Chapter 41: Back to Modern Times

When the staff heard Ding Qirui's inquiry, they replied after a little thought: "Governor of Shaanxi! ”

Ding Qirui said: "Is this Zhao Kang thinking too much, the Qipin County Commander wants to seek the second rank of the imperial envoy and the governor of Shaanxi to praise military affairs, is he capable of this?" ”

The staff said: "This Zhao Kang may not be able to be the governor, from the time I received the gift, I personally sent someone to check him, Zhao Kang, twenty years old, the third Jinshi in this year's Spring Talent, the article is so-so, his father is a Suzhou squire, his family has more than 3,000 acres of fertile land, and he can be regarded as a thin family, but he is unwilling to bribe the officials of the Ministry after the Zhongjin Shi, and he could have been sent to Jiangnan He was appointed by the court as the commander of Fugu County. ”

"I took office in March this year, and within three months, Fugu County, which was full of hungry people and was like a ghost town, was built into a holy place in the hearts of refugees. Now everyone in the entire Yan'an Prefecture, three prefectures, and sixteen counties knows that "when you arrive in Fugu, you will have food". It is said that he swore in front of the people that he would never let a single of his people starve to death. At the time, everyone thought he was talking big, but they didn't expect him to actually do it. From April to now, not a single person in the entire Fugu County has died of starvation. ”

At the beginning of June, Tianjiazhai Tianhu and One-eyed Dragon under his rule raised tens of thousands of troops to rebel, and colluded with the Mongolian Tatars of the Ordos Department to invade Fugu County, but he did not expect to be exterminated by him in less than a month, and the heads were still piled up in the back office of the adults. Fugu County, which originally had less than 20,000 people, has now almost 200,000 refugees, all of whom have been properly arranged by him, and he has also recruited a civilian training force of more than 20,000 people. Although the current Fugu County does not dare to say that it does not close its doors at night and does not leave its roads behind, but the robbers and bandits have become extinct, according to the people I sent out, the current Fugu County can even be regarded as the safest place in the whole of Shaanxi, even women and children dare to go out alone at night. Even Xi'an City can't do this. ”

The words of the staff made Ding Qirui shocked, his mind during this time was all on Zhang and Li, and he didn't realize that he could have such a talent under his rule. But then frowned and said: "Despite this, if I really recommend him to the court to be the governor of Shaanxi, I still feel that his official position will inevitably be promoted too quickly." Moreover, I have already received the money from the Wang family, and promised them to recommend Shaanxi to make Wang Qiaonian take over as the governor of Shaanxi, how can I go back on my word? I want to recommend Wang Qiaonian as the governor of Shaanxi, and even the court is afraid that he will know about it, but now that there is a sudden change, how can I justify myself? ”

The staff said: "Why are you so confused, of course the silver given by the Wang family is also an adult's, and of course the gift given by Zhao Kang is still an adult." And can't we set up two governors in Shaanxi? Why don't you recommend Wang Qiaonian to Governor Wang when you meet Yang Sichang and Yang Pavilion, and then recommend Zhao Kang to Governor Yansui, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? First, he can use Lord Wang to patrol Shaanxi, and he is not afraid that He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu and other general soldiers will not be satisfied, and secondly, he can also use Zhao Kang's talent to solve the problem of displaced people in Yan'an and Qingyang. ”

"And judging from the fact that Zhao Kang can quickly resolve the Tianjiazhai rebellion, Zhao Kang can not only govern the place, but also lead troops to fight, and he is proficient in Wen Taowu and martial arts, and he will become the right-hand man of the adult in the future."

Ding Qirui nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

———————————————————I am the dividing line of evil———————————————————

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Zhao Kang crossed again, of course, it was impossible for him to know that he already belonged to the kind of talent who was proficient in "Wen Tao Wu Strategy" in Ding Qirui's mind. At the moment, he was resting his head on Chunmei's little white rabbit and studying the "Da Ming Law Collection Interpretation Supplementary Regulations" full of traditional Chinese characters without any punctuation marks, and it was extremely difficult and lethargic to see.

Since the last fall, Chunmei has never let Zhao Kang mess around, she can see, she can touch, but she can't do anything else, even if she suffocates herself to the point of flooding and weakness, she must stop Zhao Kang at the most critical moment, and make Zhao Kang, who has tasted a woman for the first time, angry half to death. It is inconvenient for Zhao Kang, who is inconvenient to take out an artifact like a mobile phone to play, so he can only use some novels and documents from the county government to kill time.

However, Zhao Kang expressed his helplessness about the writing method of the late Ming Dynasty, which was full of traditional, vertical, right-to-left, and no punctuation. Even the "New Carved Embroidery Criticism of the Golden Vase Plum", which is known as the most [yellow] and most [violent] force, Zhao Kang didn't feel it when he looked at it. Zhao Kang didn't understand very much what kind of mentality it was to read this kind of book to see the spring heart rippling, the powder face with spring, and the flood Chunmei. Anyway, looking at the rough illustrations and complex and dense fly-headed characters in this book, Zhao Kang feels that he misses Japanese anime and the excellent works of teachers in a certain island country very much.

The recruitment of the militia is nearing completion, and the six major garrisons under it have been gathered. More than 100,000 men, women, and children push all kinds of chicken buses made by craftsmen in the city organized by Zhao Kang every day like ants between the coal bunkers outside the city and the major coal mountains around the county. Although the food brought last time was almost exhausted, not only were the coal bunkers built outside the city full, but two larger coal bunkers were built. The whole of Fugu County is full of construction sites. Those who reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy projects, dig wells, build simple city walls in towns and villages, and build roads......

Of course, these projects were all at the expense of Zhao Kang's provision of food and wages. In order to prevent the lack of grain brought from modern times, Zhao Kang used all the more than 10,000 taels of silver from the bandits to purchase grain in nearby Shanxi. But even so, with nearly 200,000 people eating and drinking, Zhao Kang felt that the food was a little unavailable. Zhao Kang thought to himself, as long as he survived this year and obtained the post of governor of Yansui, next year he would have to plant all the high-yield crops he brought from modern times on his own territory, so that he would no longer have to rely on the grain he brought from modern times.

Zhao Kang calculated in his heart that he had a great possibility of going to Yulin to take office in the future, and he had to find a way to transport the mineral resources of the counties under his rule to Yulin so that he could transport them back to modern times. Otherwise, these chicken buses and trolleys alone will transport hundreds of thousands of tons of coal from Fugu to Yulin every month, which will really cost the lives of those refugees. Zhao Kang thought to himself: Is he trying to find a way to build a railway from Fugu to Yulin? As for the trains, they can be fueled by coal-fueled steam engines. There is nothing in northern Shaanxi, but there is a lot of coal.
