In midsummer, the wild grasses in the Guanzhong Plain are growing, the beards are flying, the cattle and horses are growing, and the millet and wheat are blooming.

Water trucks after water trucks stand along the Wei River and its tributaries on both sides of the river bank.

Some people even built huge river dams in some river sections, cut off a small river, and built workshops that used hydraulic power to drive forging hammers.

So, from morning to night, there were jingling in the workshop.

On the road in the distance, a specially improved heavy-load carriage was pulled by four horses, carrying thousands of kilograms of peat.

In front of the workshop, the black peat piled up into hills after hill.

The workers pushed deer carts and went between the hills, transporting the peat to the smelting furnace on the banks of the distant river.

The huge smelting furnace was breathing a lot of black smoke.

Melt countless ore, and the melted ore liquid flows into a crucible along the specially made pipeline.

The workers waving the huge iron handle stood on the dangerous crucible one after another, stirring the molten iron, and from time to time someone sprinkled various ore powders so that the molten iron could meet the requirements.

Liu Jin sat in his chariot and looked at all this from afar.

I always feel a little unreal.

In just one year, Guanzhong was a world of difference from Guanzhong in his memory.

He looked at the reports and documents sent by Shaofuqing in his hands, and his eyes were even more confused.

"In February of spring, the You Fufeng Song Qian said: "The 21 counties of Fufeng, I am a refugee, and I send you a visitor. I will go to you by my family, and I will go to you for seven or eight!"

"In April of the summer, Jingzhao Yi was in Jiyan to assist the emperor and pacify the people. He sent him to the twelve counties of Jingzhao. There were no remaining sons and no lost people. He signed a letter to Anjun and had eight hundred households with fiefs..."

"Huayin Order Zhang Anzhi, who served for three years, promoted water conservancy, promoted education, encouraged farming, and was promoted to the Left Pushe of Shangshutai..."

Judging from these reports and official documents, it seems that Guanzhong officials knew how to become officials overnight?

Moreover, they all seem to have become good officials who love the people as much as their children and have great abilities and perseverance.

Moreover, his ability is comparable to Guan Zhong, and his treatment is like Ximen Bao.

The problem of Yu Zi, who had troubled the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, has been solved in front of them.

But in fact, Liu Jin knew that this was not the case.

Officials, or those officials.

The people are still those people.

The only difference is that in the past, Yuzi could only be a ranger, sent a visitor, or even became displaced, so he had to sell himself as a slave.

But now...

Yu Zi of the people has a new way out.

If you have the strength, go dig peat.

Those with craftsmanship go to the workshop to work.

Those who are both strong and skilled can even become a major supervisor in a certain workshop.

No matter how bad other people are, they can still drive trains, transport goods, and make some money.

Moreover, as the use of peat surges, the amount of commodity trade increases.

The renovation and maintenance of Guanzhong Chidao can no longer be the same as before. The local government only needs to send someone to repair it every month, and then it can be fooled by the overhaul in winter.

The heavy carriages were frequent, and the roads were crushed into mud, so the court had to set up a special Protectorate of the Chidao, and ordered Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng to maintain the roads in the jurisdiction.

Then, the Chidao Protectorate paid Chidao tax to those business travelers and workshops.

So, hundreds of workers who specialize in repairing and maintaining roads have to be hired.

Of course, the government has always been stingy and stingy, so these workers are basically Chengdan Sikong people drawn from the Shaofu.

But this had a chain reaction, that is, there was not enough Chengdan Sikong in Shaofu.

Therefore, Shaofuqing forced local governments to strengthen law enforcement.

At least in Guanzhong, inside and outside the county town, those who dare to touch the law can no longer simply use money to redeem the money as they used to.

As a result, the Guanzhong area has appeared for the first time, with the number of remaining sons decreasing and the local security is quiet.

There are quite a few historical books that say "no way to pick up the remains, no houses are closed at night" and the people are "living and working in peace and contentment".

but……

Is this really good?

Liu Jin looked at the huge towering smelting furnaces, listened to the jingling hammers pounding in his ears, and then looked at the coachmen who still had to run on the road under the scorching sun, carrying peat.

He doesn't know.

But he understood that from now on, the world may be different from the past.

Something that seems to be unsettling is quietly emerging.

So he looked at the man sitting opposite him.

Now the initiator of all this said: "Zhang Qing, I am alone in reading the report from the Young Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. In just half a year, Guanzhong died in a workshop. There are more than a thousand people on the ore and roads..."

"It's more than ten times more than last year..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue lowered his head and looked at the blankets under the car.

He knew that this blanket was cut out of the Huns or Qiang people. He cut the wool from the sheep, then washed, dried, and combed the wool and turned into raw materials that could be woven by spinning and woven yarn. Then, it was sold to the Han merchants at an extremely cheap price. The merchants then resold it to Juyan's textile workshop, and finally woven into the blanket under their feet.

Comfortable, soft and beautiful.

A blanket is two feet and two inches wide and is worth a thousand three hundred coins.

If the blood and tears stained in it were vomited to the ground, Zhang Yue knew that every inch of the blanket would be covered with blood and tears.

Blankets are like this. Now, ironware that is sold in the world, especially agricultural tools of various colors, are probably similar.

Therefore, after a long time, Zhang Yue answered the question that he was ill: "Your Highness, I plan to transfer another 20,000 slaves from Juyan this year to Guanzhong, dig mountains and mine, cut wood and burn charcoal..."

Both of these are the places where deaths and accidents occur the most.

Liu Jin listened and didn't say anything.

Their king and his ministers have been together until now, and there is no need to say too carefully many things.

So Liu Jin knew that his minister was already determined to carry out these things to the end.

Last month, he even wrote a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to approve the permission of "among all the craftsmen, those who are capable and good at leading the people to assist the country can also be examined and examined."

So much so, a great scholar in ancient Chinese criticized General Yang as a "he who deceived the world and thieves, and a member of the traitors!" and even asserted that "those who disrupt the world must be Zhang Zizhong!"

Even Gongyang Zhusheng in the modern literary school is a lie to say that there is no doubt or criticism.

After all, although everyone cannot predict what the future will be like?

But one thing that can be confirmed is that a new force, a world that is different from the past pattern, has already revealed its outline!

It should be noted that in the past, the Han people and the Han people made cloth, the peak record was only more than 5 million pieces during the Yuanfeng period!

And now this record has been broken.

Last year, the Shaofu and the Grand Secretary of the People's Republic of China reported that the number of cloth and silk was only built by officials reached more than three million pieces.

Among them, wool products such as wool materials are a huge amount of millions of pieces.

As for this data, the weaving workshops in Juyan and Hehuang contributed at least half of them.

In addition, in the past, the Han family's iron smelting output was at most one million kilograms.

But now, the report from Shaofu and the Grand Secretary of the People's Republic of China has only been half a year since the Han iron officials have cast two million kilograms of iron.

In addition, there are 180,000 kilograms of fine iron and 60,000 kilograms of fine steel!

Especially the latter two, the output is dozens of times that of the past!

Behind these numbers are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, who are involved in the trade of these industries and commodities.

Moreover, the number of these people will increase, and more.

Confucius said: Is there no descendant for the initiator?

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, landlords and tenants appeared in Lu for the first time.

Then, it swept across the countries with a prairie fire.

In the end, the Legalists were born, and the Legalists led the vigorous reforms again and again.

Li Kui reformed the law in Wei, Shangjun reformed the law in Qin, Wu Qi reformed the law in Chu, Shen Buhe reformed the law in Han...

So, the fierce battle began.

When the curtain fell, the Zhou Li, the well fields that Confucian scholars were thinking about, fell apart and became a concept and ideal.

The nobles of Ji Zhou and the three generations of nobles and princes, were swept into the dust, fell into the rivers, and became the common people.

Without saying anything, Liu Jin understood, just for his family.

Emperor Gao, if it were during the Spring and Autumn Period or the prosperous period of the Zongzhou period, don’t say that the white snake will be killed and the world will be born.
To be continued...
