Chapter 758: Liaohai is busy
The "Red Banner Army" did not enter the city of Nantong Prefecture, but built a fortress called "Jianghai Fort" in the port, which was ten miles away from the city of Nantong Prefecture.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were no official regulations on who could build castles, and it can be seen that too many clan armed forces could form a fortress to protect themselves.
The "Red Banner Army" is famous, and the reputation of defending the land and protecting the people is well known, and it will not encounter any difficulties in buying land in Nantong Prefecture to build ports and castles.
There are not only strong forts in the "Jianghai Fort", but also the water gate directly leading to the grain depot, and ships can directly unload grain at the grain depot wharf, where there are 80 cylindrical granaries with 10,000 stone of grain.
Zheng Zhihu was fortunate enough to see three 32-pound, six 24-pound, and nine 12-pound long-barreled cannons deployed on the "Jianghai Fort" fort.
I saw the solid city wall of brick and concrete structure, saw the well-equipped and disciplined "Red Banner Army", and saw thousands of strong people, and knew that with such force and unique geographical location, "Jianghai Fort" would definitely be indestructible.
It was still far away from the Liaohai Sea, and when I arrived in Nantong Prefecture, I found a strong castle of the "Red Banner Army" that could not be attacked by tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
is very different from the admiration of generals such as Zheng Zhihu and Gan Hui, Zheng Zhilong, who is already preoccupied, feels Alexander even more.
The hands of the generals have been stretched out to Nanzhili, and then there are Zhejiang and Fujian, it seems that the Zheng family is not convinced!
Three days later, Zheng Zhilong returned to the road with trepidation, and when he arrived at the port of the Han River in mid-May, he saw a busy crowd everywhere, and too many places were engaged in construction.
After completing the handover of 30,000 immigrants, it took three days for Zheng Zhilong to finally enter Seoul and meet Wen Tiren, the former elder of the Daming Pavilion, the theoretical supreme governor of "Hanjiang Province".
The ruler is long and short, the ancients did not deceive me, Wen Tiren "is cautious and fierce in the middle, and the machine is deep and piercing." "During the period of working for Chongzhen, I tried my best to ponder people, and I had little energy to think about things.
Now Wen Tiren has relieved himself of the burden of the first minister, and he doesn't need to think about people, but he specializes in thinking about things.
At the suggestion of Huang Han, with the brainstorming of many talents, Wen Tiren, who is good at calculation, has made the planning of the entire "Hanjiang Province" impeccable.
Wen Tiren was not rich in life, that was because Daming's Yulu was too funny, and he, the first assistant, was relatively strict with himself and never accepted bribes.
The explanation in the history books is that Wen Tiren has done too many bad things, and he is afraid that the enemy will seize the handle and retaliate, so he refuses to corrode and never touches.
Now life is better, because Huang Han gave the equivalent of a high-ranking official from the second rank of the political envoy of Zuobu as a fortune of up to 700 taels of silver per year, plus half of the rice and half of the wheat, and 80 stone of grain.
With such an income, even if there are fifty or sixty people in the family who do not work, they can live a prosperous life.
It is well known that high salaries may not be able to support integrity, but in the case of Huang Han giving officials high salaries, officials who find that they are still corrupt due to lack of people's hearts will be at ease if they kill their heads and rob their families.
Because being an official in the "Red Banner Army" system is not only a person, but also enough to be rich.
It is impossible to have a fucked salary like Daming, and it is a luxury for a big official like Yu Shi Hairui, the right capital of Zhengerpin, to buy two catties of meat in history, isn't this situation very funny.
In fact, when the superstructure of the "Han River Province" was built and the system was formulated, Huang Han, who had deep pockets, suggested a higher standard for Yulu, but Wen Tiren, who was good at calculation, disagreed.
His reason is simple, he doesn't have to give it all at once.
Wen Tiren believes that there are too many people in the whole Ming Dynasty now, and the people are hungry, and the officials are overly treated, which is out of place.
It is not too late to wait for the arrival of the peaceful and prosperous era to raise the officials' salaries by one or two percent.
Wen Tiren personally referred to the Ming court's standard for the distribution of "Hanjiang Province" officials.
The salary of officials below the fourth grade is two or three times more than the Ming standard, and the salary above the fourth grade is seven to ten times the Ming standard, and even so, the budget given by Huang Han has been reduced by three percent.
Wen Tiren's standard of Yulu is eighteen, and the treatment of civil officials and military generals from the ninth rank is that they have fifty taels of silver plus eight stones of wheat in their hands a year.
The treatment of the civil and military generals of Zhengyipin is the highest level of 1,000 taels of silver, that is, 1,000 silver dollars, and 150 stone polished rice in true color.
The Ming Dynasty's system of taking a few copies of the salary after the addition of the Ming Dynasty was abolished, and the distribution of the official's salary was distributed according to the highest grade in the title, and the treatment of officials who had a false seal and did not have a real award was halved.
In the "Red Banner Army" system, there is no actual job corresponding to the title, and there is still a lot of treatment.
However, in order to demonstrate the principle of fairness and make the officials who undertake the work psychologically balanced, there are no workers at any level and can only get half of the salary.
The "Red Banner Army" system is becoming more and more perfect, and officials who have obtained the rank must have military merits or outstanding political achievements, and in the case of not being demoted, it is possible to be idle at home because of the real shortage and tension.
When civilian and military generals participate in military operations, they have a wartime allowance, the standard is 30% of the salary, and the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers, small flag officers, and non-commissioned officers in wartime is doubled, and the true colors of soldiers, officials, and officials in wartime remain unchanged.
Wen Tiren focused on the fact that the rank proposed by the general was directly proportional to the Yu Lu, so that the income of officials above the fourth rank was as high as seven or eight times that of the Ming Dynasty.
His words were scorching, which was enough, and he also talked to Huang Han about his family's annual grain of seven hundred taels of silver and eighty stones, and the total number of people in the family was not thirty, and his life was very good.
Besides, his son also has an official body, and he is also getting a lot of money and doesn't need his father to support him.
Zheng Zhilong saw Wen Tiren, who had been famous for a long time and had been the first assistant in the Chongzhen Dynasty for six years, of course he knelt down, and found from the conversation that Wen Tiren was full of praise for the general who was captured, and felt that Huang Han was unfathomable.
Even the former Ming Shoufu was willing to do things for the general of the conquest, is it interesting that he is still crooked, Zheng Zhilong, who has a correct attitude, asks to meet the general of the conquest.
Huang Han received Zheng Zhilong at Xingyuan, the current general of the former Joseon Palace.
More than a dozen senior praise painters of the General Praise Painting Department, such as Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Gao Youmou, Song Pengfei, and dozens of generals such as Huang Long, Mao Chenglu, Liu Fenyong, and Shang Keyi, attended the meeting.
All the people are more than three levels higher than Zheng Zhilong, what else can Zheng Zhilong do except kowtow and say compliments?
Huang Han did not despise this hero, and also put on the style of Corporal Lixian, and invited the officials of the "Hanjiang Province" in Seoul to participate in the reception banquet that day, and after a heavy meal, Zheng Zhilong was slightly relieved.
He saw the atmosphere of "Hanjiang Province" and the Ming Dynasty Fujian officialdom, felt the vitality of the people's hearts and minds, and was glad that he had made a wise decision to decisively lead the fleet to Liaohai to serve the general of the conquest.
