The preparatory work for the construction of the porcelain factory is carried out in an orderly manner, and Qian Duoduo is very hard-working, connecting several departments very well, publicizing the law, organizing in an orderly manner, and doing it well, for which Wang Xuan praised it very much.

After a period of backwardness in porcelain-related matters, Wang Xuan turned his attention to the talent market, he believed that although the auspicious population was small, even if the short man was taller, he could choose some available talents.

If you want to develop, you must make the best use of your talents, even if you can't do it, you have to try hard, you are not brave, no one is strong for you.

So he came to the temporary office of the Government Council, next door to the Lord's Mansion, and the master kindly vacated the courtyard of the two entrances for the Government Council to use. After finding Zhao Sheng, he told everything he wanted.

"Uncle Zhao, I want to conduct a census of the population of Jixiangling, not only to investigate the specific number of people, but also to count the individual's expertise. ”

Seeing that Zhao Sheng listened carefully, Wang Xuan continued: "The specific area of Jixiangling is unknown, but the number of auspicious people is scarce but it is well documented. We have to change, not only the mode of production, but also the mentality and thinking. ”

Wang Xuan didn't care if Zhao Sheng could understand it, and said happily according to what he wanted in his heart, but the general meaning should be understandable.

"What does the young master mean is to clear up the family and then do what he can?" Zhao Sheng asked tentatively after thinking about it.

Wang Xuan was overjoyed and immediately said: "Exactly, this time I also want to draw an auspicious topographic map, marking the location and trend of mountains and rivers, and the topography and landform also need to be explored. In addition, some literate and hyphenation people can not let them waste their knowledge, try to gather together to let them teach the people to read, mascots can not blindly go on ignorance, knowledge is the source is the driving force, is the support for the development of all things. If the people are as illiterate as illiterate, how can they be developed? ”

Zhao Sheng looked at Wang Xuan, who was talking eloquently, his expression was a little dazed, at this time, he seemed to see the figure of the old lord in this fifteen-year-old young man, he was instructing him how to develop the auspicious collar, so that the name of "auspicious" deserved it.

After a moment of relief, Zhao Sheng asked, "How does the young master plan to do it?"

Wang Xuandao: "Since it is a census of the population, exploration of the terrain, and exploration of minerals, it is natural to have talents who are familiar with these aspects to accompany them, and the first task is to gather these talents for short-term training to adapt them to survival in the wild." In addition, there are many inaccessible places, and the safety of personnel must be guaranteed, so I plan to have the military send an army with me, on the one hand, to take care of everyone's food, clothing, and daily life, and on the other hand, to draw up a military topographic map, so that I can be considered prepared. ”

Zhao Sheng listened carefully, and also helped Wang Xuan to make up for the preparation of medicinal materials.

Due to the fact that there are many unknown dangers in undeveloped areas, and most of them are overgrown with weeds and trees, the probability of people being attacked by predators and contracting diseases has increased greatly, so it is necessary to prepare some emergency medicinal materials, which are also scarce in auspicious and need to be purchased from the mainland.

The two discussed the census plan for a long time, and then the other four ministers of state also joined in to discuss and offer ideas.

After several days of repeated study and argumentation, it was finally decided that Liu Quan, who was in charge of civil affairs and agriculture, would be in charge of recruiting and training civilian personnel for the census team; Zhang Yun, who was in charge of commerce, propaganda, and foreign affairs, would be in charge of preparing medicinal materials and utensils; Zhao Xiaoshan, who was in charge of construction and public health, would be in charge of arranging the accompanying doctors; and Wang Yu, who was in charge of the military, would be responsible for the deployment of security personnel and cartographers.

After the plan was passed, the management of auspicious people acted quickly, and some of the leaders also provided support within their ability after learning of the plan, and some hunters took the initiative to apply to join in, opening the way for the census team to warn, and by the way, they hunted some game for everyone to eat.

Wang Xuan was very pleased with the reaction of the people, so he approved the applications of some hunters and asked them to escort the census team. The military sent two hundred-man teams to accompany the guards, and ten sergeants with drawing experience were responsible for the drawing.

September 30th, sunny and breezy.

More than 230 people gathered outside the east gate of the census group with their flags unfurled, including Lu Fang, a representative of the military, and You Lixing, a representative of the census. Wang Xuan looked at everyone's eager eyes and had a complicated mood, and he didn't know how many people would be buried in him.

"The son is not ugly, the dog is not poor, and the good luck is also our root, we have been living here for twelve years, and we thought that the cruel environment was our worst enemy, until the invasion of the red flame. ”

When Chiyan was mentioned, both the people in the census team and the onlookers gritted their teeth, and their eyes were full of hatred.

"Yes, it was not until the Red Flame invaded us that we found that the greatest enemy was not the cruel and harsh natural environment, nor the indifference that outsiders could not avoid, but the human heart! When we were poor, they spoke foul language, disdained us, and insulted us to the extreme, and when we had the coal mines they needed, they spoke ill of us, threatened and intimidated us, and sent troops to invade us. Today it's a coal mine, what will it be tomorrow? What can we do?"

Wang Xuan's tone was heavy, the blow of reality made everyone extremely sensitive, as mascots, they were destined to have no time to hide in the corner and lick their wounds.

"Are you willing? I'm not reconciled, why? Why are we left to fend for ourselves when we have no value? Why do we send troops to plunder and take what we want when we have value?"

At this time, Wang Xuan's voice was hysterical, he had reason to be angry and had reason to complain, but there was no reason to give up on himself. Auspiciousness is the root of 150,000 people, but he is the faith of 150,000 people, and he can't be coerced.

"Now I understand, because we don't deserve it!"

Everywhere we look, there is silence, is it really that we are not worthy?

"We don't have enough power to protect our wealth, so don't complain about the wanton plundering of others, I want to change all this, do you think?"

"I want to~" everyone replied in unison.

"Do you want to?" Wang Xuan continued to ask.

"I want to ......"

The sound shook the sky, piercing the clouds and cracking stones!

"This census will be very hard, no one knows how many dangers we don't know about in this land, some of you may never come back alive, this is the price of growth, you guys, are you afraid?"

Wang Xuan's voice gradually became quieter, as if he had seen the future, the personnel of the census team fell one after another, and one after another kept following, going forward and one after another, never giving up!

"May I die for the Lord, and I am willing to die for good luck!"

"May I die for the Lord, and I am willing to die for good luck!"

The sound is like a bell, resounding in the sky.

"Then let's go, when you are triumphant, Xuan Dang will greet you and celebrate your achievements. ”

"Let's go. ”

"The mascot will always remember your dedication, and you will also be recorded in history and worshiped by the world!" Wang Xuan thought silently in his heart

It wasn't until many years later that the annals of history would record this scene in front of us, and it represented a beginning, a legend. And Wang Xuan's heart-wrenching speech has also become the object of imitation by many politicians.
