Chapter 623 Rejuvenating the Country with Science and Technology
But in Li Xingchen's case, this status quo should of course change. Li Xingchen certainly knew the importance of agriculture, but he also knew more clearly how much benefit he would bring to himself by focusing on developing industry at this time, even if this kind of industry could not compete with the development of later generations.
Industry comparison.
Rejuvenating the country through science and technology is simple to say, but not so simple to implement.
The workshop that Li Xingchen built this time was located on the edge of the mountains in the south of Shu County. The entire workshop area was built along the mountains and extended into the mountains. This way, it was easy to obtain local materials, and secondly, it would not occupy too much space.
There is a lot of agricultural land. But even so, the workshops extending down the mountain still occupy nearly a hundred acres of land. After all, some large equipment is difficult to assemble on the mountain, so it is reasonable to place it at the foot of the mountain.
Li Xingchen immediately looked at Tang Zhengliang, who was catching up quickly behind him. The former prefect of Ba County has now been transferred to the prefect of Shu County, which can be regarded as a right move. After all, Shu County is the core of the entire Bashu. Although the prefect of Shu County and the prefect of Ba County are both
He was a prefect, but there was a gap in status. Of course, Tang Zhengliang did not expect to reach the top in one fell swoop. Such a change was enough to satisfy him.
Of course, Tang Zhengliang's hard life of running around with Li Xinchen has never changed.
However, Tang Zhengliang has no complaints about this. Only a boss who has stepped on every inch of land is his ideal boss.
"Have all the local officials in Linqiong County (today's Qionglai) said hello?" Li Xingchen asked in a low voice.
Tang Zhengliang nodded hurriedly: "I already gave the order in the morning. What Mr. Ouyang said has indeed happened before. Local officials have also reported this problem to their subordinates. They asked them to firm their stance and channel public opinion. Now the general is here in person.
After inspection, they must be more aware of the interests and risks here, and they will naturally pay more attention to it in the future."
Li Xingchen was very clear about what Tang Zhengliang said, because he knew that it would be difficult to change this deep-rooted concept in a short time, especially now that the workshop was started and could not even bring any benefits.
It is reasonable for the common people and even officials to have doubts and dissatisfaction.
Not even Li Xingchen could guarantee that Tang Zhengliang and other officials around him did not have such doubts. It will take some time to really change all this.
Li Xinchen nodded slightly and quickly walked into the workshop. Ouyang Mo and Tang Zhengliang didn't know what medicine Li Xinchen was selling in his gourd, so they could only follow quickly.
Ding Zhuang and craftsmen who were working all saw Li Xingchen walking in quickly. Many of them had never seen Li Xingchen, but when they saw the young man's clothes, they looked at his master craftsman Ouyang Mohe.
With a respectful attitude from behind, you will naturally know who is coming.
General Li Xingchen of Zhenxi, a young man who single-handedly conquered Bashu and created miracles, appeared in front of them.
At this time, the sound of gongs suddenly came from the middle of the workshop. The craftsmen and the young men put down their things, but this time they did not rush to gather around. The sound of the gongs meant that dinner was about to begin, and it was now the right time.
It was lunch time, but Li Xingchen, Ouyang Mo and others were also standing in the open space in the center of the workshop.
Sheds were set up one after another, and steaming big pots of rice were brought out. Several fire-headed soldiers were busy busy without noticing anyone coming behind them.
"It's time to eat!" A fat cook shouted loudly, but the next moment he saw Li Xingchen, Ouyang Mo and others not far away, and he was speechless for a moment.
Li Xingchen walked up quickly and said with a smile: "I have come all the way from Shu County. My stomach is already growling with hunger. How about having a meal here?"
The fat cook's hands trembled and he nodded hurriedly. Li Xingchen naturally picked up a plate and lined up. At the same time, he turned back and said, "dinner is ready, why don't you come to eat?"
Those craftsmen and young men who were still hesitant suddenly rushed up with cheers. Li Pingping's personal guards were anxious to protect Li Xinchen, but Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to ask them to step back. He looked at a slightly embarrassed man walking behind him.
Young craftsman: "The food here is pretty good, are you still getting used to the accommodation?"
The young craftsman's face has turned red. He is Ouyang Mo's apprentice. When he first entered Shu, he once saw Li Xingchen from a distance on the building boat. It can be said that this young general who single-handedly pacified Bashu is the best among all this generation.
The idol and role model of young people, and at this moment Li Xingchen was standing in front of him, with a friendly tone, which made the young craftsman feel that he was really smoking on his ancestral grave, and he was stammering for a while:
"If you eat well and live comfortably, the general will rest assured!"
Li Xingchen laughed loudly: "That's good. I am still counting on you to support the sky in the future. If you have been wronged in any way, I will feel very sorry!"
As he spoke, Li Xingchen stepped forward and poured the steaming pork stew into the bowl. Several fire-headed soldiers looked at his generals with the same excitement. Li Xingchen smelled the fragrance and made a great gesture to them.
.
A famous craftsman and Ding Zhuang had a meal and dispersed, while Tang Zhengliang and Ouyang Mo each brought a bowl and sat next to Li Xingchen. Ouyang Mo had obviously been used to this kind of life for a long time, and he ate happily.
Tang Zhengliang still maintained the last bit of dignity as a member of aristocratic family, but obviously this hot and fragrant pork stew was also very tempting to him.
Li Xingchen finished the meal quickly. After all, this pork stew had more vegetables and less meat, but in this war-torn era, it was good to see slices of meat. Putting down the bowl, Li Xingchen stood up and looked around. Many craftsmen
He and the young adults had all finished eating, and Li Xingchen immediately said loudly: "Brothers, I came here today and saw that you were working in full swing and that you were eating well. I am very happy!"
Li Xinchen's loud voice rose from the ground, and all eyes suddenly focused on him. Li Xinchen waved his hand: "The land you are stepping on now will be built into the largest workshop in Bashu within a year. From this
The agricultural equipment produced in the workshop will be able to meet the farming needs of the entire Bashu; the arrows, swords and guns produced in this workshop will enable an army of 100,000 to sweep across the world; the siege equipment produced in this workshop can
Let no strong city in the world be able to stop our military front!"
A famous craftsman looked at Li Xinchen excitedly. They knew that what Li Xinchen said was true. They knew that Li Xinchen had described to them the most ideal future that was gradually being realized.
Li Xingchen stamped his feet and said loudly: "You have nothing to feel inferior to, and you have nothing to regret. The sweat and strength you have shed today are all to support the sky above our heads! So!
