Quan Yutianxia GL

Due to the previous war and panic in the county, coupled with the secret instigation of the Xiao Duan family, many rich and powerful families in the county began to sell their properties and prepare to move collectively.

But under the pressure of Chuning, except for some who had a deep collusion with the Xiao Duan family, the rest were not willing to take the huge loss now to gain the invisible wealth, and they all fell silent and waited and watched in secret. .

In just two or three days, more than [-] rich and powerful families in the county exchanged their properties for cash, and even the servants rarely took away, so they left in a hurry with the guides sent by Xiao Duan's family. go.

With the departure of this group of people, the reputation of Chu Ning's domineering also spread. Those strong men and their relatives who were left behind hated Chuning to the bone. Next, although they are under pressure and exploitation, they are a bit more secure than these ordinary people who have no one to shelter them.

However, Chuning didn't have time to pay attention to these rumors. After dealing with the wealthy households who moved away, she and the county elders immediately called the county's patriarch, Xiang Lao Lizheng, to hold a grand military funeral During the ceremony, he personally sent the spirit tablets of the two hundred and four soldiers who died in this battle to the Hall of Valor.

After the military burial, Chu Ning personally handed out the post-war rewards, and Huo Yunshu also personally arranged for the relatives of the fallen soldiers, and gave each relative of the soldiers a hut and five copper coins. Hectares of fertile land.

It is a long-standing practice to send huts and copper coins to the relatives of those who died in war. This compensation, even those who died in the war before, were also compensated and distributed.

Immediately, the elders of the clan who came to watch the ceremony all stared blankly, and whispered to their acquaintances one after another, secretly thinking that Captain Chu is so generous that he is a prodigal, and they have also heard people say that in ancient times, he loved the people like a son The emperor's official, that is, the current Great General Gu Wenxiong who conquered the South, also has a good reputation for loving soldiers like sons, but he has never heard that General Gu treated the fallen soldiers in this way.

In fact, they didn't know that these lands were a surprise to Chuning. It was easy to get, and she didn't intend to make herself a landowner, so she didn't feel distressed if she squandered it like this. The land deeds that were sent out were all land deeds, while the deeds of Tian Gu were still in Chuning's hands.

In the Daqing Dynasty, the ownership of land and the right to use the land had not been separated. Therefore, the land sold to Chuning by the rich and wealthy families was a deed of both ownership and use rights, and Chuning distributed it to the families of the fallen soldiers. The deed for the pension was a deed with only the right to use it, and it was called the deed of land skin, while the one left in Chuning's hands was the deed of bone bone.

These ordinary people don't know what is the right to use and what is ownership. As long as Chuning gives them the deed and tells them that they will plant this piece of land in the future, they will be satisfied and even grateful.

Seeing the actions of this young female school lieutenant, these patriarchs and villagers no longer cared about her previous domineering rumors. Many people even excused her, praised her for being wise and powerful, and for eliminating harm for the people. It was her. I can't see the sinister faces of those rich and powerful families, deliberately drive them away like that, distribute the looted land to the people, and make a living for these suffering people.

While everyone was discussing, Chuning waved his hand and invited the county lord to come to the stage.

The county venerable Wang Yi wore an official robe, which was stained with a lot of dirt and dust. He obviously just came back from the outside, and he didn't care about his own embarrassment. Their dead souls have entered the temple, and the bandits on Donglai Mountain have also been exterminated by Captain Chu, from now on, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment!"

"This matter is all due to the strategizing of the county lord and Captain Chu's brilliance..."

"It's my common people's good fortune to have a county lord who understands the hardships of the people's livelihood, and a Captain Chu to kill thieves bravely..."

"That's right, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live a good life with enough food and drink..."

For Wang Yi, the county lord, these patriarchs and villagers are still quite supportive. Although he is not as wise as Captain Chu, he has indeed done a few practical things. In addition to the case of family shortfalls, he often went to the countryside outside the city to check on the sufferings of people's livelihood and solved many troubles for them.

"Folks, don't worry, I still have a few good things to announce." Hearing the enthusiastic support from the people in the audience, Wang Yi was also excited. He pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then smiled He said in a loud voice: "Recently, I have been visiting the village with Chu Xiaowei and Bai Dadang's family. Seeing that the people are suffering, they have discussed and come up with a few solutions. Now I ask all the villagers to discuss whether it is feasible."

Although, in fact, these methods were proposed by Chu Xiaowei and Bai Dangjia, but these two people are not alone eaters, and they specifically asked Wang Yi to discuss it, just to give Wang Yi political achievements, as long as these methods are slightly effective However, if the lives of the people in the county are slightly improved, the reputation of good governance on Wang Yi's head will definitely not escape.

All the elders and village elders in the audience, although they all have small powers and wealth in their hands, compared with the county lords, school captains and others, they are completely different.

Therefore, at this moment, when the county lord said that he wanted to discuss matters with them, he felt very surprised, and they all listened carefully, for fear that they might miss a word.

"The first thing is the well-known road construction. Master Bai decided to hire another [-] strong men to help..."

Before Wang Yi could finish his sentence, a gray-haired old man in the audience asked impatiently: "Then this newly recruited helper will still be paid as before?"

"Of course there are wages to get." Wang Yi said: "And, it will not be less than those people."

The fellow asked clearly, pinched his fingers to calculate, and then said: "There are 32 strong men in my village. I wonder if the Baida family can accept them all? When can I go to work?"

Immediately, the middle-aged strong man standing next to the fellow glared at each other, and said dissatisfiedly: "Old man Zhang, do you want to eat alone? The Baida family only recruits a total of 200 people, and you want to get those men in your village Put it all in...then the heroes of our village deserve to be hungry?"

"There are 57 strong men in our village, and we ask Master Bai to accept them..."

"Our Zhao family has eleven strong men..."

"Our Li family has six..."

……

In just a few breaths, these patriarchs and villagers were so noisy that their faces were red and their ears were red. Wang Yi yelled several times before he became quieter.

"Everyone in the village, don't worry, I still have something to say." Afraid that this person would start arguing again, Wang Yi sped up his speech, and said all the words in one breath: "The Bai family except for recruiting road builders In addition to the helpers, we also need some helpers who cook salt, and after a while, everyone can go to the steward of the Bai family to inquire about signing up..."

When Wang Yi said this, the people in the audience became even more excited, and they wished they could find the manager of the Bai family right away, for fear that they would be taken away by others if they were a little late.

Seeing that Wang Yi couldn't stand the situation, Chuning had no choice but to step onto the stage, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, folks, I still have a few good things to say here."

Without waiting for these people to react, Chuning quickly said: "First, our Guards Army will recruit 600 more soldiers. Anyone who is eight feet tall can go to our Guards Army barracks for a registration test. If you pass the test, you can Received [-] qian resettlement money, entered the reserve department for two months of training, if the training passed, and became an official soldier of the Guards Army, he could enjoy a monthly salary of [-] qian, food and lodging would be provided by me The army is responsible, and if there are unfortunate casualties, there will be subsidies and pensions."

"Second, the Guards Army is going to build a batch of bricks and tiles to build a new camp. It will recruit 300 strong and strong helpers with a monthly salary of [-]."

"Third, recruit helpers who are proficient in farming or raising pigs, cattle, chickens and ducks, 50 people, and the monthly salary is [-]."

"Fourth, recruit blacksmiths, carpenters, and medical workers. There is no limit to the number of places, and the monthly salary is not less than five hundred."

"Fifth, recruit skilled women who can cut silk, weave silk, and make clothes. As long as they are willing to work hard and work hard, the monthly salary will not be less than three hundred yuan."

……

After Chu Ning finished speaking in one breath, the scene was completely silent. It took a long time for everyone to react. They asked questions one after another, and Chuning answered them one by one. , ran clean.

In the early morning of the next day, when Chuning came to the camp, he was shocked by the strong men and women standing quietly in front of the camp. After counting the number of people, there were no fewer than 3000.

They called Huo Yunshu, Liu Changgui, Chu Rou, Huo Wanqing, and Wang Yuande, hurriedly set up a few desks, and began to sign up for the test in public.

The first test is height, as long as it is less than eight feet, it will be rejected.

The second item is the strength and endurance test. The testee needs to wear a set of iron armor weighing about 25 kilograms, carry a weight of about [-] kilograms, and hold a special iron/gun of about [-] kilograms. .Only with such a full set of equipment, those who can stab a hundred times before the spear can be considered qualified.

Chuning always thought that in such a poor and difficult place, these people lacked nutrition, and the pass rate must be extremely low, but he did not expect that, except for height, the strength and endurance of the rest were not bad, and the pass rate was as high as 80.00% .

Later, even Huo Yunshu was deeply moved when he saw it, and said to Chuning: "These years have been really hard, and now, the general has given them a chance, even if they know they will die in battle, they are like moths to the flame Generally, regardless."

In fact, everyone knows that they are gritting their teeth and struggling. Chu Ning silently watched a tall but thin man struggling to fill up the hundred thorns. In the end, his heart softened. Soldiers."

Before this, the reserve soldiers were paid half-pay, but due to the large number of recruits this time, after discussion and discussion among the guards and militiamen, it was decided that they would only be responsible for food and lodging in addition to the resettlement fee of [-] yuan. After two months of regular training, the reserve soldiers will be assessed again. Only those who pass the assessment can be regarded as real soldiers of the Guards and Militia Army and can enjoy their salary.

In just one and a half days, Chuning recruited [-] reserve soldiers, and the [-] newly recruited reserve soldiers were still trained by Chu Rou.

Chu Rou's original reserve soldiers from the third division were recruited into the first and second divisions based on merit, and the remaining unqualified soldiers were expelled after being paid five hundred yuan for resettlement fees.

After selecting the reserve soldiers in the morning, in the afternoon Chuning began to recruit various craftsmen, Huo Yunshu recruited brick and tile helpers, Xie Yunzhu also rushed back from Donglai Mountain, and personally selected more than [-] female workers.

After Chuning's selection was completed, the rest of the unsuccessful candidates went to the Bai family. Unexpectedly, this time, the head of the Bai family also came to supervise in person. , and even temporarily recruited hundreds more people. It is said that they want to open a carpentry workshop and let these people go to work as apprentices.

Although the salary of a student worker is not as high as that of a helper, the conditions for learning a craft are attractive, and the number of places was already full on the same day.

Those who go to Bai's house after the second day, regardless of gender, can only work as salt workers.Bai Su originally wanted to gather these people together to build a saltworks. These people were only paid helpers, but because there were too many people who came, they had to distribute a big iron pot to each household in the end, and those who received the iron pot The family must sign a contract with Bai Su, using the most valuable things in the family as a guarantee, agreeing that the Bai family will provide cooking utensils, teach them how to cook salt, and let them cook by themselves when they go back, and they must cook in the next five years. All the salt that comes out is sold to the Bai family.

About four or five days later, Bai Su distributed more than a thousand large iron pots, and finally sent these people away, and sent salt cookers to each village to teach them how to cook salt.

After Bai Su has arranged the affairs of the saltworks properly, she will need to make a lot of decisions about the carpentry workshop.Originally, according to Bai Su's method, it was to build a camp like the Weimin Army, and let these people work in it, but after the incident in the salt field, she decided to change the method and equip each carpenter with ten carpenters. As far as [-] students from the same village were asked to find a place to work in the village by themselves, this not only saved the cost of the Bai family, but also did not require them to leave their hometown.

After Chu Ning learned of Bai Su's two actions, he immediately ran to find Bai Su, staring at Bai Su intently as if watching a monster.Chu Ning knew that Bai Su had already started to mass-produce bath beans. In this era when the paper quality was not up to standard and there were no plastic boxes, a lot of carpenters were definitely needed to make wooden boxes to protect the transportation. Therefore, she preemptively said that she would recruit carpenters. He just wanted to eat this piece of fat from Bai Su's hand, but he didn't expect that Bai Su would play it like this.

Not eating meat from Bai Su, Chuning returned to the camp with a thousand emotions. The craftsmen he recruited these days were divided into three categories according to their skills: military, industrial, and agricultural.The craftsman who can make industrial and agricultural utensils is in charge of Zhang Bo, who has made great achievements in making bath beans before. He has established a work bureau, which is under the jurisdiction of Huo Yun, and specializes in the development of some industrial and agricultural things.

The military weapons belonged to the Craftsmanship Department, and the newly recruited blacksmith Zhuo Yuan was the head of the department. According to him, he could make all kinds of weapons and even improve armor.

The Department of Craftsmanship set up the Five Houses of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, each responsible for the development of various equipment, and Chuning gave a death order on the spot, asking them to make a thousand triangular/guns in the fastest time , and, make samples of the improved armor.

This time, in addition to the revision of the establishment of the Craftsmanship Department, almost all the editorial departments of the Weimin Department were reorganized by Chuning.

The Military Department is under the jurisdiction of the Military Department and the Civilian Department. The Military Department is directly led by the Captain, Chu Ning, while the Civilian Department is in charge of Mr. Huo Yunshu.

Under the Ministry of Military Affairs, there are three full-staffed main combat divisions and one reserve division.The three main combat divisions are: the first division Xuanjia division, the second division control string division, the third iron cavalry division, and the fourth preparation division.

In addition to the original Craftsmanship Department and Medical Affairs Department, the Special Warfare Department, Military Intelligence Department, Military Jurisdiction Department, Training Department, and Participation Department were newly established.

Among them, the Special Warfare Division is directly led by Chuning, and there is only an empty title for the time being, and there is no actual establishment yet.As for the Military Intelligence Department, besides the bastard brother who recruited Yao Nan, there are also some soldiers who are injured and unable to return to the battlefield, but do not want to leave the Guards Army.

The person in charge of the Military Jurisdiction Department is Chuning's former personal guard, He Wu, while Jia Pei is in charge of the Disciplinary Department. He has now completely devoted himself to Chuning.

In addition to the reorganization of the military department, the reorganization and adjustment changes of the civilian department are also very large. The civilian department has jurisdiction over:

Security Department: Responsible for the security management of the whole county.

Agricultural Affairs Department: Responsible for various agricultural observations and research, under the jurisdiction of the Water Conservancy Department, the Fisheries Department, and the Agricultural Research Department.

Public Works Division: Responsible for all industrial research, under the jurisdiction of the Industrial Division and the Agricultural Division.

Finance and Accounting Department: Responsible for the accounting and accounting of the entire Xiaowei Mansion.

Department of Propaganda and Education: Responsible for cultivating officials under the school captain's mansion and educating the people in the jurisdiction.

Department of Civil Affairs: responsible for the supervision of people's livelihood and conditions, household registration management and grain tax collection, under the jurisdiction of the civil affairs department, household registration department, and grain tax department.

After such a vigorous reorganization, the establishment of the entire school captain's mansion suddenly became much larger. It took Chuning five or six days to fill up the staff even with the selection and recommendation. Huo Yunshu was speechless. I don't know that there are so many tasks under a small captain.

However, after careful consideration, he found that although Chuning's establishment is detailed, there are still shortcomings. However, this establishment is sufficient to manage the current Huang County.

Just when Chuning's own school captain's office was undergoing the second rectification, Bai Su also inspected the entire Bai's business group after handling the carpentry matters, and found that the original establishment could no longer handle the rapid expansion. The business plan was also rectified with reference to the latest compilation of the Xiaowei Mansion.

Bai Su formally made an appointment with Chuning, and the two sides agreed to jointly invest in Kyushu Trading Company with all their assets, and each would get [-]% of the dividends. (Including but not limited to fixed assets, current assets, human resources...all tangible and intangible assets.)

Moreover, from now on, Kyushu Trading Company refuses to accept any investment and shareholders, and the highest person in charge is Bai Su, who has the decision-making power and execution power of the entire Kyushu Trading Company.The secondary person in charge is Si Dong Chuning, who has the right to be consulted, supervised, advised, warned and vetoed.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Su took out 15 guan in cash from the existing assets of the Kyushu Trading Company, and formed three new business groups, namely Sihai, Bahuang, and Liuhe. The new business groups could introduce new investment, dilute Equity and dividends, but for these three brand new business groups, under any circumstances, the equity of Kyushu Trading Company must remain above 50.00%.

In addition, the two sides have also preliminarily planned the business scope of three new business groups - the Four Seas Business Group is responsible for import and export commercial trade; The planning and construction of facilities in other industries; Liuhe Business Group is responsible for the corresponding industrial investment, production and development promotion.

In addition, the two parties also negotiated some detailed terms. By the time the two parties fully reached an agreement, two full days had passed.

After Chu Ning left Bai Su's study, he couldn't help walking up to the top of the county seat, looking at the far distance as far as he could see, and remained silent.

Feng Jiuqing witnessed the negotiation between the two from the beginning to the end. At this moment, she took Bai Su's place to send Chuning away. Following her, she climbed up to the top of the city, looking at the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, as if she had seen the fall of the Daqing Dynasty.

Yes, even if the Daqing Dynasty did not have the open and secret struggles, the corruption and incompetence, and the internal and external troubles, the Daqing Dynasty must embark on the road of overthrow-because, starting today, he has a man who combines money and force Combined, enemies that expand and grow rapidly.

Turning around, Chu Ning saw Feng Jiuqing's expression, and said, "Miss Qing seems to be very emotional."

"Why isn't Captain Chu?" Feng Jiuqing regained consciousness and said.

"Of course it is." Chu Ning sighed, "President Bai's kindness is beyond my own, Chu Ning."

"Are you talking about her dominance and ambition?" Feng Jiuqing gave up and said, "I can only look up to her."

Originally, Xiaowei's Mansion and Bai's Merchant Group were on an equal footing, but now, all the decision-making powers are in Bai Su's hands. From some aspects, she will be the dominant center in the future.

Fortunately, in the end, Chuning fought hard to get back the dominance of military and civil administration. After Bai Su obtained the absolute dominance of industry and commerce, he was not very interested in military power and civil administration. Chuning wanted , she also gave.

The two chatted with emotion for a few more words, and they were found by Wang Yi. It was said that someone from the county mansion came to urge the payment of taxes and food, and the county lord urgently asked the school captain to discuss with Mr. Huo.

The author has something to say: One mu of land in the Han Dynasty was equivalent to the current 666 square meters, and one hectare of land was equivalent to 15 mu. It is said that each mu of land could produce about three stones of corn at that time, which was equivalent to about 300 catties today. Therefore, The harvest of 15 mu of land should be more than 4 catties.

In Han Dynasty, one foot was about 21.35-23.75cm, and the height was eight feet, equivalent to about 1.7 meters in modern times.
