The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The girl's affair seems to be a trivial matter, but the fluctuation behind it is far from the surface. It can be said that "pulling a hair moves the whole body.".

For this, Li Yuanqing also did not dare to neglect, told Qu minqiu in detail, let her must stare at this matter well.

At breakfast, Li Yuanqing specially told Zhang yunniang to work together with Qu minqiu to make sure that the matter was under control.

Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu both know that this matter is of great importance, even it will directly affect the pattern of Changsheng island in the future. Naturally, the two women dare not play a small character any more, and solemnly accept the matter.

At ordinary times, Li Yuanqing usually accompanies the back house to have dinner.

It's mainly to stimulate the mood. We have a chance to meet each other every day.

It's also a disadvantage of having more women.

Otherwise, ten days and a half months, even a year, a few years can not see their own men, good feelings, that is the ghost.

But at this time, Changsheng island is busy with all kinds of affairs. Once Li Yuanqing goes out, it's almost one day. When he comes back, it's almost in the middle of the night. It's unrealistic for the whole family to have dinner together. Li Yuanqing changes the meal time of the whole family to about 8 o'clock in the morning.

At this time, the children are awake, and the women's dependents have come to work, which is just right.

Because of the limited conditions and in order to maximize the use of human resources, Li Yuanqing's back house is in the industries of Changsheng island. In addition to employing the on duty shopkeepers, clerks and "waiters", Li Yuanqing will also arrange one of his wives and concubines to help and sit in the shop if conditions permit.

From later generations, Li Yuanqing is very clear that women must give them these serious things to do, otherwise, they will have nowhere to vent their energy, and if the back house is not on fire, then there will be ghosts.

Of course, all this should be under the control of Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu. Li Yuanqing should give them enough respect.

With Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu in charge, Li Yuanqing doesn't have to worry that he will be wearing a green hat. Everything is under reasonable and orderly control.

With the power of Li Yuanqing, all shops and shops in Changsheng Island, except for the basic shopkeepers and clerks, will employ some female "waiters".

First, it is to create jobs. Second, for example, in these service industries, women's affinity is not much stronger than men's, which is pleasing to the eyes, and will also make the business better.

With these women's role models, Li Yuanqing has been thinking about how to improve the status of women in Changsheng Island, and even recruit women into the army.

For example, medical guards.

Although the auxiliary system of Changsheng island is developed, and Changsheng camp has basically realized semi firearm, this era still belongs to the era of delivery of cold weapons and hot weapons. Every war, even the Changsheng camp, will cause great casualties.

In this state, the participation of some female medical guards will, to some extent, mediate the feelings of the wounded soldiers. Moreover, in terms of medical care, women are obviously more careful than men.

With the addition of female medical guards and the improvement of treatment, it is bound to strengthen the centripetal force of Changsheng island and firmly surround the core of the island around Li Yuanqing.

No matter at this time or later generations, even if there is foresight, but Li Yuanqing is not a fairy, everything can not be all.

He has always believed that "when you can't control the overall situation, you should first do yourself well."

From Guangning joining Mao Wenlong's team to building a foundation in Changsheng Island, Li Yuanqing has always regarded this as his motto.

In fact, the effect of this sentence is quite good.

After breakfast with his wife and children, Li Yuanqing went directly to the official hall.

At this time, a large number of principal officers, the sixth merchant, the horse steward, and the civil officials of the various departments had arrived.

This is also a new rule after Li Yuanqing returned to the island.

In Changsheng Island, although Li Yuanqing is a highly respected and established foundation, but his expedition is more than half a year, imperceptibly, some affairs on the island, especially between people, inevitably have some fluctuations.

The control of personnel is even more important.

At this time, even though he was very busy and had to settle Zhenjiang people and deploy defense and many other tasks, Li Yuanqing still decided to hold an early meeting every day. Let's meet each other and make specific arrangements for the tasks and get familiar with them. Even if the time is very short, it is more conducive for Li Yuanqing to master the mood fluctuation of each person.

Thus, the overall situation is firmly in hand.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, people saluted one after another.

Shang Laoliu said with a smile: "general, today's tasks in military affairs are less, but more in civil affairs."

He said, pointing to the sand table on one side, "more than 20000 immigrants have been settled around nanxinkou city. More than 10000 people have also been settled on the plains in the southwest. There are still more than 10000, and we need to be resettled. However, general, it is up to you to decide whether to place them on the hillside to the west of the city or to the plain in the southwest. "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, indicating that Shang Laoliu was in urgent need.Shang Laoliu continued: "generals, colleagues, if the resettlement to the southwest beach plain is the most appropriate, will save us a lot of manpower. But in this case, it is bound to occupy a lot of good farmland that has been cleared up. If they were to be placed on the hillside to the west, they would not occupy good farmland. It's just that it takes a lot of time and effort, and it will inevitably take a lot of effort. "

When people heard the speech, they all had a lot of discussion.

Li Yuanqing's eyebrows also slightly wrinkled.

According to Li Yuanqing's original intention, the main purpose of moving the people of Zhenjiang city to Changsheng Island, regardless of the cost, was to increase the output of Changsheng Island, especially in agriculture.

Changsheng island is the seventh largest island in China. It has abundant resources. The population of Changsheng island at that time was only over 100000, which was one million or even two million. It was more than enough to support.

Not to mention, there are central island and West Island.

However, the problem now is that the traffic and other aspects of the island are restricted. Many areas in the west, northwest and southwest of the island are still densely covered with virgin forests, which have not been effectively developed.

At this time, although there was enough manpower, there was no excavator and crane of later generations. If we want to carry out large-scale construction, we need both manpower and animal power.

Although Changsheng island was full of materials at this time, the animal power was seriously insufficient, especially cattle, horses and mules, which had great strength and could work hard.

Although Li Yuanqing still had nearly 3000 horses at this time, these treasures were obviously unable to do the rough work.

At this time, when he heard that Shang Laoliu raised this question, Li Yuanqing was also a little sad.

As Shang Laoliu said, if you want to save time, it is the easiest to resettle immigrants in the southern plains. But don't forget that this is an agricultural society, far from the industrial society of later generations.

If the common people want to farm, they can't go far away?

Even if I go out in the morning, I'm afraid it's going to be dark. What else can I do?

Ma Guanjia said: "general, colleagues, according to the meaning of humble position, we'd better implement the original plan. The gentry, the rich and the businessmen, who were among the immigrants, moved to the areas near the city and the common people, according to the original plan, scattered the places where they would have land. It is indeed difficult to do so in the short term, but in the long run, it is time-saving and labor-saving. We don't have to try again. "

Duan Xiliang nodded, "what Ma ye said is good. But if so, it will take a lot of time. It's very likely that it will delay the spring ploughing this year. "

Because of the cold climate in Liaoning, most of the crops are cooked once a year, which is far from being compared with that in Jiangnan, let alone Hainan.

In this way, spring ploughing is particularly important.

Once missed, Li Yuanqing will have to pay for the food, drink and Lasa of these people in the coming year.

This is a heavy burden that Li Yuanqing can hardly bear.

However, if not, the arable land can only be in the nearby area, which is also very few. In addition, farmers can not effectively share the land, which is easy to breed bad hidden dangers.

Guan Canghai then said, "it's hard, it's always hard. I also suggest the original plan before leaving. Our Changsheng island has a developed fishery. Even if we don't plant crops and grow various vegetables, there is no big problem. This year is a difficult year, but next year is a good start. "

"General, your humble position also agrees with Mr. Ma's opinion. How can we be afraid of this moment when we have not suffered all the way

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "since we have no objection, we will implement it according to the original plan. Brothers, although the affairs are complicated, as long as you work together, you will be able to tide over the difficulties successfully! "

"Yes

……

The morning meeting was over and everyone went to work.

Li Yuanqing left Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi.

Coming to the "parking lot" outside the official hall, Li Yuanqing said, "brother Guan, brother Xu, have you ever heard of sweet potatoes?"

"Sweet potato? What is this? " Mr. Xu looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief.

He is a northerner, obviously a little confused.

But Guan Canghai was stunned. "General, what do you mean is a round, dark, radish like thing? It tastes soft and sweet, and tastes good? "

Li Yuanqing was overjoyed. "Canghai, have you seen this thing?"

Guan Canghai said, "general, I'm not sure about my humble position. In my early years, when I was living in the south, I had seen and eaten it in Fujian and Jiangnan. It's said that Xu Ge got these things from several Fujian merchants. They were popularized in Nanjing for a period of time. Many people planted them. But it's not good to be humble about the current situation. "

Li Yuanqing was overjoyed.

Sweet potato is sweet potato.

This kind of food is delicious and well fed. The key is that the yield is very high, and there is no need to take good care of it.

In his memory, Li Yuanqing vaguely remembers that it was Xu Guangqi who popularized this kind of crop. However, due to the limitations of the times, its strength was far from enough, and it did not become a life-saving straw at the end of Ming Dynasty.In fact, if the sweet potato could be spread in Shanxi, Shaanxi, including Henan and Huguang, the rebellion of the refugees in the late Ming Dynasty might not be so serious.

"Canghai, sunspot, this is really a lifesaver! In this way, Canghai, sunspot, you will immediately set out for Nanjing to buy these sweet potato seeds. The sooner the better, the more the better. As long as it is done, I will make a great contribution to you! "

Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi were stunned.

They never expected that their general would spend so much time on such a seemingly insignificant crop.

But Li Yuanqing made a speech, the two did not dare to neglect, hastened to call his relatives to clean up the sharp, straight to the dock.
