After staring at the first "small iron and steel factory" in his hands for a long time, Zhao Chengcai led the crowd down the gate tower, and wandered directly in Wucheng.

The layout of Wucheng is the same as most cities, the closer to the center, the richer it is, and the closer to the city wall, the poorer it is.

And because Wucheng was once a trading city, the layout of the surrounding area is subtly different from the general city. There are many houses in it, although they are close to the edge of the city wall, they are very spacious.

This kind of house is used to store goods for the merchants who come and go.

However, that was all in the past.

Ever since Zhao Cheng took Wu City, there was another round of killings. These real estates that originally belonged to the rich families in the city were all taken over by Ying Tianjun.

And even if they did not offend the common people, 70% of the real estate in Wucheng belonged to the Yingtian army in this battle alone, which shows the wealth of the big family.

Of course, if these big clans had no second thoughts, Zhao Cheng would actually look down on this thing. A house is just a bit of earth and rocks. As long as there is someone in his hand, it will be like he is in the mountains, and a mansion can be built in an instant.

In the final analysis, the most precious resource in this world is population, not anything else.

After taking these houses, Zhao Cheng did not distribute them directly to the people, but turned them into workshops and schools.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng was walking on the street, and he could hear immature reading sounds or working sounds from the houses on both sides.

The sound of reading is the school, and the sound of working is the workshop, and neither the school nor the workshop is closed.

Zhao Cheng looked at the nearest workshop. In this workshop, many men are chipping wood bit by bit. These people are very raw and not dexterous at all. Even simple wood cutting is not very good. Masters, but most people are very attentive.

The reason is also simple. When Wu Cheng was still in Wu Qi's hands, all handicrafts were beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you want to learn, at least you have to work for the master for more than ten years before you can learn a few. Hands, some secrets, and they have to serve for a lifetime, and they may not be available to the master until the end of his life.

But now, learning this not only does not need to be a cow or a horse, but also has meritorious service.

Now in Wucheng, money is useless, Ying Tianjun's exploits are worth more than gold.

Whether it is exchanging food, or various daily necessities, or even getting the opportunity to sign up as a militia, you need to use meritorious service in exchange.

This matter has also made many people regret that they did not join the militia earlier, but now, if they want to join, they must either be brave enough to lift two hundred catties of boulders, follow a special sequence, or accumulate enough meritorious service .

As for the militiamen, they also regretted that Ying Tianjun had replenished personnel several times, but they missed them all.

Now if you want to go to the assessment to join the Yingtian Army, you must either go directly to the special sequence and join by force, or accumulate enough merits and pass the normal process of assessment.

People are undoubtedly the strangest thing. When the recruitment threshold for the Yingtian Army was very low, no one was willing to do so. Now that the threshold has been raised, many people want to get in.

Of course, this is not cheap, but the power of the system.

When a gap is formed with the system, a centripetal force will naturally be generated.

And the source of this power is profit.

Now that Wu Cheng is the world of Ying Tian Army, joining Ying Tian Army not only provides better treatment, but also ranks above ordinary people in terms of status. Under such circumstances, it is naturally very attractive.

As for Zhao Cheng, he also nodded when he saw this scene.

If the nobles in the city are still there, he will naturally be "popular grievances" if he does this kind of thing. It is guaranteed that a bunch of people who have been bribed by the wealthy will cause all kinds of sabotage in it, making his government orders impossible to operate at all.

But now, although many people are not used to the sudden change, they can feel that everything is getting better.

As for the school, Zhao Cheng didn't go to see it, but he knew that it was full of children.

In today's Wucheng, children over five years old can enter the school, and the school manages two meals. In this case, naturally no parents are unwilling.

However, each child can study for three years. After three years, if they can pass the assessment, they can continue to study. If they do not study well, it proves that they are not suitable for this job. They have to choose a craft and become an apprentice. Go study and support yourself.

It is also Zhao Cheng who has produced fertilizers now, and is not worried about the follow-up food problem, otherwise he would not dare to let so many people go out of production.

Zhao Chengcheng was like this, leading the crowd along the way, and listening to the movements on both sides.

Until the center of the city, there are also workshops and schools here, but the content taught there is completely different.

Among them, the workshop is where many craftsmen gather together, researching and discussing various things, and it looks like it is thriving.

These craftsmen are the most flexible group of craftsmen, so they gathered together for innovative research. Of course, Zhao Cheng is currently responsible for providing ideas. These people follow the ideas and study how to realize them.

Among them, the current research directions are mainly wooden carts for easy transportation, bows and crossbows used for war, and various agricultural tools, as well as the exploration of steam engines.

However, the steam engine is currently limited by the quality of steel and production capacity.

Regarding this, Zhao Cheng just listened outside for a while and did not go in, but he remembered a name called Lu Da.

This person is a native of Wucheng. Although he has not read any books, he has an imagination that is extremely rare in this era. He is a good seed.

Not far from the workshop is the school.

At this moment, there are also voices in the school, but they are not the voices reciting the text of the book, and the content is not the sages' articles, the strategy of governing the country.

It's about how to plant the land, how to plan the acres reasonably, how to encourage farmers to plant the land, and how to deal with disasters... and so on.

The schools in this place are not cultivating so-called scholars, but officials.

This place trains agricultural officials, or in other words, reserve agricultural officials.

In addition, there is also a school, which specializes in training officials in charge of local security, administrative planning, and local governance.

In the future, Zhao Cheng will rule the Southern Wilderness. As long as one land is conquered, these people will be able to take office directly, without any vacancy period.

Unlike in today's era, where a county magistrate holds all the power, which can be called a Bailihou, Zhao Cheng splits up the power. An official only does one thing and cannot enforce the law across the system.

Such splitting of rights is undoubtedly conducive to development and stability.

Otherwise, there will definitely be absurd things that the county magistrate who can't farm the land will instruct the farmers how to farm the land, and the county magistrate who can't build houses will instruct the craftsmen how to build houses.

And I also know that if you read well, you can become an official directly later, and you don't have to study sages' articles hard, as long as you specialize in one thing. , but more enthusiastically.

As for if someone speaks bad words, complains, and destroys this matter, it is undoubtedly giving credit to others.
