"Father, you must have received Rong City's invitation letter.”
In the study, the father and son sat opposite each other. Xiong Kewu's position in Western Sichuan Province was the emperor. Nominally, Xiong Kewu was the governor of Western Sichuan Province and was in charge of the military and political power of Western Sichuan Province.
Li Guangbei had been busy with all kinds of matters in Guangyi recently. He had made all kinds of personnel arrangements, economic development plans, and the continuous construction of the transportation, education, and health industries. He also had no idea where his son had come up with the idea, especially the four-year free primary education, which forced all children of the right age to attend school. However, this policy had not been implemented well. Many villagers were unwilling to believe that such a good thing could happen in the world. Moreover, a child staying at home... Why would he go to school if he could help out with work?
Under the dim candlelight, Li Guangbei nodded with a serious expression. Rong City was still a threat. As the county magistrate of Rong City, Li Guangbei was also on the invitation list.
If he didn't go this time, it would be obvious that he wasn't giving Xiong Kewu face.
If he went, what if it was a trap?
"Yes, we have to go, and we have to prepare enough gifts.”
"Father, don't forget that Wang Lei has been writing letters to Rong City these days. The people of Rong City won't suspect us so quickly.”
"Moreover, Xiong Kewu's daughter is getting married. There are so many people, and not many people will notice us.”
Damn it, Guangyi County still had no electricity. It was too uncomfortable. The only generator still had to be supplied to the regiment headquarters. They had to get the power plant ready as soon as possible. Otherwise, this state of no electricity would drag down their development.
"Then go. I'll make arrangements for the county town later.”
Late at night, Li Yao entered the system space of the civilization war machine again. He needed to exchange some industrial blueprints.
...........................................
The civilization war machine was still at the township level. The next stage of advancement would be the county level.
"Radio Communication Blueprint, exchange for 100 points!”
"Mauser 98K rifle design blueprint, exchange for 100 points!!”
"Penicilin extraction blueprint, exchange for 1000 points!!”
"Steel blast furnace design blueprint, exchange for 100 points!!”
"Power Plant Design Blueprint, exchange for 100 points!!”
"Steam Train Design Blueprint, exchange for 100 points!!”
" The big gift bag of chemical industry design blueprints, which includes 50 large and small design blueprints, involving soap, perfume, rubber, oil, and other chemical refinements. It can be exchanged for 500 points!”
……………
Blueprints with higher technological content were worth more, especially the exchange points for penicillin, which had reached a terrifying 1000 points. After all, it was a product that far surpassed this era. It could be said to be a medical miracle that transcended the era. If it was produced, Li Yao did not know how much profit it could earn.
"Fortunately, we conquered Guangyi County and gained a lot of points. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to exchange for many things.”
The point system of the civilization competition machine was based on the development of the population, army, territory, and the technology, culture, and popular sentiment of the areas under Li Yao's control. As long as they continued to expand, the points would increase.
The Civilization War Machine was not just for exchanging points for blueprints. If possible, it could also be exchanged for items directly. For example, a portion of penicillin medicine could be exchanged for finished products directly. The market price was 10,000 points, and a Mauser 98K was 1,000 points. To put it simply, if it was not a life-saving item or something that could affect the war, it would only be exchanged. At other times, the Civilization War Machine still encouraged Li Yao to establish his own industrial system.
In the end, Li Yao still managed to produce the blueprints for the energy and transportation industries that he needed the most in the next few years, such as the steel industry, power generation industry, chemical industry, and so on.
Li Yao gritted his teeth and waved his hand. He spent almost 1,000 points. The military technology was still enough for the time being. When the county-level authority was released, there would probably be another wave of gift bags.
"System, what are the authority requirements for a county?”
"A population of 500,000, a complete infantry division, a four-year education system, and the most important thing is to complete the construction of the steel factory. Steel is the foundation of the host's future development!!”
There was not much time left. Cao Ming would definitely be able to recruit a lot of talents when he went to the coastal area. By then, Guangyi's industrial plan would be accelerated.
The steel factory would definitely be completed in the first half of next year.
Not long after, it was already a bit cold in the southwest in November, especially in the middle of the night. A thin layer of silver frost could even be seen on the floor. He was going to Rong City tomorrow with his father and his own platoon of guards. As the capital of the Western Sichuan Province and the most important city in the southwest of the Great Qian Dynasty, Rong City had a population of more than a million and developed industries. Li Yao was also greedy.
Three years. In three years, he should be able to lead his army north and become the new Southwest King.
.....................................................
However, at this moment, he heard the sound of the zither again. Li Xinyao's courtyard was not far from him, but because there were two roads, he usually could not reach here.
"Let's go take a look."
This time, the music seemed to be lighter.
It seemed that she had learned the song that she had taught her last time.
Li Yao raised the corner of his mouth. There probably weren't many people who could get so close to Li Xinyao…
"The door isn't closed. Come in."
Compared to the last time, Li Xinyao's tone was much gentler. Inside the house, the weak light was still on. Li Xinyao, who was sitting in front of the piano, did not raise her head to look at Li Yao. In this house, only Li Yao would come recently.
"Sister, did you wait for me on purpose?”
Li Yao also gave a smirk, but Li Xinyao ignored him and continued to play her violin.
"Sister, Father and I are going to Rong City tomorrow. Be careful at home, but don't worry. I've already arranged for people to guard the Li residence 24/7.”
At this moment, when Li Yao thought of going to Rong City tomorrow, he was also worried. If Xiong Kewu really deployed thousands of troops, he and his father would probably not be able to come back alive. No matter how tightly the news of Guangyi was sealed, it was still unknown if there were still some fish that escaped the net.
"Sister, sleep early. Staying up late is not good for your skin, especially for beautiful women. When I come back, I'll teach you a four-handed song.”
Li Yao stood up and prepared to go back. Just as he stepped out of the room, Li Xinyao, who had always been cold, suddenly spoke.
" Be careful on the road…"
That was all…
Li Xinyao didn't know why she said that. Perhaps it was because recently, this younger brother she didn't like had come over time and time again to talk to her to relieve her boredom. Or perhaps it was the song from last time that had made Li Xinyao's originally frozen heart slowly melt.
She wasn't alone. She had family.
She had accidentally overheard a servant girl in the manor say that Li Yao was the most powerful young man in Guangyi City right now, and that he was not even comparable to his father…
She was now very curious about Li Yao.
He began to look forward to seeing Li Yao's figure outside the door.
Or, he could teach her a new song.
Four hands playing together, one song, could you still play with four hands?？
