, Weifang and Weihai are the main producing areas for the production of ceramic tiles and ceramics.

Unknowingly, Cheng Shijie established a furniture factory and seven kilns in Zuoqianhusuo to bake bricks, tiles and porcelain. There was also a military uniform factory, a salt factory, and now two small iron factories.

mine and a copper mine.

Although the production capacity of these factories is seriously insufficient, production capacity can be increased by adding more manpower.

While Cheng Shijie was watching Zhou Yandong report to him the construction progress of thousands of houses and barracks, Yang Yunniang was holding a teapot and pouring tea for Cheng Shijie and Zhou Yandong.

Zhou Yandong bowed and said: "Thank you madam!"

Yang Yuniang was stunned for a moment, then a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks. She glanced at Cheng Shijie and saw that he also had a smile on his face, and she felt even more embarrassed.

Although she was embarrassed and shy, she still lowered her head and reminded in a low voice: "Master Xie Shou... I am just a maid of the Cheng family."

"Well……"

Only then did Zhou Yandong realize that he had made a mistake, but the problem was, wasn't this the first time? In the past few times when Cheng Shijie was away, he sent the accounts to Qianhuzhai, also known as Mrs. Yang Yuniang, but Yang Yuniang did not remind him.

Zhou Yandong smiled at Cheng Shijie: "Lord Guard, I am lowering my rank..."

“He who doesn’t know is not guilty, and besides, it doesn’t matter!”

"I wonder if Mr. Cheng is single?"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said: "Cheng has already married a wife, but..."

It is a pity that he has sons and daughters in later generations, but the problem is that they cannot survive.

Zhou Yandong continued to report on his work, but Yang Yuniang felt Cheng Shijie's eyes looking at her. Her face turned redder, she did not dare to look at Cheng Shijie anymore, and turned around and ran to the inner room.

By the way, Cheng Shijie is now serving as the garrison of Ning Haijun, and the Dengzhou Guard Zuo Qianhu Post must be renamed.

Cheng Shijie's opinion was to be direct, simple and trouble-free, and call it Ninghai City.

Even though Ninghai Prefecture has a state government, it shares a city with Muping County. There seems to be no problem in calling it Ninghai City.

After arranging the factory and development plans, Cheng Shijie began to recruit soldiers, and based on his more than 500 servants, he prepared to expand the army.

Zuo Qianhu has more than 14,000 military households, plus the newly recruited 4,000 to 5,000 people, which is almost 20,000 people. Selecting 2,000 people out of 20,000 people can be regarded as one out of ten.

The task of selecting troops was left to Shen Mingyu.

Shen Mingyu first used a bamboo pole to stand on the school field. If he was not tall enough, he would be brushed off at the first level. Then he had endurance. Cheng Shijie's servants were treated well, and many people were willing to become his servants. The key is that they wanted to be Cheng Shijie's servants.

Soldier, it's really difficult.

Watching so many people being wiped out one after another.

A military householder lamented: "Is this recruiting soldiers? This is more difficult than choosing a son-in-law for a commander!"

"No, it's not that difficult for the commander to choose a son-in-law. I heard that the commander-in-law is the son-in-law. He's very handsome..."

All the soldiers felt the same way. It was really difficult to become Cheng Shijie's servant.

Cheng Shijie's principle is that it is better to lack than to overdo.
