Chapter 573

After hearing Tong Shiwu's words, everyone felt a little excited. This was a good thing. I had long heard that the new army of the Imperial Guards were the same as the navy. They wanted to fight from all directions and continuously expand their troops. Since this is the case, the first group of soldiers had a huge advantage. Not only was it easy to be promoted, but there was also a great opportunity for promotion. However, everyone did not understand the second half of the sentence. What did the emperor and minister have to do with our feet? Everyone stared at Tong Shiwu eagerly and waited for him to say it.

Unexpectedly, Tong Shiwu didn't speak for a long time. Ma Jun, who was familiar with him, urged: "Brother Fifteen, we only talk halfway through the conversation. Let's continue, everyone's hearts are like a cat."

Tong Shiwu smiled slightly and said, "I'm also thinking about it. As the saying goes, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, forty years from Hexi, our Qing Dynasty has been in the pass for more than seventy years. Should this Feng Shui be changed in turn? No accident, after several battles of the new army of the Imperial Guards, a group of new nobles will surely emerge. Everyone here, if it develops in the future, don't forget to support it."

Although this was not said thoroughly, the few people who were agile in their hearts all appreciated the meaning. He implied that Zhenwu was deliberately training a group of upstarts to restrain or balance the current group of princes and nobles in the court. If this is true, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After Tong Shiwu finished speaking, he felt that he was too straightforward. He nodded slightly to everyone and turned around to leave. When Ma Jun saw it, he hurriedly said, "It's okay to go back, why should Brother Shiwu leave so rush?"

"How come it's okay?" Tong Shiwu stopped and glanced at everyone, saying, "You should buy a gift and visit their respective craftsmen. If you can't pass the re-examination, everything will be nonsense."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but check out the bill and go out. The new army of the Imperial Guard not only had high military salaries, but the rare future was unlimited. If the brothers and nephews in the family were reborn as the new army of the Imperial Guard because of their own failure in the assessment, they would really have no shame to return to Beijing to meet people. It seems that it would be impossible to live in the military workshop in the future.

Seeing that everyone was buying snacks and candies, Tong Shiwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he was wearing a blue flag, his sister married a small manager in Yinzhen's mansion. He came to do a child care today. Although he was a child care, he felt no guilt at all. He had great hope for the new army of the Imperial Guards, and his younger brother Tong Xiaohai was also in the new army of the Imperial Guards.

Tong Shiwu also felt a little uncomfortable with the bannermen's life in the military workshop. However, he knew in his heart that the bannermen have become idle over the years, cheating on their tricks, fearing heavy things, and being unable to calm down. These problems are difficult to change in a short period of time unless they have great motivation or pressure.

This time, the emperor made a cruel revision of this trend, which was a good thing for them. After all, this was a workshop that produced military ordnance. The weapons produced were for their Eight Banners children, which was not a sloppy, otherwise it would harm their own children. Besides, there was great potential in the military workshop. The wages of craftsmen were divided into levels. As long as they were serious and down-to-earth, it was still possible to get five or six or two a month's wages in a few years, which was no worse than military pay.

The news that the bannermen of the inlaid blue flag bought gifts to visit their respective craftsmen soon spread in the purple bamboo forest. Tong Shiwu's words also spread. The other banners were unwilling to fall behind and all rushed to imitate them.

In the newly built villa of Zizhulin, Yinzhen was quite bored in the backyard. Since he spread the news of the assessment, he felt a little nervous. Although he deliberately inlaid the blue flag and the red flag arranged to stabilize the hearts of the people, he was still a little worried. In the past, he rarely dealt with these lower-level bannermen, and occasionally had contact, and left a impression of being respectful and cautious. After half a year in Zizhulin, he had several private visits, and he had a deep understanding of these bannermen.

The group of dilapidated bannermen were poor and demanding face, and they were all loose but arrogant. They were only able to speak well. They were not vague about their serious things and making trouble. I really don’t know what Lao Si thought, and actually sent such a group of waste to the military workshop. If the bannermen were to produce military ordnance alone in the future, who would dare to use the firearms with confidence?

Now that Lao Thirteen is cleaning up and rectifying the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, he is also the bannerman who is rectifying the military workshop. There is no trouble. Lao Thirteen has not rewarded all his brothers after he ascended the throne. Now that he has begun to adjust officials, he is not far from rewarding them. If there is some trouble at this time, the title of title will definitely be affected. If Lao Thirteen has the title of title exceeds himself, he will be shameless to see others.

Just as he was upset, his guard Bao Datong rushed up quickly and bowed and said, "Report to the master, the Lanqian who was the first to purchase gifts to visit their respective craftsmen, and the other flags followed suit." As he said that, he repeated Tong Shiwu's words.

Yinzhen nodded slightly, felt relieved, and wrote down the name Tong Shiwu. After Bao Datong finished speaking, he said lightly: "I understand." Seeing that Bao Datong had not retreated, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, glanced at him and asked, "There is still something? There is no need to hide it."

"Go back to the master." Bao Datong hesitated for a while before saying, "I dare not be too sure, the emperor seems to be in the purple bamboo forest."

The old fourteenth visits in the Zizhu Forest in a private visit? Yinzhen was stunned and asked quickly, "You have seen the emperor, why are you unsure?"

Bao Duan bowed and said, "I recognize the emperor, but I did not see the emperor in the Zizhu Forest, but I only saw Tabike, the third-class guard in front of the emperor. So I just guessed that the emperor arrived at the Zizhu Forest."

"I know, don't let go of the news." Yinzhen reminded him with a slight hue.

After Bao Datong retreated, Yinzhen turned back to the study. After the military workshop in Zizhulin was built, Lao Shisi had been there. It was possible that he would come to visit privately on a private tour in a very small way, but it was not ruled out that he just sent someone to pay attention to the movements of the bannermen. Thinking about returning to the study, Yinzhen called Chang Youzhi, the second housekeeper who followed him to Tianjin, and ordered: "Revise a good table on a table, and dress up the newly sent Datong women and Yangzhou skinny horses."

When he heard this order, Chang Youzhi was also slightly surprised. Who on the ground in Tianjin deserves such great hospitality? Is it because the emperor is coming? He didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand, let me continue the order."

After Chang Youzhi retreated, Yinzhen approached the brazier and sat down. Since the bannermen were doing their duty, if the old Sisi really visited the Zizhu Forest in a private visit, they would definitely come to his garden. It is not surprising that the thin horse in Yangzhou was Datong's wife would definitely refresh the old Sisi. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

The so-called Datong Wives was named after the famous "Prose Sutra" in the Ming Dynasty, also known as "Britain Rhymes". The book contains, "Nine borders are like Datong, and they are prosperous and prosperous, and they do not go to the south of the Yangtze River. The beauty of women and the elegance of things are all in the border villages. The market has been long and has not been subjected to war. The proverb says "Jizhen City Wall", "Yifu Teaching Field", and "Datong Wives" are the three unique features." With the spread of "Prose Sutra", Datong Wives also became famous all over the world, and its reputation is even higher than the thin horses in Yangzhou.

Bao Datong guessed well. Zhenwu did arrive at the Zizhu Forest. The Zizhu Forest is located in the southern suburbs of Tianjin, only more than ten miles away from the city. It is a time for Kuaimazha. The Tianjin Military Workshop not only involves solving the livelihood problems of the bannermen, but also a military industry important place in the future of the Qing Dynasty. How could Zhenwu not come to inspect in person? The reason why he came in was naturally to see the real side and learn in detail about the situation of the bannermen in the military workshop. It is said that hearing is false, seeing is true, and not seeing it with his own eyes, he is really worried.

When Zhenwu arrived at the Zizhu Forest, he was hitting a group of bannermen carrying snacks and gifts to visit their respective craftsmen. Banners dressed in decent clothes and gifts could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. After asking for a moment, his guards learned the whole story. After hearing the news, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel funny. To put it bluntly, these bannermen were just not cleaned up.

Under the escort of Dachun, Luo Jing, and the car and several guards, Zhenwu slowly paced along the street. It was already dinner time, and it was still a while before dark. It was the time when the Zizhu Forest was the most popular. Many craftsmen were not afraid of the cold and wandered around the street in groups of three or three, and the streets were particularly lively.

What surprised Zhenwu the most was that many people in the crowd were wearing imitation naval cotton coats, which were exactly the same, but the colors were different. It seemed that the navy had become the object of worship of these craftsmen. By next year, this type of military coat style might become popular. He couldn't help but look at the clothes of the crowd on the street, most of which were thick.

After wandering around, he paid a little attention to various shops. The best business is the wine shop. Many craftsmen buy wine at the door of the store, drink it and then stroll around. Some stand at the door and taste it slowly. Another one is a small restaurant. Every family is crowded and noisy, and there are many people drinking.

Zhenwu couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Although the wine tax in the Qing Dynasty was not high, since the 28th year of Kangxi, in order to cultivate national strength and save food, Kangxi successively issued an order to prohibit the production of more soybean wine and rice grains in northern provinces, and strictly prohibited it. Therefore, most of the wine in northern China was trafficked from the south, and the price of wine was not cheap. If you are so addicted to alcohol, these craftsmen probably wouldn't have any savings in their monthly wages.

I went there and asked casually. It turned out that these craftsmen who liked drinking were mostly single. One was to drink to keep the cold, and the other was bored. They had nothing to do at night. They drank half a pound of wine and slept until dawn, saving a lot of worries.

Zhenwu smiled slightly when he heard this. This matter could not be stopped. All he could do was to suggest that each workshop hold a free night school to give the ambitious young craftsmen a chance to learn. He turned around and was about to go to a teahouse and restaurant to sit, but saw a man hesitantly walked towards him.

Still seven or eight steps away, the guards and chariots stepped forward and stopped the people in the future. (To be continued) q!~!
