Yin Sheng stood on the steps and looked out anxiously. There was another explosion in his ears, but this time it was much smaller than the previous one. He couldn't help it any longer, and quickly walked down the steps and walked out. He was met by a sprinting man.
Here comes the messenger.
"Have you found out where the noise came from?"
"It's Wushi Mountain outside the city. There's a lot of smoke and dust coming from there."
"Send someone quickly to investigate. Why is there such a phenomenon?" The sky was clear and white with not even a gray cloud. Such a loud noise was like a landslide.
This kind of vision is not a good sign.
The officer took a breath and said, "We have sent people there, but they were stopped before we even got close to the mountain. They were the envoy's personal soldiers. They were surrounded by people all around Wushi Mountain."
Yin Sheng was stunned. Where was Zhao Hanzhang? So it was Zhao Hanzhang who caused this vision?
What does she want to do?
No, how did this vision come about?
Today, people in the entire Luyang County were in a state of panic, especially the officials and knowledgeable people, who looked worriedly outside the city.
Then he waited for Zhao Hanzhang's other boot to fall.
What would she say?
Is there no way today?
Or is the King of East China Sea a treacherous man who wants to seduce the king?
Or is God so angry that she wants to take back the rest of Yuzhou?
Everyone thought a lot, and some people even started to prepare to leave Luyang County. Where would the Zheng family go to avoid disaster when they held a meeting? Zhao Hanzhang came back with his soldiers happily.
She didn't even go to Yin Sheng, but to the officials of the workshop, and ordered: "We blew up the Five Stone Mountain, and a lot of rubble came out. Isn't there a shortage of stone for building houses now? Send someone to get it."
He added: "It's hard work for the people to quarry stone, so I made gunpowder and specially quarried stone. Later, you choose some smart people and send them to the army, and let General Qiu teach them how to use it."
Note that Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan have already written it down and handed it to Qiu Wu, so that Qiu Wu can teach them as well.
After giving instructions, Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan went back to the backyard to take a bath and wash their hair.
Quarrying is really dirty, especially for hair.
Yin Sheng and others were stunned when they received the news, and then sent people to investigate Wushi Mountain. They saw that many stones surrounding Wushi Mountain had been blown out, and they were all broken into pieces. They collapsed, and...
...and it can be transported away with just one pull.
Some are very big, but they are also easy to quarry. Just pour hot water on it, find a spot and knock it, and the stone will break. They have always quarried like this, but now...
Zhao Hanzhang made such a big fuss just for quarrying?
Just to make the quarry people less hardworking?
After waiting for two days, they could vaguely hear some explosions every day, but they were no longer as panicked as they were at the beginning. After confirming that Zhao Hanzhang was really just quarrying for convenience, those who thought too much fell silent.
Yin Sheng and others remained silent, but Tian Jin, a local nobleman in Luyang County, sighed quietly, then called his son and grandson and others, and said to them: "I was not convinced before, Zhao Hanzhang was just a female, even though she
Even if you gain power for a while, it won't last long, so I don't want anyone in my clan to get involved, lest it cause trouble."
"But looking at it now, it may be difficult for her to last long, but with her benevolent heart, she will have no regrets even if she brings disaster in the end." Tian Jin said: "If you still want to serve, follow her.
Bar."
Tian Chen, who had always wanted to go to Runan County, heard this and immediately looked at his father Tian Qi, "Father, I am going to take part in this year's talent recruitment exam."
The younger Tian Ji immediately said: "I want to go too."
Tian Qi thought for a moment and looked at his second brother Tian Sheng aside. Seeing that he was also very moved, he said: "You go, second brother, you can go too, I will serve my father at home."
Tian Jin did not refuse and said to the three of them: "Now that you have decided, go and sign up tomorrow. The exam will be held in a few days."
The talent recruitment test was first conducted by each county and the country, and the best people were selected and sent to Chen County to take the test again. It was said that Zhao Hanzhang personally supervised the examination and set the questions in the Chen County examination room, and she had to meet these candidates one by one.
Tian Chen is very confident in himself and feels that he will definitely pass the exam. His second uncle Tian Sheng will also have no problem, and his younger brother Tian Ji...
Tian Chen reached out and patted Tian Ji's shoulder, "Go back and read quickly."
Tian Qi frowned when he heard this, "What's the use of temporary support?"
Tian Jin also shook his head, but did not stop his two grandsons and said to them: "Go down, you can start working hard from now on."
Zhao Hanzhang was also very concerned about the talent recruitment exam. She took the time to look through the roster and raised her eyebrows, "There are quite a few people who have signed up in the past two days."
Fan Ying said: "Perhaps after the Chinese New Year, talents from other counties are arriving one after another."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and asked, "Are there any women applying for the exam?"
"Yes," Fan Ying said, "but there are only two."
Zhao Hanzhang raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Something is better than nothing. You should pay attention to it. If you are really talented and virtuous, you will accept it."
Fan Ying bowed and responded: "Yes."
Zhao Hanzhang did not place the gunpowder mill in Nanyang State. After comprehensive consideration, she decided to place it in Chen County.
Yuzhou now has two political centers, one is Runan Xiping, and the other is Chen County.
Zhao Hanzhang is going back to Chen County. It is safest to keep this thing under his nose. The gunpowder can be prepared and then transported to the place.
Although it will increase the cost, the control of the opponent's pieces will also be stronger.
Zhao Hanzhang waited for the Nanyang Kingdom's county examination to end, and Wang Zhen and Zhao Erlang, who had gone out for inspection, also returned.
Zhao Erlang carried some evil spirits, and Zhao Hanzhang frequently received battle reports from him in Luyang County. He suppressed bandits along the way and made great contributions to the population growth of Nanyang Kingdom.
Just like this, the number of registered residents in Nanyang increased by more than 8,000.
Zhao Hanzhang was very satisfied with this. Seeing that although Wang Zhen had lost a lot of weight, he got along well with Zhao Erlang (Wang Zhen: which eye saw it?), so he safely handed over Nanyang Kingdom to Zhao Erlang.
Zhao Hanzhang called all the officials of the Nanyang County Governor's Office and announced that Zhao Erlang would succeed him as the governor of Nanyang County. Wang Zhen and Xie Shi were awarded the positions of chief historian and Sima to assist Zhao Erlang.
No one has an opinion.
Although Zhao Erlang did not know a few Chinese characters, and although they had not passed through the imperial court,... the concept of "family world" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yuzhou was Zhao Hanzhang's territory, and Nanyang Kingdom was conquered by her. Naturally, she would do whatever she said.
Officials who can't stand it will resign themselves.
There are really no people who have resigned.
Yin Sheng and others are not stupid either. Zhao Hanzhang specifically left Wang Zhen and Xie Shi behind, obviously just to help Zhao Erlang manage the Nanyang Kingdom. With the abilities of Wang Zhen and Xie Shi, they should be able to manage a Nanyang Kingdom well.
Wang Zhen, who had stayed with Zhao Erlang for a month, looked haggard and couldn't help but ask again, "Is your Majesty leaving now?"
Aren't you considering staying a little longer?
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have been away from Chen County for a long time, and it's time to go back."
Moreover, the recruitment examinations for various counties and counties are ending one after another, and the students who have passed will also go to Chen County, and she has to go back to take the exam.
Wang Zhen could only bid her farewell reluctantly.
Zhao Erlang was even more reluctant to give up. It was the first time for him to be such a big official. Although his sister said to listen to Wang Zhen and Xie Shi's advice, he was still a little panicked in his heart.
