At this time, Zhu Yu did not go directly to Liu Braid, the king of Hongnong, but went to Lu Zhi's mansion; On the other end, Liu Braid was busy receiving cleaning materials at this time, and he was quite satisfied with the overall harvest today, but he still underestimated the number of illiterates in this era, all of these people who came to work were laborers and craftsmen, and there was no one who could read and write to apply; What Liu Braiding didn't know was that in this era, ordinary people didn't know how to read at all, and those who were literate were the children of big families, and no matter how bad they were, they were also the heirs of the landlord and squire.

Although Liu Braid was a little disappointed in this, but after thinking about it, it was good to simply let these illiterate people learn to simplify the words directly, in addition, Liu Braid had just received the equipment from the little fat man, thinking that it was still imminent to make money, just to arm the equipment of these hundreds of people and let the little fat man buy tens of thousands of catties of food and paper and pencils, it actually cost 3.836 million yuan, which really scared Liu Braid, I didn't expect it to be so easy to spend money... It seems that it is necessary to make money quickly, the first is to use food to exchange the ancient coins and bronzes in the hands of the people in the city, and the second is that it is definitely not possible to rely on the thousands of people in Luoyang City alone, if you want to trade with the outside world, you must open up waterways, you must quickly strengthen the army, and you must eradicate the bandits and several other bandits in Mengjin Port as soon as possible, Mengjin Port near Luoyang must be in your own hands, and you can go out of the Yangtze River to trade with other princes with the port.

In order to get things from the residents of Luoyang City as soon as possible, he took out a pen and paper to draw the approximate shape of various things, the appearance of various cloth coins, knife coins, the appearance of bronze mirrors, the appearance of candlesticks and the general appearance of bronze vessels he had seen. That's the way it goes.

After finishing his business, Liu Braid rode out a mountain bike and rode back and forth in the yard, and said in his mouth, don't say it's really good, 2,000 yuan is really not a waste of money.

"What do you think is the lord's mount?" The soldier next to one of the soldiers in the second Shi said

"What do you know, I've heard people say, our lord used to be the son of heaven, you see this mount has never been seen by small people like us before, and it is estimated that it was only in the palace before."

If Liu Braid heard what they said, he would probably be happy, there used to be a yarn in the palace, which Lao Tzu brought back from the 21st century.

Liu Braided saw the soldier who was watching him ride next to him, and asked casually, "Hey, where is Zhou Shichang?" ”

"Back to the lord, Zhou Shichang is outside the hospital"

Liu Braided rode his newly purchased imported SCOTT mountain bike through the inner courtyard and rode outside the courtyard, and all the soldiers he saw were sideways; When he arrived outside the hospital, Liu Braided saw Uncle Zhou and shouted, "Zichang, come and see how my mount is?" ”

Zhou Bo was patrolling outside the courtyard with his first soldiers, after all, Luoyang City is not peaceful now; Hearing Liu Braid's voice, he looked back: "Lord, what kind of mount are you?" I've never seen "Uncle Zhou is now a little used to this master always coming up with something novel from time to time, although he doesn't know why, but his previous experience as a pro-soldier told him that he shouldn't ask what he shouldn't ask, although Uncle Zhou has not learned the secrecy discipline of the current army, but it seems that smart soldiers always have something in common;

"Haha, you can ride this mount to try, now there are no horses in our city, the traffic is basically by walking, it's too slow, I'm going to take this equipment infantry first, I named him the wheelwheeler, although it's not as fast as a horse, but many soldiers don't seem to have ridden a horse, learning to ride a horse is much more difficult than learning to ride this wheelwheeler" As he spoke, Liu Braided pushed the mountain bike to Uncle Zhou; Zhou Bo tried to learn from Liu Braid, although he didn't grasp the essentials very well, but he didn't fall down, and under Liu Braid's several tips, he actually learned it in ten minutes; Zhou Bo himself has a lot of strength, and the feeling of passing through the wind when he stares at the mountain bike makes him very happy, even more refreshing than riding a horse before, probably because Zhou Bo is fresh for the first time; Liu Braided thought to himself that it was better for adults to learn bicycles quickly, so they would learn it in a while. It seems that it is much easier to popularize this, too, you can't learn it, my money is not spent in vain, just kidding these 500 imported mountain bikes cost themselves 1 million oceans... said that it was good to buy it, but this little fat man really dared to spend it.

After Zhou Bo finished learning the bicycle, Liu Braided said to him: "Tomorrow those laborers will come to report, you don't want to patrol the night tonight, go back to rest, let Xu Gouzi's kid do it for you, the laborers who will come tomorrow, you take them to the vacant land next to the horse farm that we chose before, build the barracks for me first, don't be afraid of spending money, use how much to tell me directly, build a bigger one, if not, the horse farm will be demolished, anyway, there are no horses now, and it is useless to keep them; Tear it down; Let those craftsmen who signed up come to me tomorrow in the courtyard; In addition, the women and children gave them a day's food, and they were asked to help the laborers, and they did not have a military camp or a place to teach them. ”

Nothing to say all night.

The next day, the bustling crowd began to mix again, but with Liu Braid's arrangement last night, it didn't take long for Zhou Bo to take his first soldier to beckon the laborers to work in the racecourse in the west of the city.

The rest of the craftsmen followed Bu San into the inner courtyard according to their instructions, and after these craftsmen entered the inner courtyard, Liu Braids also walked out and asked them, "Do you know who I am?" ”

Most of these craftsmen are people who only know how to work with their heads bowed, and they have never seen any great officials in their lives, let alone princes and princes; All the craftsmen knelt down in unison and said, "The little people pay a visit to King Hongnong"

"Don't be so polite, get up, you are different from those laborers outside, you are all skilled people, and this king will depend on you to support you in the future"

"The little people don't dare"

"Let me tell you the truth, the wages I have set for you two catties of grain per person per day are the most basic, I will build a handicraft workshop next to the horse farm in the west of the city, and you craftsmen will make all kinds of handicrafts for me in it, the more exquisite, the more complex, the more beautiful the better, don't be afraid of the cost of materials, I will send someone to send you the bronze, gold and silver things you need, if you do a good job, do it to my satisfaction, I have a heavy reward"

"Xie Hongnongwang, the small people should work hard"

"Okay, Bu San, you take them down first, each of them will be given 5 days' rations, and you will tell Uncle Zhou in a while, let them speed up the progress of the construction barracks, and assign some people to build a large workshop at the same time, what does the specific workshop need to look like inside, you go and bring a few senior old craftsmen to follow you"

Bu San said "no" and left with the craftsmen

Liu Braided thought, finally started, and when there was an army, even if there were only a few hundred people, this sense of security would go up, and there was no need to worry about it every day, even the rabble bandits were afraid.
