In the fiefdom's political affairs hall, Tang Jian and a dozen other senior officials were waiting at this moment. In addition to Tang Jian and others, there were also Ye Ziyan, Ye Chen, Su Qianmo, Luo Qingcen, Luo Yunniang, and Luo Yunxi.
They all have their own responsibilities. Although Luo Yuniang is almost nine months pregnant, she still devotes herself to the construction of the fiefdom. Although Luo Yunxi and Ye Chen are very young, they are already familiar with the affairs of the fiefdom.
After learning from others for a period of time, I was able to take charge of some projects alone, and I did a pretty good job.
For example, Luo Yunxi was responsible for the cultural education of the fiefdom. The reading and literacy of the residents of the fief was under her management.
Ye Chen is responsible for the fief's weapons manufacturing management and coordination, Ye Ziyan is responsible for the fief's external trade, Luo Qingcen is responsible for the training of intelligence personnel, and Su Qianmo is responsible for the training of the guard army.
Luo Yanniang is responsible for the operation of various workshops in the fief, while Tang Jian is responsible for overall coordination and planning. There are also people responsible for people's livelihood and farming.
These people in the Political Affairs Office are high-level officials selected after screening. All of them are trustworthy and have outstanding abilities.
After Yunze returned to the fiefdom, he didn't have time to get together with Luo Yanniang and others. He began to prepare to fight against the imperial guards sent by Song Ji. This time, he was going to completely break with Song Ji.
Next, it depends on how much Song Ji will pay attention to him and how many troops he will send to deal with them. However, no matter how many troops are sent, Yunze is not afraid.
He just needs to develop slowly now, and Song Ji is very worried now, so he doesn't have much energy to deal with him. As long as he can repel Song Ji's first wave of attacks, the follow-up should be relatively safe.
The intelligence sent back from Liangshan indicated that the construction of Liangshan was on track. With the training of special warriors sent by Yunze, coupled with cultural and ideological education, it would not be long before a tens of thousands of soldiers were trained. A strong army of men.
Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang also developed rapidly. The manpower they sent returned, and everything developed according to Yunze's expectations. I believe it won’t be long before we can keep up with the pace of the fiefdom.
"Tang Jian, how is the city defense built now?" Yunze looked at Tang Jian and said. The construction of city defense is the top priority. Yunze has not seen the entire fiefdom. What he is worried about now is city defense.
"Back to you, sir, all the city defenses have been built. Now only the finishing work is left. It will take about seven days to complete it." Tang Jian quickly replied respectfully.
"You arrange the manpower as soon as possible. It will be completed in three days at the latest. Also, Qianmo, how many combatable troops are there in the fief?" Yunze turned to look at Su Qianmo.
"The combatable army has 21,000 people. They have completed the preliminary training and are now entering the battle formation and fighting skills training." Su Qianmo followed.
"Organize your manpower and strengthen patrols on the city's defense. In addition, send out scouts to gather information around and put the escort into combat readiness." Yunze nodded.
He looked at Ye Chen again and said, "How are the weapons reserves in the fief?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen quickly stood up and said: "The weapons reserve can fully equip all soldiers, and the bamboo mine reserve has reached 100,000. This is due to the fear of expiration, so there is no mass production. Moreover, if the production is at full capacity, five can be produced in a day. There are as many as a thousand.”
"In addition, two thousand fire guns have been produced. The new Brother Luo and Brother Luo are already studying flintlock guns. It should not be long before they can be produced."
"Twenty thousand bows and bows were made, and 300,000 arrows were fired. They are still in reserve. There are about a thousand heavy bows and other bows. In terms of war horses, there are only 500 horses in reserve, half of which are from the Longtoushan Horse Farm. The newborn foal over there. There are only more than 200 useful war horses."
Ye Chen reported what he knew. When Yunze heard about the war horse, his brows moved. I feel a little excited, but also a little sad.
These war horses were traded with grassland merchants. Because of the long distance, many of the horses traded died on the road. And it’s also difficult to send it over the border. These were smuggled over.
However, as time goes by, the reserve of war horses will increase. Although there are many slaves made, there are still too few arrows. With 300,000 rounds, each slave can only have fifteen arrows.
At this time, Yunze turned to look at Ye Ziyan.
"In terms of business, Sister Zi Yan should pay attention to the situation everywhere to prevent damage... In addition, cooperate more with overseas businessmen. The most important thing is the introduction of rare ores. In addition, the top priority is rubber... Have those overseas businessmen found rubber?"
Hearing this, Ye Ziyan paused and said: "I understand, as for rubber, some time ago, an overseas businessman sent a batch of things that were said to be rubber. However, I don't know if they are what you want. The things have been accepted. Now Stacked in the warehouse, you can check it out at any time.”
Yunze looked overjoyed when he heard this. If there really is rubber, then the steam engine problem can be solved. There may be some difficulties in technical barriers in the early stage, but as long as they are solved, subsequent development will only get better and better.
If he didn't have something to do now, he would even want to go and see it now.
Yunze nodded, suppressed his thoughts, and looked at Luo Yunxi again.
"Yun Xi, how is the cultural education and ideological education in the fiefdom?"
"Brother-in-law, according to the teaching materials you gave, everyone in the fief can now read more than a thousand words. In addition, there are special kindergartens and junior schools. Among them, there are about a thousand children and teenagers... …”
Yunze nodded and gave Luo Yunxi an approving look. The little girl did quite well.
At this time, Yunze looked at Hua Yue again. This is the medical director of the fiefdom. In addition to researching various medicines, she also manages the medical department in the fief.
"Doctor Hua, how is the medical treatment you are responsible for now?"
"In terms of medical treatment, ten clinics have been established, which can basically meet the medical needs of the fiefdom. They have recruited nearly a hundred doctors and three hundred apprentices. In addition, some of the medical formulas you gave have been developed. Results, especially antibiotics."
Hearing this, Yunze nodded again. He was very satisfied with the various construction progress in the fiefdom. Although it had only been a short year, there had been considerable development.
After getting to know everyone more, he asked Ye Ziyan to take him to the warehouse to check the rubber. Others dispersed. Luo Yunniang originally wanted to follow, but she asked Yunze to send someone to send her back.
Although Luo Yunniang was in charge of the workshop at this time, Yunze found a helper for her most of the time, and that was Ye Ziyan's maid Xiao Tao.
When he arrived at the warehouse, he saw piles of yellow film. The moment he saw the film, Yunze was overjoyed. Sure enough, it was rubber after the rubber liquid had been dried. As long as a set of processing steps are carried out, it can be made into rubber.
"Sister Zi Yan, if you continue to purchase this thing, you can increase the order with those merchants. As much as you want. In addition, I will draw you a few more drawings, and you give them to Tang Jian and ask him to send the workers responsible for the construction. Build a workshop.”
"As for the production of rubber, I will write down the specific process. At that time, they can slowly experiment and wait until the experiment is successful before putting it into production."
Yunze said to Ye Ziyan.
Ye Ziyan nodded after hearing this. The rubber piece in front of me is about a hundred cubic meters, but these are still too few. It is definitely enough for initial experiments.
After arranging all this, Yunze went to the city defense tower again. The walls of the fiefdom were not built high, about five meters, which was nearly half lower than the walls of those big cities.
But it is enough. At such a height, coupled with the advanced equipment in the fief, it is absolutely impossible to capture the fief even if a large army comes to attack.
Not to mention, there are not only enough soldiers in the fief, but also sufficient food reserves. Even if you are surrounded for several years, you don’t have to worry about problems. After all, the fiefdom can be self-sufficient.
When the guards on the city wall saw Yunze coming, they all bowed respectfully. In Yunze's military training, these people were asked to respect themselves and love themselves. Therefore, there is no set of kneeling rituals inherited from the feudal system.
Most of these soldiers were refugees that Yunze had taken in before, and some were refugees that Yunze had taken in when he was away. But these people knew Yunze's identity from their companions.
Therefore, they are full of admiration for this young master who gave them new life and hope. Without Yunze, how would they have lived the peaceful life they have now. Not to mention a full meal.
It is estimated that they have already starved to death. Now they not only have money and a place to live, but they also live in brick houses. This is a treatment only given to people with big houses.
As long as the people living in the fiefdom are satisfied with their current life. Even if the emperor comes, it is estimated that these people will not be fooled. If they were asked to go back and become the emperor's subjects, no one would be willing to do so.
This is the case with the people. If they can live a peaceful and contented life, they will support anyone. If someone wants to destroy this life. They will never agree.
Of course, their thinking is also related to the teaching materials given by Yunze. It is also related to a series of policies implemented by Yunze in the fiefdom.
In the fief, there are no untouchables or sold slaves. Everyone is a free person. If you want to survive, you must contribute your own energy. Earned by merit.
Although the fiefdom has only been developed for a year, the happiness index of the people in the fiefdom is definitely the highest among all the people in the entire Jing Dynasty. Within the fiefdom, there are various shops to meet everyone's daily needs.
Compared with the people in Danyang City, the life lived by the people in the fiefdom is what we call a human life. There is no need to worry about food and drink, and there is still money to spend. The prosperity of the fiefdom made the people of Danyang City yearn for it.
