Chapter 107 0104 [Letter from the State Government]

After dinner, Han Zhen called the monkey to the study.

"How did it feel during this time?"

"After getting acquainted with it, I suddenly became idle."

Monkey scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

When he first started managing, he was extremely nervous, and his nerves were tense every day, wishing he could stare at him twelve hours a day.

As time went by, after he gradually became familiar with management and promoted a few managers and supervisors, he suddenly realized that it didn't matter whether he had himself or not, and suddenly he was at ease.

Even if he is absent all day, the lime kiln can still function normally.

"I said a long time ago, don't think too hard about this errand. It's like Xiaowang Village. When I'm not around, don't the villagers stop farming? Don't they eat?"

Han Zhen imparted his own experience without hesitation: "Monkey, remember one thing, don't take yourself and others too seriously. The world will continue to function without anyone, even if Emperor Zhao dies tomorrow, he will There are other emperors succeeding to the throne, and the people should farm and farm, and should work."

Hearing this, the monkey blinked his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

He can say this to the monkey, but he won't say it to Ma Sangou, Xiaochong and Gu Song.

Because Ma Sangou and the others couldn't understand.

After a while, the monkey frowned and said, "I seem to understand a little, but I don't understand."

"You don't need to think about it deliberately, you will understand it slowly."

Han Zhen smiled slightly, and then ordered: "The workers at the lime kiln, you should know everything in your heart, and promote someone to take your place."

"it is good!"

The monkey nodded without asking why.

The second brother Han asked him to leave the lime kiln, he must have other errands for him.

"Go ahead and call Gu Siong and Shitou for me by the way."

Looking at the back of the monkey leaving, Han Zhen habitually tapped the table with his fingers.

Monkey's first stage of training has ended, and he will continue to stay in Bailairen's lime kiln, with no room for growth.

Next, Han Zhen plans to hand over the more than 2000 prisoners of war to him for management.

Managing a hundred people is not the same concept as managing thousands of people, this is no small test.

Even talents need a little bit of experience to grow.

The stage is given to Han Zhen, and it is up to him to see how far he can grow in the end.

While meditating, Gu Song and Shi Shi came.

"Second Brother Han."

The two looked dazed, not knowing why Han Zhen called them here.

Han Zhen greeted: "What are you doing stupidly, sit down."

After the two sat down, Han Zhen cast his eyes on Gu Song and asked, "Are you willing to do business?"

Gu Siong is quick-witted and quick-witted, but compared to monkeys, he has a somewhat detached temper.

Let him stay in one place honestly, he won't be able to stay.

This kind of temperament, on the contrary, is more suitable for businessmen, running around and dealing with all kinds of people.

"Second Brother Han, I am willing!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Si hurriedly nodded.

Seeing this, Han Zhen arranged: "In this case, you will go to the county with me tomorrow, and then you will follow Zhu Yuanwai and learn how to do business."

It is impossible for him to hand over the sales channel to outsiders all the time. He just couldn't make a move before and didn't have the right time.

In the future, even if Chang Zhi County and Zhu Ji leave, Gu Song will be able to take over Zhu Ji's position and keep the business going.

"Thank you, Brother Han."

Gu Song expressed his thanks with a happy smile.

"My brother, thank you for what."

Han Zhen waved his hand, then turned his gaze to the stone.

Shi Shi has the least sense of existence among the five of them. To put it mildly, he has a good-natured temper, but to put it mildly, he has a bad brain.

Often after Han Zhen explained something, he just went about it without saying a word.

He was a little beggar in the past, foolish and foolish, and was often beaten and scolded by the gangsters in the West Market for fun. Han Zhen saw how pitiful he was, so he took him in.

In the past two years, my mind has improved a lot.

Stone is the nickname given to him by Han Zhen. An old monk in the temple at that time gave him a nice name.

Bi Mengyu.

From a miscellaneous poem by Huang Tingjian: After all, a few people are really a deer, and they don't know that they dream of being fish all day long.

For Shitou, Han Zhen really didn't know what to arrange for him for a while.

After thinking for a while, Han Zhen simply asked, "Stone, what do you want to do?"

"I...I want to strike iron."

Shi Shi held back for a long time, and finally choked out this sentence.

"Forging iron?"

Han Zhen was taken aback.

Gu Song on the side explained: "Second Brother Han, the stone has been running towards Blacksmith Yuan during this time, and I squatted at the door of the blacksmith's shop to watch them forge weapons. It took a whole day to see them."

Hearing this, Han Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, since you like blacksmithing, tomorrow you will go to the blacksmith's shop as an apprentice."

"hey-hey."

Shitou smiled foolishly.

Han Zhen didn't expect Shi Shi to do anything, after all, it was a momentary act of kindness to take him in.

In this world, it is very rare to be able to live in peace and do a job you like.

After the two of them left, it was completely dark outside the window.

Han Zhen lit the oil lamp and wrote the management regulations of the salt factory for a while, then got up and left the study.

It's time to teach the soldiers a lesson.

Ten words a day, nothing can be shaken.

……

……

The next day.

After handing over the prisoners of war to the monkeys, Han Zhen rode his horse and took Gu Song all the way to the village.

"Nie Dong, choose four teams to follow me to the county seat."

Hearing that they were going to the county seat, these soldiers scrambled and were extremely active.

Their little thoughts, Han Zhenmen Qing'er.

All of them were so poor before, so naturally they would not have other ideas.Now that I have money on hand, I start thinking about other things.

Compared with Xiaowang Village, the county town is much more prosperous.

There are restaurants and brothels...

In the end, Nie Dong asked Zhang He to lead four teams and follow Han Zhen to the county seat.

With Zhang He here, these soldiers can be restrained.

The main purpose of this trip was to collect food. Since Xiaowang Village had three or four thousand more mouths, food consumption has increased dramatically.

The big ones are the soldiers in the barracks!

In order to ensure the intensity of training, Han Zhen spent a lot of money from the beginning, eating three dry meals a day.

As long as there is no waste, the soldiers can eat as much as they can.

And one meal of meat every three days. When there is no meat, it is also guaranteed to have tofu in every meal to provide a stable protein intake.

The days are short, and nothing can be seen yet.

In less than two months, the soldiers trained with full rations and salaries will begin to show their combat effectiveness.

As for the four teams of veterans, they were not there to protect themselves, but to take over the defense of the three teams in the county.

For Chang Yukun, he didn't believe it all, and always kept an eye on it.

On the way, I happened to meet a coal delivery team.

But Zhu Ji didn't come in person, the leader was one of his servants.

When I came outside the county seat, I saw a group of people working on the upper reaches of the Xiaodong River from a long distance away.

When the hydraulic forging workshop is completed, the manufacturing speed of ordnance will increase several levels.

At present, the only thing that gives Han Zhen a headache is the war horse.

Today, he only has 37 war horses in his hands.

Among them, eighteen horses were brought by Nie Dong and other Western troops, and the remaining nineteen horses were the horses captured by the bandits in Heishanzhai during the battle a few days ago.

These 37 war horses were treated like treasures.

The reason why there are hundreds of war horses in Heishan Village is that Mr. Xu has slowly accumulated them by sending them one by two over the years.

In fact, there was no shortage of horses in the Northern Song Dynasty. Since the implementation of the Horse Administration, the number of horses has increased exponentially.

During Song Zhenzong's time, there were more than 6000 soldiers raising horses alone, and about 20 military horses.

This is also where Song Zhenzong dared to make the Northern Expedition.

In the Shenzong period, due to the party struggle between the new party and the old party, the horse administration was abolished, and finally it was completely ruined.

The perfect system built since the Taizu period also collapsed.

Although the horse administration is still going on, it is not as professional as it was in the early days. Those horses supported by the people can't meet the needs of war horses at all.

After all, it is difficult for the people to support themselves, so how can they have extra energy to raise horses.

I can't even eat enough, so how can I have food to feed the horses?
Therefore, most of the horses raised by the common people today are inferior horses, which can only be used for pulling carts and short-distance rides, and it is laborious to plow the fields.

What the Northern Song Dynasty really lacked was good horses capable of fighting!
There are only four horse prisons in the entire Jingdong East Road, and there are about [-] war horses raised.

I can't get it through other channels, so I can only try to bribe the officials of the Horse Supervisor to see if I can get a war horse.

A thousand cavalry!
Only one thousand cavalry, five thousand infantry, plus black powder.

Han Zhen has the confidence to win the entire Shandong!
"The county magistrate!"

The soldiers guarding the city saw them from a distance, and they waved happily one by one.

At the gate of the city, Han Zhen ordered: "Zhang He, change defense!"

"Order!"

Zhang He clasped his fists in response, and immediately ordered his team to take over the positions of the three teams.

Looking at the soldiers who had changed defenses, Han Zhen ordered: "You have worked hard for the past few days, and I will allow you a half-day vacation. Gather in front of the county government before the first hour, and those who fail to meet the deadline will be dealt with by military law!"

"Order!"

Hearing that there was a half-day holiday, the soldiers all smiled.

After they dispersed in twos and threes, shoulder to shoulder, Han Zhen came to the county government on horseback.

"The county magistrate!"

The yamen servant on duty in front of the yamen saw him and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Ok!"

Han Zhen nodded with a smile and got off the horse.

A yamen servant immediately stepped forward, reached out to take the reins, and led the horse to the stable

Another yamen servant came in to report.

Stepping into the county office, Han Zhen found that there were many new faces in the county office.

It seems that Changzhi County is moving very quickly, and has already begun to rectify the subordinate officials.

When these new subordinates are familiar with the errands, the good days of the old fritters will be reversed.

Changzhi County came out from the lobby to greet him, and said solemnly: "Han Erlang just happened to come, and the county is preparing to send people to Xiaowang Village to look for you."

Seeing this, Han Zhen's heart sank: "What happened?"

Changzhi County greeted: "Let's come in and talk about it."

After leaving Gu Song in the lobby, Han Zhen walked into the study with Chang Zhixian.

After the two of them were seated, Fu Bo brought a cup of tea, then turned around and went out, and at the same time closed the study door behind his back.

"This is a letter from Liu Mi, the general judge of the state government today. Please read it."

As Chang Zhixian said, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Han Zhen took the letter, unfolded it and read it word by word.

After a while, Han Zhen put down the letter with a strange expression on his face.
