Chapter 333 The corpse refining furnace was not extinguished for three days and all night.The most intuitive impact of the victory was that the influence of the Donglin Party on the imperial court was not weakened.In history, in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji entered the customs, and this battle ripped off the last fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen was also anxious, and since taking office, the cabinet ministers have been replaced, civil and military officials, and a large number of people have been dismissed.Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Wei Zhongxian, the gentlemen of the Donglin Party who took the opportunity to come up were almost two-thirds swept away directly or indirectly, however, due to the appearance of Quan Xu, he became Lu Xiangsheng's person, Sun Chengzong's person, and he was also a member of the Donglin Party.Although Quan Xu didn't admit it, in Hou Sui's opinion, he was, so in terms of the military department, he was not affected much.Now, at this time, it can be said that the Donglin Party has become the biggest winner.Sun Chengzong is the prince and the prince, the scholar of the Zhongji Palace, and the superintendent of Ji Liao, he is also in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong, Jizhen, Tianjin, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Shandong and other places, and is worthy of the name of the feudal official, at the same time, Lu Xiangsheng as the rising star of the Donglin Party, the governor of Liaodong, including Qian Qianyi, who originally ate melons, also entered Beijing, replacing Zhou Yanru, as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.This is what Quan Xu is most worried about, not only was the Donglin Party not purged by Chongzhen, but it became even more powerful, and nearly half of the prominent officials in the center were obtained by the Donglin Party.What can they do?
Of course, Jeon Wook doesn't care.He was just sitting firmly in Liaodong and watching the scenery.If Chongzhen needs him to go to Guannei to quell the rebellion, he doesn't mind letting his generals brush up their achievements.Lu Xiangsheng's meeting with Quan Xu was a little unpleasant.Because Lu Xiangsheng obviously felt the changes in Quan Xu, when he was in the Daimyo's Mansion, Quan Xu was still a little disguised, and now he is completely no longer concealed.A craftsman, a lowly person, has an annual income of up to 1,000 taels of silver.This is higher than the salary of a first-class member of the imperial court, which makes Lu Xiangsheng feel very uncomfortable.The officials of the Ming Dynasty are really low, but most of the officials are not Qing officials, Li Dongyang is the first assistant of the cabinet, the prince and the prince, the representative of the Chaling poetry school, and has been in the cabinet for 18 years, which can be said to be extremely noble.In addition, the most important thing is that his three sons died at an early age, and the family has very few people, so it should be said that the burden of supporting the family is very light.Moreover, Li Dongyang is not greedy for money, he only lives on his salary, and his life should not be very difficult.However, this is not the case.Li Dongyang has no savings at all, and if he wants to live, he has to sell his paintings and calligraphy.When he died, he had no money to support the funeral, so he had to scrape together money from his old colleagues and protégés.The officials of the Ming Dynasty formed a particularly serious polarization, and the officials who could make money, the rich side, and even the rich could even be said to be rival the country, but the poor officials were really not as good as an ordinary junior and second-class craftsman in Quanji.In addition to wages, there are also craftsmen's houses, and although the current houses have not yet been built, most of them are just foundations, but the problems can be seen from the foundations.The residence that Quanxu gave to the craftsmen in Quanjiazhuang Town did not exceed the scope of etiquette, and now he doesn't care at all.The residential area of the Quanji artisans has been planned and is divided into three classes.Craftsmen below the junior level are not responsible for the residence, and as for the junior workers, the per capita homestead is one acre of land, which is so-so, and it is okay, not too much.However, for intermediate craftsmen, that is, five acres of residence, and more than ten acres for senior workers.At the same time, the ranks of the whole family army were also made public, what private, corporal, sergeant, then second, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel.Directly replacing the general flag (or flag general), hundred or hundred households of the imperial court, the total or the thousand households, in the whole family army, there is not even a title.Of course, what Lu Xiangsheng thought was not that Quan Xu would rebel, he thought that Quan Xu had no need to rebel, as a martial arts upstart, he was now a martial artist, and he was also the chief soldier of Liaodong, and he was in a high position.Lu Xiangsheng considered that Quanxu was reforming, and as a pilot, he was ready to explore a path suitable for the reform of the Ming Dynasty.However, there is a very important question.Quan Xu is not a jinshi and cannot enter the cabinet.He took the road of a military attaché, and this road basically came to an end.Lu Xiangsheng thought about it and decided to confess to Quan Xu: "Dongsheng, what do you want to do?"
”"Survive!""
Survival?"
Lu Xiangsheng was incredulous: "It's so simple?
”"Is it easy?"
Quan Xu shook his head: "When I just arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, I met a group of homeless people, they have reached the point of cannibalism, if you don't care about them, they must be the first to eat, I have a lot of meat, white and fat, and it tastes better than those skinny disaster victims, so I took them to buy fields, Lord Lu, you know, so a little field, if you want to feed so many people, you can't do it at all, but I don't want to die, I have to turn the place that is not suitable for farming into fertile land, and the cultivated land cannot be used by human hands, Let them do the work, such as firing bricks and tiles, the entire Daimyo's Mansion, buy no less than 70 or 80 million bricks and tiles that I remember, of course, there are briquette stoves, briquette molds, and then the whole family Zhuang Town, from scratch, slowly prospered, more than 30,000 people, nearly half of the population of the Daimyo's Mansion City, I only have a lot of land, a total of 150,000 mu, less than one-tenth of the Daimyo's Mansion, I used less than one-tenth of the land, to feed more than 30,000 people, amazing, right?
I didn't pay a penny less in taxes, I didn't starve a single person to death, on the contrary, they ate well and dressed well, and now you are in the town of Quanjiazhuang in the Daimyo's Mansion, and you can't see a single bare-ass child, nor a single unclothed common man!
”"These are certainly not written in books, I have never read these things!""
Lord Lu, the people who teach you to read are actually nerds!"
Quan Xu said unceremoniously: "They don't know how miserable the common people are, let alone how hard it takes to eat a bowl of rice and a bowl of noodles, of course, they don't bother to know, they only have the so-called way of the saint in their minds!"
”Quan Xu pointed in the southwest direction: "Lord Lu, do you know what Huguang is?"
There is the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, the strong are respected, of course, more importantly, I started from reading and reading, I knew the eight words "to help the world, learn to apply." ””Quan Xu smiled bitterly: "Like Mao Yuanyi, I like to read miscellaneous books, read miscellaneous books that you disdain to read, such as "Examination Records", "Agricultural Books", "Qi Min Requirements", "Water Jing Notes", "Miscellaneous Notes", "Guanghan Miscellaneous Records", etc., these miscellaneous books, some teach people to farm, some teach people how to fight drought and disaster relief, some teach people how to make iron, some teach people how to build houses, how to control water......
Actually, even if Master Lu, like Mao Yuanyi, is proficient in miscellaneous studies, you can't do what I did!
”"How is that possible?"
Before Lu Xiangsheng could speak, Mao Yuanyi came over and said, "Why can't I do it?"
I'll have no less stuff than you!
”"Really?""
The problem is actually in people!"
Quan Xu said with a smile: "To give a simple example, the three major gunpowder bureaus in Beijing have tens of thousands of craftsmen, they are hungry, poorly clothed, and have to be scolded and whipped by the overseers, working hard day and night, doing things with their own blood and sweat, but their families are at risk of starvation, if you are them, what would you think?"
Do you still work hard?
Will you still find ways to improve gunpowder and improve firearms?
”Lu Xiangsheng groaned: "So, you lure him with profit?
”"Not bad!"
Quan Xu continued: "I just told them that their technology is very valuable, and if they make gunpowder and invent more powerful gunpowder, they can get a thousand taels, no, it has now been changed to three thousand taels of silver, and a big mansion with five acres of land, they will definitely try their best to make a fortune and change their fate."
Just like shipbuilding, in the Yongle years, the Ming Dynasty could build the world's largest warship and could go thousands of miles to the ocean, but now, the entire Ming Dynasty can't even build a ship of Dafu, what a pity?
”Mao Yuanyi no longer refuted.It's a fact.Lu Xiangsheng lowered his head and pondered.Quan Xu smiled: "Lord Lu, you should be glad that I came, otherwise those gentry in the Daimyo Mansion will definitely have no one available, before, those tenants had no choice but to endure numbly, but now they have a better choice, they can work in my factory, and earn more in a month than they farm in a year, and they are not stupid!"
”Lu Xiangsheng said: "How does this government do?
Why do you teach me?
”"It's easy!"
Quan Xu waved his hand and asked Shen Liangcai to bring over a map, he pointed to Guangningwei on the map and said: "Lord Lu, you take the Tianxiong Army to Guangningwei, it's too late to reclaim the wasteland, but you can let them plant alfalfa grass, plant 100,000 acres of alfalfa grass, which is enough to feed 100,000 war horses."
If there is no food, the imperial court can transport a part, and I can provide a part of it, and we can get through it this year, and in the spring of next year, let's reclaim the famine together, take the soldiers to reclaim the famine, and after planting for three years, divide the ripe fields to the soldiers, 100 acres per person, do you see if they are still desperate?
”Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized: "Those who have constant birth have perseverance!"
”"That's right, Daming raised military households as wild dogs, what is the use of such a troop with more people?"
Quan Xu said with a smile: "The whole family soldiers, there is a pension for the dead, and there is a pension for the injured, they know that as long as I don't die, they will not die in vain, as long as I give the order to attack, they will definitely not retreat, because when they retreat, they and their families will lose the chance to live." ”Lu Xiangsheng stood up and said, "Without further ado, this mansion will rush to the Guangning Acropolis first!"
”"Congratulations to Lord Lu!"
Quan Xu pushed Mao Yuanyi and said, "You come with me, I'll let you see a good thing!"
”Just when Quan Xu was introducing the new smoothbore cannon to Mao Yuanyi, the corpse refining furnace in the Forbidden City in the capital had not been extinguished all night for three consecutive days.Cao Huachun sat on a sitting bed, looking coldly at a group of majestic martial eunuchs who had just finished speaking, holding these thin eunuchs like chickens, and throwing them directly into the corpse refining furnace.
