Chapter 944: Buy Cement
Why did the officials who were previously transferred to Weizhou have nothing to do with these people, and would even join forces with them soon?
Have no conscience?
Is there no evidence?
Actually neither!
The most important thing is that there is no military power.
If the imperial court transfers you here, all you can bring with you are two or three house slaves. With so many people in Weizhou, the water is deep.
Hundreds of people will pull you into the quagmire, and two or three people are useless at all.
But this time Su Jiyuan was different, not only two emperors and two princes followed him, but also six thousand shadow guards.
Anyone who wants to copy someone's home can copy someone's home.
There is no need to talk about affection at all.
Don't talk to me about reason, big fists are reason.
In the next period of time, Su Jiyuan collected the money paid by these Weizhou officials.
The officials of a state, which is still the poorest state in Chu State, were able to confiscate a huge amount of stolen money of five hundred thousand taels of silver, which made the two emperors unbelievable.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver! And there is a lot of food!
Xu Qing's set of operations stunned the virtuous king for a moment, and he expected to deal with corrupt officials, but he never expected that the troublesome bandits became hidden one by one in his eyes Supply points!
After these two sets of operations, Xu Qing immediately had a huge start-up capital.
Moreover, this start-up capital does not need to be handed over to the imperial court, because the money is nominally used by local officials to support the construction of Weizhou to repair bridges and roads.
So far, Weizhou's server opening spree has basically been received by Xu Qing.
The originally uneven roads in Weizhou city were widened by Xu Qing again and again, and there were more than enough horse-drawn carriages in parallel.
What Xu Qing didn't expect was that the people in Weizhou worked so hard that they didn't dare to be lazy, which greatly accelerated the progress of the project.
Well, the people in Weizhou were originally exploited by officials and bandits, and the food at home was barely sufficient throughout the year, but if they worked in the project arranged by His Highness the King of Han, they would not only have two full meals a day, but also There are two copper coins for wages, so of course you have to work harder!
Otherwise, there are still many people waiting eagerly for others to replace them.
According to Mo Heng's estimate, there are still more than half a month before the project can be completed as expected.
The most excited person to hear this news was Emperor Chu. As an emperor, he was used to living in a comfortable palace. Even though the courtyard arranged for him was luxurious enough, he still felt a little uncomfortable living in it.
Now that he is the overlord, it is natural for all the people to set an example and not make jokes about the construction related to people's livelihood, but after Xu Qing's project is completed, it is time to give him a practice palace, and the hard days are finally coming to an end.
Based on his calculations with King Xian, if Xu Qing is like this, Weizhou might be able to rival the capital in two or three years.
The officials in Weizhou are also quite honest and work very hard.
There is no way not to work hard, and now their lives are temporarily saved, but the governor still has innumerable evidences, there is a handle on them, how dare they not work hard?
As far as the distance between the residences of Lord Inspector and His Majesty is concerned, it may not take even a quarter of an hour to approve a memorial. Who dares not work hard, the next one may be ransacked!
Seeing these hard-working officials, Su Jiyuan was first astonished, then relieved.
Force deterrence works pretty well most of the time.
Punishment of the most cunning corrupt officials often requires only the most primitive means.
Now Xiao Ruxue would run to the place where Xu Qing lived every day, but now that Xu Qing and Xian Wang had become rivals, Xiao Ruxue no longer needed to wander on the road in a carriage for a long time.
Since Xu Qing's actions were open and did not deliberately conceal anything, this of course also attracted a person to follow suit.
That is Li Xun!
Nowadays, most of the memorials in the capital of Zhou State are reviewed by the Supreme Emperor and the State Teacher of Zhou State. Li Xun only needs to take a look, so Li Xun is quite leisurely in the capital.
In the past year, Princess Mingyue's Princess Mansion in Yunzhou has been built, which is completely in accordance with the specifications of the emperor's palace.
Moreover, Princess Mingyue's wedding dress has also been woven, and even the hairpins are carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen.
It can be said that Princess Yue's marriage is the second most important event in the Western Regions after ten years, and she dare not be sloppy at all.
The situation in Yunzhou is not much better than that in Weizhou. Apart from being bordered by the other two countries, there is not much difference. Besides, Yunzhou will be the trading port of Zhou State and Chu State in the future, and it will also be the reliance of my Little Sister. Of course there is no room for carelessness.
So Li Xun took the left and right Habayashi Wei, the left and right Long Wuwei and Li Mingyue directly to Yunzhou to start replicating what Xu Qing did in Weizhou.
The effect can be said to be surprisingly good!
For this kind of malicious plagiarism, it first attracted the dissatisfaction of King Xian.
Can't you figure out what to do?
Want to copy them?
But then, when he saw how thick Zhou Guo's skin was, he gave up the ridicule.
Because Zhou Guo sent people to buy cement from them to build roads.
Will buy a lot!
Big list!
So the virtuous king immediately changed from a sarcastic face to a simple and honest face of a profiteer.
It can be said that he has fought wars all his life, and now watching Xu Qing turn the impoverished Weizhou into a rich one step by step, he can even see a sense of accomplishment, and he almost couldn't hold back himself from doing micromanagement in person.
This is like a player who is used to playing real-time strategy suddenly likes to play simulation management.
This feeling is quite amazing.
Nowadays, many cement workshops have been built, and a lot of cement has been hoarded in the warehouse. It can be said that the supply exceeds demand, and the cement produced every day is simply inexhaustible.
Originally, Xu Qing did not reduce the number of cement workshops in order to continue implementing work-for-relief so as not to cut off the income of the cement workshop craftsmen.
But now no one thought that such things as cement could be exported, and it suddenly became a hot commodity!
Now we need to build more cement workshops and continue to increase production!
After issuing the order to increase the number of workshops and increase cement production, Xu Qing continued to lie on the deck chair, enjoying the sun while watching the three little ones play on the carpet laid in the yard.
Family happiness is nothing more than that.
At this moment, the concierge came to announce that His Majesty had come.
Xu Qing looked at Zheng Huan's two sisters who were playing with Ning'er, Hua Loli, and immediately instructed Xuan'er beside her, "Take the three of them inside to play first."
When Xuan'er took away the two sisters who were holding hands with Xiao Ning'er, including Ning'er, Xu Qing coughed and asked Xiao Ye to come in.
