In order to ensure the military power and the loyalty of the soldiers, Wang Xuan also deliberately redesigned the plan. Each thousand families of the soldiers' families built a separate village. In this way, the entire village was an absolute supporter of Wang Xuan.
This treatment was also implemented at the same time for the soldiers previously recruited by Fuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture. As a result, in the five coastal prefectures, there were six large villages of Wang Xuan's absolute supporters distributed in each prefecture.
In these military-affiliated villages, Wang Xuan invested a lot of money, livestock and farm tools for farming, unified construction of water power, promotion of education and construction of schools, absolutely ensuring that the soldiers had no worries and 100% loyalty.
Just for this policy alone, Wang Xuan spent more than 500,000 acres of land, especially in Funing Prefecture, specifically coordinating and replacing 100,000 acres of land. Of course, Wang Xuan would definitely not take it by surprise, but he just wanted to do it.
, the other party wouldn’t dare not change, after all, how many times does the other party still take advantage?
If Wang Xuan continues this operation, the entire FJ province will be blown up. This is more than 500,000 acres of land!
During this time, all families, big and small, were discussing Wang Xuan's grand gesture.
In a restaurant, a group of people and drinkers were talking about this kind of thing.
"Is Wang Xuan crazy? This is more than 500,000 acres of land. It is an inheritance that can be passed down for thousands of years. You must know that the Lin family, after two dynasties, has only accumulated less than 200,000 acres of land. If
I have these five hundred thousand acres of land, and I will never let it go!"
"No, although each acre of land is worth five taels of silver, it doesn't mean that you can buy 20,000 acres of land for one hundred thousand taels of silver. After all, there is only so much land. Who sells a large amount of land for no reason?
ah!"
Wang Xuan's recruitment of troops and the re-establishment of the village were done openly, and it was impossible to hide these things. Therefore, in a short time, the news spread throughout Fujian, and everyone in restaurants and teahouses talked about it while eating and chatting.
Even those families who have cooperated deeply with Wang Xuan are also talking about these things.
"Fart, you can't comment on what Mr. Wang does? Never talk about these things in public in the future! People with your kind of thinking will never have 500,000 acres of land!" The head of the Xing family immediately became angry.
In the Xing family, only Wang Xuan followed suit.
Only the upper echelons of the family know the secret of Wang Xuan's operation.
"In Mr. Wang's words, you are short-sighted, and you will gain only if you give up. Besides, the annual profit generated by these five hundred thousand acres of land is not very big. Mr. Wang's wharf is the real daily income."
"In such a big new city, you know how much money Wang Xuan made just from selling houses. There are so many shops, one next to the other, and the monthly rent alone is so much, not to mention the warehouses, trading centers, and docks behind it.
The cost, not to mention the ever-expanding shipyards and steel plants!”
"Do you think no one is jealous of these profits? But whoever dares to touch it, let alone the seven major families, will be directly destroyed by ashes. Now, even the imperial court does not dare to touch Mr. Wang. That's
A true army of tens of thousands."
"According to Mr. Wang, after five or six years, when a group of soldiers retire, they can be recruited again from which villages. As long as these lands exist, these villages will continuously supply soldiers. That is the real foundation!
"
Recruiting troops, allocating land, and building villages can certainly not be done in a few days. For this reason, Wang Xuan once again recruited some staff, from talents to civil servants. This examination was like a small imperial examination.
Same, but it actually attracted a large number of unhappy people.
Under the imperial examination system that has existed for hundreds of years, a large number of scholars have appeared. However, there are only a few positions in the officialdom, and there are many scholars who have achieved academic success but have nowhere to use it. For a powerful person like Wang Xuan, it is still difficult to recruit some people.
It's easy, there are too many people willing to commit.
At least in Fujian, the various officials under Wang Xuan were no less prestigious than those of the imperial officials.
Wang Xuan can just leave these matters to the people below. He can't care about everything. At most, he only goes to inspect occasionally.
…
This morning, when Wang Xuan was practicing sword skills in the backyard martial arts field, he happened to glance over and saw Ye Huo standing quietly at the edge. He was not in a hurry to ask, but after practicing a set thoroughly
Then he slowly stopped.
Immediately, a servant brought a towel. Wang Xuan gently wiped the sweat on his body, then turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The trusted magistrate of Fuzhou has arrived. He is in Qiu Shiju. Qi Hongliang brings people to help him clean up his dust."
"Have all the information on this person been checked out?" Wang Xuan asked calmly. Wang Xuan also argued with the new Fujian magistrate. However, the number of officials he attracted was really limited. On this point, there was no argument.
other side.
"We have found out, they are from Suzhou, Donglin family."
"How many people will you bring when you take office this time?"
"On the surface, there are only five of them, but I don't know secretly."
Wang Xuan sat on the chair and smiled coldly when he heard this, "No matter how many people he brings, everyone will be monitored by me. Even if they urinate, they cannot leave our sight. It is forbidden to raise pigeons in the government office. If
Yes, just let someone shoot him."
"People who are overt and covert must be dug out for me. Everything coming out of the government office must be inspected by our people. They are absolutely not allowed to blindly pass on information. If there are any memorials or the like, they will be inspected carefully. If they are not up to standard,
All will be destroyed.”
"Ok, I see!"
During this period of time, Wang Xuan should not be too arrogant. After all, the army has just begun to recruit. When all 50,000 soldiers and horses in the province are recruited and trained, Wang Xuan will not be so cautious anymore.
But now, Wang Xuan doesn't want anyone to give him trouble.
The next day, after the handover between Qi Hongliang and the new prefect Xu Yangqiu was completed, he came to Wang Xuan to say goodbye, and then went straight to Guangzhou to take office. In order to ensure Qi Hongliang's safety, Wang Xuan specially sent twenty people
A third-rate master accompanied him, and from now on he was at Qi Hongliang's side.

…
The magistrate's yamen, trusting Xu Yangqiu, smiled and chatted with everyone in the yamen and sent everyone away. Then he ordered the master to close the door. Only the two of them were left in the room, and the remaining three were guarding the door.
Xu Yangqiu didn't trust anyone in the government office. In fact, he didn't want to come here to take office. However, Wang Xuan's side was rising too fast, and with it, Fujian was also on the rise. How could this not cause problems?
Attention of the Jiangnan family.
It's not that they want to deal with Wang Xuan or anything. We can't say that they are hostile. After all, they are thousands of miles apart and there is no conflict of interest. They don't know what Wang Xuan has in mind. They just do it just in case.
Just playing chess and driving a nail in Fujian.
In the future, whether it's wooing or anything else, you must always be prepared.
Of course, this is just the idea of the big families in Jiangnan. As for what Wang Xuan thinks, they have never considered it. It is just a newly rising force with no foundation at all. How can they be placed in the big families like Jiangnan?
In eyes.
who are they?
It is a big Jiangnan family with officials all over the imperial court, a big Jiangnan family that controls the lifeline of the entire imperial court, a big Jiangnan family that would make even the Ming Dynasty tremble when they step on their feet!
The only people who can be regarded as opponents in their eyes are their own people in Jiangnan, Huguang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and South Zhili!
For other places, count it as a ball!
"Sir, according to the news, Wang Xuan is the leader of the Fuzhou Prefecture, and all other big and small forces follow his lead. Do you want to pay a visit tomorrow?"
"I have to go. After all, these are the rules. The family asked me to come here just to get in touch with Wang Xuan and see if I can win over him."
"Okay, I'll go and give my greetings right now."
"Okay, let's go."
Early the next morning, Xu Yangqiu rode on a carriage and went straight to Wang Xuan's mansion outside the city.
Sitting on the carriage, Xu Yangqiu couldn't help but sigh: "The roads in Fuzhou Prefecture are really well built, smooth and smooth, and the carriage is also good, wide and comfortable. There is really nothing like this in the north. I heard that this is all
Did Wang Xuan do it?"
"Yes, sir, I heard it before I came here. These things were all made by Wang Xuan, including these four-wheeled carriages, which are relatively rare in our Jiangnan. After all, this carriage cannot run on bad roads."
That master had also been an official with Xu Yangqiu for seven or eight years. Before, he used to travel in sedan chairs, not to mention the slow pace, and the going up and down was very bumpy. Compared with the current conditions, it is indeed a bit far behind.
"I also heard that Wang Xuan built a new dock city outside the city. I'll take a look at it later. How does it compare to Jiangnan!"
"Hahaha, the master thinks too highly of Wang Xuan. How can this be compared with Jiangnan? Those are cities built over hundreds of years. The so-called new city must be just to put money on his own face. It's just a mere person.
How can it be possible to build a city with just one force?"
"Hahaha, I don't need this new city to be very good, as long as it's not too bad, it will be like a small county town like mine in Jiangnan. After all, it was built by one person."
The conversation between the two in the car was clearly heard by the yamen driver outside. Especially when he was bragging about Jiangnan and looking down on Xincheng, the yamen couldn't help but curled his lips. Although he had never been to Jiangnan himself, he
But he doesn't think it can be much better than Xincheng. In terms of cleanliness alone, even Nanjing City, he doesn't think it can be better than Xincheng!
The Yamen servant was deeply angry at the new magistrate's sense of superiority from a member of a large family in the south of the Yangtze River!
Even if the other party smiles at you, they, the government officials who have seen countless people, can clearly feel that it is just a courtesy, and it just shows the other party's educated politeness.
It is definitely not about looking up to you, let alone respecting you.
