Steel Dynasty - Chapter 329

[Chapter 329 Crazy Ambition]

“Can ordinary people also obtain titles?”

Zhu Wuliu asked the reporter who came to read the newspaper in Zhujia Village, raising his head.

“Well, His Highness clearly stated in the report that anyone who has made significant contributions to Qingzhou can get a title, and there will be hereditary land corresponding to the title. The lowest county man has three hundred acres of hereditary land, and the government will not have it in the future. The right to take back these lands is basically equivalent to private territory.”

The person who read the newspaper was reporter Jiang who had come to Zhujia Village. When he read the news, his blood boiled and he had the urge to fight.

After all, this title is too tempting. Once you obtain the title, it will not only be a great honor, but it will also mean that you will have a wealthy life in the future.

Zhu Wuliu was drooling. The road section he contracted in Qingzhou was almost completed. During this time, he was free and had time to listen to the reports.

“Journalist, please continue reading. How do we common people get a title?”

“This is not easy. For example, Zhu Wuliu, unless you can breed five thousand horses, you can get the title of county boy.” Reporter Jiang smiled. said.

“Five thousand horses!” Zhu Wuliu stuck out his tongue, “Qingzhou’s horse policy stipulates that one household is enough to raise one horse. How to deal with these five thousand horses.”

“So it requires a huge contribution. Do you think that in this case? Can you become a county boy just by picking up a dung ball on the roadside?” Reporter Jiang shook his head, “Of course, this is just an example. If you can excel in a certain profession, you still hope to get a knighthood. Raising horses cannot do that. You can also raise chickens and ducks.”

“Hahaha…”

The villagers burst out laughing after hearing this.

Then Reporter Jiang told the specific rewards one by one, and the people nodded frequently, thinking about where they could make a contribution.

In addition to Zhujiacun, at the same time, the discussion about titles in Qingzhou City became more intense.

In Bowen Academy, a group of students gathered around and were trembling with excitement.

Although they have been admitted to Bowen College, they are not interested in learning all kinds of strange knowledge at all, let alone have the energy to engage in research and invention.

It can be said that they were just dawdling around in Bowen College, hoping to be assigned to a certain department in Qingzhou after graduation.

Like them, most students hold this idea. They studied hard for ten years just to enter the official career. This strong idea has never been eliminated.

Even though Xiao Ming introduced a monetary reward system last time, this incentive was far from enough for them, because pretending to be noble is a common problem among many scholars.

But it’s different now. The common people don’t know what this title is, but they know very well that in Dayu Kingdom, these are titles belonging to the royal family and nobles.

Scholars want to become officials because they want to be successful and have a glorious family name. The current title is simply too suitable for their taste.

In their eyes, a bright road was born that was better than the imperial examination.

“Brother Wentao, you said you need an experimental rider for your hot air balloon, right?”

In the cafeteria of Bowen College, a student put down his newspaper and stared directly at Lin Wentao.

Lin Wentao, who was thinking about how to provide continuous heat to the hot air balloon, turned his head dullly and said casually: “Yes, but this may kill people.”

“It doesn’t matter, let me do it. For Qingzhou and His Highness, I will not die even if I die. “

Regret.” The scholar grabbed Lin Wentao’s hand.

Lin Wentao is obsessed with his hot air balloon these days, but he has no time to read the newspaper and doesn’t know what’s going on.

He turned around and saw that the students from the School of Physics sitting around him were all staring at him very strangely.

Before he could speak, other students shouted: “Let me come. I’m fat and not afraid of falling.”

“I’m thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It’s okay if I fall from a tree when I was a child. Let me do it.” Another person shouted.

“Let me come.”

“…”

Chamber of Commerce.

The merchants who came to purchase goods had forgotten about the purchase at this time, but gathered together in twos and threes, holding newspapers in their hands and talking excitedly.

“Your Highness is as wise and powerful as Yao and Shun were alive. I didn’t expect that we businessmen would also have such a day.”

Outside the Chamber of Commerce, Ding Wu laughed loudly.

“Scientists, farmers, industry and merchants, we merchants have always had the lowest status. Your Highness’s magnanimity has not only improved the status of merchants in Qingzhou, but now we also have a share of this title.” Dai Zixing was very excited.

“Fortunately, the two of us joined the Qingzhou household registration early, otherwise it would not have been such a good thing.” At this moment, Ding Wu suddenly felt that his father was really far-sighted.

At this moment, he suddenly saw hope. In his dream, he would get this title that represented honor, and he would no longer suffer the discrimination of others.

Dai Zixing nodded frequently. Ding Wu also contracted a section of road in Qingzhou City and purchased a lot of cement pipes from him. It was only after Jingci that the two met.

“His Highness takes such good care of us. If we cannot live up to His Highness’s kindness, we must work diligently and do our part for Qingzhou’s business in the future.” Dai Zixing said seemingly unintentionally.

Ding Wu’s expression stiffened.

Although Dai Zixing’s words were unintentional, they pierced his heart. Ding Wanquan was his father and a member of King Wei.

Now he is suddenly worried that he will be involved in some unnecessary things, because his current goal is just to work hard to manage his own industry in Qingzhou, and now he has one more, obtain a title, and live gloriously in Qingzhou.

In Pingjiafang in the southeast corner of Qingzhou, Cao Zhengyang was directing his subordinates to move their luggage into the house.

This is the house he just bought in Qingzhou, and this will be his residence in Qingzhou from now on.

At this moment, a man who looked like a butler hurried over and handed him a newspaper.

Cao Zhengyang glanced at the eye-catching headline of the newspaper and was a little surprised. When he looked down, his expression suddenly became complicated.

“Coming to Qingzhou this time may be the most correct choice for the Cao family. The King of Qi seems to have been deeply influenced by the Western priest. In this way, my Cao family will be like a fish in water. The prosperity of Western business may not be realized in Qingzhou. “

Cao Zhengyang held the newspaper in his hand, his eyes filled with an inexplicable ambition.

“If this is the case, I need to report back to my father for his strong support for the King of Qi. I must guide the King of Qi to learn from the West. In this way, my Cao family can be passed down from generation to generation like a Western business family, and the incense will never be extinguished.”

I made this decision. , Cao Zhengyang immediately wrote a letter and asked the steward to rush it to Lin’an eight hundred miles away. At the same time, he also stuffed the Qingzhou newspaper into the envelope. With the Qingzhou newspaper as evidence, he believed that his father would strengthen his determination and send Cao Zhengyang to Lin’an. The family’s industry slowly moved to Qingzhou.
