After taking care of Li Yi, Zhao Jun turned his attention to Jiang He again.
Feeling Zhao Jun's gaze, Jiang He, who had just been sneaking around to fish, immediately concentrated on listening carefully, ready to respond to the prince's inquiries at any time.
He felt that he could do better than the county governor in civil affairs.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Jun glanced at him, then sighed and looked away!
Jiang He: "???"
The fat county lieutenant Zhu Tuo, who was silently muttering to the side that he should not come after him, suddenly found that the prince's eyes had turned to his head, and his breathing stopped for an instant. He slowly raised his head and looked at the man who was looking at him with an embarrassed look on his face. Zhao Jun.
Unlike Li Yi and Jiang He, he knew that he was a mascot from the moment he took this position, so he always followed the principle of being an invisible person, doing his own thing well, and being a transparent person silently.
His presence among the three chief officials in Yunzhou County has always been the lowest. Many people don't even recognize that he, a chubby man, is the third administrative figure in Yunzhou County.
Looking at the fat Zhu Tuo, Zhao Jun asked: "Zhu Junwei, you are the chief officer in charge of Yunzhou County's military affairs. Although the guard army is not under your control, the three squadrons of yamen and the patrolling Wuhou are under your direct jurisdiction.
There are more and more refugees these days. I hope that the three squads of government officials and street patrols under you can maintain the public security and stabilize the order in Yunzhou City. This should be no problem, right? "
Zhu Tuo nodded quickly, as if the fat on his face was about to be shaken off.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the third team of yamen officers and the low-level officials from the patrol Wuhou will make them strictly enforce the law, and they will definitely ensure the order and stability of everything in Yunzhou City!"
Zhu Tuo promised firmly.
If it were originally so many refugees, how could he manage them with the few people he had!
But when there are more refugees, there are more people. Not all of the refugees belong to the common people.
Some counties were in such difficulty that even three shifts of government officials could not afford to support them, so they all ended up in Yunzhou County.
After learning about the existence of these people, Zhu Tuo went out of his way to bring back all these professional talents and greatly expanded the third class of yamen under his command.
Now that his troops are strong, he is still confident that he can ensure the security of Yunzhou County.
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Jiang He who was doing some wax work and asked: "How many blacksmiths are there in the hands of the county governor's Yamen now?"
Jiang He, who was suddenly noticed again, felt a sense of surprise when Zhao Jun asked him this question. After hearing this, he immediately replied:
"Back to your lord, during the last census yesterday, there were a total of 1,412 blacksmiths recruited by our Yunzhou County. Today there is a new batch of refugees. This number should reach more than 500 today. .”
"Fifteen hundred..."
Zhao Jun repeated the number in a low voice and frowned.
Li Yi on the side saw it and asked quickly: "My lord, what do you want these blacksmiths to do?"
Zhao Jun didn’t hide it from me, he nodded directly and said:
"The king has some new things that these blacksmiths need to do, but the confidentiality of that matter is extremely high. Before the king gives permission, everyone involved can no longer have contact with the outside world, and the work is relatively dangerous.
Nowadays, the number of blacksmiths in the hands of the Yamen is only about 1,500. The construction of the city and the construction of the new city will inevitably require a large number of blacksmiths. There is no shortage of places for these blacksmiths. I don’t know how to recruit some blacksmiths who are willing to remain anonymous for several years or even several years. "
In fact, with Zhao Jun's status as the Cloud King, he could force some blacksmiths to conduct research on firearms secretly and forcibly prevent them from contacting the outside world. However, Zhao Jun believed that this was disadvantageous, and the blacksmiths who were forced to do so were definitely unwilling to do so. , then he will definitely want to escape in the end.
As the saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days.
There are so many people doing research, and with so many people and mixed eyes, it is impossible for everyone to keep a close eye on it. If one or two people come out, everything they have studied will be in vain.
So instead of doing this, it is better to find some volunteers from the beginning. These people's resistance will not be too strong. As long as the treatment is good enough, they can continue to work more stably without any unexpected consequences. trouble.
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Li Yi, Jianghe and Zhu Tuo all started thinking.
After a long time, Zhu Tuo's eyes suddenly lit up and he suggested: "Your Majesty, I think this is okay! The third team of Yamen and Wu Hou under Xianguan discovered during their patrols these days that many blacksmiths are actually alone. There may be only one or two family members left.
These are all because their original main business was not to produce food, and their ability to withstand risks after the drought was extremely poor.
The official thinks that we can find some blacksmiths who have a lot of family members and their families are not doing very well, recruit them into this project, and promise them generous rewards to lose their personal freedom and voluntarily remain anonymous. "
Zhao Jun didn't understand what he said, so he asked: "Oh? What do you mean, why do you want to recruit people with more family members?"
Zhu Tuo chuckled and explained: "Look, my lord, with the current conditions in Yunzhou County, most of the skilled blacksmiths can find a good job, which can not only support themselves but also one or two relatives around them." All more than enough.
For them, they are simply unwilling to have their personal freedom restricted in order to get better remuneration.
But it's different when there are many family members. In the past, it was okay for a family like this to have land, and the rest of the family could be completely self-reliant.
But those who are willing to stay in our Yunzhou County and are unwilling to go to Nanli County have no land status.
The whole family's livelihood depends on the blacksmith. Even if the blacksmith can earn a lot of money nowadays, it can't subsidize that much of the household. So for the sake of their family, they will definitely be willing to accept us even if we spend an unusually large amount of money. conditions of.
Moreover, having many family members also means that there are many weaknesses, and our maneuverability is also high. There are so many family members living in Yunzhou County, so it is okay not to agree, and we will not specifically target them.
But if they agree and then go back on their word, they have to consider what consequences it will have on their families?
The person who is willing to accept such conditions must be a very responsible person, so that we can firmly hold it in our hands without worrying about what other thoughts he has.
Because even if he has other thoughts, he has to suppress them as long as he thinks about his family! "
Zhao Jun suddenly realized after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Tuo, a fat guy with a somewhat surprised look. He didn't expect that this guy looked honest and honest, but he was so vicious in his control and restriction of people's hearts. Speaking of this He had a nonchalant look on his face, obviously not ashamed to use other people's family members to coerce others.
He is really a...good subordinate!
What he, Zhao Jun, needs is this kind of person. As long as he can achieve his goal, Zhao Jun doesn't care too much about the necessary means and means, as long as he operates within a certain bottom line. After all, it's all about getting things done.
Feeling the strange gaze cast by Zhao Jun, Zhu Tuo twisted his body in confusion and asked uneasily: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this official?"
Zhao Jun turned around and waved his hand: "No, it's fine. I just think your boy is chubby and cute."
Zhu Tuo: "???"
The other two people: "???"
Is Zhu Tuo cute?
A cute fat man who can come up with such vicious ways to control people?
Everyone couldn't help but have black lines on their heads. Li Yi and Jiang He even looked at Zhu Tuo and Wang Ye back and forth several times, and then their eyes suddenly became weird.
Zhu Tuo also suddenly felt a chill in his back. He subconsciously raised his fat buttocks and took half a step back!
