Chapter 199 Military Training Retreats in the Face of Difficulties
Chapter 199
Power is like an addictive poison, for these hereditary guards, they are born with a taste of power, don't look at the military general is a grandson in front of the civil minister, but in front of the ordinary military household, it is a high-ranking uncle.
No matter how poor the guards are, those guards are actually not poor, otherwise, when Cheng Shijie spends money to buy officials, he will not spend eight thousand taels of silver. There is no way, this official position is worth this price, not to mention, the poorer the place, the more oil and water this official position has.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away.
Cheng Shijie wants to take over the power of these guards, they will definitely be unhappy, although they are pinched by Cheng Shijie's boss, but it is not easy to get them to cooperate.
Cheng Shijie wanted to deal with the matter of the guard station immediately, but this idea could only be an idea, because he had too much backlog.
Many people naturally think that the bigger the official does, the easier it is. This is actually a wrong idea, one person has one heart, ten people have ten minds, just as the so-called people are difficult to reconcile, to be an official or a leader, it is necessary to unify the thinking of the majority of people. It's like a small elongation of a production line, with more than a dozen people under his hands.
As an elongation, it is not only necessary to understand the production plan of the day, product quality and efficiency, but also to understand the employees on a line, whether they are unwell and have negative emotions.
The first problem that Cheng Shijie faced was that the talents in his hands were far from enough, and the town fort was the grassroots management unit in southern Liaoning, and the smaller one was the hundred households. As a matter of fact, many town guards and mayors are illiterate, and the problem of illiteracy is even greater, and even the population of each town, the place of origin, the youth, the male and the female, cannot be counted.
Because without data, it is impossible to arrange the tasks of tuntian in various places, and in the future generations, it is very difficult to grasp what anyone can do, in this era. In order to increase the literacy talents under his rule, Cheng Shijie could only let Sun Zhili spend money in the capital to hire buddies trained by the firm.
But the problem is that these people can't just use it, and put a guy directly in the position of the manager at once, if there is no problem, Cheng Shijie's eyes can be deducted.
Don't be too naΓ―ve, human nature is the most complicated thing, the sub-line of the mountain wolf, the ambition to become rampant, this is actually most of the human nature, everyone has friends around them, there must be simple and kind, but most of them are actually real villains.
Cheng Shijie is facing such a problem, he promoted young people from poor backgrounds, it is said that they should also care about the poor, in fact, the people who really have no bottom line and principles are these people.
On the first day Cheng Shijie came back, he signed 39 death penalty certificates, and Cheng Shijie also knew that saving a cadre was easier and cheaper than raising a cadre, and the 39 death penalty letters he signed were actually the kind that they had been taught repeatedly, and they were stupid and bad.
Cheng Shijie stipulated that any businessman doing business in Liaodong must pay taxes in accordance with the regulations, but these businessmen corrupted the officials of the Ninghai system, and they turned a blind eye to these businessmen, not only did not collect taxes, but also used the power in their hands to engage in unfair competition.
The most infuriating thing is that these businessmen treat these young officials as monkeys, and they can find a few prostitutes from Jiangnan who look reasonable and the problem is solved.
Cheng Shijie feels worthless for them, but the problem is that everyone has the right to choose their own life, and every choice can bear the consequences.
Who is to blame for going farther and farther on the road to death?
Cheng Shijie was busy with work, but Zhu Weiyuan was very curious about southern Liaoning, and shouted to go out for a walk, Cheng Shijie was also troubled by various documents and reports on the desk, and it seemed that it was urgent to set up his own secretary team.
Cheng Shijie and Zhu Weiyuan went out in a carriage, don't look at Liaonan as Cheng Shijie's world, but the problem is that every time he goes out, Cheng Shijie has to take dozens or hundreds of people, and his safety is very important.
Cheng Shijie's prestige in the hearts of the people is not low, but the problem is that he has offended a lot of people, and the people who want Cheng Shijie to die can be lined up from Jinzhou to Lushunkou.
At this time, the streets of Jinzhou are very prosperous, all kinds of shops, the shops here are different from those in the capital, more like the kind of shops in later generations, with large facades, large openings, it looks very magnificent.
Shopping with women, Cheng Shijie has a deep understanding, but the problem is that Zhu Weiyuan does not get off the carriage easily, whether it is a ready-to-wear store or a rouge gouache shop, she just takes a few glances at the door.
Cheng Shijie thought that Zhu Weiyuan didn't bring money, so he smiled and said: "Most of the things here are my own business, whether you have money or not, it's okay!" β
Zhu Weiyuan looked surprised: "It's all our own business?" β
"yes!"
"Is that gold shop too?"
"Not only is it a gold store, the one in front is Liaodong Bank, and it is also ours!"
At this moment, in a teahouse in front of him, Cheng Shijie felt a little thirsty, although he could make tea directly in his carriage, but the problem was that now with the improvement of the living standards of the people in southern Liaoning, most of the dozens of tables in the teahouse were filled with customers.
Cheng Shijie was about to get out of the carriage when he suddenly found a commotion in the teahouse.
"Please get out, it's not your business here!"
Cheng Shijie witnessed the discrimination in southern Liaoning, and it was naked discrimination, unjustified discrimination, and the object of discrimination was not Jiannu or Mongols, but two blond and blue-eyed missionaries.
At this time, Europa was still very conservative, and their biggest characteristic was that they did not take a bath. The reason for not taking a shower is actually very funny today.
With the advent of the Age of Discovery, the world was more exchanged, and the Europeans occupied the Americas, and there were many "girls" among the local natives for sexual pleasure, but these women also spread the pathogen Treponema pallidum to the Europeans, and the European colonists who returned to spread the pathogen to their home countries.
This sparked another wave of abstinence that scared Europeans into bathing again. Because at that time, bathing centers all over Europe often also operated certain "special services". As a result, the bath became a source of a major infectious disease.
But people don't know what's going on, and there are horrific memories of the "Black Death" in the past, so many people feel that bathing is a sinful thing, and even have a high idea in their minds to "don't ask for anything", and they have to pray for God's forgiveness afterwards. This also caused the bathing industry to decline in Europe in the 16th century, and even in the 17th and 18th centuries, many nobles were still stinking and bathed three or four times in their lives.
The sweat glands of Europeans are more developed, and in the case of a normal bath, the smell is not mentioned, last year there was a time when the author took the subway, on Line 7, there were not many people at that time, but there were five Europeans in the carriage, because the weather was sweaty, that taste, I would rather squeeze the bus.
The same is true now, although the two missionaries are still clean, the smell on their bodies is like a biobomb.
The guy at the teahouse pinched his nose and said, "We can't entertain the two, this will affect the appetite of the guest officers in our store too much!" β
One of the missionaries was so angry that his hands were shaking, his face flushed and he couldn't speak.
Cheng Shijie felt something interesting, and when the conflict between the two sides broke out, he told the guards to take the two missionaries away.
Zhu Weiyuan asked puzzledly: "Husband, did you kill these two fans?" β
"No, I'll let them go to school to be teachers!"
"Being a teacher?"
Cheng Shijie knows that the missionaries in these years are just like the college students in the 80s, full of gold, mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, astronomy, medicine and other fields, and many of them are even masters in some fields!
Like Matteo Ricci and John Tong, these are very famous cattle people, but also extremely incompetent missionaries, who came to China to do the most not to preach, but to spread the knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, geometry and other aspects from Europe, and to translate European scientific and technological works! For example, Matteo Ricci is a typical representative, who cooperated with Xu Guangqi in translating "Geometric Originals", and after his death, the Ming Dynasty buried him in a grand manner, and also wrote to the Portuguese in Macao, asking them to send someone to help translate "Taixi Water Conservancy", which Ricci could not finish
These two people have not bathed for several months, and they are shouldered with the heavy responsibility of saving the lambs and bringing them back to the arms of God, but the ideals are very full, but the reality is skinny, and the places with a better missionary foundation have been divided among the faithful, and they have been squeezed into southern Liaoning, where the foundation is extremely weak, let alone preaching, they have not even eaten, and it is estimated that they will starve to death on the streets......
"Two red-haired, blue-eyed guys, dirty!"
"If it's dirty, you can take a shower! Give them a new set of clothes, give them two buckets of water to rub for half an hour, and then they will be clean? β
"Aren't you afraid that they will frighten the children?"
"How could it be! Aren't they just a little redder, a little bluer eyes, and not monsters, so what's there to be afraid of? β
"Anyway, I just don't like those two monsters!"
"I just don't like bathing, I threw them into the river and soaked them for three days and three nights, soaked them clean, and then let them shave their beards......
Cheng Shijie's words are holy decrees in southern Liaoning.
Said to soak for three days and three days, then absolutely do not bring a little water, just three days and three nights, fortunately the weather is still a little cold, did not throw them in the river, but put them in a wooden barrel, the water is cold, and very considerate to add hot water to them, only when they eat and convenient, they are allowed to come out.
Bishop Robben is probably the unluckiest bishop.
It's not that Cheng Shijie admires foreign flattery, he must let them teach the children of southern Liaoning, mainly waste utilization, these missionaries have real talent and real learning, if not, then sorry, they don't even have the qualifications to teach.
The officers of the fifteen guards and eight thousand households were very worried.
However, these ordinary military households are very happy, they have not heard less, if you want to say that the happiest military household in Daming's eyes is the military household of the Ning Navy, the military household of the Ning Navy does not need to fight, if you want to work, you can work, and if you want to farm, you can farm, the key is that Cheng Dashuai only collects 30% of the rent.
The rent of Sancheng is actually very high, mainly because Cheng Shijie is responsible for seeds, farm tools and fertilizers, and the investment is not small. If the military and martyr families of the Ning Navy, they enjoy the treatment of five years of tax exemption and ten and a half years of tax exemption. Whatever grain is collected, it belongs to the military households.
As the saying goes, the military households of the Ning Navy have such treatment, which makes the military households of other guards very unhappy, all of which makes them indignant: Everyone is a military household, why are we living a hard life haha, we can't eat enough chaff and vegetables, but you can eat rice and white flour every day, why!
Now that they can come to southern Liaoning, they also have the hope of living a good life of being well fed and clothed! As soon as all the news spread, many military households that had already fled ran back, and there were long queues in front of each hundred and thousands of households.
Cheng Shijie saw 15 households and 8,000 households, totaling 429,000 people, of whom 69 percent were over 16 years old and under 45 years old, about 296,000 people, including 130,244 men, 167,056 women, more women than men. Over the age of 45, there are more than 68,400 people, almost all of whom are demographic dividends.
These 420,000 people have put a lot of pressure on the resettlement management work in eastern Liaoning.
Cheng Shijie took the time to come up with a solution immediately.
The solution Cheng Shijie has a draft, and the key problem is to see if the commanders of the fifteen guards are interested.
"Commanders, Cheng Shuai is invited!"
The commanders, commanders, and commanders also know that sticking out their heads is a knife, shrinking their heads or a knife, where they live, surrounded by the garrison of the Ning Navy, these soldiers will line up in a neat line every morning to go out for training, they are covered with black iron armor polished shiny, but not shining, a spear with a long spear head of a foot is so sharp that it is terrifying. There are also many soldiers who carry strong crossbows, a bag of arrows, and a scimitar nearly a foot and a half long pinned to their thighs, and their eyes are sharp, and their eyes are terrifying.
These days, these Ning Navy soldiers have shocked them too much, and I heard that these Ning Navy officers around them are just the garrison of the Ning Navy, not the real elite.
The garrison is so powerful, what should the elite soldiers look like? This has already made these commanders feel that their heads are as big as a fight, and they don't dare to roll around with Cheng Shijie. Talking to Cheng Shijie about the conditions, they don't have this strength.
"Meet Cheng Shuai!"
"What are you doing, sit down!"
"Cheng Shuai in person, how can I wait for a place to sit!"
"Ben Shuai asked you to sit, you sit!"
Cheng Shijie said this, and these commanders slowly sat down.
Cheng Shijie didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "This handsome Cheng Shijie, bear the weight of His Majesty, guard Liaodong, everyone will be colleagues in the future, and I hope you will take care of me." β
When they saw Cheng Shijie and Yan Yuese, these commanders breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they felt that Cheng Shijie was quite easy to speak.
"How dare you!"
"You ...... Oops! β
Cheng Shijie pointed to a few big bellies in front of him and said: "You are fat, and you can't go to the battlefield, and it will be difficult for you to let them go into battle and kill Jiannu." They are all generals, they should have the appearance of generals, and tomorrow you will train with Ning Haijun......"
Hearing this, the faces of these commanders and commanders turned bitter.
Ning Haijun's training, they have long seen it, this is simply torture, but the torture, not to mention that they are all a lot old, even young and strong soldiers, I am afraid they will not be able to persevere.
"I'll wait ......"
Cheng Shijie just wanted these commanders and fellow commanders to retreat in the face of difficulties.
Cheng Shijie said: "Come on, give them equipment!" β
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the Ning Navy placed the standard heavy armor of the Ning Navy in front of the generals, although this set of armor looks the same as the standard armor of ordinary soldiers, but the thickness is two millimeters higher, don't underestimate these two millimeters, the weight has increased by more than ten catties.
