In the big tent, several other people also looked at Gu Bing curiously, after all, everyone knew that the Qin and Han families had ended up in such a field this time, although it was said that it was caused by the position of the two families, but Gu Bing personally went to testify, which made the people of the two families hate Gu Bing to the extreme.

Perhaps in the hearts of the two families, the most hated thing is not Chu Yi and Cheng Xiangwu, but Gu Bing, the person who chose to betray them.

From Gu Bing's standpoint, it is best for the Qin and Han families to cut down the grass and kill none of them, so as to avoid the Gu family being secretly retaliated against by the remnants of the two families in the future.

It is absolutely impossible for a character like Gu Bing not to be aware of this, but Gu Bing opened his mouth at this time to ask Chu Yi to let go of some people from the Qin and Han families.

Chu Yi looked at Gu Bing and said slowly, "Oh, I don't know why the head of the Gu family wants to intercede for the Qin and Han families?" ”

Gu Bing said with a straight expression: "It's not that Gu intercedes for the two families, but I implore the overseer to agree to Gu to select some people who are proficient in shipbuilding technology among the Qin and Han families, many people in the Qin and Han families are proficient in shipbuilding technology, and even most of the master craftsmen of the two shipyards are also people trained within the two families, if these people are really killed together, I am afraid that the Xiamen shipyard that the overseer ordered Gu to build will lack craftsmen!" ”

Frowning, Chu Yi nodded slowly and said: "Okay, this governor will ask you to select people who are proficient in shipbuilding from among the people of the Qin and Han families, these people have been working in the Xiamen shipyard all their lives, and they cannot be freed for a lifetime, and your Gu family is responsible for taking care of them!" ”

Gu Bing was overjoyed when he heard this, and respectfully saluted Chu Yi and said, "Gu Bing, thank you Lord Governor!" ”

In the final analysis, Gu Bingbao was also part of the Qin and Han families for the sake of the Gu family, and since the Gu family chose to stand on Chu Yi's side, they naturally wanted to have a certain status in Chu Yi's heart.

And Chu Yi handed over the Xiamen shipyard to their Gu family to take care of, this was an opportunity.

Just listening to Chu Yi's grand dream, Gu Bing knew that in Chu Yi's future territory, the shipyard was definitely an indispensable part.

However, Chu Yi wanted to build too many ships, which was by no means comparable to a shipyard, and not long ago he had learned from Fang Li that in Nanjing, a brand-new Longjiang Bao shipyard was under construction.

In other words, more than one shipyard will exist in the future, so which shipyard can build more warships and merchant ships for Chu Yi will definitely be valued by Chu Yi.

If their three shipyards of Gu, Qin, and Han are united, the scale is naturally not small, but even if the scale is large, if there is no manpower, there will not be many big ships.

However, most of the shipbuilding talents are from the Qin and Han families, and for the sake of the Gu family's future, he knew that the people who saved some of the Qin and Han families were very likely to pose a certain threat to the Gu family, but Gu Bing still chose to keep some of the shipbuilding talents.

Fortunately, Chu Yi demoted these people to hard labor for the rest of his life and could not be released, and at the same time handed them over to the Gu family to take care of.

It is conceivable that as long as the Gu family does not want the remnants of the Qin and Han families to seek revenge on them in the future, they will definitely take care of these remnants of the Qin and Han families with great care, and will only squeeze these people wantonly, but will not give these people any hope of getting out.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers came to several counties under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture, and these soldiers posted notices stating that they would recruit soldiers to join the Jing Navy, and that as long as they could join the Jing Navy, they would be directly given 10 acres of fertile land and 10 taels of silver to settle down.

Even if it is Jingying, ten taels of silver is almost equivalent to two years' military salary, not to mention that there are ten acres of fertile land, which is more precious than anything in the mountainous and watery land of Fuzhou.

It can be said that as soon as the notice came out, those poor families were almost boiling.

In this era, many sons and many blessings are emphasized, so no matter how poor they are, there are often three or five men in a family, even if it is for the ten acres of fertile land, these extremely poor people do not hesitate to give up one or two sons.

After all, even if he was extremely poor and sold himself as a slave, he might not be able to sell ten taels of silver, let alone the temptation of ten acres of fertile land.

Even if many people are reluctant to join the army, but under the temptation of Liangtian and An Jiayin, all the young and strong people in the entire Fuzhou Prefecture who meet the conditions are rushing to the recruitment points everywhere.

There are millions of people in the land of a prefecture, of which there are at least three or four hundred thousand strong people, and at least half of them are willing to join the army, which means that there are at least more than 100,000 strong people who are drafted this time.

Chu Yi was accompanied by Cheng Xiangwu at the recruitment point outside Fuzhou City at the moment to watch the progress of the recruitment.

There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, all of whom are age-appropriate and strong, but at a glance, most of these people have vegetables on their faces and their clothes are ragged, which shows how poor these people's families are.

Of course, if it weren't for the poverty of the family, I'm afraid no one would want to join the army.

Looking at the black and oppressive young men who came to apply, Cheng Xiangwu's face was full of joy and said to Chu Yi: "If there is already a temptation of good land and An Jiayin, only 10,000 people, where can I recruit for so long, I am afraid that it will be enough in less than ten days." ”

Chu Yi didn't say anything, looking at those strong people, his eyes flashed with essence, and suddenly he looked at Cheng Xiangwu Dao: "Uncle Dingwu, since there are so many strong people who are willing to join the army, you said that this governor planned to recruit 10,000 sailors before, isn't it a bit conservative?" ”

Cheng Xiangwu was slightly stunned, reacted, first showed excitement on his face, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "If the overseer can expand the army, it would be great, An Jiayin has no problem, the key needs to be allocated to the soldiers of the acres of land is barely enough for 10,000 soldiers, if the army is expanded, a large amount of fertile land will inevitably be needed, but the fertile land around Fuzhou City is not enough at all." ”

Chu Yi sighed lightly and said, "Yes, there is not enough good land!" ”

Fang Li, who was dressed in a scribe's robe, was beside Chu Yi, and when he heard Chu Yi sigh lightly, he couldn't help but sneer: "Overseer, the subordinates are willing to make a military order to the overseer, at most half a month, the subordinates will definitely be able to find 100,000 acres of fertile land for the overseer!" ”

Cheng Xiangwu immediately looked at Fang Li, while Chu Yi glanced at Fang Li lightly, nodded slightly after a long time and said, "In that case, Uncle Dingwu, you will transfer two thousand men to Fang Li." ”

Saying that, Chu Yi stared at Fang Li and said, "This governor can let you do it, but you must know that this country squire has good and evil, and this governor doesn't want to hear that you have oppressed the good!" ”

In fact, when Fang Li opened his mouth, Chu Yi knew how Fang Li raised acres of land, in this era, in the hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, many squires annexed a large amount of fertile land by various means, and it can be said that those squires who have the most fields are scattered between towns and villages.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in a county, most of which may be concentrated in the hands of those squires, so it is not difficult to raise acres.

I just want to raise 100,000 acres of fertile land, but I am afraid that I will confiscate the homes of dozens of squires, although these squires are all deserved, but without a ruthless heart, they will definitely not be able to do this.

To deal with these evil squires, Chu Yi naturally has no psychological obstacles, these people oppress the people on weekdays, and they use various means to annex the good land of civilians every disaster year, and even kill people and set fire to them.

Of course, not all of the squires are rich and unkind people in the evil township, there are also good families of poetry and books, etiquette and good families, paving roads and repairing bridges on weekdays, and giving porridge to the people in disaster years, for such squires, even Chu Yi also has respect.

Told Fang Li, Chu Yi recruited Cao Shaoqin to personally lead the Dongchang Fanzi to assist Fang Li, although there was no famous word, but Cao Shaoqin and those Dongchang Fanzi were obviously a shackle that Chu Yi added to Fang Li, with Cao Shaoqin on the side, Fang Li did not dare to do anything to those good families.

Seeing Fang Li and Cao Shaoqin hurrying away, Cheng Xiangwu looked at Chu Yi expectantly and said, "Is the Governor preparing to expand the Jing Navy?" ”

Chu Yi nodded and said: "10,000 sailors are a little less after all, originally this governor planned to recruit 10,000 first, and then expand it in the future, but now it seems that it is better to expand together." ”

Cheng Xiangwu laughed and said, "It's so good, but I don't know how many people the Overseer is going to expand the water division to?" ”

Chu Yi looked at Cheng Xiangwu and said with a smile: "Let's recruit 20,000 strong first!" ”

Although Cheng Xiangwu was prepared, he still couldn't help but be excited when he heard Chu Yi say that he had asked him to recruit 20,000 young men, if we added the seven or eight thousand soldiers he had already recruited, it would mean that the Jing Navy would reach nearly 30,000 by then.

Sometimes I have to admit that some people are really talented in some things, if Tang Yin is asked to confiscate the squire's house to raise acres of land within half a month, I am afraid that Tang Yin will be able to raise tens of thousands of acres and laugh.

However, Fang Li seemed to be born with a specialty in this area, in just half a month, several counties under Fuzhou Prefecture, with the transfer of Jinyiwei intelligence, coupled with the preliminary investigation, Fang Li spent seven days directly locking down fifty squires.

Scattered to various counties, there are almost six or seven households in a county, accounting for about 20% of the gentry in a county.

These squires are all in line with Chu Yi's requirements, they are evil townsmen on weekdays, their hands are covered with blood, and a large amount of fertile land has been annexed, and even some squires are sanctimonious squires in the open, but they are robbers who rob the people in secret.

In the study, Chu Yi looked at the information presented by Cao Shaoqin about those evil squires who were selected by Fang Li.

This is the information of Ma Xing, a squire in Yongtai County, Ma Xing is a tyrant in Yongtai County, sitting on more than 8,000 acres of fertile land, and these fertile fields are he in just ten years by cruel means from the hands of the people of Yongtai County, according to the information recorded by Jinyiwei, Ma Xing in order to annex hundreds of acres of fertile land in a small village, he actually pretended to be a bandit and slaughtered nearly 100 lives of more than a dozen households in that small village overnight, and forcibly seized other people's fertile land, so that people burned to death a dozen members of other people's families, it can be said that the lives of his hands are not less than hundreds.
