Liu Ze was overjoyed and said, "Brother Zhao seems to be in good health. ”

"Thank you for the grace of the lord, if it weren't for the lord's great kindness, Zhao Feng would probably be a ghost on the Huangquan Road now."

"Brother Zhao is blessed with a great life, and he has God's blessing, so he just does his best, so why worry about it."

"The lord calls it so, kill me, and the lord can directly call the word Ziyi of the wind."

The words were sincere, now that Zhao Feng has recognized Liu Ze as the master, Liu Ze has a big brother Zhao, which really makes Zhao Feng embarrassed, Liu Ze had to nod and said: "Ziyi's body has just recovered, you must not overwork, you need to recuperate more." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, thanks to the lord's elixir, Zhao Feng's condition is already nine out of ten, and his physique is better than before, he can do some money for the lord, Zhao Feng will never give up."

"Ziyi was originally an official of one of his parents, this little Mangdangshan can be regarded as a Qu Cai, did Ziyi ever think of being reinstated as an official?" Officials in the Han Dynasty could take sick leave after they were sick, and they could also be reinstated after their bodies recovered, but in today's world, it is simply impossible not to spend some money. Although Zhao Feng has no money, Liu Ze's money is gone, as long as Zhao Feng agrees, Liu Ze can give him some money to reinstate, and it is not difficult to even be promoted to the prime minister.

As soon as he heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhao Feng's eyes, and then it dimmed again, he shook his head and said: "Fang Jin's officialdom is eunuch and rampant, and it is already filthy, even if Zhao Feng is reinstated, what is the point?" It is better to be clear and comfortable on this Mangdang Mountain, and be happy. ”

Liu Ze nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I will appoint Ziyi as the head of Mangdang Mountain to assist Zilong in managing the civil affairs of Mangdang Mountain." ”

Zhao Fenggong took the order. Before this, Zhao Feng only as a staff member to Zhao Yun to put forward some construction, although to participate in the management, but it is not right, this time Liu Ze directly appointed him as the main matter, in charge of the government affairs of Mangdang Mountain, the existing population of Mangdang Mountain is nearly 20,000, has been close to the level of the third-class county, it is indeed necessary to adopt formal management, and the most suitable candidate is naturally Zhao Feng, who has served as a county commander.

Liu Ze is most concerned about the warehouse, where millions of stone of grain and countless strategic materials are piled up, which is almost Liu Ze's lifeblood and his strong capital for conquering the world in the future.

Of course, Zhao Yun knew the importance of these materials, so he built the warehouse in the no-man's land of the back mountain at the beginning, and arranged heavy guards, idle people, etc., all of whom were not allowed to approach the warehouse area. Liu Ze was still very satisfied with Zhao Yun's site selection, and instructed Zhao Yun to do a good job in the classification and storage of all kinds of materials, do a good job of moisture-proof, waterproof, fireproof, and rat-proof work, and arrange special personnel to keep them, each responsible for it, and the entry and exit accounts are clear and accurate.

Liu Ze instructed Zhao Yun, Zhao Feng, Liao Hua and others who accompanied him that it is necessary to make effective arrangements for the production and resettlement of personnel in the major workshops, give priority to the completion of the site selection and reconstruction of the blacksmith shop, carpentry workshop, and gunpowder workshop, and strive to put them into operation as soon as possible, and select skilled personnel from the original people of Mangdang Mountain to enrich the major workshops.

For all kinds of craftsmen, Liu Ze decided to implement a monthly salary system, and the salary was issued according to the level of the craftsman, no longer only three meals and food and clothing as in the past. Although most of the artisans came from homeless people, they were almost on the verge of starvation before joining the Phoenix Valley, and as long as they could stutter, they could ride like cattle and horses. Although they are grateful and virtuous to the lord, but after a long time, eating a big pot of rice every day, the inert idea comes, doing more and doing less, doing good and bad one, and there is no enthusiasm for production.

Liu Ze had long been thinking about changing this style, first of all, through the guò assessment, the craftsmen were divided into three, six, nine and other classes according to their skills, and the salaries were issued according to the level of the craftsmen, for example, the highest first-class blacksmith Zhang Daniu had a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, which was already the same income as a county official of 400 stones.

The grade is not completely fixed, and there will be an assessment every year to determine the grade upgrade. In addition to the fixed monthly salary, there are also rewards for overcompleting the workload, so as to motivate the craftsmen to work.

All the craftsmen who get a monthly salary, Mangdangshan will no longer provide free food and lodging, but their labor income, after paying a certain amount of room and board fees, can still save a lot, especially high-level craftsmen, the money in their hands will be more and more, and in the future, they can also buy a house and land to marry a daughter-in-law. As a result, the production enthusiasm of the craftsmen has been greatly improved, and with the encouragement of the policy of more work and more rewards, the monthly production volume has repeatedly hit new highs.

Liu Ze's move won the praise of Zhao Feng, a master of internal affairs, and also laid a solid foundation for Liu Ze's future development.

The formation of the army was still the same as that of the Phoenix Valley, in addition to the 2,500 men under Zhao Yun's command, another 2,500 elite men were selected from among the minions of Mangdang Mountain, and they were mixed with the 2,500 men of the Phoenix Valley, making a total of five divisions. Zhao Yun practiced all day long, and the combat effectiveness of the team was incomparable.

Liu Ze secretly admired that among the 5,000 people, in addition to the 500 soldiers in the Phoenix Valley, the other 4,500 people were all soldiers from Wohu Mountain and Mangdang Mountain, who were born as bandits, had no formal training, and their combat ability was extremely weak, but Zhao Yun brought out a strong army after less than a year of training, and he really deserved to be a generation of famous generals.

For Liu Ze's praise, Zhao Yun just smiled straightforwardly and said: "Actually, this is all the credit of the lord, if there is no lord to train the five hundred strong soldiers in the Phoenix Valley, how can Yun train an iron-blooded army in such a short time." ”

Zhao Yun then explained in detail that all of the 500 men were disorganized, and after being selected and allocated at various levels, they served as commanders of various departments, songs, tuns, teams, divisions, and corps, thus forming a powerful system of lower-level officers and playing a tremendous role in the drill. Liu Ze was once again impressed by Zhao Yun, who was from a humble background, in his impression, Zhao Yun was undoubtedly a brave general who could take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, and he didn't expect that he was also well versed in the way of governing the army, and he had a lot of experience in training soldiers and horses.

As for the eliminated soldiers of Mangdang Mountain and the original women, children, and children in the cottage, Zhao Feng also made proper arrangements.

Mangdang Mountain is a hundred miles in circumference, although it is connected by mountain ranges, but there are still a lot of terraced fields on the slopes of the river valley, when Liao Hua occupied the mountain as the king before, he went down the mountain to plunder when he was short of grain and money, and never took the initiative to engage in agricultural production, and a large area of land was barren. According to Liu Ze's order, Mangdang Mountain is no longer allowed to plunder the four townships, although Liu Ze did not stipulate that it is not allowed to eat a large amount of grain transported, but Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng know that this is the reserve military food of the lord, and it is the capital to compete for the world in the future, and basically cannot be moved.

Not to mention that Zhao Feng has been a county magistrate, he still has a lot of experience in governing the people, and organized all the idle people, and reclaimed all the barren river valley slopes and terraced fields, and provided farm tools and seeds by the cottage.

Seeing that Zhao Feng governed Mangdang Mountain in an orderly manner, Liu Ze couldn't say anything, but he was beautiful in his heart, and he not only recruited Zhao Yun, a famous general, but also bought one and gave one free, and accepted Zhao Feng, a master of internal affairs, which was completely unexpected.

The sweaty horses were placed on a meadow in the West Mountains, where the water and grass were abundant and suitable for grazing. Except for the five hundred great horsemen, Zhao Yun set up a guard outside the racecourse, and no one was allowed to enter the racecourse. Liu Ze was surprised to find that many foals had been born on the racecourse.

Seeing that it was Liu Ze and Zhang Fei who were coming, the jade lion in the night and the snow-stepping black horse ran over happily.

The jade lion licked Liu Ze's arm with his tongue vigorously, there were faint tears in his eyes, Liu Ze's heart moved, could it be that this thousand-mile divine horse really had spirituality, and he was happy when he saw his master.

Liu Ze caressed the mane of the Jade Lion in the Night lovingly, and said, "Xiaobai, it's not yet the time for us to reunite, but one day in the future, I will let you gallop on the battlefield." ”

Zhang Fei even hugged the neck of the kicking snow crow, kissing and stroking.

Knowing that Ma Jun had also come to Mangdang Mountain, Liu Ze specially instructed Zhao Yun to take special care of him, in addition to sending guards to protect him day and night, all the resources of Mangdang Mountain were taken by him, and he did not have to interfere with any of his actions. Liu Ze wants to create a creative space of his own for Ma Jun, and many of the genius's creative inventions often come from a flash of inspiration.

Ma Jun's personality is relatively autistic and he is not good at communicating with others, and all Liu Ze can give him is a free and unfettered environment, allowing him to grow freely in this environment.

Generally speaking, Liu Ze is still satisfied with Mangdang Mountain, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun, two brothers, one writer and one martial artist, will govern Mangdang Mountain in an orderly manner, with their talents, it should be no problem to govern a state and a county, in this small cottage, more or less condescending.

Bidding farewell to Zhao Feng, Zhao Yun, Liao Hua and others, Liu Ze left Mangdang Mountain. In the months that followed, Liu Ze traveled all over the world, inspecting his economic kingdom for the first and last time.

Under Jian Yong's management, this huge economic kingdom ran very well, and it is enough to describe it in a couplet -- business is prosperous and the wealth is abundant as far as the three rivers. However, Liu Ze knows that this is the last year of the peaceful and prosperous era, and after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the pattern of the world will be reshuffled, and his own economic kingdom will also face collapse. But Liu Ze was very relieved, no matter how much wealth he had, it didn't mean much to him, his goal was to win a place in the troubled times and achieve the cause of kingship, and the current economic kingdom was to lay the foundation for the future political kingdom and military kingdom.

From a poor boy who was poor and white to a generation of rich people who rivaled the country, Liu Ze only took five years to complete this role transformation, and the light that flashed with two thousand years of wisdom was indeed extraordinary. Liu Ze seems to be a little impatient, looking forward to the arrival of that ice-breaking era.
