Chapter 387: The brocade is prosperous, and the flaming oil cooker wants to wear it

The prefectures and prefectures of each prefecture have made a promise to strictly follow the planning of the Administrators and Commissioners to ensure the coordinated operation of this task...

After this meeting, the prefectures and prefectures instantly ushered in the first wave of household registration registration, and countless "unregistered people" rushed towards their hometowns frantically.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Revenue came here to deal with this problem. People were registered in the capital, and the victims had experience.

So under their command, all registrations were safe.

In fact, this is also related to the situation in the Ming Dynasty. After all, if it is not the gentry and businessmen who lead the trouble, everyone is still very honest.

With just five days of statistics, the total household registration number instantly increased by more than 60,000!

The governor Zhang Xuanying was so excited that his mouth was trembling, and the censor Zhao Lifu was not going well.

When the two old guys first read through this household registration booklet, they were trembling.

This is simply terrifying, it’s only been five days! It’s even more than 50,000 people added at once!

So how many fugitives and hidden households are there in northern Guangdong? And those who dare not register?!

The evacuated households and the hidden households ran to the government to register. The problem brought about was that the gentry and wealthy merchants suddenly found that there were fewer people who could control them at will!

I don’t know where the news came, saying that corvee labor will be cancelled in northern Guangdong.

After this news was spread, more people ran to register. In the next few days, the number of people reported by the state government every day was as high as 10,000!

The gentry and businessmen were furious and wanted the governor to come out to explain that the corvee service was not abolished.

However, Zhang Xuanying is not a fool, so he hummed and said that he didn't know how to fool him.

But in private, when "inspecting the people's conditions", he hinted to some small vendors and the "unregistered people" who came to register that there was something wrong.

The magistrates, prefects, and county magistrates below are also doing their best to cooperate. Why?!

Because the Ministry of Personnel’s merit exam is coming, this is a great achievement!

Didn’t listen to the advisor and the censor at the meeting? If you do it well this time, you can get the official position and get promoted!

Everyone was in a state of great enthusiasm, and those colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue who came to help also talked about this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

What are you studying hard in the exam room?!

After all, who has passed the imperial examination and has never thought of showing his ambitions in the official career?!

But the reality made them fall into trouble. After all, this is really not enough to govern the world by reading the books of sages.

After truly visiting the prefectures and counties, they will understand after feeling the warm greetings of the local "gentlemen and wealthy merchants".

This official, it’s actually not easy to be a good official!

It can even be said that anyone who can make a little political achievements and official voice is definitely the best among the best.

Most of the young men were beaten up by the gentry and wealthy families as soon as they went down. Only then did they understand who the Ming Dynasty was actually.

However, now there are the governors and the Censors to support them, and these magistrates, prefects, and counties who have been suppressed for many years have exploded collectively!

Therefore, this man worked tirelessly to comfort him in the yamen, and also deliberately or unintentionally contributed to the matter of exempting corvee labor.

The local gentry and wealthy families were gritting their teeth, but they could do nothing.

This caused the gentry and wealthy families to hate Mr. Zhang, and Dai Yi once asked Mr. Zhang to be more vigilant after he came back.

It was also from that day that Miss Miaoan began to wear armor all over her body, and the Ashikari Crane was also a knife that kept her away.

"Mining has raised 30,000 young and strong men, and the masters are selecting..."

Butler Xiao Zhou whispered to Mr. Zhang: "The carriage still needs to be purchased, and the dam of the Zhongyi Township Casting Branch also needs to be built..."

"The forging hammers, crucibles, molds required for the new casting branch... have arrived in batches and are being transferred to Zhongyi Township."

"The silt of waterways and rivers still requires manpower to clear the dredging. If this project is to be completed within more than a month, at least 20,000 people will be invested..."

One by one, one by one, is a job of burning money, but...

The gentry and businessmen in northern Guangdong are all good people, but Butler Xiao Zhou sighed in his heart.

Those millions of taels are of great use, and even the money brought by people from various families in the capital has not been used yet.

"The farm tools and pots you ordered to make the foundry branch last time have been sent out by the navy..."

The young master never uses people in vain, so even the navy is no exception.

The navy helped to transport people, food and fodder, and Mr. Zhang kept their accounts at the market price.

But this will not be given money, but will be converted into items.

The people who transported all the staff of the Ordnance Construction Bureau were all the guys, so the money was naturally recorded in the Ordnance Construction Bureau.

What is deducted is the fist product of the foundry branch - iron pot!

After all, this Foshan iron pot is a good thing to export. Now all the craftsmen are in the foundry branch.

If this good cause is not carried forward, Mr. Zhang would kill Butler Xiao Zhou to death.

The casting branch now first sorts the pot and then takes out the prescription to polish the process together.

Originally, each company had its own secret recipes and had its own strengths, but it would be boring to hide this little gadget in front of the foundry branch and other masters.

I have to say that there is no reason why Foshan iron pot can be made. None of these old blacksmiths are slight.

With the participation of the master craftsmen of the foundry branch, everyone took out their secret recipe and tried it a few more times.

Soon, the iron pot cast by the new method is more than better than their original ones!

More importantly, the cost has been reduced by a lot. It was originally a ten-pot pot worth about five cents of silver.

Now about three cents of steel can be cast, even better than before!

Then they began to plan the types of pots: printing pots, carrying pots, ear pots, etc., and each type has four models: A, B, C, and D.

All craftsmen unified the craftsmanship, and all pots were written on them with the words "Made in Hongzhi, the 14th year of the Guangdong North Foundry Branch of the Ordnance Bureau."

The pot is made more exquisite and more beautiful and durable, but the price is reduced due to the cost.

Originally, it was seven cents and five cents for ten pots, but now it can be bought for six cents.

Thousands of households, hundreds of households and soldiers at all levels of the Navy were the first beneficiaries.

But the one who earned the most was not them, but the nobles who were the general agents of the capital and the Dongjishi Factory, which was the agents of the Jiangnan region.

New pots are now very popular in various places, and they have reached a point where supply is in short supply. The first batch of 30,000 pots in the capital were sold out in just five days...

All companies in Foshan found that this actually made much more money than they used to be!

Because every time they create a qualified pot, they can obtain the corresponding proportion of "cast silver".

Each pot has its own number, and if it fails, the silver will be deducted.

After all, we can get nearly ten taels per month, even if we are apprentices, we can get two or three taels.

Everyone was very energetic, gritting their teeth and looking forward to building the foundry branch to make a lot of money!

At the same time, there is also the general agent of Yizhou, Mr. Qian Nengqian, who also customized a large number of tillage tools to go to Yizhou.

The masters of the Ordnance Construction Bureau in the capital were also sent to Yizhou.

After the on-site inspection, we drew the drawings according to the situation, so that the capital would create more mining tools to send to Yizhou...

The whole northern Guangdong looks very popular and seems to be about to leaps into the sky.

However, under this heat, the gentry from all over northern Guangdong gave birth to children and servants, who kept leaving their homes at night.

Some disappeared for several days, and some even evaporated directly from the world.

No one knows where they went and what they were doing, and the counterfeits everywhere seem to have been shrinking recently.

The passing vendors were most sensitive to this. In the past, everyone walked together.

There will always be a few evil thieves, mountain bandits and bandits on the road, and at this time they will take out their guys and prepare.

If the other party just asks for some money, just give it.

If the other party intends to kill him for money, he will have to fight.

But recently, these evil bandits seemed to have disappeared overnight and never encountered them again.

The damage to the ordnance in the garrison began to increase, and many thousands of households reported that the ordnance was too old to be used for daily practice.
