Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 152 Full Commencement ([-])

Hurrying quickly, the Marquis of Anguo finally ushered in the wedding of Liu Hongjian and Yang Xue two days ago.

Although he didn't make a fuss, and he didn't entertain too many guests, but the emperor gave enough face.

Not only sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts, but also named Yang Xue as his wife.

After Liu Hongjian was promoted to marquis, Sun Xiuxiu naturally became the marquis, and now even the second wife of Nana has become a royal order, which shows the emperor's favor and trust in Liu Hongjian.

As Liu Hongjian was the prince's teacher, Zhu Cihong naturally sent his servants to congratulate him. The small wedding was extraordinarily grand.

After going through ups and downs, Yang Xue finally got her wish and married the man she had in mind. She couldn't help but shed tears on the wedding day.

However, in less than two days, the honeymoon between Liu Hongjian and Yang Xue was interrupted by an uninvited guest.

Feng Dunhou rushed from Xishan in a hurry, saying that there were many craftsmen from Beizhili and Shuntianfu, as well as farmers from various Huangzhuang villages, from the Thousand Households of Wansui Mountain, and the scene was a little out of control.

As a last resort, Liu Hongjian had no choice but to get up from the gentle village, and followed Feng Dunhou to Xishan.

Xishan, Longevity Mountain Thousand Households.

The soldiers of the Qianhusuo had returned as scheduled after the five-day holiday. They fought outside for half a year and won a lot of rewards.

With these rewards, the elders of the family can live a good year, drink water and remember the source, the teenagers have an unprecedented sense of identity with Qianhusuo, and their admiration and admiration for Liu Hongjian are even greater.

In the past few days, there have been craftsmen from Beizhili and Shuntianfu who have come to answer the call, as well as people from various Huangzhuangs.

Although Liu Hongjian clearly ordered Min Zhuang to recruit only from Huangzhuang, and craftsmen to only accept shift craftsmen, but many craftsmen who are no longer in this range also want to try their luck.

The number of people gathered more and more, and today there are as many as thousands of people.

Even though most of the soldiers from the Qianhu Office came out to maintain order, it was still a bit tight. There was no way. The young people were influenced by Liu Hongjian on weekdays, and they couldn't bear to reprimand these miserable people.

"Master Hou is here, everyone be quiet, be quiet!" Chen Mingyu stood on a high place, saw Liu Hongjian and Feng Dunhou riding horses from a distance, and hurriedly maintained order.

Most of the folks and craftsmen in front of the camp stopped discussing after hearing the words.

"Old Chen, what's going on? Why are there so many people here?" Liu Hongjian frowned.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are following the orders of Lord Marquis, and only selected [-] village households who can build walls and [-] people from the many imperial villages.

But with so many people getting errands, it was difficult to block the news. When the people around heard that this place was recruiting workers, they all ran to try their luck, and the same was true for those craftsmen.

Alas, Lord Hou, the common people are miserable, and most of the craftsmen are in rags, and they have eaten their last meal without their next meal. "

Speaking of this, Chen Mingyu's eyes were red. Many people had come here the day before yesterday to wait for requisition. Due to the cold weather and the lack of dry food, several of them froze to death and starved to death early this morning.

After hearing Chen Mingyu's statement, Liu Hongjian felt heavy in his heart.

In addition to the construction of a large-scale comprehensive research institute, several cellars will be built for this recruitment. After a while, the potatoes and sweet potatoes collected from the south will be shipped in for breeding and seedling raising.

According to the original plan, [-] wall builders, plus [-] civilians, are enough.

As for the first phase of the project, Liu Hongjian didn't intend to recruit too many craftsmen, after all, the research institute was not built well, and it was useless to recruit so many people.

But right now there must be at least 3000 ordinary people in front of the camp, and nearly a thousand artisans also came.

Everyone looked at Liu Hongjian, Marquis of Anguo, on the high platform with piercing eyes. Some of them knew about the Qianhu House in Longevity Mountain, and some of them knew that it was the young man in front of him who turned the tide and drove away the bandit-like peasant army.

They hoped that An Guohou would give them an errand, even if it was coolie work, as long as they could survive and have something to eat, they would be happy.

Seeing Liu Hongjian standing in front of the stage, just frowning and not speaking, from nowhere, rows of common people fell to their knees on the ground like waves.

They also knew that no matter how rich and merciful Hou Ye was, it would be impossible to recruit them all, and all of them kept silent, kneeling in the snow and waiting for Hou Ye's instructions.

The cold wind was blowing, but the front of the camp became extremely quiet. Two thousand soldiers guarded the surrounding area, leaving only the sound of the cold wind blowing their shirts.

That's all, isn't it just 2000 more people?

At worst, the first phase and the second phase of the project will start together.

The comprehensive research institute and the cellar are the first phase, and they are also the most in demand. In the second phase, a textile workshop and a glass workshop need to be built.

The first two are for spending money, while the latter two are for earning money.

At present, the production process of Ming Dynasty can only produce colored glaze. Although glass has been produced in the West, the clarity and quality are very poor.

Although he is not a chemical major, firing glass is not a high-tech, not to mention that it is also mentioned in the basics of light industry, which is better than painting a gourd. Liu Hongjian believes that when his glass is produced, it will definitely cause a sensation.

Furthermore, there are textile workshops. With the "Earl Spinning Machine", the spinning speed is more than ten times faster, which is a business opportunity.

After building a workshop, workers must be recruited. In order to facilitate the workers to live after work, it is necessary to build houses in Xishan.

Moreover, Liu Hongjian had long intended to take over the families of the brothers from the Thousand Households and arrange them together. Firstly, it was convenient to take care of them. When visiting relatives, they would not have to travel long distances home. Secondly, since the textile workshop was built, these women could also have a job. .

After such a calculation, it would cost a lot of money to build so many projects, Liu Hongjian thought secretly.

Although the emperor had said earlier that the cost of the research institute and the cellar could be directly reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Liu Hongjian did not intend to incorporate these industries into the imperial court.

For one thing, once the workshop became public, it changed completely.

Secondly, the money is paid by the imperial court, so it is inevitable that there are many considerations in the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and they cannot be handy.

And the most important point, apart from solving the food problem of these poor people by the way, these workshops will be a cornucopia of money in the future.

There is also the research institute to be built. In the future, the blueprints in Liu Hongjian's hands will be needed to develop new types of artillery, firearms, and ammunition. These are all secrets and must be firmly held in his own hands.

In his Hou's mansion, there are 120 million taels of the emperor's wool privately hidden when he came back from Shanxi, plus the 40 taels awarded to him by Chongzhen, for a total of 160 million taels.

It costs money to hire craftsmen, folks, and workers, as well as equipment, bricks, wood, etc., as well as food, all of which need money. Although his family is rich.

But I don't know how long it can last. When I run out of money, the big deal is to find someone to join the group, but the control must be in my own hands.

After trying to understand these things, Liu Hongjian finally made up his mind.

He cleared his throat and stepped forward to signal the people to get up.
