Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 70 Returning Home
At this moment, Wen Yu was still speeding as fast as he could.
Yang Shiyuan sat firmly on the horseback. He drove the horse forward quickly and came to Wen Yu who was leading the way in front. He asked, "How far are we from Lin'an County?"
"We are very close." Wen Yu responded: "According to the current speed, we are expected to reach our destination around noon tomorrow."
"Okay! Let's continue on our journey." Yang Shiyuan turned to face the guards who had escorted them all the way and shouted, "You all have worked hard on this journey. Please stay motivated. When we return to the capital, there will be generous rewards waiting for you."
As soon as the voice fell, the guards around who heard this immediately became energetic and quickened their pace.
Wen Yu looked at the scholar who was more eager than himself. Although he was puzzled by his approach, he was grateful for his protection. Therefore, he waved the whip in his hand and whipped the horse hard, further increasing the speed. Wen Yu skillfully integrated into the guard team, without showing the weakness common among scholars, and his riding speed was not inferior at all.
Under the temptation of money, they arrived near Lin'an County at nightfall. The escort who was very familiar with the road played an indispensable role. He was a member of the transport team of the Treasure Pavilion. He frequently traveled between Shangjing and Lin'an and had memorized the road by heart. It was thanks to him that they took a shortcut and reached their destination so quickly.
The guards led them to stop in front of an ancient city wall, pointed respectfully at the city ahead, and reported: "Master Wen, Master Li, we have arrived at Lin'an County." Wen Yu nodded slightly, staring at the familiar city wall, and his mind instantly flooded with countless memories of seeing it. After a few months of separation, he revisited the old place, but he felt a sense of change.
The guards were dressed in armor, and at first glance they looked like guards for dignitaries, but also had a bit of a military temperament. Seeing this, the guards guarding the city did not dare to stop them and let them pass. Wen Yu nodded to them and drove his horse slowly into the city.
A group of dozens of soldiers wearing armor and riding tall horses marched forward in a mighty procession. Their horses were tall and mighty, with hair as shiny as silk, and each horse was so majestic. People passing by could tell at a glance that these people were soldiers, so the people gave way and carefully hid on both sides of the road. In this way, the soldiers could walk on the street unimpeded.
Wen Yu sat upright on his horse, casually looking at the shops and people on the roadside. Suddenly, he saw a few familiar faces, who were looking at the team with eyes full of awe and fear. However, when their eyes fell on Wen Yu himself, their expressions instantly turned into surprise and joy.
"It's the number one scholar! The number one scholar is back!" someone shouted loudly.
"The top scholar from Qingyun Academy is back!" another voice sounded immediately afterwards.
"Oh my, no wonder he is so handsome and elegant, it turns out to be Master Wen!" another person exclaimed.
"Master Wen is back! Master Wen is back! Go and inform the dean of the academy!" The news spread throughout the street like a gust of wind.
For a moment, the whole street was boiling, people cheered and laughed. Everyone was excited about Wen Yu's return, as if his return brought new topics and vitality to the whole town.
Seeing this, Yang Shiyuan smiled and joked, "I didn't expect Brother Wen to be so famous."
Wen Yu didn't know how to answer, so he just remained silent.
What greeted him was an even warmer reception from the academy, especially the teachers who taught him. They were so excited to see him back that they burst into tears. Everyone held him tightly and praised him highly. Wen Yu felt like the monkey that Jing Yao had described, being watched and admired by others. He felt helpless but secretly glad that he could be the pride of the teachers.
Wen Yu was able to escape in the afternoon of the next day. He led his men and horses to gallop forward quickly, and after leaving the county, he rushed towards the direction of the Wen family.
Wen Yu took the lead and walked at the front of the team, leading everyone to move forward quickly. Their figures passed by like a gust of wind, startling countless flying birds.
At the same time, the village is also busy. The newly planned factories in Jingyao have been completed, including a fertilizer plant, a paper mill and a cement plant. The completion of these factories will bring huge development opportunities to the village and make people full of expectations for the future.
The macronutrients necessary for crop growth include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and other substances. In the doomsday era, resources are extremely scarce, and food has become one of the most scarce resources. In order to solve the food problem and increase crop yields, Jing Yao, who has wood-related abilities, actively devoted himself to the production and improvement of fertilizers. He not only watched a large number of relevant video tutorials, but also personally participated in practice and accumulated rich experience.
There are many types of fertilizers, some of which are very widely available and affordable. For example, waste residue from paper mills can also be used to make fertilizers. In addition, relatively low-priced fertilizers such as lime are also good choices, and their cost is not high.
Looking back at history, the papermaking technology in ancient times was not yet developed, which led to the high prices of stationery such as pens, inkstones, and paper. At that time, the value of a few sheets of paper was almost equivalent to a pound of pork! Especially for items such as household paper, if they can be popularized and become a must-have for every family, even if they are sold at a low price, the profit will be considerable. At the same time, this is also expected to change people's lifestyles and bring greater convenience.
The cement factory is even more important. With the first batch of cement produced in the early stage, it not only successfully built the tourist town, but also successfully completed the road paving work. Nowadays, cement has become a rare commodity in the eyes of everyone, and everyone is eager to live in a house built with cement. The brick kiln factory, which was once bustling, is now deserted.
One of the original intentions of building a paper mill was to make full use of the waste residue produced by the paper mill. Therefore, building a fertilizer plant next to the paper mill is undoubtedly the best choice, so that the "supply" can be easily obtained. Now, with the three factories rising from the ground, the demand for human resources is naturally increasing day by day. The scope of recruitment cannot be limited to the village alone, and surrounding villages also need to be taken into account. Therefore, a large-scale job fair was held to recruit a large number of employees.
The workers were all delighted to have jobs, and the farmers who failed to get the jobs were even more delighted when they learned the price Jing Yao had set for the fertilizer.
How could they not be happy? This year they were able to use fertilizers, which would greatly increase food production and put food on the table for everyone.
After some intensive and orderly construction and preparation work, the factory was finally built! Jing Yao went to inspect it in person and found that everything was perfectly presented as he required. The raw material workshop, the firing workshop and the finished product workshop were well laid out and fully equipped, without any mistakes or omissions. This means that the coal mine in Xishan can speed up the mining process!
At the same time, the tourist city is about to open. The small shopping street mainly sells various daily necessities, and the stalls have been carefully arranged by the government. Only one penny is required per day, and such low prices attract many ordinary people to come and shop. In contrast, the big shopping street mainly sells more expensive items, such as gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets and other jewelry, as well as gorgeous clothes and exquisite carriages. Of course, the stall fees for these high-end goods are naturally much higher.
Wen Yu led such a team into the village and quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"Father! Mother! My son is back!" Wen Yu jumped off his horse nimbly and walked quickly towards his parents to salute.
Mother Wen hurried forward to help her son up, her eyes full of pity: "Yu'er, you must have suffered a lot from traveling all the way."
"Good, good, good, you're finally back safely." Father Wen's face was also full of joy and relief.
"Wen Yu, I heard that you got the top score in the imperial examination. That's amazing!"
"Yuer, is this true?"
Although they had already known the good news, the villagers still felt like they were in a dream and were eager to hear Wen Yu personally confirm it.
"That's true." Wen Yu replied with a smile.
"Wow, it's not easy to get the top spot, right?"
“The top scholar is back home!”
Upon hearing this, the villagers were immediately excited and their excitement was beyond words. They rushed to tell each other and spread the good news throughout the village.
Wen's father was busy telling the villagers that the Wen family would host a banquet for guests, which would last for three consecutive days, and invited everyone to celebrate together.
"Brother, you're back just in time. Come and see my tourist city. How is it? Isn't it nice?" Jing Yao asked with anticipation as he looked at his brother-in-law who was full of energy and smile.
Wen Yu nodded slightly to show his approval: "It's really good, Ayao, you are smart and can come up with so many good ideas."
Hearing the compliments from his brother-in-law, Jing Yao couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Hehe, of course! I'm just thinking of using your fame to promote it. What do you think?"
Then, Jing Yao told Wen Yu in detail about the series of plans he had carefully planned. Wen Yu nodded as he listened, and was obviously very satisfied with these plans.
"These are all mid-term plans. They will be officially implemented after the trial operation is over." Jing Yao explained. After all, if you want the tourist city to really grow and develop, you must first open it and make it well-known in the surrounding areas. Only in this way can you attract more tourists from afar. Otherwise, if even the locals know little about this tourist city, how can guests from afar be willing to come all the way? Once it arouses suspicion from others, it will be difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Wen Yu suddenly revealed a sly smile and said, "Ah Yao, I have an idea."
When Jing Yao saw his brother-in-law's expression, he immediately understood that someone was going to be in trouble again! Yang Shiyuan, who was visiting the tourist city with great interest and praising the many attractions in the city, had no idea that he had become the poor man who was about to be "imprisoned"...
"What! You want me to write promotional articles for the tourist city to attract outsiders to visit?" Yang Shiyuan was shocked and wondered if he had heard it wrong. How could there be such a ridiculous request in the world?
"Yes, brother said, you are the third place in the imperial examination! When it comes to writing skills, you are not inferior to him at all. It's just that you are a little unlucky, so you missed the first place. The reason why I founded this tourist city is to improve the income level of local people so that everyone can live a rich and happy life. If no one patronizes us, wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain? Then the people will starve!" Jing Yao said in an exaggerated tone.
Hearing this, Yang Shiyuan's originally firm heart began to waver: "But...but I have never written such a thing."
"It's okay, it's okay. I have already prepared the outline for you. You just need to write it down." Jing Yao hurriedly comforted.
Jing Yao pushed the paper in front of Yang Shiyuan again and said, "I will write you a detailed outline of the tourism city plan later. What you need to do is to write a ten-part welcome brochure for the tourism city according to the plan I give you. You must introduce the cultural features and facilities of Lin'an in all aspects! At the same time, you must also thoroughly implement the plan of launching the tourism city project and providing more money-making opportunities for local people."
After hearing Jing Yao's words, Yang Shiyuan showed an embarrassed expression and said, "...Ten articles! Isn't this a bit too many?"
Jing Yao looked at Yang Shiyuan with innocent eyes, and then responded: "A lot? I haven't read any books, so I don't know much about these. But I heard from my elder brother that this kind of thing is easy to write. Don't be afraid. I will also set a scope for you. When the time comes, you just need to extend it according to the content I give you."
After hearing this, Yang Shiyuan felt unhappy, thinking that the other party was looking down on him. He was a top scholar, although he was not as dazzling as the top scholar, but he was also a talent selected through layers of imperial examinations. Could it be that he needed a country bumpkin to guide him on just two articles? This was simply an insult to him!
So, Yang Shiyuan waved his hand and said in a firm tone: "No need! I can write a good article by myself, so you don't need to worry about it. When the article is finished, you can just take a look." After saying that, he had a proud look on his face, as if he was full of confidence in his talent.
Jing Yao saw that Yang Shiyuan had fallen into the trap, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. This was exactly what he wanted, as he didn't need to work too hard, and he could achieve his goal smoothly. It was really wonderful.
After sending the people away, Jing Yao returned to the table in a happy mood. He picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. He chewed it gently and savored it with a sip of fragrant tea. He suddenly felt that life was so leisurely and comfortable, which made him feel satisfied.
