Chapter 1487
Conscription is not a trivial matter. The addition of 48,000 captains of the fourth school, bringing the total strength to 75,000, is also the result of careful consideration by Ying Yi.
Mie Ming is not a whim, but a strategy that Ying Yi has made in his heart. It is not only because of Ying Yi's feelings that he does not want the Great Ming to be destroyed by Tatar, but also because once Tatar occupies the north, it will greatly increase its size and pose a greater threat to Ying Yi. Tatar poisons and kills.
To capture the north before Tatar and keep Tatar out.
Ying Yi occupies six prefectures in Henan, with a population of seven million. Besides, in terms of food and supplies, there is no pressure.
Before 20,000 and 7,000 people, Zhen Henan was enough. But to occupy the north, the expansion of the army is inevitable. To the north, Henan must also stay behind, and at least one colonel must be reserved.
The fourth captain of the expanded army, one of whom is recruiting. It is expected that with Ying Yi's current power and the good treatment of joining the army, it is not a problem to recruit enough troops.
The second is in armaments. When the conscription was planned, the corresponding armament requirements have also been communicated to the Ministry of Moss, and the Crescent Valley has been intensified for forging.
The third is in the framework. The main officers of the fourth colonel must be transferred and promoted from the original department. Zhou Li, Zheng Jiu, Qian Yue, and Zhang Shi are the captains, and the remaining Low Level officers are deployed by the former captains of the two schools. The conscription matters were all recruited by the new captains themselves.

Of course, this general business should be placed in the post-holiday area.
It's a holiday, of course. Regardless of civil and military officials, from the 30th to the 18th of the first lunar month, most of the half-month holidays are scheduled.
From New Year's Day (Spring Festival) to Lantern Festival, Kaifeng and even the whole Henan, the festival atmosphere has become more intense, especially Lantern Festival. From the eighth to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, starting from Emperor Yonglewen of the Ming Dynasty, the official ten-day festival.
Now that Henan is stable, even the 100-million-mu plan has come to an end. There is a bumper harvest around Kaifeng.
There are many lamp buildings along the street. Various merchants and rich people have invested and built them. There are lanterns of various colors. There are lanterns, such as walnut lamps and lotus lamps; there are characters, such as Xiucai lamps and daughter-in-law lamps; there are animals, such as shrimp lamps , turtle lamp; there are birds, such as eagle lamp, Phoenix lamp.

The war seems to be far away, and peace is at hand.
Only the law enforcement officers who lingered in the crowd did not dare to relax. For fear of where there will be rudeness and noise, and where the fire will burn.
On the fifteenth day, commoners from many villages near Kaifeng brought their families to the city to participate in this lively festival. At night, Ying Yi appeared in the gatehouse and led the civil and military to have fun with the people.
There are fireworks and dim lights. There is also a stage under the gate, and the official invites the troupe to start the show, from morning to night. commoners scrambled to watch, applauded again and again.
Many more people, who finally recognized Ying Yi, knelt down and bowed down at the gate, shouting to the sky.
For commoners, it's probably not been such an easy holiday in years. Since Wanli and Chongzhen years of Apocalypse, the political situation has become increasingly decadent, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, let alone festivals, it is enough to eat a full meal every day, which is enough for most commoners.
Now that I don't have to worry about hunger and cold, I suddenly feel that it is valuable. Goodbye to this lively festival, many people burst into tears.
On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Ying Yi's regime machine was operating again. Also on this day, new coins are issued.
Through administrative means, publicize the new currency to the commoners, and use the Chamber of Commerce as the main force to issue the new currency. The commercial divisions at all levels set up the new currency exchange to meet the needs of the commoners everywhere.
People are skeptical about the new currency, but after seeing the new currency in kind, there is no doubt about it.
First is the Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber of Commerce is a semi-official body under the Division of Commerce. All merchants, big or small, are members of Chamber of Commerce. Issuance of new coins Since the Chamber of Commerce, merchants of all sizes have taken the lead in entering the exchange stage.
Kaifeng, the New Currency Exchange Office of the Department of Commerce.
The businessmen came in and out in an endless stream, and a businessman came out with a leather pocket in his arms, smiling all over his face. When he saw an acquaintance who had just arrived, he said hello.
The acquaintance stopped him: "Brother Shen is polite. Brother Shen, is this exchanged?"
The merchant surnamed Shen said with a smile: "It was exchanged."
"How is the quality of the new currency?"
The acquaintance asked quickly.
Many of the businessmen who just arrived nearby raised their ears.
The businessman surnamed Shen said with a smile: "Brother Wang knows it at a glance."
He took out a handful of coins from his pocket, large and small, ding ding dong dong , Blink is radiant in various colors, with a high-end appearance and incomparable luster, which attracts people's attention at a glance.
"This coin is really cute!"
The merchants crowded over, and the probes rushed to watch, and the tsk tsk sounded.
"What material is this made of?"
Someone asked.
The businessman surnamed Shen hurriedly put the coins in, clutched his pockets tightly, and said, "I don't know. But both the appearance and the hand feel are unique and unmatched."
And quietly figured out A few cards looked like they flashed in front of people: "This is a large denomination, and the previous one was a small denomination. Don't crowd, my dear friends, it makes sense to rush in and exchange them."

Li San is a villager from a resettlement village near Kaifeng. He used to be from the Luoyang area of Henan Prefecture, but because the thieves were violent, he dragged his family and fled to Kaifeng. After Ying Yi occupied Kaifeng, he was relocated to a resettlement village outside the city.
Li San's family originally consisted of seven or eight members, but now there are only three remaining, an old mother and a young son. He is good at bamboo art, making bamboo mats and other utensils to sell and subsidize the household. After the deployment and resettlement, Li San's family got 40 acres of land, and it has already been harvested, and the warehouse is rich. But the habitual bamboo utensils subsidize households, so they go to Kaifeng every few days.
When they arrived at the market, they set up stalls, set up bamboo mats, bamboo stools and other utensils, and squatted and shouted.
The business came quickly. A sedan car parked in front of the booth, and a green-clothed maid walked over and asked, "What's your price?"
"Fifteen for a bamboo seat, ten for a bamboo stool." He was a little uneasy.
These years of craftsmanship are worthless. Such as his bamboo mat and bamboo stool, which is exquisite and cute, but it is only worth ten pennies. Can't sell.
This is still a good deal. If it was last year, let alone ten or fifteen, even if it was three or five, it might not be possible to sell a few a day.
"It's so cheap?"
The eyes shined, the green maid quickly turned to the sedan chair and said, "Madam, Madam, shall we just buy this?"
The sedan chair was opened, and out of it came a beautiful and hard to describe woman. The woman looked white and green-clothed as a maidservant. She carefully measured it with Li San's worried expression, and nodded slightly, with pearls on her head, and said, "Your bamboo utensils are also exquisite, are there only these two?"
Li San stammered: "There are only... two." But he was still shrewd: "But the villain can make various bamboo utensils and furniture."
