County have achieved food self-sufficiency, and farmers are engaged in side businesses such as chicken and duck breeding or planting fruit trees while growing grain......

Gongsun Pei clearly remembers that when the lord Liu Cun took out the "Five-Year Development Outline of Chengyang County", he once said such a cruel sentence to him:

"Taoguang has been working hard for five years, if I can't complete more than eighty percent of the goals, it will prove that I am not worthy of being this lord, and then I will quietly leave this land where I was born and raised, and go overseas to find a small island to live this life!"

At that time, Gongsun Pei's heart was shocked and he was very worried, but only 19 months have passed, and the goal of the "Chengyang County Five-Year Development Outline" has been nearly half completed, and the huge power contained in Liu Cun has erupted, completely subverting the common sense of Gongsun Pei and others, prompting them to re-examine themselves and re-examine their life goals.
