Chapter 116: The Founding of the City
Ten years of orthodoxy, under July, Yushan set.
After a busy month, the expansion of the Yushan Guards has come to an end, and the 3,000 new forces have all been incorporated into various departments.
At the same time, a Chinese army under Liu Juntao's own jurisdiction was also established.
Liu Juntao deliberately drew elite troops from various departments to form the Chinese army, and incorporated the best of the 3,000 new forces, and obtained a Chinese army force whose combat power surpassed the rest of the troops.
And Guo Yongzhong also recruited a large number of Langzhong and doctors from Dong'e County, Huakou Town, Dongpingzhou and other places to form the Yushan Collection Medical Care Hall, which was already assigned to several departments guarding various places at this time.
Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin, who performed well in the recruit drill, also attracted Gao Ran's attention, and the two were not only excellent in various drill items, but also had a lot of prestige among the recruits.
Gao Ran took a fancy to the fact that both of them died well, so he recommended Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin to Liu Juntao.
Liu Juntao was very happy when he heard this, for this kind of thing of recommending talents, Liu Juntao has always been unrefusal, and the more the merrier.
So, Liu Juntao specially called Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin over, tested the two on the spot, and saw that the two of them had real skills and were all manufacturable materials, so in front of Gao Ran, Liu Zi'an and others, he appointed Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin as the commanders of the Chinese army!
Hearing this, Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin were stunned, both of them couldn't believe their ears, and thought they had heard it wrong.
It wasn't until Gao Ran next to him went up to give one of them a kick that he kicked the two awake.
Bai Yuxing hurriedly came to this Taoji new gift to bow and said: "Please rest assured, my brothers and sisters will do their best to practice the work of dogs and horses!" ”
Everyone around also stepped forward to congratulate.
Subsequently, Liu Juntao ordered the Military War Bureau to load the inventory of orthodox nine-year-old bird guns from the Yushan Salt Pond, which had been renamed the Yushan Military War Bureau, and transport all of them to Yushan Ji, and a group of Chinese soldiers and horses immediately began to change their clothes!
"After the War Bureau transports this batch of orthodox nine-year-old bird guns back, we must pay close attention to production and fill the gap in the bird guns of the escort team as soon as possible!"
Zhang Baigui said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jun Tao, this matter is on me!" ”
In fact, the reason why Liu Juntao wants to give priority to the complete firearms of the Chinese military is not only out of selfishness, but also out of prudence.
At this time, among the several units of the Yushan Guard, only Gao Ran's department, Zhou Zongsheng's horse team and the Chinese army were stationed in Yushanji, and the rest of Zhang Xiao's army was stationed in Anshan Town, Yan Hu's department was stationed in the Yushan Military Bureau, and Chen Ziping's department was stationed in Huakou Town.
Liu Juntao could only start with the Chinese soldiers and horses first, and began to change firearms.
At least until Liu Juntao takes care of the local governments and yamen around Yushanji, or lets the Yushanji guards have an identity recognized by the imperial court, it is still prudent to change the clothes of the various departments stationed outside Yushanji.
Even if Zhang Xiaojun's department, Yan Hu's department, and Chen Ziping's department want to start changing their clothes, they must be low-key and low-key, and those orthodox nine-year-old birds can't be exposed easily!
At this time, Liu Juntao's most relevant things: the relocation of the War Bureau, the diversion of stove households, the establishment of farms around Yushanji, and the start of the Yushan Workshop have all been basically completed.
Especially after the relocation of the War Bureau, the production of orthodox nine-year-old bird guns has almost doubled, and now it can build more than 600 poles per month, which can basically meet the current needs of the Yushan Guard.
The start of the Yushan Workshop also made Yanzhou Mansion and even the whole Shandong Haoqiang a boost, the smooth transparent glass, transparent glass mirror is deeply loved by the Haoqiang, gentry, officials everywhere, and even has been sought after by the rich families in Nanzhili and other places.
The price of glass set by Liu Juntao is not high, and the price is much higher than that of similar glass products, but it is still in short supply.
Now the well-known restaurants in Shandong only sell Liu's Erguotou, and some large families with solid family backgrounds do not drink Liu's Erguotou!
The two treasures produced by the Yushan Workshop alone have brought far more than the profits of the private salt business before the monthly income brought to the Yushan Collection!
At this time, the heroes and gentry who originally laughed at Liu Juntao for giving up the private salt business turned around and went to Yushanji to beg Liu Juntao, wanting to continue to do business with Yushanji and act as an agent for Yushan Liuli and Liu's Erguotou.
In this regard, Liu Juntao also greeted him with a smile, but all the heroes and gentry who want to act as agents of Yushan Liuli and Liu's Erguotou must accept the shipping price set by Yushan Ji, and they must set a certain number of people, each family can only sell goods in the area demarcated by Liu Juntao, and no one is allowed to sell across the border!
After learning about Liu Juntao's conditions, almost all the heroes and gentry who came nodded and agreed.
Although Liu Juntao's conditions seem very harsh, they also give everyone a way to get rich, so that everyone can have a bite to eat, and it is still a delicacies from the mountains and seas, so a fool will not agree!
So, Liu Juntao successfully pushed Yushan Liuli and Liu's Erguotou to the entire Shandong, Henan, Nanzhili, and even the merchants of Beizhili and Jiangnan provinces rushed to Yushanji when they heard the news!
After dealing with these batches of heroes, gentry, and businessmen, Liu Juntao had time to settle down and think about the future of Yushanji, and how he should make the Yushanji Escort Force a "reasonable and legal" army!
At this moment, Hu Dexing, who had not seen him for a long time, ran over, and shouted loudly as soon as they met: "Brother Juntao! Your Liu's second pot head is really exciting, you have to load ten jars for me! ”
Seeing this, Liu Juntao immediately laughed and said, "Okay! No problem, a hundred jars are no problem! ”
This is really a nowhere to break through the iron shoes and find no place to get it, Liu Juntao secretly said in his heart: "It seems that if I want to get a legal identity for Yushanji and the escort team, I have to rely on Brother Hu!" ”
At this time, it was close to noon, so Liu Juntao asked someone to prepare a meal, opened a jar of Liu's two pots, and ate and drank with Hu Dexing.
After the two of them had three rounds of drinking, Liu Juntao talked about his worries about the future of Yushanji and the escort team, and finally asked, "Brother Hu, do you have anything to do about this?" ”
Hu Dexing also groaned when he heard this, and said: "This matter is not easy to handle, if you want to give the escort team an official status, you must first give Yushanji a suitable identity." Now the status of Yushanji is very embarrassing! ”
Liu Juntao also has a deep understanding of this.
Yushanji was originally just a remote village, with only hundreds of households and only a few hundred people, which is not small, but it is by no means big!
And now, the population of Yushanji has tens of thousands of households and tens of thousands of people! Such a population size has surpassed that of Huakou Town, Anshan Town, and even Zhang Qiu Town!
Such a situation is very dangerous, and after a long time, the government will inevitably notice the abnormal growth of the population of Yushanji, and then it will be troublesome!
Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Now the villagers in the Yushan Collection are registered in the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Atlas, I'm afraid that there are only two or three out of ten, this is the biggest problem!" ”
Hu Dexing nodded and said, "Only by solving this problem can we give Yushanji a suitable identity; Only by giving Yushanji a suitable identity can the escort team join the official army, otherwise everything is impossible! ”
Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked, "Then what is the best way for Brother Hu?" ”
Hu Dexing thought for a while, suddenly laughed, and said: "There is a way, but I want Brother Juntao to break the bank." ”
Liu Juntao was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed out loud and said, "Brother Hu's main thing is not to go to Dong'e County again?" ”
"Exactly! I think Huo Qianhu is very happy that we went to him for a drink! ”
Hu Dexing paused for a moment and said: "However, before we go to Dong'e County, Juntao, you have to think about what kind of identity Yushanji needs in advance, this is related to the success or failure of our trip." ”
"Haha!"
Liu Juntao laughed out loud and said, "This matter is easy to do!" I am going to build a large number of buildings, wipe out all the existing houses in Yushanji, and build a new city, which will be called: Yushan Town. I want to change all the yellow books and fish scale atlases of all the villagers in the village, and make them the people of Yushan Town! ”
Hu Dexing was shocked when he heard this.
