What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Princess Xincheng really feels that some of her previous beliefs have been destroyed now. Mingzhu has done a really good job, and the immigrants on the island are also convinced of her. The main reason is that Mingzhu can bring many benefits to immigrants.Mingzhu didn't even come up with anything new, she just developed agriculture and forestry sidelines just like what Li Yue did in Minyue a few years ago. The annual income was used as collateral to directly purchase several second-hand small whaling ships, and then rented them out to immigrants on the island at a low price to hunt for whaling.

These days, food, cloth, fish meat, whale oil and even whale bones are always easy to sell. For example, in Minyue, because there are a lot of sugarcane planted, sugarcane has now been used to make wine, that is, The rum mentioned by later generations, of course, in Datang, this kind of wine is called honey wine, because this kind of wine can be added with various fruits and herbs, and even used to blend with other drinks, it is very popular in Datang, such as In the Jiangnan generation, many families have begun to immerse fruits such as bayberry, green plum, cherry, and mulberry into honey wine to make fruit wine. Girls in boudoir will also collect edible flowers and use them to soak in wine. This also makes the honey wine produced in Lingnan very popular.Even, for those sailors, mead is a good thing that can replace clean fresh water, and they will eat fish meat with mead.Ryukyu is also very suitable for growing sugar cane. Mingzhu has specially set up a honey wine workshop on the island, and the sales volume is not bad.

In short, Mingzhu doesn't even need to develop any additional profitable projects. Now the income of Yinyue Island can meet the further development. What Mingzhu needs now is more population.

Princess Xincheng compared Yinyue Island with the towns she had seen in the Central Plains, and soon realized that as long as Mingzhu was given enough time, this island would become a good place comparable to the towns near Luoyang, Chang'an , the most important thing is that this is not like places like Guanzhong, where the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, the rich are surrounded by fields, and the poor have no place to stand. You can have a lot of wealth, so the residents on the island live a very good life, and their mental outlook is very different.

This can undoubtedly prove Mingzhu's talent. After all, many mediocre people don't even know Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, like many officials in the Tang Dynasty. Especially after becoming the chief official of a place, they may not be able to do it. On the one hand, they often take it for granted, and when they think it is a good thing, they force it. On the one hand, it is actually quite difficult to be a local official these days. In places that are close to it, it is a typical poor mountain and evil water. It is not easy to deal with the people below. They often resist change. With great vigilance in everything, it is naturally difficult to handle.In a slightly more prosperous place, you will face local gentry and aristocrats. These people have great influence in the local area, and their interests are often not consistent with those of the imperial court. Therefore, you must either persuade them, or use strong means To force them to submit, or to join forces with them, otherwise, you will not be an official for long!

Under such circumstances, Princess Xincheng thought about comparing Mingzhu with the local officials of the imperial court and using the evaluation criteria of the Ministry of Officials to evaluate Mingzhu. Can it be far better than most men?

After visiting Yinyue Island for a few days, Princess Xincheng proposed to go to Xinkang Island.

On the side of Xinkang Island, in fact, Li Xi did a good job. Xinkang Island is bigger and has a slightly larger population. It is Daxing education on the island.Originally, Minyue had done a good job of literacy work. Many of the immigrants on Xinkang Island came from places other than Minyue. Therefore, after Li Xi arrived there, he started to carry out literacy work, but for Xinkang Island The construction did not fall.Literacy is usually held in the evening. According to Li Xi's rules, as long as you can complete the study tasks of the day and know the corresponding number of characters, then you can provide a free dinner.Not to mention this era, even after more than 1000 years, when people hear the word "free of charge", there are so many that people can't walk.Not to mention that those old people would go to queue in the middle of the night because of free, even young people, wouldn't they be played desperately by Xixi?

For those people who have nowhere to go and can only immigrate, it is a very cost-effective thing to be able to save a meal. In particular, the meal given by the government is very real. It is not gruel but rice, even if it is used There are some rough broken rice, that is also rice, there is not much rice bran in it, besides that, it can also provide a sample soup and a dish, if you can read and write the words taught that day, you can even get A large piece of delicious meat is undoubtedly very attractive. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man who has a good quality meal. Those immigrants almost completed the initial literacy in the shortest time.Then Li Xi started to establish an assembly line production workshop on Xinkang Island, specializing in the production of various machines and various accessories, and then sold them.

The agricultural production on Xinkang Island is kept within a certain limit, and the rest are various workshops. Li Xi recruited a lot of craftsmen through various means, and brought some craftsmen with ingenuity and unique ideas in the workshop center. Workers are sent to those artisans to improve various machines.

In the beginning, the purchase of these machines on each island was actually to flatter Li Xi. After all, Li Xi will be their future ruler. Instead of causing them any disputes with Li Xi, it is better to get on the boat as soon as possible, at least When Li Xi succeeded to the throne, he couldn't remember that an official on a certain island used to be honest with him, and he didn't even take a good look at the machine he made, so he directly vetoed the matter.However, after buying them back, these people found that these things are worth the money, and they are so convenient to use.

Compared with agriculture, the added value of industry is actually higher, because in this era, most of what agriculture provides is raw materials, and the economic benefits directly created are actually very few. On the contrary, the added value and economic benefits that can be created by industry are very obvious.

On Mingzhu's side, whaling and fertilizer trading are actually the real income. On Li Xi's side, the grain and other things harvested in agricultural production are actually not a lot. After paying taxes, the rest is just enough To meet the normal needs of the residents on the island, there is at most a slight surplus. However, in the industrial field, Xinkang Island has almost achieved cornering overtaking.The assembly line does not have high requirements for workers, because they only need to be responsible for one of the processes, and it is easy to practice and make perfect, but the work efficiency is very high.Li Xi is not very interested in fighting and killing. He studied natural science with Li Yue since he was a child. Some of them have certain research capabilities. When these elites in this era join hands, their creativity is unimaginable to many people.Although they may not be able to make many effective innovations, even the improvement of just one link can bring many benign effects.The various machines produced by Xinkang Island are easy to use, and even if there is a breakdown, it is very convenient to replace spare parts. Naturally, the islands are too lazy to manufacture additional corresponding machines, but directly purchase them from Xinkang Island.Anyway, the distance between the islands of the Ryukyu Islands is not very far, so Li Xi's business is booming, and he can make a lot of money just by selling spare parts that are easy to wear, which also makes The residents of the island have become more and more affluent.

If you explain the operation of beads, Princess Xincheng can still understand it. Like Li Xi, Princess Xincheng feels that she has refreshed her concept. Work, and it's not bad at all!

"Fifteen Lang, I really feel that I am old!" Princess Xincheng shook her head as she watched the workers and craftsmen on Xinkang Island hurrying to the workshop on bicycles.

Li Yue said with a smile: "Sister is just a little older than me, she looks about the same age as me, how can she be considered old? As long as Sister gets used to things here!"

Princess Xincheng smiled wryly and shook her head, and said, "How can it be so easy to get used to it? I remember you invented bicycle tricycles when you were in your teens, but so far, in Guanzhong, these are still exclusive to the rich. A bicycle costs nearly [-] guan, how can this be popularized, but on Xinkang Island, a bicycle costs less than [-] guan, and a tricycle costs less than [-] guan, how is this possible?"

Li Yue just smiled. Industrialized and standardized production can easily turn those things that think they are high-end into cabbage prices. In Minyue, Li Yue has been promoting public transportation, between residential areas and industrial areas, A few four-wheeled public carriages can solve most travel problems. Naturally, there is no need to popularize bicycle tricycles. This is also to prevent people from making irresponsible remarks. After all, wooden bicycles and tricycles are not very strong. It won't take long to play as a toy.Therefore, steel is still used, but even in Minyue, the amount of steel that Li Yue can keep for himself is still limited. Even if it is to make farm tools and kitchen utensils, it has to be carefully registered, and the excess steel produced still has to be purchased by the court. If this kind of vehicle is really mass-produced, people will soon be ginsenged. After all, these vehicles can easily be turned into weapons when they are thrown into the steelmaking furnace at a critical moment. Naturally, they are easily regarded as weapons. There is a heart of disobedience.

It's different when going overseas. Datang doesn't like this place at all, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention to these places. Here, the imperial court can't control how much steel is smelted.

There are no iron mines in Ryukyu, but there are in Yizhou. Li Xi purchased a large amount of iron ingots from Yizhou, and produced various steel products on Xinkang Island. There was no problem at all.

Princess Xincheng took a complicated look at Li Yue. Although Mingzhu and Li Xi were governing an island, in Princess Xincheng's view, the actions of these two children were inseparable from Li Yue's influence. Therefore, Li Yue also It is a pity that he is only the youngest son of a concubine. When he was born, the first emperor had passed away for several months, so he was destined not to be contaminated with imperial power.However, in the view of Princess Xincheng, it's not that Li Yue has no ambitions, otherwise, how could he be king outside by himself?

On the one hand, Princess Xincheng feels pity for Li Yue. With Li Yue's talent, she can only spend the rest of her life in such a tiny place overseas. On the other hand, she feels lucky. Years, the ownership of the throne is still unknown.In addition, Li Yue seems to have no edges and corners, but he is actually a deviant. If he is really allowed to be the emperor, he will give his daughter enough room for improvement. Still can't calm down.In addition, Princess Xincheng was aware of Empress Wu's thoughts in Mingzhu, and she finally realized that Empress Wu was not willing to be a queen mother, and she wanted to proclaim herself emperor!
