Chapter 149 Master breaks the appointment, Huang Ans doubts
Huang An ignored the comments from outsiders and directly ordered the chiefs:
"In a few days, I will come up with a standard guide for punishing this kind of behavior. If they make a mistake in the future, you can punish them according to the measures above!"
Yang Chengwu and the others swallowed their throats and hesitantly agreed.
They really didn't expect that such a thing could involve them.
They have never seen such harsh and bizarre imperial methods.
However, the elder brother's words are the truth, and they cannot help but disobey.
Now that eldest brother has said this, what else can we do?
Just do it?
After all, they were not the ones who were beaten and scolded.
.......
Huang An was busy for the next two days.
There are many things going on in Xialin Village.
Fortunately, he is not the one doing the work, he is just the shopkeeper.
Even after discussing the planning issues of Dazhai with the craftsmen, he even handed over the accounting work to Yang Chengwu.
Just in time, let Xiaocao follow Yang Chengwu, learn calligraphy, and learn to calculate accounts.
In the evening of the next day, while all the chiefs were frightened, Huang An decided on the candidates for the fifteen chiefs and three general flag officers.
In fact, he had decided on the candidate for the general flag officer before going to Youzhou.
They are Yang Chengwu, Zhang Ren and Liu Long.
However, Huang An made certain changes in the arrangement of Shi Chang.
Warriors are warriors after all, and they are people selected by their masters. Comparatively speaking, in terms of both character and ability, they are actually not bad.
At least, from Huang An's own perspective, he is qualified for his current position.
Fifteen chiefs, three chief flag officers, and eighteen warriors all have their positions.
There are still two warriors left, and there are no corresponding arrangements.
Huang An naturally would not leave the remaining two warriors idle, and would even drive him out of his team.
Moreover, he has to entrust him with important tasks.
For the eighteen warriors who have been arranged, they all have their own tasks, mainly training and production.
The objects managed by these eighteen warriors are all the 202 big soldiers.
Classified as combatants.
But don't forget, there are more people, more than 600 people, who are also Huang An's people.
Huang An divided his people into two parts.
Combatants and non-combatants.
Among the combatants were Yang Chengwu and others, a total of 220 people.
Everyone else is non-combatant!
Among the non-combatants, there were two warriors.
Both combatants and non-combatants will live in Xialin Village from now on.
Daily production requires leaders and managers.
After all, what they eat now is a big pot of rice, and even small things such as cooking, buying food, washing dishes, etc. need someone to arrange it.
Therefore, in addition to the three general flag officers, Huang An also established two stewards, chief and deputy.
They are Yang Hao and Yan Long. Although these two people are warriors, they are also classified as non-combatants by Huang An.
These two people were the two best performers among the twenty warriors, excluding the three chief flag officers.
Their duty is to assist Huang An in managing these more than 600 non-combatants.
Their daily task is to maintain law and order in their area, including procurement, sanitation, canteens and other daily matters.
It can be said that the burden on them is actually the heaviest except for Huang An.
It is even heavier than the three chief flag officers.
However, their monthly salary is one tael lower than that of the general flag officer, only three taels.
But even so, Yang Hao and Yan Long were overjoyed.
I didn't expect that such a good thing could happen to them.
The two of them have a very busy task, because Huang An has given them full power to rebuild Xialin Village.
Even the three chief flag officers, after completing their daily training tasks with their brothers, must obey the arrangements of the two stewards when working.
This is the order of eldest brother Huang An, and no one can stop it.
No matter how weird the three flag officers, Yang Chengwu, felt, they had to accept these strange rules.
The area where Huang An and the others live is bustling with activity.
From sunrise to sunset, it is a lively scene of collective labor.
And above them, the area where his three brothers lived has also changed a lot.
Although they had no money, they rebuilt the entire Xialin Village.
However, the basic sanitary environment has also been greatly improved.
They also followed Huang An's example and arranged special manpower to crack down hard.
Xialin Village, which was originally a stagnant water, has basically never been quiet since Huang An arrived.
General Huang An is in charge of the overall situation and has to take care of martial arts training, as well as opening fields, erecting sheds, and building pig pens on the Dapo side.
His schedule is very full. He went to Dapo this morning to instruct the so-called "veterinarians" to castrate piglets.
Like his hometown, the castration technology in Daming was actually very early.
Although the development of civilizations in the two worlds are very different, there are striking similarities in the development of castration technology.
Although castration was first targeted at humans, it soon became common to animals as well.
They can naturally discover the benefits of castrating animals.
The tools used for castration in Daming are basically the same as those currently used by village veterinarians in his hometown.
It's just that there is a shortage of iodophor and other drugs for disinfection.
However, Huang An was slightly disappointed that the piglets they bought had a longer growth cycle and were far inferior to the white-skinned pigs from his hometown.
Huang An did not dare to use the white-skinned pigs from his hometown to improve the Youzhou pig breed.
But there is no problem in getting some iodophor for disinfection and preparing it yourself.
After all, iodophor is different from alcohol. To outsiders, the yellow-black juice color and smoky smell of iodophor are like juice squeezed from fresh herbal juice, which will not attract others' attention.
Especially the far-reaching ones.
Among them, the white-skinned pig has a different appearance, growth cycle, and hair than the native pigs of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang An doesn't plan to take it out now.
The interests involved in a small pig may exceed everyone's expectations.
He asked his men to raise pigs, just to keep them from being idle and thinking, and to give them something to do.
He didn't come to Daming to raise pigs in Xialin Village.
He must prioritize things clearly.
At noon, he returned to the makeshift canteen. While eating, Huang An ordered his brothers to call Yang Chengwu.
After Yang Chengwu, who was dressed in dust and mud, arrived, Huang An directly ordered:
"Prepare a carriage, find three brothers, and come with me to the city in the afternoon!"
When Yang Chengwu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing his elder brother waving, he crossed his fists and immediately looked for a carriage and someone.
According to the practice in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, Yang Chengwu and other warrior officers who acted as small bosses did not know how to work.
Where are the warriors who carry wood and bricks to build houses?
However, things are different here in Huang An. Even if you are a warrior, you still have to work with your brothers.
Except for the two stewards who commanded, the rest of the people, whether combatants or non-combatants, had to shoulder the burden and personally participate in the work.
Yang Chengwu and the others felt uncomfortable in their hearts, but because of the high wages and meat-based meals, they still let go of their arrogance and pride as warriors!
My eldest brother is so kind to us. He can do any work, just stretch his muscles.
Moreover, when they were in the army, they not only did these hard jobs, but when they encountered petty-minded superiors, they could be made to do the dirty work.
Huang An buried his head in eating, and when he raised his head to drink the soup, he saw Xiaocao on the table far away, also eating rice, his cheeks full.
He swallowed the food in his mouth and roared:
"Xiaocao, is there anyone coming to see me this morning?"
When Xiaocao heard Huang An's voice, she immediately forced herself to swallow the food in her mouth, choking until her eyes rolled out.
"Fourth Master, no, no one!"
Huang An said "Oh" and motioned for her to continue eating, but his brows furrowed.
He was confused. When he left that day, didn't his master say that someone would come to him in a few days and arrange a task for him?
It's been so many days, why is there no news at all?
