CHAPTER XXV
These days, the more than 50 old Han people living in the East Village are all "instructors" selected by Yang Yingqi, each of whom is responsible for teaching five new residents, and the teaching time is one month, and the content of the teaching has four points: first, the law is clear, so that they know what the Han Department allows and prohibits; the second is to know the work and rest and help them get used to the labor and life rules of the Han Department; The third is rewards and punishments, after the establishment of the village, the Han Department will no longer have all property publicly, but allow the existence of private property, and each tribe can get the corresponding remuneration for their contributions, and these systems must be known to the new villagers; The fourth is to select talents, that is, to select the smart and beautiful people among the new villagers. In addition, every evening the instructor would tell the new villagers about their experiences over the past year, ask them their surnames, and tell them about the great achievements of their ancestors. In an age when even material life is scarce, this level of spiritual transformation is quite effective - especially when the recipient finds that he can live a better life.
Zhou Sheng was very happy when he got one hundred and fifty new laborers, and the people under his leadership knew some farm work even if they were not farmers before, and it was very easy to get started. Wang Dahui of the Liuli House and Zhang Laoyu of the Forge House came to complain, although they have been working overnight during these days, and there is a shortage of manpower -- but the new 100-odd people are either ignorant of glass and iron, or half-baked.
Zhang Laoyu said: "If you want to teach them separately, I don't know how long it will take!" It doesn't matter in normal times, but now the front is constantly urging for weapons and bows and arrows, so you can't delay. Otherwise, these dozens of people will be put aside first, and then we will talk about it after the battle is over. ”
Yang Yingqi sneered when he heard this: "The battle is over? Who knows when the fight will be over! In the past, we didn't have a few blacksmiths in the Han Department, but didn't they all train you later? And to make glass, Dahui, you used to only understand it roughly, but then didn't you find it out? Now our glass is no worse than that of the Persian ships! ”
Zhang Laoyu said: "Train them? It took me more than half a year to bring those people out! It's not that idle right now. ”
Yang Yingqi muttered: "It is indeed not possible for everyone to be familiar with the whole process of smelting iron or making glass in a short period of time, so let's break down the process in detail, so that each of these novices only needs to be familiar with a small link, so that they are easy to get started, and the kung fu will not be delayed." ”
Zhang Laoyu and Wang Dahui glanced at each other and said together: "Is this okay?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Yes, just like that......" followed to explain to them the benefits of the assembly line process, and at the same time discussed with them how to split the process.
Ten days later, Yang Yingqi made some adjustments to some details of the East Village, and then the operation of the entire East Village began to move towards normalization. The inhabitants of the East Village have just escaped from captivity and have low expectations for life, so they are easily motivated.
The Jurchens of Huining were in close proximity to Han villages, and the villagers of the eastern villages often had access to Khitan and Xi captives. At the beginning, the status of the Khitan and Xi people in the army was generally higher than that of the Han and Bohai people, but now it is the opposite, and the gap between the two sides is not ordinarily large. Looking at the cattle and horses-like life of the former companions, it aroused the centripetal force of the new villagers towards Hanbu.
When Zhao Guan and Liu Cong came to Hanbu at risk, they were surprised to find that the village of Hanbu had not only not been depressed by the war, but had become more prosperous. At this time, it had only been more than half a month since this group of captives came to Hanbu, but most of them had already adapted to life here. A deputy chief is elected in each room, and after half a month, the instructor who is the head of the room leaves, and then he will take over as the new leader of the five people in the room. And Han Yong, the village chief of Dongcun, was also newly elected by everyone, he was only a lowest-level general in the Liao army, but he was quite organized and coarse, and he was the first to ask Yang Yingqi when he had the courage to speak.
The glazed products produced by the glazed house are both quality and quantity to the satisfaction of Zhao and Liu. After Yang Yingqi received tea, salt, medicine and other goods, Zhao Guan said: "Leader Yang, now that the war is imminent, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to communicate in the future." The next transaction, I'm afraid, will have to wait until after the war. ”
Yang Yingqi's heart sank, and he asked, "What rumors have you heard about the Khitans?" ”
Liu Congdao: "We can't inquire about the dynamics of the Liao Imperial Court, but the forbidden soldiers in Zhongjing and the Xi soldiers near Shangjing seem to have moved. In addition, all walks of life are also deploying troops, and it seems that Da Liao's actions this time are not small. Leader Yang, although the political situation of Daliao is corrupt, after all, it is one of the strongest countries in the world, and although the Jurchens are elite, their numbers are too small. So ......" He looked at Yang Yingqi's face and said quietly: "We businessmen shouldn't comment on such a military event. ”
Yang Yingqi said lightly: "It's nothing." You also mean well. "At this time, there were not many people who were optimistic about the Jurchen situation - including the Jurchens themselves.
Zhao Guan said: "The border of Liao has been banned, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for this tea and salt to come over in the future." Well, iron is also forbidden, but there is no shortage of Hanbu. ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The Liao State has always blockaded the birth of the Jurchen, and even the mature Nuzhen are not allowed to come and go, let alone the Han and Goryeo? But haven't you been here all these years? ”
Zhao Guan smiled bitterly and said, "Leader Yang, that's in normal times. Now that the Jurchens have made such a big move, things are a lot more troublesome after all. ”
Yang Yingqi heard him say "a lot of trouble", he knew that they were not completely unable to get by, but they were just bargaining, and said at the moment: "Okay, during the war, all our glass products were discounted by eighty percent, and in addition, we don't want salt, tea and other forbidden things." ”
Liu Congdao: "Then what does Leader Yang want?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "We don't want anything. ”
Zhao Guan and Liu Cong exclaimed: "What? They were worried that they would offend Yang Yingqi by saying something wrong just now, so he stopped doing their business.
Yang Yingqi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to cut off your supply." ”
Zhao Guan and Liu Cong both breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Guan said: "What does Chief Yang mean......"
Yang Yingqi said: "I mean, the goods, you have to come and get them, but you don't have to exchange them for the spot." As long as you remember the amount you owe, you can make up for it when the situation is a little looser. Of course, we would appreciate it if you could still help us smuggle supplies over in wartime. ”
Liu Cong was pleasantly surprised: "Can Leader Yang trust us? ”
"To do business, the most important thing is a letter. If I can't trust you, will I still do business with you? Yang Yingqi smiled slightly and said, "And what I trust more is the future of my department!" I believe that no one with a little foresight will do anything stupid to take advantage of our department! ”
Zhao Guan and Liu Cong hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
After the two left, they transferred the information from Ningjiang Prefecture, and this information was found by Ouyang Shi when he went deep into the Liao Realm and bought eyeliner from Guangmai.
It turned out that the Liao State had been commanded by Sikong Xiao Si first, and Xiao Tzu Buye, who had lost the battle last time, was the deputy commander, and sent 3,000 Khitan and Xi troops, 2,000 Zhongjing forbidden soldiers and local tyrants, and selected more than 2,000 Wuyong people from all roads, crossed the Yazi River, and marched in the direction of Chuhedian.
The Duck River is another name for the Mixed River, and the river store is in the west of Huining City and the north of the Duck River. Yang Yingqi took out a rough map of his own and combined Ouyang Shi's intelligence to deduce the route of the Liao army's march. Xin said: "Ningjiang Prefecture is in the south, if the Liao army comes from the west, there is no need to pass through Ningjiang Prefecture." It seems that the Liao army is not as passive as last time, but has taken the initiative to attack! ”
After thinking for a while, he came to the Huining Walled City to see Ah Guta, and before he entered the city, he saw the dust flying at the gate of the walled city, and said in his heart: "It seems that the information of the Jurchens is not worse than ours." Ah Guda has never lagged behind in his work, and this must be to meet the attack. It's just that I don't know how to arrange our department's personnel in Ningjiang Prefecture. ”
Seeing the crowd galloping close, the leader was indeed Aguta. He got out of the way and let the crowd ride over, Zong Xiong saw it, stopped and asked, "Ying Qi, how is Ah Hu?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Very good! No matter how busy I am, I go to see her every day. You can rest assured. Are you going to fight the Khitans? ”
Zongxiong nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Will my eldest brother go?" ”
Zongxiong said: "Go!" We'll meet halfway through. The Khitans are known as 100,000 troops, and we have to concentrate our forces to break the enemy. ”
Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "I wish you success!" I'll help Lord Sagai stabilize the affairs of the rear. ”
Listening to the sound of hooves heading west, Yang Yingqi said in his heart: "If we win the battle this time, I don't know how many prisoners will be sent over, but you have to prepare in advance." ”
In the hearts of most people, including Aguta, Da Liao is still a terrible behemoth. The army that the Jurchens can mobilize so far is only a few thousand people, and the Great Liao can come out of any one of them, that is, the "100,000 army"!
