For several days, Wang Xuan took his sister Hua'er to wander around the city and outside the city.

Hua'er is very happy, often sweating profusely and never tired of it, but when she is really tired, she sticks to Wang Xuan and asks him to carry him away. Whenever she was coquettish, Wang Xuan had no power to resist, and she was simply doted on to the bones.

The reason why Wang Xuan wanders around is that he hopes to see the auspicious collar of today through his own eyes, be familiar with the laws of survival and nature in this era, understand people's daily life and needs, and explore the direction of auspicious future development.

To borrow a phrase from a great man, there is no voice without practice.

The Lord's Mansion is located in the southwest of the auspicious city, and the courtyard with two entrances, after entering from the gate, is the front yard, and the courtyard is planted with some flowers and plants, which are still in full bloom in the September weather, and it seems to be a gift for the end of the war.

The first house is the living place of the guards, and they are not allowed to enter the middle courtyard and the back yard without being called, and the middle courtyard has left and right wings, the left side is the kitchen and dining room, the right side is the maid's residence and storage room, and the main room is the bedroom and study of Wang Xuan and Hua'er.

The originally lively Lord's Mansion has long since decayed due to the invasion of Red Flame and the death of the elders one after another, with broken tiles and leaky wall panels, especially idle rooms.

Jixiang City is the only city in Jixiangling, was built ten years ago, completed in October of the 43rd year of the Xia Yuan calendar, one thousand meters long from east to west, five hundred meters wide from north to south, quadrangular, covers an area of about 0.5 square kilometers.

This small city has only two avenues, one horizontal and one vertical, and on both sides of the avenue are the gathering places of shops.

The so-called "avenue" is about four meters wide and made of stone slabs, and due to its disrepair, the road surface is uneven, and you can see the earth coming out from under the stone slabs from time to time, and the rain is always showing its tenacity.

The auspicious store is not large, and as far as the eye can see, it is basically all small storefronts.

Some of them are engaged in food and beverage stores, such as boiled shops and barbecue restaurants, some are engaged in shops such as the Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room, such as bookstores and pen shops, some are engaged in daily necessities, such as rice shops and salt shops, and there are other grocery stores, small restaurants, teahouses, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, and so on.

After a few turns, Wang Xuan found that these shops were dealing in some of the most basic goods, and even so, most of the goods were bought from Great Xia.

It is understood that about 100,000 people live in the vicinity of Jixiang City, usually farming and gathering for a living, and only when they need to go into the city to buy necessities.

Stretching south from Jixiang City, there are still more than 30,000 people living on the land of nearly ten kilometers along the Xingyao River, clearing trees and weeds, building houses, and building their humble homes with rough hands.

To the east of the Xingyao River, there are nearly 10,000 people living on the land opposite to Jixiang City, and they do not live along the river, but along the lake, with the Xingyao River on the left and Xingyao Lake in the north, and they also live a relatively primitive farming life.

Due to the hard work of land reclamation and the lack of meat, as time passed, the wild animals near the settlements were also hunted, and some skilled hunters went to the east and west mountains to live a wild and uninhibited primitive hunting life, and the detailed population number has always been a mystery.

The auspicious collar is only 60 kilometers from north to south, and the widest part of Xingyao Lake is only 50 kilometers from the left and right, and the whole is like a "A" character.

The largest river in the territory originates from Lake Xingyao, and flows into the sea from north to south in an "S" shape, and the auspicious river is also divided into two places: east and west of the river.

Xingyao Mountain is divided into two mountain ranges, east and west, the western mountain range extends from Jixiangling to the west, extends for nearly 100 kilometers and then turns to the north, until the middle of the Huyue Kingdom, the overall trend is in the shape of lightning.

The eastern mountain range is relatively gentle, extending from Jixiangling to the northeast, and gradually disappearing in the southern part of the Huyue Kingdom. It is customary for mascots to refer to the two mountains in their territory as "East Mountain" and "West Mountain".

Xingyao Lake, in the middle of the east and west mountain ranges, is the largest inland lake in the Xingyao Continent, about 300 kilometers long from east to west and 150 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers.

In this way, the auspicious collar was forcibly isolated from the mainland by mountains and lakes.

The climate here is pleasant all year round, the temperature difference is small, and it is common for rice to be harvested twice a year, but due to poor management and improper methods, the output is miserable.

As for the reason, Wang Xuan believes that the lack of materials due to poor communication and transportation with the hinterland has delayed the development of productive forces; coupled with extensive management, it has not been able to effectively increase the output of farmland; of course, there is also the most important one, the various tropical rainforest diseases that have to be faced in land reclamation.

Wang Xuan couldn't help but wonder, isn't it good to stay in Great Xia, why did he come all the way to this wild place to gamble his luck?

Zhao Sheng gave an answer to this question, Great Xia completed the unification in the autumn of 12 years ago, which was the moment for everyone to share the fruits of victory and enjoy honor, but the internal contradictions became increasingly fierce, and the civil war was about to break out.

The cruelty and necessity of the war of unification made these contradictions have no soil for growth, and when the war passed, this evil seed finally lost its shackles and began to take root.

The old king could not bear to kill the robes who fought side by side and made great achievements in the past, so he had to divide seventy percent of the country in exchange for the peaceful coexistence of everyone.

Wang Xuan's grandfather was a soldier with a cheerful personality, and he was reluctant to stay in the interior to choose sides, because that would mean that he would pull out the heroic blade that had terrified the enemy army, and threaten and intimidate his brother Paoze, who had fought side by side in the past. He couldn't bear it, let alone go to that point, so he resolutely chose to go south auspiciously, and some people who had been favored and protected by the royal family also decided to go south together.

The successive years of conquest have caused a large number of prisoners to be held, and there are still more than 10,000 after absorbing some internally. Seeing this, Wang Xuan's grandfather wrote a letter to intercede, and compiled it into Jixiang to become an auspicious leader, and the whole family moved to Jixiangling. This was the last thing he did for the kingdom.

The old king readily agreed, secretly grateful, and attached another condition: "You are all defeated people, and now my robe Ze intercedes for you, so that you can be exempted from the disaster of slaves, the decline of your life, and enjoy the special right, and now order his whole family to move to the auspicious realm, and never return." ”

Wang Xuan sighed when he heard this, no wonder Jixiang understood that there were many hunters, and no one returned to the inland with such heavy casualties, so it was.

With continuous exploration and understanding, he gradually understood the real reason for the invasion of Jixiang, and also understood the crux of Jixiang's poor communication with the mainland.

After listening to these secrets, Wang Xuan sighed, in the eyes of outsiders, the auspicious leader is actually an ominous place, which is really ironic. If that's the case, then why don't you have a golden finger, and if it's not good, you can also send a system to adjust the mood of life!

However, it is better to carefully ponder how auspiciousness should develop, this is the right thing.

He is an undergraduate in management, and has been working in a factory since graduation, engaged in manufacturing site management in the early stage, and changed careers to staff training in the later stage, so he instinctively used the situation analysis method.

In this way, it is possible to conduct a comprehensive, systematic and accurate study of the situation in which the research object is located, and to formulate corresponding development strategies, plans, and countermeasures based on the research results.

The advantage of auspiciousness lies in the geographical location, yes, its disadvantage has become an advantage after Wang Xuan's arrival, which Wang Xuan is very confident in.

The reconciliation with Chiyan would give Ji Xiang at least two years, and in these two years, Wang Xuan could do so much. Today's auspiciousness is like a blank piece of paper, waiting for the painter to paint it with colorful pictures.

The disadvantages are also obvious, the first is traffic, the quality of the road is poor, and it is even more muddy and difficult to walk on rainy days; the second is the plague of disease, snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants can bring fatal injuries to everyone, and the auspicious people who lack medical treatment and medicine cannot afford to be hurt; the third is education, without the flash of talent, the times can only carry the weight forward.

As for the opportunity, it should be in Wang Xuan himself, with a vision and insight beyond the times, plus a superior geographical environment in a remote corner to toss with him, as long as he can make an item for the next generation, wait to count the money.

It is often said that misfortune and fortune are relied on, and fortune and misfortune are lurking, once you become rich, there will be many greedy people like Chiyan who covet auspicious wealth, and if the auspicious person at that time does not have enough self-preservation power, it will fall into a place of no return.

After carefully summing it up, Wang Xuan found that the most important thing at present was to make money! After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a matter of course, as long as he kept a low profile, no one would care how much oil and water there would be in the auspicious place that almost died.

How can I make a lot of money? The answer is that no one has what I have, no one has my own essence, and the iron law that scarcity is precious has always been strong.

Which one should you do first, soap? Not now, there is no caustic soda, and there is still a shortage of oil.

Perfume? This has to have flavor, it has to have a high concentration of alcohol. The extraction of essential oils is not difficult, but the difficulty is the sealing process and related utensils, at least not for now, and in order to obtain high concentration of alcohol, it is necessary to buy inferior liquor from Daxia and distill it many times, or make its own liquor and then distill, either of which is not cheap.

In addition to screening experiments for glass and quartz sand, we also have to solve the high temperature of 2,000 degrees; if we want to solve the high temperature, we must have soda ash, but where is the soda ash? Even if liquid glass is made now, how to solve the problem of surface flatness? There are too many uncertain factors to toss for the time being.

After thinking about it a lot, Wang Xuan denied himself, and iron smelting is technically feasible, as long as the source of iron ore is solved. However, this initial investment is too high, Jixiang's current financial support is not enough, and the return cycle is too long, even if there is output, it is mainly used in the creation of agricultural tools and tools.

Forget it, Wang Xuan still thinks that firing porcelain is the most reliable, this is a high-quality industry with low investment, low threshold and high returns, and there should be no porcelain in Xingyao Continent.

Rather than action, he began to search his poor memory for the craft of porcelain-making.
