Chapter 54: Standing tall as a mountain
Young Master Pan was very proud in Hangzhou, causing countless women to miss him, but Wang Rui was busy in front of Fushan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the one hand, there are two workshops that turn glass and mirrors into gold, and it is necessary to increase workers and management, expand production, and earn more silver taels for Wang Rui. But these people must be people that Wang Rui can trust, and Wang Rui doesn't want his process to be stolen.
Of course, for people who misbehave, Wang Rui is not soft at all. He has a whole set of precautionary systems and security arrangements.
Not long ago, Li Tianhao came to report that a person who was asking around about the production method of the workshop was ordered by Xu Fu to break his leg and be tied to the door of the workshop to pay respect. After tossing for three days, he tied a stone and threw it into the sea. In troubled times, use heavy pawns, as it is!
Therefore, when the workshop expanded its recruitment, Wang Rui set more detailed recruitment standards, trying to eliminate the possibility of leaking secrets as much as possible.
In order to keep the subordinates of the workshop from cheating or deceiving themselves when recruiting, Wang Rui thinks that he has to appear in the workshop from time to time. When necessary, he will also personally check the whereabouts of some of the newly recruited workers.
After all, Wang Rui's wages in these workshops are really high, and I think these managers will be eager to get their seven aunts and eight aunts into their own workshops.
The other most important aspect is that Wang Rui needs to ensure absolute control over the army in his hands. If you don't show up for a long time, after a long time, who will this army listen to? So after returning to the Fushan front office, Wang Rui spent at least half of his time in the barracks every day.
The number of young guards in the camp has now reached more than 2,000 because of the continuous recruitment of helpless orphans. Wang Rui needs to have some face-to-face contact with the children who come behind, so that they can feel the warmth and care given by Wang Rui.
On the evening of that day, Wang Rui went to the Juvenile Guards Battalion to patrol the camp as usual. As soon as I walked into the camp gate for more than ten meters, I heard a young voice shouting: "Password! ”
"Kill Hulu! Rebate! Wang Rui replied.
"Order: Chop melons and vegetables!" The childish voice replied.
When Wang Rui, Chen Ming, Xu Fu and others approached, the two little guards gave a military salute to Wang Rui: "Report to the garrison!" The seventh Wuhai dog (Wang Dazhu) of the second team of the junior guard battalion is performing the second shift guard mission at night! Please instruct! ”
"Take a break! Why are your clothes so thin? Why didn't you get a padded winter coat? Wang Rui asked, looking at their thin bodies.
"Report to your lordship, we are wearing cotton clothes! It's just the aunt in the workshop. The fur dog replied.
"Chen Ming! Why hasn't the custom-made padded clothes been delivered yet? Wang Rui asked Chen Ming, Xu Fu and others who stayed in front of Fushan.
"You can't buy cotton now! Besides, it's almost the New Year, and I can't find anyone to process cotton clothes! Chen Ming replied.
"I see! Then increase the processing fee! Increase the amount of purchases! Be sure to let these children wear cotton clothes before the Spring Festival! Wang Rui commanded.
It seems that this floating mountain front can't leave for too long, and in just over ten days, there has been a bad thing that the children have no cotton clothes to wear in the cold winter!
Wang Rui took off his coat and draped it over the sea dog, and Chen Ming also took off his clothes and draped it on Wang Dazhu. Wang Rui ordered: "Sea dogs, Wang Dazhu!" I order you, in my capacity as Supreme Commander, to go back to the camp and sleep immediately! Your class is replaced by me and Chief Chen! ”
"My lord! We can't carry out your orders! The order given to us by the captain is to guard the next shift to hand over! Wang Dazhu's face turned red, and he replied after giving a military salute.
"Inform the Dark Sentinel! Summons your captains and captains to come! Wang Rui ordered.
According to the regulations of the Fushan Army, only the open post can notify the dark post. If the Beacon is not attacked, the Beacon cannot appear.
After a while, a captain and a captain of the junior battalion hurried over. In fact, they are still teenagers, but they are older, and they came earlier.
Wang Rui asked about the situation on duty at night, and told them that when arranging the people on duty, they should pay attention to ensuring that the guards are warmly dressed. After the order, he ordered them to bring the sea dog and Wang Dazhu back.
The four of them left as ordered, looking back at Wang Rui from time to time as they walked. When he walked away, Wang Rui's tall figure became a little blurred. The four of them had a sour nose and suddenly began to cry.
They are all poor orphans, and no one has ever cared about them as much as Wang Rui. But today, the king, who used to be like a god, appeared in front of him and gave them the warmth of a father and a brother. Wang Rui's tall back at this time has become the warmest memory in their lives since then!
In the afternoon of this day, Wang Rui was preparing yellow powder in the workshop. Huang Haiqing hurriedly rushed in: "My lord, something happened!" ”
"Don't panic! Tell me, what's wrong? Wang Rui calmly looked at Huang Haiqingdao, who was out of breath.
"Li Village has been robbed by bandits! Fang Erzhu, who returned from visiting relatives after returning from injury, came to report. Huang Haiqing calmed down his emotions and replied.
"Then pass this Fang Erzhu in!" Wang Rui ordered.
"Yes, sir!" After Huang Haiqing went out, he quickly brought in a tall and strong man.
However, this side of the second pillar squeaked for a long time, and he couldn't say why. It's just that more than a hundred robbers came, killed a few who resisted, and stole some money and food.
Seeing that he was still scratching his head and thinking stupidly, Wang Rui was a little panicked in a hurry, and couldn't help but scold: "Fang Erzhu! You are now a sergeant in front of my Fushan Front, why don't you resist?! ”
"Answer the chief's question!" Huang Haiqing slapped him on the shoulder!
"I, I just listened to my cousin, and my family is in Fangjia Village next door." Fang Erzhu replied.
"All out, panic! In the future, I will figure it out, figure it out, and report it again! Wang Rui was angry and funny, but he still patiently pointed out.
Let Wang Rui scold, Huang Haiqing was a little panicked, he had just become the deputy captain of Wang Rui's personal guard, but he didn't expect such a foreign appearance, and immediately took Fang Erzhu and left.
Wang Rui shook his head with a wry smile and continued to prepare his own gunpowder. After a quarter of an hour like this, someone outside suddenly shouted a report.
"Come in!" After Wang Rui spoke, the guards opened the door, and Huang Haiqing walked in again.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Wang Rui asked without raising his head.
"My lord, this cousin of Fang Erzhu is also here! I asked, and when the robbers came to rob, he happened to be on the hill behind Li Cun Village. He has seen all the situation of bandits in the village! Huang Haiqing reported.
"Oh, that's the case, so in the future, you have to do things like now, be clear, ask for clarity, and then report back." Wang Rui said with a smile.
"You go search him first, and I'll come out right away!" After Wang Rui gave the order, Huang Haiqing immediately walked out.
When Wang Rui walked to the front yard of the workshop, he saw him bring a young man who looked like a scholar and walked in.
This scholar is not brightly dressed, but he has a personable demeanor and extraordinary bearing. I saw him squeeze slightly, and said in a clear voice: "Your Excellency, please!" Student Fang Yuan, the table word Wenyuan. At the foot of Laoshan Mountain, the people of Fangjia Village are the west seat of Li Village's Li Youcai's old man's house. ”
"Fang Yuan, Fang Wenyuan! That's an interesting name, sir! Haiqing, make tea for Mr.! Wang Rui politely ordered.
Huang Haiqing clumsily brewed tea, Fang Yuan was not polite, and while drinking tea, he told Wang Rui about the situation when the thieves entered the village to rob and kill people.
This gang of thieves may also be poor and crazy, and after entering the village, they will rob everything, not to mention the silver and grain, even miscellaneous grains and broken clothes. This villager is also poor, and they are all poor tenants, so a few families who were stunned took a hoe and a kitchen knife and cut down a few thieves.
This gang of bandits refused to show weakness, and more than a dozen bandits rushed forward, killed several young people, burned down several thatched houses, and abducted four or five big girls and little daughters-in-law who were a little beautiful.
This old man Li Youcai's house was also robbed. However, Fang Yuan was not in the Li family at that time. His favorite thing to do in his spare time is to go to the mountains in the evening and sit and paint. Only then did he escape without a hitch.
Seeing the bandits fleeing, Fang Yuan hurriedly drew the route of the bandits' escape. After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Wang Wei with both hands.
When Wang Rui saw it, he was immediately dumbfounded: it is an accurate version of the landscape map! Roads, hills, rivers, and villages are all clearly marked, and even the escape route of the bandits is clearly marked.
This is talent! Wang Rui suddenly became excited: He has also read books and is a talent, which is a proper elite and intellectual in this Ming Dynasty!
"Sir, great talent! Haiqing, call Chen Ming and Xu Fu for me! Let's have a drink with Mr. Fang today! Wang Rui smiled and ordered Huang Haiqing.
After a while, Chen Ming, Xu Fu and others walked over.
"Come, come, everyone! Let me introduce to you, this is Fang Yuan, Mr. Fang Wenyuan! Wen Yuan is a great talent! Immediately, he handed the map drawn by Fang Yuan to Chen Ming and the others.
After reading it, several people were also amazed, and they came up very politely to greet Fang Yuan. Wang Rui immediately arranged a banquet in the thousands of official rooms for everyone to drink. During the banquet, Fang Yuan told the situation of the day again, and also expressed his own opinions.
After the banquet of the guests and hosts, Wang Rui stayed with Fang Yuan for a few more days and gave more ideas to the Fushan army. At the same time, Li Tianhao, who was in front of Fushan, was ordered to arrange for people to go to Li Village to investigate.
Who knows where this Fang Yuan came from? Did such a thing happen in Li Village? Wang Rui didn't want to fall into someone else's trap.
