Zhu Hongsan looked at his advisers looking at him one after another, knowing that he couldn't stop them if he didn't say something dangerous.

Zhu Hongsan drank a glass of wine, moistened his throat, and said: "Look, if Li Zicheng occupies Beijing, he must go north to subdue Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army. Wu Sangui can be obedient, it is good to say, if he is not obedient to resist Li Zicheng. The Manchu army outside the pass will definitely enter the pass. At that time, it will not be a matter of changing the dynasty, everyone may have to change their clothes and change their clothes. ”

The people on the seat were surprised and said, "It can't be like what the lord said." The Manchu Qing Dynasty was only 200,000 people, could they occupy the Central Plains? ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Why did the Northern Song Dynasty perish before? Didn't it also make the Jin Dynasty, which had a population of hundreds of thousands, extinct. ”

Ma Jiyuan said: "What are the arrangements of the lord? ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "We naturally have to prepare for the worst. The second brother wants to come up with a plan how to get the support of the local squires in Guangdong. The next step for the eldest brother is to expand the scale of the business, and it is absolutely impossible to do without money.

Now a large number of displaced people from Jiangxi and Huguang are heading south, and I heard that the brigade has arrived in Nanxiong and Shaozhou. The second cousin should be prepared, and the displaced people should be able to go to Dongguan after the Chinese New Year. After all, we have a better life than the north, and we must do a good job in disaster relief and not starve to death.

Mr. Tong has the heaviest task this time, and after the arrival of the displaced people, Mr. Tong will have to recruit a large number of workers, and the factory will expand its scale. At the same time, the army should also be expanded. ”

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "The second brother had better go to Zhaoqing to visit Shen Youlong, if the Nanjing Donglin Party supports the new monarch, Shen Dilong will definitely enter Beijing to take an important position, and the second brother will take the post of Guangdong prefect before he leaves." Dongguan is too small to accommodate us now.

If the Guangdong Mansion is ours, please ask the second cousin to serve as the prefect, and Mr. Xu will serve as the prefect of Dongguan County. ”

Hearing that he was going to be promoted again, Feng Ziyong was very happy. hurriedly got up and thanked Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "Don't be attracted by the official position in front of you, let's be well prepared." In the future, everyone will be the official of the frontier, and the governor's book will be ours. ”

The task was assigned, and the individual came up with a simple plan, and agreed to hold a general meeting on the 16th day of the first month, and then decide on this year's work.

After finishing work, everyone began to drink heartily. I drank it until the lamp was in my hands.

Zhu Hongsan came to Ma Xiaofang's house, today is the first day of the new year, and he wants to share a room with the eldest lady.

Ma Xiaofang was very happy to see Xianggong coming. In the past six months, Zhu Hongsan has been too busy with work, and there are more and more wives, so he rarely comes to Ma Xiaofang's house.

Ma Xiaofang is twenty-eight years old, and some of them have become grandmothers in this era. Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Xiaofang, the current Ma Xiaofang is his favorite type.

Zhu Hongsan was lying on the bed, and Ma Xiaofang said while taking off Zhu Hongsan's shoes: "Master, the second sister-in-law came here today to tell me something." ”

Zhu Hongsan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ma Xiaofang said: "Zhu Hai is two years old, and the second sister-in-law said that she likes Zhu Hai very much and wants her daughter Xiaowen to marry Zhu Hai. What do you think, sir. ”

Zhu Hongsan was stunned for a moment, thinking of the matter of Ma Mingyuan that he promised back then. said that his heir was going to marry his daughter, it seems that Ma Mingyuan is optimistic about Zhu Hai. But it's okay, Zhu Hai is the eldest son, in this era of etiquette, as long as Zhu Hai is not a big mistake, his position cannot be shaken.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said, "The son was born to you, you can decide." But the girl from the second brother's family is older than Zhu Hai. ”

Ma Xiaofang said: "Am I still older than you? Wouldn't we be nice too? ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled: "You are older than me? That's bigger than me? ”

Ma Xiaofang chirped: "The old husband and wife still say some hooligan words." Master, sing me again, the king is coming to patrol the mountains, I really want to hear it. ”

Zhu Hongsan got up and said, "Okay, I'll sing while giving my wife wide clothes." After speaking, he went to untie Ma Xiaofang's clothes.

has been married to Zhu Hongsan for ten years, but Ma Xiaofang is still so ashamed that she is blushing when she sees her husband taking her lightly. After Zhu Hongsan untied his belt, Ma Xiaofang was already emotional.

Zhu Hongsan said: "Wife, shall we have another son?" ”

Ma Xiaofang said: "Then why don't you come up quickly?" Zhu Hongsan pounced on with a lewd smile.

Zhu Hongsan is now twenty-five years old, which is the age of vigorous energy, and Ma Xiaofang is not very happy. instructed Yahuan to find all the ladies, and held an uncovered meeting.

That is, seeing that the fifth lady Zhu Youjia was six months pregnant, Zhu Hongsan was a little softer, and the other five were paralyzed on the bed.

Seeing several wives fainting, Zhu Hongsan touched Zhu Youjia's chest and said, "How is it?" Satisfied? ”

Zhu Youjia said: "Everything is up to the master, and the master is satisfied." ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "I'm afraid of hurting my son today, let you go." You can solve it for the master with your mouth. ”

Zhu Hongsan was with several ladies until the fourteenth day of the first month, and it seems that he will have a few more children in a year.

———————— dividing line——————————

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the official time to go to work. Zhu Hongsan came to the office very early. Ma Shaoguang is his first day at work today, and his task as Zhu Hongsan's secretary is very important. He is responsible for recording Zhu Hongsan's schedule, reminding Zhu Hongsan of what he is going to do today, and archiving some documents in different categories.

Zhu Hongsan was really speechless when he saw Ma Shaoguang's clumsy appearance, and he finally cultivated a secretary and let Ma Jiyuan run away. This has to be re-cultivated, the key is to work with women in a good mood and not get tired, and this old man really has no passion.

Zhu Hongsan didn't come forward to help him, but just taught him how to do it and what to prepare in words. How to take good minutes of meetings, etc. At this time, everyone has arrived, and today is the time to meet to study the direction of the year.

It's all the staff here today. Including Qian Wanli Ma Fu, the three foremen and six battalion commanders, plus Ma Jingyuan. Zhu Hongsan waited until the four strategists sat down, and said, "Everyone is here, let's start now." Today, we are here to discuss the general arrangements for this year. Now, please tell us about the progress of your respective work. ”

Ma Mingyuan began to speak first: "My lord, we have initially gained a firm foothold in the past four months. It currently has a population of more than 15,000 people. Some of the big families in the area are not very friendly to us, and they think that we have attracted their tenants to work long. ”

Zhu Hongsan asked: "How many big families are there in the local area?" ”

Ma Mingyuan said: "The most important thing is the Zhang family, their family is not very powerful, but Zhang Jiayu was promoted at the age of nineteen, and he was also promoted to the Jinshi last year. Now he is a member of the Hanlin Academy, and he is a big man in the local area. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Let them join in at every turn, second brother, you send someone to talk to them, saying that we can underwrite their silk and tea, and at the same time we can set up a factory with them and outsource some simple projects to them." ”

Ma Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

The following is Ma Jiyuan's words: "In terms of business, Francois has asked us many times to increase the production of silk tea, but our manpower is really limited, so please take the idea." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Now the weavers in Guangzhou Prefecture are fighting their own battles, and there is no price alliance. Big brother, you organize a chamber of commerce, let's use the newly developed spinning machine of the factory to buy shares, and tell all textile mills. As long as they join the Chamber of Commerce, they can use the spinning machine for free. In the future, form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Francophone man, and don't reduce the price at will.

As for manpower, in a few months, a large number of displaced people from Huguang and Jiangxi will come to Guangdong Prefecture, and it will be resolved at that time. I also asked the eldest brother to send people to Shaozhou Mansion and Nanxiong Mansion to inform the displaced people there that we have a job here, and let them all go south. ”

Ma Jiyuan said: "If a large number of displaced people pour in, there will be a shortage of food. ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Qian Wanli went to contact the Francophone people and asked them to go to Vietnam to bring rice to exchange for porcelain and tea." There is also the eldest brother, I found that there is a local crop called sweet potato and sweet wheat, these two things have a large yield, and people need to be organized to plant them in large quantities. ”

Ma Jiyuan said: "I have seen these two crops, but they are fed to livestock, and the locals do not eat them. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "You can give food to the homeless, as long as they can eat enough, then it doesn't matter if it suits their appetite." There are also these two crops that can be used to make wine, and in the future, when the output is large, all of them will be used to make wine, which is also the gateway to money. ”

Ma Jiyuan nodded and did not speak.

Zhu Hongsan said to Feng Ziyong: "The displaced people are going to come over in large numbers, and the second brother must arrange their food and accommodation." Although it is not cold in Guangdong, it must be guaranteed to eat this aspect. And don't let them be idle, get some engineering construction for them to do. ”

Feng Ziyong said: "You can let them clean up the river." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "There are many more, such as the cleaning of side ditches in the county and the repair of stone roads. It all requires a lot of manpower. In addition, I plan to set up a chengguan team in the county seat and let them be responsible for the supervision of daily hygiene. It's too dirty in the county, how can you live there. ”
