Tianjin East Gate Road North, there is an official office, was originally the former Ming Dynasty's military preparation road office, was founded in the Ming Hongzhi four years, the former Ming Dynasty's military preparation road to govern the three guards military, judicial and urban construction matters, can be described as a high authority, the government office is naturally also a large scale, rigorous layout, Xuan open and solemn, now here is Shi Shilun's temporary yamen.

The whole city of Tianjin firecrackers are everywhere, everywhere is filled with a celebratory atmosphere, the newly relocated Zhili Governor Shi Shilun is sitting in the signing room with a sad face, the joy of being promoted to the governor of Zhili has dissipated, replaced by the worry of the drought, he is in danger of being ordered, the governor of Zhili is in charge of the military and civilian affairs of Zhili, Henan and Shandong and other places, the three provinces are the hardest hit areas of the spring drought, if the drought relief is not effective, he is afraid that the governor will not be able to do it for a long time.

Taking a sip of strong tea, he recalled in detail the situation when he met His Majesty, Zhenwu didn't say a word about the drought, but he actively began to prepare for cash-for-work, this is worried that the leakage will cause panic? Or is he already ready for charity? Zhenwu has just ascended the throne and changed the yuan, and there is no reason not to pay attention to it, but I am afraid that there are other ideas, at the moment, Zhenwu has not said it clearly, or pretending to be confused, rash and reckless, but not beautiful, but still have to take precautions, so as not to come to an end, in a hurry.

Put down this, he is worried about his own soldiers, the governor of Zhili is the head of the governor of the world, every move is particularly eye-catching, the governor has a standard and three battalions of personal soldiers - the governor, even if the number is compressed a little more, the basic 2,000 soldiers and horses are indispensable, the problem is that the governor's office is located in Tianjin, Zhenwu said very clearly, Tianjin is the face of the imperial court, these 2,000 soldiers and horses are according to the standard configuration of the battalion soldiers, or according to the standard configuration of naval soldiers?

In his heart, he is more inclined to naval soldiers, not only the coat is simple and generous, but also the military is solemn, the orders are strict, and the training is not comparable to the battalion, but. As the governor of Zhili, he supervised the navy, and seemed to be unconventional, but judging from Zhenwu's initiative to form a new army, it seems that he has the intention of promoting the new army.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly. This governor of Zhili looks majestic, but in fact it is difficult, it is not as good as the governor of Liangguang or Yunnan and Guizhou, the emperor is far away, and everything can be autonomous.

After sighing, he frowned again, cash-for-work is aimed at coolies who have no skills, what kind of project is suitable. In order to maximize the use and solution of possible large-scale displacement flows?

The southern suburbs outside Tianjin, purple bamboo forest.

Located on the west bank of the Haihe River, the Purple Bamboo Forest was originally just a village nunnery. The scale is very small, and its name is not well-known, but after the land acquisition of the naval military workshop, the purple bamboo forest has become famous and has become a long-lasting topic on the lips of Tianjin people after tea and dinner.

However, in two years, the purple bamboo forest has changed beyond recognition, and the former simple village nunnery and purple bamboo forest temple have disappeared, replaced by a cluster of factories and neatly planned road houses, with the transfer of some craftsmen from Shanghai Honggang one after another. A large number of craftsmen from all over the world also came to hear the wind, and a group of merchants with a keen sense of smell also followed, and the whole purple bamboo forest was lively and prosperous overnight, and soon developed into another prosperous center of Tianjin.

Half a year ago, when a large number of Eight Banners disciples poured into the military workshop. It is tantamount to the icing on the cake, making the purple bamboo forest more prosperous, and where the flag people gather, there is no need to worry about the bad business of the restaurant and teahouse, which is this. Not only the merchants in the capital know, but also the businessmen who have a little bit of insight know. Therefore, as soon as the flag people came, all kinds of large and small teahouses and restaurants in Zizhulin came into being, and all of them were prosperous.

After Lao Jiu Yinyu returned to the courtyard of Zizhu Forest from the T-shaped Gu Palace, he was also lazy to gather the nobles who were stationed in Tianjin to manage the flag affairs, but directly ordered people to post notices in the workshops of the Zizhu Forest, and went to the large and small teahouses and restaurants to spread the news, at present, there are only 4,000 flag people in Tianjin, and the people sent to Tianjin to manage the flag affairs are all undignified, and they don't know what to do, Yinyu has no good impression of them, and he also wants to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson. …,

The next morning in the public assessment, and all craftsmen with the same standard of opening the river, can not be converted into a formal craftsman, after three months of re-examination, the re-examination still can not pass, expelled from the workshop, the children of their relatives from the new army of the Janissaries, the family sent to Shengjing, the assessment of favoritism, exile to Australia, gather a crowd to make trouble, exile Ningguta, and the armor people as slaves.

As soon as the news spread, the whole purple bamboo forest immediately became a sensation, a group of civilian craftsmen have long been dissatisfied with the behavior of the flag people who do not contribute to the work, and they are dissatisfied with the behavior of messing around in the workshop all day long.

The large and small teahouses of the purple bamboo forest were immediately overcrowded, and a group of flag people rushed to their familiar teahouses after hearing the news, the purple bamboo tea house was also overcrowded, and most of the frequent customers here were inlaid with blue flags, at this time, a large group of flag people were talking nonsense, "I heard that it was a notice posted by the ninth master, will this matter be the meaning of Zhen Wuye?" ”

"Needless to say, naturally it is Zhen Wuye's intention, isn't it Zhen Wuye's proposal to let us enter the workshop?"

"Expelled from the workshop, opened the relatives and children in the new army, and sent the family to Shengjing, which is also a bit ruthless, we will not be assessed, and we will not be this Shilaozi craftsman, go back to Beijing."

"Don't stand and talk without back pain, the ninth master said that if you don't want to be a craftsman, you can go back to Beijing, but the relatives and children still have to be dismissed from the new army, this

Isn't it back to the way it was the same? We came to Tianjin to improve the livelihood of our family. ”

"I have warned you a long time ago, don't mess around, look at the craftsmen in the workshop, who are like us?"

"Go aside, don't come as an afterthought, can you pass the assessment later?"

"I can naturally pass the test, this is not nonsense, my master has long said that I can become a teacher, I am not an afterthought, this is not an afterthought, this is not just said today, I have already reminded you, why did Master Zhen let our flag people enter the workshop? Solving our livelihood is only one aspect, the imperial court is not short of silver now, and it earned 70 million taels in the war with Japan. ”

"Hey, you save some spit, we don't have the time to listen to your nonsense, let's just say it, what should our brothers do now?"

"What else can I do? Gather a crowd of troublemakers, exile Ningguta, and enslave the armored people, the notice is clearly written, I don't think this time it seems to be a joke, don't have nothing to do. ”

"Hey, if you want me to say, do it in the military workshop, these are two portions of money and food, why bother to find it uncomfortable, isn't it just a little hard and tiring, the people can do it, but we flag people can't do it? It's just that I can't put down the shelf, I think it's okay to be an apprentice to the people, what can't I put down, for the sake of the silver of the white flowers, I have to put down everything. ”

A group of people were talking about spittle, and a person walked in quickly, and said loudly: "The latest news, the thirteenth master in Beijing began to comprehensively clean up and rectify the twenty-four flags stationed in Beijing, and the day before yesterday began to carry out the spring assessment of each flag, which was extremely strict, and the three flags that had been assessed, three percent of the soldiers failed to pass the assessment and were dismissed. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help sinking, the court seemed to be playing real this time, and the Jingshi was also rectifying with great fanfare, and after a while, someone asked worriedly: "After the retreat of thirty percent, how to solve this livelihood, it won't leave us alone, right?" ”

"Look at what you're saying, how can you say it anyway? Now that it's the navy and the new army, as well as the military workshop, we have a lot more ways out than before, but you have to have the ability to be a soldier, and you can't eat the soldier's salary, can't you still be a craftsman, and a craftsman can't do it, so you have to go back to Shengjing to farm. ”

"Shengjing said that he said, let's do it in the workshop, this job is not difficult, this assessment can't pass the test, there will be no problem after three months, as long as you are willing to do it seriously, there is really nothing we can't scoop." ..., this is true, Shengjing, although it is the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that he is used to the prosperity of Beijing and Tianjin, who would like to go back to the bitter cold place, not to mention how to go back to Shengjing to farm in the workshop?

A group of people were about to end in frustration, and another inlay. The descendants of the Blue Banner ran in and shouted: "Uncles and brothers, a great thing, just came out from the ninth master that the assessment of the Shunyi Praetorian Guard New Army has ended, and the number of 10,000 qualified people has reached more than 8,000, and those who do not pass will continue to stay in Shunyi for training without pay, and the assessment will be carried out again after half a year. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be very happy, they all have relatives and children in the Praetorian Guard New Army, originally heard that the Praetorian Guard New Army was going to eliminate half of it, but now it has only eliminated less than 20%, and it can continue to stay in Shunyi for training after being eliminated, although there is no pay, but in this way, the chance of passing the assessment is much greater, and it can also save a person's rations, don't underestimate a person's rations, there is a way to be half a child, eat poor Lao Tzu, seventeen or eight-year-old offspring, a year's ration is not a decimal.

Everyone began to discuss again, "As soon as the assessment is passed, the salary of the vest will be scooped, and the money and grain for that month will be converted into four and a half, and this year it will be fifty taels of silver." ”

"The new army of the Praetorian Guard is a new army formed by the emperor himself, of course the treatment is good, you look at the navy, the minimum salary is four taels, and there is an additional subsidy for going to sea, and in January, it is enough to scoop up six taels, and the war against Japan, do you know how much reward the navy has won? One million taels, how many people are there in the South Ocean Fleet? ”

At this time, a foreman named Tong 15 interjected: "You are still a banner man, so a little silver will squash your eyes?" Don't always keep your eyes on the silver, this is the first batch of soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, the first batch of soldiers of the Navy is now at least the first rank of the seventh grade, and the minimum treatment of the Janissary New Army is the salary of the vest, what does this mean? Holy attention! Ladies and gentlemen, everyone understands the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier, why can't they understand it when it comes to the end? (To be continued.)
