Chu Capital, Yingcheng.

Huang Xie finally finished the day's busy work. He straightened his body from the piles of documents, stretched his waist, and let his long breaths go. He finally had a rest. He returned to the mansion, took a warm bath, and then asked the maid's soft hands to press the sore bones all over his body to sleep well, so that he could take a good night's sleep and nourish his energy to devote himself to tomorrow's work.

The State of Chu was too big and there were too many things. Even though he had screened the memorials after the Secretariat of the Central Committee and only picked up some important things to him, he still had endless work to do.

After the major case, Huang Xie stood up and put on his wrinkled clothes. He was about to leave the General Office and return home. Today, he had almost never left this major case except for the convenience of eating. There were always endless memorials and endless officials.

However, although he was tired, Huang Xie was tired. Once he really had nothing to do, he suspected that he would not be able to hold on.

"Sir, Commander Zhao is asking for a visit." Before his feet could step out of the threshold, an official rushed over and bowed.

"Shucheng? Why is he here at this time?" Huang Xie frowned. It was almost three o'clock in the morning. Why did Zhao Shucheng, as the ghost commander, come to see him in a hurry? Didn't he go to Jiangnan? Could something big happened again?

My heart tightened, and the fatigue that had just risen immediately flew away, "Please hurry up."

When Zhao Shucheng stepped into Huang Xie's official hall, Huang Xie was already sitting behind the scenes again. When he saw him coming in, he stood up straight, "Shucheng, have you just returned from Jiangnan? Why didn't you take a break? Why did you have to come and tell me today? "

Zhao Shucheng bowed and bowed to Huang Xie: "The Chief Supervisor, Shucheng is a martial artist. He is used to running around for a long distance, so he is not tired. But after he came back, he heard about something and felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to meet the Chief Supervisor. It won't delay the Chief Supervisor, you should rest, right?"

Huang Xie laughed and said, "You don't feel tired when you come back from Jiangnan thousands of miles away. I, a person who sits in the official hall every day, dares to shout that I am tired? Jiangnan and his party are still going well, right?"

"It's okay, the Jiangnan riot case has been found." Zhao Shucheng said.

"Oh, so, have you figured out the whole story of this riot?" Huang Xie immediately looked happy. Jiangnan is a place of wealth and wealth in Da Chu, but over the past year, there have been many riots, which gave him a headache.

Speaking of this, Zhao Shucheng's brow frowned deeply: "Although there are some eyebrows, they are still far away from the truth. However, I am sure that there must be the shadow of the Han people here, and this is their specialty."

"Why did weaving riots come online with the Han people again? There has never been any information on this before!" Huang Xie was shocked. He was very alert when anything he had a relationship with the Han people.

"The riots of the chief assistant and weaver have happened three times this year. Although they happened in different counties in Jiangnan, the organization is tighter and more destructive. From the latest riot, my subordinates smelled some familiar smells, so they rushed over in person. Unfortunately, the trap I set was a failure at the last moment. The other side's hero cut off his arm, and the few suspects I targeted died inexplicably, and all the clues were completely interrupted. I was still hesitating about my judgment. But at this moment, I can be sure that there must be our colleagues in the riot that were plaguing, otherwise there would be no way to notice my actions."

"Jiangnan is the important financial and taxation place in my Great Chu. This is what happened again and again. It really makes the court unable to bear it. The tax and silver shipped from Jiangnan today decreased by one fifth in the same period last year. You should use more of your mind to find out the source as soon as possible. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go." Huang Xie said with a murderous intent.

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his courage, "Sir, the Han people are making trouble here, I have the confidence to find them out and kill them all, but when it comes to this source, I can't break it."

"Why is this?" Huang Xie said strangely: "Aren't these Han spies the source?"

"No." Zhao Shucheng shook his head, "If we want to talk about the source, we are still our own people. Our subordinates didn't quite understand what was happening here. This time we went down to talk to a county magistrate for a night. This person had seen someone and talked with him this night, which made me realize it."

"Tell me," Huang Xie was very interested.

"The source is our leap forward in technology on weaving silk threads." Zhao Shucheng looked at Huang Xie and said.

"What is this? Isn't technological progress a good thing? Why does the Han Dynasty continue to develop its national strength in a leap forward? It is because of the development of technologies related to national economy and people's livelihood. How can it enrich the country and strengthen the people in the Han Dynasty, and become the source of disaster when it comes to our country?" Huang Xie asked back.

Zhao Shucheng was a little regretful. You should know that the junior minister's family is the leader in the domestic silk weaving industry, and his in-laws, Fan Zhuo's family, even more controls the pricing power of domestic silk weaving, but they have already said this, but they cannot be taken back.

"The reason why the Han State is like this is because their development step by step, and our technological progress in silk reeling and weaving was obtained from the Han State. Before that, we did not make any preparations. The leapfrog development of these two technologies did reduce the cost of products, and the decline in prices brought about a significant increase in exports. But at the same time, our weavers and silk workers were unemployed due to this technology. In Jiangnan, workshops originally needed a large number of people, but now, a machine does the work that more than a dozen people did before. What should these people who have lost their source of livelihood do? How do they live and what should they use to support their families? We are not like the Han State, where there are a large number of workshops that can absorb these labor that has lost their jobs. After a long time, and with someone inciting them in the middle, it is difficult not to have any problems. In the past few times this year, the scale is larger and the organization is getting stronger and stronger. My subordinates are worried that if this continues, they will really lose control!"

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's appearance, Huang Xie knew exactly what was going on. The leap in technology brought wealth, but it also brought chaos.

"The Han people were not kind-hearted at the beginning. They must have known the consequences of doing so. The subordinates think that this is their deliberate behavior." Zhao Shucheng said angrily.

Huang Xie waved his hand, "Don't think about everything badly. This is because we are not considering it carefully, not thinking about possible consequences, and not doing a good job of back-up. I will find a way to solve this problem."

Of course, Huang Xie could not admit what Zhao Shucheng said. If Zhao Shucheng attributed this matter to the intentional act of the Han people, once he went to court, he would be afraid that his in-laws would lose money and he would suffer. More importantly, the progress in loom and silk reeling technology has indeed brought about financial growth. Next, he only needs to solve the problem of unemployed workers' futures, and this matter will be successfully solved.

"Yes." Zhao Shucheng nodded and stopped obsessing with this topic. This matter is related to the prime minister. Just click it. If you say too much, it will not only help but also make the prime minister have an opinion on himself. "Prime Minister, I am here today, not for this matter, but I heard that the prime minister agreed to introduce the bridge construction technology of the Han Dynasty and let the Han merchants contract to build our country's bridge?"

"Yes, this is true, but you still have one thing you haven't heard of. We spent one million taels of silver to buy a complete set of technology for the Han people's steel and cement bridge, and another 200,000 taels of silver to buy dozens of formulas of cement. This is a good deal." Huang Xie smiled.

"I think there must be another conspiracy from the Han people here." Zhao Shucheng said.

"Shucheng, I think you are about to get an occupational disease. You don't know much about this. How can you conclude that there is another conspiracy? The drawings we bought are real. After the Han people built a few bridges in China, our people will have almost learned it and can repair them by themselves in the future." Huang Xie smiled.

"Sincere assistant, I am worried that the Han engineering team will be able to travel through the mountains, rivers and valleys of our country in a big way. We have no secrets to them." Zhao Shucheng said a little discouraged.

Huang Xie laughed, "Shucheng, even if the Han engineering team did not come in, would it be difficult for them to get our detailed geographical situation? To put it bluntly, a merchant took the money and walked to that county casually, and I was afraid that he would buy the map of our county. I discussed it carefully with the Taiwei. This matter is very beneficial to our Great Chu and is also beneficial to the military. I originally planned to start construction around Yingcheng first, but when you come back today, I have changed my mind."

"You're going to?"

"I plan to put the first bridge and even the following bridges into Jiangnan. Aren't there many silk weavers in Jiangnan without a source of life? Then we will go to build bridges and pave roads. This requires a lot of manpower, and we can always digest some of it, right?"

"Are you no longer a recruiting husband?" Zhao Shucheng asked in surprise.

"We will not recruit military servants. This time we learn from the Han people and work and pay wages. It is not our court who takes money from the people." Huang Xie smiled.

"Why isn't the court taking the money when building bridges and paving roads?" Zhao Shucheng asked in surprise.

"According to the plan proposed by this merchant, the construction is funded by private funds. After the construction is completed, the card will be set up to charge the cost and make money. This is a good idea. Our great Chu is so rich that it is rich. All the money is buried in the cellar and it is rusted and moldy. It is just for them to take it out and use it. The merchant also wants to pay for it himself to build the bridge. However, Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue calculated a little and refused him. How could such a profitable thing be cheaper for this Han Chinese? They just need to repair it, we give the wages, and get out after it is repaired." Huang Xie smiled.

"This, isn't this buying money?" Zhao Shucheng was a little amused.
