Chapter 200
"No, no, no!" The people of the wealthy clans immediately waved their hands, "We agreed that there are more goods, you can't go back on your word!"
Someone shouted to Zhang Fei: "Brother, sell it quickly! I'm still waiting with money!"
"This..." Zhang Fei found that Liu Yu left at the right time, and "reluctantly" agreed: "Okay, but you can't complain to our county magistrate, I secretly sold you more."
The hot sales at the scene resumed.
Zhang Fei also took the opportunity to raise the price by 10%.
Delighted!
...
"Chengzhi." The governor Gong Jing came to the camp outside the city and found Liu Yu.
"I heard that your subordinate leader brought back hundreds of young and strong men from Donglai."
"This dynasty is very strict in managing household registration."
"Your actions will make it difficult for me to handle such news."
Gong Jing said in embarrassment.
"After all, these are not a few people, but hundreds of people."
"Not a small number."
Liu Yu smiled, put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Sir Governor, I asked my men to recruit these young men."
"Let them go to Tanghai County to learn the art of forging."
"How powerful are the weapons and armor made in our Tanghai County? Have you seen it before?"
Gong Jing nodded repeatedly.
The weapons and armor made him look forward to it.
Suddenly, his heart was warmed.
If there were such craftsmen in Qingzhou, wouldn't it be...
Liu Yu saw all the expressions on the other person's face.
He continued, "These young men are called foreign students in our Tanghai County."
"Their household registration is still in their original hometown, and they still belong to their hometown family."
"They just went to Tanghai County to study for a period of time."
"In three years, they can grow into independent forging craftsmen."
"At that time, they will return to Qingzhou and work for the Qingzhou government-run iron shop."
"This..." Gong Jing was happy in his heart, but as a veteran in the officialdom.
He knew it very well.
No one would do something without benefits.
What was the purpose of this young man in front of him training those young men to become powerful blacksmiths?
What could he gain from it?
This puzzled him.
If manpower was needed, wouldn't it be better to recruit near Youzhou?
It was a waste of time to go to Qingzhou, which was so far away, to recruit people.
He couldn't understand the other party's approach.
Liu Yu said solemnly: "It is our duty to forge sharp iron tools for the Han Dynasty!"
The emotional words echoed in the central army tent.
It shocked the ears of the governor Gong Jing.
With his pupils widened, Gong Jing carefully looked at the young man in front of him.
"Cheng Zhi's words are sonorous and powerful, and his love for the country is beyond words."
"Let this official admire you!"
He said solemnly: "In this case, Cheng Zhi might as well recruit some young people in the Qingzhou capital city."
"Go to Tanghai County for three years, and stay according to your... "
"International students." Liu Yu quickly added.
"Yes, international students." Gong Jing said: "Let them become international students."
"Learn the advanced iron forging technology in Tanghai County."
"After three years, return to the Qingzhou capital and contribute to the country!"
"Can you?"
Liu Yu frowned, hesitated slightly, and agreed "reluctantly" under Gong Jing's gaze.
"However, Governor, I have a request."
"Just say it." Gong Jing replied.
"We are recruiting people in Tanghai County. We need young and strong people from ordinary families who are willing to work hard."
"If someone wants to gild himself, we will never accept him."
"Don't worry about this, I promise you, there will be no such thing." Gong Jing patted his chest and promised.
"What kind of people to recruit and how many people to recruit are all up to you, Brother Chengzhi."
"However, the specific number must be controlled, not more than one thousand."
"Too many, it's not easy for me to do this."
"In addition, I will instruct the chief clerk to write the relevant situation into a formal document and report it to the court. Brother Chengzhi, do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes." Liu Yu nodded: "Don't worry, Governor."
"These international students are definitely a very important contribution of yours."
"These international students represent our Youzhou and your Qingzhou, and have reached a very deep cooperation in technical exchanges."
"Therefore, it will have an unimaginable impact on our Han iron smelting and forging technology."
"It is all because of the wise choice made by the Governor today that all this can be successfully achieved."
"After I return to Tanghai County, I will also write it into a document and report it to the court."
Gong Jing's eyes lit up.
The young man in front of him not only understood what he meant, but also understood it very well!No matter how well the work is done, it must be described beautifully in the documents submitted to the court.
As the saying goes, it is better to report beautifully than to do it beautifully.
This is a very important iron rule in the officialdom.
In the next few years, if the Qingzhou government-run iron shop really improves.
As a leader, his achievements are definitely indispensable!
"In this case, Brother Chengzhi will start this matter immediately."
Gong Jing stood up and said, "I will ask the officials of the Qingzhou government to fully cooperate."
"Brother, just do it."
"Thank you, Governor." Liu Yu stood up to see him off. The tacit understanding between the two was self-evident.
...
"Recruit iron forging students to learn advanced iron forging skills..."
In the city of Qingzhou, the people looked at the newly posted notice, and the literate young people read the words on it.
"The Qingzhou government retains the household registration. After three years, when you return to Qingzhou, the government will arrange for you to work in the government-run iron shop, and you will receive a considerable salary."
"Go to Tanghai County in Youzhou, and the Tanghai government will be responsible for your food rations."
"In addition, international students need to learn to read and write, and read books related to iron forging skills..."
The policies were read out by the young Confucian scholar.
Let the people understand the meaning of each item.
As soon as they finished reading, the people started to discuss it.
These years, the harvest of crops was poor and the yield was not good.
Every household lived an extremely hard life.
Now there is a place that can not only provide food rations, but also learn skills.
What makes the people feel even more incredible is that they can also teach people to read and write.
This gives them new hope in life.
Many people are eager to try and want to give it a try.
The government has not launched such a thing for a hundred years!
"For the specific situation, go to the Tanghai temporary camp outside the city to inquire!"
The clerk who posted the notice shouted.
The onlookers ran away quickly, wanting to go out of the city to find out.
The news spread rapidly in the Qingzhou capital city as if it had wings.
The wealthy clans didn't care.
The ordinary people were excited.
No matter how you look at it, this is not a loss.
The three-year rations are provided by the Tanghai County government, which is a good thing that fell from the sky.
The people in the city swarmed towards the Tanghai camp outside the city, surging like a tide!
