"Brother-in-law......" Zhou Tiancai was sitting in Qiu's house, and when he saw Qiu Jiashan going home, he ran to the second gate to greet him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You kid!" Qiu Jiashan gently pestled Zhou Tiancai with a punch. Without waiting to reach the hall, he took out a small notebook from his arms and threw it directly to him, "You have to think about it." This kind of thing is about the rest of your life. If the king of Han is defeated, with this book, the Qing court will be able to kill your head. Qiu Jiashan suddenly lowered his voice. The power of the environment is really powerful, and in just a few months, the 'imperial court' has become the 'Qing court' in Qiu Jiashan's mouth.

"What else do you have to think about. My family, brother-in-law, don't you know? It's just a family of four, and I want to find one more drag, but I don't have it. ”

The Zhou family moved to Wuchang from the elders, and the old couple died of illness many years ago, leaving only a man and a girl, a sister and a brother. Zhou Tiancai was very good with Qiu Jiashan in the past, and now it has nothing to do with it. And the Qiu family, after expelling Qiu Jiashan from the house, really didn't associate with him. It's all on the same street, and I don't say hello when I meet. In Zhou Tiancai's words, it's too impersonal.

"You just have to think of it yourself. I don't advise you on this. I think that this Han king, the Han army, it is difficult to say whether it can be pushed to Beijing. But if the Qing court wanted to destroy the Han king, it was also extremely difficult. ”

"Do you see the armed police outside? Did you see the soldiers patrolling and standing guard on the road at the head of the city? Everybody's Iron Armor! And the cannons at the head of the city......"

Zhou Tiancai slapped his thigh, "That's not the reason." Based on this alone, the King of Han has a royal destiny for decades. ”

Just opened up the relationship with the nest in southwest Henan, and in less than a month, the Fu Han army all changed their clothes, and the main battalion heads were all iron armor and cuirass [muskets], and the non-main battalion heads were all cuirass or rattan iron armor.

Forty or fifty thousand people have all been replaced, and even the logistics troops have been replaced with rattan armor and rattan iron armor, what a huge momentum? It has spread all over Hubei, how many people's eyes have been blinded!? How many nights did people like Qiu Jiashan, who had a relationship with the Fu Han Army, be so excited that they couldn't sleep?

After many ordinary people in the countryside entered the city, they saw with their own eyes that the iron armor was emitting a cold light in the sun. Even many countrymen came to see it, which was much more majestic than the number one in the former Qing Dynasty.

The morale of the soldiers and civilians in Wuchang City who served the Han Army was bubbling up like boiling water. The fact that steel is cast is beyond doubt.

King Han and Duke Lu also specially ordered that all soldiers should wear armor this summer, even if they stood guard at the head of the city and patrolled in the city, they would rather shorten the duty time, let them change the guard frequently, take a break more, and wear all armor when they go out. This can greatly boost the morale of the army and the people, unite people's hearts, and make the people below believe in the Fu Han army.

Then there are cannons all over the place, Wuchang is the center of the whole Hubei, and the cannons that come with the iron armor are one by one. The muzzle of the cannon is thicker than the cannon of the army of Lu Gong, and I heard that it is a twelve-pound cannon and a larger sixteen-pound cannon. And Lushan has a thicker twenty-pound cannon! Thinking about it made Qiu Jiashan excited.

A cannon turned east from Wuchang, escorted by the warships of the naval division, or went west to Jingzhou, or went all the way down the river to the east, just like the previous iron armor, opened for the people to see, they were transported by a boatload to Jiujiang, to Anqing, and to the city of Nanjing.

Yes, there are still many rumors that the people say, and many rumors still don't stop, but no matter what you say, no matter how many mouths you wear out, how many rumors you create, you can't say that the real ironclad cannon is nothing, right? The eyes of ordinary people are not blind, no matter how little they see, the real things they see will not be fake. Even idiots know that a cannon with a thick muzzle is stronger than a cannon with a thin muzzle, and a soldier in majestic iron armor is stronger than a green battalion in a uniform. What's more, there is also a secret camp and the government in the middle of this, at least the people who are officials in the Fu Han Army are no longer nervous and think that the day is precarious. It's that people's hearts are in full swing!

Qiu Jiashan and Zhou Tiancai in this house at the moment are the people who were conquered by iron armor and cannons. Both of them firmly believe in one fact -- the old nest of the Fu Han army in southwest Henan is not simple, what is hidden there is not the arsenal of the Fu Han army, and these swords, iron armor and cannons cannot all be old hidden. Just like the Fu Han army that seized the south of the Yangtze River suddenly burst out with hundreds of cannons, the Fu Han army must have mastered a method of rapid production of iron tools, and this method was built in southwest Henan, where there is coal and iron! It can produce a steady stream of ironclad cannons, producing all kinds of ironware.

Now, this kind of 'insight' perception is a fact that many people agree on.

In Huangzhou Mansion, which is closer to Hanyang in Wuchang, there have been rumors recently: when the Fu Han army entered Huangzhou, it asked the remaining scrivener team leaders after the liquidation of the yamen to serve as section chiefs, but those people did not obey each other, and the Fu Han army did not force them, but only put some people who were willing to work or obey orders in their positions. As a result, these people did not expect that the Fu Han army was not a grasshopper after the autumn, but a tiger descending from the mountain, which swept through Hubei in two months, and is now in the limelight. At the beginning, it was rumored that the main force of the Fu Han army had to withdraw from the south of the Yangtze River, and the Qing Heavenly Soldiers had been fighting against the remaining Fu Han army in Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou for more than a few months, and they did not see that they had made any gains. Nowadays, some of the scribe team leaders are drooling when they look at the location of the bureau, but the great opportunity has always been that there is no store in this village, so how can there be a grass for them?

Some people are still willing to come in, because who of these officials and scribes has few enemies? In the past, when they were powerful and powerful, the enemy naturally endured it, but now that they don't do it themselves, they are also ordinary people, so won't there be revenge and revenge? These people have learned a lesson, no matter what, they would rather pinch their noses and nod their heads under the hands of their former subordinates, but also put on an official skin first. This matter was published in the "Wuhan Daily".

Qiu Jiashan felt that he couldn't really believe this, but this reflected a trend, and the confidence in the Hubei market in the Fu Han army was much greater.

Since Chen Ming opened up the connection between Hubei and southwest Henan, the price of iron in the whole Hubei has been plunging. Pig iron materials and various iron tools transported from southwest Henan, such as iron pots, shovels, kitchen knives, axes, scissors, etc., washed the iron price of the whole Hubei with an absolute dumping attitude.

In the past, the iron pot in Hubei cost hundreds of yuan, which was also because of the group training held in various places, which exacerbated the price increase of iron materials. Now it has fallen directly to six or seven copper circles. When the king of Han ascended the throne, the money was naturally new money, and now only gold and silver coins were minted, which was converted into one gold and ten silver. Three silver dollars are worth two taels of silver, but in reality, a silver dollar is at least eight dollars of silver. The silver dollar is patterned, beautiful and exquisite, and the quality is excellent, and the market price exceeds the actual price given by the official by a lot.

Ten silver horns are worth one silver dollar. During the Qianlong period, the silver horn specifically referred to broken silver, or a small silver nugget specially made by large families to reward people, and the silver horn launched by the Fu Han Army was a regular silver coin.

There are ten copper circles worth one silver horn, and the latter is cast from copper, lead, and tin, which is smaller than silver dollars, and there are not many of them.

The most common ones on the market in Wuchang are silver dollars and silver slots. The quality is excellent, and the reputation is naturally high. As soon as it was circulated in large quantities on the market, it immediately caused a boom and was recognized. The Wuhan Police Department's next very important task at present is to send personnel to maintain order and security protection at the Wuhan branch of the Bank of China. For every day there were people who took silver and exchanged it for silver dollars.

A large amount of silver was transported from Wuhan to Xiangyang via the Han River, and then transported by small boat to the old base area. A large number of silver dollars were also transported to Wuchang in one or two turns. Iron tools were also transferred from Wuchang to Jiujiang, Anqing, and Nanjing. Recently, there have been rumors that the government does not intend to manufacture iron pots, sickles, scissors, and other iron tools, and that these businesses will be handed over to civilian businessmen, including military uniforms, military shoes, and military rations -- not just lumps, but also all kinds of salted meat, cereals, instant soups, tea, sugar, wine, including toilet paper, kettles, lunch boxes, cigarettes, and so on, military tents, quilts, and even some weapons -- it is said that gun barrels will be handed over. Licensed for the production of bayonets, and springs, and so on.

Since Chen Ming opened up the connection between Hubei and southwest Henan, the four-wheeled carriage inevitably appeared in Wuchang. Many people know what springs are used for, and some know that they are also used in muskets.

Anyway, the Fu Han army is now fully supporting the industrial and commercial class in the territory. For this reason, even the hydraulic forging hammer was released. This thing may have been of some use to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the most basic elements of the production of ironclad guns and guns in the Fu Han army were the production of steel raw materials with huge output and the quick and simple casting of iron molds.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important aspects of people. Just like the poem said, since ancient times, there have been seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

There is no shortage of food in Hubei, and there will be no shortage of salt in the short term, and soy sauce, vinegar and tea can be produced by themselves. As for oil, hehe, that's something that rich people think about. And firewood is the honeycomb coal vigorously promoted by the Fu Han Army.

In the past year or so in southwest Henan, honeycomb coal has made great progress. In addition to the countryside, honeycomb coal in the city has seized a considerable amount of the market, and because the price of coal is so cheap, many large households have also switched to burning wood to coal. Just like Beijing, coal companies soon sprang up among towns in southwestern Henan. Now this tide is surging towards Huguang.

In the past, the territory of the General's Mansion was narrow, and even the General's Mansion itself used strong means to control the commerce in the territory in order to control the price of the market from getting out of control. In just over a year, whether it is Ruzhou or Nanyang, the market depression has decreased a lot compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But at this time, with most of Hubei as the backing, Chen Ming felt that he could already start promoting industry and commerce.

From the beginning of the army to May and June this year, the Fuhan army has been in trouble for two years. After the passion and caution at the beginning retreated, and the blindness at the beginning disappeared, is it very joyful to return to Lushan - the court this time? The greatest pressure on Chen Ming in the court was the policies he had formulated at the beginning.

Now many dignitaries are clearly aware that it was the policies formulated by Chen Ming at the beginning that made them feel very happy and happy, so that the military government of the Restoration Han Dynasty and the gentry and landlord class were far away and could not be united.

Their previous position and current position have changed a lot. He was a rebel before, but now he is in power, and fortunately Chen Hui still supports him. But whether this kind of support is only because Chen Hui feels his persistence, it is uncertain. Therefore, Chen Ming immediately promoted the industrial and commercial class, and he had to do it.

Anyway, in other things, Chen Ming has retreated a lot, such as the 'Jinshi' grade of the first scientific examination of the Fu Han Army, which was said to study the Tang and Song dynasties, and the Jinshi should also start from a petty official, but now he has to be placed in a relatively high position.

It is not a five-grade county order from the beginning, but it must also be a six-or seven-grade county bureau.

……

The Houfu compound and the two houses next to it in the east of Lushan City have now become Chen Ming's Lu Mansion.

As for what the Hou family is doing now? No one can say for sure, but I heard that they fled to Ruzhou at the beginning, and then there was no news.

Chen Ming was reluctant to make a big move to build a house, and Chen Hui was also very firm in this regard. Although one of the two people became the King of Han and the other became the Duke of Lu, in addition to changing the brand, the former's general's mansion was repaired according to the specifications of the former Ming prince. Of course, it is also a seriously shrunken specification, after all, the general's mansion is the foundation of a county government, if it is really repaired according to the specifications of the prince's palace, hehe! The latter's Houfu compound didn't sit on anything except for changing a brand, that is, opening up the two courtyards on the left and right. This is not to show anything, but because Chen Ming has too many women.

Chen Hui felt that the impact of wantonly building the palace was not good, although doing so would damage his prestige, and he would be scolded by some people as a grass platform team and a monkey, but it was better than bringing a series of 'extravagant winds' of large-scale construction, right? Chen Ming also thinks so, the poor are rich, it is better to take it easy. And he is convinced that in two years at most, they will not live here again. Chen Ming swore in front of Chen Hui.

Therefore, the father and son of the Chen family called the prince, in addition to the change of the title of the crown, they made a few crowns and nine chapters, eight crowns and seven chapters, and a bunch of other regular clothes and auspicious clothes, and the rest of the changes are really not much.

Striding into the backyard, I saw the two-and-a-half-year-old Chen Ding playing happily on the slide under a big pomegranate tree, his clothes were rolling to dust, and when he saw his father coming over, Chen Ding showed a bright smile to Chen Ming, slid down the slide, and then pounced on him. Two maids trotted to accompany him.

"Go, son. Let's go inside and cool off. ”

Chen Ming picked up his son and strode to the main hall in the backyard, where Li Xiaomei, who was sitting inside, had already stood up to greet him.

In the middle of the room was a four-legged stove, which was full of ice cubes, and small water mist hung on the outer wall of the copper stove, and small droplets of water were dripping.

There was also an ice basin in the northeast and northwest corners of the room, and there was a maid who shook the fan. Well, a pure human fan, Chen Ming doesn't know if there is such a thing in China at this time, anyway, he has a mouth cannon out. The gentle wind blew through the ice, and the wind became cooler.

Chen Ming's clothes were soaked with sweat, and they were stained by the mud on Chen Ding's body, Li Xiaomei stopped three steps in the gate, asked Chen Ming, and then without saying a word, let the father and son change and wash.

When Chen Ming finished grooming and walked out in a single coat made of cool summer silk, he saw a bowl of fruit yogurt on the coffee table, and the outer edge of the small silver bowl was still hung with frozen mist. The yogurt is garnished with fruit, and it is refreshing to look at.

The temperature in the room was much cooler than outside, and Xiao Chen Ding watched his father finish eating the silver bowl with his eyes, and his saliva was about to flow out. But small children, can not be in moderation every other day. Besides, compared with the child he saw in the military village today, Chen Ming touched his son's head, this kid is really too happy...... (To be continued.) )
