950th
The methods used by Ran Liang in Buhanla City soon achieved good results.
A large number of natives in the river defected to the command of King Pingxi of the Han Dynasty.
In terms of people's hearts, Ran Liang finally ushered in great progress.
On the other hand, in order to increase one's military strength.
Ran Liang began a series of actions.
A total of hundreds of acres of land outside Buhanla City was closely supervised by the guards of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion.
And the craftsmen who were personally recruited by King Pingxi were also busy here.
The more strictly regulated this piece of land, the more curious it will arouse everyone's curiosity.
It can be said that the people in the entire Buhanla City are very much looking forward to what is being built here.
They wanted to see what kind of treasure it was, and they had to take care of it so expensively.
Ran Liang's energy is now on this important matter.
In the Pingxi Palace.
The backyard of the royal mansion was originally a garden of flowers and birds, but now it is completely gone.
Instead, it is a busy workshop atmosphere.
A group of shirtless blacksmiths were waving hammerheads of all sizes and jingling.
This is a blacksmith's workshop that Ran Liang built day and night in order to expand his strength.
suddenly.
A blacksmith with a black skin, holding an iron stick in his hand, jogged towards Ran Liang excitedly.
"Master, you've beaten it out, you've beat it out!" The blacksmith raised the iron stick and reported the good news to Ran Liang.
Ran Liang was also happy when he heard this.
"Oh, show it to me!"
After Ran Liang said that, he took the iron stick.
It is said to be an iron stick, but when you look closely, it is a hollow iron pipe.
This iron pipe is about three feet long and has a diameter of about the same thickness as the fingers of an adult.
"No, not bad, I'll pass on my order. The craftsman who made this musket barrel will be promoted to two levels of working-class level and will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver!"
Ran Liang's words immediately made the craftsman in front of him excitedly grateful.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Okay, this is what you deserve. I have already said that in Buhanla City, the status of craftsmen is the same as that of soldiers. If you do well, you will not only receive rewards, but also advance to the working class!" Ran Liang said loudly.
The Western Regions have abundant coal, copper and iron resources. If you want to make good use of these resources, you must have excellent and sufficient craftsmen.
If it is based on the urinary nature of the previous order of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the craftsmen in the government are almost equivalent to semi-slaves.
Not to mention good treatment, even ordinary food and salary were severely deducted.
How could such a group of craftsmen who were about to go begging for food achieve Ran Liang's ambition to expand his handicraft industry?
Therefore, Ran Liang not only learned from the craftsman system of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains and improved the craftsman management, but also set up workshops in the backyard of the royal mansion to obtain workshop dynamics at any time.
“It’s so perfect!”
Ran Liang stroked the musket barrel in his hand and exclaimed.
"Zhang Laosan, let me ask you, according to the current craftsmanship, how many can this kind of musket barrel be produced in a day?" Ran Liang asked then.
"Your Majesty, there are wind drills built from the Central Plains. If you expand more, all the craftsmen can produce almost twenty ones a day!" said the craftsman named Zhang Laosan.
"Twenty? No, it's still too few!" Ran Liang shook his head.
