【242】The secret room
After getting off the court, Xiao Shizhu and Guimu left Tianquan Hall and walked side by side to the north slowly.
Now Chu Tian Yan Xi, the geese gathered in the evening, and Jiangmo County in the south was stable. The order and industrial and commercial production of each county and city have been restored. Julong is running among each county and is striving to develop agriculture, sericulture, water conservancy;
Everything in the city is thriving, and Xiao Shizhu is in a good mood.
What excited him the most was that Southeast was settled, and from then on he could free up his hands to concentrate on dealing with Wu Hui who wanted to make trouble.
"Now that the Three Shou Kingdoms have been destroyed, we will start to open a county next to each other." The ghost mother followed Xiao Shizhu and walked between the jade palaces. She looked at Xiao Shizhu curiously and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
.
Based on her understanding of Xiao Shizhu, the other party must have had a preliminary plan.
"First change the thirteen cities of the three-shou Kingdom before to Xiaofeng County." After recalling a little, Xiao Shizhu told the ghost mother that he had already made: "Implement the return of the mine and the people to return it to the people."
The policy is to win over the hearts of the local people. In the future, although the local minerals will be sent by the court to guard and maintain order, each person who returns from the mine will only have to deliver 40% of the harvest to the court, and the remaining 60% will belong to it."
"Well, contrary to the policy of the three kings enslaved the people and mining for themselves, it is indeed a good strategy that can win over the hearts of the people and appease the people." The ghost mother said thoughtfully with a slight head: "If it can
Isn’t it better to open up new business routes so that merchants in other counties in our country can go to the plains to do business?"
"I'm just thinking." Xiao Shizhu nodded immediately and said, thinking about it, and then said: "But the people cannot trade rare ores, they can only trade gold, silver and other minerals. Strictly control the circulation of rare minerals and avoid the need for avoiding the
He sent ghosts to buy them."
"The national teacher once offered me advice. In the future, my country's foreign trade will not be sold. One is food, the other is weapons. The third is rare metals. For example, stainless steel, black stone, broken soul iron and dragon hole iron, etc. Things must be strictly controlled." Xiao Shizhu put his hands on his back and told the ghost mother: "Although he returned the mine to the people, the imperial court should set up an ore prison in the local area, and use money, grain and other goods to get from the local people While exchanging rare minerals in your hands, you can control local people to buy and sell rare minerals privately."
"Well, it should be like this." The ghost mother pointed her head and said thoughtfully: "And I think that since the local area is rich in sulfur and saltpeter, why not open a military weapon supervision branch on the spot?"
Xiao Shizhu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Dear, you and I have thought of one thing. I was about to discuss this with Yue Yatou. Let her choose a military industry with superb skills and go to the local area to open a military weapon supervision branch.
.”.
The couple hit it off and looked at each other and smiled.
"In addition, I plan to build a bridge." Before walking a few steps, Xiao Shizhu said excitedly again: "Let it span the abyss of Cangwu and connect Qingtou County with Xiaofeng County."
The ghost mother was shocked when she heard this and was slightly stunned: "The abyss is not narrow, how should it be built?"
"It's not difficult; just calculate the width and prepare dozens of iron cables with the same width as the abyss, so that Yumin and the stern people can pull one end of the iron cable and fly to the other side of the abyss." Xiao Shizhu laughed and said proudly.
: "Fix these iron cables in the well-built abutment on both sides of the straits, and cover them with wooden boards to form a cable bridge."
The ghost mother was amazed at the sound of her tongue. It was not that Xiao Shizhu's method was so novel. The two bridges on the Wangchuan River, "Youlai Bridge" and "Wuhui Bridge", were built like this.
What surprised her was that Xiao Shizhu's mind was getting faster and faster. Even she didn't expect a solution. The other party immediately thought of it. In addition to shocking her, her admiration for Xiao Shizhu increased a little.
"In this way, the two counties can be connected." Xiao Shizhu, who obviously did not notice the change in the ghost mother's expression, raised a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and continued to talk: "And I have decided to let Huamei do the whispering wind
The prefect of the county.”.
"You look forward to her very much." The ghost mother, who recovered from her shock, had satisfaction in her eyes and smiled.
"Well, today I observed her and found that her eyes were selfless, and the same was true when she proposed it, which shows that this ghost is clearly divided by public and private." Xiao Shizhu put away the proud look on her face and showed a slight solemn look: "And there is one."
He is courageous and has a brain; look at how wonderful her rebuttals are, just as you often say, female ghosts may not be inferior to men. If you don’t need such a ghost, then I’m just a silly and brain-what.”
"Yeah." The ghost mother also showed appreciation on her face and said, "When I was in the court, I asked Chen Ruo to check her resume and found that she actually became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice step by step.
Moreover, her promotion was all after you became the king and implemented the new policy, which shows that this ghost is still working diligently."
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw that they had already walked to the Yaoguang Stone House, one of the seven scenic spots in the Yuque.
Lai Yueqi had already been waiting on the shore beside the stone boat. She was pacing constantly, her face was full of anxiety and she kept rubbing her hands. After seeing Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, the anxiety on Lai Yueqi's face suddenly turned into joy.
She hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Xiao Shizhu and Guimu, and said anxiously: "Sister, lord, I found a secret, come and see you."
As he said that, he pulled up the ghost mother who had just appeared in suspicion and quickly walked towards the stone boat.
Winter goes and spring comes, and everything revives. The plants on Chuyue Island are bathed in the warm spring breeze, and the buds are blooming in fine detail. Moreover, this place has not become deserted due to the migration of the capital of Jiuyou Kingdom, and it is as lively as ever.
Commercial and travel cargo ships still frequently enter and exit the four major ports on the island, bringing a lot of trade to this place.
The Yin Ri just lifted off the sea level, and the Songtao Port on the east became noisy. In the busy port, merchant ships of different sizes were already waiting at the port after the docking of the port, and the bare-chested porters were
After rushing up, he helped the ship owner or merchants to get the price down, and helped them move the big and small bags of living things off the boat.
The heads of the dock also took their men to collect the ship's mooring fees for the ship owners one by one.
A demon soul wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat quietly got off the boat in the lively crowd. He lowered his head and shuttled among the ghosts and headed out of the dock.
His head was slightly lowered, and his face looked a little quiet. The huge straw raincoat was just the size of it, covering the wings that were folded on his back without deviatingly.
"That demon soul." He just arrived at the entrance of the dock. When several Jiuyou soldiers saw him, they held their spears and stopped him, shouting: "Where do you come from? What are you doing when you come to Shuoyue Island?"
The demon soul was slightly stunned, then calmed down, took out a business travel sign issued by Jiuyou Kingdom from his arms, handed it to the guards, and said respectfully: "The youngest one is from the Black-toothed Chinese in Dongyizhou.
I like to travel around the mountains and rivers on weekdays, but I just want to see the style of the mountain city of your country’s capital.”
Several guards looked through the sign, and after identifying that it was a real waist sign, they took the spear; the leader smiled at the demon soul and said, "Brother, this is no longer the capital of our country. Our country has moved its capital to Yuque City.
.”. As he said that, he returned the sign to the demon soul and made way.
The demon soul took the sign and was slightly stunned. He looked up and glanced at the soldier's honest smile, then quickly lowered his head, and said suspiciously: "Yuque City? Isn't that the territory of the King of Water Gonggong?"
"Haha, brother, you live in a remote place, don't you know?" The soldier smiled foolishly again and said, "The Communist Kingdom was annexed by our country a few months ago."
The demon soul's body shook, obviously very shocked; after a moment he recovered, he asked again: "Dare you ask the official, can I go to Yuque City with this brand? The young man also yearns for Chu Tian
I am from the plain, I want to see the legendary land of thousands of lakes and the land of fish and rice."
The guard suddenly looked embarrassed and thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. You are the order from Heichi Kingdom to Shuoyue Island. If you want to go to Yuque City, you have to go to Xiaoyushan City Yamen to set up a place.
The order to pass to Yuque City.”.
"Thank you for your advice, the devil soul stopped asking, and after bowing, he walked out of the dock with the inspection and passing the inspection.
He walked casually in the market outside the pier, and finally stopped in front of a thatched hut embroidered with the word "tea" embroidered with the words "tea".
I looked up at the store and saw that there were not many customers who were still quiet. I looked at the guise of waving in the wind and walked in.
The demon soul just sat down behind the table on the street with a towel on his shoulder, then ran over happily and asked with a smile: "Customer, what do you want to drink? Don't look at the small shop not big.
, We have authentic feathered man and mist."
"Give me a pot of flower tea and some more snacks." The demon soul just thought for a while, took out two taels of silver from his arms and slapped it on the table: "There is also a roast chicken."
The second brother didn't think much about it, so he reached out to pick up the silver, said, "Okay." He turned around and left.
After a while, he brought a roast chicken, a pot of tea and two plates of snacks from behind the tea shed. After he arranged the demon soul together, he said again: "Customer, please use it slowly."
Turn around and leave.
The demon soul grabbed the roast chicken with one hand and started to chew it. After a few chews, he grabbed the snack and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it a few bites casually, lifted the teapot spout to the mouth of the pot, and was not afraid of the water in the pot being scalded, so he was
He raised his head and drank a few sips of water, and swallowed the food in his mouth.
He almost choked, coughed and patted his chest a few times, and continued to eat.
Not long after, the whole roast chicken was left with only the minced broiler bones.
The demon soul, who was burping, patted his slightly bulging belly and couldn't help but look out of the store.
But I saw four Xuan Imperial Army escorting a human soul passing by the door of the shop and heading west. The demon soul looked at it a few more times when he was curious, but his eyes were slightly stunned when it fell on the human soul.
Chapter completed!
