Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 270

[Chapter 270]

“Papa…”

With a burst of firecrackers exploding, at the south gate of Chengdefang, Wang Yingxi smiled and led the officers of the Military Division into Nanfang District.

After him, some old craftsmen and newly recruited craftsmen, apprentices, and handymen of the Bingzhang Division filed in, and the number reached more than 20,000.

Zhao Xu has long been waiting for Wang Ying and others at the government office in Nanfang District.

After several days of preparation, Nanfang District was officially opened.

Seeing Zhao Xu, Wang Ying and all the officials saluted.

Wang Yingdao: “Your Highness, all the craftsmen and officials from Nanfang District have arrived.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

Chengdefang is very large, Nanfang District and Beifang District each have an area as large as a university campus.

So 20,000 people entering Nanfang District does not seem crowded.

“I won’t talk about the extra nonsense. The meaning of Nanfang District is to expand the production capacity of the Bingzhang Division. Whether it is artillery or flintlock guns, craftsman, I will give you the place, Bingzhangsi. The output of this king needs to see a significant increase.” Zhao Xu said to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying was still a little stressed.

He knew why King Yan was so anxious.

The situation around the four counties is very unfriendly now, and a big war is about to break out at any time.

And a very important part of the victory or defeat of the war is the firearms that the military commander is making.

“Your Highness understands, please rest assured Your Highness.” Wang Ying said with a bow.

At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the craftsmen again.

This time he came to Nanfang District, in addition to putting pressure on the officials of the Bingzhang Division, he also wanted to give motivation to the craftsmen.

Only in this way can production be carried out in full swing.

So he went to the high platform in front of the Office of Military Warfare, and said to the craftsmen below: “In Nanfang District, you have a clean house to live in, and there will be a special chef to cook for you. Use your energy to work.”

After a pause, he said: “In addition to the monthly money that the government promised to give you, the Military Division will also count the amount of work you do every day, and then reward you according to the amount. It is not impossible to get two taels of silver.”

“Two taels of silver.” The craftsman was shocked.

They were very satisfied to get one tael of silver, but they didn’t expect to have the opportunity to get two taels of silver.

According to King Yan, whoever does more work will get more.

Simply put, more pay for more work.

Wang Ying nodded slightly.

King Yan never mentioned this matter to him.

It is only said that the jurisdiction of the Bingzhang Division will also be standardized in the future.

Perhaps, this is the “regularization” that King Yan said.

But King Yan really saw the key problem.

During this period of time, he found that the craftsmen of the Bingzhang Division were still lazy.

No one wants to do more.

But now, judging from the energetic appearance of the craftsmen, it seems that King Yan has grasped their crucial point.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” After the excitement, the artisans saluted Zhao Xu one after another.

At this time, Zhao Xu handed a booklet to Wang Ying, “You should carefully study the jurisdiction system of Nanfang District and promulgate it for implementation.”

Wang Ying couldn’t wait to open it.

I saw a lot of things written on it, such as the curfew in Nanfang District at night.

What kind of punishment will a craftsman who goes out without permission receive?

In addition to these systems similar to the law, there is the issue of rewards and punishments for the amount of work mentioned by King Yan.

The amount of work is also a new word, but he can understand that it is just how much work is done.

Handing over the thick booklet to the officials around him, Wang Ying was sweating.

It seemed that he was going to organize the officials of the entire Military Division to learn together.

Urged officials and spurred generals.

Zhao Xu got up and went back to the palace. After all, if he stayed for an extra hour, he would have to delay the production in Nanfang District by an hour.

Wang Ying took him outside the gate of Nanfang District and went back.

Then he heard yelling.

The officials of the Bingzhang Division first allocated housing to the craftsmen.

Then let them go to the cafeteria in Fang District to watch.

Finally, different officials led them to their own workshops.

In the afternoon, white smoke rose from the square area.

The entire Nanfang district was in operation.

Someone reported the news to Zhao Xu, and he nodded in satisfaction.

“Just go to Pingcheng tomorrow.” Zhao Xu secretly said.

Before the war, he wanted to implement all the development plans of the four counties.

Under such a war, all the abilities of the four counties can operate as usual, otherwise it will be delayed.

At the same time, he went to Pingcheng for another purpose, which was to let Chen Shou build a special building.

This building is especially useful for the construction of battleships.

Just as he was thinking, Feng’er suddenly came in and said: “Your Highness, the city gate guard will report that some horses from the Ma family have arrived at the west gate.”

“Ma’s family!” Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and said, “Let them in.”

Feng’er left in response.

Not long after, a man with the appearance of a middle-aged general arrived at the palace with his guards.

After disarming the saber weapon on his body, his only son entered the palace alone.

“The last general, Ma Jin, sees Your Highness.” The general bowed.

“Excuse me.” Zhao Xu waved his hand and recalled, he remembered who this person was.

When Ma Xuan was chatting with him before, he said that he still had a cousin.

This cousin is called Ma Jin.

In the Ma family, he is also quite a powerful figure.

Thinking of this, he said: “Ma Jin, General Ma, I have heard Ma Zhoumu mention it, it’s a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you.”

Ma Jin’s face suddenly became a little unnatural, and then showed a sad expression, “Your Highness Mo Tei brother I still can’t believe it.”

Zhao Xu sighed slightly, “I also feel sorry for Ma Han, I admire Ma Han quite a bit, he is an upright person.

” , What a pity, what a pity.” Ma Jin said.

Then he changed the subject, “However, besides Ma Han, my elder brother also has an eldest son who is also tall and upright, with an extraordinary bearing. It is entrusted by him to come here this time.”

“Oh?” said Zhao Xu Zuo didn’t know, “I haven’t heard Zhou Mu mention it.”

Ma Jin smiled awkwardly, “This son has always been valued by his elder brother, so he was sent to Jinling Guozi Prison to study. Now that his elder brother is in trouble, he has already returned to Xiancheng. He has succeeded Ma Chong as the Patriarch of the Ma family.”

“It turns out that there is still this matter, this king seems to be really ignorant.” Zhao Xu said.

“Before he was unknown, it’s normal for His Highness not to know, but the head of the family has always respected His Highness, and this time the general came here to discuss with His Highness the matter of jointly withdrawing Xiliang soldiers.” Seizing the opportunity, Ma Jinlang said, “After all, this is also the emperor’s order.”

Zhao Xu sneered in his heart.

When Ma Xuan was around, he couldn’t fully trust the Ma family.

Now that Ma Chong, who he doesn’t know well and who has inextricable connections with the Dou family, is in power, he can’t trust him even more.

But sadly, he had to cooperate with the Ma family.

This is Zhao Heng’s order.

And he also didn’t want all the losses to be borne by him.

So he said: “Patriarch Ma has been worried about Jinzhou since he inherited the position of Patriarch. He is really loyal, but how will the Ma family cooperate with this king?”
