Chapter 203 Trouble

Yan Guo left his voice and people left his name, Chen Mu passed Guanghai, and Guanghai Acropolis left a big gap.

If Shi Qi didn't mention it, he would have forgotten it.

Commander Chen patted his forehead annoyedly, and looked at Shi Qi helplessly, "I knew that the city would not be bombed, and if it was damaged, it would have to be repaired. You go back and calculate the regulations, and see what is needed to repair the city. I will send someone to report later." Give it to the military gate to see how much support Guangdong can provide, and after it is completed, it will be used as the garrison of the Xinning Institute, and it will be called Guanghai City in the future."

"Not only Guanghaiwei, but Nanyangwei also wants to build an acropolis!"

Chen Mu shook his head, worrying a lot. Building Guanghai City is a trivial matter, but building a new city is a big deal. But his newly established Nanyang Guard doesn't even have a guard city. Sooner or later, the city will be built, but how can it be built?

"It's okay for us to make guns and cannons in Nanyang. No one in the whole world can build better than us. Can we build a city?" Chen Mu patted his face in distress, "Why don't Zhou County, no, Zhou Zhifu help?" As a consultant, he has supervised the construction of Chenghai, so there should be some..."

Before Chen Mu finished speaking, he saw the eighth master who was standing beside him with a blank expression and lowered his head and said softly: "Chenghai was burned, and the county was broken."

"Deng Qianhu, do you know how to build a city?" Chen Mu glanced at Wei Balang. This dead boy is tall and has a high spirit. Even the magistrate looks down on him. "Chen is really incapable of doing this. Unless there are a few people who know how to do it, I can mix something in."

When it comes to building a city, who doesn't know the benefits of a bastion, but the problem is that Chen Mu doesn't even have a person who knows how to build a city. To build a fort, he has never presided over the construction of a city, at most he has built a military fort, but the land battle The temporary military stronghold is completely different from the important coastal defense town he wants to build in front of him.

Chen Mu overturned a historic site with his own hands, and now he wants to build another historical site, an important coastal defense town that will still be useful in 200 years.

Guangzhou is the gateway to the enemy's attack from Hailai. It is of great significance to build a strong city in this geographical location.

It's useless to have ideas, you can't build a city with bare hands.

Chen Mu was worried, but Deng Zilong asked as if he didn't see it: "Why is the general worried?"

Knowingly ask!

But Deng Zilong continued to laugh and said: "The defense line of Sichuan and Shushan cities in the Song Dynasty, Qingju, Dahuo, Diaoyu, Yunding and more than ten cities, the general, who built them?"

"You said it was the Sichuan-Shu defense line, of course it was built by people from Sichuan, Diaoyu City, let's kill Meng Ge Dahan's city." Chen Mu didn't know what Deng Zilong meant by saying this, "You look like a mountain man It looks like it has its own ingenious plan, could it be that it was cultivated by the ancestors of the Deng family?"

But Deng Zilong didn't look like a master of city building, but rather like an expert in demolishing cities.

"Where is the ancestor of Deng, but it is true that the mountain people have a clever plan. The general just met Yang Yinglong a few days ago." Deng Zilong smiled with his mouth closed, and said: "Bozhou people have always been good at building cities and villages. Why don't the general ask him for it?" How about some stonemasons, borrow some earthworkers who specialize in city building, and build a mountain city in Xiangshan?"

Banshu stonemason?

"Diaoyu City was built by Bozhou people?"

"Bozhou Erran, they are Bozhou people. Although they never worked for the Yang family, the craftsmen they use are all Bozhou craftsmen. The dynasty has changed. My ancestors expelled the northern captives and returned to China. The craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation will not change. The general wants There is nothing wrong with building a city and looking for people from Bozhou!"

Looking for Yang Yinglong, the little plague god?

"I wrote a letter to the Bozhou Propaganda Department, asking them to recruit some craftsmen. If there is no adjustment in Bozhou, I will find a way. At worst, I will spend money, so as not to invite people to build the city."

Deng Zilong's expression turned pale when he heard Chen Mu's serious business. He knew Yang's intention to marry Chen Mu, but other people didn't know about it. Now that several thousand households are there, Deng Zilong didn't say much, and clasped his fists in response. Continue to sit upright.

"Then, there is only the last issue." Chen Mu wrote down the letter to the Bozhou Propaganda Department in his notebook, and looked up: "Xinhui Qianhu Office, Huang Qianhu."

Huang Dexiang's thinking is not difficult to understand. Chen Mu was born in a serious guard, and he understands what these thousands of households are thinking. It's not that they don't know that more banner troops can make meritorious service in wartime, or they don't know how powerful the banner army is. , mainly on two issues.

The banner army is three or four hundred, and the rest of the army can take care of the farmland of thousands of households if they are tired. If it is more difficult, it will be a waste of food in peacetime.The other is the deserting army. One person does the farm work of three people. There is no sense of honor and disgrace but full of humiliation. Being used at will will bring a huge sense of humiliation, which makes the banner army flee from the guard.

And once they escape, no one is willing to use their own money to recruit soldiers into the guard. The lower the strength, the less successful you are, the poorer you are, the more you will flee the army.

At this point, an ordinary thousand households could not reverse the decay of the guard, unless it was a guard officer like Bai Yuanjie with a deep foundation and several generations of power, but such a guard generally did not have great ambitions.

This is the dead end of the guard.

To put it bluntly, it is a sentence, and the lack of manpower cannot form an effective realization channel.

Not everyone has a mirror, nor does everyone have the ambition of Bai Yuanjie.

"Huang Qianhu doesn't know the source of Xiangshan's income, right? Yu Ding is the source of Xiangshan's income and combat power." Chen Mu tapped on the table and said: "The banner army can eat flesh and be strong because of the surplus livestock; the banner army is unified Women who wear colorful military uniforms are weaving in Xiangshan; the flag army has excellent armor, and craftsmen work day and night in the military bureau; Credit for selling silk and satin."

"A thriving thousand-household establishment can form a chain of labor, sale, and feedback." Chen Mu didn't say the new word "industrial chain", but drew a circle on the table and asked Huang Dexiang: "Guangzhou Under the city, Mr. Chen has seen Huang Qianhu's fearless spirit, and now he is just recruiting some banner troops, is it more terrifying than fighting Japanese pirates?"

"Humble post does not mean against the general."

Huang Dexiang said this sincerely. Everyone has a different level of cognition, and sometimes you have to worry about being misunderstood if you say something well-intentioned. If you want to go to Huguang to recruit soldiers into the army, please allow the general."

Money, what Chen Mu lacks most now is money, "Yes, you are allowed to recruit 600 local soldiers, and then fill the new clubhouse with [-] households from Gou Township, the county magistrate of Xinhui, and give you [-] taels of silver, is that enough?"

Huang Dexiang had nothing to say, and immediately cupped his fists and said: "The humble official will send people to set off today, and within four months, we will definitely recruit [-] banner troops to return!"

"Let's go! Everyone stay in Wei Ya to rest today, drink some wine, and it's not too late to start tomorrow."

Satisfied, Chen Mu gave the order and ordered everyone to go down to rest. He checked the notebook for omissions. When he raised his head, he saw Deng Zilong was still sitting not far away. He asked, "Brother Wu Qiao, is there something wrong?"

Deng Zilong nodded, then got up and asked Chen Mu in doubt: "The general doesn't plan to marry the Yang family, is it because he is thinking about Gufu Tower?"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, Deng Zilong was already in his forties, and he was a serious person. Seeing his serious expression, Chen Mu shook his head, thought for a while and said, "Chen doesn't have to marry Yang, it's the same without Yang's help." Have a good time...I don't want to get in trouble."
