When Su Yuqing heard Lu Yuan say this, she also tightened her eyebrows, her red lips were about to open, as if she wanted to say something more about the reason for her decision, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing her pondering, Lu Yuan just smiled, and then suddenly signed on it.

Su Yuqing's eyes showed a look of surprise: "Don't you doubt his reliability?"

"His family has never been back since they lived with him, and now they are all under our control, and he doesn't dare to do anything, not to mention, if he is a smart man, he should know what is best for him. ”

Lu Yuan threw the document on the table as he spoke: "I have already signed it, and I will tell the strict prison student for me, it is best not to be careful, otherwise, when he sees me, it will be when he dies." ”

After speaking, Lu Yuan pulled off his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

Su Yuqing glanced at his cold back stupidly, and only replied after a long time: "Okay!"

Three days later, Yan Jiansheng went to Zhejiang, and two months later he brought back the first batch of craftsmen and homeless people recruited from outside, as well as grain, salt and iron purchased from outside.

"Several thousand households in Dinghai Housu, Zhongzhong and Zhongzuo have all been sorted out in Xia, and they have not blamed them too much, and they have not blocked the recruitment of craftsmen and homeless people in the name of opening a weaving workshop, but they hope that this business will have their share of benefits in the future. ”

Yan Jiansheng bowed down and stood in front of Lu Yuan and Su Yuqing at this time, and recalled in detail about his trip.

"Nature can give them a benefit, but what do they want from this benefit?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Yan Jiansheng replied with a smile: "According to their intentions, they want us to buy grain from them, they are all large local grain families, and all the fields in the vicinity belong to their families, as long as we are willing to buy their grain at a high price, they naturally have nothing to say, even if we take away the soldiers and civilians of their envoys, they will not care too much." ”

"That's a way to do it. ”

Lu Yuan nodded.

"The solution is indeed a solution, I guess you have talked to them in private, and you plan to take kickbacks here. ”

Su Yuqing asked.

Yan Jiansheng thought to himself that the butler Miss Su beside the governor was really not easy to deal with, so he had to reply: "How dare you have such greed, if you are found out in the future, won't you be joking with your own head?"

"It's good if you understand, you can have a good talk with Su Yuqing later, if they really want to do business in our hands to make money, I will let them do it, as long as everyone is safe, not only food can make money like this, copper and iron things and even tea and salt can be." ”

Lu Yuan replied, he didn't have the same worries as Su Yuqing now, he was worried that Yan Jian Sheng would have two hearts, because the system had already set up a defensive wall for him, and only those who came to his villa would immediately die if they had calculations.

This is also why Lu Yuan asked Su Yuqing to remind him of the strict prison students before this.

Next, Yan Jiansheng really took Lu Yuan and Su Yuqing's instructions to continue to contact the Ming court officials, secretly colluding with these Ming court officials to do smuggling business, as well as directly bribe.

As an overseas Chinese businessman who has been doing smuggling business with the Jiangnan gentry in Hu'an Town for many years, Yan Jiansheng is naturally familiar with this aspect, and soon, his business business will be done in the six yamen of Nanjing.

Of course, Yan Jiansheng himself also made a lot of money because of this, after all, he has a small number of shares in the general store, although it is small, but as his business gets bigger and bigger, he naturally makes more and more money, and he also does some other smuggling business that is not controlled by the governor's palace, such as rouge spices.

Now the entire Hu'an Town is just one of his overseas Chinese businessmen, so he can't help Lu Yuan with all his heart, he doesn't want Lu Yuan to find other businessmen to do this, not to mention, his family is still here.

Of course, because of this, Yan Jiansheng did not take the initiative to inform others that he was the person sent by Lu Yuan, he was afraid that other businessmen would come and take away the opportunity for him to dominate the market in Hu'an Town.

Even if it was to recruit craftsmen and homeless people, Yan Jiansheng also made up other reasons, and did not reveal the slightest news about Hu'an Town, so few people still knew that Lu Yuan and others were training troops in Hu'an Town in an attempt to rebel.

"Master, do you really plan to continue working with these strangely dressed Han people? Those people only know how to farm and work and eat well, but I can see that they are recruiting and training troops, and the area around Yaowang Valley is still full of iron, they are going to rebel!"

As soon as Yan Jiansheng returned to the mansion that day, his wife Yan Feng asked him.

"Shh

Yan Jiansheng hurriedly silenced for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about! Didn't you listen to the people in Lujia Village, the Heavenly Emperor who is in charge of the immortals, otherwise where did those artifacts come from? For example, there are no horses that can run away with just drinking oil, you are talking nonsense here, be careful that the Emperor of Heaven will destroy our family after he finds out!"

"But, but this rebellion is to kill the head. ”

Yan Feng still couldn't help but say a word.

Yan Jiansheng immediately covered his mouth, looked around, and then said: "No matter what you do, this business we do is originally to pin our heads to the waistband of our trousers, and wherever we go, it counts." ”

"You've done a good job, this bottle contains the medicine to cure your father for the next few days, but you have to keep it a secret, if they find you, if they don't kill you, I will kill you." ”

In a house in Hu'an Town, Wen Qian handed a bottle of amoxicillin that she had been prescribed by a doctor and then refilled in an empty glass bottle to a maid in the Yan Jian Sheng's Mansion.

The maid took the perfume and smiled happily, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave knows, thank you to the ministry." ”

Wen Qian smiled and waved her hand: "Go down, do a good job, maybe I will make you my right-hand man in the future, and even make your master afraid of you, your father's illness is much better?"

"If you go back to the Ministry, you have been much better since taking the medicine given by the Ministry. ”

The maid hurriedly replied.

"Very good, go back and do a good job, if things are done well, not only will your father live a long life in the future, but you will also live a long life. ”

Wen Qian said.

The maid replied "yes", and then left here, she naturally believed in Wen Qian's words, because she did see with her own eyes that her already terminally ill father would really get better after taking amoxicillin, and naturally believed that Wen Qian could make their father and daughter live a long life, so she was more willing to continue to work for Wen Qian.

After Wen Qian came back, she told Lu Yuan about it.

"It seems that, as I expected, the strict prison student is indeed a person who knows what is at stake."

Lu Yuan looked at Wen Qian as he spoke: "However, Sister Qian is even more powerful, and she arranged her eyeliner in the Yan Mansion with a plate of amoxicillin." ”

Wen Qian glanced at Lu Yuan, and put her white hands on the knees under the short cotton skirt charmingly: "If I don't have these means, can I still be your military advisor, the resources that should be used are to be used, isn't it." ”

"Since that's the case, there will be more and more people in our system in the future, and this person will be separated from his belly, and the matter of internal intelligence monitoring will depend on you, Sister Qian. ”

Lu Yuan said.

"Don't worry! Widow Sun in Hu'an Town has some liking for Shan Lizheng, I gave her a set of perfume, and now this Shan Lizheng has made her belly bigger, Wen Jueshu's daughter has very heavy menstrual pain, and she will come to me every month to exchange the news she knows for my painkillers. ”

Wen Qian nodded, and said some information she already had.

Lu Yuan nodded.

Su Yuqing didn't know these things, she only knew that Wen Qian liked to come into contact with these Ming Dynasty natives every day, and even dressed herself up as an ancient.

What Su Yuqing wants to do more is to use this opportunity to establish a social order that is suitable for her and Lu Yuan's current development goals.

"The first batch of craftsmen recruited by Yan Jiansheng has played a great role, and now the entire Ordnance Bureau has 100 groups of firearms working groups, which can produce 100 flintlock guns every two months, in addition, the gunpowder factory also has ten working groups, specializing in the manufacture of gunpowder, and the artillery factory also has five working groups, specializing in the production of artillery, at present, these five working groups are all manufacturing tiger squat guns, and I have also added six inspection teams, and the members of the inspection team are craftsmen and military personnel, who are responsible for inspecting the pass rate of finished products, and the qualified equipment will be sent to the armory by the army sent by Xiaoying for safekeeping。 ”

Lu Yuan listened to Su Yuqing's report while looking at the entire large military industrial base that had almost expanded by twenty times, and saw that everyone was swinging a hammer in front of the hand-cranked blast stove, so he nodded in shock:

"Now the number of troops that urgently need equipment is 1,180 people, according to the combination model of the Mandarin Duck Array provided by Xiaoying, about 170 flintlock muskets are needed, it seems that it will not be a problem to conduct combined training for the People's Army in two months, but during this time, cold weapons such as shields, Qi knives and spears must also be prepared. ”

"Of course, the craftsmen who were eliminated due to their poor efficiency or comprehension ability in the manufacture of flintlock pistols were all assigned to the armor factory, and they were responsible for making armor, shields, Qi knives, spears, and daggers for survival in the wild or for capturing the enemy. ”

Su Yuqing turned around as she spoke, letting the snowflakes fall on the thick white mink fur behind her ears, and only looked at Lu Yuan with affection.

Lu Yuan saw that she was wearing a white long down jacket, but her face still looked as white as jade and ruddy as xia, so he only smiled:

"Although the time and space here and the outside world are the same as the sunset, in the end, it is the same as the historical record, the Ming Dynasty world where the Xiaoice River climate is raging is colder, and the urban world outside has already bloomed cherry blossoms. ”

Su Yuqing smiled: "Yes, it's colder to sleep alone here at night." ”

Two months later, the strict prison students brought back a group of craftsmen, and the scale of the Ordnance Bureau was further expanded, and with the increase of skilled technicians and the conversion of many apprentices, the production of flintlock pistols per month reached 200.

And Xiaoying also officially began to reorganize the recruits who had been trained for half a year by the People's Army and the veterans of the original security team into the first regiment of the People's Army, and the first regiment also officially began the training of the combined arms of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Every day, Xiao Ying will take this first regiment on the school field to practice the training of sword and shield bearers, flag gunners, spearmen, firearms soldiers, and firefighters to cooperate with attack and defense.

Because these soldiers are all from farmers, they are all relatively honest and honest, plus after strict training, the training of the military formation is also very effective, and Xiao Ying is still not soft at this time, although she has a Lori face, but the management of these soldiers is very strict, and the lightest of those who have a slight irregular action is to rip off their pants and beat sixty boards and confinement for three days, and the most serious is to cut off their heads.

Looking at the bloody heads on one side and the white-flour steamed buns and braised pork on the other, the officers and soldiers of the People's Army could only train and study the thoughts of the leader Lu Yuan desperately in order to fill their stomachs and not lose their heads.

Su Yuqing's side also began to use the displaced people brought back by Yan Jian Sheng to expand the scale of farming development, the number of iron mine miners in Yuqiu Mountain has tripled, and the number of workers in various factories and workshops is also increasing.

A comprehensive store has also been opened, which is responsible for selling grain, salt and sugar and other important materials to the military and civilians in Hu'an Town.

"Didn't you hear you when you lined up, this is written in black and white!"

Bai Zhaodi, the girl who had been rewarded by Lu Yuan's White Rabbit Milk Candy before, was holding a bamboo board and knocking it on the counter, and yelled at the large group of soldiers and civilians crowded in front of the counter.

A woman couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhao Di, we are all old people in Lujia Village, you are now studying and being sent to this comprehensive store as a salesman, you can't deny us, let's buy some grain first, wait in the back, don't wait until it gets dark, I have to buy grain back quickly, so that I can go to the mine to transport iron ore to the iron factory, one copper plate per car, I can earn a few more copper plates by transporting a few more cars." ”

"Then we'll have to get in line!"

Bai Zhaodi said: "If you don't line up, this grain won't be sold today!"

"Bai Zhaodi, I'm your aunt!"

The woman was visibly dissatisfied.

"It doesn't matter who you are, this is the rule that Sister Yuqing said, all queue up!"

Bai Zhaodi replied.

"You!"

Seeing this, Aunt Shan and a few other soldiers and civilians who were unwilling to line up had to retreat and line up obediently, and then the whole order returned to normal.

Bai Zhaodi also took out the scales and pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "Come one by one, read the name first, the food and oil and salt are limited to purchase, and each household is not allowed to buy more. ”

"Who can afford to eat a pound and a penny! This strict prisoner can really make money. ”

One of the people couldn't help but speak.

And here, there are already soldiers and civilians who are in front of the queue one after another to buy grain and salt.

Lu Yuan, who happened to be passing by here, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, and asked Su Yuqing: "It turns out that her name is Bai Zhaodi?"

"Why, you don't even know her name?"

Su Yuqing smiled and asked.

"I didn't ask at the time, otherwise when I gave you the option to let her manage the comprehensive store for you, I wouldn't just say that I rewarded her with White Rabbit Milk Candy. ”

Lu Yuan said.

Su Yuqing smiled coquettishly: "I see, but she is thinking about you, when I went to her house, I saw a lot of Lu characters written on the walls of her house, she said that she was your appearance to make her read and write, presumably the Lu characters written are also because of you, or, you go to meet her, encouragement?"

"No need, you're the head of the interior, I'm going to encourage her. ”

Lu Yuan said and left.

Su Yuqing followed: "I suggest that after Xiaoying's military formation training of the first regiment is over, wait for another three months to attack the Linhai Zhongzuo Station." ”

"Why?"

Lu Yuan asked.
