Country and Beauty

Just as Zu Ti led his troops and infiltrated Jizhou, Xie Fei had also completed his theoretical design for the red-clothed cannons. Due to the restriction on productivity at that time, Xie Fei had no choice but to produce cannons faster and more effectively. Just when Xie Fei wanted to further improve the production efficiency of the Institute of Martial Studies, Xun Chuo reported that there was a financial crisis in the Cyan Plains. Originally, when Xie Fei took over detritus City, he obtained a considerable sum of wealth. However, due to the war with the Luoyang, the Black Shirt Army was exhausted.

After obtaining the gold mine in the Peach Blossom Jingshan, he received more than 5 million silver taels as property. However, the basic construction of Qingzhou, the arrangements for the hundreds of thousands of refugees, and the one million mouths for food were all simply a bottomless pit. Although Xie Fei had calmed the entire Qingzhou down, in terms of finances, he did not receive any income at all. Although Xie Fei had a gold mountain, at that time, the mining capacity of the gold was extremely low. It was only forty to fifty thousand tons of gold, and forty to fifty thousand was not a small amount of gold, which was enough for Xie Fei's army of more than a hundred thousand to spend. Xie Fei had originally planned to fully develop the hardware and facilities of Qingzhou City, then build an economy, and trade with the nearby cities.

Although it was difficult to become a hero with a single coin, Xie Fei wasn't worried at all when faced with the huge financial gap in the Azure Province. Although Xie Fei did not have the money, he did not reach out to the poor citizens. Instead, he thought of using his wisdom to exchange for money, and decided to use his own specialties first, such as brewing wine, producing glass, improving paper, perfumed soap, and so on. All these things were made using methods that left a small imprint in Xie Fei's mind. Once it was done, as long as he could get a large amount of money, he would be able to raise more armies. Only by letting the citizens of the Azure Province live a good life would they be able to stubbornly follow him.

Xie Fei was a decisive person, he would do it immediately if he thought of it, so there was nothing left to worry about, he immediately summoned all sorts of talented workers, and let them choose a large number of people from the refugees to be his assistants. Once Xie Fei succeeded in making the things that they made, he would immediately start a large scale production. Right now, what Xie Fei lacked the most was manpower. Right now, besides the more than four hundred thousand refugees and the more than four hundred thousand natives of the Azure Province, Xie Fei had at least two hundred thousand refugees. He was not lacking in manpower at the moment, and his money and food were enough to support him through the winter.

When Xie Fei was arranging for them to carry out research and experiment on the various items, he was a little busy. He finally realised that he was still lacking in talent, and many of them. Xie Fei immediately placed them at the Qingzhou University. Although there were not many students in the Qingzhou University, and all types of talents only reached the level of a junior high school student in the future, it was enough for Xie Fei, as he did not expect them to take the entrance exams, as for whether or not they would start a poem, that was not important. The most important thing was that they would have to specialize in one aspect, and Xie Fei established the engineering department right away, so he could let the engineering students in the Qingzhou University carry out simple training for them to help with the production of all kinds of items.

Before the Tang Dynasty, China's porcelain was mainly made of blue porcelain, so it didn't have exquisite porcelain like how it was now. Xie Fei knew that although the north had been through many wars and chaos, and was not living in seclusion, the south of the country was different, until the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, when there were no longer any wars, and the environment was relatively stable. Due to the chaos of the eight kings, the divine region sank, and the people of the north fled towards the south. Thus, the financial crisis in Qingzhou can be resolved.

As for the porcelain which Xie Fei knew about, the key was the material and the heating temperature. The porcelain must be made of porcelain clay. Porcelain soil is mainly kaolin, and contains feldspar, quartz and mullite components; iron content is low. After high temperature firing, the fetus is white, transparent or translucent. Xie Fei told Xun Chuo to gather all the pottery craftsmen among the refugees and teach them how to make white porcelain bottles, porcelain bowls, porcelain cans, porcelain plates and so on. The key thing was that since Xie Fei had taught them how to choose the ingredients to make, the temperature needed to increase accordingly, so all the other things should be done by the original potters.

Due to the gratitude of the refugees towards Xie Fei for taking them in, they felt that it was only right to do something for their benefactor. Therefore, Xie Fei only needed to pay them the food they consumed everyday, he didn't even need to pay them the wages they earned, in fact, he wouldn't take it even if he paid them.

Xie Fei also remembered that the wines of this era were too hard to drink. Although in the future generations, Xie Fei would be a wine lover, in this era, even the Imperial Palace's best brewed wine would not be able to compare to the worst kind of grain wine in the future generations. The method to brew wine was even simpler, the ancients already knew how to brew wine, but the wine Xie Fei wanted to brew was a high-purity wine, distilled wine. Only the highly fragrant ground wine would attract people's attention, and people would pay for it. A good horse with a saddle, wine with a china bottle. Xie Fei then copied the method used by the future generations to divide the wine he produced into high, middle, and low grades. The highest grade would be filled in blue and white porcelain bottles, each containing 1 jin of wine.

Xie Fei had only passed the method down to the craftsmen, and the craftsmen could do it themselves. He could at most give them some pointers at the most, but of course, all the knowledge that Xie Fei had imparted must not leak out. Once discovered, it would be equivalent to violating the rules of the army and would not be forgiven. As Xie Fei also felt pity for the girls, and pity for them when they entered the battlefield, but it was also not good for him to remove their weapons. Thus, he could only let the female barracks to supervise Xie Fei's factories.

After a few days of experimentation, the first batch of landmark products were finally successfully produced. Things like white paper, porcelain, perfumed soap and the like didn't attract too much attention. Especially for Black Shirt Soldiers who was a good drinker, the smell of the wine was like a greedy cat meeting a fish.

Xie Fei could only take out a portion of the highly pure and fragrant wine from the first batch and let them have a taste. It would be amazing if they could taste it, as they would always go to the brewery Xie Fei had people build, hoping to get some to drink. In the beginning, the people of the wine factory did not dare to stop them from getting drunk. In the end, it was Xie Fei himself who gave the order, anyone who dared to cause trouble in the wine factory to get drunk, would be directly arrested and whipped at least fifty times. Although Black Shirt Soldiers was strong and had thick skin and thick flesh, he still didn't dare mess around in the winery while rubbing his butt.

Now, Xie Fei had free food and clothing for these refugees, of course he had to exploit and exploit the migrant's labour force so that the whole population could mobilize and help with the construction of the essential factory.

With the wine, porcelain ware and the soap, Xie Fei believed that if these things were to be released into the market, they would definitely earn a lot of profits and corresponding economic benefits. Although he had the thing, Xie Fei was still a bit worried. The thing was already made, but how could he sell it at a good price. Xie Fei was troubled, he was not good at business, but Xie Fei had naturally thought of Yang Susu. Although the Yang family had also entered the Cyan Plains, but they had only dealt with a single field, which was food, and the Yang family s name was only given to cities of different ranks and ranks, such as the Cyan Plains, East Lai, and Grand County. The other problem was that the people of the Cyan Plains were miserable, and they did not have much money in their hands. Xie Fei knew that with Yang Susu's abilities, he would definitely not be disappointed.

Xie Fei thought about it and decided that he should find some big families of merchants as partners. This meant that he had to find some famous families in the south, because these families all had a monopoly over a certain kind of commodity, and they all had an extremely deep connection with each other. If he rashly invested in a certain kind of business, it would definitely stir up their interests, and might even lead to a vicious competition.

Xie Fei and the others were all new products that he had created himself, such as porcelain, wine, soap and so on. 's wine did indeed have a qualitative advantage, it was truly better than the wine they produced. They believed that Xie Fei's wine would soon occupy the entire wine market, and those aristocratic families that produced wine would only be able to find Xie Fei and become partners with him. Otherwise, once Xie Fei produced more wine, the amount of wine they could sell would also increase, they would be in a dire situation.

Xie Fei still decided to follow the example of the future generations and get new money for business. Xie Fei ordered the members of the Shadow Located in Jiangnan to gather information on the famous families of Jiangnan, and then invited them to Qingzhou to hold a gathering for money for business. Actually, the famous families of Jiangnan had also been paying attention to Xie Fei since early morning. And then, they would obtain the benefit they wanted from Xie Fei.

Xie Fei felt a little tired and at a loss. He sighed and decided to go out to see Zhuge Mingyue.

On the Mount Xian's waist was a small lake, and near the lake was a two story wooden house. The design was very exquisite, it matched well with the lakeside scenery, creating a scene that was pleasing to the eyes. Two graceful figures appeared beside the window on the second floor that faced the lake. One of them was Zhuge Mingyue, and the other was her servant, Xiao Lv. At this time, Zhuge Mingyue revealed an expression of pondering, she then laughed bitterly, revealing a vicissitudes of life. She turned her head and looked out the window at the lake shrouded in darkness, sighing with emotion, "Ever since Black Shirt Army started her career, no one in the whole world has been able to match him, and even rarer is that she has a strict military discipline, and has lived a good life with the common people, living a good life under the rule of 100 people, just like during the times of the culture and scenery." As she spoke, her eyes revealed a misty look, "Recover the Han Dynasty, and serve them all!"

Xiao Lv rolled her eyes, then kneeled in front of Zhuge Mingyue, blinking her big gossipy eyes, and asked: "Miss, do you want to meet General Xie?!"

Zhuge Mingyue looked at Xiao Lv, and nodded without the least bit of bashful, as she elegantly said: "I did indeed miss him!" Then her expression darkened as she looked out the window and leisurely said, "However, I know he doesn't belong to me!"

Xiao Lv wrinkled her nose, and said disdainfully: "Hey, that guy is really not a normal person, I just can't understand. Miss's family, body, looks, talent, which one of them isn't stronger than that Yang Susu, he actually ignored me." The more Xiao Lv said, the angrier she got. In the end, she swung her fists, looking like she wanted to beat someone up.

Zhuge Mingyue said: "Xiao Lv, give me a light!" Just as Xiao Lv was about to leave, she suddenly heard Zhuge Mingyue laugh miserably: "Emotions only come from ancient times. Good dreams are the easiest to wake up from. How could it be that picking a flower was hard to get rid of?

Fragrant Nest of the Lovers Society, New Sentence Jadeite Screen.

No, my intestines have been cut off, and my tears are full of old green marks. "

This was the poem that Zhuge Mingyue had heard from Xie Fei. It was a poem from the novel < Crescent Blade > by the Qing Ren Wei Zian. Xiao Lv naturally did not understand what she meant.

At this moment, this poem represented her state of mind.

Not long after, Xiao Lv came back from the back room with a bright lantern. The light of Kong Ming is also known as the Sky Lantern. Legend has it that it was invented by Zhuge Kongming (Zhuge Liang) in the time of the Three Kingdoms. In the past, Zhuge Kongming was besieged by Sima Yi in the Pingyang and was unable to send troops out of the city to seek help. Kong Ming calculated the direction of the wind and made a floating paper lantern, tying the distress message. After that, he really did escape danger, so the later generations called this lantern Kong Ming Lamp.

At this time, Zhuge Mingyue wanted to release the bright lantern light so that she could use it to fly in the sky. Only by doing this would she feel better.

The two girls went silent, both of them thinking about their own matters. Zhuge Mingyue looked at the slowly rising lamp in the sky, her heart filled with emotion.

At this moment, Zhuge Mingyue suddenly raised her head and saw a familiar figure leaning on the door to the left of the small hall.

Xie Fei looked at Zhuge Mingyue and saw that her beautiful face was so thin that it made Xie Fei's heart ache. There were two strings of glistening tears hanging, and her eyes were filled with warmth and hidden bitterness.

All of this felt like a dream to Zhuge Mingyue, she was extremely excited, could it be that the appearance of a deity had allowed him to get what she wanted?!

In truth, he knew what Zhuge Mingyue meant to Xie Fei, but he had been too busy recently and had neglected his beautiful woman. Xie Fei felt Zhuge Mingyue's longing and tenderness, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say to comfort her. It was unknown if it was because they had reunited after such a long time that Xie Fei felt that it was especially fresh, and felt that the current Zhuge Mingyue was as charming as she was now. Xie Fei's heart warmed, and he immediately kissed Zhuge Mingyue's tear-stained face. Seeing her shyly lowering her head, Xie Fei's story had turned away from the window to hide its awkwardness, when suddenly Xie Fei's gaze stopped at the rising lamp in the sky, and his thoughts raced!
