"Good."

Lu Yuan nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Liyan, I didn't expect you to not only sing and dance outstandingly, but also govern the prefecture and county, and you are also a good hand."

"In that case, how about I leave the matter of Liaocheng to you with full responsibility?"

"When the harvest is in the autumn, I will come to you and drink a bowl of wheat porridge."

"I don't want it!"

Su Liyan shook her head decisively, and said angrily: "I just see that my husband has been busy recently, so I will help you support you here for a few days." ”

"Why do you really want to keep me tied here all the time?"

"I don't want to guard the acres of crops every day, I have to follow my husband every day and be with my husband!"

Facing Su Liyan's unrelenting coquettishness, Lu Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart.

This woman is obviously already a big demon whose strength is not lost to Lingju, why is she still so clingy?

Still, that's fine.

If the banshees around you are all iceberg beauties like a ju.

Staying together 24 hours a day, they can't say three words.

Then you can't be suffocated?

"Master, why don't you let me stay here?"

The Kraken said eagerly, "I haven't experienced what it's like to be a magistrate!" ”

"Don't even think about it."

Lu Yuan said with a dark face, "Don't think I don't know what you ghost girl thinks. ”

"If I really let go, I will hand over this huge Liaocheng to you."

"You still have to pierce the sky?"

Gui Shu said timidly, "Master, do you want me to stay?" ”

"Hmm...... Inappropriate. ”

Lu Yuan shook his head dissatisfied.

It's not that he can't trust Rose.

I'm just afraid that Guishu won't be able to control his instincts.

Now that Liaocheng is fully restored, the harvest of the first year is still important.

Because in his previous revelation, he was exempted from paying taxes on the acres of land in the first year.

Therefore, all the grain harvested this year belongs to the common people.

It is necessary to let the people see hope in the food, so that they can continue to work harder in the future.

And Gui Shu is a big rat who has cultivated into a refinement.

Resistance to food, almost zero.

Earlier, she was hungry and ran to the grain depot of Songjiang Mansion to steal grain and rice to eat.

As a result, he was caught by the big demon and folded himself in the hands of Wu Kang's father and son.

Lu Yuan touched his chin and subconsciously looked at Lingju.

Lingju shrugged and said, "I'll stay?" ”

"Uh...... Never mind. ”

Lu Yuan immediately shook his head.

The spirit judge is the strongest force around him.

And people don't talk much, saying that she will beat whoever she wants.

Such a gold medal fighter must be brought with him.

It's a bit of a shame to stay and be the county magistrate.

Lu Yuan thought about it, and always felt that there must be someone left here in Liaocheng.

After hesitating for a while, he set his eyes on Yu Ling's body.

"Yu Ling, how about you stay?"

"You used to live in Liaocheng for a long time, and you were once called a god."

"I don't think there's a better fit than you."

However, Yu Ling was still expressionless and silent.

His face suddenly became gloomy, and he slapped his chopsticks on the table.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan was frightened, and hurriedly sneered, "Even if you stay, you don't need to live in a cave like before." ”

"Every day, I live in the county office, the state's special cook, and I can cook whatever I want for you, how good it is."

"Of course, if you don't want to stay here, forget it......"

Before Lu Yuan finished speaking, he saw Yu Ling pouting and said with a displeased face.

"Not happy."

"The land here is so well cared for."

"There are no locusts to eat."

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were slightly stunned, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Including the always cold Lingju, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

This Lingling is really an authentic pure foodie.

……

Since he has already come to Liaocheng, there is no need to leave in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Lu Yuan, accompanied by Su Liyan and others, first went to the factory for a turn.

Factory.

The directors and councilors of the hundreds of Ministry of Engineering have all incarnated as civil engineering brothers.

Transporting sand, gravel and wood every day, helping Lu Yuan build one factory after another.

Li Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, has fully accepted the role of the contractor.

Present at the construction site command and dispatch, extremely dedicated.

One of the largest bicycle factories was completed two days ago.

Su Liyan still follows the original system of Lu Yuan, recruiting three types of work: blacksmith, force worker and apprentice.

The abundant conditions have attracted many people who have returned to their hometowns but are unwilling to farm, or have no land to plant.

In just two days, more than 500 workers were recruited.

"Shiziye, it is really a wise choice to build a factory in Liaocheng."

Su Liyan said with a smile, "These factories can not only make Liaocheng's economy prosperous and rich. ”

"It also solves the employment problem for a large number of people."

"It has simply promoted the economy of Liaocheng in all aspects!"

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and nodded, "That's what I thought at the beginning. ”

"To build Liaocheng into a long-term base, it is not enough to rely on farming."

"According to my expectations, within five years at the latest."

"The richness of my Liaocheng will surpass the imperial city and become the first important town of Lieqian."

Li Jin and the others on the side, when they heard Lu Yuan's words, they couldn't help but gasp.

Hiss.

The ambition of the prince is not small.

Even now, with his support, Liaocheng has been fully restored, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt.

But there are still many people who don't even have enough to eat.

The prince wants to surpass the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven within five years?

Well......

Then I guess these people will have to die of exhaustion.

After visiting the perfume factory, Lu Yuan came to Liaoyuan River again.

As he had previously ordered, several docks and harbors had been built along the river.

One of the largest terminals, no less than a seaport, can accommodate hundreds of cargo ships at the same time.

Of course, there is not a single one yet.

"I've seen the prince."

Wu Yue, the director of the Ministry of Works, who was responsible for supervising the repair of the wharf, came to Lu Yuan.

"These docks were built according to your original requirements, are you satisfied?"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Very satisfied." ”

"Lord Wu, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard for the lower officials to do something for the prince."

"Just ......"

Wu Yue asked with some confusion, "Lord Shizi, what are you trying to build these ports?" ”

"Liaocheng is short of materials, and there will be no merchants from any place who are willing to send ships to trade."

"Is it possible...... The prince still plans to ask the emperor for a boat? ”

In the past few days, Wu Yue's heart can be described as uneasy.

All the ships of the imperial court were in the hands of their Ministry of Works.

In other words, the wool comes out of the sheep.

In case the prince really opened his mouth and asked the emperor for a ship.

Then this money has to be taken out of the pocket of their Ministry of Works.

"Of course not."

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Every ship in the imperial court is recorded in the roster of the Ministry of Industry. ”

"How can I make such an unreasonable request and embarrass the emperor?"

"That's good."

Without waiting for Wu Yue to breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Yuan stuffed a stack of drawings into his hand.

"Let's make it ourselves, don't we?"

looked at Lu Yuan's harmless smile.

The corners of Wu Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and he fell into a long silence.

The prince ......

Don't you think your request is a bit more unreasonable?

With hundreds of them, build their own ships?

Then you have to build it in the Year of the Monkey?

In an instant, Wu Yue suddenly had an illusion in his heart.

The hundreds of ministers of their Ministry of Industry were borrowed by the prince to work in Liaocheng.

Or did they commit something and were sentenced to exile in Liaocheng?

"By the way, there's more."

Lu Yuan thought of something, took out several more drawings, and handed them to Wu Yue one by one.

After subduing the Kraken and obtaining "Sailing", Lu Yuan ordered people to design these drawings.

What kind of ship guns, containers, berths, land bridges......

In short, the things recorded in "Navigation" that can be used by himself have been designed by Lu Yuan.

It is to realize his ambition in Liaocheng.

"Lord Wu, come on, take the brothers to do a good job."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "When the turn is finished, I will invite you to drink." ”

Wu Yue was holding a thick stack of drawings in his hand, and his face was full of tears.

Lord Shizi, is this a matter of drinking a drink?

Gotta add money!

……

Back in the city, walk the streets of Liaocheng.

Many people greeted Lu Yuan warmly.

"Lord Shizi, you're here!"

"My doll has a birthday today, come and have a glass of wine!"

"Haha, congratulations, I won't drink the wine."

"Lord Shizi, our family just bought some meat today."

"Stew elbows at night, let's eat some together!"

"No need, you can eat."

The enthusiastic attitude of the villagers made Lu Yuan a little flattered, as if he had returned to his hometown.

"I didn't expect that I didn't even show up a few times, and I was already so popular in Liaocheng?"

"That's natural."

Su Liyan smiled and nodded, "I think at the beginning, thanks to the prince's discernment." ”

"Not only did we not only get rid of a corrupt official, but we also solved locust plagues and droughts."

"Not to mention that later opened a warehouse to release grain, erected a porridge shed, took out silver taels to gather the people to return to their hometowns, and also established these factories to provide stable jobs for the people."

"It is no exaggeration to say that now in Liaocheng, your reputation is heavier than that of the emperor."

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Lu Yun's forehead, "Liyan, don't dare to say this." ”

also owes his emperor to Emperor Yongle.

If it is changed to Hong Wuye, when he is in power.

If you can't keep this right, you let a certain Qingcang guard listen to it.

Directly arrested himself, and then died in prison.

As they walked, they returned to the gate of the county office.

But outside the door, a drunken young man was lying on the ground.

From a distance of several hundred meters, you can smell the pungent smell of alcohol.

"Ignorant, diminished!"

The young man carried a wine gourd in his hand, and while pouring wine into his mouth, he kept yelling.

"The foundation of the world has always been based on teaching!"

"Why is the prince willing to spend so much money to build wasteland and open a factory?"

"But they don't want to pay a little money to educate the poor children!"

"It's really short-sighted, short-sighted and ignorant!"

"If you don't pay attention to rejuvenating the country through science and education, Liaocheng will be economically rich, but it will be just a group of walking dead!"

Su Liyan's face turned black in an instant, "Why did this madman come to sprinkle again?" ”

"Someone, fork him out!"

Two officials rushed forward and set up the young man on the left and the right.

"Unconscious, unconscious!"

I don't know if it's alcohol, even if they are all caught by the officials, the young man is still fearless and scolds.

"Poor mountains and rivers, they are going to be destroyed again!"

"Wait."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Liyan, who is he?" ”

"His name is Sima Nan, and he is a talent who is not as good as the first in this Liaocheng."

Su Liyan explained, "The day after my husband left, he came to me at the government office and asked me to allocate two thousand taels of silver for him to run a school in Liaocheng. ”

"At that time, the victims of the disaster from all sides were returning one after another, clearing the wasteland and sowing seeds, and it was the time to use the money, where was the excess silver wasted on him?"

"After I refused him, he ran to the door of the government every day to make trouble, borrowing wine and spilling it all day long, and I had nothing to do with him."

The more Su Liyan spoke, the more angry he became, he walked up to Sima Nan and said sharply, "Sima Nan! ”

"On weekdays, it's okay if you splash and roll in front of me."

"Today, the prince is here, do you dare to make trouble?"

"I don't think you want to live anymore!"

"The prince?"

Sima Nan was slightly stunned, and looked at Lu Yuan behind Su Liyan drunkenly, and his face was full of excitement in an instant.

"You are the prince of the world?!"

"Lord Shizi, there is something to report in Xia Sima Nan!"

"For the sake of Liaocheng's century-old foundation, the prince of the world will allocate 3,000 taels of silver to run a school in the city and plant trees to educate people!"

Su Liyan furrowed his eyebrows, "Heh, two thousand taels came a few days ago, and today the prince will be three thousand taels when he comes?" I can't see that you're still sitting on the ground with this sour show! ”

"Come on, give me a heavy twenty board, let him have a long memory!"

"No!"

The two officials nodded, and were about to drag Sima Nan into the hall to play the board.

Lu Yuan suddenly waved his hand and said with a light smile, "Slow." ”

"This Mr. Sima's words are a bit insightful."

Su Liyan looked puzzled, "Lord Shizi, why are you still helping this sour show to speak?" ”

"His words were straighter, but they made a lot of sense."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly, "If you want to surpass the imperial city in the true sense, you don't want to see how much grain you grow, nor how much tax and silver you can pay. ”

"Even if you grow more grain, can you compare with Jiangnan in the land of fish and rice?"

"No matter how much tax money is collected, can it be compared with Jin Sui, who is rich in coal?"

"The only thing we can compare with is talent."

"If it is Enke University Examination in the future, the top students of every year are all my Liaocheng students."

"That's the real crown and the best in the world!"

"The prince is wise!"

Sima Nan was ecstatic in an instant, directly broke free from the shackles of the servants, rushed to Lu Yuan and knelt on the ground.

"The words of the prince of the world show the style of the Holy Monarch!"

"Please be gracious and give me three thousand taels of silver, and I will open thirty schools in the city tomorrow!"

"Nope."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and shook his head: "Three thousand taels is not good." ”

Su Liyan echoed: "Are you stupid to be the prince of the world? ”

But before she finished speaking, Lu Yuan said aloud, "I'll give 30,000 taels!" (End of chapter)
