Xia Mengqi also recruited a lot of construction workers in Yangzhou, and the 1,000 acres of land purchased by Yang Tingjian have become a large construction site, and countless workers are busy. In the month that Yang Tingjian left, many houses have been repaired halfway, and Xia Mengqi is really an excellent CEO.

Yang Tingjian still found Xia Mengqi on the construction site, this girl has fully adapted to the social environment of the Ming Dynasty, but she is still a woman dressed as a man, and there are at least more than 50 people around Xia Mengqi, including middle-aged scholars, young people, and several women with knives, most of these women are bodyguards found by Xia Mengqi.

"Mengqi, I'm back."

"Brother Tingjian, are you done with the shipyard?"

"It's basically okay...... Tell me what you've been doing this month, so I can be pleasantly surprised. ”

Xia Mengqi naturally grabbed Yang Tingjian's arm, and those who followed Xia Mengqi immediately retreated to the side, knowing that this was Yang Tingjian, the prefect of Yangzhou, and they didn't dare to come to pay their respects. It's not that Xia Mengqi is so strict with them, there is no such thing at all, but that Xia Mengqi gives them a particularly high salary, with an annual salary of sixty taels of silver, which is equivalent to a magistrate's salary.

Xia Mengqi must be recruiting some talents from the Ming Dynasty, such as an excellent bookkeeper, an experienced shopkeeper, a manager who is good at management, an honest and selfless supervisor, etc., Xia Mengqi has recruited a lot of talents, and only a small part is behind him.

Yang Tingjian brought more than 20 million taels of silver and more than 1 million taels of gold from the north, as well as countless jewels and jades, and these heavenly wealth were handed over to Xia Mengqi by Yang Tingjian. Why did Yang Tingjian hand it over to Xia Mengqi so reassuringly! Xia Mengqi is his wife, not the most important, but Xia Mengqi has no relatives in the Ming Dynasty, and she can't take away these wealth at all.

"Brother Tingjian, I've been very busy this month, first recruiting all kinds of talents. Then it's about setting up your men, and then it's about planning the factories you're going to set up.

The first is a textile factory, which is just right for the textile machine you bought, and the second is a pharmaceutical factory, where Chinese medicine preparations are easy to do. But Western medicine is difficult to do now, the third is the cement factory, the fourth is the glass factory, of course your military factory can't be left behind, in addition, I also plan to open a bank, we have so much silver, put it in the warehouse, it's a pity, you can use it to make money.

"Ah!! ……”

Yang Tingjian listened to Xia Mengqi's words. I was really stunned, it had been almost a year since I came to Daming, and I barely managed to build a steel factory, and as soon as Xia Mengqi made a move, there were so many factories, Yang Tingjian sighed to himself.

"Mengqi! Can you manage such a factory? ”

"Establish a group company! I've recruited all kinds of talents, and I'm just waiting for you to make a decision. ”

Xia Mengqi directly brought the modern society group company to the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, I'll do what you want, and I'll announce it in public when we have a meeting tomorrow. You are the president of Zhenhua Group. ”

It seems that Yang Tingjian is really right to take Xia Mengqi to cross, with Xia Mengqi as a senior assistant. Yang Tingjian didn't know how much easier it was.

The next day, Yang Tingjian really convened a meeting of the senior generals of the Tiger Ben Army, at which Prime Minister Yang Tingjian commended the list of meritorious service awards last time, and at the same time promoted some very outstanding officers and dismissed some people who did nothing.

This is not Yang Tingjian's eccentric eyes. The battlefield command ability of those who have studied in military schools is really much better than those who have not gone to military schools, and of course there are one or two who have not been successful, and they will also be dismissed.

Appreciating and compensating the silver, Yang Tingjian did not hesitate to sprinkle it. Loyalty comes from faith, and at the same time also comes from material life, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army also have wives and children, and they also need to live, Yang Tingjian has always been generous and generous in this regard, such as this appreciation and pension, Yang Tingjian spent more than three million taels of silver.

Up to now, for this reason, the Tiger Ben Army has been completely in the hands of Yang Tingjian, and the middle and senior officers are almost all military academy graduates brought out by Yang Tingjian, plus the incomparable preferential treatment.

The most important thing is that Yang Tingjian can lead them to win the battle, the army, that is, the monster that needs to be constantly fed with victory, the army that has continuously defeated the battle, is vulnerable, and the army of the Ming Dynasty is almost like this.

The establishment of Zhenhua Group Company, Yang Tingjian also announced at the meeting, Xia Mengqi was also introduced to everyone by Yang Tingjian, and the generals of the Tiger Ben Army had no objection to this appointment.

Because Yang Tingjian's two wives have important things to do, such as gold inlaid jade, holding the Intelligence Department in their hands, and Hu Benjun doesn't know. Besides, the Tiger Ben Army was originally Yang Tingjian's private army, and the money for raising the army was completely Yang Tingjian's own money, and these factories were also Yang Tingjian's private property, and these generals understood it very well.

Of course, Yang Tingjian's help to Chongzhen raise the army could only appear at the end of the dynasty, and the imperial court had reached the point of exhaustion, and it was impossible to suppress the emergence of these forces.

In the next period of time, Yang Tingjian disappeared from the yamen of Yangzhou prefect, where did he go? Yang Tingjian recruited the red lady to Yangzhou and went to the beach to plan the reclamation.

The Yellow River seizes the Huai into the sea, and builds more than 30,000 acres of land in the Jianghuai area every year, and the Yellow River takes away a large amount of sand because it flows through the Loess Plateau, thus forming a large amount of alluvial saline-alkali sandy land. From 1194 to 1632, the Yellow River has been continuously reclaimed for more than 400 years, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it has given the Jianghuai region more than 15 million acres of saline-alkali sandy land.

During the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the attack of the sea tide, the Fangong embankment was built in the Jianghuai area, and now the saline-alkali sand land in the Jianghuai area has extended to the sea for about 50 kilometers.

Of course, not all saline-alkali land can be reclaimed, and the saline-alkali land ten kilometers away from the sea needs to be developed and utilized after building a breakwater, but it can be used for reclamation and utilization of almost four-fifths, which is also more than 10 million acres!

Yang Tingjian is a seed purchased from modern times, for example, the yield per mu of Haisheng rice is 800 catties, there is no chemical fertilizer in the Ming Dynasty, there are no pesticides, even if half of it is good, the yield per mu is almost two stones, Jianghuai can be planted for two seasons, and the annual yield of one mu of land is 800 catties, which is counted as four stones!

As long as Yang Tingjian develops this saline-alkali land in Jianghuai, more than 10 million mu of land can harvest 4 billion kilograms of grain, enough for more than 10 million people to eat for a year.

Of course, Yang Tingjian can't use all the saline-alkali land to grow marine rice, Yang Tingjian's industrial revolution needs a large amount of cotton and silk, hundreds of integrated textile machines are the tigers that eat cotton and silk, there are no millions of acres of cotton and mulberry production area, don't want to let it run at full capacity.

The industrial revolution began with the textile industry, Chinese silk, porcelain, tea, that is the emperor's daughter does not worry about marrying, as long as Yang Tingjian made it, there are people vying to buy it, there is no need for Yang Tingjian to drive a warship with a cannon to open other people's country.
