Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 359

[Chapter 359 New Organization]

“Yang He, there will be a new product coming out in the palace soon, you should say hello to the merchants in the fourth northern counties in advance, and you will know what to do with the rest.”

Jian Jian told Chang Wei Facing the situation of Beidi people and the affairs in the army, Zhao Xu asked someone to call Yang He.

These days, because I have been busy with the armed caravan.

He didn’t know much about the soap.

“New merchandise?” Yang He suddenly showed the fanatic eyes of a cat smelling fishy.

For him, the old commercial goods can no longer make any waves in his heart, even though these goods continue to bring rich income to the palace.

Only new goods are like a new girl in a brothel, full of thirst for exploration.

“Where is it? What is it? Your Highness, please let me take a look.” Yang He looked excited.

Zhao Xu said: “Don’t worry, you can see it in two days.”

According to Qu Sheng’s words, the soap shop is 90% complete.

Yang He kept rubbing his hands, “Hey, this time I can scrape a fortune from powerful merchants again. Your Highness, although the government affairs and the military are very important, the merchants feel that they cannot be stopped. After all, it is related to the palace. Naturally, the more finances, the better.”

Zhao Xu nodded slowly.

At present, the Yanjun Commercial Bank has the treatment of an imperial merchant.

Travel freely in the states and counties controlled by the royal family, and no one dares to stop them.

Equivalent to direct selling.

The states and counties controlled by the clans sold them monopoly rights.

While earning a monopoly fee, powerful merchants have to pay money for the goods, which is tantamount to agency sales.

Every time a new product comes out, the firm can sell a new monopoly and earn a large sum of money at once.

After that, they had to get the goods from the palace as usual.

It is equivalent to earning their money twice.

“This lord knows it well, and the students from the Science and Technology School will continue to develop new products for the firm.” Zhao Xu laughed.

“Science and Technology Academy?” Yang He was taken aback for a moment, “Your Highness, what do you mean this time the goods were made by the students of the Science and Technology Academy?” Among the

three schools, the Science and Technology Academy is the most mysterious.

He and officials have never been clear what the school was for.

Even a little contemptuous.

Now he was shocked to learn that the new goods were actually made by the students of the Science and Technology School.

“That’s right, it’s them.” Zhao Xu said casually, and continued to go to the Government Affairs School.

After confirming the news, Yang He smacked his lips, “Your Highness, does the Science and Technology Academy still need people? There are a few children in the lower official’s family who want to listen to His Highness’s teachings.”

This conversation made him suddenly realize that the Science and Technology Academy seems to be Yan Yan The king’s most important place.

“No need.” Zhao Xu dropped the sentence and walked away gradually, leaving Yang He with a wry smile on his face.

Like many others, he seemed to have missed this opportunity.

here.

When Zhao Xu arrived at the Government Affairs School, he immediately summoned the students from the Mineral Exploration Division.

After this period of contact, Zhao Xu selected Chen Ce, the head of the ore prospecting department, from among the twenty-four students.

He has the most proficient knowledge of minerals.

Right now, he has taught them the most common mineral knowledge that will be needed in a short time.

Now they need to practice and find out these minerals.

For example, sulfur mines and saltpeter, these two minerals are distributed in the four northern counties.

Entering the age of firearms, the demand for these two minerals in the four northern counties increased dramatically.

At present, most of the saltpeter in the four northern counties is purchased from Yizhou.

If the neck gets stuck one day, the North Four Counties will be quite uncomfortable.

After all, even if there are advanced artillery and muskets, it will not work without gunpowder.

Others include tungsten ore, manganese ore, etc.

These are essential minerals for making high-strength alloys.

With the improvement of the quality of steel in the North Four Counties, the natural quality of the required knives must also be improved.

Otherwise cutting metal will be a huge problem in the future.

Moreover, the appearance of alloys will further improve the quality of artillery barrels and musket barrels.

In this way, the barrel and barrel can withstand more gunpowder.

Power and range will be further improved.

“During this time, you should first find out this mine, this mine…”

Spreading the map of minerals on the table, Zhao Xu pointed out one by one to Chen Ce.

Other students gathered around and watched carefully.

Among the students of the Mining Division, Chen Ce was relatively old, about twenty-five years old, and relatively dark.

But similar to Wang Ying, he is a practical person.

Zhao Xu was interested in this point, combined with Chen Ce’s good grasp, so he was chosen. Excellent students are liked by everyone.

“Your Majesty, remember, you will surely live up to His Highness’s expectations.” Chen Ce cupped his hands, raised his patched sleeves, his expression excited.

In the government affairs school, he basically belonged to the poorest group of people.

In addition, his family has a wife, children and mother waiting for him to support.

At first, he was unwilling to come to the Government Affairs School.

After all, he was just a student in the school, he had no money to take, and he didn’t know when he would be able to pass the official examination and become an official.

But his mother and wife didn’t want to let him study hard for so many years, so they just went to waste.

So dead threatened him to come to the government affairs school for a try.

The two of them make a living by doing needlework and starch washing.

Not daring to disappoint his mother and wife, Chen Ce worked very hard in the Political Affairs School.

He memorized the entire textbook by recitation.

This was seen by Liu Fu, so he took advantage of this time to find a mine manager and recommended him.

And he lived up to expectations, he was valued by the king of Yan, and he was chosen as the master. It can be said that his career has gone straight up, and many students are envious.

Now, he is an official of the government office, and he still has a salary to get.

For this, he can be said to cherish it very much.

Now that the king of Yan sent him the important task of searching for mines, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

This is an air that must be done properly.

“Then I will wait for your good news. Remember, what you do is very important and does not belong to any other officials.” Zhao Xu said.

Coming from the present age, he is well aware of the importance of an industrial country to a mine.

It can be said that mining is the lifeblood of industry.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone said loudly.

When King Yan said that, they were immediately excited.

After all, looking for mines is a bit of a job in the eyes of the officialdom.

Looking over everyone, Zhao Xu stepped forward and patted their shoulders one by one.

Finding ore is a very difficult task.

Although the geographical conditions near the mine are marked on the drawings.

But these places are definitely very different from the present day.

The ancient natural environment was quite primitive.

Maybe some mines are a forest or a swamp.

It is not impossible to encounter jackals, tigers and leopards.

“Starting from today, the Mining Division is officially established, and the office has prepared for you. If you need money and materials, you only need to report to the office.” Zhao Xu said seriously when he came back to the crowd.

Chen Ce couldn’t hide a smile on his face. Before today, he only held an official position.

Now, he will officially become a member of the government office.
