【0310 Return to Weijiazhuang to prepare】
However, the castle-shaped warehouse has a large cross-section, and is mainly used to stock up on goods and prevent bandits.
You can also hoard people, and there is no pressure to load thousands of people at a time, and you can even load 1,500 to 2,000 people if you squeeze it.
The Pavilion is a wooden pavilion next to the castle inn, with a row of pavilion corridors and a row of wooden houses.
The people who built it are all high-level craftsmen, and the simple and beautiful construction is simple and beautiful, if it can survive for hundreds of years and put it in future generations, it will definitely be a national cultural relics protection unit.
This castle is the warehouse, and the Bulao Pavilion is mainly for the people who go to Weijiazhuang and the people who come out of Weijiazhuang to rest.
Even if you don't enter the castle, you can only stay temporarily in the fine house next to the Bulao Pavilion, which can provide temporary accommodation for dozens of people.
This is all for Wei Bao to make the business bigger in the future, and to make it convenient for people who have a relationship with Weijiazhuang to come and go.
The reason why it is called Bulao Pavilion is such an elegant name is to entrust Wei Bao's beautiful yearning.
In the modern muddy nightmare for nearly 30 years, I hope that in the era of the Ming Dynasty, I can live a period of agelessness, can withstand the precipitation of the years, and never fade.
In the pavilion of the Bulao Pavilion, there is also a cylindrical stone tablet written by Wei Bao himself, and the stone tablet is on the stone round table in the middle of the pavilion.
I saw the setting sun
and your shadow
Sing loneliness into a song
My blood boiled like fire
Such as the reddest flower
In full bloom, there is no fear of anything
All that's all there is left is a glass of wine
If you are drunk, it is only a tear
Look at the way you don't feel good
Let the tears dry up
But I can't get rid of loneliness
I'm not afraid of the red dust ridiculous
Laughing is not boring
Who will be able to go through the years without getting old
Tears to whom to hang
Who knows
It's okay if I have a dream with you
Anyway, in the end, I forgot who remembered the present and laughed
Why bother to ask, it's still difficult
It's better to put a cup and sing
I sang aloud
Whoever can hear and who can echo me'
This inscription is a lyric, one of the few modern songs that Wei Bao remembers, and he felt that it was somewhat consistent with the name of the Bulao Pavilion, so he wrote this tablet.
At the same time, there is also a bit of an idea of vassal elegance, people come to Weijiazhuang first, they must first go to the Immortal Pavilion, and when they arrive at the Immortal Pavilion, they must come in and sit at the round stone table.
You can see the inscriptions you wrote, and you can see your own words and writing.
Wei Bao originally liked calligraphy, and then he was assigned by Liao Fuzi and Song Yingxing, and he wrote in small letters. Although it is not at the level of writing a stone tablet and making people copy, it is not too ridiculous.
Otherwise, the average level of talent will have to write a stone tablet, which will make people laugh.
There is another factor, Wei Bao is the owner here, and the owner leaves some ink treasures, and it is not easy for others to say anything.
The main body of the castle outside the old pavilion is basically built, all of them are made of large cement bricks, each piece is very large, so that the wall is built in this way, it seems to be very solid, not only beautiful, but also has a heavy feeling, which is by no means comparable to the small bunkers of this era.
There are many small bunkers in western Liaoning, generally along the road, and there are more in eastern Liaoning, these small bunkers, one or two miles, are used to prevent slavery.
In fact, what Wei Bao disliked the most was the defense system of building fortifications in the late Ming Dynasty.
Like Wei Bao's Weijiazhuang, he was determined to build an important town on his own, and it was okay to build more fortifications.
But the whole world relies on building fortifications to squeeze and defend the slaves, it's really stupid, how big is the city? But how big is the wilderness?
If you keep building bunkers, even if you build them for a thousand years or 10,000 years, it is impossible to build bunkers outside the entire gate, right?
Not to mention that there is not so much silver, and there is not so much manpower.
More than 100 workers, mostly working in the middle of the night, in a small construction company.
These small construction companies are joint-stock companies formed by themselves according to Wei Bao's meaning.
Not only external marketing, internal management cooperation, but also a bunch of joint-stock companies in the Tiandi business under Wei Bao.
Because Wei Bao took the line of monopoly capitalism, he was determined from the beginning and never wavered.
"Childe, there are still a lot of people doing things, should we go directly, or stay in the Immortal Pavilion for a while?" Fan Xiaolin asked.
"There's no one chasing you? Childe, why are you so nervous today? Is something wrong? Wang Qiuya also asked.
Along the way, Wei Bao didn't say much.
As he came to this era, Wei Bao became more and more able to appreciate the powerful power of the big family, especially the super bosses like the Wu family and the ancestral family, like big crocodiles, not medium and large fish like him.
Hardness can only end up with a broken head and bleeding.
Wei Bao was not so arrogant that he thought that by making a little money, he could protect himself by virtue of having a relationship with Wang Tiqian, which was completely maintained by money, and a completely unreliable relationship.
Not to mention anything else, if others really work hard and dispatch a large army, he is a fart.
One or two thousand ordinary people, plus a few hundred recruits who have just been trained once, where is the opponent of the imperial army? Two or three thousand people at random would be enough for him to die.
These armies of the Ming Dynasty may be looking for death when they fight Jiannu, but Wei Bao knows very well the temperament of these warlords, killing their own people, and using force internally, they are all oxen flying executioners, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the victory.
The fully armed Daming guards, each of them is Wu Sangui, one Wu Sangui is powerful enough, two or three thousand Wu Sangui, can wipe out Weijiazhuang overnight!
"It's nothing, don't worry too much." Wei Bao indifferently said what happened in the Wu family, these two are his personal secretaries, and Wang Qiuya has just had a relationship with him, so Wei Bao has no need to hide anything from his woman.
Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin covered their mouths in fright, such a big thing, is there nothing like this? Now that I have offended the Wu family and the ancestral family at the same time, these two super families, how can they live in Liaoxi in the future?
"This is too domineering, the son refuses to be a son-in-law, this is a reasonable thing, just angry about this?" Fan Xiaolin said indignantly.
"I'm not sure that Wu Xiang is really angry, he looks unhappy, how unhappy he is, and he can't be sure, let people prepare silver, I promised to give him 200,000 taels of silver, and he still has to pay it in full, and he must be faithful!" Wei Bao Road.
Fan Xiaolin nodded, agreeing with Wei Bao's point of view, no matter when, even if he is dealt with, what he promised before must be done, "I will arrange it immediately, give them so much silver for nothing, and the Wu family may not appreciate it, it is really angry to think about it." ”
"Then in that case, in two days, Gongzi and Wu Sangui will compete, Wu Sangui will definitely be ruthless, what should I do then?" Wu Xuexia suddenly remembered something and said worriedly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of in martial arts, if I can't beat it, won't I leave? Can he still deadlift me and not let me throw in? Wei Bao said disapprerovingly: "Even if the big families in the entire western Liaoning place heavy bets, it will be at most two or three million taels of silver!" I'm fifty to one, and the bet of five million taels is only to lose 100,000 taels of silver, and the compensation within 100,000 taels of silver, we can afford it, it's no big deal, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, regress, and avoid the edge for the time being! Wei Bao comforted Wang Qiuya.
Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin both nodded, feeling that Gongzi didn't panic, what they were most afraid of was that Gongzi himself was messing up.
Wei Bao walked around the castle, he was very satisfied with the inn castle next to the Bulao Pavilion, and secretly waited for the city wall to be built, and the bright and dark forts around the city wall were raised, and the trench barbed wire fence was enough to build three lines of defense, not to mention touching his own city wall, it was very difficult to break through the castle strongholds on the periphery, and his own defense line was really impregnable!
It's a pity that it is still only in the embryonic form and has not yet taken shape, otherwise, as long as I shrink to Weijiazhuang, who can help myself?
When the craftsmen saw Gongzi coming to the side, they greeted Wei Bao one after another.
"Go ahead and leave me alone." Wei Bao Road.
Everyone said that they continued to work, and they all worked hard, they were small construction companies that built independently, they did a lot of work, made a lot of money, and were full of motivation.
Wei Bao saw a lot of food piled up in the castle, and the two people from the logistics department were sleeping next to it.
"These two thousand stone grain were sent by a large family, and when it was late, they reported to me, so I let them be put in the Bulao Pavilion first, and then sent to the Weijiazhuang granary at dawn tomorrow, and I asked people to start building a large granary that can store 5 million stone of grain." Fan Xiaolin said to Wei Bao: "Childe has been busy running around today, and I haven't bothered to tell you yet." ”
Wei Bao nodded and said, "You did a good job, but you can build a large granary with 5 million stone of grain?" ”
Thinking about it, he was still busy with dozens of stones, hundreds of stones of grain, but now he is often thousands of stones, tens of thousands of stones, hundreds of thousands of stones, hundreds of thousands of stones, and millions of stones.
Now there is no need to worry about food, what worries is that this trip has brought in so much grain, and it is necessary to raise more than 1.2 million taels of silver turnover in a short period of time, otherwise it is not enough to just collect grain and not give money.
When the time comes, I won't be able to take out so much silver to pay the bills, and the big families will be united, then they can really kill themselves, this is the combination of the big families in the entire western Liaodong Liaodong, and it is much stronger than the collection of rich households in the four miles near Jinshanli at the beginning.
"Originally, I said that I would build a granary that can store tens of millions of stones." Fan Xiaolin said: "The granary can not only store grain, but also put other materials that are easy to mold and need to be maintained. ”
Wei Bao nodded and said, "It's okay, you can do whatever you want, I have no opinion." ”
Wei Bao would not have had this kind of doubt, Fan Xiaolin's methods are all conventional means, and they should all be done.
If Wei Bao still follows the plan of carefully building Weijiazhuang, he will not hesitate at all, the key is that Wei Bao is now retreating, and he doesn't know how the Wu family and the ancestral family will deal with him this time.
When he was young, Wei Bao took Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, as well as a team led by Chang Wuye to continue to hurry, from the Bulao Pavilion to the city wall, and a stick of incense, from the city wall to Jinshan, it would take more than an hour.
The foundation of the more than 200-mile-long city wall has been completed, which is already a fast, unimaginable non-scientific speed for this era when there are no large carriers and cranes!
It's all up to the speed at which thousands of people can push it out with small carts.
Wei Bao originally estimated that the eight-meter-high city wall would take at least five years to complete, but now it seems that the current manpower is developing to 20,000, at this rate, with sufficient manpower, it is estimated that the city wall can be completed in two years!
According to his previous plan, roads, bridges, aqueducts, drainage canals, river embankments, and seawalls are all under construction.
Very happy with this speed.
Some regret that they shouldn't make trouble outside, they should be low-key, make money steadily, and keep the construction speed of Weijiazhuang.
But if you think about it, it's not active to cause trouble, it's all passive, okay? Zu Kefa came up indiscriminately and pointed at his nose and messed around, did he make a turtle with a shrunken head?
Wu Xiang wants to let himself into the rich, will he agree?
It's all something you can't choose.
It's to compete with Wu Sangui, that's what Wu Sangui found first, okay?
Wei Bao secretly thought that if he really wanted to avoid these things, he would not be able to leave Weijiazhuang!
But if you don't leave Weijiazhuang, how can you develop?
Where will he achieve the fame of Xiucai?
As long as there is development, it is impossible to avoid the eyes of jealousy and hatred.
By the time I got home, it was already midday, and in a few moments, it would be dawn.
Because it was late at night, Wei Bao didn't make a noise and quietly returned home.
If it is dawn, there will be people who stop and salute when the son enters and leaves.
"Don't bother my mom and dad, I'll get some sleep first." Wei Bao said to Fan Xiaolin in front of his wooden house. Looking at his big wooden house, Wei Bao felt a lot more at ease, everything is not as good as home, only here did he really feel safe.
"Childe, don't worry, come back here, rest in peace, every time I leave Weijiazhuang, I also feel scared." Fan Xiaolin smiled.
"Do you want someone to bathe your son in water first?" Wang Qiuya asked.
Wei Bao pinched his neck, he was a little tired and wanted to sleep, but after all, he was a person who loves cleanliness, and nodded: "Hold on, I'm a little sleepy." ”
Wang Qiuya said yes, and hurriedly said to the four personal female secretaries who had heard the sound and served Wei Bao's residence full-time: "The son wants to bathe." ”
The four secretaries agreed and hurried to prepare.
The female secretary of Wei Bao's secretariat, life and work, in fact, are difficult to separate, they are all selected by Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya, the girls in the original Jiazhong, taught them to read and write, taught them to do all kinds of things, all kinds of rules, and slowly cultivated.
Many of the female secretaries have also received special agent training from the Statistics Office.
The Procuratorate and the Statistics Office are the two major departments under the direct control of Wei Bao, and for other functional departments, Wei Bao generally does not directly intervene in the details, but only controls high-level personnel.
The Public Prosecutor's Office encompasses the functions of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Public Prosecutor's Office, and is mainly responsible for internal control, including the monitoring of agents of the Statistics Office.
Mainly internally.
The Statistics Office is a secret service organization, which controls everything internally and externally.
Although the number of people in the procuratorial office is less than one-tenth of that of the statistical office, it has greater authority and higher level of personnel, surpassing the statistical office.
The Statistics Office is headed by Wei Bao and assisted by Lin Wenbiao.
The procuratorate is only responsible for Wei Bao, and according to the districts, like the Statistics Office, each district has a special manager in charge.
The entire system of Weibao has been formed, and what remains is to run in and eliminate all kinds of problems that arise in the process of advancing time.
After Wei Bao bathed, he meditated, and then asked Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin to pinch his back and loosen his bones.
If Fan Xiaolin is not there, it is usually Wang Qiuya who massages Wei Bao, but Fan Xiaolin has learned some medical skills from Cheng Blind, in fact, Fan Xiaolin is better at pressing, and she has a lot of experience in correcting the position of bones.
Wei Bao sometimes needs a massage, sometimes not, generally when the pressure is high, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep peacefully, so I need a massage.
"Hmm." Wei Bao felt a little pain and snorted.
"Childe, is it painful? Do you want me to tap? Fan Xiaolin was holding Wei Bao's two arms, using her two knees against Wei Bao's back, giving him a back and correcting his back bones and spine.
"It's okay, comfortable." Wei Bao laughed.
There was a click, coming from Wei Bao's spine.
Wei Bao breathed a long sigh of relief, now it was completely comfortable! He doesn't pay much attention to the physical person, often unconsciously hunchbacked, fortunately now he has crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, and there is a sister who serves carefully, otherwise it will definitely still be like modern times, people who are less than thirty years old, they are slightly hunchbacked, and it is definitely not good-looking.
Fan Xiaolin then asked Wei Bao to lie flat on his front and pinched Wei Bao's leg bones.
Wang Qiuya used a hot towel to compress Wei Bao's eyes and gently pressed it around Wei Bao's eye sockets.
The two girls have good skills, Wei Bao is comfortable, and he fell asleep after a while.
Only in such a comfortable environment can he temporarily stop thinking about a lot of pressure and enter a blank state.
Wei Bao slept until half the afternoon, and still didn't wake up, Wei Bao couldn't stay up late, couldn't pretend to be too much pressure, or the pattern was too small, stay up a little late, and feel a little more pressure, so he had to sleep hard to recover a little.
During this period, Wei's father and Wei's mother came several times, and they knew that Wei Bao had rushed back overnight, and they were very worried.
However, Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya refused to say anything, and kept comforting them and said that the son was just homesick, so he rushed back overnight, but there was nothing wrong.
The two of them took out Wei Bao's student uniform and the waist card representing Xiucai's identity to show Wei's father and Wei's mother.
Suddenly the two of them couldn't keep their mouths together, Fan Laopimple and Wang Zhihui and his wife, as well as a few good neighbors who had followed Wei's father and Wei's mother for a long time, couldn't help but praise Wei Gongzi for his intelligence, only 14 years old, he won the fame of Xiucai in one fell swoop, and his future is bound to be limitless.
When Wei Bao woke up, he had dinner first, then went to see his parents, and had to chat with a group of people for a while, and then called a meeting of important people from the Statistics Office and the Guard.
The meeting room is in Wei Bao's big wooden house, and Wei Bao's meetings were originally placed in the main hall and large living room.
However, Wei Bao felt that it was not modern enough and did not have a long table, so he arranged the side hall to look like a conference room in later generations.
The long conference table is lined with chairs, and on the wall behind the main seat, there is a portrait of Wei Bao, who wears white gloves and stands with a baton in his hand, dressed in a military uniform of the guard.
There are two flags on both sides of the portrait, the left is the flag of the Heaven and Earth Society, the right is also the flag of the Heaven and Earth Society, and there is a big five-pointed star flag in the middle of the black and red colors.
The entire conference room is very seriously arranged, and the entire conference room in Weijiazhuang is arranged like this.
Only the most important and highest-level meetings were held in the temporary residence of Wei Gongzi.
The stewards who came knew that there was something big.
Also present were Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin, and Xu Rui from the Weibao Secretariat who did not participate because they were in Shanhaiguan.
And then Luo San was stunned.
Although Chang Wuye, Lin Wenbiao, Liu Chunshi and others knew the specific situation, they did not reveal the slightest tone to others, which is the strict discipline of the Tiandi firm.
Wei Bao personally told what had happened.
Wang Qiuya sat next to Wei Bao, quickly taking minutes of the meeting.
Everyone is indignant, bullying them, bullying the son, bullying the president, just can't do it!
"Childe, no matter how powerful his ancestral Wu family is, if he dares to provoke our Weijiazhuang, let's do it with them!" Madman Tan was the most excited: "We have more than 1,000 people in the Ground Guard and Coast Guard combined, and there are also people from the Statistics Bureau, if they really do it, they won't be able to please them!" ”
A group of military stewards of the Coast Guard and the Escort Corps echoed loudly one by one, and the crowd was excited, and they practiced for half a month, all of them were foot drills, standing and sitting, and they were gearing up to make meritorious contributions.
Chang Wuye even said that he was going to screw off the heads of Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, who were about fifty years old, and they were still like fire.
The attitude of the officials in the army made Wei Bao very satisfied, no matter whether he had brains or not, he had the right attitude anyway, he could resolutely defend himself when something happened, and he was not afraid of death, this is the bloody nature of Wei Bao.
Other non-military stewards, including Luo Sanzi, Lin Wenbiao, Liu Chunshi and others, were relatively calm.
They all know the strength of their opponents, and they know that if they are the first to use force, they will definitely kill themselves, and they do not think that the situation has deteriorated to the point where they must prepare for all the soldiers.
"Steward Luo, Chunshi, you all talk about it." Wei Bao said to Luo San and Liu Chunshi.
They are all veterans, and Wei Bao values the opinions of these people.
"President, I think it's better to respond to everything unchanged, and see how the opponent makes a move. Our strength is still weak, and if we are clearly against the government, it is equivalent to ......" Luo San was stunned and did not say anything about the rebellion, but everyone could understand it.
In private, they all call Wei Bao the son, but on this kind of formal meeting occasion, everyone is generally called the president, which is a natural habit of addressing.
Liu Chunshi nodded and said: "Luo Jinshan's words are good, president, do you want to let the escort team, the coast guard and the land guard, as well as the people from the Statistics Bureau prepare, don't tell the entire Weijiazhuang people first, there is no need to make everyone frightened, it is really irreparable, I believe that the vast majority of people, as long as the president raises his arms, will swear to accompany him!" Before something big happened, let everyone know that the villagers couldn't resist a few officers and soldiers. ”
Lin Wenbiao approached Wei Gongzi and said softly: "Childe, if you are only worried about the competition with Wu Sangui, now that I have successfully sent someone into the Wu family, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to give Wu Sangui a chance before Wu Sangui competes." ”
Wei Bao signaled that he understood, and said to everyone: "What everyone said makes sense, first non-proliferation news, let the escort team, the coast guard, the land guard, and the people of the Statistics Department prepare first, and see the situation." But prepare for the worst! What I'm most worried about is that the Wu family of my ancestral family has brought thousands of officers and soldiers, and if I don't say a word, I will be arrested when I come up! There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, this is Liaoxi after all. The Coast Guard also needs to be prepared to evacuate with supplies. ”
After hearing President Wei say this, the public stewards felt the tension of the situation, and after making a record, they agreed in unison.
After talking about the internal management of the army for a while, Wei Bao said that he was satisfied with the progress and asked them to disperse first, leaving Chang Wuye and Lin Wenbiao, and then discuss.
Because Chang Wuye is responsible for teaching Wei Bao kung fu, Lin Wenbiao is responsible for sparring, and Lin Wenbiao is also responsible for sending people into Wu's mansion, all of whom are related to Wei Bao's relationship with Wu Sangui this time, so Wei Bao left them down to continue to talk about martial arts.
Now the Wu family and the ancestral family have not made a move in a hard way!
"Childe, I bought a subordinate of the Wu family, a servant in his twenties, who can make people inferior to Wu Sangui before the competition, and when the time comes, Wu Sangui will have soft legs and weak feet, so Childe doesn't have to worry." Lin Wenbiao said: "Now we have more than a thousand trained guards, and the other party is an army of two or three thousand, so we don't panic." ”
"Will the other side send a large army, let's talk. Let's talk about Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui first, if Wu Sangui is soft and weak, unable to play normally, fools can see that there is fraud, and then all the people who bet will be dissatisfied, and don't treat everyone as fools, Lang Zhong can see the problem. Even if we don't know when we played tricks, we will postpone the competition again. It's not okay. Wei Bao said.
Lin Wenbiao said: "I won't put a lot of money, just let him be a little worse than usual, and increase the chances of winning a little son." ”
Wei Bao nodded and looked at Fifth Master Chang: "Fifth Master, you have worked with Wu Sangui, you should have an understanding of Wu Sangui's skills." To tell you the truth, what are my chances of winning against Wu Sangui? ”
"Childe, with all due respect, there is no chance of winning." Chang Wuye sighed and said: "I kicked Wu Sangui that day, I feel that Wu Sangui's legs are very powerful, the lower plate is very stable, the strength is at least several times stronger than Gongzi, and his skills are also very agile. ”
Wei Bao sweats, practice for a year or two before he can get close to Wu Sangui? What is this grammar? In other words, in two years, you don't think I'll be on par with Wu Sangui, right? Then let alone defeat Wu Sangui, right?
"It's not enough to just make Wu Sangui soft, he uses hard skills, Gongzi learns Tai Chi, pays attention to rising and peaceful, and it is best to make Wu Sangui impetuous, so that others not only can't see that we have a bad job, but can also increase the chances of winning a little son." Chang Wuye came up with an idea.
Lin Wenbiao nodded thoughtfully: "It's not difficult, but if you are impetuous, will you fight more fiercely?" I'm afraid that my son won't be able to bear it? After all, soft hands and weak feet and impetuousness, these are two medicinal effects, who knows what will happen when used together? ”
