Guide, also known as Shangqiu in Henan Province, is one of the six largest anthracite producing areas in China, with reserves of 2oo0 million tons. The annual output is 280,000 tons. Of course, it has not entered the era of industrialization, and it is certainly impossible to mine on such a large scale, but one thing is certain, as long as it guards Guide, there will be no shortage of high-quality coal.

With an abundance of coal, there are so many things that can be done, iron-making, brick-making, heating, and even a steam engine in the future.

The more I thought about Gu Zhenhua, the happier I was: "The Central Plains is worthy of being a rich land, and it seems that it is too wise to march to Germany." Ge Craftsman, Ben Jue brought a group of craftsmen from Beijing, and asked for some from Nanjing, all of which added up to more than 1,000 people, including a few foreigners. Since Guide is so suitable here, all the craftsmen will be gathered to create a weapons production base. In the next step, An** will be greatly expanded, and it is not unusual for the number of people to be several times larger. It is no longer enough to rely on the weapons brought out of the capital, you have to build them yourself. ”

"No problem." Master Ge said with a smile: "The old man has to live in the dead, this life will be sold to the lord, I will recover a little more, and I will arrange it immediately!" ”

Xu Fang frowned at this time and said, "Sir, although it is good to return to virtue, it is not so easy to gain a foothold. ”

"What's the difficulty?"

"Over the years, Henan has been repeatedly brutalized by bandits, repeated tug-of-wars, and the people have fled and been displaced. Coupled with the disrepair of the river and the continuous floods, the people have been exhausted to the extreme. There are also dog officials like Xu Dingguo looting, which can be said to be the rich Central Plains. It's already a big drain. If you want to recover quickly, you must invest a lot of silver and food, I'm afraid Nanjing can't get it, right? ”

"They can't take it out. I can handle it! Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "There is nothing else, Benjue has more than one million loads of grain in his hands, six million taels of silver, and a large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, if you add the field products, it will all be counted." At least more than 12 million. ”

"How much?" Xu Fang's eyes almost fell, the Ming Dynasty only paid so much in a year, how could this Gu Jue get so much money!

Gu Zhenhua looked at them in surprise. was also very proud, and said with a smile how he robbed and looted, Xu Fang was like listening to a book from heaven, and opened his mouth widely. It's almost enough to stuff a goose egg.

"Sir. You're saying that you got a total of 15 million, and as a result, you spent millions just to dismiss those veterans, how can you be such a loser! ”

"It's not all, you have to recruit, you have to train, and you have to eat."

"That's too much, money can't be spent like this!" Xu Fang said unceremoniously: "Sir." You give me this money, don't say a Guide to the government. Even if it's the whole of Henan, I have a way to restore my life! ”

Xu Fang's eyes were sharp, staring at Gu Zhenhua with an extremely firm attitude.

"Hahaha, Mr. Xu, how about we make a bet, if you can make the Guide Mansion look new within three months, I will appoint you to be the chief financial officer of the General's Mansion, and all expenses will go through you."

"No problem, let's see." Xu Fang was also gearing up, and said with a smile: "Xu Mou read the book of sages, and he looked forward to having the opportunity to save the people and the water and fire, and the lord gave me this opportunity, and I will definitely do a good job." Now Henan is full of disaster victims, as long as there is food, there is no worry about finding manpower. Build an ordnance factory, repair the city, control the river, and reclaim the fertile land, Xu has all these things! ”

"Good!" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "I'll just watch Mr. Xu show his talent." But before we do that, we have one more thing to do. ”

Gu Zhenhua said and took Xu Fang and Ge Craftsman's hands, strode out of the mansion, got on the war horse, and came to the cross street.

At this time, the entrance of the street was already surrounded by water, and countless people who watched the excitement gathered around, including nobles wearing silk and farmers wearing coarse cloth.

In the middle of the crowd, at the intersection of the roads, a temporary high platform has been temporarily erected. All around were protected by soldiers, and after Gu Zhenhua came, he took the lead on the high platform.

"All the blind date fathers and elders of Guide, it has been three days since Ann ** entered Guide, and the original chief soldier Xu Dingguo has been caught by me, I think everyone knows that in the past three days, the people who are cutting the Xu family every day, only the old man Xu Dingguo has stayed to this day. Benjue wants to leave him to everyone, so that everyone can cut this old traitor with a thousand knives, do you say it's good! ”

"Good!"

Gu Zhenhua's voice fell, and the people below shouted, and the love was boiling to the top. After catching Xu Dingguo, his family property was confiscated, and in addition to finding more than 200,000 taels of silver, the most was the land deed, with a total of 730,000 mu.

Most of these fields were acquired in the last two years. The old thing also has a strategy for grabbing the fields, and he first tried to test it at a high price. Whoever resolutely refuses to sell his land will be framed and slandered as a thief. Arrest all these people, or even behead them directly.

When other people see it, they will be afraid, and some people will take the initiative to ask the old thing to buy the land, and then Xu Dingguo will lower the price and eat the land at a very low price. In order to annex the land, the old thing even did the slaughter of the village and even the town. Anyway, the army is in chaos, and no one can take care of him.

But now it's not going to work, Gu Zhenhua turned over all these old accounts and decided to return the land to the people. When the land is the lifeblood of the Chinese. Xu Dingguo robbed, Gu Zhenhua gave, the difference is obvious, who is good and who is bad, the people have an account in their hearts.

Now as soon as I heard that I was going to cut the old man with a thousand knives, the love of the big guys came up, and they were eager to try.

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and asked people to drag Xu Dingguo up, and in only three days, Xu Dingguo had changed a lot. His head was all white, his face was wrinkled, and his tall body was hunched over, like an ordinary old man, and he no longer had the momentum of the past.

"Mr. Xu, it's been three days, Benjue has people slashing your relatives and wife in front of you every day. Daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter. Great-grandson. After killing, I also concocted their heads with lime and sent them to all parts of Guide for your old subordinates to see, I don't know how you feel? ”

Xu Dingguo's already dull eyes suddenly flashed out, and the old guy struggled, gritting his teeth and pounced on Gu Zhenhua.

"You don't have to die well. You're a beast! ”

"Hahaha, Xu Dingguo, do you still have the face to accuse Benjue. I'm just doing what you do every day. You ask the people of Guide, how many people have you harmed, how many people have you harmed, how many people have you harmed? And that's not all. You also collude with the Tartars. Give them food, let them eat enough, and then come to rob the Central Plains. You're the stuff of beasts! ”

Gu Zhenhua said, handed a dagger into Xu Fang's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, the old man caught you as coolies and almost died, this first knife will start with you!" ”

"Okay!"

Xu Fang clutched the dagger tightly in his hand. He stared at Xu Dingguo viciously and sneered: "Old thing." The official's hands, originally only holding a brush to write, were forced by you to carry a bamboo basket and carry charcoal. It is thanks to you that this official will not only hold a pen, but also a knife, and your retribution will come! ”

Xu Fang said, slashed the knife and slashed at the old thing's Adam's apple, and suddenly blood gushed out, and the old thing desperately opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't spit out a word, and his throat made an ugly grunt.

Master Ge also took the dagger at this time: "Ten fingers to the heart, the old man will cut off your claws!" ”

With a wave of the dagger, a finger fell on the high platform, and jumped up and down a few times on the stage.

At this time, Gu Zhenhua was on the high platform and said loudly: "Revenge for revenge, revenge for wrongs, leave the opportunity to the big guy." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt, which instantly detonated the audience, and everyone desperately squeezed forward, wanting to come to the stage and do it themselves.

"Old horseman, you robbed my land, robbed my woman, today grandpa cut you a piece of meat!" A beggar in rags was the first to rush forward.

He cut Xu Dingguo's shoulder with a knife, and a piece of meat weighing more than two taels was cut off. The beggar wept as he shoved the meat into his mouth and munched on it, tears rolling down his eyes like pearls.

"you, I've got revenge!"

More and more people were excited, desperately rushing up, more and more people in the city heard the news, everyone's enthusiasm was extraordinarily high, even Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but sigh, it's not difficult to offend someone, the difficult thing is to offend people all the time, and offend so much!

The activity of slashing Xu Dingguo alive lasted for a day and a half, and finally the old thing was cut to nothing, leaving only an intact head, and the rest of the bones were separated.

This day is more than a day, Juzhou is like a festival, every family sets off firecrackers, there is no set up a bunch of bamboo, crackling and burning, fireworks are around, so lively. The resentment that was depressed in his heart finally spit out, and the big guy was relieved.

An **, who helped the big guy take revenge, also became everyone's idol in an instant, and his prestige skyrocketed. Coupled with the strict discipline and fair trading, it was accepted by the people in a few days.

Speaking of which, the people's requirements are not high, you have big fish and big meat, you always have to leave a little nest for others, if you can't do this, don't care how long you are entrenched, just like Xu Dingguo, rolling soup and pouring snow, disintegrating the ice.

Just after cutting off the old thing, Gu Zhenhua gathered all the people and announced a new policy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a long war, the city is ruined, the fields are barren, and many people are hungry. In order to restore the prosperity of Germany and let everyone live and work in peace and contentment, Benjue decided to implement the strategy of cash-for-work. Anyone who can't eat, all can find An**, we arrange all kinds of work for everyone. Within half a year, only food will be provided, and after half a year, if you do a good job, you will receive a salary of three denins of silver a month. If you have special skills, you can sign up directly, and you will be offered different salaries depending on the level. However, I can tell you that among the best people in An**, the current highest salary is the master of weapons, Ge Craftsman, who can receive a basic salary of sixty taels every month, and every qualified firearm he produces can be mentioned as five coins of silver, and there is no upper limit! ”

Gu Zhenhua's words were even more violent than letting everyone chop Xu Dingguo. Juzhou, the whole Guide, and even Henan are full of people who can't eat, not to mention that there are still wages, even if there is none, as long as they can eat enough, how many people will break their heads.

"Grandpa Guo, do you want anyone?"

"That's right, the elderly and children are no exception, in addition to physical work, there are also feeding pigs and sheep, sewing clothes, and making military uniforms. All in all, as long as you work sincerely and follow Ann** sincerely, Benjue will not let everyone go hungry! ”

"Sir, I'm not a hungry person, but I can strike iron, do you want it?"

"Yes, of course, there are so many charcoal in Juzhou, and Benjue wants to make steel, knives and guns, and farm tools here. If the technique is good, like the craftsman, it is not a problem to take dozens of taels, or even hundreds of taels. ”

"Great! Grandpa Guo, I'll give you my life! ”

……

The common people were elated and discussed, and those who were poor and had a skill were all tempted. Just after Gu Zhenhua announced, they all flocked to various registration points and lined up in long queues.

Xu Fang's body has not fully recovered, but he has also worked tirelessly, numbering and sorting these people, and then grouping them, and various projects have begun to take action.

"Sir, in five days, 13,600 people have signed up, and more and more hungry people from all over the country have heard the news."

"Mr. Xu, are there any difficulties?"

"Yes, isn't this just waiting for your help!" (To be continued......)
