[193] Recruit workers
That night, Yanjing City was full of lights, repelled the Liao army and the Jin soldiers, Yanjing's impregnable defense capability has gone far and wide, and everyone is rumored that Yanjing City has an invincible division. Zhou Yi ordered the curfew to be lifted in the whole city for three days, and all soldiers did not have to be on duty, so they could enjoy their entertainment.
Such a move has never been done before, soldiers are soldiers, and their duty is to protect the safety of the country and the people at any time, and the collective holiday of everyone like Zhou Yi has been opposed by many people in the military field, but Zhou Yi does not pay attention to their evaluation.
The capital, Kaifeng, the good news from Yanjing has made Zhao Ji smile, this morning's morning, he praised Zhou Yi without hesitation in front of all the ministers, and those ministers who are interested in resisting foreign invasion are happy, Zhou Yi is really angry.
In the imperial study, the lights were bright, and Zhao Ji was watching the good news sent by Zhou Yi, which was written by Zhou Yi himself, which not only recorded the process and results of several wars, but also depicted the terrain and people's lives in Yanjing City and the surrounding areas vividly, looking like relish.
"This Zhou Yi is really a talent, the movement caused by the past few years is not small, I heard that he is called the God of War outside, and he has not lost a single defeat so far, isn't that the case?" Zhao Ji asked, he only heard it by chance when he was out of Beijing once, and he was immediately surprised.
Among all the officials in the capital, I am afraid that the only one who is most qualified to talk about Zhou Yi is this Tong Guan, who let him lead the troops to fight side by side with Zhou Yi several times? Hearing Zhao Ji say this, he nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a thing, he has a good ability to fight." ”
He agreed with Zhao Ji's words unceremoniously. For praising Zhou Yi, he didn't have the slightest resistance. Not to mention, Zhou Yi has helped him a lot several times. The most important thing is that his identity is the eunuch beside Zhao Ji, and Zhou Yi cannot threaten his status and interests.
Zhao Ji said suddenly: "Do you know why I didn't let you continue to lead troops to reinforcements after you came back this time?" ”
Tong Guan had thought about this question, but he didn't dare to speculate, and when he heard Zhao Ji suddenly ask, he chuckled in his heart, could it be that the things he had done before that had lied about the military situation had been revealed? This is impossible, those insiders have already been killed, and there should be no proof of death.
The inside of my head spun sharply. He could only stubbornly answer: "The official's move must have deep meaning, and the slave and maid dare not speculate." ”
Zhao Ji said with a smile: "This son is a rare genius in a hundred years, not only can he lead the troops to fight, but let me tell you, since the implementation of his loan bookkeeping method, the tax revenue in various places has increased by as much as forty percent, and corruption has become common in various places, this is the Great Song Dynasty under my governance......
Tong Guan didn't understand why Zhao Ji said this, but what Zhao Ji said about corruption was really there, and many people under him came to him. said that Zhao Ji stopped using the loan accounting method, and they couldn't live anymore. But how could Tong Guan be on such a cusp to clearly oppose Zhao Ji's decision. Isn't that three hundred taels of silver here? Some officials jumped over the wall in a hurry, and threatened him that he had to do something about it, or he would shake off all the things he was sitting on, but the official who said this disappeared the next day, and the whole family. As for where he went, everyone knew it. Tong Guan put down his words, so that everyone had better not disobey Zhao Ji's intentions, collect the taxes when they come up, and don't be greedy enough to lose a few dollars and not be unable to live, don't be insatiable and end up harming others and yourself. As a result, most officials accepted this method of accounting for loans and loans.
"The wind of corruption has been curbed, Your Majesty can rest assured, now that all the taxes have been collected, and the treasury is full, it shows the peace of the Great Song Dynasty under Your Majesty's governance." Tong Guan lowered his eyes and said that his income was much less after the introduction of loan bookkeeping, but he was not short of money now, so he didn't care very much, thinking that it might be a good idea to do something good and accumulate some yin virtue. The most important thing is that Zhao Ji didn't say anything about leading the army to fight today, and a big stone in Tong Guan's heart fell to the ground.
Zhao Ji laughed, his greatest wish is to be able to govern the country well under the premise of ensuring his own enjoyment, in fact, this is a very contradictory proposition, the king will consume a lot of social resources as soon as he enjoys himself, and it is impossible to be peaceful in the world once social resources are concentrated.
"Yes, and that industrial zone, I have already ordered the construction of industrial zones across the country, and I don't know what the situation is now."
For this kind of thing in the industrial zone, Tong Guan has a different view from Zhao Ji, he said: "Your Majesty, this industrial zone seems to have a system, not everyone will do it, if you act rashly, I am afraid there will be something wrong, it is better to let Lord Zhou write out his law of the industrial zone, and then publish it to the world, everyone will follow suit, so as not to take fewer detours." ”
Zhao Ji felt justified and said: "Well, too, that's so good, there is one more thing, the Jin soldiers and the Liao soldiers are attacking Yanjing, and only Zhou Yi and the 100,000 soldiers are defending the city, can they hold it?" Do you need to increase your troops? ”
"It shouldn't be necessary, if more than 100,000 people can't stand a city, wouldn't it be in vain to waste his title of god of war? Anyway, our supplies have not been broken, it is better to exercise him, so that he can grow into a pillar of talent in the future. Tong Guan said.
So this issue was passed over like this and not discussed, if Zhou Yi heard it, he would definitely burst into tears, these two guys were completely cheating. Now Yanjing is at the forefront of the tripartite struggle, although several states in the south of Xijing Province have been returned to the Song Dynasty, but the north of Yanjing is the battlefield, which has become the forefront of the battle, and Zhou Yi's life is not easy.
Of course, Zhou Yi naturally won't be bothered by this matter, for him, there is no one to point fingers at him, everything can be decided by himself, this feeling is also very good.
On the morning of the fourth day of the repulsion of the Jin soldiers, Zhou Yi issued an order, and all the fireworks and iron-striking workers in Yanjing City came to the palace to gather. As the capital of the Liao State, it is natural to gather the best craftsmen in the country, and Zhou Yi wants to use their skills to make ammunition here, and with the formula of the materials, it is not a difficult thing.
On the square, Zhou Yi sat on the dragon chair that he moved out, he looked at the people in front of him, some old and some young, but there were still more old people, about more than a hundred people, obviously, it was impossible for a huge Yanjing City to be so little, but Zhou Yi didn't care about these, more than a hundred people were enough, and there were less than a hundred people in Zhending Mansion to make ammunition.
"I'm glad that you're here today, at least it means that you still recognize me, and in order to commend you, I'll reward you first." Zhou Yi opened his mouth and said, and then someone came out and gave ten yuan to each of the more than 100 people, which is not a small number for ordinary people and workers, after all, they didn't do anything but came here.
All this money was sold by Zhou Yi to the rich with the bulk items in the palace, who can usually get the things in the palace? Even if you can't see it, now that you have a chance to have it, most people are still very excited, but some people are timid, afraid that there will be problems in the future, and some people have deep feelings for Liao, according to their words, they can't defile the royal things. For this kind of person, Zhou Yi's approach is to get some porcelain that is not very valuable or something, and smash it in front of them, let it out, you don't buy it, if you don't buy it, I will smash it all. So these people hurriedly paid for the things, and then planned to send them back to the palace and so on in the future - of course, this premise is the restoration of the Liao State, as for whether there is such an opportunity, it is another matter.
So relying on this method, Zhou Yi got a lot of money, which was used to operate and operate, which was no better, so now he made such a generous move, and more than a thousand yuan of money was thrown out without blinking an eye.
Everyone was shocked by Zhou Yi's generosity, after all, they didn't do anything. But they know that the greater the benefits now, the more difficult the task, and the cost of more than a thousand times may not be worth the task.
Some of them began to retreat, while some were faintly excited, all looking forward to what kind of tasks Zhou Yi would assign to them next.
Zhou Yi coughed slightly, and continued: "Maybe you should have heard that I easily defeated Jin Bing's weapons, and your task is to make these weapons, there is no danger, and the amount of labor is not large, every month I give you a consistent salary, this is the basis, and at the same time, every time you make a qualified product, I will give you an extra ten yuan, but if there is a substandard, I will deduct one hundred yuan from you." If you work hard, you will get more, but if you make up the money, you will not only not get the money, but you may also owe me debts. Okay, now that the mission is over, what questions do you have? ”
Everyone was silent, Zhou Yi gave a very good reward, and it was not an unusual task, everyone was still within an acceptable range, so naturally there was no reason to object. And they heard that it seemed to be a very powerful weapon that day.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhou Yi stood up and said: "Very good, I like people like you who are easy to work with, you can go home today to reunite with your family, and come over at three o'clock tomorrow morning, and those who are late will not be allowed." Once you're done, you have to wait until you're done to get home. Okay, if you're willing to work, come and sign and draw. (To be continued......)
