Crossing the God of Warring States System

Chapter 49 Industry is prosperous

Chapter 49
"The current state of Qi is really good."

This is Wu Zhong's sigh. Since he started the abacus business, wealth has flowed into their Wu family like flowing water, and he has also jumped from a small post house boss to a wealthy businessman.

In just one month, the Wu family's abacus was promoted throughout the Central Plains, and everyone knew it.Of course, Zhou Zihao's marketing support is indispensable. According to the requirements, he recruited a group of promoters to sell in various countries.

Wu Zhong is now actively responding to Zhou Zihao's call, investing the money he earns into emerging industries, and raising funds to build many schools in Qi State, because he heard that Zhou Zihao wants to make education the basic national policy of Qi State in the future.

Not only schools were established in Linzi, but many primary schools were also established in the surrounding counties to enroll school-age children.

And the teacher invites the lowest-level bachelors to be the job. Although these bachelors are nobles, they have no fiefdoms, no source of income, and often can’t eat enough. It’s okay if someone invites them to be doormen. Figure out your own way.

They are more willing to be a teacher and give lectures to rich people, but they are not very willing to do those simple jobs.

Not to mention, as soon as the school building was built, it was praised by Qi Wang Zhou Zihao, and it was stipulated that these schools should be named after him.Immediately, Wu Zhong's name became more famous in the Qi country. Although Wu Zhong has no noble status yet, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that his future development will not be too bad based on his relationship with King Qi.

With Zhou Zihao's support, he is more attentive to education. He not only pays for salary, but also prepares to provide food for the children in the school when the money is sufficient.

Zhou Zihao originally wanted to develop education in an all-round way, so it would be best if someone helped him do it now.

The Zhang family, Craftsman Zhang, were the first group of skilled craftsmen to accept the arrangement of the prince, and they were also the first group of people to benefit.

Craftsman Zhang looked at the crossbow in his hand and sighed with satisfaction: "It is simply a work of art. It is not only easy to carry, but also has greatly enhanced lethality."

Zhou Zihao gave them a cumbersome crossbow, but after his improvement, it is easy to carry and use, with a range of about 500 meters, almost reaching the longest range of 600 meters in later generations.

After the first improved weapon was presented, Craftsman Zhang was named the weapons manufacturing officer of Qi State by Zhou Zihao. Although he had no rank for the time being, he could still be considered a small upper class, plus the reward for making weapons. , even if it takes several lifetimes, it will never be spent.

As a descendant of Lu Ban, it is impossible for him to just imitate Zhou Zihao's weapons. He has to find the footprints of his ancestors and continue to create in order to continue to prosper.

The metallurgical workshop of the Zhang family was originally small, but now it has expanded to several thousand people and has recruited 2000 unemployed people nearby, giving those unemployed farmers many opportunities to make money.

With the canonization of Qi Wang Zhou Zihao, his family gradually expanded, and the inheritance of the first rent began to flourish in his hands.

At the same time, he was even more grateful to Zhou Zihao for his kindness. He secretly vowed to be loyal to Qi from generation to generation and would never allow other countries to invade. Even if a country invaded, he would be the first to support the country in fighting.

The prosperous industry is also metallurgy. The metallurgists who were appointed that day have now become experts in Qi State. The most valued metallurgist is the Xuanyuan family. Among many competitors, the Xuanyuan family was the first to smelt steel. Steel is the most difficult to refine. It is said that it was only in the Han Dynasty that there was a hundred refined steel, but now it is refined by the Xuanyuan family.

The moment Xuanyuantian smelted the steel, he collapsed for a while. When he slashed at the ordinary bronze sword with the hilt made of steel, he was stunned. The bronze sword broke directly, while the steel hilt But there was no damage.

This kind of situation can only appear in legends. The weapon that cuts iron like mud can be done by the ancient go-getter Moxie, but it was sacrificed with the soul.

After being dazed for a while, he immediately thought of the prince, no, he is now the king of Qi.

At that time in the Prince's Mansion, Zhou Zihao only gave him the method and direction. Unexpectedly, they really forged steel with their tenacity. The weapons made of these steels can be said to be invincible, because steel weapons can directly cut off bronze weapons at will.

When Zhou Zihao saw Xuanyuantian presenting the steel sword, he stared blankly for a long time.

After confirming that the technology was mature, Xuanyuantian was immediately recruited into the palace, given the title of General Iron Smelter, and enjoyed noble treatment.

Xuanyuantian didn't expect that one day he would be able to enter the royal capital and become the "General of Iron Smelting". Even if he didn't know what level it was, but it would definitely be useful for him to be awarded by King Qi himself.

After negotiating to expand the manufacture of steel weapons, Xuanyuantian went back to form the largest team to manufacture steel for Qi.

An opportunity made him a nobleman of Qi, enjoying the same status as a nobleman.

It also made him famous in Qi country and became a famous master far and near.And his centripetal force is also Qi, and he is proud of being from Qi.

The biggest change in Qi State is that the wasteland that could not be planted before has been greatly reclaimed, because now Qi State announced that as long as the local aboriginal residents can use the newly issued farm tools to open up wasteland, the opened land can be used by pioneers, and three Year without paying taxes.

With the support of a large number of practical farm tools, the arable land in Qi State has increased by almost one-third, and the old system of "the capable will work more and be distributed according to work" has been fully implemented in Qi State again. The "distribution of labor" was originally proposed by Guan Zhong, but due to the oppression of the nobles, the people at the bottom have not been able to enjoy the benefits of the system.

The original land system was abandoned by Zhou Zihao, and the modern distribution of land to households was implemented instead. Most of the original nobles were sent to the remote areas of Qi State for testing. In Zhou Zihao's words, they were re-educated by poor and lower-middle peasants. Send troops to suppress.

The method used by Zhou Zihao is similar to that of Shang Yang, which is to make a thorough reform, otherwise the work below will not progress.

In order to oppose Zhou Zihao's reform, the aristocrats in the imperial court directly collectively dismissed from office. Zhou Zihao had thought of these a long time ago, so before mobilizing the aristocrats, a large-scale national assessment was held in Qi State in order to accumulate reserve talents.

Many of the intellectuals at the bottom are retainers, entrusted to live in noble families.They also have ambitions, and they all want to display their talents in their lifetimes.

Moreover, the rule set by Zhou Zihao is that as long as he can pass the exam, he will be assigned an official position with a fixed salary.

So as soon as the assessment was announced, many bachelors left their original nobles and came to participate in the assessment.

Fortunately, Zhou Zihao had the help of his mother, Zhong Wuyan, Meng Changjun, and Sun Bin, so that Qi could develop smoothly.

····
For a month, the changes in Qi State overwhelmed everyone, but the ability of the new King Qi opened their eyes.It also made the people with little status see the hope of turning around, and they are no longer limited to farming in the field.

Employment opportunities have also changed from scarcity to opportunities everywhere. As long as you are willing to learn, you can learn a skill to make a living.

They also hope to get the exclusive attention of King Qi and work on special projects, so that they can quickly get rid of poverty.

Now, Zhou Zihao is about to become a god-like man in the eyes of the Qi State. He has done a lot of practical things for the Qi State in less than half a month after becoming the King of Qi.

Although the original Qi State seemed to be very prosperous, class conflicts had already begun to appear. If they were not resolved, the future development would tend to be difficult.
