Chapter 0288 - Insufficient Soldiers Are Crazy

Broken bones are reconnected, only Hua Tuo dares to treat them like this.

Hua Tuo's newly prepared medicine was even more magical, and Hu Luguang's half-healed leg was discounted again, and there was no pain. He only felt something hit his leg, if it wasn't for Liu Mang and others to remind him, he wouldn't even know that his leg was broken again!

Several people carried Hu Luguang back to the couch, Hua Tuo skillfully put the injured leg bones back in place, straightened out, took out the external ointment that had already been prepared, applied it to the wound, wrapped the cloth strips, and fixed the bamboo board to prevent dislocation.

Hua Tuo's appearance is a little sloppy, but he is very clean and neat. Even the wrapped strips of cloth and bound bamboo boards are made as beautiful as works of art.

Professional!

Hua Tuo made the final arrangements, twisted a thread, straightened up, and looked at his "work" with satisfaction.

"That's it! After lying still for a month, you can go down to the ground and move lightly. Two months later, he recovered. ”

"You won't be disabled this time, will you?" This is what Liu Mang is most worried about. However, after Liu Mang finished speaking, when he saw Hua Tuo's strange expression, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. How can one question the master? "Hey, hey, eat and drink! I'll invite two miracle doctors to drink! ”

……

Hua Tuo said that it was okay, then it must be fine.

Liu Mang finally went to heart disease and could handle official business with peace of mind.

Liu Mang faced a lot of things, but his subordinates performed their duties, and Shangguan Wan'er, a super secretary, although he had many official duties, he was orderly.

Letter from Yanmen. Li Hongzhang took over the government affairs and mining affairs of Yanmen, and everything went smoothly. Yuci Wen has sent people to Yanmen. Wen coveted the huge profits of the iron mine, but Li Hongzhang adhered to his principles, and the iron mine would never let the family intervene again.

Wen had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, hoping to cooperate with the government to develop graphite mines.

Wen's ability to create such a big family business is all due to the unique vision of the previous family owners. In this era, coal was not widely used, and most families did not see the value of jet-black coal and were reluctant to invest in coal mines. However, Wen had already smelled the "money" of "Ugin", and since he could not get involved in iron mines, he was ready to invest in coal mines first.

Cooperative investment mainly lies in the investment ratio and profit distribution method, and Wen's preemptive investment is nothing more than hoping to exchange the least investment for the largest equity.

Although Li Hongzhang was appointed to supervise the mining industry, he did not dare to make decisions on some major decisions, so he wrote to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang asked Wan'er to reply to Li Hongzhang, emphasizing a few points. Wen's investment in coal mines can follow Qiao's example in investing in iron mines, and in terms of investment ratio, the government's absolute control over coal mines must be guaranteed. For the sake of fairness, Wen can be put in charge of the accounts.

People in this era don't understand the importance of coal, and to be honest, Liu Mang doesn't understand it very well. But in the previous life, Shanxi's coal boss was rich enough to rival the country, which illustrates the importance of coal.

Wen's request for exclusive cooperation, Liu Mang agreed. Liu Mang also hid his heart and asked Li Hongzhang to write that it was this coal mine, not the entire coal mining industry, that had an exclusive cooperation with Wen's. There are many coal mines in Shanxi, and if other coal mines are developed in the future, it may not be.

Unlike Qiao Zhiyong, Wen pays more attention to interests. It's understandable to do business for profit. In his reply, Liu Mang told Li Hongzhang that if necessary, he could make concessions on profit distribution. But the premise is to strive for Wen's to invest in advance and make a one-time investment.

Negotiations always have to compromise with each other, and Liu Mang is also helpless. At present, the finances of the two counties of Yanmen and Taiyuan are stretched thin, so they can only make appropriate concessions in profits to ease the financial situation.

……

In Yuci, Wen's initiative to show favor soon affected other families in Taiyuan.

Some small and medium-sized families, without Wen's vision, do not dare to participate in the investment in huge coal mines, they pay more attention to the government, horses and herdsmen.

The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in formulating the policy of official horses and herdsmen, and the basic principle was that the family invested in the purchase of fine ** and foals, and was exempted from the corresponding forced labor. Recruiting Saiwaihu people and local farmers to raise horses was also exempted from forced labor.

Excellent **, raised by the government. The government provided pasture for horse breeders and provided the necessary military protection. After the horses were raised, they were purchased by the government. The income from horse breeding is distributed in a certain proportion between the horse breeder and the family that subscribes to the horse.

In this way, the government could obtain military horses at a lower cost, and families and horse breeders could not only be exempted from forced labor, but also reap the benefits.

As soon as the policy of officialdom and pastoral husbandry was introduced, many small and medium-sized families took the initiative to contact the government to invest in subscribing to ** and foals.

In just a few days, the Jinyang County Government raised a large amount of funds, and the first batch of funds for the purchase of ** and foals were implemented.

……

Selecting and promoting talents is a long-term task, which requires deployment and publicity at all levels, and there is no urgency.

Liu Mang is more concerned about recruitment.

Although the propaganda is in place, the population of Bingzhou is too small, and after so many days, less than 100 people have come to enlist in the army.

Coupled with the newly recruited Jizhou soldiers in Yangqu, the total number of troops is still more than 100,000 people.

Although Liu Mang is a Zhonglang general and a marquis of Guan Nei appointed by the imperial court, the damn system does not recognize it! You can only wait for 10,000 soldiers and horses to gather enough to obtain the position of Zhonglang General, and only then can you be promoted to the title stipulated by the system, improve the five circles, and get the opportunity to summon.

Now that he has a lot of talents, the summoning opportunity is not as attractive to Liu Mang as it used to be. However, it's like playing a game, even if the game is boring, but when it comes to the tipping point of leveling up, there will always be an urge to play and level up.

Liu Mang's mind is exactly like this.

He even used his crooked brains to find someone to impostor, first make up the number of 10,000 people, and then put the impostor back after being upgraded.

But he didn't.

This is too child's play, and you may be able to deceive the system, but you can't explain it to your subordinates. I can't tell the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Yan and others,

It's just fun. Liu Mang is now the general of Hou Zhonglang in Guannei, the Taishou who leads the two counties, and he is a person with status. For people with status, what should be pretended is still to be pretended......

……

Looking at the recruitment information compiled by Wan'er, Liu Mang was a little worried, Su Wei came to report, and Mulan asked to see him.

Now that there are many generals under his command, there is no need for Mulan to lead troops to fight. She is now a military general with a tooth gate, and she is also a lieutenant of Jinyang, responsible for managing the security of Jinyang City.

Hua Mulan came in a hurry, said hello to Wan'er, and went straight into Liu Mang's room.

"Brother Taishou, I'm not going to be a Jinyang lieutenant!"

"Why?"

"Nothing to do, boring!"

Jinyang City is the seat of Taiyuan County and the seat of the state government. There are many garrisons, and law and order is very good. Hua Mulan's name is Jin Yang Wei, which is actually an idle job.

"I don't want to be an official in the city, I want to lead the soldiers." Hua Mulan pouted, but she also knew that the generals who were leading the troops now were all talented generals, and it was indeed not her turn to lead the troops as a woman.

Liu Mang smiled and beckoned Wan'er to pour water for Mulan, pondering how to reply to Mulan.

Hua Mulan said quickly, and said: "I don't ask for more troops, and I don't have too few hundred, even if I am a chief, I have to go into battle anyway." ”

"I agree, but the party may not agree." Liu Mang smiled and persuaded Mulan.

"I don't care, if you don't let me bring male soldiers, then I'll bring female soldiers!"

"But, we don't have many female soldiers."

"If there are no female soldiers, then recruit female soldiers!"

Hua Mulan sacrificed the Dafa of shaking her arm again, grabbing Liu Mang's arm and shaking it all the way.

Liu Mang grinned uncomfortably, Shangguan Wan'er was on the side, distressed, and couldn't help but laugh.

Helpless, Liu Mang had no choice but to agree and let Mulan go to Li Yan. Anyway, she can't recruit a few female soldiers, so she will send them away first.

As soon as Mulan walked on her front foot, the bronze mirror suddenly vibrate.

Scratched it out, and a military promotion prompt popped up!
