On 20 December, the first batch of recruited sergeants arrived in Jiangning County on time, accompanied by a small number of family members. Jiangning County and Jiangning Camp have long been prepared, the area of the barracks has been doubled, and a lot of temporary shelters have been built not far from the barracks, which are densely distributed all around.

What is surprising is that Wan Chenggui and many businessmen of the Chamber of Commerce have already discussed, and some shops have been opened nearby, and they have already known that there will be a large number of sergeants, as well as the families of sergeants, arriving in Jiangning County, this is the best business opportunity, to expand the scale of business.

After handing over the first batch of 2,500 sergeants to Sun Chuanting, he specially introduced Sun Enming, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing, and Lu Taibo, and told Sun Chuanting about the performance of these four people along the road, as well as related arrangements.

The specific arrangement and training are Sun Chuanting's business.

Back at the county office, he went straight to the backyard.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhu Xianxin walked quickly in front of Su Tiancheng with red eyes, and regardless of whether there were people around, she threw herself into Su Tiancheng's arms.

Su Tiancheng felt that Zhu Xianxin's body was trembling slightly.

After a while, Zhu Xianxin calmed down.

After Su Tiancheng washed up, he came to the wing.

Zhu Xianxin, Chunping, Wang Furong and Liu Rushi were all waiting in the wing, and before Su Tiancheng could speak, Zhu Xianxin spoke first.

"Husband, don't take risks in the future, the concubine can't eat, she can't sleep well, and I'm worried every day."

Su Tiancheng was a little strange.

"What's the matter, I didn't do anything risky."

"Don't say that, husband, the concubine knows that those Tartars are extremely cruel. If the husband meets Lu in the future, don't take risks, if the husband meets Lu and sees something, what should the concubine do. ”

It turned out to be this matter, and it seems that the Jiangning battalion exterminated the Manchurian Eight Banners Army has spread in Jiangning County. Since this is the case, it means that the fame of the Jiangning camp is already very great, no wonder when he went to the barracks just now, Sun Chuanting's eyes were a little different, revealing confidence and pride.

"Hehe, it turns out that this is the case, you are too careful. Tartars are not three-headed and six-armed, there is nothing remarkable, in the future, if they meet the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, they will be annihilated, besides, I didn't go to the battlefield, compared with the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion. I'm too far away to go into battle and kill the enemy. ”

"No, I can't. The husband must agree to the concubine, the concubine knows the way, the husband does not need to go into battle in person, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are so strong, the husband is the supervising army. The main thing is to sit in command, if it is the Jiangning battalion, the husband needs to go into battle in person, and the concubine will definitely not follow. ”

Su Tiancheng nodded helplessly, such a thing. You can't come to the other side, and you can't talk about any big truths, people are your wives, who doesn't worry about their husbands, besides, their own identities are indeed different, if you hold a steel knife and rush to the front to kill the enemy, it's really not very easy to explain.

Seeing Su Tiancheng nodding, Zhu Xianxin finally smiled.

Sun Chengzong also went to Jiangning County.

The residence of Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji is arranged in the county school, and there is a separate courtyard here, specially prepared for the gentleman of the county school, and the conditions are very good.

Su Tiancheng took the officials of the county government to the outside of the city to greet Sun Chengzong.

Not only Su Tiancheng, but also Yin Wang Daozhi of Ying Tianfu Mansion also went to Jiangning County and made a special trip to greet Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong's fame is too great.

Seeing Wang Daozhi and Su Tiancheng and others, Sun Chengzong was very happy, although he had gone through all the way, his spirit was still very good, and he spoke loudly, hiding his tiredness.

The county government is in the Sihai Restaurant, specially arranged a banquet, Su Tiancheng meant, is it not to ask Sun Enming and Sun Enzong to also participate, Sun Chengzong immediately said no, the two arrived at the Jiangning camp, that is, the sergeant of the Jiangning camp, everything must be done in accordance with the rules of the barracks, along the way, many rules and regulations of the Jiangning camp, he has basically understood, admired, but also made up his mind, after settling down, send more children and grandchildren, into the Jiangning camp.

Wang Daozhi also attended the banquet.

In front of Sun Chengzong, he is also a junior, when Sun Chengzong served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, he was still the head of the Ministry of War, speaking of which, Sun Chengzong was his old superior.

When drinking, Wang Daozhi specifically asked Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji's residence whether it had been arranged, if the conditions were not good, Ying Tianfu would find a way to arrange a better place to live, and whether the arrangements for life were in place.

In fact, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji's family members have already stayed, and after returning to the county office, Su Tiancheng specifically asked Lu Tianming and Liu Yunqing whether all the arrangements were in place, and the answer was yes.

Nominally, it is to eat, but in fact, everyone is concerned about matters related to the establishment of Zhongxing Society.

The emperor has already issued an order to the Sixth Department of Nanjing and Ying Tianfu, asking for full support for the Zhongxing Society, and the three persons in charge of the Society, Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou, are all well-known figures, and there should be no problem for them to set up the school.

Therefore, in the process of eating, Wang Daozhi was very concerned about the affairs of the Zhongxing Society, and it was also this matter that he talked about the most.

Wang Daozhi's understanding, there is also a process of change, Su Tiancheng and Donglin Academy, Fushe disputes, he is clear, some aspects, he is also difficult to understand for a while, however, the great changes in Jiangning County, living facts, made him realize that such a practice is definitely feasible, if the Zhongxing Society is established, the first to be affected is Ying Tianfu, the counties under the jurisdiction of Ying Tianfu, can be like Jiangning County, huge changes, that is a huge political achievement.

Liu Yunqing reported in great detail the preparations of the Zhongxing Society, the location of the Society, that is, in the county school, which is a very large place, there are not many students on weekdays, Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou's residences are all arranged here, and the houses have been specially vacated as a place for usual meetings and gatherings.

The county government is responsible for all the funds of the Zhongxing Society, and the plan is to take out 200,000 taels of silver every year, of which Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou, the three responsible persons, have a preliminary plan of 10,000 taels of silver per person per year.

Zhongxing Society recruits 30 people, responsible for the management of all specific things in daily life, if you want to enter Zhongxing Society, at least the identity of more than one person, of course, especially outstanding students, it is also possible.

After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, before everyone spoke, Sun Chengzong spoke first, what he meant, 10,000 taels a year is too much, it can't be like this, his own Yulu is distributed according to the level of county officials, it's okay.

Unexpectedly, Wang Dao opened his mouth with a smile on his face, saying that the county government had such a good arrangement, and he specially explained that the officials of the county government in Jiangning County have a subsidy of five hundred taels of silver every year, and the rest of them are officials, and the sum of the regular silver is several thousand taels of silver, so the salary of Lord Sun is not high.

Wang Daozhi's words made Sun Chengzong stunned, he couldn't believe that Jiangning County was so rich.

With such an income, I am afraid that the Fuzhou counties of the Ming Dynasty are beyond the reach of the dust.

Su Tiancheng then spoke, saying that all this has been determined a long time ago, the daily affairs of the Zhongxing Society, Liu Yunqing is responsible, Liu Yunqing's responsibilities are very heavy, on the one hand, he must take care of the daily life of Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou, and often ask questions, on the other hand, he must worry about the normal operation of the Society, and more importantly, he must promote the views of the Zhongxing Society, so that the Society can operate normally and exert the greatest influence.

When he said this, Liu Yunqing stood up, saluted Sun Chengzong, and admitted frankly that he used to be one of the four sons of Donglin in Nanjing City, but he didn't agree with some of the views of Donglin Academy, so he broke away from Donglin Academy and went to the side of Master Su, and he wanted Lord Sun to learn more in the future.

Sun Chengzong and Wang Daozhi both showed meaningful smiles on their faces.

They all knew that Su Tian had become such an arrangement, Liu Yunqing's attitude was the biggest blow to Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, and after the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, the first task was to divide and disintegrate the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society.

In the middle of the imperial court, there are some ministers who support Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, and some are even from the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, so from this point of view, the task of the Zhongxing Academy is still not ordinary.

But the favorable conditions are also clear, the influence of Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Dao Zhou is extraordinary, coupled with the appropriate operation, the guarantee of sufficient funds, once the Zhongxing Society is established, there must be most of the scholars, gentry and wealthy families to join, moreover, the Zhongxing Society, with an official flavor, has outstanding performance in it, and can even directly enter the imperial court and become a court official.

Fan Jingwen suddenly came to the Four Seas Restaurant, which caught Su Tiancheng off guard.

What Su Tiancheng is even more unclear about is that the relationship between Fan Jingwen and Sun Chengzong is very good, when the two were officials in the same dynasty, they both appreciated each other, and Sun Chengzong once strongly recommended Fan Jingwen.

Of course, Fan Jingwen knew what Sun Chengzong was doing in Nanjing.

After some greetings and a few glasses of wine, Fan Jingwen proposed that Nanjing's household department would give Zhongxing Society 50,000 taels of silver every year, which could be regarded as a contribution.

As soon as Fan Jingwen finished speaking, Wang Daozhi also spoke, saying that it was for the Zhongxing Society to solve the fund of 10,000 taels of silver.

Sun Chengzong's happy mouth couldn't close, and he suddenly had an extra 60,000 taels of silver, which could also save some money for Jiangning County, after all, Jiangning Camp needed a lot of silver.

Su Tiancheng was happy at the same time, but also a little surprised, he didn't expect Fan Jingwen to come to the Four Seas Restaurant, and indicated that there was a deep meaning in solving the funds, what is the specific reason, it will not take long, you can know the way.

However, this is always a good thing, and it indicates that the Zhongxing Society will be able to prosper soon. (To be continued.) )
