"Your Highness, I have already brought the people, are you summoned?" Zhou Xiang Shili asked.

"Okay, Zhou Duyuan has worked hard, and you have to pay attention to your body not to get tired!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, waving his hand to let Xiao Huangmen go to lead people.

"Your Highness is the hardest, what if your subordinates don't work!" Zhou Xiang hurriedly saluted again and said with a smile.

"You, you always speak so well, but the errand is really good, tell this king what you want!" Zhao Hao nodded at him and smiled, and asked him to move a stool for him to sit down.

"Your Highness, these are the responsibilities of your subordinates, how dare you ask for your Highness's reward!" Zhou Xiang, who had just sat on his ass and pulled his ass, heard His Highness say this, and quickly stood up and waved his hand in fear.

"You did a good job on this errand, shouldn't you be rewarded?" Zhou Xiang has always been able to observe words and looks, and the person who pats the sycophants is comfortable, of course, it is difficult to say how much water there is, but at this moment, with a rare sincerity on his face, Zhao Yu asked a little strangely.

In fact, what Zhao Yu said is also the truth, since moving to Qiong, Zhou Xiang can be said to be the busiest, he led the capital of the courtyard not only to choose a place to build a camp, arrange for the soldiers who have arrived in Qiong to stay, but also to arrange office accommodation for each division; At the same time, it is necessary to repair the warehouses, move goods, build houses, and arrange for the recruited displaced people; In addition, it is necessary to select a site for each workshop of the Tosakuin so that it can be put into production as soon as possible. It's so busy that I hit the back of my head, I don't have time to eat, and a big fat face has become a big cake.

"Your Highness, my subordinate is a rough man, and he doesn't have any big ambitions, so he just thought that he would be satisfied with being the master of the prison. But since following His Highness, I have realized that there are not all incompetent people in the court who are corrupt and pervert the law, and there are loyal ministers such as His Royal Highness, who are loyal to the country and do not hesitate to be good masters for us and other grass people. Zhou Xiang bowed and said.

"If you say it's hard, who in the house dares to say that you can compare to Your Highness, and who dares to disobey Your Highness when it comes to ability? At the beginning, the epidemic ship was precarious, and there was no food and clothing in Jiazi Town, but later it was taken in by His Royal Highness, and when the government was opened, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and only 10 warships. But now we have not only conquered Guangzhou, but also have tens of thousands of troops, thousands of warships, and a state. Regarding the division of troops in the house, I secretly complained that His Highness took in so many idlers and wasted food and clothing, but now I only suspect that there are few people, and it is precisely because of these subordinates that I will not be blind! ”

"Zhou Duyuan praises again, this king is embarrassed!" Zhao Yu was still a little moved in his heart when he heard this, and he was more guilty, so he smiled awkwardly.

"Eh, Your Highness can afford it, no matter what others do, anyway, my subordinates have endless energy these days, it seems that they are thirty years younger, and they are not tired at all." Zhou Xiang shook his arm and said.

"It's an extraordinary time, everyone has worked hard, and we'll have a good rest when the situation stabilizes!" Zhao Hao looked at his funny appearance and laughed and said, "Yesterday I sneaked out to see that the location of the workshop is really good, near the river and water, the terrain is open, the materials are easy to operate, and it is not far from the city, it seems that you have put your heart into it." ”

"This credit is not daring to be received by his subordinates, it is all the credit of the construction supervisor Zhang Xu, he said that the riverside is not only convenient for the workshops to use water, but also can use the water flow to drive the water wheel to save manpower!" Zhou Xiang shook his head and said.

"Oh, there are still such talents in the house?" Zhao Yu knew that the establishment of the Craftsman Bureau was more to settle those displaced people, but he didn't expect that there would be such a person among them.

"Yes, Your Highness should have seen this person too! It was an old man who said that he had been a carpenter, a blacksmith, a temple, and a bridge when he was young. Zhou Xiang said.

"Well, this king still has some impressions, is there an old man in his sixties, with a white beard, and a big tall man." Zhao Yu thought about it and said.

"Yes, yes, that's the man." Zhou Xiang said in a loud voice, "At that time, his subordinates were clumsy, I just thought that he was old and bragged about eating for a foolish meal, but I didn't expect that when he was young, he was a famous big wooden work in Guangfu, presided over the repair of palaces and built cities, but because of the military disaster, his family was scattered, and he fled to Huizhou alone." But people thought he was too old and no one took him in, so the house picked up the cheap. ”

"Oh, I see, since this one ...... Zhang Xu has great talent, so he should be reused, and he must not be buried. Zhao Yu nodded and said, he knew that this big wooden work was not something that anyone could do, it was equivalent to the chief technical director of a modern construction company, and it was up to him whether a house could be built or not.

"Yes, after his subordinates found out, they didn't let him do rough work and let him help in the yard!" Zhou Xiang said.

"No, no, it's so stingy! How can I let him be a commander in the construction supervisor, we are now building a city and building a village is the time to employ people, let him preside over the construction of Baisha Water Village, if he really has the ability, he can also reuse. Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Yes, his subordinates thanked His Highness on his behalf, and asked him to come to the mansion to thank him in the future. This is also the virtue of his ancestors, and he can be favored by His Royal Highness! Zhou Xiang agreed, of course, it was inevitable that there would be another round of sycophancy, and his heart was a little sour.

"Hehe, this is also the merit of your Zhou Duyuan's recommendation, and this king will not forget it. I wonder how the shipbuilder you got this time? Zhao Yu saw his careful thinking and smiled.

"His Royal Highness is very loving, and his subordinates dare not to die!" Zhou Xiang was really overjoyed when he heard this, after all, no one was afraid that there would be a new person and forget the old one, "Your Royal Highness commanded, the subordinates naturally worked hard, and the few people selected this time are all masters in the officialdom, and their skills are all superior!" ”

"Wang De, take it out and let them see, if this ship can be built, you can't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yu did not meet them in person, first, he was afraid that they would lose their square inches in fear, and they would talk nonsense; Second, they are afraid that they will be afraid of their own identity and dare not tell the truth. But it was about whether the boat could be launched, and he certainly didn't want to be fooled.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang De had already been instructed to let the two little yellow men carry the ship model to the side hall to be examined by several shipbuilders.

Zhao Yu then pulled Zhou Xiang through the back door and hid behind the screen to hear what they said, but after waiting for a while, no one spoke. He couldn't wait and squinted his eyes to look out from the gap, only to see three people look around the ship model on the table, and then carefully picked it up and dismantled it one by one.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao, who has always been calm, became nervous, just like when he was waiting for expert review with his design plan in his previous life. Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with copying the turtle ship with his knowledge, he also knew that the ancient shipbuilding technology was completely different from the modern one, and he would inevitably add modern concepts to the design, so whether it could be built or not was nodded by these experts at the moment......
