Chapter 575
How many bannermen are earning two million a year? How many bannermen are planned to raise in the military workshop? 100,000? Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a little stunned. How big is this? But his mind immediately turned to making money. The so-called mid-range in Lao Si should refer to ordinary gentry. Could it be that he would lower the price of clocks and glassware? Can he make two million a year?
Yinzhen couldn't help but glance at Zhenwu suspiciously, thinking that Lao Shisi was not a person who spoke nonsense, let alone the emperor's honor now, how could he slander him? Since he said that, more than one million is indispensable, but with the nature of the bannerman, good scriptures will be chanted wrongly. What good things can be produced?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate: "Fourth brother, the bannermen have been spoiled over the years and have entered the workshop in large quantities. One is difficult to manage, and the other is, their abilities are really worrying."
Zhenwu poured a glass of wine himself and smiled and said, "The bannermen are not stupid, so don't worry about their abilities. Management does take a lot of effort. It will be easier to manage if they destroy their superiority. However, this matter cannot be urgent. We have to take it step by step. The bannermen who entered the military workshop will temporarily implement quasi-military closed management."
Paramilitary closed management? Yinzhen listened to the new, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Is it the same as the military camp?"
"Yes." Zhenwu drank a small cup and said, "The flag-men are the unity of military and civilians. There is nothing wrong with it. Militarized management can strengthen their discipline and obedience, which is not only conducive to management, but also to improve their productivity. All craftsmen in the military workshop will gradually implement this management model in the future."
Taking the workshop as an army? Yinzhen felt refreshed. This method was absolutely feasible, especially for the bannermen. Although the bannermen are negligent in riding and shooting training, they have been trained since childhood, and are not unfamiliar with the situation in the military camp and are easy to accept. I really don’t know how Lao Sisi came up with such a way and was about to flatter him.
Zhenwu spoke again and continued: "For the bannermen, the court cannot always implement a policy of grace. This harms both the bannermen and the court. Now there are only millions of bannermen. The court can still raise them, but for decades of peace, more than a hundred years later, the bannermen have exceeded tens of millions. How can the court raise them? When they can't afford to raise them, they will push them out. That will cause big problems. Therefore, we must now prepare for the future and gradually relax restrictions on the bannermen, so that they can learn to support themselves."
After hearing this, Yinzhen was shocked and hesitated: "If all the bannermen have relaxed restrictions, where will this soldier come from in the future?"
Zhenwu's original intention was to face the conscription of the whole nation, but this was impeachment and could easily shake people's hearts. He pondered slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Aren't the bannermen entering the military workshop all quasi-military management? Let's take them from them." After saying that, he was unwilling to continue talking along this topic, so he changed the topic and said, "Brother Jiu, Zizhu Forest is a military workshop, and there must be a guard team. You should form it first. The number of soldiers is tentatively set to one thousand, and the bannermen and people each account for half. Please train the navy and strictly require the navy's standards.
The management of bannermen must be hard. They cannot be lenient. If the bannermen cannot survive in the military workshop, the Qing Dynasty will have a hundred years of luck, which is of great importance. Brother Jiu must use thunderbolt means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva."
Seeing that Zhenwu said so seriously, Yinzhen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, 14th brother. I used to be lenient with the bannermen before, because they were just a little strict, and they were afraid that they would become distracted. They would create a bad impression among the bannermen in the capital, which was not conducive to the training of the new guard army. It is related to the national destiny, Yinzhen must do his best to vigorously rectify the discipline of the bannermen."
Zhenwu nodded slightly and said, "The brothers each have their own strengths. Brother Jiu is good at managing the military industry and civilian workshops. However, business and management complement each other. If the management is not good, there is no way to talk about business. Brother Jiu has to put in more effort in the management path."
"I will definitely keep the instructions in mind by the emperor." Yinzhen hurriedly bowed.
Seeing that he had entered the right story again without realizing it, Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "I won't talk about government affairs anymore, the meeting will start."
After hearing this order, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel relieved, and hurriedly waved to the outside world, then stood up and poured a glass of wine for Zhenwu, and smiled and said, "This is Jiangnan Pei wine, I will try it with the 14th brother."
"I just drank a glass, it was clear but not thin, thick but not turbid, sweet and refreshing in my mouth, it was really good wine, Brother Jiu..." Zhenwu was just saying, but was attracted by the four women who walked in. The four women were skinny and well-proportioned, all with bright faces, especially the third woman, with peanut face, water-cut eyes, natural style, a wine vortex on her left cheek, and she smiled so brightly that she was full of laughter.
After looking up and down a few times, Zhenwu took back his eyes and smiled and said, "Brother Jiu has good eyesight."
Seeing Zhenwu chasing the third woman with his eyes, Yinzhen smiled slightly and said, "The first recommendation of Datong's wife in "The Rhyme of the Brocade" is the thin horse in Yangzhou. It is not for no reason. Datong's fruit is a beautiful woman. All four women are perfect bodies. Since the fourteenth brother is willing, I will condemn others to send them to the palace at night."
Zhenwu couldn't help but suffocate slightly, but he liked it, but he couldn't be so anxious. After pondering, he said, "Since it's the kindness of Brother Jiu, I'll accept it with a smile. There is no need for four people, one person is enough. There is no need to send it to the palace tonight. Find a bannerman in Manzhou Banner to replenish his identities, learn etiquette first, and enter the palace when he is drafting a girl."
When he heard Zhenwu's arrangements were so thoughtful, Yinzhen couldn't help but think that this woman named Xuanxuan was in great luck now, and hurriedly bowed and said, "It's Yinzhen Menglang, I don't worry, and I'll make it right." As he said, he smiled again, "This woman's name is Xuanxuan, and she is both singing and dancing... As he was speaking, the sound of the piano suddenly started. The four women moved their lotus steps lightly, relaxed their sleeves, and started singing and dancing, but listened to Xuanxuan singing, "I was idle in spring and day noon, dreaming of entering Huaxu, meeting Feiqiong's lover, with a delicate and green frown and sorrowless, and the colorful paper left me with novel sentences. I still haven't told me a few hearts, and I knocked on the window, and I was shocked and dispersed. The melancholy Chu Yun could not stay, and I stared at the road of Gaotang."
Zhenwu couldn't help but listened to it, and he really had a good voice, just like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, every word was made of gold and jade. When he received it in the palace, he must teach her a few pop songs, and he was happy.
If you are not in the capital, you naturally don’t need to go to the morning court. It was already Si (9 o’clock) when Zhenwu woke up. He listened to the songs and dances last night and watched the beauty under the lamp. Before he knew it, he drank a few more drinks and came back a little late. Fortunately, he was in Tianjin, so it was fine.
During the meal, Bao Fuquan reported in a low voice: "The emperor, the supervisor of Tianjin Customs, Hai Shan, the governor of Zhili Shi Shilun, the governor of Zhili Zhao Hongxie, the general of Tianjin Du Chengsi, and the fourth rank and above officials in Tianjin were all waiting to see each other, and there were six other candidates including Bai Ziyun."
Zhenwu pondered for a moment and said, "Summon Shilun, Bai Ziyun and others to meet, and the others asked them to go back to the yamen to do the job, and told Haishan that I would go to Tianjin Customs for inspection."
"Zhe." Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed and said, "I'll go and pronounce the edict now."
After breakfast, Zhenwu washed up for a while and first checked the express and memorials from the capital. Seeing that nothing was serious, he began to quickly review the memorials. After a while, Bao Fuquan bowed in and reported the report: "The emperor, Shi Shilun, Bai Ziyun and others are waiting outside."
"Call Shi Lun in." Zhenwu ordered without raising his head.
After Shi Shilun came in to see the ceremony, Zhenwu raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Give him a seat and enjoy tea."
After he thanked him for his gratitude, Zhenwu asked: "What is the most urgent problem in Tianjin at present?"
Shi Shilun was prepared for this and hurriedly bowed, "When you go back to the emperor, there are many rivers in Tianjin and the water nets are dense. I personally think it should be a flood prevention disaster, and Haihe is the best. I beg the emperor to allocate huge funds to build the Haihe River embankment once and for all."
"Building a river embankment cannot be done once and for all." Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "The water volume of Haihe River is huge, and it will cause disasters after breaking the embankment. The real reason is that the river channel is bent and bends. Once it is watered, it will not be able to discharge floods in time, resulting in repeated breaking the embankment and causing disasters after breaking the embankment." As he said, he took a picture scroll and slowly spread it out: "This is the plan diagram of the Haihe River, come and take a look." Then he pointed to the picture scroll and said, "From the three forks, if there is a straight line that leads to the Bohai Sea, as long as the river channel is wide enough, there is no possibility of flooding again."
"The Emperor wants to cut the bend and straighten it?" Shi Shilun couldn't help but be stunned. What a big project, in an instant, he realized that the court had money, and it was necessary to spend a lot of effort to completely cure the Haihe River. Even if there were many refugees this year, he would not have to worry about no place to settle it. He hurriedly stood up, knelt down and knocked three times, saying: "The emperor's heavenly posture is wise and profound, and he is like the kindness of heaven. It is actually a blessing for the people of the Qing Dynasty. I am a blessing for the thousands of people in the Haihe River Basin to thank the saints for the kindness of heaven."
"Get up and sit back and reply." Zhenwu said with a slight hint: "After deciding to develop Tianjin, I was determined to completely cure the Haihe River. The Haihe River channel was bent and the silt was severe, which was not conducive to navigation. Now that sea transportation is becoming more and more developed, ships are becoming larger and larger, and the canal transportation is also preparing to change to the sea route. The seaways are busier. Moreover, the annual dredging is not a decimal cost. Instead of doing this, it is better to completely cure it and make it work once and for all.
This project is huge, not only flood control, but also shipping. This project of straightening and straightening is just a preliminary draft and needs to be widely solicited. People have been able to solicit opinions since ancient times. You can solicit opinions on the list of people in Tianjin to see the reactions of all parties, and to provide specific exploration, surveying and mapping. I ask Western missionaries to be responsible."
Seeing Zhenwu considering it carefully, Shi Shilun hurriedly bowed and said, "I respect the order." After getting up, he said, "Tianjin is the only place for the coastal vassal states of the Qing Dynasty to go to Beijing to pay tribute. The Zhili Governor's Office is located in Tianjin. The Wei ministers do not know whether the 2,000 soldiers of the commander shall follow the Green Camp soldiers or imitate the navy soldiers, so he begs the emperor to inform him."
Seeing that he opened his mouth, he first marked the governor to two thousand men. Zhenwu couldn't help but frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Governor of Zhili is the head of the governor of the world, and every move is eye-catching. The Navy is a national economic and technological army. How can the governors of various places imitate it? Your model will be formed according to the new army of the Imperial Guards."
