"Shuaichen?"

Li Xiang heard Yu Yunwen's latest official name and asked in surprise.

Cheng Yuan and Wang Xiaochen brought people into the mountain for reinforcements, and Liu Chengdong and Li Xiang naturally had to warmly receive them to show their attention.

In addition to Li Xiang, the controller of Mingyuezhuang, and Liu Chengdong, the owner of the old village, there were also Xiong Dachun, Zhang Qingping, Yang Yingdong and other martial artists, as well as Fang Weiliang, Zhang Laotou and other public middle school personnel.

Liu Chengdong's personal staff and manager recruited in Jiangnan, Liao Shikai, was of course also present.

Seeing that Li Xiang didn't know much about Yu Yunwen's send, Liao Shikai explained in detail what a handsome minister was.

The marshal, also known as the rate minister, was appointed when the Great Zhou Forbidden Army went out to fight, or temporarily appointed in an emergency.

The marshal commanded the Sanya forbidden army in the territory, and the pacification envoy who commanded the local army also obeyed the dispatch. More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whenever there was a major war, the civil minister was generally appointed as the main commander and the military general was appointed as the deputy position.

The position of marshal will be abolished soon after the war subsides, and the dynasty will not let someone hold huge power for a long time. The marshals must be responsible to the emperor and the many governors of the political hall, and they must obey the control of the Privy Council, the three yas, and the three divisions, and they cannot be without scruples.

"So powerful? Doesn't that mean that Han Zhao's envoy must also obey the orders of this Lord Yu? ”

Yang Yingdong moved his body on the rough chair, feeling that Yu Yunwen was very powerful.

Li Xiang really felt that the civil officials of the Great Zhou were too powerful, and they suppressed the generals to death, "Han Zhao acted as an envoy, and he originally had to discuss with several ministers such as the pacification envoy and the transfer envoy, but now there is another Lord Yu who has sent a frightening height, how much weight does he have to speak?" ”

Liu Chengdong was a little unhappy in his heart, squinted his eyes and said: "Lord Yu's official rank and official position are already terrifying, and he is responsible for raising grain and grass, and he is also raising reinforcements from all walks of life. ”

"The intentions of the court's ministers are not obvious? This is because I feel that a warrior like me is too lively in Jiangnan, so I sent an angel to strictly control us and others. ”

"In the past, the Yongle puppet dynasty was rampant, and a martial artist like me has lived a good life for a few days, which is already good. Fortunately, this Lord Yu has an old relationship with me, so he doesn't have to worry about shooting me. ”

Liu Chengdong's last sentence was a little smug in his words.

Xiong Dachun has experienced almost all the major events in his life with Liu Chengdong, and at this moment, he also thought of the scene of working with Yu Yunwen back then, and responded to Liu Chengdong with a smile.

Yu Yunwen served as the supervisor of Liu Chengdong's ministry many years ago, and he himself also played a major role in promoting Liu Chengdong's recruitment.

In a nutshell, Liu Chengdong and Yu Yunwen have an old relationship.

Although he has an old relationship with Lord Yu, Liu Chengdong has been cautious since recruiting An, and he thought carefully about where there is a careless one.

It didn't take long for Liu Chengdong to turn his attention to his cheap son-in-law Li Xiang.

Liu Chengdong reminded Li Xiang: "I have been nailed to Deqing County for so long, and in the end, I was ordered to retreat, and no one can find fault with me on the battlefield." ”

"It's just that you're acting too high-profile, kid? It's good to make money, but don't be a thorn in the side of some people and get us in trouble. ”

Except for Liao Shikai, who didn't know what was going on, everyone else present laughed.

In order to make up for the huge expenses in Jiangnan, and at the same time open up new markets for the caravans and workshop owners in Mingyuezhuang, Li Xiang can be said to have broken his heart.

It wasn't until he and Han Shizhong went online that Li Xiang found a gap to open the Jiangnan market.

At that time, the officers and troops were newly defeated, and from the battalion commander to the ordinary sergeants, they were all short of medical treatment. Li Xiang cooperated with Han Shizhong's nephew Han Yanzhang, as well as several of Han Shizhong's cronies, to provide Mingyuezhuang's finished medicine at a lower price, and earned the first money.

Wholesale finished drugs and winning over collaborators is Li Xiang's first step to open the Jiangnan market. In the first step, Li Xiang tried to introduce other goods from Mingyuezhuang, such as clothes, hats, shoes and socks, iron tools and farm tools, into Jiangnan, but the result was naturally a failure.

It didn't take long for the Yongle Dynasty to find out the reality of the Great Zhou army, put more pressure on the Great Zhou government, and brazenly created millions of hungry people.

Enraged, Li Xiang is determined to save people as much as possible.

In addition to some martial artists, Li Xiang also pulled in a land-sitting household like Ximenbo, ready to make money and save people. But before Li Xiang could start his plan, the epidemic broke out in many places, and Li Xiang's money-making plan was at risk of being stranded.

Where is Li Xiang who is sitting and waiting to be killed?

In the urgent report to Han Shizhong, Li Xiang presented a set of methods to control the epidemic, and also proposed three methods to help the hungry and reduce the burden on the government: transporting the population, cashing out work, and opening workshops.

Han Shizhong only implemented Li Xiang's epidemic prevention method within the scope of his ability, after all, the government is still responsible for epidemic prevention and saving democracy.

Li Xiang's epidemic prevention method was proved to be very good by himself and Han Shizhong, so Li Xiang started the second step of opening the Jiangnan market.

The troops stationed in various places, from commanders and battalion commanders to capital heads, began to act in the name of disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and recruited a large number of hungry people to work.

What can the hungry produce?

Disinfection and epidemic prevention require a lot of lime and spirits, and everyone who is close to the battlefield on the two roads south of the Yangtze River hates to wear several layers of masks and face shields, and the wounded and sick need a lot of bandages...... Firewood and charcoal are inseparable from anywhere, and it is simply how much is consumed.

In places west of Taihu Lake that were not visited by Fang Lajun, a large number of simple workshops have sprung up. In today's Great Zhou, if you want to increase the output of something in a short period of time, you can only take people to pile it.

The martial artists who cooperated with Li Xiang, especially Han Shizhong, made a lot of money and helped in rescuing Liu Chengdong.

If it weren't for Liu Chengdong's rescue, a joint force had formed within the Great Zhou army, and Li Xiang would not have been able to get bed crossbows, crossbows, and firearms support so easily.

Ximen Bo and other land-sitting households received Li Xiang's olive branch in time, and those who had a problem with Li Xiang naturally chose to reconcile with Li Xiang and join the ranks of making money. Some anxious families directly cooperated with the warriors and invested large sums of money to expand the scale of production.

Xiwang Temple is in fact equivalent to Li Xiang's foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, where the big families have witnessed Li Xiang's various miracles and bought a lot of military exploits from Li Xiang. So the big families of Xiwang Temple learned from each other early and made a lot of money.

Li Xiang once again tried to introduce other goods from Mingyuezhuang, and this time it was relatively smooth. The interest network that Li Xiang worked so hard to build finally brought him rich rewards.

To build a workshop and open a mine, you need a lot of iron tools and farm tools. The things in Mingyuezhuang are cheap and good, of course, they don't have to worry about selling.

The special bandage, as well as the first mesh breathable translucent gauze, have become the representative works of Mingyuezhuang's exquisite goods. The wounded military attachés, gentry, and merchants were only wrapped in the things of Mingyuezhuang, which were not easy to suppurate.

The hungry also had to wear clothes and shoes. Although the ready-to-wear made of linen in Mingyuezhuang is outrageously ugly, it is too cheap to stand up, and it has become a hot commodity along with the clogs marked in the shoe size......

The second step has come to the present, and Li Xiang has once again proved one thing to the villagers of Mingyuezhuang: follow the owner of the village, there is meat to eat!

The local merchant power in Jiangnan was originally the strongest in the Great Zhou, and the maritime merchant group in Mingzhou Port was even more powerful, but Li Xiang did not feel the power of Jiangnan merchants for a long time.

Of course, Li Xiang did not dare to underestimate the Jiangnan industrial and commercial groups standing at the top of the Great Zhou. After all, the little residual influence left by the Jiangnan merchants made it difficult for him to move forward in Jiangnan, and he could only choose to cooperate with the martial artists who were temporarily stationed in Jiangnan.

But in recent days, Li Xiang has clearly felt that Jiangnan businessmen are speeding up their return to the local area.

Before the Jiangnan merchants officially returned, the network of interests jointly built by Li Xiang, the warriors, and the local gentry was affected: the workshops and mines were repeatedly investigated, the caravans encountered many obstacles, and the government questioned the employment of hungry people.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the day when the official army counterattacked the Yongle Dynasty was the time for the merchants to revel.

The purchase of this item by the army alone is a huge benefit, enough to make many businesses fight to the death. Coupled with the more than 30,000 troops led by Yu Yunwen, the entire land south of the Yangtze River gathered more than 100,000 regular soldiers and a total of nearly 200,000 people, young and strong and township soldiers, how many materials do you consume every day?

The supply of materials during the Great War is, of course, a big cake, but the procurement of the army is not the most tempting.

For the well-known large merchants, large planters, and large industrial and mining owners, the most attractive fruit is naturally the four words "post-war reconstruction".
