Chapter 148 Imperial Merchants (Part 1)

There are no hot springs in Shu, but Wang Hongyi is taking a bath.

A bucket of hot water, with the water vapor of the flower essence, poured into the bathhouse. There were sake and roasted beef tripe strips, sheep spine strips, and pork strips in the floating wooden basin, which could really relieve fatigue.

Coal is used to boil water. On Earth, coal was widely used as fuel during the Northern Song Dynasty in China. In this world, coal is also used, but it has not specially formed minerals.

This is related to transportation. Without trains, there is no power to transport the whole country.

However, that "Yishan Coal Mine" was a shallow coal seam open-pit coal mine, which really touched Wang Hongyi.

After thinking about it, he got up and came out, and Wang Hongyi ordered: "Go to the Sewen Pavilion."

When I left, I realized that it was getting heavy.

The snow kept falling, and a layer was already laid in front of the hall at this moment.

In the clearness, Wang Hongyi got off, stood at the entrance of the hall and settled down, and then went in. When he got inside, he saw everyone saluting. At this time, Wang Hongyi waved his hand simply, ignored him, and sat against the glass window, drew documents, and looked at the heavy snow outside as if he was thinking.

A moment later, Yu Liangbo came in: "One hundred and seventy-one people are already waiting outside, right?"

"Go to the main hall!" Wang Hongyi stood up and said.

Not far from the main hall, Wang Hongyi went there and saw that the hall had been cleaned up long ago.

One hundred and seventy-one tables were lined up neatly at both ends of the hall. He nodded and said with praise: "It's a good job, let them come in!"

"yes!"

Suddenly, the music started to sound, and Wang Hongyi sat on the central seat. After a while, 171 talents recommended by each county and county entered the hall, kneeling in front of the hall, shouting: "Greetings to the Duke!"

Wang Hongyi nodded with a smile and nodded to Yu Liangbo. Yu Liangbo held up the yellow book and said loudly: "Everyone takes the seat according to the ranking!"

In the upper left corner of each table, there are notes of name and origin. These people can tell at a glance that they salute first and then sit in one after another.

According to the rules, the candidates were prepared with a futon, but Wang Hongyi was spared and ordered a small stool to prepare, which made Yu Liangbo feel a little "too preferential"!

A few clean whip sounded, and the music stopped.

Under the orders of officials of the Lishu Department, all of them were in their positions.

Yu Liangbo read: "Seeking talents and listening to them, choosing good things and making them, the way of governance can be described in two hours!"

This is a question, and what I ask is actually how Shu is governing now. This tests vision, knowledge, and learning. Of course, writing style is also very important.

Everyone did not dare to neglect and quickly thought about it one by one. Some people began to write on the draft paper.

After a moment of silence, Wang Hongyi got off his seat and walked slowly in the hall, only Yu Liangbo followed behind him.

He had given instructions in advance that there was no need to polite during the exam, and everyone knew that Wang Hongyi was able to walk behind a person, his eyes flashed over the papers, and he was quietly paced.

Yu Liangbo thought that the lord was watching the exam situation, but in fact, Wang Hongyi was watching his destiny.

It can be recommended among millions of people, but in fact, the luck is good. Except for some of the destiny, most of them are light red or above.

Wang Hongyi stopped, and a young man who was writing hard in front of him. Wang Hongyi glanced at him, first noticed his golden destiny, and then paid attention to his hometown and name - Lu Jiao.

Wang Hongyi only stayed for a moment and started again.

After walking a few more steps, another golden aura appeared - Jiang Mingxin.

After turning around, Cui Ziya and Zhong Liang fell into his eyes.

After a moment, Wang Hongyi focused his eyes on one person. This person was also young, about twenty-five years old. Looking at this person, Wang Hongyi's eyes narrowed - light green!

Among the talents who paid tribute this time, there was actually a talented person with the destiny of the prime minister of Keqing!

When I looked at it, I saw my life. It was Tan Yue.

This man's eyes focused on paper and pen, and his temperament was solid. Wang Hongyi didn't want to disturb his writing. He just took a look and left without much time than before.

This exam took two hours, so Wang Hongyi naturally would not wait. The papers were released, and the Lisi and Yu Liangbo jointly reviewed the papers and divided them into three levels according to the instructions.

First-class ten, second-class thirty, third-class rest.

Although it is not a palace examination in name, in fact, this order will be based on the reward in the future.

Wang Hongyi went back and met again.

The patriarchs of several large clans, led by Song Han, all bowed to him when they came in.

"Everyone gets up. This time I'm here to discuss matters." Wang Hongyi said directly: "You all know the matter, do you have any ideas?"

Shu has abundant mineral deposits. Even in this era, there are already a considerable scale of mining areas, including coal, iron, lead, and copper. The most important thing is that Shu also has quite mature and convenient river transportation.

Of course, the mining areas in these areas are shallow, easy to mine, and have low technical content, so they can be easily used, and are also the hardest hit areas for accidents.

However, accidents have no room for consideration for this era, especially at this time.

And for the modern earth, these ores are nothing, but in ancient times, the amount of minerals on this surface was more than enough to satisfy half of the world.

At this time, everyone kowtowed together: "The villain is grateful to the government, and it is also a great benefit. How dare you not obey your order?"

"Well, since that's the case, each of you has a ten-year mineral concession. Those who work should not worry, they will have their own slaves." Wang Hongyi said.

Ding Huchen and the Eight Banners plan went smoothly. Now there are five banners. How can these five banners recognize Wang Hongyi's trick?

All the families moved from thatched houses and stone houses on the mountain to the city, and gave them a large amount of money and rice. It is said that there was not much time. These black and thin mountain people ate exquisite fish, slept with wide beds, lived in large houses, and wore exquisite wide robes, as if they were in a dream.

Stimulated by this, the five banners fought desperately to kill their compatriots in exchange for a large amount of rewards and fields. The speed of encirclement and suppression made Wang Hongyi stunned, and he discovered the power of the White Eight Banners.

Since the Eight Banners are so useful, and considering the purpose of slave labor, Wang Hongyi slightly changed his policy and no longer required that all men above the wheel be killed, but rewarded them with the number of people.

Tens of thousands of mountain prisoners were already sent to the refugee camp, which was said to be the refugee camp, but in fact it was the slave camp.

In addition, some wounded warriors were sent to be leaders among the Five Banners. These Five Banners were familiar with the mountain tribes, had strong control, and were also underestimated. Everyone was happy and waved their whips to urge slaves to work.

Ore development itself is a chore. Now the people in Shu don’t even have enough land to reclaim, so no one goes to work. Now this group of people has immediately filled the gap and multiple projects can be developed.

It doesn’t matter if there are too many people. Slaves can be sent to build roads, bridges and water conservancy, but in order to stimulate slaves to work better, there are still rewards.

If you work hard, you can become a team leader. Those who study Chinese hard can also be pardoned in advance. In five years, slaves who know Chinese will become slaves to more relaxed projects, such as textiles, and allow a house and family.

Descendants have the possibility of becoming civilians.

As for those who resist to the end, it is very simple. Just work in the coal mine until you die!

"You should also do your best to do your best to receive this reward. These workshop products will be traded all over the world. You should carefully contact the appropriate person and conduct trade in order to meet the situation."

Huge industries and wealth can naturally influence others. On earth, the Qing Dynasty took advantage of the profits of trade and developed a commercial network represented by the top ten royal merchants during the war.

These commercial networks not only smuggled weapons and food, but also developed a large number of downlines and weaved a huge network of relationships.

Although it is just a cooperative relationship that shares interests, no one will be unable to get along with money, and most of the time, there is no need to risk his life to rebel, just appropriately leak some news.

This word is collected and you can report every move to the Qing Dynasty.

When the troops arrived at the city, these people had the courage to become internal contacts.

Wang Hongyi is quite clear about this situation. Wang Hongyi’s principle is to “learn from the barbarians’ skills to control the barbarians.”

I remember someone scolded in my previous life: "The Japanese do this, and you do this too. What is the difference between you and the Japanese?"

Wang Hongyi once asked extremely meanly: "You eat shit when the Japanese eat? You run naked when the Japanese wear clothes? You can talk, you act as mute? You are a human being, you are a human being? You are a human being? You want China to cut off itself from Southeast Asia? If you can't even tell the truth about my heroes and enemy enemies, my heroes and enemy enemies, there is no need to say it."

This is too far, Wang Hongyi ordered, and these people responded: "No!"

Then we talked in detail. After an hour, we almost retreated. At this time, the original and list of test papers were presented to Wang Hongyi by Yu Liangbo.

Wang Hongyi directly found the articles of Lu Jiao, Jiang Mingxin, Cui Ziya, Zhong Liang and Tan Yue. After taking them, he found that most of them were in the second issue. After reading them carefully, the text and content were considered qualified, so he directly clicked them with a pen and mentioned them to the top ten.

The other arrangements were not changed, and he said instructed: "No matter the ranking, all the officials are appointed. The top ten are entered into the Secret House and the writing work. The others are walking in the various departments first and studying political affairs. They will be sent to the county for three months and after three months!"

Wang Hongyi said, his eyebrows spread out, and his deep eyes were faintly lit.

Yu Liangbo looked at Wang Hongyi carefully, his heart trembled, and responded: "Yes!"

Wang Hongyi walked leisurely, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "That's it!"

As he said that, Yu Liangbo bowed again and withdrew.

When Wang Hongyi stood up to look, the snow became heavier and snowflakes were everywhere. Walking in the corridor. Outside the Hanyu Bridge railing were various buildings. In the distance were towering halls. There were sword-holding guards standing around them, all of them became snowmen, and they stood in the snow without moving.

Wang Hongyi walked slowly, very satisfied, and did not speak for a while.
