These words seemed both derogatory and complimentary. Cai Wenji suppressed a smile, with bright eyes and white teeth, and she meticulously wrote down the words in shorthand... Ye Qing's eyes couldn't help but fall on her.
When the sun shines in, a thin and transparent layer of golden clouds, with the unique texture of Hanfu, fits the woman's waist, making her figure look slender. The whole person exudes a kind of elegance, with a delicate face without any leaden carvings, or
Not as beautiful as Qianqian or Diaochan, but very attractive, with a Jiangnan elegance and cultural connotation, as soft as the spring rain, and even more IKEA-like to ordinary people than Qianqian and Diaochan...
A kind of beauty that can just be preserved.
As if she was aware of her husband's gaze, Wen Ji glanced sideways at him, and her eyes just met, with a hint of shyness on her cheeks. After writing down the order, she showed it to him, then got up and went out to summon him.
Looking at her back as she stood up, Ye Qing smiled: "Come to my place tonight."
When she heard this, she hummed slightly, probably feeling embarrassed in front of others, and ran out.
The beautiful figure disappeared into the sunlight, and Ye Qing smiled and looked away.
His wife feels pain for herself. In fact, he was just teasing her intentionally to relieve his wife's recent sense of loss. As long as she is happy, that's fine.
I got her in the underworld, maybe out of a hobby of collecting beauties, but after I got her, my life became emotional over time, and I couldn't just treat her as a plaything. People get along with each other, especially close men and women. She has been since Ye Qing
Ye Qing also found a position for himself in her attitude, and gradually began to feel like a family.
Wen Ji's temperament is not suitable for the battlefield, but the value of female cultivators is not only reflected in combat power, nor is it just a tool to warm beds and give birth to children. Even if they can do a lot in troubled times, it is only the founding period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and she can't find it.
When I reached a position that suited me, I felt a little disappointed, so I tried to recommend myself to try a new job. Ye Qing saw this.
But these are temporary. When the Taoist Academy is established in the future, Wenji can continue to teach in the women's academy that she is good at - every female magician likes her teaching and even gets infected with her literary style, which is very good for the Han style.
.
Perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ye Qing was very fond of his wife. He always felt that even if we look at China's two thousand years of history, there would be very few women with such refined qualities as Wen Ji.
In fact, the last wave of elegy before the collapse of the Hanfeng development system, she has many qualities that cannot be compared to the so-called talented women later. This is a kind of practical survival - not to mention the famous prostitutes who will be praised by scholars and packaged with money in the future.
mentioned.
When Ye Qing gave his woman the right to choose, if she was interested and really willing, she could take on the job of secretary-counselor at the same time... If she had something to do, she would be a secretary, and if she had nothing to do, she would be a secretary. It's actually quite interesting to think about it occasionally.
He suppressed his smile again and thought about it calmly. He felt that the mood of his two wives in Dongzhou had stabilized, so he felt at ease. He pressed down his reverie and continued to instruct the files, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to busy affairs.
The end of the war does not mean indulgence in licentiousness, because there are not many ministers in the Eastern Han Dynasty to help share the burden, and the daily government affairs have become even busier. Wen Ji was also brought over by him to serve as secretary and counselor. It can be seen that this spring road construction whirlpool is sweeping through
The scope is so vast…
It will directly provide economic, political, and military support for the construction of the frontline capital in the following summer, and even further launch of the war to destroy the country in the autumn, all of which require the support of the railway network.
After finishing his work, he stretched and went out. Liniang followed him silently, protecting him closely.
Her junior sister Bingmei is protecting Madam Qian. I heard that today they are going to collect Qi along the spiritual veins in the territory. With the two Qingmai masters joining forces, no one can stop them, not to mention the 100 Southern Army magicians who are accompanying them for protection.
... Your Majesty's deep affection for your wife makes her admire and envy you.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and Ye Qing was silent for a moment. He was wearing a gorgeous Han robe and a long sword, walking happily on the hillside. The spring breeze was just right, the humidity and temperature were very pleasant, and the green aura made people intoxicated...
Breathing such fresh and pure air in spring makes you realize what a wonderful virgin land this is.
But it is also dangerous, with fierce competitors everywhere vying for her favor.
Looking down from the hillside is a vast expanse of primeval forest. This is the first time since I have been busy these days to look at the appearance of the snow. The lush ocean is endless. Everywhere you can see is rich woodland vitality. Every population is growing seriously. In this wild continent
Fight for life...
In fact, each of these is a camp of life, far more than the East China Sea Qing League and the City-State Alliance, but the population evolution choices of the entire continent.
Ye Qing was moved by the scene, and inevitably thought about the situation of the East China Sea Youth League this year, and asked Liniang: "I allow the Immortal Sect to join the exchange system in the form of a mercenary group, and the harvest will be equal in exchange. What do they think?"
"The master sect and other immortal sects are very happy to reply to the letter."
Liniang responded with a smile. As a disciple of the Qingmu Sect, she was most happy about this harmonious situation. The worries she had about being caught in the middle melted like snow in the warm spring breeze.
Seeing that Ye Qing was in a good mood, she thought for a while and felt that she could say more, so she lowered her voice: "I secretly tell you that when I saw you, Your Majesty, you resisted the attack of Peng Yu State City, and even counterattacked to the enemy's rear, even
After killing the Aragami once... everyone will know the strength of the king. This year, Qinggan will be able to lead the defense until winter."
"Furthermore, word has spread about the laying of the railway. The only lord who dares to continue fighting after the beginning of spring is Junshang. All the immortal sects want to follow you and make a bet to try and eat some meat."
"Follow me, will you get meat to eat?"
Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh. He really liked the fact that Qingmai - other veins have rich resources and high mentality. If it were replaced by the richest red veins and yellow veins, the price of this coordinated operation would be more than ten times higher.
Don't think about it, and you still don't look good.
But Qingmai is used to being poor, and will be happy when he sees a little meat. How can teammates who are cheap, good, and provide excellent service not make people happy?
Compared with the various benefits, even the stingy little problems seem very cute and pleasing to the eye.
"They are welcome to come. Of course they are all my own, and I will not treat them badly."
He thought for a moment, and after flexing his muscles against the alien war, it was time to show off the carrot: "Liniang told the immortal sects that as long as they are willing to sign a trade cooperation treaty with the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dividends from the sea trade line are promised to be divided in half - conditions
It is to abolish their respective internal tariffs and establish a customs commonwealth."
"Your Majesty, are you... planning to integrate the economic circle?"
Liniang's eyes were slightly stunned. She was familiar with some situations in Yingzhou and said thoughtfully: "The sea route is understandable. The demand for transportation after the war is not so strong. You asked for nine more large-scale ships. I will communicate more and they will agree.
, you can even try to form a combined transport fleet, but...inland trade routes?"
Ye Qing asked her for a map and drew a dotted line on the map, running through the easternmost plain area of the Western Colonial Zone: "This year, we arrived at the Great Plains, which allowed the establishment of dense villages and towns between the various immortal sect territories. Short-distance transportation that is relatively easy to maintain will replace long-distance roads that are difficult to maintain, thereby overcoming the miasma. Some immortal sects should have already started to do this, right?"
"The master sect said that they have such a plan. Each immortal sect has prepared materials and manpower and is preparing to establish..." Liniang quietly raised her eyes to look at him, then lowered her head, her face slightly red: "But I told them that your Majesty They probably hesitated and were a little hesitant about your plans to destroy villages and build towns, concentrate defensive forces to resist the enemy's endless attacks by the Aragami, and prepare to build a horizontal railway from Hope Port to Qinggan Peak."
Are you afraid that my asking price for selling the railway is too high? It’s really Qingmai’s specialty...
Ye Qing smiled secretly, pretending not to notice her embarrassment, and pointed at the dotted line with his finger: "This railway that runs through the eastern plains, the only longitudinal line for the time being is this one, which intersects with the horizontal line from Port of Hope to Qinggan Peak. The agreed-upon new city is the location of the future capital."
"We are all cooperating to build this vertical line. I will provide the capital, the rails, and the workers to build it. I will hold half of the shares of the entire line. Each immortal sect only needs to send real magicians to refine the foundation, lay down sleepers, and provide people to buy shares according to sections. It can be regarded as taking care of everyone’s economic deprivation after the war..."
"But I also have suggestions. In the future, it will not be limited to my territory, but also built elsewhere. In order to negotiate and unite, a joint railway guild of the East China Sea Youth League must be established.
"After the road is built, the operation of the railway will be carried out by our Donghan Mansion personnel. The operating income can be held every year at the Donghai Qingmeng Shareholders Meeting to distribute dividends. The Donghan Mansion will receive half of the entire operating income, and each immortal sect will share the income with me in the section within the railway passing area. , I can sign contracts with each immortal sect separately, with the emperor as my witness."
"As the leader in initiating road construction, I separately request the mining rights and land rights for the ten miles to the left and right along the railway line."
"Only ten miles?"
Liniang was pleasantly surprised and blurted out for a moment. When she woke up, she smiled sheepishly: "They told me that the dense forest along the road was of no use. Everyone will definitely cooperate. I am just worried that I can't afford the rails and trains. Now not only do I not need money, but I can also If you can buy shares and give us dividends... Your Majesty, you are really a good person."
At this time, a group of people came over, including Lu Xun and a few generals, probably to report the results of the territory's cleanup, and Qianqian, who happened to be returning from collecting energy along the spiritual veins.
After hearing this, her face looked a little strange, her bright eyes flashed with a smile, and she almost laughed out loud.
In the past, there was always a family gathering for night chats every dinner. She heard Ye Qing tell the story of Haorenka and understood the military, political and economic significance of the railway. At this time, she rolled her eyes at her husband and said: "Mr. Ye Dashan, congratulations. count."
"Where, where, where there is a lot of help, there is a lot of help, but where there is a lack of help..."
Ye Qing rubbed his nose in response to his wife's teasing, thinking that he had deceived this simple girl and deserved to be given a good guy card.
Among the foreign ministers who came over, Lu Xun had the most strategic vision. He did not pay attention to the issue of good people and bad people, and only thought about interests: "The expansion of the exchange system and the establishment of the customs union are obviously an integration of the economic circle centered on the Eastern Han Dynasty. , and the construction of the railway network allowed the Eastern Han Dynasty's tentacles to penetrate into the territories of various immortal sects, laying the foundation for future political and military integration... Unfortunately, the various immortal sects did not know enough about the railways, and they did not know the strength of the lord. I have more trust in my character and that’s why I jumped into the pit so smoothly.”
"I'll go tell them the good news right away. It's estimated that we can sign a contract within two or three days, as long as we choose the route..."
Liniang was still seriously expressing her gratitude. She didn't realize that her position had changed. In fact, she had already been deeply involved in the whirlpool caused by the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Ye Qing's face twitched and he smiled calmly: "Well, didn't Liniang say that the Qingmeng League strongly supports the Qingmai princes along the coast, and the princes reciprocate their support?"
"We are all our own people, why bother talking about two different things? By the way, let me focus on the Railway Union Liniang, who I have met in Yingzhou. Such an industrial group is very beneficial to the promotion of industry and will be recognized by Qingmai...
…”
"Well, I will help you introduce..." Liniang looked at her master with admiration. He could even share such a big cake. He is really a hero of his own lineage. She was a little worried for a moment: "Your Majesty, don't sacrifice too much."
With multiple benefits, we can win together and win together for a long time..."
Ye Qing was speechless for a while, while Qianqian was trying her best to hold back her laughter, almost to the point of internal injury.
Lu Xun's expression was a little subtle, but he held back and did not make any statement... When it was time to cheat, Han Chen would not show any mercy.
To be honest, people and habits have some influence. Ye Qing felt a little embarrassed for the simple girl to praise him so much, but he didn't bother to comfort himself with his moral integrity. He waved his hand and said that these were just clouds...anyway
It's just a trick on you.
The secret is that in a large-scale infrastructure project like building a railway network, the principle of whoever builds it will benefit is correct, but operating rights and road rights are completely different.
In addition to the operating rights, mining rights and land rights for ten miles along the line are imposed. It can be said that dividing the territory and splitting the soil in other people's homes, nakedly inserting into the roots to absorb power. This was a standard unequal treaty between great powers in the era of earth's colonization, and even caused China's
The road protection movement and subsequent revolution in a certain river showed the danger.
However, Ye Qing's gift was a generous gift. It was completely bullying his allies who did not know the market for new things. Focusing on the railway construction in the spring, the forces in the entire western colonial area were swept into this whirlpool. Jumping into the pit alone was not enough.
Then encourage everyone to jump into the pit together...
Ye Qing smiled slightly, thinking that he had already achieved great things.
