At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 245 Meeting old friends
Watching Yu Yunxin's operation, Nangong Lin smiled, walked slowly to her, and asked softly: "You bought so many things, are they all for the people of the Volcanic Islands to use?"
Yu Yunxin looked up at him, her eyes gleaming with determination, and answered confidently, "Of course! Today, the island has a population of more than 200,000, with an abundant labor force. Especially the 100,000 young and middle-aged people, who are enough to cope with various work needs. Women can be responsible for cooking, sowing and breeding, etc. In this way, life on the island can gradually get on track and be included in the territory of Dacheng."
Hearing this, Nangong Lin couldn't help but nodded slightly, staring into Yu Yunxin's beautiful eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile, and said softly: "Very good, then do it according to your plan."
After the two of them left the space, they saw that the residents on the island were still kneeling down to worship them, and they felt a little amused.
Then Nangong Lin looked at everyone and said, "This Second God came here to tell you that you are all the people of Dacheng. Chief Yuan, are you willing to bring your people to submit to Dacheng?"
The Yuan clan was originally his simulated robot. He immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Excellencies, this clan leader is willing to lead his people to submit to Dacheng."
"Elder, I don't agree. You have been teaching us to restore our country since we were young." A big man stood up and objected.
"I don't want to see the lives of all the people in the world suffer, so I remind you. Yuan Chaoming, where do you think your people are?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"When we attacked Qizhou, we were plotted against by General Tian's men and 40,000 of our brothers died. The rest were captured by Prince Yu, who spared 60,000 lives. As long as we surrender to Dacheng, our brothers can come back. His Royal Highness Prince Yu promised me..." Yuan Chaoming looked at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I underestimated Dacheng's national strength. I came back this time to persuade them to surrender. Dacheng has 800,000 elite soldiers, which is more than our people. How do you think we can restore our country?" Yuan Chaoming replied.
"My king, I see that your kung fu is even more powerful than before. Even if you have 800,000 elite soldiers, you can just lead us to occupy Qizhou first." Another big man replied.
"It's a pipe dream. What can you get even if the country is restored?" The head of the Lei family looked at everyone and asked.
"The two gods are here to guide us to live a good life. Why should we think about restoring our country? You are members of the Lei family, so you should know why the Lei family came here with the Yuan family?" The head of the Lei family asked his people.
Several simulation robots were created to brainwash the islanders, and soon the islanders all agreed to surrender to Dacheng and were willing to let the volcanic islands belong to Dacheng. After no one stood up to oppose, Nangong Lin waved his hand and sent the Yuan family elders, the Lei family patriarch, and Yuan Chaoming's eight men into the space in front of everyone and said: "I will send them into the secret realm now. In an hour, they will teach you how to extract cement from volcanic lava and plant fresh fruit trees and crops."
Yu Yunxin also waved her hand, and suddenly all kinds of poultry, cattle, sheep, donkeys and other livestock appeared on the open space, as well as ordinary trailers, shovels, hoes, and a large pile of vegetables and saplings that filled the open space.
"Wow!" Everyone was surprised and screamed.
"These are bestowed upon you by me. When your leaders come out of the secret realm, they will teach you." Yu Yunxin looked at everyone with a smile.
I also planted some flowers, plants and trees suitable for this place on the open space. These are also medicinal flowers and plants. There are plenty of them in the colorful space anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I plant some here. After all, these flowers and plants add some new colors to this volcanic archipelago.
Soon the data in the space was input. They gave the eight elders of the Yuan family some information on building houses and taught the islanders how to reclaim land and cultivate the land, use volcanic resources to grow crops, make cement, and make glazed tiles and red bricks, etc. Their goal was to let the islanders live a good life on the island.
After settling the residents of the volcanic islands, Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin disappeared from everyone's sight with peace of mind.
Bring the real Yuan family elders and the Lei family head back to Qizhou.
"Who are you? Where is this place?" the two old men asked after waking up and looking at the unfamiliar environment.
"The Yuan family's government has been destroyed for a hundred years. Now my Nangong family has established the Dacheng Dynasty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. You two are sitting on the volcanic island and commanding 100,000 troops to attack my Lincheng with the intention of taking over Qizhou. Is this true?" Nangong Lin looked at the two and asked.
After hearing this, the two old men looked confused and looked at each other at a loss.
"Are you from the Nangong royal family?" The Yuan family elder finally couldn't help but ask.
"What is going on? Why are we here?" The Lei family's patriarch also came back to his senses and looked at Nangong Lin in disbelief, "How did you crack the mechanism on the island? And how did you bring me here?"
"Your mechanical skills are nothing but child's play in my eyes." Nangong Lin looked at the two of them with disdain.
“Hmph, my Lei family is a family of craftsmen after all, so don’t be so arrogant.” The head of the Lei family said angrily.
"Oh? Really? Then let me see your ability." Nangong Lin said, taking out a few items from his arms, one of which was a six-sided imitation and a few different Luban locks. He threw these things to the head of the Lei family and said, "If you can unlock these, I will believe that you have some ability. Otherwise, shut up."
The head of the Lei family saw this and his face changed, but he still took these things. He began to carefully observe these mechanical props, trying to find a way to crack them. However, these mechanical props were carefully designed, and it was not easy to crack them.
Nangong Lin looked at the head of the Lei family with a flash of contempt in his eyes. He knew that with the ability of the head of the Lei family, it was almost impossible to crack these mechanical props. However, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was still a lot of time, so he let them try slowly.
After a while, the Lei family master finally gave up the idea of unlocking these mechanical props. He sighed helplessly and said, "These mechanisms are too difficult. I can't crack them at all."
"Haha, you are indeed a waste." Nangong Lin laughed and said, "Now, you should know that your mechanical skills are just child's play, right?"
The head of the Lei family was so angry that his face turned red, but he had nothing to say. After all, he really couldn't crack these mechanical props.
At this time, Nangong Lin waved his hand and signaled his men, "Take them away. Remember, treat them well and don't neglect them."
Therefore, the elders of the Yuan family and the head of the Lei family were taken to a house in Qizhou City, and someone was assigned to take care of their daily lives. Although they temporarily lost their freedom, they were treated to good food and drink.
On this sunny day, Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin went to the city gate to welcome a group of special guests. These people were the officials who once supported Duke Li. They lost their official positions because of their support for Duke Li, but now they have new opportunities.
Nangong Lin suggested to Emperor Cheng that these dismissed officials be sent to Qizhou to take up positions in order to make full use of their talents and experience. Among them were some officials from the former Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Works, who had rich experience in their respective fields.
When the officials arrived at the city gate, they were surprised and grateful to see Prince Yu and Princess Yu coming to greet them in person. They dismounted and saluted to show their respect to Prince Yu and Princess Yu.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yu and His Royal Highness Princess Yu!" the ministers shouted in unison.
Nangong Lin smiled and waved his hand, "My dear ministers, please don't be polite. Please follow me into the city."
He turned to look at Yu Yunxin, held her hand and said softly, "Xin'er, these are my former men, except for Lord Li standing at the end."
Yu Yunxin smiled and nodded, her eyes fell on Li Sinong in the crowd, then she bowed to everyone and said sincerely: "Thank you all for taking the trouble to come here from afar. It's really hard work."
Li Sinong stood at the back, raised his hand slightly, and responded with a smile: "Princess Xingguo, you are too kind. I heard that you discovered high-yield crops in Qizhou, so I came here specially to find out."
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. They had never thought that the Princess of Prince Yu was actually the Princess of Xingguo. For a moment, everyone bowed respectfully and said in unison: "I didn't know that the Princess of Prince Yu was the Princess of Xingguo. I am really rude."
Yu Yunxin smiled slightly, waved her hand to signal everyone to stand up, and explained: "You don't have to be so polite. Now I am also the Princess of Yu. There is no need to mention the past."
After hearing this, everyone respected her even more. At this time, someone suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "We thank His Royal Highness Prince Yu for promoting us. We received the emperor's decree and never thought that His Royal Highness Prince Yu would be reused by the emperor again. We, the subordinates, will definitely assist His Royal Highness Prince Yu to the best of our ability."
Nangong Lin's eyes flashed with determination when he heard this, and he replied: "My Lords, I believe you have heard about the affairs of Qizhou. I know that some of you have been dismissed from your official positions. Now I can only help you to give you some ordinary positions in Qizhou. If you want to enter the court again, you must make achievements in Qizhou. We will discuss the details later."
When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement, indicating that they were willing to follow the arrangement. So, the group walked towards the government office in a mighty procession, and they were very curious when they passed by the glass workshop.
Nangong Lin looked at the ministers following closely behind him, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. He first led four former sixth-rank officials from the Ministry of Industry's Manufacturing Department into the colored glaze workshop.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, what are the things in these furnaces?" An official who entered the furnace room first looked around and asked curiously.
"That's a kiln for burning lime." Nangong Lin replied.
"Oh, so that's how it is." The official nodded in sudden enlightenment.
"What about those over there?" asked another official, pointing to several small houses not far away.
"That's where glazed tiles are fired," Nangong Lin explained.
"I see." The official nodded.
Then, Nangong Lin took them to see some other building material manufacturing workshops and introduced their uses and characteristics in detail. Finally, they came to a larger workshop.
"This is where colored glaze is produced." Nangong Lin said.
"Oh, I finally see the manufacturing process of colored glaze." An official said excitedly.
After entering the workshop, they saw many workers busy at work, some were mixing raw materials, some were firing colored glaze, and others were grinding and polishing.
"These colored tiles look so beautiful!" exclaimed an official.
"Yes, colored glaze is a very precious item," another official agreed.
"Where do you sell the colored glaze here?" an official asked curiously.
"Our colored glass is mainly sold to the capital and other big cities." Nangong Lin replied.
"Oh, I see." The official nodded.
An official from the Ministry of Industry looked at a large chimney and asked, "What is that large chimney?"
"This is a brick kiln. It can quickly produce a large number of bricks." Nangong Lin replied.
"What about this?" another official asked, pointing to piles of gray slate dust.
"This is cement board. It is very strong and used to build houses and roads." Nangong Lin introduced.
Everyone nodded, expressing their appreciation for these new things. Finally, they came to a railway and saw a train full of cement speeding along the track.
"What is this? Faster than a horse-drawn carriage?" an official asked in surprise.
"This is a steam train that can transport large amounts of cargo and people," Nangong Lin introduced proudly.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, watching the train with curling white smoke going away, and their hearts were filled with shock. They realized that these new things would not only bring earth-shaking changes to Qizhou, but also to the entire Dacheng in the future. It seemed that they had come to the right place in Qizhou. In less than two years, as long as they worked hard in Qizhou, they would achieve amazing political achievements.
Li Sinong couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately asked Yu Yunxin to lead some officials from the Ministry of Revenue to the farmland outside the city where potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted. When they arrived at the farmland, they saw the seedlings that had just been planted, and they were full of expectations.
Li Sinong pointed at the seedlings curiously and asked, "Are these the so-called high-yield crops? Where do their fruits grow?"
Yu Yunxin replied with a smile: "Yes, the fruits of these crops will grow in the soil. And here in Qizhou, two seasons can be planted a year with an annual yield of about 2,000 kilograms per mu." This is still the most conservative estimate.
Hearing this, the officials nearby all showed surprised expressions. One of them said in disbelief: "Two seasons! How is it possible to have two thousand kilograms? How does it taste with such a high yield?"
Yu Yunxin smiled and understood their doubts, but she said confidently: "If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the Xiake Island and the Volcanic Islands. The crops near the crater there can even produce three seasons of fruit, and other fruits and vegetables have a short growth cycle and mature quickly, resulting in higher yields. The prince has set up a welcoming banquet for you tonight, and this princess will let you taste potatoes and sweet potatoes, and after processing, they can be made into different snacks."
Li Sinong's eyes lit up after hearing this. He was the first to step forward and go to check it out himself and asked, "My lord, are you telling the truth? If possible, please don't forget to bring me along."
