Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 50 Growing Prosperity
After Eunuch Li left, Zhang Zongxian entered the teacher mode again.Either attending classes or leading students to do experiments.

On November 46, the 23th year of Wanli, the first batch of young adults who received training today completed the queue assessment.

Zhang Zongxian selected the best 300 people from the inside and incorporated them into the new army in the name of guards as the defense force of Changsheng Fort.

In this way, the defense of Fort Changsheng will be guaranteed, after all, this place has become the most critical place.

The remaining young and middle-aged people did not go home and went directly to the construction site to work.The construction of the city walls and roads required manpower.The second batch of young adults who received training were also pulled directly from the construction site.

In this way, more than 1 young and strong people are either training or working on the construction site throughout the winter.Both the construction site and the training ground are in charge of food.

There is one less food in the common people's family, which greatly reduces the burden.The children in the family can also eat more.Presumably this winter will give the people of Qingjian County a little more warmth in their hearts, and they will have more expectations for the coming year.

It's just that Taiping's food stock is depleted a bit quickly, so we have to find a way to increase the stock.

With the repair and construction of the road, XCMG solved the steering system.Zhang Zongxian decided to open the first public carriage route between Changshengbao and the county seat.

The stagecoach is operated by the person who originally gave the stagecoach dealer an interest-free loan given by Taiping.In the early stage, the yamen gave tax-free treatment for one year.

The stagecoach is so large that it can accommodate twenty people at a time, just to reduce the weight and increase the load, which makes it a bit cold for the ventilation on all sides.

The common people can sit in the county seat for one copper coin, and they have to pay an extra copper coin if they carry more than [-] catties of goods. There is no child ticket.As long as the child weighs more than [-] catties, he has to pay.

Take a carriage to the county seat and hand over a copper coin, and you can follow the established route to pull the people to any place on the main road in the city.

In the future, as long as the roads permit, public carriages will be rolled out to the whole county in the future.

During the period, Zhang Zongxian and his disciples also practiced coke.So far, the temperature of the steelmaking furnace has been guaranteed, and the refining of spring steel has finally progressed.

The gunpowder factory in Liujia Workshop was also built. Zhang Zongxian told them the method of refining soil and nitrate, and ordered the production to stay away from places where people gather. Production is too interesting.

As for the granular gunpowder technology, the artisans have already mastered it and don't need Zhang Zongxian to remind it.

The biggest problem of going to class in winter is that opening the windows will not keep you warm, and you will not be able to open the windows for lighting.It made Zhang Zongxian extremely irritable, isn't it just glass?
Think of the picture you saw on TV and refine the picture.Just near the steelmaking furnace, another furnace was built to melt sand and various substances. If you don’t believe it, you can’t try it.

The horse market was frantically hoarding wool, and merchants from all over the place ran to Qingjian County to buy wool thread back home regardless of the severe cold.Later, Hu Biao spent a lot of money to find a cloth dyeing master to dye the wool and then sell it, which became even more popular.

Zhang Zongxian praised Hu Biao's initiative.Let Hu Biao and the dyer build a separate factory for dyed wool.Among them, Taiping accounted for [-]% of the shares, and Hu Biao accounted for [-]% of the shares, and the dyeing master accounted for [-]% of the shares.

Such behavior stimulated many craftsmen, and various craftsmen and businessmen from nearby counties came to Qingjian County to open workshops.Zhang Zongxian took advantage of the situation to set aside a large piece of wasteland in the west of the city as an industrial area.

As long as there is a market for what you produce, Taiping will lend you a loan.The first year is interest-free.Land is not rented either.

Zhang Zongxian also continued to put orders into the market to continue to stimulate the development of the manufacturing industry.For example, [-] pairs of big-toed leather shoes were recently tendered for new army outfits.One thousand long double riding boots are prepared for the cavalry.The equipment of the new army was also replaced by leather.

In addition to the Liujia Workshop, three new ironmaking workshops opened.It mainly produces farm implements and iron pots.

The prosperity of the manufacturing industry has driven all walks of life. Although it is winter, everyone's enthusiasm has not diminished.The horse market is trading at new highs every day.

The resident population of the county is also increasing the demand for workshops.The demand for heating fuel in winter has also increased significantly.Coal charcoal prices are also soaring.The road from nearby Shenmu County to Qingjian County is full of carts pulling coal.

The increase in population has also brought about all kinds of confusion, and more people have come to the county government for mediation.Zhang Zongxian led his disciples to formulate many urban management regulations to regulate the behavior of the people.

For example: renting a house requires a contract, but any disputes arising from failure to establish a contract will not be accepted.You have to pay tax

Strictly crack down on littering and defecating indiscriminately, and those who catch them must either pay money or show the public with a wooden sign.

Designate areas for itinerant vendors, all licensed to pay taxes.

Horses are not allowed in the county town for non-official business, and horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to run in the county town. Anyway, a road around the city wall has been built, so you can run around the city in a hurry.

Zhang Zongxian also set up an administrative center on a trial basis. The yamen was built too seriously, and the common people were always trembling when doing things. He rented a few shops at the yamen entrance and transformed them into open windows similar to his previous life, allowing surnames to handle various contracts and make up All taxes are paid here.

The reconstruction plan of the yamen has also been put on the agenda. When the road is completed, manpower will be free, and the wall of the county yamen will be demolished and replaced with a reception window.

At the same time, he guarded the eunuch's mansion in Nayansui Town.

The guardian eunuch An Qiusheng is currently receiving the big man in Jinyiwei who accompanied Eunuch Li in Qingjian County that day.

Before the big man in Jinyiwei finished speaking, An Qiusheng had someone drive him out.Because it was the big man recommended by the staff next to him.At this moment he asked puzzledly:
"Elder-in-law, Qingjian County is indeed very fat now! The Nama City alone is a big business, and the supply of that liquor on the grassland is in short supply!
After all, in the city, there is no market for the asking price of 20 taels a catty, but now this sky milk wine has been released, and it can be sold for 300 taels a catty in the capital.It will soon become a tribute wine.

This year is at least a million taels of work!

And Huang Shilang has always been filial to his father-in-law, and the county magistrate said he would be wiped out, so he won't give you any face.Just let him go like this, father-in-law, where will you save your face.

Why don't you ask the soldiers from Yansui Town to pretend to be Tartars and cleanse Qingjian County, and bring back those brewers. Then, father-in-law, you will have no shortage of money to honor the palace. "

That Eunuch An gave the staff member a cold look.

"Idiot, Jin Yiwei is an idiot and you are also an idiot. Then Li Jinzhong is nothing? But behind Li Jinzhong is the Wei Dynasty, and behind the Wei Dynasty is Wang Gonggong. How many of you dare to move the prince.

Qingjian County was also washed, and the magistrate was killed by the Tartars. That was a major event that shocked the government and the public.

No matter how much money you have, it will be cheap for others. "

The staff is still not willing to say

The master then send someone to warn Nazhi County, or ask the people below to intercept their caravan.If you don't give you an annual profit of 50 taels, you won't let their things go out of the side wall.

The more Eunuch An looked at this staff member, the more he disliked him. He thought if it was you or my brother-in-law, I would have killed you a long time ago, so he could only sigh helplessly:
"Those frontier generals who are owed wages by the imperial court are counting on collecting the tolls. Banning the caravan means cutting off their financial resources. When they make troubles about wages, the imperial court still uses my head to settle the incident."

Now the staff has nothing to say.
