In Liaodong in the second month of the lunar calendar, the ice and snow have begun to melt and everything has begun to revive.

Under the urging of his mother and Jun Xiangjuxin, Ji Kang returned to Xiangping City at the end of February.

The boss manager Ji Mao was arranged by Ji Kang to inspect all counties. He was responsible for urging all counties to recruit refugees, build roads, and farming.

At this time, from Anshan, Xinchang, the official roads that were recorded in Anshan, Xinchang, have been completely renovated, and the official roads from Wuyou, Dangerous, and Liao teams to Anshan, Xinchang have also been completely renovated.

After Ji Kang returned to the inner courtyard of Junhou Mansion, he just arrived at the entrance of his mother's courtyard. He saw Wangcai, who had been washed clean, fed round and grew up, and rushed towards Ji Kang and Shi Gan.

When Ji Kang held Wangcai in his arms and felt that heavier, he said to Wangcai: "I think you will call him a pig in the future, don't call him a dog."

Seeing Wangcai in his arms sticking out his tongue and licking his hands and preparing to lick his face, he hurriedly threw it to Shi Gan and entered his mother's courtyard.

I saw my mother standing at the door of the main house, looking at me with tears in my eyes.

Ji Kang hurriedly walked forward a few steps, kowtowed to his mother, "I missed my mother too." Then his mother hugged her in her arms.

It was already dark, and Shi Gan continued to talk about his experiences with his son Ji Kang in Anshan in front of his mother.

In the end, it became Shi Gan's words, while Ji Kang, like his mother and others, became a listening character.

"Empress, you don't know that the bellows made by the young master in Anshan made Ding, the blacksmith's blacksmith cry, even shouting that this was their blacksmith's magical artifact."

"Wow!" Qingzhu and Qingmei next to her shouted in cooperation, while her mother smiled.

"Wangwang" Wangcai was also shouting happily.

...

"There is also a young master who built a workshop called "Cement Factory" in Anshan, mashed several kinds of stones, mixed them with water, and then dried them with fire, and it turned into something called cement.

Then it was spread on the road, covered with straw curtains, and after it was dry, the ground became flat. General Shi Yong also cried and said that no one could break the wall with this cement!"

"Wow!" Qingzhu and Qingmei continued, while mother continued to smile.

And Ji Kang could only shake his head helplessly.

...

"Kang'er, what you mean, will you go to Anshan Villa frequently in the future?"

Seeing my mother asking this, Ji Kang replied: "Yes, mother, Anshan Villa is very important to me and Liaodi. I will go there frequently in the future."

"Then, next time I go with you, I will go there. Many craftsmen there are brought to me from Zhao State. I also want to see them and see if their lives are good?"

Ji Kang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yeah, okay, mom. Next time, my son will go with you."

...

On the next day, after breakfast, Ji Kang came to the Secretary-General of the Outer Court. He saw Jun Xiangju Xin, Minister of War Bo Wang, and Minister of Commerce Su Qing.

Xiaoxiao stopped the three of them from bowing, walked to his main chair and sat down, saying:

"Thank you all this time!"

"Thank you for your hard work, I dare not take it." The three of them stood up and replied.

Ji Kang continued to wave his hand and said, "It's all my own people, so don't be polite. On the way back to Xiangping, I saw the people ploughing the ground with curved shafts on the field along the way.

I also asked several farmers, and everyone said that the government had already handed over the bend plow to each village and household. From this, it can be seen that all counties and counties have strictly implemented the instructions of the Prime Minister's Office, but they must strictly supervise and not relax."

Ju Xin stood up and said, "Young master, there are also some who are careless and do not implement the execution. The people sent by the Supervision Bureau to various counties have discovered it several times, mainly because some township heads and gentry did not cooperate and did not implement it properly.

As a result, the government handled several cases strictly and it was much better.”

Ji Kang frowned and said, "The government orders cannot reach the villages, villages, and villages. This is a common problem in Yan State. Most of the grassroots officials below these townships are held by gentry. Some only consider their own interests and ignore the overall interests, which is not possible."

"It seems that after the assessment of disabled sergeants with better execution ability and retired sergeants, they will be allowed to serve as new village heads. This current policy is timely and necessary.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have culture. As long as you have good moral character and can resolutely complete the tasks assigned by your superiors, you can just gradually train and learn to read."

"promise."

Bo Wang, who was sitting on the other side, stood up: "Your Majesty, thank you for your care for the soldiers. This time, the bandits were suppressed, 241 soldiers were killed in the battle, and 252 soldiers were killed in the battle between Liaodong County and Liaoxi County.

By the order of the Prince, all of them were buried in the two cemeteries of Xiangping and Yangle, and there are monuments currently being carved. Many disabled soldiers were also placed in Xinjian Village as village heads and village heads. Here, the soldiers who are serving as soldiers kowtowed to you."

After saying that, without saying anything, he crawled on the ground and kowtowed to Ji Kang three times.

Ji Kang hurriedly got up and walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to lift the red-looking eyes, and said, "General, you don't have to do this. These soldiers who died and injured for the country deserve. I also want to express my gratitude to you soldiers and return the people of Liao to a clear day."

"We also have to sacrifice these soldiers who died in battle every year at Qingming Festival and at the end of the year. Let them know that the spirits of heaven that they who have shed blood and sacrificed for this land will not be forgotten by the people of this land for thousands of years."

Speaking of this, my eyes turned red when I saw Ju Xin and Su Qing.

After comforting the wool, he said to Su Qing, who was sitting in the lower head: "You have received the letter I have given to you in Anshan? How is the wool collected?"

"Young Master, the Ministry of Commerce has followed your instructions and asked all merchants to purchase wool, which has accumulated a lot of it."

As he said that, Su Qing's eyes burst into excited eyes: "Young Master, what you said in the letter "textile machine" can weave linen and wool textile cloth. You are the truth?"

"What?" Before Su Qing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ju Xin and Bo Wang standing up.

Ji Kang looked at Ju Xin and Bo Wang in shocked expressions. He said to Shi Gan, who was standing next to him and laughing, "Please take out the two pieces of cloth you made in the inner courtyard and show them to several adults."

"promise."

Shi Gan took two servants and hurried to the inner courtyard.

After a while, the few people in the secretary's cabinet were talking about other things when they saw the two servants behind Shi Gan walking in with a long roll of cloth in their hands.

One of the rolls of cloth was obviously linen, but the other roll was a little yellow and white, probably the cloth woven from wool that Su Qing mentioned just now.

Ji Kang said to several eunuchs: "Open it, let the adults see."

Ju Xin and the other three stood up and walked up to the two pieces of cloth. Looking at the open cloth, everyone's face was shocked and surprised.

Su Qing, a doctor from the Ministry of Commerce, touched the cloth woven, and showed an intoxicated expression on his face.

"Young Master, this textile machine is so amazing! Wool can be weaved into cloth, and it has no odor, and it is still so thick. You guy, I wonder how many such cloths can this textile machine be weaved every day?"

Ji Kang looked at Su Qing and said with a smile:

"Mr. Su, these two pieces of cloth are made of hemp and wool on a textile machine. I won't talk about this linen cloth. I call this piece of cloth made of wool.

The wool cloth is thick and processed into clothes. When worn in winter, people feel cold. Such a cloth can be weaved by a textile machine a day."

Su Qing's eyes shone with a discolored light and he hurriedly shouted: "Young Master, you have to hand it over to the Chamber of Commerce built by the Ministry of Commerce for sale! Last time, these chairs, tables, etc., made a lot of money. Moreover, in the chamber of commerce, several large merchants from Jidu were coming to Xiangping to expand their shops in Xiangping. If they saw this cloth, they would not go crazy!"

Jun Xiangju Xin also happily said to Ji Kang:

"Young Master, our family has such a solid linen and such a thick wool cloth! Especially the material wool used in wool cloth is now no one wants, but we use this textile machine to turn it into cloth.

The raw materials for this linen are also extremely cheap. With the textile machine made by the young master, it seems that my Liao people have the same wish and will be realized this year!"

Bo Wang looked at Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, as you said, this hair cloth is warm, and the soldiers will no longer have to suffer in winter, right?"

Ji Kang looked at Ju Xin, Bo Wang, and Su Qing and nodded, "Yes, everything we do has only two purposes. One is to change the lives of the people.

I am in a village in Pyeongchang and I heard that there is a family of two adult sisters who only have one set of clothes. Whoever has something to do will wear this set of clothes, and the other hides in the bedding at home. I heard that my heart is like a knife, and there will definitely be this one such farmer in my Liao area.

So letting everyone in Liao people buy a set of clothes that they can wear this year is my greatest wish and the highest mission of our county officials this year.

The second is to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. As long as raw materials such as hemp and wool are supplied, by this winter, the nearly 40,000 soldiers in Liao will not have to be frozen. This is the simplest wish of the soldiers.

What I want to tell you is that letting our people wear clothes, eat a full meal, and let our soldiers no longer get frozen. These are not dreams. As long as we work hard this year and do it, this wish will definitely come true by the end of the year."

Bo Wang, a person who is usually very steady, also said excitedly: "Young Master loves the people and the hearts of soldiers really touch a general. Please rest assured that there is no wool. A general is willing to lead his army to the Xiongnu, Donghu and other countries, and he will get enough wool for our Liao land."

Ji Kang was stunned for a moment, I didn’t let you use troops to the outside world!

He shook his head at Bo Wang and said, "General Bo, without my permission, he must not start the war easily. He can establish a trading market at the border with Donghu and Goguryeo, and we will acquire their wool."

Then I turned to face the three of them, regardless of whether they could understand or not, "I have classified the ten miles of radius near Anshan Villa as a military control area. This ten miles of radius, I call it an industrial area.

A single piece of textile workshop was marked out inside. In the future, we called such workshops "factories". This one that uses textile machines to weave cloth will be called textile factories. In the future, there will be steel factories, cement factories, paper mills, wood factories, clothing factories, weapons factories, glass factories, etc.."

"Come on step by step, and build it up easily first. When I came, the wood factory had been simply established. There were several different workshops in the wooden factory, and each woodworker only knew how to make one part, and all the parts were finally assembled in the assembly workshop, and the assembly workshop was also divided into several work areas. Now the textile machine is being made in the middle."

"I still plan to adopt the chamber of commerce model for this textile factory. Su Qing, just like in the grain chamber, my mother and I used this technology to hold 20% of the shares; the remaining 40% of the officials above the county magistrate will be allocated according to their positions; the other 40% of the chamber of commerce will be traded for these merchants to buy.

The usual management of the Chamber of Commerce is sent by the Ministry of Commerce to manage it on behalf of me and officials at all levels, and dividends will be distributed uniformly by the end of the year."

"I still say the same thing. Everything we do now must start from the people's food and clothing, and strive to make the people in Liao areas live a better life."

Ju Xin and the other three stood up and bowed together: "No."
Chapter completed!
