After the canned seafood was transported back, various workshops were immediately built in the coastal areas.

Nowadays, let alone ordinary grains, even ordinary meat is not valuable. Only new delicious and nutritious foods like canned seafood can have a high profit.

After land prices have been continuously suppressed, having a beach and the sea may be a good family business to pass down.

Fang Zhao has been very worried recently. Every time he sees his junior fellow apprentice, there is always a malicious expression on his face. This guy is really annoying. He has only studied with the teacher for three months, but his math level has caught up with his own.

If it weren't for the delay with literacy, the teacher might have given him special lessons. Now when the teacher teaches mathematics, he explains them together. Only literature is explained separately.

Wang Zhen patted Fang Zhao's little head and said with a smile, "Don't look at your junior brother like that. Although he didn't go to school before, he also uses arithmetic in his daily life, so he will naturally learn faster. Besides, with your original arithmetic level, it should only take two or three months."

Fang Numa sighed, "But it took me several years to reach that level. Am I really that bad?"

Anyway, Li Zhi didn't have to spend a penny, only a bunch of blank documents, but in the end he got four large tracts of maturely developed land. It was such a cost-effective deal, no matter how much he took, he would not lose.

“But I also work very hard.”

Wang Zhen has now assumed the position of the chief commander of the military route. Bao'an County was initially used as the seat of the prefecture, and is now the headquarters of the military route. However, it only has 500 soldiers, and all the others have been dispatched by Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen sighed and said, "I'm not blaming you. Business management is a profound subject. It's understandable to study it after school. After all, people live in groups, and there's no harm in communicating with others more.

When it comes to studying, just do your best and don't force yourself. Your junior uncle was very naughty when he was young, and it was not until he was as old as you that he started to focus on studying. As a result, he caught up with us in just two years.

The inland areas specialize in various agricultural products, while the coastal areas specialize in various seafood. In this era, a county actually has only more than 10,000 households. With the current situation, if ten counties are divided, it will become a large county in a few years.

“The qualifications are indeed a bit poor.” Seeing Fang Zhao looking at him with resentment, Wang Zhen grinned and said, “I’m just kidding.

Fang Zhao thought for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Wang Zhenshen, "Master, you are blaming me. I know I was wrong."

Since the method of making canned seafood spread, the coastal areas developed very rapidly. Wang Zhen had to speed up the division of counties. For example, the two counties of Haifeng and Boluo in the west were divided by Wang Zhen into five inner counties and five outer counties, which were all under the jurisdiction of Huizhou.

Zhang Gou waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother, you don't have to be like this. I don't take it to heart. In the past few months, you have been guiding me all the time. I am grateful to you. How can I keep a record of such a small matter in my heart?"

The reason why it took you so long in the past was, firstly, that you were delayed in learning literature, and also because you were young, your mind was not open, and you didn’t have a famous teacher to guide you. So if you are a little slower, it’s no big deal. Just work harder in the future.

Wang Zhen nodded and said with a smile, "It's good that you have figured it out. Besides, you are determined to go into politics and want to restore the former glory of your Fang family, while your junior brother will most likely go to sea. Not only will there be no competition of interests between you two, but you can complement each other. Therefore, there is no need for you to regard your junior brother as your opponent."

The coast of Lingnan is mountainous, but since it is along the coast, there are naturally many rivers. Therefore, Wang Zhen’s method of training soldiers is to train them according to the Marine Corps, and the method naturally comes from Wang Zheng.

"But you have ulterior motives." Wang Zhen looked at Fang Zhao with a half-smile and asked, "You and your family have made a lot of money in the past few months, right?"

However, since you have divided your time, it is normal for your learning progress to be slower. How can you complain that your junior is progressing faster than you?"

Fang Zhao felt a little embarrassed when Wang Zhen looked at him, and he lowered his head and said shyly, "I don't have much money, it's just enough for living expenses."

"Thank you for your teachings, sir. I understand." Fang Zhao bowed to Wang Zhen again, and then bowed to Zhang Gou, "I am a little petty, I hope you will forgive me."

Rather, it was a position. In addition to a large number of blank appointment letters for county magistrates and a few provincial governors, there was also an appointment letter for the chief military governor. As for when Wang Zhen and others would take up their posts, it was up to them to decide.

As compensation for not being able to enter the court, and in addition to his expectations for the four major border areas, Li Zhi's support for Wang Zhen and others was very strong. Naturally, it was not expressed in terms of money or other materials. After all, everyone knew that the Yuzhou people did not care about money.

The guard force of each county was composed of ten Ba soldiers leading a hundred Lao soldiers, while the provincial capital had ten times the guard force.

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, today's lesson is over. Let's go to the military camp now. I don't know how the Lao soldiers are training. The northward march is already decided, and it's okay if the soldiers are not available. Besides, the counties in Lingnan also need to send soldiers to prevent accidents."

Even though the guard forces of the newly-established prefectures and counties have been reduced as much as possible, Wang Zhen only has 500 Ba soldiers left today, so he attaches so much importance to the newly-trained Lao soldiers.

It’s not that Wang Zhen doesn’t want to train more soldiers. The imperial court would not interfere with such a small army. It’s just that young and strong men have always been in short supply in Bao’an County. The current 10,000 soldiers, and the more than 20,000 that have been sent out, have already been criticized by the workshop owners in Bao’an County.

Those guys always came to Wang Zhen to complain from time to time: All the people have entered the workshops, and everyone is busy making money, so how can there be people causing trouble? It is enough to have a few people to maintain order in a county, and with the addition of 3,000 Ba soldiers to defend the outside, there will be no big problems.

Training soldiers is a sheer waste of manpower. If we send those people to the workshops, how much stuff will they produce to make money? Now as long as the things from Lingnan are shipped back, it will be money directly. Training soldiers is a waste of money.

Wang Zhen doesn't bother to pay attention to those who are only interested in money. If something goes wrong, those guys won't take any responsibility.
