Chapter 39: The Young Man of Changyi Country

"However, the widow still needs you, are you willing to do something for the widow in this Changyi palace, do something for the people of Changyi, and do something for this big man?"

In Dahan, one day is a slave, and a lifetime is a slave; One life is a slave, and the next generation is a slave.

If you want to get rid of the status of a slave and maid, you can only hope for the gift of the master's family.

Some of these slaves' parents are no longer there, and some of them have been separated from their parents since they were children, and like Liu He, they are also "lonely people", and they will inevitably be infected with some bad habits.

However, they have gradually grown up in heavy labor, and they know what civil suffering is.

At this moment, Liu He took off their lowly status, just like their father and brother.

How can a father and brother not obey when they speak?

"Willing to share the worries of His Highness!"

From this moment on, all the evil slaves in Changyi Palace were wiped out, but in the ashes, the young man of Changyi walked out.

"Okay, then stand up for me!"

Under Liu He's order, all the young men in Changyi stood up and looked at Liu He.

"From today on, you will obey Dai Zong's dispatch and work with him in the palace to read, read, strengthen your body, and practice martial arts."

"Lead by example inside the palace and hoe the strong and help the weak outside the palace."

"I hope that you can have the spirit of a ranger in the early Han Dynasty."

"Yui!"

After Liu He took Changyi Young Lang under his command, he let Ma Yanshou return to the front yard.

When Ma Yanshou looked at the group of young men from Changyi who poked on the ground like sharp swords, he felt a little shocked.

How could this group of young people, who had just been in ashes, exude a murderous aura from the inside out at this moment?

"They said they had already changed it, so I would take them back, thanks to the engineer for training them for me."

Ma Yanshou was panicked for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand and didn't dare to accept it.

"I came to the worker today for three main reasons."

"This is the first thing that the Changyi County Engineer collected miscellaneous fees from the workshop without authorization, and I believe that Ma Yuanjun will handle this matter properly."

Ma Yanshou once again said yes.

"This second thing is the matter of this group of young men, I will bring them back today, and I will not bother the horse envoy again."

Ma Yanshou nodded again and again.

"This last thing is to ask Ma Yuanjun to do me a favor."

Ma Yanshou has always admired Liu He so much, and now when he heard Liu He say that he asked him to help the staff officer, he felt deeply honored, and immediately said that he would never say anything.

"I want to build a workshop in Changyi Palace, so can I hire a craftsman for my use?"

In addition to the construction of various utensils for officials, the engineer also has to manage the craftsmen in the county, Liu He wants to hire a craftsman like Meng Ban, so he naturally has to ask Ma Yanshou, so as not to fall behind.

"The peasant households in this kind of land pay the rent, and the skilled craftsmen naturally have to pay a labor tax, but other than that, there is no difference between the two, whether they open their own workshop or are employed by others, and the workers do not interfere."

"There are some artisans who can't get a job and will sell themselves into slavery, and neither the industrial officials nor the prime minister will interfere."

Liu He understood, and in this way, there was basically no obstacle to recruiting craftsmen by himself.

"Thank you for your advice."

"Under the door. Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”

Several things were handled smoothly in the Gongguan Land, and seeing that it was still early, Liu He asked Ma Yanshou to visit the Gongguan of Changyi Country.

Ma Yanshou was already admiring Liu He, and he was still worried about the unauthorized collection of miscellaneous fees by the Changyi County workers, so he agreed without saying a word, and took Liu He to watch it in the workers' office.

In the past two years, Liu He gave the engineer a lot of patterns, which made Ma Yanshou rated as "the most" in the regular classes for two consecutive years.

But Liu He is still the first time to come to the engineering officer, because when there are new patterns and processes to try with the help of the engineering officer, Liu He is sent to talk about them, and he just sits behind the scenes and commands.

The main reason for this operation is to avoid people's eyes, after all, no matter how small this engineer is, he is also a government office of the Han Dynasty.

And today, with this opportunity, of course Liu He will not miss it, he plans to take a closer look, have a comprehensive understanding of the situation of the Han engineers, and also find some experience and models for the Changyi engineers he is preparing to establish.

After saying a few words to the young men of Changyi who had just become free in the front yard, Liu He took Dai Zongze, accompanied by Ma Yanshou, to walk around the workers.

Liu He couldn't look at people with his true face, so he always carried the hat that could cover most of his face.

But this peculiar shape attracted the sideways glances of the craftsmen and prisoners, who could not understand why this usually strict and unsympathetic engineer would be so respectful to this strange man.

After walking out of the front yard, Ma Yanshou asked Liu He which workshop he wanted to see.

Liu He didn't answer directly, but asked Ma Yanshou in turn: "Ma Yuanjun, can you tell me how many workshops there are in this engineer, and which ones they are?" ”

"Because of the different products in each county, the workshops set up in the workers are also different."

"Like the workers of my Changyi country, there are lacquer workshops, pottery workshops, woodware workshops and bow making workshops, each of which is presided over by a sifu man, and the number of people varies."

Liu He of the first three workshops could guess what it was doing without listening, because these things were all objects used by ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, and what he didn't expect was that the bows and crossbows used by the army were also handed over to the workshop.

Liu He has read a lot of books and can remember a lot of things in his mind, but the Han is too far away from the era in which he lives, and many records are unknown, so Liu He can only know a general idea, or even only hear one or two words.

Take this engineer as an example, Liu He knew that there was this bureau, but he didn't know how the engineer actually operated, so he could only ask word by word.

"Is this weapon also supervised by the engineer?"

"It depends on how you say it, in fact, the iron officer makes the iron parts, and the engineering officer makes the bamboo and wood and other parts and finally puts them together."

"It seems that this iron official should actually be included in the engineering officer, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be improper cooperation."

Ma Yanshou, who had always obeyed Liu He's orders, didn't speak this time, just slid over with a haha.

There is no other reason, the monopoly of salt and iron is a national policy set by Emperor Xiaowu, after the turmoil of the salt and iron conference, the county officials are still implementing it, which is not something that he can put in the beak of a small engineer.

Or even Liu He, the prince and king, is not qualified to evaluate, or even if he does, what is the use?

Liu He naturally saw Ma Yanshou's evasion on this issue, and did not continue to ask, so he led the topic in a new direction.
