Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 132 Personnel Considerations
The main hall of the outer courtyard of the Naval Governor's Mansion is similar in layout to the Mingyuan Hall next door, with a long table, and at this time only Hua Gao and Zhu Yuan are sitting next to each other, reading the front-line battle report that Wen Zao just sent from the north.

Today is the twenty-second of July.

Lao Zhu arrived in Bianliang on July [-]th, Wen Zao went north together, and this was the first time he sent a letter back.

Compared with the two-day journey from Mingzhou to Jinling, the distance from here to Bianliang is more than two thousand miles, and the one-way transmission of letters has also increased to five days. This is not counting the cost of manpower and horsepower.

As for the "eight hundred li express" that is common in the history books, it is actually very difficult to achieve.It's not that the horsepower can't run, the main thing is that in most cases, the road conditions do not allow it.

Furthermore, the ancients' calculation of distance was very rough, and it may be more accurate for short distances. Once the distance is lengthened, it will be completely inaccurate.

Just like the most typical one, the shoal area off the coast of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River was previously called "Wanli Long Beach". After the actual measurement by the Yinghai Division according to the latitude and ranging method, it is actually less than a thousand miles.

In the lobby of the Navy Governor's Mansion.

Fighting opportunities are changing rapidly, and what needs to be said has already been said in advance. Zhu Yuan does not intend to give Lao Zhu any opinions rashly, but judging from the news from the front, Lao Zhu still accepts most of his previous suggestions.

For example, the two sketch portraits that Hua Gao is holding in his hand to admire.

Portrait of Zhizheng Emperor and his son.

Since Lao Zhu asked Wen Zao to bring back two portraits on purpose, it means that there must have been hundreds of them on the front line.

It is conceivable that in the future, there will be no shortage of leading generals at all levels on the front line, which will prevent Zhi Zhengdi and his son from escaping from the capital to the greatest extent possible.

Furthermore, before Wen Zao left, Lao Zhu had just issued an edict rewarding the entire army.The hundreds of thousands of soldiers who participated in the Northern Expedition were not only rewarded with money and cloth, but also celebrated for three days.

This is clearly intentional.

Those who are familiar with Lao Zhu understand that under normal circumstances, Lao Zhu is not a person who can play tricks like this.

Now that it is done, it is obviously for some people to see.

For whom?
Or the father and son of Zhizheng Emperor.

Lao Zhu should have hoped that Emperor Zhizheng and his son believed that the Ming army was very satisfied after taking Bianliang, and perhaps they would not be in a hurry to capture Dadu.

Zhu Yuan felt that as long as the Zhizheng Emperor and his son were not too stupid, or even if the father and son couldn't figure it out, there must be no shortage of smart people around the Zhizheng Emperor and his son, and there was no shortage of people who knew Lao Zhu to a certain extent.However, Zhu Yuan also believes that people are always easy to paralyze themselves.

Sometimes, even if you know it's fake, you still can't help but have the greatest degree of luck.

This is not Zhu Yuan talking nonsense.

In this land, there are dozens of thick history books, which record too many similar stories.

Just like the city of Bianliang where Lao Zhu is currently, during the Jingkang change, I began to feel that the Jin people would not call over, but when I called, I felt that they just asked for money and gave the money. It came again in a blink of an eye, and I comforted myself that this city could still be defended, but in the end...it didn't...

Hua Gao's military rank is high enough, and Zhu Yuan didn't hide many things from him. The two talked on paper for more than an hour, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

He was forced to eat here again.

Inside the dining room.

Seeing the three decent-looking women in their twenties serving the meal in person, Zhu Yuan felt very helpless.

After Zhu Yuan gave a suggestion a few days ago, Hua Gao pulled him to help him choose.After more than half a month, apart from the affairs of the Yinghai Division, the one thing that Zhu Yuan has been tossed about in private is the messy matter of the Navy Commander-in-Chief.

As a result, Zhu Yuan even completed a book called "Scientific Fertility Handbook".

Huagao is regarded as a treasure.

After the three women served the dishes, they were sent away by Huagao. Zhu Yuan looked at all kinds of fish and shellfish sitting on them, and shook his head helplessly: "My lord, it's too much, even if the seafood is very good, you can't eat it like this?"

Hua Gao has already swallowed a garlic oyster neatly, and he gestured to the table with his chopsticks: "Vegetables, there are green vegetables."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Hua Gao swallowed a mouthful of raw oysters, and said: "Hanlin, I really think that according to the recipe you gave, and the recipe that you have researched with Chongsheng, it is... different recently. I just want to discuss it with you?"

Zhu Yuan unceremoniously pulled a plate of green vegetables in front of him, took a bite and ate, wondering: "Huh?"

Hua Gao lowered his voice: "Three times this month, is it less? How about six times?"

Zhu Yuan shook his head: "You should persist for at least half a year. If it really doesn't work, it means my method doesn't work, so you can do whatever you want."

"It works, it works," Hua Gao nodded again and again: "I've said it all, I can feel the change."

"Then you should be more persistent." Zhu Yuan actually doesn't like to discuss similar issues with Huagao. He always feels awkward, but he can only say: "My lord, to be honest, you are not young anymore, so you should pay more attention to 'Quality', not 'quantity', otherwise, it will be counterproductive."

Hua Gao sighed: "I'm just in a hurry."

"There is no way to rush."

Hua Gao sighed again, then looked over, with a smile: "Hanlin, your yard...is there no movement?"

"I am still young."

"But hurry up, hurry up," Hua Gao persuaded again: "If you have it, you can have a man and a woman again. In the future, we will be like sons and daughters."

Zhu Yuan had a strange expression.

This seniority...is a bit chaotic.

After eating, Huagao brought the "Scientific Fertility Handbook" again.

Comments.

About some of the illustrations.

The captain of the navy is very serious and serious: "Hanlin, I've been thinking about it recently. It's just a pillow, isn't it a bit worse, or is it upside down, what do you think of this posture?"

He made gestures while talking.

Zhu Yuan: "..."

I'm just a kid, why should I be burdened with such weird things?For the sake of a few broken pictures, I have already been considered indecent by the girls around me. Is it easy for me to paint erotic palaces at a young age?

Just walk away.

The next day was the twenty-third of July.

Entering the dog days, Zhu Yuan's spirits are not very good. If Fu Shou hadn't sent a batch of ice cubes and piled them in the house every day to physically cool down, he might not even be able to sleep well.

And also tend to sleep alone again.

There are people around, no matter how beautiful they are, they are also hot.

Things still need to be done.

Lao Zhu personally took charge of the Battle of Dadu. If August ended smoothly and he returned in September, it would be difficult for Zhu Yuan to stay in Mingzhou again.

So make a layout for yourself when you leave.

Wu Liang and Hu Weiyong had already rushed to Guangzhou and Quanzhou to take up their posts respectively. When they left, they each brought 10 taels of silver and a group of officials selected by Zhu Yuan himself.

It's not a clean job, but there are many things for the two of them.

Taking over the sea trade is one aspect, mainly sea fishing.

Simple two words, but behind it involves organizing fishermen, building ships, repairing ports, surveying fish conditions, drawing maps and other aspects.

This is just the primary task for the two of them.

Zhu Yuan's expectations are actually more. For example, the two big islands corresponding to Guangzhou and Quanzhou must focus on their operations.

After all, the south is not as good as Mingzhou.

The Changguo Islands stretch out for more than two hundred miles. For this era, it is equivalent to providing many natural ports to ensure the safety of fishermen to the greatest extent.Moreover, the Zhoushan Fishing Ground itself is the largest fishing ground along the coast of China, coupled with Zhu Yuan's personal management, it can be said that the right time, place and people are all in harmony.

Zhu Yuan is not very familiar with Fujian and Guangdong, but relatively speaking, if you want to carry out large-scale sea fishing, you can only develop distant sea fishing if you want to carry out large-scale sea fishing.

This is not the distant sea fishing hundreds of years later.

At present, two or three hundred miles away from the coast is already considered a distant sea.

Coincidentally, those two big islands happened to be in the corresponding positions. With the level of productivity in this era, as long as the two big islands were operated and only developed sea fishing along the periphery of the islands, it would be enough to have considerable gains.

State again.

Zhu Yuan has three successors, Liu Lian, Yao Feng and Fang Li.

Because of the success of sea transportation and sea capture, Zhu Yuan had asked Lao Zhu for their credit at the beginning of the month, and applied for the re-establishment of the official position of the Ying Hai Division.

All three advanced two levels.

Each of them was promoted from the former fifth-rank Ying Haisi doctor to the newly established fourth-rank Ying Haisi Qianshi. The grade was comparable to that of the magistrate, only one level behind Wu Liang and Hu Weiyong.

Next, it is the question of who will be in charge after Zhu Yuan leaves.

The result of Zhu Yuan's private deliberation was Yao Feng.

The reason is very simple, just like He Huai, who is also the deputy envoy in charge of the sea in Shandong, is a 'technocrat'.

In this regard, Liu Lian, who is diligent, studious and willing to accept all kinds of new knowledge, is actually not bad, and he is willing to integrate knowledge and action. However, Liu Lian is too upright and straightforward, without his suppression, it is easy to go too far, hindering others from concrete work.

Zhu Yuan even considered whether to bring this person back to Jinling when he left, so as not to restrict everyone here.

Not yet decided.

Then there is Fang Li.

Back then, when Old Zhu sent Fang Li over, it was mainly for the purpose of coordinating and summoning the fleeing Fang family members.

Fang Li completed the task very well.

Not only that, in the past few months, Fang Li has also been conscientious in other tasks assigned by Zhu Yuan. Just like the previous Xia Xun sea fishing, from the beginning of May to the middle of June, Fang Li was more than one person when he drifted on the sea. month, there is no shortage of credit and hard work.

What's more, there is also the Fang family's private support for Zhu Yuan.

If it wasn't for Lao Zhu's interruption, Zhu Yuan even hoped to send Fang Li to Fujian or Guangdong to run a province alone.Compared with Wu Liang and Hu Weiyong who just got started, although Fang Li's talent is not as good as Liu Lian and Yao Feng, but after all, he is familiar with the various operating procedures of the Ying Hai Division. better.

Now that both pits have been occupied, what to do with Fang Li is a question.

Among the three previous Ying Hai Si Langs, if the current Ying Hai Si Qian is tied under Zhu Yuan, it’s fine. However, when their respective contributions are not bad, Zhu Yuan let Yao Feng replace him, even if the reason is very Righteously, it is inevitable that the other two will have ideas.

If it didn't work, Zhu Yuan planned to bring Fang Li back to Jinling.

There are still many things to do in the future, and there will be no shortage of places to arrange Fang Li.

Anyway, this thing is important.

The experience of being a human being in two lifetimes made Zhu Yuan firm in one thing. In this world, everything from a country to a family is always made up of people.

Personnel is really important.

In addition to the three backbones, there are also various departments and companies that Zhu Yuan has set up in recent months. The management structure also needs to be improved as soon as possible to ensure that he can operate freely after returning to Jinling.

These are still all kinds of cumbersome things that can't be more cumbersome.

He started working at nine o'clock in the morning, and until the sun went down that day, Zhu Yuan returned to Ying Haishi's mansion and continued to look through a statistical document he had just made.

From June [-]th to July [-]th, the sea fishing team under Mingzhou Ocean Development Group harvested fish in this relatively off-season.

Zhu Yuan's previous goal was to catch 10 tons of fish per month even in the off-season.

At that time, I felt that this goal was not low. If 10 tans of fish were used as rations, it would be enough to feed more than [-] people.

In fact, in the past month, the total harvest of all kinds of fish by the sea fishing team reached 13 tons.

Complete the task by 30% over quota.

While Zhu Yuan was happy, he had to be cautious. He looked through the harvest of various fishes in detail, and invited some officials and fishermen to inquire in detail, and found some problems.

For example, there are a full 1.7 tons of mud snails found on many islands in Changguo.

This is more than 170 million catties.

Zhu Yuan had tasted this kind of mud snails before, and they were not big. The mud snails in April and May were the fattest and tasted good.

The problem is that in just one month, more than 170 million catties were seized, which is a bit too much.

Now that the problem was discovered, Zhu Yuan summoned a group of people in charge on the spot, explained in detail the concepts of "fishing without exhaustion" and "sustainable development", and asked the sea fishing team to stop the fishing of mud snails immediately.

At the same time, Liu Lian and others were asked to go to sea to explore in person to determine the fishing standards for various fish, shrimp, shellfish, sea vegetables and other products.

Probably, it should not be too much, too small fish should not be caught, and, if it is the breeding season, it should be restrained.

In fact, in all kinds of fishing seasons off the coast of Mingzhou, the goal of fish gathering is to reproduce, but at present, for large and small yellow croakers, and the hairtail that will be fished this winter, because the body is large enough, there is no need to restrain it for the time being.

However, other marine organisms need to maintain moderation now.

It is also said that the mud snails on the tidal flats of the islands are really convenient to collect. If you don't know how to restrain yourself and blindly pursue production, maybe after three to five years, there will be no more production.

At the same time, Zhu Yuan also thought about the problem of artificial breeding.

It is not easy for sea fish yet, but this kind of shellfish that lives on the tidal flats may be able to draw a special boundary and try special breeding, at least, through artificial intervention, to increase the production.

It took more than half an hour to deal with the problem discovered temporarily.

When Zhu Yuan returned to the inner house, he still followed his personal timing standard, and the time was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

It was hot and I had no appetite, so I went to take a shower first, and went back to the cool main room with ice cubes to relax, and then I ate something under the urging of the woman beside me, and then went directly to the bedroom to rest.

A thought came up before bed.

Let it rain.

Hastily cancelled.

don't get off.

Mingzhou is fine. The northern part, opposite to Hangzhou Bay, Susong and other prefectures have been flooded by rain these days. Further north, there is only a big river across. A large area of ​​drought.

Coupled with the ongoing large and small wars in various places...

What a terrible year!
