little fool's child bride

Liu Ziming never thought that making money was so easy.

According to what Xiao Xiao said, they only need to rent steam engines to merchants who want to upgrade their workshops, then they just need to sit and collect the money.They can build up the industrial area of ​​the city, and move these upgraded workshops in at that time, which can not only achieve efficiency, but also effectively control pollution, so as not to leave a country full of holes for future generations.Machines that are more efficient than manpower will greatly increase the production of various white jade products in a short period of time. When the price of goods drops, the common people will truly feel the changes that technology has brought to the world.

Of course the biggest change is the steam engine.The steam engine is more powerful than other manpower and hydraulic power for mine pumping. With the steam engine, the mine will be faster and more stable than before.When the country's iron ore and coal mines can be excavated in large quantities, the train will not be just a dream, and the rapid development of white jade will not be just a dream.

Xiangcheng has the largest coal and iron mines in Baiyu.As soon as the steam engine came out, Xiao Xiao wrote to Mr. Jiang to take advantage of the cheap housing prices and buy more real estate. The combined property of several people almost bought half of the land in Xiangcheng.Anyway, Baiyu's house did not have any property rights, and Xiao Xiao was not afraid that the land would be taken back by the state, so they almost invested all their spare money, and even borrowed a lot from the bank.

Although Xiao Xiao's actions are quite secretive, but as Mr. Xiao, who is well-known in the world, is now Bai Yu's left prime minister, naturally many people are watching his every move.Although they didn't understand why Xiao Xiao and the Jiang family bought so much land, they knew that Xiao Xiao would not do useless work, so they all sent their own people to find out the truth.Later, there were always some well-connected people who heard that Xiao Xiao seemed to have developed a train and railway that could be faster than the Maxima and smoother than the current cement road, so they all rushed into Xiangcheng and frantically bought fields.

Xiangcheng, which had been in a recession and was slightly depressed before, became lively in an instant.

Since Xiangcheng was occupied by the grassland army that time, although the sovereignty has been taken back, the dead people and the burned shops and objects will not be restored to their original levels in a short time.However, Xiao Xiao's actions attracted these "first batch of crab eaters", so while bringing in a large amount of labor, the reopening of these shops also contributed to Xiangcheng's economy.The magistrate, who had been grey-headed before, now went out with a smile all day long, and called Mr. Jiang brothers and sisters, saying that he had a good sister-in-law.

"Mr. Xiao is really amazing, he even thought of these things!" Xiangcheng prefect said in admiration.

That's right, these are actually all in the calculations of Xiao Xiao and Liu Ziming.

The roads in ancient times were high mountains and dangerous waters. The previous cement road was almost built by the whole city of Ju'an City to barely build a road leading to Xiangcheng. The rich merchants generously donated their money, and the villagers extended their hands to help, otherwise the road would not be repaired at all. no.Today, the cost of this railway is dozens of times higher than that of a cement road, and it is much more difficult. It is no longer a problem that inexperienced villagers can help and rich businessmen can raise funds to solve the problem.Although these people who have fully understood the benefits of cement roads are definitely willing to donate money this time, the country must pay the bulk of it.That's why Xiao Xiao sincerely hoped that Liu Ziming could pass the plan of using the power of the steam engine instead of manpower as soon as possible, so as to speed up the excavation of iron ore and coal mines.

Xiao Xiao received news before that Xiangcheng is simply a city of treasure mines, because not only are there rich types of mineral deposits, but also enough white jade will not disappear after hundreds of years of digging.Mine can be a white flower in any period of time!Xiao Xiao hopes to dig out the money as soon as possible, so that he doesn't have to worry about the lack of materials and money to build the railway.And what Xiangcheng has is not only mineral deposits, but also Xiao Xiao's canned fruit and cotton cloth.As long as the steam engine replaces manpower, then these two things can be transported to other cities in Baiyu as quickly as possible, which will bring a lot of tax revenue to the country while collecting a lot of wealth for Xiao Xiao.

The first batch of cotton cloth has come out.

Liu Yuhen bought a large number of white mulberry seeds this year, and added the white mulberry seeds from the first year, so in the second year, it can be said that the white flowers bloomed all over Liu Yuhen's farms.He immediately spun these into cotton cloth and sold them, which caused a wave of enthusiasm in Wangcheng as expected.Just as winter is coming, everyone remembers Hanjia Cotton Weaving after feeling the comfort and warmth of the quilt, and then squeezes into the queue to buy quilts.Unfortunately, the quilts were sold out in less than a month, so Xiao Xiao knew that her performance was about to begin.

Xiao Xiao's farm in Gaochang County, Xiangcheng also grows a lot of cotton.These cottons are different from Youcheng's varieties, and with the addition of sufficient light and water, the quality and yield have been greatly improved.Xiao Xiao used the textile machine driven by the steam engine to spin the thread, so the quilt was produced almost day and night, until the day when the cotton was exhausted.When Liu Yuhen's quilts were sold out, more and better quilts were shipped from Xiangcheng, and these rich people who regretted not getting them immediately bought in large quantities like crazy.

Along with the quilt, there are also canned fruits from Xiangcheng.

The plump fruit in these crystal-clear glass jars immediately captured the hearts of everyone, so those who have money directly buy jars, and those who have no money also go to the supermarket to buy a few loose pieces to try. smell.The fruits in Xiangcheng are top grade, all of them are big and sweet, soaked in this sugar water makes those people who have never tasted this distant fruit feel novel and greedy, and after eating one piece, they want to eat another piece.The gift box specially made by Xiao Xiao makes those who buy it as a gift feel more face-saving. After washing the glass bottle, it can even be used as a decoration, which makes those literati who have played with porcelain and jade all over.

"Mr. Xiao is such a wonderful person!"

From nowhere on the first floor came a sigh of regret, which made everyone feel sorry.It's true that people are more popular than people, and they are all the same age. Why does Mr. Xiao do one thing and achieve one thing, and now he is on the left, calling him a brother and brother with the emperor?When they were supervisors, Xiao Xiao was a Ph.D.; now they have been promoted to a grade with great difficulty, but Xiao Xiao has reached a height that they can't reach.The group of aristocratic children who claim to be the proud sons of the sky, the best thing they can do is to take classes in that Guozi Academy. Now let alone being an official, they even want to write books like the supervising students in the mathematics academy, but the result is Nobody looked at it at all.So this group of superintendents who were beaten to pieces also decided to work hard. Xiao Xiao was engaged in business, and they studied literature.So these people gathered together to study whenever they had time, and Baiyu's literary world was full of talents during this period, which can be described as "a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend".

Although Xiao Xiao didn't know that she was the driving force for these people, she expressed her affirmation of their actions. She even went to the Imperial College and delivered a speech encouraging them to create greater glories again.Half a year later, Xiao Xiao has long adapted to the daily life of Prime Minister Zuo, and she is not stage-frightened when facing people, and can talk freely with a calm expression.As for getting along with colleagues, he is even more careful, neither too close nor alienated.Loved by the common people and respected by his subordinates, Liu Ziming once laughed at himself for thinking that Xiao Xiao was not suitable to be an official.

"I'm really not suitable to be an official," Xiao Xiao shook her head, "It's not that I can't do well, but my character makes me think that I will find a job when I'm in the position, especially if the responsibility is heavy. So even if I No matter how reluctant I am in my heart, my reason will force me to go on, and I have to go steadily and go far.”

People are very contradictory creatures, and Xiao Xiao is a very typical one.Before he crossed over, he was just a small researcher, knowing that he was not the key person to change the world, so he let himself go, and felt that it was enough just to complete the work; but after he became the chosen one who was timed back, his sense of responsibility came to the fore Come, support him to persist in doing what he was determined not to do before.If it is put into modern times, let alone being a prime minister, he has pushed back several times to take up the post even if he is a monitor in a university, because he is afraid of trouble.However, in this ancient time, even if the only relationship between Bai Yu and himself was Jiang Muyu and others, he was willing to take on responsibilities that did not belong to him at all. Same.

Because God chose him!

So even if Xiao Xiao is so tired that she starts to feel sleepy every day after going home after eating, even if sometimes it takes an entire night to read the file, but he is willing.Every day he saw the aggressive appearance of the group of customers in the Science and Technology Park, he felt that he should work hard, otherwise he would be ashamed of the kindness of the God of Time Traveling and fail the expectations of the people.Xiao Xiao took out what she had learned all her life to study the similarities and differences between the development of Baiyu and the development of modern countries, hoping to find some references so that Baiyu could avoid detours.So before the new year, steam engines were mass-produced and shipped to Xiangcheng. Baiyu, or the world's first factory, was established on the outskirts of Xiangcheng.

Steam engines require a lot of coal. When there is no effective means of transportation such as trains, it is the best choice to establish the factory in Xiangcheng, which has the largest coal mine.So those who followed Xiao Xiao to buy a house finally knew what Xiao Xiao's purpose was. A large amount of coal was supplied to the steam engine, which then powered the entire factory that was almost half the size of Xiangcheng.Steel mills, glass factories, textile factories...these factories worked day and night, and then sent supplies to the cities of Baiyu.Mr. Jiang can earn back the cost of building the factory within a month only by charging a processing fee. Finally, those who bought houses with Xiao Xiao couldn't sit still, and asked the magistrate of Xiangcheng to issue a factory construction certificate for him.
