The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 471

Therefore, the personal soldiers have no auxiliary soldiers and do not need to be specially assigned to auxiliary soldiers. The 600 people are all elite regular soldiers.

Liu Guozheng put on a good court body and served as a general in Mi Island, and still refused to let go of the official position of the Huang family's private soldier, the captain of the personal army. No one cares about Da Ming when he hangs out in Jiawan Island.

The new batch of eight loaders came to the fore after fierce selection, and Shi Huanjin really got the top spot and got what he wanted, but he will be the student of the Patriarch and the disciple of the Patriarch Zhao Shimin in the future, how to deal with this seniority?

There is another loader worth mentioning. His name is Wei Qianghan. He is the adopted son carefully selected by Zhao Rui to inherit the incense of the martyr Wei Min. He was also named by Zhao Rui. He is one of the orphans of Juehua Island.

This year, he is 14 years old and has been trained by Zhao Rui's side, and his grades in school are also among the best. This time, the comprehensive ranking did not reach the top eight, but the extra points for martyr orphans made him get what he wanted.

He Xiang is about to give birth, her belly is too big and she is restless every day, Huang Sheng will go to chat with her whenever she has time. He Guilan knows that He Xiang is about to give birth, so she specially asks Ju Xiang to come to Huangjiawan Island to take care of her.

The more than 10,000 million mu of land acquired by Yongping Prefecture has been fully cultivated. The population of Beizhili, which belongs to the Huang family’s land, is [-]+. With the support of the Huang family’s money, food, and technology, hundreds of thousands of people are embracing every day that is not cold. The construction of water conservancy is endless.

This is the Beidaihe area of ​​later generations, the mouth of the Daqin Railway, with unique geographical and climatic conditions. The reason why the people's living standards were low in the Ming Dynasty was due to insufficient investment.

In the feudal dynasty, the construction of water conservancy was not something that could be done by one family or clan power. It had to be organized by the government. However, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were precarious, and the local officials were overstaffed. The water conservancy facilities built in the prosperous age are now devastated.

Originally, the power of the Little Ice River could be contained by manpower, but unfortunately without an efficient and clean government, the final result would be a vicious circle.

The tragic end of the Ming Dynasty is full of scenes. The famine led to a reduction in production, and the reduction in production led to the bankruptcy of the owner farmers, resulting in the abandonment of a large amount of land and the fleeing of a large number of farmers.

However, the government's taxation needs to be guaranteed, so the tax that was originally diluted to [-] households has become a share of [-] households, which intensified the flight and abandonment.

As a result, more self-cultivating farmers who were decent before went bankrupt, and the landless peasants and refugees who had no food and clothing gathered again and again fled to the Ming Dynasty, allowing the Tungus savages to gain advantage in vain.

With the investment made by Huang's family, this area is expected to become a granary in Beizhili. This year's focus is on water conservancy construction, which cannot be done in winter.

Because he became a major event in Yongping Futai, he took Du Youtian and Jia Ding, the inspector of the inspection department of the family general, to Fucheng to take up the post.

Cheng Dashi recommended Yao San to become a team trainer in the Yongping Mansion, and discussed with Yao San to give him a big name, Yao Shanshou, which has a profound meaning, which can be understood as being good at guarding the family business and being good at guarding the city.

Cheng Dashi was abruptly promoted by Huang Sheng as a quasi-futai master from a bureaucrat. He is a smart man. Huang Sheng likes to deal with smart people who know how to weigh the pros and cons, and keeps a respectful distance from moral gentlemen.

The territory of Yongping Mansion has achieved great things, this mansion is about the same as the officials of the Huang family, of course the tax here will not be in arrears, in fact, the regular tax of Ming Dynasty is not worth mentioning, what drives the common people to desperation is the extortionate miscellaneous taxes and various apportionments.

Cheng Dashi also has his own coal mine now. Since it is close to the sea and it is easy to transport, Huang Jiabao buys all the output, and the price he gives is enough to make him spend money, so he can get a lot of benefits without scraping the land.

In the past, the coal bosses in Daming actually had limited profits. After all, the demand for coal was limited and the price was not high. The Huang family practiced steel, cement, and ceramics on the island, and the demand almost reached the sum of Daming.

Therefore, mining to make money is much safer than encroaching on the fields and digging food to see if the weather is good.To become a member of the Huang family's community of interests, of course he will work hard and be able to account for himself and the people.

It was easy for Ye Chengjing to become the grand master of Funing County. He handed over all defense affairs to Zhou Fang, who had become a military attache due to meritorious service, and handed over all civil affairs to He Guilan and other staff members of the Huang family. water or business.

His requirements are not high. Last year before Jianslavery came, how much food and taxes Funing handed over to the imperial court every year, this year he only needs to pay [-]%.

Ye Chengjing has connections, and the imperial court waived many land taxes for resettling refugees. This year, [-]% of the taxes in Funing have been paid in a unique way!It is not a problem to get all excellent in the examination, and it is a certainty to get all excellent in the three-year examination and be promoted to the first level.

He Guilan refused to live in the sad city of Yongping, and came to Funing to take charge of farming work in Beizhili. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate who came to take office was actually a member of the Huang family. Now she is about to become the county magistrate.

He Guilan is clever, calling on every household to develop breeding industry, giving start-up funds, and finalizing contracts to purchase chickens, ducks, geese and poultry eggs. Many poultry go to the fields to eat bugs, and there will always be one less than one. The effect of curbing locust plagues should be good.

The Huang family’s island has a high standard of living, and there is a huge amount of poultry and eggs for the army alone. The common people will not lose money and lose their enthusiasm for sideline business because of high production.

On the contrary, the pricing given by Huang Sheng is based on scientific calculations. For example, what is the ratio of the price of chicken, pork and wheat per catty to make the common people more than [-]% of the profit? Live food should be able to make more than [-]% of the profit.

Huang Sheng is not a stupid scholar like Daming, saying that a gentleman does not talk about profit. He specializes in checking and calculating profits, whether it is himself or the workers and farmers who support the Huang family system.Because only by making a profit can we continue to develop.

A large number of disabled soldiers from the Huang family came to Beizhili to work. These Huang family fighters who had fought against Jiannu were sought after in Yongping Prefecture. Too many county magistrates recommended them to be inspectors, historians, regiments, etc. Wait, don't mind at all if some people have less arms or a little limp.

These demobilized soldiers not only eat at Daming's public house, but are also staff members of the intelligence department, and they work with unprecedented enthusiasm on double pay.

Driven by them, the victims resettled by Huang's family had hope and a backbone. There were also a few times when Huang Jiayong and several county government servants waited with sticks to supervise the crossing and go to Shanhaiguan to replace the Ming army.

Often when soldiers cross the border, even if the military discipline is good, it will cause local losses to some extent. The lack of military discipline is similar to that of bandits crossing the border. This is an ugly phenomenon that is common in Ming Dynasty.

But it is absolutely not allowed in the Huang family's control area, even the soldiers who trample on the wheat seedlings will be dragged out to beat the board.

The chief general of the guest soldiers was furious at first, but later he was discouraged. They found that they could not afford to offend the person who maintained the order of the soldiers crossing the border, and they might not be able to beat them. He was the servant of Lord Huang, the God of War. They dare not do anything wrong in Yongping Prefecture.

It can be seen that force is sufficient to overwhelm everything, there is no badly managed army, only incompetent generals.
