Zhao Xiaole waved his hand and asked Meng He and others to take Ono Liucilang down. He ordered:
"Haosheng, keep an eye on him and continue teaching him Chinese dialect. Don't beat him to death for now. It will be useful in the future!"
Geological surveyor.
coal business.
Zhao Xiaole immediately sketched many pictures in his mind. The Dongyi people sent a geological surveyor who had been to the West.
The purpose should be to do business with the West.
Once a coal mine is discovered, Wanyihe will definitely hire people to dig it and transport it to the West in large quantities.
The West has definitely entered the steam age...
Wait a moment.
Zhao Xiaole thought of another possibility: Could the Dongyi people need coal mines?
If the Dongyi people introduced steam engines.
Then Jingyang lags far behind.
The changes brought about by the steam engine are not only reflected in the performance of the machine, it is also an epoch-making product.
It will drive the productivity of the entire society and produce a qualitative leap, and it will also give rise to the bourgeoisie.
I thought of Westerners suddenly driving steamships and launching attacks on the coastal areas of Jingyang at any time.
It's troublesome for Zhao Xiaole to even think about it.
no.
Jingyang was afraid that he was too far behind. Even though the enemy's threat was far away, Zhao Xiaole had to be prepared in advance.
Even if you can't catch up in a short time.
It is impossible to make the other party too comfortable.
Jingyang’s resources cannot go to the West.
He left Ono Rokujiro behind to help Jingyang find coal resources so that the steam engine could take off.
This is also the reason why the Dongyi people were left behind.
…………
The finishing work of Wanjiaji is proceeding normally.
The countdown has almost begun for Zhao Xiaole to return to Beijing.
Qin Sining and the prince both sent him letters respectively, urging him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and also sent him the rewards of the soldiers.
Zhao Xiaole's official title could not be increased, so he was given several honorary rewards symbolically, including a gold medal for immunity from death and the title of Prince with the Iron Hat.
Zhao Xiaole couldn't help but smile.
He really has nothing to gain.
Logically speaking, the land that can be sealed should be Fandi.
However, he still needs to implement land reform.
What does it mean to give yourself a fiefdom?
Just skip it.
Many of the soldiers below were promoted to first rank. Lu Xun and Wang Chong both became first rank officers and were promoted to marquis.
Naturally, there are other rewards as well.
Chang Kun, Meng He and others also received awards.
They are just stepmothers, and there is still a gap in rewards from Lu Xun, Wang Chong and others.
Chang Kun was promoted to the first rank, Meng He was promoted to the second rank, and some other rewards were given.
The remaining one, such as Zhoushan Lizheng, also made a lot of contributions in the battle against Wanjiaji.
There was no specific explanation in the prince's letter. He delegated power to Zhao Xiaole and allowed him to act expediently and award the reward on his own.
Zhao Xiaole called Li Zheng over and asked him what he wanted. Li Zheng replied that he had no requirements.
I just wish I could be farther away from the court.
Zhao Xiaole laughed loudly after hearing this, and continued to retain him as the governor of Zhoushan, while also taking charge of Wanjiaji, and rewarded him with thousands of gold.
Hearing this, Li Zheng was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly and accepted Zhao Xiaole's reward.
Trillion He left.
Wanjiaji has not become peaceful either.
Although the fish and salt industry has become a government property, it will continue to be sold, and everything will be left to Li Zheng.
What he was worried about was, would Trillions of Dollars retaliate against him?
Fortunately, Wang Chong and his Jin Yiwei will also be stationed in Wanjiaji, so he doesn't need to worry too much about safety issues.
Wanjiaji has long been established as a key place by Wanjia, and it is also backed by the port leading to the East China Sea.
Zhao Xiaole must station people here who are trustworthy and capable enough.
Li Zheng is a good choice.
After Li Zheng bowed, he left.
Zhao Xiaole looked at the sky outside, it was pitch black.
He picked up Qin Sining's letter from the table, got up and went to Angel's residence.
Along the way, after seeing him, the guards from the Yue Kingdom greeted him one after another.
Zhao Xiaole said no need.
The guard asked for his opinion, should he inform the coach?
Zhao Xiaole told him no need.
He didn't let anyone inform Angel, and quietly entered Angel's bedroom alone.
Make sure Angel has fallen asleep.
Zhao Xiaole quietly opened the door and walked in.
"who?"
A sudden scream came from the darkness.
There was a sound of wind.
Zhao Xiaole dodged away.
Zheng~!
An arrow was firmly nailed to the door.
Zhao Xiaole: "..."
"It's me."
The candles lit up.
Angel, who was wearing thin pajamas, saw the person coming clearly and shouted angrily: "What are you doing here? Get out!"
"Otherwise, I will kill you now!"
Zhao Xiaole walked straight over and said, "You are my princess. Is there any problem with me entering the princess's residence?"
Angel snorted and said with a hint of ridicule: "Do you have too many princesses? There are so many in the capital city, why do you come to me, a rough woman on the grassland?"
"Who said you are a rough woman? I don't agree." After Zhao Xiaole reached her side, he stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.
After struggling for a while, Angel did not continue to resist and said coldly: "Let me go! You...what do you want to do?"
Zhao Xiaole picked her up, threw her on the bed, and started to move her hands and feet.
Angel kept struggling and resisting.
Zhao Xiaole refused to give up.
Who was his opponent? Angel finally gave in. After screaming twice, she said with a red face:
"You...don't do this first, please blow out the candles first, okay?"
Zhao Xiaole waved and threw out a piece of underwear.
The candlelight was extinguished.
Then he practiced his massage technique.
Not long after.
Angel lost her voice again.
…
A storm arose and then subsided.
Angel, with her hair disheveled, was lying docilely in Zhao Xiaole's arms, her face still a little red.
She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Xiaole, then sighed slightly and said nothing.
Zhao Xiaole seemed to understand her thoughts.
He got out of bed and lit a candle. He found Qin Sining's letter from his coat and handed it to Angel.
"Look at this."
Angel had already covered himself with a quilt, covering himself tightly.
Zhao Xiaole secretly sighed that it was a pity.
Although I have moved my hands, it is quite nice to be able to take a good look...
Angel was confused about the result letter and read it. Before he finished reading it, he said in surprise:
"Is this... is this true?"
"How come?"
Zhao Xiaole had also expected it, and sighed and said: "The water in Jingyang is very deep, and there are many people who want me dead. Are you sure you want to go back with me?"
Angel threw down the letter, looked at Zhao Xiaole firmly and said, "I am your woman, it is your duty to protect me!"
"I don't care if Emperor Jingyang wakes up or not, I only know that wherever you go, I should follow you!"
What else can Zhao Xiaole say?
He nodded and said: "Okay, don't regret it!"
Angel, are you still listening to his nonsense?
He opened the quilt, turned into a flash of light and jumped out, riding on Zhao Xiaole.
