In 1691, the entire southwest was very quiet. Rong City, Guangyi City, and Kunyun City seemed to have reached a certain balance. Everyone knew that Guangyi City was the weakest, but no one dared to attack rashly. This was because no one could guarantee how difficult it would be to deal with Guangyi.
Therefore, the three parties were safe and sound in the southwest. This was naturally the result that Li Yao wanted to see the most. In 1691, Guangyi's development could be said to be explosive. The No. 1 steel factory located in Panhua District was officially put into production, the No. 1 artillery factory located in Panhua District was officially put into production, and the medium-sized cement production factory was also officially put into production at the end of November. The No. 1 scientific research center in the south of Guangyi consumed nearly 50 million Qian Yuan. He also gathered about 120 scientific research experts from the West Yuan Continent and Sam's Alliance. After spending a month, he successfully developed the first generation of soap. It would not take too long before it reached the mass production stage.

In terms of education, Li Yao personally took the lead. The four-year education system was enforced. If a family had children of the right age and did not allow their children to go to school, a special teacher would come to persuade them at first. If they continued to refuse, the army would come down and enforce it. Li Yao did not dare to relax in the slightest. Education was the foundation of a country. Fortunately, with the subsidy of Guangyi's tax, the implementation of education was relatively easy. He also carried out his teaching tasks in an orderly manner.
Compared to the peace in the southwest, the Qian Capital was indeed very lively. This year alone, the Qian Capital had changed several chiefs. Duan Zhichuan, Xu Zhishan, and the others had put on many big shows…
However, Da Qian still declared war on the Hance Empire and sent a large number of laborers to serve as coolies for the defense. However, in 1691, the Hance Empire's decadent attitude was revealed without a doubt. It was obvious that the war in Xi Yuan Continent was coming to an end.
Especially after the Hance Empire launched the submarine attack on the John Bull cargo ship, because many ships of the Sam Alliance were sunk in the middle, the Sam Alliance joined the battlefield. With their huge supply capacity, the two empires, Gaul Chicken and John Bull, led by the Second Alliance, seemed to have received a nurse to heal them. When the Hance Empire's army was eating bread, the allied forces of the Second Alliance were eating the beef and canned food provided by the Sam Alliance. The outcome of this war had long been meaningless…
The Hance Empire had gathered all its resources and supplied the soldiers on the frontlines with the entire nation's strength. However, the interior of the Hance Empire had long fallen apart. No one would have thought that the collapse of the Hance Empire had started from the inside...
At this moment, Guangyi was seizing the opportunity to develop wildly. Compared to the beginning of the year, the carriages on the road were even more endless. The original city walls of the entire county were also broken, and a large number of houses were built on the outer layer.
In the Guangyi Center Building, Li Yao gathered the original army, the office of the county, and the headquarters of the Guangyi Chamber of Commerce. It was a simple three-story building, simple and concise.
"The speed of development in the second half of the year has finally slowed down. Uncle Shen, how is it? Are you used to being the president of the business association?？”
Currently, for the sake of management efficiency, Guangyi had set up the military council, political council, business council, technology council and many other departments. As the richest man in Western Sichuan, Shen Wan was naturally the president of the business council and it was best for him to be the president.
" Although I'm busier than before, I'm willing to be busier since I can see Guangyi's current development trend. Back then, your father and I wanted to save the country and the people, but we didn't succeed. Now, we can finally see the shadow of success in you…"
"Ever since we started the soap project, the soap we sold to Sam's Alliance last month was out of stock. Even Song Jiang, Qianjing, and Yangcheng in the country didn't have any stock…The soap factory still needs to expand its production capacity. This thing is really worth more than gold now. A piece of soap can be sold for dozens of Qian Yuan…The cost is only so little…The person who invented soap is really a genius!!!”
To put it bluntly, the production of soap was a simple chemical reaction. As long as there were raw materials and a little special essence, it could be mass produced. Li Yao also believed that with the scientific research level of the Sam Alliance, it would not be difficult to produce it. However, during this period of time, the soap produced by Guangyi had already become famous. Moreover, the black-bellied Li Yao would definitely use some tricks.
Pure soap had been produced in the West, but it didn't feel good to the touch. Moreover, it damaged the fabric of clothes and was especially serious. However, the soap produced by Guangyi could be used to wash clothes and body. Those Western women had thick pores. If they felt their skin become smooth after washing, those women, especially rich women, would go crazy.。
The research center was a magical place in Shen Wan's heart…
" The sales of soap alone reached 100 million Qian Yuan in November…"
Although Shen Wan was the richest man in Western Sichuan, but 100 million Qian Yuan, even if all the Shen family's property was taken, it was not so much…
This was too crazy. Wealth was really just a number to Li Yao right now.。
And now, with the help of the Research Center and the Guangyi Chamber of Commerce, the military supplies that were being sold to the Xi Yuan Continent were also a considerable source of income. However, they were not as profitable as the soap.。
Without such a lucrative income, Guangyi's factories, army, infrastructure, and administrative staff would not be able to sustain themselves.。
Although Li Yao was earning a lot, his daily expenses were also astronomical. Even the research facilities in the research center and the salaries of the researchers were astronomical…
Of course, Li Yao did not spend as much as he seemed to. For example, he spent a lot on the development of new weapons, some secret medical projects, and chemical projects…All of these would be slowly revealed in the next few years.
"Young Master Li, your arrangement this afternoon is to go to the research center. There's a new research project that requires you to be there personally!!”
Xiong Xueling, who had been by Li Yao's side for almost a year, had learned a lot in the past year. The relationship between her and Li Yao was like a thin layer of window paper that could be broken with just a slight touch…
"Alright, Xue Ling, come with me in the afternoon. I still need you to participate in this project.。”
With a curious gaze, Xiong Xueling nodded her head obediently. Whatever he said was right. Moreover, she did not seem to have any reason to reject him.
"I'll listen to you…"
A small voice. Xiong Xueling lowered her head and her ears had unknowingly turned red. Shen Wan who was at the side also laughed out loud. If Xue Ling this lass could really follow Li Yao, that would be her fortune but what about her own daughter…
