It turned out that Guan Ping knew his subordinates very well.

Guan Ping was sitting in the lobby, and when he saw Ding Feng and Liao Hua walking in from outside, he smelled a smell of rouge.

"Captain." Ding Feng and Liao Hua saluted in unison.

Guan Ping waved his hand, then got up from his seat and came to Liao Hua's side, probed his nose, and asked with a smile: "How many girls did you have last night?" ”

Ding Feng is a decent person who does not have much contact with Liao Hua on a daily basis. It's just that at this moment, the two camps are next to each other, and there is more contact, and they glanced at Liao Hua in surprise.

"This guy actually put a woman in the barracks?"

Liao Hua was going to resist to death, but when he saw Guan Ping's smiling eyes, he lowered his head and said, "It's just one." Now I'm Sima from another department, but I don't dare to do bad things because of women. ”

Guan Ping was also quite relieved when he heard this, this product used to be two, three, or four, but now it is closed, one a night.

It's so much better than before.

It proves that this product has also grown.

Guan Ping patted Liao Hua on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

The commander is not a soldier.

It's impossible to manage it all the time.

As long as Liao Hua can take care of himself, don't go too far. Guan Ping could only turn a blind eye.

Liao Huaben lowered his head and waited to be scolded, but when Guan Ping patted his shoulder, he was surprised for a while, and when he looked up and saw Guan Ping's face, he knew that it was okay this time.

I couldn't help but cheer in my heart.

"Great, I don't have to worry about it in the future."

However, Liao Hua is not too carried away, after all, he is a general who leads the army, he can't do without women in this life, but he usually tries to be restrained.

Guan Ping came this time mainly to see the construction of the bazaar, but he was also very concerned about the construction of the water army.

If you want to crisscross the south, you can't do without a navy. When the three families returned to the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty also built warships in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then went down the river.

Starting from Cao Cao, Cao Wei also built a large number of warships, intending to go south, but unfortunately it has not been successful.

And now the position of the Guan family is a little awkward, there are rivers in the Xinye area, but there is no dense river network, and there is no big river, and the plain terrain is still conducive to cavalry.

The area around Fangling County is mostly mountainous.

Of course, you don't need a navy to defend the city, you just need foot soldiers and crossbowmen. But to expand the land, it is necessary to have a naval army, whether it is to go south to Xiangyang along the Han River, or to attack Hanzhong against the Han River, a naval army is needed.

"How's the training of the navy now?" After the episode, Guan Ping invited Ding Feng, Liao Hua sat down, and then asked.

Ding Feng is not a stuffy gourd, but he is also a little talker. So it's more that Liao Hua is performing, and when Liao Hua heard this, he immediately spit out bitterness and said: "My lord." It must be known that the cities of Fangling County are built on the valley, and there are many mountain people. Some of the soldiers I recruited were able to go down to the river to catch fish. But when I got to the river and got on the warship, I vomited a lot. If this group of soldiers wants to train into capable sailor soldiers, I am afraid it will take two or three years. ”

"The second thing is that there are few warships, and at present, there are only two ships in the Ding Sima battalion."

Guan Ping wanted to scratch his head a little when he heard this, these two things are indeed a problem. In order to recruit a naval army, it is also necessary to recruit soldiers from the new wilderness.

Because many of the people in Xinye are slaves and maids from Jingzhou and Jiangdong, they are water-free. However, considering that Xinye is currently scarce in civilian strength, Guan Ping recruited a naval army from Fangling.

As for the question of the ship, it is even more difficult.

It must be known that the Guan family did not even have a warship before this, and everything was starting from scratch, which was of course very difficult.

The only good news is that it takes two or three years for a soldier to train into a navy, and a warship should be much better in two or three years.

It's only two or three years, and I can afford to wait.

So Guan Ping comforted: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but Liao Sima wants to be a little restless." Anything will be there later. ”

Liao Hua rolled his eyes when he heard this, and thought to himself, it's not that you are training the water army, of course you are not in a hurry.

No matter how Liao Hua complained, Guan Ping was not an immortal, and it was impossible to conjure up a boat. So that's it. Guan Ping next visited the dock and then visited the barracks water village.

Of course, Taishou-sama came here, so he couldn't come empty-handed. Guan Ping brought fifty pigs to kill, and gave the profits to the soldiers of the second battalion, rewarding the army and raising their morale.

After that, Guan Ping left to return to Fangling. Of course, I also took the mountain road when I went back, that is, it was sunny in the past two days, and the mountain road was better to walk, but it was still very rubbish.

Guan Ping also saw many migrant workers on the road, and under the supervision of the officials, they were building roads.

Building roads is also the old way of repairing the city wall, smashing the road with stones, and the road built by this earthen method can last a few years at most, and then it will be repaired again.

Guan Ping looked at this scene and thought to himself.

"It would be great if we could make cement."

Needless to say, the wonderful use of cement can be used to build roads and build houses and walls.

But it's a pity, Guan Ping is really a fool and doesn't know what the formula of cement is.

Remember that the raw material is limestone?

Guan Ping scratched his head, only feeling that he hated less knowledge when it was used. Guan Ping decided to put this matter aside for the time being, and when he returned, he would find the almighty Ma Sheng to study it.

At this time, Guan Ping met a group of people who were repairing the road. When these people saw the banner of Guan Ping, they carried hoes and other tools and lined up on both sides.

Guan Ping glanced at it, they were all bitter haha, and there was a person who looked like a small official. Guan Ping invited this little official to come over for questioning.

"The villain meets Taishou-sama." This little official saw Guan Ping and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"I remember your last name is Zhang?" Guan Ping saw that this little official was also a little familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was called.

"Back to the adult, the villain's name is Wu Shan." When he met such a boss, Wu Shan was helpless, but he had to take the helplessness to heart and replied.

Guan Ping is a little embarrassed, I have this memory.

This is Zhang Guan Li Dai.

"These people are all recruited by Fang Ling?" Guan Ping asked.

"Exactly." Wu Shan replied.

The so-called forced labor is the free labor of the government. Usually, the county order is to repair the roads in the county, and it is enough to find people to serve in forced labor according to their household registration.

Similar to the current conscription in Fangling County, they are all serving in this county, and they don't need to go to the ends of the earth.

The most famous conscription is Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall.

The Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, but the straight road aroused public resentment. Others, such as marching and fighting, also require conscription. If Cao Cao wants to fight Youzhou, the grain and grass need to come out of Jizhou, so he will recruit people in Jizhou to serve in the conscription, transport the grain and grass to the north, and the one who comes back is lucky, if he dies of headache and brain fever on the road, it is normal.

From this point of view, if Guan Ping can invent cement and pave cement roads in the local area, it will be beneficial for the people to march and fight in the future.

Of course, there is no need to pay for forced labor, but Guan Ping looked at the bitter haha on both sides of the road, but he had compassion. The people in the area of Fangling County are not having a good time.

It's early spring, and it's okay to be cold.

These people were dressed in thin clothes, and when the cold wind blew, they shivered. Guan Ping asked Wu Shandao: "Is the food proper?" ”

"Back to my lord, I have three meals a day and I am full of rice." Wu Shan replied.

Guan Ping sighed when he heard this, this is really a good treatment, conscience government. If it is placed on Cao Cao's side, it may only be two meals a day.

Guan Ping took note of the incident and decided to discuss it with Sun Qian after he went back and send some coins to these bitter haha.

Of course, Guan Ping is not a good person, but a demon who has killed people with his own hands. But it was war, and in normal times, Guan Ping was still quite kind.

I can't see the people suffering.

Sometimes Guan Ping can't help but think about stinky fart.

"If I become an emperor, it will also be a generation of benevolent monarchs."

Guan Ping set out from Fangling to Hanshui for two days, and went back for a day and a half because the road conditions improved. After returning to the Taishou Mansion, Guan Ping came to Sun Qian's Gongcao room in the front yard to see Sun Qian.

This room is not only Sun Qian's office location, but there are also some Cao officials in the room. Guan Ping sent these little officials away, and then said bluntly to Sun Gan: "Sir." It was very cold for me to see those conscripts on the road. Is the county's finances still sufficient? Might as well pay those conscripts. ”

When Sun Qian heard this, he appreciated it in his heart.

Look, this is the disciple I taught.

Be able to sympathize with the people, and say benevolence.

Sun Qian was very pleased that he had taught such a disciple of good character, but for this matter, he showed embarrassment and said, "My lord." At present, you are building a lot of buildings, building the walls of the counties, recruiting soldiers, building warships, running factories, and buying raw silk. Fangling County's treasury has long been empty. The reason why it can be maintained is because it has brought a lot of money and grain from Xinye. And you also know that Xinye has to raise 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers, hoard grain, grass, and weapons, and it is not abundant. ”

Guan Ping scratched his head.

Although Mi's wine is making money every day, the expenses of the Guan family are too great. What Sun Gan said was only partial, he also needed to buy ploughing cattle, horses, and wives for the singles who were Cao Jun and had become ordinary people.

Everything needs money.

Seriously, the Guan family's background is really poor.

If you sit in Jingzhou like Liu Biao, why do you have to work so hard?

"Then let's pay them a little as appropriate, how about ten copper coins a day for each person?" Guan Ping asked Sun Gandao in a consultative tone.

Ten copper coins is enough to buy a pound of rice.

It's a meagre wage, and it can't be more meager.

Sun Qian was a little embarrassed, because at present, in order to build mountain roads, Fangling County has levied 2,000 conscriptions, and if it is ten yuan per person per day, it is 20,000 yuan.

Ten days is 200,000.

And with so many mountain roads, it takes at least three months to complete. That is, it requires a salary of 1.8 million yuan, plus three meals of white rice a day.

It's a bit of a lot of money.

Originally, the government recruited conscripts, which did not cost money.

But Sun Qian glanced at Guan Ping's expectant gaze, then gritted his teeth and swallowed the bitter water, and said with a smile: "Okay." That's ten dollars per person. ”

"Thank you, sir." Guan Ping had a smile on his face and said sincerely.
