Chapter 640

Looking at Gao Yan's sad appearance, the swallow is not strange.

She didn't know Gao Yan on the first day. Whenever she saw people suffering, Gao Yan always showed a sad look.

But to tell the truth, isn't this the most fascinating thing about him?

"Sorry swallow, I shouldn't have said this in front of you." Gao Yan sighed softly.

"You and I will be husband and wife soon. What do you mean by being born like this?"

The swallow's face was red, looking at several begging victims in the distance and said, "however, those victims are really poor. I heard that in recent days, many people have been frozen to death, and many others have starved to death."

"Swallow, why don't we cook some porridge and give alms to the poor."

Gao Yan thought about it. If he wants to make a big career, he needs reputation first.

His reputation has been good before. Many people know that he is a talented and powerful son of your family, but this is not enough. He needs to let the world know that he is a poor man wholeheartedly.

"Well, brother Gao Yan, your idea is really good."

"Well, I'll arrange someone to prepare immediately."

Soon, Gao Yan asked his servants to set up several pots and prepare many bowls at his door, and some servants ran out to beat gongs and drums.

"My young master Gao Yan is giving porridge for free. Go and eat it quickly."

"Young master Gao Yan of my family sees that you are cold. Have some porridge to warm up."

"Everyone, go and eat."

Several servants beat gongs and drums, all saying that Gao Yan was good.

"Thank you, young master Gao Yan. You are very kind."

When a woman took two bowls of white rice porridge with her child on her back, she was moved to cry.

"There are not many good people like master Gao Yan these days."

"Yes, if the emperor can be as kind as young master Gao Yan, then our life will be easier."

Listening to these people's words, Gao Yan's heart was as sweet as honey.

In fact, he has great ambition and is not satisfied with being only a young master of a rich family. He wants to be worshipped by all people and above all people.

Even he didn't expect that a few bowls of porridge made him so praised.

This gave him hope. It seemed that it was not so difficult to seize the country.

Unable to help himself, he looked up at the sky in the dark, seven stars in a row.

His eyes coagulated. As a scholar who has read a lot of poetry, he certainly knows what the seven stars represent.

"It seems that even heaven wants me to overthrow this great burning Dynasty......"

……………………

"Ahchoo, ahchoo............."

In the early morning of the next day, Wang chonglian sneezed several times, and immediately muttered, "after the Seven Star streak last night, it seems that many people want to pay attention to me. It seems that we should hurry up to prepare."

Now that the weather is getting warmer, it is the time for everything to recover.

When many disaster victims returned home to farm, Wang Zhong introduced a new deal.

The first new deal.

Send Shen Yu's fleet to establish trade relations with overseas countries.

For safety, Wang Zhong sent the only naval escort in China.

And put a lot of tea, porcelain and silk from the Dayan Dynasty on the ship.

These things sell well in China, but if you take them out, you can exchange for many things useful to dayangchao.

The most important thing is food.

Secondly, for all kinds of meat, Wang Zhong even considered introducing some foreign fruits that are easy to store, so he specially told Shen Yu's father to have a look.

The second new deal.

Taking the capital as the center, we found various excuses to suppress the landlord forces in batches.

This is relatively easy. As long as these landlords do not unite, they can't turn over big waves.

It is also because of batch processing, so there is a feeling of boiling frogs in warm water. Although the landlords complain, it is within the controllable range.

The third new deal.

Start large-scale mining of iron ore, coal mines, these places.

In the past, Dayan Dynasty also exploited these places, but the scale was not large.

One reason is that we don't pay attention to this aspect because we can't use so much.

Secondly, coal was not widely used in ancient times.

But in Wang Chong's hands, this thing is a good thing.

Today, there are three iron mines and six coal mines in Dayan Dynasty. Wang Zhong has cancelled the death penalty and sent all criminals to these places to mine.

The vigorous manufacturing of iron began.

These three new deal kings are expected to be of great use when winter comes again at the end of the year.

For example, if we are the first to establish trade links with overseas countries, we can not only fill the void of the national treasury, but also buy a lot of grain.

The second new deal can alleviate the grievances of many ordinary farmers.

The third new deal is to produce our own weapons and equipment.

At present, these three new policies give priority to development. Others, such as opening brothels and garment factories, can be regarded as maintaining the expenditure of the harem.

……………………

"Emperor, there is news from the blacksmith that the musket you want has been made."

In an instant, half a year has passed.

After hearing the news, Wang Chong was overjoyed.

In recent years, in addition to dealing with state affairs, his most important thing is the manufacture of muskets.

However, due to poor skills, there are many situations, which makes Wang Zhong doubt whether it is God's destiny that he cannot make muskets. Is there really a son of heaven?

Fortunately, the musket was born.

"Mate, let's go and have a look together."

The party came to the ironware room, which is next to the imperial study. Wang Zhong built a blacksmith's room here for convenience.

"Grass people see the emperor!"

Dozens of strong men quickly saluted Wang Chong.

"Well, I heard you made muskets. Show me quickly." Wang chongfen ordered.

"Yes!"

An old man at the head carefully held out a musket with a wooden handle: "emperor, this is a musket made according to your drawing. Several of us have tried it several times, and it can easily pierce the stone with the thickness of the palm, with a range of 20 to 30 meters."

This range is a little short, but after all, it's a new firearm, and you can't ask for too much.

And these twenty or thirty meters are enough. Think about it, when the two armies fight against each other, a thousand muskets can instantly overturn about a thousand enemies, which is unparalleled in the battlefield.

And this thing is much simpler than training to dance knives and guns every day. You don't need to train often to learn it.

The key to the problem now is not to let the musket break fast.

Before, because the chamber was often blasted, the musket broke after firing a few bullets, so it could not play its combat effectiveness.

"How many times can you shoot in succession?" Wang Zhong asked.

"If you go back to the emperor and shoot continuously, these guns have been used more than 300 times, and none of them has a problem."

"Good, good!"

Wang Chong was overjoyed.

"How many can you make every day?"

"About one in three days."

The person who answered was a little speechless, and secretly said that the emperor was worthy of the emperor. This tone was too big, too. It was not easy to make this thing, and he actually said that he would make several pieces every day.

"Too slow." Wang Zhong said, "these days I have built a factory and gathered many people to be responsible for making muskets."

In Wang Zhong's vision, these dozen people will perform their respective duties.

For example, those who specialize in manufacturing iron pipes, gun butts and triggers.

Only in this way can everyone refine his professional field.

Immediately, Wang Zhong told everyone about his idea.

Hearing this, everyone was a little strange. In their thoughts, they didn't know what the purpose of Wang Zhong was to let them perform their respective duties.

But the emperor has spoken, and they can't say anything.

"Well, anyway, today you have made great contributions, partner, make a declaration." Wang Zhong said.

He Taigao came out and pulled up the edict: "carry it by heaven, and the emperor ordered

The content of the imperial edict is very simple, that is, each of these blacksmiths will be rewarded with a house, and they are the leader of each manufacturing equipment. In addition, they are allowed to bring their families to live together, because the house rewarded to them is next to the factory.

After the announcement, Wang Zhong sighed in his heart that this was the first weapons factory in Dayan Dynasty.

In order to maintain a high level of confidentiality, he also plans to build a fence around the factory, so that no unauthorized people can get close.

Of course, it is impossible to be a fat man at one breath. The initial cost is too large. Wang Chong is preparing to build the weapons factory slowly and build muskets on a large scale first.

In an instant, it was the end of the year again.

This year is colder than last year.

Although overseas trade is open, there are not many ships in circulation at the beginning, so it is not realistic to obtain a large amount of food from overseas.

The fight against the landlords went smoothly, but in the later stage, the landlords saw something wrong, and some landlords with strong ability rebelled and united to revolt.

However, this share is not large. Wang Zhong arranged a large army to suppress it in the past. At the same time, Wang Zhong also launched public opinion propaganda. His policy is to fight the landlords and divide the land. Who will the people help after hearing this news?

So over the past six months, the landlord's power has become smaller and smaller, and the people have more and more land in their hands. When Wang Chong sometimes goes out to make private visits in micro clothes, at least not so many people scold him behind his back for being stupid.

The manufacture of muskets was also very smooth. The skills were improved compared with the first batch. The weight was lighter and the accuracy was slightly better.

These ten people brought out a dozen apprentices respectively. In the long run, more and more people would make muskets.

However, these people have been separated by Wang Chong since then.

Very simply, in this way, one can only make one. Even if someone catches one of them, he can only get the manufacturing method of one of the parts, which is not harmful to the overall structure of the musket.

Now many weapons manufacturing factories have been completed. These people have entered their own areas to manufacture parts. They need certificates to enter and leave the factory. No unauthorized people are allowed to enter and leave.

In just one year, the area centered on the capital has taken on a new look.

However, the place far away from the emperor is still undercurrent surging.

For example, a man named Yang Yunzhang appeared in the mountains.

It is said that this man was born as a farmer and made many friends who were also farmers. Although these people united together, they did not achieve self-reliance as king, but they had a high reputation.

According to the information of the East Hall, once Yang Yunzhang revolted, many people followed him, and now he has become a major local problem.
