The Jiangguo Mansion has set up a new Development Planning Department and a Planning and Finance Department, both of which are located in the newly bought courtyard on the right side of the Jiangguo Mansion.

In the afternoon of this day, Huang Guang came out of the right courtyard early in the morning, looked back and saw that the two guards at the gate of the Guogong Mansion were standing straight, and couldn't help but straighten their waists and strode towards the entrance of the alley. I met several old acquaintances in the alley, all of whom shouted affectionately "Huang Tolerance, Yellow Tolerance", and Huang Guangyi grinned and greeted them one by one.

When Huang Guangyi's father was born, there was still a shop business at home, and there was also a thin field outside the city, but in a few years, two uncles died unexpectedly, and then his father died of illness, and then the third uncle's daughter-in-law left a baby to take care of her grandmother and remarried. The Huang family's grandmother and two concubines were unable to support the family, and the three women often made trouble, but they were cheated by foreign businessmen once, and the business could not be done, and they also lost their fields outside the city. A few years later, my grandmother also died, and the two concubines were divided into two families, which can be regarded as An Sheng, who raised the six brothers and sisters, but there was no spare energy to manage the education of several children.

As soon as Huang Guang went to private school for several years, he came out early to do things, after all, his family was in decline, and he couldn't do hard work, so he followed to learn to be a tooth man. Huang Guangyi has some talent, and after tossing for a few years, he has become stable in this industry. As soon as Huang Guang made teeth, he was extremely trustworthy when he should be trustworthy, and he was unambiguous when he should be pitting people. also accumulated some money, so Zhang Luo took his young brother to study. In the end, only Huang Guangwu, who was the youngest and had no father, could endure the hard work of studying, and finally won the promotion, but Huang Guangwu participated in the examination the year before last and fell to Sun Shan, and his mind was a little unstable.

A few days ago, the Jiangguo Mansion posted a notice in the right courtyard to recruit people to work, but asked to be able to write and calculate. There was a lot of discussion for a while, but there were few applicants.

Especially the people in this alley, there is even more fear of this Jiangguo Mansion. Last year, the guards of the Jiangguo Mansion rode back and forth, and if anyone accidentally collided with them, they might have flown from afar, hitting the skin and flesh. But everyone thinks that it should be like this, which of these officials is not arrogant and domineering, and does not take the ordinary people in their eyes. Unexpectedly, after the first month, the guards of these national mansions seemed to have changed people, and they either trained non-stop all day long, and there were shouts of killing every day, which was terrifying to hear; Either it is like a stake, standing at the door with a knife and a gun, and not moving for an hour; When the guard is changed, it is like a piece of wood, and one step at a time makes people laugh. At first, some people stopped to watch, but after seeing more of it, they felt that all the soldiers were like machines, which made people afraid. Some people even said that the soldiers of the Guogong Mansion went to the north a while ago to cut down the soldiers of the Song people, saying that they were killing people like hemp and bleeding, so frightened that the people in the alley did not dare to speak loudly when they passed the door of the Guogong Mansion.

Huang Guangwu had read the book, but he felt that being a soldier should be forbidden by this order. signed up with the mentality of trying it out, but was suddenly selected by Xu Meilan and became a staff member of the Planning and Finance Department. Later, when I met Guogong himself, I felt that although Guogong was not angry and arrogant, he was very kind when he spoke to others. After staying for a few days and learning about the situation, he recommended Huang Guangyi to the head of the Development Planning Department.

Huang Guangyi didn't hold out much hope, but Guang Wuhao persuaded him to follow his wishes. Unexpectedly, the written test and interview went very smoothly, and I became a person from the Development Planning Division in such a daze. Huang Guang thought at first that after entering the Guogong Mansion and having a body tolerance, he could continue to be a toothman and earn some extra money, but he found that it was impossible. Working in the Guogong Mansion, not to mention every day, you have to report to your boss or report afterwards when you go out, there is a morning meeting every day, or an evening meeting, a weekly meeting, and it is said that there will be a summary meeting every month in the future. Not only that, there are many people in the development planning department, during this period to prepare for the construction and opening of Xuanzhou, looking for office space, arranging decoration, recruiting personnel, formulating regulations, etc., there are a lot of trivial matters, and the requirements are extremely high, and most of them are not skilled, and one thing is often back and forth. In addition, the Development Planning Department also has to recruit personnel for Xuanzhou Commerce and Trade, contact other shops, and find master craftsmen for coal and iron companies. Not only that, although it was the Fuli Sergeant who joined the army to help find coal and iron mines, the participation of the Development Planning Department was also indispensable.

Huang Guangyi is mainly engaged in Xuanzhou commerce, and at the beginning he only arranged what to do, but after ten years, he also understood some things, so he pondered by himself.

Huang Guangyi walked to the east of the city, about to pass by the Yamen of the Assassin's Mansion, and inadvertently saw a person standing opposite the Yamen, although he was wearing a long robe, but his body was straight, and his facial features were distinct, and he should have been a rather handsome face, but it was destroyed by a scar on the left side of his face.

Huang Guangyi was a little puzzled, and without thinking too much, he hurried over. Suddenly, this person seems familiar? But I couldn't remember it for a while, and when I looked back, the man was gone. So he put it behind him and hurried to the appointed place to meet the people.

Xu Le'an lingered in the small teahouse near the yamen of the Assassin's Mansion for a long time, and then he learned that Jiang Guogong generally did not come to the government office to work. Xu Le'an stood outside the yamen for a while, reminiscing about some old things. Thinking about it again, even if Jiang Guogong came to the government office to work, it must be impossible to take Xu Meilan with him, so he was a little hesitant for a while. Thinking that Xu Meilan can enter the Jiangguo Mansion, she will have a home, and she can be regarded as a general. But after all, I didn't see each other, and I don't know how Xu Meilan stayed in the Guogong Mansion, she was always a little unwilling.

The body moved freely, and before I knew it, I walked to the alley where the Jiangguo Mansion was located. At that time, the weather was not late, and it was time for the guards to take over, Xu Le'an saw this, and couldn't help but be frightened, secretly thinking that the guards of the general back then were not as good as them. He didn't dare to come forward, and wandered at the mouth of the alley for a while, also worried about arousing suspicion, so he had to leave first. It's just that I'm curious, so I won't go away from Xuancheng for a while.

Xu Le'an just left for a while, the right courtyard opened the door, Xu Meilan also walked out of the right courtyard, and the group led the horse and ran out of the city. It turned out that it was caused by Li Cong Yixing, and despite the fact that it was getting late, he wanted to take a look at the manor in the west of the city. Luo Zhengwen, Xu Meilan and others accompanied them.

When he arrived at the Chengxi Manor, Li Congyi climbed the hill and stopped moving forward. Looking at the surrounding scenery, Li Congyi also felt arrogant. Then he wrote it down, "1. Set up a guard post on the hill on the north side, and rely on this slope to set up fences on both sides of the mountain pass. 2. In the open land near Jingting Mountain, build a winery, and divert water from the mountain as a water source, and the name of the wine is called Jingting Mountain; 3. On the other side of the open field, a soap factory and an essential oil factory were built; Fourth, recruit displaced people to serve as the factory guards, ask the guards of the Guogong Mansion to send instructors for training, and the security of the entire factory area needs to be loose outside and tight inside, that is, the focus is on strictly preventing outsiders from being allowed to enter the factory area. ”

After speaking, the wind changed, "This soap and essential oil, named Meilan brand, Meilan soap, Meilan essential oil, I think it is very good." ”

Luo Zhengwen thought to himself, if Mrs. Huangfu knew, I was afraid that she would be very jealous. But Mrs. was far away in Jinling, so Luo Zhengwen was silent, unwilling to harm Xu Meilan.

Xu Meilan wanted to push it back at the beginning, but suddenly thought of something, so she no longer insisted. It's just that he was deeply blessed by Li Congyi right away, and he can be regarded as admitting this.

Without Xu Shiming and other sycophants, Li Congyi blew the mountain wind for a while, and then felt bored, so he beat the horse downhill. When he reached the bottom of the slope, a bad taste came to him, and he could not control himself, so he stopped his horse again, and provoked a group of retinues who were not skilled in horseback riding.

Li Congyi pointed to the top of the slope, "This manor is called 'Wuthering Heights'."

Everyone didn't understand what it meant, and Li Congyi didn't explain either. Just laughed and walked away.

Li Congyi can't rest at night. However, Li Congyi has long been used to it in Dachang for many years. In this world, Li Congyi feels that now he is his own boss and does it for himself, just like making a large-scale live-action strategy game, he has always been energetic, and he has completely practiced the creed of capitalists infinitely squeezing employees. Of course, in order to better squeeze employees, you have to be ruthless to yourself.

Li Congyi read the official document by candlelight, the light was dim, and he used traditional Chinese characters in vertical font, and he also felt sleepy. And Luo Zhengwen sat on the side, already reclining on the chair and falling asleep.

Li Congyi woke up Luo Zhengwen, and Luo Zhengwen woke up with a spirit, "Ah, Grandpa Guo is done?" While rubbing his eyes, he handed Li Congyi a stack of prayer notes. This is the greeting post and gift list from the commander of the 19 battalions of the Ning National Army to the grandfather of the country. ”

According to the military system of the Southern Tang Dynasty, 100 people were the capital, five capitals were battalions, five battalions were armies, and ten armies were compartments. The Ning Guojun also has left and right wings, and if the establishment is really replenished, the whole army will have 50,000 people. However, Xuanzhou was not a place of financial wealth, and the entire army of the Southern Tang Dynasty rarely had a fully established army.

There are 20 battalions on the left and right sides of the Ning National Army, with a number of 10,000 soldiers, and the four main and deputy commanders in the left wing are led by sub-battalions, and there is no permanent army level establishment. But in Li Congyi's view, the actual number of Ning Guojun's troops is about 6,000.

"Oh?" Li Congyi's response came and dragged on a long note. However, it is extremely difficult to keep government affairs secret, and even more so in ancient times. Today, Xuancheng County just sent an official document to the government, and as the assassin of Xuanzhou, I only saw this book tonight, and it has not yet been approved by Ning Guojun to command the yamen.

Luo Zhengwen also understood what he meant and continued. "This one who did not bow down was Hu Yuan, the commander of the Left Wing Battalion. His ancestral home was Chuzhou, and he retired from Huaishang with his father. The villain inquired about it today, and this person always said some rebellious words every day, but Cui Feihu, the commander of the left wing, saw that he was quite capable of governing the army, so he had been covering him. ”

Li Congyi was noncommittal, and asked, "Who sent the most?" ”

Luo Zhengwen hurriedly picked out a copy, "Some of the so-called antiques, calligraphy and paintings, for a while do not argue whether they are true or false, it is difficult to count, a rough estimate, the battalion commander of the right wing, Dong Jingye, sent the most, probably no more than 10,000 taels." Luo Zhengwen paused deliberately, "Among them, there are also two 'Yangzhou Thin Horses' that Commander Dong bought from Song Jing, saying that they are for Grandpa Guo to listen to the music and relieve your boredom." ”

Li Congyi was picking up the candle flame, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help shaking his hand, "Ten thousand taels...... This battalion commander is willing to pay his blood. Want to come and ask for something else? ”

"Exactly. The villain also inquired, this Dong Jingye's family has a Dong shop, the main business is rice industry, and the other is tea. It was run by his father, and he thought he should have some contact with Xuanzhou Commerce. Moreover, the relationship between Dong's shop and Hou Zhixian seems to be unusual, but I don't know the inside story. ”
