"Shen Changshi recommended Fan Dahei, what is going on?"

Walking out of the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard, Li Zhihe asked Zhou Yuan with a gloomy face.

"The toad of the Han family wants to eat the swan meat of Lord Zhang's family, what about Lord Zhang, even if he is reluctant, he can't marry his daughter to a soldier, seeing that Lord Shen also admires him, he said that Lord Shen recommended it. Who would have thought that this surnamed Han didn't have the slightest sense of appreciation, and even complained that we came, could it be that Lord Zhang's daughter also insulted the soldiers in his house? Zhou Yuan said with a sneer.

"You guys don't think things are messy enough?" Li Zhihe was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but he could guess that Zhou Yuan did this, most of which was his father's instructions, and there was no way to say it too seriously.

Li Zhihe came to Han Qian at noon, mainly hoping that the craftsman could expand the scale of employment, and the other was that the craftsman could take turns to hire tun households to work.

In addition to the previous "Epidemic Water Sparse" and the preparation for the establishment of the secret Cao Zuosi, Han Qian's greatest contribution to the Dragon Bird Army was the establishment of a workshop.

In addition to supplying a large number of cheap carbon, lime, green bricks and other materials to the Tungong Military Mansion in batches, the workshop also employs thousands of men and women from the Tun Camp Military Mansion.

Although the wage of the labourers is three litres of japonica rice a day, which is not very high, the living conditions of these laborers who can get this extra income in addition to the cantonment are much better than those of other tun households who are still struggling to survive.

At least these thousands of households can get basic food and clothing.

Li Zhihe wanted to talk about this last night, but after Han Qian heard Shen Yang say that he wanted to recommend Fan Dahei, he excused himself from being too tired last night and left first, Li Zhihe didn't think much about it at the time, he deliberately pulled Zhou Yuan over to find Han Qian this morning, originally hoping that Han Qian would agree to the workshop to hire tunhu to work in turn, in fact, he hoped that more tunhu could enjoy this benefit.

Just as Han Qian said, if the cantonment camp can't solve the problem of hunger and cold, how can the army be attached?

Who would have thought that what Zhou Yuan and they did would anger Han Qian's bottom line, and Li Zhihe didn't feel that there was room to mention this matter for the time being.

"It's easy to do this thing that Du Yu waits for, either directly ask Lord Shen Yang to talk to Han Qian, or directly recruit and transfer the batch of tun households who work in the workshop." Zhou Yuan knew Li Zhihe's distress and suggested.

In the past, in order to ensure the supply of many materials, the people who were not recruited were recruited when the soldiers were trained in rotation.

It stands to reason that not only can Li Zhihe's side recruit these people for rotation training, but Zhou Yuan can also recruit these people to participate in construction and other construction matters, which will inevitably force Han Qian to hire another tunhu to ensure that there will be no shortage of workers in the workshop.

"You don't want to make any more trouble." Li Zhihe admonished Zhou Yuan and said.

Things are already a mess, his father and His Royal Highness are preparing to lead the Dragon Bird Army to the expedition before winter, many things need Han Qian's side to cooperate and assist, he doesn't want Zhou Yuan to do anything to add to the snake.

"It's just because it's a little involved with our side, and I don't want to be involved, but I kick people far away, this guy is also a lord who is unkind and unrighteous!" Zhou Yuan pursed his lips and smiled at Zhang Qian and asked, "Lord Zhang, what do you think?" ”

"Why do I think it's useless, but I don't know how the person to whom Zuo Si belongs, how will he feel when he knows this?" Zhang Qian said with a smile.

Li Zhihe glanced at Zhang Qian and Zhou Yuan, and he was also secretly anxious, secretly feeling that he should talk to his father about it, and it may not be a good thing to let people like Zhou Yuan continue to stir up the wind and waves!

…………

…………

Li Zhihe warned him so, but Zhou Yuan might not obey him.

In the evening, Han Qian was still sorting out the affairs of the workshop in the villa, and Zhou Yuan sent someone to come to the door and asked to recruit 200 craftsmen from the workshop to make up for the lack of manpower in the ditch and the city in autumn and winter.

When the barracks were idle and on leave for training, they were also official workers, and the workers presided over by Zhou Yuan had the right to recruit laborers from the soldiers on leave to start the work.

Moreover, Zhou Yuan only transferred 20% of the manpower from the workshop this time, and Han Qian had no way to find the third prince to complain.

Han Qian got the requisition letter sent by Zhou Yuan, put it on the corner of the table, waved his hand to let the little official sent by Zhou Yuan to talk about things out, and said: "I know, Lord Zhou wants to use people, and I don't have the reason to grasp it - it is enough to notify people directly from each tunzhai, there is no need to say anything to me......"

Seeing Han Qian's gloomy face, Zhao Ting'er asked, "Did you transfer Ji Xiyao back from Xuzhou?" ”

Fan Xicheng was originally in charge of the craftsman's side, and after Fan Xicheng went to Xuzhou, Han Qian handed it over to Fan Dahei.

Although it is unsatisfactory, Fan Dahei still conscientiously maintained the workshop, and at the same time, according to the deployment left by Han Qian, he built a new coal yard and a Shitanghe warehouse, etc., and everything was done properly.

Now Han Qian suddenly sent Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng to Jinling, and Tian Cheng and Gao Shao were able to take over the affairs of Chazifang and the military room, but the affairs of the craftsman were more and more complicated, and Zhou Yuan was determined to make a stumbling block, Zhao Ting'er suggested that Han Qian transfer Ji Xiyao back from Xuzhou to take charge of the craftsman's workshop.

"......" Han Qian shook his head slowly, holding the window to see that the sunset on the top of the distant mountain was about to be submerged by the mountains and forests, and said, "They tossed so much, how could I still transfer Ji Xiyao back?" ”

Zhao Ting'er was a little confused, but Xi Ying sneered.

"Send someone to call the leading craftsmen of the workshop." Han Qian sat down after returning to the bookcase and instructed Zhao Ting'er.

The workshop was less than a mile below the cottage, and the work of a single cup of tea had passed, and the leading engineer of the coal yard had also come to listen to the dispatch.

The coal yard is twelve or thirteen miles away from the back mountain, and the leading engineer usually has to watch the scene, and see that these people are summoned, Han Qian knows that he suddenly replaced Fan Dahei, and he is not a little worried, or they already know that Gong Cao joined the army and drew people from the workshop.

Han Qian's heart was as cold as iron, and he secretly felt that the Late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion were so tormented, not only could he not transfer Ji Xiyao back, but even sent all the young craftsmen who really had the potential to be cultivated to Xuzhou, and propped up the stalls in Xuzhou step by step.

As for the many plans he had originally wanted to carry out on Jinling's side, it seemed that there was no need to put too much effort into doing it at this time.

"Young master, Lord Song just arrived at the workshop and said that the people who participated in the construction of Nanzhai will be present early tomorrow morning, and the construction of the dam and the construction of the water mill will be postponed first?" As soon as Fan Dahei left, there was no one to lead the workshop, and several leading engineers pushed out an old engineer Zheng Tong, who was about fifty years old, to stand up on their behalf and talk to Han Qian.

Zheng Tong is the same type of person as Ji Fu, both are masters of the craftsman, their names are so similar, their family members were infected with the epidemic and were forced to live in the rivers and lakes, until they were absorbed by the cantonment military government, there was a place to live, but the status of the craftsman household in the world was low, and Zheng Tong also developed a temperament of respecting the small and cautious and not daring to do anything from the bone marrow.

The little officials around Zhou Yuan were "adults" who did not dare to disobey in front of them.

Before Han Qian left Jinling, he appointed Zheng Tong to be in charge of the brick kiln, Zheng Tong was also worried for a long time, and finally he was driven to the shelves, and he didn't dare to disobey Han Qian's order, so he took this matter.

People like Zheng Tong and Ji Fu are okay to follow the rules, and they don't dare to be sloppy in doing things, they may be worried that something will go wrong when they sleep at night, but they don't dare to do anything more, which is also the biggest problem.

And Han Qian also clearly knows that this kind of person has the lowest sense of identification with him, in the eyes of this kind of person, he is different, a whirlpool that can only bring unknown dangers, and it can't give them the sense of stability they are looking forward to, it's just that his "brutality" temporarily deters these people from resisting.

Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng are actually this kind of people, so they are easily tempted.

Thinking of this, Han Qian's face became more and more gloomy, staring at the few leading engineers standing in front of the corridor, and said in a deep voice: "The workshop belongs to Zuo Si, as long as I am in charge of Zuo Si for one day, you will all call me 'Lord'." And you also have to remember to me that except for His Royal Highness the Third Prince, no one can point fingers at Zuo Si, and in the future, whether Zhou joins the army or Li Duyu waits, the cats and dogs around them dare to run to the workshop, run to Zuo Sichong and what 'adults', they will beat me away. ”

Xi Ying, who was kneeling behind Han Qian, could feel the murderous aura emanating from Han Qian, glanced at Zhao Ting'er, and thought to himself that Han Qian was not just going to sort out the workshop, but to reorganize Zuo Si.

"Yes, less, big... My lord. Zheng Tong and the others stammered.

"Nothing that has been arranged will be stopped, and you must not slack off in the slightest,"

Han Qian continued,

"The lack of manpower, in addition to recruiting all the children of Zuo Si who have reached the age of thirteen, the craftsmen who were requisitioned by Gong Cao this time are willing to send their children to work in the workshop, as long as they are over thirteen years old, they can also recommend one person to come in......"

"I'm afraid the number of people will exceed a lot." Zheng Tong said quite apprehensively, and his speech was still a little knotted.

The craftsmen who were requisitioned away naturally would not miss the opportunity to recommend their children to work in the workshop, which has almost made up for the shortage of labor, and recruited all the children of Zuo Si, so there must be three or four hundred more people at once?

Han Qian didn't want to put on a humble attitude like a corporal of Lixian to appease people's hearts, so he said arbitrarily:

"I know in my heart that apart from these things, you will henceforth provide a lunch for the craftsmen; and the children of Zuo Si, between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, can be concentrated in the sentry courtyard to stay, and these nights can concentrate on reading some books, and their food and lodging will also be managed by the craftsman's workshop......"

The five outposts built on the periphery of the Akiho Mountain Annex, for the purpose of controlling the valley passes in and out of the villa, are currently under the control of the Zuo Division.

At this time, the contradiction with the Anning Palace and the prince's family has not been sharply opposed, each outpost is only sent to two or three people on duty, but in fact, each outpost is fifty or sixty steps square, it is a small sentry fort, and barracks will be built in the follow-up to ensure that when the situation is tense, it can be garrisoned by up to three or four hundred elite generals.

Han Qian secretly estimated that he should be able to recruit more than 500 years of workers this time, so he thought that he would simply gather the children of Zuo Si scouts, chazi and craftsmen to provide food and lodging, work during the day, and find time to teach words, arithmetic, craftsmans, swords, bows, riding and archery, etc.

Even if before the biggest crisis comes, he may not be able to leave enough time to cultivate echelon descendants in batches within the cantonment military government, but he must at least give priority to ensuring that the people to whom Zuo Si belongs will not be easily shaken by others.

Zheng Tong and the other leading engineers didn't dare to say anything, after all, they themselves had benefited a lot, so they were ordered to retreat first.
