"Wei Qingwei?" Zhang Heming's eyebrows moved when he heard this, Wei Qingwei is not far from the west of Guiyang City, and the north is bordered by Liumu Zexi outside the water, and he also knows a little about the occupation of military fields here, which is not a small appearance, but this involves many previous entanglements and has no way to start for a long time, but listening to Wang Xingping's meaning, it seems that he wants to take this place?

"The students have taken some time these days to sort out the situation of the military fields occupied by Wei Qingwei for the Shui Wai Yimu, as long as the political secretary comes out with a card, other things can be handed over to me, the new army, to try their skills."

Zhang Heming finally understood Wang Xingping's thoughts, according to him, Wei Qingwei's occupation of the land was similar to Chishuiwei's, and it was all military households who sold the original land and nearby Tuyi into private villages due to poverty. Strictly speaking, the fields allocated to the military households in the early years of the dynasty were also military tuns and not privately owned, and in the past, because the Yi people were ruthless and would work hard for some trivial things, and the local tax collectors did not dare to provoke such local people. And even if this field is recovered, the military households have already fled, and the Yi people have never paid the endowment, which is naturally quite passable, if it is calculated according to the actual military field, no one is willing to farm.

As long as the government gives an endorsement, the only condition is that after the military land is recovered, he will arrange for the military households in Tuntian and temporarily exempt the land according to the previous practice.

Whether it is a military camp or a regimental training, Wang Xingping's approach is no different from that of a private soldier, but Zhang Heming also understands that the private soldiers in his hands are always stronger than the native soldiers in Shuixi, and he is on the side of the imperial court, and he also directs and moves, as long as he can help him succeed, he doesn't have to worry about things here in the future, not to mention that Wang Xingping is also responsible.

And with the results of last year's tuntian, I think there is some secret method to be able to produce a bumper yield, these fields do not say that they can generally increase the yield by three percent according to last year, even if there are only two percent of the natural planting, the original many years have only been on paper The field can become real after a few years.

"It's just that Tiancheng already has a plan? There should be a lot of landfall in this canon, I am afraid it is not easy to count, if there is no evidence, I am afraid that the local Tuyi will take the opportunity to make trouble. ”

Even if the Han people are full of tricks in order to avoid taxes, there are many hidden fields and pleated fields, not to mention such Tuyi, which has no king's law, even if the register is still there, but it has not been collected for many years, and there is no fear that today's tax collectors can still find that field. If you don't read them all, you can't continue this thing in the first place.

Wang Xingping said with a smile, "I have two people here, one is Wei Qingwei's commander Wang Zhenbang, this person is a student of the same sect, and he is willing to stand up for this matter." There is also a person named Zhu Yongnian who is a servant of Weizhong, he has always been diligent in his work, and there is a benefit, he has made a note of the land of Weizhong's military households over the years, and it is generally not wrong, and the rest of the things of these two people will be easy for students to do. The students have already seen that the invasion of the military fields alone has a share in the six eyes of Ago, Long'er, Longye, Diqu, Huana, and Yinyezhal, and if they can be roughly cleared, they can get nearly 100 hectares of fields, and many of them are still in pieces. ”

Zhang Heming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he didn't expect this son to plan things so thoroughly, and he was worried about his thoughts.

Next, Zhang Fujun nodded and agreed to give Wei Qingwei an order to clear the military field, and as for the errand, he was naturally entrusted to Wang Xingping.

…………

After coming out of the governor's yamen, Wang Xingping returned home, and as usual, today he had to talk about the operation of various industries and the drills in the army.

A group of powerful people were already waiting in the study, and Lan Niang came up to take a look at the tea one by one.

Ye Yiwei reported on the industry and management, and now the Futai plus the business of Poly Bank earned a total of more than 2,960 taels of silver last month, of which half of Thailand is in the iron business, and the trade volume of grain and special products is much less than in previous years.

However, this is only counting the accounts of Guiyang, the iron is sold very well, and the officials in Guizhou also purchase more. And the trade road to Sichuan is now also opened, Chongqing where there is a brother-in-law Jian Shouzhi partnership, although the in-laws said that the account will take half a year to get a settlement, and now it has just opened some sales, but if you keep the momentum, you will only be better than Guizhou.

The business of Zhenyuan Mansion is unexpectedly smooth, with the relationship between the army and Zhang Heming as a backer, the already high-quality Poly Iron Ware has gradually been marketed there, such as iron needles, iron pots, and iron hoes are very fond of both the local people and the Han people, and Wang Ge is in the city again, I believe that after this year, it will become a large amount of money.

After all, although the profit of more than 30,000 taels of silver a year is something that I can't think of in the past, it is still not enough for Wang Xingping's goal.

Of course, Wang Ge was not only in Zhenyuan Mansion for the sale of iron tools, but also because it was very close to the Dawanshan Division of Tongren Mansion, and the more than 50 cinnabar mines under the jurisdiction of Tongren Mansion were the most productive in Dawanshansi, and until later generations, it was still the first in Asia and the top three in the world.

Guangdong's main trade goods are cinnabar, although it is also produced in the South Seas, but the amount is not much, and the two channels of Japan and the Americas can not guarantee stability, but it is an industrial raw material urgently needed by the senate, and the mercury extracted from cinnabar is indispensable and consumes a lot of ammunition whether it is to make thermometers and other instruments or to ignite gunpowder in firearms.

In this way, it is really not as convenient as Wang Xingping to directly purchase it here and export it to Guangdong, and it is also better to make the best use of it, at least than to sell it to unreliable wealthy families to use it for alchemy. It's just that he doesn't have the hands to refine mercury now, so it's better to leave it to the professionals of the Senate to do such a very toxic thing as mercury vapor purification.

And Wang Xingping, under Ye Yiwei's suggestion, changed the settlement method of iron and firearms trade with the officials, that is, he no longer used cash, but changed to salt. After the autumn harvest this year, Ye Da Cabinet arranged for a number of outsiders who did not follow the road economy to directly trade with the refined salt obtained by the officials, and according to the market of rice and salt, they exchanged more than 10,000 stones of new grain and many gold and silver utensils from several toasts, so that the business was already on the right track.

As for the follow-up local horse and timber business, it needs to be slowly figured out, as well as Wang Xingping's own tobacco, the southwest is also unique for growing tobacco, and it is also in the seedlings of the crops he asked the Senate for this time, but it is just to distinguish it from the future products of the Australian Song Dynasty in the positioning of tobacco goods, and not to fight with each other.

Zhang Jiebin is talking about medical and health care, in just one month, hospitals have been built in Jierong Fort and Xincheng, and the new city is not only for military households, but also for civilians, which is still done after Mr. Zhang traveled all the way, many of which were diagnosed by the 'military doctors' were selected from the guards earlier, and they themselves have a lot of gold sores on the means, and they have studied with Ni Zhumo for a period of time, and now they have to be vigorously trained by Zhang Jiebin.

He returned to Guizhou with Wang Xingping this time, and after arriving in Huguang, he went to Wugang Prefecture alone to meet Ni Zhumo, and delayed for a few days before returning to Guiyang through Tongren.

Different from Guizhou and Sichuan, the Minwang Mansion has actually become the underwriting of Poly Bank in the two lakes through this cooperation, although the benefits of the palace will definitely take the lion's share, but the monopoly of the benefits plus relying on the royal family will naturally not be disadvantaged, for this kind of thing that is conducive to improving their own strength Wang Xingping is not too rejected.

Zhang Jiebin has been studying medicine with Wang Xingping along the way, although the young man has always played a haha that only makes sense, but it makes Mr. Zhang more and more respectful. Especially in the treatment of injuries and illnesses in surgery, many methods and truths that have not been thought of in the past are really a bit of a feeling of being choked by Wang Xingping, and Wang Xingping is extremely tidy and tidy along the way, and every time he goes to camp, he must dig a toilet first, and the things that are drowned must also be specially cleaned and buried, which is said to be so able to avoid the infection of the epidemic. It was the first time he had heard such a statement, but after all, he had also been with the army in Liaodong, and the fact that no one had contracted the epidemic on the way made him feel novel, and he felt that Wang Xingping's method was really good.

These days, whenever he has time, he will transcribe some theories about medical and health care that Wang Xingping heard, so that one day he can compile them into a book.

According to Wang Xingping's meaning, what he needs Zhang Jiebin to do is not a simple one-person doctor, but to let the army establish a set of medical care system with the army, and he can instruct Zhang Jiebin in general theory, but the specific implementation still has to cost a lot of spirit, fortunately, Zhang Jiebin is already interested in work, and he does see that there is a lot to be done inside and outside Guiyang, and he also has a little more heart.

Ding Deshui was fully responsible for the training of the troops, and only yesterday he made a special trip back to Guiyang from Jierong Fort, and he had not seen the young proprietor for a long time.

Wang Zhongde concentrated on preparing for martial arts, and the daily affairs in this camp mainly fell on him, and the brothers gradually became acquainted, and Liao Si and the others did not say anything else in front of him. In addition, he led the troops very strictly, and he advanced and retreated, and I heard that he was very respected by the army.

During the period when Wang Xingping left, Jierong Fort was also peaceful, neither used troops externally, nor did any family take the initiative to provoke them, but they were also safe.

After more than half a year of recuperation, the number of newly recruited soldiers has reached 1,200, and the number of new soldiers from the north has already gone to 2,000. And there are more and more military tuns and tun households attached to him, and Ding Deshui did not forget Wang Xingping's instructions to arrange their simple drills during the agricultural slack, once they encounter a battle, these people can at least pull out thousands of qualified auxiliaries, and they can also guard the township when they act alone.

Among the soldiers, 1,600 were musketeers, and they practiced only spear stabbing in addition to lining up and shooting. Of the remaining 400 men, 300 were Golia's artillerymen, and the other 100 were cavalry specially formed for sentry and pursuit, the cavalry was too expensive to train, and the combat power of the musketeers was not eye-catching enough, so the scale was controlled under Wang Xingping's intention.

In addition, there is a smaller team that specializes in special tasks, trained according to the model of special forces, and Ding Yi and Shang Bao are in this team.

The red jacket suit customized by Wang Xingping is now gradually gaining a reputation around Guiyang, and the people call it the red shirt army, Wang Xingping listened to it and thought it was good, and he agreed with the folk name.

After the year, he also plans to find some young and motivated boys from the military camp, and expand the scale of the army to two battalions of about 3,000 people.

Song Yingxing said something different, although he had only been in Guizhou for two months, he had already visited the iron works and various military tuns, and Wang Xingping's industry and future plans were generally understood.

Not to mention anything else, this year's autumn harvest is thanks to his co-ordination, which saves Ye Yiwei a lot of worry.

Now Wang Xingping has a total of more than 300 hectares of military tun, and has received 50,000 stone of autumn grain, excluding the people and tenants and the distribution of the officials, he has left more than 30,000 stones, plus the Futai secretly purchased new grain from Tusi, and the total is still nearly 50,000 stones, and the scale of the military tun controlled by Wang Xingping is no longer lower than that of Longli, Chishui and Pu'an, which is enough to support more than 1,000 elite soldiers in his hands, but now there are hundreds of new troops from the north, plus there are plans to expand the army and train artillery and cavalry. This makes it a bit difficult to calculate.

In addition, the phosphate mine in Weng'an needs to be improved, and Song Yingxing made some suggestions that seem feasible, but Wang Xingping also wants to wait for the people from the Senate to arrive and do another feasibility analysis. There are many islands in the South China Sea that have a lot of struvite mining, which is much more convenient than Weng'an, but no matter what the output is, he will not expect to be able to import, so he still makes his own decisions on his own territory.

Mr. Song usually talks about the monism of qi, believing that the non-form of heaven and earth is qi, especially the use of water and fire in the five elements, and he often goes to this iron smelting, mainly because he is very interested in firearms. He also heard the young proprietor mention that there are Australian strangers overseas who can use the power of steam instead of hydraulic power, and he was very interested, and even drew a few drawings with his imagination, although Wang Xingping felt that there were still a lot of debatable points, but he was also surprised by Song Yingxing's technical attainments. Later, he simply opened a school for the younger soldiers in the prison, and Song Yingxing would also be arranged by him to teach the staff to read and write or help Golia compile artillery drills when he had nothing to do.

He also borrowed the methods of his hometown to design the water mill, and now several have been built by the river in Shuiwo Village, where the wheat produced in the dry fields is ground into fine grains.

Next, he also wanted to design a hydraulic forging machine according to Wang Xingping's attempt to tell him, with this thing, he could improve a lot in armor making, and the coinage work that Wang Xingping gave him to study would also step up to a new level.

It's just that this matter also needs the support of money, although Wang Xingping explained the matter of looking for copper materials before going to Beijing, Liu Ru is still in Dongchuan Mansion, and after some hard work, he finally opened up a copper mine there.

However, on the whole, things are going well in all aspects, and Wang Xingping is also quite grateful in his heart when he sees his efforts presented in the form of numbers, and what makes him even more relieved is that he already knew through the radio yesterday that the people sent by Guangzhou Station have arrived in Duyun Mansion, and they will be able to arrive in Guiyang in three or five days.

He was a little proud in his heart, but when he saw Xiaoliu coming in in a panic, his expression was a little lost.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Mr. Liu who is back."

"Liu Rust? Why don't people come to see me? ”

Xiao Liu's face showed a smile and said, "Mr. Liu let people beat him, and the injury was not light." ”

"Did you meet a sloppy man on the way?" What he immediately thought of was what happened to his family at the beginning, and he thought that the road from Pu'an to Pingba should be quite safe.

But Wang Xiaoliu's following words surprised everyone, "It's not a cunning, it's a person from Mu Wangfu......"
