Chapter 232: Uniform Control
After Xiao Tianjian entered the city of Nanjing, in addition to being busy with official business all day, Xiao Tianjian occasionally remembered the legendary Qin Huai Bayan on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and his heart was slightly commotion, and he wanted to see the legendary Qin Huai Bayan, but this thought was just a flash in his mind, and he was immediately thrown out of the clouds.
Now that he has changed the fate of many people, the fate of Qin Huai Bayan is in charge of them themselves! What's more, he knows very well that with his current reputation, if he accidentally mentions this Qin Huai Bayan to anyone, he will not be among those civil and military generals, someone will find a way to get this Bayan for him and dedicate it to him, and then I am afraid that he will not be able to wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River! And God knows whether his reputation is good or bad in the eyes of this Qin Huai Bayan, I can't guarantee these eight women, and they still think that he is a traitor and a traitor, don't give him a good face, once they humiliate him again, it will be a big disaster!
What's more, his career is only the foundation that has been laid, and it is still very early to dominate the world, and there are too many things that need him to do at the moment, and he doesn't have time to do that kind of thing to find flowers and ask willows, Li Zicheng's lessons in history are of course very clear to him, Li Zicheng and his subordinates After entering Beijing, they immediately became arrogant and lascivious, and they made money, and played with women, although Wu Sangui's final surrender to Qing may not all be because Liu Zongmin forcibly occupied Chen Yuanyuan, but it can also be seenAfter Li Zicheng led his troops into Beijing, the righteous army under his command had begun to deteriorate seriously, and finally after the defeat of a stone, it collapsed for thousands of miles, and the newly established Dashun Dynasty also disappeared at any time under the iron hooves of the Qing army.
Now that he has not entered Beijing, how can he make such a mistake like Li Zicheng? Therefore, for a long time, Xiao Tianjian has been using Li Zicheng's lessons to constantly remind himself, not only strict with himself, in addition to leading by example, but also often beating the generals under his command, so that they dare not get carried away with their tails now.
As for the business of the Goolan brothels, Xiao Tianjian will not interfere with this kind of thing, after all, this kind of business has a huge social demand, so he will not close these Goolan brothels, this is also a kind of entertainment industry, as long as it is not laissez-faire, and strengthen management in the future, it is also a huge source of tax revenue, but in the future, it is necessary to strengthen the management of this industry, as far as possible to avoid forced trafficking in human beings, practitioners must be voluntary, and the preservation of this industry is also a way to prosper the economy.
But there is one point, Xiao Tianjian issued a death order, anyone who is an official in his court, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, will not be allowed to prostitute in the future, in short, this will be a red line, whoever steps on it is unlucky, these civil and military generals in the province have nothing to do to go to the brothel to spend a lot of money, and then quickly decay and degenerate.
Speaking of the matter of this auction, according to Xiao Tianjian's requirements, all those who participate in this auction must first go to the designated place to pay a deposit, and the deposit does not accept ordinary silver and copper coins, but only the dragon coins and dragon banknotes that the Xing Tianjun has begun to issue at the moment, and take this opportunity to once again promote the currency issued by the Xing Tianjun.
Some people have doubts about this, but they have no choice but to go to the newly established Bank of China in Nanjing according to the requirements of the Xingtianjun, and exchange the silver on their hand for the dragon banknotes of the Xingtianjun, and the large boxes of silver for a handful of paper banknotes, which makes many people feel very uneasy, but they have to admit that it is very convenient to carry this kind of dragon banknotes now.
So these people took this kind of dragon banknote, tentatively went to Nanjing City to use, and found that it actually worked, basically the shops accept this kind of dragon banknote, and the exchange of goods is still very sufficient, so for the issuance of dragon banknotes, it undoubtedly played a great role in promoting, and Xiao Tianjian took the opportunity to gather a large number of silver and gold reserves.
In order to let the people participating in the auction have a clear understanding of the location and situation of the lots, Xiao Tianjian also ordered the recruited painters to draw these lots, and mark them on many huge maps of Nanjing, and publicize them many days in advance, so that the people participating in the auction can know the courtyards and shops of the auction in the city in advance, and run around Nanjing to see their favorite properties, which also makes them have a bottom in their hearts, and increases their enthusiasm for the auction.
Under the auspices of Jin Tong, the auction was finally opened, but the preparation at the beginning of the auction was still a little insufficient, because there were too many people pouring in, and there were too many people who wanted to buy real estate in Nanjing, so that the number of auction sites originally prepared was not enough to accommodate so many people, and the auction site was too crowded, and the noise was terrible.
But it can't be said that the first day of the auction was unsuccessful, all the lots taken out on the first day, almost no first-class auction, it can almost be said that they were coaxed away, the first day out of more than 100 real estate, it can be said that all of them were cleared, some real estate competition is very fierce, the result is that on the basis of the reserve price, it is almost several times or even more than ten times the transaction, so that Xingtianjun harvested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the first day, and the mouth of Xiao Tianjian, who was secretly peeking in the back, and a group of officials in charge of the household department were crooked.
The lot on the first day is actually only the most ordinary and the worst lot of all the lots, and you can win so many lots, and the property in the best location must be placed at the end, and I don't know how much silver will be auctioned at that time! So at the beginning, the people who thought that Xiao Tianjian's method was a bit nonsense were now completely convinced, and suddenly found that their masters not only led troops to fight, but also had much stronger means of making money than them, which made these officials even more convinced of Xiao Tianjian.
On the second day, the order of the auction site was much better, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the auction at all, and the competition in the auction was more intense.
This is really a business, everything is copied and not copied, a lot of property has been copied, and now it is auctioned out, and a large amount of money is recorded back and forth, Xiao Tianjian sat in the backyard of the auction site, happy that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, his pupils were about to become square, and his whole face was almost convulsive with a smile, muttering that no wonder someone wanted to rebel, after the rebellion was successful, the dividend was too high! As a result, Tietou and the others greatly despised their master, who suddenly became a fan of money.
The whole auction lasted for five days, and the first batch of auctioned properties were all auctioned out, and finally counted, Xiao Tianjian learned that after the whole auction, he made a few million taels of silver, at least enough for him to feed a large number of soldiers, equipped with a large number of better guns, and even the money for the Nanjing shipyard that he was preparing to rebuild was completely solved this time, so the people who were skeptical about Xiao Tianjian's proposal for auction were completely speechless at this time. If these properties were to be disposed of, with their initial valuation, it would be good to be able to sell them for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but Xiao Tianjian was stunned to use this method to benefit more than ten times their appraisal, and since then, it has also formed a practice, whenever dealing with some public property confiscated by the Xingtian Army, similar methods will be adopted in the future, which ensures fairness and avoids someone operating in the back.
In December, the generals who were ordered to come to Nanjing City to participate in the military parade have also rushed to Nanjing City from all directions, and these generals can be said to be all the elite of the Xingtian Army, and everyone has made great contributions on the battlefield, and they can be selected to rush to Nanjing to participate in this founding ceremony, which is undoubtedly a reward for these people, so that they all feel very honored.
Even Luo Rucai and Li Xuanzhu, who are now marching towards Sichuan, have also drawn a group of soldiers to participate in this ceremony.
For this big military parade, Xiao Tianjian ordered a batch of fabrics and silver money to be allocated to recruit a lot of women in Nanjing, and customized two sets of military uniforms for each of the soldiers who went to Nanjing to participate in the parade in advance.
Although the Xingtian Army has also made uniforms in the past, but in the past few years, the production of military uniforms, many times to be subject to various restrictions, can only use the cloth in their hands as much as possible to make clothing for the generals, and with the expansion of the territory of the Xingtian Army and the continuous expansion of the troops, the military uniforms of the Xingtian Army appear to be more chaotic, initially based on blue cloth, and later because the color of the cloth can not be unified, there are black and gray or even yellow military uniforms, after gathering troops, Although it was clear at a glance who they had belonged to before, it made the appearance of the Xingtian Army a little mixed.
The military uniform for an army, its importance Xiao Tianjian has a deeper understanding than anyone else, the military uniform is not only a sign on the battlefield to distinguish between the enemy and me, the military uniform also has a deeper meaning, it also has the role of compulsion, restriction and unity, so that the wearer can quickly integrate into the group, so that the generals spontaneously produce a sense of belonging and cohesion, so that they are willing to serve the group, and at the same time will be self-restraint because of this suit.
In short, an army with its own uniform clothing can often be more effective and disciplined than an army with mixed clothing, and the role played by military uniforms cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Xiao Tianjian began to dress uniformly for the soldiers of the Xingtian Army very early, the cost of clothing alone is very huge, there is no industrial garment factory in this era, and the production of the military uniforms of the Xingtian Army depends on recruiting women to sew them by hand, and at present, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the expenditure on dressing alone is very huge, and in Xiao Tianjian's view, the money spent is worth it.
On the first day of the camp, when the recruits of the Xingtian Army were given military uniforms, they would be told that as long as they wore this suit, they would no longer be an individual, but represent the whole of the Xingtian Army.
Therefore, the discipline of the Xingtian generals is generally far more than that of other rebels, and the role played by this military uniform is also indispensable, and now all the generals have rushed to Nanjing City to participate in the military parade held in the future, so Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the opportunity to have money at hand, allocated a lot of money and cloth, and made two sets of new military uniforms and boots for the soldiers and generals who came to Nanjing City to participate in the military parade and watch the ceremony.
Regarding the style of the military uniform of the Xingtian Army, although Xiao Tianjian also considered simply using the military uniform of later generations, but then thought about it, after all, it was against the aesthetic concept of people in this era, so in terms of military uniform style, he finally focused on the clothing style of this era, and incorporated a small amount of the concept of some military uniforms of later generations, as much as possible to make the soldiers and generals wear comfortable and warm, and not too shocking, and at the same time as easy to wear as much as possible, so that the soldiers and generals look very energetic after wearing them.
Speaking of boots, this thing is a luxury in this era, many people can't afford to wear shoes, and as a new force, although the military uniform has been basically unified, but in terms of shoes on the feet, it is not easy to solve, so the distribution of unified boots has not been realized, and most of the generals rely on their own straw shoes to meet the needs of their feet.
Now that these generals have come to Nanjing City, Xiao Tianjian is not stingy, and sent someone to distribute a pair of brand-new half-height cowhide fast boots to each of them, so that these guys are happy again, so after these people change into new clothes, they suddenly look much more powerful, and after these soldiers arrived in Nanjing City, they began assault training in the camp outside Nanjing, and then Liu Yaoben and Luo Li's generals also returned to Nanjing City and joined the intensive queue training.
