Chapter 80 Military Industry
After the matter was explained, it was considered completed. Zhu Houzhao's attention was no longer focused here. He had nothing to do when he was idle. He began to wander around with the people from the Military War Bureau. Of course, the prince Zhu Houzhao was
While wandering around, others were really working, looking for suitable places to build factories, and then many people went looking for coal and steel deposits.
Of course, the War and War Bureau has also begun to accept military craftsmen from Liaodong. You must know that there are also many military craftsmen in various armies.
These people are also craftsmen, and most of them are responsible for repairing and organizing ordnance, and also forging some relatively simple weapons, such as swords and guns. Of course, most of the time they become the personal servants of the generals, helping the generals.
They build some things, as the saying goes, they take on private jobs, such as the iron stoves that have become more popular in recent years.
The general in charge of the craftsmen's households would start a business. It was these craftsmen who made these iron stoves. The wages were definitely there, but just a little, pitiful.
The helpers are the military households. Anyway, you are idle when you are idle. In fact, many military households still want to take advantage of the winter when they are not farming to catch some game, or chop some firewood to sell to supplement their family income. But the fact is not like this, you
to work for the officers. In this way, these craftsmen and military households have completely become the personal resources of the generals.
This must be divested. There is no doubt that the first thing Zhu Houzhao did when he came to Liaodong was to separate the craftsmen.
The importance of professional military manufacturing to a country is self-evident. The land of Liaodong is naturally suitable for the development of military manufacturing, especially when transportation conditions are very poor. There is coal and iron ore here, and at the same time
It can also be used as a base for heading north, and once developed, it can also drive employment in Liaodong.
The only thing that needs to be worried about is that local military generals are prone to rebellion in the military manufacturing industry. This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao wants to separate the military industry. Independent operation can avoid this to the greatest extent.
Of course, nothing in this world is 100% safe, but you can’t stop eating because of choking. This is something you must do. As for rebellion, it should be the extreme decline of centralized power. Under such circumstances, even if
Without such a military industry, it would be the same rebellion, no difference. Who knows what the future will be like, so be prepared for the present.
When the craftsmen were stripped off and dispatched to the Liaodong War Bureau branch, there were naturally some people who were dissatisfied. Who were the dissatisfied people? Naturally, they were the generals.
These craftsmen are their source of wealth. Now that they are stripped out, wouldn't that cut off their financial path? Then the choice is here. What can you do? Ask His Highness the Crown Prince for advice? I'm sorry, you don't even have the Crown Prince.
If you don't see it, will you file a memorial to impeach the prince? Try it, maybe your head will be gone too before the capital reaches the capital.
Not satisfied? Hold on, or you can rebel and kill the prince. However, no one dares to do so. If you really do that, someone will probably chop off your head and take the credit.
While Zhu Houzhao was busy stripping off the craftsmen, news spread from other places in Liaodong that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to investigate the Guangning Guards. For a time, the entire Guangning Guards were in panic. Commander-in-Chief Han Fu could be said to be...
Worried, everyone came to him with only one purpose, and that was your idea. If something is really found out, wouldn't we all be doomed?
Han Fu kept comforting everyone at first, saying it's okay, it's okay, don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince won't care about you, but who dares to believe this!
At this time, I don’t know which bastard spread the rumor. Han Fu and the three deputy commanders are not a big problem, but who can say accurately about the people below? Suddenly everyone was even more confused, and they all ran to Han Fu. It's a shame to cry, Commander-in-Chief, you can't ignore us, and what's more, you even threaten us. If you ignore us, be careful, we will shake you out directly, and everyone will be finished together.
Han Fu was even bigger than him, but there was really no good way. Under such circumstances, he came alone.
"Sir, the great master is here!" The guard came to Han Fu's side, bowed and said.
The eldest brother is here? Han Fu was stunned, what is his eldest brother doing at this time? The eldest son is hereditary, and it should have been given to the eldest son, but Han Dong is not the legitimate son, so the position was given to Han Fu. The relationship between the two brothers is actually harmonious. , one is an official and the other is running a family business, the two parties can be said to hit it off, and the Han family has become a big family in recent years.
What is the elder brother doing here at this time? Han Fu was very anxious, but he still said: "Go and invite the elder brother in!"
Not long after, someone walked in from outside. Looking carefully, Han Dong and Han Fu were somewhat similar, but they were older than Han Fu. Although Han Fu was anxious when he saw his eldest brother, Han Fu felt anxious. Still trying to keep his tone as polite as possible, he forced out a smile: "Brother, why are you here? But what happened at home?"
Han Dong said with a smile: "Come here and see the second brother!" He looked around and it was clear that he was going to talk about something important, so let them stay away.
Han Fu was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The bodyguard standing not far away turned and walked out, calling for a few people to stand guard not far away.
After everyone had gone out, Han Dong said: "Brother, I came here today because I have something to discuss with you. This matter is related to the future of our Han family. If it is done well, it will not only be of great benefit to our Han family. , even for your second brother’s official career, it will be of great benefit. Once you do it well, maybe your second brother will be able to rise to prominence this time.”
Han Fu was stunned for a moment after hearing Han Dong's words, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother, I'm already very worried now. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
After listening to Han Fu's words, Han Dong immediately laughed: "Second brother, don't be anxious. If you do well at this time, the second brother's dilemma will naturally be solved in a moment." Han Dong's expression was very confident when he said this. Seeing Han Fu looking at him curiously, Han Dong continued: "Second brother, you also know about the business at home. You should also know about Qi Qi Zhai, right?"
Han Fu nodded, and then said: "What does this have to do with this matter?"
