As soon as the teaching corps was fully staffed, Wu Shigong couldn't wait to start the training of the new corps. In addition to the regular training subjects, the teaching corps focused on the square formation confrontation between the two infantry regiments. In this way,
Find problems and solve them.
Wu Shigong would look through the training summaries recorded by Chi Ming and the others every day, plus the battle summaries recorded by Chi Ming and the others in the past. Wu Shigong felt that after he returned to Runing Mansion, the Runing Army's drill and tactics manuals would come
Second major revision and major addition.
Wu Shigong's requirement for the teaching regiment is that in the field, it can withstand the attack of 5,000 infantry or 3,000 cavalry; and in the attack, it can completely defeat the 3,000 infantry or 1,000 cavalry. And the level of the imaginary enemy is this time
The Guan Ning cavalry that Wu Shigong saw. I wonder if Wu Sangui and the others would be furious after knowing Wu Shigong's thoughts.
During these days, Wu Shigong lived a very fulfilling life. During the day, he guided and taught the training of the Legion, and at night, he and Karelli were inseparable.
Karelli has been looking through the goods from Dengzhou City sent by the rebels these days. He is often surprised and deceived, which completely satisfies Karelli, a Ming fan, for the high-end civilization of the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Shigong also already knew that Karelli was from a small noble in Europe, and seeing Karelli often jumping around in the big tent like a deer, he felt a little funny in his heart, and thought: "What if
Can I take some of the things here to Europe and deceive some European princesses?"
However, such days did not last long. After receiving the news from Wu Shigong, Guo Zeng'an and Lu Jianchen from Yangzhou took advantage of the situation to calm down and rushed to the Henan Army camp.
Wu Shigong immediately sent someone to call Qianhu Kou Fenghai over. Without asking for Kou Fenghai's opinion at all, he asked him to send people to lead the salt field personnel brought by Lu Jianchen and Guo Zeng'an to investigate the places where a salt field could be opened in Kou Fenghai's Qianhu residence.
.
After being obedient for a long time, Kou Fenghai begged Wu Shigong: "Sir, even a small person understands the principle of living by the sea, but we dare to boil some salt and make a small fuss. If you make such a big fuss, the civil servants and inspectors in those places will
(Salt industry inspections) will all attack me. I am afraid that when the adults return to Henan, this salt farm will not be saved!"
Wu Shigong glared and said to Kou Fenghai: "You are too timid. I was originally a member of the local guard station's Qianhu, but if you look at me now, and then look at your Qianhu, you are wrong.
From what I hear, you are not as good as one of my subordinates."
"There are people in your Qianhu Office who have guns. As long as you dare to fight, where will the powerful and petty officials dare to mess with you? You dare to come here to fight desperately, don't you dare to fight with them? This
Where has the blood of men gone?"
"The two officials who came here this time are both salt merchants from Yangzhou. You have always heard of their abilities. They can definitely handle smaller official matters. If there is a big situation, they will have their own officials.
"
So Wu Shigong took out Zhu Dadian's warrant and waved it in front of Kou Fenghai's eyes. Then he said: "Look. Look, I can even get the governor's warrant. What else do you have to doubt?"
"Let me tell you again, my father and father-in-law are both hereditary and irreplaceable marquises. You should understand the background of opening the salt farm. But your worries are justified. It will be difficult for me to take care of me after I return to Henan.
Here. But please don't worry, as long as these two members are ready to open a salt farm in your Qianhusuo, I will find a local high official to support you."
Of course, the speed of surveying the salt field was very fast. The requirements for the salt drying site were not high anyway. Soon, the people sent by Lu Jianchen and Guo Zeng'an to survey came back and reported: "We found a salt drying field that can produce at least 30,000 rock salt products every year."
.And there are two smaller sites nearby that can be expanded."
So Wu Shigong immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Liu Zeqing. The message was also very simple, that is: "If you want to get rich, come quickly!"
After receiving the message, Liu Zeqing immediately came to the Henan Army camp as if he had grown flying legs. As soon as he heard that he could cooperate in opening a salt farm by using his protective umbrella, Liu Zeqing agreed without hesitation and patted his chest.
.
However, Liu Zeqing was not a fool after all. He said to Wu Shigong in private: "Brother Chang Jing, if it is a minor matter, there is absolutely no problem for me to say hello. But if something big happens, brother, I am beyond my reach!"
Wu Shigong thought for a while and felt that it was the case. After all, Liu Zeqing was the deputy general of Caozhou and could not reach Dengzhou. It was like Wu Shigong had power in Runing and Guide, but could not control Henan Prefecture (which is the modern Luoyang City).
, and Henan Province are two different concepts).
So Wu Shigong came up with an idea: "Give Sheng Yangong another 10% of the shares. With his protection, all officials in the world will give him another 30%."
Liu Zeqing was a little embarrassed. He said, "The Kong family is a family of poets and calligraphers. Will they engage in a humble business like salt?"
Wu Shigong smiled at Liu Zeqing knowingly. He knew that Liu Zeqing didn't care about the reputation of the Kong family at all. It was just that Liu Zeqing had some enmity with the Kong family in the past, and it was hard to turn around when he suddenly cooperated with the Kong family.
Wu Shigong said: "Who doesn't like this thing of silver? Even if Sheng Yangong doesn't want to, he can still find other people. At most, I will be shameless and go to the capital to find a certain father-in-law or noble honor. But in that case, we will just
If he is going to bleed more, it would be better for him to live in the Kong Mansion. At least you can contain him in Caozhou. Harmony breeds wealth! Harmony breeds wealth!"
Liu Zeqing thought for a moment, nodded heavily and said, "Then I'll just accept the humiliation, brother." The two of them burst into laughter.
Then Liu Zeqing said to Wu Shigong: "But I also have something to ask of you. Denglai, this place has been so troubled by the Kong thieves this time. There will definitely not be another Denglai governor in the future, and it will be transferred to the Shandong governor's management."
. So in the future, the military attache here will most likely be Qiu Lei’s. He doesn’t have a good relationship with either of us. I’m afraid that my official position is too small and I won’t be able to suppress him!”
Wu Shigong laughed out loud, Liu Zeqing's mind was spinning very fast! In this way, he could find a way to be promoted? So Wu Shigong promised: "Brother Hezhou, I won't hide it from you, little brother. You also know
The reason why I rescued the old man from Dengzhou Township this time is because I found a relationship in Dengzhou City. But the power of this relationship in the city is too small, and it can't be of much use now."
"But we all know that the best time to attack the city is when the sea water freezes. Thief Kong will rush to escape by boat, and he has no intention of defending Dengzhou City anymore. And by that time, I promise, if
When there was chaos in Dengzhou City, I immediately informed Brother Hezhou and asked Brother Hezhou's troops to advance into the city. With this achievement, Brother Hezhou can take a step forward."
"How embarrassing!" Liu Zeqing waved his hands hypocritically.
"Don't be too busy thanking me. I can only do my best. When the time comes, it will be so chaotic that we can't be sure who will enter the city first." Wu Shigong also said with a smile.
"It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to make things happen! Brother, I also understand this truth. Anyway, I'd like to thank you here first." Liu Zeqing saluted Wu Shigong and said.
Wu Shigong also returned the gift and then said: "But I still have a request."
"Say!" Liu Zeqing's expression also became solemn. However, Liu Zeqing felt relieved. It would be a bit strange if Wu Shigong didn't make the request.
"If at that time, your troops want to open the way in front, and all the heads will be yours, maybe you can be promoted to two levels. But if it is property, you will take three of them, weapons and armor, three of them, and horses.
and artillery all belong to me."
"Sure!" Liu Zeqing agreed.
"Also, if Chen Dusi and Jiang Qianzong want to work with you, don't bully them!"
"We are all brothers who have traveled all the way. There is no problem with such a small matter." Liu Zeqing also agreed generously. After thinking about it, Liu Zeqing asked kindly, "Brother, I will just say one more thing. If you do this, brother, you can also
It’s such a disadvantage. Don’t you want any military merit at all?”
Wu Shigong said with a smile: "Brother Hezhou also knows that the relationship between the younger brother and the governor and the supervisor is not harmonious. When the city is broken, if they are magnanimous, the younger brother will always have some credit. If they still hold grudges, even if they do it again
A lot of credit has been lost on their brushes. So I might as well give it to you, brother."
Liu Zeqing nodded and accepted Wu Shigong's statement. What he didn't know was that Wu Shigong's biggest reason was that he didn't want his troops to suffer losses. So Liu Zeqing and Wu Shigong each took what they needed.
The next thing about the salt farm went smoothly. The funds for the salt farm came from the Lu family and the Guo family, and the manpower came from Kou Fenghai, a thousand-year-old family. Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing both held 15% of the shares. The Lu family and the Guo family both held 20%.
Kou Fenghai holds 20% of the shares, but he also has to hand over some to the commander of the guard station. Anyway, these are all handled by himself. As for the 10% of the Kong family, Wu Shigong decided on their behalf. However, Wu Shigong also gave
Wu Shiwen, the fifth brother, sent a letter asking him to go to Sheng Yangong in person to tell the good news.
But Wu Shigong also has a request for this salt field. Based on the price of delivering it to Guide Prefecture or Runing Prefecture, at the price of one tael of silver per stone, he will provide Runing Camp with 20,000 stones of salt every year. Of course, if there are more
, then the more the merrier.
When Liu Zeqing learned that the sale of salt products also had high profits, he was a little ready to make a move. So Liu Zeqing also ordered a batch of salt products. Wu Shigong felt a little funny in his heart. Caozhou was the main base for Yangzhou salt sales. Liu Zeqing
Can you beat those Yangzhou salt merchants? Only God knows. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ·
