Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 447

Tang Ruowang nodded when he heard the words: "I understand, I understand."

"Then do you know what to do?" Li Jing smiled.

"I know, we are going to treat those poor people who can't look down on the disease, so that those who can't eat can eat." Tang Ruowang said hastily.

Li Jing smiled: "Actually, you are already doing these things, and you may still think in your heart that what I just said is nonsense. In fact, what I want to tell you is that the effect of what you do is very low, and you yourself I know how many congregants you have accepted over the years."

Tang Ruowang nodded in embarrassment when he heard the words, cupped his hands and said, "I also ask the commander-in-chief for guidance."

Li Jing smiled and said: "To cure diseases and save people, it is not enough to rely on your few missionaries to walk around the streets, and as for helping the poor who cannot afford food, it is not enough to rely on the little money you donate.

If we want to treat more people, we have to set up a hospital and recruit more skilled doctors to sit in the hospital.If you want to help those who cannot afford food, it is best to set up a factory to find a long-term job with a stable income for the poor who cannot afford food. "

"This..." Tang Ruowang couldn't help hesitating, and after a while he said: "The commander-in-chief is indeed right, but our funds are limited, we missionaries don't need to charge any fees, but the recruited doctors need to pay salaries. Purchasing medicine also requires money. As for setting up a factory, it needs a lot of money, and the church probably won’t pay us so much.”

"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed loudly when he heard the words: "You said why the church sent you thousands of miles to Daming? Isn't it just to hope that you can develop the congregation? Talk to people, who believes that your god has spiritual powers. Does it mean that our Ming Dynasty does not have its own god?

Mr. Tang, your pope is not a fool, you just need to explain the situation here to him, and then tell him that you will definitely give him a report card that satisfies him, and he will give you whatever money you want of.If it were me, I would definitely call you. "

Tang Ruowang smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said in his heart: "You will be irritated. If I tell our pope what you said, if he doesn't pay the money, he will be a fool and will be looked down upon by you. In order to win this tone, He also has to pay to build hospitals and factories in Daming."

Seeing that Tang Ruowang was a little moved, Li Jing smiled and said, "Actually, there is no loss in the church running a hospital or opening a factory. Unless you have no talents, otherwise, the factory is not profitable? After the factory is in operation, you can turn the factory into a profit." Invest the profits of the hospital to maintain the expenses of the hospital. In fact, you only need to invest the upfront expenses.

Of course, if you want to recruit more congregants, you will need to open more hospitals and factories. This depends on how big your church's goals are. "

Tang Ruowang pondered for a while, then nodded lightly: "I know how to do it, thank you for your guidance, Commander."

Li Jing waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me, you just need to help me do the few things I just said. I will fully support you in building churches, running hospitals, and opening factories."

"Understood, I understand. I will write to the church right away to finish what the commander ordered." Tang Ruowang said hastily.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Okay then, go get busy, I'll wait for your news."

"I will leave." Tang Ruowang got up and gave Zhu Youjian and Li Jing a salute to leave the palace when Li Jing issued the order to evict the guests.

After Tang Ruowang left, Sun Chuanting and Zhu Youjian looked at each other, they both laughed at the same time, and then stretched out their thumbs and said: "Marshal (Brother Li), you are really good, just let this guy fuck you set."

Li Jing waved his hands and said with a smile: "Their church has a lot of money, so if they don't let them bleed, wouldn't that be sorry for them?"

After laughing for a while, Li Jing said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Boya, let me tell you that the barbarian people's science is very good, and in some places it is much better than our Ming Dynasty, we have to absorb their knowledge and use it for us. Just wait and see, this Tang Ruowang will definitely give us a big surprise."

"Hehe, no matter how powerful the barbarians are, they are still far behind the commander-in-chief." Sun Chuanting laughed.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Brother Boya, don't say these nice things, I hear them every day, my ears are getting callused."

"I'm not flattering you, I admire you from the bottom of my heart." Sun Chuanting laughed.

Li Jing waved his hand: "Stop talking about this, let's get down to business."

As he spoke, he took a sip of his teacup and wiped his mouth. Li Jing continued, "Tang Ruowang will help us recruit shipbuilders. Even if recruiting from Macau, it will take more than a month to enter Beijing. It usually takes at least half a year to come to Daming, during this time you have to do two things."

Sun Chuanting clasped his fists and said, "Please tell me, Commander."

Li Jing stretched out a finger and said: "The first thing is to establish a shipbuilding academy. You select a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old people who have read and read to enter the shipbuilding academy to learn shipbuilding technology. I will give you half a year. Set up this shipbuilding academy for me, and when the technicians from the barbarians arrive, these students will immediately enter the learning state.

The second thing is to set up a naval academy, and also recruit some teenagers who are [-] or [-] years old and have read and read to enter the academy.Then gather those experienced navy generals and soldiers, and teach the knowledge of water warfare to these students. I hope that in a few years, we can train a group of talents with knowledge of naval warfare. "

"Understood, after I go back, I will start to handle these two matters immediately." Sun Chuanting said hastily.

Li Jingjing nodded and said: "Brother Boya, you now have to supervise the shipyard, open a college, and recruit the navy. So many things cannot be done without the cooperation of the local government. If you always do things in the name of navy admiral It’s not very convenient, so I appoint you as Shandong Youbu Political Envoy to coordinate and manage military and political affairs, what do you think?”

Sun Chuanting clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Marshal, for your trust. Chuanting will fulfill his mission."

Li Jing smiled: "Brother Boya, I know your ability, but you have to pay attention to your health, don't worry about everything, and focus on the navy."

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Chuanting understands."

It is impossible for Sun Chuanting not to understand.

After Li Jing came to power, he abolished a large number of official positions with overlapping functions. For example, in the past, the highest local official was the governor, who managed military and political affairs in a unified manner. However, Li Jing wanted to separate the military and political affairs, so he abolished this position.The highest local governor is the chief envoy, and the chief military officer is the general.

In the past, the chief ministers were divided into left and right chief ministers. Although each was in charge of a share of affairs, the ranks of the two were the same, which was equivalent to two high-ranking officials in a province. No one can control anyone, and they can only take the dispute to the court for discussion, which is obviously not conducive to handling affairs.Therefore, Li Jing only set up one chief envoy. After the authority is unified, it will be much easier to deal with the problem.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the naval army had a lot of affairs at the time of its founding, and the affairs were of great importance, Sun Chuanting could have served as the chief envoy like Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng.

Now Li Jing asked Sun Chuanting to concurrently serve as the Shandong right chief envoy, at the same level as the chief envoy, mainly because he didn't want Sun Chuanting to be distracted from local affairs.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting understood his intention, Li Jing nodded in relief.

Greeting Zhu Youjian and Sun Chuanting to have a cup of tea together, Li Jing smiled and said: "Brother Boya, although the navy has opened up the sea channel in Liaodong this time and solved the logistics problem in Liaodong, but now the Qing army is still at sea. There are quite a few remaining forces, especially Geng Zhongming, who was born as a pirate and is good at raiding, so we should not take it lightly.

In the future, when transporting food to Liaodong, you have to continue to send troops to escort it. It should be regarded as actual combat training, so that the soldiers can experience more storms and waves at sea. "

Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "I think so too. After this actual battle, I found that it is not enough to train in the near sea. I have to pull these soldiers to the far sea. I plan to send all the ships and soldiers to the sea area of ​​Liaodong to find The remaining navy troops of the Qing army were attacked, and if they could not be found, they were allowed to float in the sea to adapt to the wind and waves at sea."

"Well, this can not only train the soldiers' adaptability at sea, but also improve their actual combat capabilities. In particular, it allows the captains of each ship to learn how to cooperate in combat. It seems that it is useful for you to serve as the admiral of the navy. That's right." Li Jing said with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm also blind to sea battles. But wars, the principle is the same, the only difference is that sea battles are at sea, and the mounts are changed from horses to boats. We can win battles on land, and we can win battles at sea. He can also win battles." Sun Chuanting said with a smile.

Li Jing nodded with a smile: "That's right, combat at sea is just different from combat on land. We have the advantage of weapons. As long as the soldiers can adapt to the wind and waves at sea, then the ships can cooperate with each other. A half-baked navy is really nothing."

Sun Chuanting smiled, looked at the clock, cupped his fists and said, "Commander, I'm going back now. The soldiers are resting in Tianjin. If I come back late, don't make any trouble with these bastards."

Li Jingjing nodded, then turned to Xiaojiu and said, "Xiaojiu, go to the logistics department and ask Mr. Shen to allocate 5 taels of silver to Mr. Sun as a reward. In addition, ask him to allocate [-] altars of good wine to Mr. Sun as a reward for the soldiers." .”

"Thank you, Marshal." Sun Chuanting cupped his fists and said.

Li Jinggong cupped his hands and said, "Brother Boya, take care all the way, and remember to pay attention to your body."

Sun Chuanting nodded, saluted Zhu Youjian, and followed Xiao Jiu out of the palace.

After Sun Chuanting left, Li Jing looked at Zhu Youjian and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, now the overall situation in Liaodong has been settled. When Cao Wenzhao drives the remnants of the Qing army in Changbai Mountain to the north of Ninggu Pagoda, it is time to deal with the North Korean side Dorgon." There are tens of thousands of Qing troops.

However, the North Korean side has not taken the initiative to bring up the matter of internal attachment so far. It seems that they will not give up until the Yellow River.

I plan to ask Cao Wenzhao to suspend the army's advance, and give Dorgon more time to suppress the North Korean rebels, and wait until Dorgon has almost tossed North Korea.Then you take the time to meet the princes of North Korea and point them out appropriately. "
