I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 200
Chapter 199

Power is like an addictive poison. For these hereditary guard officers, they are born with a taste of power. Don't look at military generals as grandsons in front of civil servants, but in front of ordinary military households, they are high-ranking uncles.

No matter how poor the guard is, the officers in the guard are actually not poor. Otherwise, when Cheng Shijie spent money to buy an officer, he would not have spent 8000 taels of silver.There is no way, this official position is worth the price, let alone, the poorer the place, the more lucrative this official position.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

Cheng Shijie wanted to accept the power of these guards, and they would definitely not be happy. Although Cheng Shijie, the boss, pinched the pain, it was actually not easy to get them to cooperate.

At first, Cheng Shijie wanted to deal with the matter of the guard immediately, but this idea could only be an idea, because he had too much backlog of work.

Many people naturally think that the bigger the official, the easier it is.This is actually a wrong idea. One person has one mind, and ten people have ten minds. As the saying goes, it is difficult to agree with one another. To be an official or a leader, you must unify the thinking of most people.It's like a small leader of a production line, with more than a dozen people under his control.

As a leader, you not only need to understand the production plan for the day, product quality, and efficiency, but also understand the employees on a line, whether they feel uncomfortable or have negative emotions. If any one person has a problem, it will affect a line. A production line, and a production line affects a production workshop.

The first problem Cheng Shijie faced was that the talents in his hands were far from enough. Zhenbao was the grassroots management unit in southern Liaoning, and the smaller one was Baihusuo.In fact, many town guards and mayors are illiterate, and there are many illiteracy problems. Even simple figures such as the population of each town, birthplace, youth, male and female cannot be counted.

Because there is no data, it is impossible to arrange farming tasks in various places. In later generations, it is very difficult to catch things that individuals can do. In this era, it is very difficult.In order to increase the number of literacy talents under his rule, Cheng Shijie had to ask Sun Zhichen to spend money in the capital to hire employees trained by the firm.

But the problem is that these people can't just take it and use it. Put a buddy directly in the position of a manager at once. If there is no problem, Cheng Shijie's eyes can be pulled out.

Don't be too naive, human nature is the most complicated thing, the child is a Zhongshan wolf, and when he succeeds, he becomes rampant. This is actually most of human nature. Everyone has friends around them. There must be simple and kind people, but most of them are really villains.

This is the problem Cheng Shijie faces. He promotes young people from poor backgrounds. Normally, they should also care about the poor. In fact, they are the ones who really have no bottom line and principles.

On the first day Cheng Shijie came back, he signed 39 death penalty certificates. Cheng Shijie also knew that saving a cadre was easier and less costly than raising a cadre. kind, and it's stupid and bad.

Cheng Shijie stipulated that any merchant doing business in Liaodong must pay taxes in accordance with the regulations. However, these merchants corrupted the officials of the Ninghai Department. They turned a blind eye to these merchants. power, engage in unfair competition.

The most irritating thing is that these merchants treated these young officials like monkeys, and just found a few passable-looking prostitutes from Jiangnan, and the problem was solved.

Cheng Shijie felt worthless for them, but the problem is that everyone has the right to choose their own life, and every choice can bear the consequences.

Who is to blame for going further and further on the road to death?
Cheng Shijie was busy with work, but Zhu Weiti was very curious about Liaonan and clamored to go out for a walk. Cheng Shijie was also overwhelmed by various documents and reports on his desk. It seemed that setting up his own secretarial team was urgent.

Cheng Shijie and Zhu Weiti went out in a carriage. Don't think that southern Liaoning is Cheng Shijie's world, but the problem is that every time he goes out, Cheng Shijie has to bring dozens of people with him. His safety is very important.

Cheng Shijie's prestige in the hearts of the people is not low, but the problem is that he has offended many people. Those who want Cheng Shijie's death can line up from Jinzhou to Lushunkou.

At this time, the streets of Jinzhou were very prosperous, with all kinds of shops. The shops here were different from those in the capital, more like the shops of later generations, with larger facades and large openings, which looked very grand.

Cheng Shijie has a deep understanding of shopping with women, but the problem is that Zhu Weiti doesn't get out of the carriage easily. Whether she encounters a tailor store or a rouge and gouache store, she just takes a few glances at the door.

Cheng Shijie thought that Zhu Weiti didn't bring any money, so he laughed and said, "Most of the things here are from his own business, it doesn't matter if you have money or not!"

Zhu Weiti looked surprised: "It's all our own business?"

"Yes!"

"Is that gold shop too?"

"It's not just a gold store, the one in front is Liaodong Bank, and it's also ours!"

At this moment, Cheng Shijie felt a little thirsty in a teahouse in front of him. Although he could brew tea directly in his carriage, the problem is that with the improvement of the living standards of the people in southern Liaoning, dozens of tables in the teahouse, Actually most of the seats were full of customers.

Cheng Shijie was about to get off the carriage when he suddenly noticed a commotion in the teahouse.

"Please get out, it's not your business here.!"

Cheng Shijie witnessed the discrimination in southern Liaoning with his own eyes, and it was blatant and unreasonable discrimination. The object of the discrimination was not the slaves or the Mongols, but two blond and blue-eyed missionaries.

At this time, Europa is still very conservative, and their biggest characteristic is that they don't take a bath.The reason for not taking a bath is actually very funny today.

With the advent of the Age of Discovery, exchanges around the world increased, Europeans occupied the Americas, and they searched around for "girls" among the local aboriginals for sexual pleasure. However, these women also spread the pathogen Treponema pallidum to the world. Colonists who killed Europeans and returned to Europe spread the pathogen to their home countries.

This sparked another wave of abstinence, scaring Europeans away from bathing again.Because at that time, bathing centers in various places in Europe also often operated some "special services".Therefore, the bath has become the source of a major infectious disease.

But people don't know it, and there are still horrible memories about the "Black Death", so many people think that taking a bath is a sinful thing, and even cheered up in their minds, "Don't ask for anything. ", and pray for God's forgiveness immediately afterwards.This also caused the bathing industry to decline in Europe in the [-]th century. Even in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, many aristocrats were still smelly and took baths three or four times in their lives.

Europeans have relatively well-developed sweat glands. When taking a bath normally, the smell will not be mentioned. Last year, the author took the subway on Line [-]. There were not many people at that time, but there were five Europeans in the car, because the weather was sweaty. , that taste, I would rather squeeze the bus.

This is also the case now. Although the clothes of the two missionaries are fairly clean, the smell on their bodies is simply a biochemical bomb.

The clerk in the teahouse pinched his nose and said, "We can't entertain the two of you, this will affect the appetite of our guest officers too much!"

One of the missionaries was so angry that his hands were shaking, his face was flushed and he couldn't speak.

Cheng Shijie felt a little interesting. When the conflict broke out between the two sides, he notified the guards to take the two missionaries away.

Zhu Weiti asked puzzledly: "Husband, did you kill these two aliens?"

"No, I let them go to school to be teachers!"

"be a teacher?"

Did Cheng Shijie know that missionaries these days are just like college students in the 80s, full of gold, they have dabbled in various fields such as mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and medical skills, and many of them are even masters in certain fields!
Matteo Ricci and Tang Ruowang are very famous masters, but also extremely incompetent missionaries. What they do most when they come to China is not to preach, but to spread astronomy, mathematics, geometry and other aspects from Europe. Knowledge, translation of European scientific and technological works!For example, Matteo Ricci is a typical representative. He cooperated with Xu Guangqi to translate "The Elements of Geometry". The translation of "Taixi Water Conservancy" that Matthew failed to finish was translated
These two probably haven’t bathed for several months. They shoulder the important task of saving the lost lambs and bringing them back to the arms of God. However, the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny. The faithful were divided up, and they were pushed to southern Liaoning, where the foundation was extremely weak. Not to mention preaching, they didn't even have food, and they probably starved to death on the streets...

"Two guys with red hair and blue eyes are so dirty!"

"You can take a bath when it's dirty! Give them a new set of clothes, give them two buckets of water and let them rub for half an hour, won't they be clean?"

"Are you not afraid that they will scare the children?"

"How could it be! Don't they just have a little red hair and a little blue eyes, and they're not monsters, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"Anyway, no matter what, I just don't like those two monsters!"

"It's just that I don't like bathing. I throw them into the river and soak them for three days and three nights, soak them clean, and let them shave their beards..."

Cheng Shijie's words are imperial edicts in southern Liaoning.

Soak for three days and three days, then there will be absolutely no moisture, just three days and three nights. Fortunately, the weather is still cold, so they are not thrown in the river, but put in wooden buckets. The water is cold. They were also very considerate to add hot water to them, and they were only allowed to come out when they were eating and it was convenient.

Bishop Robben should be considered the most unlucky bishop.

It's not that Cheng Shijie worships foreigners and must let them teach the children in southern Liaoning, mainly about waste utilization. These missionaries have real talents. If they don't, then I'm sorry, they don't even have the qualifications to teach.

The officers of the fifteen guards and eight thousand households were very disturbed.

However, these ordinary military households are very happy. They have heard a lot. If you want to say that the military households with the happiest eyes of Daming are the military households of Ning Haijun. If you want to farm, you can farm. The key is that Marshal Cheng only charges [-]% of the rent.

Thirty percent of the rent is actually very high, mainly because Cheng Shijie is responsible for the seeds, farm tools and fertilizers, and the investment is not small.If the military and martyrs of Ning Haijun, they enjoy the treatment of tax exemption for five years and tax for ten and a half years.Regardless of the grain collected, it belongs to the military households themselves.

As the saying goes, don’t worry about the few, but the unevenness. The military households of Ning Haijun are treated like this, which makes the military households in other guards very unhappy. All this makes them feel aggrieved: Everyone is a military household, why should we Life is bitter haha, you can’t get enough to eat bran and swallow vegetables, but you can eat rice and white noodles every day, why!
Well now, they can come to southern Liaoning, and they also hope to live a good life with enough food and warm clothes!As soon as all the news spread, many military households who had already fled ran back in a huff, and long queues formed in front of the hundreds and thousands of households.

Cheng Shijie saw a total of 42 people in 9000 guards and 16 households, of which 45% were over 60.00 years old and under 29 years old, about 13 people, including 240 males People, 16 and 56 women, more women than men. Over 45 years old, a total of more than [-] people, almost all of them are demographic dividends.

These 42 people have put a lot of pressure on the immigration management of Liaodong.

Cheng Shijie took the time to come up with a solution immediately.

Solution Cheng Shijie has a draft, the key question is to see if the commanders of the fifteen guards know what to do.

"Master Commanders, Cheng Shuai welcomes you!"

The commanding envoys, commanding acquaintances, and commanding staff also know that stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is still a knife. The place where they live is surrounded by the garrison troops of the Ning Navy. These soldiers line up neatly every morning. When they went out for training, they wore black armor that was polished but did not shine. The one-foot-long spears of the spears were so sharp that it made people frightened.There are also many soldiers with strong crossbows on their backs, a bag of arrows, and a scimitar nearly a foot and a half long pinned to their thighs.

These days, these Ning Navy soldiers have shocked them too much, and I heard that the Ning Navy soldiers around them are just the garrison of Ning Navy, not the real elite.

The garrison is so powerful, what should the elite soldiers look like?This has already made these commanders feel like a big head, and they dare not roll with Cheng Shijie.They don't even have the strength to negotiate conditions with Cheng Shijie.

"Meet Cheng Shuai!"

"What are you doing in a daze, sit down!"

"Cheng Shuai is face to face, there is no place for me to sit!"

"The commander-in-chief told you to sit, so you sit!"

After Cheng Shijie said that, the commanders sat down slowly.

Cheng Shijie didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "This commander, Cheng Shijie, is highly valued by His Majesty and guards Liaodong. From now on, we will all be colleagues. I hope you will take care of me."

When they saw Cheng Shijie's gentle face, the commanders were relieved, they felt that Cheng Shijie was quite easy to talk to.

"How dare you!"

"You... ouch!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the big bellies in front of him and said: "You are so fat, you can't go to the battlefield, and it will be difficult for you to let them fight against Jiannu. They are all generals, and they should look like generals. Tomorrow you will follow Ning Haijun Let's train together..."

Hearing these words, the faces of these commanders and fellow commanders turned bitter.

Ning Haijun's training, they have long seen in their eyes, this is simply torture, excruciating torture, not to mention that they are all very old, even young and strong soldiers may not be able to persevere.

"I wait……"

Cheng Shijie just wanted these commanders and fellow commanders to retreat in the face of difficulties.

Cheng Shijie said: "Come here, give them equipment!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Ning Navy placed the standard heavy armor of the Ning Navy in front of the generals. Although this set of armor looks the same as the standard armor of ordinary soldiers, it is two millimeters thicker. Don't underestimate these two millimeters, the weight increases Weighed more than ten catties.
