Xin Zhicai nodded and said: "Zhaojiazhuang now has the support of Yuan Xuezheng, and a security group has just been established. I am also supporting the government. Even if there is a surprise, there is no danger. There are two gift lists here, just one for each of you and me." share."
Xin Dong opened the gift list and was surprised. The gift list included fairy stove, fairy charcoal, fairy soap, flower fairy gouache, flower fairy soap, and rice.
What's more, there is also a VIP pickup card worth ten taels of silver, which allows you to pick up goods at the Zhaojiazhuang store at any time.
This is at least equivalent to half a year's salary.
Xin Dong saluted Xin Zhicai respectfully, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "The housekeeper of Zhaojiazhuang is a wonderful person."
At this time, an official letter came from the Academic Affairs Department of Tongchuan Prefecture, and they negotiated with Changyuan County about the number of Jinshi places that would be granted to them this year.
The proposal to promote the academic affairs department in the government was to choose between Wang Wenfu and Wang Wenxiu from Wangjiazhuang.
When Xin Zhicai saw it, he couldn't help but frown.
He also vaguely knew that Wangjiazhuang seemed to be targeting Zhaojiazhuang everywhere.
This is not a good thing for Zhao Ping.
However, the control of the Yamen is still in Liu Ang's hands.
However, what made Xin Zhicai even more distressed was that the Chang Ping Division of Fulu's promotion received a report.
The content of the report was of course the misappropriation of water conservancy funds in Changyuan County.
Xin Zhicai was even more frightened if the Academic Affairs Department was related to Zhao Ping.
Chang Pingsi was targeting him personally.
He and Xin Dong discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't find an effective way.
Who is this whistleblower?
Last time, the county had no salary for three months and had to borrow water conservancy funds.
Although Liu Ang agreed to borrow it last time, he was very reluctant.
Could it be that he was the one who snitched?
Unlike Zhao Jie, Zhao Ping has always been confident about Zhao Jie's trip to the county!
However, Zhao Ping knew nothing about Wang Wenfu's actions.
He asked Zhao Yun to recruit two hundred more nurses first, and then sent Zhao Tian to Tianshiguo in Chongqing and other places to buy Dali horses, saltpeter, sulfur, iron ore, tin ore, and lead ore to prepare for making knives and explosives.
In order to build a strong security group, Zhao Ping took the route of elite soldiers. The recruitment notice stated in large characters that formal members would receive five copper coins per month, peripheral members would also receive four copper coins, and nursing and logistics auxiliary soldiers would receive three coins. Accommodation and clothing are calculated separately.
If you are an officer above the rank of corps commander, your salary will gradually increase compared to that of ordinary soldiers.
It was only one day of recruitment, and due to the generous salary, more than 400 people came to sign up.
Zhao Yun was happy to see so many people signing up, but at the same time he didn't know how to filter them?
Zhao Ping waved his right hand and said: "Run around Cao Chang, at least twenty laps. Run as many times as possible. Those who run faster will be selected first."
One lap is already one mile, and twenty laps is twenty miles.
Zhao Ping has leveled a piece of land with an area of about ten acres near Zhaojiazhuang as a barracks, and there is also an ancient version of the Cao farm, but the running circle is replaced by lime.
Zhao Yun struck the gong and then gave an order, including Zhao Ping, Wang Gou'er, Zhao Yun, Lan'er, Zhao Yiniang, Zhao Yilang, etc., also participated in the running race.
What surprised these adults was that Lan'er, Zhao Erniang, Zhao Yilang and others ran away from fifteen to thirty miles respectively!
Zhao Ping himself, twelve-year-old Wang Gouer, Cuizhu, and thirteen-year-old Zhao Yilang ran down fifty laps, which is fifty miles!
The two deputy captains of the nursing home and the team captains Li Hanqian, Li Hantong, Li Hanxi, and Li Hanyin also ran between 40 and 50 miles!
The two captains were even more powerful. Li Hantie and Li Hangang ran a good result of 70 miles!
Zhao Yun ran a best result of eighty-five miles!
After Zhao Yun finished running, he panted and came to Zhao Ping with the two captains and deputy captains, and said thank you excitedly.
It turns out that Zhao Yun and the two captains and deputy captains are Zhao Ping's unnamed disciples Li Hantie and Li Hangang!
Zhao Ping saw that he liked martial arts and that the two captains had good qualifications, so he privately passed on his internal skills to him and the two captains and deputy captains.
The two captains and deputy captains are Zhao Yun's children, and they are about the same age as Zhao Yun. One is called Li Hangang, the other is Li Hantie, one is the elder brother, and the other is the younger brother. Their family conditions are somewhat similar to Wang Gouer's, and the two brothers have an amazing appetite. I almost ruined my family.
Fortunately, Zhaojiazhuang was going to a nursing home, and the two brothers had nothing but strength. With their extraordinary strength, they were able to lift a stone lock of 120 kilograms alone and drive a stone mill with one hand. Soon they were able to With Zhao Ping's consent, he taught Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Chuan, and finally stood out among the guards and became the captain and deputy captain of the guards.
Among the people who came to apply, there were more than 40 people who did not run more than 20 laps and were eliminated.
Meanwhile, there were eight good fifty-lap results.
Zhao Ping was happy and asked about it. It turned out that they were the Yang family, the Li family, the Cao family, the Zhong family, the Zhe family, the Guo family, the Zong family, and the Pan family. These were descendants of Yang Zhen, Li Qian, and Cao Ke who were once a family of military generals. , Zhonghua, Zhejun, Zonghou, Pan Jiang.
Some of them came to Zhaojiazhuang as refugees from poor families; some came to see the legendary Begonia fragrant country Changzhou in the mouths of literati; some came to Zhaojiazhuang because they liked the fairy soap, fairy charcoal, fairy furnace and other fairy-character series products that were sold well in the Song Dynasty , Hu people, Dali, Aiwu and Wu
Out of curiosity, come to Changyuan County for a wander.
When they later heard about this miracle in the world, Zhaojiazhuang was attacked by bandits and recruited a security team, they were furious and signed up one after another.
They may have superb martial arts skills, or may have extraordinary strength, or may have strong family background, or may be familiar with the art of war.
A good foundation!
"Yes, thank you for your hard work!" My mother's gentle and calm voice came from a distance.
At this time, the maid Qiu Shuang pushed the dutiful mother's car over, and Jiang Jie was served as a servant. After all, it was really inconvenient for a female servant to serve a grown man.
To her mother's surprise, the housekeeper Zhao Jie actually got a thousand security corps quotas from the county magistrate. He was very happy and went out to watch the recruitment competition wearing a curtain hat.
Now my mother likes to see the rapid changes in Zhaojiazhuang more and more.
However, the ankle injury seriously affected my mother's beautiful wishes.
When Zhao Ping saw that his mother was really inconvenient to move due to her ankles, he suddenly remembered the carts used by disabled people in her previous life. He had an idea and drew a picture of a manual cart, and asked the graduates and workshops to try to see if it could be made. come out.
As a result, although the overall problem of the car was not serious, the axle and wheel steering were always unsatisfactory, and graduates complained that the metal type was not fast.
Zhao Ping thought that they could not do deep processing because they lacked lathes. In fact, primitive lathes appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, but this craft, which was passed down from father to son and lacked a diagram, was later lost.
Zhao Ping then drew a foot-operated wooden lathe with gears instead of belts, and named the lathe Luban Lathe.
With the joint efforts of the graduates and the graduate of the public transportation class, the wooden lathe was actually made on the third day.
The graduates and Gongshu Gan were so excited that they knelt on the ground together and thanked the Emperor and Queen Tu endlessly. They also thanked Zhao Ping for finding this millennium-old lathe manufacturing method from the fairy book.
But where should we put these absolute secrets about the fate of Zhaojiazhuang?
In order to ensure that the secret would not be leaked, Zhao Ping had people secretly dig out several caves in the mountain behind Zhaojiazhuang.
And this cave can also be ventilated!
With this Luban lathe, the speed of metal movable type engraving was indeed greatly improved, and the filial mother car that Zhao Ping used to honor his mother was also successfully produced. After using it, his mother was amazed at how convenient it was to get in and out.
What surprises the woodworkers even more is that with the lathe, the carving of fairy soap wooden boxes is not only faster, but also more exquisite.
If people outside the wooden box could imitate it at will in the past, it is now difficult to imitate it!
Even if those skilled carpenters can imitate, the cost will be much higher than the cost in Zhaojiazhuang.
Under Zhao Ping's repeated instructions, the Luban lathe came as an absolute secret, and at the same time, forty Luban lathes were produced one after another.
It is in the caves with the size of several workshops that important secrets of Zhaojiazhuang such as the use of Luban lathes, the front-end production of fairy soap, and the cultivation of yeast are stored here.
As soon as the filial mother car, full of traditional virtues and filial piety to the elderly, was launched on the market, it immediately became another profitable product in Zhaojiazhuang that was in short supply after the Flower Fairy series.
Businessmen are smart.
In order to obtain better benefits, some businesses left the county and took the initiative to set up offices in Zhaojiazhuang to obtain products in short supply in Zhaojiazhuang in advance.
Inns in Zhaojiazhuang have been rising up between Zhaojiazhuang and the dock, turning the main road between Zhaojiazhuang and the dock into a lively and prosperous street.
But Zhaojiazhuang has its own rules.
Since the news that Zhaojiazhuang is going to renovate dilapidated houses has spread, Zhaojiazhuang is no longer allowed to build "private houses" casually. They are called "illegal buildings". If they are built casually, they will be punished by the nursing home or even demolished.
Some merchants were dissatisfied, saying that there was no one to manage their construction in Changzhou, the county seat. How could they be managed when they arrived in Zhaojiazhuang?
Merchants joined forces to find the steward.
The housekeeper Zhao Jie gave four reasons. One is that this is Zhaojiazhuang, not a county town or Changzhou. When arriving in Zhaojiazhuang, one must abide by the rules of Zhaojiazhuang;
Secondly, it is neither safe nor beautiful to set up casually;
Thirdly, Zhaojiazhuang has a unified plan for buildings, and construction can only be done after approval according to the plan;
Fourth, to build in Zhaojiazhuang, you need to purchase land use rights. Only with the land use rights can you start construction. Future buildings can obtain the real estate certificate issued by Zhaojiazhuang and be protected by the nursing home.
Land use rights merchants are easy to understand, but the first three points make some merchants intolerable. Some merchants feel that Zhaojiazhuang has too many rules and are unbearable, and finally flatly refused.
Some other businesses felt that this was a great opportunity and agreed resolutely, so they purchased the land use rights and then constructed according to the Zhaojiazhuang plan!
Sure enough, there are small buildings with one floor and one floor on both sides of this avenue. The small buildings are surrounded by yellow oak trees, gardenias, yellow oak orchid trees and green bamboos. They look neat and beautiful, and the coordination is full of poetry and painting!
Outsiders who come here can't help but sigh that Zhaojiazhuang is really a paradise on earth, with beautiful environment and unique scenery. Not only does everyone have work to do, but they also have no worries about food and clothing.
Those merchants who refused regretted it so much that they took the initiative to increase the price to buy the remaining land, causing the price of land in Zhaojiazhuang to change day by day.
These made the people, tribesmen and patriarchs of Wangjiazhuang and Lijiazhuang very angry!
Zhaojiazhuang used to be poorer and more backward than them, and Zhaojiazhuang relied on the protection of Lijiacun to survive. Now they have long left their former masters far behind!
What makes the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang extremely happy is that when they were seen in Wangjiazhuang and Lijiacun, they were all very aggressive, holding their heads high and showing their superiority in front of them!
Now I feel inferior in front of them, begging my father to sue my grandma and demanding that my family be allowed to go when recruiting workers.
