Chapter 52: What's the Deal Wrong with Burning a Chincha
On the Yangtze River, three official ships are heading down the east of the river.
In the cabin, Wang Wu was making a list, mainly the names of the materials purchased after arriving in Jiangnan.
There are not only civilian goods, but also military goods.
However, because this time the south of the Yangtze River is mainly to conduct "research" on the market and be familiar with the water operation, there are not many materials purchased, mainly to test the water.
Determine which goods have high sales and large profits, and then organize a large number of purchases, and at the same time understand which goods in Jingzhou, including Huguang, are popular in the Jiangnan market.
Whether the provinces along the way have bayonets on the Yangtze River and the situation of the waterproof camps stationed in them are all important information that needs to be understood.
The time is also very limited, not only to see Qian Qianyi to get the "blood book", but also to go to the sea to Zhoushan to see Zhang Huangyan, and on the way to get Suzhou "killing people and seizing treasures", and Wang Wu's time is at most two months, so it is really a continuous rotation, and it can't be delayed for a moment.
There is no way, two months later, Prince Kang Jieshu's kid took 6,000 Eight Banner soldiers to Huguang to supervise the battle, Wang Wu could ignore the project "supervision" Mo Luo and them, but he couldn't ignore Jieshu, the general Wang.
As a newly surrendered general, he, the commander of Jingzhou, who is also the commander of the Han army, must report to Jieshu's big tent.
At the same time, you also have to understand how many fires Jieshu, the new official, has to burn when he takes office, and how to burn them.
Then give "fire extinguishing" according to the actual situation.
As for how Mo Luo and the officials from Yanjing dealt with it, the solution given by Wang Wu was to directly throw money.
Regardless of whether it was to check the accounts or verify the quality of the project, he directly brushed 10,000 taels to Moluo, and the "experts" of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War all brushed 5,000 taels regardless of the size of their official positions.
If it's not enough, double it up and add more.
Of course, this is the bottom line of Wang Wu.
The market price, a three-grade left deputy capital imperial history is actually worth three or four thousand taels, and those "experts" who are in charge of six or seven grade officials can be sent away with a few hundred taels.
Therefore, the price offered by Wang Wu is already extremely high, and theoretically the first round should be able to smash the "inspection team".
The matter is handed over to the Golden Crown.
Although Lao Zhang hated Jin Guansan, he didn't take Jin's platform out of Wang Wu's face for the sake of Wang Wu, but asked Jin to be in charge of the construction of the city in Jingzhou.
In other words, Jin Guansan's platform is the number one leader of the Jingzhou Mancheng Project, and the prefect Li Wen is the second in command.
Wang Wu had no contact with this project, he only sent some troops to assist the local relocation project at the request of the Jingzhou prefect Yamen, and he did not participate in the project approval or construction.
The following project subcontractors have been notified that the caliber must be unified after the "inspection team" comes.
The consequence of talking nonsense is to immediately cancel their project contracting qualifications.
This point was clearly stated by Wang Wu in his letter to Lao Zhang, Xia Zhizhou, and Wang Qianzong.
In order to make things more smooth and complete, Lao Zhang was urged to allocate 200,000 taels.
Where there is money, there is motivation, and there is cohesion.
At the same time, Lao Zhang stepped up the handling of the transfer of Qian Wentao from Yunyang Daotai to the prefect of Jingzhou.
If you don't hold the Jingzhou prefect in your hands, many things can't be promoted.
Although the current prefect Li Wen does not dare to do it against him, many things that Wang Wu wants to do have to go through the prefect's yamen, so it is definitely inappropriate for an outsider to control the prefect's yamen.
Before leaving, Jin Guansan was worried about what would happen if Mo Luo and the others refused to accept the money and did find major problems with the project.
For example, it is found that the cost is high.
"It's your job, if you can't even do this kind of thing, do you think you still have a future?"
After leaving this sentence for Jin Guansan, Wang Wu got on the boat and gave the order to set off.
There are a total of 130 people in the entourage, in addition to the personal guards, they are Fu Chenzi and Luo Zimu, and the other are the relevant personnel of this trip.
After getting on the boat, Wang Wu obviously felt unwell and was a little seasick.
After two days of adaptation, the discomfort in my heart was lightened, and then I began to enjoy the scenery along the way.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there are times when I am tired of reading, so I read in the cabin.
Recently, I looked through a book called "The Illustrated Description of Weapons".
The author of this book is the former Ming Dynasty Wanli period of Jinshi Bi Maokang, Chongzhen period for the military department, in this position to Chongzhen Emperor into the book "Illustrated Weapons".
The various firearms listed in the book are illustrated and illustrated, not only in terms of manufacturing methods, but also in detail about their use and power.
This time, it is also one of the purposes to go to Jiangnan and organize talents to carry out military production in Jingzhou.
The core of military production lies in talents, and most of the talents who can make cannons and muskets in this era and all kinds of "strange and obscene weapons" are in Jiangnan.
The Ming Dynasty set up in the southern capital of Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi, is the Ming Dynasty firearms production of key scientific research units.
Although it has been 20 years since the fall of Nandu, not all the craftsmen of Nanzhen Fusi served the Qing army, and many of them were scattered all over the south of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, Wang Wu wanted to recruit some capable people in the military industry of the former Ming Dynasty, so that his Jingzhou military factory could open for production as soon as possible.
He is not familiar with this aspect, so the entourage has Hu Laoer.
This person was the head of the green camp in Guankouya earlier, and when he heard that this person could make cannons and was used to be Nan Zhenfu, Wang Wu specially brought the person out.
The task given to Hu Lao Er was to go to Nandu to find his old colleagues, and then do their work, no matter how much money he spent, he had to persuade people to work in Jingzhou.
In addition to making guns and guns, those who can make clocks and watches are also the talents emphasized by Wang Wu.
In these years, the ability to make clocks and watches is basically the same level as the ability to build missiles in later generations.
In addition, Hu Laoer also had to collect all kinds of scientific works since the end of the Ming Dynasty in the southern capital, as well as Western scholarship translated by literati in the late Ming Dynasty.
Some literati who "do not do their jobs" and scholars who have "affairs" with Western monks are also his recruits.
Because, he plans to run a school in Jingzhou and cultivate a group of new talents.
How to rise to build your own strength, there are too many templates given by those successful people in history books, even if you have a bad history, you can read more online articles on the history of later generations, and you can draw a gourd with your eyes closed.
To put it bluntly, whether it is fighting for hegemony or rebelling against aliens, it is nothing more than a three-piece set of talents, production, and training.
Wang Wu only needs to build up the big frame and then smash it with money, he can't make him a great general of the universe in three or five years, but a Jiangdong little overlord is proper.
Thanks to the fact that the large-scale literary prison has not yet been launched, there are many scientific and technological works in the Ming Dynasty circulating on the market, and Kangxi began to ban them little by little after he became in power, until his grandson Qianlong destroyed the ban on a large scale in the name of repairing the "Siku Quanshu", which made the Ming Dynasty's scientific books completely broken.
Therefore, whether it is recruiting people or buying books, it is very easy now, and it will not arouse the alarm of those who are interested.
After the ship arrived in Wuchang, Wang Wu had to take the time to go ashore to visit Lao Zhang no matter what.
Seeing Wang Wu appear, Lao Zhang was very surprised, because he didn't know that Wang Wu was going to Jiangnan.
"I haven't been to Jiangnan yet, so I want to see it when I'm free this time."
Seeing Lao Zhang looking at him suspiciously, Wang Wu had no choice but to tell him about his plan to partner with Babur to do business.
"That's it?"
"Hmm."
"I don't believe it."
Lao Zhang seemed to see through Wang Wu's heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, but he didn't force him to ask, and only asked Wang Wu: "Mo Luo came to check the account, and ordinary people can't find out this account, but Mo Luo is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid he will find out something." ”
"It's okay, I'll ask Jin Guansan to give him 10,000 taels."
Wang Wu felt that there was no money in this world for unequal officials, and Manchurian officials were also officials, as long as they were officials, they were all virtuous.
You can't clear out an Ilgenmo Qingtian.
Lao Zhang was thoughtful: "Some things can be settled without money, and things in the world are not afraid of 10,000, just in case." Mo Luo really wants to find out something, you pat your ass and say run away, what should I do? ”
"It's not,"
Wang Wu was surprised, "You can wrongfully accuse Tuhai for committing suicide, what's the big deal if you let people set fire to death?" ”
