readx;?? Zhang Jiashi planned to build a relatively small water purification distillation device and install it in the army. www.biquge.info However, it is not difficult to miniaturize such a tool, but the water used for distillation is too little, and the distillation speed is relatively slow.

Zhang Jiashi tossed for a few days, and finally had to give up the plan to install this distilled water device because of the poor practicability of this distillation device.

After all, once the cost paid is completely out of proportion to the gain, Zhang Jiashi can only give up his plan at this stage. Because Zhang Jiashi didn't have much interest in doing this kind of thankless work.

............................................................ Dividing line ............................................................

In the following days, for Zhang Jiashi, in addition to a winter that was not too cold and had to deal with many things, Zhang Jiashi basically stayed in his own home and tried his best to be a competent husband for his wives and concubines.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi would occasionally go to the barracks of a few recruits to test the training results of these recruits.

According to Zhang Jiashi's original plan, he hoped that after the initial training, these new recruits would follow other units to conduct actual training and learn about the corresponding situation in the army in a way that the old and the new were brought in. However, Zhang Jiashi ignored one situation, that is, many of his recruited recruits were ordinary Qiantou, and many problems arose during the initial training.

Zhang Jiashi looked at the casualty reports that appeared every day, and he did feel quite confused at first. Because according to his understanding, the training of new recruits and the related facilities in the barracks have simplified many dangerous contents, such as rock climbing, or actual combat drills.

However, in the face of this kind of casualties that should not occur in his eyes, Zhang Jiashi was incomprehensible.

And Zhang Jiashi knew the reason, that is to say, these personnel who have basically never been soldiers are fundamentally incomparable with the original troops or border county officers and soldiers in this regard.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Jiashi could only temporarily extend the time for basic training, so that these recruits could carry out corresponding training in more depth.

In a sense, Zhang Jiashi is also very clear that if he does this, it may not be effective, but it is much better than doing nothing.

Moreover, if these poorly trained troops were to fight on the battlefield, not to mention what would happen to them, the situation that was very likely to collapse at the first touch made Zhang Jiashi feel that he had shuddered.

......

In contrast to the military problems, that is, although Zhang Jiashi's newly built brewery, the products produced are not only a big seller, but also basically out of stock.

The profit sharing in Dingxiang City is almost saturated. However, there are constantly hopes that the corresponding quota can be given, and Zhang Jiashi's income may be reduced, but this is not to say that Zhang Jiashi has no profits to earn.

Through Chen Ping's arrangement, the agency sales rights that were constantly outsourced became Zhang Jiashi's winery and the largest source of trade volume.

Although it can't be regarded as a day's gold now, it's not a problem to say that it's going to be a day in gold.

In many ways, the average profit of the products produced by this distillery is even greater than that of the fine salt trade that is now considered large. For Zhang Jiashi, this is the main source of income.

Most of the profits that were apportioned were converted into military spending and government affairs by Zhang Jiashi.

At present, Liaodong County, it can be said that many places need to invest a lot of financial resources and manpower to complete the construction goals that Zhang Jiashi said.

Of course, trying to develop a prototype liquor with a relatively high alcohol content, and after distillation, the purified liquor with a higher degree is a very important issue that Zhang Jiashi now considers.

Judging from the current situation, although the expenditure of the entire General Zuo Mansion in Liaodong County is quite huge, relying on its own weak tax revenue alone will not help at all, but after increasing the trade of two profiteering products, the revenue and expenditure of General Zuo's Mansion can at least achieve a relatively loose balance of revenue and expenditure.

Of course, the few powerful or small families that have been confiscated have gained quite a lot of benefits, and it is also another important factor in the balance of income and expenditure in Liaodong County. Maybe these families or Haoqiang, the accumulation of more than ten years is not rich, but in the case of accumulating a small amount, the total income of nearly 2,000 gold makes Zhang Jiashi and the main officials of Chen Pingzuo's General Mansion temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.

......

Zhang Jiashi's military expenditure has now become one of the most important items, not only referring to the originally high salary expenditure under Zhang Jiashi's command, but also various standard meals three times a day, the corresponding ordnance, grain and grass equipment, and the purchase and production of war horses and equipment, which have become the sum of Zhang Jiashi's current expenditure that occupies a very large proportion.

At this time, Zhang Jiashi realized what a money-burning thing his arrangement was. He immediately understood why Ying Zheng had to think for a long time before he could give him an answer.

Because even Ying Zheng, seeing Zhang Jiashi's way of burning money, couldn't help but have some murderous impulses.

At this time, Zhang Jiashi was finally able to realize a truth that has been passed down for thousands of years:

"I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't care about it. ”

Zhang Jiashi couldn't help muttering this sentence in a low voice.

Because of the current Liaodong County, not only the regular army of more than 40,000 people requires a lot of expenses, but also the corresponding construction and personnel arrangements of many new villages, small towns or small towns are also quite expensive.

In a sense, although the treasury of Zhang Jiashi's General Zuo's Mansion did not starve to death of mice, there was one thing, Xiao He smiled helplessly, that is, a lot of money or other materials that were transported to the warehouse from many aspects were taken out before he could cover the heat.

In a sense, Xiao He has seen what it means to spend money like running water. But Xiao He knew very well that these expenses were something that many of General Zuo's mansions could not save. Military spending, the corresponding construction costs, the corresponding material purchase costs, the three projects are not at all a place where you can save money casually.

Not only food, because the weather is getting colder and colder, Zhang Jiashi even had to order Xiao He and others to buy a large amount of linen or fur, make a large number of clothes, and then make overall arrangements according to the corresponding situation.

In a sense, Xiao He didn't want Zhang Jiashi to do this, because in his cognition, no monarch would do such a thing before.

Therefore, when Xiao He distributed the corresponding materials, he revised the records of some things, that is, many materials were lent out instead of given to others for nothing.

Maybe if you do this, it will increase the workload of many people. However, as Zhang Jiashi's General Zuo's Mansion and the justifiable financial steward, Xiao He did not have that kind of overflowing sympathy.

However, Xiao He can also understand why Zhang Jiashi did this, so in many cases, for some Qiantou who migrated over and were relatively poor, Xiao He's calculation method is an interestless record. In other words, the leaders who really don't have much money don't need to pay the not-so-high interest like most other people.

Such an arrangement is in conflict with some laws of the Great Qin Empire, but in many cases, Xiao He is not such a ruthless person, he knows very well that getting the hearts and minds of these newly relocated Qiantou is quite important to Zhang Jiashi and General Zuo's Mansion. In this case, Xiao He adopted the method of cash-for-work to let these leaders repay their debts with manual labor for a period of time.

This is an important factor in the construction of many places that did not take too long to complete.

Of course, this approach was not thought up by Zhang Jiashi or Xiao He, but in the corresponding laws of the Great Qin Empire, there are quite clear clauses on cash-for-work.

What Zhang Jiashi and Xiao He are doing now is just to amend the corresponding terms, and then implement them according to their actual needs.

In many ways, this approach can be regarded as a win-win and reciprocal way.

Because many Qianshou don't need to worry too much about the food and clothing of themselves and their families this winter, and Zhang Jiashi's Zuo General's Mansion has also got the benefit of many facilities that need to be built and completed quickly.

It was like the northern Xinjiang branch line to the south of the current Liaodong Peninsula, and several small cities that could accommodate between 5,000 and 10,000 people. In this way, the project was completed in a short period of time.

.................................................................. Dividing line ......................................................

Perhaps, the heavens did not want Zhang Jiashi's life to be more comfortable, and one day in March of the first year of Qin II, that is, in January 210 BC, Zhang Jiashi received a report from Han Xin that more than 30,000 prisoners had been sent to Liaodong County.

Well, in the face of this situation, Zhang Jiashi suddenly became calm, because these prisoners can be assigned to Liaodong County, at least they will not be prisoners for minor crimes.

If something went wrong, Zhang Jiashi could even predict that this situation would not be easy to solve at all.

"Zhao Gao!!" Zhang Jiashi said this viciously, because the other party wanted to use these prisoners to drag down Liaodong County, which had gradually improved.

However, Zhang Jiashi then also thought of a situation, that is, these prisoners had more advantages than Qian Yuan in many aspects. Although military discipline is a big problem because of the convict army formed by these convicts, in many cases, once these convict armies become elite, the combat effectiveness that bursts out is no worse than that of the regular army, and even stronger than that of ordinary troops.

Moreover, Zhang Jiashi was very puzzled, according to reason, it was impossible for Zhao Gao not to know that he had become an expert who could effectively solve this kind of problem in a sense, and the other party sent these prisoners over, maybe there was trouble, but this kind of trouble was not a big deal for Zhang Jiashi.

"What are they going to do?" Zhang Jiashi was puzzled. However, now is not the reason to think about this carefully.

In the next arrangement, Zhang Jiashi used the three convict armies that had been formed and reorganized to suppress the formation, and educated the more than 30,000 new convicts.

Zhang Jiashi has always had the intention of reclaiming wilderness in the area along the Great Wall to form an agricultural reclamation area that is more effective in reducing the pressure on military rations. However, due to various considerations, Zhang Jiashi has not made corresponding arrangements until now.

Of course, after the arrival of these more than 30,000 prisoners, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that the opportunity to try the effect of this method had finally arrived.

In Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, a large number of prisoners were scattered in the plains inside and outside the Great Wall with no more than 500 people in a region, and the military cantonment system was carried out.

Of course, with the current weather, it is impossible to plant or harvest.

What Zhang Jiashi asked these prisoners to do was to use their labor force to build projects similar to collective farms.

In order to make these prisoners give up some ideas or practices that he did not want to see, Zhang Jiashi asked Li Cang and other officers of the prisoner army to inform these prisoners who had been dispersed and arranged that they only needed to work in this place or in the area where they needed to work, and when the sentence was over, these prisoners could settle down here and become an ordinary person, and he and the corresponding personnel would not interfere too much.

Many prisoners did not believe what Li Cang and others said, because although their crimes did not lead to death, many of them did not become prisoners once or twice, and in many senses, the prisoners who also lost their families or could not return home lacked trust in others.

However, in the various ...... of Li Cang and others Well, with all kinds of efforts and various attempts, many prisoners have been taken by these "seniors" or "juniors", and the actions of reason are very effective.

However, due to the large number of these new prisoners, Zhang Jiashi was a little uneasy, so he transferred hundreds of people from his own prisoner army, and cooperated with the managers selected from the new prisoners, and mixed them into the managers of each farm.

In a sense, Zhang Jiashi did fulfill his promise to these new prisoners, that is, he would not interfere with these prisoners too much.

At the same time, Zhang Jiashi also transferred more than 2,000 people from the more than 30,000 prisoners, and after mixing the prisoner army again, he formed a 5,000-member prisoner army.

Li Cang continued to be the captain of the Prisoner Army, and through his own efforts, Duo Bu finally became one of the five two or five hundred masters in the Prisoner Army.

The current prison army is composed of 5,000 men, divided into five units, and their commanders are:

The commander of the first team was concurrently served by Li Cang, assisted by two five hundred masters.

The commander of the second team was Duane, who was originally a 500 master of the first team, and was also assisted by two other 500 masters.

The third team is Di Bu, after knowing that he was reinstated, Di Bu said a sentence that made Li Cang speechless: "Now I finally have the confidence to ask Wu Ji for a kiss......"

Well, in the face of his "big brother" behaving like this, Li Cang didn't know whether it was good or bad for Zhang Jiashi to reinstate the Dubu official.

The fourth team is Tong Jun, a bandit who was arrested in Sanchuan County, if it weren't for the fact that in addition to the traitors among his subordinates, the county soldiers who were responsible for the capture would probably not pay a price, and it is estimated that they would not be able to help this fierce bandit.

The thing that made Zhang Jiashi feel very strange was that Tong Jun didn't seem to have killed anyone.

No matter what the situation is, a person who really deserves to die will not come to this place to suffer, and besides, if Li You wants to trap him, he will not send someone who is not a person with such an identity to do so.

The last person was a thin-looking man. His name is Lekuan.

What surprised Zhang Jiashi was that this man's cultural level, and even his understanding of military strategy, were very high. And Bai Qi said his guess, that is, this person named Le Kuan should not be a member of the Le clan.

Zhang Jiashi didn't think of who the Le clan was referring to for a while, and Bai Qi said very calmly: "Then Le Yang and Le Yi, you always know each other, right?"

Well, after hearing Bai Qi say this, Zhang Jiashi remembered that during the Warring States Period, Le's, as one of the famous general systems, had been guiding the direction of Warring States history in many cases.

Without Leyang, even if it was replaced by Wu Qi to attack Zhongshan, it would not be enough to achieve Leyang's exploits, and if Wei wanted to become the strongest country in the Warring States Period, I am afraid it would take more effort.

Without Le Yi, King Yan Zhao wants to solve the great joy, but it is indeed King Qi Min who has the capital to do so, and it is estimated that it is not so easy.

In addition, it is said that Le Yi is one of the people who recommended Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po, if this matter is serious, I am afraid that Le Yi will not use his reputation to risk and recommend Zhao Kuo, who is "useless and simple to talk about".

Zhang Jiashi asked Bai Qi about this question: "General, did Le Yi die in the Battle of Changping?"

"Is there a difference between dying and not dying? On the contrary, I am not afraid of Le Yi, if Le Yi sends troops, I can guarantee that the Zhao State will be destroyed at that time. Bai Qi's tone was calm.

Zhang Jiashi asked puzzledly: "Why?"

"Because Le Yi is very likely to break through directly and return to Handan, when the time comes, I only need to put a large number of Zhao troops back to Handan, besiege but not attack, I see what Zhao Guo will take out to feed more than three or four hundred thousand soldiers and civilians. Bai Qi said something that made Zhang Jiashi speechless.

Because Zhang Jiashi never thought that Zhao Guo would be miserable in the later stage of the Battle of Changping.

However, regardless of Le Kuan's identity, after the 1,000-person team of the five convict armies was reorganized and the corresponding training began, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that this problem was temporarily solved.

.................................................................. Dividing line ......................................................

Sometimes, the plan is not as quick as what actually happens, when a caravan selling fine salt was attacked by unknown people in the territory of Minzi Korea on a late January day in late January 209 BC.

When Zhang Jiashi knew the news, Yingxi beside him saw Zhang Jiashi's stunned expression, and the eyes of his eyes revealed a trace of essence.
