When it came to business, Lin Yan subconsciously sat up straight, pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "This method is feasible, and people are easy to choose, but you can't come out from the guards, in case someone recognizes you as the attendant by your side In my opinion, just choose a few from the city guards, pretend to be businessmen, and pull a cart full of newly made glass cups that have never appeared on the market before, so eye-catching things, In just a few days, the news that the palace...Jingan wanted to pass on could be spread across the country, but so many people came suddenly, and there are many merchants in Mozhou now, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. , wanting to harm His Highness..."

Lin Yan thought of the seriousness, his face was full of worry, and he couldn't care about what Xie Jingan repeatedly emphasized.

Xie Jingan was still sitting still, still holding Lin Yan's hand and never letting go, he chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "I have a martial arts expert like you to protect me, so I'm afraid of a few small children? As long as the city can be safe Stay here, if there is no trouble, the palace will be fine."

Hearing the word close protection, although Lin Yan still had a worried look on his face, his ears turned redder.

Xie Jingan had just made a boyfriend, and it was at the time when he couldn't get enough of it. Lin Yan immediately noticed this change. He wanted to make fun of him, but he was afraid that if he said something too serious, it would annoy him, so he put it on his lips. The words changed, and he said: "Since we have made our words clear now, you will not avoid me anymore. Shouldn't it be time for us to bring up the martial arts practice every morning? I understand a bit, but I forgot all about it again, and it looks like I have to start over again.”

When it comes to martial arts, Xie Jingan is both happy and hated. He is happy because he has an extra chance to get along with Lin Yan. What he hates is that he really doesn't have the talent to practice martial arts. Not inherited, except that the muscles and bones are softer, and you can pull a horse, the rest, just thinking about it, I feel my limbs twitching.

Lin Yan also caught his expression in his eyes, couldn't help being a little funny, and said: "Practice martial arts is to persevere to get results. You have a lot of things to do every day, and you can only spare an hour at most, which is just to practice your muscles and bones. If you want to be effective in martial arts, no matter how talented you are, it will take three to five years to achieve a small success, and you need to work hard every day and never slack off, with you like this, this is not bad."

Even though he knew that Lin Yan was trying to make him happy, Xie Jingan still felt very comforted, thinking in his heart that Lin Yan seemed clumsy, but he was quite good at talking.

The two of them hadn't been able to have a good conversation in private for some days, Xie Jingan cherished it all the more, he pulled Lin Yan and talked nonsense for quite a while, until Cui Tong went out to ask if he wanted to share the meal, then he reluctantly let go of Lin Yan's hand.

After solving a problem on his mind, Xie Jingan made another boyfriend. In the following days, Xie Jingan was extraordinarily energetic. Even if he slept an hour less than usual every day, he was full of energy. Wu Neng strengthens his body, he looks much stronger now that his body is not strong enough.

Every time he heard such words, Xie Jingan would smile lightly and remain silent. After all, only he knew that he looked so energetic now not because he had practiced martial arts, but because of the nourishment of love.

After Xie Jing'an Cement Factory's decree to expand the recruitment of young adults was handed down, the daily output of cement has indeed increased a lot. Although it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the amount he needs, at least at this rate, it will not be long before there will be enough for the border. A city wall was repaired with cement.

The problem of cement production has been solved, and the problem of how to transport to the three border states has been put on the agenda. Although Mozhou is not a thousand miles away from the three border states, it can be reached in more than ten days at a fast pace, but if it is to transport things, it is still the same Things that cannot touch water and need to be well protected against moisture are not small.

In order to make a plan as soon as possible so that it can be implemented as soon as possible, Xie Jingan even held a special meeting for this purpose.

Not only Liu Zhubo participated, even the cement workshop with some skills was called by Xie Jingan. Looking at the few people in the flower hall, Xie Jingan couldn't help but hide his face. He is also a feudal king, when will he be talented? Come on, more counselors who can advise him.

Looking around at the faces of the people outside, Xie Jingan withdrew his thoughts, tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair, and said calmly: "I called you here today to gather ideas and draw up a regulation for sending cement to the three border states. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter day by day, I am afraid that it will not be long before the snow completely melts. I remember that every spring and autumn, those barbarians outside the customs would come here to burn, kill and loot from time to time. Pointing to the bravery of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, now that this king has obtained such a good thing that can stabilize the city wall, there is no reason to continue to sacrifice their lives. Besides, last year was not a good year. Our food and grass are running low, they are working for the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not easy for me to let them fight hungry, so no matter what, these things must be transported before the barbarians attack."

After Xie Jingan finished speaking, the flower hall was immediately filled with whispers. Except for the cement factory manager who participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, he was silent and dared not speak easily, and everyone who was familiar with Xie Jingan's temperament whispered among themselves.

Liu Zhubo, as the most favored civil servant at the moment, was naturally the first to say: "Your Highness said that in the past, His Highness didn't have a feudal clan, so it's normal that he didn't care much about the border affairs, but now the border is closed to the three states. It has been included in His Highness's fief, so it shouldn't be ignored. In my opinion, Your Highness might as well follow the old practice and let the guilty person sent to His Highness's fief by the court to transport these things, so as not to delay His Highness. There is no need to draw other people to affect the operation of the workshop."

Most of Xie Jing'an's fiefdoms are in poor mountains and bad waters, sparsely populated, and close to barbarian lands. Most of the people who were assigned by the court were assigned to this place. In the past, it was often like this when transporting grain and grass. Now Master Liu mentioned it, but it is not unusual. only……

Xie Jing'an frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but didn't want Lin Yan to take the lead, and said calmly, "Master Liu is justified in what he said, but this time is different, not only grain and grass, but also cement and other important things will be delivered to this place Although there are many people, they are limited, if only these people are allowed to be transported, how long will it take to finish the matter, after all, His Highness can say that the barbarians will call at any time, and the border guards will rely on these to save their lives."

It was the first time that Lin Yan opposed Liu Zhubo's opinion, and his words were quite fierce. Not only Xie Jingan was surprised, Liu Zhubo was also a little surprised, and he opened his mouth to retort: ​​"General Lin's statement is not true. The barbarians attacked the border three The state is of course important, so don’t His Highness’s matters matter? If General Yilin said that young men were transferred from Mozhou City, or soldiers sent grain, grass and cement to the border, how could His Highness’s workshop survive without these soldiers guarding the border? Mozhou, what if His Highness has an emergency? Besides, although the barbarians attack the city sounds urgent, but they don’t play one or two games every year. They have defended it in previous years. Could it be that this year it’s too late? As for His Royal Highness, it is at a critical time to govern the fief, and those workshops deliver goods to various aristocratic families. If this causes a rift between the aristocratic families and His Highness, how should this crime be calculated? Who To take responsibility?"

Mr. Liu is a civil servant after all, he looks pedantic on weekdays, but once he speaks, he is neat and tight, and Lin Yan's expression changes slightly when he speaks a long string of words.

One of them is civil and the other military, one is for the development of the fiefdom, and the other is for the security of the border. Xie Jing'an finally understands why the ministers of civil and military affairs have been in the same situation since ancient times.

Xie Jingan saw that they had lost their former friendly appearance, and felt a little tense. He couldn't help rubbing his forehead, and slapped on the armrest, interrupting their dispute, and sighed: "Both of you are subordinate officials of this king. They are all confidantes of the king, and they are devoted to the fiefdom, so why are they arguing like this?"

Xie Jing'an lightly reprimanded the two of them, then changed his voice, and said: "This king knows Liu Master Bo's intention to manage the fief well, but this king just said that we must deliver the things one by one before the barbarians make a big attack. Come on, could it be that my king's voice was too low just now, didn't Master Liu hear it?"

Although Xie Jing'an spoke lightly, Master Liu understood what he meant in an instant, and he couldn't help but sweat slightly on his forehead. He hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty: "My minister is panicked, and please forgive me."

Seeing that Mr. Liu had understood what he meant, he didn't hold back, waved his hand slightly, and said: "That's all, this king summoned you here to let you speak freely and brainstorm ideas, and Mr. Liu also How can this king blame you if you are dedicated to enfeoffing the land? Now that you understand this king's thoughts, think about it carefully, what should you do with this errand."

Mr. Liu thanked him for his kindness, and sat on the chair for a while before he calmed down. He was just afraid of saying the wrong thing again, so he hesitated to speak for a while, but Lin Yan didn't have this hesitation, and said directly: "Yimo general See, Liu Zhubo's method must be used, and the young and strong in Mozhou must also be transferred, but it is not necessary to be young and strong. Old people who are old and healthy can also be used. They are not like the sinners exiled to His Highness's fief. There is a time limit, as long as they walk slowly, do not lack food or water, and have no worries about their lives, His Highness can be like those young and strong recruiters, and give them wages. Presumably this notice is posted, and many people are willing to go, After all, it is also for border security and is closely related to them."

This is also a way, Xie Jingan rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, he thought it was feasible, but he was afraid that Liu Zhubo would suddenly jump out to object again, so he turned his gaze to him as a question.

After the lessons learned just now, Liu Zhubo had already fully understood Xie Jingan's meaning, so after careful consideration, seeing that it was indeed beneficial and not harmful to governing the fiefdom, it was in line with Lin Yan's agreement.

Seeing that the two agreed and the others had no objections, he waved his hand and settled the matter, but before the meeting was adjourned, Master Liu said another sentence, which made Xie Jingan remember it in his heart.

Liu Zhubo said: "Your Highness is worried about the border affairs. It is the luck of the people in the fiefdom and the blessing of the humble minister. It's just that His Highness burned cement vigorously before, which reduced the youth of the workshops such as soap and perfume, and stopped paying attention to this. The recruitment of several workshops, and now they have to dispatch a batch of food, grass and cement to the border, I am afraid that the aristocratic family will be dissatisfied with His Highness because of this, and what troubles will arise, I hope His Highness will make plans early."

Xie Jingan has been thinking about building roads and city walls since the snow melted, and put other things behind him for the time being. After Mr. Liu mentioned this, he actually came to his senses. He entered the study and looked at the pile of plan papers he had written. After thinking about it, I finally pulled out the three patent department chambers of commerce and the city park department, and it was time to start construction.

His fief has limited manpower, and his energy is also limited. Although he can make the most profit by producing it himself, the output is limited. The daily necessities of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to mention the sale to the affiliated countries of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as countries on the other side of the ocean.

Therefore, it is imperative to mobilize other businessmen. Although a large part of the profit will be lost, small profits but quick turnover is better than him dragging so many people, and there is no spare manpower to do other things.

Xie Jing'an is a person who doesn't like procrastination. Now that the decision has been made, the next day, the post will be sent to the hands of the participants of the regional sales rights auction held last time. Of course, there are also many merchants who have come to Mozhou from thousands of miles away. one serving.

The more people compete, the better the price will be. The last time he had to hire those aristocratic families, but this time the initiative is in his hands, and he doesn't want to let the aristocratic families monopolize the benefits again.
