Chapter 402 - Primogeniture

After Sun Yuyun and Du Ruonan each brought the people in the house into the inner courtyard, Liu Renyu said to Ma Tianjun and Liu Renjie Nunu: "Come in with me and talk in the conference room." ”

Ma Tianjun and Liu Renjie received the order, so they followed Liu Renyu into the garrison mansion, and then went straight into the conference room.

"Heavenly Monarch, 60,000 people, give you 200,000 stone of grain, can you support it until the autumn harvest?" Liu Renyu waited for Ma Tianjun and Liu Renyu to sit down, and then asked Ma Tianjun.

"Dashuai, if you are frugal and eat, 200,000 stone of grain can be eaten until the autumn harvest." Ma Tianjun replied after thinking for a while.

"Well, I'll take care of it later, and you just have to wait for me to give you the food. By the way, there is one more thing, I gave you 100,000 taels of silver before I went to Liaodong for you to use for the project, how much money is left now? Liu Renyu asked.

"If you go back to the big handsome, there are still 60,000 taels of silver left." Ma Tianjun replied.

"Sixty thousand taels, it's okay, it's okay, Tianjun, I've asked Zhun Hong to control the marshal, and in the future, Ansai County will also be temporarily included in my control, Ansai County is not under the jurisdiction of the military town, so I want to recommend you to be the county governor of Ansai, and go there to take care of the affairs of civil affairs, what do you think?" Liu Renyu asked with a smile.

"Ansai Zhixian!?" When Ma Tianjun heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What's the matter, don't you want to be the magistrate? Of course, the magistrate is just a small official, and he will follow up the scholar and become a scholar in the future, and Hanlin is not the same as the editor. Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"Shuai, you misunderstood me. I had already given up on the idea of becoming an official, I just wanted to make a praise painting next to the marshal, or be a staff member, but I didn't think that the marshal would let me be an official, I was surprised. Ma Tianjun hurriedly explained.

"Tianjun, to be a magistrate, or to be a staff member, or to do praise paintings, the way of work is different, but the nature of the work is the same, that is, to do things for the town, do you say yes or no?" Liu Renyu said.

"What the marshal said is, I understand, I am willing to be the county of Ansai." Ma Tianjun said.

"That's very good, let me ask you, after you go to become the commander of Ansai County, who can you entrust the affairs of Jingbian Fort to?"

"Huang Chuanfeng, the mayor of Zhenbeibao, is down-to-earth and hardworking, conscientious, and extremely effective in handling interpersonal relationships, and is very loved by the people in Zhenbeibao, and has been trained in Zhenbeibao for more than two years, which is a great responsibility."

"Okay, that's him, let him come to Jingbian Fort to take your place, and I will find someone to operate your appointment as the commander of Ansai County." You are a serious national court, and your fame may not be very high, but over the years, not many Jinshi have come to Shaanxi to be the magistrate of the county and the prefect, so you are qualified to be the magistrate of the county.

As soon as I talked to Hong Zhishuai, I said that the external move does not avoid revenge, and the internal move does not avoid relatives, and you must always be pushed down to the position of the Ansai County Commander. Once you get there, remember to choose another place to rebuild an Ansai county. The current county seat of Ansai is two hundred and twenty miles away from our Jingbian Fort, which is really a bit far.

What I mean is to choose a new address a hundred miles from Jingbian Fort, build a new county seat of Ansai, and settle the extra 20,000 displaced people in it first. The construction mode of this county town should be the same as that of Liujiabao, covering an area of slightly larger, a radius of ten miles, the number of people who can accommodate it should be around 40,000 people, if I attack the thieves in the future, I will also send the rescued displaced people back to resettle, now we have not enough place, we will first settle 20,000 people, and then add people to it.

The new county town of Ansai was still built with reinforced concrete, the city walls were all made of reinforced concrete, and the houses were framed with reinforced concrete, and then filled with masonry. The planning model of the county town is also the same as that of Liujiabao, with commercial districts, mixed residential areas, industrial areas, administrative districts, and military districts all built separately, each performing its own duties and not interfering with each other. I think you're familiar with these things, and I think you should know how to do it, right? Liu Renyu said.

"Dashuai, I know what to do!" Ma Tianjun replied.

"Very good, the construction of the project, after the construction of Liujiabao is completed, you will take someone to select the address of the new Ansai County, and then I will move the building materials to that place, you will first be responsible for the construction of the Ansai County, and I will run the affairs of your appointment as the commander of Ansai County."

"I see." Ma Tianjun nodded.

"Remember this matter, and when the construction of Liujiabao is completed, this matter will be operated immediately. Now let me ask you first, how have the identity plates and household registration of the displaced people been done? Liu Renyufu asked again.

"If you go back to Dashuai, the statistics of the 60,000 displaced people have been completed, and their identity information has been collected, just wait for the relevant manufacturers to make the identity nameplate, and then send it to the displaced people."

"Let me ask you again, how many young people are among the homeless?"

"If you go back to Dashuai, the proportion of young and strong people among the displaced people is relatively large, and the proportion of old and weak women and children is relatively small, but there are as many as 26,000 young and strong people."

"There are so many! That's good, so that if I want to recruit soldiers, there will be enough to recruit them. Liu Renyu stroked his palms and smiled.

"Marshal, are you going to increase your troops again?" Ma Tianjun said in surprise.

"I have to increase the troops, now those thieves, there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses under the command of any leader, according to the current situation, I will be transferred to Shanxi by the imperial court sooner or later to suppress the thieves, the thieves in Shanxi have already formed a group, act together, advance and retreat together, they have 200,000 people, if I rely on 3,000 people to suppress the thieves, I am afraid that I will be outnumbered after all, so I naturally want to increase the army."

"I wonder how many more troops the marshal is going to have?" Ma Tianjun asked.

"Seven more troops, enough for 10,000." Liu Renyu replied.

"Isn't it too unrealistic for you to raise so many soldiers?" When Ma Tianjun heard this number, he couldn't help but be surprised.

You must know that the people under Liu Renyu's rule only have 90,000 people, and 10,000 soldiers will be removed, so there will inevitably be a shortage of labor.

Ma Tianjun felt that the situation was a little serious, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Dashuai, the people under your rule are only 90,000 in total, and now that 10,000 young people are recruited into the army, there will be a shortage of labor, I don't know where Dashuai plans to find someone to farm?" And to raise so many soldiers, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on Tian Fu alone. ”

"Farming is not only for men, but also for women, don't you say? And if I want to raise soldiers, I will never rely on the field, relying on this alone, I can't afford to raise so many troops, our Jingbian Fort mainly relies on commerce, if we rely on our Jingbian Fort developed commerce, we can not only feed these 10,000 troops, but also more troops.

I will build a large number of manufacturing factories in Liujiapu and the new county town of Ansai, in addition to the existing glass factory, soap factory, carriage factory, and reinforced concrete factory, I will also build a quilt factory to make clothes. I am going to introduce a new tool sewing machine, and to recruit women as workers, to add a new commodity to us. Liu Renyu smiled slightly and replied.

"Dashuai, do you mean to let women go out and show their faces and do men's work?" Ma Tianjun said in surprise.

"Exactly, in their Tessie, women are out to do things, to earn money to support their families. What Tessie did over there, I did the same here. Liu Renyu said.

On the land of Jingbian Fort, Liu Renyu said the same, so although Ma Tianjun, a traditional scholar, was not very satisfied with Liu Renyu's thinking, he couldn't say anything.

"Tianjun, how is the progress of Liujiabao's project?" Liu Renyufu asked again.

"Back to Dashuai, the core factory area and factory supporting facilities in the city, such as canteens, bathhouses, and staff dormitories are ready, which means that the industrial area has been repaired, and the commercial area, administrative area, residential and commercial mixed area, and military area have not been repaired for the time being." Ma Tianjun replied.

"Now that there are new displaced people joining and the labor problem has been solved, has the progress of the project been accelerated?"

"Back to Dashuai, now the progress of the siege has indeed accelerated a lot, and it is expected that within half a year, the entire Liujiabao can be completed. The factory area has been built and can be put into production. ”

"Very good!" Liu Renyu slapped the table suddenly, and under the great lift, he said in a loud voice: "Now I only rely on a few small workshops in Zhenbeibao, and the products produced can get more than 100,000 taels of dividends if they are sold. ”

"Can there be so many?" Ma Tianjun fox opened his mouth and said suspiciously.

"Don't you know this, there is a pirate named Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, and the protection fee collected at sea is tens of millions of taels a year. Let's do business and make as much money as we can. Tianjun, you go and talk to Daddy Zhao, and let him quickly recruit workers among the homeless.

Explain to him clearly that you must tell you about the favorable working conditions of being a worker, the eight-hour work system, five insurances and one housing fund, work-related injuries can be compensated, and the monthly salary is 10 taels of silver. This must be made clear to them, and if the displaced people do not choose to be workers, they will not be given land. And I am about to issue a new decree called primogeniture, so that some of them will not be able to work as workers. ”
