Feng Ziying actually likes this kind of communication. Simply relying on the emotional card or the network card will not last long. Only benefits are eternal.
For You Shigong, the main role of these craftsmen is to maintain the logistical support and maintenance of the camps in Ji Town, which he must strive for and guarantee.
Although war in this era is not like modern war, apart from the guarantee of food and grass, other maintenance guarantees are not easy either.
The making and repair of armor and belts, the addition and repair of weapons and related equipment, as well as a series of seemingly casual but actually quite complicated preparations and maintenance such as carriages, tents, saddles, shoes, etc., all these are finally settled.
It is also a quite complex system, not as simple as the outside world imagines.
Feng Ziying has lived with his father in Datong since he was a child, so he naturally knows something about these things, so he never expected You Shifeng to show his kindness and support him unreservedly. This result already made him very satisfied.
Furthermore, this model of cooperation is also what he wants, and it can really go a long way.
In the future, the most powerful comprehensive manufacturing base for ordnance, weapons, armor, vehicles, etc. will be established based on Yongping Prefecture. The primary targets are Liaodong and Jizhen.
Now the production capacity of the War and War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau has dropped to a very weak point. They are short of people, money, money and technology, so the firecrackers are made in Foshan, while the War and War Bureau can only make some ordinary things.
Objects such as swords and flag tents.
If Yongping can develop, relying on its geographical advantages, it can completely replace Foshan and Bingzhan Bureau as the main military supply base of Jiliao Town. At the same time, it can be further opened to Xuanfu, Datong, and Yulin towns.
In the future, they can even monopolize the supply of military supplies to the entire nine sides of the Northland.
This is an idea. If you are the chief minister, you will definitely not tie the imperial court's weapons and military supply to a certain or even a few private workshops. At the very least, the imperial court should maintain a basic production capability, but it can control the military.
The bureau needs to be restructured so that it can compete with these private workshops.
At present, these craftsmen are crucial to the initial stage of this or several private coal and iron mining and manufacturing complexes, but as time goes by and a large number of skilled workers are trained, the role of these craftsmen will decline, and both
No one can say what the situation will be like three years from now.
Now Feng Ziying has no intention to conflict with the gentry and landlords who control a large number of people in Yongping Prefecture. He hopes to use a demonstration effect to attract these local gentry in Yongping to join this huge enterprise based on steel and building materials.
Come from the industrial cluster.
There will be a process, but when the profits reach a certain level, Feng Ziying believes that no one can resist this temptation, even if the landlords betray their own class interests, it can still be achieved.
Just like Jiangnan, none of the maritime merchants and owners of silk, cotton, tea, porcelain, and shipbuilding workshops were originally landlords. There were very few pure merchants, or they were all a mixture of merchants and landlords.
Identity, using land as the basis for avoiding risks, and investing more capital and energy into industrial and commercial industries.
After negotiating this important matter, the next things will be relatively simple, such as borrowing troops to solve the banditry problem that has been plaguing Yongping Prefecture.
The counties and prefectures under the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture were actually not aware of these bandits. However, in view of their lack of arresting power, the abolition of Lulong Guards greatly weakened the military strength of the non-Ji Town guard posts in Yongping Prefecture, so the military preparedness
The status of Tao also seems very embarrassing here.
Feng Ziying also communicated with the Bingbei Road in Lulong County before coming to Ji Town. They were also eager to use Feng Ziying's relationship to visit Ji Town in order to eliminate these bandits that had been troubled for a long time as soon as possible.
The branch patrol roads, branch guard roads, and military preparation roads of the northern Zhili prefectures are slightly different from those in other provinces. They are all directly named by the three ministers and counselors of the surrounding provinces, but they are not actually assigned by the official names.
It is under the jurisdiction of the three departments of the province, and directly under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Ministry of the Imperial Court and the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
For example, Yongping Prefecture's military preparation road was named after Shandong's envoy Si Qianshi.
Now Yongping Military Preparation Road has very few troops and is simply not qualified for the important task of suppressing bandits. However, although there are troops here in Jizhen, it is not the responsibility of the town guards to suppress bandits locally, so it requires both coordination and reporting to the police.
Report to the Ministry of War.
Of course, as long as Ji Zhen can make sense, all other issues will be simple.

"Ziying, nothing you said is a problem, but Brother Yu is a little helpless about the Japanese pirates in Changli. These Japanese pirates come and go without a trace. They all come through the sea, and Brother Yu can be sure that they are absolutely
There are internal agents in Changli and Laoting, and the power of these internal agents is not small. Look at the popularity of the Huimin Salt Farm after it has been embezzled by these people, and you will know how fat this piece of fat is. Even Changlu has been transferred.
The Salt Envoy Si Yamen can't do anything to them, hehe, the water here is too deep..."
You Shigong has a sense of schadenfreude in it. The Huimin Salt Field is the most important salt field in Yongping Prefecture, headed by the Director of the Changludu Salt Transfer Bureau and the Ludu Salt Transfer Station Office, but now it has been repeatedly plundered and burned by Japanese pirates, eventually leading to Yongping.
The salt transportation in Pingfu and even Liaodong was affected, and salt had to be transported from Hejian.
However, after the disintegration of the Huimin Salt Farm, it fell into the prey of the big households in Changli. These private salts even occupied the local market in Yongping for a time. This situation was undoubtedly unacceptable to the Changludu Salt Transfer Company.
Changludu Salt Transfer Department also repeatedly restored the Huimin Salt Field, but it was repeatedly destroyed and suffered heavy losses, so it had to give up in the end.
Reported to the court, but the Japanese pirates come from the sea, the local government is really unable to solve them. Yongping Prefecture and Changli County do not take the main responsibility for the plan. But it is too difficult for Yongping Prefecture to wipe out the pirates who come and go without a trace.
Even if You Shigong wanted to help, he was still helpless.
“Who is Changlu Xunyan’s censor now?” Feng Ziying frowned.
"I have just been dismissed, and now the court has not appointed anyone." You Shigong smiled, "It may not be without this factor, but it is hard to say what role the former Salt Patrol Censor played in it, and I don't believe that Dangdang is so
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the Salt Patrol Censor actually took advantage of the Huimin Saltworks, or there is something hidden in it, it’s hard to say.”
As soon as Feng Ziying heard You Shigong's words, she knew that there was probably something fishy going on here, and it was inevitable that there would be entanglements of interests and fights between factions in the court. In addition to the salt patrol censors of the Lianghuai River and Huaihe River, the other three salt patrol censors among the four salt patrol censors were all composed of
The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were formed through consultation, and then reported to the cabinet and the emperor for approval, which shows the special nature of these positions.
Because the Lianghuai Salt Patrol has always been the emperor's private land, the income has to go into the inner treasury. However, after Emperor Yonglong took office, this income was still under the control of the Supreme Emperor and had not yet been handed over to the emperor.
“Brother You, these Japanese pirates came from the sea. You said there is an internal agent in Changli, but where are these Japanese pirates hiding? I don’t believe they can come all the way from Japan. Doesn’t this meet the realistic conditions?”
Feng Ziying is also very puzzled. There are really not many cases of Japanese pirate attacks in the north, especially in Beizhili. Especially after the Renchen Japanese Rebellion, this kind of situation is even rarer. You said this kind of thing happened in the south of the Yangtze River.
The situation is reasonable, but Yongping Prefecture is still targeting the salt farm, which inevitably makes people suspicious.
"There are several possibilities, but none of them can escape one. The Japanese pirates must have a foothold in the surrounding area. This needs to be checked carefully, but I believe it is not too far away. Hundreds of Japanese pirates are hiding, and there are
Food and clothing expenses are not a simple matter. Someone must be covering it up for them. This matter depends on your ability as a colleague. Again, if you need my help, just tell me
But when it comes to matters at sea, there is nothing I can do for you."
Of course, Feng Ziying will not place all her hopes on You Shigong. This is not his responsibility in the first place. He just wants to obtain a certain degree of support from the other party.
Having solved the problem here, which can be regarded as making great progress, Feng Ziying quickly returned to Lulong.
The family members were coming, but it took nearly ten days to arrive. In addition, Baoxiang was asked to buy a new house in Lulong County here, close to the government office.
In fact, there is Tongzhigong's house in Fushu, but it is too small and too simple, so we can only stay there temporarily.
This is also the practice inherited from the Ming Dynasty, which is not to build yamen, but to maintain the status quo as long as it is acceptable.
Wu Yaoqing and the others are already busy. As Feng Ziying's main staff here, Tongzhi Gongsha is mainly used by him and Gu Dengfeng.
"Three sites have been selected. In addition, we have started to come up with several design drawings for the carboniferous coking. We have already contacted Qian'an County and Lulong, and the officials from the workshops in both counties have arrived.
I have checked on site, the land, mountains and forests have been purchased, and the title deeds have been filed with the government office. Everything is ready, all I owe is Dongfeng."
Gu Dengfeng, Zhuang Limin and two representatives from Shanxi merchants were sitting in the hall of the public house, sitting side by side. Feng Ziying was wearing a green uniform with a white pheasant on her body, sitting upright in the middle, and she seemed to have a bit of a common understanding.
"Mr. Zhuang, Dengfeng and Shaoquan, now that everything is ready, I have already made an agreement with the magistrate in the government office. I also made an agreement with Mr. You at Santun camp yesterday. The craftsmen will be here in the shortest possible time.
After sorting it out, as long as you can do it, you will definitely be able to deliver it on time, but how to operate it specifically requires a detailed strategy."
"Don't worry, sir. After the site selection here has been completed and we have reached an agreement with the counties on both sides, I have already arranged for people to notify the ship in Guangzhou to sail north. However, there is no decent dock here in Yongping Prefecture, so they will arrive at
Yangzhou goes north again through the canal, and then comes from Tongzhou, and it is estimated that it can be reached within a month."
Zhuang Limin is personally in charge and is optimistic about this matter. In his view, once a production base is established in Yongping Prefecture, it will not only be able to supply military supplies for the entire Northland and Jiubian, but also open up the markets of Japan and North Korea.
