Chongzhen said: "In short, buy all the houses and land that can be bought. ”

"Commandment." Ma Mingluo nodded and said, "Holy Lord, there is one last matter, the minister doesn't understand why he still has to take out part of the firearms order and hand it over to the Hubu Arsenal and a dozen other small workshops?" ”

After saying this, Ma Mingluo said again: "The minister made a special trip to the Hubu Arsenal and the dozen or so small workshops to see, the Lu Mi Gong they produced cannot be compared with the Daming Arsenal at all, and the price is still expensive, the Lu Mi Gong made by the Daming Arsenal is only quoted for two taels of silver, but they have to sell it for three taels!" ”

"Then give them the order too." Chongzhen said, "People have no foresight, they must have near-term worries." ”

As soon as he said this, Ma Mingluo immediately reacted: "Is the saint worried that after the Daming Arsenal monopolizes the supply of firearms, it will be shoddy?" Will the quality of firearms deteriorate over time? ”

"Definitely." Chongzhen nodded and said, "People are inert, and the same is true for factories." ”

"So we have to train competitors for the Daming Arsenal, and we must let the Zhan family understand that they are not irreplaceable, so that they can always maintain a humble attitude and do things seriously."

In fact, there is another reason, Chongzhen did not tell Ma Mingluo.

That is, Chongzhen pointed to the arms industry to drive industrial development.

So only relying on the driving effect of the Ming Arsenal, there must not be a dozen arsenals together to drive the effect well, for the industrial development of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen is really heartbroken.

Thinking of industrial development, Chongzhen also thought of the industrial and commercial silver number.

At that moment, Chongzhen asked: "By the way, has the industrial and commercial silver account opened?" ”

"It's been open for a long time." Ma Mingluo said, "Zheng Zunqian is already preparing to build a shipping shipbuilding silver. ”

"Already open?" Chongzhen was stunned, and said in his heart that he was indeed a little incompetent as an emperor, and he didn't personally attend such a big event to stand down.

Wang Chengen probably reported it to him.

However, at that time, he only cared about building the pipe, and he didn't care about it.

After a pause, Chongzhen then asked: "Are there many workshops that come to the Industrial and Commercial Bank to seek shares?" ”

"Holy Lord, that's really not ordinary." Ma Mingluo said with a smile, "The industrial and commercial silver number is full of people every day, and even the workshop owners in Songjiang, Hangzhou and Yangzhou come to seek shares. ”

"Good." Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The curtain has been lifted on the development of the handicraft industry.

……

It was fast approaching the end of October.

Xu Yingwei has been training for more than half a month with 270 soldiers of the Xu clan in the east of his grandmother.

After more than half a month of basic training, the queue has walked decently, but memorizing the new book of performance is a headache, and these illiterate peasant men really can't remember.

But if you can't remember, you have to remember.

If you can't memorize it, you must memorize it.

Otherwise, you won't be able to go to the battlefield at all.

So Xu Yingwei can only teach sentence by sentence.

After today's morning training, as usual, it was another random inspection order.

Xu Yingwei's eyes swept over, and the 270 Xu children in the queue suddenly felt hot in their butts, especially Xu Wuniu, who had just been beaten by twenty boards yesterday morning.

However, whatever you are afraid of comes.

Xu Yingwei said sharply: "Xu Wuniu! ”

"Here!" Xu Wuniu subconsciously took a step forward and responded loudly.

Xu Yingwei said in a deep voice: "The second part of the new book of performance, the concise terms of the order, the general provisions, the back!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Wuniu agreed and recited, "Where our ears only listen to the trumpet, where our eyes only look at the order flag, and at night we see the three-color lights!" ”

"If a certain color flag is erected and moved, it means that a certain battalion is ready to attack, and when the trumpet and drum sound, they will immediately go into battle, and they are not allowed to listen to the words spoken by the mouth and move without permission."

"Even the Lord shall speak with his mouth, and shall not move."

"If you should enter with a drum, you must enter even if the river in front of you blocks the way."

"If the trumpet sounds, even the sword mountain and the sea of fire will rush forward!"

"If the rallying horn sounds, even if there are mountains of gold and silver in front, we must retreat!"

"Ken is like this, everyone is an eye, an ear, a heart, no thief can be killed, no slave can be destroyed, and what merit can not be made!"

"Okay, get in the ranks!" Xu Yingwei nodded happily.

The stupid cow finally memorized the second general rule.

Xu Wuniu let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated to the queue.

Xu Yingwei's eyes swept again, and he said, "Xu Laohu!" ”

Another strong man no less sturdy than a black ox came out: "Here!" ”

Xu Yingwei said: "The third chapter of the new book of performance, military law, back!" ”

"Yes." Xu Laohu's recitation progress was much faster than Xu Wuniu's.

"There are only a few heroes in battle, and every time they win the first rank, there are often dozens of hundreds of people fighting for ......"

"Whoever retreats from battle, Xu Shi will cut off the ears of those who retreat; The captain flinched, and the captain cut off his ears; If the captain retreats, the captain will cut off his ear......"

"Anyone who ambushes a soldier, who can't afford to meet a thief or who gets up early, will be beheaded with the captain of the army! Twenty silver pension rods were deducted from each soldier's salary! ”

"Everything, one person takes the lead, nine people do not save the order to die, nine people are beheaded! Whoever is the first to be besieged, and the other besieged, and the other besieged......"

It's stuck, and I can't carry it anymore.

The more anxious Xu Laohu was, the more he couldn't remember.

Xu Yingwei's face fell, and he said sharply: "Drag it down, fight twenty!" ”

When the two divisions on duty stepped forward, they couldn't help but pick up Xu Laohu and come to the side of the drying field, and then in front of the onlookers, they took off their pants and revealed two big black cheeks.

The mother-in-law and children around laughed, and the women blushed one by one.

Xu Laohu's black face was also flushed, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Because they have already learned Xu Yingwei's methods, who can withstand this with ten rods for every sound?

"Smack! Syllable! The jujube wooden board hit Xu Laohu's black cheek one by one, and there were blood stains in only two strokes, and the flesh and blood were blurred in ten strokes, but Xu Laohu still didn't say a word.

After twenty canes, the two divisions were ready to step forward to help.

"I don't need to!" Xu Laohu got up on his own and limped back to the queue.

Xu Yingwei said: "This morning's training subject is still a mountain weight-bearing march, and all of them have ......."

Before the words fell, the third brother Xu Yingxiong suddenly rushed over and shouted: "Big brother, dad told you to go back, the uncle of the Huangtanshi family is here, hurry up." ”

"Got it." Xu Yingwei agreed, and said, "Xu Yinglong." ”

Xu Yinglong, who was named, took a big step forward and responded loudly: "Here!" ”

"This morning's training, it's up to you to return to the team." Xu Yingwei went home after speaking.

When I returned home, I saw Shi Jiuke, the eldest brother of his wife's mother's family, also wearing a shirt.

"Lord Xu." Seeing Xu Yingwei walking in proudly, Shi Jiuke quickly got up and threw himself to the ground.

The two of them are both Xinchang County Xue's Liao Shan Sheng, but also Lang's uncle's in-laws, put aside Shi Jiu can look down on Xu Yingwei, because the Huangtan Shi family is the southeast Wang family, since the ancestor Shi Fen moved into Shiniu Town, thousands of years of prosperity, since the Ming Dynasty is also a scholar of the Lang endless, and Jinshi is countless.

Xu Yingwei's father-in-law, Shi Zhengwen, is a famous scholar of science in the southeast.

Seeing a grandmaster like Liu Zongzhou, Shi Zhengwen can also have a seat.

So when Shi Sanniang married Xu Yingwei, she really married.

However, time has passed, and in only one year, Xu Xiucai, who still had to rely on the old Taishan family, has turned into a terrifying existence that even the county lord has to look up to.

Therefore, Shi Jiuke would never dare to have the slightest support.

Xu Yingwei does not have the bad habits of bureaucrats.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Xu Yingwei affectionately helped Shi Jiuke up, and said with a smile, "You and I are both classmates in the county school and Uncle Lang, why are you still polite?" ”

Shi Jiuke immediately showed a smile on his face.

It's good, it's still the same Xu Xiucai as before, and he didn't put on a score because he was ambitious.

On the contrary, Xu Shiyi, who was accompanying him next to him, was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that since Xu Yingwei became a big official, he should have the first-class prestige of a big official, how could he be so unpretentious? If there is no shelf, is it still a big official?

After a few words of greeting, Xu Yingwei asked directly: "Big brother, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"There's a real one." Shi Jiuke nodded and said, "You Zhen you also know, I gave up the idea of scientific research three years ago, and I only wanted to break into the business sea." ”

"I know that." Xu Yingwei said, "Aren't you planning to grow mulberry and silkworms and weave silk?" ”

"That's exactly what happened." Shi Jiuke said, "After three years of hard work, the mulberry seedlings can already produce mulberry leaves, and even the silkworm cocoons have been harvested a few times, but they are stuck in the silk reeling and weaving links." ”

"What's going on?" Xu Yingwei said, "No one knows how to reel silk? ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Shi Jiuke sighed, "No one can weave silk and nothing, so if it's a big deal, they will sell raw silk directly, but if no one can reel silk, it will be over, so they can only let it rot." ”

"Then ask someone to come over." Xu Yingwei said, "Now that the craftsman registration has been cancelled, the craftsmen can move freely, as long as your salary is high enough, are you afraid that no one will come?" ”

Shi Jiuke sighed: "It's not because I can't afford to pay my salary. ”

After a pause, he said: "Before buying fields to plant mulberry seedlings, buying silkworm seeds, hiring workers to pick mulberry leaves, harvesting silkworm cocoons, and opening silk reeling workshops and weaving workshops, the total amount has spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the family has been hollowed out by me, and now I really can't take out more silver to fill in." ”

"Big brother, you're looking for the wrong person." Xu Yingwei said directly.

"Our family can take out a few hundred taels of silver, but what you lack is tens of thousands of taels."

At this time, Xu Shiyi, who was accompanying him, gritted his teeth and said, "It's no problem to make up a thousand taels of silver." ”

Xu Shiyi has never been an old-fashioned character, the key is to be able to help the Shi family once to give him a unique sense of achievement, and their grandmother Xu family can also help a famous family like the Huangtan Shi family.

Xu Yingwei said angrily: "Dad, a thousand taels is also useless." ”

"My father-in-law, the younger generation is not here to borrow silver." After Shi Jiuke finished speaking, he said to Xu Yingwei, "That's the case, yesterday I went to the county and saw a notice on the fourth page of the Huangming Times. ”
