The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 169 Leading the Army Back to Shaanxi

Yang Sichang's words stirred Tang Ruowang's heart instantly.

Enduring all kinds of doubts and excitement in my heart, I asked patiently: "I don't know if what your lord said is true or not!"

"Am I like someone who likes to lie?"

Yang Sichang asked back.

This sentence surprised Tang Ruowang when he asked.

From this point of view, this matter is likely to happen.

After thinking about it, I felt that there was a problem.

It is impossible for the sky to drop pies for no reason. With such a big benefit in front, there must be something to pay.

"Dare to ask my lord, what should I do next?" Tang Ruowang asked directly.

Seeing that Tang Ruowang was so knowledgeable, Yang Sichang said, "Do you know the new type of army trained by the former governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua? If the imperial court wants to form one or several such troops, how much money will it cost and how long will it take?"

Tang Ruowang was able to come here from thousands of miles away, and he has made a certain reputation, not to mention his personal ability.

If you can't see the problem here, then I'm really sorry for the bumps along the way.

I am afraid that there is another disaster somewhere, and the intensity is not small, not inferior to Jiannu in the north.

Otherwise, the minister of the Ministry of War would not have been forced to come here.

As a Westerner, he has little control over the news, only some news from the market.

He didn't even know about the news that Sun Jie was fighting with the imperial army.

Therefore, he only knew that the Ming court had another battle to fight, but he didn't know who the enemy was.

"Soldiers with firearms spend a lot of money, and I don't dare to say how much money is enough, and I don't dare to talk nonsense." Tang Ruowang replied.

Said very euphemistically, said very politely.

"Well, the imperial court is going to build a military force similar to the former Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua, and I will leave it to you to purchase weapons and train soldiers.

We will definitely support money and materials, if we can do it well, the whole north is so big, you can preach as you please, even if your temples are opened all over the whole north, I will definitely not say anything! "

Yang Sichang, an old fox, dug a hole for Tang Ruowang.

This is the generosity of others. At that time, he will give up the whole north, and Tang Ruowang can do whatever he wants.

He explained some other things, sat here for a while, and then left.

I always feel that the inside of this foreign temple is scary, cold and scary.

The setting sun is like blood, and the world is boundless.

Sun Jie rode a war horse on his way to Xi'an Fucheng.

Behind him is the mighty army he led, the officers and soldiers captured by the army, and the people brought from Jinling.

There are a large number of these people, adding up to 30 people.

With such a large population, if it is just a traditional force of this era, just eating can eat up a force.

But now, all the fertile land outside the city of Xi'an Prefecture belongs to Sun Jie, plus the high-yield potatoes and corn and a modern age, how can there be no food to eat?
Let alone 30, even 30 more, you can still afford it.

The closer it is to Xi'an Mansion, the smoother and wider the official road will be.

Fifty miles away from Xi'an Mansion, a wide cement road appeared in front of everyone.

After Sun Jie left, those Jiannu prisoners were not idle.

Adding bricks and tiles to the construction of Shaanxi at all times, with Xi'an Prefecture as the center, building flat and wide cement roads to major roads in various places.

On both sides of the road is wasteland, most of which are flat. Although it is not as good as the Central Plains, it can be called good land here in Shaanxi.

Although Sun Jie has been seeking population in Shaanxi, the number has not been able to increase.

Today, outside the city of Xi'an Prefecture, there are still a large number of abandoned lands.

These abandoned unclaimed lands, together with those high-yield crops, are enough to feed the people Sun Jie brought.

A small black dot appeared at the end of the road, very fast and steady.

The black spot was getting closer and closer to Sun Jie, and finally he could see its appearance clearly.

A firewood car stopped ten meters in front of Sun Jie.

Liang Wu, who stayed behind in Xi'an Mansion, jumped out of the cab.

The accompanying guards on the carriage also jumped out of the carriage with their weapons in hand.

Hurrying up to Sun Jie, he saluted Sun Jie with a smile on his face.

"My lord, Liang Wu, commander of the second battalion, come to greet him!" Liang Wu said in a loud voice.

Counselor Sun Chaohe of the Second Battalion jumped down from the co-pilot, stood respectfully in front of Sun Jie, and bowed his hands in salute: "My lord, General Counselor of the Second Battalion, come and greet me!"

The personal guards stood in a neat queue, lined up on both sides of the road.

Liang Wu was supposed to meet him twenty miles away from Xi'an Mansion, but later he thought about coming over to have a look, so he drove over with someone in his car.

I just didn't expect that Sun Jie's speed was so fast.

There was no grand welcome ceremony either. Liang Wu originally wanted to organize one, but Sun Jie refused.

Where is this, it's still early!
Sun Jie pointed to the car behind them and asked, "You both know how to drive? How do you feel?"

"My lord, yes, I can transport goods and people. The goods in Fuping Fort can be transported to Xi'an Mansion in a very short time." Liang Wu replied.

Sun Jie nodded, and said again: "Where's Wang Bi? Why haven't I seen him? How is the planning of the residential area that he is in charge of now?"

After collecting the captives from Tongguan, Sun Jie took the people brought back from Jinling and headed west.

Prior to this, Wang Bi was ordered by telegram to plan the residential area for common people outside the city of Xi'an Prefecture.

"Returning to my lord, it has been completed. There are abandoned farmlands everywhere around Xi'an Mansion, and now they are all ours. It is very easy.

Mr. Wang is at the back now, and the two of us came here earlier. "Liang Wu explained.

"it is good!"

Sun Jie nodded, then handed over the war horse under his crotch to Chen Hu, and he drove back first.

There are 30 people behind, stretching out a long way.

This wood-burning car is easy to learn, even Liang Wu has learned it, and everyone else must have learned it as well.

Go back first and get some wood-burning cars from Hyundai.

It is not short of time to sharpen a knife and cut firewood by mistake.

On the way back, I met Wang Bi.

Sun Jie called to the co-pilot.

This down-to-earth middle-aged man who was born in a cashier, now has a red face and is full of energy, he is completely different from the man who was looking for a job under Sun Jie's back then.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Wang Bi reported the situation in Shaanxi after Sun Jie left.

"Five more coal mines in Yaozhou have been opened, and the coal production is enough to support it.

Some iron ore was discovered, and now there is iron output, but the quality is not very good.

The concrete road from Yaozhou to Fupingbao and then to Xi'an Prefecture has now been completed. With Xi'an Prefecture as the center, the longest cement road going out has been built for more than 50 miles.

The living area arranged by the adults has been planned, and food, water and other things can be supplied in sufficient quantities. "

Wang Bi didn't care about the details, and said every word.

As he spoke, Wang Bi's tone became a little hesitant.

He changed his tone and said: "My lord, we used to have few people in our hands, so we could provide them with food, water, and bricks and tiles.

But nowadays there are more and more people, and it cannot always be supported like this.

Copying Shanxi merchants made a lot of money, but there will always be a time when it is spent, the world is so big, it can't go on like this forever! "

"I've thought about this issue, and I've already made plans, so don't worry too much." Sun Jie, who was driving, said.

Sun Jie thought about this question a long time ago.

If we keep supplying food, water, clothing, and houses in accordance with the previous practice, not only will there be "promoting rice, fighting rice hatred", but it is also easy to raise lazy people.

More importantly, the economy is not working.

If the economy cannot function, the whole of Shaanxi will be a pool of stagnant water, unable to burst into vitality.

It is necessary to stir up this pool of water and let the people move.

Of course, the necessary supplies must still be provided.

Sun Jie's approach is to start with the economy.

This time, when we return to Xi’an, we will integrate Shaanxi before the new year, and strive to take the areas from Guanzhong to Yansui Town, and take the remaining places after the year.

After taking these places, the Shaanxi Bank will be established.

The main responsibilities of Shaanxi Bank are similar to those of modern banks.

The silver obtained from Shanxi merchants and Jiangnan was cast into silver coins, and the copper coins were remelted and cast into copper coins.

The common people can enjoy the interest-free loans provided by the bank to support the construction of their homes.

Building a house is a very huge thing, bricks, sand, wood and craftsmen.

People have money in their hands, so naturally they want to spend it on these things.

A series of industries are all driven, which can bring a lot of employment.

Finally, the money will be collected again through taxation.

People's interest-free loans can be returned in batches.

If there are military members or contributors in the family, the loan can be reduced or even directly exempted.

At the same time, large-scale infrastructure construction and factories were built near Xi'an Prefecture to improve living standards and provide more employment opportunities for the people.

Sun Jie originally wanted to use captives for the transformation of Xi'an Mansion.

But after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

If the transformation of Xi'an Mansion is carried out through the formation of common people's work teams, the income of the common people will be greatly improved.

Not only has it driven employment, but it has also stimulated consumption.

As for the captives, let's go to those industries with high death rates in the future.

For example, mining and blasting mountains or something.

Stir up this pool of stagnant water, stir it up, and tens of thousands of people will benefit from it.

Sun Jie was thinking this way, and the city wall of Xi'an Mansion appeared in his vision.

Sun Jie stopped in an open area outside the city, and gave Liang Wu an order to transfer all the people who can drive now.

Now there are thousands of people who can drive.

During this period, Sun Jae went to Hyundai.

Over a long period of time, Fan Xiaopeng has produced almost 300 wood-burning cars.

It's not something sophisticated, it doesn't require electronics, and it's quick to manufacture.

Three hundred cars were concentrated in the large parking lot not far from the factory, and Sun Jie had them sent to the warehouse in batches.

Every time a batch is delivered, Sun Jie will send a batch.

After working hard all day, I finally sent all these cars to the end of Ming Dynasty.

Today's Sun Jie is becoming more and more proficient in controlling the Golden Gate.

As long as the car is in place, it doesn't take much time to transmit it.

After sending the car, Sun Jie went to Fan Xiaopeng's side again.

If you want to mint silver coins, you must have a machine for minting silver coins.

Sun Jie doesn't want to mint silver coins in modern times. Not only is it a waste of time, but it is also very risky.

It's better to let Fan Xiaopeng's factory build a batch of machines that can produce silver coins, preferably steam-powered ones.

It doesn't need to be high-tech, the most important thing is the durability of the leather.

Before Zhang Juzheng's reform, the Ming Dynasty had always been on the copper standard, and after Zhang Juzheng's reform, it became the silver standard.

However, the composition of silver circulating in the market is very complicated, and the sources are complicated. In addition, the minting of private coins was popular in the late Ming Dynasty, which led to chaos in the money market in the late Ming Dynasty.

Using silver coins to unify the money market in the late Ming Dynasty is the best and most trouble-free way at the moment.

Collecting the minted coins completely, the income in exchange is also huge.

For example, if the rated standard silver dollar is one or two yuan, then the ratio of silver seven copper two lead one can be used.

In this way, one silver coin can earn three coins.

The money earned can be invested in the army, infrastructure or improving people's livelihood.

……

After finishing these things, Sun Jie returned to the late Ming Dynasty.

A bright light path is coming from a distance to Xi'an Mansion.

Those were the headlights of a wood-burning car that Sun Jie got from Hyundai.

Resting people and cars, working overtime to send those people to various residential areas.

Wang Bi and the others are watching this matter, so Sun Jie doesn't need to worry too much.

It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I'm already familiar with it.

With a car, these 30 people can be arranged in about two or three days.

Standing on the city wall, Sun Jie let out a long breath.

Finally came back, after making arrangements for these people, it's time to look at the whole of Shaanxi.

Sun Jie stretched his waist, looking at the light path outside the city, he felt much more relaxed.

There were hurried footsteps behind him, and Chen Hu ran up from below, and stood in front of Sun Jie with a strange expression on his face.

"What kind of expression is this? Talk about something!" Sun Jie said.

"My lord, there is a man named Liu Rushi who wants to see you!" The strangeness on Chen Hu's face became more serious.

Liu Rushi is one of the best on both sides of the Qinhuai River, with a great reputation, Chen Hu knew it after a little inquiring.

After Sun Jie took away the girls on both sides of the Qinhuai River, Liu Rushi also mixed in with her.

The old guy Qian Qianyi fell, and the Qinhuai River was cleared by Sun Jie again.

For a woman like her, there is no other way except to go north with Sun Jie.

As for going south and re-entering the wind and dust, I have never thought about it.

After finally rushing out of the abyss, how can I go down again?
The girls brought back from Jinling were immediately arranged by Sun Jie in Xi'an Mansion.

These people have special identities, and there are many captives, if they are not dealt with properly, big trouble will happen.

"Liu Rushi?! She also came to Shaanxi together?!"

Sun Jie was taken aback.

This person is a "female gentleman" in the history of the late Ming Dynasty. I don't know how many "honest gentlemen" have been shamed.

It's just that she didn't expect that she would come along with her.

"Just now, according to the order of the adults, these girls were arranged to the east of the city. As soon as the arrangements were made, she came to the door and said that she wanted to see the adults.

I have to say, this one is called Liu Rushi, and she looks really good. "Chen Hu said.

"In that case, let's go and see!"

　Thanks for the correction, it has been improved!

　　After checking the information, I found that the name "Qinhuai Bayan" came from "Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes" written by Yu Huai, a Fujian literati in the early Qing Dynasty. At first, there were only six people, and Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan were added later, collectively called Qinhuai Bayan.

　　That is to say, the name "Qinhuai Bayan" is the collective name for these eight women in later generations.
