"Ah?"
"Your Highness, they're just a bunch of refugees. Why do you have to treat them so ceremoniously?" Guo Ming asked with some hesitation.”
"What do you know!"
Zhu Zhi kicked him and cursed,"How are they f * cking refugees? This is Liaodong's gold mine! No, no, these people were worth more than gold mines!”
What the gold mine dug out was gold, and what these people dug out was the industrial framework of Liaodong in the future!
……
The refugees were quickly settled down. They did not cause any trouble and just quietly accepted the arrangements of the Liao King's residence.
Zhu Zhi personally came to visit the 800 refugees who had just arrived at the camp.
Guo Ming, who was settling the refugees, saw Zhu Zhi and quickly ran over.""Your Highness, your status is so high, why did you come personally to see these refugees? Leave these small matters to me…"
Before he could finish, Zhu Zhi asked loudly,"Who is the leader?"
The refugees collectively looked at one person, and that person slowly stood up."Your Highness, I am."
"What's your name?" Zhu Zhi asked.
"I'm Ji Chuan," the man replied.”
Zhu Zhi nodded slightly." Very good. Come over. This king has something to tell you."”
……
Zhu Zhi walked in front while Ji Chuan followed closely behind.
"Where are you guys from?" Zhu Zhi asked.
"Your Highness, most of us came from Jin. We were all craftsmen in the local area. We heard of your majesty's fame, so we joined forces to seek refuge. However, the journey was difficult, and we seemed to have been treated as refugees…"
Zhu Zhi was stunned. Blacksmith?
The craftsmen collectively defected?
Was this scientific?
" System, what's going on?" Zhu Zhi asked the system in his heart.
The system replied in his heart,[Talents obtained from system missions or system stores have a loyalty level of 60 to the host. They are considered to be at the worship level. They will unanimously approach the host.]”
"After the host accepts them, their loyalty to the host will increase to 100. Even if the host asks them to commit suicide together, they will not hesitate to do so.”
It was ridiculous!
Loyalty 100?
"This Prince intends to establish a Liaodong Construction Division. You will be the highest ranking official, the Construction Envoy. What do you think?”Zhu Zhi said," But let me make it clear first. The Construction Division has no rank. It can only be considered an independent department under the Liao King's residence. It doesn't belong to the official department of the imperial court."”
Zhu Zhi wanted to turn Liaodong into a world-class industrial center, so the industrial jurisdiction department was indispensable.
The Construction Division that he planned to set up was the future industrial jurisdiction department, which was also a replica of the Ministry of Works, one of the six departments.
Zhu Zhi could set up a private organization, but he couldn't set up a rank for the Construction Division.
This was because the Construction Division needed to report to the imperial court and obtain Old Zhu's approval before they could set up a grade.
This way, the Construction Division would be exposed.
This was not in line with Zhu Zhi's original intention. After all, Old Zhu had not passed away yet. His plan could only be carried out in black or gray areas. Once it was too big, it would easily arouse the vigilance of the imperial court.
However, the imperial court sent someone to take a look and said,"Oh my, your Liao King has set up so many things privately. You set up an arsenal and a construction department. You've set up a small imperial court in Liaodong!" Are you trying to rebel?
Although Old Zhu did not have many years left to live, Zhu Zhi did not want to stir up a big mess before Old Zhu passed away.
After all, who knew if Zhu Yuanzhang would try to trade with him?
Although Zhu Zhi now had 200,000 Liaodong troops, if he wanted to fight Old Zhu to the death, then forget it.
Wouldn't it be nice to wait until Jianwen ascended the throne?
Must he fight Emperor Hong Wu head-on?
After all, these two dungeons were not on the same level. Jianwen dungeon was a "one-star simplified version" while Hongwu dungeon was a "ten-star hell nightmare version".
If Old Zhu's life was written into a book, the title would be " Opening with a bowl, I became Emperor Hongwu!》
"I have no objections. I will listen to your orders.”
Ji Chuan cupped his hands and bowed.”
"Yes, alright."
Zhu Zhi said with satisfaction,"Next, I will start to establish the Liaodong Construction Division. Don't disappoint me."”
"This subject will not disappoint your highness!”
……
The establishment of the Liaodong Construction Division was very smooth. Because there was no need to report to the court, this department was quickly established.
However, everything would not be smooth sailing. The Construction Division was currently stuck.
Zhu Zhi walked to the temporary camp of the Construction Division and found Ji Chuan. He frowned and asked,""What trouble?"
"Isn't Your Highness planning to build a steel mill?" Ji Chuan hesitated for a moment.”
"Yes, is there a problem?"
The steel mill's blueprints and Napoleon cannon's blueprints were handed over to Ji Chuan, who was a professional. These 800 technicians had 100 loyalty to Zhu Zhi, so they didn't have to worry about leaking the secrets.
However, they had just started construction and had already encountered a problem.
"Your Highness, we don't have enough funds."
