In fact, in the opinion of County Magistrate Li, the printing and dyeing technology these days is quite impressive.
For example, if you use two colors, purple and bright yellow, through multiple dip-dyes and then adding mordant, you can achieve good results in a short period of time.
Even if it's not as cool as County Magistrate Li's tricks, it's still useful enough.
Essentially, it is just that countries, especially big countries, have not found suitable dyes.
With the dye, County Magistrate Li's strength is really beyond the reach of national-level trading houses in major countries.
After County Magistrate Li typed "Big Red 01" and "Big Purple 01", commercial spies quickly came over, trying to find some clues from the clues in Baisha Village.
It's a pity that County Chief Li generously allowed them to come to the market in Baisha Village and look east and west, but they could see something wrong.
As for the fact that there are many snail shells in Baisha Village, isn’t that normal? The “King of Shaye” doesn’t eat snails, so how can he be the boss of “Shaye”?
Besides, County Magistrate Li made a public statement: I don’t like Naruto, I love snails, I am the sand shadow of "Shaye", I will give myself a bowl of stir-fried snails, but unfortunately there is no chili...
"There are many purple grasses in the white sand. There is nothing mysterious about this thing."
“Could it be that the secret of ‘Chixia’ lies in the technique?”
"How can savages have such magical skills?"
"The Six Kingdoms, the Zong Kingdom, the United Kingdom...the land of Shunshu, where there are many grass plants and colors, Master Ba and Shu Longjian became officials in Jiangyin, or was it the work of these two people?"
"Let's go to Qunshu first to find out what's going on."
Among the merchants in Baisha Village, the industrial spies were also depressed and wanted to sneak into the core processing factory, but it was very difficult to do so without anyone noticing.
Because there is a donkey named Li Tiegen nearby, and he barks "Aang, Aang," when he meets a stranger. Even if he deceived it for a while with manjing, there is also an elephant named Li Caihua, who will bark when he meets a stranger.
...and the stranger peed.
Who the hell keeps elephants at home?
Baisha Village's own silk production is not enough, and it mainly processes supplied materials. After purchasing a large amount of white silk, it is brought back to Baisha Village to do it.
Just dye it twice and sell a piece of silk with two or three zeros, making much more money than the local wealthy households in Wu and Yue.
Of course, there are also those who are anxious and want to force Baisha Village to hand over their secret skills by cutting off the confession.
County Magistrate Li backhandedly ordered people to go to Tan and Ju to acquire the goods. Now the ships from Yinxiang can reach the coast of Tan along the coastline. After a large number of stone bridges are built on the tidal flats, the trestles can also be extended to the sea for loading and unloading goods.
It is also much more convenient.
Don't go out with anyone, and don't go out with money.
Besides, County Magistrate Li's purchase price for domestic silk merchants was more than doubled due to his absolute conscience.
Therefore, the suppliers who originally wanted to use small tricks were in a mixed mood at the moment. They were jealous of County Li's growing up and making a lot of money, but they had no choice but to do anything about it.
Of course, it's not like the mountaintops from all over the country have never thought of troublesome Li Jie, but these are troubled times, and the king Gou Chen has not died for a day, so it will be difficult for them to get started.
Moreover, the young master was about to arrive at Xu State, and Shang Wuji passed by the Jin troops. No one knew whether he said hello to the young master or not.
However, one thing is clear, if Shang Wuji had met the prince, he would be the first nobleman in the country to have a "first-hand relationship" with the prince.
"What can I do?"
"What can I do?"
The spies are also in pain. If they want to take Jiangyin head-on, it will be quite difficult.
If the bright one doesn't work, then the only option is the dark one.
This is basic operation.
At the Jiangyin City Construction Project Headquarters, County Magistrate Li is busy working. With paper, his office efficiency is astonishingly high. Drawings that others dare not waste, he can just make them here, paper is just for waste.
And a very few people have begun to ponder the more literary interest of calligraphy.
"Gentleman, look."
Shang Xiaomei's belly is gradually getting bigger, but she is in good health, so she still has wind when she walks, which makes County Magistrate Li feel frightened. On the contrary, Shang Xiaomei is very happy and doesn't think so.
meaning.
Holding a piece of paper, one word has been written on it: snow.
At first, Shang Xiaomei asked her husband to solve the name problem quickly. Li Jie fooled around for a while, but later he got really annoyed and thought about taking Shang Xiaomei out to have fun. Wouldn't it just be a world of ice and snow?
The beautiful memories of Biyang Kingdom, the basis for becoming famous in one battle, isn't it ice and snow?
The whole thing is a cooler name, that's it.
The eldest is Li Lei and the second is Li Xue. There is nothing wrong with them.
It's just that Shang Xiaomei thinks it's a bit weird for her son to be called Li Xue, and Li Jie also thinks it's a bit effeminate, but it doesn't matter, the name is not used by him, it's in other people's mouths.
However, Shang Xiaomei also had some ideas. She thought that if she gave birth to a son, it would be better to call her Li Bing. It sounded very tough and strong.
County Magistrate Li was about to collapse after being tormented by his little wife, so he could only say: I like my daughter.
Then let’s take Li Xue.
…
The thing is that simple. Shang Xiaomei wants to have a daughter now. Others don't know the situation, but Shang Xiaomei knows very well that her husband rarely talks nonsense to her. He says he likes his daughter, just like her.
So Li Xue was the highlight, which made Shang Wuji very unhappy. He thought, as an uncle, I just want a nephew. What use is a niece? Even if I, an uncle, are taller than the sky, there is no way for my niece to inherit Jiang Yinzi.
Such a big business.
Out of sight, out of mind, so my uncle fled to Biyang Kingdom. Although he wanted to host the Jiangyin Guild Hall to sell "Big Red 01" and "Big Purple 01", but personally, he also needed to appease his fragile soul.
"This handwriting is pretty good, better than me. When I was studying, my handwriting was as good as a dog chewing. Later, when I entered society and started working, I regretted it. Alas, I should have practiced my calligraphy better."
"..."
Shang Xiaomei looked confused and didn't understand what her husband was saying at all, but he probably meant to praise her for her good handwriting.
So Shang Xiaomei asked in a low voice: "Does this gentleman have something on his mind?"
"I am going to expand the number of brave men. Safety is the first priority when transporting on this road. By the way, I have asked Xia Liu to go to Gusu. I have told the king that Wuji will be the doctor of Luyi. What do you think?"
"Doctor Luyi?!"
Shang Xiaomei looked shocked. The outside world didn't know Li Jie's arrangement, but Shang Xiaomei knew that her husband planned to run the Jiangbei area well. Luyi and Zhiyi were the two cities where Jiangyin wanted to strengthen contact, and even
After the beginning of spring, the newly burned areas are mainly planted with mulberry, hemp, beans and wheat.
With food and cash crops, it is necessary to ensure the population growth rate. There are also a large number of "sand fields" in the Jiangbei region, and small tribes of Huaiyi are wandering around to farm. These people, in the Wu Kingdom, are an ineffective garbage population.
But at Li Jie's place, no matter how many people come, they can give it a try.
He is not afraid of large population, but afraid of lack of population.
Regarding management matters, Yinxiang has its own set of rules, which are completely different from those in Gusu. In terms of efficiency, it is definitely much higher.
And another point is that Yinxiang vigorously promotes literacy. As long as the members participate in rural construction and system construction, whether they are crocodiles, brave men, craftsmen, farmers, or cart drivers, they must be compulsorily educated.
It is not a concept based on will, it is purely a forced push under strongman politics, but in the entire Jiangyin City, or in the entire "Baisha" area, if you want to find a force that can compete with Li Jie's power, you can't find one.
Because Suzhou has no interest in "Baisha", unless there is a national war and a critical moment of survival, the savages will be recruited and given the right to become nationals.
Therefore, County Magistrate Li could do whatever he wanted on his own territory without any restrictions.
Even if the "insightful men" under his command tried to exhort him, it would be of no use. In Li Jie's case, the scholar-bureaucrats from all over the world were just "tool men". Just be obedient and get out if they were disobedient.
Despite the high wages and the high upward momentum of County Magistrate Li, the scholar-bureaucrats of these small countries still lowered their noble heads.
You should know that while Li Jie was building Jiangyin City, he also left a lot of land to reward "deserving officials".
Just like now, Li explained that the county official of Luyi should be Shang Wuji, so it couldn't be anyone else.
Luyi was originally an autonomous state, but its sovereignty belonged to the State of Wu and its governance belonged to the Baiyu clan of Huaiyi.
And because Luyi colluded with Yiyang Jun Jixuan and committed a serious crime, who was the person who visited Luyi twice? It was Li Jie, the fierce man appointed by the king.
Therefore, even according to the conventions of other countries, Luyi should be rewarded to Li Jie as a spoil of war. The same situation can be done in Chu State, and there is no reason why Wu State cannot do it.
The old monster Gouchen doesn't care about Luyi or Zhiyi, a poor place with barren land. If he uses it to win over Li Jie, from Gusu's point of view, it will definitely make a huge profit.
"Wuji is indeed a bit aggrieved for being a mere doctor in Luyi. But it doesn't matter. When I become stronger in the future, I will try to give Wuji a good position."
"..."
Shang Xiaomei was so shocked that she blushed. She originally thought that her brother could be a doctor in Luyi, which was already very good. She never expected that her husband actually thought that she felt wronged, and she felt very happy, thinking about how her brother had been
It was really wise to separate the family from Yanling.
Shang Wuji, the man who knows people with his keen eye, really lived up to his reputation.
"A gentleman treats his concubine very kindly, but I...have nothing to repay."
"Why are you talking about this? I don't know how many times I've slept with this old couple. They've got enough. Be honest, don't run around, take good care of your baby, and try to give birth to a beautiful daughter."
