Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Finally, someone was found to study nitroglycerin, and something big came to Hou Yao's mind.

In addition to this matter, research on transformers is also being carried out.

He also had to take charge of the construction of water pipes into households and the planning of urban sewers.

So busy, so busy.

The most irritating thing is that everything has been done in Bao'an County, and Guangzhou is also joining in the fun.

The highways between the two places have long been built, and with bicycles, you can go back and forth in two hours.

Relying on his status as Hou Yao's teacher, He Jianzhong brought people to Bao'an County every day to catch the autumn wind, saying that he wanted to learn from Bao'an County's advanced governance experience.

In fact, I came here to keep an eye on the relocation industry in Baoan County.

Due to the shortage of manpower in Bao'an County, Hou Yao moved some industries with low technical content and too much labor to surrounding counties.

Dongguan County, Guishan County, and Boluo County are all major locations. Any area where Baoan's industries have been relocated has taken off economically and prospered.

Because of the Guangzhou Defense War, Guangzhou was the first place to build a highway to Baoan County.

However, they have almost no share in the industrial transfer. As the capital of Guangdong, it is embarrassing enough for Guangzhou to be surpassed by its subordinate Baoan County.

But who let the county magistrate of Bao'an be Hou Yao, a genius?

He Jianzhong accepted it since he couldn't defeat Hou Yao. Now he is left behind by small counties like Dongguan, Guishan and Boluo. If my uncle can endure it, how can my aunt endure it?

So after learning from the pain, He Jianzhong took the risk.

I decided to go to Baoan County every day to catch up on any properties that were ready to be relocated.

Most of the industries that were relocated before were those that required a lot of manpower, such as textile factories, carton factories, paper mills, breeding factories, etc.

The production efficiency of these factories has now been greatly improved compared to the level of this era, but they still rely on a large amount of manpower to build production capacity.

Hou Yao's original purpose of developing these industries was to resettle the idle population in the county.

Now that there is basically no idle population in the county, it would be meaningless to continue working on these industries.

So this year, he has ordered the relocation of these low-level factories to surrounding counties.

The workers vacated by these industries are being replenished in other industries that are short of manpower.

Most of the male workers in the paper mill went to the construction site, while the female workers in the textile factory joined the service industry in the city.

At the same time, the new water plant also requires a large number of employees to do cleaning and sanitation work.

When the transformer project is completed and electricity becomes available, more factory projects will be spawned. The current manpower is indeed too tight.

It is only a matter of time that the existing Baoan industries will be relocated on a large scale.

At noon, Hou Yao just returned to the Yamen from the electrical transformer research studio. As soon as he entered the door, he was blocked by He Jianzhong.

"Jieqiu is back. I've been waiting for you for two hours."

Hou Yao smiled bitterly:

"Master, what news did you hear today? Didn't I already tell you? If there are any projects to be transferred, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

He Jianzhong has been coming to him every now and then to verify some gossip he heard from nowhere.

Although they were all rumors, he didn't care about them and he worked hard to develop Guangzhou.

"Jieqiu, I heard that you plan to move the bicycle factory to another place, right?"

Hou Yao was shocked. If the news heard by He Jianzhong before was all groundless and false news, this time the news was on target.

In fact, this is what he had just thought about in the past two days.

Although the bicycle factory is a new enterprise, its technical content is not high, and the production of various accessories is very troublesome and very labor-intensive, especially young and strong labor.

What Baoan County is most lacking now is the young and strong labor force. There are too many construction projects and it is simply too busy.

It's just that the bicycle factory is a new one and has just been put into production. If he really moves out now, the loss will be huge, and this is only an idea he had just now.

That is, yesterday morning, I talked to Chen Yu while having dinner at home.

Since Yu Xiuer had no time to take care of the property, Chen Yu and Luo Yan, who were closest to her, basically replaced her as the general managers of Hou Yao's personal property.

Ji Wenjun has her own business, but she is not very interested in it now. Instead, she is more willing to help Hou Yao win over the families of important people in Bao'an County.

Jiang Qizheng's wife Huang, Zhou Sheng's wife Zhao, Liu Qianhong, the biological mother of Zhou De's son, Guo Ming's wife, Wei Daxing's daughter-in-law, etc. are all her close poker friends. Who are the important people who are well known?

Yu Xiuer was completely incomparable in this regard. She only knew the people she often saw around her.

Hou Yao couldn't remember whether he explicitly told Chen Yu not to spread the news when he told Chen Yu about it yesterday.

But regardless of whether he said it or not, rumors are now spreading that if it's not him, it must be her.

"Teacher, where did you get the news? This bicycle factory is still a new industry, how can it be moved now?"

He Jianzhong said with a face of assurance: "Jieqiu, of course I have the exact source of the information. If the source is not reliable, I would be embarrassed to come to you."

Hou Yao thought for a while, it was not a solution to be blocked by him like this every day. Anyway, everything was leaked, so he agreed to forget it.

"Oh, okay. You go and talk to the general manager of the bicycle factory. I'll have someone go and notify him later."

He Jianzhong was so excited that he couldn't contain himself: "Okay, don't worry, as long as the bicycle factory moves here, we will not let you suffer losses. I know that the bicycle factory has just started production, so don't worry, I will cover all losses."

Hou Yao smiled bitterly and said: "My mentor, you are here in person. If it were someone else, I would be too lazy to talk to him."

He Jianzhong left with satisfaction. Hou Yao was so angry. He thought Chen Yu was calm and steady, but he didn't expect that he was a talker.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Yu inspected various industries. As soon as he pushed his bicycle back to the Yamen, Hou Yao asked with raised eyebrows:

"What happened to you? Didn't I tell you not to spread the word? How did you make it known to everyone?"

Chen Yu said with a puzzled expression:

"What is the young master talking about? Why can't I understand it well?"

Hou Yao frowned even more: "Someone came to me about the bicycle factory. I only told you about it. You didn't tell it. Did I tell it myself? Why can't I say it? Doorkeeper?"

After saying that, he left without looking at Chen Yu's face.

Chen Yu stood blankly for a long time with a confused face. She had not confided a word about this matter to anyone, and she suddenly felt that she had nowhere to express her grievances.

……

In mid-May, the transformer was successfully developed and the hydroelectric station built together with the water plant was equipped with generator sets.

At Xu time on May 25th, that is, at seven o'clock in the evening, it is just when the sun has just set.

Usually at this time, most ordinary people are busy washing up and getting ready to go to bed. If it were any later, it would be completely dark.

But today, the most important figures in Baoan County gathered at the top of Sihaiban, all anxiously waiting for the moment that Hou Yao said would be recorded in history.

In the core area sat Hou Yao's family. Everyone came, including He Jinghui, Miao Siniang and other core members of the Tianwu Gang.

At this time, it was still a moment away from the agreed time to open the gate and send electricity. The sky and the earth were gradually getting dark, and many people's homes had already lit up oil lamps, emitting sparks.

He Jinghui was tired of waiting and complained: "Boy, it's already dark today. When exactly will the important moment you mentioned witnessing history happen?"

Hou Yao was peeling lychees for Yu Xiuer, who had a big belly. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't be anxious. The scheduled time is at [-]:[-] a.m., just wait a little longer."

He Jinghui said angrily: "Tell me first, what exactly is going on that leads to such a big battle in a mysterious way."

Hou Yao smiled: "Please forgive me for being pretentious. It's difficult to explain this kind of thing just by talking about it. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's hard for you to imagine the shocking scene. It only lasts for a quarter of an hour. Don't be impatient. In short, today is an important day for mankind to defeat darkness. Such an important moment will definitely be recorded in history."

Hou Tianzong also looked at Hou Yao with curiosity. He also wanted to know what Hou Yao said about that important day when mankind defeated darkness.

"Yao'er, now there are one every half mile on the main streets in County An City. You wouldn't build so many iron pillars for no reason. Does the victory over darkness you talk about have something to do with those new pillars?"

Hou Yao nodded and said: "Grandpa, you are still very observant, and it is indeed related to it, but those are just external public constructions. In addition to those, there are also constructions that go deep into every family. That is the most important thing. From now on There will no longer be any difference between human day and night.”

Hou Tianzong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Grandpa is really old. It's hard to imagine what kind of scene you are talking about."

Ji Qianhui saw Hou Tianzong's frustrated look and couldn't help but joked: "Tianzong, you have always boasted of your ingenuity and ingenuity, why do you show yourself like this in front of your grandson? Now you know what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world, right?"

Hou Tianzong squeezed Ji Qianhui's hand and was about to speak when Hou Miao next to him shouted loudly: "Grandpa Zu, when I grow up, I will definitely be smarter than my father. I will help you get your place back."

Everyone burst into laughter. At this moment, a messenger from the Baoan Army came to report to Hou Yao: "Your Majesty, the indicator light in the computer room is on."

Hou Yao stood up immediately and said: "Okay, now I announce that the switch is closed and the power is sent."

Then in an instant, the pillars on both sides of the streets in Bao'an City, as well as key buildings such as the Yamen and Sihaiban Building, all lit up with white light.

Dozens of fluorescent lamps hanging on the roof of Sihaiban were also lit at the same time. These holy lights illuminated the bustling areas of Bao'an City like daylight.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. No matter how they imagined it before, it was not as shocking as when they actually saw it.

He Jinghui said dullly: "How can this... be the same as the sun..."

Hou Tianzong also said in shock: "This is... really a victory over darkness, a real victory over darkness."

Only Ji Wenjun said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Death Hou Yao, the light bulbs I showed you before were not as bright or as white as the current light bulbs."

Yu Xiuer said excitedly: "Wow, as long as you turn on the light from now on, you will never be afraid of the dark again."

Just when everyone was immersed in the shock of the day-like night, a woman wearing a maid's costume slowly approached Hou Yao... .
