Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings. -- Zhu Sheng.

This is the strategy offered by Zhu Sheng to Zhu Yuanzhang during the period of hegemony at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In the words of later generations, it is 'farming'.

There are many people in later generations who don't like farming texts, and what they want to see is a passionate essay that will be killed as soon as it appears. But the previous life was just a novel, but now Chen Ming has to face reality. He can't even control the little Chen family now, what can he do to rebel?

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.

Zhu Sheng's words have great truth and significance at any time. What Chen Ming is doing now is actually these three sentences. Under his push, the Chen family began to build a village in the depths of Funiu Mountain, began to build guns and cannons in the deep mountains, and began to hoard food and materials, instead of letting the silver lie dead in their own cellar.

The two-pound cannon in Qingfeng Village flew out 580 meters in full time, beyond Chen Ming's imagination. Although this distance is with the help of the height of Qingfeng Village, how can it be 300 meters if you fire a cannon on flat ground?

The small two-pound cannon has such a range, what else is Chen Ming not satisfied with?

Qingfeng Village, as the last retreat of the Chen family, has now reserved more than 1,000 loads of grain and beans, in addition to the Chen family's team of 40 people, and hundreds of craftsmen and their families, as well as small 100 farmers. These are refugees recruited by the Chen family last winter.

In the 28th year of Qianlong, the Yellow River burst 15 embankments in Henan, slipped to the Jialu River, and 52 prefectures and counties in the province were affected, and Caozhou in Shandong Province was executed, and 5 counties including the whole township were flooded; Anhui floods are severe; Shanxi flooded more than 20 prefectures and counties, the Fen River burst its embankment, and the Danqin water rose.

Although two years have passed, there are still many displaced people. If it weren't for secrecy, the Chen family would be able to recruit ten times more people.

The Chen family was too late to start, the flood has passed for two years, many people have returned to their hometowns, and those who have a skill have already been recruited by people with good intentions. The homeless people that the Chen family got in their hands could only farm in addition to hard work. The biggest task of these 20 or so homeless people in Qingfeng Village is to farm. At the foot of the hill where Qingfeng Village is located, the land on both sides of the river valley is quite fertile, and the area in the village is limited, at most a few vegetables are planted in front of the house and behind the house, and if you want to be self-reliant, you must use the land in the river valley area. Those who are family members of craftsmen and those who want to farm can also apply. As long as you plant it, you can go to the wasteland.

There are about 200 people in the whole Qingfeng village, and the Chen family has brought in some livestock, if the management is good, under the condition that the population does not increase significantly, the food will at least be self-sufficient in two years.

The four villages of the Chen family in Funiu Mountain, except for the special significance of the iron village, there is no such thing as farming, and the other three villages: Qingfeng Village, Hutou Village, and Niutou Village, are all about the same size, and they are all farming. The difference is just a difference in intentions.

Qingfeng Village can not only cast guns, but also hoard a large amount of grain and gunpowder, cloth, medicinal materials, salt, etc., it can be said that this is the final base prepared by the Chen family for themselves. And Hutou Village and Niutou Village are the two shields prepared for the future in case of emergency, these two villages are strong and can carry, and to put it bluntly, it is the first to fight a war. Their mission is the firewall of Qingfeng Village.

There were more than 200 people in each village, and all the rest were peasants, except for the families of 50 people. Two years later, the food here may be self-sufficient, but the Chen family will have to rely on the support of the Chen family for the necessities of life, such as medicinal herbs, cloth, iron tools, and salt. Moreover, the families of Hutou Village and Niutou Village are exchanged every month. They are different from the family members of Qingfeng Village, there are no less than ten children of the Chen family among the forty people in the latter, and these people are not necessarily surnamed Chen, but the whole family is firmly tied to the ship of the Chen family.

Chen Ming's footsteps this time have traveled through four villages and two private mines, and he has been in Xiaonangou for more than half a month, and the glass has finally been poured out, but the transparency still needs to be improved. Time unconsciously passed through May and came to June.

"Young Master, Yue Wenhai has already sealed the Great Seal and is ready. The old man was busy for a while, and finally relaxed. is waiting for the arrival of the new county master. ”

"Yue Wenhai has smoothed out the account book?"

"The master has wasted a lot of effort. The main reason is that Yue Wenhai prepared early, this is a person who can be an official, and he has been prepared early, so he will not panic. Although it took half a month's work to get tired, the books were clear. ”

From late May to early June, Chen Hui's biggest concern was not the untraceable Ruzhou incident, but how to smooth out the county's deficit. As the fattest household leader in the six rooms, Chen Hui must be involved in it, and the three masters above the level of this Yue Wenhai Yue have been busy for half a month.

"Which way is the new county master? Do you have a letter? ”

"The master also inquired about this. I didn't get any faith. ”

"Yue Wenhai doesn't know any news at all?" Chen Ming's cheap dad is very interesting to Yue Wenhai, and he is going to give Cheng Yi 100 taels when Yue Wenhai leaves office.

"The master said that if Yue Wenhai had the ability to know Xin'er earlier, he would not have been a county magistrate in his next office."

Chen Ming was silent for a while, what his father said made sense. Yue Wenhai didn't look majestic when he was sitting in Lushan County, but in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, he was a little shrimp who couldn't get into people's eyes. Before coming to Lushan, Yue Wenhai was a magistrate, and Lushan County sat down for two consecutive magistrates, and now he is still a magistrate for the fourth term, and his background in officialdom can be imagined.

Chen Ming can only ask God to bless him now, the next Lushan County Commander is a person who abides by the rules, otherwise...... It's hard to say. The household is a very sensitive position, especially when the successive successes are handed over, which is more eye-catching than the position of the future finance director. Because of the rules and unspoken rules of the current Manchu court, the account books and deficits of officials when they take over have the meaning of 'sweeping the snow in front of the door'.

In the Qing Dynasty, the contents, procedures, and relevant regulations of the handover and audit of officials leaving office were richer and more detailed than those of previous dynasties. In summary, there are about the following points: All the transfer and audit of financial and economic affairs such as money and grain warehouses are limited to two months, and "the registration of the old official is limited to 20 days, and the new official is limited to 40 days"; "The warehouse grain is more than 50,000 stones, and the money and grain are more than 50,000 taels, and the exhibition is limited to one month; More than 100,000 taels, the extension is limited to two months", and so on. In my textbooks on how to be an official in the Qing Dynasty, I will pay close attention to auditing the account books of my predecessors as the first task that new officials must start as soon as they take office.

After the new official completes the audit of the takeover, he must "make a book" within the prescribed time limit, that is, he or she must issue multiple copies of the certificate that the old official has left office and the transfer is completed and the verification is correct, and after signing and sealing one by one, it must be submitted to the state government at a higher level. The higher-level state government shall, within five days of the receipt of the document, send a person to verify that it is correct, affix a seal, submit it to the channel for further verification, and report it to the chief secretary on the other hand to the governor and governor, and finally send it to the household department for storage. In order to put an end to dereliction of duty and fraud in the process of on-site supervision and review, the current Qianlong Lao'er has added provisions to the provincial authorities: the state and county should explain clearly, and when the commission is taken and sent to the ministry, the name of the supervisor should be sent to the ministry for storage. If a problem is discovered, such as a shortage of money and food, and the supervisor is biased and ordered to receive it, the supervisor must participate in the performance according to the facts.

This kind of thing, every household warden will be deeply involved in it. If the handover between the two sides goes smoothly, that's fine. If the new magistrate has to be more serious, and the bones are picked in the 'eggs', even if he is an old bird like Yue Wenhai, how can he not leak a tail at all? In that case, what will Chen Hui look like in the mind of the new magistrate?
