After staring at the first "small steel factory" in his hand for a long time, Zhao Chengcai led the crowd down the city tower and wandered directly in Wucheng.

The pattern of Wucheng is like that of most cities, the more you go to the center, the richer you are, and the closer you are to the city walls, the poorer you are.

Because Wucheng used to be a trading city, the layout of the edge circle is subtle different from that of ordinary cities, and there are many houses, although they are close to the edge of the city wall, but they are very empty.

Such a house is for merchants who come and go, and use it to stack goods.

That was all in the past, though.

Since Zhao Cheng took Wucheng, it was followed by a killing, and these properties that originally belonged to the big clans in the city were all owned by Ying Tianjun.

And even if it is not guilty of any offense against the common people, in this battle alone, seventy percent of Wucheng's real estate belongs to Ying Tianjun, which shows the wealth of the big family.

Of course, if these big clans don't have two hearts, Zhao Cheng actually can't look down on this thing, the house is just a little earth and stone, as long as there are people in his hands, just like he is in the mountains, in an instant, he can build a mansion.

At the end of the day, the most precious resource in the world is population, not anything else.

These houses were taken, and Zhao Cheng did not directly distribute them to the people, but changed them into workshops and schools.

At this moment, when Zhao Cheng walked on the street, he could hear the sound of immature reading in the houses on both sides, or the sound of labor.

The sound of reading is the school, and the movement of labor is the workshop, and whether it is the school or the workshop, it is not closed.

Zhao Cheng looked at the nearest workshop, in this workshop, many men are cutting wood little by little, these people are very handy, not ingenious at all, even if it is a simple cutting of wood, it is not very successful, but most of them are very attentive.

The reason is also simple, when Wu Cheng was still in Wu Qi's hands, but all the handicraft work, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people, if you want to learn, at least you have to do more than ten years of cattle and horses for the master, in order to learn a few hands, some secrets, but also to serve for a lifetime, to the master to provide for the elderly, are not necessarily available.

And now, not only do you not have to be a cow or a horse to learn this, but you even have a meritorious leader.

Now in Wucheng, money is no longer of much use, and Ying Tianjun's exploits are something that is more valuable than gold.

Whether it is to exchange food, or all kinds of daily necessities, or even to get the opportunity to sign up to become a militia, you need to exchange it for merit.

This incident also made many people regret that they did not join the militia earlier, and now, if they want to join, they must either be brave, they can lift a 200-pound stone and walk a special sequence, or they will accumulate enough meritorious deeds.

As for the militia, they also regretted that they had replenished the personnel of the Yingtian Army several times, but they had missed them.

Now if you want to take the assessment to join the Ying Tianjun, you can either go directly to the special sequence and join by force, or you can accumulate enough meritorious service and pass the assessment of the normal process.

People are undoubtedly the strangest thing, when the threshold for recruitment of the Heavenly Army was very low, everyone was unwilling, but now that the threshold is up, many people want to get in.

Of course, this is not cheap, but the power of the system.

If a gap is formed with the system, a centripetal force will naturally arise.

And the source of this power is profit.

Now that Wu Cheng is the world of Ying Tianjun, joining Ying Tianjun is not only better treated, but also in terms of status and status, he is also a high-ranking civilian, in this case, it is extremely attractive.

As for Zhao Cheng, he also nodded when he saw this scene at this moment.

If the wealthy clan in the city is still there, if he does this kind of thing, it will naturally be "the people's grievances are everywhere", and a bunch of people who have been bought by the wealthy clan will sabotage it in all kinds of ways, so that his decree cannot operate at all.

But now, although many people are not comfortable with the sudden change, they can feel that everything is getting better.

As for the school, Zhao Cheng didn't go to see it, but he knew that it was full of children.

In today's Wucheng, children over the age of five can enter the hall, and the school manages two meals, in this case, naturally no parents are unwilling.

However, every child can learn for three years, and after three years, if he can pass the assessment, he can continue his studies, if he does not learn well, it proves that he is not this material, and he must choose a craft as an apprentice to learn to support himself.

It is also Zhao Cheng who has now made chemical fertilizers, and he is not worried about the follow-up food problems, otherwise he would not dare to let so many people go out of production.

Zhao Chengcheng was like this, leading everyone all the way forward, and listening to the movements on both sides.

Even closer to the center of the city, there are workshops and schools, but the content taught in them is completely different.

Among them, the workshop is located, but many craftsmen gather together, study and discuss various things, a thriving appearance.

These craftsmen are the most flexible minds among the craftsmen, and they are gathered together for innovative research, of course, Zhao Cheng is currently responsible for providing ideas, and these people are studying how to monetize according to the ideas.

Among them, the current research directions are mainly wooden carts that are convenient for transportation, bows and crossbows for warfare, and then various agricultural tools, as well as the exploration of steam engines.

However, the steam engine is currently limited by the quality of steel and production capacity.

In this regard, Zhao Cheng only listened outside for a while, and did not go in, but he remembered a name named Luda.

This person, a native of Wucheng, has not read any books, but he has an extremely rare imagination in this era, and he is a good seedling.

And not far from the workshop, there is the school.

At this moment, there was also a sound in the school, but it was not the sound of reciting the words of the book, and the content was not the article of the sages and the strategy of governing the country.

It is how to plant the land, how to plan the acres of land reasonably, how to motivate farmers to plant the land, how to deal with ...... in case of disasters, and so on.

The school in this place cultivates not the so-called scholars, but officials.

In this place, what is cultivated is the agricultural officer, or rather, the reserve of the agricultural officer.

In addition, there are also schools that specialize in training officials in charge of local security, administrative planning, and local governance.

Subsequently, Zhao Cheng unified the Southern Wilderness, as long as he laid down a land, these people could take office directly, and there was no vacancy period.

Unlike in today's era, where a county order is the one who holds all the rights, which can be called the situation of Bailihou, Zhao Cheng splits the rights, one official, only one thing, and cannot enforce the law across the system.

Such a split of rights is undoubtedly conducive to development and stability.

Otherwise, there will definitely be absurd things such as the county lord who can't farm the land, the county lord who can't build the land, the county lord who can't build the house, and the craftsman who instructs the craftsman on how to build a house.

And I also know that if you read well, you can directly become an official later, and you don't have to read the articles of the sages hard, as long as you specialize in one piece, in this case, the people in Wucheng not only do not resist going to night school, but are more enthusiastic.

As for if someone says something bad, complains, or sabotages the matter, it is undoubtedly a credit to others.
