Boom! Boom!

The capital was awakened by a rumbling sound in the early morning. Many busy people got up from their beds, while those who got up early had expressionless faces and turned a blind eye to the sound. At the tea stall at the gate of the city, people waiting to enter the city sat

Drinking tea here and listening to the sounds outside, someone asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

The speaker was a thin man in his thirties. He looked around in confusion and found that no one was paying attention. He couldn't help but speak in a much lower tone.

Opposite the man was an old man in his fifties. Hearing the young man's words, he smiled and said: "What else could it be? Students from the martial arts academy are running. They started three years ago. I was scared at the beginning."

Everyone jumped, now everyone has long been used to it." The old man pointed to the open shop not far away, and continued with a smile: "Now the merchants have developed a habit of getting up and opening the door when they hear the sound of running."

"The students from the martial arts academy run very punctually. They come here at this time every day, no matter how early or late they are. When they run over, the city gate opens."

The young man nodded, and then said with a smile: "Students of the Wuyuan Academy! I know this, I have heard about it a long time ago. It is said that many ministers have written letters, requesting that the assessment qualifications of the Wuyuan Academy be released. It is not Enyin or

I want everyone to be able to take the exam as a noble disciple, and the government and the government have been discussing it, but there seems to be no result."

This topic seemed to attract the attention of others. A bearded man carrying a bag said at the side: "It's all nonsense. It's impossible to let go. If you want your son to enter the martial arts academy, you should join the army."

Right! His Royal Highness the Emperor’s Black Dragon Army expanded its enrollment last year, and it was almost overcrowded. I even failed the initial inspection.”

The bearded man's words immediately aroused everyone's interest. The young man quickly said with a smile: "I heard that the treatment of the Black Dragon Army is very good!"

Hearing this, the bearded man curled his lips: "Isn't that very good, but very good, a salary of two taels of silver a month, and a reward for meritorious service. If you chop off a Tatar's head, you will be rewarded with forty taels of silver.

I made a lot of money. Those who died in the war received a pension of eighty taels. Many people want to tuck their heads in their belts and do it."

"Do you know the most important thing? The Black Dragon Army eats well. They have three meals a day, including eggs and meat. Not to mention other things, Huangzhuang has been unable to raise pigs and chickens in recent years."

"Black Dragon Army's purchasing department buys chickens and pigs everywhere. Last year, Black Dragon Army's purchasing department was forced to have no choice. They gave money to farmers to buy piglets and chickens for them to raise. When they were raised, Black Dragon Army was responsible for buying them back. Those farmers

Now I’ve made a lot of money. I didn’t catch up. I have a relative who was originally a tenant, but was dragged by the Black Dragon Army to raise pigs.”

"I raised more than seventy animals a year and earned more than ten taels of silver. It is said that I will buy a house in the west. Gee, the price of meat in the capital has been made expensive by the Black Dragon Army. They eat meat every day, and they are not tired of it.

Gotta panic."

His tone was full of envy and jealousy.

After everyone heard this, they immediately sighed, obviously envious. At this time, a group of people passed by not far away, all wearing the same clothes. The bearded man said with a smile: "See, over there.

They are all workers in the steel factory. In the past, no one wanted to go, but now if they want to go, there is no way to get in."

The young man turned his head and looked over, and found that those people were all wearing gray clothes. It was strange, and there was "Steel Mill" written on the back. He couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Those people are craftsmen?"

"That's the craftsman!" The bearded man said with envy: "The craftsman in the steel mill, the craftsman who does ordinary work, earns one tael of silver a month, takes care of the food, and gets bonuses for the more he does. Which of those great craftsmen?

It’s not just tens or even hundreds of taels. Tsk tsk, it’s really enviable. When we were looking for craftsmen three years ago, no one came, and now I can’t even go if I want to.”

The young man became interested and asked with a smile: "Recruiting craftsmen? Do the craftsmen in the imperial court still need to recruit craftsmen?"

"You don't know this, right?" The bearded man took a sip of tea and said proudly: "The steelmaking plant is run by His Highness the Crown Prince. Steel is made to make equipment for the Black Dragon Army. His Highness the Crown Prince looked down on the previous equipment. Jingying

All the eliminated equipment has been sent to the border town, and all the equipment used by the Black Dragon Army is new, tsk tsk, it’s amazing.”

"How many weapons will we need?" The young man sighed and said, "How much steel will we need?"

The bearded man clapped his hands and said: "Let's go! So there are not enough craftsmen. His Royal Highness the Prince transferred all the people from the Military Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of Works, but it was still not enough, so he recruited external craftsmen. These craftsmen and the original craftsmen were

But it's different. The original craftsman could work for a lifetime and let his son take over. Those who were hired later were all under contract."

"It's a three-year contract. If you don't do well, you'll have to leave. You'll get one tael of silver per month. How many people were there at that time? It's a pity that we don't have that skill!"

The young man suddenly yearned for it.

The bearded man saw the young man's appearance and said with a smile: "Seeing as you are not old, you can go to the accountant's examination. The wages paid by the bank are higher. The wages of an accountant are only five taels. It is illegal to earn money."

"

The young man smiled but said nothing.

At this time, the city gate was opened and everyone hurried into the city. The young people looked at the large group of people waiting to enter the city and swarmed in. They couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been to the capital in four years. This change is really true."

It’s big!”

The old man next to the young man smiled and said: "The big changes are not just in the city!" After saying this, the old man looked at the young man with meaning.

"Yes!" The young man nodded and said with emotion: "Five years in the northwest have washed away all the glitz. I am no longer the same person I was five years ago. Thinking about that time, I was really crazy.

After going through some things, I realized that life is not easy. Five years ago, I never imagined that I would actually stab someone with a knife."

"Bohu!" The old man called the young man affectionately, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince begged for your favor and sent you to the northwest to guard the border. It was obviously with the intention of training you. Five years have passed.

His Highness the Crown Prince is very pleased to see you."

Tang Bohu turned to look at the old man and asked with a smile: "Uncle Liao, for four years, I have been asking, who are you? Does the shopkeeper of Qi Qi Zhai know so many things? I don't believe it. But.

No matter who you are, Tang Yin has been cared for by you in the past four years. Without you, I might have died in the northwest."

"Tang Yinming feels helpless for this kindness and will never forget it for the rest of his life!" Tang Bohu said, bowing to Liao Yuan.
