: Anger turns beauty into beauty

Chapter 102

Cheng Shijie is still accustomed to the way of thinking of later generations. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. He must give some benefits to his subordinates no matter what. Even if he does not give out money, he must at least give out a few kilograms of meat and a bag of noodles. No matter how difficult it is, he must live well.

this year.

But the problem is that now Ning Haijun is no longer the original Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Station. At that time, there were less than 20,000 people in total. Even if each person was given one tael of silver or one stone of food, Cheng Shijie's pressure would not

Too big.

The population of Liaonan is increasing every day.

There is no way, there is too little arable land on the coastal islands, the sea wind is strong, and the living environment is very poor. The key is that the Dongjiang Army has run out of food, and there is only one way to die if they stay on the island.

Therefore, people under the jurisdiction of the Dongjiang Army arrived in southern Liaoning one after another. These refugees from Liaodong who had skills were sent to factories, while those who did not have skills could only be incorporated into hundreds of households in the countryside to farm. In fact, Cheng Shijie did not know the specific conditions in southern Liaoning.

How many people are there? There are 492 people in just 100 farming households. This is the data from three days ago.

This means that there are 49,120 troops in the field alone, plus more than 20,000 Ning Navy officers and their families, the Dongjiang Army has more than 26,000 people, including more than 24,000 combat soldiers.

people, and more than 2,000 auxiliary troops.

This means that during the New Year welfare period, even if one person is given 20 kilograms of grain, which requires 300,000 to 400,000 kilograms, the landlord will have no surplus grain. Cheng Shijie is still worried.

The Meng Xianhan mentioned by Li Fang is simply a pillow given to him when he was dozing off.

However, when it comes to naval battles, Cheng Shijie is a complete layman, leaving professional matters to professionals. Cheng Shijie issued a combat order to Li Zhixiang, codenamed "Cleaning and Cleaning!"

The current Ning Navy Navy has more than 300 large and small warships, mainly concentrated in the two seaports of Jinzhou Port and Gaizhou Port, including Lushun Port. However, even if the Dongjiang Navy Navy is added, this number is nearly 500.

The large and small warships have been acting as transport convoys, and there has never been a battle.

No battle means no reward. These officers and soldiers of the Ning Navy are a little bit emotional. After all, the military regulations of the Ning Navy are there. Only if they make meritorious service in the battle will they have the opportunity to be rewarded with land.

When Li Fang arrived at the naval camp in Jinzhou Port carrying the order written by Cheng Shijie, more than 8,000 naval officers and soldiers began to glow green: "Business is coming!"

At this time, Ning Haijun was cultivated by Cheng Shijie into a monster army. He was happy when he heard the war, but was decadent without fighting. Because of fighting, they could have everything they wanted, including fields, houses, and money.

This is more effective than any mobilization slogan.

For the battle operation of attacking the South Island, Cheng Shijie became the hands-off boss because he did not understand naval warfare. It would be a taboo for military strategists to command an expert by an outsider. More importantly, Cheng Shijie is very busy now and has endless tasks to do every day.

things.

Just like going to the latrine, this problem is very acute now. In just one month, the Golden State Acropolis grew from scratch and increased its population by hundreds of thousands. Fortunately, Ning Haijun's soldiers have already developed the habit.

The Dongjiang Army didn't have much of a problem. Under the supervision of their instructors, they quickly knew how to find the latrine to use the toilet.

If they still don’t know, the pointer in the instructor’s hand will let them know. If they don’t know yet, they will know after a few hungry meals.

But the problem is that the Jinzhou Guard is not only Ning Haijun and Dongjiang Army, but also a large number of Liaodong refugees, especially most of these refugees have gastrointestinal problems. At the beginning, these Liaodong refugees will be all over the mountains and fields looking for places to solve their own problems.

Excretion problem, but after having hundreds of thousands of people, this problem began to become acute.

If left unchecked, hundreds of thousands of people would soak in shit every day, enough to turn the area around the Golden State Acropolis into a large hut full of yellow and white things in a short period of time, a refugee isolation camp without military enforcement regulations.

This trend has already begun.

Reform of the toilet system is imperative.

Cheng Shijie felt a little tired. In later generations, even a five- or six-year-old child would know how to find a bathroom to go to the toilet. But the problem is that these Liaodong refugees have become accustomed to urinating everywhere, especially in the inner city and the inner city of Jinzhou City.

In a very short period of time, the outer city wall became smelly and unpleasant, and patches of alkaline flowers even grew in the corners.

There is no better solution. As Ning Haijun's Ten Thousand Oil Farming House, it took on this task. Ning Haijun's first organic farm was established at the junction of Jinzhouwei and Lushun, outside the north city of Weiwu City.

Fertilizer distribution center. In the era without chemical fertilizers, Cheng Shijie would not waste these excrements.

When crops start to be cultivated in the spring next year, hundreds of households in the field can come here to pick up fertilizer at any time. The conditions are difficult and no resources can be wasted.

Starting from Mighty City, more than 800 public toilets were built successively that could accommodate 200 men and women at the same time. However, this problem was not completely solved because many people were simply illiterate. In the end, they had no choice but to find a painter.

, painting a picture of a man and a woman on the door of the toilet finally solved this problem.

This also made Cheng Shijie realize that it is urgent for all people to be freed from illiteracy.

In addition to the issue of convenience, there is also the issue of hygiene. Even if the weather is cold, the problem of bathing for Ning Haijun soldiers and Dongjiang Army soldiers still needs to be solved urgently. Because the problem of infectious diseases cannot be completely eliminated, Cheng Shijie did not build a large pool for later generations, but

Let the craftsmen build the shower.

Even if they don't use plastic pipes or steel pipes, craftsmen use bamboo pipes to solve this problem. This problem is solved simply and crudely. The public bathhouse is built in two floors. The first floor is used for bathing, and the second floor is used to add water.

The bamboos are connected directly to the lower layer, and small holes are punched in a gourd. The problem is solved simply.

Of course, when heating water, it still needs to be added manually. Hundreds of large buckets are rotated back and forth, which can not only exercise the physical strength of Ning Haijun and Dongjiang Army soldiers, but also allow them to solve the bathing problem by themselves.

When there are too many people, we can’t do anything in a swarm. Basic life matters such as eating, shitting, and bathing need to be taken care of one by one. Everything is not isolated. The overall arrangement of time involves daily training, mobilization, and all aspects of theoretical study and cultural study.

, only an extremely detailed time schedule can coordinate all of this, ensuring that no time is wasted and that each soldier does not miss any learning and training items.

Cheng Shijie handed over this job to Chen Guodong, euphemistically calling it decentralization, but in fact he was being lazy.

Cheng Shijie suffered from too few talents. He envied the bosses of later generations. As long as they had the capital and offered high enough wages, they could recruit outstanding talents. It was really convenient.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie can't find enough talents even though he has money. Ma Shilin under him is busy, Song Xiance is almost divided into three people, Zhou Yandong is busy, and Chen Guodong is also busy.

In desperation, he just wanted to publish a recruitment announcement... Cheng Shijie also knew that Liaonan and Shandong at this time were different. Shandong was a cultural and educational province, while Liaonan was a cultural desert.

With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, I never thought...

…

Zhang Huaize is thirty-two years old this year. His father, Zhang Siyou, was once the head of the second branch of the south Zhang family in Laiyang. In the 37th year of Wanli (1609), he served as a Hucao in Nanjing and later became the county magistrate of Changsha. It is said that Zhang Huaize is backed by Zhang Huaize in Laiyang.

He has a father who is a county magistrate, so it should not be difficult to find a good background.

However, the problem is that a big family is actually equivalent to a small court. Zhang Siyou and Zhang Sicheng once competed for the position of the head of the Zhang family in Laiyang, which was equivalent to intervening in the imperial throne struggle. However, Zhang Siyou lost and was violently killed. At that time

Zhang Huaize was still young, orphaned and helpless, so Zhang Sicheng did not eradicate all of them due to pressure from the clan. Zhang Huaize was able to grow up under the care of his widowed mother.

Due to misfortune in his childhood, Zhang Huaize was relatively precocious and had no contact with other Zhang brothers in the clan, and his life was quite miserable. Until Chen Guodong led Ning Haijun to arrest more than 600 members of the Laiyang Zhang clan, and Zhang Huaize

Because his surname was Zhang, he was arrested and sent to Jinzhou.

Although Zhang Huaize was lonely, he worked hard and studied classics and history since he was a child. Although in order to avoid being in the limelight and being jealous of the children of the clan, he never took the national examination and did not receive any honors, but he was steady and down-to-earth in his life and was willing to do everything.

Be careful.

Zhang Huaize did not take advantage of the benefits of the Zhang family in Laiyang. Instead, he became a prisoner of Ning Haijun and accepted Ning Haijun's labor reform. The other Zhang family's children hated Cheng Shijie with itch, but Zhang Huaize not only did not hate it, but admired and appreciated it.

.

Zhang Huaize has been secretly observing Cheng Shijie's every move. When he learned that Cheng Shijie had recruited a large number of refugees to serve as tenants of Ning Haijun, these refugees or prisoners of war became tenants of Ning Haijun's public land, which was naturally a rare act of kindness.

But as Ning Haijun recruited more and more refugees and refugees, Zhang Huaize sensed Cheng Shijie's ambition and pattern, and other generals at the guard station were all focused on making money.

Cheng Shijie was not only a good hand in fighting, but also a good hand in local management. Hundreds of thousands of refugees flocked to southern Liaoning without causing any trouble. This was much more capable than the magistrate of Laiyang County.

How much food do hundreds of thousands of refugees need to consume in one day? With so many refugees recruited, even a mountain of food will be eaten up...

At this time, Zhang Huaize saw Cheng Shijie's recruitment notice. This was his opportunity. He immediately returned to the diwozi where he lived and discussed with the widowed mother, not for anything else, but for the five silver dollars per month offered by Cheng Shijie.

Zhang Huaize can now earn one stone and five buckets of food through physical labor. The mother and son can barely survive. Five taels of silver is a very considerable income for Zhang Huaize.

Zhang Huaize's mother, Zhang Li, was very supportive of her son joining Cheng Shijie, especially since Zhang Huaize could not be integrated into the Laiyang Zhang family. It was not easy for him to live to this day. A thirty-two-year-old man was not considered old in later generations, but the problem was that Zhang Huaize was in the late Ming Dynasty.

At an age when others his age are becoming grandfathers, he is still unmarried, and the relationship between the Zhang family and the Zhang family is about to end.

If you can earn five taels of silver, then why worry about not getting a wife?

Encouraged by his mother Zhang Li, Zhang Huaize decided to take the risk.

After learning that Zhang Huaize was going to apply for Cheng Shijie's recruitment, the soldiers responsible for guarding Ning Haijun were very polite to him. They not only took Zhang Huaize from Fenglin Town to Jinzhou Acropolis, but also provided meals and escorts along the way.

Even though there are now hundreds of thousands of people in southern Liaoning, there are really not a few large wild animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests. A few days ago, there was an incident where wild boars attacked a refugee settlement. There were about fifty wild boars.

The wild boars rushed towards the refugee settlement site, and were discovered by the Ning Navy patrol team. With a meal of crossbows and fire blunderbuss, these more than fifty wild boars became a special meal for the Ning Navy soldiers.

When we arrived at the south of Jinzhou Acropolis, a huge camp that could accommodate tens of thousands of refugees was busy in the open space in the south of the city. Rows of neat, but very simple adobe houses appeared on the ground.

, farmers in ragged clothes were busy working in front of and behind the house.

"Why is this house built outside the city?"

"Haha, what happened outside the city? Isn't there a city wall outside?"

"Just a chest-high wall, it can only protect against wild beasts, right?"

"It's enough to be able to guard against wild beasts!"

This Ning Haijun soldier said with some pride: "Jian Nu had better come..." "

"Better come?"

"Yes, when the Jian slaves come, I have the opportunity to chop off their heads. One Jian slave's head can be rewarded with fifty acres of land, which is much more valuable than the bandits!"

Even though he was from Shandong, Zhang Huaize had heard of the evil reputation of being a slave. Being a slave in Shandong could make a child stop crying, but in the hearts of Ning Haijun, being a slave was actually a reward in their eyes.

Zhang Huaize is a little confused.

This is confidence.

Strong self-confidence.
