Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 426: The sudden change and the arrival of the princess
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Chen Jie spent the whole day with his wife and children. At the same time, the capable men under Chen Jie's command in Huangzhou Prefecture also arranged their work and returned on this day.

Chen Jie rarely looked so leisurely. He chatted and laughed with the two ladies during the day.

It is really relaxing to do some small exercises that are beneficial to the body and mind in the evening and express feelings at the same time.

Compared with the bloody storm outside, Huangzhou Prefecture is simply a safe haven.

But Chen Jie also understood that this safety was only temporary. It was precisely because he had experienced bloody storms outside and fought to the death with others that he could ensure the peace of Huangzhou Prefecture and the safety of his family.

So there are some things that you can’t just not do if you don’t want to.

The more trouble you cause outside, the safer your home will be. This is what Chen Jie has to do now.

Comfort is only temporary, and conflict is the main theme. In such a chaotic world, we must not slack off and must forge ahead courageously.

At the White Tiger Army garrison in Huangzhou Prefecture, Chen Jiusi climbed onto the high platform and gave a courageous speech to the 10,000 elite White Tiger soldiers below.

I heard the soldiers below applauding enthusiastically.

It was already the third day. Chen Jie convened all the leadership teams of Huangzhou Prefecture and began his planning for the next two years for Huangzhou Prefecture, including the heads of the military, politics, economy, culture, education, science and technology, and other aspects.

Those participating in the conference included military leaders.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the entire army, the commander of the White Tiger Army Chen Xiaohu, the commander of the Azure Dragon Army Jin Yanzi, the commander of the Suzaku Army Wu Daojun, the commander of the City Defense Army Zhou Chu, the chief of staff Bai Mosheng and others!
The main political person in charge is also the head of the civil service group.

The chief of Huangzhou Prefecture was Sixi, the deputy chief was Hu Weiyong, the chief of the Inspection Department was Wu Hong, and the chief security officer of the six prefectures was Zhang Liye.

The main person in charge of the economy.

Shen Wansan, the chief economist of Huangzhou Prefecture and the richest man in Jiangnan, as well as representatives of the business alliance under his command and representatives of manufacturers in Huangzhou Prefecture.

The main person in charge of education and culture.

That is, the person in charge of each college. In theory, Chen Jiusi also holds the position of Minister of Education, but in reality, the Deputy Minister is Mrs. Su Yunjin.

However, Su Yunjin did not attend this occasion, so the heads of each major college joined the meeting as representatives of their colleges.

Next up is technology.

In terms of science and technology, Chen Jie has made the fastest progress, and the main leaders of the Academy of Sciences have also arrived.

He is the Director of the Ministry of Works of Huangzhou Prefecture, Tao Guangyi. He is also the focus of Chen Jie's attention, because he was very famous in history. He was the first Chinese to fly into space, and Wan Hu was this person.

His favorite subject to study was gunpowder.

And he proposed many gunpowder principles that were far ahead of this era.

For example, the theory of gunpowder propulsion.

After reading this article, Chen Jie was deeply touched. He had to say that this person had a very good brain, especially when it came to gunpowder.

He said that the explosion of gunpowder can generate enormous force in an instant, and if this force can be directed in one direction, it will become a huge force.

It can even split mountains and rocks.

After seeing this, Chen Jie found Tao Guangyi and gave him an idea, that is, whether it is possible to put the gunpowder into an iron pipe, block one end, and leave the other end as the direction of firing.

Tao Guangyi was deeply shocked and immediately designed the Huangzhou No. 1 Fire Gun.

However, after this musket was designed, there was a problem: it only produced sparks but had no lethality.

Tao Guangyi hurriedly asked Chen Jie what to do.

Chen Jie immediately came up with a solution, which was to mix iron sand into the gunpowder.

Iron sand splashes and injures people.

Tao Guangyi immediately went back to conduct experiments and reported back that the lethality was still unsatisfactory and the range was very far.

Chen Jie proposed the compaction theory, which means that the gunpowder should be compacted more and the air tightness should be strengthened.

After such improvements, the Huangzhou No. 2 Fire Gun was born. Its lethality is still considerable. Iron sand can be sprayed out within fifty meters. However, this is a bit close for a bow and arrow, and it is still being improved.

The Huangzhou No. 3 musket is currently being improved.

Tao Guangyi also attended the meeting this time.

Another is the Huangzhou medical system.

Two leading figures from Huangzhou Prefecture’s medical system were dispatched.

One is the current Huangzhou Prefecture Medical Director Bai Wenjing and Deputy Director Liu Yishou.

The two are currently in charge of all medical clinics in Huangzhou Prefecture, and with the encouragement of Chen Jie, they established the first medical school in Huangzhou Prefecture, which specializes in training doctors on a large scale.

In this way, Chen Jie basically gathered all the important people under his command and began his future planning for Huangzhou Prefecture.

The first is: expand the army, and continue to expand the army. Currently, the elite army has only more than 30,000 people, which is too few and not enough to cope with future situations.

Therefore, Chen Jie's goal is to expand the three elite legions to 60,000 people within two years, with 20,000 people in each legion, and the recruitment standards must not be lowered and they must be the elite among the elite.

In fact, if the standards are lowered, Chen Jie can form an army of hundreds of thousands in minutes, but too many cannon fodders are useless.

In addition, following the expansion of the main army, we will also have to prepare corresponding policies such as the expansion of the reserve army and the city defense army.

Moreover, Chen Jie was also planning to establish the fourth main army, the Xuanwu Army, in two years. Chen Jie had already chosen the commander, and that was Du Xiong.

Moreover, Chen Jie also has some ideas about the construction of the Xuanwu Legion. It cannot be an ordinary legion in the traditional sense. Chen Jie wants to build a new type of legion.

The second is: stock up on food!

Now the agricultural output of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture is not just good, but very good. It is extremely good.

The reservoir ensures a stable harvest regardless of drought or flood. In addition, officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture are cultivating new seeds. Moreover, at the request of Chen Jie, the overseas department of the Ministry of Commerce is exploring the Nanyang and nearby islands to see if they can find two high-yield crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

As long as these two things are found, the food supply in Huangzhou Prefecture will be greatly increased.

Of course, even if there are no high-yield crops like sweet potatoes at present, Huangzhou Prefecture's irrigation and large-scale agriculture still have great potential, allowing Chen Jie to stockpile a large amount of food. When the world is in chaos in the future, the most expensive thing will definitely be food, so the agricultural foundation is very important.

The third is: expanding the business model.

This was a request to Shen Wansan, which mainly included two aspects: opening up the northern market and business in many islands in Southeast Asia in exchange for more useful materials and collecting more funds to supply the subsequent high-level development of Huangzhou Prefecture.

Fourth is: politics.

At present, the six prefectures of Huangzhou Prefecture are developing very well, and the people from Suizhou and other places close to Huangzhou Prefecture also yearn to join the development of the six prefectures of Huangzhou. Chen Jie welcomes this and welcomes people from all places to join and prosper the population.

It can also expand domestic demand, which is of great benefit to the development of the entire market.

Fifth: Education
Education is the future of Huangzhou Prefecture. Chen Jie proposed to promote primary schools to the village level and vigorously cultivate a new generation of forces. Then, crash courses should be added and other young graduates should be arranged to work at the grassroots level.

The position of deputy village chief was set up in each village, and given to the graduates from the school to intern there as soon as possible. Then, after two years, the original village chief would be replaced, thus completing Chen Jie's comprehensive grasp of the grassroots.

Sixth: Medical care.

A traditional Chinese medicine clinic must be built in every county in Huangzhou Prefecture, and the enrollment of medical students must be expanded. Bai Wenjing and others must increase the training of medical forces, and focus on cultivating first aid knowledge such as trauma bandaging, in preparation for war.

Seventh: Technology.

The science and technology department needs to improve the plan for the musket and produce a new musket with a range of less than 100 meters within two years. Chen Jie also proposed a plan for a grenade and a cannon.

Huangzhou Prefecture’s development foundation is too shallow, so it can only focus on firearms.

With the current power of firearms, the new musket can at most threaten those at the Muscle and Bones Realm, and a grenade cannot kill those at the Hua Jin level. The other thing is artillery. Unless a Hua Jin person is stupid enough to take on the artillery, there will be no danger.

This is the barrier to the development of firearms.

This world is still dominated by martial arts, and currently firearms can only make up for the lack of low-end combat power.

However, Chen Jie had seen the terrible firearms of later generations, the World Peace Mushroom Egg. Chen Jie didn't know if the immortals on land could withstand one shot. Anyway, he couldn't resist it now in his current state of melting gods.

Therefore, the Ministry of Science and Technology must focus on development, as the future belongs to science and technology.

In addition to these there are related development plans, a total of twenty-four, also known as two-year plans, twenty-four items.

After Chen Jie completed these systematic plans, he took the participants to visit the military camp representatives and the White Tiger Army.

And delivered important speeches, which are the ones that Chen Jie just mentioned.

After all this was said, Chen Jie looked at Hu Weiyong, who was arranging the affairs, and said, "Old Hu, what's next?"

Hu Weiyong immediately said after hearing this: "It should be a visit from the government department."

Chen Jie nodded and looked at Si Xi and said, "Si Xi, take a look at your government affairs department."

As he spoke, Chen Jie took Hu Weiyong and his party to the government departments to express their condolences. Si Xi, on behalf of the government departments, provided a full reception. Chen Jie met the relevant persons in charge of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Taxation, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Inspection, and gave corresponding encouragement.

After the relevant comforting measures were taken, Chen Jie was taken to Huangzhou First College.

Chen Jie is also the principal of this college. As soon as he arrived at the college, he saw his classmates cheering and giving him a warm welcome.

Looking at these sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys full of vigor and vitality, Chen Jie felt excited and felt that the future was in the hands of these people.

These students were also quite enthusiastic, shouting slogans such as "Long live the principal."

Chen Jie waved to them and then gave a large speech to several thousand people in the campus square.

The content of the speech is "Young Huangzhou Talk"

If the youth are strong, Huangzhou will be strong; if the youth are wise, Huangzhou will be wise...

After the passionate speech, the students became even more fanatical. They already regarded Chen Jie as their only leader. Whoever dared to provoke Chen Jie in the future would surely face the most terrifying counterattack!

The group hurriedly passed through the academy and then arrived at the medical school. At this time in the medical school, Chen Jie told these medical students that they were heroes who saved lives and healed the wounded, and the lives of three million people in the six prefectures of Huangzhou depended on them.

As these students spoke, their blood was overflowing, and each of them wished they could die for Huangzhou Prefecture.

Chen Jie looked at these excited students and knew in his heart that competing for the number one in martial arts is a one-person thing. As long as you defeat Zhang Sanfeng and Ba Siba, you can become the supreme martial artist in the world.

But if you want to be the emperor, you can't do without the support of the people.

It is harder to conquer the world than to be the best in martial arts.

Chen Jie wants to be the best in martial arts, and he also wants to change the world and become the supreme emperor, so Chen Jie has to grasp both and be strong in both. …

clap clap!

Huangzhou Prefecture's Department of Science and Technology, a place where no one is allowed to enter normally, had a bunch of people enter today.

They were accompanying the real master of Huangzhou Prefecture to inspect this future key development area.

Chen Jie was holding a single-barreled musket in his hand at this time. He took the gunpowder barrel handed to him by Tao Guangyi. The gunpowder barrel was made by drilling a hole in a cow horn to make it convenient to pour gunpowder into the barrel.

Chen Jie took the gunpowder poke rod, poured gunpowder into it, added iron sand, then took a long iron rod with a cotton cloth plug and inserted it into the barrel to compact the gunpowder.

Then he used a torch to light the fuse at the target fifty meters away.

Snapped!
With a gunshot, the wine jar fifty meters away was blown up.

"it is good!"

Seeing its power, many people applauded. Although the power of this fire gun was average and useless against powerful warriors, it would still pose some threat to warriors below the level of Hua Jin.

This is very useful for ordinary soldiers.

Chen Jie frowned slightly. Tao Guangyi looked at Chen Jie and said, "My lord, what are you dissatisfied with?"

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "There are actually many areas where this musket can be improved."

"I have a suggestion for you. This kind of ox horn gunpowder is not accurate enough. We can set a standard and wrap the gunpowder and iron sand with kraft paper. This way, we can fire one package at a time during combat, which is more accurate."

After hearing this, Tao Guangyi said: "Well, that's a good idea."

Chen Jie continued, "Also, the ignition procedure is too complicated and not suitable for one person to operate. See if you can change it so that it can be fired without ignition."

Tao Guangyi frowned and said, "How can we ignite the gunpowder without fire? This is impossible."

Chen Jie said: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be done, you see."

Chen Jie snapped his fingers as he spoke, and the next moment, flames appeared on his fingers. Tao Guangyi said, "The lord is very powerful and can start a fire out of thin air, but the soldiers can't."

Chen Jie said: "I am not trying to show off my martial arts skills to you, but to tell you a truth. There are many things in nature that can start fires."

"Let me ask you, how do ordinary people make fire and cook?"

Tao Guangyi said: "Use a fire stick."

Chen Jie asked: "What about before the fire?"

"flint!"

Tao Guangyi's eyes lit up and he instantly thought of a possibility. Flint stones can produce flames when they collide with each other. If so, wouldn't it be necessary to use two pieces of flint?

He felt like he was starting to grow up smarter. Just a word of advice from Chen Jiusi allowed him to see the sun and the moon through the clouds.

Chen Jie looked at Tao Guangyi like this, smiled and said: "Wait, don't leave yet, there is a third point."

Chen Jie said: "Third, the gunpowder also needs to be improved. What is the ratio of saltpeter, sulfur, and carbon in the gunpowder now?"

"Each in equal amounts."

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "One to one ratio is not good. You can try one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, and three parts carbon, and then try to eliminate impurities and improve the quality of gunpowder."

"One nitre, two sulphur, and three charcoal."

After listening to Chen Jie's words, Tao Guangyi fell into a state of madness. He felt that he was about to develop the most powerful gunpowder in the world. He now had an urge to abandon Chen Jie and immediately ask the Ministry of Industry to conduct research.

Looking at Tao Guangyi like this, Chen Jie knew in his heart that his men would be able to be equipped with flintlock rifles soon!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jie visited the steel plant under the Ministry of Industry.

The steel plant is also the most important part of Chen Jie's future military industrial system. The best blacksmiths were invited here, and the steel-making method was improved, adopting the blast furnace iron-making method.

The large-scale smelting is much better than the small blacksmith shops of the past.

There is also a weapons manufacturing plant under the steel plant, which is responsible for the weapons supply of all the troops under Chen Jie's command and can produce qualified swords with guaranteed quality and quantity.

After this round of inspection, Chen Jie saw that the entire Huangzhou Prefecture was thriving, and also saw the future war potential of Huangzhou Prefecture. Now Chen Jie only needs to wait for the opportunity, and then there will be a possibility of soaring to the sky.

Development must be rapid, and no one can affect the development potential of Huangzhou Prefecture now.

However, Huangzhou Prefecture also has its own fatal weaknesses, that is, there are too few Wudang strongmen, or Huangzhou Prefecture's foundation is not enough. If Huangzhou Prefecture is given twenty years, Chen Jie is sure to train five or six people in the Melting God Realm, a dozen people in the Furnace Realm, and even countless people in the Dragon Realm.

But Chen Jie didn’t have time. In twenty years, he might not even have five years.

Why did Chen Jie make a two-year plan instead of a five-year plan?
The reason is that the time before war, which means chaos in the world, is less than five years away.

Therefore, all of Chen Jie's current policies are leaning towards the military, with the goal of pacifying the country first.

After Chen Jie finished his tour of today's events, it was already very dark. Chen Jie was escorted back to the mansion. The two ladies immediately came to greet him, and Chen Jie had a comfortable dinner.

At night, Chen Jie stayed in Su Yunjin's room.

When he was hugging his soft wife and falling into a dream, torches were suddenly lit outside. The torches were bright, and Chen Jie's spiritual perception was far beyond that of ordinary people. He felt the movement outside and turned over and sat up.

Su Yunjin was also awakened, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong, husband?"

Chen Jie said: "It's okay, you go to sleep first."

As Chen Jie said this, he got up and put on his clothes. Su Yunjin couldn't sleep, so he also sat up and put on his clothes.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Chen Jie was stunned and asked, "Who?"

"Master, I am Chen Chun."

Chen Jie was stunned and said, "Well, Chen Chun, what's the matter?"

Chen Chun immediately said, "Master, the princess is here."

"what!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie and Su Yunjin were both stunned, and then their faces were filled with shock. What was going on? Why would the princess come here in the middle of the night? Did she elope?

That's not right. The timing of elopement is also very strange, and Chen Jie is about to pick her up. Why did she risk her life to come here at this time?
If Prince Ruyang knew about this, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie was also puzzled. The princess was not someone who didn't know the importance of things, so how could she risk coming here? There must be something wrong here.

At this time, Su Yunjin came to Chen Jie and said, "My husband, the princess is here. No matter what, you can't avoid her."

"Besides, my husband is also going to pick up the princess, so now is the perfect time to meet."

Chen Jie hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Yunjin.

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Jie said: "Come with me to take a look."

Su Yunjin said, "Since the princess is here, I won't accompany her. No matter what, I'll have to entertain her first. It's so late, she must have not eaten. I'll go and arrange for her to eat."

Chen Jie looked at his sensible wife and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my lady."

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "Why are you so hardworking? I can't help you too much, so I can only help you with these things. It's all my duty. Go quickly, don't let the princess wait anxiously."

Chen Jie nodded and immediately opened the door.

Outside the door, Chen Chun was already waiting, and the noise also woke up Yin Hongmei and Cui Ju who were sleeping in the next room. The two servants came to Chen Jie's room.

Chen Jie, wearing his clothes, asked Chen Chun: "Where are the people?"

Chen Chun said: "Wait in the White Tiger Hall."

Chen Jie said: "Well, lead the way."

As he spoke, Chen Chun led a group of servants towards Baihu Hall, holding a lantern.

At this time, Su Yunjin said to Yin Hongmei and Cuiju, "Hongmei, go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare some food. It should be quick and not too elaborate."

"Chrysanthemum, go make some tea and prepare some seasonal fruits. Don't neglect the guests."

"Yes."

Yin Hongmei went to the kitchen immediately. The kitchen of the Chen Mansion was on 24 hours a day, the stove was always hot, and the chef was always ready, so the dishes were soon prepared.

At this time, Chen Jie had already arrived at Baihu Hall.

As soon as he entered the White Tiger Hall, Chen Jie was stunned, because there was not only the princess who came with her, but also Wang Baobao.

You should know that Chen Jie and Wang Baobao don't get along well.

But at this time, Chen Jie saw that they were exhausted and looked a little disheveled, and it was obvious that they had experienced something.

At this time Chen Jie looked at the princess.

The princess looked much thinner than before. She was sitting there feeling anxious and restless, but when she saw Chen Jie coming, she calmed down.

Wang Baobao also looked extremely worried. When he saw Chen Jie, his originally proud eyes dimmed a lot.

You know, in the past, Wang Baobao always looked at Chen Jie with arrogance and condescension, but now it is obviously different.

Looking at the two of them like this, Chen Jie clearly felt that something had happened, but what could have happened in such a huge Ruyang Palace?

For the time being, Chen Jie could not imagine anything that could threaten the existence of the Ruyang Palace.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie came up to the princess and asked, "Yaya, why are you here?"

Chen Jie simply chose to ignore Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao's face looked a little ugly, but he was still smiling.

At this time, Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie with a trace of loneliness and sociability on his face and said, "Jiu Si, my father may have been in trouble!"

"What, something happened to Prince Ruyang?"

Chen Jie was also surprised by this, and immediately frowned and said, "What's going on, Yaya, tell me slowly!"
