256 Big Iron Evergreen (B)
Under the hints of Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi, no one expressed an opinion, and they all said that the decision of the imperial court was very wise and resolutely supported the decision of the imperial court. They made the imperial court's suggestion a decision because they knew that there was no room for them to intervene, that the repossession of military land was an established policy that could not be questioned, and that half of the subsidy was acceptable to the majority. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. They also know that if anyone wants to say that half of the subsidy is less, it means that he has received too many benefits before, which is equivalent to asking Jinyiwei to investigate him, and everyone is not stupid and will not get along with him.
At the beginning of May, the 15,000 people who had completed their training were told that they had been discharged from the army, and that they had been taken over by a unit called the Great Iron Company, whose shareholders were said to include the emperor, ministers, merchants, and royal family members. Everyone didn't understand what kind of existence this big iron company was and felt very confused, only that the big iron company let them continue to do their old job, that is, to build roads, houses, land and canals, and so on. At first, they wanted to make other choices, but then they gradually realized that they had no choice, at least now that they had a small amount of money to eat, shelter and housing, and everyone was confused and gradually liked the new job.
As soon as they left, the remaining 40,000 people were stationed in the training camp of Zhang Jing'an and Zhao Shujiao, and in the past, Gao Di wanted these 40,000 people to go to Zhang Jing'an for military training only, they thought that these people were veterans who had fought for several years, and they should already have a deep affection for the military camp and would not want to retire and go home. Chromium brought the requirements of the Military Affairs Yuan to allow the soldiers to choose, and as a result, at least half of the people knew that they could freely choose and wanted to retire and go home, Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi were surprised and had to respect the choice of the soldiers, and several people discussed it and decided to start recruiting to replenish the number of soldiers.
Those who want to fight a war will focus on training military skills such as strength, endurance, fighting, and battle formations, and those who want to retire will mainly train production skills such as road repair, house repair, bridge building, and field and water canals. There is nothing more comfortable in the world than not offending people with both money and money.
The soldiers were in good spirits and the officers were satisfied, but the two governors, Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi, were not in spirit and were also very dissatisfied, because Qin Cha left Liu Qiao behind, and the two governors didn't understand what the big iron company was doing. Fortunately, Liu Qiao knew what he should do, and Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi wanted to understand how the big iron company ran through their behavior.
Jinyiwei and the general guard, there were only more than 5,000 people, and then the personnel gradually swelled up to 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the power of the East Factory increased greatly during the Apocalypse, and many Jinyi Wei personnel changed their faces to the East Factory as a servant, after Wei Zhongxian lost power, these people came back to continue to serve as Jinyiwei, and the personnel were still some distance from the heyday, but it also reached more than 30,000. At the beginning, everyone thought that the Apocalypse would reduce the personnel of the Jinyi Guard, but who knew that the Apocalypse not only did not cut down, but continued to increase a lot from the front-line meritorious soldiers, of course, it was to eliminate a group of people who came in to maintain balance, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness and power of the Jinyi Guard.
Among them, about 10,000 people were guarding and spying on intelligence in Beijing, and the remaining more than 20,000 people were stationed in each province and important places, and about 1,000 people were stationed in each locality, mainly to monitor the administration of local officials and the soldiers of the guard posts to guard the grain depots and silver depots in each province. According to the theory of second-level supervision, Tianqi let the Jinyi Guards monitor the guards at the same time, and stationed five hundred eunuchs around them to monitor the Jinyi guards, and when there were not enough people in the palace, all the people who had been castrated in the capital but did not enter the palace were incorporated and sent to various places after simple training, and the internal guards of these people were immediately buried alive as soon as they found misbehaving, so as to ensure that they did things honestly.
After Liu Qiao came to Guiyang, he immediately went to the military camp of Jinyiwei with the head of the internal guard who accompanied him to read out the will of the Apocalypse, which was to register the military fields, official fields, and official shops sorted out by the local government as soon as possible, and count them as assets of the Great Iron Company. Because Tianqi received it in the name of the Great Iron Company instead of saying that it would be levied as the imperial village, and that it would pay taxes like ordinary land shops, everyone had no resistance, and just silently watched what Liu Qiao was going to do next.
Zhu Xieyuan is also the governor of Guizhou and Huguang provinces, and the soldiers in Guiyang City must obey his orders, and Liu Qiao naturally has someone to report to him what he does every day, so Zhu Xieyuan can get the news as soon as possible, and even Gao Di and Cai Fuyi sometimes have to ask him about the situation□ Qiao did not do anything in private, and did not say anything in private, all in front of everyone, and some things were repeatedly emphasized because they were afraid that someone would not understand, so Gao Di and others could know clearly even if they did not see it with their own eyes.
At first, Zhu Xieyuan received the news that Liu Qiao had taken over the shops handed over to him and immediately sent people to implement them, and gave a lecture to the merchants who wanted to continue to operate in the shops, asking them to pay taxes on time and operate in accordance with the law, otherwise they would be expelled immediately. Of course, Zhu Xieyuan and others understand what Liu Qiao means, this person generally has to take a look when he gets the land, for example, when the country newly occupies the land, he has to send soldiers to carry pole guns to declare sovereignty, or the old farmers will immediately carry a hoe to loosen the soil after dividing the land, anyway, it all means that this place has changed owners, everyone must know.
Then Liu Qiao sent Jinyi Wei to all the official fields to see the growth of the crops, this matter does not need to be reported to Zhu Xieyuan, because Liu Qiao sent someone to say on the same day, ready to harvest the crops by himself, no longer trouble the army□ Qiao said that the harvest in the field will be paid in advance in the form of grain and silver, and the estimated amount is not much different from Zhu Xieyuan's calculation, everyone also agreed to sign that even the land and crops have been handed over□ Qiao immediately pulled out 5,000 of the 15,000 new people who were responsible for regulating the land, Let them bring out some people from Zhao Shujiao to harvest crops, and the rest of the people who should build roads and houses continue to do their own thing.
Immediately afterwards, someone reported that among the people who followed Liu Qiao out to inspect the farmland and the newly built villages several times, there were a few people in civilian clothes, they had beards and did not look like internal guards, and they all had a bookish air in their gestures, which was very different from the ordinary martial artists who were angry and high-spirited, which made Zhu Xieyuan and others curious. In the following days, I heard that these people came out with some drawings, and asked those who had already joined the big iron company and those who had recently participated in the training to organize the fields according to the drawings.
Zhu Xieyuan and the others discussed having Liu Qiao banquet in the name of Gao Di, and by the way, asked what they were doing, as the highest-ranking official in a province, if they didn't figure out these things, it would be a bit inappropriate for the emperor to ask.
Liu Qiao received Gao Di's invitation and came to the camp early the next morning, and when he arrived at the camp, he saw that Gao Di and Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi were all there, and there were two officers who were either adjutant generals or staff generals next to him. I only ate half of my breakfast, so I came here with my stomach in reserve. ”
Gao Yishou stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Qiao to invite him to sit down, and said, "Lord Liu has worked hard, drink two sips of herbal tea to quench your thirst first." ”
Liu Qiao sat down and took the tea handed by the attendant, took two sips, wiped his mouth and said, "Lord Gao's tea is really fragrant, is it Pu'er tea from Yunnan?" Drinking two sips of herbal tea on this hot day really quenches your thirst. ”
Gao Di said: "Lord Liu knows the goods, this is indeed the Pu'er tea brought by Lord Cai, I heard that Lord Liu is very busy this time, why do you say that you have nothing to do?" ”
Liu Qiao didn't think much about it when he saw Gao Di saying that he was busy, and said: "I was very busy a few days ago, mainly because I didn't figure out the key inside, and now I know that I almost know it, let them do their own things ♀, and the former emperor of Guizhou specially said that professional matters are handled by professionals much more effectively, and laymen help more and more, I didn't believe it at first, but later I learned that this is the case." ”
Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "Lord Liu is so blessed that you don't have to stare at it yourself, someone will help you do things, who are the professionals you are talking about?" Isn't it the person who went around the field with you the other day? ”
Liu Qiao said: "Lord Zhu also saw it? Those people are the people of Akaishu, and I mean the professionals I mean them. ”
Zhu Xieyuan asked strangely: "This big iron company is sent by the emperor to receive retired personnel, and it is a company that wants to centralize the management of all official fields and official shops, what does this Chishu company do?" ”
Liu Qiao said: "The shareholders of the big iron company include the emperor, ministers, large businessmen, royal relatives and many others, but the shareholders of the Chishu company are only the emperor. There are many affairs of the big iron company, such as opening money villages, building roads, repairing rivers, collectively farming, building houses collectively, promoting improved seeds, and so on. The main business of the Red Tree Company is only one thing, that is, to develop and cultivate new things, and they are in charge of high-yield crops, new weapons, and new civilian and military equipment. ”
Zhu Xieyuan suddenly realized and said: "Is it the first thing you said about corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes?" I heard that the output of those things was not high in the past, and then the Bo College has been thinking of a way, and now it has come up with a way? ”
Liu Qiao said: "Of course I came up with it, I heard that Xu Guangqi Xu personally went out to engage in hybrid selection, and the yield has been greatly improved, it is said that the Bo College is still continuing to cultivate, preparing to increase the yield and increase the cold tolerance again, and no one will be hungry at that time." I came to Guizhou this time to try out the yield of mountain planting, and I heard them say that the mountainous areas of Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan and Huguang provinces are the most suitable for growing these high-yield crops, I don't know if it's true. ”
Cai Fuyi asked: "I heard that these good seeds are the emperor's silver, and now the emperor has sent someone to personally see the planting effect, no matter how rich the emperor is, he can't afford to spend like this, is there any saying in it?"
