Chapter 146 "Two benefits and two evils" I don't know what Mr.
Quan's high opinion is?
”"Don't dare to be a high see!"
Quan Xu smiled: "It's a bit of an immature idea, Quan can complement Dongjiang Town!"
”In a very short period of time, Quan Xu figured out a truth.In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.It is impossible for him to give free blood transfusions to Dongjiang Town forever, and it can be said that even if Quan Xu wants to, he will not be able to feed millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops.What's more, if he is promoted to Mien and fights Mi Qiu, he is easy to cultivate an enemy.Qin Chengzu's rebellion made Quan Xu deeply understand the weakness of the Ming Dynasty.If he had this strength, he wouldn't need to live in the Daimyo's Mansion at all, just raise an army of more than 100,000 and attack the city and plunder the land.You must know that Beizhili and Shandong are the core key areas of the Ming Dynasty, and even the strength of Henan far exceeds that of Henan, with only 13 guards and 7 independent 1,000 households and 5 pastoral groups, with a literal strength of only 81,244 people.To say that the entire Henan was slaughtered by Li Zicheng three times in a row at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with tens of millions of casualties, it was because of the lack of troops.And Dongjiang Town has a lot of soldiers with rich combat experience and a sufficient population, which are all intangible wealth."
Complementary?""
Yes!"
Quan Xu took Liu Xingzuo and Mao Chenglu into the building of the blacksmith workshop, at this time the prefabricated room was already very hot, but fortunately, there were too many blacksmith stoves in the blacksmith workshop, forming local air convection, which seemed not so hot.Drinking mung bean soup, Quan Xu said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the inch is long, the ruler is short, Quan Mou in this manor, there are excellent carpenters, there are also excellent blacksmiths, and there are excellent masons, the compound opposite is being built, looking at the progress is good, in fact, there is still a lot of space before the completion of the building!"
”"What Mr.
Quan means ......"
Liu Xingzuo was a little displeased: "Let the Dongjiang Army send the people of Liaodong over as slaves?"
”Liu Xingzuo was dissatisfied with Houjin's enslavement of the Han people in Liaodong, so he abandoned Houjin and defected to the Ming Dynasty.It can be said that Liu Xingzuo is the highest-ranking general of the Later Jin Dynasty.For Liu Xingzuo, the most important thing in life is to have dignity.There is no essential difference between being a slave with Quan Xu and being a slave from Houjin."
Otherwise, it is work!""
Workmanship?"
Liu Xingzuo sneered: "It's just a different name!"
”"No, work for me, both parties are voluntary, come and go freely!""
Really free?"
Quan Xu pointed at Niu Jie and said, "Give me an employment contract!"
”"Yes, Master!"
Niu Tie Sturdy walked to the back room and took out a contract from it.Liu Xingzuo took it from Niu Jiejian's hand and glanced at it hurriedly.I saw that it was clearly written on it that the respective obligations and responsibilities of both parties, although this was a model of ordinary employment contracts for later generations, for Liu Xingzuo at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this was simply Quan Xu digging a hole for himself.If you don't want to work with Quanxu, you only need to apply to the superior foreman seven days or half a month in advance, and the finance will settle the salary on a daily basis.Quan Xu pointed to the surrounding fields and said: "The people who work for me in this vicinity, everyone has a salary to get, if you don't believe it, you can ask casually and ask them how much they earn!"
”Mao Chenglu didn't really ask: "How many?"
”Quan Xu stretched out his hand and pointed at Luo Shiming and asked, "Luo Shiming, how much is your monthly bill?"
”Luo Shiming smiled honestly: "Thanks to the reward of the whole master, I will be allocated eighteen acres of land, no need to pay rent, eighteen taels of silver per month, plus one stone and two buckets of rice, six sets of clothes in winter and summer, and twelve pairs of shoes!"
”Mao Chenglu was dumbfounded: "So much?
”If these things are converted into money, Luo Shiming's income is more than that of any general in Dongjiang Town, not to mention the general, even if Liu Xingzuo is a deputy general, he can't get so much money.The poverty of Dongjiang Town, Quan Xu has a deep understanding.As Mao Wenlong's adopted grandsons, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, they are both barefoot and dressed like a flower child, not to mention others.Liu Xingzuo looked at an ordinary soldier next to him and said, "How many monthly cases do you have!"
”"I have three taels of silver a month, six buckets of rice, four sets of clothes in winter and summer, and six pairs of shoes!"
Hearing this, the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army looked at their feet, this kind of soft and well-fitting shoes are very comfortable to wear on their feet.Quan Xu looked at Mao Chenglu and said: "Dongjiang Town's military expenses are limited, good steel must be used on the blade, Quan can build artillery and even muskets for the Dongjiang Army, so let's do it, every time an artillery is built, Dongjiang Town will send a hundred Liaodong people to Quan, and Quan will not treat them badly."
They can work for Quan, or farm the land, including three meals a day, plus five dollars of silver per person per month, plus three buckets of rice, if they are the soldiers' families, the treatment will be doubled!
”Quan Xu never thought about building weapons in the late Ming Dynasty at the beginning, and he always habitually believed that the craftsmen of the late Ming Dynasty used manual methods to build, which was inefficient and of poor quality.In fact, Quanxu fell into a very big misunderstanding.Niu Jiezhuang and other excellent craftsmen have been trying to express themselves, but he has used steel to make them, briquette molds, hoes, shovels and other tools.However, in the eyes of Mao Chenglu and Liu Xingzuo, the technical level of Niu Jiezhuang is already better than that of the best craftsmen in Dongjiang Town.Even the best blacksmiths in Dongjiang Town, when casting iron cannons, will leave hollows, pores, burrs, and flashes.However, the blacksmiths of Quan's blacksmith's workshop did not only cast something similar to the barrel of an artillery cannon out of steel, but the key was that the walls of their pipes were uniform at the back and smooth on the inside.This is mainly because Quan Xu inadvertently provided Niu Jieshi with an inconspicuous but cross-era technological change, that is, Tiefan Cold Casting.In ancient China, there were three major casting techniques, the first was melt mold casting, the second was clay casting, and finally the iron casting.In fact, China has invented the iron fan casting technology as early as the Warring States Period, and it has gradually matured in the late Warring States period.It's just a pity that because the Chinese dynasties did not pay attention to craftsmen, especially the Ming Dynasty, once they entered the craftsman nationality, they were eventually lowly status, so this policy hindered the development of science and technology.Now Quan Xu is offering Niu Jieshi and other craftsmen a high salary of ten taels of silver, and they naturally want to repay Quan Xu.Liu Xingzuo hesitated: "Isn't Mr.
Quan too much of a loss!"
”"No loss!"
Quan Xu looked at Liu Xingzuo and said: "The change of Wuqiao has given Quan a wake-up call, once there is another person like Qin Chengzu, everything Quan has will come to naught, and Quan also needs to protect himself!"
”Liu Xingzuo looked at the tall castle to the east and fell into deep contemplation.Quan Xu said again: "Quan has built an academy here, and in the future, the children of the brothers of the Dongjiang Army can come over and go to the Golden Ladder Academy to study!"
”Mao Chenglu thought for a while and said, "I'll think about this matter again!"
”"As it should be!"
Quan Xu looked at the time and said, "It's breakfast time, let's dine together!""
Mr.
Quan, I want to go there and have a look!""
I'll go too!""
Please!"
Quan Xu naturally knew that Liu Xingzuo and Mao Chenglu were here to see the food situation here in Quan Xu.Liu Xingzuo has actually been trying to find a way out for the people of Liaodong, and the people of Liaodong naturally want to come back, but the land of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded the limit of what it can carry the population, and there is no place willing to accept them.Liu Xingzuo did not follow Quan Xu to eat, but walked directly to the construction site.On the construction site of the castle, seven or eight thousand workers were divided into more than a dozen teams to eat.These eating teams are almost exactly the same, breakfast is steamed buns and vegetables, buns, Quan Xu also followed the local customs at this time, did not buy flour directly from later generations, but bought wheat, and grinded it into flour by craftsmen with stone grinding, of course, it is not divided between wheat husk and flour, such steamed buns look black and have no appearance.There are two kinds of dishes, namely stewed vermicelli with radish and chicken nuggets, pickled chili peppers, and sweet potato seedling soup.The buns are also cabbage and meat trapped, unlike the Jiading soldiers, everyone can choose according to their own taste, everyone is a bowl of rice porridge, a meat bun and two steamed buns.Liu Xingzuo lined up to receive two steamed buns and a meat bun, the taste was so-so, and the biggest advantage was that it was full.Everyone ate very happily, and Liu Xingzuo found that many craftsmen were reluctant to eat steamed buns, but put them away and prepared to take them back to their children or family members.Seven or eight thousand people ate at the table, and the scene was somewhat spectacular.Liu Xingzuo looked at Mao Chenglu and said, "General Mao, how do you feel?"
”"The food is good, and the wages are fair!"
Mao Chenglu lowered his voice: "It's just that I feel Mr.
Quan, it seems to be ......
The picture is not small!

”"Oh!"
Liu Xingzuo deliberately pretended not to understand and asked, "How can you say this?"
”"I don't know if Vice General Liu has noticed!"
Mao Chenglu pointed to the surrounding soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order and said: "Look at them, they are well-trained and well-equipped, and they are almost murderous compared to the Dongjiang Army!"
”Liu Xingzuo said with a smile: "Which landlord doesn't have dozens or hundreds of soldiers now?
”"He has a lot of soldiers!""
This ......
Can there be more handsome hair?
”"Forehead ......"
Mao Chenglu took a bite of the bun hard, turning his grief and anger into food, and he was so stunned by Liu Xingzuo that he had nothing to say.The Dongjiang Army was already the Mao Army, and the generals who were given the surname Mao by Mao Wenlong, including himself, held the power of the Dongjiang Army."
The people of Liaodong are too bitter, when they come here, you see, the fields here are fat and strong, the crops are growing well, and you can harvest two or three stones for one acre!"
Liu Xingzuo said excitedly: "The family rents more than ten or twenty acres of land, and there is hope for this day!"
”"You want to promise him?""
If you cooperate, you will benefit from each other, and if you divide it, why not" Liu Xingzuo looked at a family soldier and said: "Please tell me, I want to see Mr.
Quan!"
”"Oh, Master Quan just went to the Daimyo's Mansion City!""
Then, ......
Chen" "Steward Chen is also gone!"
Quan Xu thought that Liu Xingzuo and Mao Chenglu would think about it for a long time, so he visited Quan's Bank.PS: Now in the rural hometown, the night is too cold, there was only one shift last night, today I work hard to update, I wish you all a happy new year!.
