Su He and Qu Xiangyang, who had just been discharged from the hospital, were walking beside the Han River.

The relationship between the two of them is that of monarch and minister, master and disciple, and friends.

Su He overcame all opinions and arranged for Qu Xiangyang to be the governor of Gansu.

He asked Qu Xiangyang to go to the Imperial College to study and learn how to be a governor of a province.

Wang Zhongce and other senior officials of the Qin Palace, as well as some old officials of the Ming Dynasty who became official.

These old officials were all fine people. They saw Su He survive the Ming Dynasty's siege and changed their previous attitudes.

Qu Xiangyang did not disappoint him and ranked among the best in every exam.

"Xiang Yang, how are you feeling physically? Can you withstand the heavy workload of the governor?"

Qu Xiangyang raised his only arm and clenched his fist.

"Principal, I feel great now.

The doctors told me that as long as there is no infection in the broken arm, I will be like a normal person."

Su He nodded and asked with concern: "Xiang Yang, you have lost your right arm, are you still used to your life now?"

Qu Xiangyang said with a smile: "I was not used to it before. I had to use a spoon to eat, and I couldn't write with my left hand.

Now my left hand is as flexible as my right hand before.

I can eat by myself and write proficiently, and it doesn’t affect my work and life at all.”

Su He looked at Qu Xiangyang's open-minded attitude.

He knew how it was possible that without his most important right hand, it would have no impact on his life at all.

But Qu Xiangyang's optimistic and open-minded attitude allowed him to quickly get over the sadness of losing his arm.

Su He warned: "Xiang Yang, many officials are staring at you, so you must pay more attention.

You must know what to do and what not to touch."

When Qu Xiangyang heard Su He's words, his expression became serious.

He was able to stand out from hundreds of students in the military academy and become the top few.

Of course he knew, what did Su He mean?

He also has a clear enough positioning for himself.

He is a lone wolf, driving the flock of sheep.

As long as you reveal a flaw, the sheep will kill you with their horns.

Qu Xiangyang said sincerely: "Principal, you gave Xiangyang a new life and saved me from the lowly status of Lehu.

I, Qu Xiangyang, don’t have anything else, but I also know how to be grateful.

My family is very wealthy now, with a very high salary every year, and we also run several factories.

The money is enough for our family's daily needs, and I don't have much expenses.

I grew up in a Jiaofangsi, and I have a clear understanding of the misery of women.

I will never touch any woman except my wife."

Su He felt even more relieved after listening to Qu Xiangyang's words.

What can bring down a governor-level official is nothing more than power, money, and women.

Qu Xiangyang's statement shows that he sees things very clearly.

"Xiang Yang, officials from various Shaanxi provinces have taken up their posts one after another, and the governor has been vacant for a long time.

Now that your health has recovered, go to Shaanxi to take up the post as soon as possible.

Many tasks in Shaanxi can only be carried out if the governor takes the lead.

The system has been established. If the impact is not significant, try not to destroy the system.

After you took office, the mutual trading outside the customs carried out by the Third Army was taken over by the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen.

When you took office this time, in addition to stabilizing Shaanxi, you also provided supplies for the Third Army to fight.

There is also a mission to purchase large quantities of cattle, horses, sheep and wool."

Qu Xiangyang was surprised and said in amazement: "Principal, cattle, horses and sheep are extremely important, and things like wool are not valuable at all.

We buy wool in large quantities, what can it be used for?"

"You just need to purchase a large amount of wool. It's hard to say yet. If the experiment is successful, you will know soon."

Su He asked Qu Xiangyang to purchase wool, of course to develop the wool textile industry.

The wool textile industry provided important support for the Industrial Revolution of the British Empire.

There was also the phenomenon of sheep cannibalism in the British Empire.

Su He is well aware of the power of the economy. Grasslands cannot be cultivated and cannot bring huge benefits.

Then no Han people would be willing to settle in the grasslands, and even if they conquered them temporarily, they would have no motivation to defend them in the long term.

They were able to conquer Hetao and other Mongolian areas by force.

But we want to stabilize the backward Hetao area.

This region must be included in the overall economic system.

The anchor points selected by Suhe are the cattle, horse and sheep breeding industry and the wool textile industry.

If the woolen textile industry had appeared in China earlier.

Areas like Mongolia have long been an indivisible territory of China since ancient times and cannot be occupied by nomads at all.

…………………………

After Qu Xiangyang talked with Su He, he became more aware of what he would do when he became governor of Shaanxi.

He was riding a horse, followed by several carriages.

In the first carriage sat his wife and a pair of children.

In the second carriage sat his secretary.

The carriage that follows carries some personal belongings.

Behind the carriage is a large transportation force.

It mainly transports grain and cloth, as well as a large amount of materials, such as agricultural tools and seeds.

Qu Xiangyang entered Baoji Mansion, which is already the most developed mansion in Shaanxi.

Hanzhong County has a special status and is not under the control of the governor of Shaanxi.

He walked along the road to Xi'an Prefecture, inspected the situation in Baoji Prefecture, and had a good idea of ​​the place.

Qu Xiangyang felt happy when he looked at the large number of sweet potatoes grown in Baoji Prefecture on both sides of the cement road.

There is a drought-resistant crop like sweet potato, which can only be extended to rural areas of Shaanxi.

The local people at least have enough food to survive.

The team crossed the Weihe River Bridge and marched for more than ten miles.

The cement road under your feet is no longer a concrete road, but a dirt road with potholes.

Even a carriage designed with shock absorption will be very bumpy when walking on such a road.

Roads are planned by the Ministry of Industry.

Shaanxi's cement roads will be repaired sooner or later.

He knew that the design of the cement road from Baoji through Xi'an to Yulin and Ningxia has now been completed.

As long as the cabinet and the King of Qin agree, this cement road will be built soon.

Qu Xiangyang has been observing the villages on both sides of the road.

He had been here before, when he was leading troops in battle and all his energy was spent on mobilizing soldiers.

Without observing carefully, there are villages on both sides of the road.

Now he noticed that there were very few residents in the village, especially no elderly or children.

You know, it's not far from Xi'an.

This is the most prosperous village in Shaanxi, but what he saw was a depressed scene.

Qu Xiangyang asked the team to continue moving forward. He took his secretary and guards to the nearby village to take a look.

When he arrived at the village, there was a man in his forties pushing a wheelbarrow toward the village.

"Men from every household came out to receive food."

Qu Xiangyang saw many people wearing sacks walking out of their homes.

They had no clothes or pants, only sacks around their waists.

At first glance, these people give the impression that they are extremely poor.

These people ignored Qu Xiangyang at all.

They immediately pounced on the young man.

"Village chief, why did you come back so late today?"

"Village chief, we are starving. The village is recruiting workers. Is there any result from this matter?"

"That's right! They said work-for-relief last time, but I didn't understand what it meant.

But the villagers say that you will be given food if you work, so I have always remembered this."

"Hurry up and work! The few sweet potatoes distributed in the countryside are not enough for us.
