Chapter 16: The Wind Rises, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings (3)
However, who is the King of Shicheng, that is the emperor's eldest son, the Mo family has him as the backstage, how can he take an egg to touch the stone? So Duan Muhao had no choice but to do it, thinking about it, he made eight thousand taels of silver for nothing anyway, and he was also happy.
It's just that Fang Ling didn't want to ask for the eight thousand taels for the Mo family, but he just thought of his family, and his heart was like an arrow, so he should temporarily deposit the silver in the Duan family, and when he came back in the future, it would be good to take it back with interest.
As for Duan Zixuan, when he learned that the Mo family actually moved his family to Shichengguo, he could only look at the north and sigh, but in the end he still didn't see Miss Mo Family, and the dream of the uncle and sister-in-law cheating was like a bubble.
Because the Mo family brought a lot of things, it took several days for everyone to rush to the fiefdom.
In addition to the original Feng County, Xihe County, Maling County, and Shicheng County, three other cities were built in the mountains through the development of the Shilong Mountains, one of which was the Xicheng where the people of Xiguo lived, and the other two were Cuishan City and Beiwang City.
Because Shicheng County was located in the middle of the seven cities, it became the royal city of the fiefdom, and its north was the three cities of Xicheng, Cuishan City and Beiwangcheng, and the south was Feng County, Xihe County and Maling County.
Although the three cities in the north have not been designated as counties, in fact, the size of the city is about the same as the county, but there are fewer villages under its jurisdiction, but because of the continuous influx of population, the scale of the entire fief is actually comparable to a county, and the population is also hundreds of thousands, and three years ago, the total population of the three counties was only tens of thousands.
Fang Ling's return was very quiet, and there was no fanfare, because his whereabouts have always been very secretive, no one knew that he was not in the royal city, and the fief after leaving was managed by Chen Mou and others, and all kinds of government and politics were handled in a meticulous manner.
After meeting with his grandfather, mother and others, Fang Ling held a dinner party in the palace that night, one to celebrate the freedom of his grandfather and others, the other to wash the dust for the Mo family, and the third to reward the ministers.
Seeing that Fang Ling had brought back the first craftsman family in Bingzhou to the fiefdom, everyone was shocked and sighed, and Chen Mou had already heard of Mo Xiang's name, after all, Mo Xiang's talent was even talked about by the scholars in the imperial city.
At the table, Fang Ling directly appointed Mo Weigang to serve in the Ministry of Industry, and at the same time obtained Mo Xiang's consent, and also appointed him, and Mo Xiang became the first female official in Shicheng State.
The next day, Fang Ling immediately ordered the Mo family to start analyzing the materials of the Tiangong Divine Crossbow, because its structure was recorded in the "Mechanism Secret Technique", so with Mo Xiang's efforts, everything about the Tiangong Divine Crossbow was found out in just a few days.
Things were just as Fang Ling thought, it was not easy to make a Heavenly Crafted Divine Crossbow, the materials alone were very difficult to find, and the price was quite expensive.
For example, the crossbow arm is not made of ordinary ironwood, but a century-old ironwood.
Iron wood, also known as iron wood, is hard, not inferior to steel, and the weight is also extremely heavy, even if it is buried in the ground or water for a long time, it will not rot and deform, but because it is not easy to grow, there are very few people who are 100 years old.
