Chapter 142: Opening a Source of Wealth
For example, at the general county level, there can only be dozens of archers at most, and there are restrictions on the number of people, it turns out that Rongde County has fifty step archers, at this time Li Xiang wanted to hurry up and make the strength at hand bigger, and he didn't stop at the moment, and took the four newly recruited Zhao people to go straight to the infantry archer camp built in the southwest corner of Rongde County.

The infantry archer battalion is a house one by one, with a large courtyard in the middle, a high mountain towering next to it, and a river flowing through it, which is suitable for all kinds of training, but unfortunately, when Li Xiang came with his four masters, he found that the infantry archer battalion did not even have a gatekeeper, and he could drive directly in.
Entering the infantry archer battalion, but seeing that there were some idlers sleeping inside, there were some people standing scattered inside, and no one was training, Li Maocai, who followed, said: "It is estimated that it is because the county lieutenant was hacked to death some time ago, and the archer battalion was originally in charge of the county lieutenant, and no one was in charge, so no one was training." ”
In fact, it is the county lieutenant, and there is no one to train, the foot archers belong to the box soldiers, and they are the weakest troops in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Li Xiang also knew that in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the military and government were corrupt, the officials were bad, and the officials were greedy. In response to the Mongol Empire's attack, the basic policy of the Southern Song Dynasty rulers was to endure humiliation, compromise and peace, and reuse the main peace faction and reject the main war faction.
The same is true in Sichuan, where the bureaucrats are like the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, who only seek to steal peace and pleasure, regardless of the suffering of the people. Even if there were a group of anti-Japanese generals such as Cao Youwen, Ding Huang, Chen Longzhi, Wang Jian, Zhang Jue, etc., under the guidance of the basic policies of the Southern Song Dynasty rulers, they could not stretch their will and do what they wanted; Either he was alone and died on the battlefield, or he was slandered and framed, or he was reconciled or died.
In Sichuan, the Southern Song Dynasty had both a small number of officers and troops, and their combat effectiveness was also very weak. Under these circumstances, the main force supporting the long-term struggle against the Mongol Empire was the broad masses of the people and the anti-war forces in Sichuan. It's no wonder that the county army is like this.
Li Xiang looked around, and finally let out a sneer: "Very good." ”
The magistrate was furious, and a servant shouted: "The newly appointed magistrate is here." ”
The sound came out, and these foot archers immediately gathered, but they had not trained for too long, and they all gave people a lazy feeling when they stood one by one, and they were too far from the elite soldiers. These foot archers were worried, for fear that the magistrate would be angry and tell everyone to go home, and there would be no more imperial food to eat.
"Zhao Yi, I didn't assign you a task either, I will assign it to you now, and you will be the leader of the foot archers, but the premise is that a capable soldier will be trained for the county within a month, and you don't want such a waste." Waste refers to the person in front of him, of course.
Zhao Yi got the order, his eyes flashed, and he immediately received the order: "But my lord, if there are some people who are too useless, can they just retreat." ”
"Of course." Li Xiang said: "It's too useless, all of them are retreated, and the infantry archer battalion doesn't need waste." ”
Because Li Xiang was still thinking about turning this archer battalion into a musket battalion after the capital was set up, those useless people naturally couldn't stay, he wanted an army that was absolutely obedient to him.
After handing over the matter here to Zhao Yi, Li Xiang returned to the county office, so in only three days, he heard that Zhao Yi had retreated more than twenty people from the infantry archer battalion, leaving only half of them, but immediately recruited more than twenty more, and collected fifty of them.
This time, the soldiers were not as lazy as they were at the beginning, and Zhao Yiming, the leader of the foot archers, said that all the useless foot archers were rolled out.
Li Xiang ordered Yin Shi, and all kinds of training began in full swing. Of course, the capital also needs to be rebuilt, which has also been abandoned for a long time!
However, it all takes a lot of money! Therefore, to start an industry, we must also start planning. It's just that the start-up funds, in addition to the gifts given by the officials and squires, and their own pockets, also need to open up a wide range of financial channels.
Now, basically, now Li Xiang has completed the absolute control of the officials and foot archers.
On this day, Li Xiang was escorted by Zhao Er and Zhao Siguan, and went straight to the county yamen, "Ercheng Erlu, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive" This is erected in front of the lobby between the roads, it is said that this is the founding emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin selected, each yamen has, the intention is to warn officials.
It's just that Li Xiang sneered, the people can be bullied, and the officials are powerful, which is the case in any dynasty and generation, as long as the people are not forced to have no way to live and rebel, they can basically act arbitrarily.
There is a flat forehead above the seat where the magistrate sits, and there are four big characters written on it, "Mirror hanging", Li Xiang sits under it, and sees that his subordinates are headed by Zhao Yi, and the eighteen officials below are standing straight, all holding water and fire sticks in their hands.
Li Xiang sat in the lobby and told Li Maocai to check the silver in the treasury. Let's talk about training the army and expanding the army, and running all the yards to build weapons, Li Xiang found that he urgently needs important things now, money! In these years, it is easy to have the right to have money, but now Li Xiangquan has it, but the money is not much, and now Li Xiangzhi went back to the county government and instructed Li Maocai to check the accounts.
After this audit, Li Xiang wanted to kill Huang Shiren, the former magistrate of the county, this Huang Shiren was too ruthless, and he actually searched the silver in the treasury, so that Li Xiang basically had no money to use.
It's just that this is enough to be tight, these landlords and outsiders only have dozens of runs, and finally they got together a few hundred times into Li Xiang's hands, according to Li Maocai, when it comes to donating money, these landlords and outsiders have this expression: "My lord, we really don't have any money, there was a flood the year before last, and there was a drought this year, where is there any money." ”
"These dozens of times are all pulled out of the teeth."
Very good, taken out between the teeth, this group of landlords and outsiders really don't say it ordinarily, Li Xiang sneered in his heart, this group of guys, sometimes they are jealous in the hook bar, in order to compete for the top card, they spend a lot of money, and throw out dozens of dollars, or even hundreds of dollars, and now they are crying poor.
Li Xiang naturally understands that when he takes office as a new official, this group of outsiders and landlords are not afraid of themselves at all, and Li Xiang naturally knows that since they are not afraid of themselves, they can only go to the whole few to open the knife, otherwise it will be really soft.
Killing chickens to set an example to monkeys is just killing which chicken to set an example to this group of outsiders and landlords.
It didn't take long for Li Xiang to suddenly think of the hook column, Li Xiang's eyes couldn't help but light up, since it is a hook column, then he can't go to sweep pornography, sweeping pornography is the most silver, prostitutes, prostitutes have no silver, just think about it, on the other hand, Goulan was open in the Song Dynasty, and it was an industry recognized by the government, and it was not easy to say that the elimination of pornography and illegal activities would be eliminated.
It seems that the hook bar only moved later, and then I thought of the casino, no matter what era, the casino is basically illegal, in this case, copy the casino, and the casino's money will definitely not be less than the hook bar, and it is clear that it is more.
Moreover, raiding the casino can also broadcast live to fans in the live broadcast room, which must be very eye-catching! (To be continued.) )
