Chapter 42 Management

It was December 27th in a blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year was about to celebrate, but the Red Turban Army in Panshi Town had been unable to last for a year and drove northward in a mighty manner.

However, not only were there many artillery in their team, but there were also many combinations of rattan guns everywhere. People also bowed to Liu Chang from time to time: "Teacher Xie Jiandian teaches us the big gun battle method!"

"Liu Jiandian, please guard Panshi Village for your brothers. When the Dajing Camp is broken, let's have another drink."

"Check it out, Panshi Village will hand it over to you Dragon Gun Shou!"

Liu Chang was also full of spring breeze on his face: "Don't worry, everyone, Panshi Village is handed over to me, and with Liu there, Panshi Village!"

But the lady Ye next to him urged with a smile: "Check, if you don't enter Panshi Village, you won't even have stones left."

Liu Chang also had a smile on his face: "Miss Ye, how is the matter that asked you for help?"

Niang Ye was holding a short sword in his hand: "I have sent a clutch to contact you. It's the 27th day of the New Year. There are not many brothers who are willing to go out to sea. I asked them to go out to sea for a high price."

Liu Chang was very happy at this point: "All I have spent money will be reimbursed."

But Madam Ye turned his eyes: "You are polite, now there are only two families left in Panshi Village, so how can we not take care of each other? Besides, yesterday, Jane spoke up for our husband and wife in front of Qu Shuai. What is my little busyness?"

She was really charming and versatile as she spoke: "You really have to wait for Qu Zhenshan to move all Panshi Village?"

Although Panshi Village was not moved by Qu Zhenshan, the gap was not far away. The food, gunpowder, bird guns and various spoils in the village were almost moved by the Central Camp. Even the dozens of large and small cannons from Panshi Village were moved away by Qu Zhenshan, and the rest were all so-called cannons worth more than 3,000 kilograms.

Most of these cannons with a capacity of over 3,000 kilograms were cast during the First Opium War. The quality was very poor. If you put a little more gunpowder in it, it would explode on the spot. However, if you don’t put a lot of gunpowder in it, the range was too close, and it was too bulky, Qu Zhenshan was unable to transport it away.

In addition, there were only a few stones left, but Liu Chang didn't care about this gain or loss. He first sent Panshi Village to control it, and then prepared to establish order near Panshi Town.

Any ruler who wants to make a difference must establish order in his own ruling area, even if it is based on terror and violence. At this time, Nanxi Shuttle and Dragon Gun Shuttle sent a team to circle around Panshi Town and announced to everyone that Panshi Town had changed its owner.

Only after carefully understanding the background of Panshi Town did Liu Chang officially understand why Xu Fengfei called this place "shode". In a sense, this place is really a perfect shoal.

There are many fertile land in Panshi Town, but there are many hills and mountains. Therefore, although it has a glorious history, it has been going downhill since the Qing Dynasty. Including several villages near Panshi Town, Liu Changchuchu estimated that the population that can be controlled is only five or six thousand.

Now there are 2670 people under Liu Yu's army, plus 3400 people from Ge Mengjin and Ye Niangzi, almost ten people have to offer a mouth.

The peasant uprising army in history could not control military discipline, which is often because of this reason. However, Liu Chang had some wealth after all, and now there is a lot of grain in rural areas. He is planning to purchase a batch at the market price, so he can use his precious silver reserves in his hands.

But he could control his own troops and Ge Wuye's pirate team. For this reason, he specifically said hello to the couple: "Fifth Master, Madam Ye, if you need anything, just come to me. I will help you with everything, but if you need it, please make a list first and I will raise your efforts to get me. I don't have to bother you, thank you for your hard work when you go ashore."

He was afraid that the pirates would go ashore to rob, causing all the people in the area he controlled to escape, but Mrs. Ye was very capable. She replied directly to Liu Chang: "Don't worry, since this Panshi Town is the territory of the inspection, then if we don't eat grass by the nest, we will definitely give us some face."

Liu Chang was relieved, and Madam Ye continued: "The inspector doesn't have to help us free of charge. I just wanted the inspector to lend us a piece of the site in Panshi Town. There were still a lot of goods on our ship, and we were still in a hurry to take it out and sell it. Since we are the inspector to preside over justice for us, we have to accept the favor of the inspector."

They took five thousand taels of silver from Qu Zhenhan, and they were really well-off. With the orders of Ge Mengjin and Ye Niangzi, the pirates set up the stage when they got ashore.

Liu Chang forgot that they were pirate merchants, both pirates, but also merchants. Most of the goods they brought were Western products, which were cheap and affordable and affordable. I don’t know where they got them, but there were also supplies they plundered along the coast, with many tricks.

Now the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the villagers near Panshizhai have some copper coins in their hands. Although the soldiers crossed the border two days ago, they once ran to the mountain to take refuge, but now the Dragon Gun Shou and Nanxi Shou have rebuilt the nearby order. Not only have they come back, they are also very attentive to the goods brought by Niang Ye.

They also knew the background of Ge Mengjin and his group of people, but they also knew that since they played the role of a businessman in one place, they would never turn against each other and act as pirates immediately. Many rural wise men also deliberately asked the villagers of their own villages and tribes to come and buy more goods, and then handed the order to Ge Mengjin as their protection fee.

Not only did Ge Mengjin sell all kinds of foreign goods, his fleet had intercepted the Oujiang River. Any civilian ship who wanted to enter and exit the Oujiang River would have to pay them a protection fee. Sometimes they would take the goods and catches on the ship, and then send a yellow flag to ensure that they would be unobstructed on Ge Mengjin's territory in the future.

Ge Mengjin had a lot of ways to get money. His fleet not only patrolled the river mouth, but also several boats simply showed their fishing gear and acted as fishing boats. Every day, countless catches were replaced with all kinds of supplies Ge Mengjin wanted.

The fishing resources of this era can be described as extremely rich. The price is similar to rice. So many catches alone are enough to pay for the daily expenses of the Ge Mengjin fleet.

Seeing Ge Mengjin fighting gold a lot, Liu Chang was also quite jealous. After inquiring about it, he realized that these were mostly Miss Ye’s ideas. Not only could Miss Ye fight, but she also took care of Ge Mengjin’s fleet’s money bag.

However, when Mrs. Ye makes money every day, Liu Chang is suspected of sacrificing her life. Not to mention anything else, the fishing catches that cannot be sold every day are sold. In the end, Mrs. Ye sells them to Liu Chang at a bargain price, and allows Liu Chang to be on credit.

Liu Chang is very willing to have a long-term and stable protein source for the army. The Wenzhou local pork is of very good quality these days and is a real green food. However, the portion size of each pig is light and the lean meat rate is low, making it unrealistic for the army to eat pork every day.

Everyone welcomed the large number of fish caught on the dinner table. At least they could eat fish every day, which was something that they dare not think about at home. However, in this way, many people took their families over. Panshi Village often had more than 400 mouths to eat.

Liu Chang couldn't kick all his family away. He followed you to do this beheading and rebellious business, and even let his wife and children come to join him, and he wouldn't go home during the Chinese New Year. He really had nothing to say except for having extra meals.

But it is not a solution to sit like this, so Liu Chang specially summoned his cadres to discuss the matter: "We have already owed Ge Wuye more than 100 taels of silver to catch. It is not a solution to continue like this. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Panshi Town is too small!" Yun Tianzong immediately replied: "There are only five or six thousand cucumbers in total, and I can't get much oil and water out!"

"Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. Panshi Town is our foundation now." Huo Qiu, the old salt owl, understands the world very well: "not only can't be plundered here, but also gives kindness everywhere."

"Then is there any way to make money?" Liu Chang asked: "Now we have to open up a source of wealth like Mrs. Ye!"

"The most money is opium." Sun Huzi immediately said: "Ge Mengjin and the others also secretly sold this. Should we get it?"

Liu Chang was naturally disgusted with the opium trade and immediately rejected the suggestion: "We don't trade bad goods. Can your old business make money later?"
