In one afternoon, these people pledged a large amount of money, as long as it is implemented, the start-up funds for the township self-insurance of the townships will be basically implemented, and only after the people of this group of people take out the money, they will begin to promote this matter.

This matter is simple to say, but in fact, it is not easy to really operate, after all, it is necessary to purchase bows and arrows, weapons and other things in large quantities, and if it is not good, it will cause concern to the upper echelons of the state capital, so before the implementation of this matter, Gao Huaiyuan also pulled Liu Zhixian together and reported this matter to the Ezhou prefect, and explained the reason for doing so.

The Ezhou prefect had already received generous gifts from Gao Huaiyuan, and Zhao Fang also urged the local government to strengthen the training of the township brave, so the green light all the way passed the method of Daye County's rectification of the township brave and strong, and agreed that Daye County should come forward by the official to purchase bows and arrows, weapons and other materials in the Ezhou Ordnance Field, which were used for the training of the township bravery.

It takes some time to do these things, but it ensures that Gao Huaiyuan will not be guilty of this, and they have done things on the bright side, so that people have nothing to say, which is also fortunate that Ji first became Gao Huaiyuan's advice, otherwise, with Gao Huaiyuan's way of doing things, it is not allowed that after this matter is done secretly, it will become the handle of others, and when the time comes, Gao Huaiyuan will probably have to wash his ass and go to prison!

Although this delayed a little time, it ensured Gao Huaiyuan's safety, so Gao Huaiyuan was as good as a stream, and according to Ji Xiancheng's instructions, these things were gradually promoted, and finally after the summer harvest, this matter was implemented in Daye County.

And those big households who pledged at the beginning, seeing that the matter had come to this point, honestly took out the money in accordance with the original promise, and the county government came forward to purchase a batch of bows and arrows in the Ezhou Ordnance Field, and transported them to the warehouse of Daye County, which initially solved the problem of the source of weapons.

At the beginning of the implementation of this matter, Gao Huaiyuan still encountered a lot of resistance, some people in the countryside were not willing to participate, felt that there was no benefit in doing so, it was exploited by large households and the government, the reason for this situation is mainly that there were also things in the past to draw strong men for the township soldiers, but the local government is mostly for the purpose of exploiting labor, rarely really for the use of the people, just to solicit free labor, so as soon as the people heard about this, they had a lot of resistance, unwilling to go out.

For this reason, many ordinary people scolded Gao Huaiyuan in private, saying that after this guy took office, he didn't think about the people, and he wanted to change his ways to harm the people! Gao Huaiyuan was a little frustrated, but this did not discourage Gao Huaiyuan's enthusiasm, so he personally went down to the township to explain the benefits of doing so to the people, and explained to the people with affection and reason, and promised that he would never easily use the township soldiers to work for the government for free!

After some mobilization, coupled with the semi-compulsory drawing of the local officials, the township teams were finally formed, and they were not nominally called by the township soldiers, but in the name of the bow and arrow club.

In this way, the resistance of some villagers was somewhat reduced, and it began to operate gradually.

Gao Huaiyuan also reached an agreement with Liu Zhixian for this reason, under normal circumstances, he would never use them to perform any labor, and focus on training them, so as not to cause this kind of thing to become a mere formality and unable to continue to be implemented.

Liu Zhixian now relied on Gao Huaiyuan to maintain the stability of Daye County for him, so he supported his opinion, and in addition to the necessary things, the use of labor was greatly reduced, so that the initially organized bow and arrow club began to operate.

The difference between the Bow and Arrow Society and the Township Soldiers is that the Township Soldiers are ten households out of one ding, and the selection of healthy people as soldiers is purely a military organization, but the Bow and Arrow Society is a household out of one ding, only participating in training, but not going out to serve, so that the number of personnel has increased a lot, and on weekdays, these Bow and Arrow Clubs only need to practice in agriculture and do not leave their homes, so as to weaken the people's resistance to this matter, and begin to implement Gao Huaiyuan's ideas.

The name of this bow and arrow club alone is not enough, and the big families pay money, so they naturally have to act as the head or vice president of the bow and arrow club, but these rich people can only act as a nominal leader, and they really train these people, but they are more than capable and not enough, and someone must train them, and Gao Huaiyuan in order to solve this problem, in the jurisdiction of Daye, the township soldiers who had served before the army were gathered, many of these people have actual combat experience, and a group of them are still Gao Huaiyuan's subordinates when he was with the army, I returned to the township last year, so I could use it as the head of the bow and arrow club in each township, and these people heard that Gao Huaiyuan was promoted to the lieutenant of Daye County and wanted to set up a bow and arrow club, so they came to vote one after another, and initially solved the problem of the head of the bow and arrow club.

However, these township soldiers alone are not enough to solve the problem, Gao Huaiyuan also through his connections, in the folk search for martial arts people, and to visit, invite a group of people with martial arts, to serve as the head of the township bow and arrow society, so that he is responsible for the training of the township bow and arrow society.

In addition, Gao Huaiyuan also set up the charter of the Bow and Arrow Society, according to the busy farming and farming time, set a system of regular drills, and strictly limited the system of dispatching the township brave, to prevent individual large households from using these bow and arrow clubs, for their own use, disturb the place, and become their private soldiers, so the Bow and Arrow Society gradually became the second-level armed organization of Daye County, in essence, it must be subject to the deployment of the county government, such a charter has also been approved by Liu Zhixian and other county officials, so that the matter of self-protection of the township can be regarded as gradually spread in Daye County.

And Gao Huaiyuan is even more busy, not only responsible for the training of the county archers every day, but also in the township bow and arrow club assembly exercises, to go to the inspector, and from time to time personally teach some archery is martial arts, but basically never mobilized the bow and arrow club of the village warriors to do anything like labor, so far the people of the township gradually trusted Gao Huaiyuan, the county lieutenant, is indeed not seeking his own selfishness, and all those who participate in the bow and arrow club's martial arts exercises, I can still get some food subsidies more or less, so I began to be enthusiastic about participating in the activities of the Bow and Arrow Club.

Gao Huaiyuan even made a plan for the autumn competition in various townships, and released rumors that he would set up a heavy reward to reward the bow and arrow clubs that won the autumn competition, so that they began to mobilize the enthusiasm of the township bow and arrow clubs to practice martial arts.

During this period, Gao Huaiyuan also learned a lot of things, first of all, some things about him, Huang Zhen was ordered to return to Shaoxing, in a short period of time, he used the real estate purchased by Gao Huaiyuan in Shaoxing, opened the first drunken immortal building in the two Zhejiang areas, and relied on the immortal drunk this kind of wine, once again became popular in one fell swoop, quickly rose in Shaoxing, became the largest restaurant in Shaoxing, and with the support of Gao Jian, firmly established.

And soon opened the semicolon to Mingzhou, the most important maritime commercial port in the Southern Song Dynasty, where the situation was also opened, so that Gao Huaiyuan's plan to use the drunken immortal building to the east was initially implemented successfully, only to wait for the next step to enter the drunken immortal building into Hangzhou Lin'an, for Huang Zhen's actions, Gao Huaiyuan was deeply pleased, and secretly praised Huang Zhen is really a good businessman, and now after this period of experience in the big scene, he has the ability to act independently.

For this reason, Gao Huaiyuan selected more than 30 shrewd teenagers from among the teenagers in Crouching Tiger Village and sent them to Huang Zhen's subordinates to help him and continue to promote the expansion of the Drunken Immortal Building.

At the same time, he also learned a major news about the Gao family through Huang Zhen, the second young master of the Gao family somehow, a month ago, suddenly ran away from home and ran away without a trace, making Gao Jian very anxious, and sent servants to inquire in many ways, but could not find Gao Huairen's whereabouts.

Gao Huaiyuan naturally didn't know why Gao Huairen suddenly played the game of running away from home, but faintly, he still felt that Gao Huairen's move was probably related to the ambush in Huizhou when he came back from Shaoxing that day, and from the news sent by Huang Zhen, it is very likely, because since he returned to Daye County, the gang of gentlemen who were very arrogant in Shaoxing have died down and closed their doors. It can be regarded as saving their lives, needless to say, the people who want to blackmail these guys must have been done by the Ma Erdao who set up an ambush in Huizhou and wanted Gao Huaiyuan's life, that gang ambushed Gao Huaiyuan and failed, and the loss of the army will naturally not stop, he didn't dare to trouble Gao Huaiyuan again, so he went to find trouble with those employers, extorted some money to compensate for his losses, it seems that this is a big lesson for the lawless children, as for Gao Huairen suddenly ran away, maybe this guy has something to do with this matter, I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I simply went to avoid the limelight.

Gao Huaiyuan first learned about this matter from Huang Zhen's mouth, but soon learned about it from the letters he exchanged with Gao Jian, Gao Jian was very worried about this matter, and he couldn't find Gao Huairen's whereabouts.

Gao Huaiyuan could only write a letter to comfort his father Gao Jian, and comforted Gao Jian that the second brother was not allowed to be bored at home to study, and he might not want to go out to practice, so Gao Jianmo should worry too much about Yunyun, but what problems can be solved after a long time, Gao Huaiyuan is not clear.

Thinking about Gao Jian, Gao Huaiyuan also felt quite sorry for his father, the two sons who had high hopes are now one of them has become a bastard who corrupts the family style, and the other has also run away, leaving him, the originally dispensable stupid son, to become the sustenance, for the father, such a blow is definitely not small.

At the same time that Huang Zhen opened a branch of Zuixianlou in Mingzhou, he also opened a shop in Mingzhou City, which was mainly engaged in women's supplies, and many fresh goods were already on the market, so they were immediately sought after and became a hot commodity on the market, which was also an instant hit, shocking the business peers.

In this way, not only aroused the interest of the Song people, but also flocked to the merchants with them, and bought these novelties at a high price, and in a short period of time, the first batch of goods brought over was sold cleanly. As usual, it can't stop the enthusiasm of rich women to buy it, and in order to get a bottle of such perfume, many people have made a reservation in advance, just hoping to get a bottle after it arrives.

In this way, Gao Huaiyuan is naturally rich and rich, and he has made a lot of money, and the workshop of Crouching Tiger Village is still not in supply, and it is not too much to say that he is making money every day! As for how much money he made, Gao Huaiyuan himself didn't know, and I am afraid that only Zhou Yi, the chief accountant, could calculate it clearly.

And for the twelfth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is also an unquiet year, the Jin country changed generals, ordered Yan to lead the Jin army to attack Zaoyang again, Meng Zongzheng led the troops to fight fiercely with the Jin army in Zaoyang again, and repeatedly repelled the Jin army led by Yan Yan to attack the city fifteen times, and Yan Yan could choose two thousand fine cavalry, known as crossbowmen, with cloud ladders and overpasses to attack Zaoyang City, and at the same time recruit workers to dig tunnels through the city day and night. The Song general Meng Zongzheng fought fifteen bloody battles with the Jin army, burning its siege equipment so that it did not dare to approach the city.

At the same time, Zhao Fang, who was the ambassador of the Jingxi Road system, saw the emptiness of the rear of the Jin army, so he dispatched Xu Guo, the commander of the Shenjin Army, to attack the two states of Dengzhou in Tangzhou (now Tanghe County, Henan) to relieve the siege of Zaoyang, and when Xu Guo and Hu Zaixing passed through the two states of Tang and Deng, they received an order from Zhao Fang and turned over and attacked the back of the Jin army that was besieging Zaoyang County, and Wanyan could storm Zaoyang for more than 80 days, but could not be overcome, and was attacked by the Song army inside and outside, and was defeated again, losing more than 30,000 people, and Wanyan was even more pitifulSince then, it has ended the battle of Zaoyang that lasted for more than three years, and completely disintegrated the strategic concept of the Jin army to attack Xiangyang, and since then it has no longer attacked in the direction of Zaoyang, but began to focus on Fusan Anzhen, and put the main direction of attack in the Huainan area.

The Song army basically won the victory on the battlefield of Jingxi Road, completely stabilized the defense line of Jingxi Road, and from then on, the remnants of the Central Plains also began to move south in large numbers and entered the territory controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty.

Originally, Meng Zongzheng's Zhongshun Army established in Zaoyang vigorously recruited the young and strong people from these northern remnants into the army, and at the same time gave the idle land in Zaoyang to these Han remnants who went south for their cultivation and home use, which greatly strengthened the population of Zaoyang, which was repeatedly slaughtered by war, and made Zaoyang an insurmountable pass in front of the Jin army, and began to form a counteroffensive against the Jin State with the Zhongshun Army as the mainstay.

After Xu Guo and Hu Zaixing defeated the Jin army led by Yan Yanke, they began to attack Tang and Deng Erzhou again, and the war began to burn to the area controlled by the Jin State, and the situation on the entire Jingxi Road was completely stabilized.

This news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Great Song Dynasty, Jingxi Road up and down are all excited, no matter who it is, for this kind of matter related to the life and death of the country, they have shown a high enthusiasm, after all, this is where they live, now the Jin army has been defeated in successive battles, and they, the Song people, can continue to live and work here in peace and contentment, Gao Huaiyuan naturally took advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the training of local villagers again, and under the encouragement of the good news of the war ahead, the Daye Bow and Arrow Society also began to flourish.

It can be said that in this year, Gao Huaiyuan's actions in Daye County took into account both public and private interests, whether it was his private industry or what he did for officials, they all went hand in hand, and their development was in full swing.

The local security situation in Daye County has also been greatly improved in the six months after Gao Huaiyuan took office, first of all, the township joint security has played a great role, and the establishment of the Bow and Arrow Society has enabled each township to have a standing civilian patrol force, so that those bandits who originally flowed between the townships could not run rampant, at most, in a month, only the bandits captured by the local townships were enough to have dozens of people, and the prison in Daye County was stuffed to the brim, such a situation had never happened before Daye County. Even those who were roosters and dog thieves, under such pressure, they also died down, honestly, and did not dare to do evil easily, otherwise, if they were not careful, they would be caught by Xiang Yong and sent to the official, and if they were not protected, they would be shot or dismembered on the spot, so the public security situation in Daye County began to fundamentally improve, and this situation naturally made Liu Zhixian and the officials enjoy it.

For Gao Huaiyuan, on the one hand, he has gained a good reputation as an official, and on the other hand, he has also begun to emerge in the officialdom of nearby states and counties, which has also become a great boost for his private industry.

Now he Gao Huaiyuan in Daye County does not dare to say that he covers the sky with one hand, at least his industry in the open and secret, no one can covet anything in Daye County anymore, especially now the copper and iron mine under Xue Yan's name, after a year or two of mining, the output has also begun to reach a peak, taking advantage of this opportunity, the copper and iron smelting furnace that has been prepared by the mine for a long time has finally begun to ignite.

Gao Huaiyuan used his connections in Daye County to get Xue Yan a lot of furnace workers in the refinery, which made the smelting furnace project under his name progress extremely smoothly, and soon began to produce iron and copper, which became a wealthy business for Gao Huaiyuan.

However, Gao Huaiyuan was not in a hurry to sell these copper and iron, while paying the taxes that should be paid, he kept the copper and iron produced for later use.

And the archers who have been trained by Gao Huaiyuan personally in the county government can be said to have reached a very elite level in the past half a year, don't look at the fifty archers, compared to the fifty archers under the county lieutenant Wang back then, not to mention one as a hundred, at least there is no problem with hundreds of them.
