Chapter 496: Disarmament

Disarmament is definitely the most difficult thing, but the more difficult it is, the more capable it will be. Xu Bangyang knows that his background is not only not a help, but on the contrary, it will become a burden. Others can rely on hard work to be promoted to the general soldier, it is impossible for them to be themselves, and the best result is to inherit the title, not to mention the difficult road, he still looks down on it.

The only chance to change your destiny is right in front of you, no matter how difficult it is, you have to fight for it!

"You've really figured it out?" Tang Yi said: "If you regret it, the Jiangjiang Counselor can be handed over to others, and you still continue to be the young master of the country, don't be afraid and afraid." ”

"Nope! Willing to believe in adults! ”

Xu Bangyang made up his mind and no longer hesitated. Tang Yi's methods he has learned, and if others can't do something, he may have an unexpected way.

"Well, we're grasshoppers on a rope, and I want your help."

Xu Bangyang said happily: "Your Excellency, just give orders!" ”

"Happy, a cool person!" Tang Yi praised.

In fact, Tang Yi had long thought about how to deal with the huge army in the southeast, not because he was unpredictable, but because of the situation. Although Wang Zhi and Xu Hai rebelled, it is an indisputable fact that the trouble is becoming less and less.

Up and down in the southeast, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the people are miserable, and disarmament is inevitable, but it is also dangerous. Even in later generations, after a few years of fighting, it is different from the habits of ordinary people, it is difficult to integrate into society, and it is impossible to find a suitable job.

The Ming Dynasty was notoriously financially difficult, and the local officials were greedy for ink, and it was very likely that they would give a little money, or even no money, and dissolve on the spot. Soldiers who have been tested by the fire of war have no source of livelihood. Falling grass for cowards, going up the mountain for thieves, it is normal.

Tang Yi didn't want to do this, firstly, the imperial court would treat meritorious people like this, which would chill the hearts of the people of the world, and secondly, it would also leave disasters for the locality.

Forget it at another time. In the Age of Discovery, there was land waiting to be developed everywhere, and the soldiers who had undergone military training were the pioneers of expanding the territory.

"The sergeants are not in love with the mandarin duck battle jacket, but they leave the army and have no source of livelihood. The southeast has many people and little land, and they have no arable fields. I don't know how to do business, and if I don't do well, I will go hungry. If we can solve the problem of the sergeant's life, so that after they leave, they can live a better and more chic life, it will be solved. Tang Yi said: "Young Master Xu, what do you think, be open and honest." Just say it. ”

"Yes." Xu Bangyang thought for a moment and said, "My lord." Although the truth is so, I am afraid that it will not work. ”

"Why?"

"Tens of thousands of troops, how much does it cost to dismiss them? If they don't do it, the court won't be able to take it out, and even if the silver is enough, the guys in the army don't know how to calculate. I took the money, went around the casino, and there was nothing left. In the end, they're still going to make trouble. Xu Bangyang spread his hands.

Tang Yi smiled slightly, "That's a good point." It is better to give a man a fish than to give him a fish, and it is not enough to give silver alone. ”

"So what else can be done? Give land? Xu Bangyang asked in surprise, although it is difficult to make silver, it can still be opened, but the land is priceless and marketable, and it is not easy for anyone to spit out an acre and a half of an acre, he doesn't think Tang Yi has that ability.

Feeling the suspicion of the other party, Tang Yi simply told Xu Bangyang about his plan...... It is by no means a trivial matter to find decent jobs for tens of thousands of people, especially since the sergeants have no skills other than being young and strong.

After thinking about it, Tang Yi thought of an excellent career, that is, transportation and logistics! There are many people, the skills are not complicated, and the income is quite considerable, which is simply tailor-made for the sergeants.

Tang Yi called Xu Bangyang over, and the two of them gathered around the map and chatted about business again. The memories of the past were recalled again, Xu Bangyang's eyes widened, at first he listened, but later, he shouted directly with Tang Yi, and the more he chatted, the hotter he became. A whole afternoon passed, and they were still unsatisfied, and the next day, the two of them ran to the river again, and kept pointing at the passing boats.

In front of them, it is no longer a turbulent river, but endless wealth, mountains of gold and silver, rolling in!

After the southeast opens the sea, silk tea sells well, more and more land in the south of the Yangtze River has been changed to mulberry fields, cotton fields, tea gardens, grain production declines, more and more dependent on other provinces to transport, the nearest is Jiangxi and Huguang, the two places are relatively sparsely populated, the soil is fertile, if you take the Yangtze River channel, transport to the southeast a stone grain will not exceed 12 yuan, very profitable.

It won't be long before the Yangtze River will become a "golden river"!

The prosperity of upstream and downstream commerce and the frequent exchange of personnel and materials require a developed logistics system. The original petty fight is definitely not good, especially since there are many water thieves and robbers along the way, threatening the safety of merchants.

Most of the soldiers in the Zhenwu battalion have fought against the Japanese pirates, and it is not a problem to deal with the water thieves. If they are organized, a shipping company is established, they travel to and from the Yangtze River, transport materials, deliver news, and then run inns and taverns, and millions of them will be recorded every year, to say the least.

This money alone is enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers.

The more Xu Bangyang thought about it, the more he felt that Tang Yi was smart, and finally laughed out loud.

"What's so funny, could it be that the official's method is not good?"

"No, it's not!" Xu Bangyang said: "My lord, isn't what you want to do is to set up a Cao Gang on the Yangtze River?" After all these years, do you still hold grudges? ”

Tang Yi also laughed and scolded: "Anyone who offends this official, I will make him uncomfortable for the rest of his life!" Tang Yi announced domineeringly, in fact, he still had reservations about Xu Bangyang, and shipping alone obviously couldn't satisfy Tang Yi's appetite.

There are many cotton spinning workshops under the jurisdiction of the traffic bank, and due to the implementation of new machines, the weaving efficiency has been greatly increased, but problems have also arisen.

More than half of Songjiang's land is planted with cotton, and the neighboring prefectures and counties are similar.

Clearly, new cotton producing areas must be developed to meet the strong demand for raw materials. After thinking about it, I set my sights on Huguang.

The Jianghan Plain was also one of the main cotton producing areas in later generations, and its proximity to the Yangtze River waterway made it convenient for transportation and relatively cheap for land. It is completely possible to grow cotton in large quantities in the lake to supply the almost bottomless needs of Jiangnan.

Tang Yi's industrial layout is completely carried out, and this kind of advanced vision is not something that anyone has.

With the direction in hand, the next step is to fool more people into joining it.

The choice of Xu Bangyang was the result of Tang Yi's repeated thinking.

After the killing of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, two generations, the remaining heroes are too limited. What can be counted in the south is Wei Guogong's family. Xu Bangyang is the son of Xu Pengju, and his identity is very advantageous. The relationship between the military and the Chinese army is complicated, and outsiders can't figure it out, but the Xu family is a snake on the ground for more than a hundred years, and they can see it clearly.

"Xu Gongzi, I will give you the shares of Sancheng Shipping Company, you go to win over those generals in the army, and those who are willing to hand over their military power and return to the field can get shares, not only do they have no worries about food and clothing, but they can also pass it on to future generations. Moreover, you tell them that it is only a temporary handover, as long as they enter the system of the shipping company, they will have a good opportunity in the future, and they will fully support their comeback. ”

"Understood!"

Xu Bangyang nodded, "My lord, how to distribute the shares, whether it is according to the level of official position, or the length of the army......

"It's your business." Tang Yi interrupted unceremoniously and said, "I just have to explain the matter, if you can't handle it, I'll change people." ”

The boat of friendship is capsized. Tang Yi put away the openness and honesty during the discussion, and when it came time to assign tasks, he was like a domineering landlord, desperately pressing the long-term workers under him, and he was ruthless at all.

Xu Bangyang grinned, a few days ago, he saw Jiajing forcing Tang Yi to disarm at great risk, and he still had some sympathy, but now, he has no mind at all.

Ya, Tang Yi and Jiajing are all the way, and they are not polite to their subordinates, you deserve to have a Jiajing to call you, otherwise how can I balance my heart?

Xu Bangyang was angry, but he didn't dare to hesitate to do things. He actively campaigned in the army, persuaded everyone, and agreed to Tang Yi's plan.

……

Sun Fan's family was very poor, otherwise he would not have gone to the Zhenwu Camp to serve in the army, and he relied on his military exploits to rise to the general flag. He participated in a rebellion, and Sun Fan thought that his life was over, but as the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be blessings, and he ushered in the most important turning point in his life.

When the governor came to his house, he brought a gift, two horses of pliable cotton, which were just right for the children to wear. Sun Fan burst into tears with excitement, he was the husband of the woman who was saved by Tang Yi.

Due to being alarmed by the rebellious army, his wife was frightened and gave birth a month early, on the day of delivery, Sun Fan was scared half to death, and even his biological wife told him that this situation was easy to kill.

Sun Fan knelt on the ground, his mouth kept reciting Wenqu Xing, others thought he was crazy, and he didn't take the imperial examination, what are you worshipping Wen Qu Xing?

Sun Fanxin said What do you know, if it weren't for Lord Tang, his daughter-in-law would have died a long time ago, and Lord Tang is the Wenqu Star in the sky, with his blessing, he guarantees that he can turn evil into good fortune.

Don't really say it, I don't know if the gods have appeared, the mother and son are safe, Sun Fan finally has a son.

The child is 100 years old today, and he invited many brothers in the army to drink happily together, but everyone didn't expect that Tang Yi would come, Sun Fan's face turned purple with excitement, and he couldn't say anything, only lying on the ground, kowtowing, and his head was blue.

"Don't be restrained, the official actually wanted to come and see it for a long time, but he was busy with official business, and he finally had free time."

A sergeant who could talk was busy laughing and said, "The adults have a lot of opportunities, and they can still remember us, and the little ones are really grateful." ”

"yes, yes!" Sun Fan was moved to kowtow again, but Tang Yi hurriedly grabbed him, "If you kowtow again, you will become a kowtow worm." ”

Tang Yi stood up and said with a smile: "This official came here this time, firstly, because he was happy, and secondly, he wanted to discuss something with the big guy." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Are you still willing to stay in the army? In other words, the imperial court wants to abolish the Zhenwu camp, what do you think? (To be continued.) )
