Huang Long wanted to give part of Cheng Shijie's territory in southern Liaoning to the Dongjiang Army, but the problem was that Huang Long still wanted to lose face, and he was really embarrassed to speak to Cheng Shijie.

No matter how good his personal relationship with Cheng Shijie was, Cheng Shijie could feed the Dongjiang Army's 2,600 troops for several months, but when it came to the fields, even if Cheng Shijie agreed, General Ning Haijun would not agree.

Cheng Shijie only controls the Dongjiang Army, but does not hold the Dongjiang Army's General Officer Seal. If Cheng Shijie is willing, Huang Long can hold the Dongjiang Army's Chief Officer Seal with both hands and give it to Cheng Shijie.

Although Huang Long only told half of the story, Cheng Shijie also knew a lot about the difficulties faced by the Dongjiang Army.

It is absolutely impossible for Cheng Shijie to allocate territory to the Dongjiang Army, unless the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army send their families to Liaonan to accept the adaptation of Ning Haijun. Ning Haijun treats them as military households, and Cheng Shijie will allocate wasteland to them for reclamation

, and will also provide them with seeds and farming tools.

But the problem is that since then, the family members of these Dongjiang Army officers and soldiers have become Ning Haijun's own people, and they are just wearing the skin of the Dongjiang Army.

"It's hard to do now!"

"Cheng Shuai, no matter how difficult it is, our Dongjiang Army will never forget Cheng Shuai's great kindness!"

"You are welcome!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "Back then, in order to prevent Marshal Mao from luring the slaves to North Korea, North Korea ceded Pidao to station Mao Shuai. What if..."

Cheng Shijie walked to the map of the Korean Peninsula and punched the location of Tamluo Island: "Why doesn't Marshal Huang use Tamluo Island to farm and raise troops?"

"Borrow Tamna Island?"

Huang Long's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again: "I'm afraid North Korea won't!"

"No, it's so easy!"

"Simple?"

"If Japanese pirates attack North Korea, will North Korea's military power be able to resist the Japanese pirates?"

"But the Japanese pirates..."

Huang Long was not stupid, and he immediately understood what Cheng Shijie meant.

There are no Japanese pirates. In fact, it is simple. True or false, as a real Ming Dynasty person, the Japanese pirates Huang Long knew were different from the historical records of later generations.

"Records of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty" records that "the pirates were named Japanese pirates, but in fact there were very few Japanese pirates." At the same time, because Japanese pirates "committed suicide and dared to fight", Ming Dynasty officials were frightened.

It's just a nickname, but in fact they are all from Zhongzhou." The Japanese pirate leaders in the mid-Ming Dynasty were all Ming people, such as Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Ye Qinman, Mao Haifeng, Peng Lao, etc.

In the later period, the Japanese shogunate closed the country, especially in the later stage of the Kansai War, when Samopan was defeated and a large number of Japanese ronai and forced warriors surrendered to Zheng Zhilong.

True or false Japanese pirates are not important, what is important is a clear vision.

As Cheng Shijie opened a window in front of the generals of the Dongjiang Army, the minds of these Dongjiang Army generals began to come alive. Although there were no Japanese pirates in the Dongjiang Army, it was too easy to find them.

"Thank you Cheng Shuai!"

Huang Long smiled excitedly: "Huang knows what to do!"

"That's great. If you need any help, just ask!"

Huanglong had dinner and returned to Lushun overnight to prepare for the Dongjiang Army's land reclamation plan. At this time, the Dongjiang Army's war machine began to activate. In order to help the Dongjiang Army complete the plan of borrowing the east wind, Cheng Shijie very generously provided the Dongjiang Army with six thousand shi of food, and

Seventeen broken pirate ships captured from Meng Xianhan.

These pirate ships were originally planned to be chopped up and used as firewood, but now they are just used as waste.

…

The servants of Ning Haijun Military Mansion began to put up Spring Festival couplets and decorate red lanterns in preparation for the Spring Festival, but Cheng Shijie was still a hard worker.

Located at the dock of Jinzhou Port, rows of large transport ships are unloading goods. This is rice and wheat purchased from Jiangnan, as well as some maltose and other materials.

Workers on the dock loaded sack after sack of grain onto the cart, and the cart-loaded grain and other supplies were transported to the Golden State Acropolis.

Cheng Shijie's final goal was not achieved. He originally planned to distribute 50 kilograms of flour per person to the people in southern Liaoning. Although the grain was purchased, the working efficiency of the mill was too low, so he could only settle for the second best and provide each Liaoningese with flour.

The people of Nannan distributed twenty kilograms of flour. This benefit was available to all people, even an eighty-year-old man or a newborn baby.

Ordinary people are given twenty kilograms of flour, Ning navy officers and military family members, and martyrs are given forty kilograms per person, and rice is five dou per person for ordinary people, and they are also divided according to head.

But Ning Haijun's soldiers, their families, and martyrs each received one stone. When the New Year's benefits were distributed, Cheng Shijie was furious.

Now Ning Haijun has not set up an official office in southern Liaoning, and the imperial court has not appointed officials. In order to facilitate management, Cheng Shijie combined ten villages and hundreds of households together and set up Maqiao in Jinzhou Acropolis and Gaizhou Acropolis respectively.

Town, Gushan Town, Luoshan Town, Tonggou Town, Shahe Town, Lijia Town, Dongjia Town and other 43 towns.

The New Year benefits were distributed according to customization based on the actual headcount of each town. But the problem was that despite concerns that problems would arise, problems still occurred.

The mayors of forty-three towns, headed by Ma Shilin, stood in front of Cheng Shijie and were trained like grandsons.

"Look, what are you doing?"

Cheng Shijie threw a stack of rosters on the ground: "I want you to report the number of people in the town, name, age, gender, place of birth, etc. to me. You only need to distribute the forms to the military households and ask them to fill in their names, ages, genders, etc.

And your place of origin, is it difficult? What a big deal, you guys have been working on it for a whole half a month and it is still a mess for me, why is it harder for you to do something than for me to do it myself? "

According to their own understanding, the mayors of the towns should be the adults of Qianhu. The so-called town is actually the original Qianhu place.

Ma Shilin was scolded so much that he couldn't even lift his head. After a long while, he stammered: "Commander... Commander, they... they don't even know how to read..."

At this time, Ma Shilin felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. He believed that he was quite capable and that he could be a good county magistrate. But the problem was that he completed the task assigned to him by Cheng Shijie very poorly.

"If you can't read, then you're still a shitty mayor!"

Cheng Shijie pointed at the mayors and said: "I will give you three months. No matter what method you use, I will teach you how to write and arithmetic. It doesn't require you to have a high level, at least you can't even do a single sentence."

I can’t even fill out the form!”

These statistical tables were printed by Cheng Shijie from a printing press in later generations, and then moved to the late Ming Dynasty. It took three days to publish these tables to the late Ming Dynasty.

Distributing physical objects like this is the most likely to cause problems.

Cheng Shijie is also suffering from a severe headache now. Everyone who has gone to school knows that it takes at least three or four years to learn from not knowing a word to being able to read and write articles normally. But the problem is that Cheng Shijie does not have this time.

What's more, if you can't even do a very simple household registration statistics, what else can you do?

Herding sheep directly?

Some readers commented in the book review area that the author is stupid and does not know how to handle books...

But the question is, who should I bring it to read? Can it be understood? Let alone people from the Ming Dynasty who have not received modern education, how many readers with a junior high school education can understand it if I give you professional books on metallurgical engineering?

Cheng Shijie did not let these mayors go and began to criticize them fiercely.

"Who else is that? Liu San!"

When Liu San's name was called by Cheng Shijie, his head almost dropped to his knees.

"You have been working with me since the beginning, and you haven't learned anything from what I did? When I asked you to be the mayor, you made the mayor a mess. After struggling for so long, you didn't even do a good job of hygiene.

A good Maqiao Town will turn you into a big toilet..."

Cheng Shijie's finger almost touched Liu San's forehead: "What's even more outrageous is that you don't let merchants pay taxes when they do business in Maqiao Town!"

"Commander, those merchants are so difficult to deal with. They just don't want to pay taxes, so I almost knelt down with them!"

"That's because you are incompetent!"

Cheng Shijie raised his voice an octave and said: "You are the mayor, the leader of a town, and you are the biggest in Maqiao Town. Why don't you use the power given to you by this commander? Who dares not to pay taxes, close shops and arrest people?

Starve them for three days and see if they pay! Also, all of you are the same, those who do business in our southern Liaoning must pay taxes."

Cheng Shijie has no good impression of Ming merchants. In the eyes of merchants, there is nothing that cannot be sold, and they would rather spend tens of thousands of taels in bribes than pay thousands of taels in taxes. In the businessman's logic, paying

Taxes are the most incompetent manifestation.

The failure to raise taxes was also the root cause of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Shilin opened his mouth: "The country and the court give preferential treatment..."

Ma Shilin did not say this, because the Ming Dynasty treated scholars, gentry, officials, and officials favorably, but never treated merchants favorably. In the mainland, almost all big merchants had countless powerful people behind them, so they naturally did not have to pay taxes.

"Commander, I have nothing but good things to say about my humble position, but they just don't pay taxes!"

"Then find a few gangsters to smash up their shops, and then send a few people to sneak in and target a few shops while they are not paying attention to see if they pay taxes!"

All the mayors broke into cold sweat: "Commander, this... this is illegal!"

Cheng Shijie's eyes showed a fierce light, and his sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces: "What is the law? In Liaonan, my words are the law."
