For Chen Wang's desire to rebuild the right and back two thousand households.

Tan Yingfeng naturally didn't have any opinions, and the right and back two thousand households were destroyed for a long time.

But in such a situation, Han Zhongwei simply could not afford the money and food needed to rebuild two thousand households.

And the above did not pay attention to these small things in the local area, so the reconstruction of the thousand households was actually not even on the agenda.

So when Wang Yuankang came back and said that Chen Wang was going to rebuild the right and back thousand households, Tan Yingfeng nodded directly, only feeling that he had picked up a big bargain.

After all, it is impossible for Chen Wang to always be the deputy chief guard of Hanzhong Town, and this time, as the commander of Tongzhi, he rectified the guard because he was ordered by Sun Chuanting.

Sooner or later, they are all people who are going to be promoted to the Governor's Mansion, and it is impossible to stay in this small place of Hanzhong Mansion for a long time.

When Chen Wang left, those extra land and new troops recruited from the fields were naturally cheaper for him.

Moreover, Chen Wang has not even taken the jurisdiction of the other three thousand households, as long as he has the power of camp training.

Although it is also said that someone will be sent to check the field, even if the investigation is strict, that is, his hidden field will be found out, and the income will be reduced.

Although it must be painful, Tan Yingfeng knows that this is an interest that must be cut.

If you do it yourself, I'm afraid it will be more in line with Chen Wang's mind.

Arrange for Chen Wang to come over to rectify Han Zhongwei, but Sun Chuanting, the new official took office with three fires, and Tan Yingfeng didn't want one of them to burn on his body.

Tan Yingfeng had already heard that there was a commander in Xi'an Mansion who had already been removed from his military position, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

So when Wang Yuankang came to report the news, Tan Yingfeng not only had no opinion, but even took the initiative to send someone to ask Chen Wang if there was anything he could do to help.

When Chen Wang returned to the Shiquan barracks from Hanzhongwei, it was already October 23.

This time he went to Hanzhong, Chen Wang naturally didn't deal with the affairs of Hanzhongwei all the time, and he also went to Hanzhong City during the period and met Lin Daoquan, the prefect of Hanzhong Mansion.

Compared with when we first met a year ago, Lin Daoquan's spirit is much better.

Perhaps because he learned about Chen Wangzhen's beheading of Gao Yingxiang and was promoted to the deputy chief of the town guard in Hanzhong, his attitude was no longer as arrogant as before.

Chen Wang's request to see Lin Daoquan was naturally not to tie up Lin Daoquan, but to naturally seek to find the ownerless land in Shiquan and Xixiang counties.

Before the plan, Chen Wang had a conversation with Sun Chuanting and had read a book, so Lin Daoquan also got Sun Chuanting's instructions in private.

Chen Wang did not eat the closed door, nor was he disturbed too much.

Shiquan City fell, and Xixiang was plundered twice, the first time by Zhang Yuan, and the second time by Gao Yingxiang.

Although Saigo Castle did not fall, most of the people were killed, and many of the fields were left ownerless, making it a wasteland after years of turmoil.

After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Wang did not stay in Hanzhong City for long.

However, there was indeed a little episode when he was in the city, and King Rui actually wanted to see him, as if he was worried that the Liukou who was now in Yunxiang would go west again, and wanted to know some inside information.

King Rui's summons, Chen Wang, naturally did not dare to agree.

If this kind of private meeting is stabbed, Chen Wang can directly take off the black yarn on his head and find a guard to farm in Jiubian.

Chen Wang finally made an excuse not to go, but simply told the summoner about the general situation.

However, he didn't say anything to death, only said that Liukou Xi's westward advance may not be big, and even if he went west, he hoarded troops in Shiquan, strictly defended, and never allowed Liukou to enter Hanzhong.

When Chen Wang went to Hanzhongwei, he brought more than 100 horsemen as guards.

When he returned, he was followed by thousands of people.

Most of these people were craftsmen and military remnants in the Hanzhong Guard.

To rebuild the health center, some people are naturally still needed in the initial stage, and it is naturally not possible to recruit displaced people empty-handed.

Most of these people were selected by Wang Yuankang, and a few were selected by Chen Wang during his inspection.

When leaving Hanzhongwei, Chen Wang threw an olive branch to Wang Yuankang.

After all, most of the people under him can only fight, although Hu Zhiyi and Tang Shiping have talent in logistics and management is not bad, but when the two of them are gone, there is no one to manage the logistics in the army.

Wang Yuankang's ability is not bad, and he is already in charge of Tuntian, ordnance and other matters, which can provide a lot of help for the reconstruction of the health center.

The water flows low, and the people go high.

For the olive branch thrown by Chen Wang, Wang Yuankang did not have any reason to refuse, and after a little rectification, he followed Chen Wang to Shiquan with his family scroll.

The person who is now presiding over the construction of the new guard is none other than Wang Yuankang.

Not far from Shiquan City, a small city has begun to take shape.

The location of the two thousand-household offices is located in the east of Shiquan City, and the latter thousand-household office is located at the intersection of Shiquan County and Xixiang County.

In late autumn, the north wind is bleak, the weather is cold, and dusk is approaching, but the construction site is still in full swing.

Wang Yuankang, wearing a diagonal scarf and a gray warm coat, stood behind Chen Wang, reporting on the affairs of the construction site.

"There are still fewer craftsmen in Weizhong, and if you want to build the framework before the snow falls, you may need to recruit some people in Xixiang County."

"These small things don't have to be reported, you can decide for yourself later."

Chen Wang's gaze swept over the busy craftsmen and workers on the construction site one by one.

There were men and women who were busy on the construction site, and even children were busy, and it was everyone's business to build the castle.

It was a time when even children were busy, carrying dustpans and baskets to transport the sand and wood, and then building the house little by little under the guidance of craftsmen.

All the people were engrossed and attentive, not only because of the long whip in the hands of the overseer, but also because these places were built for them to live in, and if they worked hard, they could be rewarded with a certain amount of money, and how could they not be forced to work hard.

"You don't need to worry about money and food, as long as it is used on the guard, you can spend it at will, but remember to leave a record and clear the expenses."

It didn't cost much money to build a guard, and it cost about two hundred taels of silver to build a fire pier on the nine sides for defensive reconnaissance.

To build a small castle with a circumference of more than a mile, the cost of silver is about seven or eight hundred taels.

The circumference of the city of a thousand households is generally about four or five hundred zhang, and in the Ming Dynasty, one hundred and eighty zhang is a li, and the circumference of the city of a thousand households is basically about two or three miles.

To build a thousand-household city of nearly three miles from Zhouchang, the total cost of stone and wood is only more than 2,000 taels of silver.

How to build the city, these Chen Wang don't need to worry about it at all.

These craftsmen of Hanzhongwei were all craftsmen in their time, and the guards in Hanzhong Mansion were basically built by their ancestors, and the drawings were naturally preserved.

Moreover, the rough template of the guard city in the Ming Dynasty was the same, and it was not difficult for them to build it according to the drawing.

Most of the work is done by the craftsmen and military households in the institute, and if there is a shortage of people, they can also be recruited by the government, and the cost of labor only needs to pay rations, which is almost none.

The process of conscription is cumbersome and requires the assistance of the local government.

Among them, it is necessary to open a lot of joints, and it also needs to spend a lot of money, so Chen Wang directly asked Wang Yuankang to directly take the money to recruit.

Wang Yuankang spent about 2,000 taels for the cost of construction.

Although Chen Wang now has more than 100,000 taels in his pocket,

Chen Wang is reluctant, but he also knows very well that this money naturally cannot be used indiscriminately.

But the public is public, the private is private, and using one's own private money to do things, once it is known by others, it will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary conjectures.

This money still needs to be used for official business.

directly use the money he earns for official business, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before Jin Yiwei comes knocking on the door.

During the Chongzhen period, the Jinyi Guard had no minions, but the governors everywhere still had eyes and ears, and the reason why the Ming Dynasty was heavy on military and light on military affairs was that he was worried about the rebellion of the generals was also a major reason.

"Winter is approaching, so the main priority is to build the buildings in the city, and most of the walls on the periphery of the thousand households are only laid for the time being according to the orders of the adults, and the foundation is only laid for the time being, and the last thing is built."

Wang Yuankang tightened the clothes on his body, the weather was getting colder and colder day by day, even if he was wearing a coat, he was already feeling uncomfortable.

"It's better to build it a little faster, preferably by December to get most of the people in the city."

Chen Wang turned his head to look to the west, and there were many simple shanties built not far from the west, and the newly recruited military families were temporarily living in them these days.

"How many military households have been raised during this time?"

Chen Wang pressed the Yanling knife on his waist, turned his eyes to Tang Shiping, who was waiting on the side, and asked.

"Since the beginning of the recruitment on September 27, a total of 6,185 people have been recruited."

Tang Shiping was originally in Xing'an City, but soon after returning to Hanzhong Mansion, Chen Wang ordered Tang Shiping and Hu Zhili to lead half of the battalion to Shiquan.

The defense of Hung Yen City was still in charge of Hu Zhiyi.

The purpose of transferring Tang Shiping was naturally to be in charge of recruitment.

After all, the recruitment of troops after the Battle of Hanzhong and the Battle of Xing'an was basically in charge of Tang Shiping.

"Of them were three thousand four hundred and fifty-seven men, two thousand six hundred and thirty-five men, and eight hundred and twenty-two young men."

"Of the two thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight women, three hundred and twenty-one were under the age of thirteen, and the rest were over the age of thirteen."

Tang Shiping's memory is very good, and he only recalled a little bit and gave the accurate figure, and the task of recruiting troops had been completed a few days ago.

There are more men than women, and the proportion of young children is even smaller, and there are basically not many elderly people, and there are not many elderly people who can survive the repeated turmoil.

"Everyone has signed and posted their names and household registrations, the shacks have been set up, and the firewood for the winter has almost been stored."

If ordinary households want to become military households, they need to sign a military household sticker first, but they are registered in the yellow book of military registration.

After issuing the first and second copies, they stamped the letter, and from then on, they have been the military households of Han Zhongwei for generations.

It is not difficult to recruit soldiers at this time, although the military household is lowly, not many people want to be a military household nowadays.

But the current situation in Hanzhong Mansion is that people have few choices, and many people have fallen into a desperate situation.

Although the military family is lowly, at least there is still a way to live.

The household registration has been changed to a military household, and the taxes owed before naturally do not have to be repaid.

One of the most outrageous things in the Ming Dynasty was that people fled to the land, but the tax difference was still levied according to the old amount.

Those who remain are the bread of those who lose, and the living bear the battle of the dead.

Even if there is a war famine and the crops are lost, the people still pay taxes and grain.

If someone flees and the land is wasted, the existing households will have to pay the debt.

The so-called "detainee arrears" simply means that the tax that people in an area need to pay is fixed, whether it is ten households or one household, they need to pay the same amount of money.

In many places, the government is corrupt and deceitful, and some prefectures and counties continue to collect taxes within the prefectures and counties after receiving tax exemptions and relief after reporting the disaster.

It is precisely because of this that in many cases, those farmers who can obtain it have no choice but to abandon all the ripe fields and become displaced because they need to pay a large amount of land tax.

The reason why the civil uprising in Shaanxi and other places has evolved into such a way is that in fact, the element of man-made disasters is not low.

Chen Wang often came to patrol the construction site in the city, and most people also knew Chen Wang.

"How many acres of land have been harvested by the two thousand households?"

Chen Wang asked again, although Zhang Yuan, the captain of the transportation brigade, sent him tens of thousands of stones of grain, no matter how much food he had, he couldn't sit back and eat nothing.

At the very least, the food production in the health center must be able to maintain a balance of payments.

"Lord Hui, with Lord Lin's order, the transfer to the military field has not been hindered too much."

Wang Yuankang's eyes flashed, and his tone seemed quite excited.

"Today, more than 600 acres of land have been harvested by the right thousand households, and more than 400 acres of land have been collected by the last 1,000 households......

"There are enough acres of land, but there are no cattle and farming tools in the station, so how to cultivate so much land in the spring is a problem."

After Wang Yuankang finished speaking, he couldn't help but bite the tip of his tongue secretly, he felt that everything now was too illusory.

The newly built two thousand households occupied almost 1,000 acres of land in an instant, and now there are fewer people and more land.

Chen Wang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Establish the craftsman workshop first, don't be idle in winter, make all your efforts to make farm tools first, count them before the spring, and go to Xixiang City to buy the farm tools that are still bad."

This time, he brought more than 400 craftsmen from Hanzhongwei, which is almost half of the craftsmen in the entire Hanzhongwei, and most of the blacksmiths were brought by him.

When inspecting the Arsenal Bureau of Hanzhong Wei, Chen Wang casually found a few excuses to play.

Reprimanding most of the ordnance made by the craftsmen for being too inferior and really unusable, he said that he would vigorously rectify the military craftsmen in Weizhong and revitalize the Ordnance Bureau, using this excuse to take the ownership of the Ordnance Bureau into his hands.

Chen Wang had already thought of a plan, preparing to set up the headquarters of the Ordnance Bureau in the Right Thousand Households, and Han Zhongwei would set up an empty shelf to deal with the errand.

"As for the ploughing ox......"

Chen Wang frowned slightly, the problem of lack of farm tools is easy to solve, but the lack of ploughing cattle is not easy to solve.

Nowadays, the price of cattle in Hanzhong Mansion is extremely high, and the price of big cattle is generally more than ten taels, and even small calves are more than seven or eight taels.

However, this amount of money is nothing to Chen Wang now, two thousand households are counted as two thousand households, even if it is distributed by five or six households, a total of nearly three or four hundred heads are bought, and more than four thousand taels of silver are spent.

Although he has a lot of money in his hands, he can't use it directly, and he has to go through it again in the middle to become compliant......
