Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 11
After Qian Dianshi left, Zhang Zongxian had some tea in the study and then returned to the lobby.It was very gratifying to see Zhe Renjie arrange the selection of soldiers in a decent manner.Now his military team is about to take shape.

At this time, the head of the workshop went to the lobby and said that he had something to report.Zhang Zongxian asked him to come to Ertang.After Zhang Zongxian sat down, the head of the workshop submitted the statistics that Zhang Zongxian asked him to count.

Zhang Zongxian has never adapted to the writing habits of the Ming Dynasty.And he, who is used to modern tables, couldn't sort out the data provided by Kobo at all.Zhang Zongxian had no choice but to draw a form on paper by himself, and then asked the people in the workshop to record himself into the form.

It took more than half an hour to sort out the data.The maintenance of the city wall required nearly a thousand workers to spend 8000 taels of silver and 1800 shi for food, which took three months.

Moreover, the beginning of autumn is about to come, and corvee labor cannot be carried out, otherwise the autumn harvest will be delayed, and the only way to repair it is after the autumn harvest.If you want to repair it now, you need to spend money to hire labor, and you have to spend at least 20000 taels of silver.

The water conservancy facilities in Qingjian County are all good. They are maintained every winter but no new water conservancy facilities have been built.Maintenance also means that there is no unified deployment for each village to maintain each village.

Originally, Qingjian County was on the edge of the Yellow River, so there should be no shortage of water, but the land is all on the original water, and it depends on the sky for food, and the climate here is drought nine times a decade, which is very unsuitable for farmers.

Zhang Zongxian thought for a while and said

"Leave the city wall in advance, and you have to make a plan for the water conservancy facilities of the whole county. Not only should the original water conservancy be coordinated, but also a plan for diverting the water from the Yellow River to irrigate the whole county should be planned. The aqueduct lifts the water up the plain."

After hearing Zhang Zongxian's request, the two people in the studio looked at each other and said
"I'll know about the elevated canal of Xianzun, but how will the water be brought up to the canal?"

"Idiots, haven't you seen the creation of heavenly creations? You should know about the overturning of the car, no matter what, you will make a plan for me first, and I will give you a month."

The two people in the workshop were very puzzled, there were only a few books about the creation of utensils, and they had never heard of this kind of creation.

I didn't dare to ask the magistrate of the county because they didn't know that it was new in the capital. Fortunately, they knew that it was an object that existed in the Han Dynasty.

"Also, is there any contiguous open space in this county where warehouses and inns can be built?"

"There is only an open space in the east of the city, but it has always been a place where the county dumps garbage, so it smells so bad that it was vacant."

"Okay, I get it, you guys go down."

Zhang Zongxian decided that the people in the workshop were too good-for-nothings. If they were asked to do the maintenance project of the city wall, it might be a tofu project after all the money was spent.No, we can't let them do it, we have to outsource all these projects, and they are responsible for the design and acceptance.

It is also necessary to use the Wule job title system to assign responsible persons in place, and when the time comes to catch up with the tofu dregs project, they will be turned into tofu dregs.

After thinking about the plan, he called back the people from the workshop and asked them to put up a bidding notice in the name of the workshop, and asked capable businessmen in the city to bid for a project, which was to clean up the garbage on the open space in the east of the city and bury it in the city. In the outer ravine and level the land.

Bidders are required to state how much it will take to complete the work in a few days.

At that time, the person with the lowest quotation and the shortest time will get the project, and the project payment will be paid according to the quotation after completion and acceptance.

Interested bidders need to come to the county office in the morning after three days to bid, and then the county magistrate will come in person.

The bidding notice was posted at the gate of the yamen soon. Because most people were illiterate, they would read the notice several times after it was posted to let everyone know what the notice was about.

After the soap official finished reading it, the people began to discuss it. This yamen can't do corvee but spends money to hire people to work. It's really novel.

For the common people, corvée is a good official!As for whose money to spend, it’s not your own.A few people who are thinking about how to survive have already thought about how to win this project.

In the afternoon, Zhe Renjie had already recruited everyone, and Zhang Zongxian was invited to inspect the team.Zhang Zongxian really likes Zhe Renjie's vigorous action.Immediately got up and went to the North Gate Campus.

When I arrived at the school field, I saw the 200 people standing still in 10 columns.Because all the recruits are from good families, they are all middle peasants whose families have more than ten acres, and most of them are the second sons who come out to serve in the army, so that they can have a share of income and tax exemption for the family.

Zhang Zongxian is very satisfied with the quality of soldiers.Then he asked Zhe Renjie how he planned to train these soldiers and how long it would take to become an army.

Zhe Renjie said that he will train soldiers completely according to the new book of school discipline, first what?then what?Zhang Zongxian signaled Zhe Renjie to stop talking.

"Does Renjie have a name?"

"The humble official has not yet performed the crowning ceremony, so there is no sign yet."

"How much older am I than you? You can be considered your teacher if you work under my command. I will send you a letter today. Do you know what it means?"

After listening to Zhe Renjie, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Zhang Zongxian.

"Thank you, teacher! Thank you, teacher! The kindness of the teacher is like my reborn parents."

"Liangchen, get up quickly." As he spoke, Zhe Renjie was helped up.

"Teacher Liangchen knows that this is the name of Han Shizhong, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. The teacher hopes that I will be a pillar of the court like Han Shizhong."

"Liangchen, it's good that you understand, the king of Tongyi County has killed countless enemies, and he also started to conquer the world from northern Shaanxi.

Your surname Zhe must be a descendant of the Zhejia Army. The Zhejia Army has made great contributions to the Song Dynasty for 200 years.

Good minister, you must bear in mind that those who are not of my race must have different hearts.I would rather die in battle than humiliate myself. "

"Teacher, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and have been familiar with military books. One day I will wash away the shame of the Zhe family. When my father was alive, he often taught me that if we want to serve the country in the army, we must return the shroud of horse leather. My mother heard that the teacher was recruiting soldiers yesterday and immediately asked me to put everything down and go to the teacher."

"Liangchen, this great Ming looks bright and bright on the outside, and is already riddled with holes inside. You have lived in the frontier for a long time and you know that the Nine Border Guards are dilapidated and unable to fight.

However, the Liaodong Wild Boar Pi claimed that after the Jin Dynasty broke through Fushun, it has risen and become a confidant that shakes the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.The reason why I came to Qingjian County from the capital is to train an iron army.

To prevent Jin Bing from re-entering the Central Plains.You have to train your troops well in the future so that you can make great achievements and honor your ancestors to avenge the shame of the Zhe family army. "

"Never disappoint the teacher's cultivation, use the blood of this wild boar skin to wash away the shame of my family."

"Very good. The reason why I interrupted you just now was to tell you not to study hard. The formation of mandarin ducks is fine in the south, but it won't be very effective in the open land in the north.

What I want is a strong army that can fight against the Tartar cavalry in the grassland.And to fight the cavalry in the field depends on the armor-piercing firearms of the strict army formation. "

"Teacher, I know the army formation, but I always hurt myself more than kill the enemy with this firearm!"

"Officials in the imperial court only want to make money, and they don't care about the lives of soldiers. The firearms that I supervised are cheap and useless. I will personally supervise the production of new firearms and you.

This will be a new army that will be different from the past in terms of training and wearing equipment. Now you first train them in physical fitness and formation, and then I take time every day to teach them to read, write, and understand things. "

"Teacher, read and write here."

"I said that this is a new army. How can you understand military orders if you don't read and write?

The first batch of people is just a seed. How can 200 people be enough? In the future, there will be [-].Take a long-term view and look at the world. "

"A good minister understands"

"After the soldiers are settled today, go pick up your mother. I have arranged for Qian Dianshi to prepare a place for you to live in and a maid to serve your mother."

After listening to Liangchen, he knelt down again.Zhang Zongxian supported him so that he could train with peace of mind.Don't worry about these little things.Then he went back to the county office.

When I returned to the backyard of the county government office, I took out the written plan and made a note that I would go to teach the sergeant every day in the future.Now the county government has almost mastered it, and the army has begun to start.Then there is money.The equipment of the new army costs a lot of money.Money must be earned faster.

After putting away the plan, he called Qi Dashui in.Arrange for him to quietly invite the owner of the brewery here tonight with his warrant.Don't let other people see him, and don't tell anyone about him.

In the evening, Qi Dashui brought the shopkeeper of the Liang Family Winery to the study in the backyard.After entering the study, Zhang Zongxian asked shopkeeper Liang to sit down, and asked Qi Dashui to go out.Shopkeeper Liang didn't know why the magistrate asked him so late?
Still came in through the back door.Could it be that he fell in love with his family's wine shop.Didn't you say that the county magistrate is a good official?I also thought that the county magistrate just killed someone today.I feel even more anxious.

After Zhang Zongxian asked the shopkeeper Liang to sit down, he was not in a hurry to speak. He first took a sip of tea slowly, and then picked up the Daming Law to check.Shopkeeper Liang was even more unclear, so he broke out in a cold sweat. Zhang Zongxian saw that the heat was almost ready.He opened his mouth and said:

"I heard that your family has brewed wine for generations, how much wine can you brew in a year?"

"Master, my family has been brewing wine in Qingjian County for six generations. If there is enough food, we can produce about 6 catties of wine a year."

"Presumably you have also heard that I come from a family of officials in the capital. I came to Qingjian County to do several important things. Now I have a fortune with you. I will provide your winemaking workshop with a spirit of winemaking skills.

They will also prepare 500 taels of silver for you to buy food.But you can't sell one or two of the spirits you brew, you can only sell them to me, understand? "

"The county venerable, the young one doesn't want the county lord's silver, and is willing to dedicate the winery to the county lord."

"Shut up and just listen to my arrangement. Only your family members know that the skill of this liquor is passed on from the court. If it is revealed to outsiders, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans!"

Shopkeeper Liang knelt down in fright when he heard about Zhu Jiu Clan.Seeing him like that, Zhang Zongxian comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid that as long as you do things for me with your heart, it will be a fortune. In the future, with my support, your grandson can enter the Imperial Academy as an official.

Send your grandchildren here tomorrow and I will teach them myself,"

Shopkeeper Liang didn't want to hear this, because the grandson was going to inherit the family business, and they had made a move to become the county magistrate's disciple, but they didn't know if the magistrate was a good one.I heard that those scholars like it.

"My grandchildren are still young! Only one of them has just turned nine years old. The other two are under three years old. Why don't I leave my daughter to the county magistrate as individuals."

Shopkeeper Liang felt that the grandson was too young to be separated from his mother, and that the eldest grandson was ready to inherit the family business, but the daughter lost money and wanted to marry in the future, so it would be better to give it to the county magistrate, which can be regarded as climbing a high branch.

daughter?It seems that they have heard that his daughter is very beautiful!

Shopkeeper Liang felt that there was something going on, so he hurriedly continued:

"My grandchildren are really young! The county lord, I will send them to the county lord in a few years. It is a blessing that my family has cultivated for several lifetimes that they can be your apprentices."

A daughter is a daughter!This wicked feudal society doesn't treat women as human beings at all.

"Your nine-year-old grandson has left his mother."

"this·····"

Shopkeeper Liang wanted to argue a few more words.

Zhang Zongxian didn't give him a chance to continue speaking,

"Whether it's for future generations to win a fortune, or whether it's the last one, you have to figure it out for yourself, I will see someone send it over tomorrow." Ignoring the shopkeeper Liang, who was already paralyzed by fright, he asked Qi Dashui to send him back home .

Zhang Zongxian now likes the feeling of being in power more and more. This kind of power to decide the life and death of others at will makes him unable to stop. Now he has fully integrated into the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty, which cannibalize people.
