Chapter 123 Another million
"This is Jia Tao and this is Hong Bo." Pei Ren introduced the two strong men standing in the middle of the tent to Chen Xun: "They were the ones who encouraged the strong men to open the fort gate."

"You two are so courageous, good at planning, and good at skill!" Chen Xun stepped forward and shook hands one by one, praising.

Chen Xun had already heard Pei Ren explain the process of the two men inciting the strong men to open the fort gate.Without planning in advance, without the cooperation of his own people, and just relying on the words of two people, they easily opened the gate of Foshan Fort. His ability is really strong.

"Miao praised the governor. The main reason is that the rich merchants robbed the strong men and planted hidden dangers, so that we took advantage of the loopholes." Jia Tao replied with a smile.

"The power of the explosive bombs also scared the courage of the people guarding the fort. We only killed a dozen people. After that, the servants just hid when they saw us, and no one dared to continue working for the wealthy businessman." Hong Bo followed.

Both of them think very clearly.Perhaps as they said, this matter is not difficult, but in that case, being able to form a tacit cooperation and use force to open up the situation is a rare thing in itself.

Moreover, their mission is to lurk in the fort and report the truth and reality inside the fort to the outside.But the two of them waited for the opportunity to climb the fortress wall, looking for opportunities to make meritorious deeds.This kind of proactive behavior is even more rare.

If they had not been on the fort wall at that time, they would not have even thought about opening the fort gate by chance.

Just because of the ten people Pei Ren sent into the fort, only two of them dared to climb the wall, and then successfully opened the fort door, it seemed that the two of them were very outstanding.When the two armies were fighting, their swords and guns were blind, and the artillery shells would not recognize them as Chen Jiajun's spies. This credit really allowed them to fight with their own abilities.

"There is no need to be modest. This time, Chen Jiajun was able to easily enter Foshan Fort. The two of them took the lead. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them." Chen Xun was in a good mood.

Due to the actions of the two, the craftsmen in the castle basically did not lose, which will be a huge fortune.

Those merchants will be liquidated later, and most of these "ownerless" craftsmen will eventually enter the factories of the military government. Soon, the production capacity of the factories of the military government will be greatly improved.

"We have no requirements." It was the first time that the two of them saw Chen Xun up close, and they were still a little nervous.

Now among the elders in the military government system, Chen Xun has been rumored to be more and more godly.

"Speak boldly." Chen Xun encouraged.

"I want to go to Kaifeng." Jia Tao said.

"I want to go to Hebei." Hong Bo said.

"Pei Ren, how unpopular you are. All your subordinates want to leave you." Chen Xun joked.

"The governor is joking, these two boys want to be promoted." Pei Ren said what they were thinking.

"Okay, you will be rewarded if you have merit." Chen Xun is not a stingy person. Hebei's intelligence system just needs to be expanded: "The Kaifeng Intelligence Station has just changed its director. He has done a good job for the time being, and the south is now in a critical moment. , you can't just change it. Jia Tao, instead of going to Kaifeng, can you go to Jingdong Road?"

"It all depends on the governor's arrangement." Jia Tao bowed his hands.

"Well, in the past, Kaifeng was responsible for the intelligence of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road, which was beyond its reach. Now Hebei (north of the Yellow River, not Hebei Province in later generations) is in chaos, and a separate intelligence station must be set up on Jingdong East Road. ." Chen Xun stepped forward and patted Jia Tao on the shoulder: "You will be in charge. The intelligence station is located in Yingtianfu, Nanjing."

"Take the order! Thank you, Governor." The position of the head of the intelligence station is equivalent to the head of the military, but the actual power is much higher than that of the head.Although there are only about a hundred direct intelligence personnel under his command, the number of non-staff personnel is uncertain. It would be light to increase the number several times.

"Hong Bo." "My subordinate is here."

"You will go to Hebei. You will be responsible for the intelligence on Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road. The intelligence station will be set up in Cangzhou to escort the maritime trade between the military government and the Kingdom of Jin." Chen Xun arranged.

Cangzhou is located on the west side of Bohai Bay, basically including the west coast of Bohai Bay in the state, and its geographical location is very superior.

The Jin army basically passes through the area around Cangzhou when traveling south or north. It is more suitable for the Hebei Lianglu intelligence station to be located here than in Damingfu in Beijing.

"Take the order! Thank you, Governor." Hong Bo followed and saluted.

"Commander, you have transferred two of my generals away now, so you can add some manpower to me." Pei Ren said from the side, claiming credit.

After all, it was the people from their intelligence system who broke Foshan Fort this time. "Okay, you go to Chen Jiajun to pick it yourself. Report who you like, and I will ask the commanders for you." Chen Xun nodded and agreed to Pei Ren's request.

The Chen Jiajun has expanded to tens of thousands, and the intelligence system indeed needs to be expanded.

One battalion has 500 people. The Chen Jiajun now has 22 permanent battalions of the Fourth Army (one full cavalry battalion, one full Miao Dao battalion, and 22 infantry battalions), and has [-] battalion commanders.

Lu Hui has been promoted to the commander of the military capital. Also promoted to the commander of the military capital are Sun Zheng and Lai Qingyun. Each of the three leads an army, and Chen Xun personally leads an army.

Both the Ma Junying and Miao Dao camps were incorporated into the First Army led by Chen Xun, resulting in this army being overstretched to seven battalions.

"Then I have to make a good choice. It just so happens that the officers and soldiers in Guangnan are very peaceful recently, so I have plenty of time." Pei Ren rubbed his hands, as if there was a big meal waiting for him behind.

"The most important thing you should do now is to cooperate with Liu Yu to sort out those merchants. Don't let what happened today happen again under the jurisdiction of the military government. Otherwise, you will definitely not be spared next time." Chen Xun patted his head lightly.

"Definitely not. I neglected internal supervision before, and I will definitely arrest him in this regard next time." Because of his proximity to the water, Pei Ren was only responsible for the intelligence of Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, but because the military government was in Guangnan Nandong Road, so he has become the intelligence chief of the military government.

Chen Xun also intended to cultivate him as an intelligence leader, thus acquiescing to the existence of this phenomenon.

In the future, the military government will definitely separate its internal, external, military, and civilian intelligence systems, and it will not be afraid that Pei Ren will cover his own eyes and ears.Now that the military government is in a period of rapid development, it is easier to concentrate its power by having a leader.

This sorting out took five days before it was finally completed.

After this sorting out, the military government received more than 100 million taels of fiscal revenue and more than [-] acres of farmland, which suddenly gave the military government the confidence to implement the "Land Law".

In the future, if there are large households that treat tenants harshly, the military government can use public land to recruit them. The rent of public land is only [-]%, which will have a huge impact on the land rental market.

In addition to income from cash and fixed assets, more than 1 craftsmen are a huge wealth.

For a time, all workshops were somewhat overcrowded.

A large number of new factories need to be built to fully utilize these people.

As for the old workshops of those merchants, they were all eliminated due to low productivity.

Liu Yu assured Chen Xun that he would spend three months building a new factory to accommodate these workers before the end of the year. By then, the military government's industrial output would have increased by at least twice what it is now.

"What about the production of flintlock guns?" Chen Xun asked.

"Achieve a monthly production of [-] units before the end of the year, and strive to equip the entire army before the end of next year." Liu Yu replied.

"It's slow. We'll recruit more apprentices and train them as soon as possible. We will try to produce Guangzhou-made Type 1 vehicles capable of equipping [-] people before June next year." Chen Xun demanded. The Chen Jiajun will definitely expand next year. Liu Yu's estimated output It will be completely unable to keep up with demand.

"It's easy for people to say that the biggest problem in producing so many flintlock muskets is iron." Liu Yu wondered.

There are iron ore mines in Guangzhou, located in the Tiantang Mountains northeast of Zengcheng County.

"After the year, I will strive to return the iron ore in Zengcheng County to the military government. By then we will mine the iron ore ourselves and there will be no shortage of iron." Chen Xun arranged: "You can train more blacksmith apprentices now."

"That's good." Liu Yu nodded, agreeing to Chen Xun's request.

Chen Xun's thoughts have already drifted to Hainan Island, where there is a huge, high-grade, open-pit iron mine waiting for him to mine, but he really can't spare the manpower and energy at the moment, and he is very helpless.

　I forgot that Zengcheng had been captured, so I changed the next three paragraphs.
