The two people sitting in the humble reception room are Xue Haiyuan, the future stationmaster of Beijing Station, and Yao Jianjian, the current stationmaster of Tianjin Station.

Comrade Yao Jianjian's earliest profession was circuit design, and he was the last traverser of the intelligence bureau to flicker to the intelligence front by "digging potential from within".

After all, since last year, Emperor Cao has not "invited" people to the New World, so the Intelligence Bureau is now repeatedly defeated, flickering back and forth, and most of the arrogant and expensive old men are unwilling to be dog spies.

So the last intelligence person, Yao Jianjian, was assigned to the important location of Tianjin as soon as he came out of the mountain.

Fortunately, the difficulty of intelligence work in the seventeenth century was very low, and from the experience of those previous intelligence stations, in fact, the traverser who presided over the work did not need to take any risks and pressures, and the difficulty was no different from that of later branches.

So Yao Jianshe came to Beijing and Tianjin with the old bird Xue Haiyuan this time - the two families are close, and it is convenient to support each other in case of a situation.

Today's meeting with people from all walks of life is the first time that the two stationmasters have made a public appearance in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

Due to the shortage of manpower, according to the latest guidelines, future intelligence station commanders will have official public identities in order to implement the "one person, one city" strategy. The previous one-light and one-dark layout will be obsolete.

Therefore, the two stationmasters that Lu Shui, a small official of the Ming Dynasty, saw in the house, had already put on low-level civil official robes at this moment, and their titles had also become "General Soldier Yamen Experience Division Experience".

The Experience Division is a low-level civil service unit responsible for managing the transfer of documents. This unit is mainly used for docking with the paperwork and execution of higher departments, and it was quite extensive in the Ming Dynasty, somewhat similar to the offices of later generations - the principal's office, the education bureau office, and so on.

In short, almost most of the yamen in the Ming Dynasty would have set up subordinate experience divisions. In this way, the "experience" of the experience department, like the title of "director" in later generations, will change unpredictably with the different levels of the higher-level yamen.

For example, the Experience Division of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is a five-grade unit; And the Shuntianfu Experience Division, there are only seven products.

Therefore, according to this characteristic, the experience of the Division, which is inconspicuous and can mix everything with one hand, has become the best disguise for the two stationmasters on the surface.

In addition, this position is also very convenient to appoint, and the General Military Office Experience Division is the Qipin Yamen, which is considered a semi-independent subordinate officer recruited by General Cao himself, and he only needs to report to the governor's yamen, and does not need to go through the official department.

The receptionists that the local natives in Tianjin see in the school field today are the experiences of the two generals appointed by the military government.

After Lu Shui entered the house, the two of them, who still looked tall and white in the eyes of the northerners, first briefly exchanged a few words with him. Next, the amiable Xue and Yao talked about "homely things" with Lu Shui in a strange "southern dialect".

Lu Shui knew that this was at the "bottom of the plate", so he hurriedly gave a brief introduction to his own situation, and then appropriately expressed his "admiration" for the general-he knew that there was still a big man waiting outside, and the conversation would end soon, so he had to hurry up and express the "central idea".

Sure enough, five minutes later, the first contact between the two sides was over. Lu Shui happily left the house after receiving a promise that "good friends should move around often and take care of each other".

The two experienced fiddled with the tape recorder on the table, smiled and commented on Lu Shui, a smart little official, and said to the guard, "Please the next one."

Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses, who came to "King Qin", began the so-called "rest" in this way.

It didn't take three days for the civil and military officials of Tianjin Wei to be dumbfounded, and after Cao Zongbing entered the old school field, he did not see him training soldiers, but instead met with guests and businessmen, and made a sacred "trip to King Qin" into a business trip full of copper smell.

At this time, Mr. Cao's background was also completely blown up in Tianjin Wei, and everyone knew that he was rich.

In this way, Lord Cao inevitably attracted the attention of the natives, especially the civil and military officials of the Tianjin Wei area.

It's really that this southern soldier is too strange - traveling from place to place, those seemingly "scattering silver for nothing" behavior can always make the natives feel incredible.

Whether it is the repair of the large school yard or the filling of the muddy puddle, these are purely dead in the eyes of the officials, your surname is Cao, it is a guest army, and you can't stay in Tianjin, spending such a huge amount of money to repair the station, isn't this brain-dead?

The chief soldier in the world who is willing to pay out of his own pocket to repair the barracks in other towns is about this Cao fool who is not bad for money!

However, the traversal still went his own way, and it looked like he was going to carry out the stupid thing to the endOn the construction site in the cold winter, Cao Fool did not hesitate to buy a large amount of coal, hire a large number of workers, and work all night long, spending several times more expensive than the summer to rush to work.

What the officials didn't notice was that Cao was hired by the fools, many of whom were homeless.

Are there any displaced people in Tianjin? Of course there are, and they are temporary displaced people in large numbers.

Since the Eight Banners army moved south, countless Ming people in the Jingyuan area began to drag their families and mouths south to take refuge. As a transportation hub, Tianjin has convenient canals, a large number of food and materials, and rich people everywhere, so there is no doubt that it has become the first stop for displaced people.

So what are you waiting for? After three years of traveling, a certain force has now mastered this routine.

The first step is to hire a large number of displaced people to work.

The second step, in this process, fully show the flower children what it means to be wealthy, help the suffering, and treat people with sincerity.

The third step is to screen the flickering and pack the ship away.

Relying on this increasingly familiar process, the empire is now absorbing natives in many cities along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the effect is remarkable.

And this time, when a few people who went north saw a large number of displaced people from the north, their saliva was about to flow, and it was urgent to enrich the population source of their hometown, and the arrival of a large number of immigrants from the north would greatly alleviate the situation of the high number of people in the south of the country, which was an important national policy related to "long-term peace and stability" and must be taken seriously.

In just one week, the dilapidated old schoolyard was re-established like a brand new silver coin.

The original walls have now been repaired and plastered with white lime, and watchtowers have been added to make them beautiful and neat.

In the vast school grounds, the former dilapidated houses have been renovated, and some low-rise houses made of double brick and timber have been added to the temporary soldiers' dormitory, and the cracks have been plastered with cement.

Although this kind of temporary low house has poor lighting and is cramped, it can block the cold winter wind during the Xiaoice River period, and it has surpassed the houses of most ordinary people.

In addition, on a part of the mud field that has been raised and compacted, the fence and the stables made of bricks and wood are being extended one after another.

The most surprising thing for the natives was a small boiler lifted from a transport ship. Now the natives know what the renovated house with its brick chimney is for.

With boilers, there was 24-hour hot water and bathhouses to keep soldiers healthy and hygienic. This is the real big killer, you must know that in the north of the Xiaoice River period, most people could not afford to take a bath, the health of the indigenous people was extremely bad, and all kinds of germs and infectious diseases were everywhere, making the crossing people shudder.

Of course, all these achievements are inseparable from those big local businessmen.

Including recruiting displaced people, hiring craftsmen, organizing a large number of building materials, organizing logistics supplies, etc., these seemingly smooth projects are all backed by resources mobilized by big businessmen from all over the world.

However, Cao Zongbing also gave the businessmen enough returns, compared to the kerosene lamps and kerosene agency rights in a certain area, the businessmen have helped this little "little favor" these days, and what is the point of sending that bit of food?

In the past few days, the goods unloaded from the transport ships have unsurprisingly caused fierce scrambling by local trading houses. This is also the main reason why the progress of the project has been able to move forward so fast - businessmen see this as a test of the strength of their own firms.

Seven days later, Cao Jiajun, who began to take shape and officially settled, began a new round of eye-catching activities.

From this morning onwards, a herd of horses came along the dirt road to the old schoolyard. The owner of the herd is a horse dealer who comes from outside his mouth.

Horse dealers had not only horses, but also camels and cattle.

As a hub for transportation, there are quite a lot of caravans assembled in Tianjin on weekdays. The horses in the hands of these people will go all the way south along the canal, and the luxurious horses that the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River come to pull the carts are all bought from this generation.

And the one who drove the horses to the old school field today is the largest horse gang currently stationed in Tianjin Wei.

The horse gang, which had been explained in advance, rushed to nearly 300 Mongolian horses for selection, so at this moment, the people on the school field shouted and neighed, which was very lively.

The grooms of the merchants and some of the old guards who were familiar with the nature of horses were all on the school yard at the moment, examining the horses and discussing loudly.

And the Cao Jiajun, who was completely helpless in this regard, could only be helpless - the crossing crowd was not an immortal after all, so he did not take into account the horse inspection when he set off. Most of the team are southerners, and although some have ridden horses, being able to ride a horse and being able to ride a horse are completely different things.

So today's horse buying club, I can only ask for the temporarily hired grooms and guards, and General Cao only has to pay for the money.

The vigorous horse selection activity lasted for most of the day. In the end, most of the horses with a shoulder height of more than 13 meters were retained, bringing the total number to 200.

At this time, the newly renovated stables in the muddy field next to it came in handy.

A few days ago, Lu Shui, who had brought the military supplies, was now directing his men to help him give the horses water and feed—the black beans, wheat and buckwheat that he had personally delivered, as the White Tent had said that day, were all poured into the manger, claiming to "fatten" the horses.

"It's really rich!" Lu Shui smacked his tongue secretly. In fact, in the north, these black beans and buckwheat were originally the daily food of many soldiers and ordinary people, and there was no such thing as "horse feed".

Then it's time to check out.

Then the people gathered on the school field saw Cao Jiajun's tent lift the felt carpet, revealing a shiny, rectangular pile of iron boxes built up underneath.
