    After eating and resting for a while, the team slowly left Xinye.

    Sima Bei went back after he finished speaking. He didn¡¯t exchange much greetings, let alone make friends with everyone.

    What Legalists hate the most is the Confucians who form cliques, and then the descendants of the clan and nobles.

    ¡°Otherwise, Miao Yan wouldn¡¯t deal with them ruthlessly every time.

    Liu Mingqi and his party only had about forty people including the maids, but there were more than one hundred and nearly two hundred carriages.

    There is no way, these young masters and ladies are used to enjoying themselves. They usually stay alone in the carriage and are not used to several people crowded together.

    Various living supplies, various food reserves, as well as the guards' equipment, tents, etc. need to be loaded with so much stuff, so the carriage is naturally indispensable.

    Most of these carriage drivers are brought by young people themselves. They are all powerful men who can pick up swords and guns to fight in an emergency.

    Liu Mingqi is not that particular. There are three confidants in his carriage.

    ¡° Anyway, Princess Yu gave the order.

    Unless they are staying in an inn in the city, Dazhu and Fan Shan cannot leave Liu Mingqi's side.

    "More than half of the time on this journey was spent in the carriage. How could they not accompany Liu Mingqi?"

    ????????????????????????????????????? If there is a volley of thousands of arrows, they will not be able to save him.

    Sitting on the carriage, Liu Mingqi was thinking about what just happened.

    In fact, when Sima Bei came over, Liu Mingqi suddenly remembered that the second step of his sweet potato experiment could be implemented here.

    Once Sima Bei actively built canals and irrigated the fields well, he was very concerned about agriculture and would not ignore sweet potatoes.

    The land that sweet potatoes need is not fertile. On the contrary, relatively barren sandy soil is the favorite growing environment for sweet potatoes.

    So it doesn¡¯t have to compete for the people¡¯s current land, but it can also bring extra food harvests to the people. This is simply the best of both worlds.

    Secondly, Sima Bei himself was extremely prestigious, and even the gentry did not dare to neglect his orders.

    In this case, they will do whatever the people sent by Liu Mingqi to guide sweet potato cultivation say.

    Only by being so obedient can we achieve the best harvest of sweet potatoes, which will completely shock them and make them spontaneously start to promote planting in the future.

    Sanlai Xinye was originally famous for its agriculture. In later generations, Xinye¡¯s sweet potatoes happened to be a well-known agricultural product, selling well all over the country.

    Therefore, Liu Mingqi believes that this place is very suitable as a promotion base.

    But it happened that Sima Bei was talking about briquettes.

    Once the briquette workshop starts construction in Xinye County, the sweet potato issue can be put aside for the time being.

    After all, sweet potatoes have just begun to be planted and promoted, and they cannot be mixed with the coal ash flying in the sky.

    So turning around, can Xinye County be a honeycomb coal workshop?

    OK!

    And Sima Bei¡¯s positioning is too accurate!

    ¡°He didn¡¯t say much about cheap labor and hard work. These advantages are shared by ordinary people in almost every place.

    In other words, the people around the capital are a little more pampered.

    So this is not Xinye County¡¯s advantage.

    The biggest advantage of Xinye County lies in its geographical location in Sima Beishuo.

    Xinye is the county closest to Hubei in the Gyeonggi region.

    ¡°Otherwise, Liu Mingqi, who made sleighs before, wouldn¡¯t have come here.

    It extends in all directions, less than 150 miles away is Xiangyang City!

    Xiangyang City is one of the important towns in Hubei. The last time the prince went to Hubei for disaster relief, the first stop was there.

    And it is also four hundred miles away from Jingmen City. If you hurry up, you can reach it in a day and a half.

    Even it is only about 300 miles away from Suizhou, an important town in northeastern Hubei.

    This basically covers the western and northern parts of Hubei.

    "Then it's 650 miles from Xinye to Yichang in Hubei Province, which is 250 miles from Jingmen. It can be reached in two and a half days.

    What does it mean to go to Yichang?

    Yichang is one of the important hubs of the Yangtze River transportation line.

    From here you can go south by water to Jingzhou, Yueyang, Huanggang and Jiujiang.

    ??Going west from here, you can enter through the Three Gorges?Can't move, especially the clan's business.

    ??Then the clan can purchase land to build workshops, but once the workshop is no longer in use, it is impossible to convert the land to farming.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like in later generations, you can use your workshop to repair houses and sell them to the people.

    Therefore, it is not cost-effective for the clan members to leave these workshops empty, and they usually sell them to others at low prices.

    Under such circumstances, in the briquette workshop in Xinye County, the land price must not be expensive, otherwise we will suffer a big loss if we sell it in the future. Who can bear it?

    "The third aspect is the employment of people. We must choose them ourselves. We can't just want everyone." Chi San said: "Your Highness, this is the key point!"

    Looking at his expression of emotion, Liu Mingqi smiled unconsciously, "What's wrong?"

    "Hey, you don't know that those two workshops in Beijing are really a lot of trouble!" Chi San said: "The workers in the second workshop are obviously lazier and less diligent, and they have a harder time completing tasks every day.

    The people at the First Workshop are quite diligent, but they are older and younger. Women are never as good as men in doing hard work, so they always feel that they lack a little bit of enthusiasm.  "

    "Hahaha¡­¡­"

    Liu Mingqi laughed out loud.

    The people around the capital are not as diligent as the people in small places, and they are good at completing tasks.

    So far, the first workshop has more than 10,000 more people than the second workshop, and the output is still about the same. It is because of these old, weak, women and children workers.

    Of course, the victims also have realistic considerations, and they also have some shortcomings of their own, so this situation is not outrageous.

    After all, it was to take care of their livelihood, so the workshop was placed there.

    ¡°Chi San has worked as a supervisor in both workshops, so naturally he felt aggrieved when he saw this situation.

    Seeing Liu Mingqi smiling, Chi San also asked his own question: "Your Highness, when we get to Xinye County, it's impossible for you to still pay one hundred wen a day, right?"

    "Of course not."

    Liu Mingqi shook his head.

    Every place has its own income and consumption situation, and it is impossible to generalize.

    The Beijing side gave so much money, on the one hand, the victims needed to save money to go home.

    On the other hand, prices in Beijing are very expensive. If you don¡¯t give people a little more, the money they earn is not enough to eat. How can you save money and travel long distances back to your hometown to start a new life?

    "Don't worry about this. Come over with Tian Rong and the others to discuss it later." Liu Mingqi warned, "But the wages cannot be lowered. Working with briquettes is tiring and dirty, so we cannot treat them badly."

    "I see!"

    Chi Sanjiasou replied.

    Liu Mingqi has always been very kind to these workers and gives them a lot of money.

    Although he felt a little disadvantaged as a servant, it is always a good thing if the master has a good heart, right?

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t you cry to death if you follow a master who is stingy and tries his best to make you work?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
