Under the supervision of Ling Xia, the conscription was carried out in an orderly manner, and those recruited qualified recruits did not even have time to train, so they were sent to work by Ling Xia, although these recruits could not do other work, but it was okay to maintain order.

The originally chaotic conscription headquarters, with the addition of those recruits, gradually became orderly, the soldiers built camp tents while maintaining order, the headquarters gradually had the appearance of a barracks, and the number of conscripts outside was increasing every day, but the amount of conscription was about to be saturated.

Seeing this, Ling Xia hurriedly returned to Ziyanjiang and transported the hundreds of thousands of stone grain prepared by Chen Fuchen and others to Yanxiujiang, part of which was supplied to the recruits as military rations, and the rest of the porridge was distributed to the victims.

Half a month later, the five million recruits had been assembled, and although there were still many victims outside who wanted to apply, Ling Xia had to refuse everyone, because he was not able to support so many soldiers now.

After the recruits were recruited, Ling Xia called the general soldiers of the ten provinces of Ziyan Xinjiang and handed them 500,000 recruits each, and after the recruits were counted, Ling Xia asked them to go back to their respective governors to receive food and military uniforms, and then train these recruits to train them to be what soldiers should look like.

Niu Kaishan, the commander of the general army, He had commanded so many soldiers, when they led their recruits back to the camp of the Battle Guards, they all walked with their heads held high, and they decided to train the recruits fiercely after returning to the camp, so that Ling Xia could see his ability to lead the troops.

As soon as Ling Xia returned to the Governor's Palace, Chen Fuchen led the remaining nine governors to come to him to ask for their guilt, and as soon as they met, everyone knelt down to repent of their sins, and they told them about the fact that they had been instructed by the second prince before, greedy for property in the Mo territory, and privately helped the second prince prepare jade coins.

Rao is Ling Xia was prepared, but when he heard that Chen Fuchen and the others had each helped the second prince prepare for 30 million jade coins before he took office, he couldn't help but gasp, 30 million jade coins in one province, 300 million in ten provinces, how could the second prince swallow it?

Thinking that he only had 30,000 gold coins in his hand at the moment, but the second prince had taken 300 million jade coins from his own territory, Ling Xia stomped his feet in distress and pointed at Chen Fuchen and the others, Ling Xia was so angry that he was almost speechless.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, Ling Xia was helpless, who let him not be the governor here at that time, if the court was still there, he would still be able to find the second prince to get the money back, but in this situation, it was impossible for the second prince to return those jade coins to him.

Since the money is going to come back, it's useless to worry about it, and after a long sigh of distress, Ling Xia waved his hand, indicating that the previous matter had turned over, and everyone's previous sins would not be investigated, after speaking, he looked at a few people and asked, "How are the materials on the list prepared?" ”

"We have all prepared, not only that, we know that the general wants to help the victims of the disaster in another territory, and a few of us have teamed up to think of a plan to help the general double the supplies, and at this moment those materials have arrived, considering that they will be transported to the disaster area later, so they are all parked on the cargo ship of the Huangshui River Caoyun Yamen."

"What? You've made up twice as much as you have? After hearing this unexpected news, Ling Xia was shocked and a little surprised, seeing that Chen Fuchen and the others were still kneeling on the ground, after Ling Xia helped them up, he asked curiously: "How did you do it?" ”

In the face of Ling Xia's inquiry, Chen Fuchen and the others did not hide it, and told the truth about the matter, it turned out that after leaving Ling Xia that day, several of them discussed it, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to stay in the territory to follow Ling Xia.

Now that they have made up their minds, everyone no longer has reservations, the materials on Ling Xia's list are all monopolized and sought-after goods, which are in the hands of several major business families in the territory, and Chen Fuchen and they only occupy a part of the dry shares, and the real materials are all in the other party's warehouse.

Chen Fuchen and the others returned to their respective governor's yamen, and assigned tasks according to the materials needed on the list, such as Chen Fuchen was in charge of grain, rice and noodles, Liu Xian was in charge of cotton clothes and quilts, Bai Zhanyun was in charge of the roof of the military tent, He Zhiqing was in charge of cloth and clothing, and Ji Siming was in charge of medicinal materials......

Those merchant families are all over the provinces, and basically each province has a giant family that dominates the province, and Chen Fuchen invited the patriarchs of each family into the yamen on the grounds that they needed to buy materials for the conscription of horses.

They pretended to partner with the other party to join forces to pit the horses, and then, Chen Fuchen and the others forged a list according to the divided materials, and on the list, they wrote ten more copies of the materials that Ling Xia needed, saying that Ling Xia needed a lot of materials.

Then, Chen Fuchen and these people pretended to make a plan, and asked those families to take out two-tenths of the materials and hand them over to Ling Xia first, and they were responsible for asking Ling Xia for money, and then selling the remaining materials to Ling Xia when they received money from Ling Xia.

Although the patriarchs of those commercial families are shrewd, if they really play with their hearts, where are those people Chen Fuchen's opponents of these old oilers, they were coaxed and deceived by Chen Fuchen, and those people were all busy coordinating the local branches and preparing for the loading of materials.

After hearing about Chen Fuchen's way of obtaining the supplies, Ling Xia gave a thumbs up and praised them, and then he asked everyone to divide the materials equally, half of them were transported to the base camps of the war guards in the provinces, and half were transported to Liulijiang, to repay the kindness of the people who had helped prepare the jade coin for disaster relief.

"My lord, aren't these supplies intended for you to use for relief to the victims? Why are they all divided, and after they are divided, what will we do for disaster relief? Seeing that Ling Xia had finished distributing the materials in the blink of an eye, Chen Fuchen and the others were all stunned.

"Excuse me, are the roots of those business families deep? Is it strong or not? Ling Xia looked at everyone with a wicked smile.

Seeing Ling Xia's evil smile, Chen Fuchen and the others suddenly had a bad feeling, seeing Ling Xia looking at him, Chen Fuchen hurriedly said: "We have many business families in Ziyanjiang, basically covering all walks of life, and each province has one or two giant families.

These tycoon families specialize in a certain field of goods, and for decades, semicolons have spread all over the country, and they have monopolized the sales channels and sources of goods in their respective fields, and to put it too much, these business families can even control the financial lifeblood of a province.

Take our Dingyi Province as an example, the most powerful is the Dou family, they use the advantages of grain production in our territory to do grain business for generations, and now the branch of the commercial bank has spread all over the one hundred and eight territories, and all the grain in our territory is monopolized by the Dou family.

Another example is the Liu family in Ding ten provinces, the Liu family operates the hanging pot Jishitang specializing in the medicinal materials business, they monopolize the supply of all kinds of medicinal materials, so to speak, one-third of the country's medicinal materials come from the hanging pot Jishitang, which shows its strength.

In addition to the Dou family and the Liu family, there are several other families, all of which are wealthy families who have been in business for generations, such as the Huang family in Dinger Province who monopolize the cotton industry. The Li family in Dingsan Province monopolized the account business. The Hou family in Dingfu Province monopolized the cloth business. These families are all very strong. ”
