North of the Yellow River, this is Liu Ming's old territory. Youzhou has now become Liu Ming's industrial powerhouse. Liu Ming cannot yet state-owned the land, but it is still possible to build several state-owned factories and encourage people to invest in and build factories themselves. After more than five years of development, Han County has transformed from a small farming village into the largest industrial concentration area in the north. At the same time, colleges of science and technology and research institutes are located here. As time goes by, more and more industrial products are beginning to appear here. Of course, the most important thing is that the output of these products is getting larger and larger, and the cost is getting lower and lower. This is the scary thing about large-scale industrial production. It is precisely because of the existence of this thing that the traditional individual workshops and the civilization of men farming and women weaving will be gradually eliminated. However, Liu Ming may not have failed to see the current situation in China. Considering the population problem, he had to limit the increase in output to prevent too much output from lacking an adequate market, thus causing excessive waste. After solving the population problems in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Liu Ming came to Han County, the place where he was born and grew up, and where Longxing first flourished. He came to inspect the factory here, and at the same time asked the research institute to see if the steam engine had been built. The rubber tree has begun to tap rubber. The yield is not much, but it can still be used for research. The original species of this kind of rubber tree is still a bit poor in the ability to produce glue. It must be gradually cultivated and selected to increase its ability to produce glue. Continuous improving. "Your Majesty is welcome to the industrial zone." Zhao Xue was transferred to Han County as the county magistrate two months ago. This is not overqualified. It can only be said that Zhao Xue was not very comfortable staying in the Hanlin Academy. To put it bluntly, there was a girl among so many men, which made her work very difficult. After all, others would subconsciously not want to cooperate. she. The chief officer ignored him, and his colleagues next to him also ignored him. He simply gave up his position in the Hanlin Academy and was decentralized to serve as a county magistrate or something. Liu Ming also treated the first female Jinshi in the Han Empire kindly and specially arranged for her to serve in Han County. , to express how much he values ??her. "This time I am visiting privately incognito, so I don't need so many courtesy. By the way, I have been here for a few months. Are you used to the work here?" Liu Ming brought Wang Gao over at this moment and said to her with a smile. "Everything went very smoothly. Although it is similar to the Hanlin Academy here, everyone is very pragmatic and rarely polite to me. This makes my work go very smoothly." Zhao Xue said with a smile. It can be seen that she has lost a lot of weight, and her originally red face has turned a little yellow. This is strong evidence of lack of sleep due to long-term busyness. It is conceivable that even if she is transferred to a local place to work as a woman, Still a little too forced. But Liu Ming can still see that she at least likes this job. If she wants to come here, she can at least believe it. Working here is at least easier than working in the Hanlin Academy. "Don't tire yourself" Liu Ming nodded and whispered. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Zhao Xue moved slightly, but quickly regained her composure. Accompanied by Zhao Xue, Liu Ming visited the industrial park. Here, he discovered that the steam engine had begun to be put into use. Under the action of the steam engine, the loom was weaving at a very fast speed. However, in the blink of an eye, a small piece of cloth It was spun out. "The steam engine is ready for use." Liu Ming asked curiously. "It was just put into use a month ago and is still being tested. In fact, since our people at the Academy of Sciences can produce it, there is no doubt about its performance even if it is not tested." Zhao Xue said proudly. "Don't be too proud. You must know that science must be rigorous first. Testing is a necessary process. Only in this way can we know its performance, defects and areas for improvement." Liu Ming said to her solemnly. "I know I was wrong." Zhao Xue apologized seriously. "Okay, don't be so nervous. No one has faults. Take me for a walk again." Liu Ming said with a smile. After a day of inspections, Liu Ming was indeed not tired, but seeing that everyone had taken a break from get off work, he simply went to stay at the inn. He had just changed clothes, but he didn't expect Wang Gao to knock on the door and say that Zhao Xue was here with some wine. "Let her in." Liu Ming seemed to have thought of something, but he did not stop him. "My lord, could you please have a drink with me?" Zhao Xue had changed back into women's clothing at this moment. She was originally so handsome and elegant, but now she was completely Xiaojiabiyu. Her age may have nothing to do with Xiaojiabiyu, but perhaps because of her cultivation, her appearance is still very young, and there is a certain stability in this youth. "Come in." Liu Ming smiled.?Laugh. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? We chatted a lot, but the distance between the two parties became closer and closer. In the end, Zhao Xue was already lying in Liu Ming's arms. She took no further action and just kept mumbling, seeming to be complaining and waiting for something. "Yeah." Finally, she closed her mouth, just because her mouth was blocked by Liu Ming's. The two parties kissed fiercely, but the clothes on their bodies were constantly decreasing, and finally the two parties met each other candidly. Zhao Xue is the embodiment of contradiction. She is lying on the bed at the moment, covering her face with her hands. This is her last shame. However, the cracks on the fingertips of the hands covering her face are so big, as if What to expect and urge. At that time, Zhao Xue could already be regarded as an over-age leftover girl. She no longer had the reserve and shyness of a young girl. What she needed was to be honest about her feelings and actively seek pleasure from her lover. "I've been waiting for a long time." Liu Ming came on top of her. "A long time, a long time." Zhao Xue whispered. Everything was spent in silence, only the whispers of both parties, Zhao Xue's whisper and Liu Ming's growl. "If you feel it's too hard, just quit your job here and come back to Yecheng with me." Liu Ming put his arms around Zhao Xue and said to her sweetly. "No, if I go back, all my years of hard work will be meaningless. I like this job, it can make me feel the value of my existence." Zhao Xue said stubbornly. "What about me?" Liu Ming pointed to himself. "You let me know the meaning of being a daughter, and let me know the value of keeping one's body as pure as jade for so many years." Zhao Xue said sweetly. Liu Ming knows that Zhao Xue is not a person who follows people's influence, and he understands better that she has been waiting for him for so long. However, before, he saw so many female relatives in the family, but he did not want to be infected with other emotions. Why do I regret it now? ¡°Perhaps it was because of looking at her haggard and yellow face that I felt compassion. After a night of silence, Zhao Xue still stayed in Han County to continue her work. She did not need any status or favor. If Liu Ming thought of her, he could come over. If not, she would wait silently. Liu Ming naturally would not allow such a thing to happen, and gave her a period of twenty years. After twenty years, no matter what position she held, Liu Ming would go back to Yecheng and become a housewife. Zhao Xue smiled, hugged Liu Ming and kissed her affectionately. Under such circumstances, the two sides said goodbye.
