Chapter 141: The God of Wealth descends to earth
On Zhu Gaochi's visit, the left guard was the last stop.
After entering the left guard, the atmosphere was somewhat delicate.
The military households at the bottom were no different from the other two guards, but Qiu Fu and the others were a little cautious.
As the son of the commander, Zhang Fu was busy before and after, and he was also sweating in the winter, for fear that something would go wrong.
"Zhang Fu, you did a good job."
Hearing the praise of the little prince, Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike his father, he has no contact with Ying Tianfu, and he doesn't know any of the old ministers of the prince's family.
In fact, he also knew that his father had no contact with the old ministers of Ying Tianfu.
Usually I also write letters with Lan Yu.
"The tiger father has no dogs, Zhang Fu's ability is good." Qiu Fu praised that although he was a thousand households, he was old and old, and he was not arrogant when he said this.
Zhu Gaochi agrees with Qiu Fu's opinion.
Zhang Fu himself is the tenth of the heroes of Jingnan, and his father Zhang Yu is the first of the heroes of Jingnan.
The success of the Battle of Jingjing, the two fathers and sons played a great role in the success.
If it weren't for this reason, Zhu Gaochi would definitely persuade Zhu Di in the future to take advantage of the Lanyu case to cut off their father and son.
With such an important force as the left guard, Zhu Gaochi will not give it up.
Hundreds of military households were recruited from the left guard of Yanshan, and thousands more were recruited at the beginning of the year, Zhang Yu's affairs were handed over to Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaochi planned to start from below.
Through this visit, Zhu Gaochi clearly understood that the military households of Yanshan Sanwei were still simple, and they only had the palace in their hearts.
After all, the sky above their heads is here.
After Zhu Gaochi visited Sanwei, Zhu Di was also busy with some things, and even Zhu Gaochi didn't know about it.
Back at the palace, Zhu Di summoned Zhu Gaochi and learned about his affairs in Sanwei.
"Do you need to be in such a hurry?" Zhu Di asked curiously.
"My son likes to do it all at once."
Zhu Gaochi laughed, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Of course urgently.
You only have to fight wars and leave a great reputation, but it is not you who govern the country, and it is not you who are in a hurry.
Thinking of the enemy troops who stayed in Beiping in the future, besieged outside the city, and Zhu Di's three fathers and sons were scurrying around outside, Zhu Gaochi had no bottom in his heart.
Although he knew that he had to stay in Beiping, Zhu Gaochi couldn't be happy.
King Yan ran away, and the prince also ran away, who would dare to work hard for King Yan's mansion? Therefore, it is necessary to leave one person to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people in the city.
Zhu Gaochi felt that the more soldiers in his hand, the better, and it was best to stay in Beiping by himself.
"I think Zhang Fu has a very good attitude, he has a heart to be close to the palace, and his father must also have some thoughts in this regard."
The son's attitude towards the palace is respectful, and Lao Tzu never disobeys the palace, plus the history he knows, Zhu Gaochi feels that there is no problem with Zhang Yu and his son.
Zhu Di shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with his face.
"You think a little superficially, you don't know your heart, who is so stupid to disobey the palace in person? No one will put their thoughts on their faces. ”
"How important Zhang Yu's position is, his father knows better than you, and it is precisely because he is clear that he can't act rashly."
"The left guard has a great relationship, it must not fall into the hands of outsiders, we will find a way to get it back, but we must treat it carefully, we can't express our stance easily, and we must be steady at every step."
Zhu Di is right.
Zhu Gaochi did not continue to defend himself.
The Beiping Political Secretary and the palace can't pee in the same pot, but I haven't seen any officials in the political secretary who will confront the palace in public.
Whoever is in front of the palace has a very low posture.
But I don't resist on the surface, and I still continue to do what I should do in secret.
"No matter how sincere Zhang Yu is, but the 5,600 military households of the left guard are still interested in the palace, and they can't push the left guard out because of Zhang Yu's existence."
The establishment of a guard is 5,600 people, and these are only the regular number of military personnel, not including military wives, parents, sheren, and Yu Ding.
In addition to the regular army, the other men in the military family are called Yu Ding or Yu Jun.
If the regular army dies, the remaining Ding is replenished in order, similar to the reserve.
For example, when Fu Youde and Mu Ying entered Yunnan last year, there were more than 200,000 regular troops and more than 200,000 remaining troops accompanying the army.
A left guard army has a population of tens of thousands, which can provide tens of thousands of trained young people, and it is a huge source of strength, and Zhu Gaochi is not willing to waste it.
"Otherwise, you should take small steps and don't recruit 10,000 military households." Zhu Di said with concern.
He worries about money.
Zhu Di knows about the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, and his eldest son has invested 20% in each family, but Zhu Di is also clear about the market of honeycomb coal.
The profit is not high, and he is not very optimistic about this matter.
Relying on 20% of the shares of honeycomb coal alone, the boss can't make much money.
"The honeycomb coal market must be rolled out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for my son to attack the coal bosses."
Zhu Gaochi sighed.
Since it is necessary to use commercial means, it cannot be overwhelming people with force, so it can only be so.
The sales of honeycomb coal in Beiping alone cannot suppress the coal bosses, although there are still coke refineries, but it is also a little insufficient.
When the honeycomb coal market occupies the entire Pei Binh province, and the coke refinery will be in full swing next year, every coal yard will have to bow its head obediently.
It makes no sense not to take a piece of the pie by spending so much effort to get the coal market up.
Zhu Di was too lazy to make any more effort.
The boss can do everything smoothly in Beiping, which does not mean that the rest of the prefectures and counties can do the same.
But it's better to suffer a little loss.
How can you grow without suffering?
Zhu Di waited for the boss to suffer a loss, and then came forward to teach.
……
The left guard commanded the envoy.
Someone reported the visit of the little prince in the left guard post to Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu was expressionless.
The man saluted and respectfully withdrew.
Since the prince's family was able to send Zhang Yu to Yanshan Wei to steal food, it proved the strength of the prince's family, and it also showed that Zhang Yu was a capable person.
An incapable person, even if he successfully takes up the post of left guard, does not mean that he can control the left guard.
"Father."
"You're back."
Zhang Yu turned around and looked at the eldest son who was dressed in dust, "The little prince is smooth sailing in the left guard, but you have made a great effort."
Even if he leans on his generals and sees his son running around for the little prince, who dares to continue to resist.
Zhang Fu shook his head.
"It's not because of the son, it's because the military households are dedicated to the palace, and the little prince's benevolence in the military household is in the name of no military household."
Zhang Yu was speechless.
This is indeed true.
Two generations of virtuous kings are already obvious, if the court does not make a move, Zhang Yu thinks that he can't stop the palace.
"My son took matters into his own hands and invited the engineering team to build a new coal stove at home for heating in winter."
"You can do it."
Zhang Yu was noncommittal, in his eyes, this was a trivial matter.
Not only their homes, but also the homes of many military generals of the guard have begun to install new coal stoves.
It's not just a sycophant of the palace, the new coal stove is indeed convenient and affordable, and there are many benefits.
The engineering team is divided into the railway engineering team and the engineering team.
As the name suggests, the railway engineering team is mainly engaged in the construction of railways, and the engineering team has a lot of new work, including the installation of new coal stoves.
Create a table top on the coal stove, on which an iron pipe flue is placed to lead to the wall, and the hole in the wall extends out of the house.
It not only boils water continuously, but also provides heat for the house, and it is clean, so that people can move freely in the house.
The home of the middle and lower military attachés of the guard is very popular.
Many military attachés' families eat directly by the new coal stove, and the plates are placed on the table of the new coal stove, which can also keep the food warm.
Even washing will be next to the new coal stove, there is hot water, and the house is warm, which is really convenient.
According to Zhang Yu's understanding, most of the military attachés have installed this item in their homes, and with the arrival of winter, the remaining military attaches have also invited the engineering team to install it at home.
The cost is not high, a family is only two or three taels of silver, ordinary military households are reluctant, and military attaches can still afford to spend it.
It not only takes care of the business of the palace, but also facilitates his own family, and no one will refuse this thing.
A mid-level and lower-level military attaché in the guard, below 1,000 households, above the general banner, plus more than 100 deputies, if you count the small banner, it is nearly 300 people.
Coupled with the officials of the Wei Command Envoy Division, only the three guards of Yanshan are more than 1,000 people, which is equal to 3,000 taels of silver.
Some families have a large population and build more than two coal stoves.
For example, if you want to use it at home, it must be more than two or three stoves, and the materials must be sufficient and the workmanship must be fine.
It can't be a level with the flag officer's family, and the carver must have a good color head or something.
For this one, the little prince can get nearly 10,000 taels of silver in his hand.
This thing wants to use honeycomb coal, I heard that the little prince has a stake in the honeycomb coal workshop, no wonder everyone says that the little prince has a little stone into gold.
The most important thing is that the little prince has earned the silver, and the families are happy, after all, this thing is also beneficial to their own family.
And as far as Zhang Yu knows, not only the three guards of Yanshan, but also the surrounding guards have begun to accept this thing, and at this speed of transmission, it will not be long before the people will spread it.
The local landlords, large households, and scholars are no less than the military attachés of the guards.
If you are a scholar and read and write in the house of the new coal stove, it is much more convenient and convenient to entertain guests.
"Is the little prince really the God of Wealth?"
Zhang Fu looked at his father in astonishment.
Zhang Yu also felt that what he said was a little ignorant, just like the people in the township who had never seen the world, and he told the account he had just calculated.
"No one dares to imitate this thing, but it has great benefits, only the military attaché's family in the whole territory of Beiping Mansion, and the local big families use it, how much silver does the little prince have to earn a year."
Zhang Fu suddenly realized.
My father was a little more detailed than he thought.
The new honeycomb coal has some thresholds, but it is not the most rudimentary ordinary honeycomb coal stove that ordinary people can fabricate out of soil.
The merchants of Beiping Mansion did not dare to imitate, but it was not the little prince's own unique business.
"The palace wants power and power, and wealth and wealth, and my father must plan early."
Zhang Fu immediately persuaded.
"You don't understand."
Zhang Yu waved his hand.
