326 The Beginning of the Artifact
In fact, this method is very effective, and those ordinary people who don't know a basket of big characters don't understand what morality and righteousness, and give them practical benefits in order to get their approval.
The scene of hundreds of people killed in battle at once and hundreds of burials at the same time is still vivid, but these did not stop the enthusiasm of outsiders who wanted to join the Wenchong Thousand Households, even naturalized military households.
Everyone knows that this time Wenchong Qianhu suffered heavy losses, and eight hundred people went out of Sichuan to return less than two hundred, that is to say, hundreds of places were empty at once, this is an opportunity, so a little capable everywhere to support the relationship to prepare to make up, some sturdy guys are walking around in front of the door of the thousand households in the cold wind, in order to show their strength, from time to time pick up the big stone at the door and lift it a few times.
One is to attract the attention of thousands of people, and the other is to be cold, so that you can take a look at your body.
In the troubled times, death has become a very common thing, no one knows whether they are starving to death or being hacked to death, entered the Wenchong Thousand Households, good food and good accommodation, not to mention anything else, it is easy to find a daughter-in-law, those girls heard that it was the soldiers of the Wenchong Thousand Households who asked for marriage, and they agreed to half of them before they met, and the marriage was particularly smooth, so that many soldiers of the Wenchong Thousand Households asked for a good daughter-in-law.
In these years, everything is very realistic, how is it better to eat than to starve, and to say that you can enter a thousand households, they are all good men who are one out of a hundred, and naturally become the object of admiration of girls, and Lu Haoshan never withholds military salaries, but has a lot of benefits, which has been applauded by everyone, being a soldier is dangerous, but even if you die in battle, you are not afraid, no, I heard that the soldiers who died in the battle of Sichuan this time have a pension of two hundred taels each, and those widows who have just lost their husbands have not finished the festival, and there are many young men with good conditions wandering around the faΓ§ade. I'm ready to take over.
Heavy rewards and generous sympathy, the tragic atmosphere of Wenchong Qianhu diluted, getting closer and closer to the New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, so Wenchong Qianhu is slowly showing a joyful atmosphere, Lu Haoshan has been very busy these days, preparing for the monument, compensating the fallen soldiers, and the two beauties who have been separated for a long time, but also have to arrange the recruitment of recruits, after all, those vacancies must be filled in time.
On this day, Lu Haoshan rarely had time to deal with official business in the Thousand Households. It's been gone for nearly a year, and there are a lot of things that need to keep up, but in fact, there is not much to do, that is, to check, fortunately, Li Nian is here, otherwise those official duties would have piled up long ago.
Delegation of power is one thing, trust is another, but the attribution of power is another, and Lu Haoshan's review of the work report submitted by Li Nian is a kind of declaration of sovereignty. Although Li Nian is capable, he can't be pampered, so as not to be arrogant and grow ambitions.
Half ringing. Lu Haoshan put down the case file in his hand, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Li is really talented, but the official is not there." All the qiΔ were handled in an orderly manner, and the thousands of households operated smoothly, and the official did not look at the wrong person. There's Mr. Lao Lee. β
Hearing this, Li Nian hurriedly said modestly: "Master Xie, without the cultivation of adults, there would be no students today, and this is what students should do." β
Lu Haoshan was surprised to see and pointed to some of the accounts: "Amazing, I didn't expect this year's tea and horse trading to earn 100,000 taels a year, which is simply a huge profit." β
If it is a country, there is no surprise that there is this bit of silver, but this is a merchant, or a businessman who secretly smuggles, and in the case of half of the profits, he also shares a profit of 100,000 taels, which is very scary, 100,000 taels of silver, a thousand households a year is counted as 100 taels, and he has to save for a thousand years without eating or drinking, which is a huge amount of money.
"This is the shrewdness of the Zhao family, they said that since the relationship has been opened, they will naturally make good use of it, and the tea will be shipped out here, not settled in money, but exchanged for horses, furs, all kinds of gems and other goods, and transported back to Daming to sell, which is equivalent to taking a trip to make two businesses, and the profits will come up." Li Nian said happily.
"No farming, no stability, no wealth, no wealth, this is really true" Lu Haoshan sighed: "There is not much silver in the land, and it is not a long-term strategy for the people to grab food in their mouths, if you want to make a lot of money, you still have to go out and take a long-term view, of course, connections are also very important." β
To be a businessman, no profit can not be early, what to do is to pursue profits, can make money is not a skill, can make money and protect themselves from being regarded as a "fat sheep" by others, this is called ability, the most profitable businessmen in the past dynasties are undoubtedly official businessmen, which means that there are powerful and backstage businessmen, everyone knows that the business of tea and horse trading is a million profits, but this business is not everyone can do, the first is to have the capital, and then to get the tea lead, get the source of goods, but also to ensure that the ability to deal with the official embarrassment and unofficial looting.
That is, Lu Haoshan, there is a doorway and a backer, there is the protection of Han Wendeng in the realm, and there is Sha'er Ke Wanhu Changpu Pubu when he comes out of Zitianguan, which can be said to be smooth sailing, and if he is replaced by someone else, he will definitely not be able to play.
Li Nian sighed: "Yes, the luck of the adults is too good, with the help of Commander Han, it is difficult to make money, the people of the Zhao family said that it is still in the trial stage, which is equivalent to really opening up this trade route, and in less than two years, this profit can be doubled." β
"And double? That's too profitable, isn't it? β
100,000 taels is already very good, if it doubles, it can reach 200,000 taels, and with these 200,000 taels, then there are many more things that can be done.
For the surprised expression of his own adult, Li Nian felt as if his adult had never seen the world, and said with some dissatisfaction: "My lord, although 200,000 taels is more, but this is the total income of a year, and it is not much if it is spread over twelve months, like those maritime merchants along the coast are powerful, they ran to the South Seas, more than ten big ships at a time, if the luck is not too wrong, the profit of a trip is hundreds of thousands, that is the real pig cage into the water, but unfortunately our Sichuan is located inland, and we can only blush when we see the silver of the white flowers." β
Li Nian didn't lie, Lu Haoshan also nodded thoughtfully, the second is a human being, and he naturally knows the profits of maritime merchants, but the shape is stronger than people, even if his eyes are red, it is useless, so he no longer dwelled on this issue, and asked: "By the way, how is the recruitment going?" β
"Back to the words of the adult, it is very smooth" Li Nian said happily: "We Wenchong Qianhu can be said to be prestigious, and the matter of the adult's favor to his subordinates has also spread, and many people have not recruited people to inquire about the relationship, some warriors also take the initiative to vote, some people also ask to take the initiative to join the military, in the selection of people can be said to be the best of the best, students recruit people to keep in mind the instructions of the adults, give priority to the selection of poor disciples and those homeless, strong teenagers, by yesterday has received more than 500 people, it is estimated that it will be collected for another day or two, You can fill in all the vacancies. β
"Yes, continue to recruit, we have a vacancy of 600 people, we have to prevent some people from being eliminated or quitting halfway, recruit enough 1,000, so that they can also have a competition with each other."
"Yes, sir."
After a pause, Li Nian smiled and said, "My lord, there is another good news, I wanted to sue you a few days ago, but my lord was busy with the matter of pension, so I didn't tell my lord." β
Lu Haoshan said happily: "Oh, is it? What's the good thing? β
What I like the most is to hear good things, and Lu Haoshan came to his senses as soon as he heard it.
Li Nian smiled slightly, but he didn't say it right away, and then pulled Lu Haoshan to the research institute with a mysterious face, and then asked people to take out a delicate wooden box, and then said happily: "My lord, the good thing is inside, please reveal it." β
This is Lu Haoshan as soon as he saw the shape of the box, he faintly felt something, opened the long wooden box and looked, sure enough, there was a bright fire gun lying inside, looking at the style is a newly created fire gun, as soon as he saw the firing pin behind him, Lu Haoshan smiled.
The style is a little weird, but Lu Haoshan is not weird, the most important thing is to be practical.
"This new firecracker, made?" Lu Haoshan said with some excitement.
"I made it, and I also tried to release the gun, and the power is much stronger than the ordinary bird gun."
Spare the guns?
Lu Haoshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "The bullet has been made?" β
Li Nian magically took out a pointed bullet from his sleeve and put it in Lu Haoshan's hand: "Your Excellency will know as soon as you try it." β
That's right, it's a bullet, although the shape is average, and there is no very smooth assembly line shape in later generations, but there is also its prototype, which is artificially polished, very good, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will definitely improve slowly in the future, gunpowder originates from the practice of Dan, the Taoist priest who is proficient in practicing Dan inadvertently messed with the magic of gunpowder when practicing Dan, gunpowder has begun to be used in the military at the end of the Tang Dynasty, after several generations of development, it has been very mature in the Ming Dynasty, like Xu Xiang is also proficient in refining gunpowder, and has a very deep foundation.
Lu Haoshan has a theory, and he also wrote out the principle and handed it to Xu Xiang, it can be said that I don't know how many twists and turns have been saved, if this can't be done, it is better to wash and sleep.
Looking at this bullet that he had been waiting for nearly two years, Lu Haoshan was in a complicated mood for a while.
At this time, Li Nian had already asked people to set up the target, and then motioned to Lu Haoshan to test the gun: "My lord, please try the gun." β
Lu Haoshan nodded, the fire gun was designed by himself, and he didn't need to be taught by a craftsman to quickly find the door, stuff the hard-won bullet into it, and then Lu Haoshan pulled the firing pin and prepared to shoot, at this time, Zhao Gongchang, who came to watch, came over and said respectfully: "Adult, the little one likes to play with firearms the most, and this shot is still up to the villain to try." β
It is really worthy of being guarded, in fact, this firearm is here, which one is the same, Lu Haoshan is no worse than Zhao Gongchang in terms of marksmanship, the purpose of his doing this is obviously that he is afraid that there will be an emergency danger in releasing the gun, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, and he tried to release it by himself.
Just kidding, Lu Haoshan is now a thousand households, he has the support of Han Wendeng and a lot of military exploits waiting for him, the future is limitless, if something happens in the trial, it will be Zhao Gongchang's mistake.
"Okay, you try." Lu Haoshan nodded, but no longer insisted.
Zhao Gongchang took the firecracker, weighed it, and aimed at a target of about 100 steps under Li Nian's guidance, and then pulled the trigger, and with a "bang", the target made of wooden planks made a big hole, and the power was amazing.
Yes, that's it, Lu Haoshan, who was sitting on the sidelines watching just now, stood up suddenly, clenched his hands into fists, his eyes lit up, and blurted out: "Okay!" (To be continued......)
