Zhang Han was in his office at this time, opposite Liang Xing and Wang Changfu, as well as several bureau chiefs, plus Yang Qiu, as well as Sun Jingting of the Military Command Department, Li Dongxue of the Military and Political Department, and the newly established General Staff Department Zhang Han used Sun Yao exceptionally, and many people in the officer corps were not convinced by this candidate, because Sun Yao's qualifications were too shallow, whether it was in the former dart division or the inspection department, the qualifications were very shallow, and the highest was a deputy bureau chief in the past, and it was really far from the division officer at the same level as the general general.

In the hearts of everyone, Li Zhiye is a very good candidate, Li Zhiye is meticulous, has a good view of the overall situation, and has enough qualifications.

But Zhang Han has his own considerations, Li Zhiye is of course very good, but the traces of the old army are too deep, and his personality is too conservative, unlike what Sun Yao showed after this war is enough to amaze him, since this person can be used, then you might as well mention it and use it, even if you use it wrong.

Moreover, this is also a kind of balance, now there are two major forces in the army, one of the major forces is Wang Changfu's border army system, including Duoer and Li Zhiye, etc., who do not collect at night are also regarded as the periphery, and the other faction is Liang Xing's Tiger Department, Yang Qiu's Internal Guard Division is also regarded as the periphery, of course, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu are also very interesting, and they rarely communicate with each other, and the two have a very close personal relationship before, and now there is almost no private contact. It's just that no matter how you distinguish them, these two people are the big guys of the Tiger family, and they didn't run.

Then there is the mining department, the miners are highly organized, bold, and more receptive than the farmers, the miners have generally been promoted and reused after enlisting in the army, and there are not many of them, but because they are all too shallow, there are no representatives coming in, even if Sun Yao is a balance, so the miner department can be regarded as a big man.

Of course, whether Sun Yao can sit still depends on himself, and Zhang Han will not help him too much.

Yang Qiuxian said: "Shooting the sky robbed us three times, Wang swept the ground twice, a tiger once, Zhou Changle once, and Yu Shiqian nine times, the front is to grab the route from Xinping Fort to Zhangjiakou Fort, and also robbed the route from Tianchengwei to Lingqiu several times, Yu Shiqian mainly robbed the line from Lingqiu to Guangling, but asked them to rob a lot of fine iron, and very little silver. ”

Li Dongxue said: "The specific material loss is not large, but the personnel were killed two people, both of them were dart masters, seven people were seriously injured, and nineteen people were lightly injured, so this loss is large." ”

Everyone was solemn, and Duo'er and the others, who were not very good-tempered, were full of anger.

Yang Qiu continued: "These guys are scattered in the deep mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles, and the mountain people and villages have their eyes, and when the army enters and suppresses them, they will be scattered and hidden, and the army will gather again as soon as it is gone, so few officers and soldiers have seriously entered and suppressed it over the years, because they know that it is useless to suppress it." Previously, they had also robbed He Yusheng, but they had also robbed other people's goods, and recently this gang of bandits has robbed us, and many people are already watching jokes. ”

Yang Qiu's status makes him have a lot of information, and what he said about "many people are watching jokes" is of course not a disguise, but a fact.

Zhang Han said at this time: "Yu Shiqian is still not convinced, I have made a mistake in this matter." ”

He admitted his mistake, others breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Shiqian's strength is still the strongest, and he shamelessly gave up his status as a rogue, and concentrated on being a bandit leader who robbed his house, this kind of harm is the strongest, not only was Yusheng's convoy robbed, but even many rich families from Lingqiu to Guangling were robbed, after more than a month of development, Yu Shiqian recovered from more than 500 people to more than 1,000 people, and the territory is also very large, and his harm is of course the highest.

The rest of the pole bandits have also increased their number more or less, and it is estimated that in the entire large area from Xinpingbao to Lingqiu, the bandit poles have added up to several thousand.

"There have always been bandits, and all of a sudden it is so fierce that it is surprising." Sun Jingting said: "Director Yang's report also contains information that the bandits' equipment has suddenly improved, and I see that there is a reason for it, and it is not so simple. ”

"No matter what, we have to make a plan...... Zhang Han said: "If they dare to rob us, we have to be prepared to pay off the debt with our lives!" ”

"It's best not to do it before spring." Li Dongxue said: "It takes time to raise money and prepare for food, and it is also very difficult to use troops in winter. ”

Recently, he Yusheng began to build a large number of machines, and the first batch of machines bought in the direction of Macao were also shipped back, and the number was very small, Zhang Han plans to send people to Macao again in the near future, this time not to buy machines, but to send some young apprentices to learn from the experience of the gun factory in Macau.

In terms of cannon making, Zhang Han really doesn't have a technician who can take a shot, and even the simplest cannons have never been successful.

If self-reliance is blindly emphasized, Zhang Han suspects that the process of casting cannons will become incomparably long, and the cycle from trial production to finalization and then delivery to the troops is too long, and the labor and raw materials consumed are still two words.

This cost is too great, originally expected to be able to earn more than 400,000 silver by the end of the year, but although the silver is in place, it is almost left hand in and right hand out, and now it is still less than 100,000 taels at hand.

After the beginning of spring, you have to face the spring famine, the same is true on the grassland, the grass has not grown wild vegetables, the herdsmen are also hungry to death, the demand for Ming goods is also the largest, if the stock is insufficient, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, Li Dongxue is opposed to the use of soldiers...... Once mobilized, the cost of money and food will not be the usual budget, it will definitely increase exponentially, and once there are casualties, the bereavement and welfare will be a headache, and it is better to be still at this time.

"Let's talk about this again." Zhang Han said: "The General Staff Department will draw up a plan first. ”

"Yes, sir."

It was the first time Sun Yao had participated in such a meeting, and his face was quite nervous, but fortunately he was not too timid.

There was a feeling of distrust on everyone's faces, and the main reason was that Sun Yao's qualifications were too shallow.

After most of the people dispersed, Zhang Han left Li Dongxue behind, and said warmly: "Dongxue, let me say a word to you, you must keep in mind: if you seek peace through struggle, you will survive peacefully, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die peacefully." The bandits and us are in a relationship of incompatibility, we have to raise them on the one hand, and fight them on the other, and they are convinced, and they can be used by us, and then it is the time to send and receive them in our hearts. ”

"Eastern learning is taught." Li Dongxue was quite shocked and felt very touched by Zhang Han's "aphorism".

……

There are still more than ten days before the New Year, and the "New Year" is approaching, and all parts of Datong Mansion are extremely prosperous.

At this time, the New Year has not been renamed "Spring Festival", but the grandeur is only in the later generations, and the merchants settle the accounts, ask for debts, and there are not many people who choose to go out at the end of the year.

Tian Jitang still had a black face, as if it was much darker than before, and as soon as he sat down in the store, everyone was holding their breath, and everyone was cautious.

He used to be in charge of accounting affairs by Zhang Han's side, and later he was also in charge of some miscellaneous matters, Zhang Han had more and more book officials around him, and the accounts were becoming more and more detailed, and Tian Jitang had more and more things at hand, and now there are rumors that Zhang Han is going to set up a general affairs department, and he wants to separate the affairs of Yusheng from the affairs of Li Zhuang, Tian Jitang is also thinking about it now, if he still wants to be a pure account office, he will naturally continue to help Zhang Han cook and Yusheng's affairs, and he is still the "proprietor", if he wants to go to the inspection department to be the general affairs secretary, then he is the officialIf there is any mistake or omission at that time, it will naturally not be businessmen to businessmen, but officials to officials.

Now Sun Jingting and others have added the name of the officer, although the inspection department is the official position of the ninth grade, but there must also be officials underneath, according to the rules of the inspection department, the inspection department is not close to the people, and there is no right to judge, only the right to arrest thieves, and then the archers have no quota, depending on the local rush and the number of bandits, it is generally determined by the state and county, like Zhang Han, the inspection department is a standard freak, there is no state and county supervision, the funds allocated from above are only enough to recruit a hundred archers, and the extra share of the archers are recruited by Zhang Han himself, and the money and food are of course responsible for himself, There are only four posts in the economic system, and now they are all occupied, even if Tian Jitang wants to do it, he has to be regarded as a supernumerary, with his status in the business bank, the name of such an official is really not in his eyes, not to mention that it is still a supernumerary!

Tian Jitang's "pondering" is only aimed at Zhang Han personally, as well as the prospects of Zhang Han and Li Zhuang......

He also wondered a little in his heart, it is said that Zhang Han's personal future inspection department is over, inspection is a miscellaneous job, Zhang Han has no fame, according to the rules of officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, it is almost difficult for this official to be promoted, as for Li Zhuang, the territory of a patrol department, is there any greater future?

But in any case, Tian Jitang felt in his heart that the prospects of Zhang Han and all the businesses he operated were very grand, but he couldn't figure out what kind of "grand" method was.

I didn't understand, I just didn't want to, Tian Jitang retracted his thoughts, looked at the business travelers coming and going, and said softly: "Come, I'll take the account book!" ”

Semicolons everywhere will send monthly accounts and monthly statements, but the detailed accounts can only be checked by people like Tian Jitang in person, since the last incident, Zhang Han has been very strict with the accounts of the branches around the country, including the transactions between the branches and the commercial banks will also be investigated in detail, to prevent the occurrence of things like black-box operation transactions, plus those missing shopkeepers do not know the whereabouts, and those with a little IQ also know what to do next, Tian Jitang checked for a long time, only found that one or two accounts did not match, adding up to a few taels of silver for a small amount of money, I think it was an omission in accounting, It was not intended to be corrupt, but he reprimanded the branch account office and told him to check the accounts immediately, and then show them to himself after checking them.

Several accounts of the branch went to recalculate the accounts, Tian Jitang paced to the counter and looked at the street scene in a daze, the main function of this branch is the account bureau, the store is grand, and it occupies the best street in Taiyuan Fuzhong, it is very close to Fuqian Street, it is really not rich or expensive, the surrounding houses are also mainly rich or gentry officials, there are constantly small sedan chairs or large sedan chairs passing by, as soon as the gong is struck, pedestrians have to avoid, there are also military attaches on horseback passing by, the pomp and circumstance of the military attaches is much smaller, Even if it is a high-ranking military attache wearing a second-grade or third-grade robe, there are not too many guards and movements, and occasionally there are eunuchs from the palace passing by, walking in groups of three or five in the market, seeing these people and merchants are avoided, no one dares to step forward to take the initiative to greet them, a few eunuchs laugh and run rampant in the city, and a lot of goods have been moved on their bodies-
