"Shen Changshi recommended Fan Dahei, what happened?"
After walking out of the Qiuhu Mountain Villa, Li Zhigao asked Zhou Yuan with a gloomy face.
"The toad of the Han family wants to eat the swan meat of Master Zhang. As for Master Zhang, no matter how reluctant he is, he can't marry his daughter to a soldier. Seeing that Master Shen also admires him, he persuaded Master Shen to recommend him. "Who would have thought that this man named Han, without any gratitude at all, would actually complain about us coming? Could it be that Mr. Zhang's daughter has humiliated the soldiers in his house?" Zhou Yuan said with a smile.
"You think things are not chaotic enough?" Li Zhigao stamped his feet anxiously, but he could guess that Zhou Yuan's actions were probably his father's instructions, and there was no way he could say it too harshly.
Li Zhigao came to see Han Qian in the afternoon, mainly because he hoped that the workshop could expand the scale of employment, and the other reason was that the workshop could hire villagers to work in turn.
In addition to the previous "Epidemic Water Shure" and the preparation for the establishment of Secret Cao Zuosi, Han Qian's greatest contribution to the Longque Army was the establishment of a craft workshop.
In addition to building some special armor and equipment for Zuosi, the workshop is mainly a coal yard, brick kiln, and lime kiln. At present, in addition to supplying a large amount of cheap coal, lime, green bricks and other materials to the Tun Palace Military Mansion in batches, it also supplies large amounts of cheap coal, lime, and green bricks from the Tun Palace. The camp military mansion employs thousands of strong men and women as laborers.
Although the wages of laborers hired in craft workshops are three liters of japonica rice per day, which is not very high, for these workers, they can get this extra income outside of farming, and their living conditions are better than other farmers who are still struggling to survive. Much improved.
At least these thousands of villagers can get basic satisfaction in food and clothing.
Li Zhigao wanted to say this last night, but after Han Qian heard Shen Yang say that he wanted to recommend Fan Dahei, he refused and left last night because he was too tired. Li Zhigao didn't think much about it at the time. He specially invited Zhou Yuan to come to see Han this morning. Qian originally hoped that Han Qian would agree to the workshop hiring villagers to do work in turn. In fact, he hoped that more villagers could enjoy this benefit.
Just as Han Qian said, if the camp cannot solve the problem of hunger and cold, how can the military be loyal?
Who would have thought that what Zhou Yuan and the others had done had offended Han Qian's bottom line, and Li Zhigao didn't think there was any room for mentioning this matter for the time being.
"What Marquis Du Yu wants to do is easy to do. Either ask Lord Shen Yang to talk to Han Qian directly, or directly recruit these farmers who are working in the workshop." Zhou Yuan knew Li Zhigao's troubles and suggested. .
The people employed in the craftsmen's workshops were all military residents. In the past, in order to ensure the supply of many materials, these people were not recruited during rotation training of the soldiers.
Logically speaking, not only could Li Zhigao recruit these people for rotational training, Zhou Yuan could also recruit these people to participate in construction work such as city building, which would inevitably force Han Qian to hire additional farmers to ensure that there would be no shortage of labor in the craftsmanship workshop. .
"Don't create any more trouble," Li Zhigao warned Zhou Yuan.
Things were already in a mess. His father and His Highness were preparing to lead the Dragon Bird Army on an expedition before winter. Many things required Han Qian's cooperation and assistance. He didn't want Zhou Yuan to do anything superfluous.
"Just because he has some involvement with us, he doesn't want to win over, but he kicks people away. This guy is also a ungrateful and unjust master!" Zhou Yuan curled his lips and asked Zhang Qian with a smile, " Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"
"Why do I think it's useless, but I don't know how the people who belong to Zuo Si will feel if they know this?" Zhang Qian said with a smile.
Li Zhigao glanced at Zhang Qian and Zhou Yuan, feeling anxious in his heart. He secretly felt that he should have a good talk with his father. It might not be a good thing to let people like Zhou Yuan continue to stir up trouble!
…………
…………
Li Zhigao warned like this, but Zhou Yuan may not obey him.
In the evening, Han Qian was still in the villa sorting out the affairs of the craftsman's workshop. Zhou Yuan sent someone to come to the house and wanted to recruit 200 craftsmen from the workshop to make up for the shortage of manpower in the walled city due to the construction of ditches in Qiudong.
The military households in the camp were also official workers during their leisure time and training. The Gongcao presided over by Zhou Yuan had the right to recruit laborers from the military households who were off training to carry out construction work.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan only transferred 20% of the manpower from the workshop this time, so Han Qian had no way to complain to the third prince.
Han Qian got the recruitment letter sent by someone from Zhou Yuan, put it on the corner of the table, waved his hand and asked the little official sent by Zhou Yuan to go out, and said: "I understand, Mr. Zhou wants to employ people, I am here
There is no reason to hold on to it - just notify the people directly in each village, there is no need to say anything to me..."
Seeing Han Qian's gloomy expression, Zhao Ting'er asked, "Are we going to transfer Ji Xiyao back from Xuzhou?"
Fan Xicheng was initially in charge of the craftsman's workshop. After Fan Xicheng went to Xuzhou, Han Qian was handed over to Fan Dahei as well.
Although it was unsatisfactory, Fan Dahei still worked hard to maintain the workshop. At the same time, he also built a new coal yard and Shitanghe warehouse according to Han Qian's arrangements. Everything was done properly.
Now Han Qian suddenly sent Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng to Jinling, Tiancheng, and Gao Shaoneng to take over the affairs of the inspection room and military room, but the affairs in the workshop were more complicated, and Zhou Yuan hardened his heart and wanted to
Trip, Zhao Ting'er suggested that Han Qian transfer Ji Xiyao back from Xuzhou to take charge of the workshop.
"..." Han Qian slowly shook his head, held up the window and looked at the setting sun on the top of the distant mountains, which was about to be drowned by the mountains and forests, and said, "They have been so tormented, how can I still bring Ji Xiyao back?"
Zhao Ting'er was a little confused, but Xi Yi sneered.
"Send someone to call over the leading craftsmen in the workshop." Han Qian returned to the desk and sat down, telling Zhao Ting'er.
The craftsman's workshop is less than a mile below the villa. After a cup of tea, everyone, including the leading craftsmen from the coal yard, came over to wait for orders.
The coal yard is twelve or three miles away from the back mountain. The leading engineer usually keeps an eye on the site. Seeing these people coming when called, Han Qian knew that he suddenly replaced Fan Dahei, which was a big surprise. Or maybe they already knew about the coal field.
Cao Shenjun recruited people from the workshop.
Han Qian's heart was as cold as iron. He secretly felt that Wan Honglou and Xinchang Houfu were so troubled. Not only could he not transfer Ji Xiyao back, he even sent all the young craftsmen with real potential to be cultivated to Xuzhou, step by step.
Put the stall up.
As for the many plans he originally planned to implement in Jinling, it seems that there is no need to spend too much thought on them at this time.
"Young Master, Mr. Song just came to the workshop and said that the manpower involved in the construction of Nanzhai will be on duty early tomorrow morning. Construction of the dam and water mill should be postponed for now?" As soon as Fan Dahei left, there was no one in the workshop.
The leading engineer, several leading engineers, called out Zheng Tong, an old engineer in his fifties, to stand up on their behalf and speak to Han Qian.
Zheng Tong is the same type of person as Ji Fu. They are both born as great craftsmen, and their names are so similar. Their family members were infected with the epidemic and were forced to live in the world. They did not have a place to stay until they were taken in by the camp military government. However, in this world
The status of the craftsman family was low, and Zheng Tong also developed a temperament of respecting minors and being cautious and not daring to do anything.
The petty officials around Zhou Yuan were considered "adults" in front of them who did not dare to disobey him.
Before Han Qian left Jinling, he appointed Zheng Tong to be in charge of the brick kiln. Zheng Tong was worried for a long time, but in the end he was forced to take charge of the brick kiln. He did not dare to disobey Han Qian's order, so he took charge of the matter.
People like Zheng Tong and Ji Fu are okay with following the rules and don't dare to be sloppy in doing things. They may worry about something going wrong when they sleep at night, but they usually don't dare to go beyond anything, which is also the biggest problem.
And Han Qian also knew clearly that this type of people had the lowest sense of identification with him. In the eyes of these people, he was an alternative, a whirlpool that could only bring unknown dangers, and could not give them the sense of stability they expected more.
It's just that his "cruelty" temporarily deterred these people from resisting.
Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng are actually this kind of people, so they are easily tempted.
Thinking of this, Han Qian's face became more and more gloomy. He stared at the leading engineers standing in front of the corridor and said in a deep voice: "The workshop belongs to Zuo Si. As long as I take charge of Zuo Si, you will all call me '
Sir, you must also remember that except for His Royal Highness the Third Prince, no one can point fingers at Zuo Si. In the future, whether Zhou joins the army or Li Du is the Marquis of Yu, the cats and dogs around them will
"Anyone who dares to come to the workshop, Zuo Sichong or any other 'adult' will be beaten away by me with a stick."
Xi Rong, who was sitting on her knees behind Han Qian, could feel the murderous aura emanating from Han Qian. She glanced at Zhao Ting'er and thought that Han Qian was not just trying to clean up the workshop, but also reorganizing Zuo Si.
"Yes, young master, sir." Zheng Tong and others responded stammeringly.
"What has been arranged must not be stopped, and you must not slack off in the slightest,"
Han Qian continued,
"In addition to recruiting all the disciples of Zuo Si who are over thirteen years old, the manpower we are lacking this time is also willing to send their children to work in the craftsmen. As long as they are over thirteen years old,
You can also recommend someone to come in..."
"If we go like this, I'm afraid the number of people will exceed a lot." Zheng Tong said rather uneasily, with some knots in his words.
The expropriated craftsmen will naturally not miss the opportunity to recommend their children to work in the workshop. This has almost made up for the shortage of labor, and they have recruited all the additional children of Zuo Si, which can't be more than three or four at a time.
Hundreds of people?
Han Qian did not want to show the humility of a polite corporal to appease people's hearts, so he said arbitrarily:
"I know this in my heart. In addition to these, Zhuchang will also provide a lunch for the craftsmen in the future; and the disciples of Zuosi between the ages of thirteen and sixteen can all stay in the sentry courtyard. These
They can concentrate on reading some books at night, and their food, accommodation and other matters will also be taken care of by the workshop..."
The five outposts built outside the Qiuhu Mountain Villa are intended to control the valley passes in and out of the villa. They are currently under the jurisdiction of Zuosi.
At this time, the conflict with Anning Palace and the Prince's family had not yet become sharp. Each sentry courtyard was only guarded by two or three people, but in fact each sentry courtyard was fifty or sixty steps square and was a small sentry fort.
Later, barracks will be built inside to ensure that when the situation is tense, up to three to four hundred elite generals can be garrisoned.
Han Qian secretly estimated that he should be able to recruit more than 500 workers this time, so he thought that he would simply gather the children of Zuosi scouts, inspectors and craftsmen to provide food and accommodation, work during the day, and work in the morning and evening.
You can take time to teach writing, arithmetic, craftsmanship, swords, bows, riding, and archery.
Even before the biggest crisis comes, he may not be able to leave enough time to cultivate echelon direct forces in batches within the Tunying Military Mansion, but he must at least give priority to ensuring that the loyalty of Zuosi's troops will not be easily betrayed by others.
shaken.
Zheng Tong and other leading engineers did not dare to say anything. After all, they themselves had benefited a lot, so they took the order and retreated first.
