When they came to the main hall, after everyone sat down, Sister-in-law Zhen took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for everyone.

Li Yizhi looked at the beautiful sister-in-law and smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Zhen, why do you always pour tea for Boss Li first?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhen's face was blushing, and she looked at Li Yi carefully, and saw that Li Yizhi's face was as usual, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart.

She glanced at Kou Zhong and said coquettishly: "Gongzi Li is the leader of the beggar gang and has the highest status, so I will naturally serve him the first tea." ”

As the words fell, she slowly retreated.

Kou Zhong still frowned, Li Yizhi shook his head, didn't pay attention to him, but said to Tian Wen: "Mr. Tian, now that the beggar gang has become regular, and I take care of it on the bright side, some of our original industrial plans can also be implemented." ”

"Well, what industries is Yizhi going to do? To be honest, although our beggar gang has developed rapidly during this time, the consumption has also been extremely high. ”

Tian Wen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Now it's just a beggar who has just integrated Yangzhou, and tens of thousands of taels of silver have already been consumed. Although we have a lot of assets now, we can't afford to absorb such consumption. ”

Recruiting beggars, in fact, does not cost much money, mainly in the cultivation of talents.

In order to cultivate a group of backbones as soon as possible, everyone can be said to have piled up with money, and the consumption of materials is extremely high.

Li Yizhi looked at Xu Ziling, and Xu Ziling hurriedly handed the sandalwood box in his hand to Tian Wen.

Tian Wen opened it suspiciously, and there was a pile of drawings inside.

"Mr. Tian, these are the drawings I draw on weekdays, including the method of steelmaking, various lathe drawings, and various drawings of living utensils, all of which have not yet appeared in the world."

Li Yizhi said: "Needless to say, the method of steelmaking will not be lacking in weapons." The steel I have developed by this steelmaking method is not only of high quality, but also extremely productive. ”

"All kinds of lathe drawings, you may be unfamiliar, these things are to speed up production efficiency, and you will naturally understand after reading it later."

"As for the rest of the household utensils, these things are simple to produce, but in a new style, and should be welcomed by people and can make money quickly."

Tian Wen frowned slightly, and said: "Yizhi, these living utensils are okay, whether it is among beggars or homeless, you can find a lot of carpenters. But this steelmaking and lathe machine may require a large number of skilled craftsmen. ”

Li Yizhi smiled and said: "I have been prepared for this for a long time, it belongs to the Yangzhou Taishou Mansion, and there is a craftsman battalion, which has a large number of skilled craftsmen, all of whom participated in the construction of the Jiangdu Palace." I'm going to cancel the craftsman's camp later, and you can just accept it when the time comes. ”

Jiangdu Xinggong represents the peak of the level of contemporary craftsmen, and the craftsmen who can participate in the construction are all first-class masters.

It's just a pity that such talents are difficult to get the respect they deserve in this era.

Now that Li Yizhi has become a taishou, these people will naturally cheapen him.

At that time, based on these craftsmen, he can quickly improve the industrial level of the current world, not to mention inventing things like the steam engine, at least he can reach the industrial level he built in the Etian world.

Because he was born in engineering, at the beginning of the Yitian world, Li Yizhi learned all kinds of industrial technologies, but now he is just copying them.

When Tian Wen heard this, he couldn't help but smile happily, stroked his beard and said, "In this way, then I don't have any problems." ”

………………

A month has passed in a blink of an eye.

It's not long to say, and it's not short to say it's short, it's enough for Li Yizhi to do a lot of things.

First of all, he completely controlled Jiangdu County with superb means, and the county orders below surrendered one after another, and they did not dare to disobey in any way.

The second is the bandits in Jiangdu County, who have now disappeared cleanly under Luo Tong's strong suppression.

It can be said that today's Jiangdu County can be described as politically harmonious.

Because of this, Li Yizhi has gathered a very high reputation among the people.

After clearing out the bandits in the territory, Li Yizhi inspected the counties one by one to observe the people's feelings.

He found that large tracts of wasteland were being reclaimed, and there were camps for displaced people in many places, and it seemed that Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi were not lazy during this time, and his various decrees were implemented.

As soon as they returned to Yangzhou, Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi came to greet them.

In just one month, the two people who were originally white and chubby are now thin and black.

Li Yizhi praised: "Yes, this month's efforts have been seen by the official." The previous thing was written off. At the same time, in the future, the two of you will increase their income by fifty percent. ”

Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi let out a sigh, feeling relaxed, and they no longer had to worry about being settled afterwards.

Li Yizhi: "However, although the previous matter has been written off, you must not slack off, and you must increase the intensity of resettlement of displaced people." Today, when war is raging and a large number of displaced people are pouring into Jiangdu County, we must resettle them in time to avoid civil unrest. ”

Gao Shouyi was puzzled: "Taishou, there is no problem in reconciling displaced people, but there is not much money in the treasury today." Next, let's not talk about the resettlement of displaced people, I'm afraid that this month's official income will not be able to be issued. ”

Li Yizhi frowned and said, "How can there be no money?" The official remembered that when the treasury was counted, there were still more than 400,000 taels of silver. ”

Gao Shouyi was about to cry, and hurriedly said: "Taishou, my subordinates and others are not greedy for ink at all, it's really too big for us." For displaced people alone, we have taken in nearly 100,000 people this month. Not to mention the elimination of bandits, this money is simply like flowing water! ”

Xue Zhen also cried with a sad face, and said: "Taishou, now that our reputation for Yangzhou to collect displaced people has spread, it is foreseeable that more displaced people will come in the future, and if there is no money to settle at that time, the catastrophe will not be far away." ”

Li Yizhi's expression is solemn, and if the exile is good, he can naturally prosper the place; But if it is not used well, there will be all kinds of uprisings in minutes, and Jiangdu County will not be able to withstand the toss at all.

However, he could not prevent the exiles from other places from coming, which was contrary to his belief in martial arts.

Therefore, Li Yizhi must persevere, at least until after the autumn harvest.

Because of the resettlement of displaced people, the government does not do it free of charge, but converts all kinds of inputs into money and lends them to the displaced people. After the displaced people have a harvest, they will return it on time, thus forming a virtuous circle.

Otherwise, no matter how rich the family is, it can't withstand the toss.

For silver, Li Yizhi is not lacking, not to mention the share of salt drying in cooperation with the Song family, let's just say that the industry run by the beggar gang has gradually developed.

Not to mention much, there are still tens of thousands of taels of income per month.

However, he can't directly subsidize these silver to the Taishou Mansion, otherwise Yu Wenhua and a twist will buy people's hearts and plot against Yang Guangshen, and if he doesn't do it, he will be imprisoned.

"It seems that Qianzhuang's plan can be put on the agenda, and this is also an opportunity."

Li Yizhi thought secretly.

Since he can't give it directly, he will make a money bank, lend his silver to the Jiangdu County government, and take the opportunity to support the development of the money bank in turn.

With the money bank, and then find a way to obtain the right to mint coins, then he will not have to worry about silver in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Yizhi said to the two: "The matter of silver, the official has his own plans, you don't have to worry about this, just make every effort to settle the homeless." ”

Gao Shouyi and Xue Zhen hurriedly agreed, bowed down, and said, "Yes, Taishou." ”

Although at the beginning, they were taken by Li Yizhi's ferocity, so they had to surrender.

But after working together for a month, they were really moved by what Li Yizhi did and surrendered.

They used to have dreams and passions, but they gradually degenerated in this officialdom, and now Li Yizhi is awakening their former ambitions.
