In addition, this time there is a free activity to receive www.biquge.info coins of Pen Fun Pavilion, at this address http:
Finally, now in the middle of the month, I am shaking yΓΉ on the classification list, and I strongly ask for a monthly ticket, please vote for my brothers and sisters who have a ticket, thank you.
On June 12, the Fubune docked at the private port on the west side of the water city, where the small water city is still under construction, but the dock on the coast is already usable. Outside the city is also a hot construction site, among which there are many women, the new cigarette factory is mostly completed, and there are rows of workers' dormitories in the distance
Chen Xin stopped at the construction site for a while, glanced at the layout, and then returned directly to the school grounds. First went to the civil affairs office, which was temporarily located on the east side of the school grounds, and opened a door on the camp wall, and there was an endless stream of people in front of the door, and people who had come from all over the country to attend the reorganization meeting were reporting to the civil affairs office, and when they saw Chen Xin, they all saluted and greeted him.
Chen Xin went straight into the back hall, Liu Minyou was sitting at the table and was making adjustments to the last civil affairs organization, and when he saw Chen Xin coming back, his face eased, and he smiled at Chen Xin: "Why did you go for so long this time, is it that the emperor has given you too many benefits, and you can't move it?" β
Chen Xin smiled, went to pick up the kettle and poured water, and replied: "The hat has been given a bunch, and you have also won the praise painting general, and the actual benefits are only given some head rewards, but they are used up before they can be brought out of the Jingshi." The good news is that our military salary in the future is probably enough, Wen Tiren and Wang Tingqian agreed to give sixty percent of the total number of Denglai, and if Denglai has 1.5 million this year. We can get 900,000 yuan, excluding the cost of dotting. can get around 500,000. β
Liu Minyou has been in charge of finances for many years, and he can only get more than half of his military salary in the past. But now that the amount is large, I always feel very sorry to take 400,000 at a time.
Chen Xin knew his thoughts, and said with a smile after drinking his saliva: "It's good to have 500,000, Dongjiang Town estimates that half of them can't be obtained, and some more will be deducted in the hands of the officers, and it is good that each soldier can have the original number and two achievements." β
Liu Minyou sighed, "It's always a pity, these big officials take so much, don't they know." The Tartars are not all someone else's. β
Chen Xin found a chair and sat down, "The Tartars don't accept big officials, they also point to these people to help manage the world, but those brothers in Shaanxi are here to rob them, they torture the salary is really roasted, and putting people on the fire is like roasting a pig, which can flow out oil." This time, I visited the head of the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, and listened to them scold Zhang Fengxiang, the original secretary of the Ministry of Industry, because this person reported to the emperor when Chongzhen first took office in the second year. said that the budget of 1,000 taels was only 300 left in the workshop, and the workshop owner was greedy, and in the end there were only more than 100 taels left for making utensils. We can get fifty percent, and we have already seen Wen Ge's big face. β
"Oh, then this Fengxiang is quite upright."
"Honestly. He was a new official at that time, and he was worried about giving his predecessor a black pot, so as soon as he took office, he first poked out the previous bad things. lest he end up being implicated, and he didn't think about it. Only a few months later, Jiannu came, and several elders personally inspected the city defenses. With all the equipment in place, he was still impeached and removed from office. β
Liu Minyou shook his head when he heard this, the officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty had been completely corrupted, even if someone wanted to be innocent, they could only be squeezed out by others in the end. However, no matter how unwilling he was, he also knew that the silver came out of Jingshi, and he couldn't control it at all, so he had to scold in a low voice.
After Chen Xin finished gossiping, he saw that Liu Minyou had a pile of manuscripts on the table, grabbed one and looked at it, and sighed: "Brother Liu is really wasteful, how much paper is used, didn't he just advocate saving." β
Liu Minyou was dissatisfied: "This is a waste, then Huang Side's training team does not waste learning experience every month." β
As soon as Chen Xin heard Liu Minyou say Huang Side, he knew that there was nothing good, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Is your organization decided?" The meeting is about to start, and there are a lot of travel expenses for a long time. β
"Why isn't there a Department of Education in the institution you originally wrote?"
Chen Xin blinked, "Isn't there a mission bureau, it's just that we can manage it together, anyway, there is no mathematics, physics and chemistry, just recognize some words." β
Liu Minyou said resolutely: "No, this matter must not be handed over to Huang Side." He can teach a bunch of thoughtless fanatics, and I don't know what these people will end up in. Besides, the school in the future should do manual, mechanical, popular science, and military training, not the original simple literacy class. β
Chen Xin was surprised: "You have so many honest teaching machines? β
"Of course there are, there have been more than 100 people in two phases of science and technology classes, I only left 30 people, and the rest of those who have learned science and mechanical common sense have to go to school, the education system I have already thought about, Tunpu Academy trains children over eleven years old and chΓ©ngrΓ©n, only learn literacy, arithmetic and military training, and complete the vocational school examination in one year, which opens the account room, machinery and other technical disciplines, and then one year to enter the university, and then continue to work and study for a year if you are not admitted, and then you can get a graduation certificate after graduation."
"Got colleges?" Chen Xin touched his nose, "How much money does this cost?" β
"Vocational schools are set up in Wendeng, Laiyang, and Pingdu, and the university is set up in Wendeng, and there is only one, that is, to expand the science and technology classes, which will open courses such as popular science, mechanical principles, water conservancy, etc., do you think Huang Side's mission and education bureau is doing a good job?"
"If you don't do it, then you should set up an education department, and the mission department will send missionaries to do some propaganda and so on, but don't use too much education funds, vocational schools don't pay salaries, it's better to let them bring their own food......
Liu Minyou interrupted, "The vocational school is open next to the workshop and the mine, they can work and study part-time in the second year, but they need to be raised in the first year, how to educate you will be a pity for the silver, let them know what to fight for, wouldn't it be more effective than a few more pieces of armor." β
Chen Xin coughed dryly, "Then it's up to you, but in this extraordinary period, the cost of education must not exceed 100,000 taels per year, and the students in Tunpu also have to bring their own food from home, which can save a little bit." After Chen Xin finished speaking, his eyes rolled, and he took out a booklet and handed it to Liu Minyou, "Brother Liu, look, the army is just like that." The cost is not much, and other aspects will be saved. β
Liu Minyou took a look. Immediately jumped up, "Five battalions." Each battalion is close to 4,900 people, and there are ten first-level mobilization commands and twenty second-level mobilization commands, which is too much! The annual military salary of 600,000 yuan is not enough for your personnel expenses. β
Chen Xinzhi spread his hand, "Didn't we say that we should focus on the army." β
Liu Minyou said angrily, "This is not based on the army, so we will not have the spare strength to develop other methods." As soon as you expand your army in this way, the barracks, weapons, gunpowder, artillery, and training expenses will be added up. Each soldier has an average of at least twenty taels of silver, and according to your establishment, each infantry battalion has several hundred horses, and if you complete the soldiers' armor, the average soldier will be forty or fifty taels of silver, and the extra fifteen thousand is more than seven hundred thousand taels, and then there are the funds of your battalion headquarters management body, which are tens of thousands, plus an annual salary of seven hundred thousand. By the way, there are also training expenses for reserves and militias, and the army is 17.8 million when calculated here! Our goal this year is to accept more than 200,000 displaced people, and you have to reduce the number of people. Save some money to come out, otherwise there will be so many soldiers for you to expand your army. β
"Didn't we get a lot of silver in Dengzhou? Why is there another financial crisis? β
Liu Minyou threw out a booklet, "How can we have so much silver." We have obtained a total of more than 3 million taels of silver in Dengzhou, and the money bank will inject at least more than 1 million yuan. There are 500,000 trading companies, and dozens of tunbao will be repaired. The road has to be built for hundreds of miles, the tobacco factory is expanded, the workshop is expanded, the number of new displaced people is increasing by thousands every day, and the amount of food eaten per rΓ¬ is astronomical. β
Chen Xin touched his chin and flipped through the general ledger book that Liu Minyou had thrown, and he saw that Liu Minyou's reaction was too great, so he had to take out another one, "Okay, here's a jΔ«ng simplified version, Brother Liu, take a look." β
Liu Minyou took a look at it, and the full battalion was 4,200 people, and he was finally relieved. Chen Xin said next to him: "We can divide it into several issues, this compilation does not have to be full, in the future, we will have more money, just add people to it." However, the establishment should not change from time to time, and every adjustment of the army is a major move, and it takes a long time to regain its combat strength. β
Liu Minyou grabbed a piece of waste paper and counted it, Chen Xin stared at him a little funny, and after a while, Liu Minyou raised his head, "Each battalion turns a thousand headquarters into a shelf force." β
Chen Xin frowned and said, "Then there is a third less, and the five battalions are less than 20,000 people." β
"What you originally said was 20,000 people, in addition to these five battalions, there is also a Jimo dúlì thousand headquarters, and a separate Lushun garrison, if you add your direct subordinate institutions such as the General Military Office, the Central Military Department, the Martial Arts, and the Mobilization Headquarters, more than 25,000."
Chen Xin grabbed the paper and calculated it for a while, then raised his head and said: "Then my guards battalion needs to be fully staffed, the first and second battalions each transfer one thousand headquarters as a shelf force, the third battalion to two as a shelf force, and the fourth battalion is a mixed battalion, and it is on the Lushun side, it must be guaranteed to be full, and the mountain battalion costs a lot of money, so I will temporarily slow it down." But this is only for now, and in the future, if there is enough silver, I will gradually expand and fill the fabrication. β
Liu Min calculated for a while, first set up a shelf and then expanded in stages, so that he could barely accept it, and finally nodded. Chen Xin also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a result that everyone could accept......
In a big mansion next to the official road outside the chΕ«n Shengmen, a few tables of wine and food were set up on the courtyard of Sanjin, and a group of people with Linqing accents were replaced and drank very lively, this is Lu Chuanzong's newly bought house, and he is entertaining the fellows from Yanggu, including Dai Zhenggang, Xu Yuanhua, Huang Yuan and others who came first.
His house is a mansion with a left and right garden, which was originally the home of a wealthy merchant, and when Kong Youde and the others came, the family hid in the city and never came back. Lu Chuanzong claimed to buy it, but in fact he moved in directly, and no one came to fight for it, he planned to find the Penglai Zhixian and get the deed of the house.
"Ertun, I will stay in Dengzhou in the future, this time I have to listen to your brother Lu, if you didn't go back to Yanggu back then, you should be the boss now." Lu Chuanzong's face turned red with drinking.
Ertun was with them in Tianjin to pull fiber, and later listened to Dai Zhenggang's words back to Yanggu, continued to be a tenant, and later heard that Lu Chuanzong and others sent it, this year the family moved to Denglai, and is waiting for the division of land.
Ertun glanced at Dai Zhenggang, in fact, Ertun complained a little bit about Dai Zhenggang in his heart, if he hadn't asked for it, he wouldn't have gone back to Yanggu, and later when Dai Zhenggang came to recruit people. Ertun has a large family, unlike Huang Yuan, who is a single. So he didn't go to Weihai with him, and now Huang Yuan is about to be promoted to the general manager. The orderlies around him followed, and they also bought a big house in Wendeng, with a total of three wives and concubines, and a maid. I am far behind them compared to them, and I do have some opinions about Dai Zhenggang in my heart.
The tower-like Dai Zhenggang was gnawing on a pig's foot, but he didn't feel the loss, but said to Ertun: "People from your family, we are doing a killing business, maybe we won't be able to come back if we go on the expedition one day." More than 20 brothers came to Weihai together, and now there are only 19 people left. β
Ertun bowed his head and said: "I am willing to work hard, in the past few years in Yanggu, your relatives have your help, and your sons are doing well, we have too many families, and I sold a younger brother last year......"
Lu Chuanzong saw that Ertun was depressed, patted him on the head and said: "What are you afraid of when you come to Dengzhou now, just divide the land." There are only two buckets per mu here, there is no usury and no false claims, which is enough for the family to eat. If there is anything, just look for me and Brother Dai, no one can bully you. β
"It's just coming. The first chief said that the land could not be divided yet. β
Lu Chuanzong pointed to the side, "Look for Xu Yuanhua, he is in charge of Tunbao." I will give you the land first. β
Xu Yuanhua said dissatisfiedly: "You think I was not criticized enough last time, I was ground by my cousin the year before last." I occupied an official shop in Wendeng for him, and Lord Liu criticized me for a long time. Again. I don't care about Tunpu anymore. β
Dai Zhenggang and Lu Chuanzong asked in unison, "Why?" β
"Lord Liu has talked to me, let me be in charge of the Department of Industry and Commerce, and Tunpu will be under the control of Mo Huaiwen." Xu Yuanhua raised his head and took a sip of wine, "If it weren't for the Wendeng incident back then, how could it be Mo Huaiwen's turn in Tunpu, he was exiled in the second year of Chongzhen, and he entered the literacy class because he knew some words, two years later than me, everyone knows that Tunpu has the most power......"
After Xu Yuanhua finished speaking, Lu Chuanzong scolded: "Tunpu has always been in charge of you, how did you give it to Mo Huaiwen, what can the Department of Industry and Commerce manage, the following tobacco factories and workshops have their own supervisors, and the silver has not been from the Department of Industry and Commerce." β
Dai Zhenggang put the cup on the table and glared at Xu Yuanhua and Lu Chuanzong, "What the hell are you complaining about Mr. Liu?" You Xu Yuanhua is not taught by Mr. Liu, can you read and count? You couldn't even talk about your daughter-in-law in the village back then, but now you can manage so many people and so many things, and what is there to be dissatisfied. Do you know how to do it? β
Xu Yuanhua hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Brother Dai, don't, how dare I complain about Mr. Liu, I just can't see Mo Huaiwen's villain." β
Lu Chuanzong said nonchalantly: "If Lord Liu is doing something unfair, why can't he say it." β
Dai Zhenggang said angrily: "The matter of Wendeng shop, Xu Yuanhua just didn't do it properly, he was frank and open, how could he be afraid of people." Ertun when you should divide the land, when you divide the land, no one else has to build roads and boil qualifications, you will divide the land as soon as you come. Tell me what others think of us Yanggu people. Mr. Liu's arrangement makes sense, you still feel unfair, Mr. Liu is in charge of 100,000 people's livelihoods, and there is countless money and food in his hands, when did you see him put two in his bag. Mo Huaiwen did a good job in Pingdu, and his ability is not necessarily worse than yours. β
Xu Yuanhua's face turned red and he stopped talking to Dai Zhenggang, and Lu Chuanzong also bowed his head and said nothing, but he didn't think that Dai Zhenggang was reasonable. Over there, Huang Yuan saw that Dai Zheng was just angry, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass to persuade him to drink, and Dai Zheng drank it all in a hurry.
Huang Yuan cautiously said to Xu Yuanhua: "It's useless to say this here, how the adults make arrangements, we can do it." Isn't it like I was also transferred to the third battalion, the battalion officer is still Zheng Sanhu, where am I worse than him, and several other old brothers have also changed the battalion heads, and two of them are going to Lushun and transferred to Zhu Guobin's command. β
Lu Chuanzong answered: "Originally, they were all old brothers, and they stayed well in my battalion, and they had to be transferred to other battalion heads, I heard that this reorganization plan was made by Liu Pojun, and this person is really disgusting." β
Dai Zhenggang knocked on the table and said loudly: "This matter Lord Chen has already talked to you and me separately on the ship, this time everyone has to be reorganized, not for a certain person, our Wendeng's tactics have been improving, and it is not possible to transfer to other places after rΓ¬." Master Chen has said countless times, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, have you all become soldiers, don't you remember? Could it be that you still complain about Lord Chen? β
Dai Zhenggang's voice was a little louder, and the people at the other tables all turned their heads to look, Lu Chuanzong's head shrank, and he hurried to Dai Zhenggang's ear and whispered urgently: "Brother Dai, why are you harmful, I have a few people who dare to complain about Lord Chen, and others think that I really have a complaint when they hear it, and it is a big trouble to fall into the ears of Huang Side, Nie Hong, and Zhou Shifa." β
Dai Zhenggang knew that his voice was a little louder, and he felt unhappy in his heart, so he stood up and said to a few people: "We are all generals now, commanding those many people, always asking people to obey our military orders, but I have privately imprisoned sΔo, this matter is not appropriate, you think about it yourself." With that, he strode to the door.
Lu Chuanzong hurriedly chased him out, grabbed Dai Zhenggang and was about to explain, Dai Zhenggang directly shook his hand to stop him from talking, and then raised his face and said in a low voice: "Lu Donkey, you also know that Huang Side and Zhou Shifa, especially Zhou Shifa, many of the things they did were done in private, looking at the intelligence bureau's big fart and manpower all over Denglai, you won't use your head to think about it?" Besides, if it weren't for Mr. Liu, Lord Chen, you still don't know where to eat bran vegetables now, they would be a great favor to you. The thing arranged by Lord Chen is a military order, and we can't do anything else, so lead the troops well, and it is useless to issue a prison sentence in private, and you are complaining about Mr. Liu, Lord Chen, but there will be a lot of trouble. Whether you agree or not, what can you do if you are demoted to a small soldier as soon as the meeting opens? Don't look at Xu Yuanhua and Huang Yuan complaining now, they won't let go of a fart when the time comes, you're still a little carried away. β
Lu Chuanzong lowered his head and was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "What Brother Dai said is that my brother will pay attention in the future." β
Dai Zhenggang slowly faced, patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's right to figure it out, I don't know the price of firewood and rice, in previous years, I took more than 20 of you in Tianjin, and I felt that it was difficult, and the two adults had to manage more than 100,000 people to live, and the difficulties were not something we could imagine, if we went to the two of us, or we would have to be driven down by the people below in a month." Let's not mess with them. (To be continued.) )
