Chapter 726

In ancient times, wars were cruel. In addition, communication and transportation were inconvenient and the mode of communication was not good. When they went to war, they often didn't return for years or decades. Therefore, every time they went to war, they made these people sad.

Some write wills, some say goodbye to their families, and those who have no worries quickly gamble and whore indiscriminately, spend all their money and go to the battlefield.

Liu Bu had no idea about this, because he knew that they just set out for Wuchang or Xiangyang to fight the enemy.

They are sure to win the enemy and win.

The next day, the news of the defeat of the Chinese army in Yiling spread all over Jinling, and the whole city of Nanjing was shocked.

What is even more shocking is that Zhu Xieyuan, who is known as the great tomorrow nanzhushi, defeated the Laizhou division of the Chinese army and killed all the prisoners. The head was built into a Jingguan, and the body was thrown into the Yangtze River... Such atrocities are disgusting.

Such news shocked the people, the army and the people.

Zhu Xieyuan is a tough man and uses his arms like a God, but such people are not good people. According to his cruel temper, will he also treat the people in Nanjing as slave thieves, capture Jinling and have a massacre.

Seeing this civilized practice after Liu Jun occupied Jinling, these people thought that the armies all over the world should be like this.

However, Zhu Xieyuan's practice made these people soberly realize that the army is ruthless and ruthless. Once they turn their face and refuse to recognize people, they will do many inhuman things.

One thing is absolutely certain, that is, they will never have any good attitude towards the people who are under the authority of Liu thieves.

I think that when the officers and soldiers exterminated the exiled bandits in the north, they leveled many cities. First, they killed Liang and made contributions; Second, take advantage of the situation to rob, which makes more people panic.

They realized that if Liu Jiajun won, they might have a good life, but if Liu Jiajun failed, they must not have a good life. They knew that their life and death had been linked to the power of the Chinese army, which plunged the whole city into a panic.

At this time, Liu Yuanqiao made some arrangements, which was to appoint his cousin Liu Yuanshan as the Minister of the Ministry of officials, in charge of personnel power; Liu Fuqi, the Minister of registered residence, was appointed to the Ministry of residence. Wu Fugui, one of his important aides, was appointed as the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, in charge of the name of law and punishment, Wang Wendong was the censor of Zuo Du of the ducha academy, picketing hundreds of officials, and song xiance was the Secretary of Dali temple.

These are not surprising, because Liu Yuanshan is his younger brother and is regarded as a member of the royal family. Liu Fuqi and Wu Fugui have also followed him for more than 20 years. As his left and right arms, they have made great contributions. The most surprising thing is that Huang Dong was appointed as the minister of work.

Together with the Ministry of national defense, the Ministry of war, which Liu Bu is in charge of, Liu Yuanqiao has preliminarily completed the appointment of Jiuqing of the six ministries.

Huang Dong was appointed Minister of the Ministry of industry on the recommendation of Liu bu. Liu Bu summoned Huang Dong immediately after returning to the Ministry of national defense the next day.

Huang Dong was a petty official who Liu Buhua dug up from the Ministry of work at a high price. After digging up, he found that the money was worth it. He was very greedy for money and lust, but his ability was really not generally strong.

In the Daming Work Department, he is the existence of the contractor. What he is very good at is to get the project from the officials, and then subcontract it to make profits. To put it bluntly, he has high management ability and coping ability.

Huang Dong has been a craftsman for generations. As a craftsman, he is very bad. He can't make all kinds of things by picking up a hammer. However, he is very good at these scenes of management and entertainment.

Huang Dong can't make cannons, but he can organize people and horses to make cannons.

With the addition of Huang Dong, the manufacturing capacity of the Liu family has been greatly improved. They have the ability to manufacture red cannon. Their steelmaking and efficiency in all aspects have also been greatly improved. For his excellent ability performance, Liu Bu has promoted from a thousand households to a higher level of four grade official. Of course, this is a false title.

But it was such a false title that Huang Dong resolutely decided to move his father to Shandong to settle in Laizhou and quit his job in the capital.

Daming has a registered residence registration system. It is impossible for the average person to move. But if it is a government official or a powerful person, it is a question of one sentence.

Huang Dong moved to Laizhou, which is a sign of confidence in the Liu family.

What's rare is that Huang Taigong gave him strong support. I heard that his son became a fourth grade official and wanted to move to Laizhou, Shandong. Huang Taigong didn't have any hometown to leave. He immediately agreed.

At that time, Huang Dong was still teasing Taigong. He said, "Dad, I'm afraid he can't go back to the capital when he goes to Shandong. It's impossible to go back to the capital and return to his roots."

Huang Taigong said loudly, "as long as I can be buried as an official family, even if I honor my ancestors, the fallen leaves will not return to their roots. Where I float, I will be there, and where the green mountains will not bury people."

This is also the Liu family's principle of employment. As long as you have the ability and don't care about your origin, you will be the only important task. This is also because they are a newly rising force, expand very fast and have many positions, which can attract many talents.

Huang Dong's character is really not good. He can even be listed as a greedy villain, but his ability is quite strong. After he took over Liu Jiajun's gun factory, with the help of Portuguese technicians, they quickly produced their own red cannon. Liu Bu saw his ability, so he handed over the iron and steel factory and fire gun factory to him for management.

After Huang Dong took over these things, he greatly improved the production capacity. He can't strike iron, produce fire guns, and make armor. However, he greatly improved the production capacity through a unique management method. This unique method is a bit like an assembly line for future generations.

Now there is no motor and no assembly line, but its working philosophy is the same. Why can Liu Jiajun equip every soldier with iron armor?

That's because their steel output and the output of the armor factory have greatly increased. The increase in output means that the cost has been reduced. The cost of an iron armor of the imperial court has reached more than 100 Liang silver, while the armor of the Liu family is only about 30 Liang at most.

That's why Liu Bu especially appreciated Huang Dong. When they went south to Nanjing, Liu Bu designated Huang Dong as one of the personnel going south to be responsible for building iron and steel plants and gun factories for them in the south.

Laizhou, Shandong, is already mature, and Jiangnan is their initiative. It is impossible for them to transport all weapons and equipment from Shandong. They must also establish their heavy industry system and Arsenal system in the south.

In this regard, Liu Bu's men have no more suitable candidates except Huang Dong.

Huang Dong also heard that Liu Jiajun was defeated in the western front. They all knew that Liu Jiajun wanted to mobilize all forces to advance westward and fight a decisive battle with Zhu Xieyuan's army, but he didn't expect what Liu Bu summoned him at such a critical juncture.

Huang Dong came here under the order of Liu bu. He was actually very pleased and happy, but when he came, he found that there was no place for him. Before, he was in charge of the military industry system of the Liu family. Shandong Cheng, who was the fourth grade, announced the title of right counsellor of the political secretary, with low position, heavy power and excellent treatment.

But when he came to the south of the Yangtze River from Shandong, his title remained unchanged, but it was of no use. When the land lord of Shandong came to the south of the Yangtze River, it was estimated that he could not protect the safety of one side of the people.

Huang Dong was still wondering whether the rabbit died and the dog cooked, and the birds were full of bows and arrows. When the output of the Liu family and the factory were done well, he didn't need him, who was hired with a lot of money and courtesy, but appointed his own people. When Huang Dong was nervous, he received Liu Bu's summons.

He didn't know what was the matter, but since it was summoned by the marshal, he didn't dare to hesitate at all. He immediately rode his horse and came quickly, and didn't dare to delay. He saw Liu Bu and Huang Dong paid homage with a big gift.

Liu Bu didn't ask the other party to get up, but asked the other party to introduce the situation of Shandong Arsenal. Huang Dong knew very well about this aspect and talked about it like a treasure.

Liu Bu asked, "do you think there is anything to improve in our military industrial system?"

After listening to Huang Dong, he said: "of course, there are improvements. The main reason is that the basis of our design is unreasonable at the beginning, resulting in the inability to increase the production capacity. Later, we found deficiencies, and some infrastructure can't be changed if we want to change it. If we can make a reasonable plan at the beginning, our current output can be increased and our labor and material costs can be further reduced."

Liu Bu said to song xiance, "look! Am I right? Huang Dong is still an able man."

Song xiance, who liked to hold a feather fan to force, shook the fan and said with a smile, "Huang Dong is good. He knows his own skills without a teacher. If he doesn't learn skills, he can be of great use."

Liu Bu said, "you know Ben Shuai called you today. What's the matter?"

Huang Dong said, "I don't know if I'm an officer."

Liu Bu said, "the position of the Minister of work is empty. Ben Shuai wants to recommend you for this position."

Hearing the news, Huang Dong was really stunned. He was an official fan, greedy for power, money and lust, but he knew that it was the limit to be a four grade official with his own materials. He didn't dare to think about a higher-level official.

As for the Shangshu of the Ministry of work, he is also the God of their craftsman world. As a little common people, he never thought that he would become a God one day.

Seeing the other party stunned, Liu Bu was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "are you confident to do well?"

Huang Dong knew that a huge opportunity was right in front of him. If he didn't grasp it, he would regret it for three generations. He said, "I will devote myself to my work and die."
