Guo Zongxun asked Liu Ji a question, because he had been thinking about it for a long time and had not been able to think about how to keep these big killing weapons on the battlefield secret for as long as possible.

"Your Majesty, the minister's idea is to build a craftsman castle in Kaifeng City, the best location is in the east of the city, Wushuangmen Kaifeng headquarters is also located there, Huashan has sent troops to escort some old craftsmen over, Wushuangmen Huashan base is still under construction."

Guo Zongxun nodded, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian and Li Tongjie.

"Your Majesty, the old slave very much agrees with Lord Liu's suggestion, build a craftsman castle in Kaifeng City, all the materials and ordnance involved in secrets are made in the castle, how to choose the craftsmen who enter the castle, whether they can't go out for the rest of their lives, this aspect needs to be carefully considered."

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the only son in the world does not smoke, the second or third son of the family draws one, and the fourth son draws two, and gives sufficient compensation, these craftsmen who enter the castle, when they are alive, don't think about leaving."

Guo Zongxun knew that Liu Ji, Wei Zhongxian, and Li Tongjie's suggestions were very reasonable, and those who are kings must not be benevolent to women.

It's not that the ancient literati liked to write books and say that this leaked the secrets of the family and the country, and the craftsmen ...... If there were no surviving craftsmen who risked their lives to steal the drawings, or the so-called treasure maps drawn by them from memory after they escaped, the tombs of the emperors of the past would not have been so easy to steal.

"I will give Huashan to the craftsmen of the world, let them recuperate in Huashan, pass on their ancestors, and let them pass on their family craftsmanship in Huashan, my real purpose is still for the development of my Great Zhou, and the suggestions of the three of you coincide with what I think in my heart."

"The method of drawing ding, I think it can be more detailed, the construction of the craftsman castle is limited to accommodate 1,000 craftsmen, and married craftsmen are recruited to bring their families into it, and all kinds of living facilities in the castle must be fully equipped, such as restaurants, teahouses, etc.? It is handed over to the families of craftsmen to manage. ”

"Can a baby born in a castle live with his family until he is six years old? According to the wishes of their parents? You can send it out and give it to relatives to raise or keep it with you. ”

"The Artisan Castle isn't set up indefinitely, I think? Twenty years first, twenty years later? I believe? The world is already very different? Except for individual military technologies that need to continue to be kept strictly secret, the rest, more will be used for civilian use. ”

This idea was also learned by Guo Zongxun from the era of 2020, military science and technology has always been at the forefront of the field of science and technology? The launch of each military technology? It will be kept strictly secret for a certain period of time, and with the progress of the times, some military technologies that are no longer important will be declassified to a certain extent and within a certain scope as long as they can be used for people's livelihood.

This is also the best way for Guo Zongxun to think of to keep it secret.

Technology? Except for some special materials, the rest? A lot of things are just a layer of window paper.

Explosives, as long as you find the best ratio, it is so easy to make bombs.

Ballista carts, as well as catapults that can be disassembled and assembled and can be pushed without too much manpower, although Guo Zongxun didn't know how Liu Liancheng designed it, but after reading the drawings, he understood.

These are the use of complex gears and pulleys, which, as long as they are properly assembled, can pull and lift heavy objects with a gentle twist of a handle.

If you want to say whether these things can be used for civilian use, the answer is yes, but Guo Zongxun has no such plans at all now.

Don't underestimate the smart people of this era, this is Guo Zongxun's deepest feeling in less than a year.

"All craftsmen who voluntarily enter the artisan castle will be sent down to set up a monument on Huashan Mountain to pass them on and treat them as national soldiers, and all craftsmen who die in the artisan castle will be buried with state rites."

"Your Majesty."

"Open up Kaifeng East City for the craftsman exclusive land, Wushuang Gate and the craftsman castle each account for half, around the craftsman castle, transfer 20,000 guards to the forbidden army in the past, both monitoring and protection, the materials needed in the craftsman castle, by the Department is responsible for procuring, the employment system is the same as the Wushuang Gate, I allow the craftsmen to accumulate wealth in the castle for 20 years, after 20 years, they will come out to spend their own life, and they will be left to their children if they have no life."

"Your Majesty."

For the use of craftsmen, Guo Zongxun will never turn over as a serf and be the master of the house, human nature is there, and the reason why the literati are high is that they are used to being used to stinky problems, and these craftsmen are actually the same.

Laborers, let them always recognize the reality that you are laborers, and if you don't work, you are nothing.

As for how to clean up the literati, Guo Zongxun is not in a hurry now, the water may not be completed, the canal is dug first, and when the water comes, everything will be natural and reasonable.

What made Guo Zongxun happy was that when his decree was promulgated, the craftsmen who signed up were very enthusiastic.

"Your Majesty, there are many brothers in the Spiegel Division, Dongchang Jinyi Guard, and Iron Blood Secret Guard who have to sign up for their families."

The Spiegel Division is in the hands of Li Tongjie, the Dongchang Jinyi Guard is in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, and the iron-blooded secret guard is in the hands of Jing Wuming and Tie Cangfu, and the loyalty of these people is beyond doubt.

"Isn't this good, they are already heroes hiding in the shadows to protect me and protect the Great Zhou, and now they have to let their brothers enter the artisan castle and not leave for twenty years, will this be too much?"

"Your Majesty, the brothers who signed up are all more than four males in the family, which just meets the requirements of two out of four."

"Okay, I'm right, thank them for being willing to make such a sacrifice for me for the Great Zhou, I and the people of the Great Zhou will not forget them."

"Your Majesty, the iron-blooded secret guard commander Jing Wuming and the iron-haired man ask to see him."

In the imperial study, Lu Siniang and Nalan Yi were busy with the affairs of Wushuangmen, what was being done over there was in full swing, and there was a shortage of manpower, Guo Zongxun didn't want to make his grandfather Chai Shouli tired, so he sent Lu Siniang and Nalan Yi over.

"Come out, you two take the initiative to ask to see me, there must be something important."

Jing Wuming and Tie Cang appeared in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Jinliang and his son have news back."

Zhu Jinliang, who was also one of the iron-blooded secret guards, engaged in business after retiring, from Qizhou to Youzhou to do business, when Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan fled back to Khitan, they held Zhu Jinliang and his son hostage.

In Liaoyang Mansion, Zhu Jinliang relied on his ingenuity, although he was suspected by Yelu Xiuge, he also succeeded in making Yelu Xiuge value him very much.

It just so happened that Yelu Hugo and Xiao Yanyan also needed someone who could talk to the Great Zhou side.

"Zhu Jinliang, Lone doesn't care whether you are a fine work of the Great Zhou or not, Lone will not kill you, Lone will send you to Youzhou now, it is best if you can reach Kaifeng, Lone hopes that you will pass the word to the boss, Lone and Lone will have the future princess Xiao Yanyan will definitely govern the Khitan stronger and stronger, Lone will one day compete with the boss in the Central Plains, and will hunt under Kaifeng City."
