Iron Dynasty

The mountain wind bursts, with a hint of roaring sound.

At this time, Xiao Ming said: Everyone, this king came to the Department of Equipment today, one is for the artillery thing, and the other is to reward the outstanding craftsmen among you. The principle that Wang has always adhered to, this king also promised you when you entered the various workshops in Qingzhou, and now this king will fulfill this promise.

As soon as Xiao Ming's voice fell, many craftsmen showed excitement.

Before Chen Qi had recorded their achievements, they had been waiting for this day.

Then Xiao Ming said: The name I read now will remove the slave status, obtain the Qingzhou household registration, and have all the rights of the Qingzhou people from now on.

Song Changping, Deng Huaiyuan, Yin Xingjian, Chen Wei...

Names came out of Xiao Ming's mouth, and the craftsman whose name was named trembled with excitement.

At this moment, Chen Qi looked at the young craftsman standing at the front. The craftsman was only in his twenties, and he was already in tears by this time.

He originally thought that his destiny would be to have sons as slaves, daughters as prostitutes, and untouchables from generation to generation, analogous to livestock.

But now this moment, everything has changed.

He also once suspected that King Qi was just talking casually and would not really give them freedom.

Many slaves have this idea, so they are in a hurry, one day is one day, and one day is a monk banging the clock.

But the difference is that he remembers his father's words, no matter what the situation is, he must be an honest man and work conscientiously.

Therefore, he has been working hard, and it is precisely because of his hard work that Chen Qi brought him from the equipment department to the military workshop, and also made him the captain.

The improvement of the situation not only did not satisfy him, but he worked harder. After three months of research, he finally found a continuous casting method to improve the efficiency of artillery casting.

For this reason, Chen Qi greatly praised him in the workshop and promised to take credit for him, but in fact, he did it.

Glancing at Chen Qi, Song Changping's tearful face burst into a smile.

...Ge Ming. After reading the names of the thirty craftsmen, Xiao Ming said: These thirty slave craftsmen are no longer slaves from today, and the household registration military workshop will handle it for you, and Song Changping has made outstanding contributions, not only I will get Qingzhou household registration, your family will also get Qingzhou household registration, this king will buy a real estate for you in Qingzhou City, and your family can be reunited in the future, are you satisfied?

Satisfied! Song Changping shouted, and knelt down slowly with his hands clasped in his fists. He repeatedly kowtowed and cried, Thank you, Your Highness, thank you!

Xiao Ming stepped forward and helped Song Changping up. He said to the craftsmen, This king knows that many of you don't believe me, so now you should believe me. As long as you work hard, everything is possible in Qingzhou. Not only will you be able to gain freedom, your children will be able to go to school in Qingzhou, and even become officials in the future.

Xiao Ming's voice was loud and deafening. Many craftsmen bowed their heads in shame. They were fed up with being deceived by the wealthy officials and no longer believed in anyone, but now they found that they were wrong.

Now they regret it very much. Remembering when they laughed at Song Changping before, they could not wait to find a hole to crawl in. Now that Song Changping is free, they are still slaves.

But at the same time, they also secretly made up their minds that they must work hard to get rid of their slave status.

Looking at the varied expressions of the slave craftsmen, Xiao Ming thought to himself that his goal had been achieved, and that he would create a social atmosphere in which hard labor and happiness would come later.

Because now he must be a slave, and the people of the fief must also work hard. Victory in one or two wars is not enough to prove that Qingzhou will be stable from now on.

Trembling, walking on thin ice, this is what everyone should remember.

After rewarding the slave craftsmen, Xiao Ming also rewarded the craftsmen with Qingzhou household registration. This time the reward is to encourage them. After all, silver is the biggest demand for them.

After the military workshop discussed merit and reward, Xiao Ming returned to Qingzhou. With the momentum of the military workshop, he asked Qingzhou to also launch reward measures in various workshops.

At the same time, the newspaper also cooperated to publicize this matter. With so much trouble, he has only one purpose, and that is to increase the enthusiasm of the craftsmen.

After all, there is a big difference between positive and negative. A negative craftsman turns into a positive state, which can at least triple his work efficiency.

Before the end of the year, when the Qingzhou workshop was very lively because of the rewards and punishments, a hundred export-type artillery pieces of Qingzhou also arrived in Chang'an.

In the study, Xiao Wenxuan is correcting the memorial.

At this time, Feng Deshui suddenly ran all the way and rushed in. Because he ran too fast, Feng Deshui suddenly became unstable and threw himself at Xiao Wenxuan's feet.

Xiao Wenxuan said with a smile: Deshui, it's not even New Year's Eve, why did you give me a five-body throw to the ground.

Feng Deshui got up, bared his teeth in pain, but still laughed: Your Majesty, this old servant didn't do this big gift today, but ran too fast and fell down, Your Majesty, this King Qi's artillery has arrived at the firearms battalion.

The artillery has arrived, are you serious? Xiao Wenxuan stood up abruptly, grabbed Feng Deshui and shook it vigorously, looking excited.

Your Majesty, this old slave's bones are about to fall apart. Feng Deshui smiled bitterly, This old slave has never lied to Your Majesty.

It's really here! Xiao Wenxuan laughed when he heard the words. At this time, he put down the brush in his hand and walked out, saying: Come and take a look!

Feng Deshui hurriedly chased out, Your Majesty, please slow down, put on your mink fur, and don't be frozen.

Where is Xiao Wenxuan willing to stop, at this moment, he seems to be back in his twenties, with strong and fast steps.

For him, it was not just a hundred guns, it was a moment of royal reassurance.

To this end, he asked Feng Deshui to notify all the dignitaries in Chang'an to go to the firearms camp, and he wanted everyone to see that the forbidden army had artillery.

Get some officials to bring the news to the masters behind them.

The firearms battalion, at this time, a hundred artillery pieces from Qingzhou were lined up in the main camp, and the artillery pieces were covered with gray canvas.

Outside the battalion, the soldiers were heavily guarded, and some generals with news arrived early, but they were not ordered to let any generals outside the firearms battalion enter.

The soldiers of the firearms battalion were very curious when they looked at these things covered by canvas. They didn't understand what this thing called artillery looked like.

Xiao Wenxuan left the palace and went directly to the south gate of Chang'an City, where the firearms camp was located outside the south city.

Feng Deshui has already notified various important civil and military officials to come and see this powerful firearm. This is also the time for Xiao Wenxuan to show his strength to the different surnamed vassal kings.
