Chapter 1160: Flickering...
In the evening,
Yuan De ordered several hundred households to be summoned. The few of them were surprised to see Jiang Hao, a stranger, sitting side by side with Yuan De. Yuan De said in a deep voice: "Tian Qianhu unfortunately suffered a stroke, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and he couldn't even speak. Now he can no longer handle official duties."
When Tian Qianhu heard that he had a stroke, none of the hundreds of households showed sad or caring expressions on their faces. They were all expressionless and had no charm at all. It seemed that that guy was usually very unpopular.
"I'll introduce you to this person who is the new Jiang Shoujie and the deputy Qianhu. From today on, Tian Qianhu's condition will improve. Jiang Shoujie has the final say in all matters of Qianhu's office. It is also the commander of you. You must not neglect it."
"yes!"
Several hundred households bowed together and came to greet Jiang Hao and reported their names. Jiang Hao never forgot them and remembered their names, Chen Yi, Yan Hui, Ye Dachuan, Su Maonian, Ma Feng, and Xu Quan.
Everyone sat down, Jiang Hao asked, "Shouldn't our garrison have ten hundred households? Why are there only six people? What is the situation of the garrison now? How many soldiers, ships, and supplies are there?"
It is said that the ward is poor and corruption, and I don’t know what the real situation is. Jiang Hao is going to take a look at the family’s financial situation.
Yuan De immediately replied respectfully: "According to the organization, there should be ten hundred households and one thousand one hundred soldiers. However, the Japanese pirates in Zhoushan were very powerful and fought two battles. The hundreds of households were killed in battle and lost hundreds of soldiers. The court is now in a difficult situation, and the hundred households have not been replenished. Now there are 563 soldiers, craftsmen, assistants, and 417 servants, and about 3,500 families in the military farming family."
Seeing Yuan De so respectful, several hundred households were surprised. You know, the eunuchs in the military camp were used to being arrogant and blessings. Even Tian Qianhu was restrained and spoke well in normal times. However, Yuan De felt a little servile to Jiang Hao.
Could it be that this person is of great origin?
Yuan De continued: "We guard all two five-mass warships with five hundred materials and five spacecrafts with one hundred materials, which can still be used. They are maintained by sailors on weekdays, and the ship is equipped with Frankie artillery."
Jiang Hao knew the ancient sea ship algorithm, one material is equal to ten cubic feet, here is a bright ruler, one material is equal to one stone, which is almost 92.5 kilograms, and 500 material is 46,250 kilograms, and the displacement is 46.25 tons.
"We all have their own gunpowder workshops, which can make gunpowder. There are iron forging workshops. They can repair weapons and armor and cast projectiles. As for supplies?" Yuan De hesitated for a moment.
"Just tell the truth." Jiang Hao said in a deep voice.
Yuan De dared not hide it and said, "On weekdays, weapons and armor maintenance, warship repair, etc., the imperial government is not enough to allocate funds. Many people use weapons that are used are used by waste. We are islands, and we produce very little grain on weekdays. It is difficult to eat brown rice. Many people can only make a living by fish, shrimps and crabs."
"According to the court's rules, the soldiers of the garrison replace clothes every year, but we haven't sent it here for five years, even these hundred households are."
Jiang Hao looked at the hundreds of households. Although they were all dressed neatly, their clothes were obviously old and they were washed off.
"Then what are we missing now?" Jiang Hao asked.
Yuan De lamented, "There are so many things that are lacking, including food, cloth, iron, wood, weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows, and materials for making gunpowder."
"What is the one you lack the most?" Jiang Hao looked at Yuan De.
"Oh, the most lack of money."
This answer is really fucking. Who dares to say that you are not short of money?
Jiang Hao smiled in his heart. It’s good to be short of money. Others may worry about how to clean up such a big mess, but what Jiang Hao saw was a group of hungry people.
Looking at the other hundreds of households, Jiang Hao asked, "Are you short of money? Are the soldiers below lacking money?"
Several hundred households were silent. After a while, one hundred households named Xu Quan gritted their teeth and said in a deep voice: "The garrison has only paid 30% of the salary in recent years, and it has been owed from time to time. We can't even support the old and young people in our family, let alone the brothers below."
Jiang Hao suddenly understood why no one cared about or felt sad when these guys learned that Tian Qianhu had a stroke. I guess he would die early.
Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, "It's time for dinner, let's have a chat."
The others immediately stood up as soon as they heard this, "We asked people to prepare, arrange banquets, and welcome the adults."
Jiang Hao also stood up and said, "I see, this table of wine should be placed on the warship."
The others were shocked and thought that this person would not be a messy person, so the people below would be in trouble.
The group came to the beach and boarded the warship. Jiang Hao patted the thick and strong side of the ship, and looked at the Frankie cannons again. He thought to himself, if the Ming Dynasty had made up its mind to gather the navy to attack the pirates, he would have never let a group of bandits driven out of the country of Ming Dynasty millions of miles, and a group of great civil servants who could only fight for the war, abandoned their martial arts and strangled themselves to death.
"Sir, I'm asking someone to prepare wine and food," said Shen Yi, a hundred households.
"Is there seafood here?" Jiang Hao asked.
Shen Yi was slightly stunned, "Sir, we are just on the sea, how could we lose seafood? But why do you taste good about those things? You always have to prepare chicken, duck, fish and meat for adults."
In ancient times, seafood was really not a high-end thing. Only the poor people on the beach could eat it. There is also a joke in the ward that only pirates eat sea fish all year round. It can be seen that their status can be used to entertain guests, especially those who are distinguished guests.
"No, just vegetables and seafood." Jiang Hao said.
"What seafood do adults want to eat?"
"You can go to whatever you have, preferably fresh."
When Shen Yi heard this, he immediately said, "It's easy to deal with. I'll ask people to go to the sea to catch a net, but eating these will make it too negligent to guard the guarantor."
"Don't neglect, you go and prepare."
The breeze and bright moon on the sea, lanterns rise around, and warships shake slightly. It feels good to drink in this environment.
A group of people sat down, and there were shrimps with pepper and vinegar, shrimp crabs with white scallion, steamed sea bass, stewed grouper... There was a large table of seafood, and only a few plates of vegetables were placed around.
Several people were a little nervous because in their opinion, it was really too shabby to use these things to serve as a welcoming banquet for the new garrison adults.
Jiang Hao picked up a big prawn, which was bigger than a banana. This was a real wild oriental shrimp, also known as a prawn. Jiang Hao smiled and said, "How many meters can this plate of shrimp be exchanged for?"
"This is worthless."
"If I say that this plate of shrimp can be exchanged for a stone of rice, do you believe it?" Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Jiang Hao like a fool. Someone said unbelievable, "How is it possible to change a stone of rice? Even if you change a liter of rice, someone will rush to change it."
In ancient times, 1 stone = 10 buckets, 1 bucket = 10 liters, 1 liter = 10 rounds, 1 spoon = 10 pounds, 1 spoon = 10 pinch, 120 pounds of a stone rice, 12 pounds of a bucket, and 1.2 pounds of a liter, and the plate of shrimp in front of me is more than 1.2 pounds.
There is not a few hundred times that can’t be pulled out in modern times. Jiang Hao has less to say about a single stone of rice. A modern time plate of shrimp is more than just a single stone of rice. Sometimes a shrimp can be replaced by a single shrimp.
Everyone started eating and drinking, Jiang Hao ate seafood, while others rarely touched these things. Why, after eating enough, they took the chopsticks according to the plates of vegetables, but they didn't dare to eat too much, and they seemed a little restrained. Jiang Hao smiled, picked up the wine bowl and clinked glasses with everyone, and drank them in big mouthfuls.
After a few bowls of wine, people's emotions eased a lot. Jiang Hao glanced around and said, "I ask you, have you ever thought about changing your current life."
Everyone was stunned and looked at Jiang Hao, "How to change?" asked a hundred household named Ye Dachuan.
"I have enough money and new clothes on my body. The rice jar at home is filled with white rice. Family and relatives don't have to go hungry. I have some extra money in my hands, okay?" Jiang Hao said.
"Of course I think, but how is that possible?" Su Maonian said in a muffled voice.
"Possible." Jiang Hao cut off the railway.
I stood up and walked to the side of the boat, looked at the sea in the distance, and turned to look at the guys, "As long as you dare to follow me, all this is possible, and it is better than you think. Not only you, but the entire ward can live that kind of life."
Everyone didn't believe it, but Jiang Hao was Shangguan, and they didn't dare to refute anything. Yuan De blinked and asked in a low voice: "Prince Jiang, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Hao pointed to the sea, "There are countless opportunities there."
......
Rome was not built in one day, and it also requires a certain foundation to fool people. Brainwashing requires several lessons.
When they returned to the camp, the women had already packed up their rooms, Jiang Hao took a shower, and happily hugged Xiaoxiao and Ping'er to sleep.
In the room next to him, Lan Fenghuang was unable to sleep, wondering whether to let the poisonous snake in and bite Jiang Hao and remind him that he had his own number.
