"Come here, have Cai Xin's places been settled?"
These ordnance are just a drop in the bucket. The Cai family specially sent him 30 children this time. Each of these people is proficient in mechanical skills. For Liu Deng, these talents are the talents he is most in need of now.
"Replying to the king, a mansion has been arranged for them, but these people have not made any achievements. If you treat them so favorably, I am afraid some people in the court will be dissatisfied..."
Du Ziteng said worriedly.
"Have you heard anything recently?"
Liu Deng asked casually while drinking iced sour plum soup.
"Your Majesty, I did hear some bad news..."
Du Ziteng said with some embarrassment.
"Tell me, what do they say about me?"
Putting down the soup bowl in his hand, Liu Deng asked disapprovingly.
"Some people say that the king's rewards and punishments are unclear, while others say that the king has recently favored those slaves and has lost the dignity of a scholar-official..."
When Du Ziteng said this, his tone obviously paused.
"That's all? Don't worry about them. Let them say whatever they want. Go get Ye Yijian for me!"
Although he seemed calm on the surface, this also sounded a wake-up call to Liu Deng.
He still took it too much for granted. He had been looking at the whole thing from a modern perspective, but now the disadvantages came out.
"promise!"
Liu Deng was not worried about them making irresponsible remarks, but Liu Deng was worried about what little tricks they were making.
Those talkative guys all succeeded more than failed, and Liu Deng was really worried about what kind of obstacles they would cause for him.
Things like guarding against potential dangers must be started as soon as possible. Since Ye Yijian has this talent, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to create a Han Dynasty version of the Jin Yiwei.
"Ye Yijian meets the king!"
The king finally thought of himself, and Ye Yijian felt nervous and a little excited.
"Give him a bowl of sour plum soup, and then you go out for a while and tell the guards outside that no one is allowed to approach within a hundred steps!"
After returning to the palace, Zhao Wengu became the female official serving Liu Deng.
"promise!"
She is very careful in doing things, and she really enjoys serving Liu Deng.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
It seemed that the king was about to entrust him with an important task, and Ye Yijian's face suddenly turned red with excitement.
"You did a good job last time. I want you to continue to do it. Let's start from Jinyang City. I want to know about the troubles in Jinyang City. No matter in any aspect, can you do it? "
Liu Deng looked at Ye Yijian seriously. This was Liu Deng's test for him. Jinyang City was neither too big nor too small. It was not that simple to accomplish this.
"Of course I can't do it alone, but if the king can allocate a group of capable people to me, I guarantee that I will be able to complete the king's request within half a year!"
Ye Yijian hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly.
This is his opportunity. If he fails to seize it, I'm afraid he will regret it for the rest of his life!
"Of course, you can allocate the manpower yourself. Just leave a roster here with me. I don't care how much money is needed, but there is one thing. You need to ensure that every copper is spent on Find out where it should be spent, and I will see your results in half a year. If you can accomplish this, the next step can be extended to the entire Dai Kingdom!"
No matter what, this guy has the courage to give it a try, and Liu Deng is already very satisfied.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. If I can't handle this matter in half a year, I would like to come and see you!"
Ye Yijian has grown up in Jinyang City since he was a child. He knows every street in this city clearly.
What Liu Deng asked him to do was to inquire about information. He was very good at this kind of thing. Cats have their own ways and mice have their own ways. Having grown up at the bottom, he was certainly familiar with those urban foxes and rats.
"Very good. From today on, you will be directly responsible to me. No one has the right to interfere with your work. However, those under you must also be careful not to violate the laws of the court unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I will be in trouble." Even the king can’t save them, remember this clearly!”
This is Liu Deng's bottom line. If this kind of organization hidden in the dark starts to trample on the rules from the beginning, Liu Deng is really worried that they will be too late.
"promise!"
Ye Yijian's face was full of excitement. This was a great opportunity for him to show off his talents. Thinking about what Liu Deng said just now, if he could really accomplish this, then he would be considered a truly powerful party. !
"Okay, from now on, except for reporting the results to me once every three days, you can move around freely at other times. It doesn't matter what you do. I want your results after half a year!"
"promise!"
Ye Yijian left. After drinking the last sip of sour plum soup, Liu Deng stretched. Cai Xin and the others had actually been settled. It was time to take them to the general prison to identify them.
In the past few days since he came back, Liu Deng has drawn a lot of drawings. Of course, these things only exist in his ideas. How to turn them into reality still requires Cai Xin and the others to study.
"See you, Your Majesty!"
After arriving in Daiguo, Cai Xin's life suddenly became much more comfortable.
The children of the Cai family who came with him now only follow his lead, and no one is telling him what to do anymore. The secret book given to him by Cai Boxiu gave him a lot more understanding of the art of mechanism.
But at this time, what he wanted to complete most was of course his carriage. The steering gear Liu Deng drew. Although it was just an idea now, after his careful deduction, it was still very likely to become a reality.
"Today I will take you to a place that will be your main place of work in the future. By the way, I will give you this thing. This will be your main work direction in the future!"
At this time, what Dai Guo needs most is of course arrows.
This thing sounds simple to say, but if it were completely made by hand, it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. More importantly, the generals and supervisors of Dai State have been neglected for too long. How can there be so many manpower...
Therefore, Liu Deng relied on his memory and understanding to draw this simple drawing of a human-powered lathe.
Because only simple wood is processed, and the accuracy requirements are not that high, in the short term, the manpower can still meet the requirements.
"Your Majesty, did you draw this thing?"
After unfolding it, Cai Xin's eyes suddenly brightened. This was completely different from the things he had learned. Although this thing seemed a bit crude now, it did open up another world for him.
"I haven't drawn for a long time, so my hand is a bit wet, so you can just try and look at it!"
Liu Deng smiled mysteriously. Although this thing looks simple, when used to make arrow shafts, it is much faster than manpower.
