Chapter 25 Preparations for the opening of the business
Walking to the square, Jiang Ziya greeted him and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, a total of 666 people, have been assigned according to coppersmiths, carpenters, cooks, handicrafts and other industries!" ”
Wang Sanhammer walked up to the high platform, looked at the slaves divided into six or seven teams, and said excitedly: "I know that everyone doesn't want to be slaves!" I know you don't want to be slaves to be slaughtered without freedom and hope! But don't worry, I can give you freedom and hope, as long as you work as slaves in your own jobs, you can rest assured, you will become free commoners, civilians with human rights, if you make meritorious contributions and earn a lot of money, you may become a slave owner with wealth, you can become a human being! I, the Prince, give you this assurance! When you get to your job, you can ask your steward, and every year every year one in ten slaves in each workshop is rewarded as civilians! ”
The flame of hope gradually began to burn among these slaves, and although it was still a spark, it would eventually become a prairie fire that burned all over the land.
The stewards led the divided groups of slaves towards their workshops, and Wang Sanhammer led Jiang Ziya, Shuang Ling, and the guards holding wooden boards to the bronze workshop first.
Yin Yezi, who was busy, hurriedly greeted him, led the way in front, and said as he walked: "The bronze workshop is divided into four parts: refining area, mold making area, forging area and fine carving decoration area, and now we can mainly build weapons. This is the refinement zone. All areas have been largely transformed according to His Highness's previous designs. The efficiency has improved a lot! ”
Looking at the busy workshop in front of him, Wang Sanzhu, who was sweating profusely, followed Yin Yezi around, a small workshop actually needed more than fifty people, not to mention the periphery, the fire has been changed from charcoal to coal, and the wind blowing has been replaced by a large bellows, compared to the steel furnace of later generations, I want to be in ancient times. Wang Sanzhu couldn't help laughing at himself, isn't it in ancient times now?!
"His Highness's design is very good! In particular, the use of coal and bellows has a very obvious effect in purification! There is also the steel filling method, we have successfully developed, you look at those furnaces, we are already using them now, and the wrought iron produced is much better than the previous pig iron! "Seeing His Highness come here first, Yin Yezi was very happy! One by one, they pointed out to Wang Sanhammer to watch.
Back in the front hall, Wang Sanhammer thought for a while, took the blank wooden board from the guard's hand, and said to Yin Yezi: "This is our latest design product, do you see if you can make it?!" ”
"Can you read it?" Wang Sanhammer asked Yin Yezi.
"Your Highness, thanks to the drawings you gave out last time, these old slaves can basically understand, but I don't know what their function is?" Looking at these more complex regiments, Yin Yezi, who was shocked, looked at Wang Sanhammer respectfully and said:
Wang Sanhammer smiled lightly and sighed softly: This is the gap in history! Then he said to Yin Yezi: "Come and let me tell you, this is a hoe...... This is an iron pot......
Yin Yezi listened to Wang Sanhammer's narration and said in great surprise: "Your Highness, the construction of the iron pot is good to say, our ancestors have also tried, but the iron pot may be very brittle, in fact, the shovel that has been tempered for thousands of years is more difficult. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again: "Your Highness, you just said that the hoe can increase the effect of turning the ground by ten times, is it really so good?" "It's really full of research spirit!
Wang Sanzhu said to him with a smile: "You can just try it, hahaha, you can find me if you have any questions." I also put the rest of the plates here for you, the content is similar to what I said, can you see if you can study it? In any case, within three days, the results must be produced. Within five days, the number of iron pots must reach 30. The others, how many you research, I will give rewards in proportion, and I can also tell you the prizes: as long as you complete the task, the most basic is also 3 civilian places. Over-fulfillment, additional will be added. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness! Don't worry, if you fight for my life, I will do it too. Thank you, Your Highness. Yin Yezi burst into tears after hearing this, knelt down and said excitedly.
Wang Sanhammer comforted him again, Yin Yezi ran towards the workshop with excitement, and from the earth-shattering cheers coming from the workshop, he knew that the motivation in it was soaring again! In fact, it is the same at any time, what can be obtained or benefits must be shared in order to be supported, and the higher the proportion of sharing, the more popular, and the stronger the power of unity. After seeing it, he began to get busy again, and walked outside with Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya was also full of admiration, he found that his highness seemed to have a strange ability, like a god with boundless mana, thinking of this, the reverent eyes became even stronger.
Wang Sanzhu didn't know what Jiang Ziya was full of, so he still said to him: "Brother Jiang, our senior blacksmiths are still relatively few!" Do you think we're going to gather more blacksmiths? ”
Jiang Ziya thought for a while, pinched his fingers, thought for a moment, and returned: "Your Highness, there is really a small clan in our big business country that is good at creating items, and it can be regarded as a little famous in our big business, but ......"
Wang Sanzhu hurriedly asked, "Really! That's great! Our blacksmith shop is okay, but the number of people is too small to be in the climate. You just said that, but what? ”
Jiang Ziya said: "This small clan is the Gongyi clan, and the slave belongs to Jizhou Hou. ”
Wang Sanzhu knew that Jizhou Hou, the fifth vassal state in the Great Shang Kingdom, was in the east of the kingdom, close to Dongyi, and was the confluence of the Yellow River and the Zhanghe River, which belonged to the low-lying plains and had fertile land, so Jizhou Hou was also considered to be strong and strong. Speaking of the great princes of the Great Shang Kingdom, the first royal family, with a total population of about eight million, and half of the territories directly under it, over the past few hundred years, although there have been changes, the overall strength is still the first; The second is headed by Uncle Wang, with a total population of about two million, and one percent of the territory, in the southern part of the royal territory; The third must be headed by Uncle Wang, with a total population of about one million, and one percent of the territory, also in the southern part of the royal territory; The fourth Xibohou is the head, with a total population of about two million, and half of the territory, in the west of the royal territory, but in the past hundred years, it has been annexing the neighboring vassal states, and the last time Emperor Yi went on an expedition, he almost took away one-third of the Xibohou territory, and the young and strong men were also killed; Headed by the fifth Xibohou, with a total population of about two million, half of the territory, in the west of the royal territory, it will fight against Dongyi every year, the training of soldiers is very cruel, coupled with the support of the royal family, the soldiers are strong and strong; The other princes have a population of nearly one million, but most of them are a few thousand people, and it is very difficult to survive, just like the Gongyi clan, the overall number is thousands of people, and there is no combat power in it, so they have to rely on the big forces to survive.
Wang Sanzhu responded a little depressedly: "Hey, Jizhou Hou is not an ordinary prince!" Oh, that's not right! ”
Wang Sanzhu suddenly remembered that the date he introduced to him nearby was not Jizhou Hou's daughter?! And it seems that the famous demon queen Daji in history was originally avoided, and the fall of a country was blamed on a woman, isn't it the Zhou Dynasty's forte! In history, the king of Su loved beauty, and Su Daji served him with his appearance, and then the Shang Kingdom was in turmoil and was destroyed by the Zhou people who were the embodiment of justice. What a glorious justice in history! And now Jizhou Hou has not rebelled, my sister and I are just on a blind date, hehehe! Wang Sanhammer laughed wickedly!
Wang Sanhammer smiled and said to Jiang Ziya: "Brother Jiang, my queen mother is arranging a blind date with Jizhou Hou's daughter for me, it seems that we will go to Jizhou Houfu as soon as possible to pay a visit." Do you think we're going to ask for something? For example, this male loser......"
Jiang Ziya suddenly realized, pondered for a moment, and said: "The public loss clan is a necessary thing, and in addition, the Jizhou soldiers are strong and strong, it would be better if they could marry a thousand guards!" After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Wang Sanhammer and Ji Ran went to the handicraft workshop again, ordered a few sets of newly designed clothes, and by the way, they told them about the mahjong dice they wanted. I went to the kitchen, ramen stewed noodles, mixed noodles, multi-flavored hot pot, and eighteen kinds of classic stir-fried dishes. In the end, Wang Sanhammer told Yin Xian about the new wine-making recipe and asked him to explore it by himself first.
After the last few people had eaten their mouths full of oil, they went back to their respective homes.
