Chapter 1272 - Recruit the township to guard the township
The building of Wolong Village is now very peculiar, the periphery is the Yin and Yang Bagua, it is the scattered villagers, the center is the Nine Palace Bagua, it is the house of the Long Xiao family, and the outermost layer is a city wall, a circular city wall, which is rare in the Sui Dynasty, and the eight city gates are very peculiar in architecture. After the completion of the construction, Long Xiao once asked Long Haiming what to say, Long Haiming said, one is to correspond to the gossip map, and the other is for the convenience of the villagers. Every morning, the eight gates are opened, and the villagers in the village can travel, and at night the gates are closed, which is quite safe.
After the village was built, there was a problem that needed to be solved urgently, that is, a serious shortage of people. Not to mention the patrol on the city wall, it takes 32 people to go to the eight city gates, which is a big problem for Wolong Village, which only has more than 4ooo people. At the beginning, Long Haiming arranged it like this, one person from each family, 1oo people were sent to patrol every day, and a group was rotated every ten days, and the people in the village basically agreed, but later, people gradually got tired of it, so they proposed to Long Haiming, anyway, there is money in the village, why not hire some martial artists, one can teach the children in the village, and the other can take care of the family.
Long Haiming's initial worry was that the nurses hired were all outsiders, and whether they could do their best was a question, or whether their own family was reliable. Originally, the Long family had 5oo soldiers sent by the backer prince, stationed in Wolong Village, which was a great deterrent to some thieves and gangsters, and there were almost no fights in Wolong Village, and there was no theft. However, the 5oo soldiers were there to protect the county lord, and Long Yun had already taken office, so the 5oo officers and soldiers withdrew.
However, Wolong Village already has the habit of being protected, so someone proposed to recruit Xiangyong. Long Haiming couldn't make up his mind, so he came to the magistrate's yamen, asked to see Long Xiao, and asked Long Xiao for advice that he didn't want to recruit Xiangyong. Long Xiao: "Old man, I think it's okay, the recruited Xiangyong, as long as it is strictly managed, there is no problem with taking care of the home, besides, it is a peaceful year, as long as you guard against some thieves, and it is not a war, there is no problem, what are you worried about?" ”。
Long Haiming: "Now the offspring, the more you learn, the lazier you become, it's not a difficult thing to take care of your own home, you actually spend money to hire others, I think this example can't be broken, let the people in the village learn lazy, but it's a bad habit." Long Xiao said with a smile: "Hehe, look at your old man, there is so much money in our village, and your old man has built the village so well, I don't think it's a problem to recruit a few villagers, the problem is that we manage, as long as the management is good and the salary is in place, there is no problem, you can rest assured."
When Long Haiming saw that Long Xiao also supported the recruitment of Xiang Yong, he had nothing to say. After going back, he recruited 3oo village warriors, of which 1oo were martial artists, who specialized in teaching the children in the village to practice martial arts and take care of the home, 1oo people who patrolled the city and fought the watch, and the other 1oo were the guards of the four city gates. It turned out that the Long family also had 2oo nursing homes, which were also included in the village management, and became a team of 5oo people. It can be said that as long as the current Wolong Village is not robbed by a large number of bandits, if there are some small thieves, it will be impossible for Wolong Village to make trouble at all.
The reason why Long Xiao agreed to the city wall of the village during the banquet is not to prevent bandits, but actually for the reason of feng shui, because the Taiji diagram must be round, in order to prevent luck from flowing away, and the main purpose of building the city wall is a feng shui effect. According to the concept of Feng Shui Yang House, the former Vermilion Bird and the rear Xuanwu, the left green dragon and the right white tiger. To put it bluntly, there is clean water in the south, clean mountains in the north, flowing water in the east, and roads in the west. If there is a moat around the village, it is also a saying. However, when Long Haiming designed, he considered that the water source might be insufficient, and it was better to build a city wall to be magnificent and have a protective effect, so he adopted such a format.
Long Haiming also consulted Long Xiao, and felt that the village moat was not as affordable as the city wall, although it cost millions more, it was even more spectacular. Besides, Long Xiao only wants to do this, he also wants to do something for the villagers, he is a person from Wolong Village, and he can't get over it when he sees that his village is still the same, and he can't get over it without an exhibition. There happened to be a character like Long Haiming, which was also in harmony with Long Xiao's wish. In Long Xiao's heart, as long as the villagers live and work in peace and contentment, it is better than everything, and as for how much money he spends, it is secondary.
The news that Wolong Village has become a Taiji Bagua map is like having wings, and it has spread all over Dalu County, and many people have come to visit Wolong Village with curious thoughts. The clever villagers of Wolong Village immediately thought of the word "making money". It's very simple, outsiders enter the village to charge a fee for entering the village, not much, as long as 1o and copper plates, don't look at much, there are more than 30,000 people to visit every day, there are 3o copper plates every day, that is 3ooo two silver per day, for the Long family, it is not much, but for Wolong Village, it is a lot of income, and there are 90,000 taels of income every month.
Even the governors of the provinces and counties heard about it, and came to Wolong Village to watch, after Long Xiao received the notice, he personally accompanied him, and the governor Guo Zihan was very emotional: "Lord Long, your handwriting is big, it is not a loss to the master of the dynasty, and he has built his hometown so well, just by investing 2ooo million at once, it is not something that ordinary people can do." At this point, Long Xiao agrees, although Long Xiao has money, but there are so many officials in the country, and there are no longer a few officials with hundreds of millions of taels of silver at home, if they are asked to take out 2ooo million taels of silver to do something for their hometown, they may not be willing to take it out.
This is the nature of human beings, even Governor Guo himself, and he can't do it, so he has such feelings. Long Xiao said with a smile: "Lord Guo has won the award, my silver is from the emperor's reward, there are not a few over the years, it is normal for me to take out 2ooo thousand taels, besides, the villagers have a good life, and it will also provide a good living environment for our Long family, which is also worth the money." Guo Zihan: "You can't say that, there are more rich people, you can take out so much at once, it's still high-spirited, even if it's me, I may not be willing to do this, but you reminded me that one day in the future, I will go back to my hometown and do this, you are my role model." Long Xiao smiled: "Master Guo is not old, and there are still decades of errands to do, so he can talk about Zhishi, I think about it now, it's a little early."
Guo Zihan still has a good impression of Long Xiao's words, although Long Xiao is a concubine, he still respects himself very much, and he is also happy in his heart. Long Xiao said that he could still be an official for decades, which sounded comfortable, who wouldn't want to stay in office for a few more years? A governor, the silver he catches every year is not more than 10 million, and the extra year is 10 million taels of silver, Guo Zihan is happy when he thinks about it.
After Guo Zihan left, the prefect Xu Rushan also came to visit, and when he saw Long Xiao, he said directly: "Brother Long Xian, your horse master is amazing, and he built a Wolong Village like the legendary immortal residence, I heard that there are more than 30,000 people who come to visit every day, which is a good way to make money, 1oo taels of silver a year, and the cost will be recovered in these 2o years, or will you settle the account." As soon as Xu Rushan met, he calculated an account for Long Xiao, Xu Rushan looked at the problem from the silver, and it was different from the governor.
Governor Guo Zihan saw how Long Xiao donated money, and the prefect Xu Rushan saw Long Xiao We make money, and the perspective of the two people is different. In Xu Rushan's view, Long Xiao did this, just one more channel to make money, although Long Xiao may not want this money himself, but seeing that Wolong Cun can earn a lot of silver every day, he is also envious, this may be the difference between the governor and the prefect. When the prefect came, the Long family naturally wanted to entertain, basically the same as finding the governor of the province and county, not only Long Xiao but also Long Xiao's father, of course, the elders of the village, especially the old patriarch Long Haiming naturally wanted to ...
