There is a space man in the village [Rebirth]

Huo Chengyi couldn't find out how the Seventh Prince operated in the capital, he just had to wait patiently for news.

When winter comes, outdoor activities are basically impossible, and the remaining houses in the valley can only be carried out after spring.

Such a long winter cannot be wasted. The weaving can be done indoors. Once the carpenter builds the loom, the weaving and making of clothes can begin.

The entire production Huo Chengyi also adopts assembly line operation.

Handling, weaving, embroidery, sewing and other steps are divided and cooperated, no matter male or female, they can do what they are good at and cooperate with each other.

Among them, weaving is the most important thing, and making clothes is second. The ready-made clothes come slowly, and the cloth must be produced in a hurry this winter, and it can be sold quickly for profit only in the spring.

For the time being, Huo Chengyi does not plan to sell the cloth in Tongniu County as the place of origin, and the secrets of the valley cannot be revealed.

He planned to go to Heisangang, and take advantage of Heisangang's convenient terrain to sell cloth from Heisangang to various countries.

At that time, others will only think that Hei Sangang is the original distribution place of the cloth, but they will not think that the real behind-the-scenes boss and production are in the back mountain of the small village of Huangxi Village.

In addition to production, Huo Chengyi, the slaves in the valley who are preparing to train for dispatch work, is more concerned.

Went to the valley every night all winter to teach something professional in person.

Transportation and communication are the two most difficult problems in ancient development.

The Seventh Prince will take care of the road construction, and he will handle the communication by himself.

The few radios in the space are his trump cards to promise the Seventh Prince an excellent army of one million in five years!

Although there are not many radios, the ancient times did not have various signal interferences like modern times, and the communication distance would be much longer.

Huo Chengyi has already experimented with Xiaobai in private, and the effect is far beyond his expectation.

In the future, when the slaves are dispatched abroad, if there are any plans and news, he can sit in Huangxi Village and give orders, remotely control various places from thousands of miles away, and control the first news.

It's a pity that there is no material to make more, and only the inventory of space can be used.

The most important thing now is to brainwash the available slaves in the valley as soon as possible so that things can proceed smoothly.

The slaves in the valley are not well-educated, but they all have perseverance, and they will work hard to complete what the master orders no matter how difficult it is.

Huo Chengyi couldn't give everyone a detailed lesson on various professional things, and all used rote memorization of various code operations. The slaves are not stupid, and they learned most of it in Tianxue throughout the winter.

Winter to spring.

Time passed silently, and it was spring in a blink of an eye.

After several months of discussion and traveling, news finally came from the imperial court.

On the third day after the snow melted, a group of officers and men arrived in Huangxi Village, carrying several boxes of rewards and imperial edicts.

"Imperial decree, Daniel, hurry up! The imperial court wants to reward our Huo family!"

When Uncle Huo heard what the officers and soldiers said about their visit at the entrance of the village, he was so excited that he ran back and shouted in person.

When the news arrived, Huo Chengyi was breastfeeding the two children at home. The sudden roar and knock on the door made his hands tremble, and the goat milk in the spoon washed the two children's faces.

Before he could open the door, Uncle Huo broke in by himself, panting and talking intermittently about the officers and soldiers coming from the village to announce the imperial decree.

Huo Chengyi couldn't bear to wait for this news, everyone said it was a reward, it must be good news, he handed over the child to Mrs. Dong and his mother-in-law, and dragged Xiaobai to the entrance of the village.

Amidst a group of lively onlookers, the officers and soldiers read out the imperial decree.

"...Huo Chengyi, a farmer from Huangxi Village...has made great contributions to his brick-burning skills...a special gift of one hundred taels of gold and three thousand silver. The team can give priority to the passage of merchants in the territory of Zhao..."

"Master, what does the edict mean?"

Mrs. Xue knelt beside Uncle Huo, hearing these eloquent imperial edicts in a fog.

"Daniu dedicated his brick-making skills to the imperial court. The imperial court not only rewarded Daniel with silver, but also exempted all Huo family members from corvee and field taxes, and also gave him a golden signboard..."

Uncle Huo explained excitedly in a low voice.

Silver rewards are nothing, but the exemption of corvee and land tax is the big deal, and the most important thing is the gold medal of "good businessman".

He doesn't understand the meaning of the gold medal and the priority of the merchants, but whoever has the items and signs given by the emperor is an incomparable honor and a transcendent existence.

Not to mention asking those dignitaries to kneel down to them, but in a small place like Tongniu County, enough county magistrates respect Huo's family three points!

"Damn it, Daniel is really capable, baby, why did he present it to His Majesty..."

After hearing this, Xue was so happy that she didn't know how to describe her mood.

Who wouldn't know how to offer treasures, maybe there are not many people who offer gifts to His Majesty to leave their names. Ordinary people don't even talk about seeing the emperor, they can't even enter the palace gate.

Uncle Huo and the others were also shocked.

Thinking of the last time Huo Chengyi approached them to discuss the future choices of the Huo family in secret, only then did he realize what big tree they believed the Huo family really relied on.

Now this result is in Huo Chengyi's expectation.

But he really didn't expect that the Seventh Prince of the Connecting Pass would also get his hands in an open and aboveboard way. He originally thought that he would only open the back door for him secretly now, and he would formally give him the privilege of traveling with him in the future.

It seems that the Seventh Prince's power in the court is greater than he imagined. It's not that His Majesty doesn't want to get rid of it, but he can't get rid of it at all.

I don't know why it makes the current emperor feel so aggrieved. These courts are really complicated...

Huo Chengyi muttered in his heart after receiving the imperial edict, but the people in the village exploded.

The imperial decree, that is the imperial decree and reward written by the emperor himself. It is not an exaggeration to say that the glory of the ancestors is such an honor.

Several clan elders in the village looked at Huo Chengyi this time and really laughed stupidly. They held their chests and were lucky not to fight against this guy. This kind of honor is not only for the Huo family, but also for their Huangxi Village.

"Celebrate, such a happy event must be celebrated! Jin Shui, hurry up and prepare to worship the ancestors!"

The clan elders pushed Uncle Huo with a bright smile and urged him to prepare for ancestor worship and celebration.

Of course, such a glorious event should be celebrated. That night, Uncle Huo led everyone in the Huo family to stand at the front of the ancestral hall, with the villagers behind, and performed the ancestor worship ceremony.

Then, under the leadership of the clan elders, Huangxi Village held a celebration banquet in the flowing water for three days and three nights.

Not only did the village chief Lizheng come when he heard the news from around, but even the wealthy lords in the town also came to congratulate in person.

All the members of the business alliance are here, and everyone is full of excitement.

Ordinary people don't know the benefits of the priority of the merchants, but they, the traders, know that the Huaxia Business Alliance shares resources and contacts.

In other words, they can also enjoy the benefits brought by the signboard of 'good business'.

Once again, everyone was extremely grateful for joining at the beginning.

And those merchants who gave up at the beginning are beating their chests and regretting at the moment. Who would have thought that a small Huo family could get the imperial court!

This time, Huangxi Village is really famous in the ten miles and eight towns.

The Huo family is even more so. All the lively gossip about buying officials before was overshadowed by the Huo family's reward from the emperor.

However, the limelight was overshadowed, and the matter of buying officials was still going on, and all talented scholars at home wanted to try this opportunity.

If you can buy it, you will buy it. If you can't buy it, you will take the three-year scientific examination next year.

Huo Chengyi is also paying attention to this matter.

This time, the most promising buyers are Liao Bocai from the Liao family, and another Qiao Xiucai.

Liao Bocai didn't say much, the backer was the money support from his grandson when he went out. Although Qiao Xiucai's family didn't have such a "strong" financial support, but I heard that the family seemed to be somewhat nepotistic.

In addition, Mr. Li in the county town has some opinions on the matter of buying an official. Recently, he is organizing his students to find something to protest against...

So, it's really not sure who will be the magistrate of Tongniu County, and all kinds of black-box operations are in full swing.

The old lady of the Liao family ran to the door of Huo's house when she had nothing to do, proudly showing off that her son was going to be the county magistrate.

Huo Chengyi couldn't help but smirk, he was too lazy to argue with that woman.

The sooner you are happy now, the more annoyed you will be crying.

In the face of absolute power, any secret operation in the officialdom is a joke, and the position of Tongniu county magistrate will only be someone sent by the Seventh Prince to monitor and assist him.

Not surprisingly, the new county magistrate of Tongniu County came to take office less than half a month after the officers and soldiers who announced the imperial decree left.

When the people came, they were accompanied by the master of the Jiangzhou county government. Even officials like the county government accompanied them. One can imagine the background of the new county magistrate.

As for Liao Bocai and other scholars who were related to the money, they lost their wives and lost their soldiers this time, and the money was spent in vain without fighting.

Not to mention that no one dared to go to the county government to refund the money, so they could only eat Huanglian dumbly and stare at the new county magistrate taking office.

Compared with a group of people who want to rely on money to buy officials, this new county magistrate has a background and strength.

On his first day in office, he announced the news of 'National Crowdfunding for Road Construction' brought from the capital.

The imperial court has always been one-sided in handling affairs.

If merchants are asked to pay, they must pay. If good words cannot persuade them, they will be forced.

Compared with the noble power, the merchant's wool is the best to shave.

The official document was released, and after waiting for three days to see that the merchants in the county had opinions and didn't want to bleed, the new county magistrate directly found a few typical examples to kill chickens and monkeys.

He copied people's property for any crime, and his style of behavior was simple and rude, scaring a group of merchants into quails.

One of them is a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

When the crowdfunding official document was issued, Huo Chengyi asked the members of the business alliance to lead the donation, but there were always one or two lucky ones who refused to listen.

In order to guarantee the prestige of the business alliance, Huo Chengyi had no choice but to intercede with the new county magistrate before he could keep it.

Fortunately, he guessed correctly, the new county magistrate is a member of the Seventh Prince, so this matter will be easy to handle.

People are saved, but those who don't listen to the business alliance will be punished.

Turning back to summon the members of the business alliance, Huo Chengyi ruthlessly expelled this disobedient member in front of everyone.

"The business alliance has the rules of the business alliance. It is based on the previous affection. Now I will protect Wang Shi once, but according to the rules of the business alliance, Wang Shi refused to obey the order to be dispatched, and was expelled from the business alliance. From now on, he will no longer enjoy the treatment of members of the business alliance. "

There are no rules, and if the business alliance treaty is not strictly enforced, these small mistakes will be fatal damage to the business alliance in the future.

"After this incident, everyone has also seen that our merchants have no chance to resist in front of the power of the imperial court. The status of merchants and dignitaries is different. The establishment of a merchant alliance is not only mutual cooperation, but also unity..."

"Everyone gathers firewood, and the fire is high. I hope that you will not be disobedient or violate the business alliance treaty in the future. As long as everyone acts according to the rules, as the chairman of the business alliance, I will do my best to protect every member."

"Every member who is working please remember: the business alliance is everyone's umbrella. If you want to be rich and stable, let's keep this umbrella intact!"

The more the imperial court exploited the merchants, the more the merchant alliance could gather the hearts of the merchants.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Chengyi destroyed and reorganized the three views of the members of the business alliance.
