Chapter 21 The Craftsman
"By the way, have all the craftsmen I asked you to find found?" Zheng Ming asked Lu Shou.

Lu Shou said: "I have found some, but I don't know if the talisman meets His Highness's requirements."

"Let's go, let's meet." Zheng Ming said.

Later, Lu Shou took him to a simple shack outside the city.

The dozen or so temporary shacks looked very disorganized, Zheng Ming frowned slightly when he saw it.

"His Royal Highness, these are all people invited from cottages and villages. There is really no place to live in the city, so they can only be placed here." Lu Shou explained.

"See you sir!"

At this time, more than a dozen people wearing sackcloth shorts gathered together.

"This is His Royal Highness the Prince, and I'm not polite yet." Lu Shou said quickly.

More than a dozen people hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly, "I see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Get up." Zheng Ming frowned and said.

As a modern person, he didn't like these etiquettes, but in the feudal dynasty, he was unavoidable and had to suffer.

When they stood up, Zheng Ming asked, "Who among you can raise livestock and poultry?"

"His Royal Highness, the grass people will raise chickens and ducks."

"His Royal Highness, the grass people will raise cattle and sheep."

"His Royal Highness, the grass people will keep horses."

……

Immediately, five people stood up and bowed their heads.

"Do you know how to raise a horse? What's your name?" Zheng Ming looked at a more than 30-year-old man and asked.

"His Royal Highness, Caomin's name is Liu San. He was originally a horse shepherd at Beishan Governor's Mansion. He was sent to Shanhai County because he lost more than a dozen horses." Liu San said quickly.

The stables of the Governor's Mansion in Beishan!
This is a talent.

Zheng Ming looked him up and down and said, "Lord Lu, write down him. He will be the chief officer of the livestock farm in the future, and everyone else will be assigned to the livestock farm."

"After the livestock farm is built, the breeding will begin immediately."

The importance of animal husbandry in the feudal era was no less than that of agriculture, and it was related to whether the people could eat meat.

Shanhai County is poor, and very few people raise chickens and ducks. As for cattle, sheep and pigs, only Zhao, Song and Liu have three families.Not to mention horses.

And for warriors, meat is also very important.

If you don't eat meat, you still want to practice martial arts and have a strong body. Isn't this a joke?
Therefore, Zheng Ming put animal husbandry in the first place in the development of Shanhai County after getting the allocation of arable land.

"Let the clerk of the county government make a reward and punishment system for the livestock farm, and set a goal, such as chickens and ducks. This king hopes that every household in Shanhai County will have chickens and ducks to raise next year." Zheng Ming said again. .

The development of animal husbandry cannot be achieved by the county government alone, and the power of the people must be mobilized.

"The subordinate takes orders." Lu Shou said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, looked at Liu San and the others, and said, "In the future, you will be the officials of the livestock farm, and the county government will give you salaries. If you do well, the king will reward you with other rewards. Whether the people can eat meat or not depends on you."

"Caomin will definitely not live up to His Highness's expectations." Liu San said excitedly.

Zheng Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "It will be better in the future. When the school is built, send your sons to the school and study literature and martial arts."

Liu San's vicissitudes of life smile turned into a flower, and said, "Your Highness, Caomin only has a daughter, not a son."

"Haha, then have one." Zheng Ming smiled.

"Hehe~~" Liu San laughed, but for some reason there were tears in his cloudy eyes.

Zheng Ming looked at the others again and asked, "Who among you can make gunpowder?"

There is gunpowder in this world, but the application of gunpowder is very shallow. There is no concept of guns and guns. The places where gunpowder is used the most are firecrackers and fireworks.

As a modern person, Zheng Ming certainly will not forget the killing weapon of firearms.

Even in a world where martial arts are prevalent, the power of firearms is still unquestionable.

If there are a few Gatlings, Zheng Ming is still afraid of a ball, and the master will give him a sudden death.

Of course, everything Gatling is delusional. With Dali's technological level, it is difficult to build a cannon.

However, gunpowder is not only useful for firearms, but also for building roads and bridges, and for mining.

Zheng Ming didn't have high hopes for gunpowder in a short period of time. He just wanted to bury the seed first and slowly wait for it to take root and sprout.

"Grassmen will make gunpowder."

Four more people stood up and said.

Zheng Ming nodded and said, "Master Lu, you can arrange it. After the firearms factory is completed, let them start to study firearms. In a few days, this king will write a book about firearms and give you advice."

Although he doesn't know much about firearms, he definitely has more than these people. It's okay to make some suggestions, and the rest can only be tested slowly.

"The rest are medical skills?" Zheng Ming asked again.

Lu Shou explained: "His Royal Highness, there are no famous doctors in Shanhai County, these are already the best doctors in the county."

Zheng Ming thought about it and said, "After the hospital is completed, let them settle in as soon as possible, and find more apprentices for them."

Birth, old age, sickness and death are inseparable from doctors, but the profession of a doctor is somewhat difficult, especially Chinese medicine.

If you want to train a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner, you can't do it without more than ten years.

Zheng Ming didn't have much to do about it, he could only cultivate slowly.

"The officer understands." Lu Shou said.

Next, Zheng Ming went to the barracks of the City Guard Army. The barracks had not yet been built. Most of the soldiers of the City Guard Army had become laborers, training while working.

After looking around, Zheng Ming gave Gao Shun some advice before returning to the palace.

Now Shanhai County lacks everything except money. In Zheng Ming's view, Zhao, Song and Liu Sanjia are just a bunch of idiots. They are nothing but money.

I have saved so much money, but it's useless.

Shanhai County doesn't have any good things to buy, so I can only go to Beibian Prefecture to purchase. Every time I come and go, it is more than 100 miles of mountain roads, and I can't come back for seven or eight days.

The key roads are all mountain trails, and horses and carts cannot pass, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency is still scary.

If a road to Beibianfu can be opened up, no matter how poor Shanhai County is, it will not be so poor.

The three families of Zhao, Song and Liu never thought about building roads. Perhaps for them, the layers of mountains are their barriers.With the road, the people of Beibianfu entered Shanhai County, and they would lose their dominant position.

But Zheng Ming is different. He is the king of Shanhai County. With this status, he can do whatever he wants in Shanhai County.

So now Zheng Ming's most urgent thing is to open the channel with Beibianfu.

Unfortunately, it is really difficult to build a road in the mountains.
