Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 199 What Happened in One Month
The matter of the world map came to an end. For nearly a month, the imperial court did not mention anything about sending people to North America, but only Wang Pingan knew that Li Er was actively preparing and might have already sent people there.

There is no other reason. After the court that day, Wang Pingan was called by Li Er and asked to write down the precautions for the North Pole, and he wanted to be detailed. This let him know Li Er's plan.

And Wang Pingan also told Li Er about the academy, as long as Li Er can support himself, he will definitely be able to build a big ship that can go to sea in the future.However, he was scolded back by Li Er for being too ambitious, and told him to fix the commercial plaza first before talking about the academy.

This is also Wang Ping'an's fault, there are too many things at hand, special forces need to be recruited, weapons need to be developed, commercial plazas need to be built, and there are five statues. , I really don't have time to build the academy.

In the past month, Wang Ping'an has been going to the special forces camp and the commercial plaza twice, and has no time to take care of other things. He didn't even participate in the debate competition that Li Er asked him to participate in. After Li Er found out, he ruthlessly Beat him up, that's right, spank his ass with a cane.

This month, the Special Forces has recruited a thousand reserve soldiers. They are currently training, and they are waiting for the assessment in three months. Those who pass are called real special forces. Those who perform better can stay as reserve special forces and replace regulars at any time The selection of special forces puts a certain amount of pressure on those special forces.

But he was the shopkeeper, and the training was handed over to Qin Huaiyu, and he mainly went to the weapon development camp, where there were many Mohists and public losers who were used to researching weapons.

According to Wang Ping'an's statement, they developed a batch of weapons unique to the special forces, as well as a mechanism crossbow for cavalry, based on the principle of machinery. Wang Ping'an tested it and fixed the mechanism crossbow in front of the cavalry. When the mechanism was pressed, the rotation of the mechanical gear sounded. A continuous stream of arrows was shot out from the small holes of these mechanical crossbow boxes, with a strong force, they wounded and killed the retired horses in front, and the power was astonishing.

After a month of development and construction, the commercial plaza has begun to take shape. Wang Ping'an, the Mohists, the public losers, and the Ministry of Industry worked together to study the construction drawings.

After getting the results, Wang Pingan even asked them to build a model of a commercial square. After the build, all participants were amazed by the model they created. The unprecedented architectural style, statues, fountains, water pavilions, small rivers, and parks ...Wait, the whole model gives people a grand momentum, but also has a warm and comfortable feeling.

Who knows how Li Er found out about this, and sent someone to move the model to the palace when he said he wanted to visit, but he still hasn't returned, which made Wang Ping'an very depressed, and he even went to the palace I was late to ask Li Er several times, but Li Er refused to watch it on the grounds that the queen was still watching.

Well, Wang Ping'an went to find the eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson said that the model was so ingenious that the princes and princesses should appreciate it, so it was temporarily placed in the palace for a few days before returning it.

Now that the eldest grandson has spoken, he can only put the model in the palace. I heard that Li Er also asked people to paint and reinforce the model, and put it in his imperial study.

Wang Ping'an was very angry at the time, but what depressed him the most was that the craftsmen from Mobei, Gongshujia, and the Ministry of Industry were very happy, saying that it was their blessing to be recognized by the emperor for their works, and even more so. It's the ancestors who smoked.

In the end, Mo Bei and the others were asked to comfort Wang Pingan, saying that they had an experience, so they could just make a model, and a new model appeared on the construction site two days later.

There are five thousand prisoners working on the construction site, and Wang Pingan arranges them separately. Some death row prisoners have very heavy work, and they are guarded by the army. That's a lot of pounds.

There are not only prisoners on the construction site, but also many women and children, all of whom add up to nearly 2 people. Basically, one woman takes care of two children, big and small.

These women and children were sent by Wang Ping'an to invite the wives and children of the prisoners to work. He told them that they could meet their husband-in-law when they came to work here, and they also arranged for a teacher to teach the children to read and write, so most of the family members of the prisoners are here.

Therefore, there are many simple large houses near the construction site, which can only provide shelter from the wind and rain, sleeping for women, children and prisoners at night, and serving as classrooms for children during the day.

After the establishment of this temporary private school, it quickly spread to all the villages near Chang'an. The children of the honest farmers all came here especially, hoping to let their children also be able to read and write.

Seeing this situation, Wang Pingan also readily agreed to those farmers, but asked them to send some vegetables and grains to the construction site every day. Meals for more than 2 people are not a small amount.

In line with the fine tradition of diligence and thrift, Wang Pingan asked those women to open a large vegetable garden and build a large farm for everyone to eat.

By the way, he also taught those women a few dishes, and soon the food on the construction site was well received by everyone, especially the prisoner husbands of the women who cooked delicious dishes. From time to time, he often brags in front of other prisoners, which attracts countless stares.

On the construction site of the commercial square, there were no disputes. The prisoners could see their wives and children every day, and they were very satisfied. What’s more, Wang Ping’an asked his master to teach their children to read and write. When it comes to craftsmanship, this makes them feel happy even though they do heavy work every day.

The commercial plaza was going smoothly, which made Wang Ping'an and the major investors very happy, especially after seeing the model of the commercial plaza, they became more sure that they could earn more money in the future.

During this month, Zhao Hao learned about the distribution and relationship network of each hall in Chang'an, and planted many confidantes in each hall. He thought that instead of establishing a new hall, it is better to directly control a hall.

He took a fancy to a hall, without any background, composed of famous workers, their main scope of activities is the wharf of Chang'an, they call themselves the Qinghai Gang, Zhao Hao is currently in the Qinghai Gang, and they have a small boss as their leader .
