Chapter 467 Newborn

Xia Qingqing shook her hair, her short hair was bouncing lively; but Xia Qingqing pouted a little, "It's so ugly..."

Li Xian stroked his flat head, and laughed: "How can it be ugly, just get used to it. Come on, dear, beautiful princess, let me tidy it up for you."

Xia Qingqing acted like a baby, but Li Xian carefully arranged Xia Qingqing's hair. Soon, a beautiful hairstyle appeared, slightly wavy, very ordinary and modern.

"Huh?" Xia Qingqing looked around in amazement, looking at herself in the mirror, she looked a bit heroic.

"Put on our most popular business clothes now. But it needs to be modified to look more dignified." The maid around... should be the secretary, and invited Wei Fengxia, the person in charge of the "Tianyi Group".

Wei Fengxia, one of the first batch of graduates who started her own business. This charming girl who was not yet twenty years old came in bouncingly, and started to make sketches according to Li Xian's request.

After finishing her work, Wei Fengxia suddenly tilted her head to look at Xia Qingqing, then at Li Xian, "King Xian, what kind of hairstyle do you think I should make?"

Wei Fengxia didn't cut her hair, the little girl loves beauty very much.

"Throw away all the hair accessories and tie it with a hair rope. It's simple and beautiful." Li Xian said casually.

"Really? I'll go back and think about it." Wei Fengxia doubted what Li Xian said casually.

After Wei Fengxia left, Xia Qingqing smiled, "The children you raised seem to be beginning to doubt your words."

"Isn't it good to have doubts?" Li Xian didn't care, and pulled Xia Qingqing out, "With doubts, there is progress. Times have changed.

People yearn for light and freedom. If this instinct is restricted, a country is like being built on firewood, and sooner or later it will decay! "

Xia Qingqing shook her lower lip, and said softly: "If the whole people's minds are liberated, can you control such a country?"

"No!" Li Xian replied firmly.

"and you……"

"I can't control this country. Because it's not mine alone, it belongs to everyone! Such a country is the least worried about betrayal, because no one will betray their own interests.

If the Kingdom of Shang wants to develop, it must go out; and if it wants to go out, it needs loyalty. How can we guarantee loyalty? "

After Li Xian finished speaking, Xia Qingqing was thoughtful. After a while, Xia Qingqing nodded, "You are right!"

Li Xian kept walking, and said: "A few days ago, everyone discussed a question, why is the country stronger than the sect, but the country's lifespan is so short?

In fact, the truth is very simple to put it bluntly, because the country is stronger than the sect, and it also magnifies the crime. If you can't find a way to curb the crime, the country's destruction is inevitable.

And how to curb evil? In my opinion, it is development!

A country is like a towering tree. Only when it grows and grows continuously can it gain space and get rid of rotten branches and leaves. If you want to develop, you need change; if you want change, you need courage and wisdom; if you want enough wisdom, you need the participation of the whole people. "

"En!" Xia Qingqing nodded fiercely.

But after walking a few steps, Xia Qingqing suddenly wondered, "What are we going to do?"

"Shopping!" Li Xian laughed loudly, and the two walked out of the City Lord's Mansion hand in hand, only the shadow quietly followed behind them.

On the street, great changes have taken place. Most of the men in the Shang Kingdom almost shaved off their hair, leaving only a short cut. Some people even became bald altogether.

The situation was a bit funny, but the streets were full of laughter. There are many shops around, and the people laugh constantly. Li Xian and Xia Qingqing were dressed in ordinary clothes, and with a little make-up, no one could tell for a while.

Perhaps, no one would have thought that Li Xian would come out to shop.

But Xia Qingqing's sassy hairstyle attracted attention; and then the sharp-eyed person yelled, "It's the virtuous king and princess, I know their clothes!"

That's right, Li Xian and Xia Qingqing's dresses may be ordinary, but the workmanship and fabric of the clothes cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

With a bang, the whole street was surrounded.

"Hello King Xian, hello Princess..."

A crowd of people and waves of greetings overwhelmed them.

Li Xian sighed helplessly, "I said everyone, I just went out to go shopping and take a break, so what are you going to do?"

"Let's go shopping with King Xian." A voice rang out, and voices of approval followed one after another.

The people were too enthusiastic, so Li Xian could only run back to the city lord's mansion in embarrassment. This shopping is no longer enough, the streets are full of shining eyes.

Not to mention Li Xian's place, the entire Shang Kingdom is now immersed in a joyful and bright atmosphere. Li Xian's speech, as well as the development of Shang Kingdom, filled everyone with hope and fighting spirit. Common people also began to discuss politics, and capitalists began to think about the development of the country.

In just a few days, a series of articles began to appear in the newspapers. Some of these articles discussed economic development, some discussed people's livelihood, some discussed enterprise operation and management, some discussed industry, some discussed education, and some discussed military construction. of……

All kinds of ideas are beginning to explode, and people are observing their world with an unprecedented perspective; planning their future with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Some people are in business, some are exploring, some are writing, some are starting to study exercises... In society, the three hundred and sixty lines are starting to move forward simultaneously, and they are all pursuing a future of their own!

A bright future lies ahead; the common people who have muddled through once, are observing the world with hopeful eyes for the first time.

In the past, practice was only the right of a small number of people; although exercises were everywhere, due to the lack of basic medicinal materials and treasures, there were too few who really achieved success. Most ordinary people still see little hope.

For the construction of Beidou City, the scale of recruitment quickly expanded from 2 million to 5 million; the construction of a city with a radius of 100 kilometers, the direct investment of 300 million taels of gold from the state, plus various hidden investments, etc., greatly stimulated The development and progress of folk, factories, and technology in the Shang Kingdom.

Not only the construction of Beidou City, but also the construction of a large number of factories, the construction of roads and railway bridges, the restoration of rivers, the construction of artificial rivers, the construction of river dams, etc., one project after another has started. The country has a total investment of more than 1.5 billion taels of gold; in the later period, funds continued to be added.

The representatives of various countries were dumbfounded. The situation in front of them exceeded everyone's ability to think.

Generally speaking, after a large-scale war, the country must rest and recuperate, and the people will have a difficult life; this is the "truth" of the past. But here in the Kingdom of Shang, things have changed.

Just after the war ended, the Kingdom of Shang began to explode and develop greatly. There was no suffering among the people and no complaints from the people; not to mention, everyone was full of hope.

Qi State, which had just been swallowed up by the Shang Kingdom, is undergoing changes at an unprecedented speed. Countless nobles, former officials, etc. of the Qi State have been tried; the Shang Kingdom used this method to initially win the hearts of the people of the former Qi State. recognized. Subsequently, the Kingdom of Shang began to develop in Qidi.

Mine construction, railway construction, road construction, urban construction, farmland water conservancy construction, etc., are all paid by the state and the people work. It is no longer the corvee of the past, but a "job".

The state pays for the construction of farmland and water conservancy, but do you still get paid for doing the work yourself? Such a good thing, there are not many people who do not welcome it.

And all these wealth were copied from Qi State and officials at all levels! In fact, the Kingdom of Shang didn't spend any money, and even got countless wealth from the Kingdom of Qi.

But there is one thing that the Kingdom of Shang has done very interestingly. The "Royal Bank of Qi State" in Qi State has been preserved. To be exact, it was swallowed up by Shang Kingdom's 'bank', but Shang Kingdom did not cancel the accounts inside.

Shang Kingdom's method is to sort out all the accounts and then check them one by one; all legal accounts are still kept without any change. Of course, the banking rules should be in accordance with Shang Wangguo.

This approach of the Shang Kingdom has won the approval of almost all legal businessmen in Qi, and almost all of these legal businessmen are from the people.

Just a few days later, there was no more rebellion in Qi State, and it was literally swallowed up by Shang Kingdom, without even a wave.

Twenty days before and after, the state of Qi has completely become history. The speed is so fast that all countries feel deep fear!

Then, the Kingdom of Shang made another big move. After the imperial palaces of the Great Xia Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom were sorted out, they were...opened to the outside world!

They are named "Great Xia Kingdom Palace" and "Qi Kingdom Palace Museum" and are open to everyone. As long as one tael of silver, you can enter the interior and visit for a whole day.

Once, the infinitely majestic residence of the emperor was made public, which meant that the mystery of the emperor was revealed. After losing the veil of mystery, the foundation of the emperor's power is also shaken.

After a series of combined punches, Shang Kingdom seemed to jump out of the sea like a round of scorching sun and began to scorch the whole Yingzhou—change has come, and a new era has begun; are you all ready!

…………

Inside the Ford Mountain Resort, the Vietnamese missions all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yue Ming's Prince Yue Ming looked solemn, seeing the changes in the past twenty days with his own eyes, Yue Ming felt deeply, and even felt an indescribable fear.

"Is it going to change?"

The sound of slow footsteps came, and Prime Minister Gou Yuanli came back, "His Royal Highness, I am overjoyed. The Kingdom of Shang promised to lend us three 10,000-ton warships, ten 5,000-ton frigates, and countless other supplies, including a complete set of Basic industrial materials and basic machine tools, etc., totaled 340 million taels of gold to support our defense war.

All the warships have been temporarily equipped with water-dispelling formations. Although the speed of the ships cannot reach 200 kilometers per hour, they still have a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, which is twice the speed of the previous warships. "

"Really, that's great!" Yue Ming was overjoyed.

Is three hundred and forty million taels of gold much? Of course many! But if the Wu State can be destroyed, the Yue State will get billions or even billions of taels of gold, which is enough to pay for this expense.

More importantly, these ships are faster, which is invaluable!

But after a short pause, Gou Yuanli said again: "Your Highness, there is an item that the Kingdom of Shang asks for 200 million taels of gold."
