Chapter 71: A New Situation, a New Beginning (1)

Today's meeting is over, and tomorrow we can do more

Liu Renyu said goodbye to Du Ruonan, and then returned to the Jingbian Fort Garrison Mansion, and when he walked to the door of the mansion, he saw the words 'Garrison Mansion', he stopped, and looked at it for 1 minute before retracting his gaze.

Then he said to Liu Renjie with a smile on his face: "Go, call your uncles, Father Zhao, and Ma Wenshan, I, Liu Shoubei, will have the first meeting after coming to Jingbian Fort." ”

"Yes, sir." Liu Renjie took the order and left.

It didn't take long for those Qianzong, as well as Zhao Datie and Ma Tianjun to come to the garrison mansion for a meeting.

Under the leadership of Liu Renjie, everyone went to the reception room of the garrison mansion, and when they saw Liu Renyu sitting in the middle of the hall, they all knelt down, claiming to have seen the garrison.

Liu Renyu called for exemption, and everyone sat down.

So everyone according to their seniority, Li Jiye sat first on Liu Renyu's right hand, Ma Tianjun sat first on the left, and then Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Zhao Datie, Ma Wenshan, and Liu Renjie stood beside Liu Renyu according to the usual practice.

"Jiye, have all the tents outside the city been set up?"

"It's all set."

"How's the guard?"

"The carriage has been used as a wall, and the open and dark sentries have been laid out, the sword and shield men of Wenshan, and the pikemen of Desheng are on duty to guard, and the displaced people who are planted here with us are very safe."

"Very good, then I said Jiye, and everyone, you all remember that the 3,000 people outside the city are no longer homeless, they are the people in our Jingbian Fort City, and they are our own people, don't say so much, you know?"

"Yes, my lord, the rank has been recorded." Everyone said in unison.

"Good. Heavenly Monarch, how is the food of the people outside the city? Are they still satisfied? ”

"The humble duty to the people is porridge, wowotou, pickles, the dishes are the same as before, that is, today before dawn got up, walked for most of the day, are a little tired, so I added the amount to them, they are very full, and they are very grateful to the adults."

"That's good, then do we have enough food?"

"My lord, what we lack is silver, not food, we still have as much as 100,000 stones left in food, which is completely enough, that is, there are only 3,000 taels left in the silver, I hope that the adults will quickly send some money to the humble position."

"You life-urging ghost," Liu Renyu scolded with a smile, and then said: "I have made an oath with the Du family, I will sell our carriage and glass mirrors exclusively for them, and we will share sixty percent of the profits." In order to obtain the right to operate, their Du family was willing to take out 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stone of grain to join the household. ”

He said again: "Tomorrow, you will go to Miss Du and take 10,000 taels of silver to use first, and within the next 53 days, she will allocate 20,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stone of grain, and then she will allocate the rest of the money and grain to us in batches." ”

"That's great, I'll go to Miss Du tomorrow to discuss." Ma Tian rubbed his hands with joy.

"Look at your miser virtues, what a shame! Ah, by the way, you're done with this, and you still have to do these things. ”

"Please show me."

"The first thing, how many people there are in my Jingbian Fort City, this must be clarified, so in addition to checking the registration books of the imperial court, you must also take your subordinate scribes and painters to register from house to house, register the household registration, and draw down everyone's physiognomy in order to make the household registration book and identity plate;

He added: "The second thing is to record how many houses there are in the fort, how many people live in them, whether there are idle houses, and whether there are ownerless houses. ”

He continued: "The third thing, the land of Qingzhang, the land belonging to Jingbian Fort, is in whose name it is, and how many acres there are, are recorded; The fourth thing is to investigate whether the water conservancy facilities are complete. ”

"Yes, my lord, the lowly duties have been recorded."

"Well, Tianjun, there is something I want to remind you, Zheng Baihu and Sun Qian are always local natives, so you should be polite when you go to their house to do errands."

"My lord, I am a person from the Jiangnan Scholarly Sect, so I naturally know this." Ma Tianjun couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, oh, I forgot about this, you literati are the best at this kind of thing." Liu Renyu sneered.

"Oh, by the way, Daddy Zhao, please take the young men to a place called Zhangjiabao near Jingbian Fort tomorrow, that place was looted by mountain bandits and has become a ruin, but there are a lot of bricks and stones there, you take the young Zhuang and drive 20 freight carriages to transport all the bricks and stones there, let's build the city wall and build a house." Liu Renyu said again.

"Okay, Lord Liu, Elao Zhao has written it down." Father Zhao replied loudly.

"By the way, Daddy Zhao, I will transfer you and dozens of craftsmen from the industrial manufacturing plant, it won't have any impact on our production, right?"

"My lord, just rest assured, those old craftsmen are still in charge of things in the factory, this time the apprentices brought out by our old craftsmen, if the babies perform well this time, I plan to upgrade a few of them to the craftsman level." My lord, you don't feel sorry for money, don't you allow it? ”

"Look at what you said, young craftsmen are our future, as long as you do have the ability, you can be promoted to technicians, you old craftsmen are professionals, you think it's okay, that's okay, I just have to pay." Liu Renyu said briskly.

"Okay, Lord Liu, you just have to rest assured, that city wall, we will definitely repair it, it is solid, that house, we will also repair it, what is beautiful."

"Wow, Daddy Zhao, your idiom is good, give me a round of applause." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

"Pap, papa, papa, papa," the applause came and went.

"Hey, you descendants, don't laugh at this old bone." Zhao Datie waved his hand again and again.

"Haha, okay, let's move on."

"Renjie, inside Zhenbei Fort, how is that little red surveillance?"

"My lord, the lowly has sent 10 capable generals to closely monitor them, and in addition, the lowly has also arranged 100 capable young men who have experienced the battle to defend the city scattered around, if they have any changes, they can be locked up at any time."

"Very good, you remember, if a little red can't bear the loneliness and wants to rebel again, don't kill him and his comrades, we must arrest them first and get a solid confession, and then I can take action, otherwise we will kill the thieves who were appeased by Yang Zhitai without authorization, and Yang Zhitai will say that we will sabotage his appeasement plan."

"The lowly position has been recorded, and the lowly position will make the subordinates act carefully."

"Well, very well, in addition to this matter, there is one more thing, you also have to arrange it."

"Please show me."

"In the future, we will divide the land for the people outside the city, as well as the people in the city, I heard that most of those lands are in the hands of Zheng Baihu and Sun Qianzong, I must find them to get all those lands, if I can't get them, my policy will go bankrupt, so I can only think of some special methods."

"Hey, my lord, there is no need to use special methods, if they don't follow, take a few capable subordinates to find an opportunity, cover the sack, raise the knife and fall, and do them, and then their land will be ours. What do you think of the idea of being lowly? Zhang Tieniu suddenly said.

"Tie Niu, are you a green-skinned scoundrel in the market? How can I come up with such a bad idea, two court officials died under my rule, do you think I am not responsible? Do you think the Inspector will sit idly by? Motherfucker, you have a bad idea, you shut up. ”

"Yes, sir." Zhang Tieniu said depressedly.

"Renjie, the one-month repair period given by Hong Junmen, there are 3 days left to arrive, and then I will take you out to fight the rogue, you can't preside over that matter, so you recommend someone to preside over the situation in Jingbian Fort City, who do you think is available?"

"My lord, Chen Danqing is recommended for his humble position, he is cautious, thoughtful, and calm, and he is a capable leader, and he is up to the task."

"He's a talent, and the person you recommend has won my heart."

"My lord, I don't know what you want Chen Danqing to do?"

"To spy on the illegal affairs of Zheng Baihu and Sun Qianzong, I have to record them in detail, and find human and physical evidence, I will be of great use."

"Yes, sir. The lowly will go and tell him. ”

"Well, I will give him a book, let him recruit the right people on his own, train according to our methods, pay attention, the people recruited must be innocent and good families, there can be no green-skinned scoundrels, rangers, soldiers, the number is limited to 108 people, from now on, simply let him be in charge of the news investigation department, you will be in charge of the cavalry."

"Yes, my lord, Chen Danqing is really suitable for this line of work."

"Well, Jiye, I have a big matter to entrust to you."

"Please show me."

"In 3 days, I will take most of the regular army out to suppress the thieves, and I plan to hand over the fundamental place of Jingbian Fort City to you to stay behind."

"Thank you for your trust, dare to ask your lordship, how many people will you leave for your humble position."

"I don't plan to bring your firecrackers to use, the combat effectiveness of the thieves is not very strong, I don't think you need the firecrackers, you can use the soldiers of Desheng, Tie Niu, Renjie and Wenshan to fight the thieves."

"There are more than 100 regular soldiers, as long as it is not attacked by a large number of thieves, I have the confidence to defend the city."

"Well, these regular soldiers in your hands are all miners, and you can't lose your old business, from tomorrow, the content of daily physical training will be changed, or the old rules, digging tunnels. There are moats and moats, and you lead people to direct the young men outside the city to dig. ”

"Yes, sir."

"Heavenly Monarch, when the identity plates of all our people are made, we will send them out, and then we can implement this system. But all outsiders from the fort, no matter what they do, if they are relatives or friends of the people in the fort, and they live in the people's homes, do a good job of registration, and if the outsiders from the fort commit crimes, the people in the fort will sit together. ”

He added: "If outsiders from the fort do not have relatives and friends to take refuge in the fort, they must go to the inn or a designated place to live, and you must send someone to monitor them, and if these people have any bad intentions, they will be killed or arrested immediately, remember?" ”

"Yes, my lord, the humiliation has been written."

"Now that the thieves can capture the city, most of them still rely on the fine work and the hungry people as internal responses, so we must do not let the people in the fort starve, and do not let the fine work take the opportunity to cause chaos, these two points, when I am not there, you must do a good job."

"My lord has given me so much money and food, and so many servants to use, if I can't get things done, I really don't have the face to see you."

"Well, that's good. Desheng, Tie Niu, Renjie, Wenshan. ”

"Humble duty."

"In the past 3 days, you have trained your soldiers, 3 days later, we will go on the expedition, after the expedition, how to fight, we have our own Hongjun Gate, Du Zongzhen arrangement, I only focus on one thing, you must explain clearly to your soldiers."

"Please make it clear."

"On this expedition, whether it is a soldier or a military attache in charge, we are not allowed to say that our salary is good, we must say that our salary is in arrears, and we can only make ends meet with monthly food, let alone have no food, in addition, we must also say that we went out to fight Jiannu this time and suffered heavy casualties, in a word, how miserable you can say. Remember? ”

"Yes, the lowly rank is recorded."

"Well, whoever can't remember it will be punished for leaking military secrets."

"Yes, my lord, the lowly rank will remember it clearly, and it will also be remembered by the soldiers under him."

"Okay, I've made it clear what I should say, you all go down and do things seriously."

"Yes, sir." The crowd answered, and then they dispersed.
