Chapter 201: Sharpening the Knife
got the promise from the palace, and finally made Qin Shaoyou feel better.
Letting the unity camp accompany you can not only protect your own safety, but also give them exercise, which is a good thing for Qin Shaoyou.
As for the sealing of the county prince, it can be regarded as an unexpected joy, and it can be said that Wang Hong's land has been obtained, which can be described as double happiness.
As for the Western Turks, they still have to go, anyway, as a son-in-law, how can there be a reason not to pay respects? just brought an eldest princess to go, which made this trip to Mount Tai a little more variable.
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly left the palace and went to prepare.
The land of Mengjin County has been rewarded and annexed several times, and almost all of it has fallen into the hands of Qin Shaoyou and the unity camp, which is close to the river in the north and Luoyang in the south, but now it has become a habitat, as for this annexation, it is not too difficult, because before, Wang Hong's land was planted with what Qin Shaoyou needed, so there was no resistance.
Qin Shaoyou actually doesn't pay attention to the two links of production and sales, because princess tea has always been a sought-after commodity, and because tea is easy to preserve and easy to carry, so even if the output increases dramatically, it can completely let the merchant take the goods, go all the way down the river, take it to various states and counties to sell, and on land you can also go west to Guanzhong, and even flow into Jiangnan and other places.
It can be said that such tea, how much can be sold, although the price has fallen a little, but there are more and more people who have developed to eat this kind of tea, and there are some things, you are used to it, and it is difficult to leave.
Therefore, tea is the pillar industry of the Qin family Zhuangzi, as long as there is this thing to support, no matter how toss in the Zhuangzi, it can also enter the gold bucket day by day.
On the contrary, it is a popsicle, but because it is a seasonal thing, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the same is true of cloth and silk, after all, this thing can be made in Zhuangzi, and other people can also do it, so the profit is not high, but it is just a means for Qin Shaoyou to organize the eaters to produce and increase a little income.
There are nearly 20,000 households in Mengjin County. The population is 70,000 or 80,000, and if they are allowed to grow food as they did in the past, they will barely survive. But when it comes to improving livelihoods, it is a bit wishful thinking, and Qin Shaoyou's approach is nothing more than organizing everyone so that they are no longer self-sufficient. Everyone has become a member of the Qin family's industrial chain, and everyone, without the Qin family's Zhuangzi, will have no livelihood, but once they join this link, their lives can be improved enough, so that Qin Shaoyou's control over the eaters is only afraid that it has far exceeded that of an official government in any period. And this control is directly reflected in many ways. For example, enrollment, the current government, occasionally there will be some persuasion behavior, but this thing is just empty talk, not much practical use, but here, the children enrolled in school have been completely covered, there is only one reason, not enrolled in school will lose benefits, and only after entering school can there be a better life. Later, it even developed to the point that if you don't go to school, you will be criticized and looked down upon. Only after entering the school can you integrate into this group of the Qin family.
In addition to enrollment, it is to requisition the regimental bravery, after all, the unity camp needs metabolism, so it is necessary to ensure that there is a steady stream of strong men to join, and at least fifty people need to be replenished every year. The implementation is no longer the method of drawing ding, but the recruitment system, because the livelihood of the farmers has been improved, so the food of the young and strong in ordinary times has also been improved, and in this regard, the supply of soldiers for the unity battalion can be well guaranteed.
Because of this system, it also led to Zhuangzi has a better taxation method, the difference between this taxation method and the government is that the government has to collect taxes, because the organizational ability is far less than Qinjiazhuang, so it is necessary to find agents in the countryside, such as some high-ranking people in the township, or a pavilion of Haoqiang, and although these people are to assist the government, in fact, they also get a piece of the pie, obviously a hundred catties of grain, maybe thirty catties, it fell into their pockets, and then through the county government, through the Zhou government, and then through the land and water transfer envoys, The layers of deductions of these people in the household department may really enter the treasury, but I am afraid that it will be less than 30 catties, that is to say, 100 catties of grain, what the imperial court really gets, may not even have 30%.
And Qin Shaoyou completely gave up the so-called loss of the so-called high door and the strong and powerful, how much he collected, the eaters paid less money and food, but Qin Shaoyou got more.
In addition, the most surprising thing for Qin Shaoyou is that not far from his Zhuangzi, he specially set up a bazaar, after all, although this is a countryside, but because everyone is not self-sufficient, and the consumption capacity is also frighteningly high, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea need to be purchased on the market, and there are more and more merchants gathered here, although the scale is not as large as Mengjin County, but its prosperity is far above that Mengjin County.
All kinds of merchants, selling along the street, business is surprisingly good, come to visit the bazaar, inevitably have to eat and drink, so many restaurants and tea shops have also risen from the ground, because everyone needs to buy grain, so the rice shop occupies almost half of the street, because everyone can no longer buy shoes and clothes in their own homes, after all, many people need to work, where there is time to sew and mend, so the garment and shoe shop is also a prosperous business, and because many children here are enrolled, there are many fans who sell fans, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and books are sold.
The more merchants, the more men need to be hired, the vast majority of these people are from Luoyang, not only Han Chinese, but also Fan people who sell camels and horses, in addition, some ostentatious food, Persians are also common.
Although there are not many 20,000 food households, compared to the population in Luoyang City, the difference is thousands of miles, but the consumption power is considerable, the more businessmen and men who come, these people also need to spend money while doing business, so there is a virtuous circle, more and more people, the more people spend, the more they spend, the more shops are more forested, the more shops, the more merchants and their buddies are more.
In order to facilitate management, Qin Shaoyou simply appointed a few people here to manage here, but because of the large number of people, the three sects and nine streams also began to mix, playing the pipa, performing martial arts, and boxing and swords, so it gradually became a little difficult to manage, but fortunately, there was no chaos at the moment, and Qin Shaoyou didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Now there are several treasury in Zhuangzi, all the money has been exchanged for gold ingots, and then boxes of gold ingots are loaded into it, and now Qin Shaoyou is already quite large-scale and has the demeanor of a local tyrant.
If you have money, you have to spend money, and the place where Qin Shaoyou spends the most money is naturally the unity camp.
In the final analysis, every regiment here has been trained for more than a year, all of them have been extraordinary, this drill and drill are two different things, ordinary drills, even if they are not mere formalities, but after all, the intensity needs to be appropriate, and the drill method of the unity camp is to people to death, harsh to the extreme, but in terms of logistics support, it is also extravagant to the extreme, every day is big fish and meat, and even Zhuangzi specially raised some sheep, specifically to provide them with goat milk, with this foundation, although Fang Jing is a toss, The bodies of the group warriors can bear it.
And now, for their equipment, Qin Shaoyou is no longer satisfied, if you have money, you will naturally be willing to do it, such as horn bows, now the procurement is more demanding, individual soldiers, often equipped with a spear, a pair of horizontal knives, these knives and guns, the selection is made of the best forged steel, every day with tea oil maintenance, in addition, there is also a pair of bows, this bow is a horn bow, and in addition to the bow, each person needs to carry three bowstrings, in case of emergency, the group of brave people always have quivers, carry thirty arrows, these arrows, All of them are clusters of arrows with wolf teeth, which are strong in penetration and lethal.
This kind of equipment, to a certain extent, can be described as extravagant, but there is a problem, because this pair of equipment plus a set of bright light armor down, there are more than forty catties, and the most important thing in the unity battalion is the cavalry, to put it bluntly, the requirements for mobility ability are also extremely high, although the regimental cavalry battalion is not a heavy cavalry, but the burden on the war horse has also increased a lot, although in terms of weapons, Qin Shaoyou has ordered people to be as light as possible, but compared to the real light cavalry, it is still a little heavier.
Therefore, the selection of war horses has become an extremely important problem, the unity camp has better requirements for horses, not only to keep the horses healthy, in terms of feeding, but also to hire a lot of well-known horse stables to be responsible for cooking, in addition, the feeding of war horses is also meticulous to the extreme, so as to ensure that the war horses can maintain the most abundant physical strength at any time to ensure the combat strength of the cavalry regiment.
I'm afraid to be serious about everything, of course...... This sentence seems to be missing something, and in the words of Qin Shaoyou, what he is afraid of is that the rich and willful uncle is serious. Because no matter how delicate and serious a person is, he will eventually have his weakness, but if he has money, he can take this seriousness to the extreme.
The logistics support of this cavalry regiment can already be faintly compared with the most elite flying horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now, with an order, the cavalry group has also begun to prepare to set off, Fang Jing and them are still practicing day and night, in addition, they began to give them the method of marching and arranging the formation, no way, they have never been out of the gate before, this time they have not gone far away, this time they have let the big guys gear up, but after all, it is the first time, how to set up a whistle, how to scout, how to set up camp, it is good to say it clearly.
