Ji Kang is very deep about his family in his previous life. After coming to Liaodong, he changed the number of meals to the same as in his previous life, from two meals a day to three meals a day. The office hours of officials were changed to the following: noon office hours from the morning to noon, and afternoon office hours from the beginning of the hour to the unitary hour, and the two major pilgrimages in a month were the first and sixteenth days of the month.

In the seventh year of King Wucheng, the eighteenth day of the first month.

Early in the morning, after Ji Kang accompanied his mother to breakfast, accompanied by Shi Kang and several other attendants, he came to the secretary's pavilion in the outer courtyard to work.

The Prince's Mansion is divided into two parts: the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is where Ji Kang and his mother live, and the outer courtyard has been the office of officials since the general Qin Kai.

After Ji Kang opened the mansion and built the teeth, the council hall of the outer courtyard was changed to the Qinzheng Palace. The outer courtyard is centered on this, and several small halls are set up on both sides, which are used as the office places of Ji Kang and Jun Xiangju Xin and others, and the secretary pavilion is one of them, which is used by Ji Kang as his office. And all the departments under it are all located outside the prince's mansion.

When I came to the Secretary's Pavilion, I saw Jun Xiangju Xin and Ji Mao, the president of the Supervision Yuan, who had been waiting in the Secretary's Pavilion for a long time. Suddenly, the little face was stunned and said: "Drama, Uncle Ji, I have told you two many times, don't come to the office so early, take care of your body!" ”

Ji Xin's heart warmed, and he smiled: "Childe, I'm used to it when I'm old, it's okay." ”

"Oh, oh. Forget it, so be it! ”

Ji Kang sighed helplessly, and then sat down on the newly purchased chair. That's right, it's pretty much the same as in the previous life, with a backrest and a chair with armrests on both sides.

After Ji Kang came to Xiangping, he gave them drawings and asked the carpentry workshop of the Ministry of Engineering to build them overnight. Along with it, there were also desks with drawers, coffee tables and other items, which aroused positive praise from officials at that time. It's so easy to use, isn't there! Usually kneeling on the pouch mat, it's so uncomfortable, is there!

Su Qing, a doctor in the Ministry of Commerce, keenly saw the business opportunity, and it was all money! At that time, he jumped up and asked the carpentry workshop to follow Ji Kang's instructions to build the "assembly line" method overnight according to the drawings, which has now caused a buying trend among the people of Xiangping, and has a tendency to actively expand outward.

The old manager Ji Mao sat on the chair with the cushion, and his right hand tapped the coffee table of the two chairs, and he still felt a little emotional. Only you can't think of it, there's nothing that Childe can't do, okay!

"Childe, the money and grain you asked the counties to count have been counted by the counties have been completed. The result was beyond our expectations, since General Qin Kai's attack on Donghu, we and Donghu, Goguryeo and other nearby barbarians, although there has been constant friction, but there has been no major war for more than ten years, the treasury of the two counties of Liaodi is not much money, but the food is safe. ”

Jun Xiangju Xin said to Ji Kang.

"Well, that's the best news. As long as there is no shortage of food, it can support our construction. Drama, you don't need to worry about money, I will then ask the boss to transfer the money from my mother's inner treasury to you. But we should save or save, and spend the money where it is right. ”

Ju Xin sighed with emotion after hearing this, and said:

"Childe, the task of suppressing bandits has now come to an end, except for a few bandits who escaped, it can be said that now the bandits in Liaodong and Liaoxi counties have been swept away by us. According to the order of the king, the bandits caught in Liaodong County were escorted to the concentration camp in Xinchang County, and the bandits caught in Liaoxi County were sent to the concentration camp in Wangwu County. ”

Ji Kang nodded and said: "Now is not the time to relax, the military department and the county guards and county officials must continue to pursue the fleeing gangs in line with the principle of "eliminating evil". By the end of February, the task of suppressing bandits will be completed. Even so, we must not slacken, and no gang will be allowed to appear in any county or county in the future. “

The organizers built the "Martyrs' Shrine" and the martyrs' cemetery in Xiangping and Yangle, and carved monuments for the soldiers who died in the task of suppressing bandits, as well as the soldiers who died for the country and the people in the future. Every year during the Qingming Festival and at the end of the year, officials at all levels, including me, and officials from all counties and counties pay tribute to the martyrs, which is as important as the establishment of the academy, and strives to complete it before the Qingming Festival. ”

Ji Xin and Ji Mao got up together and said; "No."

Next, Ju Xin reported again: "According to Gongzi's order, now the counties of the two counties have begun to recruit displaced people and Huyi people to register and make registers, and take advantage of the current agricultural slack season to organize people from all over the country to build roads and canals, and open up wasteland and build fields. Since the Liaoning West Conference, in this short period of time, it has been effective, and the number of households in all counties and counties has increased significantly, especially in Leting County, Liaoning West County, the number of households has increased from more than 2,000 to nearly 4,000, and the population has also increased from 13,000 to more than 24,000, and will soon reach 30,000 as mentioned by the prince. ”

"Okay." Ji Kang clapped his hands happily, stood up and said: "The officials and households should send people down to investigate, and the Supervision Yuan should follow up in a timely manner. This is the competent officer, and this is the official we want. ”

In addition, the officials of all counties and counties were instructed not to discriminate against the people of Donghu and Goguryeo who had already been registered. Anyone who joins my nationality is the people of my Yan country, and all treatment is the same as my Yan people. In addition, the government should take care of food and shelter for the opening of roads and canals, the opening of wasteland and the construction of fields, etc., and give money according to the size of the output, so as to give one knife a day, and two or three knives for those who contribute a lot and do more. ”

Ji Xin nodded and said, "Childe, I will give orders." ”

At this moment, a voice from an inner servant came from outside the secretary's cabinet: "Report to the king, Shi Yong, the military marquis of Anshan Zhuang, sent someone to send an urgent message, saying that it should be reported to the king." ”

Ji Kang thought of something in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, let the person who sent the urgent mail come in quickly." ”

"No."

Seeing a lieutenant outside the door, he walked in. Then he knelt down on his knees, held up the urgent item and said, "Meet your majesty." ”

"Bring it in."

A waiter next to him hurriedly went over to take the urgent mail and handed it to Ji Kang.

Ji Kang opened the silk silk and couldn't help laughing. handed the silk silk written by Shi Yong in his hand to Ju Xindao:

"Drama, Uncle Ji, you can also take a look.

Then he said to the kneeling lieutenant: "You step back first, and reward five hundred swords." ”

After Ji Xin and Ji Mao finished reading the urgent item, both of them couldn't help but tremble with their hands:

"Discover the big iron mines! A gold mine was also discovered! ”

Ji Kang was excited, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, an open-pit iron mine with a radius of dozens of miles, a gold mine that is easy to mine." Drama, Ji Bo, do you know? The entire mountain is iron ore near Dagu Mountain in the urgency, which is enough for us to use for dozens or even hundreds of years. And this gold mine is enough for us. ”

The old manager Ji Mao stood up excitedly and said: "This is a godsend, in order to achieve a great cause!" ”

The old man said even more excitedly: "Childe, give Shi Yong an order, you must block the news and pay attention to confidentiality." ”

But then he thought of something and said to Ji Kang: "Childe, it would be good if we urgently needed to build a copper mine for weapons, although iron weapons are sharp, they are also easy to break. Iron ore, in particular, is not easy to smelt as far as the minister knows. ”

Ji Kang smiled at the drama Xin: "Drama, iron ore is not easy to smelt, because the fuel wood smelted now burns at a lower temperature, but if you switch to another fuel, the temperature will be two to three times the burning temperature of the wood, and the smelting of iron ore will be much easier." ”

Then he said slowly: "And it can smelt a material that is stronger and harder than bronze and iron, and I call it steel." In the drama, weapons cast from steel, weapons made of bronze, such as bronze weapons and wood. ”

The eyes of Ji Xin and the boss opened wider and wider, and said in a trembling voice:

"Childe, do you have this fuel? Can you refine the material you said? ”

Ji Kang laughed and said: "It really can't be true, in Juzhuo County, east of Anshan, there is a stone, which is extremely flammable, I call it coal, which is what I call burning wood." Use it to smelt this iron ore and get what I call steel, effortlessly. ”

Ji Kang ignored the drama Xin and the old manager, the surprised expressions on their faces, and continued:

"Drama, after I go to report to my mother, Uncle Ji and I will rush to Anshan in Xinchang immediately, and the matter of Liaocheng can be handled according to our discussion. If there is an emergency, please inform me. ”

Looking at Ji Kang, who was hurriedly walking out, the old man hurriedly said: "Childe, there is one more thing, there is one more thing!" ”

"Oh, the drama, what else?"

"I want to invite Master Zou Yan and his students to Liao, I don't know if Gongzi can do it?"

Ji Kang ran back excitedly, hugged Ji Xin with his little hand, and said, "Drama, Ji Kang can't ask for it!" It's best to get him to bring more friends and students. ”

In the first month of the seventh year of King Wucheng, the Dagushan Iron Mine located in Xinchang County, Liaodong County, which was praised by Ji Kang in his previous life as the first open-pit iron mine in Asia, was discovered and found, and Ji Kang immediately rushed to Anshan, Xinchang.

And sent people to the area of Ju Jie County and Wangping County to search for the first open-pit coal mine in Asia in the previous life - Xilu Coal Mine, at the end of the month, the news came that the Xilu open-pit coal mine was found in the north of Ju Jie County.

Under the auspices of Xiangguo Juxin, the entire Liaodong and Liaoxi counties began to build roads and canals, and open up wasteland and build fields.

And no one in the Central Plains countries, including the Yan Kingdom, has ever paid attention to the place they are talking about, except for Ji Kang's father and eldest brother Gongzi Xi, no one has noticed this young son who was named the King of Liaocheng.
