Traveling through the universe, starting with obtaining the Marvel Ten Rings

It is not entirely true to say that the officials of this era were all outstanding in their abilities.

But if they are given enough benefits, their efficiency in doing things can be said to be swift and decisive.

In just a few days, Luo Mingyue bought a piece of land of more than 200,000 acres.

He then bought large amounts of land around several other capitals.

Just like that, nearly ten million taels of silver were spent.

Four million acres of land is not big, but also not small.

But now everyone in Shanxi Province knows that a local tyrant has come to the provincial capital.

And Luo Mingyue was also extremely generous to these officials.

People like Qian Wenxin earned 250,000 taels, and there was no technical difficulty in earning this money.

There is no need for Qian Wenxin to do anything against the law.

He just needed to coordinate the purchase of land, and most of it was wasteland.

These wastelands are almost useless, and some are even saline-alkali land that are not suitable for farming, but Luo Mingyue accepts them all.

And Luo Mingyue also began to recruit disaster victims on a large scale.

At the beginning, Qian Wenxin was worried that Luo Mingyue might have some plan for recruiting so many refugees.

But when those workshops were built, he completely believed that Luo Mingyue was just doing it to make money.

In the past, when a prefecture encountered famine, the victims would basically have to go to the capital to beg for survival, but now all the victims are taken care of within Shanxi.

Instead of using the army to suppress them, they were all given jobs to make a living.

This is a great achievement that has saved countless lives.

The current emperor Zhu Zhanji still believed that a group of Shanxi officials were brutally suppressing the victims in order to avoid responsibility, so he sent several imperial envoys to investigate.

After returning, they reported that it was Governor Qian Wenxin who took the lead and other officials cooperated to provide disaster relief through work-for-relief. At the same time, they opened warehouses to release grain, thus solving the food problem for most of the victims.

At the same time, local food prices were controlled to ensure that people would not starve due to the skyrocketing food prices.

Regardless of whether these imperial envoys conducted open or secret investigations or took the initiative to investigate and visit, the results they obtained were all, without exception, that grain prices were normal.

He also walked to several places that Luo Mingyue had bought.

At this moment, workshops and simple dormitories have been built in these places.

Not only that, Luo Mingyue is also tidying up some waterways to ensure that floods will not occur again.

At this moment, these imperial envoys had to believe that there were indeed no victims or disasters in Shanxi.

The first things to be built were ranches and farms.

If you plant a large amount of alfalfa, it will grow into green grassland in just a dozen days.

Alfalfa is known as the king of forage grasses. It has extremely high nutritional value for cattle, sheep, horses and pigs, and has the advantages of being cold-resistant, drought-resistant and fast-growing.

The breeding farm is also simple, and the construction of the sheds does not require very high craftsmanship.

Advanced breeding and management methods cannot be imitated by other businessmen.

Then textile mills, mining, iron wrought iron and other workshops were established one after another.

These disaster victims have now become Luo Mingyue's employees, and their food, clothing, and shelter are many times better than before.

Even schools were built. Luo Mingyue made it mandatory that all employees' children who met the age requirements must enroll, otherwise they would be expelled.

In just half a year, the former disaster victims have become a group of people with the best quality of life in Shanxi.

If Qian Wenxin asked them to go back to the fields now, they would probably tear Qian Wenxin to pieces.

Each industrial zone has actually formed a small town.

These small towns are connected in series and lead directly to the grassland.

The bicycles produced by the workshop are now popular in Taiyuan City and have spread to the whole of Shanxi.

Then came sewing machines and textile machines, which attracted both ordinary people and cloth vendors.

Coal changed the way of life, and heating was something that ancient people had to deal with.

Nowadays, cheap coal briquettes can meet the winter heating needs of almost all people.

Originally, a bundle of firewood cost twenty cents, but a cart of coal briquettes only cost twenty cents, and they are more durable. One coal briquettes can burn for a whole night, and there is no smoke.

……

"Master, Lady Mingyue invites you to a banquet on the Yueshui Tower boat tomorrow. Here is the invitation."

Upon hearing this, Qian Wenxin nodded immediately, glanced at the invitation and put it away.

"Go and tell the messenger that I will be at the banquet on time tomorrow."

Over the past six months, Qian Wenxin has truly discovered Luo Mingyue's methods.

Not to mention Shanxi after the floods, even before the floods, everyone in the province was living a miserable life.

But since Luo Mingyue came, the lives of those disaster victims are now almost the same as those of the landlords and gentry in the past. Although they don’t have delicious food and fish every day, at least they have enough to eat and drink every meal.

Look at the life of the people in Taiyuan city. In comparison, these people in Taiyuan city are more like disaster victims.

Nowadays, who among the people in Shanxi doesn't want to work in Luo's workshop?

Those who went to work in the Luo family workshop had a minimum monthly income of one or two taels of silver, and most of the work in the workshop included food and accommodation.

In just half a year, the Luo family had paid three million taels of tax.

Of course, not all good things happened to Luo's Workshop in Shanxi.

For example, due to the emergence of coal briquettes, the original charcoal sellers are now out of work.

For example, the emergence of large numbers of farmed cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and fish has led to a drop in meat prices, and many small farmers have gone bankrupt.

Don’t say that the imperial court forbids the slaughter of working oxen. Eating beef has now become the norm in Shanxi.

Because the Luo family’s ranch raises too many beef cattle.

Moreover, the Luo family has an endless supply of food, and the food they supply is of high quality and low price.

This led to the bankruptcy of a large number of grain merchants, and many tenants stopped farming for local landlords and all went to workshops to seek work.

The next day, Qian Wenxin came to the Yueshui Wharf, which was also built by Luo Mingyue. This place is specially for tourists to get on and off the boat. There are vendors hawking their wares along the way, as well as a constant stream of tourists.

Qian Wenxin's family also does some business. Last time, his servants came here to inquire about the rental and sale of shops here. After they went back and told him, he learned that a shop here that was about thirty meters long and wide would cost eight hundred taels of silver, which was comparable to the price in the capital.

However, the profits are also extremely considerable. A slightly higher-end restaurant here has a monthly revenue of more than three thousand taels.

At this moment, Qian Wenxin saw a huge ship docked at the pier.

Qian Wenxin stepped forward immediately. In front of the boat were the servants of the Luo family.

"Greetings, Master Qian. My young lady has not arrived yet. Please get on board first."

This time, Luo Mingyue invited all the prefects of Shanxi Province and the governor Qian Wenxin.

Some officials had already sent out invitations a few days ago. When they heard that Luo Mingyue was hosting a banquet, they immediately put down their official duties and rushed to the banquet, so this banquet was of a very high standard.

After the guests arrived, the ship began to leave the shore and sail slowly in the Yueshui River.

Luo Mingyue came in front of everyone and said, "I am very grateful to you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the banquet. I have specially prepared a small gift for you all. Please don't despise it."

Then a group of servants each held a rectangular paper box and delivered it to the officials.

Luo Mingyue personally opened one and took out a radio from it.
