Chapter 113 Iron Hull Ship

(Tip to add more.)

As soon as Xia Qingqing opened her mouth, the atmosphere of the heated discussion came to an abrupt end; looking at Xia Qingqing's pink face, everyone was a little embarrassed for a moment!

I was so busy discussing and thinking about how to show off my strengths that I forgot that there was a princess beside me!

But these days, because Xia Qingqing has performed so well, everyone has unconsciously forgotten that this is still the princess of the Great Xia Kingdom!

Finally, Xu Ren smiled, "Ahem, ma'am, we are not dividing up the Great Xia Kingdom, but maintaining the Great Xia Kingdom.

You see, Zhongshan County and Luliang County have been governed in a mess. We ordered the governors of the two counties to go to Beijing to face the saints, but they turned a deaf ear to them.

Your Majesty has bestowed upon you the post of the Eastern Governor of the Great Xia Kingdom, and we must bear His Majesty's trust! "

During Xu Ren's speech, the word "madame" was emphasized—although you are a princess, the one who can really make the decision here is Li Xian!

Xia Qingqing looked at Xu Ren, then turned to look at the crowd, and suddenly turned and left.

At this moment, Xia Qingqing's mood was complicated. The Great Xia Kingdom is over, everyone understands it, and I understand it too; it's just that as a princess, it's really hard to accept—even if I understand it very well in my heart.

What's even more absurd is that she, the princess, is actually discussing with a group of people how to carve up the Great Xia Kingdom! ! !

Although Xu Ren said it nicely, but it was only nice!

After seeing the excited and expectant expressions in everyone's eyes, Xia Qingqing suddenly understood that the Great Xia Kingdom was really over. In the hearts of these people, they didn't even have the most basic respect for the Great Xia Kingdom! The Great Xia Kingdom mentioned in their words is nothing more than pulling a tiger skin as a banner.

All the way back to the room, Xia Qingqing sat in front of the dressing table, silent.

A little maid behind Xia Qingqing pinched Xia Qingqing's shoulder carefully, not daring to speak.

Xia Qingqing looked at the little maid from the mirror, "Xiao Tao, can you tell me about the Great Xia Kingdom in your heart?"

Xia Qingqing had a kind of expectation in her heart, this Xiaotao was a maid brought from the palace.

But the reality is always cruel, Xiaotao bit her lip, "Madam, I don't like Daxia. My father was a soldier of Daxia, but after he died in the battle, the family only got one tael of silver. My mother was tired by life, He only practiced to the third level of the Qi training period, and finally became sick from exhaustion, and he had no money to treat the disease.

For this reason, I can only sell myself into the palace in exchange for my mother's medical expenses. "

Xia Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and instead of getting the expected answer, she got a suffocating story. A soldier who died in battle can only be compensated with one tael of silver? !

Is it anger? Still disappointed? Or is it ashamed? Xia Qingqing couldn't distinguish her mood. After a long silence, Xia Qingqing waved her hand wordlessly, "Go out and play, I'll be alone."

Xiaotao puffed up her cheeks, as if she mustered up her courage, "Ma'am, I...I want to go home and see my mother..."

Xia Qingqing opened the drawer and took out 50 taels of gold from it, "Xiao Tao, you take this. Apologize to your mother on my behalf. I, Da Xia, are sorry for her."

"Princess..." Xiaotao finally changed her address.

"Go ahead. Also tell Mr. Xu, please ask Mr. Xu to arrange some people to protect you. It's not safe for you, a little girl, to go on the road alone."

Perhaps it was Xia Qingqing's easy-going that made Xiao Tao let go of the list, Xiao Tao said carefully, "Princess, there is a saying that Xiao Tao wants... thinks..."

"Say it."

"Princess, actually...actually...the Great Xia Kingdom is...unable to return to heaven; the emperor and empress are no different from birds in a cage. How about not being the emperor and empress and come to Anyang to enjoy the blessings?"

Xia Qingqing waved her hand and let Xiaotao go out, but she sat there for a long time, "Even a little girl knows that Daxia Kingdom is hopeless. That's right, since Daxia Kingdom is powerless, why don't you take your parents out and leave that cage What about Wuyang City!"

But the hall was a bit dull, Xia Qingqing left suddenly, and everyone found out embarrassingly - so happy, carried away with complacency! It wasn't until Xiaotao came over and asked Xu Ren to go home and seek protection that everyone knew that Xiaotao could still do ideological work!

"Xiaotao is good." Xu Ren praised Xiaotao fiercely once, and then ordered Zhang Hongtao to lead a team of 20 people to escort Xiaotao home. Xiaotao's home is in Wuyang County, and the road is still far away.

After Xiaotao left, Xu Rencai laughed, "Little girl helped us a lot."

Yan Ze'an also laughed, "This little girl really dares to speak. Mr. Xu, let's invite the princess out together. The young master is not here, so we can only trouble the lady."

This time, Xia Qingqing didn't get emotional anymore, because she had already figured it out: Great Xia Kingdom now exists in name only if it sounds good, and it's over if it's straightforward—it's not a complete empire anymore, and it doesn't follow orders. To a fragmented corpse! It's just that there is still one last breath that has not been swallowed, that's all!

Under the witness of Xia Qingqing, everyone quickly determined the strategy. Then, Xu Ren suggested that everyone go to see the first iron-hulled boat that is about to be launched for testing.

On the way, Xia Qingqing took the opportunity to ask Xu Ren, "Sir, isn't my husband's fate of 'Taichang Yinguang Xingjun', but the current Anyang seems to be..."

Xu Ren smiled slightly, "If fate is fixed, there will be no cultivation in the world. Besides, the young master's ideal is a business kingdom, not an ordinary empire. As for what a business kingdom is, we don't know yet; but business A kingdom is definitely different from an ordinary empire.

But no matter what, one thing is certain, the young master also needs a stable foundation. And Anyang is too small, not enough! "

Xia Qingqing stopped talking, and a group of people swayed to the beach in a carriage.

The seaside and the pier where the sea people trade with the sea people have been expanded and expanded, and a magnificent building complex covering an area of ​​ten acres has appeared in the rear. Compared with other architectural models of the Brilliant Star Group, the buildings here are extraordinarily rough and grand, and everything seems to be magnified several times.

And behind this building complex, there is a tail - that is the rails! In order to transport materials from Qingyun Valley faster and better, the first railway track, double track, was laid here.

At this moment, simple locomotives shuttle slowly on the railroad tracks. The locomotives are not very fast, but they transport a lot of goods; there are soldiers patrolling around the railroad tracks, and anyone who is irrelevant will be expelled; if you don’t listen to the warning, you will be arrested Live for interrogation.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Ren suddenly felt something: "Technology is responsible for climbing, and industry is responsible for production. This is the power of industry, and it does have many unique features."

After Xu Ren and his party entered the factory, they were immediately attracted by a huge monster with particularly obvious edges and corners! That is - iron-hulled boat! An iron-hulled boat painted in white! This is Li Xian's most important plan. Because of this iron-hulled ship plan, the development of Anyang has been affected.

Almost all the reinforced concrete buildings are invested here; half of the steel production is also invested here.
