He Lan is now a popular figure in front of the emperor and the prince. After returning from Jiacheng, he was promoted from the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In less than five months, He Lan rose from a commoner to a second-rank official, but no one dared to utter a word of dissatisfaction.
The series of reform policies he implemented are breathtaking, not only improving people's livelihood and benefiting the people, but also the weapon drawings in his hands made Luo Qi's military like climbing a ladder to reach the top.
Materials from the Southern Wilderness were continuously sent into Luo Qi territory, and the weapons of Luo Qi soldiers were also all updated and replaced with new weapons recommended by Su Zhen.
Before the Southern Expedition, she updated her original iron-smelting skills, and the weapons forged from the new refined iron were considered to be magical weapons.
It is precisely for this reason that this time we fought in the Southern Wilderness and Xiliang, we were able to kill all the enemies.
And the firearm that He Lan had been waiting for for a long time was also being forged in full swing.
He also cooperated with Jinxuanlou to build many cement plants and steel plants in the name of the imperial court. This move not only promoted the industrial development of Luoqi, but also gave many poor people a new source of livelihood.
After all, those factories require a lot of manpower.
Jinxuan Tower provided the money, the people contributed their efforts, and with the official certification from the imperial court, everything went smoothly.
The name of Jinxuan Tower has also become famous. Not only are all kinds of strange things emerging in Jinxuan Tower, but there are also hot pot restaurants, milk tea shops, barbecue restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, banks, silk and satin shops, jewelry shops, and music shops.
There are also some shops specializing in skin care products and cosmetics, suitable for both men and women of all ages.
In addition, it is said that the owner of Jinxuan Building also built several high-rise buildings specifically for ordinary people, each with hundreds of rooms. After they are built, traders from other places can rent them individually or share them.
Sell goods together and no longer have to endure wind and rain.
I heard that those high-rise buildings were made of reinforced concrete. They were built by the imperial court to supervise the construction, and they are still under construction.
People are always curious about novel things, and they will go and take a look if they have nothing to do.
As for the rental prices, they are not expensive and are basically within the range that ordinary people can afford.
As for the owner of Jinxuan Tower, no one knows his identity. All affairs of Jinxuan Tower are handled by two directors, a man and a woman.
The man looks like he is over 40 years old and is known as the 'Mo Shopkeeper', but his real name has never been revealed.
The woman's name is "Xian'er", and she always wears a veil. No one has seen her true face, but some people have seen her going in and out of Jiyue Square.
Therefore, it is rumored that the owner of Jinxuan Tower is actually the Yueniang of Jiyuefang.
As we all know, Jiyuefang is the largest gold-selling cave in Luoqi. Apart from Jiyuefang, they can't think of anyone else who is so wealthy.
However, Yueniang never refuted the rumors, and the people spread the rumors more and more true, until finally, the false rumors became true.
Luo Qi's commerce and industry were booming. Luo Qi relied on taxation to increase the money in the treasury several times, and even expanded two treasury.
When the imperial court had money, He Lan could finally flex his muscles and proposed to Shang Yuzhen to build schools of all levels to carry forward the nine-year compulsory education that he had always cherished.
Shang Yuzhen was quite generous, and with a wave of his hand he sent people to build schools in various counties, towns and cities.
The common people were very excited when they heard that in the future, children, regardless of gender, would be able to go to school and study.
But after hearing that some of the teachers who taught the children were women from red mansions, they all felt a little conflicted and resistant.
Having said that, the imperial order has been issued that all children must go to school, and they have no other choice.
Fortunately, those girls who were born in red mansions lived up to expectations and took on the important responsibility of education, making everyone look up to them with admiration.
And He Lan's reputation has spread throughout Hexuan Continent, and many people think that he is a descendant of heaven.
When Chu Zheng arrived at He's Mansion, he saw a bustle in front of He's Mansion, with hundreds of people surrounding the door.
They were carrying large boxes and small bags, and they were clamoring to ask to see He Lan.
There were many people on the way, and Chu Zheng stopped not far away on horseback. Just when he was thinking about coming back another day, he saw a guard from He Mansion coming over.
The guard saluted Chu Zheng respectfully: "I'm here to see you, General. My lord has been waiting in the mansion for a long time."
Chu Zheng nodded and dismounted, and someone immediately came forward to take his horse away.
After passing through the crowded crowd, the guards entered the house, walked around, and arrived at an elegant courtyard.
The guard opened the courtyard door and left. When Chu Zheng stepped into the courtyard, he found that Shang Yuchen was also there.
They sat in front of the stone table, with three cups of brewed tea on the table, followed by two secret guards, Lan Zhi and Zhi Lan.
"I see you, General!" He Lan stood up and saluted respectfully.
Chu Zheng nodded, raised his hands to Shangyu Chen and said, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Shangyu Chen waved his hand: "Okay, sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Chu Zheng sat down, he glanced at Lan Zhi and Zhi Lan, and hesitated to speak.
"General Chu, just say it directly." Xiao Chuhong said.
"Yes! Your Highness, actually I came to see Mr. He because I wanted to know what happened a month ago." Chu Zheng paused and then said: "Just now, I have already been to General Xiao's residence, but he didn't
He kept his mouth shut and didn't want to say more."
He Lan asked funnyly: "General Xiao seems to be very concerned about Brother Su's affairs."
Brother Su?!
Chu Zheng caught the key word and squinted his eyes to look at He Lan: "It sounds like Master He and General Su have a good relationship?"
"Well, we can be regarded as friends in need, and we have the friendship of fellow villagers."
Chu Zheng nodded, feeling that something was not right. Upon seeing this, Shang Yuchen directly interrupted him: "General Chu, there is no need to investigate the previous matter further. You just do your part.
I will send people to search for Zhen'er's whereabouts."
Chu Zheng had countless doubts in his heart. The words had already reached his lips, but he had to swallow them back.
Seeing his depressed look, He Lan was also helpless. After thinking for a while, he said, "General Chu, I have some good things here that you might be interested in."
"What is it?"
The upset Chu Zheng asked casually, but in fact he didn't have much expectations.
"Needle tubes, anesthetics, gauze, alcohol, iodine, raincoats, and homemade ice cubes. With these things, soldiers' casualties on the battlefield can be greatly reduced."
Chu Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he didn't know the usefulness of those things He Lan said, he understood the last sentence.
"Are you telling the truth? Take it out and open my eyes!"
He Lan smiled and took out a silver card from his sleeve with a brown cloth bag drawn on it.
Silently chanting 'Summon first aid kit' in their hearts, a silver light flashed before their eyes, and there was a small and big cloth bag on the stone table in front of them.
