Chapter 185: Standing Alone with Unwavering Faith (Fourth Update)

  What really shocked Zhang Fangping was yet to come.

  When Zhao Xi finished the entire copper mine's manuscript, Zhang Fangping read it carefully and also recognized the extraordinaryness of the Crown Prince due to his carefulness.

  This is not a mining point at all, but a city, and it's a well-organized and orderly metropolis with clear division of labor.

  Many things in this city, even Zhang Fangping is a newcomer, many plans of this city have inspired Zhang Fangping greatly.

  Zhao Xi is purely a transplant of the kind of industrial and mining enterprises that came later.

  From industrial zones, residential areas, living quarters, green spaces, commercial districts and so on.

  Zhao Xi also added many rules that do not exist at present to the rural regulations... it's a bit of a pity. However, only such an uncultivated land can be like a blank sheet of paper for painting, allowing Zhao Xi to outline the city in his heart.

  "What is this?"

  Zhang Fangping looked at the two lines, which extended from the city wall all the way to the ferry terminal, and was perplexed.

  "The track. The mine is in the mountain, and people carry it on their backs, which takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, Xi set up this track, with rough stones as the base, connected by square wood, and built a special cart that can be pulled by multiple horses to increase the amount and speed of transporting ore."

  The southwest is not short of tall trees that reach the sky, and the mountains are even more lacking in stone blocks. Using local materials should not waste money.

  Actually, Zhao Xi was thinking of the iron rails of the Gongzi Steel... It's impossible now.

  "What is this again?"

  "Let's call it Longmen for now, and also the tower pulley. These two things are placed at the ferry terminal, equipped with tracks, which can change the situation where human power is not enough."

  "Is there physical evidence? Can it be verified in Xuzhou?"

  "Xī zhèng yǒu cǐ yì."

  Translation: "Dawn is just like this."

  Zhao Xi was still thinking about how to communicate this matter with Zhang Fangping.

  Not all officials in the Qing dynasty were Su Cong, and not all craftsmen nowadays are master craftsmen.

  Zhao Xi fiddled with these things, Su Song casually listened to a sentence, and he could make the model. And when the master of the workshop was young, Zhao Xi drew a picture, even if the picture was crooked, he could still make the object exquisitely.

  It can be done on Chengdu Road, in Rongzhou, and finally in Dongchuan County, where there is no hair, Zhao Xi really doesn't know if his idea can be realized.

  It's rare for Zhang Fangping to be so enthusiastic... It's also true that Zhang Fangping understands that the Crown Prince can't stay in Chengdu for long, and many things about the Dongchuan copper mine will eventually fall on his shoulders.

  So, there are some fresh things, he still hopes to really experience them.

  There are existing ferry terminals in Rongzhou, but they have all been formed and are still random and disorderly.

  Because this is a trial, Zhang Fangping has not seen the actual object and does not have the courage to directly dismantle and renovate the ferry terminal.

  So, they chose a place where a ferry could be built and rebuilt a new ferry terminal there.

  The country is not short of people, and the government will not be short of people either. Whether it's the labor of the common people or the support of those soldiers, with Zhang Fangping's one order, the entire labor began.

  Xiang Jun... Zhao Xi suddenly remembered this group of people.

  How to say, in a sense, this is a freak, or a freak that drags the whole country behind.

  Zhao Xi was originally worried about the copper mine workers, but after seeing Xiang Jun, he thought it might be possible.

  This was originally a group of refugees after one disaster after another, and it was the national policy of the Qing dynasty that led to the support of this very abnormal group.

  This group of people is considered a pest by civil officials and useless by military generals, almost completely useless.

  It seems that the entire army is quite resigned to their fate, being called a "bandit army" by others. They don't seem to feel that their dignity has been hurt, or perhaps they can endure even more humiliation, and still be willing to do so with a positive attitude.

  Zhao Xi never thought that people were born useless, everyone is the same.

  It is human nature to improve quality of life.

  The reason why Xiang Jun has fallen to this point is the general trend, the environment, and a helpless recognition of fate.

  "Is the army being converted into civilians? Or are they still under the control of the imperial court in all military prefectures? Your Highness..."

  Duoguo was busy with work, and neither Zhao Xi nor Zhang Fangping could stare at it all day. So, Zhao Xi made some rules for the copper mine workers.

  From recruitment to daily management, including salary treatment and so on, a very detailed plan was made.

  Just then Zhang Fangping read a general provision and asked questions.

  Can't you have any doubts? The Xiaojun is what, the national dynasty has no one who doesn't know and no one who hasn't heard of it. Even if you casually ask someone on the street, they will clearly know what Xiaojun is... That's just a servant of the military head, some idle people running errands.

  For the imperial court, this was also a major source of waste. Every year, the imperial court's money and grain for the frontier army fattened the military leaders, but in name, it was an expenditure for the frontier army.

  Zhang Fangping asked this question not because he thought the troops couldn't be used in this way, but because he was worried that a good copper mine would be messed up by a group of useless people.

  "Scholar, look again..."

  If you want people to cherish their jobs and work hard, they need to be given a basis for cherishing them.

  Half of the military's salary, but still supporting their families, and from time to time doing free labor for the military leaders.

  Even when serving as a local governor's attendant, he had never been rewarded.

  It's already not easy for them to survive, let alone have high expectations.

  A warehouse is full and knows etiquette. No one is born to be lazy and unmotivated, the environment determines the kind of life you will have.

  Zhao Xi is now just providing an opportunity for those who have not completely extinguished their pursuit to set an example, thus awakening the entire group and laying a foundation for some of his future actions.

  After watching, Zhang Fangping saw not only the changes in Xiang Jun after becoming a miner, but also the deep meaning of the Crown Prince.

  "Is it true?"

  Uncertain, Zhang Fangping always felt that the Crown Prince's inner world was vast and unpredictable, and he didn't know whether what he saw and thought could really find the prince's purpose.

  "I mean it."

  "Your Highness, with such a salary, not to mention the imperial guards, even the palace guards would flock to it. Fang Ping doesn't know why Your Highness is so confident in the profits of this copper mine, but with such expenses, Fang Ping worries that it will ultimately drag down the copper mine."

  His Royal Highness's approach has indeed provided a solution to address the three redundancies of the national dynasty.

  The importance of copper mines is overestimated compared to three other minerals.

  Zhang Fangping was worried that the prince's strategy would be another makeshift measure of dismantling the east wall to make up for the west wall, and might even lead to the copper mine being emptied in the end.

  As for the deeper plans of His Highness the Crown Prince, they will also be stillborn as a result.

  "The scholar said: The reason for this is not to arbitrarily choose a military state or transfer registration, but rather to clearly announce all military states from the imperial court, and the measure is to select carefully."

  Zhao Xi wants to set an example, of course, can't really take in some miscellaneous things. This is a try, and it's also a means, the purpose is to let the whole mixed eating and dying army have a thought, so that they can have even a little bit of progress.

  Copper mining is just the beginning, and copper's role is not limited to coinage alone.

  In recent years, Su Song has made many attempts in the Guardian Camp, but due to the current lack of copper, he had to temporarily put them on hold.

  Once the whole plan is unfolded, no one can predict what kind of prospects it will be.
