Chapter 188: Ma Shui Kou Guards, Opportunity to Make a Fortune
In the middle of February of the tenth year of Fanzhen, it was the time when spring farming was busy, and Shunxiangbao Wood Coffee was lively, and many craftsmen were busy and focused on the work in their hands. Wang Dou didn't believe it, the bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers could still shoot through this thick wooden shield?
"The original position is in the car camp, the original use of a heavy car weighing more than 600 pounds, the car needs two mules to pull, can be equipped with two Lang machine two. It's just that the car is too heavy, it needs to use more people and horses, it is not suitable for danger, it is not suitable for wartime attacks, and it is now used less, and more light cars weighing 300 pounds are used. ”
In the Shunxiangbao Wood Factory, Zhao Wei accompanied Wang Dou to inspect everywhere, and introduced Wang Dou endlessly.
Wang Dou nodded sometimes, while looking at the hot work scene in front of him.
The craftsmen of the carpentry factory are all concentrating on making all parts of the vehicle, the wheels, and the piping. Columns, square lugs, wheels, nets and other parts. There are also craftsmen who specialize in manufacturing licenses, and then assemble them into cars and pass the inspection.
Each craftsman needs to engrave his own name, a certain year, a certain season, the name of the inspector, etc., so that if there is a problem with the vehicle, you can find the relevant responsible person in charge. The quality problem is difficult to exist in Wang Dou's craftsman workshop.
In the various craftsman workshops in Shunxiang Fort, the monthly ration of the craftsman is actually not much, as long as the craftsman comes to work, there is food for them to eat, and then give a few buckets of monthly ration every month, so that they can support their families. The big head is the reward at the end of the year, do a good job, do a lot, and the statistics show that there will be more rewards at the end of the year, and it will be cleared once before the New Year.
A skilled craftsman, in addition to the monthly rations. Sometimes you can get a bonus of one tael of silver a month, but twelve taels a year, and craftsmen like Li Maosen get even more.
A few years down. The craftsmen of Shunbao and the sergeants of Shunbao have become a group of people who have become rich first, and in the New Year of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, basically every craftsman in Shunxiangbao has sewed new clothes for their families. And bought a large number of New Year's goods, happy and happy New Year.
And Shunxiang Fort has many reward mechanisms, last year Lai Yuanlong and Li Maosen developed a fire door device, and obtained a steady stream of technical dividends, under such encouragement, craftsmen have contributed their private collection of technology. Before the New Year, a craftsman in Shunbao solved the problem of adjusting the hydraulic drilling machine and also received a reward. In fact, his idea was very simple, that is, to build a dam on the river, and when there was a stable flow of water, the problem of regulating the hydraulic drilling machine would be solved.
Zhao said: "My lord, there are 3,000 people in the car battalion, a total of 256 chariots, divided into battalions, departments, divisions, bureaus, joints, and six chariots, each battalion is led by a battalion general, which consists of two thousand generals and one member of the Chinese army, and one commander of each of the left and right thousand generals, and each department is equipped with 64 chariots. There are four divisions under each department of the left and right thousand headquarters, each of which is led by the president 16 chariots. Each division is divided into four rounds, each of which is led by the Hundred Presidents, and has four chariots. Every two combat vehicles are called the United Nations, and the Chinese army is responsible for commanding the other vehicles. ”
Zhao said: "The car camp where the humble post is located, each car is called a team, and there is a unified door of the Franc machine inside, and there are twelve sergeants. There is one person in the car and six people in charge. There are two Franc commanders, two rocketeers, and one fireman. ”
"When an enemy is encountered in the wilderness, they form a square camp of fifty-four chariots on each side, and a number of antlers are added between the two chariots to repel the horses, so that not only the infantry army, but also the cavalry army, can also live in the chariot camp."
Wang Dou pondered for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty's chariot battalion made a bow
The outside is wide and good, and the household can use it, and it is not begging for its own external environment. Think about it, even if you want to improve, let's talk about it later.
Seeing that he was bitter, the garrison lord still refused, and Zhao Hao became more and more distressed, but Wang Dou still accepted several of his proposals, such as setting up a Yuan Rong car and a lookout pole car.
The Yuan Rong car is the command vehicle of the general of the car battalion, and the car system is similar to that of the light car, and there are protective facilities in front of the car. There is also a general platform on the body, which can facilitate the battalion general to command from a high position. Fighting in the field, this vehicle is of course very important.
There is also a pole car, it is a vehicle used by the car battalion during the weekday camp exercise, one will be used when going out to fight, the pole is more than ten meters high, there is a bucket on it, the sergeant stands on the bucket and looks out, you can see the movement within a few miles of the surroundings, it is the best to look at the enemy's situation.
In February of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it was the bright spring season, and at the gate of the garrison mansion in Baoanzhou City, Wang Dou warmly greeted the visiting Mashuikou garrison Chu Qinmeng and his party.
Wang Douji is the garrison officer of Baoan Prefecture City, and his original integrity mansion is naturally upgraded to a garrison mansion, which is the official uniform on Wang Dou's body, and it has also been replaced by the red command official uniform of the third grade, and the patch has the ornament of a tiger and a leopard, and there is also a gold and silver waist card worn by the red silk ribbon on his waist.
Wang Dou looked at other people's shyness, but in fact, his mind was quite eager, and he was even more happy in his heart, so he warmly welcomed Chu Qinmeng into the banquet, and the two drank together. Wang Dou inquired that Chu Qinmeng liked to eat dog meat hot pot, and even killed a fat dog to entertain him.
Sure enough, Chu Qinmeng was overjoyed, and when he ate dog meat snacks until it was hot, he took off his coat.
Chu Qinmeng was eating, and at the same time complained to Wang Dou, his Mashuikou officers and soldiers had no land to plant. They all had salaries and silver cents, but as soon as the food and salaries of more than 1,000 people were brought out, the first officials took away more than half of them, and they did not receive much in their hands.
In addition, there is no pay for most of the year. The officers and men above and below Ma Shui Kou are very hard. Even he, a garrison officer, can't eat meat a few times a year, but he can eat meat every day for Wang Dou. Chu Qinmeng expressed great envy.
Listening to Chu Qinmeng's complaints, Wang Dou just smiled slightly.
Later, Chu Qinmeng thanked Wang Dou for helping his uncle-in-law, and Wang Dou smiled and said, "I work with Li Zhizhou's colleagues. Lord Li is in trouble, how can Wang stand by and watch? It's not worth mentioning. ”
He looked at Chu Qinmeng and said: "Brother Chu, in fact, your Mashuikou is not bad, the main road between Traffic Security Prefecture and Yizhou, if it is managed properly, it is not difficult for Brother Ma Shuikou to want to be rich." ”
Chu Qinmeng sighed: "Right now, this army is in chaos. The merchant Jia Ji has greatly reduced, that is, he has taken some tax silver, and after a year, there is not much. Besides, among the businessmen who are walking outside now, which family is not the son and nephew of a wealthy official with a background? How dare the brothers take their tax money? ”
He looked at Wang Dou expectantly: "Listening to Brother Wang's words, it seems that there is a way, if you say it, let my brother and I be stained."
Wang Dou inquired about Wang Dou about some things, and knew that Wang Dou relied on local military households, as far as he knew, the military households in all parts of the Ming Dynasty were very hard, even worse than their paid officers and soldiers, and the reason why Wang Dou succeeded was because of the vigorous reclamation of the wasteland. Pumping and discarding water trucks, etc. However, Chu Qinmeng didn't know where those Wang Dou start-up funds came from, so he guessed that Wang Dou had no other way to make money.
Chu Qin Meng Siwen's shy image collapsed in Wang Dou's mind, it seems that this person is also a person with good wealth, so it's good.
He smiled and said, "Brother has to do some business."
He pondered for a moment and said: "Brother plans to take the road from Baozhou to Baoding Mansion, if Brother Chu is interested, you can join, brother, I can't avoid the benefits of Brother Chu." ”
He held out a finger.
Chu Qin Meng Yixi. Said: "One hundred taels of silver? ”
Wang Dou smiled and said, "One thousand taels a year." ”
Chu Qinmeng hurriedly said: "Okay, don't lie to me when I join Brother Xiao Wang." ”
Wang Dou pretended to be angry: "Brother Chu thinks that Wang is such a person?" ”
Chu Qinmeng said: "It's because my brother said the wrong thing, and he should be beaten."
After the two agreed to maintain close contact. Chu Qinmeng said goodbye, and when he was leaving, Wang Dou gave him a gift box, which contained fifty taels of silver, as well as all kinds of silk and satin, which made Chu Qinmeng smile.
Chu Qinmeng brought several family members, Wang Dou also gave each of them five taels of silver, five buckets of rice, five catties of meat, and two pieces of cloth, and they all said happily: "I have heard that the king has been guarding boldly and benevolently, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation. ”
