God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

It was not until the autumn of the following year that the army of Princess Sharjah returned to Curry.

It took half a year to go back and forth, and half a year to fight in Honggu. It took a whole year to deal with a bunch of messy affairs of the Honggu royal family, clean up the dignitaries of Honggu, promulgate the basic laws of Taixi, and so on.

The princess of Sharjah was really ruthless. The old king of Honggu entered retirement and pension life. The previous royal family owners took back all their property and demoted them to civilians. Those who resisted were killed without mercy.The officials before Honggu, who did not act during the locust plague and took the opportunity to seize the people's fields, announced their crimes in the square, and then cut them in half amid the angry voices of the people.

Honggu has fully implemented Taixi's step-by-step tax collection law. The tax collection law plus new seeds, with two sharp weapons, the common people of Honggu completely fell to the princess of Sharjah.

Whoever feeds them is their king.Whoever dares to oppose Princess Sharjah is their enemy!

Sharjah has promoted a series of officials who can do things, and established a system in which a very small number of nobles and a small number of custodians share power.The inheritance rights are all copied from Taixi, and the old king's thing of letting high-ranking concubines adopt low-ranking children and threatening the children of the first princess will be illegal in the future.

In addition, the Princess of Sharjah arranged for people to plant cotton and rest the textile department of the Red Valley.She also sent the priests of the local temple to go to Curry to learn medicine from the Son of God.

Taixi's civilian salt also began to enter the Red Valley.The two places began large-scale trade and exchanges.Especially the original Honggu people who settled down in Taixi before, now come to visit relatives with big bags and small bags, and let me talk about those things in the past by the way.

When both sides met, they burst into tears, and the estrangement slowly melted in the contact.

After Princess Sharjah came back, her name was followed by a suffix of "Queen of the Red Valley".Later, she became the first princess, and her titles were: Queen Taixi and Queen Honggu.

Because this time the war went so smoothly, there were almost no casualties in the Taixi army. A new monument to heroes appeared in the open space in front of the Temple of the Goddess of War, but there were only less than a hundred names on it.Only one military medal was issued.

It is worth mentioning that less than a hundred people died this time, but more than 50 people died for non-war reasons.Basically, it is corruption, abuse of power, violation of military discipline, disobedience to orders, and so on.Half of them were due to alleged rape that turned out to be true.

Yunze thought it was just a normal male strong female, but he didn't expect that the door of a new world opened when he asked, male strong female, female strong male, male strong male, female strong female, the two genders can be combined at will.

Of course, without accident, without exception, these people all died.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, during training and fighting, no sexual activity is allowed in the army, not voluntary, and even forced to make an example.This is the rule of the Taixi army, which existed before the appearance of female soldiers, and it is something that soldiers need to know on the first day they enlist in the army.

Um?Always feel that there is a little subtlety?

In any case, it is an established fact that Honggu has become a vassal state of Taixi.

Also in this year, Quan Taixi's second theater and second vocational technical college appeared in Green Cloud City, and the third theater and third vocational technical college will soon appear in Spring City.The water supply facilities and roads in Lvyun City have been built, and Yunze used part of the tax revenue to build a theater and this second technical college, and the rest was invested in the construction of theaters and schools in Spring City.

With material things, spiritual civilization has to keep up.

The theater in Green Cloud City will be smaller than Curry, built with bricks.The emergence of bricks has greatly eased everyone's demand for stone.Except for relatively grand buildings (no reinforced concrete, only large stones can be used), most small buildings can be built with bricks, but cement is relatively expensive.As a result, a large amount of limestone was mined to burn cement.

A craftsman improved the method of firing cement. He added a certain proportion of clay, and the quality of the fired cement was good and the output was large.Because of this, the artisan was given the privilege of a cow and the privilege of carrying a stele of merit to the grave.

Seeing the potential of bricks, the king opened many brick-burning factories, which solved the job problems of many young men.

Nobles went to him to buy bricks and cement to build their own houses.Yunze has a dividend in the brick factory, so his bricks and cement don't need to pay extra, and they can be used when they are transported to Green Cloud City.

The theater in Green Cloud City was built, and a group from the Curry Theater Troupe came to Green Cloud City.The school in Green Cloud City was also built, and many craftsmen came to Green Cloud City to teach.

Bell's uncle Abydos was fully responsible for the establishment of this second college and a series of things after that.After observing for a year, Yunze decided to let him have a try.

"Busy, one year has passed, the children on the street used to call me brother, but now they have to call me uncle." Yunze looked at the children running around on the cherry tree avenue, chasing and playing with each other, Feeling that I am about to be another year old.

Menis couldn't help laughing, where would someone call him brother or uncle?

Yunze looks to be in his early twenties, although 20 is not young in Taixi, but looking at those clean and firm eyes as always, who can say he is old?

Even after 50 or 60 years, his soul is fresh and will never grow old.

In order to promote the idea of ​​one economic crop per village, Yunze has stayed at home for half a month.He holds daily meetings to select suitable extension crops for nearby villages.All this is because of the cement road that His Majesty and others decided to start building next year.

Menis was worried that he would be bored at home, so he pulled him out for a walk.

"Even if there are a lot of things to do, you have to do them one by one. You used to say that you should try to let your subordinates do it, and don't make yourself too tired. That's what you said about me. Why can't you do it when it comes to yourself?"

Yunze felt a little embarrassed, he was pushing himself too hard recently.

They were resting behind a cherry tree, and a young couple passed by on the road, a typical combination of soldiers and weavers.Yun Ze took a second look, but it was because the young wife seemed familiar to him.

"Misha," the soldier called to his wife, "I will leave work early today, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"Hmm... toasted pancake, topped with a little vegetables and grilled meat, and coated with a layer of sauce." Misha said.

The soldier shook his head helplessly: "As expected, you still order this."

"Of course, this is the food that brings me happiness in my memory."

Yunze watched them pass by with a smile, he already remembered who this young weaver was.She's grown up, she's a mature adult, and she seems to be doing well, which is nice.

Menis reached out to hold Yunze's hand, Yunze's was a little cold, but his was warm.

"The ship from the port has arrived today, and many people go there to buy port specialties. Do you want to take a look, Your Highness?"

"Why not? I'm a part of Prince Sham's specialty shop for port specialties."

Seafood purchased from fishermen, Prince Sham's cured duck and salted duck eggs, Yunze's fish sauce and oyster sauce are the main parts of the port's special products.

People who like seafood like it very much, but those who are not interested will feel fishy when they smell it. In addition, some people are allergic to seafood, so people in Curry have mixed opinions on the port specialty store.But most people still like the cured duck, salted duck eggs and sauce inside.

In addition, cheap products such as seaweed, dried shrimp, and dried kelp are also selling well, which can enhance the freshness and increase the deliciousness of the soup.

Prince Sham said on the day that he would inform the residents of the village that they could go to nearby cities to buy civilian salt and civilian cloth, and he did such a thing later.

As a result, many relatively isolated villages knew about this. They started to go to nearby cities once a month to buy some salt and cheap daily necessities, and learn about the latest news by the way.

Later, rural supply and marketing cooperatives began to appear. They only needed a small mud-brick house to sell basic materials such as salt, soy sauce, vegetable oil, cotton cloth, cotton thread, needles, and fire pockets. , directly radiating from the city to the surrounding countryside.

In addition to the supply and marketing cooperatives, a fair is held in conjunction with nearby villages every six months, and each family can take out the surplus and unused things at home to exchange for what they need.

The emergence of supply and marketing cooperatives and bazaars has greatly facilitated rural people, which also forced those small traders to find more things and lower prices.As a result, they found that although the profit was low, they sold more and made more money.As a result, some small traders began to travel frequently between the city and the countryside, earning a little money for running errands.

There are as many small villages as there are stars in Taixi. They joined the buying team, and news came from many places that the supplies such as salt and soy sauce were not enough to sell.

This is actually a good thing, and it solves the job problem of some young people.Because the soy sauce workshop and the oil press workshop had to be expanded, more male and female workers were recruited, and the kindergarten had to continue to be built.There were almost not enough old court ladies, so Yunze added a course of 'kindergarten teachers' to the school he opened.

Yunze had always been worried about the problem of overcapacity, but now he came to his senses that his worries were unfounded.

Even the domestic demand has not been met, where is the excess capacity?

The shops selling port specialties were crowded with people. When the ship first arrived, they had the most items and the most complete items, so everyone crowded here at this time.

Many housekeepers of noble families in the crowd, their clothes were squeezed into crumpled like dried pickles, and they had to protect their hats with one hand and support the counter with the other hand, reporting out the lists they had memorized one by one.

Those who have a good relationship with Prince Sham can make reservations, but other nobles with average relationships do not have this treatment, and they have to send butlers here to guard them.

There used to be seafood from the port, but Curry people don't eat these weird things.Now these weird-looking seafood have been developed the correct way to eat one by one, and then they are all the rage in Curry.

For example, the sea cucumbers that look like miniature maces need to be soaked and boiled together with fish maw and millet porridge to make a very delicious and thick soup.Among them, soaked sea cucumber and condiments are very important, and it will be delicious if it is done well.

"Give me three... no, five pots of drunk pickled crabs." A housekeeper loudly announced what he needed.

"Hey, Wutan? Are you eating it as bread? Why don't you let yourself die?" The people behind him were not happy, because he also wanted to buy crabs in jars, and what to do after the ones in front were sold out?

The young girl in front of the counter reassured everyone: "Don't worry, there are a lot of jar crabs here."

Drunken pickled crabs are the freshest crabs, open the lid and wash them, then put them in jars, pour saturated brine and spirits, and seal them with oiled paper, which can be kept for several months.

It is said that this kind of crab can be eaten without cooking, just chop a little ginger and sprinkle it on it.

The marinated crab has a salty taste and a bouquet of wine, the meat is tender and smooth, and the taste is extremely delicious.But like sea cucumbers, people who like them like them very much, and those who don't like them won't even touch them.

There were too many people at the gate of the port specialty store, Yunze looked at it for a while and then went to his own soy sauce shop next door, but he saw them in the background carrying jars containing fermented bean curd and soybean paste.

I almost forgot that Prince Sham also opened a "Kuri specialty store" at the port, and the boat brought the seaside specialties, and then brought the Kuri specialty, and he could earn a lot of milk powder for Prince Sham. money.

Most of the products sent to the port are soybean products, sugar, and beef and mutton products.These are for food, and there are also colorful cloth artificial flowers and rag dolls from the dyeing department of Princess Sharjah, and Yunze's bath products and cosmetics.

These things will be sold out soon after arriving at the port. Only half of them are bought by port residents, and the other half are bought by merchants from other countries.

These are limited purchases.If those merchants wanted more, they got Curry.Over the past year, there have been more businessmen in Curry, and there are several more hotels in the commercial street.

But the most profitable person is of course His Majesty the King. His Poseidon and the rented Yunze’s Happiness are full of cargo, and under the protection of more than 20 escort ships, they go directly to the ports of other countries to sell Taixi specialties. , and then bring back all kinds of materials needed in Taixi.

Taixi, who became rich, bought a lot of wood and made many warships. Now he is accumulating wood to make the next super ship.

Simply speaking from the quality and quantity of the ships, the Taixi Navy has risen, which makes Taixi's business very smooth, and no pirate dares to confront the Taixi fleet head-on.

The route taken by the Taixi boat is very similar to that taken by Yunze, only a little longer, the farthest to Hammond, and a big circle back.

The prices of specialty products vary greatly across the country. After a round trip, the profits obtained are almost equal to the gross income of salt in the whole country for a year.

And Yunze took advantage of this shareholder wind to push his brand of bath products, skin care products and cosmetics to more than a dozen coastal countries, and then directly replaced them with various spices, gems, special plants, and precious metals.

Rubber trees have been planted on the land of Taixi, and there are more than 20 adult rubber trees surviving and more saplings.In two years, Taixi will be able to use rubber products. At that time, the first thing Yunze will do is to make a still, distill alcohol and essential oils, and then make them into money-grabbing perfumes for export.

In addition, cashew nuts and almonds are also planted in Taixi, and the planting area will be expanded after a few years of reproduction.

The big ship sailing made many people see the commercial potential of Taixi, and more and more people suggested building a road from Taixi Curry to the port, so that they could quickly transport their goods out.

Yunze has seen the avenue planned to be built next year, which is zigzag, with the points pointing to various cities.Such a route can take care of the cities and villages along the way to the greatest extent.

His Majesty will contribute a lot, and the cities along the road will contribute their own money. They plan to spend ten years building a cement road from Curry to the port.

Yunze, who came from later generations, was dumbfounded. How powerful is the power of money, which can make the ancient kingdom spontaneously raise funds to build a standard cement road?

and so……

How could the traversers be compared to the ancients at this time?

Since this road will be the golden road of Taixi in the future, why not make full use of this convenience to seek benefits for the people?

For example, one village, one specialty, targeted poverty alleviation.
