The Great Zhou Dynasty finally protected the twelve states that had been recovered by the Spring Equinox. As the chambers of commerce under the major families in the Great Zhou Dynasty capital city settled in, after a brief period of chaos and turmoil, the balance was finally maintained.

This war is coming to an end, and in the blink of an eye it is March, spring plowing has begun, and the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Five Barbarians have also stopped their attacks and concentrated on domestic farming.

The five states under the jurisdiction of the Jiangzhou Prefecture have begun the first round of vigorous reforms. Because of this reform, Ling Xin'an asked Ling Shuang sisters and Xia Xiaoyu to set up different chambers of commerce to manage projects. Therefore, before this, Ling Xin'an will be in

All the people in charge outside were called back.

Zhang Guangcai, Zhang Runtu, Ma Yuanqun, Goldman Sachs, Ling Shuang, Ling Xue, Lin Wei, Xia Xiaoyu, Gao Jie, these big shopkeepers who were busy with Ling Xin'an, gathered together at this time.

Ling Xin'an didn't say much, but showed the future business plan to everyone for the first time and made reforms at the same time.

Ling Shuang and Xia Xiaoyu are the executors directly responsible for all business, Ling Xue is responsible for contacting the major chambers of commerce in Jiangzhou City, Zhang Guangcai is the manager of future business expansion, Zhang Runtu is responsible for the management of all restaurants and catering, and Lin Wei is responsible for all

For the smelting and expansion of minerals, Goldman Sachs is responsible for mineral exploration and transportation. Ma Yuanqun was previously responsible for exploration and is now responsible for trading minerals with all chambers of commerce. Gao Jie is responsible for the future production and manufacturing of the textile industry.

The meeting lasted for half the night. After that, Ling Xin'an drank and talked alone with Ma Yuanqun, Lin Wei, Goldman Sachs, and Zhang Guangcai's uncle and nephew. Because of these hard and heavy tasks, Ling Xin'an really had no one and could only rely on a few of them.

Ma Yuanqun told the truth earlier than Goldman Sachs, but this man really only knew how to work quietly and contribute. Many times, Ling Xin'an didn't remember this person very well, but it didn't mean that Ling Xin'an didn't remember him in his heart.

Ma Yuanqun was so grateful that he drank in the wine without saying anything.

After everyone left, Ling Xin'an calmed down her emotions and started the grand development plan of the five states.

After spring arrived in March, the ice and snow melted, and Ling Xin'an finally received letters from the three major chambers of commerce one night, saying that the prisoners of war he wanted had arrived.

Because after the autumn wind sweep was over, it was almost the end of the year, and there was heavy snowfall during long-distance transportation. I was afraid that these prisoners of war would die of illness and freezing, so they stayed in their secret base to provide for them, and did not start transportation until after the beginning of spring.

Looking at the densely packed prisoners of war on the merchant ship, Ling Xin'an felt a little unbearable. He came from time to time and was a stranger to this world. He had never experienced war, but in his eyes, whether they were Wuyi or Zhou people, they were all

It was precisely because of him that he opened the prisoner of war trade. He could not predict what kind of world these people, including who knows how many people, would live in in the future.

When the Chamber of Commerce saw Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Tao's boats, they were also shocked. These two boats gave them a strong sense of shock and danger. Such boats were obviously different from river ferries, but deep boats traveling on the sea.

Shang Ling felt at ease and was shocked again.

Soon, half of the two thousand prisoners of war were given to Goldman Sachs. Jiang Tao helped transport them, and there were also a thousand militiamen. They were more like Ling Xin'an's private army than militiamen. They left quietly one night and left at the same time.

There is also the Jiangzhou. The Jiangzhou carries a thousand battles.

The prisoners, a thousand soldiers and supplies quietly headed towards Xiaojiangzhou and disappeared into the vast sea before dawn.

After March, the spring rain comes again. This year's rain is more intense than last year. Fortunately, Ling Xin'an took a lot of flood control measures last year. The losses this year are not as huge as last year, but only for Jiangzhou City.

Ezhou is even more serious than last year. How many houses have collapsed, and countless people have been washed away and missing. The bodies that died on the river bank are even more shocking.

Ling Xin'an personally provided rescue services on site, and at the same time strictly ordered the refugees not to pick up dead livestock carcasses for food. At the same time, she arranged for the distribution of supplies and built temporary shelters to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic. She required everyone to drink boiled water and roped in all doctors to treat the wounded.

The continuous supply of material resources in Jiangzhou City ensured that there would be no widespread famine in Ezhou. Ling Xin'an also guided the people to dig for water and divert the water of the Yangtze River into the Ezhou river. In his opinion, the blockage of the Ezhou river caused the violent surge in the Yangtze River water.

The river that flows into Ezhou is narrow and does not connect to the Yangtze River downstream, forming a closed loop. This causes the Yangtze River water to pour in continuously and accumulate together, forming a huge waterlogging.

Ling Xin'an continued to guide the people to dig canals and rivers. After successfully digging a river channel only one foot wide that could be diverted to the Yangtze River downstream, the floods were visibly receding. In just one day, the waterlogging subsided, and the river water on the river channel

Turbulent, whizzing away.

Seeing this, Ezhou Prefecture Yamen He Zhiqing's face was full of shame. He found that he was not an official at all when he was following Master Ling. When he met a boss who tried his best to do everything by himself, He Zhiqing felt that he had never suffered such a big blow in his life.

of suffering.

After finishing this, Ling Xin'an came to the refugee camp again and began to express condolences. At the same time, she comforted the people and asked them to maintain their confidence in the court. The seeds they planted will be gone if they are gone. The government will provide them again. It doesn't matter if the houses that were destroyed are gone.

, the government office will help the people build houses, constantly encourage the people, and make them feel at ease. A different breath suddenly comes from the already lifeless refugee camp, which is a breath of hope. He Zhiqing looks at it blankly

Looking at Ling Xin'an's back, he remembered the rumors that came from the village closest to Jiangzhou City last year. The government office of Jiangzhou City personally came down to fight the flood with them. At that time, he thought that Ling Xin'an was just going through the motions. Now it seems that he is really

Did it.

This is why after the flood, the village was completely moved to Jiangzhou City.

It wasn't until the next day that the rain stopped that Ling Xin'an rushed back to Jiangzhou City and asked the court for seeds. The Ling Xin Security Department wanted the existing seeds suitable for planting here, and there were a lot of them.

But when Ling Xin'an received it, she still looked very ugly. The seeds were only one-third of the original request, and the rest was given to the national treasury. No more seeds were allowed, so Ling Xin'an sent it away.

"Haha, Hubu?" Ling Xinan looked at the official document with eyes thinking.

When it came time to distribute the seeds, Ling Xin'an still obtained enough seeds through her own channels. Ling Xin'an wanted to develop agriculture while developing business.

War burns not only money but also food.

With such busy work, Ling Xin'an arrived in early summer, and after the spring plowing was completed, Captain Huang received a letter, saying that he would return home on a certain day.

I have been away for more than half a year,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Captain Huang Qianfu wrote the letter and returned home. When he was sitting on the Zhou Dynasty warship approaching the Jiangzhou port, he looked at the majestic four characters and couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.

The Huangren were beaten and retreated steadily. Captain Huang's team gained a lot of merit, and so did he himself. Now he is the captain of the prefect of Jiangzhou. He is in charge of the captains of the five states, so he can be regarded as enjoying a part of Jiangzhou.

city ​​dividends.

Ling Xin'an naturally held a grand reward meeting for the soldiers who had returned victoriously, and then while they were recuperating, she discussed garrison matters with Captain Huang.

It's still the same as before, follow the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, not break through but get infinitely close. Jiangzhou City is not short of money, but it is short of people.

Fortunately, the people in the imperial court felt that there was something wrong with the operation of prisoners of war, so the prisoners of war and the people of the five barbarians who were captured by Qiufeng last year all became commodities and were digested by Ling Xinan and the major chambers of commerce. Now there are still people on the battlefield

There were quite a few prisoners of war and slaves. I heard that the people from the imperial court did not dare to take action, but the chamber of commerce immediately helped to solve the problem.

The prefecture of Jiangzhou needs a lot of labor, and the excavation of official roads along the river requires a lot of migrant workers in Ezhou, Yuanzhou, and Xinzhou, especially Yuanzhou and Xinzhou, which are close to the confluence of the Yangtze River and the sea, and will be built on both sides of the river.

Two huge military bunkers, this is Ling Xin'an's most important development strategy.

In less than half a year, Ling Xin'an spent more than 60 million taels of money. There is no industry in the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture that Ling Mansion is not involved in, so the entire Ling Mansion is very busy.

More and more people are being promoted, and more and more people are being recruited. Although the Ling Mansion is large, it seems that it is no longer enough to live in. So, the Ling Mansion is expanded again. After Ling Xin'an used the favors, fortunately,

The people were very grateful to Ling Xin'an, and a whole row of houses nearby became the residence of the Ling family.

Now Xiao He is responsible for the management of the entire Ling Mansion. Gao Jie has opened a third clothing store in Jiangzhou City because of her design talent. Ling Xin'an's requirements for her are one high-end store, two mid-range stores, and a low-end store.

Leave it to other chambers of commerce.

High-end products must have their own characteristics, superb technology, and unusual designs, while mid-range products are clothing that can be worn by well-off families.

Ling Xin'an gave her nearly twenty sketches and asked her to change them according to Da Zhou's costumes, but she couldn't release them all, only one or two at a time.

Since it was the first time for Gao Jie to be in charge of a shop, Gao Jie was also very busy and exhausted, so she handed over the entire management of the servants to Xiao He.

Early summer has arrived, midsummer is approaching, and the weather is starting to get hot. The academic style of Jiangzhou University has become more and more rigorous. Ling Xin'an has taught them three-dimensional geometric structures, mechanics, and elementary chemistry as a subject of physics. These unprecedented knowledge have made the students even more hungry. , but Ling Xin'an couldn't divide her time between two things, so she could only come to explain the course once every two days, each time for most of the day, and then the get out of class didn't end until the evening.

But this does not affect the students' sincere admiration and fear of this teacher, because even standing in front of him, they feel tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, what Ling Xin'an instilled in them was always the correct idea of ​​serving the country and the people, so even though the group of female war fanatics were used to running rampant in the school, they never bullied the weak. This also made the gentlemen of the school turn a blind eye.

Close one eye.
