At this time, Li Yi, Fu Qian, Kong He, Fang Shaoqun, Chen Zuocai and others arrived one after another. The Dongfan government orders were simple, and Xu Zixian himself was not happy. Only in the back house were dozens of maids and maids serving Xiaomei and Xiuniang. In fact, they were also waiting for the arrival of their mistress Chen Wenjun. The Nan'an Marquis' Mansion could not be too quiet to avoid the displeasure of the people in Chang'an Marquis' Mansion.

Even so, Xu Zi went on his own first, and only Shi Cong Cao's escort, and even the original Xu Wen, Xu Ming and other companions were placed in each department to learn to be officials. Normally, there was only one companion who would follow Xu Zi first, boil foot water for him, bring a few clothes to change his laundry robe, and have no other use.

So, several of these civil servants came alone, wearing official uniforms in blue archery robes, and wore soft-footed heads. If they went out for business, they would be accompanied by officials and guards from Jing'an Division. Compared with the great Wei officials, the officials on the Dongfan Island could be considered as a shameless person.

But everyone was in a good mood. When they got off the horse, they stopped and waited. After almost everyone arrived, the most important civil servants on the Dongfan Island walked towards the Hou Mansion.

There was Lin Qi who was wearing a green robe and a bundle of scarves on the horses, and filled the stone manger with fine materials.

Xu Zi first came up and bowed to the officials.

The younger sister and Xiu Niang have already avoided the back house. They still don’t quite understand Xu Zixian’s words, but the two young women are both brisk and Xu Zixian cannot eat with them tonight. This is a small regret, but knowing that Xu Zixian is in a happy mood and full of vitality, the younger sister and Xiu Niang are also becoming more relaxed and happy.

"Today we eat big pieces of meat." Xu Zixian stretched his body and said with a smile: "I feel better and I seem to be hungry. I really want to eat meat. I have already asked someone to prepare."

A group of civil servants had no objection. Fu Qian became the core of everyone, deep wells and water trucks, which have attracted attention recently. Fu Qian has studied geography on the edges of several rivers, preparing to build dams and build future textile factories.

"Thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of workshop machines, tens of thousands of spindles, and people need to use people to take care of them day and night. People are not machines, they need to eat and sleep at least two people. If they use animal power, they need to use tens of thousands of donkeys and mules to rotate back and forth. People also need to take care of livestock and feed essence, and the profits are thin. Besides, there are no more mules and donkeys on Fujian Road and Zhejiang." Fu Qian said with a thrilling look: "If we open a factory to make money, there will be a large factory with thousands of people in Jiangling, which uses single-pedal machines. In addition, there are more than one million mu of cotton fields there, and merchants collect cotton from all over the place. In the words of Junhou, they form an industrial chain.

If it becomes a production and sales base, the cost will naturally drop. With more factories, it will pursue patterns and quality, and it will be harder for cloth merchants and cotton field owners in other places to survive. Our Fujian Road has unique benefits and is also the center of sea trade. Over the years, cotton trading has always been controlled by Songjiang people. Wouldn't it be too stupid? If all the water-powered looms are successfully put into operation, just a few thousand people can take care of tens of thousands of machines. Our cost is low and the weaving is thick. Junhou said he should not make a trick, so he used pure white cotton cloth, which is thick and strong, and could quickly open the market. Three years later, Japan, Luzon, and South China countries, as long as there is enough cotton, one million or ten million, it is no problem."

Everyone was smiling, and even Fang Shaoqun laughed.

Dongfan places emphasis on technology, innovation, efficiency, and tax rates, farming, and factory establishment. It is all a kind of vitality. Although everything is still being created and has not made any profit, it always gives people a sense of prosperity.

"There is also oil pressing. In our Dongfan and Penghu, we grow a large number of beans. It is too time-consuming to squeeze oil by manpower. There is still a water conservancy press in the middle of Sichuan. It has long been a water conservancy press. It uses water flow to drive the bearings and continuously press them. Human resources are just auxiliary, and oil is constantly produced day and night. Fools all know that if you eat, you will swell without salt. If you eat three pounds of rice, you won't feel full after eating three pounds of rice. If you eat two cents of oil, you will be too oily to eat, and you will probably be hungry if you eat one pound of rice.

No matter how money is, people have to find ways to buy some oil. Whether it is rapeseed oil, soybean oil, or boiled lard, they are of great use and inseparable. Junhou said first that what we operate in Dongfan must be related to people's livelihood and the quantity must be large, or it must be related to overseas trade, and the quantity must be large. It is difficult for us to catch up with porcelain, such as cotton cloth and raw silk, which can be used to produce large amounts of foreign trade, and to squeeze beans and produce oil, and sell them along the coastal routes, which is also profitable."

Li Yi nodded at this time and said, "No wonder the king and the prince valued Mu Zhi at the beginning, so we are not as good as that."

Although Fu Qian was proud, he still had no heads. He waved his hand and smiled, saying, "If you want to accomplish something, you must make good use of the tools. I am a small artifact. If there is no lord, how can I have everything in front of the Dongfan? What's the use of my skills? Lin Jiusi's skills are much better than me, and he is not regarded as a servant. Whether it is cotton, beans, factories, without capital, personnel, land, just having technology will become a skill and useless."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. The Confucian scholars complained and criticized the craftsmen, saying that strange tricks and tricks are useless to the country. However, the situation on the Dongfan side is like slapping the faces on the left and right.

However, great scholars like Wu Shizhong had a positive attitude towards the technological progress of craftsmen. Confucius said that he did not know about military affairs and farming, so why did the Master despise those who practice these skills? It was just that later generations were shallow and ignorant. As the saying goes, the top scholar in Donghuamen was considered a real man after ten years of hard study. It was really an unreasonable paradox and ridiculous.

The man who held a spear and spear in the cold wind and heavy snow defended the Xiongnu. He rode his horse in the middle of the night, went deep into the grassland, defeated the Turkic cavalry, captured the Khan, and cut off the troubles of China's borders. He read a few books, so those who were seeking learning in the pile of papers were considered real men. Isn't that a strange thing?

The theory of corrupt scholars has no market in the Dongfan, and at least Xu Zixian's attitude is quite obvious.

Confucianism and miscellaneous studies have their own uses. Even if a school is opened and a great scholar is invited to take charge of the matter, it is still important to its name rather than seeking its study. The scholars and scholars from the Dongfan learned based on what they needed. Whether it is classical, commercial law, law, hydrology, as long as they can get their work, their knowledge is good, rather than Confucianism being the only one.

This attitude is quite secret. Not only Wu Shizhong didn't feel anything, but even Li Yi and others didn't know it all. Among all the people present, Fu Qianyin was probably the only one who knew Xu Zixian's thoughts and plans. The only one who truly knew the inside story and strongly supported it was Fang Shaoqun, who remained crazy and remained unchanged.

For a moment, the people in the mansion prepared a grill, killed the sheep and bleed and peeled it. The sheep were cleaned and baked it into golden yellow. They took it down and placed it on the round table. Xu Zi first asked Li Yi and others to sit down at the round table. The round table means that it is not a serious banquet, no distinction between superiors and inferiors, no main seat, and no seat at the main seat at the guest seat. Everyone sat at will. Each person had a pot of wine, which was also a low-level craft rice wine. Each person had a pot of wine, and each had a cup of wine, which was more casual.

At that moment, the servants brought knives and forks, all of which were shiny knives and forks. Everyone took them one after another and started to cut the mutton. Everyone had fine salt as dipping sauce in front of them, and there was not much attention, which was completely incomparable to the real noble banquet.

However, everyone didn't care. The mutton was fat and roasted just right. Everyone kept fixing it with a fork, and then cut the meat off the sheep. Even the older Kong He, who was always reserved, Fang Shaoqun kept his hands and mouths. When outsiders looked outside, they could only see a group of men in blue robes and green scarves cutting their flesh with knives in the house, and they could not tell the level of their status.

Xu Zi first snatched a front leg, weighing about five or six kilograms. He kept eating the knife and fork for half an hour before he finished eating the lamb leg.

The mutton was very fat and had no extra seasoning. Even if everyone dipped it in fine salt, a fat sheep with more than 40 kilograms was quickly eaten.

"How do you feel about this mutton?" Xu Zixian did not drink alcohol. He drank the drink prepared by Xiu Niang and used a lot of supplements. People in this era had different habits of drinking tea. For example, Europeans and Tianfang people liked to add sugar and milk to the tea. Although the people of the Great Wei gave up the old custom of using onion and ginger to make tea in the Tang Dynasty, they were still used to mixing various drinks with tea. These drinks had their own uses, just like the Guangdong people who liked soup drinks in later generations. This was the most popular way to drink in the Great Wei.

The kind of tea cooking method that is purely made of tea, or even rain, dew, and snow water, is not very popular at this time.

Xu Zixian actually likes the purest taste of tea. Whether it is mellow black tea, slightly bitter Pu'er, or fragrant green tea, they all have their own merits. He doesn't understand it very much. This era is not too popular. Later generations were just a poor college student, and he drank no more than ten kinds of tea. Even later generations liked milk tea with various seasonings the most, which was quite popular among girls.

The rest of the people didn't drink much, so only Fang Shaoqun poured a few glasses for him and drank slowly.

Everyone was guessing that Xu Zi had summoned people first, but the people present were all deep-minded people. Simply put, they were all extremely intelligent people.

Li Yi was once a juren from Hebei. His talent must be above the passing line. His career was not good, but he was attracted by Xu Yingbin, the Marquis of Nan'an. When he answered, Li Yi's talent and conversation made Xu Yingbin appreciate it, so he invited the Marquis of Nan'an as the chief secretary.

Fu Qian is even a master of miscellaneous studies that Xu Zixian remembers. He is a very famous master of craftsmanship throughout the Great Wei Dynasty.

Kong He didn't know how it would develop later, but based on his current performance, he is quite smart and intelligent, and has a calm personality. He must do what he determines and is meticulous and meticulous. This is Kong He's biggest feature.

Fang Shaoqun was the leader of the staff who was most trusted by Liu Zhiyuan in the Dasan Mansion. He was full of wisdom and wisdom, and was a smart person who was deeply respected by Xu Zixian.

Chen Zuocai and others also have their own characteristics. They are loyal and simple, or resolute and decisive, and are both temporary choices.

These people are smart and smart, but they don’t mention them in the Dongfan. Even if they look at the entire Wei Dynasty, they are still talented. At this time, they couldn’t guess Xu Zixian’s intention, so they simply didn’t ask, just waited for Nan'an Hou to speak himself.

"How about the mutton you guys eat tonight?" After drinking a few sips of drinks, Xu Zi first called Cangtou Linqi to the inner house and told him that he had eaten enough and had drunk the drinks, leaving the meat dumplings for food tomorrow morning.

Lin Qi took the order and Xu Zixian had time to speak. Seeing that everyone was a little disgusting, he explained: "The yinzi was made by Xiu Niang. If you don't drink it tonight, it will be broken. The meat dumplings were made by her sister. It will be more delicious tomorrow morning, just right."

Fang Shaoqun usually made up his plan to resolve doubts, but he didn't talk much during the public meeting. At this time, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Although diet is a trivial matter, the lord and the lord must also consider the order and still have the same heart as the wife and the second lady. It can be said that his wisdom is not lost."

Although it was a joke, everyone felt that Xu Zixian was indeed a kind-hearted personality, and he was not willing to hurt his sister and concubine.

But this personality also has a contradictory side.

Xu Zixian fought in Jiangtan and beheaded nearly two thousand levels. He ordered beheadings to those seriously injured bandits, and not letting one go. Even if he was slightly injured, he was asked to tie them with a rope and sent them to the court for strict handling.

For those who are unruly and even want to make trouble, use a rope to pass through the palm of their hands, pull them away bloodily, and dare to yell and disrupt the morale of the army or still disobey, they will cut down their heads with a horizontal knife, and will never be lenient.

For internal rebels, they will be killed without mercy. In this regard, they are determined and determined, and will not lose the style of being the ruler.

In the battle at the port of Qizhou, all the captured pirates were beheaded, and blood flowed into a river on the beach, and the waves that surged up were all blood-red, which was shocking.

Such a person has a kind and kind side, which is amazing.

When Fang Shaoqun spoke, there was a faint shadow of a person in his heart, as if Emperor Guangwu of Han in history was also such a person.

Han Guangwu was a young brother. He grew up under the shadow of his elder brother. He seemed to have no outstanding places in his early years. He made his mark after the Kunyang battle, and then recovered Hebei in a short time and then unified the world.

During the unification of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu had a side that knew people and used them well. After establishing the country, he treated his subordinates kindly. Compared with Liu Bang who killed the white snake, he didn't know how kind he was.
