"By the way, there are still too few craftsmen in the Instrument Division, now that there are enough silver taels, more people should be recruited, Chen Qi, this matter will be left to you, skilled craftsmen can't be found, but you can find some apprentices, the most important thing is to be as interested in these techniques as you are." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Before leaving, Xiao Ming said to Chen Qi that although Chen Wenlong is a soldier, his thinking is still a little rigid, and he is far less open than a young man like Chen Qi.

It's okay for him to be in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the Instrument Division, but now it's his turn to teach the technology and Chen Qi, and the gap is not ordinarily big.

Chen Qi nodded vigorously, being appreciated by King Qi, which was a great honor for an ordinary craftsman who had no merit in his body.

Seeing Xiao Ming away, Chen Qi stood at the door of the equipment division and was stupid, and he said to his father: "Dad, our Royal Highness is still very reasonable." ”

"This is now, if it had been before, you kid would have to eat a board." Chen Wenlong raised his foot and kicked Chen Qi's ass.

Chen Qi dodged, immediately dodged, and said with a smile: "Dad, I am now a dignified craftsman, you can't say that I don't learn and have no skills, you see how much our Royal Highness attaches importance to our equipment division, I think there is a lot to be done in the future." ”

Chen Wenlong blew his beard and stared, he had a son in his old age, and he naturally doted on Chen Qi, so he allowed Chen Qi to study these strange things, but he didn't expect this kid to have such an encounter today, and it can be regarded as the green smoke from the ancestral tomb.

In this way, when he resigns from the post of Bing Cao, Chen Qi has a great hope of inheriting.

He said: "Since Your Highness attaches so much importance to you, you must not live up to Your Highness's expectations, I have observed these days, you do have this endowment, go, I will leave the matter of this blast furnace to you, I am only responsible for the procurement and income and expenditure of the Equipment Division." ”

"Dad, don't worry." Chen Qi said excitedly, his father meant to let him do it.

……

The snow in Qingzhou City was still falling, and the wind was blowing, like a dandelion rising in the wind, but after a while, Xiao Ming's body was covered with a layer of snow clothes.

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu followed closely behind Xiao Ming on horseback, vigilantly observing the surroundings from time to time.

The last assassination made the atmosphere of the entire Qingzhou City still a little solemn.

The most annoying thing about this matter was Lu Fei, the assassination in Qingzhou City he guarded was a shame for him, so he explained to the two of them that he couldn't let King Qi have any mistakes.

Xiao Ming felt Zhao Long and Zhao Hu's nervousness.

It was a barbaric age, and the law could only be trampled on by the strong.

If you want to be free, you need to be strong.

He is not a person with strong ambitions, but he also understands that when the fief is strong, he is safer.

Therefore, he didn't want to get involved in the political whirlpool of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, he just wanted to make a fortune quietly, live a leisure life, farm fields, engage in industry, and make his territory a rich place.

Of course, if someone wants to ruin the life they want, he doesn't mind turning from a sheep into a waking lion and tearing the other person to pieces.

The last assassination may have come from his siblings, or some other person with ulterior motives.

Xiao Ming is not angry about this, because anger without strength is meaningless, and this is also the price that a prince must bear.

It is better to pursue this matter in vain, and it is better to focus on construction, and not to mess up because of this stimulus.

"Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, do you remember where this king's land is?"

The palace was really boring, and the pothos and aster were mostly embroidering when they were free, and he didn't want to bother, at this time, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be a big landowner, and there was a large piece of land outside Qingzhou City.

Each prince of the Great Yu Kingdom has his own land, and he, the vassal king, is of course no exception.

Zhao Long was a year older than Zhao Hu, and the two of them were also better at words, he said: "Your Highness, your land in Qingzhou City is the richest, just on both sides of the Yang River in the north of the city, but these lands have not been cultivated, and they are still a large wasteland. ”

Xiao Ming nodded, it is true, after a large piece of land was demarcated, Xiao Ming didn't do anything about production, and he didn't bother to take care of it, and these lands have been barren until now.

"Let's go, accompany this king to have a look." Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness, this heavy snow has closed the road, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to go outside the city at this time." Zhao Hu said worriedly, Zhao Hu didn't say much, but every time he was very short.

Xiao Ming was excited because of the matter of Tian Property, but he couldn't care about his advice.

If he remembered correctly, the standard of land for the vassal king of the Great Yu Kingdom was one hundred hectares.

These acres and acres are almost the same as in modern times, that is to say, he has 10,000 acres of land, which is equivalent to a five-mile long and wide area, and the area is not small.

In the country of Dayu, there is an imperial village, and the official land and the private land are divided, and his land belongs to the imperial village.

It's still winter, and if he takes advantage of a winter to reclaim these wastelands, his estate will be able to sow seeds tomorrow in the spring.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn't suppress his mood to go, because he also thought of a policy that could reduce Qingzhou's finances, and he said to the two: "Call Captain Lu and bring some soldiers, so it's safe after all." ”

Zhao Hu nodded, "This shouldn't be a big problem, I'm just worried that I'll meet bandits." ”

"Well, what you reminded is that this year the king ordered to reduce taxes and open up wasteland, hoping that this bandit rebellion will be less." Xiao Ming frowned slightly.

Unlike modern times, it is not an uncommon time to fall into the grass in this era.

These people are either out of food, or because they have broken the law, and of course some of them are pure villains.

These people can be a party to the trouble by pulling a mountain, and because of factors such as vast land and sparse population, information blockage, and inconvenient transportation, it is very difficult for the government to arrest them.

Even in peaceful and prosperous times, this folk bandit often haunts, not to mention that he is here.

When he arrived in the north of the city and explained the reason, Lu Fei's first reaction was to oppose it.

Unable to defeat Xiao Ming, Lu Fei had to send all the cavalry to follow Xiao Ming out of the city.

The Mi River is in the south, the Yang River is in the north, and a group of more than 30 people rode horses and trekked for more than ten miles, and finally arrived at the Yang River, which is a river that is smaller than the Mi River.

"Your Highness, this is your land, but Your Highness didn't pay attention to it in the past, and now it has been barren." Lu Fei said.

Xiao Ming looked around, the banks of the Yang River were white, only the rushing Yang River water was flowing, and the snowflakes fell into the water and melted immediately.

This Xiao Ming's land is estimated to be unclear only to him, and the piece that Lu Fei pointed to is the land on both sides of the Yang River, which is indeed high-quality fertile land.

"Well, it's a pity." Xiao Ming said, he looked at Lu Fei and said, "Lu Fei, do you remember the military system of the previous dynasty?" ”
