Although the two doctors were having a good chat, it was obviously not suitable for building a large-scale construction school before the flood fighting was successful.

Zhao Hao asked Li Zhi to report to Wu County first, and then work in Suzhou City during the day and go back to Kunshan the next night to teach students.

After all, the maximum value of asset exploitation is an instinct engraved in the bones of capitalists.

Although the two cities are seventy miles apart, Loujiang starts from Suzhou Changmen and directly connects to the Chaoyang Gate of Kunshan City. It can be reached in less than an hour.

Of course, the return journey will take nearly two hours, but Dr. Zhao will arrange the most comfortable Clippers for Dr. Li, with two best boatmen, so that the sailing time can be controlled at one and a half hours.

In this way, Dr. Li will not delay the morning class at all as long as he goes out at the fifth hour, and he can sleep in a cradle-like cabin on the way.

Perfect!

To send Li Zhi, who was about to live in Twin Cities four hundred years ahead of schedule, Zhao Hao asked Gao Wu to invite Jin Ke in.

Jin Ke came to report the results of the county's armed forces and survey.

"Young Master, I have figured it out. There is a gunman team in Kunshan County with a capacity of 500 people, and the camp is located in the north of Zhihetang. But I went to see it and there were only 180 people in the camp. It seems that because I haven't paid a salary for too long, most of them have already gone home to make a living."

A few years ago, the Japanese army suffered severe disease, and the government was in a difficult position and could not protect the people. All prefectures and counties invested in their own group training to guard the county town and resist Japanese pirates.

Kunshan County naturally also established a gunman team, and also built its own swords, guns, and firearms. It really cost a lot of money to hire retired officers to train.

However, in the past two years, the Japanese tide gradually subsided, especially in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, where there have been no large number of Japanese pirates invading for several years, and the counties have been lazy.

Especially in poor places like Kunshan, they naturally cut costs year by year, leaving only a shelf just in case...

"How about the weapon?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"There are fifty bird guns, which are pretty good in workmanship, but they are too poor in maintenance. There are quite a few muskets, but that thing is useless." Jin Ke smiled bitterly: "And the problem is that all the gunpowder is damp, and the weather is not enough to be sunburned, so there is no one shot at the moment."

"In addition, there are many spears, big swords, and spears, but they all need to be repaired for them."

"Well, it's no surprise." Zhao Hao nodded. Looking at the laziness and depression throughout the county, he could think that the situation of the Township Yong was not much better.

"Try your best to do it yourself first, and you can fix it as much as you can. I'll ask the military weapon bureau to come in a while before I can replace it with all the new ones."

"It's true that there is no hurry. No matter how good the bird gun is, it's useless. You must practice hard!" Jin Ke clamped his knuckles and then sighed:

"But they told me about the conditions and said that they had to pay wages before training. And the amount of training should be linked to pay wages, and only half of the wages can be trained for half a day..."

"Where is the double salary?" Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up.

"According to their ideas, we should be able to double the training..." Jin Ke smiled bitterly: "Hey, I heard that Suzhou people are smart, but I didn't expect that Kunshan people would be the same."

"It's nothing wrong with being smart." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "Just take the money to work. Tomorrow you will pay the salary for the last month and tell them that as long as they are good at training, they can make up for the salary at the end of the month. As long as you train carefully in the future, you can also pay the salary for double salary... Of course, you will decide for yourself how to pay."

"Yes!" Jin Ke immediately bowed and agreed.

As he headed south, General Jin had completely put himself in his position.

As long as there is enough money and food, he will devote himself to training Zhao Hao. As for the rest, it is not his turn to worry about him, and he doesn't care at all.

There is no way, who asked Mr. Zhao to give too much?

Only one month's salary was paid, which was enough for him to pay off his debts and he could buy land and build a big house in his hometown next month.

This is really a relative of the emperor, and it is not as good as Mr. Zhao's silver marriage...

"My father has announced that the whole county has entered a state of flood control and several bans will be announced tomorrow. Without enough armed forces to guarantee that the county will be in chaos."

Zhao Hao also ordered Jin Ke: "So we must restore the Gunners' strength and combat effectiveness as soon as possible to maintain order in the whole county."

"Yes." Jin Ke responded in a deep voice and reminded Zhao Hao again:

"There are three squads of yamen runners in the county and one hundred white soldiers. The inspection department has 42 archers, 18 postmen in the inn, 30 urgently delivered 30 soldiers, and 60 guards in the transportation office... Before the gunmen can use it, they must use them to fill their manpower."

"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded and smiled slyly: "Tonight, their commanders are going to settle on the dike. These shrimp soldiers and crab generals are gathered together, and they are rebuilt."

Xu Wei gave an idea to ask Zhao Shouzheng to bring all the sesame and mung bean officials in the county to live on the embankment. Of course, it was for the need to fight against the flood, but wasn’t it just a lure from the mountain?

Only in this way can they gather their soldiers legitimately, train and arrange them in a unified manner.

As for what the county will become in the future, flood control is overwhelming now, who has the time to think so far?

"As for the order." Jin Ke responded without hesitation.

"Is Brother Jin busy alone?" Mr. Zhao asked with anticipation: "When will our helper arrive?"

"It will take almost a few days." Jin Ke also smiled and said, "They probably have arrived in Huzhou now."

"So fast?" Zhao Hao's expression was refreshed.

"This is nothing." Jin Ke said for granted: "If it weren't for the disabled comrades, they would have arrived earlier than we did."

"It's better to be two days late, otherwise I would have gone to Suzhou City and wouldn't I think we're lying people?" Mr. Zhao smiled.

Zhao Hao and Qi Jiguang agreed to help resettle the disabled of Qi's army. After the retired soldiers, Jin Ke and the other two wrote to their former colleagues in Zhejiang, telling them that if they had no life, they could go to Suzhou to join Zhao County.

Suzhou is the most prosperous city in the world, and with the former generals, it is naturally a great attraction for the veterans of the Qi family who have generally had a poor life after retirement.

As a result, I replied that hundreds of people wanted to sign up.

Jin Ke asked Zhao Hao for instructions, and Mr. Zhao expressed a warm welcome.

However, hundreds of people crossed the border were so eye-catching that they came over in batches and in batches.

When I left Nanjing, I received a letter saying that the first batch of 80 people had already set off.

Unexpectedly, the person was about to arrive in just a few days.

In this way, Zhao Hao was completely relieved.

Eighty former Qi family troops, even if there are only twenty people who need to be fully qualified, it is enough to cause a qualitative change in Kunshan's armed forces.

Zhao Hao also urged Jin Ke to strictly enforce military discipline and never allow it to happen, and to maintain order and disturb the people.

This may be difficult for other generals of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Qi family's military discipline was strict and did not violate it. The people everywhere went to eat slurry pots to welcome the king's army. Therefore, Jin Ke fully understood and supported Mr. Zhao's decision.
