Continuing to march to Lantian, Sun Chuanting's mood was very complicated. Seeing the prosperity of Lantian and the smiles on the faces of the people, Sun Chuanting felt happy in his heart. He liked to see the smiles of the people, especially when he entered villages and towns, and saw children one after another.

Running wildly in the countryside, free and unrestrained, that silver bell-like laughter was the best music to Sun Chuanting.

But he is afraid of seeing the happiness of these people, because the better the people here live, the higher their identity with Lantian, and the harder it will be for him to shake the Lantian regime, the poisonous dragon hiding in the deep water.

These happy people may become the last straw for the Ming Dynasty in the future, so Sun Chuanting hopes to see the people in Lantian living a life similar to the people in other areas of the Ming Dynasty.

He is so contradictory and entangled, but no matter what, Sun Chuanting's evaluation of Li Chaosheng is getting higher and higher. This is definitely an unprecedented official of the country. In just a few years, Lantian has been governed smoothly, the country is peaceful, the people are prosperous, and the people are prosperous.

, this internal affairs ability is definitely far superior to others.

If he is an official of a county, he can govern a county well. If he is an official of a government, he can govern a government well. If he is an official of a state, it is no problem to govern a state well with his ability.

The official of the country is definitely at the level of the Prime Minister of the Eternal World, and at the very least can be compared to Zhang Juzheng.

If Li Chaosheng is willing, Sun Chuanting is willing to assist him in governing the Ming Dynasty and the world.

"A capable minister can rule the world, and a traitor can be a traitor in troubled times."

Sun Chuanting thought of a comment he made about Cao Cao, and it seemed appropriate to apply it to Li Chaosheng.

Sun Chuanting continued to move forward and soon came to the territory of Lantian. He saw several large valleys in Lantian. Entering from the valleys, the scene of Lantian came into view, which made Sun Chuanting's eyes widen.

"Is this Lantian?"

Lantian has initially bid farewell to the scale of an agricultural county town, with wide post roads, horse-drawn carriages constantly transporting goods, and rows of factories, especially the huge chimneys that tower into the sky and emit black smoke.

Sun Chuanting looked at the big cigarette and asked in surprise: "What is this?"

After hearing this, Yang Lidong said: "This is our iron-making workshop in Lantian."

"Ironmaking?"

Sun Chuanting's eyes widened. Iron is an important weapon of the country. He didn't expect that Lantian could already make iron by himself. But why does this iron smelting require such a high chimney?

Sun Chuanting asked Yang Lidong. Yang Lidong shook his head and said, "I don't know either. This ironmaking workshop has their own rules. We commoners can't enter."

Sun Chuanting heard this and said, "Can I go in and have a look?"

Yang Lidong shook his head and said: "That won't work. I don't have the authority to take you in. Only with the approval of the Lantian County Government can I take people in."

Sun Chuanting was a little disappointed after hearing this. Yang Lidong continued to lead Sun Chuanting forward, and soon they arrived outside the expanded Lantian County. Along the way, Sun Chuanting saw factories of all sizes, including weavers, vermicelli makers, and kilns.

, some make wine, some process grain, and all kinds of factories are everywhere.

Moreover, Lantian's planning is very orderly. There are a large number of factories here, but there are no factories in the distance. It is all farmland, with a large open space in the middle. A wide post road has been built in this open space.

Sun Chuanting looked at the post road, which was wider than the ones in Xi'an. Yang Lidong said: "The county magistrate said that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads, so the roads in Lantian extend in all directions, and the six valleys lead to all directions, accepting merchants from all over."

, transport all kinds of goods produced in Lantian, and transport all kinds of goods needed by Lantian in."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but murmured: "If you want to be rich, build roads first. It's easy to understand, easy to understand."

"Let's go into the city."

Sun Chuanting shouted, and Colonel Zhang pulled his eyes out from the scenery in front of him.

In fact, there is nothing interesting to see. Li Chaosheng initially started industrialization experiments in an agricultural society. There were just a few more large workshops, and some of them were severely polluted, such as the iron smelting plant that emitted black smoke and polluted the air.

This is definitely serious pollution, but Li Chaosheng doesn't care about it.

Although pollution is serious, development is more important. Looking at countries around the world, all countries basically follow the path of pollution first and then treatment. If they resist pollution at the beginning, they will not develop at all.

Some people say that the United States does not have much pollution, but if you don’t look at the heavy metals in rivers in the United States, the heavy metals in the rivers now exceed the standard. These are all left over from the development of the United States in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Now they are blaming others everywhere, that is

This is purely shameless behavior, otherwise why wouldn't they eat the carp from their own river?

What Li Chaosheng wants to do is to pollute first and then develop. Without the large chimneys of these steel mills, various industrialization processes in Lantian will stagnate. The arsenal cannot produce qualified gun barrels or cannons.

Cold weapons were also not refined enough, causing heavy losses to soldiers, various industrial machines could not be manufactured, and some iron products in daily life were also shoddy.

What’s even more frightening is that without these factories, Li Chaosheng’s Lantian would become a place lacking iron. Think of the iron-deficient Mongolian grassland tribes. Due to the lack of iron, the Han people could exchange an iron pot for several sheep. At one time, the Mongolians even

Arrowheads used in warfare are all made of bones.

This gives the enemy a lifeline, and now with these large chimneys, the iron produced by Lantian is several times stronger than the iron produced by the Ming Dynasty. With these irons as the basis, the arsenal can flourish and produce more refined weapons.

Only then can we protect Lantian from being bullied.

Sun Chuanting continued to move forward. At this time, he passed through the factory area and entered the urban area of ​​Lantian. Then Sun Chuanting was surprised to find that Lantian City had no city walls, and the old city walls had been torn down. Then Lantian City began to be centered around the county government.

, expanding outwards in circles.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting could not find the city wall at all. At this time, Sun Chuanting looked at Yang Lidong and asked: "There is no city wall in Lantian County?"

After hearing this, Yang Lidong smiled and said: "Of course, our county magistrate has said that the construction of Lantian County cannot be kept in a circle, but depends on how big the county town is that the people of Lantian need. The bigger the county town that Lantian people want, our county magistrate will do it."

It will be built bigger. This is what our county magistrate said that the court should serve the people."

Sun Chuanting was silent after hearing this, and followed him into the city. At this time, Yang Lidong asked not all of the 100 people he was following to follow, but only took 20 people with him, and then the group entered Lantian County.

When he arrived at Lantian County, Sun Chuanting saw what prosperity was. There were all kinds of shops selling things to buy and sell, and it was very lively. There were also merchants with different accents coming and going, especially grain merchants, who couldn't eat Lantian grain.

, so I often take out food, but they are all sold to big merchants, and the prices are not low.

To this end, Li Chaosheng also set up an annual grain auction. Lantian will announce the number of grains sold this year, and then invite major grain merchants to bid. The highest bidder will get the right to purchase this year's grain, but these grains are only 100%.

Of the eighty percent, there are still 20 percent of the grain that Lantian can retail to small merchants.

Letting them come to Lantian to buy grain is a very important business method for Li Chaosheng. The purpose is simply to invigorate the business atmosphere. Li Chaosheng knows that monopoly will definitely not work.

That’s why we opened an opportunity for small merchants. When these small merchants come to Lantian to buy food, they can’t come with empty trucks. They will send all kinds of materials to Lantian. This activates the business atmosphere of Lantian and turns Lantian into a business.

A place with a great atmosphere.

After Sun Chuanting entered the city, he got off his horse and walked on the street. He saw the merchants selling goods and the smiles on the people's faces. He couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart. Such a grand scene should happen in Xi'an City, in BJ City.

But now it happened in Lantian, not BJ, not Xi'an City.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting sighed: "Lantian is really a poisonous dragon."

It was so poisonous that Sun Chuanting himself wanted to live in a city full of hope like Lantian.

"Come on, let's have a taste. Wu Dalang's cakes are very fragrant."

"Come on, don't miss it if you pass by. Wang Laosi's roast chicken is so delicious that you won't forget it."

“Tofu, tofu~freshly baked soybean curd~”

…

The sounds of vendors on the street were heard. Sun Chuanting clenched his fists and looked at Yang Lidong and said, "Take me to the Lantian County Government Office."

Yang Lidong said: "You don't want to watch the market anymore."

Sun Chuanting said: "I won't read anymore. I'm going to see the people in power."

As he spoke, Sun Chuanting and Yang Lidong walked towards the county government office. After a while, they arrived in front of the county government office. At this time, there was no guard at the gate of the county government office. The gate of the county government office was open. Looking inside, you could see a seal cloth.

The bags were packed and hung on the beams of the county government office. People who passed by the county government office would take a look inside.

"Doesn't your county government send people to guard it?"

Sun Chuanting looked at Yang Lidong and asked. Yang Lidong then pointed to a few uncles squatting in the sun at the county government office and said, "Aren't they the same ones?"

Zhang Xiaowei stared and said: "Let a few old men guard the county government office. What will happen if they encounter a mob?"

Yang Lidong looked at Captain Zhang and smiled and said: "There are no mobs in Lantian. Our county magistrate said that the government cannot be separated from the masses. We sent a few people to guard the door. Who are you looking at? Will the people come to the Yamen if they have no grievances? You sent

What are these vicious men blocking the door doing? The people are frightened when they see it, so they won't complain. This breeds evil, so I only sent a few old men to watch at the door, and anyone can come and complain."

After hearing this, Colonel Zhang looked at Yang Lidong and said, "What if someone wants to assassinate your county magistrate?"

Yang Lidong laughed when he heard this and said: "Our county magistrate no longer sits in the county government office. The ones in charge of the trial are Mr. Liu and the officials. If you want to assassinate our county magistrate, you can't find anyone."

At this time, Sun Chuanting saw a man walking to the gate of the county government office and took a look before preparing to leave. When Sun Chuanting saw this, he asked: "Hey, fellow villagers, what are you looking at?"

The man was stopped for a moment, then looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Are you from other places?"

Sun Chuanting said: "Yes."

The man said: "Are we looking at the county magistrate's seal?"

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting was stunned and said: "What's so good about Yifang Yin?"

The man said: "What do you know? We have a new governor in Shaanxi Province. He is so stupid that he has a brain cramp. He insists on making trouble with our county magistrate and deposes our county magistrate. Our county magistrate

It’s true, just hang up the seal and leave.”

"We just keep an eye on this big seal to see if anyone with short-sightedness comes to take office. If the big seal is there, it means that the county magistrate is still in charge of Lantian County, and we feel at ease. If the big seal is not there, we can go back and prepare someone.

Come and fight with the new county magistrate."

The man looked at Sun Chuanting and said, after hearing this, Sun Chuanting's face was covered with black lines, he seemed to be that donkey dung ball.

"Okay, I'm still stewing fish at home. I just came out to see if Da Yin was there. I felt relieved and went back to eat. Say goodbye."

After saying that, the man walked quickly home, and his home was not far away. He just turned around a few alleys and arrived.

Sun Chuanting looked embarrassed and said, "Let's go to the county government office."

As Sun Chuanting said this, he walked towards the county government office. At this time, several old men who were still chatting stood up and said, "Stop, who are you looking for?"

Sun Chuanting heard this and said: "Li Chaosheng."
