Money, money, money again, Xie Jingan now has a headache when he hears this word, but who told him that his fief is so barren, and he doesn't want to be a dandy prince who just wants to eat, drink and have fun, so even if the pressure is so great that he can't sleep Ping An, can only accept fate and manage it bit by bit.

Fortunately, the most difficult hurdle has passed, and the bidding meeting was successfully concluded yesterday. He now has more than 700 million taels of cash in his hands. Although it is only a drop in the bucket for the development of the fiefdom, at least he has capital. Holding in his hands the patented technology that can make a lot of money in this era, coupled with the natural advantages brought by his status, as long as he doesn't risk his life, his fief will prosper sooner or later.

Xie Jingan fantasized about the bustling scene of traffic and people in the future for a while, Xie Jingan only felt that the pressure on his shoulders was lightened, and his heart was getting hotter and hotter. He pondered for a while on the difficult problems that Xu He said, and calmly said: "Do The raw materials of soap, perfume, liquor and wages for the workers are easy to talk about. There is still some money left in the palace. When I return to the palace, I will ask Director Qin to transfer the money to you. You can hold on to the money for a few days, and it won’t take long for the various families to transport it to Mozhou The caravan is coming, and as for the children..."

Xie Jing'an was a little hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't express his intentions. Instead, he frowned slightly and looked at Xu Hedao: "Mr. Xu thinks how to deal with this matter?"

Ask him how to deal with it?Although Xu He is also a small official who eats the imperial rations, but the official is small, and even the official rank is not high-ranking. Don't look at him in this equipment department. When it comes to real discussions, he can only listen, and has no right to speak.

So this time is the same as in the past, Xu He talked about the problems facing the equipment department now, and waited respectfully for King Shun's decision with his sleeves folded. Other officials in the palace were ordinary and asked him how to deal with it.

Even though Xu He has passed the age of knowing his fate, and his temperament has long been worn down by the world, he couldn't help but show a strange expression. He seemed to realize it after a while, and said with a little surprise and a little excitement: "Return to Your Highness, little boy!" People think that although these children are young and weak, they can't do much work now, but they can be given a bowl of food and a place to sleep as apprentices. After two years, they will be useful if they are older. Children with relatives are different. They have no one to take care of them. After eating the last meal, they never have the next meal. They finally rushed to Mozhou for thousands of miles. I don’t know how many days they haven’t eaten. Mozhou, if this qi dissipates, I don't know if I can survive in this freezing day."

Xu He sighed at the end, his eyes were full of pity, and then he was a little nervous. After all, he is just a low-ranking official, and it is already a virtue of his ancestors to stand in front of King Shun and listen to his teachings, just like this Discussing the state affairs is already beyond the norm, if His Highness doesn't pursue it, it doesn't matter, if it is really pursued, even if the upright Wei Changshi is present, it can't be said that King Shun mishandled it.

Xu He just started talking eloquently, but when he finished speaking, his face turned pale from the fright of some scenes he imagined, but fortunately his worries did not come true in the end, and even Xie Jingan didn't even look at him after listening , After pondering for a moment, he said: "Master Xu's words are reasonable, those children are still young and can't do anything, but in a few years, they will be strong and young, and this king is a feudal vassal King, it is the responsibility of this king to let the people have food, clothing and clothing, and now it is incompetent to let these children have nothing to support, how can we see these children living on the streets, or even dying in a foreign land?"

Xie Jing'an was heartbroken, and said: "That's it, you recruit these children, let them do some light work during the day, help craftsmen, or help other young and strong carry things, and the meals will follow Other young and strong are used together in the equipment department, as for the place to live..."

Xie Jing'an couldn't come up with a solution to this problem for a while. After all, Mozhou City is not big, and the people are not too many. There are some houses left, but they are all the courtyards where rich families from local families live in their spare time. It's not easy for him to force him If people donate it, it can be bought with silver money, but his own palace is almost too poor to open the pot, and all the spare money has to support the equipment department to continue to make perfume, soap and liquor, so there is no spare money for him to buy a garden.

The aristocratic families who bought the regional sales rights at the bidding meeting owed him nearly 700 million taels of cash, but they could not quench their thirst. When they transported the silver taels to Mozhou for thousands of miles, these orphans would have frozen to death long ago. .

Xie Jing'an thought about it, but he couldn't come up with a solution. Thinking of the urgency, he still hated himself why he didn't urge the equipment department to burn the cement earlier. With this thing, it is a sharp tool for paving roads, building houses and repairing city walls.

It's just that no matter how much he hates the present, it won't help. He only hopes that the families can quickly transport the money to Mozhou, so as to solve his urgent needs. Now he can only use the tents of the city guards to make up the number, that's all Over the past year, the city guards have not won a single battle, so it is inevitable that people will be slack, and they don't know if the tent is still there.

Xie Jingan was praying in his heart, and he wanted to say these words out of his mouth. Who would have thought that he would only open his mouth when he raised his eyes. Shen Wei, who had been standing behind him since entering the hall and never uttered a word, said with a thoughtful expression on his face: " Your Highness, according to what I have seen, these children can temporarily live in the city guard's barracks located a dozen miles outside Mozhou City."

As soon as Shen Wei's words came out, the minds of the people in the hall were immediately attracted, and Xie Jing'an even urged: "Why did Vice Commander Shen say that? If the children live in it, the sergeants in the city guard should stay there for as long as possible." where?"

Ever since King Shun arrived in the fief, Shen Wei had done nothing but to know the settings of some troops in and out of the city, so at this time he seemed particularly confident, and said with his head held high and his eyes burning: " His Highness does not know that there should be 5000 soldiers guarding the city of Mozhou, but Mozhou is far away from the border, and the three states of Tanjiping and Ping that are always threatened by barbarians are guarded by General Song. They have not experienced war for more than ten years. The taxes collected by the villagers were insufficient, and the sergeants often did not receive their military pay. Over the years, the city guards had grown from the original 2000 men to less than [-] now. The [-] full quota was built, so there are naturally many vacant rooms left.”

Shen Wei finished this paragraph calmly, Xie Jingan was overjoyed when he was surprised, if there were no outsiders present, he wanted to maintain his majesty as a feudal lord, he really wanted to laugh three times.

Although it was a bit tough for him as a vassal king, there were always solutions to the problems he faced.

Feeling happy for a moment, Xie Jing'an said: "What Deputy Commander Shen said is true. According to Deputy Commander Shen, these children should be temporarily placed in the military camp outside the city. As for the inconvenience of traveling..."

Xie Jing'an thought carefully for a moment, and said: "My lord sees that the equipment department's compound is not big now, but more and more workshops are being built, and they still recruit craftsmen and young and strong workers every day. Wei's military camp outside the city has space. According to the king, the workshops that make perfume, soap, and liquor in the equipment department should be moved there together. This military camp is located more than ten miles outside the city, and the land is sparsely populated. It is not afraid that the land will be useless even if it is expanded, what does Master Xu think?"

As Xu He, whose whole family lived in the city, moved the entire equipment department to such a wild place outside the city, he was naturally unhappy, but although he knew that King Shun was different from other nobles, he was a He was amiable, but he didn't dare to push forward, so he only responded in a low voice.

Xie Jing'an originally just informed Xu He, so he wasn't worried that he would disagree, but Xie Jing'an still had another plan to move the equipment department out of the city.

He asked the equipment department to move out of the city because the equipment department is too crowded now, and another reason is the issue of technical confidentiality.

Don't look at how happy he was doing business with the various families yesterday. Not only did he sell the regional sales rights at a high price, but he also sold a lot of deposits for soaps, perfumes, and liquors. Respectfully.

At first glance, it seems to be quite complete, and there is no problem, but Xie Jingan knows in his heart that the peace and smoothness are only temporary, and the behemoths that the aristocratic family can develop to the present will never be allowed to be led by the nose, even if they behaved in the beginning I do business with him back and forth, but I will never give up my determination to use all means to get the technology in his hands.

Xie Jing'an is now pointing to these technologies to earn capital to develop the fiefdom, so it is natural to prevent the aristocratic family's plan from being in the bud. Although it will not be able to prevent these technologies from leaking in the end, or others will use his finished products to push the craftsmanship backwards, it is also necessary to guard against it. One day is one day, even if it is only a year and a half?It was enough to earn enough money for him to breathe!

What method can be used to block other people's prying to the greatest extent? Naturally, the military camp is the most suitable. Moreover, the military camp is still located in a remote area, and there are few people nearby. As long as he guards the entrances and exits of several places in the general camp and strictly manages the workshops The entry and exit of personnel, strict inspection of the people in contact with the craftsmen who master the core technology in the workshop, can prevent technology leakage in a short time.

Xie Jingan thought clearly, but it was not appropriate to say these words to others, so he asked a few words about the recent situation of the workshop, Xie Jingan changed his voice, and finally talked about forging new weapons for the patrolling guards.

Xu He knew that when King Shun came to inspect the equipment department suddenly, he knew that King Shun must have something to order, so he was not surprised by the errand given by Xie Jingan, but he was a little surprised when he took the blueprint drawn by Xie Jingan himself, and studied it for a long time Hesitantly said: "Your Highness, this picture...it looks a bit like the bows and crossbows used by the former Qin army, but the drawings handed down from the former Qin Dynasty are rare. The villain was lucky enough to see it once when he was young, but it was just an imitation painting. There are some differences between them, and it is also different from the blueprint of His Highness, the villain dares to ask, is this blueprint of His Highness handed down from the former Qin Dynasty?"
