Chapter 91 Military Athletics
After staying in Yimu clan for a few days, Qian Xiaoxing also took the time to improve the various facilities of the tourism project, hotels, hotels, shops, hot spring villas and bonfire parties at night, all of which started colorfully.
Tourists who have visited all think that the program is rich and the scenery is amazing. After the development of the tourist area came to an end, Qian Xiaoxing returned to Xinghuo City. Commercial areas have been established in the first few development stages of Xinghuo City, followed by residential areas. Next, Qian Xiaoxing began to plan the construction of the industrial area.
Industrial zones mainly attract foreign handicrafts and factories. Due to the popularity of commercial zones in the early stage, many production raw materials have also been traded in large quantities. If merchants buy them, they will have to bring them back to their country for processing, and then the finished products will be returned to the State for sale. Not only will the delay on the way, but it will also increase the freight costs.
In view of this, Qian Xiaoxing prepared to build a factory and rent it out at a low price to allow these merchants to settle in. This not only solves the problems of merchants, but also allows merchants to hire local labor and increase the people's income.
Of course, what Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect was that after these industrial zones were opened, a large number of labor was needed. The Si State originally had a small population, and many people joined the army. The surplus labor was far from meeting the demand. So he had no choice but to let the merchants go back to their own country to recruit people. With the increase of migrant workers, the surrounding retail stores were in full swing, and Qian Xiaoxing stipulated that these stores could only be opened by the Si State, and the Si State people increased their income a lot.
Standing outside Xinghuo City, looking at the originally deserted land, houses rising from the ground, Qian Xiaoxing was very satisfied with this sense of accomplishment, but as for the current facilities, it was only less than half of the design drawings. There was still a long way to go to build a metropolis of China.
Qian Xiaoxing was looking forward to the bright future of Xinghuo City. Seeing that Si Wang brought Si Yingying over, Si Wang said, "Little Qian, Yingying just accompanied me to Xinghuo City for a walk. It was so lively."
Qian Xiaoxing smiled and replied, "It's normal. Xinghuo City is still developing now. If you wait for the future, you will definitely make a fortune."
Si Yingying said, "It's still awesome. Do you know how much money you have now?"
"How much?" Qian Xiaoxing was a little excited after hearing this and said, "Is there a lot of things that can't be counted?"
Si Yingying replied: "Now you make a lot of money, such as Spark Building, trade commissions, taxes, etc., but you have a lot of expenses and you don't make enough money."
"No," Qian Xiaoxing really didn't care much about the financial situation. She also took the income from Si Yingying and the expenses were also collected from her.
Si Yingying came over and pulled Qian Xiaoxing and said, "But it really surprised me. Do you know how much money you can earn on average a day? It's 6,000 taels!"
"Six thousand," Qian Xiaoxing immediately converted it. One tael of silver is equal to five hundred yuan, and six thousand taels is equivalent to three million yuan. He was shocked at this point. Before he knew it, he actually became a billionaire who earned one million yuan a day. He asked Si Yingying, "I earn six thousand taels a day, isn't it enough to spend?"
Si Yingying replied: "Yes, the wages of workers in Si State are getting higher and higher, and you have done so much infrastructure, so you can't afford it."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded. There was almost no stop on the construction site in Xinghuo City. Tens of thousands of workers worked here every day. The expense was really high. He asked, "How much is it missing?"
Si Yingying replied: "It's probably still 500,000 taels away."
"No problem, I'll go find Ling Shan now and ask her to mobilize her from the money house first and return it later." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
Si Yingying smiled and said, "So, you opened a money shop just for today. You can spend all the money from the people at will."
"Of course, it's okay for others to borrow. Even if there is interest, I will just take an interest-free loan." Qian Xiaoxing said proudly.
When King Si saw Qian Xiaoxing get along well, 500,000 taels were the same as the same as the one for Si State. Now it is solved with no effort. Si State is really a big leap.
King Si looked at the residential area built and said, "Xiao Qian, the houses in these residential areas are so good, and the people all want to move here, but after all, the houses are limited, how do you see how to allocate them?"
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "Priority is given to those with martyrs at home, then those with someone joining the army at home, and secondly, those with someone working. They make contributions to Si State, and Si State should also treat it well."
"Well, this idea is very good. Whoever contributes more to Si State will give it to whom." Si Wang agreed.
Qian Xiaoxing said: "In the past, there was a country where soldiers were very fierce because if they obtained the head of an enemy, they could be promoted and promoted, divided the land and family. The more they killed, the more they divided. I think this method is very good. I am also planning to learn from it in the future. In addition to providing political education to soldiers, they should also supplement it with practical benefits."
King Si nodded and said, "Indeed, they have all fought for their lives for the country, and the country should treat them well. Just keep your money at your disposal, and I support you."
Qian Xiaoxing was talking about the Qin State's military merit system. At that time, it was divided into twenty levels. Killing one more person could increase the first level. For the people, it was very tempting to have the opportunity to increase their ranks.
While thinking about the specific implementation plan, Si Wang asked worriedly: "Small money, but our company does not have much fertile land. If we make contributions to the land, there is really no land to divide. Should we expand our territory?"
Expanding territory? Qian Xiaoxing listened to King Si's words and hinted that he should fight out. If it was just to defend the State of Si, it would be simple. However, now he is preparing for war, not just thinking about staying in the State of Si. Qian Xiaoxing also has the desire to fight out.
Seeing Qian Xiaoxing pondering, Si Wang continued, "The fastest and most direct channel for accumulating wealth is invasion and plunder. Hu has been raising it for many years, but it is so rich."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and replied, "This is right, but at present, Si State is in the stage of rapid development, it is not appropriate to start a war. The time is right, so I will naturally not be polite to Hu."
Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing had the determination to fight, King Si was relieved and patted Qian Xiaoxing and said, "If I could see King Hu being caught by you in this life, then the revenge of invading our Si country, killing our people, and killing Yingying's mother, I would have revenge even if I die."
Qian Xiaoxing replied seriously: "Don't worry, you will definitely see it, and you won't wait too long."
After seeing off Si Wang and Si Yingying, Huang Wenqiang came to find Qian Xiaoxing with the drawings. Huang Wenqiang has lost weight recently and has been slugging on the construction site all day long. Qian Xiaoxing gave himself such an important job, which is extremely trustworthy for him, and he feels that the responsibility is arduous and he dares not slacken at all.
Of course, the work is very hard, but Huang Wenqiang is very passionate. If the construction of such a large project in Xinghuo City is completed in his own hands, he can proudly tell his descendants about his glory today.
Of course, Qian Xiaoxing also understood Huang Wenqiang's hard work. When he saw Huang Wenqiang coming, he was very polite. He took him to the stone bench next to him and sat down, saying, "Huang Wenqiang, the project is done well. When the entire Xinghuo City is completed, I will definitely give you a great contribution and promotion and salary. That's not to mention it."
Huang Wenqiang shook his head and said, "Chief of Staff, you are also for the State of Si, and I am also for the State of Si. There is nothing to do or not, but the duty."
"Even if you have something to do, you're doing very well. I'll remember this," Qian Xiaoxing asked when he saw Huang Wenqiang bringing the drawings, "What's the matter with me?"
Huang Wenqiang spread out the drawings and said, "That's right, the gymnasium has begun to be built, but the round ceiling is made of steel frames. Isn't it too wasteful?"
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the drawings and designed the ceiling of the stadium, using steel frames and glass, which was indeed not considered in ancient steelmaking difficulties. If these steels were made into weapons and armor, the prices would be astronomical. So he replied: "If you don't use steel frames, I'm afraid I can't hold on."
Huang Wenqiang replied: "If the Chief of Staff considers using steel frames, then you can rest assured. I have discussed with several technicians that using beams and pillars can be completely replaced. However, if you do this, there are more pillars underneath, which may block the view of several stands."
Qian Xiaoxing thought of what Si Yingying said just now, that the expenses were too high, and it seemed that it could not be too wasteful, and said, "Okay, then do what you said, when will the construction be completed?"
"If I do what I said, the construction period will be much faster, and I guess it will be completed in one month." Huang Wenqiang replied confidently.
"Okay, in a month, we can hold the first sports meeting. I will send someone to inform Dashi Guo and Lin Guo and ask them to send someone to participate in the competition." Qian Xiaoxing was a little excited when he said this. It was a fierce competition for the country to hold an Olympic Games in modern times. If he could hold another, it would definitely be the first one he had never seen before. It really fulfilled his dream.
Afterwards, Qian Xiaoxing arranged an envoy to go to two countries to invite sports teams. Lu Shengzhong was also very curious when he heard about this. He remembered that when he was selecting military cadres in Hope Valley, these competitions were held, which were fun and exciting.
Lu Shengzhong said: "Seventh brother, this sports meet is not embarrassing for competitions between countries. We, the State of Si, can't embarrass the team. I will select the team members now. You have more experience. You must train them well at that time."
"That's natural. The strength of sports competition also reflects the strength of the country on the other hand. I'm just worried whether the other two countries will come." Qian Xiaoxing said.
Lu Shengzhong also agreed: "That's right, there has never been such a game before."
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "Our participating players are selected from the army, so they will compete in the name of the army. The name is the military competition. If the other two countries do not come, they will show weakness, and they probably won't be able to bear it. In this way, we can also see the strength of the soldiers of the other two countries. Of course, I will also provide some funds to reward the soldiers in the top three competitions to increase everyone's enthusiasm."
Lu Shengzhong became even more nervous when he heard this and said, "These team members also represent the strength of the army, so we must not be vague. If we embarrass Si Guo, I will punish them."
"Brother Zhong, the necessary pressure is required, but don't be too much. It will be more important to make the players nervous and perform poorly. I would like to promote one sentence: friendship is the first, competition is the second." Qian Xiaoxing said.
Lu Shengzhong smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's still the right thing for my seventh brother. He speaks one by one. I'm just a rough man."
"You are indeed a rude man. Speaking of the two battalion commanders of the female corps, have you visited them recently?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.
Lu Shengzhong replied: "This, I am their superior, of course I have to inspect their training situation, that's all."
"Really, then you have to go to inspect more in the future." Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.
"Uh... go when you have time." Lu Shengzhong said embarrassedly.
The envoys sent by Qian Xiaoxing arrived at Shi Guo and Lin Guo respectively. The envoy explained the purpose of the visit, which surprised everyone. He had never heard of any military competition. However, when the envoy said that it was a manifestation of the strength of the soldiers, he was very interested in participating because everyone felt that their soldiers were the strongest.
The messenger took out the list of competition events and said: "In these competition events, one country can send three people to participate in each event, decide the first, second and third place, and give a financial reward."
After looking at the competition list, there were more than a dozen major events and hundreds of small events. These events were copied by Qian Xiaoxing according to the modern sports meet. There are generally twenty-eight major events in modern sports meets. Qian Xiaoxing eliminated some events that were not suitable for ancient competitions, such as volleyball, bicycles, tennis, table tennis and other events, and also screened out many small events before listing the list.
King Shi saw the list and said to the messenger: "You go back and tell Qian Xiaoxing that I will definitely join the group. Our Shi country's soldiers are the strongest in China. You are just a humiliation for the competition with us. Tell him that I will go to help myself, but I have to receive it well. It has been a long time since I parted with Yingmei. I miss her for a long time. I also want to see if Qian Xiaoxing bullies her, haha."
The envoy completed his mission and was naturally happy. He hurried back to Siguo to report. Lin Guo was similar, but King Lin did not dare to go to Siguo to help, for fear that someone in Siguo would hold a grudge against his previous grudges and would not be beneficial to him, so he just sent Lin Yilong to form a group to participate.
Qian Xiaoxing heard the report of the messenger's return and was naturally very happy that King Shi was coming to visit Si State. A small country could attract the emperor of a big country to come, which would make a lot of face.
Qian Xiaoxing was also very helpless about King Lin's attitude. The villain's mind only thought about things based on his own logic, thinking that everyone would judge a gentleman's ambition like himself, just like him, which is the most appropriate way to describe it.
