Chapter 222: I Want You to Look Good

The organization that Delis belongs to is very large, and it also has to do some profitable business, and the smuggling of iron ingots, salt, and horses here in the northern Xinjiang is the most profitable, so naturally it is also done.

So as long as Jiang Long is willing to spend money, he can buy as many iron ingots as he wants.

"What about the price?" Although Jiang Long has a little money on hand now, he also has a lot to do.

There is a big expense every day.

Delis leaned over, her slender fingers drawing circles on Jiang Long's chest, and threw Jiang Long a wink full of spring, "That depends on your performance tonight." ”

“haha!” Jiang Long lowered his head and bit Dai Lisi's white and tender ear, leaving a row of clearly visible tooth marks.

Delith exclaimed, scurrying to dodge.

Jiang Long took the opportunity to get up and strode outside, and a voice came, "I want you to look good at night!" ”

"I want you to look good!" Delis snorted unconvinced.

Coming to the front hall of the county government again, Jiang Long took out 5,000 taels of silver tickets and gave them to Xiao Fan, and asked Xiao Fan to be responsible for repairing the city wall and making shovels and other items.

And explain that the masons are paid daily wages.

If one person can't be busy, you can pick a few helpers in the county office.

Xiao Fan took the silver ticket and got up to get busy.

The denomination of these silver bills is relatively large, and they must first be replaced with fragmented copper plates, and the market wages of the masons are only a few dozen cents a day.

Today, there are fewer people, and when the number of people increases significantly in a few days, it may be difficult to replace the silver tickets.

I really can't do it, I'm afraid that I will have to go to Wangsha City, and replace all the silver tickets with copper plates and pull them back in a carriage.

Xiao Fan himself pays attention to hard work, people are more down-to-earth, cautious, of course, it is indispensable to be sleek, compared with Cheng Ze and He Zao, he is a little better in political affairs, why is he good at using soldiers, Cheng Ze is biathlon.

So Cheng Ze is generally in the center.

Xiao Fan knew that Jiang Long wanted to make results quickly, so he didn't delay at all.

Straighten out your thinking first, and then execute it right away.

He brought He Dao, the head of the soap class, as a helper.

He Dao has been working in the county government for many years, and he still has some prestige in the eyes of the people, and he should be able to improve a certain degree of efficiency.

And He Dao knew that Xiao Fan was Jiang Long's henchman, so he was very attentive to doing things.

Today's county government is not the same as in the past, and it can't even be sent down in the past.

If you can't get paid, who can be motivated to do things?

But now, it is all about the wind and fire, He Dao naturally wants to desperately keep his position, and if he wants to keep his position, he has to enter Jiang Long's eyes first.

As long as he can help Xiao Fan do good deeds, Xiao Fan will definitely say a few good words for him in front of Jiang Long.

It is not enough to find He Dao alone, He Dao naturally brought the three subordinates who want to be haode on weekdays, Guo Tie, Mi Liang, and Zheng Zheng together.

Xiao Fan left, and Jiang Long continued to discuss things with Cheng Ze.

"I want to recruit strong men in the entire Wangsha County to come and dig the river and Pingtian." Jiang Long took a sip of tea and said directly.

Cheng Ze frowned slightly, "Is the movement too big?" ”

"There's no way, Lingtong County only has a population of tens of thousands, even if all of them are requisitioned, I'm still a little little." Digging the river is definitely a big project, and there are no excavators or anything in this era, but it is just manpower, at most, it is too inefficient to drive a carriage to pull the soil.

Nothing can be done without tens of thousands of people.

"And how deep and wide do you want to dig the river?" Cheng Ze hadn't asked in detail before.

"If it is deep, at least about two zhang, the width should be different in length, I plan to dig out an artificial river, and then hand over with the Hunhe River to enclose the county seat, the outermost one is the main river, the width can not be less than twenty zhang.

The rest of the river can be flexibly set according to the area of farmland to be irrigated. ”

"Twenty zhang?" Cheng Ze was stunned, this is too wide, right?

And not just dig a river?

A river channel is not the same as a ditch that waters farmland.

The ditch is half a meter deep, and a meter wide is perfectly fine.

"Well, the reason why the digging is so wide is because I still have military considerations, and after the river and the Hunhe River surround the county in the middle, the horse bandits basically have no harm to the county, because if you want to attack the county seat, you must first cross the river.

When the time comes, the bridge will be guarded, and the horse bandits will not be able to cross at all.

Unless, of course, they dare to swim over. ”

Horse bandits can raid villages, but if they come to attack the county seat, they have to leave with one blow, and they must flee quickly, after all, they only have a few hundred people, and when the officials react, gather the soldiers defending the city and the soldiers in the county government, and recruit the people, at least a team of several thousand people can be pulled.

Even if the horse bandits are fierce, they will definitely be killed and defeated if they are dragged out of their footsteps and cannot exert the power of the cavalry.

Relying on the large number of people, the consumption also consumes the dead horse bandits, so that the whole army will be annihilated.

So the horse bandits definitely didn't dare to swim over.

Cheng Ze thought about it and nodded lightly.

"Then there is the alien army, they want to attack the county seat, they also have to cross the river, as long as they hold the bridge, or if it really can't be done, just destroy the bridge, they will lose the advantage of cavalry charge.

If they want to cross the river, they have to build ships, and as far as I know, very few people in the alien tribes can swim. ”

This has a lot to do with the geographical environment, there are not a few rivers in the northern Xinjiang grassland at all, and some of them are all very wide and large rivers.

Without a small river, the big river does not dare to go down, otherwise it is easy to be swept away by the turbulent river and drowned, and naturally no one will learn to swim.

Cheng Ze is naturally familiar with this.

"The grassland area here is large, the forest area is small, and if you want to build a ship, it is not easy, you have to cut down trees from a long distance, and then come to build a ship, but I guess the aliens are afraid that they will hardly know how to build ships, and they have no habit of fishing, and they can't row boats." Speaking of this, Jiang Long was a little thirsty, picked up the teacup and took a big sip, "Of course, they also have the tools to cross the river, sheepskin felling."

But arrows could easily pierce it, so they did not dare to cross the river with sheepskin felling. ”

Otherwise, as soon as the sheepskin felling is broken, the riders will fall into the river and drown.

I have to say that Jiang Long's deeper consideration was a bit unexpected by Cheng Ze.

Cheng Ze originally thought that Jianglong just wanted to dig up the river and open up the fields and develop this place into a granary in northern Xinjiang.

Now taking the military factor into account, it is really feasible.

"What else do you have in mind?" Cheng Ze asked again.

"There's another one, it's that there are too few people here." Jiang Long Zhengse said: "If the alien tribes are united, they can easily pull up hundreds of thousands of troops, even if there is a river block, we can't hold it, so we must have enough guards here to liliang."

I plan to make the salary and other conditions more generous, and since I have recruited people, I will not let them have the intention of returning to their hometown.

After the left and right rivers are dug up, it is the cultivation of fields, which also requires a lot of manpower.

And when the field is level, it will also take a lot of hands to plant. ”

"This jihua should be feasible." Cheng Ze planned to wait until the evening to find why not to work with Xiao Fan to support and assist Jiang Long in doing this.

This jihua is very large, and before you do it, you must hand it an excerpt first.

Let Shangguan know.

There are also skills in writing excerpts, so Jiang Long asked Cheng Ze to do it for him.

Just make your own claims.

First, it is necessary to make the project as big as possible, not afraid that the officials will misunderstand that he is bragging, and Pang Chengan, the Taishou of Sha County, will not allocate silver taels to help him.

It is better to give the officials above the impression that they are young and frivolous and do not know the height of the sky.

Second, after the project is completed, how much benefit is also magnified.

said that the sky is crazy, which makes people even more disbelieve that this matter can be done, in this way, Pang Chengan will not send his henchmen over to point fingers in the early stage, and when things have an initial eyebrow, Pang Chengan will not be able to grab much credit if he sends someone over at that time.

Of course, Lingtong County is under the jurisdiction of Wangsha County, and if things are done, Pang Chengan will also have great achievements.

Third, no matter whether Pang Chengan gives silver taels or not, he must reach out and ask for it.

And how much credit Pang Chengan can make in the future depends on how much support he has for the project.

For Cheng Ze, writing an excerpt is too simple.

It was quickly written according to Jiang Long's meaning.

Jiang Long saw it and was very satisfied, and immediately found a messenger from the fast shift and asked him to send it to Wangsha City as soon as possible.

After the excerpt is written, write the list of recruiting people.

Cheng Ze said while writing: "If you want to succeed, you have to spend a lot of silver in the early stage. ”

"I don't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to making money, I still have some solutions." Jiang Long chuckled.

Cheng Ze naturally knew Jiang Long's means of making money, and at this time it was just a slight reminder.

When it comes to making money, I have to say that after the cement was fired here, the black guards immediately made a lot of money.

The happy faces of the blackguards' minds bloomed.

In the organization, there are several projects that are very costly, which can be regarded as relieving some of the financial pressure.

Moreover, the deeds of suppressing bandits written by Jiang Long in batches were also sent to the capital and serialized by Dingsheng Newspaper.

So after Guo Fang, Cheng Gang, and Wei Huan, the reputation of the guerrilla general He Huan shone brightly!

Jiang Long spent pen and ink when writing, and wrote the process of events step by step, which is very different from the fact that it is easy to move.

Although the result is also not a loss of a single step.

But the reason for such success is that it is written in the story because of He Huan's strategic planning and the great power of several archers in the army.

Fan Ren is a chivalrous man walking the rivers and lakes, although he has killed many people, and there are many officials among them, but he has not left a handle, so there is no case record in the official government.

Jiang Long also wrote Fan Ren's name.

So Fan Ren also became famous.

Especially in the rivers and lakes, Fan Ren has become a real hero, and all the knights in the rivers and lakes do not admire the five-body throw.

The reason for such admiration is because Fan Ren has the same identity as them.

The capital is a sensation again.

Although dozens of newspapers have sprung up after the heyday, they are too different when it comes to influence.

Dingsheng newspaper industry has Jianglong, which can point out the direction of development, and other newspaper industries are just learning from the same example.

There is no way to really capture the hearts of the people like the prosperous newspaper industry.

The emperor thought of a way to deal with the prosperous newspaper industry, that is, he also set up a larger newspaper, and even distributed newspapers for free in the early stage, but the content of the newspaper did not interest the people, because the newspapers were full of positive news.

Positive news, the people are tired of watching it.

But the emperor didn't want to publish some negative news about the court, which would damage the image of the court.

Therefore, this newspaper not only failed to crack down on the prosperous newspaper industry, could not make money, but also lost a lot of money every day.

The upright emperor was greatly annoyed.
