At this time, Liu Juntao took Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran to stand on the high platform, and was directing his subordinate guards to expand the group.

According to Liu Juntao's plan, this time, the Yushan Collective Guard Force was expanded to the original establishment, and the "department" level was added, with two general departments and one thousand general officers.

As a result, Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran under Liu Juntao were all promoted to the rank of Qianzong, and the number of young men under each of them increased to 683.

Liu Juntao's personal guard team was also expanded to 21 people, divided into three teams, each team of seven people, and all the 23 war horses captured before were equipped with personal guards, with Zhou Zongsheng recommended by Gao Ran as the captain, and Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng also each rode a war horse.

As a result of this reorganization, the strength of the entire Yushan Guard Force will reach more than 2,700 people, and its strength will be very strong.

On this day, after Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran finished selecting the young strong, they will return to their respective stations as soon as possible to conduct intensive training for the young men under their command, and strive to complete the integration of their men and horses as soon as possible.

At this time, the brothers Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai were very excited, because they were very active in the exercises, and both of them had martial arts skills, and they were very prestigious in the newly recruited young people.

Therefore, this time, Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai were all selected by Zhang Xiaojun and served as the general manager under Zhang Xiaojun.

There are more than 300 men under the general, which is equivalent to a general in the official army! This can make Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai think that they are dreaming, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people around, the two would even slap each other a few times to see if they were dreaming.

And Chang Hongdao is also happy, Chang Hongdao was proactive in the exercises, and he also made a contribution when he attacked Hanjiazhai, and this time he was left by Gao Ran's side, and he was also a boss.

"If my wife were still alive, she would be very happy to see me as such a big official!"

Chang Hongdao smiled and smiled, suddenly remembered his deceased mother, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

Compared with Liu Youfu, Liu Youcai and Chang Hongdao, Zhou Zongsheng was not selected by Zhang Xiaojun and others at this time, but was left by Liu Juntao in public and served as the captain of the pro-guard team.

Although there are only 21 people in the personal guards, it can't be compared with Liu Youfu and the three of them managing more than 300 people.

But these twenty-one people are all real horse teams, and Zhou Zongsheng can stay by Liu Juntao's side every day, and everyone understands the truth that the building near the water gets the moon first!

At this time, Zhou Zongsheng was riding on a war horse, and behind him were twenty-one guards who were good at riding skills carefully selected by him, and his heart was already happy, but he still maintained a serious expression on his face.

It's just that there is a little more sense of superiority in the eyes of Chang Hongdao and the others.

"Brother Zhou has reached the sky in one step!"

Looking at Zhou Zongsheng, who was majestic on a war horse, Liu Youfu, Liu Youcai, and Chang Hongdao were all envious in their hearts. However, when they thought that they also had more than 300 people under their command, the three of them couldn't care about envy, and they were all looking forward to the days to come, preparing to do a big job in the Yushan Guard.

Liu Zi'an was also watching the hot scene from the side of the camp, followed by several subordinates.

"Mr. Lian is really a masterpiece! has such courage at a young age, and I, Liu Zi'an, have been defeated unjustly! It seems that in the future, I really have to do a good job for Mr. Lian! ”

Thinking of this, Liu Zi'an laughed and walked outside, and several subordinates behind him also hurriedly followed.

This time, Liu Zi'an was ordered to set up an intelligence agency, and on this day he was going to set off to contact acquaintances scattered all over the country.

Different from the lively atmosphere in the escort camp, Tang Yu was having a meeting at Guo's house at this time, Xu Ping, Ma Lijun, Cui Ning, and Guo Muying were all present, and these people were all backbone talents of the Ministry of Commerce.

"This time, our Ministry of Commerce has just been established, and Mr. Lian has high hopes for us, and our Ministry of Commerce must work hard to make all industries prosperous, and provide a steady stream of financial resources for Mr. Lian! This is also for the good of our own family business, everyone must remember! ”

Tang Yu, who is very calm and calm on weekdays, has become impassioned and excited at this time, as if he is the head of a certain country in the future, talking about Xu Ping, Ma Lijun, Cui Ning, and Guo Muying, and sporadic spit splashing everywhere, as if they were possessed by something, which made the four of them fidget, and the eyes that looked at Tang Yu were all with some fear.

It's no wonder, after all, Tang Yu was just a housekeeper of Guo Yongzhong before, and he didn't experience any ups and downs at a young age.

This time, Liu Juntao newly established the Ministry of Commerce, and handed over all the industries and businesses of Huakou Town, Anshan Town, and Yushan Yanchi to Tang Yu's hands, not counting the liquor and glass industries that Liu Juntao was planning, which changed Tang Yu from an obscure small role to a big businessman who was also ranked among the top in the entire Yanzhou Mansion.

With such a huge change, Tang Yu was already calm when he didn't faint.

"We are now with Yushanji is already a prosperous and a loss, as long as the various industries of Yushanji are bigger, we will also have our own net worth!"

Listening to Tang Yu's very encouraging words, Xu Ping, Ma Lijun, Cui Ning, and Guo Muying were also infected, and the four of them were also blushing at this time, all looking forward to a better life in the future.

At this time, Tang Yu said: "Now I have decided: Sister Xu Ping is responsible for all the industries in Huakou Town and Anshan Town, and Master Ma (Ma Lijun) is in charge of the Yushan Salt Pond and the glass and liquor workshops under construction. Cui Ye, President Lian has instructed me to use the channel of the Ministry of Commerce to raise war horses and riders for the escort team, this task will be handed over to you, you immediately mobilize all your connections, set up a caravan in the shortest possible time, and run to the north! ”

After listening to Tang Yu's arrangement, Xu Ping, Ma Lijun, and Cui Ning were all full of energy, and they all hugged their fists and agreed, and at the same time, the three of them were also drawing their own blueprints in their minds.

After that, Tang Yu restrained his passion a little and said to Guo Muying: "Miss, the quilt factory should also produce some cotton samples according to Mr. Lian's plan, and see how much there is a gap between it and the Songjiang cotton cloth in Nanzhili." ”

Guo Muying nodded with a smile and said, "I'll do it as soon as possible!" ”

Different from Tang Yu's impassioned arrangement of the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, at this time, Guo Yongzhong was quietly walking slowly on the ridge outside the Yushan Market, bending down from time to time to pick up a handful of soil, and slowly twisting it between his hands, as if he was feeling something.

Behind Guo Yongzhong, there are also more than a dozen elderly men, these people are all old farmers personally selected by Guo Yongzhong, and they are all croppers who have dealt with the land all their lives.

This time, Guo Yongzhong, in accordance with Liu Juntao's idea, prepared to build the Ministry of Civil Affairs into a big granary of Yushanji.

According to the experience of later generations, Liu Juntao proposed that all the land in Yushanji belonged to himself, and it took a lot of money to buy all of them, and all the villagers were regarded as Liu Juntao's tenants, and Liu Juntao allocated land to everyone according to the size of the population for cultivation, and paid Liu Juntao a certain amount of grain as rent every month.

Moreover, Liu Juntao also suggested to the Ministry of Civil Affairs according to the concept of the family production contract system in later generations: the number of grain handed over by each household must be set to death, and it must not be arbitrarily raised or lowered, and all villagers need to hand over two amounts of grain, one for the Ministry of Civil Affairs and one for the guards.

In Liu Juntao's words, after all the villagers harvest the grain, they hand over the food to the Ministry of the People's Republic of China, give it to the Qi Guard, and the rest are all their own! If the villagers want to live a good life, they must find ways to increase production and intensively cultivate.

"For example: a villager needs to hand over one pound of grain to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and one pound of food that needs to be handed over to the guards, and no matter how much grain this villager produces, the rest is his own! This villager produces ten catties of grain, and he has eight catties of rations left; If this villager can produce 100 catties of grain, then he will be able to leave 98 catties! ”

Guo Yongzhong was walking, thinking about Liu Juntao's words in his mind, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and he said secretly: "According to Juntao's idea, maybe you can really mobilize the talents of the villagers!" Didn't Jun Tao say that the master is in the people! ”

Looking at the cultivated land in front of him, the corners of Guo Yongzhong's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and his mood became extremely happy.

Different from Guo Yongzhong's cheerfulness, Zhang Baigui was a little worried at this time, frowning and staring at a stack of papers, and sighed uncontrollably.

And there are more than a dozen apprentices and craftsmen sitting next to Zhang Baigui, and everyone's expressions are not much different from Zhang Baigui, and they are all full of sadness.

"This Juntao, isn't this embarrassing for me? Let me build a firearm! This is something more piercing than bows and arrows and armor, why didn't he let me forge artillery! ”

Zhang Baigui couldn't help but complain, and a craftsman next to him seemed to remember something, and said with some fear: "I met Mr. Lian a few days ago, and I really heard him ask, who of us has cast artillery!" Mr. Lian said that he knew the method, and he was a craftsman who had actually done it! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Baigui was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground, and it took a long time to recover his breath and glared at the craftsman with murderous eyes.

"That's it! Let's take a look at these patterns given by Mr. Lian, and see which firearms we start with! ”

Zhang Baigui gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Lian has given a time limit, if it can't be completed, let's wait for the deduction together!" Besides, if anyone has the courage to say anything about this, the old man dares to guarantee that he will definitely be a dead end! ”
