Chapter 480: Gradient 4
Qingzhou, a temporary camp on the side of a certain section of the road, sounded the iron plate of the shutdown and rest
"Today's next meal, salt dishes...... It's coming."
"There are salted cows, vinegar celery, pickled beans, spicy dried shreds, pickled radish skin, pickled melon strips and dried kelp......"
"The portion is limited, come early and get it early......"
With the shouting, groups of people covered in mud and dust, who were putting down their tools from their labor, and the disbanded crowd suddenly swarmed into the windy dining shed on all sides, grabbed pieces of roasted hot, soft potato pieces, and scooped a spoonful of pickled vegetables with a wooden plate and pottery bowl.
As a daily patrol, Cai Yuanchang, also walked slowly along the aisle that had been cleared of ice and snow, looking at these busy figures, and a long breath of smoke protruded.
Then he walked to the stove, which was full of choking smoke, took a scoop from a somewhat muddy cauldron, scooped a spoonful of hot water, drank it slowly to warm his body, tasted a freshly baked potato, and ate a few bites of salted vegetables in a large pot. But he couldn't help frowning and said to the people from the side,
"Why is there a burp with a little bit of sand......"
"Even the lowest supply ......"
"We also need to ensure the most basic hygiene."
"Don't be lazy ......"
"Otherwise, it will cause some epidemic and cause unnecessary damage"
"It even delayed the progress and process ......"
"There are people waiting to replace you......"
"Yes Yes ......"
The person in charge of the fire nodded busily.
"The small ones must be doubly careful and pay attention to ......"
Cai Yuanchang glanced at the crowd who were eating, most of them had already eaten their allotments, and were taking advantage of the consumption and rest for a while, gathering in groups of three or five to talk, although they still looked tired, but they were finally far away from the weakness and weakness of the yellow muscles.
Most of their lives and demands are extremely simple, and in this turbulent world, in the cruel and difficult winter, it is quite satisfying to be able to get enough to be fed, so they will not be unwilling to work hard.
And for Cai Yuanchang,
Unconsciously, more than a month has passed, and fate has played a big joke on him here, and the dreams and opportunities that he had been discouraged and completely given up seemed to be in front of him again,
He is now a staff member with the title of pushing the official under the Qingzhou Economic Strategy Envoy's Office, who is responsible for the integrated management of the military and the people, although in the name of this economic and strategic envoy, it is still shabby and simple, and there is no decent structure at all, but only two or three general clerks and kittens are doing some miscellaneous things with various names.
But this is not a good thing for the philosophy he has and what he is good at. Because this also means that the governance team of the economic strategy needs to start from scratch and rebuild it one by one from scratch.
As long as he can grasp the opportunity, have enough performance in the process, and play more roles and values, as one of the founders of cooperation, he will always get more things and opportunities.
And he has followed the elders of the family for many years, and the things that he has been exposed to have always been useful, the so-called Fujian Zi Cai's family heirloom learning, he does not lack faith and determination in this regard.
Now, the old man he worked for also has the power to Liangji Observation Envoy, Qingzhou Town Guard, Tianping Army Envoy, Imperial Left Army Commander, and Northern Attack Envoy and a series of titles, although most of them are only power leaders, without specific powers and jurisdictions.
However, according to the rules of the National Super League, there are still corresponding specifications and treatments, such as the right to appoint subordinates to manage political affairs to assist in the management of various large and small affairs. But correspondingly, almost all of the teams around Luo Jingliu are from the military, and even if they are civilian assistants, they are more inclined to act in the aspect of military affairs.
Therefore, there are not many decent practical and practical manpower available for people who can play a practical role in this strategic and practical role, except for the dozen or so staff members headed by the confidant Wuping, as well as the people who were temporarily assigned by him and Zhao Ding, who also defected halfway.
This also means that in this nascent system, there are more opportunities and prospects. After experiencing drastic changes in identity and environment, and various ups and downs, Cai Yuanchang does not feel that he is the kind of person who is easy to be hypocritical, nor does he feel that he has the qualifications to hold his own talent and grasp his identity, so he can only do his best to do his duty in front of him.
What's more, as a Fujian son, the Cai family is also burdened with some things that have been passed down for a long time.
According to the consistent saying in the south, after hundreds of years of secession and war, the so-called northern land no longer has a decent legal sage learning, and the only thing left is the various "official learning" that has been derived from each other and served by various large and small military leaders.
And as the only remaining remnant of Qi in the world, his Cai elder also had to make many compromises and adaptations for the needs of reality. Therefore, what they have passed down, the roots and concepts of Qi science in the past, have evolved into the unrecognizable family traditions.
And although the affairs he is undertaking now are humble and monotonous, they are not the starting point and cornerstone of the remnants of ancient qi science in his hands.
However, within this emerging powerful group, his only advantage and reliance is only the old acquaintance relationship with the master who used to be a one-sided friend and even admired. Therefore, only by doing every task well can he have the opportunity to pursue and obtain what he wants.
What's more, he is not without competent competitors and potential opponents. Although, for the chief staff of the old team, Wuping, or the counselor represented by Su Changsheng, he didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes for the time being.
However, after this period of contact and talk and demeanor in getting along, he also had vague guesses and ideas, and Zhao Dingbiao, a native of Xuzhou who had surrendered earlier, was by no means as simple as an ordinary scholar who was depressed, and perhaps it also represented the attempts and efforts of a certain Northland school or source that had long since died out to find another way out.
"Urusse ......"
Cai Yuanchang, who was full of thoughts, was suddenly startled by a voice
"I'm going to knock you down!"
But I saw a young man wearing a special bowl on his head, suddenly waving the handle of this broom, jumping out and waving into the air
"Crescent Moon ......"
"Eat me and ......"
"That's enough, Ichigo,"
Immediately following was the leader of the Auxiliary Army, Ren Kuroshima, who shouted helplessly.
"Why did you forget to take your medicine again, and you sneaked out to scare people?"
"Get me back......"
A group of auxiliaries with ropes and strips of cloth swarmed him up and wrapped him around his head, and then tied him up and carried him back. It's very cooked, and it's obviously not the first time.
"Stop, I'm going to save the world......"
"Let go of me, I haven't defeated the Spirit King yet......"
As the shouts of struggle faded away
"It's called Cai Tuiguan to laugh when he sees it......"
Kuroshima Ren said to Cai Yuan a little apologetically.
"This guy is the young master of the Kurosaki family of the Fuso Domain, and he originally came with me to experience and gain more knowledge."
"It's just bad luck, since the last time I was on the battlefield, I was kicked in the head by a horse,"
"When I woke up, I looked like I was crazy."
"I always think that I can see the ghosts and dead souls from the spirit world,"
"All day long clamoring to destroy this, fight to the death with that."
In Yidu City, in the carved and painted mansion of the transport envoy, I was stroking the kitten Schrödinger's pleasant paws facing the sky, revealing the soft fur on his belly, and taking the time to look at a spy report from out of town, as well as the specific evaluation of several participants on the bright side.
"This Cai Yuan is ......"
I sighed slightly, but I couldn't help but have some kind of strange expression on my face.
But I didn't expect that someone with the same name and background as the traitor of another time and space would actually be a rare talent in internal affairs, and he would be more competent than I thought. As his partner, Zhao Ding, a leading party from Xuzhou, has also done quite well in the management of specific affairs.
It is said that during the period of cooperation between these two, they had good performance and skillful experience in dealing with household formation, taxation, and criminal litigation. Someone once inquired in detail privately, only to know that he had participated in similar general affairs under the cultivation of the elders who had entered the scene.
By the way, I remember that according to the trajectory of another time and space, that Cai Yuanchang was also under the banner of Wang Anshi's new party, and he emerged with his talent and ability, so that he was able to stand in the position of a generation of power ministers.
In contrast, this Zhao Dingcun's sense of zài is much worse, and his record in the history books is more about the identity of Cai Yuanchang's opposite, Qingliu, and asks the world. Therefore, putting the two of them together is not a means of personal malice and conspiracy.
But now it seems like a bit of a waste. After all, I am busy with all kinds of new affairs, and now I really lack this type of manpower, even if I have concerns and ideas, out of the attitude of diligence and hard work, some kind of universal motivation and demonstration can only be put in the bottom of my heart, and I will make full use of it first.
I don't have the kind of protagonist aura who can move his subordinates to selfless dedication and dedication and die after doing his best, and I don't hope that my subordinates can initially and maximally dedicate themselves with the least needs.
Thinking of this, I went around the map again to see if I could arrange a more suitable place for them to go, and I could play their ability limit (surplus value) more reasonably, instead of being treated as some kind of luck by staying around.
In addition to the entire territory of Qingzhou and most of Yizhou, troops were also sent to control the neighboring territory of Zizhou, Gaoyuan, Changshan, and Zichuan on the south bank of Jishui, and Anqiu, Gaomi, Zhucheng, and Xianxian on the east bank of Yishui.
Coupled with the original Qingzhou and Yizhou control districts, so far under the name of my Qingzhou town guard, there are more than a dozen cities, large and small. Judging from the map, it is roughly distributed in the central part of Shandong Province in the later period, and it just zigzags across the land edge between the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea.
However, with the exception of a few cities such as Yidu, which have been filled in and immigrated and included in the military administration, this top-down control is mostly based on superficial military occupation. As the surviving natives, we can neither resist this reality, but we cannot expect their full cooperation or voluntary effectiveness.
And these places are also very withered, even worse than Qingzhou, so my troops control and occupy them, most of these cities are intact, and then all they harvest is a bunch of people waiting to be killed.
Therefore, I have only ordered to take out the surplus of some surplus materials, and to collect most of the remaining young men from these places as labor teams to build roads and bridges, and there is no way to do more.
In fact, for the local people who can only survive in the winter, struggling between hunger and cold, even if they are ruthless to do the kind of tax collection and grain collection, they don't want to squeeze out much.
On the contrary, because of this, they are desperate to rebel again, or become a large-scale outcast, and they need to waste my troops and resources to suppress it again, that is, the real gains outweigh the losses.
As a newcomer in the new era who has been deeply affected by the characteristics of the national dynasty since childhood, in the ideological and moral lessons that have been deeply influenced by the characteristics of the national dynasty, about the analysis of the nature of the ancient and modern ruling classes and the understanding of various means of governance, of course I will not make such a stupid mistake, but instead slapped those obvious sycophants on the horse's legs, and couldn't wait to persuade me to exercise my authority and duties as a subject like thunder and fire, and to severely rectify these poor sticks, and pull them outside and whip them to punish them.
In the end, except for a few bridges and Jinguan located between Jishui and Yishui, which needed to build fortifications and set up key garrisons to prepare for the invasion of the enemy, the rest of the counties were settled, and only a small number of third-rate troops were left to maintain local order and basic daily life for the time being. Then there is a symbolic announcement of exemption from taxes for the coming year.
The surplus forces are shrunk to the nearest area, with Yidu as the center and radiating on all sides, located in several large cities on the main traffic arteries, which can be used as a mobile response force in the vicinity, and can also reduce the daily consumption and pressure on local apportionment.
At this stage, our main threats and opponents are only those Humar who are scattered and wandering in the Central Plains, and the foreign princes behind them.
It's just that I repeatedly looked at the extended dots and lines marked on the map, and I always felt that there was still a little bit of a difference.
