In addition to ordering steel molds, Zhao Feng also ordered a lot of steel frames. Only frames made of steel can support the heavy glass and create a vegetable greenhouse.
After making these preparations, Zhao Feng returned to Zhou Tong's manor with satisfaction.
Zhou Tong is eating at this time. After all, Zhao Feng has been away for a long time. Who knows when Zhao Feng will come back?
"Mr. Zhao, you are finally back, and you said you wanted to cook for me, but now let's make do with some food!"
Zhao Feng nodded awkwardly. Didn't he suddenly think of the vegetable greenhouse, so he went to prepare it in advance?
"Don't worry, Your Highness, when those fresh vegetables come out, I will teach you a very delicious thing. I'm sure you will want to eat it again after eating it!"
Zhou Tong then smiled and nodded.
During this period of time, many people have moved to Zhou Tong's fiefdom. In order to provide jobs and housing for these people, Zhao Feng and the others have become large consumers of steel. The steel produced by those militiamen has a large amount. Some of them were given priority.
In addition to being used to make various things, these steels are also made into steel bars for the construction of buildings.
Using steel bars and cement, Zhao Feng can easily create a four- or five-story building. If some additional design is done, it is even possible to create a building with more than ten stories. However, since there are no elevators in this era, it is difficult to create such a high building. It is difficult to go up and down the stairs every day in a high-rise building.
Moreover, the biggest problem of buildings is that they cannot guarantee domestic water supply. Even if a water tower can be made, it cannot guarantee water supply for such a high floor. Therefore, most of the buildings built now are around five floors.
The entire fiefdom has been completely renewed a long time ago. The streets are paved with smooth and solid cement pavements, and there are also houses built with cement on both sides of the road.
Zhou Tong's manor used to be in a relatively closed valley. Although the scenery here is very good, it is not popular, and you will get tired of seeing the scenery too much, so Zhao Feng directly built a small town here, and now it has developed Woke up.
Zhou Tong was very happy when he saw how beautifully Zhao Feng had built his fiefdom, and he felt more and more that Zhao Feng's talents were extraordinary.
In order to attract those people to move here, Zhao Feng made many policy changes. Most of these policies were part of the previous New Deal.
People from the four major families are opposing Zhao Feng's new policies, so much so that Zhao Feng's policies have long been announced to be cancelled, but they are full of extraordinary vitality here.
What happened here has already spread to the court. People from the four major families couldn't help but look at each other in shock after hearing the news here.
At this time, during the morning meeting, Zhou Zhen looked at this year's taxes and snorted coldly.
"Have you seen the new policies that you opposed other people's construction before? Just a fiefdom of Her Royal Highness has brought so much tax revenue, even more than half of the tax revenue of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"This is the result of your opposition!"
Seeing Zhou Zhen being so angry, the officials of the four major families suddenly fell silent.
How did they know that after finally squeezing out Zhao Feng's new policies, Zhao Feng turned around and went to Zhou Tong's fiefdom, and single-handedly developed Zhou Tong's fiefdom to be more prosperous than the capital city?
Even in that small city, the permanent population has long exceeded that of the capital city. They don't know what kind of magic power there is, and why it attracts those people to live there?
Feng Shen couldn't help but feel his heart thump when he heard Zhou Zhen's words.
He had long known that Zhao Feng was very talented, and those policies were not incapable of benefiting the country and the people, but would only harm the interests of some of the four major families and other nobles, so he was excluded.
But now Zhao Feng has let the world see the benefits, and even many people before were condemning these officials.
You know, because Zhou Tong's fiefdom was very attractive, many people wanted to move there, but the local officials tried their best to stop it.
This also makes these people very resentful. You know, they could enjoy the same life before, but it was all because the local officials did not agree, so they were not as rich as these people!
Seeing the looks of the officials from the four major families below, Feng Shen knew that Zhao Feng could not continue to develop like this.
The better Zhao Feng built Zhou Tong's fiefdom, the more it showed how confused they were in what they did in the first place.
So Feng Shen thought for a moment and said directly, retreating instead of advancing.
"Your Majesty, no one else had tried those policies back then, so it was normal for officials from various places to object. Now they should have seen the benefits. How about we invite Zhao Feng back to continue presiding over the reforms of the new policies?"
When Zhou Zhen heard this, he smiled coldly.
"Okay, then go and invite him back!"
"If these policies can be successfully implemented before, the national treasury will not be as empty as usual this year!"
Zhou Zhen said this and left the court very angry.
Seeing Zhou Zhen's back, the officials from the four major families couldn't help but get together to discuss.
"Prime Minister Feng, are we really going to invite Zhao Feng back?"
"Yes, we all pushed Feng Zaifang away at the beginning. If we invite him back this time, we will be very embarrassed!"
Hearing their words, Feng Shen laughed, his face full of wrinkles.
I saw him saying with very deep eyes.
"Think about it carefully, is it better for such a person to develop freely and wildly outside, or to stay here with us and be squeezed out by us every day?"
"Inviting him back is not necessarily to implement those new policies, it is just to no longer give him the space to display his talents!"
Feng Shen said this and looked directly at the people from the other three families.
"So after letting him come back this time, we will live in harmony with him on the surface, but secretly we will continue to make things difficult for him."
"Do you understand now?"
When the people from the four major families heard what Prime Minister Feng Shen said, they immediately raised their thumbs.
"As expected of the prime minister, we understand!"
Feng Shen nodded slightly and said seriously.
"Compared with Zhao Feng's matter, we have to pay more attention to another matter. This is the major matter that affects our four major families!"
"You probably don't know, but a few days ago, the imperial doctor suddenly entered the palace at night. Although the news was strictly blocked, I also heard some rumors."
Hearing this, the ministers immediately understood something.
