I have been on a business trip for a few days and there is no update. I would like to say sorry to everyone~ ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Qian Xiaoxing vaguely remembers that the history book said that the invention of the steam engine started the first In an industrial era, the steam engines we make now are only used on wooden rail cars. It is simply too wasteful. There are too many places worthy of development and application. Steam engines can replace manpower. If widely promoted, labor productivity can be greatly improved. Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoxing became excited. Qian Xiaoxing picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the areas that could be modified, such as grain mills, generators, water pumps, transportation belts, etc. There were so many, and after a while he wrote a lot on the paper. Looking at so many things, Qian Xiaoxing called Yang Sishi and said to him: "The good use of steam engines can greatly promote the development of our country's productivity. I have now listed some areas that can be modified, but these It¡¯s still just a part, and there are many places waiting to be developed, so you need to discover and transform it.¡± Yang Si couldn¡¯t react at the moment, so he looked at the paper and said, ¡°Chief of Staff, these things you mentioned are all there. Can it be replaced by a steam engine? " "It's not a replacement, it's a steam engine as the power source. Look at this water pump, the water pumping shaft is driven by a steam engine. I believe our well salt plant will definitely need it," Qian Xiaoxing reminded. Yang Sishi woke up immediately after being reminded by Qian Xiaoxing. Looking at the places written on the paper, he immediately had an idea in his heart. These places can indeed be replaced by steam engines. Qian Xiaoxing continued: "Yang Sishi, a new era will be born in your hands. Just go ahead and do it. I will fully support you." Yang Sishi was a little excited after hearing this, imagining that it would be promoted nationwide. Steam engine, what a prosperous scene it will be, tremblingly said: "Chief of Staff, I will go all out!" With the steam engine, Qian Xiaoxing naturally thought of the electric motor. Now that there is a generator, it is just a matter of turning the electric motor. There are conditions. Electric motors were smaller and more convenient. Qian Xiaoxing regretted that he had only thought of generators, otherwise Siguo's industrial production would have undergone earth-shaking changes. However, currently Si State only has a dam at the intersection leading to the Yimu tribe, which can be used to generate electricity. To promote generators, a complete power supply system must first be established. Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoxing called Si Yingying and asked her to be responsible for various aspects of Si State. The regional water conservancy construction, on the other hand, the development of electric motors was also held at the same time. Imagining the Si State in the future, steam engines and electric motors have been widely used across the country, and many trams can even be built and put into use. The efficiency of logistics and people flow in various places can be improved a lot. Qian Xiaoxing began to feel excited. Although Si Guo is currently It doesn't have much land, but using production efficiency to increase the country's income is no worse than other big countries. After finishing these things, more than ten days had passed. At this time, Si Guo's intelligence network sent Lin Guo's intelligence. Qian Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment after reading the intelligence. He couldn't help slapping his forehead, regretting that he had not thought of these things. The intelligence content is that Lin Guo has sealed off all domestic banks and supermarkets, and all the money in the banks and the goods in the supermarkets are gone. Qian Xiaoxing took the information and immediately held a meeting. The attendees included Qian Xiaoxing's wives, Sima Yiqing, Xu Lingli and others. Qian Xiaoxing told everyone the content of the information and said: "I will review it first, and then It was my fault that we went to war with Lin State this time and did not foresee the subsequent revenge of Lin State. Shan'er, you are in charge of the bank and supermarket. Can you estimate how much we lost this time? " Ling Shan stood up, her tall figure There was still no change as before. She just smiled and said: "Brother Xing, don't worry. Just because you didn't expect it doesn't mean we didn't expect it. We have withdrawn most of the funds and goods from banks and supermarkets, leaving only It's just an empty shell there." "Really!" Qian Xiaoxing was very happy when he heard it. It seems that his wife group is not a vase, but has some strength. I thought the loss would be huge this time, but this way the loss was minimized. Ling Shan continued: "Yes, in fact, this time Lin Guo sealed our bank, the loss was still Lin Guo himself, this time we made a lot of money." Qian Xiaoxing didn't quite understand, and asked: "How do you say this? ?¡± Lingshan smiled slightly and said: ¡°The money in Lin Guo¡¯s bank belongs to Lin Guo, but we have shipped most of the money back to Si Guo. Now that the bank has been seized by Lin Guo, the bank has naturally lost its role. , then all the money belongs to our country.¡± Si Yingying said: ¡°Now the people who have the banknotes can¡¯t cash them in, but it¡¯s a shame for the people that they want to seal our bank. If there is a debtor, there is an owner. If the people want to make trouble, they will go to King Lin. It is estimated that this will cause trouble in the Lin Kingdom. "After listening to this, Sima Yiqing nodded frequently and said: "Everyone is right. Moreover, the people have lost their money, and the economy of Lin State must have been greatly affected. King Lin has shot himself in the foot by sealing the bank. " Saying this made Qian Xiaoxing extremely happy. It was a blessing in disguise. Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but smile. "Shan'er, how much money did you bring from Lin State?" "After counting, the total is more than 18.75 million taels." Ling Shan replied. "Oh," Qian Xiaoxing's mouth formed a circle in surprise and said, "It's developed, it's developed this time." Seeing Qian Xiaoxing so happy, Lingshan reminded: "Brother Xing, don't forget, Lin Guo has no There is a bank in Siguo, but the bank notes in the hands of people in Linguo can still be circulated in Siguo. " "You mean that people in Linguo can withdraw money from our bank in Siguo?" Qian Xiaoxing thought. This immediately made me nervous. Whether to give or not was a serious question. If you don't give it, Siguo Bank won't be able to exchange the money, and the bank will close down as soon as people spread the news, causing disastrous consequences for the people. If you give it, you will have to give out the money you got, and you will be very reluctant to give it away. Seeing Qian Xiaoxing's helpless appearance, Sima Yiqing smiled and said: "Xian son-in-law, what's the problem with this problem? As long as we prevent spies from entering Si State and close Huju Pass in the name of war, even the people of Lin State will not be able to enter." One, this problem will be solved." "Haha, that's what my father-in-law said." Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Then close Huju Pass immediately." In fact, Qian Xiaoxing doesn't need to close Huju Pass, Lin Guo has already done so. The road was blocked and no one from Lin State would be allowed to pass. This made the people hate King Lin to death, but it did a great favor to Si State. Lingshan added: "The silver from Lin State has been transferred to Si State, but the money from Shi State's bank has not been transported because it is too far away. My brother has already gone to deal with it and will hide the money secretly to prevent it from being wasted. Xiao also came to steal our money. " "Okay, very good. Some people say that there must be a great woman behind a successful man. It seems that there are many great women behind me. Thank you to all the beautiful wives for doing so much for me. "More." When Qian Xiaoxing said this, he was moved and bowed deeply. Everyone stood up, and Si Yingying said: "Brother Xing, you are fighting here and there, and it is harder than us. I have told everyone that everything at home must be done well, and I can't let you worry about it anymore." "Well, the military medal is half mine and half yours." Qian Xiaoxing said happily. Sima Yiqing nodded and said: "Xian son-in-law, since you are responsible for the external affairs, have you thought about how to deal with Lin Guo?" Hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing sighed and said: "Actually, I am tired of war. I thought I would be fine after marrying the princess of the Lin Kingdom, but I didn¡¯t expect King Lin to be so ruthless and unjust. Since he is unkind, don¡¯t blame me for being unjust. When our army grows stronger, I will fight him to the end.¡± "You mean to further develop the team? You now have 150,000 people, which is quite a lot. I think at the beginning, you only had tens of thousands of people. Hu Jun had dozens of times more, but you dared to break out of Cangqiong Pass. Why? Are you no longer so domineering?" Sima Yi Qing asked with a smile. "Um" Qian Xiaoxing was indeed a little confused. Now that there were more troops, he didn't dare to fight out. Don't he have no confidence? Sima Yiqing analyzed: "There is an old saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At first, you could be said to be a barefoot person. Now that you have shoes to wear, it is no wonder that your mood will naturally change. However, soldiers are expensive. Quick, if you want to fight to the death with Lin Guo, you must not delay any longer. You cannot just defend without attacking. It is the best way to attack before Lin Guo is ready. " Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "My father-in-law's analysis is reasonable. , then according to your opinion, how should we attack?" Since Sima Yiqing joined Si Guo, Qian Xiaoxing seems to have been relieved of his burden, and he no longer has to worry about these things. Sima Yiqing replied: "Sending troops from Huju Pass can retreat, defend or attack, and it is very close to Lin Guoqidu. It is very dangerous for Lin Guo. Instead of just defending without attacking, it is better to use offense as defense. In this way, Lin Guo The king will definitely gather heavy troops in Qidu, and the defensive pressure on the Nalan River will be reduced a lot. " "Okay, then listen to my father-in-law. I will inform Brother Zhong immediately and ask him to send 50,000 elite troops." Qian Xiaoxing decided. replied with determination.
