In the next few days, Chen Xu, like usual, went up and down, and after handling official duties, he accompanied Yu Wuya to wander around to watch the changes in the inside and outside of Xianyang over the past two or three years. At the same time, he also made countless delicacies by himself, calling his friends to come and have a banquet with Yu Wuya. After seven or eight consecutive days of eating wild food, Yu Wuya's desire to eat delicious food was completely suppressed and began to become like a normal person.

At the same time, Shui Qingrou and a group of women accompanied Xia Zijin to visit Cuju Shopping Mall, and also went to the Huayu Palace in Jingyang to watch the perfume and soap making. The whole family was happy.

During this period, in addition to the continued competition for the Flower Courtesan competition in Xianyang, Chen Xu's huge plan with a 4 billion investment has been hyped like popcorn. Various legends and rumors have expanded to Xianyang and can't be loaded. As the two periodic newspapers also promoted the silver and sulfur brought back by Yu Wuya, and many people also witnessed more than ten large trucks transporting the silver transported back to the Huaxia Money House, Yingzhou instantly became the hottest topic of discussion.

Especially the merchants, they were all inexplicably excited, and gathered together in groups of three or five to discuss the money to build a ship in the East China Sea and want to make a fortune in Yingzhou.

Moreover, there have been news in private that Maofeng Freight, which first raised money to build sea ships, had two sea ships back from Yingzhou. Not only did they carry many rare coral, tortoiseshell, clam pearls and other sea treasures, they also found a gold mine, and had dug and smelted tens of thousands of taels of gold back to Langya. It has also spread that Maofeng Freight ordered eight larger sea ships at the Langya Shipyard this time, preparing to go to Yingzhou to grab the minerals on a large scale.

The most important thing is that there are rumors in the court that Yingzhou and the Korean Peninsula will not adopt the county system, nor will it prohibit private mining, but will issue something called a license. As long as you get the license, anyone can go to Yingzhou to make a fortune.

Soon, the matter about the license became clear. It was a court document issued by the Secretariat, which was similar to the emperor's decree. It was said to have been designed by the Hou of Qinghe and distributed by the newly built Customs Office through auction or deposit, and it did not cost much money...

With the continuous promotion of well-informed people, the inside story of the 4 billion plan and the development of Yingzhou and overseas are becoming clearer and clearer. Although the First Emperor has not officially implemented this huge plan, this matter is almost certain.

Because China Money Bank has begun to make an appointment for 500 million treasury bonds, it has been heard that the central money bank has also begun to print treasury bonds on a large scale, especially the preparations for the Customs Administration have been completed. Li You, the eldest son of former left prime minister Li Si, and the governor of Sanchuan County, has already gone to Xianyang to report his work.

Based on all the news, it is urgent to launch this super plan by Qinghehou.

Forty billion, if you can get a little leftover from it, it will be a huge fortune.

Even for the rich who don’t like to take risks, the 500 million treasury bond is an extremely attractive opportunity. The interest rate is 5% and the three-year term. After purchasing 100,000 yuan, you can get a 15,000 yuan profit for three years. This money is simply too easy to make.

As for the things that China Money Bank cannot repay, almost no one will consider.

The boss behind the Huaxia Money House is Qinghe Hou. No one in the world can believe it, but the character of Qinghe Hou has to be believed. If you dare to say you don’t believe it, a group of people will jump out and beat you up to the bruised face, and then drag it to the lieutenant’s mansion to meet the officials, saying that you slander the Grand Tutor and the Left Prime Minister.

During the time I spent so quickly, Chen Xu was not completely idle. According to the planning and arrangements, two enamel factories were built, directly under the Academy of Sciences, and expanded based on the Red Star Enamel Factory. The factory site is located in Weinan, mainly producing military products, but the expanded production capacity can also be used to produce civilian enamel for sale.

The other one is a private company. The factory is located in Donghai County, far from Xianyang, which is convenient for the mining of ordinary crystal ore sands and the transportation of porcelain clay. It can be produced on a large scale. At that time, it can be shipped to the West by sea. It invests in a group of merchants with relationships and backdoors, and there are shadows of kings and princes behind the scenes, but this is not important. What is important is that the opening of this factory will greatly alleviate the shortage of private enamel supply.

In addition to the enamel factory, the most important thing is the three most powerful weapons to conquer the world, muskets, artillery and powder. Therefore, Chen Xu carefully planned and wrote a letter to Emperor Shi, summoning prison slaves to start the construction of the Daqin Gun Factory, ammunition factory and gunpowder factory in a valley in Liyang County, 50 miles northeast of Xianyang.

This is the first firearm manufacturing base in the true sense in human history. Passage walls are built at the entrance of the valley, guard towers and sentry towers are built on the ridges on both sides, and a thousand imperial guards are arranged to guard day and night. A radius of twenty miles of paintings is selected from the Academy of Sciences and experimental factories. Everyone is awarded the lowest level five lord by the First Emperor, and the salary is quite generous. However, in order to keep it confidential, everyone is not allowed to leave the base without authorization. When going out, they must go through layers of strict inspections and accompanying, and they are not allowed to stay overnight. All their families are arranged to live at the base and provide superior living guarantees. Moreover, most of the workers at the base are sentenced to death row prisoners. No one is allowed to step out of the base, otherwise they will be shot and killed directly.

After doing these things about the country, Chen Xu did not forget his private work, that was to deal with his own disaster.

Therefore, Chen Xu arranged for the servants to set off separately with their own handwriting and letters.

Yu Langya asked Cao Shen and Xiao He to build more sea ships as soon as possible, prepare a large amount of coal, stone, and steel, and arrange for manpower to continue transporting sulfur and silver to Yingzhou to hoard them.

Yu Qinghe Town asked Niu Dashi to select two hundred outstanding boys from the musket team.

Yu Wuzhong asked Jiang Heng to purchase and hoard a batch of food and clothing that was enough for 3,000 people to eat and drink for two years.

All these things can start smoothly after leaving for Qinghe Town in April.

In the midst of busy work, it was the end of March and the weather became hotter and hotter.

However, the hot weather could not stop the enthusiasm of people of all levels. After half a month of competition, the courtesan selection entered the final stage.

On March 26, amid the crowd of attention, ten courtesans held the final round of the competition, Lin Xian'er won third place, and another actor selected by Wanwan and Shi Xuan also entered the top ten.

Shortly after the game, under the coercion and temptation of Chen Xu and Zhao Hai, besides Cuiyunxuan, Lin Xianer, there are four top ten Quyuans willing to sell their top courtesans, but Lin Xianer is the top one, and she is the only one of the three leaders for sale.

In accordance with the previous agreement with Zhao Hai, Chen Xu and several owners of Quyuan Garden gathered in Chunfang Garden to discuss the price and decided to draw lots with Zhao Hai to determine the destinations of several courtesans.

Write the names of the five courtesans with a blank piece of paper and knead them into a ball, then put them in a pottery jar that can only be reached with one hand, and each person will take turns to grab them, and whoever you catch is considered to be.

The Hou of Qinghe and Hou Jiancheng agreed on this unique way to transfer the courtesan for the development of their own Quyuan, which naturally attracted the enthusiastic attention of many princes and princes. Therefore, Chunfang Garden is quite lively today. In addition to the large group of idle princes who like to eat, drink, bet and gambling last time, there were also three shareholders including Meng Yi, Shen Gongyan and Qi Dang, who were also surprised to watch.

It can be said that the thing that draws lots depends entirely on luck. Chen Xu naturally didn't know which three he would catch or whether he would catch a blank note, but if he caught Lin Xian'er and another undercover agent, it would take a lot of trouble. However, Chen Xu was not nervous, and the courtesan was second. The drunkard's intention was not to drink, and his target was only Zhao Hai.

However, Zhao Hai did not know Chen Xu's thoughts. He had a chaotic slug in his heart. His target was Lin Xian'er. If Lin Xian'er could be captured, his Chunfang Garden would become famous in the Xianyang Quyuan world. Under the call of the top courtesan and under the inspiration of Lin Xian'er's personal charm, countless princes, princes, nobles and wealthy people would inevitably come to Chunfang Garden to support and entertain, so that he could have more opportunities to contact and win more people to help.

However, once Lin Xian'er is captured by Chen Xu, he can only bow his head and accept his fate.

Everything was about to stop. A small clay pot was placed on the desk between the two of them. The note was written by Meng Yi. Neither of them had handled it, so they could only look at their luck.

Not only Zhao Hai was nervous, but Meng Yi and a group of princes and princes watching were nervous, and the five courtesans, including several garden owners and Lin Xianer, were even more nervous.

The five courtesans have different ideas. Lin Xian'er and another actor who are preparing to be undercover are nervous that if they cannot be drawn by Jiancheng Hou, they will inevitably lose the opportunity to help Qinghe Hou. Perhaps there is no hope of quitting their hometown in this life.

The other three courtesans all wanted to be drawn by Chen Xu. Following the world-famous Qinghe Hou, the famous Qinghe Hou was praised by Qinghe Theater. This is almost the common voice of famous actors in the world.

"Hehe, Jiancheng Hou looks very nervous!" Chen Xu rubbed his hands and looked at Zhao Hai sitting opposite him.

"Haha, Zuo Xiang is joking, why are you nervous? But a few sluts, let's start, who will come first?" Zhao Hai took a few deep breaths to calm his nervousness and spoke with a dry smile.

"Xu doesn't matter. It's the same for everyone to come first, but for fairness, how about our dice?" Chen Xu took out a delicate and smooth dice polished by beef bones from his pocket.

"It's so good, the left minister first!"

"good!"

Chen Xu was not humble either. He grabbed the dice in his hand and shook it, then threw it on the table, bounced and rolled, and then frozen at five o'clock.

"Mr. Jiancheng!" Chen Xu smiled and signaled. Zhao Hai grabbed the dice with a little nervousness and quickly threw a three-pointer.
Chapter completed!
