Chapter 298: The Solution
Regarding the chaos caused by conscription in the Beijing Division, Yang Chendong naturally knew the news a long time ago. He thought it was just a shot at his own foot.
Shi Heng's idea is right, with the strong man of the Jingshi, with his family, he can naturally greatly guarantee their loyalty. It is precisely because of this that Daizong Zhu Qiyu allowed it. But they really don't want to think about it, there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this, don't they know that the twisted melon is not sweet? Will such a forcible separation of families provoke a backlash of anger?
Besides, with the Ming Dynasty's style of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, how much can the salaries of officers and soldiers have? The strong men have all joined the army, have you considered how the women in their families will live?
If a woman has no livelihood and is hungry because of this, how can she serve the Lord with all her heart? How can a mess not be born?
This is clearly Shi Heng's short-sightedness, and he will eventually pay the price. But before they could do it, those women actually sold themselves as slaves and maids, and they didn't expect that a few ladies would suddenly make a move, and they bought 800 people in just one day. Although this is one of the 50,000 strong men to be caught, if his test is good, I am afraid that this is the beginning, far from the end.
I hated Shi Heng's far-sighted approach in my heart. Instead of thinking about ways to improve the loyalty of these soldiers, it is better to think about how to improve the treatment of these officers and soldiers.
Speaking of which, this also has a lot to do with what Yang Chendong did. If he hadn't changed history and saved Yingzong Zhu Qizhen on the battlefield, the Ming Dynasty would not have been split in two, and those military families didn't want to do it, and they didn't know where to flee. It's good now, Yingzong's Daizong has two places to choose from, but it gives these military families one more choice.
News has already come from the Security Bureau that many of the northern military families who were originally recorded have gone to the south because of unfair treatment and defected to the land of Yingzong. There they can be renaturalized and re-naturalized, they can be acquitted, and their treatment has been improved, so naturally Shi Heng has a sense of having no soldiers to recruit, so he has to fight these strong men in Jingshi.
It has been recorded in history that the permanent army of the Ming Dynasty was more than 1.5 million, and it reached more than 2.2 million at its peak. It can be seen that the military household system is still very perfect, which also makes the Ming Dynasty not worry too much about the military source. But now, under one country and two emperors, military households can run at any time without any punishment, so that the situation has all kinds of accidents.
This kind of accident finally affected Yang Chendong, who took action to change everything, and when he looked at the eight hundred women who could be seen everywhere in the manor, it was impossible to say that he didn't have a headache at all.
Of course, if these women appeared in Chiji City, they would have no problem in settling them in the slightest. Whether it is a garment factory, a paper mill or a glass factory, etc., it can be arranged calmly. And these people are simply not enough. But now it is placed in the Jingshi and in Yangjiazhuang, and the number of people is really too much.
Hu Yan and the others are doing good deeds, and Yang Chendong can't refuse. How to say that these are also Han people, but there are not a few ladies who make a move, I am afraid that Yang Chendong will not see death without help. Now the question arises, how to place them?
Eight hundred mouths, this is only the first day, I am afraid that this number may double tomorrow, and what level it will eventually reach, Yang Chendong himself does not dare to think about it. If these people rely on themselves, even if they have a lot of money, they will eventually feel struggling. Of course, the most important thing is not to raise idlers and not to develop the habit of being lazy for others, which is the most important reason.
Yang Chendong stood there and thought for a while, Hu Yan looked at her husband's expression as if she was a little uncertain, and asked in a low voice, "Liulang, did I do something wrong?" It doesn't matter, I can save my own money..."
"It's not." The corners of Yang Chendong's mouth drew a long arc, and he said with a smile: "How could Yan'er be wrong?" This is originally an act of kindness, I am just thinking about how to place them and give them a way out. ”
Hearing that Yang Chendong didn't mean to be angry, Hu Yan's expression immediately became much brighter, "Yes, this is a good deed." Rokuro doesn't know, if these women are sold to someone else's house, I'm afraid they don't know how much hardship they will have to suffer, as long as they come to us, they won't be bullied. Also, Rokuro is the most powerful, and he will definitely think of a good way to solve this problem. ”
"Yes, Rokuro will have a way." Yang Chendong agreed with a smile. It's just that the next night, he had a headache.
In the first half of the night, he "cleaned up" Hu Yan, Qiaoyin, and Snow Lady. Perhaps they thought it was a mistake to buy 800 women without asking for instructions, and they worked extra hard that night. But in front of Yang Chendong, he was still invincible and defeated.
In the second half of the night, Yang Chendong returned to the study and sat until dawn. That is, his body has always been very good, especially after he came to this world again, he feels very energetic, and sometimes he wonders if his body has been transformed to a certain extent, even if he doesn't sleep all night, he still does what he should do the next day, and he doesn't feel too tired.
In the middle of the night, Yang Chendong finally thought of a few countermeasures.
First, self-reliance.
Give these women a certain amount of money to do what they like, but they need to pay back a certain amount of money every month. This is the art of teaching people and fishing.
Second, hire them.
Let them become the people of Yangjiazhuang. Then let them do things for themselves, arranging what they can do according to each person's strengths. After that, they would be given money every month. As for what can be done, for example, the Immortal Residence can be expanded. In the entire Jingshi, two can be opened in different locations, after all, there is only one immortal residence, and it is inconvenient for people who are too far away to come to have a meal. Once the time is right, they can also arrange for them to open branches in other cities, which requires a lot of manpower, especially for women.
In addition, such as Yangjia Bank and Tianwaitian Commercial and Trade Bank also need a lot of cleaning, and some people can also be arranged.
Three, transfer them to the Red Embedded City.
As I said before, Chichicheng can be described as a day, and because of this, the rapid development leads to a shortage of manpower, and the addition of these women will greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient personnel.
Fourth, pick some people to be your own students.
Choose some young and smart ones to study in Yangjia Academy. As the Yang family system grows bigger and bigger, there will naturally be more and more professionals needed, and while he is still free now, he can teach more students, even if he doesn't have time, he can also let students teach them. If it is done, these people will be loyal and available, and they will be a great help to themselves in the future.
Under the four methods, it is not a problem to solve the livelihood of thousands of women. The difference is just that it depends on what choice they make.
After having these four methods, at breakfast the next day, Yang Chendong said his thoughts. The only difference is that the third method is to arrange for them to work in other places, and that they are going to develop their business to the south, and those women will also be sent to the south.
For Yang Chendong, Hu Yan and her daughters have always had unreserved trust. Facts have also proved that whenever he does things, he has not missed a single time. Now that I heard that there was a solution to the problem, I naturally agreed without too much thought. Then he began to chatter about going to the city to rescue more women after eating for a while.
In the city of Jingshi.
Because the conscription was in a uproar, tens of thousands of strong men were arrested, and the direct consequence was that more women sold themselves. Some of them really don't know how to live without men, which is naturally the inertia formed under the inferiority of men and women. Women are in charge of household chores, and suddenly there is no man and she doesn't know what to do, and even basic scheming problems are very difficult.
There are also those who originally had some ability, and the men in the family were not caught. They sacrificed themselves and sold them for a few years or even longer, just to sell some silver taels to prepare enough for their husbands to leave the capital.
But whatever the reason. The streets are lined with women who sell themselves. This scene made the ministers who participated in the early dynasty see a real thing.
The soft-hearted sigh for it; The hardened turn a blind eye; There are still some righteous people who are thinking about how to express their opinions on this matter in the early court, and see if they can persuade the emperor not to recruit troops in Beijing.
But regardless of the idea? There are indeed few courtiers who really solve the matter. First, their conditions are limited, even if they want to help, they can't help too many people; Second, no one wants to be this early bird. Those many colleagues and ministers did not help, you made the first move, showing what you can do, doing so is most likely to cause others to be annoyed, and even being isolated and excluded is also very likely.
And the more no one helps, the more different Hu Yan's actions become. Yesterday, when the women wanted to save a few more people, they also made some selections, such as those with good looks, those who are younger, and those who are healthy. But today it's just a big piece. For example, all the people on this street were collected, and there were hundreds of them at once, and they didn't blink more than their eyes on Hu Yan and others.
Above the court, in the Jinluan Palace, as Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon throne that highlighted the dignity of the Ninety-Five, the day's court discussion began.
The first report was naturally the governor, who was also the Marquis of Wuqing, Shi Heng. He first explained to the emperor some recent situations in the recruitment of troops, saying that everything was going well.
The next thing that stood up was Shang Shuyi Ming of the Ministry of War, indicating that the new recruits had been registered, and there were some good seedlings, good health, young and strong soldiers, and so on. He also said that if everything goes well, it will take a year to take shape in a year, and it will be used by the emperor in three months.
