Baiyu’s salt production can be said to have experienced three technological revolutions, from boiled salt to fried salt to the current sun-dried salt, especially now sun-dried salt can be said to be able to produce thousands of catties overnight, and the quality should be much better than before It is!But the sea salt that Xiao Xiao got was half salt and half mud—who knows why mud was mixed in it.

"The Holy Majesty originally wanted to build a road from Wangcheng to Fengcheng, so that it would be much more convenient to transport salt and sea goods in the future, and the people of Fengcheng would be able to save money, so that they would not have to spend their entire lives fishing and eating fish. I came here to inspect the local conditions and customs, and I never thought that the Yanyun Yamen would be so corrupt, it is really distressing!" Xiao Xiao looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Do you know what kind of changes the railway will bring to Fengcheng? When the railway is repaired, Fengcheng may be richer than Youcheng, but in the end you—"

Xiao Xiao deliberately didn't continue talking, and frowned and let out a long sigh.If the magistrate below said that he was only afraid of Xiao Xiao's accountability at first, now he added great loss and regret, hating the group of pigs below for being so careless, and now he screwed up a great event that fell from the sky.So he gritted his teeth and swore to Xiao Xiao that as long as he was given three days, he would definitely wipe out the group of wine bags and rice bags in the Yanyun Yamen.

"I only plan to stay in Fengcheng for another ten days," Xiao Xiao snorted softly, "If you can't solve it within three days, don't be a prefect!"

Xiao Xiao knows what is called "there is no fish in clear water". If the ancient officials only rely on their salaries, they will not be able to do it, so he has no intention of doing anything to this magistrate who has obviously benefited a lot. Those in charge must be severely punished to serve as an example to others.Three days later, Xiao Xiao nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the Yanyun Yamen that had all changed into new faces and the stolen money from several carriages that had been found.

"Silver will be escorted to Wangcheng, and these people will also be exiled. As for the magistrate," Xiao Xiao glanced at the little old man who expressed his nervousness, "Let's not blame the past this time, but if there is a next time, even this time Let’s record severe punishment together.”

The little old man quickly knelt on the ground to thank Xiao Xiao for letting him go, and then introduced the products of Fengcheng to Xiao Xiao, hoping that the railway could lead to him.However, the ancient coastal area was not as good as the modern one. The erosion of sea water made the coastal area mostly saline-alkali land. Most of the food in Fengcheng had to be imported from Youcheng.After counting and counting, Fengcheng is just as expected by the two people, only the salt industry and fishery can be seen.

Yu Zhifu also saw Xiao Xiao's dissatisfaction, but he still didn't give up, and sent all the treasures he got a few days ago to Xiao Xiao.Xiao Xiao thought that the little old man would pay bribes because he didn't have a long memory, but in the end, he was given a big surprise by the magistrate Yu.

"These are the treasures from the Zhuyan Kingdom," Yu Zhifu carefully picked up the pearls and gold and handed them to Xiao Xiao, "It's a pity that the sea route leading to the Zhuyan Kingdom is not calm. The dark tide always capsizes accidentally, so you can only go there once or twice a year."

Xiao Xiao didn't expect there to be an island country. He originally thought that there was only a large piece of land on the other side of the sea that Liu Ziming mentioned.Excited, he quickly inquired about the prefect, and only then did he know that there are not only island countries, but also many, almost dozens of them.

"Their island is about the same size as our city, and they are rich in pearls, so they all use pearls as silver." Seeing that Xiao Xiao was interested, Yu Zhifu hurriedly asked the people below to send a few boxes of private possessions, and he forgot for a while. Exposing the fact that he was pocketing his own money, "These, these, all came from them!"

Xiao Xiao gave him a funny look, then nodded calmly and said, "That's enough."

Baiyu's factories can be built in large quantities by taking shares, and the country may consume part of it in a short period of time, but sooner or later the market will be saturated.So at that time, it will definitely be re-exported, and the island countries full of gold and pearls are good choices.Although the dark tide is terrifying, if they can have a heavy-duty machine ship with enough weight and power, then it will not be difficult.When the time comes to cooperate with the railway to sell the surplus domestic products to the island countries, Bai Yu will be able to subdue these people with little effort...

After Xiao Xiao figured it out, she asked the magistrate to collect information, and then returned to Wangcheng with the information.After the annual holiday, the construction of the railway leading to Fengcheng officially started. At the same time, the common people suddenly discovered that the price of salt had dropped by more than half, which was cheaper than private salt.It's just that all the merchants have a bitter face, because the newly issued decree requires them to go to the government to register and apply for a license, otherwise they will close the store if they are found to be operating without a license.But fortunately, it only costs one tael of silver to get this certificate, so it won't hurt these people.

Xiao Xiao is well versed in the principle of "boiling frogs in warm water". At first, she only asked for a certificate, and then slowly added various taxes.So when the one-year period came, Baiyu's business tax had already accounted for [-]% of the country's tax revenue.

The [-]% of the business tax is actually thanks to Xiao Xiao's business incentive policies.Xiao Xiao abolished the previous rule that the heirs of businessmen were not allowed to be officials, and at the same time built many Jiangtian colleges, and would engrave the names of those who donated money on the stone tablets that could be seen as soon as they entered the college.These merchants who have too much money to spend naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity to build their reputation, so Jiangtian Academy has sprung up in various cities, and the teachers are the students of Jiangtian Academy trained before Wangcheng.These businessmen's giving back to the society has made common people talk about it, and Xiao Xiao even brought modern foundations to Baiyu, so that these rich people can use money to support poor children who have no money to study.

Talent is the first resource. Xiao Xiao deeply understands this truth, so she tries her best to maximize the influence of Jiangtian Academy, because it is a technical school in the modern sense.In addition to the basic literature and arithmetic enlightenment classes, those who are talented will be left to support him to continue his studies regardless of their family circumstances, and those who are not talented can learn technology at a very low tuition fee.Xiao Xiao has a lot of craftsmen in his hands, and these master craftsmen can learn more than they go out as apprentices, so almost all the people in Baiyu are very willing to send their children to Jiangtian Academy.

These people can support a family of four even if they return to their hometown to be craftsmen after they complete their studies, not to mention those lucky ones who entered the Xiaoxiao engineering team, so who would object?

"Most of the remaining [-]% is the rent and fines paid by the industrial zone." Liu Ziming was still excited even after hearing it a few times. "The money for building the railway has been paid back."

Liu Ziming wanted to laugh when he said about the industrial zone, because he thought it might be the wisest decision he had ever made.I don't know how many officials objected when the industrial zone was to be divided before, saying that it was a waste of money and people, and that the two of them were whimsical, and it was impossible for someone to move things by themselves without moving them.At that time, there was an old official who said that he would die, but it happened that Xiao Xiao's factory was built at that time, and these people were slapped in the face.Later, when they were eating canned fruit and covered with quilts, they no longer called the factory a pest, but became more active than they were.So first it was Youcheng, then Ancheng, and then Wangcheng... The industrial areas of each city were crowded with large and small factories, and the annual tax revenue also successfully blocked the mouths of officials who still had objections.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that the railway would be able to send salt and sea fish from the seaside of Fengcheng to Wangcheng within seven days," Liu Ziming said with emotion. He was no different from those officials, but he just chose to believe It's just Xiao Xiao, "Fortunately, I listened to you at the time, otherwise how could the country be stable now, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"

Liu Ziming originally did not agree to lower the salt price, but he reluctantly agreed after Xiao Xiao explained to him how profitable the island country is.Later, after the railway was built, the large amount of salt transported back could not only be sold domestically, but also sold to the grasslands for horses. Liu Ziming felt more comfortable.When the pearls and gold from the island country were exchanged back, Liu Ziming was no longer upset when he saw the huge profits created by the processed pearls, and he only hoped that Xiao Xiao could be a leftist for a few more years.

"It's not impossible, I'm a bit reluctant to say it," Xiao Xiao smiled, "Seeing Baiyu gradually become what he is now, it's like raising a child, watching him grow up little by little. Not yet Seeing him show off his majesty, how can he be willing to leave?"

Now Liu Ziming felt at ease, and the two chatted happily, saying that they wanted Bai Yu to become a more powerful existence than Zheng Guo.Jiang Muyu later carried the drunk Xiao Xiao home with a dark face, and after she sobered up, she asked Xiao Xiao when she would step down from the left position.

"I promised him to do it for a few more years," Xiao Xiaosheng was afraid that Jiang Muyu would get angry, so he hugged him and said softly, "The railway in Xiangcheng hasn't been opened yet, and if I quit now, I don't know when it will be completed. .I don’t want to experience what it means to leave tea cold so soon.”

In fact, Jiang Muyu couldn't get away for the time being, because he was still carrying the responsibility of the commander of the imperial army, and the transfer order to Xiangcheng did not come down so quickly.So he didn't get angry, instead, he readjusted his future plans, expressing that he listened to Xiao Xiao's everything.Although Xiao Xiao muttered that what she said on the bed was nothing, she felt sweet in her heart. She was glad that she found a lover who could tolerate him and keep pace with him.Now that her career and love are both harvested, Xiao Xiao began to think about the issue of future generations.

"Do you want to adopt a child?" Xiao Xiao tentatively asked, "We are adults now, and we should have a child in our 20s in a few years..."

"Then can you accept that I only like you?" Jiang Muyu's eyes were burning, "I don't like anyone, I only like you."

"Xiao Xiao, I only like you."
