Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 236 Wang Jiayin has taken a fancy to Lantian County

Tang Ruowang is a sincere person. When he saw the school and heard that Li Chaosheng was willing to build a church for him, he kept telling Li Chaosheng that the Lord would bless him.

However, Li Chaosheng really didn't know whether his master could be the native god of China in this land of China. It would be really stupid to expect him to bless him, so Li Chaosheng wanted more direct benefits.

"Mr. Tang Ruowang, we people from Lantian County are all your friends, and I also hope that you will regard us as your friends."

"Oh, dear magistrate, you are my friend now."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "Mr. Tang Ruowang, since we are friends, I hope we can help each other instead of giving unilaterally. Such a friendship is very fragile, don't you think?"

"Oh, magistrate, what do you mean?"

Tang Ruowang looked at Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng said: "We Ming people pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. I will give you the Great Qin Nestorian Monument and give you the church. Should you give me something in return?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Tang Ruowang, Tang Ruowang slapped his head and said, "Oh, I see, Your Excellency the county magistrate, I can help you calculate astronomy, my astronomy is very good."

Li Chaosheng was speechless when he heard this. It's astronomical. Isn't this kind of thing something that the founding emperor can do?Calculate the astronomy, and then issue an almanac, even if it is announced to the world, it will be my world in the future. How can a county magistrate issue an almanac.

In history, Tang Ruowang did write a calendar for Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, called "Shixian Calendar", and finally helped China to come up with the lunar calendar that we still use today.

But this is not what Li Chaosheng wants. What Li Chaosheng wants is: "The knowledge about cannon in Tang Ruowang's mind."

Thinking of Li Chaosheng, he said directly to Tang Ruowang: "Mr. Tang Ruowang, although I really want to continue our friendship, you let me down very much, so I leave."

Li Chao left angrily. Tang Ruowang seemed to understand but didn't understand. At this moment, he looked at Bai Shoumin who had been with her and said, "Bai, what's going on?"

Bai Shoumin looked at Tang Ruowang and said, "Mr. Tang Ruowang, you are confused."

"I'm not confused, I understand very well, how did I offend your county lord?"

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin looked at Tang Ruowang and said, "You haven't eaten yet, let's go, I'll take you to eat our Lantian wide noodles, and chat while eating."

Ruowang of the noodle shop drank the last sip of noodle soup into his stomach, and said with a satisfied expression on his face: "Bai, the greatest thing about your Daming is these delicious foods, I like them so much."

Bai Shoumin looked at Tang Ruowang and said, "Don't just eat, what I just told you?"

Tang Ruowang nodded and said: "Understood, doesn't your county lord just want me to help improve the cannon? Just say it straight, why are you angry? Really, he helped me so much. I helped him change the cannon. It should."

Bai Shoumin smiled and said: "My county lord has a thin skin, maybe he's not ashamed, okay, now that Mr. Tang Ruowang understands, come and see the county lord with me again."

After hearing this, Tang Ruowang waved his hands and said, "I won't go today, I'm too full, let's do it tomorrow."

Bai Shoumin looked at Tang Ruowang very speechless, this foreign devil is too full to do business, forget it and wait for tomorrow.

Tang Ruowang saw Li Chaosheng again the next day: "Oh, respected magistrate, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I found out that I can modify the cannon. I can help your county modify the cannon. Can it be a gift of our friendship?"

Li Chaosheng saw that Tang Ruowang was finally on the road, and said with a smile: "Of course, my friend, I'm very willing to make friends with you."

The two talked to each other and chatted quickly. When they talked about lunch, Tang Ruowang had another meal of noodles. He was very happy. Li Chaosheng didn't care, and we didn't miss the noodles.

After Tang Ruowang ate the noodles, he went to the gun factory of the Firearms Camp. Tang Ruowang still had to hide some other types of firearms, such as Li Chaosheng's current core weapon, the flintlock gun, which must not be leaked.

After sending Tang Ruowang away, Li Chaosheng took Guzi to Languan Town to attend the opening ceremony of Lantian No. [-] Steel Plant. This is a key project that Li Chaosheng proposed last year. It is to improve the production and quality of iron and steel in Lantian County.

Li Chaosheng checked the information and asked relevant people. After a series of hard work, he finally made progress in the steelmaking plant project. First of all, Li Chaosheng changed the previous steelmaking mode and adopted the most advanced one, which of course has not yet appeared in this era. Blast furnace steelmaking method.

As a result, the first blast furnace chimney in Lantian County with excessive sewage discharge was erected. In this era, there is no environmental protection law, and there is no concept of environmental protection. The main reason is that Lantian County focuses on development, and any anti-pollution is nonsense, and people can't afford it. Let's eat, pollute, pollute some.

Development requires a process. For this era, big chimneys are a symbol of advancement. These large chimneys with a height of more than ten meters in Lantian are similar to the symbolic meaning of the Eiffel Tower in France and the Statue of Liberty in the United States, and they are proper landmarks.

When Li Chaosheng came to the steelmaking plant, the factory manager came out to receive Li Chaosheng in person. The factory manager was a graduate Li Chaosheng found from the academy. He studied blast furnace steelmaking and the corresponding knowledge. He was better than Li Chaosheng professionally. Be professional.

He led Li Chaosheng to visit the blast furnace. The construction of the blast furnace is made of green bricks and cement. It was undertaken by the construction team of the army. After hearing this, Li Chaogong, who was waiting for the inspection, hurriedly came up to introduce to Li Chaosheng that the cement chimney is inside The base of six layers of bricks and tiles is very strong, even if it encounters a small-scale earthquake, it is not afraid. Of course, the earthquake in this era is called the earth dragon turning over.

Li Chaogong assured that everything was in accordance with the construction standards set by Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng trusted this. Li Chaogong and the others had no reason to lie to themselves, and they dared not lie to themselves. If something happened, his head would not be needed.

Li Chaosheng took a tour, looked at the steelmaking furnace, looked at the staff dormitory, looked at the raw material factory warehouse, and looked at the staff canteen. Everything was of the highest standard.

The factory is currently recruiting workers, and the job requirements must be 20-year-old adult men who have lived in Lantian County for more than ten years, and their parents are preferably from Lantian.

This steel factory has a lot of technology, so it needs to be kept secret, so the recruitment conditions are a bit harsh.

But even so, there are still many people applying for the job. There are still many local residents in Lantian County, and the most important thing is that the steel factory pays well.

Working here is two taels of silver a month, and it also includes food and housing. This is heaven in the eyes of Lantian people. It is two taels of silver a month, which is 24 taels a year. You can buy it in the city every year. It's a suite, a proper high-paying industry.

Therefore, the conditions are harsh, but there are still people who come to apply for the job, and even want to get in without hesitation, but they are all severely rejected by Li Chaosheng, and an inspection team is sent. .

Li Chaosheng has always been in a state of high pressure on this matter. It is absolutely not allowed to engage in corruption before the foundation is completed. This will destroy the foundation that he has worked hard to build. This is absolutely not allowed.

Li Chaosheng was very satisfied with the steelmaking plant, so after walking around, he prepared to start the ribbon-cutting ceremony. This ceremony was held at noon. The present ceremony was attended by Li Chaosheng, the county lord, some local gentry, and All walks of life join in.

At the beginning of the ribbon-cutting, Li Chaosheng delivered a speech to the effect that steel is the foundation of a city's development. Only when there is enough steel can a city develop better and better. I hope everyone will work hard and create brilliance.

Li Chaosheng's speech won a lot of applause. In fact, this has nothing to do with Li Chaosheng's brilliant speech. At Li Chaosheng's level, even if he farted on stage, someone in the audience would definitely praise him. The sound of this fart is extraordinary. Adults are extraordinary people.

Well, the status, the power, the real mother is a good thing.

After visiting the blast furnace steelmaking plant, in the afternoon, Li Chaosheng met with business representatives from various places who came to Lantian to do business, and encouraged them to work hard.

In the evening, while eating, Li Chaosheng listened to Guo Bao's report, to the effect that this year's court taxation, this year's Lantian County's harvest, and business income.

Here, Guo Bao finished reporting the matter, and on the other side, Gu Zi took out a lot of invitations, such as King Qin of Xi'an Mansion celebrated his birthday, and invited adults to come, and said adults married a wife at home, and invited adults to come.

Li Chaosheng just sent people to bring gifts to all these things. It didn't matter whether he went or not, and that wasn't what they were looking at.

However, there was a piece of news that alarmed Li Chaosheng, that is, Wang Jiayin from northern Shaanxi fell in love with Lantian County, and felt that Lantian was rich and rich, and robbing Lantian County would be enough for them to survive the winter, so he deliberately sent troops to plunder Lantian County.

At present, the army has been integrated and is ready to go at any time. Even Hong Chengchou noticed the abnormality, and the frontier army was mobilized accordingly.

This news was told by Bai Shoumin to Li Chaosheng, because the first person to spread the news was Li Shichao, who was undercover next to Li Zicheng.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Chengchou also issued a warning to Lantian, telling Li Chaosheng that he must persevere. Lantian is the largest grain-producing area in Shaanxi.

So this time we must rely on Lantian County's own strength. Li Chaosheng didn't panic when he got the news. For example, Zhang Xianzhong, the so-called Eight Great Kings in the future, these people are all famous figures in the future.

After Lantian County got the news, it immediately became vigilant. All the officers held a meeting. At the meeting, everyone said that they would fight against the bandits. Some even called for the mobilization of the militia.

However, these were all rejected by Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng especially criticized the idea of ​​using the militia in words. This is a very stupid behavior, and its stupidity is comparable to that of a pig.

I even disagree with Li Chaolong's idea of ​​closing the door and beating dogs. After all, closing the door and beating dogs is based on poverty and whiteness. Now that the construction of Lantian is in full swing, if you put a dog in, how do you know that this dog is not a husky? If you put this Erha in Well, that Lantian hasn't been demolished.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng set the tone to keep the enemy out and not enter Lantian.

At present, the four counties of Lantian are merged together, so this time Li Chaosheng decided to be outside of Lantian. Li Chaosheng thought about it and drew a location on the map: Dali County!
This is Li Chaosheng's plan to annex the county, and it is currently advancing. However, the local tyrants and evil gentry in Dali County are much more hateful than those in Lantian County. They have kept Lantian County out, and even organized local people to attack Li Chaosheng's tax officials. It can be described as stubborn.

Li Chaosheng didn't want to use troops, because the land robbed by soldiers was not secure, so this time Li Chaosheng planned to use the hands of the bandits to sort out Dali County. Only when it was broken can it be rebuilt, which saved Li Chaosheng's demolition costs. , and the landlords and gentry were killed, Li Chaosheng happened to take their land as state-owned. This is the way to long-term stability.

Li Chaosheng looked at the map, took a sand table, found the generals to deduce, and found that the possibility of the bandits passing through Dali County was as high as 80.00%.

First of all, the bandits came down from the north and robbed along the way, but they were also chased and intercepted by the soldiers of Yang He and Hong Chengchou, so the route they could take was very fixed. Secondly, the reason why they attacked Lantian from Dali County was mainly from Dali County. The other way is Xi'an. Xi'an City has Xi'an City garrisons, and there are not a few of them. No matter how arrogant the rogues are, they dare not go straight to Xi'an City. They don't have the strength to take down Xi'an City, so they can only go to Dali County.

Moreover, Dali County is close to Baishui, and Baishui is Wang Er's hometown. They are familiar with this road, so they must go to Dali County. Thinking of this, everyone studies how to stop the rogues in Dali County.

Dali County has a total of fifteen towns, most of which are plains and loess areas. The only decent mountain is Tielian Mountain, but this mountain is in the north, and the bandits come down from the north, so the bandits are directly blocked in Dali County In addition, this is not in line with Li Chaosheng's idea of ​​using thieves to destroy the landlords and gentry in Dali County.

So Li Chaosheng decided to let the thieves in, and wiped out many towns in Dali County one by one. The thieves were divided into several groups, so he didn't have to face them directly, so he had to divide them up.

Li Chaosheng expressed his thoughts. Many generals and officers performed deduction on the sand table, and many military students who graduated from the academy also participated in the deduction, making meticulous arrangements and calculations. Li Chaosheng did not believe that there would be such a person as Zhuge Liang in this era. It can be regarded as exhaustive strategy, besides, Zhuge Liang still miscalculated Jieting.

So Li Chaosheng organized a staff group, and everyone studied together every time there was a war. It is said that three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang?Li Chaosheng didn't think there would be any mistakes when a group of strategists who had read a lot of strategies got together to discuss, and even deduced each other's strategic policy on the sand table.

And this kind of deduction is absolutely fair and just. On the sand table, even if it is Li Chaosheng, if you beat him to the north, no one will say that you are wrong, but praise you for your excellent strategy.

There is a saying that there is no size above the sand table, and there are rules under the table, that is the case.
