Luo Jian stayed in ** for a few days.

The largest ironworks in the Ming Dynasty were in the area of Taiping Fu (now Ma'anshan), and although they had to cross the river, the sailors guarding the river were Huang Degong's subordinates.

Accompanied by Huang Degong, Luo Jian and Liu Weimin went to the ironmaking plant for in-depth investigation.

Huang Degong didn't understand why the Metropolitan Governor wanted to come to the ironworks, wasn't this what the officials of the Ministry of Industry should do?

Luo Jian told him that in order to forge a new cannon, the current technology of the ironworks alone would not be enough, and he would have to vigorously transform it.

Huang Degong seems to understand whether he understands or not, but the Metropolitan Governor wants to build cannons, he understands this, and tells the Metropolitan Governor that with the new cannon, he must not forget his Luzhou Army.

The more time Huang Degong spent in contact with Luo Jian, the more he felt that he couldn't see through it, this metropolitan governor looked gentle and elegant, like a literati, Huang Degong couldn't say this, it was his staff who said it.

But Huang Degong felt that the governor of the capital was like a military general in his bones, otherwise he would treat the soldiers as brothers, and the soldiers who died in the war not only had to erect a monument, but also knew that there were family members, and personally brought the delicious canned food to the house, by the way, called condolences.

Some people say that the Metropolitan Governor is buying people's hearts, but Huang Degong feels that the Metropolitan Governor wants to do this from the bottom of his bones, and it has nothing to do with buying people's hearts.

The Metropolitan Governor mentioned to him a few days ago that he wanted to reorganize and train the army, and after thinking about it for a long time, he went to Yangzhou 1st Division and the 2nd Division, which had just been reorganized, for several days.

Needless to say, this division is forbidden by order, the intensity of training, and the enthusiasm of generals at all levels is so high that their own Luzhou army dare not compare.

After Li Chengdong's Xuzhou Army was eliminated by more than 3,000 people, it looked more capable, and Li Chengdong was desperately grasping training with a breath, saying that he wanted to catch up with the first division as soon as possible.

Originally, the military discipline of the Xuzhou army was also notoriously poor, and the superintendent often gave them a headache in Yangzhou, but there was no way.

Now this Xuzhou Army, oh, now called Yangzhou Second Division, is stationed outside the city, but I have never heard of a case of disturbing the people.

If the reorganized troops are like the first division and the second division, Huang Degong feels that his Luzhou army should also accept the reorganization.

However, some subordinates felt that it was not good, thinking that the Metropolitan Governor was dividing his own power, and that they had to talk to them about this, and that only by getting everyone to agree could the reorganization proceed smoothly, and the Metropolitan Governor said the same.

Luo Jian and the others stayed in the ironmaking plant for two days, watched the whole process from mining to smelting, discussed with Liu Weimin for a long time, and finally decided to build the steelmaking plant in Yangzhou.

After all, this Taiping Mansion is south of the Yangtze River, under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, if a factory is built here, it is estimated that it will not be long before all the technology will be learned by the Manchus.

In addition, many factories have been built near Yangzhou, basically Liu Weimin is doing technical guidance, if this steelmaking plant is built here, Liu Weimin will be too hard, and it is too late to run back and forth.

In addition, a lot of technology has to be queried from the computer, and the computer has to stay in the base camp.

Even Shi Kefa and the others thought that Luo Jian and they relied on warrior cars and rifle grenades, but only Luo Jian and the others understood best, and the biggest reliance was on the knowledge stored in the computer.

Taiping Province is on the Yangtze River, relying on shipping, transportation is not a problem.

Manpower is not a problem now, there are so many prisoners, like the more than 2,000 people who have just been captured, they are all the Tianzhu army that followed Kong Youde very early, and all the bad things have been done, what are they used for mining if they are not used for mining?

After returning to **, Luo Jian convened a military and political meeting, and the Qing soldiers retreated, and there was a lot of work to deal with the aftermath.

As soon as the Qing soldiers arrived, they were like locusts crossing the border, and as soon as the Qing soldiers retreated, there were too many ownerless fields left.

All the soldiers eliminated in the Xuzhou army were arranged to engage in military reclamation, and Luo Jian did not adopt the collective farm system in Yangzhou, but adopted the contract system, which in the final analysis was divided into households.

These military reclamation households only need to pay a certain amount of public grain every year, which is much less than the rent that tenants had to pay in the past, and according to the general harvest, it is only 20%.

At this time, the tenants generally paid fifty or sixty percent of the rent, and some black-hearted landlords even received seventy percent, often paying the rent, and the family's rations were not enough.

The public grain to be paid by military reclamation households is fixed according to the number of acres of land, and if there are those who are diligent and willing to work and have a large income, their own life will be better.

Moreover, Luo Jian also called on everyone to engage in more agricultural and sideline production, and these outputs do not need to pay public grain.

Within a few days, the fields outside the city were full of hot scenes, in order to grab the farm, Luo Jian even ordered the two divisions in Yangzhou and the nearby Luzhou army to stop training and work for three days.

Luo Jian's order was carried out by the soldiers, but it made the officials of ** City complain.

Most of the governors themselves took off their shoes and socks and went down to the paddy fields, and a small county official dared not to keep up?

What they can't stand the most is that they have done the three-day work in a down-to-earth manner, not to go out of the city to make a show in the past peaceful years, many officials have finished their three-day work, and they can't even climb up to the concubine's bed.

Luo Jian was busy in **, Shi Kefa couldn't sit still in Yangzhou, and the Qin messengers sent by the imperial court were batch after batch, which made Shi Kefa deal with it in a hurry.

As early as the day after the Qing army retreated, Luo Jian sent someone to inform Shi Kefa quickly.

Hearing the news, Shi Kefa sat alone in the study for a long time, and the staff and subordinates did not dare to disturb him, thinking that the supervisor had encountered some headache again.

Shi Kefa has thought a lot, since he supervised Huaiyang, it can be said that he has been exhausted, and it cannot be said that he has not been dreaming of sleeping at night, but the situation is extremely erosive, and even he almost died with Yangzhou City.

Why did Luo Jian and them quickly turn the situation around, their identities and the divine weapons they carried from the sky played a big role, but Shi Kefa knew very well that these were not all.

Shi Kefa thought carefully about what Luo Jian did after he came, of course, winning the battle could boost the morale of the army and the people, but why these generals in the army could accept him so quickly, which made Shi Kefa very puzzled.

In the past, he also tried his best to appease these strong generals in the army, and even handed over some generals, but they didn't seem to buy it, when Yangzhou was besieged, he ordered all towns to come to the rescue, but except for Liu Zhaoji who brought the Zhongguan battalion, the rest did not have a single soldier.

A general like Li Chengdong has learned Gao Jie's bad mistakes to a good degree, but in the face of Luo Jian, he seems to have changed as a person, and he has not seen how Luo Jian has enveloped him.

Shi Kefa knew that if Luo Jian subdued Huang Degong in **, the power of the Huaiyang Metropolitan Governor was probably unprecedented in Daming.

Shi Kefa was not worried that Luo Jian would become another feudal town, but he heard Luo Jian say that there was no emperor in the future generation where he was, and he listened to him on weekdays, and he had no loyalty to the emperor and the court.

The first emperor had a great kindness to himself, and he promoted himself from a poor scholar to the secretary of the Ming Dynasty, which he could not forget.

Besides, this Ming Dynasty has been in the country for more than 270 years, if it is broken in his own hands, what face will he have to see the first emperor after a hundred years?

After thinking about it, Shi Kefa felt that he was thinking too far, the Qing soldiers in the middle of the road had just retreated, the crisis in the Southern Ming Dynasty had not been completely resolved, the situation was only slightly stable, there was still a lot to do, and there was no time to think about it here.

The people outside Yangzhou City were busy rushing to cultivate and plant, and the fat emperor of Nanjing was not far behind, and sent people to urge Luo Jian and a few people to enter Beijing every day in the past few days, which made Shi Kefa very annoyed.

The imperial court also received the news of Duoduo's withdrawal, and Ma Shiying let out a long sigh of relief when he found out, feeling that his position as the first assistant of the cabinet was temporarily unharmed.

That night, the Ma Ge Department feasted the guests in the house, of course, in the name of his own birthday, so that in addition to the silver for the guests, he could also earn a lot of money.

The troupe at the banquet was brought by Ruan Dacheng.

Ruan Dacheng returned to Nanjing the day after Luo Jian's troops, and he thought that once the Yangzhou army was dispatched, even if he was saved, he would be relieved to return to Nanjing boldly.

The atmosphere in Yangzhou made him a little unbearable, everyone was desperately busy with post-war reconstruction, Shi Kefa didn't pay attention to him, and he couldn't find anyone to talk about poetry and literature.

At the banquet, in addition to paying homage to the Ma Ge Ministry, the most talked about was the Ma Ge Ministry's discernment.

Although a few angels fell from the sky, if there was no exceptional use of the Ma Ge Department, could An have a situation where everyone is happy today? Although the price of this pleasure is a bit large, Ma Gebu has a birthday, so he can't come empty-handed, right?

After Li Zhan ran back to Nanjing, he went to the Ma Ge Department and cried to the Ma Ge Department about his anger at Luo Jian in Yangzhou.

But Ma Gebu didn't seem to care too much about his feelings, just told him to stay away from Luo Jian in the future and not provoke him.

Li Zhan ran to Ruan Dacheng again, and he thought that Ruan Dacheng must have a common language with him.

Luo Jian went to Jiangdu to clean up Zhang Zezhi's affairs, although Ruan Dacheng was secretive, but there were so many followers, how could they have a door on their mouths, Li Zhan knew it clearly after a little inquiry.

He thinks this is an opportunity, although Ma Gebu doesn't buy his own account, but he has a deep friendship with Ruan Shangshu.

Who knew that Li Zhan went to find Ruan Dacheng, and just talked about his dissatisfaction with Luo Jian, but Ruan Dacheng bypassed the topic.

Ruan Dacheng is a person who understands, and he knows that he wants to spend a peaceful life in this Nanjing city, and he doesn't dare to think about it without Luo Jian leading the troops outside.

Some time ago, Ma Gebu privately prepared to secretly flee Nanjing with the emperor, although few people knew about this, but Ruan Dacheng happened to be one of these few people.

This made him wary of the Ma Ge Department, and he didn't take him with him for this sneaking away, is this considered a close friend?

Ruan Dacheng has been in Yangzhou for a long time, and in the contact with Luo Jian, he feels that Luo Jian is not scheming, but he is a good person, if he can continue to have a relationship with him in the future, this backstage is much stronger than Ma Gebu.

When Li Zhan was scolded by Luo Jian that day, Ruan Dacheng was present, of course he knew very clearly.

Although he also thinks that Luo Jian has done a little too much, but you Li Zhan is too eyesighted, right? The Metropolitan Governor said a word to you, you have suffered it, and you dare to argue strongly, and you deserve to be scolded.

Ruan Dacheng knew that Luo Jian did not have a family in Yangzhou, and his daughter was outstanding, although marrying Luo Jian could not be a wife, the wife must be that Liulan girl, but even if she was a concubine, Ruan Dacheng also felt that she would not insult her identity.

Ruan Dacheng felt that he had to hurry up on this matter, and as soon as the governor came to Nanjing, he would find someone to talk to the matchmaker.

Today, Li Zhan ran to say that Luo Jian was not, which made Ruan Dacheng very annoyed, and said in his heart, I can't pull the relationship, you are still mischievous, if this reaches the ears of the Dudu, I can't even say it clearly.

The words were not speculative, and Li Zhanhan had no choice but to leave after a few words.

Li Zhan, who did not find a backer and allies, had to put away his fangs and lie dormant quietly.
