In a hurry, Anguo Houfu finally ushered in the wedding of Liu Hongjian and Yang Xue two days ago.

Although he didn't do it in a big way, and he didn't invite too many guests, the emperor also gave enough face.

not only sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts, but also crowned Yang Xue as his wife.

After Liu Hong was gradually promoted to marquis, Sun Xiuxiu naturally became Mrs. Hou, and now even Na's second wife has become a fate, which shows the emperor's favor to Liu Hongji.

Liu Hong gradually became the prince's teacher, and Zhu Cihong naturally sent his subordinates to congratulate him, and the small wedding was extraordinarily grand.

After ups and downs, Yang Xue finally married the wishful husband in her mind, and she couldn't help but shed tears on the wedding day.

However, less than two days later, Liu Hongjian and Yang Xue's honeymoon was interrupted by an uninvited guest.

Feng Dunhou hurried from Xishan in a hurry, saying that there were many craftsmen from Beizhili, Shuntianfu and the villages of Huangzhuang from the Thousand Households of Long Live Mountain, and the scene was a little out of control.

As a last resort, Liu Hongjian had no choice but to get up from the gentle countryside and follow Feng Dunhou to Xishan.

West Mountain, Long Live Mountain Thousand Households.

After a five-day holiday, the soldiers of the Thousand Households had all returned as scheduled, and they had won a lot of silver after fighting outside for half a year.

With these rewards, the fathers and elders of the family can have a good year, drink water and think of the source, and the teenagers' sense of identity with the thousand households has been unprecedentedly improved, and they have more and more admiration and worship for Liu Hong.

In the past few days, there have been craftsmen from all over Beizhili and Shuntianfu who have come to respond to the call, as well as Minzhuang who have been collected from various Huangzhuang.

Although Liu Hong gradually ordered Minzhuang to only recruit from the Huangzhuang, and the craftsmen only accepted craftsmen in shifts, many craftsmen who were no longer in this range also wanted to try their luck.

The number of people gathered more and more, and today there are thousands of people.

Most of the soldiers of Rao is Thousand Households have come out to maintain order, but they are still a little stretched, there is no way, the young people are gradually influenced by Liu Hong on weekdays, and they can't bear to reprimand these bitter people.

"Master Hou is here, be quiet, be quiet!" Chen Mingyu stood on a high place, seeing Liu Hongjian and Feng Dunhou coming from a distance, and hurriedly maintained order.

When the people and craftsmen in front of the camp heard this, most of them stopped talking.

"Lao Chen, what's going on? Why are so many people here? Liu Hong gradually frowned.

"Lord Hou, the lower officials strictly obeyed the orders of Lord Hou, and only selected 500 Zhuang households who can build walls among the many imperial villages, as well as 1,500 people.

But so many people got errands, it was difficult to block the news, and the people around heard that there was a job to find here, and they all ran to try their luck, and the same was true for those craftsmen.

Alas, Lord Hou, the people are miserable, and there are those craftsmen, most of them are in rags, and they have not eaten the last meal. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Mingyu's eyes were red, many people had come here the day before yesterday to wait for requisition, due to the cold weather, plus the lack of dry food, several of them froze to death early this morning.

Liu Hong gradually listened to Chen Mingyu's statement, and his heart was also heavy.

In addition to building a large-scale comprehensive research institute, this recruitment will also build several cellars, and wait for the potatoes and sweet potatoes collected from the south to be transported for breeding and seedling raising.

According to the original plan, 500 wall builders, plus 1,500 people, were sufficient.

For the first phase of the project, Liu Hongjian did not plan to requisition too many craftsmen, after all, the research institute was not built well, and it was useless to recruit so many people.

But at present, there must be at least 3,000 ordinary people in front of the camp, and nearly 1,000 craftsmen have come.

Everyone looked at An Guohou Liu Hongjian on the high platform with blazing eyes, some of them knew that there were thousands of households in the Long Live Mountain, and some people knew that it was the young man in front of him who turned the tide and drove away the bandit-like peasant army.

They hope that this An Guohou can give them an errand, even if it is hard work, as long as they can survive and have something to eat, they are happy.

Seeing Liu Hongjian standing in front of the stage, he just frowned and didn't speak, and he didn't know where to start, and rows of people fell to the ground like waves.

They also knew that no matter how generous and merciful Hou Ye was to them, it would be impossible to recruit them all, and everyone was silent, just kneeling in the snow and waiting for Hou Ye's instructions.

The cold wind was blowing, but the front of the camp became extremely quiet, and the soldiers of the two thousand households were guarding all around, leaving only the hula sound of the cold wind blowing the battle robes.

Isn't that just 2,000 more?

It's a big deal that the first and second phases of the project started together.

The comprehensive research institute and cellar are the first and most sought-after, and the second phase also requires the construction of a textile workshop and a glass workshop.

The first two are for money, while the latter two are for money.

At present, the production process of Daming can only burn glass, although the West has produced glass, but both clarity and quality are very poor.

Although he is not a chemical engineering major, but the firing of glass is not a high-end, not to mention that the light industry foundation is also mentioned, than the gourd painting scoop, Liu Honggradually believes that when his glass is produced, it will definitely cause a sensation.

Then there is the textile workshop, with the 'Piaget spinning machine', the spinning speed is more than ten times faster, which is a business opportunity.

After the workshop was built, it was necessary to recruit workers, and in order to make it easier for the workers to live after work, they had to build houses in Xishan.

In addition, Liu Hongjian also intended to take over the families of the brothers of the Thousand Households and arrange them together, first, to facilitate care, to visit relatives without having to travel long distances home, and secondly, when the textile workshop was built, these women could also have an errand.

In this way, it would cost a lot of money to build so many projects, Liu Hong gradually thought secretly.

Although the emperor had said that the cost of the research institute and cellar could be reported directly to the household department, Liu Honggradually did not intend to incorporate these properties into the imperial court.

First, once the workshop became public, just like those GuoQi in later generations, corruption was rampant, and a large enterprise was able to lose enough to need ZF to subsidize heavily under the redundancy of the organization, which completely changed its taste.

Second, the silver is from the imperial court, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of consideration in the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and it will not be handy.

And most importantly, in addition to solving the problem of feeding these poor people by the way, these workshops will be a cornucopia of money in the future.

There is also the research institute that is going to be built, and the development of new artillery, guns, and ammunition in the future will all require the drawings in Liu Hongji's hands, which are all confidential and must be firmly grasped in his own hands.

Among his marquis' mansions, there were 1.2 million taels of wool hidden by the emperor after returning from Shanxi, plus 400,000 taels of wool that Chongzhen rewarded him, a total of 1.6 million taels.

It costs money to hire craftsmen, people, and workers, and it costs money to use equipment, bricks, tiles, wood, etc., as well as food, although his family is rich.

But I don't know how long it can last, and when there is no money, it's a big deal to find someone to join, but the control must be in your own hands.

Thinking about this, Liu Honggradually finally made up his mind.

He cleared his throat and motioned for the people to get up.
