As soon as Chen Ze left, Zhang Dongjia and the others felt even more outrageous.

In these years, the powerful people look down on the common people as much as they want, anyway, in those powerful fields, the common people are similar to cattle and horses, and they come and go as soon as they are called.

Is the prince so close to the people?

The huge contrast is really a bit beyond everyone's comprehension.

However, at this time, the people of Zhang Dong's family did not have the heart to think about other things, if this banquet was not done, it was estimated that everyone would fall to the ground, and hurriedly beckoned their chef and men to get busy.

And after Chen Ze left the room, he naturally continued to explain his work.

Zhao Ziyun was responsible for receiving at the door, and then found a few spies who could write to register, and whoever had to write down how much money they had at that time.

Give less, Chen Ze doesn't mind letting the spies go over to find trouble.

For tonight's banquet, Chen Ze is naturally looking forward to it in his heart, and he doesn't know how much gift money he can receive in one breath for the first wave of leeks, if he can collect tens of thousands of taels of silver, it will be really refreshing.

Chen Ze has even set the first five-year plan for Qingzhou.

This five-year plan includes, but is not limited to, alcohol purification, cement manufacturing, steelmaking, gunpowder and other technologies.

The method is still the same method, gathering craftsmen from related professions to study and explore, and in the continuous trial and error, Chen Ze believes that he will definitely be able to study something.

However, this five-year plan needs to spend crazy money, because all the plans in the five-year plan need people to concentrate on research.

For example, in this sugar production, all the relevant personnel do not need to be busy with other work, and put all their energy into the research of white sugar, and the same is true for other programs, otherwise the people are busy with this and that, and they have no energy to study at all, what Chen Ze has to do is to solve the problems of their life and food, and devote himself to this research work.

And this is not a two-eyed groping, after all, Chen Ze can give a general direction, like cement, Chen Ze is relatively well understood, soil cement is nothing more than limestone, clay and iron powder, Chen Ze is not clear how to use a ratio, which needs to concentrate on the masons to ponder and study together.

Anyway, Chen Ze can be very clear, even if he doesn't know anything, as long as he can use people, give enough care and support, and be willing to spend money, there will inevitably be a certain technology that will directly blossom and bear fruit!

And when this technology begins to be monetized, more people will inevitably invest in the research of these technologies!

Maybe in his lifetime, Chen Ze can even see the industrial revolution start in the era of Great Chu!

Ahead!

Of course, it hasn't started yet, Chen Ze knows that it makes no sense to think so much, and he still has to go out step by step.

In a blink of an eye, the sixteenth birthday of the prince of Zhennan began.

Zhao Ziyun was already waiting at the door, and one after another, the magnates of Qingzhou came to the banquet.

And most of these people came to the feast, and most of them had their servants carry boxes.

This came to the door and saluted Zhao Ziyun, and opened the box to show the neat silver taels inside, obviously the pain in his heart was to death, but the smile on his face was as bright as it was, and he had to say that it was really an honor to be able to participate in the sixteenth birthday of the prince.

Chen Ze even took the initiative to explain and asked Zhao Ziyun to watch people put down dishes.

Like those Qingzhou clans, such as the Wu family, the Zhao family, etc., they have to speak politely, and they have to behave quite enthusiastically, after all, these are first-class leeks, and it won't take long to grow them again after cutting a stubble.

A little less powerful, such as Guan Pinghou and the like, can be a little more indifferent, and the shelves of the palace can be released a little, this is a second-class leek.

The ones who ordered it again were those officials in Qingzhou, as long as the attitude was lukewarm, third-class leeks, and the growth and development rate was average.

In the end, there are those landlords and squires, anyway, Qin Boyang specially named a few landlords and old wealth, Chen Ze was specially invited, no need to give a good face, this most inferior leeks are arranged in the back position, anyway, there is no use value after cutting this stubble.

Our Zhennan Wangfu is willing to send him a post, that is to look down on him, don't give him the opportunity to kick his nose in the face, and he must master the proportions.

Of course, Zhao Ziyun and Li Yuankang still have some concerns.

Will there be a problem with such an upright accumulation of wealth? And it's not good for the reputation of the son.

When Chen Ze heard it, he was happy.

I have 16th birthday, do I care about this?

Wang Fa?

Sorry, on the border of the eight southern states, the Zhennan Wangfu is the royal law.

If you have the ability, you should sue the court!

I wish you would sue, I don't have to hide it if you sue me, anyway, it's all torn up, if you stab me first, then don't blame me for ruthlessly raiding my house!

Anyway, the court can't help me for a while, and to punish me is tantamount to forcing the king of Zhennan to rebel.

It just so happens that my father hasn't made up his mind to rebel yet, and I have to thank you for forcing him.

Taking a step back, what are you suing?

Lao Tzu is not robbing money, I am inviting you to eat, I didn't force you to come!

You took the invitation yourself!

Anyway, Chen Ze was secretly excited when he looked at the boxes of silver and the stacks of silver tickets were delivered to the account room.

"Brother Boyang, quickly calculate how much silver we have collected now."

Qin Boyang hurriedly said: "Now it's a total of five thousand six hundred taels." ”

"Yes, yes, those big clans and magnates haven't shown up yet! This wave will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, to say the least. ”

"A countryman can actually come up with five hundred taels! This Liu Yuanwai wrote it down first. ”

"Huh? What do you write down? ”

"I had people go over and blackmail him every once in a while." Chen Ze said slowly: "When the silver in his hand is squeezed dry, then you can use the silver he gave to buy the title deed of his family, reduce the price, and reduce the price fiercely, and you will distribute it to the people after the land is bought." ”

“……”

Qin Boyang looked at Chen Ze in disbelief: "Son, this ...... Isn't that a little too vicious? Forced to death? ”

"Just name these landlords and squires, how many people have been forced to die, and how many families have been ruined? You know at least twenty or thirty households! Chen Ze snorted coldly and said, "God doesn't care, the court doesn't care, then I'll take care of it!" ”

"I'll call the shots for them!"

"Brother Boyang, kindness is only given to people with humanity, and those who achieve great things are not informal, don't be merciful when you should be ruthless!"

"Yes, teachable."

Besides, that's where it goes!

These people can also be kept for Lu Qingyun to hold a public trial meeting to establish the people's support and establish a mass base, and only then can they be beheaded.

It's been properly arranged.

It's not like there are no kind magnates these days.

Yes, very little.

In addition to the foresters in Qingzhou, there is also a loyal and brave marquis in addition to the king.

The Lin family is now Fu Yanran in charge, eating his old books and living by collecting rent.

Wang Yuanwai is still alive, he gives porridge to the people every three or five days, he has done a lot of good deeds, and the people have a very good reputation, Chen Ze has seen this little old man personally give porridge, and he looks very kind.

The Marquis of Zhongyong is in the countryside house, basically does not come to Qingzhou, it is considered a seclusion, I heard that he is working in the field and enjoying with the people.

If you want to know who is really good, just ask the people.

The eyes of the masses were bright.

Such people can stand in the same camp as the broad masses of the people.

Such people deserve to live a long life, have a lot of wealth, a prosperous family, have more than enough every year, and their children and grandchildren are healthy......
