After Wen Rensheng finished recommending them, Governor Wang called these people together.
"You are all recommended by my nephew. I believe in your abilities. As long as you do well, I will recommend you to be a ninth-grade Zuo Zaguan based on your merits..."
Hearing this, the cashiers who were kneeling on the ground burst into tears of gratitude.
If you really become an official, you will reach the sky in one step.
How difficult it is to go from civilian to official.
The route that ordinary people can know is to take the imperial examination.
Everyone knows how difficult the imperial examination is.
Many great talents who are knowledgeable about the past and present may not be able to win the imperial examination in their lifetime, or even be selected as a scholar.
But it is possible for them to become officials, no, even becoming officials is good.
Wen Rensheng looked at these people and shook his head in his heart.
The governor Wang's words made him angry as soon as he heard them.
How can it be possible to recommend everyone with so many people?
And they don't know how difficult it is to do it well.
But it's life-threatening.
Land, this thing, is enough to make people take risks.
If they don't dare to attack the governor, why don't they dare to attack specific clerks?
These people are honest by nature and will definitely not think of this level and will definitely check and clean it up carefully.
It's too easy to offend people.
Originally, their character is to offend people easily, otherwise, they would not be in trouble.
Anyway, the current Ming Dynasty is already very corrupt.
However, for Wen Rensheng, there are still 5% outstanding people in this rotten Ming Dynasty.
It's just that no one organized these people together.
If these 5% of people can be organized together, they will definitely become very powerful.
The population of Ming Dynasty is between 100 million and 200 million.
If it's 5%, it's 5 million to 10 million.
The rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty only relied on 60,000 soldiers and 200,000 soldiers.
In the meantime, they continued to capture the savage Jurchens to replenish the losses. At least tens of thousands of people were lost before and after.
If these 5 million people gathered together, Wen Rensheng believed that they would be invincible.
Just relying on the most traditional and backward ideas of loyalty and filial piety is enough to crush everything.
The question is how to bring these people together?
Then we need to develop ancient logistics.
But transportation in ancient times was very poor. The only good transportation was water network transportation.
For example, why did it cost so much to open the canal?
The cost of land transportation is more than 20 times that of water transportation.
To transport grain, a large cart requires two mules and a driver, and can only pull 700 to 1,000 kilograms, and no more than 2,000 kilograms at most.
The vehicle also needs to be repaired from time to time. If it can't run 100 miles, the wheels and other parts must be repaired.
A driver with two mules can travel up to 60 miles a day. It takes more than half a month to travel hundreds of miles, and requires a lot of food.
An ordinary small boat can also carry 2,000 to 7,000 kilograms of things. It only requires two people, or even one person can punt it if the current is smooth.
Not to mention that you can sail on the sea by wind, which does not require manpower and is more economical.
People definitely eat less than mules, and the maintenance period of boats is much shorter than that of cars.
After all, one has to constantly rub, collide, and roll on rough roads; the other is traveling on a gentle waterway, so as long as it doesn't hit rocks, it won't be a big deal.
Therefore, those who march must go by water if there is water. Unless necessary, such as a sneak attack, few generals insist on going by land.
So Wen Rensheng thought of a way.
Establish maritime logistics along the coast.
Establish river transport logistics along the river.
Don't touch it by land.
There are too many forces involved in the land route.
In comparison, river transportation and sea transportation are relatively rare.
After all, you need a boat to set up a jam on the water, and it needs to be a good boat, as ordinary squires can't do this.
Just like no one in future generations can set up cards in the sky to collect taxes...
After the logistics is established, it is possible for Wenrensheng to gather 200,000 of these 5 million people.
After all, there are still many densely populated cities along the rivers and coasts.
It can be said that these people have more public motives than selfishness, are willing to serve until death, and are willing to save the Ming Dynasty.
Even if Ming Dynasty sucks, they are still willing.
In the final analysis, it is the years of loyalty and filial piety that have penetrated into their hearts.
There are still many people loyal to the Ming Dynasty, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and some generations of generals. What about the You family, the Ma family...
He family.
Cao family.
Although those generals drank the blood of their soldiers, they were still willing to risk their lives to save the Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that they couldn't concentrate, so they could only be implicated by those trash, holding them back on the battlefield, and leading to collapse.
As a result, the overall situation seems to be a lot, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is necessary to attack more with less.
After settling this matter, Wen Rensheng left the governor's mansion.
He went to look for shops to seek refuge with himself.
What kind of store are you going to open?
One is the blacksmith's shop, the second is the carpenter's shop, and the third is the cloth shop.
These are all related to shipbuilding.
Of course, he is still in the northwest now, and sooner or later he will move to the southeast.
Southeast Water Network is the best place for the development of the logistics industry.
Because he cannot use leapfrog advanced technologies, he can only integrate them.
Integration is the use of existing technologies to combine them together.
He ordered Xie Changgeng to find him.
Soon we found seven or eight people who were willing to join us.
In fact, many businesses have nowhere to turn to.
How can they get close to the governor?
Even officials such as county magistrates and chief registrars are unreliable.
They just struggle to survive, coping with the oppression of government officials and various gangsters, and they don't know what day they will be slaughtered as fat sheep.
Those businesses that make a lot of money are all opened by officials, nobles, eunuchs, and princes with backgrounds.
Such as salt, silk, tea, raw silk, money chests, etc...
There is no need to find another supporter from the beginning.
Wen Rensheng asked these people to seek refuge in his name and gave them posts.
If something happens, just take the post and go to the concierge.
Now he is a scholar and a famous person in Futai.
He didn't touch the cakes of those big merchants.
They are just looking for some little shrimps to be their backers.
Generally, bureaucrats will still give this little face.
At worst, you'll have to eat someone else's food.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anyway, businesses are like weeds, they are cut this year and will grow again next year.
Of course they don't care, what a terrible thing will grow out in the end.
We have affiliated with 13 large and small shops. The highest cost is Xie Changgeng's 20,000 taels, and the lowest is only 200 taels.
A total of 50,000 taels of business capital.
He is a staff member with a Futai background, but he can still cover him up.
As for why other staff don't do this, it's because they take too much trouble.
They don't want to support others every day, they want easy money.
For example, if you eat dry stocks, you don’t have to worry about anything.
However, they have forgotten that in this case they will lose the manpower and the hearts of the people.
When Wen Rensheng was enriching stores and integrating store talents, Governor Wang also began to take action.
Clear acres of land.
In just half a month, they cleared 20,000 acres of land from the royal eunuchs.
It also exceeded Governor Wang’s expectations.
These are all official lands occupied.
That is to say, it was originally the land of the government. The properties of the land in the Ming Dynasty were very complicated. There were civilian fields, official fields, imperial villas, military fields, owned by the vassal kings, and occupied by eunuchs.
There is a lot of fertile land.
If the town has an additional 20,000 acres of government land, it will be able to produce an additional 80,000 kilo of fine grain per year.
The reason is simple. Those lands are along rivers, with canals and even waterwheels.
Only good land is worthy of the efforts of the eunuchs of the royal palace.
Guaranteed harvests despite droughts and floods are not empty words.
Even if you put in more effort and do more refined management, you don't need any advanced technology. As long as you use the things mentioned in the agricultural books of this era, you can produce one more stone per acre, which is an increase of 20,000 stone.
In fact, agricultural technology spreads very slowly.
Even though there were agricultural books, most of the people were illiterate, and the scholars did not bother to learn miscellaneous subjects, so they devoted their energy to the eight-legged classics in the imperial examination.
This results in the hard-earned technology being unable to spread and failing to promote social progress.
There is no greater harm to the Confucian family than this.
Although a few Confucian scholars also realize the importance of miscellaneous studies, it is difficult to change the mentality of everyone.
After clearing out 20,000 acres, Governor Wang announced that he had stopped.
This also brought the undercurrent that was about to move to an abrupt end.
Anyway, after killing two eunuchs who had enriched their own pockets, the feudal king did not have an advantage against the governor.
What's more, the governor increased the expenses of the imperial court.
After the emperor sees it, he will only be happy.
As for the saying of "kissing", in the face of 80,000 shi of grain, which is equivalent to about 40,000 taels of silver, even if you give half of it to the tenant farmers, you still have 20,000 taels. What do two eunuchs mean?
It is impossible for the emperor to remove a governor for this matter, he will only praise the other governor for doing things well.
Unless the other party provokes a larger force and causes trouble to the emperor, the governor will be unlucky.
For example, Xue Guoguan in the late Chongzhen period was very brave and proposed that "we will be responsible for the borrowings of the officials outside the country; the borrowings of the emperor's relatives and relatives inside must be made by the emperor."
It was obviously for the sake of spending money for the court, but in the end, he was counterattacked by the nobles who used the prince's illness to spread rumors. Chongzhen himself did not take responsibility and was afraid to retreat. Instead, he secretly hated this old man, and finally killed him while someone was impeaching him.
You must know that the other party is an old minister of the Gege. Since Xia Yan was killed, he was the second minister to be killed.
There have been many such things, so it’s no wonder that in the end Li Zicheng attacked the enemy, no one was defending him, no ministers were resisting, and 90% of them knelt down and surrendered.
Chongzhen had nowhere to escape and could only hang himself.
Deserve it.
Don't know what is good or bad, have no responsibility, and don't know who is serving the country.
Even though this guy has some personal issues, he has good intentions and good intentions.
So Wen Rensheng will not work for this man.
Of course he will only work for himself.
A brother is right when he says that you can only rely on yourself if you rely on mountains or rivers.
The Jurchens can conquer the world and have many conspiracies and tricks, but the core is still their own core of 20,000 armored men, 3,000 White Fang La, and 1,500 Gebushe Xian.
Their advantage is to form an infantry battle formation, with cavalry on both sides, fighting in formation, using powerful infantry and bows, and heavy armored infantry to attack in formation to stun the enemy, and then use both cavalry wings to outflank and destabilize the enemy.
Finally, the enemy retreated and were massacred by cavalry.
Every time you win a big victory, you will completely destroy the enemy. If you lose, it will be a small defeat. With the cavalry holding down the formation, you can retreat most of them calmly.
It is equivalent to preserving core troops and constantly increasing experience while playing the game.
Many Bai Ya La are veterans with more than 20 years of experience. They are in the top three and fight non-stop.
When going into battle, you can take the initiative to form the formation, discover gaps in the enemy, and shake the enemy's morale.
Throwing, shooting, melee combat, physical fitness, and endurance skills are all maxed out.
They usually enjoy the highest treatment, and internal fighting does not involve them. They have always fought professionally.
Wen Rensheng also wants to build his own core force.
Then we need to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks.
Use sea and river transportation to establish a large-scale logistics system and establish superior arms. Only by this can you crush your opponents.
Using boats as cavalry, the losers board the boats and escape, while the winners capture the city and territory.
The most regrettable thing is that Zheng Chenggong died at the age of 39. Although he was defeated once in Yingtianxia, he was still able to recover later because he had strategic advantages.
His navy is absolutely powerful and has absolute superiority at sea.
His return to power was successful.
The Qing Dynasty had to wait until the Kangxi period to defeat the Zheng family navy, which had declined greatly. By that time, Zheng Chenggong had been dead for 20 years.
At that time, the Zheng family was in such chaos that there was really no way to fight.
Another key factor is his father, Zheng Zhilong. After all, he was only a maritime merchant, not from the same ethnic group. He did not have a clear goal, which led to the good situation being given away to others.
Zheng Chenggong could see Taiwan being recovered and used as a base, and his strategic vision was ten times stronger than that of his father.
His reputation in later generations was a thousand times stronger.
After Wen Rensheng determined his development direction, he continued to support Governor Wang and at the same time looked for a governor located in the south of the Yangtze River.
[Recommended, the Huanyuan app is really useful for chasing books. Download it here. huanyuanapp. You can try it soon. 】
That was the governor of Jianfu.
It is most suitable for him to seek refuge.
It would be best if Governor Wang replaced him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking of this, Wen Rensheng felt that time did not wait for us.
On this day, he went to find Governor Wang.
"Master Futai, do you want to make great contributions to restoring the soil?" he asked directly.
"Oh, don't start provocations without authorization, the emperor will only be angry." Governor Wang has just cleared the land and received a commendation. He is expected to become the governor in the future, or return to the capital and serve as the head of one of the six ministries. Of course, he does not want to mess with big things anymore.
Wen Rensheng also noticed that this was the shortcoming of many Ming bureaucrats.
Once you achieve success, you don’t want to keep moving forward.
They tend to enjoy a leisurely life rather than working hard.
Governor Wang still wanted to do something, so he found a soft persimmon and squeezed it.
This almost stung his hand, but luckily he drove away the Wu Xunman in advance.
Otherwise, the problem will be troublesome.
"What my nephew is talking about is not this place, but the governor of a place in the southeast. There are red-haired people there, occupying our island, but they have not been recaptured for a long time. According to my observation, the red-haired people have too few people, and they can only be surrounded by small boats and people.
, the red-haired people will inevitably retreat, such great achievements in restoring the land are enough to be qualified as a minister." Wen Rensheng said directly.
Governor Wang was moved.
"Even if we fail, it is still a good thing to stay away from this bitter cold and dangerous place in the northwest." Wen Rensheng followed up.
Governor Wang completely understood.
He decided to do it.
So he began to mobilize the power of Beijing and add his previous achievements.
So one month later, he was successfully transferred to the position of governor of Jianfu.
And when someone hears a promotion, he will naturally follow him.
When he was accompanying him, he ordered the thirteen merchants who had taken refuge with him to pack up their families, young and old, and set out together.
Of course some people don't want to.
If you don't want to break up your family, don't follow.
Wen Rensheng would not spoil them.
Since you rely on yourself, how can there be such a simple good thing?
He wants to use military law to manage the businesses that rely on him.
Just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they relied on barbaric and cruel military laws, coupled with the ability to eat well and take prisoners by force, to maintain a fighting force of armored men.
