Chapter 272: Loser
Qin Chuan sat down and spoke, everyone in the hall was listening carefully, many people were still nodding while listening, in the past, Qin Juren arranged and discussed something, everyone was pretending to be serious or sneering and flattering, even if they pretended to be like that, people with a heart could feel how much it was fake, but today is different, everyone Qin Chuan said is from the bottom of their hearts.
“...... Wei can't count on it, they don't have many people to gather to protect themselves, the border army can't be counted on, even if there is, they are all gathered in Datong City and various border cards, we can only rely on ourselves, we can only rely on the men and women in this city, but this use also needs to use a rule, you must know how strong your own strength is, to use this strength to ten percent......"
The Mongolian horse team comes and goes like the wind, and the officers and soldiers are difficult to match without careful preparation, but the Mongolian cavalry is strong, but there are not many ways to attack the city, or the ordinary city is not worth their deaths to attack, the officials and gentry of the Daming border town and the soldiers and civilians all understand a truth, once the Mongolian horse team enters the Kou, the city is the safest place, everyone also knows that the official army can not be counted on, the Mongolian cavalry comes, the officers and soldiers are not moving like a mountain at first, and they dare to act only when they gather into a large group, and if the official army really comes, the local disaster is not much better than the Mongols.
The leading figures in Huairen County all understand that they can't count on the official army now, they can't count on any external forces, they can only rely on themselves, and this Qin Juren is telling them how to better rely on themselves.
The local gentry and people in the border towns are not useless, they are much tougher and tougher than the hinterland of the Central Plains, they know how to resist when the Mongolian horse team enters the army, how to block the city gate, how to organize the people, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, it has long formed a common rule, but what Qin Juren said is more effective, and can mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized in the city.
The four city walls in the southeast, northwest and northwest, in addition to the north gate that has been blocked all the year round, there are three city gates in the southeast, west and west, if you really want the Tartars to attack, the whole city is guarded, how many people should be put at each city gate on each city wall, how many materials should be provided, and how many equipment in the city are all clear under Qin Chuan's arrangement.
The number of men and money and equipment needed in that place was estimated in advance, and the chiefs of the three classes and six houses and the powerful gentry were appointed as leaders, and six districts were divided into the county, each corresponding to the city walls and gates in one direction, and the inhabitants of this area were provided with food and food in this direction.
In the past, there was any tolerance in the county, often the official gentry hid aside, no one did not contribute money and food, all of them let the small people bear, such things are common in the world, but the world is not motivated to work because of this, and this arrangement has also corrected this drawback.
"There are eggs under the nest, everyone understands this truth, if anyone takes care of the small family and forgets everyone, Qin has to uphold justice for the villagers." This is in the name of righteousness, after Qin Chuan finished speaking, the officials and gentry below made an expression of disobedience on their faces, no matter what they thought in their hearts.
“...... Even if you change someone else, it won't work even if you arrange it like this, but who dares not to listen to Master Qin's words, that tiger has also entered the city, and no one wants to suffer in the middle of the night, besides, this matter is also for the good of everyone......" There was also such a discussion after dispersing in private.
When Qin Chuan was discussing with the officials and gentry in the county, he deliberately pointed out that most of his plans and arrangements were Zhu Da's suggestions, but everyone had heard such words, and said that the relationship between the righteous father and the righteous son was really good, and the righteous father had to make a name for the righteous son on such an occasion, but everyone was not stupid, so meticulous and orderly, how could it be that Zhu Da, a little clever rough man, could come up with it.
Don't say it's these plans and arrangements, now everyone thinks that Zhu Da's business in Baibao Village is planned by Qin Chuan behind it, and the business of buying high and selling stolen goods is also Qin Juren's idea, don't look at what Zhu Da is tossing after coming to Huairen County, it is all relying on force to run rampant and domineering, although it is said that one city is inside and one outside the city, but everyone who delivers news every day just can't see it.
After agreeing on the rules, it is implemented, when the county's population and materials are inventoried, even the self-proclaimed three classes of six house officials who know nothing are a little shocked, the county's population is one-fifth more than they know, there are about 3,100 people, a total of 1,800 men can be used, more than 900 women, children, old and weak people can come in handy, and the accumulation of official and private warehouses can provide the people of the whole city until March next year.
After this result came out, everyone didn't say anything on the surface, but there was a discussion in the private relationship of the close relationship, if it was according to the old style, I was afraid that the ordinary people in the city would first send people and food, and then it would be the turn of some backgrounds and deputy servants in the yamen after the dead broke the family, and when they were all tossed, they would be big families, and this would be divided into three, six, nine and so on according to the power and fame, and in the end, the big families may not have any losses, and they will make a profit on the acquisition of the field house afterwards, and everyone can also think of this ending, so they will not do their best, But as soon as the results of this investigation come out, no one can hide it if they want to, and no one can escape, so it will be a heart.
"If we want to let the old man pay for it, we can't do it, and this matter can only be arranged by the old man Qin."
Everyone thought very clearly, it was precisely because Zhu Da led so many people into the city that everyone didn't dare not listen, it was difficult to be vague in the past, and now there is no discount.
Because the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city have long been properly arranged, Zhu Da resumed training the next day after entering the city, and the intensity and density of training here are even greater than those outside the city, because the family and young people here do not need to take shifts, there is no need to load and unload the materials transported from the city here, and there is no need for so many people to patrol at night, Zhu Da does not want the people below to have any leisure.
There were a total of 195 family members, young poor people, and young refugees, and they were divided into two places for training, and the training places were rotated every day, that is, one side to that side, and that side to this side.
In addition to training, I have to work for an hour and a half every day, that is, to clean up the low-lying land in the south of the city, where weeds are overgrown, all kinds of dirt accumulate, and in winter, although there is the trouble of soil and garbage being frozen hard, but it also avoids the trouble of sewage crossflow, mosquitoes flying around, and stinking odor.
In addition to Zhu Da's male labor, he also hired the people in the city to come and help, originally Zhu Da was ready to pay with copper money, but at Fu Yu's suggestion, he bought the old grain of the county treasury at a low price, and used this to convert the wages, and the household owed Zhu Da a favor, not to mention that these old grains are not bought by anyone, and the people in Huairen County may not be willing to ask for money, the county is short of materials, and the food is good enough to eat, and if you don't eat it now, you can use it when you are young and yellow after the end of the year.
I didn't see the sky lit up by beacon smoke for a few days, and the atmosphere in the city quickly relaxed, and even because the Spring Festival was approaching, it was okay to let it go, and the small county town didn't have much fun, and the people went to work for Zhu Da, and the characters with faces also went to watch the excitement.
On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, there are a lot of people who surround the depression in the south of the city to see the excitement, for many people, it is enough to see the excitement here once, and the county is more people than this when the people are levied and issued, but many people who have seen it once come to see it again, because the house is inherited by the master of Zhou Guizhou came to see.
Zhou Jingcheng rarely went out in the past winter, some time ago I don't know why I was diligent in the yamen for a while, and then I didn't go out of the door, and I didn't even see many guests, of course everyone had to rush over to flatter when I went out today, although Qinchuan Qin Juren arranged everything in an orderly manner, but everyone had no bottom in their hearts, and there was unwillingness and resistance in their hearts, and the magistrate and the master couldn't count on it, and the backbone was Uncle Zhou Guizhou......
"Although this Zhu Da is from a poor background, he has also made money in business, and he is not a rich nouveau riche from the poor, but how can he spend money like this, this depression in the south of the city is the thatched house in our Huairen County, what is he tossing."
Now Zhu Da is leading people to train, and only Chang Kai and Chang Shen brothers lead the farmers of the grange to be supervisors in the depression in the south of the city.
The onlookers were on the other side, although everyone was working on errands in the third shift and six rooms, but in the understanding of the county officials, the Chang brothers were outsiders, and everyone deliberately lowered their voices when they were discussing.
"This piece of land is equivalent to being given to him for free, but you calculate how much money he spent on it, not to mention the money and grain hired by the people, and how much silver the iron tools used to dig the ground and dig the pits, but the old Zhang family has a good business."
If you want to break up the frozen dirty garbage and transport it out, you can only use shovels, pickaxes, and iron drills to hit hard, these are all real money, Zhu Da is really willing, and the old Zhang family's blacksmith shop has set a rule, the bad ones can be repaired at any time, and the ones that can't be repaired are replaced with new ones, which is a lot of silver.
At the beginning of the construction, the residents in the city who came to work were reluctant to use it, and more people wanted to hide and steal it, but the Chang brothers and their cronies couldn't rub the sand in their eyes, besides, how could it be so easy to hide and steal such a large farm tool.
The people who came to do the work felt distressed, and those scribes who knew the prices and accounts had more elaborate calculations, but no matter how they calculated, they felt that it was a pure loss of money to make a living, everyone felt that this was more money to burn, and they had to sneer when they found an opportunity, because suddenly there were more Qin Ju and Zhu Da on their heads, and everyone was very depressed, so they had to laugh even more, although there were also old people who felt that no one would do the business of losing money, not to mention that Zhu Da was such a shrewd character, even if Zhu Da was a fool, then Master Qin was very smart.
Everyone, you say everything I say, in fact, it is for Zhou Jingcheng and Zhou Gui, of course these people who speak understand that Zhou Gui is well-informed, they say that these are to show their own position and make an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred.
