That night left an indelible memory for everyone in Beijing.

For a full half hour, the sky over the vast Jinling was filled with all kinds of beautiful fireworks.

What shocked the people of Shangjing the most was the hot air balloon flying in the sky and the people riding in it - people could actually use that thing to fly into the sky!

This undoubtedly overturned everyone's cognition, and the next day, the news spread throughout the capital.

That thing was created by the study of things and uses the principles of thermodynamics!

Few people could understand it, but it sounded very impressive, so a wave of studying things was set off again in the capital. The Jixia Academy decided to expand the Institute of Studying Things next year to recruit more students dedicated to studying things.

None of this has anything to do with Fu Xiaoguan.

He is very busy!

He was busy accompanying his three wives to their parents' homes, busy counting the wedding income, busy responding to His Majesty's questions for advice, and so on.

It was not until ten days later, on November 28th, that he finally had some free time.

"Son, I'm so happy to see you get married. I have to go back to Linjiang to tell your mother the news. If you can't spare the time, don't rush back for now. There's more important business to attend to."

"Dad, I always feel like you're hiding something from me."

Fu Daguan glared at him, "I have nothing to worry about, just some trivial matters. Alright, alright, the most important thing for you now is to have more children. Remember, among all the trivial things in the world, the only important thing is to continue the family line!"

Mr. Fu spoke in a low voice with a sly look in his eyes, but Su Su still heard it.

Su Su sat on the swing at Taoranting, her long legs swaying, but there was no other color in her eyes——

He got married!

One of the three wives is already pregnant!

He's going to be a father soon!

Su Su took a deep breath and waited for the senior brother to come back. It was time for me to leave too!

Fu Xiaoguan didn't notice Susu's abnormality. He sent Fu Daguan out the door. Just as the carriage left, Yu Wendao came over with a group of people.

What the hell!

Can you let me rest for a while?

Fu Xiaoguan was very depressed, and Yu Wendao was even more depressed than Fu Xiaoguan!

What the hell!

I am the fifteenth prince, and it is really difficult for me to see you!

I'm not here to borrow money from you, we're here to give you money, okay?

The money had not been delivered for ten days, which made Yu Wendao and others very depressed. They could not see Fu Xiaoguan. However, they had met Bai Yulian several times. They had a good chat with each other and learned more stories about Fu Xiaoguan from Bai Yulian.

This guy is not a human being!

The article "What is War?" he wrote in the Golden Palace last year was not just empty talk!

He applied that battle strategy to the Excalibur Special Forces, and developed powerful weapons at the Xishan Research Institute, including the red cannon that won the battle of the Eastern Frontier Army, and the firearms that became famous in the Battle of Pingling Mountain.

These things are the country's precious weapons, but now they are the private property of Fu Xiaoguan. Emperor Xuan is very greedy for these things and summoned Fu Xiaoguan several times just to equip these things to the border troops of the Yu Dynasty.

So, these things are all silver!

So this investment is imminent.

Luckily you came early today and blocked him at the door. You have nowhere to run.

Yu Wendao suddenly laughed, which made Fu Xiaoguan shudder. "I won't go to drink or eat, or listen to songs. In short, I'm not going anywhere now!"

What the hell are you thinking about?

Who wants to treat you to drinks, dinner and singing?

"Come on, come on, let's go into your house and talk about it. It's a big deal!"

At Taoranting, one table was too small to accommodate all the people, so Fu Xiaoguan had to ask his servants to bring out another table.

There were eight pots of charcoal fire and two tables of people. Wen Ruoxi thought it was very interesting, so she pulled Bai Yulian over to join in the fun.

She expressed her gratitude to Fu Xiaoguan from the bottom of her heart - such a handsome and powerful general could not be found even with a lantern or torch!

She glanced at Bai Yulian and felt even happier. It was just that this person was a little too shy. It might be related to the cultural differences between the two countries. The people of the Wu Dynasty were open-minded, but not as particular as those of the Yu Dynasty.

Dong Shulan and the other two came out to say hello, asked the servants to bring tea, vegetables and fruits, and then returned to the room.

…

Fu Xiaoguan did not know Xi Xi, the second daughter of the Xi family, and Xue Yuyan, the fifth daughter of the Xue family, who were brought by Yu Wendao, so he just took a look and his eyes fell on Yu Wendao's face.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yu Wendao didn't waste time and went straight to the point, "You are aware that your father is currently implementing a pilot reform program, initially targeting six counties.

Now your Xishan industry is operating normally in Yao County, and Pingling and Quyi counties are under construction. As for the other three counties, you have not taken any action yet.

Next year, my father will increase the number of pilot projects to 26, ten of which are in the two Yellow River regions, five in Lingnan region, and five in Shannan West region.

These are all poor and backward areas, and are counties that are in urgent need of boosting their economies, so the next step is to promote them with greater force.

Your Xishan industry is indeed possible, but the Queen Mother said that the scale of implementation is too large. Let alone 26 counties, even the current six counties, if you want to cover all of them with your Xishan industry, it will probably be difficult to sustain in terms of funding and personnel management.

So, I found some people, all of whom you know. One of these two daughters is Xi Xi, the second daughter of the Xi family. She was once your admirer, but she gave up the idea on the night of your wedding..."

Miss Xi's face suddenly turned red. She glared at the Fifth Prince and lowered her head.

Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose a little embarrassedly, thinking, is my brother out of fashion now?

"This one is Xue Yuyan, the fifth daughter of the Xue family. She doesn't like you. I heard that she likes...Bai Yulian!"

The Fifth Prince looked up at Bai Yulian, whose pretty face flushed. Fu Xiaoguan suddenly said, "What do you mean? You've come to me to act as a matchmaker? Let's get down to business!"

The girl's surname is Xue, the fifth daughter of the Xue family. Fu Xiaoguan doesn't want her to be involved with Bai Yulian.

At least not now when the situation is unclear!

The Fifth Prince and the others didn't notice this small detail. He smiled slyly and said, "Here's what we thought: you're short of money, and we have some private money. It's useless to keep it there anyway, so why not invest it in you and expand your Xishan business?"

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned. He had overlooked this point.

Capital pursues profit. Since the Yu Dynasty is vigorously implementing the new policy, it will naturally release huge benefits. As a pioneer, I should attract more funds to manage this matter.

Thus, the concept of Xishan Shares came into being.

However, Fu Xiaoguan did not express his opinion on the spot. Instead, he said, "This is a good thing, but I need to think it over carefully. So... give me two days. On the evening of December 1st, you can come back and I will draw up a proposal for everyone to discuss."
