Because he relaxed his vigilance, Hu Guang called out all the whole family, including his old wife, two sons, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, and familiar neighbors to meet Li Xin. Li Xin had a cordial conversation with him. After a while, he said goodbye to everyone's heartfelt greetings.

When he left the door, even when he walked to the street, there were still people waving their hands frequently and kept calling the commander to walk slowly. Zhang Nai couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Li, whenever the King of Chuang went there, the people carried wine and fed food, so I thought it was enough to win the hearts of the people, but today I realized that this is the true hearts of the people!"

"Um!"

Huiqiong nodded and said, "The King of Chuang is nothing more than a relief to the people. What kind of livelihoods and harvests are there, what will happen in the future? I will not care about it if I eat half full in a meal, and then I will wander around with the refugees. I don't know how many people will die on the road. Mr. Li, I won't hide it from you. Every time we buried the body in our Jianwo Camp, I feel really uncomfortable when I look at the miserable appearance, wuwuwu~~"

As he said that, Huiqiong actually started crying while wiping her tears, and she cried, "We didn't think anything was wrong before, we were just sad. We thought that the King of Chuang had tried our best. It was because the Ming Dynasty officials were too bad and forced the people to survive. However, on the way to Haizhou, more than 10,000 elderly, weak, women and children almost went to the ground safely. Whoever is better or bad is bad, and they can be seen at a glance. From today, Mr. Li is indeed solving problems for the people, and it is not in vain to be loved."

Everyone nodded and said yes.

Li Xin was also very proud.

Shao Shixin stroked his beard and said, "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. I have also stayed in Li Chuang's army. Alas, the whole army is full of bandits, so how can I care about the lives and death of the people? What the commander-in-chief does is the right way!"

"Okay, OK!"

Li Xin nodded with a smile: "Haizhou has rich resources, but the people can't afford to rely on it. This is not true. I plan to establish Donghai Quartz Mining Corporation. Is Shi Xin willing to be the general manager?"

"What?"

Shao Shixin looked disbelief. Over the past few days, he had been intentionally and intentionally inquiring about the situation of the Revolutionary Army. Although the general manager of this general manager was completely different from the officials of the Ming Dynasty, his power was not different. Just like the general manager of Lianghuai Salt Industry, it didn't sound good, but in fact it was equivalent to the acting eunuch of Lianghuai Salt Transportation Office. Those who were worried about this position were just small ambassadors from the Nine-grade Salt Field.

For example, China Daily, Finance Corporation, Textile Group, and General Managers have very strong power, which is no different from similar officials in the Ming Dynasty.

He didn't expect that this piece of cake would hit him on his head.

"Being respected by the commander-in-chief, Beizhi is self-conscious, but Beizhi has a question in his mind. If Quartz Mining Corporation is established, it will inevitably affect the local crystal craftsmen. Their livelihood is not easy. Beizhi is worried that it may force the craftsmen to go desperate!"

Shao Shixin's eyes were wet and he choked and bowed.

Li Xin smiled and said, "You can think like this, which means you have thought about it, but I want to tell you that for a long time, crystal and quartz have been confused. Crystal is a precious gem, while quartz is not. For the time being, our main business is placed on quartz, using quartz as the raw material to refine glass, and there is no problem of conflict with crystal craftsmen."

“Isn’t quartz just crystal?”

Hui Jian muttered.

The components of quartz and crystal are both silica. The difference is that one crystal is imperfect and the other crystal is perfect. It is obvious that the imperfect crystallization quartz has a wider distribution in nature and cannot mine crystal veins for the time being, so Li Xin can only focus on the quartz mine.

However, it doesn't matter if you say this in front of Hongniang and Zhou Han and his daughter. It would be a big mess to explain it to others. Li Xin didn't want to cause trouble. After thinking about it, he said: "Quarz is everywhere. The sand by the river, the rocks on the mountain, and the flint used in flintlock rifles are all quartz. The source is much wider than that of crystal. Then melting the quartz into glass, it looks very different from the appearance, but the price can be dozens of times cheaper, and it does not require polishing and can be produced in large quantities."

"oh?"

Huiqiong said in surprise: "Young Master Li, it's really good. If this is the case, people use glass instead of crystals. Wouldn't the crystal craftsman be even more miserable?"

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "The glass tower in Nanjing Dabaoen Temple is full of glass components. It shines brightly on sunny days and is extremely luxurious. However, the glass I mentioned is a little different. It has no color, is transparent, has more advanced technology and is cheaper. The most ordinary people can afford glass products and have no conflict with crystals at all. After all, crystal is a gem. Of course, no matter what, glass still has some impact on crystal craftsmen. I believe that Manager Shao will have a solution."

Shao Shixin nodded quickly and said, "Commander-in-Chief, this matter is not difficult to handle. The Mining Corporation can absorb crystal craftsmen as company employees. It not only attracts skillful hands but also solves the livelihood. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

With the smelting level at that time, it was not difficult to make glass. What was lacking was ideas, formulas and a complete set of procedures. It happened that Li Xin had outstanding achievements in machinery and chemistry due to the reason for selling arms in his previous life.

"Okay, you will start planning tomorrow!"

Li Xin smiled and patted Shao Shixin on the shoulder.

...

Nanjing, Meixianglou!

The China Daily is issue every three days, and the girls in Meixianglou must read it every three days. Although Hou Fangyu once proposed that Hou Xun ban the newspaper and Sun Chuanting was fanning the flames, Hou Xun was weak by nature and was not even Sun Chuanting's opponent. How dare he provoke Li Xin for no reason? So he refused to take charge of military affairs. Sun Chuanting made the decision in civil matters, and it was finally left unresolved. The circulation of China Daily in Jiangnan is getting bigger and bigger.

"The newspaper is here, the newspaper is here!"

Liu Rushi took a stack of newspapers and stepped into the small building excitedly.

"Come on, take a look, what news is there today!"

Kou Baimen couldn't wait to snatch it and distribute it.

"Oh, Mr. Li won the battle!"

Bian Yujing suddenly exclaimed.

The commander-in-chief of the Chinese Revolutionary Army personally led tens of thousands of artillery, infantry and cavalry, and rushed thousands of miles to attack the bandit Yuan Shizhong. After a fierce battle overnight, Yuan Shizhong's entire army was defeated, and he only brought dozens of cavalry to escape at night, and nearly 20,000 people surrendered...

"Okay, these thieves deserve to die!"

The girls applauded and were more reserved, like Liu Rushi, Kou Baimen and Bian Yujing, there were smiles on their lips. In fact, what they didn't realize was that Li Xin's status had gradually become orthodox with the in-depth release of the China Daily.

After all, the newspapers are all positive energy!

"The Yangzhou labor trading market has been prepared for half a year and has been officially put into operation and use. On the day of its opening, nearly 300 employers entered, with more than 10,000 job seekers gathered. More than 3,000 agreements were reached on the spot. Starting today, the official ban on the Huaiyang area..."

"Oh, this one is great. I hate the son the most!"

I don't know which girl called her well.

"Continue to read down!"

"About whether Yang Sichang committed suicide by swallowing gold or died of illness, readers are welcome to submit their articles and discuss their own views. The newspapers will be selected for one month, and the author will be signed, and a remuneration of five taels of silver per hundred words..."

Then below are some of the life of Yang Sichang and his battle with Zhang Xianzhong.

"Oh, there is still a chance to enter the newspaper? You are going to become famous, you are going to become famous!"

Gu Hengbo screamed: "I have to write it quickly and submit it to the newspaper. Hehe, maybe it can be published!"

"With Sister Rushi, can you compare with Sister Rushi?"

Kou Baimen glanced over and snorted.

Among the famous prostitutes who often come to Meixianglou, they are divided into two distinct factions. One is the Tingfushe sect, led by Li Xiangjun and Gu Hengbo, and the other is the Ting Li Xin sect, led by Kou Baimen and Bian Yujing. Liu Rushi stood a little on Li Xin's side.

Liu Rushi was obviously very interested, and smiled and said, "Amei, you can't say that. Hengbo is no match for me. In fact, everyone has a chance. Why don't we start writing now? Well, to discuss our own point of view, it seems that the focus is not on literary talent, but on detailed and convincing. This is very strange!"

The girls went back to their houses and wrote in their own doors.

Qian Qianyi is also a loyal reader of China Daily. When he was about to write this article, he suddenly snorted: "As a leader in Jiangnan literary world, why should I contribute to him to help him? Don't be fooled!"

The pen that had been stained with ink was put down, but Qian Qianyi couldn't help but think about it. How did Yang Sichang die? Chongzhen's words were to die of illness, but a considerable number of court officials believed that he committed suicide because he was afraid of crime. He could only talk privately on his own and there was no public channel. Now that China Daily has provided such a platform, the impulse to contribute is hard to resist.

‘Well, I didn’t find out if I wrote an article, just compare it with the newspaper!’
