Start Summoning West Factory Flower

"Stinky boy, he's being lazy again."

"Ah, Your Highness, Xiao Fuzi is not lazy." Xiao Fuzi quickly wiped his mouth and said aggrieved.

This guy is a foodie, eats whenever he has time, and is not picky.

"Have you entered the product yet?" Zheng Ming glared at him.

Xiao Fuzi smiled shyly: "Your Highness, I just broke through the ninth rank, and now I am a ninth rank martial artist."

Zheng Ming looked at him in surprise.

This kid is really a genius. It took only one month since Yuhuatian accepted his apprenticeship, and he even broke through the ninth rank.

It is said that the predecessor was only Rank [-] after ten years of cultivation, which is a big gap.

But even after breaking through the ninth rank, this kid is still not thin, but he is taller and looks taller than Lianxing.

Fifteen or sixteen is the time to grow up, so you should eat more.

"Take it and eat it, and practice well in the future. When you break through the eighth rank, this king will let you take charge of the kitchen." Zheng Ming handed him the remaining snacks and said.

As he moved into the palace, the number of servants around him increased a lot, and there were more than 200 guards, maids, cooks, etc.

Among them, there are the most guards, a total of more than 100 people. The captain is still Luo Jing, and the rest of the maids, kitchens, gardeners, etc. are all managed by Lianxing's disciple Linghua.

Although Lianxing, Song Baobao, and Xiaofuzi did not have any positions, they were the people that Zheng Ming took by his side, and they had a detached status in the palace.

"Really!" Xiao Fuzi said in surprise.

Zheng Ming glanced at him and said, "Do you think this king is rude?"

"Ah, Xiao Fuzi dare not."

Zheng Ming leisurely finished his lunch, took a nap, and came to the county office in the afternoon.

As the situation in Shanhai County tends to stabilize, Zheng Ming has begun to decentralize.

The affairs of the county government are managed by Lu Shou, and the affairs of the army are in charge of General Gao. Except for some special matters, Zheng Ming has gradually stopped intervening in specific affairs.

"Meet Your Highness."

As soon as Zheng Ming stepped into the county office, many literati and office servants bowed to pay homage.

Now there are more than 300 officials and servants in the county office, filling this small county office to the brim, and even the lobby has more than a dozen civil servants working.

After the new county government office is completed, it will be spacious, and now it can only be used.

"His Royal Highness." Lu Shou and Yao Haisheng came out to greet him.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly and walked into Lu Shou's office study.

In other words, the county government no longer has his office space. Of course, this is also his own request.

"What's the problem these days?" Zheng Ming asked while sitting on Lu Shou's chair.

Lu Shou and Yao Haisheng looked at each other and said, "Your Highness, this is the official salary and reward and punishment system."

Zheng Ming opened the book and looked at it.

Official salaries were the rules he made from the beginning, but Lu Shou made a detailed division of them.

From the six-room clerk to the county and yamen, and the village order, etc., each position has been clearly defined.

In general, it did not deviate from the rules that Zheng Ming had set.

As for the reward and punishment system, Zheng Ming looked at it and frowned slightly.

"Too light."

Lu Shou tightened his body and said quickly, "Your Highness, this is made according to the laws of the dynasty, and it is already much stricter than the laws of the dynasty."

Zheng Ming's face turned cold and he said, "When did Shanhai County obey the laws of the dynasty?"

The Dali Dynasty's management of officials was very loose, even if it was corruption and bribery, it was only dismissal, and there were almost no death sentences such as beheading.

Moreover, there are many unspoken rules in the Dali officialdom, and some things are well known to everyone, and no one cares at all.

"I don't care what happened to Dali, Shanhai County is up to this king. What's the punishment for this kind of salary? The high salary set by this king is not for the punishment." Zheng Ming said dissatisfiedly.

"As an official, knowing the law and breaking the law will add one more level to the crime."

"Rewards should be rewarded heavily, and punishments should be severely punished. Those who take bribes and break the law will be dismissed, those who fulfill their duties will be promoted, and those who embezzle a large amount of bribes will have their homes ransacked and beheaded. Even if it is you, Mr. Lu, who dare to embezzle money and money, this king will drag it out and chop it up."

Zheng Ming said in a stern voice.

Lu Shou trembled all over, and fell to his knees with a thud, his head touching the ground, and said, "Xiaguan dare not."

Zheng Ming snorted coldly, "Are you afraid that you will commit crimes in the future when you formulate such a system?"

"Your Highness has no such idea, please look into it." Lu Shou's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Seeing Zheng Ming's fury, Yao Haisheng, who was beside him, knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Zheng Ming looked at the booklet again, and then said plainly: "Get up, the reward and punishment system is re-customized."

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Lu Shou and Yao Haisheng stood up tremblingly.

"Is there anything else?" Zheng Ming asked again.

Lu Shou wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Zheng Ming's anger made him very frightened.

Chapter 29 Beixuan Island Huang Yu

"His Royal Highness, the county academy has been built, and the selection of the teaching has been completed, and we can start recruiting students." Lu Shou said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and said, "Then let's recruit them. If you don't have to study, you will be provided with lunch at noon. All teenagers in the city who are between the ages of eight and 16 can enroll."

Shanhai County has been lax in literature and Taoism, and scholars are very scarce. Now that the academy is completed, he must train a group of qualified scholars as soon as possible.

Knowledge does not need to be too deep, as long as you can read and write vernacular.

There are about 3 residents in Shanhai County, and there are about 16 teenagers between the ages of eight and 1000. Excluding women, there are only about 500 people.

Zheng Ming estimated that it would be good to recruit 300 people. After all, not everyone wants to study.

Teenagers over the age of ten are already considered the labor force of their families, and those from poor families are likely not to enroll.

As for compulsory or compulsory education, Shanhai County does not yet have that kind of strength.

There is no shortage of silver, Zheng Ming and the county government. What is lacking is teachers. Without teachers, compulsory education is delusional.

So now Zheng Ming only opened one academy and one martial arts institute, as for the rest, let's take it slow.

"His Royal Highness, if you don't put a stop to the cultivation, the Academy of Literature will probably not be able to last." Lu Shou said in a low voice.

"Have you made a budget for next year's income and expenditure?" Zheng Ming asked.

Lu Shou walked to the desk, took out a book, handed it to Zheng Ming, and said, "I've already done it, and I expect to lose 5 taels of silver next year."

At present, the main expenditure of the county government is the salaries of officials and construction costs. Road repairs, expansion of cities, construction of houses, etc. are all large.

The county government's main income is only the taxation of cultivated land, and the gap between income and expenditure is very large.

Zheng Ming looked at the booklet, but he didn't care too much.

Such a result is normal. Shanhai County has little arable land, and the development of Shanhai County cannot be supported by the land tax. If it wants to develop, it must rely on business.

Shanhai County is not without products. Fur, herbs, etc. in the mountains, fishery products and sea vegetables in the sea can all be sold.

But these alone are not enough, Shanhai County also needs some pillar industries.

such as salt.

Zheng Ming does not know the specific steps of drying salt, but he knows how to dry it.

In fact, Shanhai County is not short of salt, because some people can cook salt. Since boiling salt can be done, there is no reason why it can't be dried. The big deal is to experiment a few times.

As for whether the salt will affect the interests of others and attract hatred from others, Zheng Ming has not considered it for the time being.

In addition to salt, there are also high alcohol, soap, glass, etc., which can be slowly experimented.

After the Wendao in Shanhai County is prosperous, Zheng Ming may be able to launch various scientific disciplines.

But these all take time.

Zheng Ming looked at the booklet, pondered for a long time, and said, "How much money has been released so far?"

"It's already more than 8 taels." Lu Shou said.

"With a population of 18 and 10 taels of silver, even if the people had saved money before, the per capita would still be less than one tael of silver." Zheng Ming calculated.

"Another 20 taels of silver will be released next year. At the same time, we will increase our business and trade efforts with the Northern Mansion and form more caravans."

Zheng Ming still has one million taels of silver in his hand, but in order to avoid inflation, he can only release it little by little.

Silver is a good thing, but for the small Shanhai County, too much is not good.

Lu Shou and Yao Haisheng looked at each other, they couldn't understand Zheng Ming's thoughts.

According to their ideas, those deposits should be spent slowly, otherwise, like Zheng Ming, he would be profligate, and the county government would run out of money in a few years.

However, they had just experienced Zheng Ming's anger, and they did not dare to raise any objections.

……

After receiving Zheng Ming's order, Yu Huatian immediately set off with two factory guards and Li Chuan.

Their first stop was Beixuan Island.

Beixuan Island is located in the northern part of the Luoyu Islands, close to the Luoyu Mountains, almost to the north of Fuhai Island.

It takes three hours to arrive by boat from the coast of Shanhai County.

However, Yu Huatian waited on the boat all night before arriving at Beixuan Island the next morning.

Beixuan Island is several times larger than Fuhai Island, in the shape of a north-south strip. Because there is a mysterious mountain on the island, it is named Beixuan Island.

But there are only more than 300 residents on the island, most of whom are Huang Yu's family members and the families of his disciples and grandchildren.

Huang Yu is 62 years old this year. She is not tall, with gray hair and wearing a linen jacket. She looks like an old country farmer.

If Li Chuan hadn't said that he was Huang Yu, Yuhuatian would not have believed that such a rural old farmer would be the owner of Fuhai Island.

In a shabby hall, there are several sets of tables and chairs with peeling paint, which is not as good as a rich country family.

Yu Huatian walked into the hall, and the factory guard behind him immediately wiped a chair and placed it behind him.

"The chief supervisor is Yuhuatian, the chief supervisor of Xichang under the command of the king of Shanhai County." Yuhuatian looked at the old country farmer in front of him indifferently.

Huang Yu glanced at him, but did not care about his attitude, but smiled kindly: "It turns out that it is the person of His Royal Highness the Prince of the County.

There were also several of Huang Yu's disciples in the hall, and they all looked at Yu Huatian in surprise.

His own family knew his own affairs. Huang Yu was pure-hearted and had few desires. He did not like power or money, but he was quite strict and had high requirements for his disciples.

Therefore, although Beixuan Island's strength is very strong, it is not as powerful as Yihetang on Luoyu Islands.

Under normal circumstances, very few people would come to Beixuan Island.

Yu Huatian didn't sell his way, and asked directly: "Is the Lord Huangdao willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"Thank you for your highness and the overseer's kindness. I'm just an old country villager with no virtue and incompetence to assist your highness. I also look to the overseer Haihan." Huang Yu refused without hesitation.

Yu Huatian looked down at the hilt of the sword and said, "His Royal Highness will give a sect order to Beixuan Island."

Huang Yu's eyes were slightly bright, but they soon dimmed.

Establishing a sect is the dream of many loose cultivators. Huang Yu also had this idea when he was young, but unfortunately, as he grew older, he no longer wanted it.

On the contrary, he felt very troublesome to join the command of the king.

"Beixuan Island's strength is low, and I really dare not accept His Highness's love." He still refused.

On the contrary, the disciples around him were a little moved.

It's just that Huang Yu is strict, they dare not intervene.

"You are rejecting His Highness's kindness." Yu Huatian touched the hilt of the sword and said softly.

"I don't dare, I'm just immoral and incompetent," Huang Yu said in a deep voice.

Just relying on Yu Huatian's few words is like asking him to surrender to a strange prince, it is absolutely impossible, not to mention that he has no intention of surrendering to others, even if there is, it is not the prince of Shanhai.

In the east of Luoyu Islands is the Dongying Dynasty, in the north is the Dajin Dynasty, and in the south there is the Dazhou Dynasty. Although it is the closest to Shanhai County, it is not far from the other three dynasties.
