People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 155 Colonial Committee Monthly Summary!Ouchi's peace envoy has arrived!
After hearing Mu Ying's words, Chen Han smiled slightly, then walked up to Mu Ying and said: "Mu Shuai, you have been elected as the chairman of the Japanese slave branch of the Ming Dynasty Colonial Area Committee. You don't need to focus too much on it." on it.

You have to know that as the commander-in-chief of this Eastern Expedition, you already have a very high prestige. At the same time, you sent troops to capture these prisoners. You said that if you don’t become the chairman, then who will? suitable?
In fact, your task is not to directly command these people. Even if your subordinates may leave the Japanese slaves and return to the Ming Dynasty in another six months or a year, it will be quite useful for you, the chairman, to guard here.

You must use your supreme majesty to arrange all the work in order.

And even if you do nothing, with your mountain guarding us, everyone will have more confidence in their work. "

After hearing this, Mu Ying could actually understand that what was needed was not his specific participation in these tasks.

But let everyone know that the chairman is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, with an army of [-] under his command, which is extremely powerful.

These talents below do not dare to have any thoughts of making trouble.

The same reason why Chen Han even selected the two thousand officers and soldiers of the Law Enforcement Department from the Eastern Expeditionary Army and put them in charge of guards and responsible for shooting or punishing prisoners who disobeyed orders.

Just to use the majesty of the Eastern Expeditionary Army to frighten the prisoners.

In fact, these days, there are still more than 2 Japanese soldiers among the prisoners.

When these guys arrived at this place and found that the Ming Dynasty's army was actually not very large, some people had the idea of ​​​​making trouble.

He wanted to start a riot and incite the prisoners to rebel.

But they didn't expect that as soon as they had such determination, they were caught by the Liaison Department, which was the observation tower on the top of the mountain. They could see everything clearly with binoculars, and the people from the Liaison Department immediately caught the clue.

Then the law enforcement department caught more than 100 leaders on the spot, pulled them to the main square, and shot them in front of all the prisoners.

When the fire cannon directly smashed the heads of the leaders, all the prisoners were shocked.

From then on, they were able to feel at ease without any resistance.

When it came to the tasks assigned by Chen Han and others, they did not resist at all.

Chen Han did not blindly use high-pressure policies. Instead, he distributed the seized food according to everyone's workload and performance, so that they could have food to eat and stop living like beasts.

Such a policy has won the support of many people.

In fact, because of the current Japanese slaves, the daimyo and the wealthy people below are exploiting ordinary people, and they really treat these people as serfs.

Without any dignity, they beat and scolded and killed wantonly.

After arriving at Tangli Base, they were able to eat food. After they no longer ate the dirty, smelly, and sour food, they felt grateful to the Ming Dynasty.

Quite a bit of Stockholm Syndrome.

Because of the active cooperation of the captives, Chen Han and his team's work went smoothly.

After all department supervisors and team leaders arrived at the meeting venue, Chen Han started the meeting.

"Everyone, I have asked the contact group to tell all of you that this meeting is mainly to report on the progress of this month and discuss next month's plan, so let's not talk nonsense. Now we will The director of the project department began to introduce the work you have completed during this period."

After saying that, Chen Han sat down.

Then the director of the project department, a shrewd middle-aged man in his forties, stood up.

He had already memorized the key points reported and summarized by their department documents, so he stood up and said: "Mu Shuai, Mr. Chen, and all the supervisors and team leaders, since Mr. Chen wants us to report, then I will Here is a report on the progress of our project department over the past month, and I hope you can provide more opinions."

After saying these words, the director of the project department began to talk eloquently, "We have two main projects this month, one is obstacle clearance work, and the other is road construction work.

The main task of clearing obstacles was to open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water. After a month of hard work, we cut down all the obstructing trees along the 28-mile stretch from Tangli to the entire Ishimi Mountain.

After it was transported to our base, we would first like to thank the Exploration Department for its support to our project department. "

As he said this, he cupped his fists and raised his hands to the director of the exploration department. The director of the exploration department smiled and said, "That's all within one's duties."

The director of the project department said: “Thanks to the efforts of the brothers in the exploration department, we have been able to reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

The routes they laid out and the felling targets they planned made the felling team of our project department work very smoothly.

At the same time, we would also like to thank the brothers from the Department of Transportation for their efforts. After we felled the trees, they quickly trimmed and transported the trees, which reduced the difficulty of our clearing work. "

As he spoke, he cupped his fists and raised his hands to the director of the Department of Transportation, and everyone was polite.

Then he continued: "After the clearing work was completed, we carried out work such as leveling the roadbed and removing gravel and tree roots according to the repair route set by the brothers in the exploration department. After a month of progress, we have completed the laying of the roadbed foundation for twelve miles. , a large amount of gravel was cleared above the roadbed.

At the same time, with the efforts of our second road construction team, we have sorted and screened the sandy loam soil needed for road construction, and have accumulated enough sandy loam soil.

Thanks also to the brothers in our warehousing department who spared no effort to store this batch of sandy loam soil in our warehouse so that it would not get exposed to rain.

So that when it is time to lay, it can be quickly put out. "

As he spoke, he bowed to the director of the warehousing department with his hands clasped and his fists clasped, and everyone was polite.

“The next thing we have to do is to make further progress next month and clean and level the remaining fifteen miles of roadbed.

At the same time, we need to reserve more sandy loam soil. This is our task next month.

To be honest, after Mr. Chen carefully broke down the work of each department, our coordination and communication with each department responded very quickly.

So there is no problem. On the contrary, this new road construction cooperation plan allows us to find and solve problems more quickly. We feel that it is very fresh.

So I am still very grateful to Mr. Chen for giving people like us such an opportunity.

I would like to thank all the brothers for their support of our project department. "

After the project director finished speaking, everyone applauded.

Afterwards, Chen Han asked the Finance Department to summarize the property received this month and the distribution management work.

The director of the Finance Department stood up and said, "Everyone knows that in the past month, our Tommy Base has gained a large amount of property through the Eastern Expedition Army led by Commander Mu, attacking the thirteen cities of Shijian Kingdom. Overall, Generally speaking, property mainly falls into the following categories.

The first is grain, which is the largest. After this month of collection work, we have obtained about 500 million jins of grain. "

As he spoke, he looked at the Logistics Management Department. The director of the Logistics Management Department nodded and said, "According to our review of the food, there is indeed so much."

Then the director of the property department said: "In addition, there are 260 taels of gold and 1304 million taels of silver.

As well as a number of tortoise shells, jewelry, fans and other commodities, the overall value of which cannot be estimated.

But in general, for our base, these assets are enough to sustain us for two years.Our assets are currently mainly used for purchases between brothers and North Korea through Tsushima Island.

Now, 20 taels of silver have been approved for the brothers on Tsushima Island to purchase food and necessary tools.

You can even purchase iron ore directly for smelting and making tools at our Tangli base.

The brothers in the logistics support department still need to make a detailed report on how many tools are needed.

Next, I want to report on our major expenses.

The biggest expense we consume is salary and food consumption.

The monthly salary of each of the eight thousand craftsmen is one tael of silver, the management team leader is 9000 taels of silver, and the department head is [-] taels of silver. The monthly consumption is about [-] taels.

As for the 1 Eastern Expeditionary Army, their monthly military pay ranged from one tael to ten taels, and they required a monthly expenditure of 5000 taels of silver.

The two expenditures are combined, and the monthly expenditure is about 4000 taels.

As for the food we need every month, based on the current food transportation from North Korea, the monthly food consumption is about 3 taels.

All consumption added up should be about 5000 taels.

Based on our current assets, the assets we have now can guarantee our consumption for two years. "

The director of the finance department was very proud after saying these words.

The base currently holds a huge property of 140 million taels of silver.

But now the monthly consumption of this base is only 5000 taels.

Even if more prisoners are added later, it will only increase food consumption.

These prisoners do not need to pay salaries, which is the best way to save money.

In fact, neither Chen Han nor Mu Ying expected that the Eastern Expedition against Japanese slaves would go so smoothly, especially the five thousand elite soldiers of the Ouchi clan, who came to fight with them like a joke so that they could capture Ouchi Yoshihiro. brother.

Use him to trick all the city gates into opening, and then loot all the property there without using a single soldier or a shot.

In total, the property of more than a dozen cities was looted, and there was only a mere 140 million taels of silver property, which can be said to be quite small.

But this is enough to support the entire base and all expenses, and it is still two years.

Whether it is the department head or the team leaders below, in fact, when they came here, they never thought that there would be such rich rewards.

You can get a minimum salary of one tael a month, and it's still money. What's the concept?
In their hometown, they can't earn a salary of one tael a month even if they work hard.

But after traveling across the ocean and coming here, I was able to get such a high salary.

So just for this salary, they all had to work hard for the Colonial District Committee without complaint.

Mu Ying was even more pleased, because the soldiers under his command now only received basic wages. Each soldier could get a minimum of one tael of silver a month, and an officer could get a maximum of ten taels of silver a month. moon.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for even a fifth-rank official to have such a salary.

120 taels a year, and it's still money. It would be incredible to have such purchasing power in the Ming Dynasty.

Basically, for many ordinary people, it is impossible for you to earn 50 taels of silver in your lifetime.

As for them, the most ordinary soldiers only get one tael a month and 12 taels a year.

The most important thing is that once silver is mined in the Iwami Silver Mountain of the Japanese slaves, their Eastern Expedition Army can get a [-]% commission every year.

If 800 million taels of silver are mined in a year, then they can get 80 taels, which is a lot for everyone.

Commission plus monthly salary, basically everyone will get a salary of 20 taels at least a year later.

So Mu Ying was quite excited after hearing the report from the head of the finance department.

He felt that after he finished the meeting, he had to ask the person who recorded the meeting to make a copy of the work report reported by the financial director and take it to the military camp for publicity.

He believed that with such propaganda, the soldiers would probably be too happy to sleep, and they would work harder.

Because you can not only make achievements in this place, but also make money at the same time. Where can you find such a good place?

Chen Han was also very excited. After the financial director finished his report, he saw that all the supervisors sitting below were grinning to the corners of their mouths.

This is the benefit of work reporting, clearly using data to speak.

Tell them clearly how much money you have now, how much you can get, and how much you will have in the future.

All other input items were clearly explained, followed by the introduction of the Exploration Department and Mining Department.

Chen Han attaches great importance to the exploration department and mining department, even more than the project department in this respect.

The director of the Exploration Department did not talk nonsense, but directly threw a bag of ore on the table, "I want to tell you some good news. After all the exploration by our colleagues in the Exploration Department, we all agreed that the Iwami Ginshan area is definitely a A huge silver mountain, its ease of excavation and the extent of its reserves are simply beyond all of our imaginations.

Mr. Chen, your plan to use Iwami Silver Mountain as a large-scale silver mine is really amazing. You are definitely foresighted.

Colleagues, to tell you the truth, as long as we can work conscientiously to mine the silver mine in Shijian Yinshan, I guarantee that when you go home every three years to visit relatives, each of you can take home no less than 500 taels of silver. bonus. "

After the director of the exploration department said this, everyone's eyes shone with silver light.

After three years, everyone will take home 500 taels of silver. What is the concept?
With 500 taels of silver in his hometown, he could at least be considered one of the top rich men in the county.

So after listening to the words of the director of the exploration department, everyone was stunned, even Mu Ying. He had forgotten that Chen Han had said that there was also the issue of bonuses.

Just when everyone was happy, there was a swishing sound outside and someone opened the big tent.

Mu Ying and Chen Han were both a little unhappy. This was a monthly summary meeting.

He had already set the rules at Tangli Base. The status of the committee was the same as that of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Therefore, everyone knew how important the monthly committee was. It was a bit abrupt to rush in like this.

Mu Ying's face darkened, but the soldier still stepped forward and expressed his apology to all the supervisors present, and then said: "Commander, Master Chen, sent by the Ouchi clan The envoy said he wants to negotiate peace with us!!"
