Chapter 45 Coping
"Do you know about Chengtian Gate?" Li Fusheng's words were obviously not asked by Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong had lived in the Forbidden City, how could he not know about Chengtian Gate? Chengtian Gate is the main gate of the inner gate of the Forbidden City. The court officials had to go to the palace to attend court meetings. Chengtian Gate had another name, **. For Zhou Shixiong, this name was even louder.
"How can I not know?" Guan Chongguang was stimulated by Li Fusheng's provocative gaze and glared back with disdain.
"Chengtian Gate was designed and built by Kuai Xiang. Most of the palaces in the Forbidden City, the three palaces in front of the palace (Fengtian, Huagai, Jinshen), the two palaces (Kanqing Palace, Kunning Palace), Changling, Xianling, Jingling, Yuling four imperial tombs, Longfu Temple, Nannei and Xiwan, were all built by him. I forgot to say that he also built the six yamen." Li Fusheng said a lot of palace buildings in one breath. Zhou Shixiong used his poor knowledge to compare it and found that Kuai Xiang was almost involved in most of the construction of Beijing City.
"I remembered that the master of Xiangshan Gang was a clever carpenter, Kuai Xiang!" Guan Chongguang immediately remembered who Kuai Xiang was after being reminded by Li Fusheng. This was because he had contacted many gangs to find fun for Zhu Ying.
"Craftsman?!" Zhou Shixiong's eyes lit up and he asked thoughtfully, "Did Kuai Xiang's descendants inherit their ancestral skills?"
"Although Kuai Xiang became the left minister of the Ministry of Works because of building the imperial palace, Kuai Xiang was only aware of the words and did not hear that his descendants had been admitted to the imperial examinations. Kuai Xiang's son seemed to be a minister of the Ministry of Works, and should have inherited Kuai Xiang's craftsmanship." Li Fusheng thought for a long time before he found some of the information in his memory. It was just that so many prefixes that should seem, which meant that Li Fusheng was also guessing.
"I don't know anything else. Kuai Yannian, the current leader of the Xiangshan Gang, is a direct descendant of Kuai Xiang. He also has a nickname called Wensihexiao. It is said that the box made by Kuai Yannian was soaked in the water for a night. The next day, he opened it without a drop of water." Guan Chongguang's addition showed that the descendants of the Kuai family were still active in the front line of carpenters and were quite famous.
"How old is Kuai Yannian?" Zhou Shixiong asked the two think tanks repeatedly shook their heads. Who would ask about the age of a carpenter?
"Let's do this, I will deal with the spy, so you can't take it seriously. It seems that Pingxiangzhou cannot develop slowly. The Jinyiwei will be transferred back to guard Guqianzhai and support Zhennanguan and Li's villa at any time. The auxiliary barracks will be revoked, and all personnel will join Pingxiangwei, and let Zhou Hou be the agent of Qianhu to maintain the public security of Pingxiangzhou for Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu's elephant team went straight to Shenglong Mansion and asked Ma San to lay his feet in Shenglong Mansion. All the payment for this batch of goods was used to buy slaves, and no one could do anything!"
Zhou Shixiong had to hurry. He regretted pretending to be a charlatan, but at the same time he also hated Zhu Youjian's IQ very much. The premise for me to pretend to be a charlatan is a genius doctor. Not a genius. How could you misunderstand this? It seems that it is not that the brain has water, it is that the water has entered the brain!!! Wait, miracle doctor? Yes, can I make some poisons and something for Cen to taste?
After thinking about it carefully, poisonous smoke is the easiest to get. There is no need for robots to help. There are a lot of poisonous weeds in the forests of Guangxi to provide raw materials. The problem is that poisonous smoke is uncontrollable and is easily affected by natural factors such as wind and rain. It is easy to cause harm to others and oneself, such as the things that Japan has done in China.
Liquid poison has good effect, but is also limited by the use environment. The best effect is placed in stagnant water, and the second spring water is the river water. The other village should be an invincible weapon, so it is very difficult to deal with the army. Because the village uses well water, the army uses live water.
Solid poison is even more unreliable. Zhou Shixiong heard a joke in his previous life. There was a person who sold rat poison and said that his rat poison was absolutely effective, with the premise that he fed the rat poison into the mouth of the rat. This premise is even more nonsense than nonsense, and it is almost a headache!
"Sir, let's recall Jiangzuoying first. Draw a thousand people from Li's Villa back to mining, and let Jiangzuoying build several furnaces in Shangshi Village and directly make steel in Shangshi Village to build weapons. Don't forget that Pingxiang Guards also use wooden gun leather armor." Guan Chongguang first thought of a strong army. In ancient times, good equipment had a great impact on war. Most wars were hand-to-hand combat, with a good knife and a good armor, which was of great benefit to combat power.
Not to mention the distance, the war between the Cen clan of Xunzhou Prefecture against the Lei clan of Hengzhou the previous year was very evident. Hengzhou relied on one thousand elites equipped with iron swords and armor to defeat the three thousand elites of the Cen clan of Xunzhou Prefecture, not only won, but also wiped out the enemy's troops. Assuming that the soldiers on both sides were elite soldiers of the same level, the excellent equipment not only offset the number gap in this war, but also completely defeated the morale of the enemy. Otherwise, how could a thousand people chased and fought against three thousand people?
"Young Master, the food we have on hand is not enough for the end of the year. If we buy a large amount of slaves, half a year may not be enough. Please think twice." As the housekeeper, Li Fusheng became the logistics supervisor, waving the big stick that had no food to eat to wake up Zhou Shixiong, who was very enthusiastic.
"Write a letter to Liu Xiucai and ask him to buy grain from Lang Sang Mansion and tell him that he would solve the food and clothing cost of Li's Villa by himself. This year, I can only give him 30,000 taels of silver. I won't care about how to use it." Before the robbery had heated up, most of the silver was dissipated, and Zhou Shixiong's heart was bleeding!
"Separate the thousands of people in the villa and no longer consume the food in Xiangzhou. This trick is great." Zhou Shixiong accepted Guan Chongguang's flattery calmly. Li Fusheng wanted to expose the faces of these two shameless people. Isn't it just cheating and throwing thousands of people on the head of Ruan Phuket Ajiang and forcing Ruan Phuket Ajiang to help Zhou Shixiong raise people? This is awkward and always feels a bit strange.
"There are other benefits. The young master recalled all the troops, and there was only one Nguyen Phuc left to support the situation in Lang Sang Mansion, and he would soon be unable to hold on. When he came to ask the young master, we would not let us do it!" Li Fusheng despised Guan Chongguang in his heart, but he still had to do what he should do. Promoting the boss's stinky feet is the duty of every outstanding employee. If he doesn't stinky feet, he would not want to make a breakthrough in the workplace.
That night, the three of them discussed the future. Early the next morning, Zhou Shixiong held another emergency meeting to deploy all the work this year. The tax office must be established. The emperor gave Zhou Shixiong the right to collect taxes without vain. He reorganized the craftsman camp and transferred six carpenters from the craftsman camp to serve as military craftsmen in the three garrisons to lay the foundation for future military craftsmen.
Most of the senior craftsmen of Jiangzuo Camp settled in Shangshizhai, and they will be their home in the future. Shangshizhai was renamed Jiangshi Village, with Gong Liu becoming the first village chief and Tie Yong as the deputy village chief. Then, Zhou Shixiong issued a recruitment order. Anyone with a skill can register at Baiyun City Experience Mansion and receive salary according to their ability after selection.
As the name suggests, the territory of Guan Chongguang's experience. Zhou Shixiong faced great pressure and chose a glorious policy of avoidance. Using the excuse of developing new weapons, he handed over the affairs of Xiangzhou to Guan Chongguang, Li Fusheng, and Founder. As for the poor Chen Yongfu, Qianhu and the director of the tax office, his job was to guard the door and collect taxes.
Guan Chongguang once suggested that the soldiers of Qianhu, Zhennanguan, be disbanded by rotation training. Zhou Shixiong rejected the suggestion, "Cheng Peng, I have learned that Chen Qianhu is his fellow villagers, and this kind of village party cannot be disbanded. I think we should be generous and care for our colleagues more. In this way, if you take the time to talk to Chen Qianhu, you will say that I have a batch of weapons in my hand and want to change hands. Ask him if there is any way."
Zhou Shixiong sold weapons to Chen Yongfu in disguise. In addition to trying to win over Chen Yongfu, he also intends to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qianhu Office in Zhennanguan. Who knows when to use it? It is better to prepare for the future than digging a well when it is thirsty.
On the first day of March, Zhou Shixiong held a farewell banquet for Zhou Wu in Zhoujiazhuang. Since the general direction was arranged, Zhou Shixiong has been rushing to the laboratory and wants to develop the mountain bike as soon as possible. It is rare to come out today, to see Zhou Wu off, who is about to develop the business road.
"Xiao Wu, remember it. We haven't walked out for half of the itinerary this time. Lord Ruan Phuc can not provide much help. So, being careful and careful is my warning to you. Never ruin my major affairs because of carelessness." Zhou Shixiong spoke to Zhou Wu for the first time, which scared Zhou Wu and nodded repeatedly, ensuring that he would not make mistakes.
After Zhou Shixiong scared Zhou Wu, of course he had to give him a peace of mind. He didn't want anything to happen to his savior. "After passing Lang San Mansion, you can put my banner. Anyone dares to reach out to you, and you will chop him hard! The power of our Ming Dynasty imperial envoy cannot bear the slightest invasion. Do you understand?"
A caravan composed of one hundred elephants and five hundred Pingxiang Guards guards, Zhou Wu's life is still guaranteed unless he encounters more than ten times the enemy. Zhou Shixiong privately asked Zhou Er to give his BMW to Zhou Wu, reminding him that it is the right thing to do to encounter a large army siege, and to save his life.
Zhou Shixiong rarely showed up, and several in charge quickly grabbed him to report his work. The matter here is very simple, teaching and educating people and supervising military discipline. "Sir, there were four cases of violations of military discipline last month. Please take a look." Zhou Shixiong looked at it and found that it was all small matters of stealing. Fang Zhenghua punished various whippings, which was considered appropriate punishment. Of course, Zhou Shixiong would like to praise him.
Guan Chongguang had too many things. The court did not give Xiangzhou a single coin, so the food and salary had to be taken care of by relying on Xiangzhou. He had seen a lot of tolls turning into drizzle and could not cope with military expenses. In just one month, Guan Chongguang took away 10,000 taels of silver from Zhou Shixiong's private money. After such a loss, Zhou Shixiong would have to pawn his life in half a year.
This is just one of the troubles, and the bigger trouble comes from God. Rich rain in Guangxi is a good thing for agriculture, but it is a huge threat to simple roads. Since February 2nd, many mudslides have broken the roads and caused casualties. If no solution is proposed, the blow to Pingxiangzhou commercial roads will be fatal.
ps: keyboard and keyboard, it is better to go back than to go back. It is better to go back than to live without a house or a house!
