In this era, there is actually no real industry, so building weapons, armor, and producing chariots is the so-called "heavy industry" of this era. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the following countries began to accelerate the integration of resources. Politically, the prototype of the county system of later generations began to appear, and militaryally, large armies began to fight, and there was a market. At that time, the two most famous martial arts cities in the world were in Yicheng, Jindu, and the other was in Wuyuan, Yue Kingdom. As early as the Yunchang and Helu era, it was the world's famous smelting capital; according to Ou Yeliang, his ancestors and Fenghuzi's ancestors met and fell in love and killed each other.

Sitting in the carriage made of mahogany, Mei Zi was playing with a beautifully shaped dagger. It should have been a long time since she wiped it. The dagger body was a little gray, but as long as you polish it with a grinding stone, it became shiny and visible. The wooden handle of the dagger was also made of good mahogany, and it was warm in your hands. The style was extremely exquisite.

Zhong Wuyan stared at the short sword for a long time, suddenly snatched it and waved it a few times in the air. He listened to the roar of the sword, and nodded slightly, "Good skills, the key is to use materials, not a thousand-year-old black iron, it can be seen that it was from ordinary craftsmen. However, this sword-caster is extremely sincere, I am afraid that it will take years to cast this short sword just to?"

Mei Zi looked at this woman who looked more like a man than a man. The person in front of her was so strange. She said she liked the fragrance in her car, so she stayed in her car every day. There was no incense in the car, it was clearly the body fragrance of her daughter's house. It didn't matter if Ying Si liked it, she was still happy. It would be better if Bai Zi liked it, she would probably be secretly happy, but if someone who was also a daughter said she liked her body fragrance, it would be a bit strange. That feeling would not be too good.

She was a little curious about Zhong Wuyan, but also a little scared, so she replied carefully: "This sword took two years to build. In Wuyuan, this is called..."

"I know, this is called 'body sword' in Wuyuan. Metallurgists and sword masters with a little trick will create a hand and give them to their children for family inheritance. Your father was also a sword master when he was in Wuyuan. Unfortunately, although this sword was sincere, it was finally the hand of ordinary craftsmen and was never as good as those famous sword weapons. I am just very surprised that although Wuyuan is not the Wuyuan back then, your father was a sword master after all. How could he betray you?"

Zhong Wuyan's behavior is very similar to the glorious and correct party in later generations, the great savior of the Chinese people. He is the most active in uniting Meizi, a poor and miserable family. He has had in-depth exchanges with Meizi these days, and each time he looks infinitely sympathetic; this makes Meizi a little uncomfortable. Her background and circumstances are always the most personal thing. How can a female mountain king need to sympathize with her?

"The sword was made by my grandfather. By my father's generation, he had no sword master. He was just an ordinary farmer in the countryside of Wuyuan. After being suppressed by Shandong countries, Yue State was attacked by Chu State. The country's power declined. Wuyuan no longer had the glory of the past. That year, it encountered a flood. My father sold me to "renshang", but secretly hid the sword in my sleeve and told me that it was in a difficult time. This sword can protect me..."

"Haha, do you know what the body sword is used for? This is the last dignity of the sword master. It is used to use self-defeat when it is difficult..."

Zhong Wuyan said as he took out a short sword from his sleeve, but it was a South China Sea shark skin as a sheath, and there was a treasure inlaid with gold, silver and gems all over. He lowered his voice and smiled: "I have one too. But I won't use it to kill myself, I will only use it to kill my enemies. Meizi, why not let me kiss my face. From now on, we will be the sisters of the swearing, and we can also learn from those men to melt blood and survive! I will protect you in the future. You don't have to serve those stinky men anymore, or even be used by Baizi. Do you think it's okay? Just kiss me, I won't lie to you..."

Meizi shook her head repeatedly when she heard this. She is not a fool. If she kisses her, she will become a sworn sister. I have never heard of this kind of method of sworn, so people will not be fooled.

Ying Si sat in front of Bai Dong with a small mouth pouting, holding a thick book in his hand, and was frowning and studying hard. Bai Dong sat opposite him, holding a small bamboo stick in his hand. Whenever Ying Si was sleepy, he would gently turn his head on his head. Xiao Ying Si had to open his eyes and continue studying hard. This life was simply impossible. Thinking of the comfortable life in Aunt Mei Zi's fragrant car, he felt that he was living in hell now.

"After looking at it for so long, I haven't seen where Wuyuan's problem is? If you were to be the head of a county in Wuyuan County, wouldn't this place have no hope?"

Bai Dong's face was cold and could not be described with a stern voice. Sang Wazi couldn't stand it anymore. Ping Anlang was too anxious to do things. He was only a six-year-old child. He wanted to let him do what a county magistrate should do. Is there any reason for this?

Ying Si also felt very aggrieved. He looked at Bai Dong with his cheeks bulging, his mouth moved a few times but he didn't have the courage to protest.

"You think you are only six years old, and I, the Grand Tutor, shouldn't make things difficult for you, right? Don't you know that there is a Wang Zhu, a country in Lu who can fight for his country at the age of 10. Although he was finally killed in the battlefield, it cheered everyone in Lu and eventually defeated the Qi army? Confucius was knowledgeable and took the world as his teaching. Even Zuo Qiuming wanted to respect him as a saint, but was tested by Xiang Wu, who was only seven years old. In the end, he was convinced and respected this child as his teacher. Xiang Wu was also respected by the world as the 'Holy Lord'! This is the hero among children and the hero among children. As the prince of Qin, you must ascend to the throne in the future and dominate the country. I don't know how many people's livelihoods are all related to you, but you can't even see through the affairs of Wuyuan County. How can you not disappoint people?"

Bai Dong scolded Xiao Yingsi incessantly, and the little guy was so sad that he almost cried. As the prince of Qin, he had certainly heard the stories of Xiang Wu and Wang Zhi, but he never thought of comparing himself to these two outstanding children. Now the Taifu used these two legendary children to suppress him, but he had nothing to say.

Is the problem of Wuyuan County simple? It's not simple. Ying Si felt that his head would explode after taking a look at Wuyuan's information. As early as when Wu and Yue fought for hegemony, it was a famous big city. After Yue State swallowed Wu State, it became the number one county in the southeast of China. However, Wu Yuan used to refine the city for the world and the number one merchants trading the big city in the southeast. There were countless paddy fields outside the city, which could plant rice that could be ripe a year. Industry, commerce, and agriculture were all boosted. Now Wu Yuan is completely different. It can be said that it is full of chaos, leaving Wu Zhuan, the King of Yue who had just ascended the throne, helpless.

Isn’t that man named Wu Zhuan also a disciple of the Taifu? Why doesn’t the Taifu blame him, but scold him, and often praise Wu Zhuan as his most proud disciple in front of him? It’s so unfair! The more Xiao Yingsi thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and tears kept turning in his eyes.

No wonder Ying Si had a headache. Wuyuan, which had a deep water port during the Wu and Yue battle for hegemony, had great development with its superior geographical environment a hundred years ago. At that time, the mineral resources of Yan, Qi, Wu Yue, and even Chu could be easily concentrated here. In addition, Wu Yue's sword making skills were outstanding in the world, so it became the largest city for producing various weapons and equipment. There was once a grand scene where everyone in Wuyuan City was strong and wore swords.

With the support of "heavy industry", the number of Wuyuan people gradually increased to 70,000, half of which were related to iron smelting sword making, and half were merchants who came from the prosperous city and farmers who settled near the city. However, they each guarded their ancestral industries and rarely saw cross-industry situations. It was extremely rare for grandfathers like Mei Zi to become sword-casting masters and then became farmers' families in their families.

After seeing the detailed information of Wuyuan, even Bai Dong was surprised. This city named after the county had actually surpassed the size of a large county. In its heyday, there were 30,000 people of all kinds in the city, and 50,000 farmers outside the city wall, which was no less than the capitals of some weak countries. Moreover, this city integrates industry, commerce, and agriculture, and can actually be self-sufficient, as if the atmosphere of a small country was even more amazing. Before the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, there were many capitals with this atmosphere, but there was only one Wuyuan at the county level.

"Boy, let me give you a little more. To break Wuyuan's dilemma, the first thing to solve is all kinds of debts, including the debts of farmers' green seedlings, the debts of merchants' profits and losses, and the debts of workers' wages to craftsmen. If you want to solve them, you may think of a way to solve them?"

"Hehe, Bai Zi said it very easily. It was precisely to solve these debts that I had to borrow millions of silver coins from you. If you don't have money, it would be impossible to solve it. Gods and immortals will have to worry, let alone such a child?"

Before Bai Dong finished speaking, Zhong Wuyan smiled and opened the window of the carriage and poked his head in. Unfortunately, her smile was not beautiful, and she also had a sarcastic scent.

"Is that so? If I had a way to solve Wuyuan's problem without spending a copper coin, what should Miss Wuyan say?"

Bai Dong smiled lightly. (To be continued)
