Chapter 1379
"I want jade stone for one hundred catties."
Ying Yi said.
"jade stone?"
The Xiucai laughed as soon as he heard it: "My lord, Nanyang produces jade. The jade stone jewels obtained from the previous seizures are all in the county government warehouse. The quality is good. The subordinates are hiding well for the adults."
Listening to Xiucai's words, Ying Yi suddenly remembered that he is no longer alone. Defeat Liu thief and Zuo Liangyu, kill Ding Qirui and Hu Dawei, occupy Yuzhou, and confiscate many assets. Among them, jade stone jewelry, gold and silver banknotes are available.
Before he even took out 30% of the reward, this time he didn't turn around by himself.
Ying Yi nodded: "That’s fine. I’ll go to Crescent Valley for a while, and I will leave the matters here to you and my Mount Tai Yue-in-Law. You also take care of the provisions transportation, for the time being I have no time to take care of it."
"Yes, my lord."
Then Ying Yi went to the warehouse to select a hundred jin of jade stone of good quality, and saw the wealth he has now. Excluding the gold and silver bills, the jade stone jewelry alone is of good quality, and the storage in the warehouse is probably worth a 200,000 silver tael.
These jade stone jewels, overwhelming majority are all obtained by copying the residences of Zuo Liangyu, Ding Qirui and the others. In addition to all kinds of banknotes, it is worth less than 400,000 to 500,000 taels. How long have these bastards arrived in Yuzhou? I don't know how to search.
But now it's cheaper, Ying Yi.
Ying Yi packed the hundred jin jade stone in two small boxes and put it on the horse's back. Two guards led the horse behind and walked out of the county office.
Ying Yi is no longer alone in her family. Originally, Ying Yi planned to ride alone, but somehow she was assigned two guards by a scholar.
According to Xiucai's statement, in case there is something trivial, there may be some errands.
Ying Yi did not refuse.
These two guards were soldiers recruited from Crescent Valley earlier. This time Ying Yi occupied Yuzhou and selected dozens of people from the army to guard the county government. These two were among them.
One is called Zhang Si, and the other is called Lin Gen.
Walking on the streets of Yuzhou City, full of coldness. Just after the flames, commoners trembling with fear, rarely came to the street. It was even worse a few days ago, and it was almost difficult to see the silhouette. In the past few days, Zheng Yunzhi and Zhang Bang Anmin gradually became effective. Commoners have been walking on the street, and some shops have opened one after another.
Today's Yuzhou, the rules are determined by Ying Yi. The biggest change is the business tax. A few days ago, related notices were posted, and many merchants brace oneself came to the door, but Ying Yi was forced to go back. To trade on Ying Yi’s site, one must follow Ying Yi’s rules.
For this reason, many merchants have exhausted all means. It is normal to squeeze money into bribes. However, Ying Yi’s influence is a brand new influence, not the old influence of Great Ming that the merchants think. Although some people accepted bribes, they were all dealt with severely by Ying Yi, and the matter came to an end.
But Ying Yi knows that this is just the beginning. Yuzhou is just a county, and Central Plains has been poisoned by thieves for a long time. The big merchants with influence in the past were either killed by the thieves or moved away, but some small and medium-sized merchants had little resistance.
When the occupied territory becomes larger in the future, these shit will naturally happen again.
But Ying Yi has absolute confidence to push them down.
In the business sector, Ying Yi does not have too many ideas. Encouragement is one, tax is one. apart from this, is the land.
Now it’s more important.
Land is the foundation of everything, and at the end of the dynasty, mergers were often serious. Zheng Yunzhi has been working on this issue these days, but it is difficult.
Ying Yi did not act rashly. The influence rooted in the land is the greatest influence of this era. Whether it's an official, a small landlord, or a big businessman from all walks of life. The rich and powerful often occupy large tracts of fertile land, squeezing the living space of commoners.
Ying Yi is mainly military for the time being because of taking into account the thief. When the thief is driven away, it is natural to clean up the matter in retrospect.
If the land is not sorted out, things can't be done.
Close to the city gate, there will be more people.
At the city gate, there is an office set up by the county government. Collecting registered refugees, serving porridge, distributing grain, and recruiting workers are all here. Therefore attracted many people.
As the Nanyang war ceased and Sun Xiucai’s propaganda, many refugees gradually gathered in Yuzhou and Wuyang. They are all needed by Ying Yi.
The population, labor force, and technology all come from them.
Ying Yi stopped for a while and saw that she was organized, and then left the city.
Out of the city, Ying Yi turned on her horse, and the three of them rode on all fours, riding on the billowing smoke and dust to the direction of Fangcheng Mountain.
To this day, there is still no rain. On the land of Nanyang, the destination is withered and barren. The sky was still gloomy, but even if it didn't rain, Ying Yi could only sigh.
The horse's back is ups and downs, Ying Yi thought in her heart, but she felt that it was strong in will but weak in power, and it was temporarily difficult to do so.
"I only hope that it will rain earlier..."
He said without beginning and ending, but Zhang Si and Lin Gen beside him were deeply moved.
...
In the afternoon, Ying Yi finally returned to Bibo Valley.
Fangcheng Mountain is now in a frenzy. One after another, there have been organized teams of slave labor working in the mountains. It will take some time for the more than 30,000 slave laborers to be assembled and reorganized, but it does not prevent the first reorganization from being put into use.
The reorganization of the slave labor camp is naturally clear to Ying Yi. There are more than 30,000 people, and they are organized into 32 slave labor teams according to one organization per 1,000 people.
There are only seven or eight in use today.
Each slave labor team is equipped with a Captain, which is a scholar that Lian Biao recruits and writes. Then select twenty foreman from among them, and use the slave labor foreman as slave labor. There is no other way. Ying Yi is understaffed.
Fortunately, the slave foreman is also pretty good. On the contrary, the foreman selected from the slave labor is more powerful, perhaps to show good to Ying Yi, these foreman are more ruthless to other slave labor.
When Ying Yi entered the mountain, she encountered two teams of slave labor. These two teams of slave labor were responsible for the construction of the mountain road from Bibogu to Xiaowangzhuang.
It didn't take a long time to say it, but after a big battle, I suddenly looked back, as if a long time had passed. Bibogu has indeed become different.
The workshops in Bibo Valley have all been completed. In the valley of more than ten acres, there are two Jinzihao and Huozihao workshops, one each for the others, and the seven workshops are neatly planned and not messy at all.
At the beginning, the gun tips needed by Ying Yi have already been prepared, and now Bibogu’s work is focused on tool manufacturing.
Hoes, rake, hammer and chisel, this is the top priority of Bibogu Workshop after the spear head.
Ying Yi has occupied the land of the three counties. To plant another crop of grain during the season, he must use agricultural tools. And for the needs of all aspects of construction, various tools are also indispensable.
"The various tools produced by Bibogu can already meet the needs of all aspects."
Pu Tiechui and Er Niu followed Ying Yi to answer questions for Ying Yi.
Pu Tiechui said: "The tools needed for the various projects in the mountains and cities below are all produced by Bibogu."
Ying Yi slightly nodded, said with a smile "Then the firearms, can the masters have eyebrows?"
Pu Tiechui looked embarrassed and said: "My lord, the biggest problem is still concentrated on the water source. The water in Jadestorm Lake is not enough. "
In fact, it's not just that.
It's only a few days? To build a firearm, all aspects of the preparation work have not been completed yet.
Ying Yi also knew that she was impatient, smiled and said: "It is reasonable to produce yourself as soon as possible..."
