I walk the career line in dog blood

Three years later.

"Candy really come out?" The worker wearing a moon-white turban was looking around the pointed basket, and crystallized sugar lumps had already appeared under the basket.The owner of the sugar workshop carefully pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, his eyes slowly opened wide.

"Sugar! It's real sugar!"

The workers cheered, and one after another said: "Our Zhizhou said that kohlrabi can produce sugar, so it must be able to produce sugar. I never doubted it."

"That's right, if I doubt it, I can't be admitted to the sugar workshop. Wouldn't it be better to go to the wool dyeing workshop next door? I can also find a female worker to marry, and the family will have two jobs. I don't know how good it is."

"Now that we have sugar, can we still make the condensed milk that Mr. Zhizhou said?"

"It's more than that? It can make anything, put it in porcelain cans, and sell it on the table of the kings of the Western Regions. It's not sure, we need another workshop in Zhanghua County, and we can recruit more workers."

"That's great. My younger sister has always wanted to work in a workshop. If she becomes a female worker, she will be able to choose a good family and recruit a husband."

The owner of the workshop looked at the crystallization of sugar, and his eyes were moist: "It's not easy. Wait for two years to wait for the kohlrabi to grow well, and wait for a year to experiment with various methods to make sugar. Sugar is finally made by us. In the future, in Zhanghua County, then But it’s a sugar-producing county.”

Dingsha's rubber, Pingqiu's set hare fur, Baisha's wool felt of various colors, Jiahu's dairy products, and now it's finally their turn to Zhanghua's sugar.

Rabbit fur and wool felt are not rare in the Western Regions, but sugar is.

Even if they know that kohlrabi can be made into sugar, they don't know how to do it.Keeping this secret recipe well, they will continue to make money from the mutual market.

This money can be turned into their children's lunch, into those cheap tools that are easy to use, and a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The workers of the sugar workshop walked out of the workshop with joy.The owner of the shop gave bonuses to all the workers, most of them want to save, but there are also a small number of people who want to buy something for themselves or their families.

"Buy some cloth, the cloth seems to be cheaper recently."

The mutual market attracted many merchants from the Central Plains, and the goods of these merchants gathered in Zhanghua County in Xizhou, which greatly enriched the lives of people in Zhanghua County and reduced their living costs.

Today's Xizhou is the richest state in the northwest region, and the following counties are clearly arranged by the prefect.This one grows rubber grass, raises snowflake cows, that one raises rex rabbits to make leather goods, some raises cows to make various dairy products, and some use dyed wool to make wool felt or flower blankets. Even Zhanghua County has become a well-known nationwide. The hometown of jade carving.

Now Zhang Hua can still make sugar, and it will make a lot of money in the future.

However, what the common people in Xizhou like most is the clean political environment in Xizhou.

Xizhou's finances are almost transparent, and everything, stitch by stitch, must be accounted for.As the magistrate of the state, An Yinong set an example, and the people below did not dare to fool him.

But the officials didn't complain, because some of the state-owned workshops were used as welfare for officials. They could receive thirteen months' wages a year, and welfare subsidies were given every holiday.

What is a welfare subsidy?It is 'filial piety'.

It's just that in other places, small officials send filial piety to their superiors, but here they are reversed, and the boss sends "filial piety" to their subordinates.

And they have this 'welfare subsidy' for officials, and those workers who work in government workshops also have 'welfare subsidy', such as rice noodles, meat and milk, and canned fruits.

Every holiday, people in Xizhou envy those who are officials and those who enter workshops.

To put it bluntly, being an official under the magistrate of Xizhou, his income is much higher than when he was corrupt and broke the law.Then who is willing to hold their heads and do things that are corrupt and lawless?

Not only are they not corrupt, but they also have to work hard for more year-end bonuses.

Whether it is bitter or not, look at Zhizhou writing a book and lighting candles at night, whether you are tired or not, think about Zhizhou's midnight sleep.

"As the days go by, there is more hope." That's what Tian San thinks. He has stopped going to the Western Regions for adventures, and now he has opened his own shop to sell jewelry made by the desert gem light.

This is a characteristic gem written in the book by the prefect of Honshu himself. It is inexpensive and beautiful. It is said that it is very popular among the people in the Central Plains.

"Third brother, long time no see."

Um?Tian San raised his head suspiciously, and saw a young man with handsome eyebrows and eyes, wearing a simple brown-yellow Hu suit.There was another person beside him, dressed in a black robe embroidered with dark patterns, wearing a jade crown, with sharp eyes, he dared not look directly at him.

Good couple!

but……

"You are?" He thought for a long time that he couldn't remember who this person was.

The visitor laughed: "Third Brother, we met once three years ago in the original Xiaoyao Pavilion. I am Tian Xi."

After so many reminders, Tian San remembered it, and he slapped his head: "So it's my brother. I didn't expect my brother to be so young after shaving. He looks like a scholar instead of a merchant. Who's next to you?"

"It's the insider."

Tian San was dumbfounded and was speechless for a long time.

"The head of the house." While talking, the curtain in the back room was lifted, and a woman holding a child came out. She saw An Yinong and the two, "Are there any guests?"

"Oh." Tian San woke up like a dream, "So it's an old friend visiting, this is Tian Xi, this is... his brother."

"It turned out to be the two uncles. I have something to go out and I will be back in a while. The two uncles will stay for dinner." The woman greeted with a smile, and put the child into Tian San's arms, "I will give the child milk later, I'm going to work first."

"Hey, you go." Tian San waited for her to leave, then held the child and said embarrassedly, "The child's mother works in the sheep felt workshop in the county, she is handy."

An Yinong recognized her, she was the girl from Xiaoyao Pavilion that day, what's her name?These two are still married, right?Lo and behold, there are children.

Seeing the child's rosy face, he thought it was cute, and reached out to untie a jade pendant: "A gift for the child."

Tian San saw the fineness of Polygonatum odoratum and knew it was a good thing: "No way, it's too precious."

"Hey, this is the intention of being an uncle."

However, Tian San still accepted the refusal, and he invited the two of them to have dinner together.The hospitality was hard to turn down, so An Yinong agreed.

In the evening, Cui Cui, Tian San's wife, came back and bought a piece of mutton, a fish and some other ingredients, and made a good meal of fresh fish and sheep.

"Where is my brother?" Tian San is curious about An Yinong's situation. He has been a businessman for so many years, and his vision is poisonous. This little brother is not simple, and the "siblings" beside him don't look like ordinary People are expensive if they are not rich.

An Yinong took a sip of sorghum wine: "It's in Jiahu." He should know the state.

"Jiahu? That's a good place. Our children's milk powder, milk flakes, and cheese all come from there. Jiahu's cows are now almost catching up with Dingsha's snowflake cows."

An Yinong smiled and said nothing.

"I never thought that there would be such a good life before." Tian San said with emotion, "To tell you the truth, I always thought that I would die in the Western Regions one day. So, I don't bother to marry a wife and have children."

He talked about the changes in Zhanghua County over the years. The road has been built straight and spacious, trees are planted on both sides, and many beautiful welfare houses have been built. boy big girl.

As long as you are willing to work, you can find a job, and you don't have to worry about making a living.

Because many workshops recruit female workers, there are many more female heads of household in the county, and it is not uncommon to become a married woman from being looked down upon.

People from outside the pass all ran over, wanting to enter Zhanghua County, and even the horse thieves came over and surrendered. They were really afraid of being killed by the garrison soldiers.

But it was the Shen family that had changed the most.

"The Shen family is flourishing in the mutual market now, and the spices brought back from the Western Regions have been re-cultivated and made into more than a dozen different spice bags, which sell very well.

"It is said that there is a new breed of horse donated by their family to Zhizhou. It is better than the BMW of the Western Regions. It has become a tribute horse of the Western Region. The Shen family has also been rewarded for this."

"I still want to thank our Lord Zhizhou," Cui Cui came to pour wine for the two of them, "It is said that adults can turn stones into gold, and ordinary objects and unknown animals can be raised by adults."

For her, Master Zhizhou of Xizhou is the benefactor of all of them.It is thanks to him that these poor women can escape the fate of being welcomed and sent, and can gain a foothold in this world with their own abilities.

Satisfied with food and drink, An Yinong and Gu Zhengzhong left Tiansan's house, and they took a walk under the moonlight.

The three-year term of office had expired, and Emperor Qi asked him to return to Beijing to report on his duties. The meaning revealed there was that he wanted him to be transferred to the southwestern region as a magistrate on a regular basis.I'm afraid that he is leaving Xizhou, so An Yinong will come out for a walk, which is also a kind of farewell.

"It's not bad to go to the Southwest to be an official." An Yinong was very happy. He didn't want to be an official in the capital either, because he didn't know how to deal with people.

"The place where I want to go is like spring all the year round, but there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants. In my opinion, it is good to develop the flower industry, such as flower essential oils, floral dew, rouge...or raise snakes, snakes are full of treasures, snake skin, snake oil, snake gall Or the whole wine. Raising scorpions is also fine."

"...Actually, it doesn't matter where you go, what matters is that you stay with me."

The hands of the two of them lightly hooked together, and An Yinong looked up at the clear glow in the sky: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight...huh?"

The moonlight is like a silver yarn, and the silver yarn covers two close figures.

Thousands of years later.

"The national treasure we are going to introduce today is the Splendid Picture of Thousands of Miles."

A beautiful map appeared on the screen. The blue ones are water, the green ones are fields and forests, the white ones are roads, and the black ones are cities. There are also notes on other minerals such as gold mines, iron mines, and charcoal.

"The "Splendid Map of Thousands of Miles" is the most complete map of the country's territory in the early days of the founding of the country so far. If you compare it with the map detected by modern satellites, it is almost the same.

"And it marked the mineral deposits, special products, environment, transportation, etc. of various places in Qi State at that time, and there are small print notes on one side. It is the best reference book for us to understand the powerful country thousands of years ago."

The Qi Dynasty is a dynasty that cannot be ignored in history. It emphasizes education to open up people's wisdom, pays equal attention to agriculture and commerce, emphasizes the legal system to restrain land mergers, equal rights for men and women, open-mindedness, and accepts all rivers.

Now many foreigners call their country, and the pronunciation is still 'Qi'.

Because of the development of maritime trade routes, trade and talent exchanges with more than 100 countries (poaching people, philosophers, scientists, geographers, painters, musicians...).So other countries also keep records of the 'Qi Dynasty'.

According to their records, in Qiguo, everyone from an eighty-year-old woman to a three-year-old child can read and understand etiquette.At that time, most cities in Qiguo had their own daily newspapers and universities, which attracted many foreign scholars.

It is even more common for women to be businessmen, officials, and heads of households in Qiguo. The liberation of women's power has also led to the development of the country's productive forces. Female politicians, scientists, writers, and artists have emerged in an endless stream.

It is said that Qiguo's system has also inspired other countries.

For commoners and women, it is paradise on earth, and for noble men, it is also paradise on earth.

Because Qiguo's commerce is developed and technological innovation is encouraged, there are all kinds of fun things.The expensive wine, sugar, spices, and fine cotton silk satin they have are all things that common people can afford in Qi State.

The poets said that when they return to their homeland, there will be a feeling of returning from the civilized world to the tribal age, so many people do not want to go back after living in Qiguo.

Because Qichao is so famous, the host skipped the introduction to Qichao and directly talked about this picture: "And the owner of this picture is Tian Wenzheng Tian Yinong, who is jokingly called the director of the No. [-] Poverty Alleviation Office in ancient and modern times by our netizens. He was also one of the three ministers who participated in the formulation of the century-old national policy in the early days of Qiguo.

"As for the original author of the picture, it is now believed to be Tian Yinong's teacher, Mr. Gu Zhengzhong."

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV suddenly showed ambiguous smiles.

The shock brought about by the excavation of "Tian Wenzheng's Tomb" three years ago is still exciting when I think about it now.

Who would have thought that Tian Wenzheng, who was rumored to be unfeminine and dedicated his life to the common people, actually had a sweetheart in his tomb? There are still some letters and tokens they exchanged when they separated the two places, and even Tian Wenzheng. A portrait of 'Gu Zhengzhong' painted by Wen Zheng.

It's a pity that in the environment at that time, it was not easy for men to fall in love. It was still a teacher-student relationship, and the two of them could only be separated by two places, passing letters to each other to express their affection.

Judging from the content of the letter that has been disclosed, there is no one else around the two of them, especially Tian Wenzheng. According to historical records, there is not even a servant girl around him, and everything is done by himself.

On one side are the poor people and the vows they made when they were young (mentioned in the diary of Emperor Qi Guo Gaozu), and on the other side are the lovers who love each other.

"The world is safe with the law of wishful thinking, worthy of the people and worthy of the nobles?"

Tian Wenzheng reluctantly chose the common people of Limin, and never married in his life.

And Tian Wenzheng's teacher, the man who only appeared in Tian Wenzheng's letters, for the ideal of his lover, he would rather endure the pain of lovesickness than appear in front of the world, but secretly did many things for him behind the scenes.

Wherever Tian Wenzheng went to be an official, he collected the information there, assembled it into a book and sent it to him.Afterwards, he took great pains to produce the "Splendid Picture of Thousands of Lis", which seemed unbelievable given the technological conditions at the time.

Thinking of this pair of lovers who went two-way, but couldn't be together because of the times, the audience sighed.

The host on the stage knew what the audience was sighing, and the "Eternal Infatuation Teacher-Student Love" probably had already started swiping the screen, but he didn't want to talk about the details in this regard, so he just took out Tian Wenzheng's biography and started to introduce this character. After all, this picture His creative background and role are closely related to this character.

Tian Xi, styled Yinong.His ancestral home is Huizhou, and later moved to Pingjiang Prefecture. "Enlightenment" famous statesman, writer, educator, novelist, painter, musician.

Tian Yinong lost his father and mother when he was young, and fled to Pingjiang Prefecture, where he bred three brocade fish to make a living.Later, he successively served as magistrate of Xizhou, magistrate of Nanjin, and governor of Hui Province.

During his tenure, he presided over the establishment of the Northwest Mutual Market and Pingjiang Trade Port, excavated more than [-] species of economic species for various places, introduced more than [-] species of foreign high-quality crops, and actively promoted civilian education and women's employment.He is the author of more than ten novels such as "The Legend of the Desert Heroes", "The Journey Among the Flowers", and "Hundred Ghosts".

Because of his act of "writing books for the people", the world respects him as "the prime minister of the country".

At the age of [-], he died of illness and took office. The people cried and sent him ten miles away.Later buried in the Mausoleum of Meritorious Service, it was written by Emperor Wu of the third generation as "The Backbone of the Country", which was presented to the Taishi and Xian Guogong, and was given the posthumous title of "Wenzheng".
