I’m Walking the Career Line In Dog Blood

    Three years later.

    "Is there really sugar?" The worker wearing a moon-white turban was looking around the pointed basket, and there were crystal sugar lumps under the basket. The owner of the sugar factory carefully squeezed the next piece and put it into his mouth, his eyes slowly widened.

    "Sugar! It's real candy!"

    The workers all cheered, and said one after another: "If we know that kohlrabi can make sugar, then it must be able to make sugar. I never doubted it."

    "Yes, if I doubt, I can't be admitted to the sugar workshop. Wouldn't it be better to go to the wool dyeing workshop next door? I can also find a female worker to marry, a two-person family, I don't know how good it is ."

     "Now that there is sugar, can we still make the condensed milk that Mr. Zhizhou said?"

    "More than that? You can do anything. It can be packed in porcelain cans and sold to the dining table of the king of the Western Regions. I'm not sure, we need another workshop in Zhanghua County, and we can recruit more What about the workers?"

     "That's good, my sister has always wanted to join the workshop and become a female worker, so she can choose a good family and a husband-in-law."

     Fangzhu looked at the sugar crystals, and his eyes were wet: "It's not easy, wait two years for the kohlrabi to grow well, and wait for a year to experiment with various methods to make sugar. Sugar, we finally made it. In the future, Zhanghua County will be a sugar-producing county."

    Dingsha's rubber, Pingqiu's rabbit skin, Baisha's wool felt, Jiahu's dairy products, and now it's their turn to Zhanghua's sugar.

    Rabbit skins and wool felts are not rare in the Western Regions, but sugar is rare.

    Even if they know that kohlrabi can make sugar, they don't know how. Protect this secret recipe, and they will continue to make money from the mutual market.

    This money can be turned into their children's lunch, into cheap and useful tools and a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

    The workers of the sugar factory walked out of the workshop with joy. The owner of the workshop has distributed bonuses to all workers, most of which have to be saved, but a small number of them want to buy something for themselves or their families.

    "Buy some cloth, it seems to be cheaper recently."

    The mutual market has attracted many Central Plains merchants. The goods of these merchants are gathered in Zhanghua County in Xizhou, which greatly enriches the lives of Zhanghua County people and reduces their living costs.

    Now the Western State is the richest state in the Northwest, and the following counties have been clearly arranged by the prefect. This plant grows rubber grass, raises snowflake cows, raises rex rabbits for leather goods, raises cows to make various dairy products, and uses dyed wool to make wool felts or flower blankets. Even Zhanghua County has become well-known in the country. The hometown of jade carvings.

    Now Zhang Hua can make candy, and it will be a lot of income in the future.

    However, the most popular thing for the people of Xizhou is the clear political environment of Xizhou.

    Western State's finances are almost transparent, and everything must be accounted for. An Yinong, the prefect of the state, set an example, and the people below dared not fool him.

    However, the officials did not have any complaints, because some of the state-owned workshops are used as official welfare, and they can receive thirteen months' wages a year, every holiday. Welfare allowance.

    What is a welfare subsidy? It is 'filial piety'.

    It's just that in other places, small officials send filial piety to their bosses. Here, in turn, their bosses send 'filial piety' to their subordinates.

    And their officials have this 'welfare subsidy', and those who work in government workshops also have a 'welfare subsidy', such as rice, noodles, meat and milk, and canned fruits.

    Every holiday, people in Xizhou envy those who are officials and those who enter the workshop.

      Then who is willing to carry their heads to do corruption and pervert the law?

    Not only are they not corrupt, but they have to work hard for more year-end bonuses.

    Bitter or not, look at Zhizhou writing a book and light candles at night, whether you are tired or not, think about Zhizhou still not sleeping in the third watch.

    "As the days go by, there is more hope." Tian San thought so, he no longer ventured into the Western Regions, and now he has opened a shop to sell jewelry made of desert gemstones.

    This is a special gemstone written by the prefect of Honshu himself in the book. It is not expensive and beautiful. It is said that it is very popular among the people in the Central Plains.

    "Third brother, long time no see."

    Huh? Tian San raised his head suspiciously, and saw a handsome young man wearing a simple brown-yellow Hu clothes. There was another person beside him, a black robe embroidered with dark patterns, a jade crown on his head, his eyes were sharp, and he did not dare to look directly.

    Good couple!

    But...

    "Who are you?" He couldn't remember who this person was.

    The person laughed: "Third brother, we met three years ago. In the original Xiaoyao Pavilion, I am Tian Xi."

    So many prompt words, Tian San can think of it, he patted his head: "It turns out to be my brother, I didn't expect my brother to shave his beard, so young. Where does he look like walking around the streets I'm a businessman who looks like a scholar. Who is this next to you?"

    "It's my wife."

    Tian San was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

    "The head of the house." As he was talking, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a woman with a child came out. She saw An Yinong and the two, "A visitor?"

    "Oh." Tian San woke up like a dream, "It was an old friend visiting, this is Tian Xi, this is... his brother."

    "It turned out to be two uncles. I have something to go out and I will be back in a while. The two uncles stay for dinner." The woman greeted with a smile, while putting the child in Tian San's arms, "I'll give the baby milk later, I'll go to work first."

    "Hey, let's go." Tian San waited for her to leave, then hugged the child and said embarrassedly, "The child's mother works in the sheep felt workshop in the county, she is very handy."

    An Yinong recognized her, it was the girl who was in Xiaoyao Pavilion that day, what was her name? Are these two still married? Look, there are children.

    He looked at the little red face of the child and thought it was cute. He reached out and took off a jade pendant: "A welcome gift for the child."

    Tian San saw the quality of this jade bamboo and knew it was a good thing: "It's too precious."

    "Hey, that's what it's like to be an uncle."

    However, Tian San accepted it and invited the two to have dinner together. The kindness was difficult, but An Yinong agreed.

    Tian San's wife Cuicui came back in the evening and bought a piece of mutton, a fish and other ingredients, and made a good meal of fish and sheep.

    "Where is my brother?" Tian San is curious about An Yinong's situation. He has been a businessman for so many years, and his vision is poisonous. This little brother is not simple. Brothers and sisters don't look like ordinary people, and they are expensive if they are not rich.

    An Yinong took a sip of sorghum wine: "In Jiahu." Know the state.

    "Jiahu? That's a good place. Our children's milk powder, milk flakes and cheese all come from there. The cows of Jiahu are now catching up with the snowflakes in Dingsha. Bull."

    An Yinong smiled and said nothing.

    "I never thought there would be such a good day before." Tian San said with emotion, "To tell the truth, I always thought that I would die in the Western Regions someday. So, how much is more useful? , too lazy to marry a wife and have children.”

    He talked about the changes in Zhanghua County over the years. The roads were built straight and spacious, trees were planted on both sides, and a lot of beautiful welfare houses were built. Yes, the streets are full of handsome young men and big girls.

    As long as you work hard, you can find a job, don't worry about making a living.

    Because many workshops recruit female workers, there are many female heads of households in the county, and it is common for them to be looked down upon.

    But the biggest change is the Shen family.

    "The Shen family is now prosperous in the mutual market, and the spices brought back from the Western Regions have been re-cultivated and made into more than a dozen different spice bags, which sell very well.

    "It is said that a new breed of horses appeared in the Malitou donated by their family to Zhizhou. It is better than the BMW of the Western Regions. It has become a tribute horse in the Western Region. The Shen family has also been rewarded for this."

    "I still want to thank our lord Zhizhou," Cuicui poured wine for the two of them, "They all say that adults can turn stones into gold, insignificant objects, and unknown animals can be raised by adults. Come to the Hall of Fame."

    To her, the governor of Xizhou is a great benefactor to all of them. It was thanks to him that these poor women could escape the fate that was ushered in and use their abilities to gain a foothold in this world.

    Full of wine and food, An Yinong and Gu Zhengzhong left Tian San's house and took a walk under the moonlight.

    The three-year term has expired, and Emperor Qi ordered him to return to Beijing to report his duties. The meaning there revealed was that he wanted him to be transferred to the southwest region as a prefect. I'm afraid that he is going to leave Xizhou, so An Yinong will come out for a walk, which can be regarded as a farewell.

    "It's not bad to go to the southwest to be an official." An Yinong was very happy. He didn't want to be a Beijing official in the capital, and he didn't know how to deal with people.

    "The place to go is like spring all year round, but there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants. I think it is good to develop the flower industry, flower essential oil, flower dew, rouge... Or raise snakes, snakes are full of treasures, Snake skin, snake oil, snake gall, or whole wine. Scorpions will work too.”

    "...In fact, it doesn't matter where you go, what matters is that you stay with me."

    The two of them hooked their hands together lightly, An Yinong looked up at the sky with a bright light: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight... Huh?"

    The moonlight is like a silver yarn, and the silver yarn is surrounded by two figures.

    A thousand years later.

    “The national treasure we are going to introduce today is the Wanli Splendid Picture.”

    A beautiful map appeared on the screen, blue is water, green is fields and forests, white is road, black is city, and other gold mines, iron mines, charcoal, etc. and other mineral notes.

    "The "Wanli Splendid Map" is the most complete territory map of the early Qi Kingdom discovered so far. If it is compared with the map detected by modern satellites, it almost coincides.

    " And it marked the mineral deposits, special products, environment, transportation, etc. of various places in Qiguo at that time, and there were small characters on the side. It is the best reference book for us to understand the powerful country a thousand years ago. "

    The Qi Dynasty is a dynasty that cannot be ignored in history. It emphasizes education and enlightenment of the people, attaches equal importance to agriculture and commerce, emphasizes the legal system to restrain land annexation, equal rights for men and women, open-mindedness, and inclusiveness.

    Now many foreigners call their country, the pronunciation is still 'kai'.

    Because of the development of maritime trade routes, trade and talent exchanges with more than 100 countries (poaching people, philosophers, scientists, geographers, painters, musicians...). Therefore, other countries also retain records of the "Qi Dynasty".

    In their records, from Qiguo to eighty old women, down to three-year-old children, everyone can read and understand etiquette. At that time, most cities in Qiguo had their own daily newspapers and universities, which attracted many foreign scholars.

    It is even more common for women to be businessmen and officials and heads of households in Qiguo. The liberation of women's power has also led to the development of national productivity, and female politicians, scientists, writers, and artists have emerged one after another.

    It is said that this system of Qiguo also inspired other countries.

    For commoners and women, it is paradise on earth, and for noble men, it is also paradise on earth.

    Because Qiguo has developed commerce and encourages technological innovation, there are all kinds of fun. Their expensive wine, sugar, spices, fine cotton and satin are all things that the common people can afford in Qiguo.

    Poets say that when you return to your home country, there will be a feeling of returning to the tribal era from the civilized world, so many people live in Qiguo and do not want to go back.

    Because Qichao is so famous, the host skipped the introduction of Qichao and directly talked about this picture: "And the owner of this picture is dubbed by our netizens as the No. 1 Poverty Alleviation Office in Ancient and Modern Times. The director, Tian Wenzheng Tian Yinong, was also one of the three ministers who participated in formulating a century-old national policy in the early days of Qiguo.

    "As for the original author of the picture, I now think it is Tian Yinong's teacher, Mr. Gu Zhengzhong."

    The audience at the scene and in front of the TV suddenly showed ambiguous smiles.

    The shock brought by the excavation of 'Tian Wenzheng's tomb' three years ago is still agitated now.

    Who would have thought that the rumored Tian Wenzheng, who was not close to women and dedicated his life to the people, actually had a sweetheart, and some letters written when they separated from the two places were still left in his tomb and exchange tokens, and even a portrait of 'Gu Zhengzhong' painted by Tian Wenzheng.

    Unfortunately, in that environment, it was not easy for men to fall in love, and it was still a teacher-student relationship.

    From the content of the letter that has been disclosed, there is no one else around the two of them, especially Tian Wenzheng. According to historical records, there is not even a servant girl around him, and everything is done by himself.

    On one side are the poor people and the vows when they were young (mentioned in the diary of Emperor Qiguo Gaozu), on the other side are lovers who love and stay with each other.

    Tian Wenzheng reluctantly chose Limin people and never married.

    And Tian Wenzheng's teacher, a man who only appeared in Tian Wenzheng's letters, for the ideal of his lover, he would rather endure the pain of lovesickness and refuse to appear in front of the world, but secretly did it for him behind his back many things.

    Wherever Tian Wenzheng became an official, he collected the information there and sent him a booklet. After that, he took great pains to produce the "Wanli Splendid Picture" for him, which seemed inconceivable with the technological conditions at that time.

    The audience sighed at the thought of this pair of lovers who went both ways, but couldn't be together because of the times.

    The host on stage knew what the audience was sighing, and 'Eternal Infatuation with Teachers and Students' is probably starting to swipe the screen, but he didn't say much about the details, just took out Tian Wenzheng's life profile to start Introduce this character. After all, the creative background and function of this picture are closely related to this character.

    Tian Xi, the word is farmer. His ancestral home was Huizhou, and he later moved to Pingjiang Prefecture. The famous statesman, writer, educator, novelist, painter and musician at the time of "Kai".

    Tian Yinong lost his father and mother at a young age, fled to Pingjiang Prefecture, cultivated Sanjinyu to make a living, and studied hard, and was awarded Dingsha County magistrate. Later, he served as governor of Xizhou, governor of Nanjin, and governor of Hui Province.

    During his tenure, he presided over the opening of the Northwest Mutual Market and Hepingjiang Trade Port, excavated more than 100 kinds of economic species for various places, introduced more than 10 kinds of foreign excellent crops, and actively promoted civilian education and women's employment. He is the author of more than ten novels such as "The Legend of Heroes in the Desert", "Journeys Between Flowers" and "Hundred Ghosts".

    Because of his actions of 'writing books for the people', the world respects him as 'the prime minister of the country'.

    In the sixties, he passed away and took office. Later, it was buried in the mausoleum of meritorious deeds, and the third-generation female emperor Wudi wrote the "backbone of the country" personally.
