Chapter 696: New Training Ground
"Master Hou, the competition has all ended, and the fifty small flags have all been allocated!" The young commander Xu Shan panted and climbed up to the ridge to report.
"Dad, let's go down!" Chen Xu put away the handcuffs, and Chen Hu, another holster, was already hidden on his body and carried it.
The fifty teenagers who won the small flag had all lined up and stood up, although they were all tired and sweaty, and they couldn't stand steadily, and some even had blood on their faces and hands, but looking at Chen Xu who was striding over, his eyes were full of incomparable heat and excitement.
The 450 teenagers who were also standing in the back were full of envy and jealousy, and some of the teenagers who lost the final capture of the flag were depressed and depressed.
"Lizheng~" With the order of a young leader, everyone stood up in an uproar.
"Very good, this selection Ben Hou is very satisfied, everyone is working hard, the selected one will follow Ben Hou to Xianyang in a few days, don't be discouraged if you don't choose, as long as you work hard to train to meet my requirements, you can follow me in the future, you can go to Qinghe Town to play for three days from today, you can go to Qinghe Town to play, but you can't leave Qinghe Town, and you can't harass the villagers, let alone fight, if you want to go home, you can ask for leave from the commander, remember to return on time, if you haven't returned to the team after three days, you will be treated as a deserter, and, Each person will be rewarded with 100 coins and disbanded~"
"Yah~~" All the teenagers jumped up and cheered excitedly, and then each followed their commander to line up to a wooden house to receive money.
Five hundred people, fifty thousand yuan, this is what Chen Xu asked Niu Dashi to take from the warehouse when he came in the morning.
Now there are more than 10,000 stones of grain stored in the town's warehouse, but this is only about a quarter of the grain tax that should be paid in previous years by more than 3,000 households in the fiefdom, not to mention that the general grain income increase in Qinghe Town has increased by two or three times in the past two years.
In addition to this 10,000 stone of grain, the most stored in the warehouse is money.
The pottery workshop, the brewery, and the paper mill are the three largest and most profitable factories, with a combined monthly income of more than 100,000 yuan.
Especially in the winery, Qinghe wine brewed more than 2,000 catties this autumn, although most of them were put in the cave cellar for aging and waiting for a few years to be sold, but last year's Qinghe wine sold a total of more than 500 bottles, of which in addition to Chen Xu's own drink and give away, the rest are settled according to two thousand yuan a bottle and the winery, so the profit is nearly 600,000 yuan, most of which are still stored in the warehouse.
The profit of the porcelain factory is relatively low, but it is better than the large output and the image that does not depend on the season, in addition to wages and various expenses, it also makes a profit of more than 500,000 yuan a year.
Strictly speaking, although this money cannot be regarded as Chen Xu's, Qinghe Town is now Chen Xu's fiefdom, so everyone does not dare to use it casually.
Therefore, when Chen Xu came back and learned that the treasury had saved almost two million yuan, he kept it for a long time, and then ordered Niu Dashi to spend the money on the fiefdom within a year, in addition to the head of the town and the stewards and craftsmen and helpers of various workshops to issue large bonuses and increase the purchase price of grapes and medicinal materials, more requirements were to renovate the transportation and water conservancy of the seven or eight townships in the entire fiefdom on a large scale, and to issue loans to particularly poor families to build houses and buy farm tools. Orphans, widows, and families of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled are exempted from tax and grain, and children in the fiefdom are enrolled in schools and medical centers are free of charge.
If the money is not spent, it is not money, according to the income of Qinghe Town, the money will only increase in the future, and use this money to continuously feed back agriculture, vigorously improve traffic conditions and farmland and water conservancy facilities, vigorously improve housing facilities, vigorously improve the living environment, so that more people can study and see a doctor for free, and strive to build Qinghe Town and their own fiefdoms into a new countryside across the times in advance, and in a few years every household has money, they can build cement brick houses, except for no electricity, Maybe the whole Qinghe town looks similar to the countryside in later generations.
However, it is easy to change a few hundred households in Qinghe Town and a few thousand fiefdoms, but it is too difficult to change the situation in the entire Nanyang and Daqin.
In fact, now Chen Xu is using the purchase money of the national Qinghe store to build the entire Qinghe town and fiefdom, this model can not be popularized on a large scale, it must be like the construction of the Oriental Road to continuously promote the development of commerce and industry, to provide more opportunities for the common people to earn money, when a large amount of money began to circulate to the lowest level of farmers, craftsmen and peddlers, these money can really play a role in improving the lives of the people.
Chen Xu's big task when he came back this time was to teach Niu Dashi and a group of officials in the town how to learn to spend money, instead of saving money.
Chen Xu, the bottom of the five hundred teenagers in front of him, looked through the registration booklet, all of them were from Pheasant County, either orphans whose parents died, or street children who were picked up, and children from single-parent families or even children whose parents were separated and lived with lonely and widowed old people.
"Dad, Taiyi God Musket You already know the way to operate, you should pay special attention to safety when using it on weekdays, although this gun is simple to use and does not require much effort, this group of teenagers who are now recruited and trained can use it easily, but remember to check the status of the gun frequently, if it explodes, it may hurt people, in the past two days I will teach you how to divide ammunition, I brought back a box of projectiles, and I have already told Dashi how to make it, and let him arrange for the blacksmith in the town to make it when it runs out......"
Back in Xiaohe Village, Chen Xu called his father Chen Hu to the study and gave him a careful advice.
"Xu'er, the sound of this Taiyi God Musket is too loud, if hundreds of people train together, I am afraid it will disturb the villagers in the town, and there are too many idle people in the town, I am afraid it will not be ......able to keep it secret," Chen Hu reminded.
"Well, that's a problem!" Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the mountain bandit den where he suppressed the bandits at the beginning, there were hundreds of acres of area inside, which was more open than the Wild Wolf Valley, and it was also very closed, far away from Qinghe Town, hidden in the mountains more than ten miles away, the most important thing is that there is water in it, and it can also open up wasteland for farming, and some people can be migrated to farm, and by the way, take care of a group of teenagers' eating, drinking, and Lazar, the surrounding mountains and wilderness are hidden enough, and hiding on it for a few years to train will definitely be safer than the Wild Wolf Valley.
"Dad, do you remember that there was a nest of mountain bandits in Black Tiger Bend?"
"Naturally remember, why are you asking this?" Chen Hu nodded.
"I told you last time, that nest of mountain bandits robbed the summer grain tax in Qinghe Town two years ago, and was served by the soldiers of the county led by the county lieutenant Fang, and the place where they hid was a very closed valley, which has water and can also be cultivated and farmed, so let's take you and Liu Po tomorrow to take you to take a look, and after some transformation, it can be used as a new training ground, but it is inconvenient to go up and down the mountain, and it ......is not easy to go back and forth."
"It's very inconvenient, it's only more than ten miles back and forth, it's a matter of hours!" Chen Hu pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Let's go see it tomorrow, you can still put it in the Wolf Valley on weekdays, go to the mountain bandits' nest when you need to train firearms, and climb the mountain can also be used as a training, you and your mother and aunt don't go to Xianyang with me, you still stay at home on weekdays, and you can arrange a few commanders for training!" Chen Xu said.
"Don't worry about this, I'll arrange it, I've been outside for seven or eight years, and now I like this matter very much, I promise to make you satisfied with these children!" Chen Hu waved his hand and replied to his son very domineeringly.
"That's okay, I don't care, when I train this group of children brought to Xianyang, I will send some of them back to teach the use and training of muskets, if there is something in the town, they can also be regarded as a security force, and they can also help cultivate and harvest crops during the busy farming season, and you can discuss other things with Dashi Liu Po......
Chen Xu is still very happy about his father's domineering, in less than two months, his father and Han Tian have been fully integrated into the family, the three of them are living well, the housework is done by the mother and Han Tian, and Chen Hu has returned to the state of the head of the family, busy all day long, and life is very fulfilling.
And Han Xin is similar to the character recorded in history, after coming to Qinghe Town, he is like a fish in water, all day long like a wandering god following Niu Dashi in the town, now his identity is the younger brother of Qinghe Hou, naturally the people in the town see him respectfully, Han Xin enjoys this identity and treatment very much, and he is very comfortable in the town, the most important thing is to follow Chen Xu to eat and drink and no one dares to bully him, which is very in line with his character.
Millet is only four years old, and Yu Ji is about the same size when she first came, but her personality is more cheerful than when Yu Ji first came, and she follows Xing'er and Yu Ji's butts all day long and a group of children in the village don't go home to eat.
The family is reunited and happy.
But Chen Xu has a thorn in his heart, he wants to find Shui Qing, but he can't give up Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan, and it must be unfair to them to abandon his two newly married wives and leave home.
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete.
Chen Xu has now deeply understood this sentence, but he is helpless. (https:)
