"The adults and our voices are connected, and if we can go to Yanghe Acropolis as a deputy general, we will be able to talk to the entire Yanghe Road. If the general believes me, it may not be long before military exploits fall into the hands of the adults. ”

"You mean ......"

Lai Tongxin's mouth was open, speechless for a while.

Zhang Han smiled and drank tea, but did not give a positive reply.

Lai Tongxin felt that his heart was beating fast, he knew that Zhang Han had the full support of Lord Zheng of the military preparation, the governor of Datong and the governor of the three sides Zhang Han also left, and the general soldiers of Datong Ma also supported Zhang Han, but Zhang Han could also get the military exploits of the Mongols for him, if this was true, it was not impossible for him to be promoted to deputy general......

"What does Zhang Dong want in return?"

Lai Tongxin was not stupid, but still got to the point.

Zhang Han smiled, put down the teacup, and said calmly: "In the next general, the general will cooperate to set up an inspection department, and the location is the western vein of Daliang Mountain, close to the junction of Tianchengwei and Zhenyuwei. At that time, there were many bandits, and the adults said that the bandits were difficult to control and come back to life, so they had to set up permanent patrols and garrisons...... The article is generally like this, how to make it carefully, you can discuss it slowly. ”

"Zhang Dong is mainly an official?" Lai Tongxin is very keen on this kind of thing, and the boss with his mouth open, after half a ring, he said again: "Zhang Dong is mainly an official, he can try to become a naturalized military household, and then report for merit and acceptance, and within a few years, he can easily become a commander or a fellow commander of the guard, and the third and fourth rank military officers can easily get their hands, and the inspection is the ninth rank of the official position, and it is under the jurisdiction of the military department, and he must be subject to detention in the evaluation of merit and performance......

Zhang Han shook his head with a smile, and said with a very firm attitude: "It's not that I don't want to join the army, and it's not uncommon for me to be a guard officer and a patrol inspector, but I also want to ...... the position of patrol inspector."

It is not a trivial matter to set up a patrol, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang took the inspection very seriously, although the status was low, the location of the establishment was all Chong important place, with the unification of the war is also set up and withdrawn, to Yongle Renxuanhe now, the inspection department will be revoked or set up every once in a while, and there are still many soil inspection divisions in the southwest, that is not a miscellaneous official drain, but a hereditary Tusi, and the situation of the inner town magistrate is completely different.

What Zhang Han has to do is to inspect the officials, although the status is low, the duty is very important, and it is not a general or a soldier can be established, there must be a specific reason, and then the governor will ask for the establishment, and the central government will be under the jurisdiction of the military department after the approval, and the inspection can hire archers by themselves, stand on the key roads, check the traitors, suppress the group of thieves, and secure the merchants.

"Okay." Lai Tongxin said indispensably: "Ben will definitely help." ”

He also did not ask Zhang Han to assure him that Zhang Han had been in Xinpingbao for so long, and he had not broken his promise, and Lai Tongxin believed him.

……

Coming out of Lai Tongxin's mansion, Zhang Han rushed to the mule and horse shop again.

Almost everyone, including Liang Hong, was there.

It really feels like "all in one place".

Everyone gathered, and after gossiping on the road for a while, Zhang Han didn't say too many details, and after talking for a while, Liang Hong said again: "I have sent someone to Lingqiu, please come over." ”

Zhang Han said: "How is Brother Xiaozheng doing? ”

Liang Hong said with a smile: "It's good, I came here once a year ago, and I escorted a lot of iron tools." Now there are many big merchants in Xinpingbao who have not gone to other iron yards to buy, only into our goods, which are slightly lower than the wholesale price to him, we want to ship in large quantities, and they want our price to be low. ”

"How about our cost control?"

"There are Dongshan Club helpers, our miners are also very familiar, and brought a lot of newcomers, we have built two large blast furnaces, now 50,000 catties of molten iron are produced every day, the molten iron is very pure, the coke is used less, and the cost is much lower than that of other iron farms, Dongshan Club and Li Da use them that is, the proprietor's heart, to give them into the meeting, teach them how to smelt iron, otherwise, the whole Lingqiu we can also eat."

Zhang Han said with a smile: "There are 6,000 people in the Dongshan Society, and tens of thousands of people are employed in the large and small iron yards in Lingqiu, and they can be eaten all at once?" Poke out the big Louzi, and the fun will be great. ”

This was not mentioned, and in just a few words, Zhang Han knew that Lingqiu's side was generally normal.

"Li Zunlu also sent people every few days, very anxious, I sent the rules and silver over there according to the rules set by the proprietor, in general, there is nothing to argue about, Zheng Bingbei, Ma Zongbing, Zhang Zongbing, as well as the governor's military gate, patrol, the place that should be checked, I personally do it, all the expenses are recorded in the account book, and Lao Li calculates it clearly, and the owner can check the accounts when he is empty."

Speaking of the accounts, Liang Hong looked a little nervous as if he was a big guest.

Zhang Han nodded and said, "I'll see it when I'm free." ”

Liang Hong retreated, Wang Changfu stepped forward and said: "After the proprietor left, we opened up a route to the side pass, to the south to Pingyang Mansion, to the west to Yansui Town, all the way every thirty miles to build a mule and horse shop branch, sixty miles to build an account bureau branch, the dart master now has four hundred and seven people, plus the owner brought back the manpower, there are already four hundred and thirty people, or according to the rules of the proprietor, the new dart master first training and then go out to practice, the old dart master comes back for rotation training every other time, and now they are generally qualified in physical fitness, The battle formation training and firearm training are basically completed, and there are literacy courses, which, after the proprietor leaves, are also learning, but there is nothing else to learn......"

Zhang Han scolded with a smile, saying that he had to pay close attention to the literacy course after he came back, and all the dart masters, including Wang Changfu, were gray-faced, these people were not afraid of hardship, sweat, and bloodshed, but they were afraid of reading and literacy.

"Dart Xing will choose a place in the future, I will use more dart masters, but they must be more capable, literacy, martial arts, battle formations, art of war, everything must be ......" Zhang Han said to many dart masters: "The treatment is much stronger than the current dart masters, so strong that you can't imagine...... I'll talk to you later. ”

Everyone was a little shaken, Chang Wei felt very excited on the side, my cousin has such a ability, and the people attracted by a few words were extremely excited, and every dart master's eyes were shining, and he felt that a better future was waiting ahead.

The mule and horse shop is mainly managed by Liang Hong, and the branch shopkeepers are in charge, Lao Cai is responsible for the logistics and daily management of the mule and horse shop, Zhang Han asked Lao Cai to say a few words, Lao Cai's expression ability is poor, and he also listened carefully.

"There are eleven guys who can drill the barrel of the gun now, and I do it myself, and I can produce about a dozen finished ...... every month."

Wang Debang is very excited, he can sit here and talk with these shopkeepers and dart masters, and he is also very valued.

"Don't do that yet." Zhang Han said to Wang Debang: "The finished products that have been made can be used for training first, and then we will use them in the future, and now stop when the work at hand is done, and I will have new work for you and your subordinates." ”

"Yes, proprietor......"

Wang Debang was a little surprised, the firearm, especially the Lu Mi gun is a firearm that Zhang Han values very much, the Lu Mi gun is farther than the bird gun, it has lethal power within seventy or eighty steps, and it is much farther than the effective range of the bird gun forty or fifty steps, but it is very laborious and laborious to make, and now more than a dozen people have done it together for a month or so, reaching such an output Wang Debang originally felt very proud, who expected Zhang Han to say that he would not do it at once, he felt that he couldn't touch the owner's vein, and he didn't know if the new errand could be brought down, For a while, Wang Debang became extremely nervous, and fine beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

Zhang Han was very careful, and when he saw this, he said to Wang Debang in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, Lao Wang, we will discuss the new errand together, and you can do it." ”

"Thank you." Wang Debang was almost crying, he stepped aside with a stiff face, feeling that he was very useless and embarrassed in front of the proprietor.

In fact, Wang Debang's psychology of gaining and losing is not the only one, Li Changnian and Yang Hegao are very nervous.

"The carriage and the weapons and armor are very well done." Zhang Han looked at the two of them with a gentle face, and said slowly: "When I entered the fort, I saw a new carriage, which is smaller and stronger, it seems that the load-bearing axle between the frame and the wheels is better, and the body of the carriage is more streamlined, so that the load will not be low, but the possibility of running broken on the grass is reduced, and I have done a good job for many years, and I will reward everyone after a while, and you will also have a share." And Lao Yang, when I entered the fort, I saw that everyone in the dart masters had a good waist knife, this is your credit, I also see it in my eyes, and I will remember ......"

The two craftsman leaders also stood up, wiping their sweat like Wang Debang, holding back their tears.

They are the most miserable people, their status is lower than that of military households, their lives are more bitter than beggars, beggars can eat at least for nothing, they do cattle and horse work, and they eat worse than beggars, the family is cold and hungry, and the generation after generation is still in this position, in Heyusheng here, Zhang Han called them worry-free food and clothing, gave them money, and asked their children to study, in addition, they managed a group of people with their skills, accepted their own apprentices, and had a status no worse than others. Almost overnight, everything changed dramatically, everything was given to them by Zhang Han, and now seeing the proprietor return safely, and making people feel that the future will be better, they really can't help but cry.

The atmosphere in the big room became very friendly and harmonious for a while, and everyone was immersed in this atmosphere, and they were reluctant to speak for a while.

Liang Xing's face was also full of smiles, Duo'er and Zhao Shiwen, Zhao Shiwu brothers, as well as Li Zhiye, Ren Jing, these few people who went out at night did not accept this time in this group for a short time, and their feelings at this time were also the most profound, they were all very happy, in such a world, it was really good to be able to keep up with the owner like Zhang Dongzhu in front of them.

Chang Wei looked left and right, silently remembering everything Zhang Han had done in his heart.

He's more depressed today...... Thousands of miles back and forth, Chang Jinquan only said a few words to him, and then he only cared about talking about business, and he was talking to those shopkeepers, Chang Wei felt that his father's feelings for him were also all in business, he had the heart to say some things he had seen and heard, and boasted about his experience, if he had done it a year ago, but with the enrichment of experience and the growth of age, Chang Wei has understood that the more he wants to get something, the more anxious he is to perform, the more he will lose.

Chang Wei understood that he could only wait for the opportunity and asked his father to understand his value.
