Chapter 529 Difficulties and Opportunities

Zhang Xiao was practicing flying knives at the Jinyiwei Mansion. A Jinyiwei who was in charge of guarding the door today came back to find him, saying that the third lady was looking for him.

Normal people are not allowed to enter the Jinyiwei Mansion at will, including Liu Xin’s family members and subordinates. When Zhang Xiao heard Liu Xiaomei looking for him, he couldn’t help but smile. He put away his throwing knife and left the Jinyiwei Mansion, and saw Liu Xiaomei outside the house.

Wait for yourself.

"Miss Third!" Zhang Xiao said when he saw Liu Xiaomei.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you." There was a hint of shyness on Liu Xiaomei's face. Zhang Xiao couldn't help but stare blankly. He saw Liu Xiaomei leaving and then slowly followed her.

The two came to the street. Zhang Xiao followed Liu Xiaomei without saying a word, while Liu Xiaomei also walked aimlessly.

"I plan to go to Wudu County, and my brother agreed!" Liu Xiaomei said...

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but tremble when he heard Liu Xiaomei say that he was going to Wudu County. Liu Xiaomei would definitely go to Wudu County to find Huang Xu, but what could he say at this time?

"Yeah!" Zhang Xiao felt that his mood was already a little unstable. He forced himself to behave normally. He was afraid that Liu Xiaomei would suddenly say something he didn't want to hear.

"I'm going to Wudu County to make it clear to Huang Xu. My brother said that since we have no choice, we should make it clear to Huang Xu." Liu Xiaomei said.

Zhang Xiao was a little puzzled. Liu Xiaomei at least didn't tell him about her engagement.

"I'm going to Wudu County, can you protect me?" Liu Xiaomei saw that Zhang Xiao was still like him, rarely speaking, so she couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiao returned.

"Well, then when you come back this time, you will propose marriage to my brother." Liu Xiaomei said.

Before Zhang Xiao could react, Liu Xiaomei asked him to propose marriage to Liu Xin. She wanted to marry him!

"Why don't you speak?" Liu Xiaomei saw Zhang Xiao staring at her with stunned eyes, and couldn't help but smile at him.

"No, I...don't know if the Lord will agree!" Although he said this, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but feel excited, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.

Liu Xiaomei saw Zhang Xiao smiling, and she smiled too. She took the initiative to hold Zhang Xiao's hand, but Zhang Xiao's arms were so stiff that he seemed unable to walk.

"Don't you want to marry me?" Liu Xiaomei asked deliberately.

"I want...I can't even dream of it! I will give everything for you and my lord!" Zhang Xiao said hurriedly.

When Liu Xiaomei heard what Zhang Xiao said, she couldn't help but feel sweet. The two walked hand in hand on the street. When they met familiar people, Liu Xiaomei greeted them politely. Zhang Xiao remained expressionless, and everyone smiled at them with blessings.

On November 13, there was frost in Chengdu County, and the entire land suddenly turned white. Liu Xin hurriedly contacted the Ministry of Commerce and the Business Association, asking textile factories and garment workshops to seize the time to make warm clothes. This year, Shu County

It is obviously much colder than before, and this year is likely to be a cold winter.

The ground is frozen, and many jobs cannot be done. This will have a great impact on the construction of rivers and dams under Liu Xin's rule. This is no longer the time to consider the severe drought in the coming year. Liu Xin must first ensure the food and clothing of the people. He has been in Shu County for so long.

Yes, he has only seen light snowfall once in Chengdu County, but he has never seen ground freezing.

None of this is a good sign. The entire Qilin Trading Company has become busy. Frost in Chengdu County will have a great impact on itself. Climate change will cause changes in the ecology. Liu Xin may have to face difficulties that he has never had before.

It's just that this is the earth's environment, and Liu Xin can't change it. All states and counties in the world will be affected by the Little Ice Age. But Liu Xin has knowledge that many people in later generations don't have, and he can make a lot of preparations to deal with this.

Disasters, if handled well, may turn bad things into good things.

He asked Qilin Merchants to send all kinds of cloth to counties and counties in Yizhou. This year, more and more cotton was planted in Shu County, and the textile mills were working at full capacity and accumulated a lot of cloth. He ordered the county and county governments to send all kinds of cloth to Yuexun.

County, Yizhou County and other mountain barbarian tribes. At this time, these tribes must need a large amount of cloth to keep warm.

At the same time, the markets in counties and counties in eastern Yizhou will be further opened, and Shu County's banknotes will be used by more people, which can accelerate the continued growth of Shu County's economy.

There is also the reputation of Liu Xin, and the brand name of Shu County's cloth and clothing. In the future, Shu County's cotton cloth can become the image specialty of Shu County, a specialty that is more famous than Qilin Trading Company's fried noodles, red sausage, and fine wine.

All orders were issued, businessmen were running for profit, and the government was playing a supporting and guiding role. All kinds of cotton-padded clothes began to appear in various garment stores and cloth shops in Chengdu County, which made the people no longer worry about this cold winter.

In December, the evaluation results of officials in the six counties appeared on Liu Xin's desk. Two books with hundreds of pages of statistics. The evaluations of more than 400 officials this year were recorded in all aspects. Liu Xin carefully read the two books.

Within days, it was decided to recruit 84 officials back to the prefecture and send new officials to various counties to take over.

After these 84 officials arrived at the prefecture, it would not be easy for them to go out to serve as officials in the future. Liu Xin replaced all the officials in these counties at once. Everyone understood Liu Xin's attitude towards officials, and no one felt that they were going out to serve as officials.

An official can sit back and relax if nothing happens to him. If he does nothing or acts indiscriminately in his official position, Liu Xin will directly remove him from his post, even if he is just a county lieutenant in a small county.

In this way, people from aristocratic families began to change their understanding of officials. County government officials began to become more friendly to the people, and officials became more down-to-earth. The habit of just talking empty words is no longer enough.

From the beginning of December in Shu County, the people of Shu County have rarely begun to enter the rest time of the year, which is more than half a month earlier than last year. When the shortage of charcoal began to be scarce in various places this year, Liu Xin took the desulfurized stone near the iron castle.

The coal was transported to counties for sale, and the county government was asked to publicize the precautions for using stone coal and charcoal for heating in winter. This could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which could kill people.

After all the government affairs were dealt with, Liu Xin planned to return to Ruixian County. Every year, his family would go back to Ruixian County to celebrate the New Year. However, this year due to the cold weather, Liu Xin and Wang Xiaohua did not want to take their son to leave Chengdu. Zhang Qingyu was also pregnant and did not want to go on the road.

Liu Xin also thought about not returning to Ruixian County this year, but his mother was still there, and he could not leave her alone in Ruixian County under any circumstances.

He has not yet met the daughter of Liu Wanliu and Zhao Yun. As an uncle, he has to go to Rui County to see his newborn niece.

This year, there are more than 200,000 people in Ruixian County. Now the total population of Ruixian County has exceeded 900,000, making it a city larger than the former capital of Luoyang. However, the construction of Ruixian County is different from that of Luoyang City.
