Huo Chengyi couldn't find out how the Seventh Prince was operating in the capital, he just had to wait patiently for the news.

When winter arrives, outdoor activities are basically impossible, and the remaining houses in the valley can only be carried out after the spring.

A long winter cannot be wasted. Weaving can be done indoors. A carpenter can build a loom, and weaving and making clothes can begin.

The entire production Huo Chengyi also adopts assembly line operation.

Handling, weaving, embroidery, sewing and other steps are divided and cooperated. No matter what the male or female brothers are good at, they will do what they are good at and cooperate with each other.

Among them, weaving is the most important, and making clothes is the second, ready-to-wear is slow, the cloth must be made in this winter, and it can be quickly sold and profitable until the spring.

Cloth sales Huo Chengyi does not plan to sell in Tongniu County for the time being, and the secrets of the valley cannot be exposed.

He planned to go to Kurosangoka, taking advantage of the convenient terrain of Kurosangoka, and sell the cloth from Kurosangoka to various countries.

At that time, others will only think that Heishangang is the origin and distribution place of cloth, but will not think that the real behind-the-scenes boss and production are actually in the back mountain of the small village of Huangxi Village.

In addition to production, Huo Chengyi, the slaves in the valley who are preparing to train for expatriate work, is more attentive.

Went to the valley every night throughout the winter to teach myself something professional.

Transportation and communication were the two most difficult problems in ancient development.

The road construction is handled by the Seventh Prince, and the communication is handled by himself.

The few radios in the space are the trump cards that he dares to promise that the Seventh Prince will have an excellent army of millions in five years!

Although the number of radios is not large, in ancient times, unlike modern times, there were various signal interferences, and the communication distance would be much farther.

Huo Chengyi had already experimented with Xiaobai in private, and the effect was far beyond his expectations.

In the future, when the slaves are sent out, if there is any plan notification or news, he can sit in Huangxi Village and issue orders, remotely control all places for thousands of miles, and control the first news.

It's a pity that there is no material to make more, and it can only use the inventory of space.

The main thing now is to brainwash the available slaves in the valley as soon as possible so that things can go smoothly.

The slaves in the valley are not highly educated, but they all have perseverance, and they will work hard to accomplish what the master instructs, no matter how difficult it is.

Huo Chengyi couldn't teach everyone a detailed lesson about all kinds of professional things. He used all kinds of code operations by rote memorization. The slaves were not stupid, and they learned most of them all winter.

Winter to spring.

Time passes silently, and in the blink of an eye, spring is here.

After months of discussions and traveling, news finally came from the court.

On the third day of the snow melting, a team of officers and soldiers arrived at Huangxi Village with a few boxes of rewards and imperial decrees.

"Holy decree, Daniel, hurry up! The court wants to reward our Huo family!"

Uncle Huo immediately ran back and shouted in excitement when he heard the officers and soldiers at the entrance of the village.

When the news arrived, Huo Chengyi was breastfeeding the two children at home. The sudden roar and knock on the door frightened his hands, and the goat milk in the spoon washed the faces of the two children.

Before he could open the door, Uncle Huo broke in by himself, gasping for breath, talking intermittently about the officers and soldiers coming from the village to announce the imperial decree.

Huo Chengyi couldn't wait for this news for a long time. He said that it must be good news if it was a reward. He handed the child over to Mrs. Dong and his mother-in-law, and then dragged Xiaobai to the village entrance.

In the lively onlookers of a group of villagers, officers and soldiers read the imperial edict.

"...Huo Chengyi, a peasant from Huangxi Village...Brick-burning skills have made great contributions...Specially given 100 taels of gold and 3,000 silver, the three families of the Huo family will be exempted from the ding tax forever, and the gold medal of 'good merchants' will be given to the Huo family merchants in the future. The team has priority to go through business in Zhao State..."

"Head of the family, what does the imperial decree mean?"

Mrs. Xue knelt beside Uncle Huo, and the imperial decrees were vaguely heard.

"Da Niu dedicated the skill of burning bricks to the imperial court. The imperial court not only rewarded Da Niu with silver, but also exempted all the corvée and field taxes from the Huo family's three clans, and also gave a golden signboard..."

Uncle Huo whispered excitedly. explain.

The silver reward is nothing, the exemption of corvée and field tax is the big one, and the most important thing is the gold medal of 'good businessman'.

He didn't understand what the gold medal meant by giving priority to business and peers, but whoever has the items and signs bestowed by the imperial family is an unparalleled glory, a transcendent existence.

Not to mention letting those dignitaries kneel for them, but in a small place like Tongniu County, the county magistrate should respect the Huo family three points!

"My mother-in-law, Daniel is really capable, why did he present the baby to His Majesty..."

Mrs Xue was overjoyed and didn't know how to describe her mood.

Who would not be able to offer precious treasures? Maybe there are not many people who would go to the Emperor to leave their names. Ordinary people don't even talk about seeing the emperor, and they can't even enter the palace gate.

Uncle Huo and others were also shocked.

Thinking of the last time Huo Chengyi asked them to talk to them about the Huo family's future choices, then I realized that I believed that their Huo family really depended on some big tree.

Now this result is expected by Huo Chengyi.

But he really didn't expect that the Seventh Prince of the Travel Certificate would also get him a fair hand. He originally thought that he would only open the back door secretly for him now, and that he would officially give him the privilege of traveling with him in the future.

It seems that the Seventh Prince's influence in the court is greater than he imagined, and it's not that His Majesty doesn't want to get rid of it, but he can't get rid of it at all.

I don't know what is the reason for it to make today's emperor feel so aggrieved. These imperial courts are really complicated...

Huo Chengyi muttered in his heart after receiving the imperial decree, but the people in the village exploded.

The imperial decree, that is the emperor's own imperial decree and reward, and this honor cannot be exaggerated.

Several clan elders in the village looked at Huo Chengyi and laughed silly this time, clutching their chests. Fortunately, they didn't fight against this guy at first. This kind of glory is not only for the Huo family, but also for their Huangxi Village.

"Celebrate, this kind of happy event must be celebrated! Jinshui, hurry up and prepare for ancestor worship!" The

elders pushed Uncle Huo with a bright smile and urged to prepare for ancestor worship.

Of course, such a glorious event must be celebrated. That night, Uncle Huo led everyone in the Huo family to stand at the front of the ancestral hall, with the villagers at the back, and performed an ancestor worship ceremony.

Then, under the leadership of the clan elders, the Huangxi Village continued for three days and three nights of running water to celebrate the feast.

Not only did the village chief arrive after hearing the news, but all the wealthy masters in the town came to congratulate him in person.

The members of the business alliance were all present, and everyone was excited.

Ordinary people don't know the benefits of giving priority to merchants, but these merchants know that the Huaxia Business Alliance implements shared resources and contacts.

In other words, they can also enjoy the benefits brought by the signboard of 'good businessmen'.

Once again, everyone was extremely happy to have joined in.

And those merchants who gave up at the beginning are now regretting, who would have thought that a small Huo family could receive royal gifts from the imperial court!

This time, Huangxi Village is truly famous in Shili Baxiang.

What's more, the Huo family's gossip about buying officials was overshadowed by the Huo family's reward from the emperor.

However, the limelight has been blocked, and the matter of buying officials is still going on. All the qualified scholars in the family want to try this opportunity.

If you can buy it, buy it. If you can't buy it, you will participate in the triennial scientific examination next year.

Huo Chengyi is also paying attention to this matter.

This time, the most promising candidates for buying an official are Liao Bocai from the Liao family and another Qiao Xiucai.

Liao Bocai didn't say much, the backing backer was Sun Yuan's outgoing financial support. Although Qiao Xiucai's family did not have such 'strong' financial support, I heard that the family seemed to have some nepotism. In addition, Master Li in the county town has an opinion on the purchase of officials. Recently, he is organizing his students to prepare for some protests... So, it is really

uncertain who will get the Tongniu County magistrate. All kinds of black boxes

The operation is in full swing.

The old lady of the Liao family ran to Huo's house to hang out when she had nothing to do, proudly showing off that her son was going to be the county magistrate.

Huo Chengyi couldn't help but smirk when he heard it, he didn't bother to quarrel with the mother-in-law.

The sooner you are happy now, the more annoyed you will have to cry.

In the face of absolute power, any black-box operation in the officialdom is a joke, and the position of the magistrate of Tongniu will only be the person sent by the Seventh Lord to monitor and assist him.

Not surprisingly, the new magistrate of Tongniu County took office less than half a month after the officers and soldiers who declared the imperial decree left.

When people came, they were accompanied by the master of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and even officials like the prefecture accompanied him. One can imagine the background of the new magistrate.

As for Liao Bocai and other scholars, who lost money and lost money this time, he lost his wife and lost his army.

Even more, no one dared to go to the county government to withdraw the money, so they could only eat the yellow lotus dumbly and stare at the new county magistrate.

Compared with a group of people who want to rely on money to buy officials, this new county magistrate has a background and strength.

On the first day of taking office, he resolutely announced the news of 'National Crowdfunding Road Construction' brought from the capital.

The court's affairs have always been one and the same.

If you ask merchants to pay, you must pay, and if you can't persuade them with good words, then you will be hard.

Merchant's wool is the best to shave compared to aristocratic power.

The official document was released, and after waiting for three days to see that the merchants in the county town had opinions and did not want to bleed, the new magistrate directly found a few typical ones to kill chickens and warn monkeys.

He copied other people's property by just laying a charge, and his behavior was simple and rude, scaring a group of merchants into quails.

One of them is a member of the Business Alliance.

When the crowdfunding official document was issued, Huo Chengyi asked the members of the business alliance to follow the lead to donate, but there were always one or two who were lucky to not listen.

In order to ensure the prestige of the business alliance, Huo Chengyi had to come forward to intercede with the new county magistrate to keep it.

Fortunately, he guessed correctly, the new magistrate is from the Seventh Prince, so this matter is easy to handle.

People are saved, but those who don't listen to the business alliance will be punished.

Back to summon the members of the business alliance, Huo Chengyi ruthlessly dismissed the disobedient member in front of everyone.

"The business alliance has the rules of the business alliance, and I think about the previous relationship. Now I will protect Wang Shi once, but according to the rules of the business alliance, Wang Shi will not obey the order to be dispatched, and will be expelled from the business alliance. From now on, he will no longer enjoy the treatment of a member of the business alliance. "

There are no rules and no circles. If the business alliance treaty is not strictly implemented, these small mistakes will be fatal damage to the business alliance in the future.

"After this incident, everyone has seen that our merchants have no chance to resist in the face of the power of the imperial court. The status of merchants and nobles is different. The establishment of a business alliance is not only mutual cooperation, but also unity..."

"Everyone gathers firewood and flames . Gao, I hope that everyone will not be disobedient or violate the business alliance treaty in the future. As long as everyone acts according to the rules, as the chairman of the business alliance, I will do my best to protect each member."

"Please do everything you do. One member remembers: the business alliance is the protective umbrella for everyone, and if you want to be rich and stable, let's keep this umbrella intact!" The

more the imperial court exploited the merchants, the more the business alliance was able to gather the hearts of the merchants.

Taking this opportunity, Huo Chengyi destroyed and reorganized the three views of the members of the business alliance.
