Mr. Gu is an anxious man, and he can't wait for the grain and oil plant to be completed and put into operation immediately to produce economic benefits.

He is in a hurry, he wants to use the only two years to do as much practical and good things as possible for the people of Hedong.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue to carry this burden, but he has more than enough heart and no strength. The old man knew that even if Wang Xuan didn't agree with him on a two-year period, he wouldn't have enough energy to carry this burden after two years!

When we were young, we always wanted to grow up quickly, because when we grew up, we could wear fashionable clothes, go in and out of "patented" places, we could go home late or even at night, or we could go out on our own, we could make decisions on our own behalf and do things according to our own preferences, although we didn't know what the outcome would be!

Because at that time, we believed in a sentence that youth is capital, so we instinctively thought that youth was the capital to make mistakes.

When we think we are in the prime of our youth, time flies, and we are not at all as shy and shy as we felt when we were children, so that we don't even have a chance to catch its ropes!

When we think we are in the prime of life, in fact, the prime of life is far away from us, and we can only hope for a nice sunset red.

We used to complain that time is too slow, so that we can't enjoy more beautiful scenery, but now we lament that time is too fast, and we miss many scenery. Those fleeting memories only exist in a few memories, and as time passes, they die out. In fact, we are all passers-by of time......

The old man is still writing and painting under the oil lamp, the words were learned in the mosquito coil factory half a year ago, when the Ministry of Education arranged for the old gentlemen to go to the grassroots level to exert their residual heat, teaching everyone to read and write, many elderly people have spontaneously learned, as if to make up for the regrets of their youth.

In fact, the old man knew that in the past, he was not even qualified to stand outside the window and listen, everything was divided into high and low, and the status of the poor was ranked third from the bottom, so he cherished this opportunity and did everything he could to absorb knowledge.

The old man is now depicting the site and construction plan of the grain and oil factory.

Wang Xuan has already drawn the specific architectural layout, and even the area of each workshop, the number of workers, and even the production capacity are clearly depicted.

The old man knew that the Lord was worried that he would work too hard for this, so he tried to make the plan as detailed as possible. Despite this, the old man still wrote and calculated over and over again, counting the application of inch by inch of land, and calculating the number of workers one by one.

At the end of the month, Wang Xuan's one hundred King Kong finally had a four-day holiday.

It rained heavily at the end of September, and the cancellation of the holiday accumulated until October, when Wang Xuan also sent someone to the Hedong Town Government to inform these children of the news of the cancellation of the September holiday.

Yang Guang and Er Ya took a change of clothes and followed Wang Xuan's internal guards to the Xingyao River.

Along the way, people, whether they were government employees, businessmen, or markets, all took the initiative to give way. It's not a cowardly avoidance, it's a genuine respect!

Since the 100 were selected, they have only been home once at the end of August, and that's just as well, with the interior defender opening the way.

At that time, everyone couldn't help but pay attention to the children's waist cards: "Phoenix School Phase I, Wang Xuan." After seeing this scene again and envious of others' waist cards, I didn't feel that the combination was strange, and they all smiled with friendship and envy.

In the eyes of the people, these coquettes are all selected by thousands of people, and they are Wenqu stars. They will eventually become the darlings of Jixiang, inherit the expectations of the young master, and develop Jixiang more beautiful and powerful.

However, if you choose between "beautiful" and "powerful", 99 percent of the lords will choose "strong"! Because the former feud cannot be let go, the blood feud between the two former lords still needs blood to be repaid!

Now everyone is also waiting silently, Xu is three years, Xu is five years, it depends on whether the young master can have this blood, and he will be ashamed.

Along the way, Yang Guang and Erya all enjoyed special treatment, and they seemed to be no different from Wang Xuan. The local people did not discriminate against them because they were outsiders and had slave status, but still treated them like their sons and nephews, and some passers-by encouraged them from time to time to study hard and work hard to build a new auspiciousness!

To say that it is false not to be moved, what kind of lord will have what kind of people!

The guards escorted him to the Hedong Security Office, and after completing the handover procedures, they returned to Jixiang City, and they had to hand over to the Lord's Mansion!

Yang Guang, Er Ya and the other 20 or so students registered and returned to their respective homes.

At noon, Yang Guang knocked on the door.

"Son, you're back, mother, look at it, he's taller and stronger, come in quickly!"

At this time, Yang Guang ninja burst into tears and obediently followed his mother into the hall.

Yang Er was chopping firewood in the backyard, and when he saw his son coming back, he was also happy and said: "Come back, last month, your aunt heard that it was raining heavily and you didn't go home, and cried for a while, hehe, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

Yang Er was about to express the lovesickness between men again, but he was repelled by a look from his wife and honestly picked vegetables.

"Guang'er, can you eat okay this time? The weather is a little cold, the bedding lady has made a set of thick ones, you can bring them when you go back, the humidity is high at night, but you can't catch a cold." Your father and I live a very fulfilling life every day, eating and drinking well, but sometimes I always think of you. We don't know how you're doing, your father always says that your mother is not promising, phew! When my mother doesn't know, he always talks behind my back on your admission papers. My mother is happy to see you now, the black is a little darker, but it is also a lot stronger. Mother has no knowledge, and I don't know what kind of future you have, my mother and father only hope that you can grow up healthy and healthy, and marry a good daughter-in-law to inherit our old Yang family......"

Yang Guang listened to his mother's nagging quietly, feeling very down-to-earth, as solid as going deep into the bone marrow!

He will definitely do his mother's requirements, but he now has a higher pursuit, but his father and mother can no longer understand the lofty and noble goals of his future goals, which is the leading of thought, but also the transcendence of ideas.

Following Wang Xuan for a quarter, Yang Guangguang learned the most not how much advanced knowledge he mastered, but the development concept that far exceeded the modern level.

Sunshine has a very clever mind, and since he learned that Jixiang had abolished slavery, he has taken it home, which seems so absurd and rash to outsiders, but he has always been willing to eat it, and even snickered at his own foresight.

During dinner, Yang's father asked Yang Guang many questions about his studies, as if he didn't care about his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Yang's mother kept looking at her on the side, wanting her husband to ask more about her son's life, but unfortunately Yang's father's rough branches and leaves failed to understand Yang's mother's concern.

Seeing this, Yang Guang took the initiative to explain the study and living conditions of the past two months, and told the second elder that he and his classmates had eaten well and lived well, and the young master also took them to inspect the construction of the new city many times, and benefited a lot; Yang Guang also told the example of the punishment of Supervisor Miao, which provoked Yang's mother to applaud and applaud!

Just after dinner, Mayor Gu came to visit Yang Er's house, which made Yang Er's family extremely excited, and hurriedly introduced the old mayor into the house to sit down.

The old man is very simple, I don't know if the auspicious officials are all up and down, and Wang Xuan generally speaks neatly and neatly, not dragging mud and water, he directly said that he wants to invite Yang Guang to Hedong Academy to give a speech the day after tomorrow!

What is a speech? Yang Er's family, or the first and second batches of "immigrants", could not be clearer, that was the moment of "long face".

Is it okay for your own son?

The old couple couldn't help but hesitate.

The old man took in the expressions of the two, so he explained with a smile: "This time, Yang Guang has transformed from a former slave to a current lord student, and the magical experience can inspire the children's enterprising spirit the most; second, it also promotes the feat of the lord to implement benevolent government and love the world; third, I also hope that Sunshine can set an example for the children of the academy, so that everyone can learn from each other, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and at the same time let them see the demeanor of the lord's protégé, so as not to warp their tails!"

As soon as he said this, Father Yang and Mother Yang smiled happily, the old man is really cute!

However, Yang Er still symbolically solicited Yang Guang's opinion, and then readily agreed to the old mayor's request.

Yang Guang was full of emotion about this, and unconsciously his position in the family had begun to become important, and he also needed to bear more pressure accordingly!

On the second day, Yang Guang had nothing to do, so he walked along Mosquito Street and enjoyed the scenery on the side of the road.

Not to mention, even though it has only been seen for two months, the road has become cleaner and tidier, and this is a dirt road, and now there are no clumps of weeds.

Unconsciously, I came to Hedong Avenue, the trees on both sides of the road have shown vitality, although the road surface has not been paved with stones, but it is difficult to hide the smooth surface of the river.

Walking all the way, I came to the mosquito coil factory after a short time, and at this time the two poles were settling accounts with a pen to record the number of mosquito repellent chrysanthemums in this transaction. After seeing the sun, he curiously stepped forward to inquire about Yang Guang's study in Jixiang City, and Yang Guang made the two poles envious after an explanation, and then fell into a deep complaint, thinking that the world was unfair.

Yang Guang did not enlighten him, and he did not have the right to enlighten him.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, a failure is not the end, what is needed is to sum up the lessons and be brave after shame. Blindly complaining about others will not bring any positive changes to the trajectory of life, but will only allow you to go further and further down the narrower and narrower road.

After bidding farewell to the second pole, Yang Guang went all the way north along Hedong Avenue, and there were more carriages on the road, some carrying bricks, some transporting stones, some transporting mosquito coils, and some transporting coal.

In the north of the mosquito coil factory, east of Hedong Avenue, Sunshine found that a new restaurant had opened here, which was three stories high. The spacious courtyard was full of all kinds of carriages, and the servants were busy waiting for the passing guests.

This is not the Li family's industry or the Guo family's industry, and these two are the only ones who can occupy such a prime location in Hedong.

A hundred meters further north is Hunan East Road, which is close to Xingyao Lake and is full of simple board houses, and the lake is also full of cargo boats of different sizes. Yang Guang counted carefully, and there were as many as sixty, most of which were small and medium-sized boats. The large ones are coal carriers, and the small and medium-sized ones are private ships that come to buy goods from foreign merchants.

Most of the simple board houses by the lake are two-story style, some have opened taverns, some have opened restaurants, and some have opened inns, all the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation are everything. Yang Guang really didn't expect that it would form a lot of popularity in this kind of place, and I am afraid that the development space here will not be small in the future.

The east-west Hunan East Avenue is as spacious, smooth and atmospheric as Hedong Avenue, and the coconut trees on both sides are more majestic and mighty!

In the early morning of the third day, Yang's mother prepared breakfast early and made full preparations for Yang Guang's speech. After the meal, the couple sent Yang Guang to the door of Hedong Academy, but unfortunately they did not have the right to enter.

Yang Guang saw Erya, his nervous mood calmed down a little, and then he was the first to speak on stage according to the request of Mayor Gu.

"Students, or juniors, I should be a lot older than you, but it doesn't matter. What I'm going to say next may cause you discomfort, so please forgive me for now. I came to Jixiangling in March, as a slave, and our family was taken care of here. I don't know who to thank, the neighbors need to be thanked, the team leader and the village chief need to be thanked, the town government needs to be thanked, the auspicious lord government needs to be thanked, and the young master lord needs to be thanked...... I was confused. ”

"Thank you, Young Master, Lord ......"

"Thank you, Young Master, Lord ......"

The voices came and went, and even the officials of Jianye Town who came to attend the speech ceremony echoed it!

Yang Guang naturally understood that all this was not so much brought by the mascot as the young master lord. Who would share with others the land they had worked so hard to develop? What is it that is not a feat that has never been done before?

But Yang Guang also understands another thing, Jixiang's strategy of preferential treatment of outsiders will not last long, as Jixiang's fame increases, there will be more and more outsiders pouring into Jixiang, and it will have a huge impact on a generation of mascots.

"I am not a second-generation pioneer who was born and grew up in Jixiang, but I think I am one of the people who love Jixiang the most, because Jixiang has given me dignity, given me freedom, given me the opportunity to be educated, and given me the opportunity to be a new person. ”

There was another round of applause.

"Excuse my offense, I don't know if any of you here have ever been slaves, it was a dark day with no tomorrow and no future. My greatest wish at that time was to be able to see the sunrise tomorrow! To be honest, it was our greatest wish to see the sun tomorrow. We look forward to it, we work hard, just for the slim chance of self-redemption! But what we are looking forward to in the end is ruthless oppression, and then abandonment, we have no hope!"

The scene sighed at one point!

"You don't understand what we've been through, it's going to be too cruel for me to talk about it.

For you, it may be the devil, it is hell! We were desperate to understand this endless torture and pain, even if there was a chance to get out of slavery and become human again, we were willing to pay hundreds of millions of sweat and blood.

When I first came to the auspicious time, I really envied you, you have a good lord, he is kind, he is loving, he is willing to eat chaff for everyone, and now he is also my lord.

At present, the first phase of the new city is planned to give priority to the construction of the government affairs yuan, what is the government affairs yuan for? We have built a school and a technical college, but the lord's palace has not moved! The financial income of auspicious in the past year, I tell you, is nearly 400,000 gold coins! These gold coins are not in the lord's pocket, there is not a penny there, and all of them are spent!

Where to spend it? 120,000 gold coins were spent on foreign purchases, which is equivalent to the sum of all the fiscal revenues of the previous 12 years. The construction of the first phase of the new city cost nearly 200,000 gold coins, the construction of the school building cost 30,000 gold coins, the civil servant salary cost nearly 5,000 gold coins, and the monthly expenses were nearly 2,000 gold coins.

I and many people have studied with the young master, and the most important thing the young master said is to think more and have a sense of the overall situation.

He asks us not to run away when we encounter difficulties, but to analyze and solve them, and finally to seek help from others.

Therefore, in terms of learning, I think the same is true, we should see more, think more, ask more, do more, and summarize more.

Finally, I hope we can become classmates at Phoenix College, thank you. ”

This is why Wang Xuan's disciple dares to speak so bluntly, and another old man will teach him to be a man in minutes.

Afterwards, the old man called Yang Guang, and the grandparents chatted for a while.

Although Yang Guang is not very old, he also understands the old man's intentions, so he speaks to the old man everywhere!

The old man naturally knew the taste, so he expressed his importance to Yang Guang in his letter to Wang Xuan! Wang Xuan would naturally take care of the old man's mood, but he couldn't let Yang Guang swell, so he only said that he felt the same way and would cultivate it carefully.

Yang Guang declined everyone's invitation and walked alone on the land of Hedong, all the things that happened during this vacation gave him a great impact, and he needed to be quiet and take care of his thoughts.

In the afternoon, there are more people than cars on Mosquito Street, which is the main road leading from one village to the other four villages, and it is also the only way for brick factories and quarries to be transported.

Below Mosquito Street is the village square, the seat of the village committee and the town government, and it is only about a kilometer away from the Xingyao River.

Yang Guang is now walking south along Hedong Avenue, at this time the light rain in the sky has gradually increased, but there is no water on the road, and there is blue light everywhere, without any sense of disobedience!

The family had a sumptuous dinner with chicken and fish. Yang Er and his wife looked at their gobbling son, and became more and more proud.

Before returning to the city, the old mayor came to Yang Er's house as a guest, which made Yang Er very moved, which is the best interpretation of the locals' recognition of outsiders!

Yang Guang doesn't care about the meaning behind these actions, but for outsiders, the meaning is heavier than Mount Tai!

The old mayor stayed for lunch for the first time, thanked Yang Guang for his wonderful speech, and expressed his expectations for Yang Guang's future.

For Yang Guang, auspiciousness is his new place, where he can feel the breath of his hometown and the warmth of his relatives, which is an experience that has never been experienced in other places. With such a territory that understands him, tolerates him, and cultivates him, he has no reason not to love her!

The only thing he can do is to study hard in the hope that he will be able to bring more choices to Jixiang's development in the future.

As for the economic model of the family, Yang Guang directly put forward his opinions, and now Jixiang takes the large-scale development as the benchmark pace, and the living materials are in short supply. Therefore, Yang Guang hopes that his father and mother will change the rented land to vegetables to meet the needs of Jixiangcheng. And the development of Hedong is also so fast, the demand for vegetables will continue to rise, whether it is Jixiangcheng or Hedong, are high-quality customers, this is a profitable deal.

Vegetable farming is easier than grain farming, and it also gives parents more time to rest.

Yang Er was troubled by traditional concepts, how could he dare to gamble so much, so he had to consult the old mayor.

Mr. Gu agreed with Yang Guang's suggestion and said that this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and the town government can invest in support!

Yang Er has not yet become an official leader, but the family of three has always been law-abiding, conscientious and hardworking, and his performance can be described as extremely dazzling. The old man also gave the green light in order to promote this matter, and the significance behind this is too significant!

After getting the support of the old man, Yang Er made up his mind to plant all the fifteen acres of rented land with vegetables.

Yang Guang knows that the balance between supply and demand is important.

Another sentence is that the most important thing is to take the lead.

Subsequently, the Hedong Jianye Town Government properly handled the preparations before and after. After Wang Xuan learned about it, he only expressed his appreciation for everyone's determination and attitude to start a business, and nothing else.

The eve of light is the darkest, but the darker the twilight, the brightest stars in the sky.

Now, the darkness before dawn has passed, and the footsteps of auspicious pursuit of the sun are unstoppable.
