The mountain wind gusted, with a hint of roaring. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Xiao Ming said: "Everyone, today this king came to the equipment department, one is for this artillery matter, and the other is to reward your outstanding craftsmen, meritorious will be rewarded, and there will be punishment, this is the principle that this king has always adhered to, when you entered the various workshops in Qingzhou, this king also gave you a promise, and now this king will fulfill this promise." ”

As soon as Xiao Ming's words fell, many craftsmen showed excitement.

Chen Qi had already recorded their exploits before, and they had been waiting for this day.

Then Xiao Ming said: "Now the name I read will be released as a slave, obtain Qingzhou household registration, and have all the rights of the people of Qingzhou from now on." ”

"Song Changping, Deng Huaiyuan, Yin Xingjian, Chen Wei......"

One by one, the names came out of Xiao Ming's mouth, and the craftsmen who were named trembled excitedly.

At this time, Chen Qi looked at a young craftsman standing at the front, this craftsman was only in his twenties, and he was already in tears at this time.

He thought that his destiny would be to give birth to a son as a slave, a daughter as a prostitute, and a pariah for generations, analogous to livestock.

But now at this moment, everything has changed.

He also once doubted, suspecting that King Qi was just talking casually and would not really give them freedom.

Many slaves have this idea, so they are confused, living day by day, and being a monk hitting the clock for a day.

But the difference is that he remembers his father's words, no matter what the situation, he must be an honest person and work diligently.

Therefore, he has been working hard, and it is precisely because of his efforts that Chen Qi brought him from the Instrument Division to the military workshop, and also made him the captain.

Not only did he not be satisfied with the improvement of his circumstances, but he worked harder, and after three months of study, he finally found a continuous casting method to improve the efficiency of artillery casting.

For this reason, Chen Qi praised him greatly in the workshop and promised to take credit for him, and in fact, he did it.

Glancing at Chen Qi, a smile bloomed on Song Changping's tearful face.

“…… Ge Ming. After reading the names of the thirty craftsmen, Xiao Ming said: "These thirty slave craftsmen will no longer be slaves from today onwards, and the household registration military workshop will handle it for you, and Song Changping has made outstanding contributions, not only will I get the Qingzhou household registration, but your family will also get the Qingzhou household registration, and this king will buy a property for you in Qingzhou City, and after that, your family can be reunited, are you satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied!" Song Changping shouted, slowly knelt down with his hands in fists, he kowtowed again and again, and cried: "Your Highness Xie, Your Highness Xie!" ”

Xiao Ming stepped forward and helped Song Changping up, and he said to the craftsmen: "This king knows that many of you don't believe me, now you should believe it, as long as you are willing to work hard, in Qingzhou, everything is possible, not only can you be free, your children can also go to school in Qingzhou, and even become officials in the future." ”

Xiao Ming's voice was loud and deafening, and many craftsmen lowered their heads in shame, they were fed up with the deception of the officials of the wealthy clan and no longer trusted anyone, but now they found out that they were wrong.

Now they regret it very much, remembering that when they laughed at Song Changping before, they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and now Song Changping is free, and they are still slaves, they knew it was so, why bother in the first place.

But at the same time, they are also secretly determined to work hard to get rid of their slave status.

Looking at the expressions of the slave craftsmen, Xiao Ming thought to himself that if his goal was achieved, he would create a social atmosphere of hard work and happiness.

Because now he must be a slave, and the people of the fiefdom must also work hard, and the victory of one or two wars is not enough to prove that Qingzhou will be stable from now on.

Trembling and walking on thin ice, this is what everyone should remember.

rewarded the slave craftsmen, and Xiao Ming rewarded the craftsmen with Qingzhou household registration, and this reward was to encourage them, after all, silver was the biggest demand for them.

After the military workshop was rewarded for meritorious deeds, Xiao Ming returned to Qingzhou, and with the momentum of the military workshop, he asked Qingzhou to carry out the same reward measures in each workshop.

At the same time, the newspapers also cooperated with the publicity of this matter, so much effort, his only purpose was to increase the enthusiasm of the craftsman.

After all, there is a big difference between positive and negative, and a passive craftsman who becomes positive can at least triple his work efficiency.

Before the end of the year, when the Qingzhou workshop was very lively because of rewards and punishments, 100 export-oriented artillery pieces from Qingzhou also arrived in Chang'an.

In the study, Xiao Wenxuan was correcting the folds.

At this time, Feng Deshui suddenly ran all the way in, because he ran too fast, Feng Deshui suddenly became unstable under his feet and threw himself at Xiao Wenxuan's feet.

Xiao Wenxuan said with a smile: "Deshui, it's not the New Year yet, why did you give me a five-body throw." ”

Feng Deshui got up, grinning in pain, but still laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave didn't do this great gift today, but ran too fast and fell, Your Majesty, the artillery of the King of Qi has arrived in the firearms camp." ”

"The artillery has arrived, are you serious?" Xiao Wenxuan stood up suddenly, grabbed Feng Deshui and shook him vigorously, looking excited.

"Your Majesty, the old slave's bones are about to fall apart." Feng Deshui smiled bitterly, "The old slave has never deceived Your Majesty. ”

"It's really here!" When Xiao Wenxuan heard this, he laughed, and at this time, he put down the brush in his hand and walked out, saying, "Take me to have a look!" ”

Feng Deshui hurriedly chased out, "Your Majesty, slow down, put on a mink fur, don't be frozen." ”

Where is Xiao Wenxuan willing to stop, at this moment, he seems to be back to twenty years old, with strong steps and flying steps.

For him, it was not just a hundred guns, but a moment when the royal family re-established its supremacy.

For this reason, he asked Feng Deshui to inform all the magnates of Chang'an to go to the firearms battalion, and he wanted everyone to see that the forbidden army had artillery.

Let some officials bring the news to the masters behind them.

The firearms battalion, at this time a hundred artillery pieces from Qingzhou were lined up in the main camp, and the artillery was covered with gray canvas.

Outside the main camp, the soldiers were heavily guarded, and some of the generals who had received the news had arrived early, but they had not been ordered not to let any generals outside the firearms battalion enter.

And the soldiers of the firearms battalion were very curious when they looked at these things covered with canvas, and they didn't understand what this thing called "artillery" looked like.

Xiao Wenxuan left the palace and came directly to the south gate of Chang'an City, where the firearms battalion was stationed outside the south city.

Feng Deshui had already notified all the important civil and military officials to take a look at this powerful firearm, and this was also the time for Xiao Wenxuan to show his strength to the vassal king with a different surname.
