Chapter 140

Although money is not everything, it is impossible to do without money. Whatever you do, start-up capital is very important.

If Cheng Shijie did not get the money that his predecessor Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Gao Wang had been an official for several years, he had no capital to support his family soldiers, and without his family soldiers, it would be impossible to defeat the bandit Qin Wu, without the capture of the bandits, the Ning Navy would not have developed, and without Cheng Shijie's super-standard treatment, it would have been impossible for the officers and men of the Ning Navy to stand up for him......

All of this is a cycle. The most critical person in this cycle is Cheng Shijie, and the most critical factor is money.

The development of southern Liaoning is the same; without vigorous renovation and dredging of ditches, there will be no basic fertilizer for the reclamation of southern Liaoning, and without fertilizer, there will be no high grain yield. And the same other cycle is that if Cheng Shijie does not use the method of work-for-relief to attract a large number of displaced people into southern Liaoning and bring sufficient working population to southern Liaoning, the ditches in southern Liaoning will not be able to stretch out as quickly as a trick.

Relying on agricultural reclamation alone is far from making southern Liaoning so prosperous, and more importantly, Cheng Shijie has opened a variety of factories that can not only provide jobs for displaced people, but also produce a large number of materials.

What's more critical is that these factories can continue to make money for Cheng Shijie, just a salt factory, in less than nine months, Cheng Shijie earned 3.6 million taels of silver, which is currently the most profitable factory in all Cheng Shijie's industries, followed by textile factories.

Because of the use of hemp, cotton, silk and wool, the use of mixed textile technology, the wool cloth produced, because of good air permeability, comfort, plus good warmth, has become a sought-after goods in Jiangnan.

If in later generations, Jiangnan people can rarely wear woolen sweaters, but in the late Ming Dynasty, during the Xiaoice River period, even Guangzhou and Kunming will have extreme weather and snow, and southerners will not have a good time in winter. The textile factory managed by Jin Qiaoer earned 1.6 million taels of silver for Cheng Shijie under the condition of satisfying the internal consumption of southern Liaoning, and if by the end of the year, it is expected to catch up with the salt factory and become the most profitable factory under Cheng Shijie.

Again, it is Cheng Shijie's turn to the carriage factory, due to the successive expansion of the Ning Navy, the military transport carriage has increased again and again, in this case, although the sales of two-wheeled carriages and four-wheeled carriages are not large, but they have taken the high-quality route, but there is an income of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.

In the end, it will be the turn of the income of Tuntian Juntian, and the goods exported to Jiangnan or Shandong are fine, and the prices are fair, but the goods smuggled from Jiannu through Hu Erqi and Xie Jinglin, including salt, tea, linen, cotton, canvas, and various spices, can earn more than ten times that with conscience, and it is not impossible to earn twenty or thirty times or even a hundred times.

In this case, Cheng Shijie relied on the Shandong Mutiny, Kong Youde Rebellion and the blackmail of Zu Dashou, and obtained a total of more than 8 million taels of silver in start-up capital, of course, if you count the seizures from bandits and pirates, this fund is more than 10 million taels of silver.

In less than a year, Cheng Shijie surpassed Fan Yongdou's wealth accumulation for seven generations. Cheng Shijie used factories and war seizures, as well as smuggling, to obtain more silver than the annual financial revenue of the Ming court. If Emperor Chongzhen knew that Cheng Shijie would make so much money, I am afraid that he would not let Cheng Shijie serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong again.

Instead, let Cheng Shijie serve as the secretary of the household department, or the secretary of the Ministry of Industry...... But the problem is that Cheng Shijie is not a jinshi and cannot hold such an official position.

If there is not so much capital, what will Cheng Shijie use to open a bank?

Especially as more and more factories increase their production capacity, there are more factories that make money, especially more than a dozen steel factories whose products do not wait, these factories have always been mainly producing military materials, and after meeting the needs of the armed Ning naval officers, there are already products that can make money.

For example, the hoe made of stainless steel in southern Liaoning is of good quality and durable, and the key is that it is cheap, and there are also curved ploughs, axes, and firewood knives that can be sold to the outside world.

Even the furniture factories are selling to the outside world after satisfying the Ninghai officers and the people of southern Liaoning, and the production of these factories is very hot, and with a weak industrial production base, Cheng Shijie can do more things.

He had money and technical reserves, and he could open a cement factory, mine copper and iron ore, and even open a shipyard.

Don't look at the fact that the Lushun shipyard has not yet been officially put into operation, the shipwrights have recruited more than 800 people.

In order to attract displaced people to live in southern Liaoning with peace of mind, Cheng Shijie now provides each displaced person with a new set of clothes, bedding, basins, lunch boxes, as well as single-family bags and kettles.

The homeless people who owned these belongings immediately changed from the proletariat to the propertied class, and these things could be exchanged for three or four taels of silver, and the actual value of these materials had exceeded ten taels of silver.

If it is a skilled person, in addition to the free distribution of basic living materials, housing will also be provided, this housing standard is, of course, ordinary craftsmen are not as good as ordinary Ning naval soldiers, but professionals in a certain field enjoy more treatment than ordinary Ning naval soldiers, and can even be compared with officers.

Cheng Shijie also prepared a good living and working environment for the immigrants, as long as the people who arrived in southern Liaoning could take a bath for free, or new clothes, and eat sticky multigrain porridge, these multigrain porridge was not to save money, but to nourish the stomach of the displaced people.

As long as the stomach is well nourished, they will increase their nutrition and eat dry rice, such as rice, steamed buns, buns, etc., as for meat, it is indeed not much, and now Cheng Shijie is still in the accumulation stage, even if he is the best treated Ning Navy soldier, he cannot guarantee to eat meat every day, but he can guarantee that he will eat some meat every other day.

Although the red lady has a Tanlong Valley and a certain amount of money and food, her capital is far less abundant than Cheng Shijie, and of course she has no way to compare with Cheng Shijie.

The red lady came to southern Liaoning with people, and soon immigrated to the factory according to the vocational skills, and as for those who can only farm, they will finally be compiled into 100 households in Tuntian or 100 households in engineering.

Seeing the familiar homeless people being separated one by one, the red lady finally couldn't help but find the director of the immigration management center.

This is the characteristic of southern Liaoning, which is not like the Central Plains, with a three-level management system of provinces, prefectures (prefectures) and counties, with prefects, prefectures and counties. However, in southern Liaoning, there are only two levels of the management committee and the executive committee, and below the executive committee, the original mayor of each town, or the town guard, establishes a working committee, which is called the working committee of a certain town.

There is a director, a director, and ten hundred households, that is, members, the establishment of a working committee responsible for management, except for the factory called the manager or general manager, the local government, unified to change the name of the director or deputy director.

The management level of the resettlement center is the same as that of a town, and this director has the same surname Cheng, but he is not related to Cheng Shijie, this is a member of the Cheng clan from Fangcheng, Luoyang, surnamed Cheng Yaodong.

Luoyang Fangcheng is actually Cheng Shijie's real ancestral hometown.

"Director Cheng, everyone has arranged it, why hasn't I been arranged?"

As the leader of this group of more than 20,000 displaced people, the treatment of the red lady is actually quite good, she has a separate room in the resettlement center, which is actually three rooms, one bedroom, one living room, and a small study.

The treatment of eating is a small canteen, which can be the same as Cheng Yaodong, the director.

"Tang Sanniang, I'm about to find you, our rules in southern Liaoning are mainly voluntary, and children under the age of minors can be decided by their guardians or parents, and they can choose their own jobs voluntarily!"

Cheng Yaodong did not despise the Red Lady because she was a woman, after all, southern Liaoning is a little different from the Central Plains, and women here can be officials, like Yang Yunniang, Jin Qiaoer, Liu Xue, and Wang Wei are all officials, and their ranks are even higher than him.

Cheng Yaodong continued: "In view of your work ability, more than 20,000 people have been brought here by you, and you should continue to give full play to your strengths and take up management positions!" ”

"What is a managerial position?"

"To put it simply, it's to be an official!"

"Being an official? Can a woman still be an official? ”

"It's definitely not okay in other places, we can do it in southern Liaoning!"

Cheng Yaodong said: "Your situation is a bit special, it's not that I can be the master, nor is it the executive committee that can make the decision, and now it needs to be approved by the management committee and Cheng Dashuai." ”

As a leader of more than 20,000 displaced people, if you are resettled, the level given cannot be too low, otherwise who will come to Cheng Shijie in the future, and the problem of being a red lady will be reported to the management committee.

So, this problem was reported to Cheng Shijie, of course, Cheng Shijie is now on the bank of the Taizi River, more than 500 miles away from Jinzhou, even if it is reported quickly, it will take two or three days.

The red lady looked at Cheng Yaodong and said, "I can choose by myself?" ”

"Can you choose for yourself?"

"Haizhou Executive Committee, there is still a lack of a deputy director!"

In order to make it easier for the red lady to understand, Cheng Yaodong explained: "The deputy director of our executive committee in southern Liaoning is like your Chenzhou or Zhengzhou Zhizhou in Kaifeng Mansion, Henan!" ”

As soon as she said this, the red lady understood.

The red lady shook her head and said, "I want to join the army and lead the troops to fight!" ”

Since the moment she was captured by Yulangjun, there has been no turning back for the red lady.

With her character, it is impossible to accept her fate, and she will definitely resist.

When she killed the first person, there was no turning back.

With a jade sword in her hand, and the blood-stained cave room, the red lady opened another path in her life, a completely different path.

On this road, she needs to keep killing people, killing the bandits who want to kill her, killing the scum among the homeless, and killing the local tyrants and inferior gentry......

In short, the lives of the red lady and the red lady are not eighty, but one hundred, and there are more people killed, so they naturally leave a shadow in their hearts. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would have nightmares.

If she didn't have a knife, she wouldn't even dare to sleep, not that she liked to wear that red wedding dress very much, because as long as there was no red wedding dress, she could see that any clothes she wore looked like they were stained with blood.

"In the military...... This question...... I'm sorry, but it's not within my purview to help you! ”

Cheng Yaodong said: "If you want to join the army, you need to wait for the time when the Ning Navy recruits soldiers, sign up for the army, or go directly to the Ning Navy General Command, sign up directly, and join the army in a special recruitment, if you are recruited, you need to have a specialty!" ”

The red lady bit her lip: "I can ride a horse, is it considered a specialty?" ”

"Count!"

"I can shoot arrows, although I dare not say that I can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, but within a hundred steps, if you shoot people, you can do nine out of ten arrows!"

"Count!"

"I'll also lead the troops!"

"That's even better!"

The red lady rode her jujube red horse, carried her longbow, and hung a long knife at her waist, and galloped towards Jinzhou City.

……

Cheng Shijie never imagined that his meeting with Yang Qingyun would be a patient and a doctor, stationed on the banks of the Taizi River, and Cheng Shijie ran to swim in the Taizi River because the weather was too hot.

When he went ashore, Cheng Shijie accidentally stepped on a sharp object, and a not-so-big cut was scratched on the sole of his foot.

Cheng Shijie didn't care, in just three days, his feet were swollen and the wound festered......

Cheng Shijie originally wanted to return to the afterlife for treatment.

However, Wu Sheng rode a horse overnight and took advantage of the post station system that had just been established to bring Yang Qingyun, the only son of a former imperial doctor in southern Liaoning who had won the true inheritance of his father, to the Taizi River, the camp of the Ning Navy Guards.

Yang Qingyun also knows very well that the current Cheng Shijie is the sky in southern Liaoning, if Cheng Shijie has an accident, the sky in southern Liaoning will definitely collapse.

He didn't dare to slack off, and after treating Cheng Shijie, he quickly took out a sharp blade and scraped the pus ulcer for Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie finally saw the magic of traditional Chinese medicine, Yang Qingyun only held a few silver needles, disinfected, and inserted them into his head, and then on the thighs and feet, after inserting dozens of silver needles in his feet, he found that his entire left foot was unconscious.

Watching Yang Qingyun use a knife to scrape out the pus on the soles of his feet, it took nearly a pillar of incense for Cheng Shijie to see Yang Qingyun begin to clean up the wounds, apply medicine, and bandage.

It wasn't until most of the silver needles were pulled out that Cheng Shijie felt a faint pain.

"Is this the legendary needle hemp?"

"The carving insect skill made Cheng Dashuai smile!"

"Real skills are real skills!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Mr. Yang has excellent medical skills, and Ben Shuai wants to hire Mr. Yang as the dean of Liaodong Medical College, I wonder if Mr. Yang is willing to give in?" ”

"This ......"

Yang Qingyun got up and refused: "How can Yang be worried about the director of the hospital, and ask the handsome to invite another master!" ”

Yang Qingyun was also bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Because his father was an imperial doctor, he was obviously not wrong, he did not treat the wrong disease, nor did he prescribe the wrong medicine, but he was killed by others when he found out that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was poisoned by lead.

Originally, he just wanted to be a little doctor peacefully, but because he was treating Hou Shu of the Hou family in Suiyang, it was obvious that Hou Shu had overdosed on the medicine of the tiger and wolf, so he wanted to let him ......

Cheng Shijie also understands that the doctor's idea, in this era, the requirements for medical skills are very low, and ten patients can save seven people, which is a qualified doctor. If eight out of ten sick people can live, then good medicine. If ten sick people can save nine people, that's a miracle doctor.

As a doctor, I don't like to treat the rich and noble, and there is naturally a reward for curing it, but the problem is that once something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.

And Shengdou Xiaomin is the most ideal patient, who has no power and power, and can only consider himself unlucky when he dies.

"Mr. Yang misunderstood, Ben Shuai meant to set up a medical school, let Mr. Yang open a sect, open the door to teach apprentices!"

Cheng Shijie muttered: "I wonder if Mr. Yang has heard of Zhenhai City?" ”

"Six Sages City?"

"Six Sages City?"

Cheng Shijie was puzzled.

Although Cheng Shijie named Zhenhai City Zhenhai, the problem is that because on the central square of Zhenhai City, there are statues of the six sages of the farmer, both Shennong's, Jia Simiao, Pan Shengzhi, Chen Yang, Wang Zhen, and Xu Guangqi, although the six sages of the farmer are sealed by Cheng Shijie.

But the problem is that there are not a few protégés of Xu Guangqi, how can this kind of thing that can make Xu Guangqi famous?

As a result, the name of Zhenhai City has not spread, but the Six Sages City has spread all over the world.

The name of one of the six sages of this peasant family even reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen.

Yang Qingyun's gaze became eager, he didn't want to be Cheng Shijie's personal doctor, nor did he want to become a full-time doctor for the powerful in southern Liaoning, but it didn't mean that he didn't want to become a representative of the doctor.

"What does the big marshal mean is to build a medical city like the Six Sages of the Peasant Family?"

"Ben Shuai...... OK! ”

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "In Gaizhou, Jinshi Mountain Benshuai wants to build a new city, named Xinghai City, establish Liaoning Medical College in Xinghai City, and set aside 600,000 acres of land from around Xinghai City as a medicine field to plant traditional Chinese medicine to meet the research and demand of the medical school for Chinese herbal medicine." ”

Yang Qingyun looked excited: "Dashuai, this medicine field is different from farmland, it can only be cultivated, if you want to take care of 600,000 acres of medicine field, I am afraid that it will take twenty or thirty thousand people." ”

"Ben Shuai doesn't favor one over the other, and also gives you five towns, fifty Tuntian and 100 households, you can command these fifty Tuntian military households to plant the medicinal materials you need!"

"The climate in southern Liaoning is still very suitable for the cultivation of most Chinese herbal medicines, and some Chinese herbal medicines that are not suitable for cultivation can also be purchased from other places!"

"It doesn't matter, don't worry, within three or two years, you can cultivate most of the Chinese herbal medicines in Liaodong, and if you can't cultivate them, you can buy them elsewhere, in short, I want Chinese medicine to flourish in Liaodong."

Cheng Shijie knows that many people in later generations actually don't believe in traditional Chinese medicine, because there are many liars in traditional Chinese medicine, what ancestral medical skills, family medical skills, and how many generations of descendants of famous doctors, etc., are liars nine times out of ten.

When was the time, the online article also had this similar bias, and the online article was equal to the little yellow article.

"Three or two years will definitely be no problem, we have enough land, enough workers, three or two years, enough to cultivate a sufficient number of Chinese herbal medicines, and if the medical school can keep up with it, then there will be no problem."

Yang Qingyun is also confident that so far, Cheng Shijie has never failed in doing things.

In fact, all along, Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine have not received enough attention, although the rulers of the past dynasties have also supported traditional Chinese medicine, but the scale and intensity of support are far from enough, can be called a drop in the bucket, the degree of attention to Chinese herbal medicine is also insufficient, many doctors also need to go into the mountains alone to collect medicine, occasionally there are pharmacists to plant medicinal materials, but also only driven by economic interests, with a great degree of arbitrariness.

Cheng Shijie is willing to give 600,000 acres of land to grow Chinese herbal medicine, because he knows that Chinese medicine is valuable. It is also a time to step under the feet of Western medicine.

Although there is only one top Chinese medicine talent in southern Liaoning, Yang Qingyun is the only one, not to mention how high the level of traditional Chinese medicine in southern Liaoning can be, at least it is no problem to grow Chinese herbal medicine on a large scale.

In fact, the research of traditional Chinese medicine is not very difficult, as long as you are willing to spend money, those traditional Chinese patent medicines, according to the recipe handed down by repeated experiments, can always find a suitable ratio.

As for the test subjects......

Ning Haijun is not lacking at all.

Yang Qingyun said: "Dashuai, although Yang has won the true inheritance of his father, but his medical skills are not the best, Yang has a senior brother named Su Yong, who is now in Nanzhili's hometown, Yang is trying to find a way to deceive Senior Brother Su...... No, please come here, but it will take some time for the results to be resolved. ”

Cheng Shijie looked at Yang Qingyun with some urgency, a little funny.

Sure enough, there is no one in this world who can't be bought, only if you don't use the right method.

Regarding the opinions on the establishment of Xinghai City, Cheng Shijie directly sent it to the Liaodong Management Committee for discussion and specific implementation measures.

Now there is not much time left before the beginning of autumn, and southern Liaoning is not the four seasons, in fact, there is no obvious spring and autumn in southern Liaoning, autumn is cold to the bone, you can get rid of cotton clothes at the beginning of spring, wear single clothes.

Time is running out.

The document that will establish Xinghai City will be signed, and after it is issued.

Cheng Shijie looked at Yang Qingyun and said: "Mr. Yang, the biggest problem we are facing at the moment is the high infant mortality rate, not to mention the common people, even the royal family, just like Emperor Taichang, the father of today's sons, he has seven sons, five of whom died young, ten daughters, seven died young, and twelve of the seventeen children died young. ”

"There are actually many reasons for this problem."

Yang Qingyun has not yet begun to explain.

Cheng Shijie said: "The first thing you should do is gather all the stable women in southern Liaoning and train them first; Knowledge of therapy. ”

In fact, Cheng Shijie knows all this knowledge, but the problem is that if he can't train the midwife on fertility knowledge and precautions.

Even before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the infant mortality rate was as high as 200 per 1,000, and the average life expectancy was only 35 years. That is, to increase the number of medical institutions, increase the production of medicines, and establish a public health system covering all levels of health and epidemic prevention, maternal and child health care, and health supervision throughout the country.

This is a huge system project, which requires a little effort, a little bit to do, and there are many difficulties encountered.

But the problem is, no matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere.
