For several days in a row, Wang Xuan picked up Hua'er from school on time, which caused quite a stir, and Hua'er complained that the children were unwilling to play with her. Considering the needs of children's growth, Wang Xuan no longer insisted on it, but only occasionally took it once or twice.

Zhao Sheng and several committee members discussed for a long time, and made a list of transactions according to auspicious needs, and presented it to Wang Xuan.

At the beginning of the list, I agreed to Hu Yue's request that Jixiang would train 200 children for Hu Yue every year by Fenghuang Primary School, and 100 adults over the age of 15 would be trained by Jixiang Technical College, and all expenses during the period would be borne by Hu Yue.

In exchange, Hu Yue provided 1,000 sheep, 200 cows, and 100 war horses to Jixiangling free of charge every year, and the baking soda in its territory was supplied to Jixiangling free of charge.

In addition, Jixiang has the right to prospect and mine in Huyue, and once it decides to mine, it enjoys the most preferential price treatment.

As for the trade between the two sides, it is also listed in detail that Jixiang can export soap, porcelain, mosquito coils, furniture, all kinds of handicrafts, etc. to Hu Yue, and at the same time import wool, sheepskin, dairy cows, cowhides and other products from Hu Yue, which can be traded for gold coins or bartered.

Finally, it is noted that both parties to commercial transactions have the right to purchase freely, and neither party shall make up reasons to intervene or restrict, and the two sides shall send representatives to each other to handle business and government affairs. Of course, this is not a treaty, but only an expression of attitude, reflecting mutual respect and trust.

After Wang Xuan read it carefully, he did not change a word, this list is just an auspicious unilateral appeal, and the key depends on Hu Yue's attitude.

At the end of March, Jixiang and Hu Yue's envoy Xin Yue launched formal negotiations, in addition to the above conditions, Xin Yue asked Jixiang to buy a large number of enlightenment books, all kinds of poetry and songs, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, travel biographies, etc., Hu Yue will be purchased at a price higher than 50% of the market. Wang Xuan agreed without hesitation, and at the same time asked the other party to provide 100 herdsmen to move into Jixiang and engage in herding and horse breeding.

In the end, the two sides agreed to immediately exchange emissaries and take full authority over all matters other than the declaration of war.

That night, in order to celebrate, Wang Xuan invited Xin Yue to a banquet, and ordered someone to take fifteen bottles of 500 milliliters of liquor containing about 40 degrees from the basement of the Government Affairs Yuan, open five bottles on the spot, and the remaining ten bottles were counted as Wang Xuan's personal gifts and presented to the lord of Hu Yue. At this time, the liquor has been cellared for more than a month, the taste is no longer spicy and choking, Xin Yue drank a small sip, his eyes lit up, praised repeatedly, and put forward a request to purchase liquor from Jixiang on the spot.

Wang Xuan agreed, Zhao Sheng and the officials also secretly smacked their tongues, and said in their hearts that this young master is doing line by line, this wine is clear and transparent, without wine residue and foreign matter, etc., smelling mellow and sweet, like a flame swallowing into the belly, tumbling endlessly. Only half a glass is worth a jar of ordinary wine, a real jade liquid elixir. So under the leadership of Zhao Sheng, everyone asked Wang Xuan for this wine with the strength of wine, and Wang Xuan had to give each person two catties of liquor, and by the way, he sent two ceramic wine bottles, even Xin Yue was no exception, which made him very happy.

The next day, Xin Yue set out with the first envoy sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Hu Yue.

To say that this gold and silver in this secular world, the role is still huge, before and after less than three months, the waterway passage from auspicious to Hu Yue has been opened, along the river should be checkpoints, forces are also properly managed, it is difficult to repeat, no matter which level changes, will become the enemy of other levels and forces, after all, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. This is the true portrayal of Great Xia at present, for the sake of money, you can sell everything, including your conscience and dignity.

At present, there are only two classes in the first grade, that is, Wang Xuan's One Hundred King Kong, and primary school students will be officially recruited in September. Liang Luo and Wang Yi teach in the school on weekdays, and they go to the designated school for two days a week to teach, so that every child can listen to the teachings of the doctoral professor, which can be regarded as fulfilling Wang Xuan's original promise.

In their spare time, everyone studied the compilation and improvement of teaching materials, they were the first batch of teaching and research personnel, affiliated to the Ministry of Education, Zheng Xingxing was a treasure to them, so they almost burned an incense burner.

The villa has been completed, and everyone has moved out of the plate factory, each looking for their own housewarming, so lively.

Now it can no longer be called a board factory, it should be 'Jixiang Furui Wood Products Factory', and the board factory is now only one of the branches. The name was given by Wang Xuan, and it can be seen from the naming of the various buildings in the new city renovation that he hopes that Jixiang can really be 'auspicious'.

Not far to the west of the villas of the Hunan masters, the research institute has broken ground, and Qian Duoduo will come here every day to take a turn, for fear of missing the bits and pieces of the construction process.

The enrollment of Jixiang Technical College has begun, and the first batch of new students will undergo a three-month literacy and hyphenation training, which will officially open in September, when Hu Yue's first batch of international students will also be in place. The recruitment of guest lecturers for factories and construction teams has also begun, and the competition is fierce, and the title of guest lecturer is not only an affirmation of one's skills, but also one of the shortcuts to increase income and improve social status.

The headquarters building of the military department and the research institute started construction on the same day, and the land leveling and road repairs in the early stage were all contracted to civilian construction enterprises, and the engineering units took over after the preparatory work was completed.

In the busy agricultural season, the labor force everywhere is insufficient, but the construction of Hunan West Road still started as scheduled, and the first batch of 2,000 free people were summoned by Wang Xuan, and they worked day and night on the front line of road construction, managing food and housing, as well as wages, and the new immigrants rarely complained.

After the completion of the Dongshan Pass project, the Jijian Second Bureau began to build a bridge across the river under the leadership of Lu Fang.

All kinds of raw materials, tools and auxiliary facilities have long been in place, so when the Jijian Second Bureau took over, they directly entered the main project. There is a "tower crane" on each side of the river, which is convenient for the construction of two places at the same time, and there are six sections of the bridge deck, three on each side, with the same shape and material.

When the merchants on Hunan East Road heard that the bridge was built today, they called their friends to come and watch, blocking the perimeter of the cordon. Some local people who are engaged in small business also came to watch, and it is not a simple matter to build a bridge on the Xingyao River, and they are eager to witness the construction process of the bridge and witness the birth of this historical moment.

When the tower crane rotated slowly, lifted the bridge deck weighing several tons in sections, and accurately placed it on the two bridge piers, the onlookers were silent, like a wooden chicken, and they were all shocked by this miraculous operation.

Compared with the mascot, the foreign businessman is even more unbearable, the mascot still knows some new methods of building bridges, and even some people have witnessed it with their own eyes when building the Luofeng Bridge.

Because it is the construction of both sides of the river at the same time, so the speed is extremely fast, just one day's effort, nearly 30 meters wide on the river surface, there is a giant dragon, it spans the east and west, communicates both sides, the momentum is magnificent, from then on, the exchange between the two sides of the strait will become more convenient and comfortable.

Some of the people were emotional, and they cried on the spot, hugged each other and wept, and a group of foreign businessmen gradually came back to their senses, constantly admiring the auspicious and ingenious bridge building skills, and from time to time cast envious eyes.

Wang Xuan witnessed this historical moment throughout the whole process, and he saw not only a bridge, but also an auspicious light and future. Under the emotional agitation, he personally named the bridge 'Times Bridge', which will become the first business card of auspiciousness and be remembered by the world.

Five days later, the Times Bridge was officially put into use, and for several days, regardless of whether there was a need to cross the bridge, they went back and forth many times. The leaders of Chengnan District and Liuyinhe District also came to see the outstanding style of the bridge one after another, and looked forward to the completion of their new bridge as soon as possible.

Cassiterite ore was successively transported to the steelworks, which were commissioned by the glass factory to extract tin from the cassiterite ore. The method is simple and crude, reducing the ore with carbon, using the low melting point of tin to melt and precipitate. Once the non-ferrous metal smelter is built, the work will be carried out there.

The glass factory and the mirror factory have started trial production, the customized tin pot of the hardware factory has arrived, the boxy iron box has no cover, the bottom is the combustion chamber, the two can be separated, when the need for cooling, the combustion chamber can be removed directly.

The glass factory produced the glass on ordinary windows in the early stage, which was small in area and simple to make, after all, there was no glass knife yet, and the cutting of glass was still a problem. There is no shortage of diamonds, but it is not easy to polish the hardest diamond in nature into the desired shape.

The mirror factory is also on the market, what size of glass does the glass factory provide, what size of mirror it produces, in Wang Xuan's view, there is no need to make it so big, it is very wasteful, one point four, one point eight is good? It is all glittering gold coins.

Since the board factory was officially changed to Jixiang Furui Wood Products Factory, it has finally become financially independent, although it still helps the government manage the factory, but it is enough for Wei Xing to be happy for a while. The furniture factory is a huge profit, and all kinds of molds, packaging, and boards can also bring a lot of profits to the wood products factory, and it is no longer like before to change the left hand for the right hand.

The participation of the Liuyin River shipyard is to diversify the wood products factory, perhaps a year later, the shipyard will be able to achieve profitability, the profitability of the shipyard is no worse than the furniture factory, small and medium-sized ships in the summer market, but the demand is very high, there is no market.

Recently, the mirror factory has placed an order for the plate factory, to make frames of different sizes and shapes, requiring the use of high-grade wood, fine workmanship, pattern carving, coloring must be exquisite, the details are quite demanding, even more than the ceramic factory.

Complaining is complaining, Wei Xing is still happy to accept this order, the conditions are high, the price is naturally high, if the order is stable, the plate factory can earn a net profit of no less than two thousand gold coins from the mirror factory every month. So Wei Xing is floating when he walks, and it has been a good thing and good luck in the near future.

In a few years, he can retire with peace of mind and become a rich man, the youngest child is also his only son seventeen, and he has reached the age of saying goodbye.

He decided that even if he didn't want to fight this old face, he had to say that the Lord agreed to it.
