Chapter 111 Internal Meetings
Xiao Cheng came back, and the regular meeting every ten days can finally be held normally again.

The Weiming Department has been completely eliminated, and Shentangbao can finally start a large-scale expansion with confidence and boldness.

The three-room tile-roofed house with a courtyard in the best position was the first to be erected, and it was also prepared for Xiao Ding's family, but now it is occupied by Xiao Cheng in advance.

It was snowing outside the house, but the inside of the house was as warm as spring. The earth dragon was burning so warmly that no one could wear the thick leather jackets they were wearing.

"Talk one by one!" At the top of the long table, Xiao Cheng saw two prepared pen stickers and knocked on the table.

This is the rule established by Xiao Cheng.

There is a meeting every ten days. If any problems are directly raised at the meeting, if they can be solved on the spot, they will be solved immediately on the spot. If they cannot be solved on the spot, the relevant departments and personnel involved will coordinate again.

"There are too few doctors!" Chen Qiao was the first to stand up and said. "The weather is getting colder and colder, and there are more and more people suffering from frostbite and various other diseases, especially the prisoners of the Wei Ming Department. Now a few of them die every day. Although they are prisoners, they still have one life. If they die like this, There must be some"

"We have invited all the doctors in the surrounding area as much as possible, and even the witch doctors from various departments of the party!" Luo Gang spread his hands and said: "But there is no way, there are only so many people, we need more than [-] people. It is difficult to gather all kinds of medicinal herbs for a while, and you need to go to Yan'an Mansion or even Jingzhao Mansion to buy them, which will take time."

"The captives of the Wei Ming Department are also our rare property, and we should take good care of our own property." Xiao Cheng said: "Of course they still have to do the work, but in terms of food, clothing and housing, we can improve their conditions. Divide them into groups again, and do different things according to their physical conditions to minimize unnecessary attrition. In addition, more medicinal materials should be prepared, and the doctor should try his best to find a way. Here, we want to attract people for a while. It is impossible for a good doctor to come."

The youngest Zhu continued: "According to the current progress, when the main force of the Guangrui Army arrives, the house should be basically completed. Now we have allocated a part of the manpower to start working on the stove and kang in the house, and the carpentry team has also begun Make some tables, chairs and benches in batches, not to mention the beauty, but it can be used anyway.”

Xiao Cheng nodded: "There is still a lot of charcoal, charcoal, etc., which can be purchased from the tribes in Hengshan. They usually burn charcoal by themselves, and charcoal is not uncommon here. Look around to see if there is any open pit that is easy to mine."

The youngest Zhu took a notebook and wrote down each item, nodding her head in agreement.

Luo Gang glanced around, and then said: "Although the quarry has only been in operation for less than a month so far, it is still stable on the whole. We have collected money at both ends. When we enter the quarry, we have to close the market. Fees and corresponding taxes, and at the same time our goods are traded with them inside, and we can earn a fortune. Overall, this first month, we made a net profit of about [-].”

Seeing everyone's calm faces, Luo Gang became a little anxious: "Everyone, don't underestimate this Wanguan. The main reason is that the operation has just started, there are few goods, and many people are just tentatively trading. The merchants in the Song Dynasty behind us have basically not taken the initiative to come over. Only our own caravan is doing this. But even so, they have earned [-] guan, and after one year, that is [-] guan. I estimate that if everything develops normally, three to fifty thousand guan in a month in the future should be a no-brainer. Keep this profit, and the military expenditure of the Guangrui Army will be more than enough in the future."

Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "We have all seen Yuting's efforts. We are very satisfied with the results of the market. Trading is a place where fine water is exchanged, and reputation also needs long-term operation and maintenance. Only when it can be established, we believe that it will get better and better in the future. Maybe next year or the year after that, there will be a profit of [-] to [-] per month."

What he said made Luo Gang smile, and the hard work of this period turned into light smoke and flew away in an instant.I just felt a little lighter.

On the other side, sat a person that everyone was not familiar with, wearing an old sheepskin jacket, a big felt hat, and two long hat ears hanging down, covering most of his face.This person only appeared in the camp once every ten and a half months. Everyone knew that there was such a person, but they didn't know what he was doing. Anyway, every time he came back, he would go to see Xiao Cheng.

"In Dingbian City, it's not very peaceful recently. Miao Shou and his son were still jumping up and down at first, but after the Weiming Department was completely destroyed by us, he disappeared. Now the father and son actually started to move Dingbian The family property in the border town is transferred to Yan'an Mansion and other places. According to my observation, there are always three to five cars every day. The father and son are very rich." Speaking of this, the man smiled and stuck out his tongue. He licked his lower lip, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Miao Shou and his son are already scared. Miao Shou has already resigned from Ma's comfort envoy and begged to be dismissed and returned to the field. However, Ma's comfort envoy has been detained. It is estimated that he will wait until the eldest brother comes. If we are in trouble with us, then we don't care about ourselves, there is no need to chase him down to the end, although this man is covered in braids, and he can be killed if he is caught casually, but how much is this man in the Northwest? Colleagues, how many relatives and old friends between superiors and subordinates, inside and outside the officialdom, those who take advantage of him are not ordinary. If you move him, you will inevitably hate many others. So, weighing the benefits, let's treat this person as a Fart! Without this father and son, there will be basically no resistance to rectify the Dingbian army. Or put it another way, this person will be cleaned up, and we don't need to do it. Go on! "Xiao Cheng raised his finger and pointed at the woolen jacket.

"These actions of Miao Shou can't be hidden from the officers under his command, so the officers under his command naturally panicked and started to find their own way out. They are trying to find ways to transfer outside, or even transfer to the Xiang army. It doesn't matter. And The soldiers don't care, for them, they are just serving as soldiers to eat food, but without the restraint of officers, the security in Dingbian City is a serious problem now, and many young people took the opportunity to come out to commit crimes."

"These criminals, you should take your notebook and write it down, and we will settle the accounts together later." Xiao Cheng said, "It looks like I'm going to meet our appeasement later. Those officers of the frontier army, if you want to leave, please let the comforter open the door and let us get them all away."

Everyone laughed.

The officers are all gone, and the rest is easy to fiddle with.

For the Dingbian army, including Xiao Cheng, they basically didn't put much confidence in them. They only saw that there were taller ones among the dwarves, and they counted as few as they could pick.

For military power, what Xiao Cheng really placed his high hopes on was the upcoming main force of the Guangrui Army and the Iron Kite that he was about to establish.As for the local soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it will take a while, and they will be trained slowly and bit by bit before they can be used to their full potential.

It took Xiao Ding several years of effort to build the Guangrui Army back then.

Xiao Cheng's eyes turned to Xin Jian.

"In the battle of Miewei Mingbu, we finally ran away from Li Du. We have always been worried that Li Xu would react too aggressively and mobilize a large army to retaliate!" Xin Jian said, "But now it seems that we still overestimated this man. , So far, there is no news or sign that Li Xu will send troops to Hengshan. It seems that one is the weather, which makes him hesitant to use large-scale troops in this season, and the other is the attitude of the Hengshan tribes It also made him dare not take action easily. Once he recklessly stepped into Hengshan and was attacked by the various tribes of Hengshan, his people would not walk out of Hengshan. I believe that Xiao Xianxing, Ren Duobu and Tuoba tribe The news of the interview with the patriarch must have reached this person's ears."

"It should be so!" Xiao Cheng nodded: "But still don't be careless."

"Yes, although it seems that there is no danger for the time being, we still sent a large number of scouts in the direction of the Dingnan Army. As long as the Dingnan Army makes any moves, we will definitely know the first time and take necessary countermeasures." Xin Jian said.

"The longer the time, the less chance he has." Xiao Cheng smiled softly: "In three days, we will start to select iron kites. Xin Jian, He Zheng, you should also participate, yours The subordinates should participate even more to see how many people can meet the standards I set.”

"Erlang, didn't the Tuoba Department and the Renduo Department promise to send [-] riders each?" Xin Jian asked.

"He said he would give away five hundred horses, but I didn't say he wanted all five hundred horses. If he can't pass the test, he will send it back." Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "If he wants face, then find some stronger ones. Youngest Zhu, have all the ten sets of Zhajia made by the blacksmith team been completed?"

The youngest Zhu nodded and said, "It's all finished. But Erlang, you have to build three thousand sets of armor like this. It doesn't take a few years, but you can't get it out."

"It doesn't matter. At that time, Dingbian Army will always be able to get a few hundred sets, right? Go to the horse comforter to cry and cry for poverty, and the crying child will have milk. At that time, it will be impossible to get a few hundred sets." That’s the problem. In this way, we’ll get half of it together first, and let’s find other ways to make up the rest while crafting it ourselves! A must be able to get it all together, Ma, and we should be able to get it all together now. , the rest, we must strictly control the people, and we will not accept any unqualified ones. Xin Jian, He Zheng, tell your subordinates, I don't care if they are old brothers or not, if they fail to meet the requirements, You can't join either."
