"Oh? What's the matter, you Song Lao can't be the master? The Ordnance Institute has invented another big killing weapon, and Liu Hongji's mood is obviously much better.

"It is our spinning mill, and 300 new spinning machines in the spinning mill have been put into production, with a daily output of more than 20,000 catties of cotton yarn.

And our cotton yarn is not only high in yield but also stable, uniform thickness and high quality of cotton yarn, which has attracted the favor of many merchants in surrounding prefectures and counties.

They all want to take over the right to sell our cotton mill, among which Jiading Bo Zhoukui is the most active, he not only wants to contract our business, but also wants to buy our spinning machine......"

Although he knew that Liu Hongjian would definitely not agree, Song Yingxing still reported truthfully, after all, Zhou Kui was the national abbot, and ordinary people really couldn't afford to mess with him.

"Zhou Kui, the old horseman, the stingy Zhou Papi, the reincarnation of Grande, the grandfather of the strict prisoner, and the face to do business with Benhou?

Don't sell! If that old miscellaneous man dares to make things difficult, let him come to Ben Hou and see if Ben Hou doesn't kill him!

The cotton yarn business does not need to find anyone else, contact Gu Datong in Shanxi, and ask him to select a competent person to take charge of this matter. Liu Hong gradually made up his mind in a few words.

Cotton yarn is a hard currency, and good cotton yarn must not be sold, and this Earl Count spinning machine came out a full century earlier than the West, and Liu Hongjian did not plan to make it public for the time being.

There are not many businessmen who can be trusted, and they can scatter all their family assets in times of national crisis, Gu Datong is definitely one, since this is the case, if you have a good errand, of course you should choose your own people.

Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, I don't know how Gu Datong's coal business is doing!

"Oh yes, it's spring now, how are the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the greenhouse?" Liu Hong gradually asked.

In addition to the war, the promotion of these two crops is also related to the Daming community.

"My lord, the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes is the responsibility of the two sons under the door, and I heard that the two of them will be handed over to the stewards of the various imperial estates in the next few days." Song Yingxing said.

Although he also studied farming, he could not use it for the second time, and since entering the armory, most of his energy has been focused on munitions.

And his two sons, Song Shihui and Song Shiyi, are quite accomplished in farming.

Liu Hongjian was still a little worried, and rode a horse to the greenhouse to check, but saw that the sweet potato seedlings in the greenhouse were green and long, and finally put his mind at ease.

Rows of greenhouses are almost all over the corner of Xishan, so many greenhouses must need a lot of manpower, but the most important thing in these years is cheap labor.

The two brothers of Song Shihui only collected thousands of good hands from the nearby Huangzhuang for the treatment of packing food.

These crops are also what they will plant in the future, and the two Xiao Song just took the opportunity to train a lot of knowledgeable people, and these people will become the backbone of the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the future.

Sweet potatoes are not only edible fruits, but also sweet potato leaves can be used directly for vegetables, and seedlings can also be fed to livestock, which is simply a treasure.

Liu Hong gradually tossed for a long time, and his stomach was empty, so he directly asked the cook of the ordnance station to make a small stove.

The successful development of hand grenades is about to be mass-produced, so the output of rifles and paper shells is steadily provided, and the spinning mill is also about to start making profits.

A plate of green sweet potato leaves, a plate of fried meat, and a pot of soju, Liu Hongjian and Song Yingxing ate happily.

"Master, the people from the military department are looking for you." The cow came from outside the house while eating a large bowl with a large bowl of food.

"What are the people of the military department doing with Ben Hou? Why did you find everyone here? Liu Hong gradually took a sip of wine and said with a headache.

"Master, you are still the Governor of Xuanliao!" The bull mallet reminded.

"Go, go, let him wait!" Liu Hong gradually waved his hand.

After re-explaining the matters of the Ordnance Institute in the future, especially the promotion of new crops, Liu Hong gradually left the Ordnance Institute in a hurry.

When he arrived at the military department, Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department, had been waiting for a long time.

"Hou Ye, Wu Binghao and Lu Haibo, the staff generals of the 3,000 battalion, came from the border pass to offer prisoners, and now they have arrived outside the Anding Gate, this official does not dare to make a decision on his own, and wants to ask Hou Ye how to deal with these prisoners."

Since Liu Hong gradually became the superintendent and was fully responsible for the nine-border war, he, the secretary of the military department, has been idle, and has become the nanny of the border army like the household department, and all he has done is to transport supplies and ensure military supplies.

Whether it is in terms of authority or military power, the young man in front of him is above him Li Banghua, and judging from his actions in the past year, this young man really admires him.

Therefore, even if he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, Li Banghua will still consult Liu Hongjian for such important matters.

"It's fast! However, since these captives were brought over thousands of miles away, they naturally couldn't be beheaded directly.

Those imperial historians and officials, on weekdays, criticize Jianyu, and they all want to eat their flesh and sleep their skin, and now the opportunity has come.

Ben Hou will go to the emperor tomorrow to let this group of bird officials have a good time! Liu Hong gradually disagreed.

Li Banghua naturally knew what Liu Hongjian meant, in fact, he was also very jealous of these officials, he was very miserable by these officials a few years ago, and now the opportunity has finally come.

"My lord, there is one more thing, this is a detailed battle report submitted by Huang Degong, the governor of Xuanliao, about the battle against Jianyu, involving the promotion and reward of silver, military rank, knighthood, etc.

This official wants to listen to the opinion of the Hou Ye before checking with Gonggong Zhang of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. ”

Although it was for the benefit of the generals under his command, but unexpectedly, this benefit was so great that even if he was the secretary of the military department, he still felt frightened and unreal.

According to the detailed report, not counting the thief army that Liu Honggradually led people to annihilate in the rear of Jianyu, only the nine-sided front-line attack and defense, plus several field battles of the 3,000 battalions of the Beijing army and the Shenji battalion.

In one month, more than 94,000 enemies were annihilated, and according to the previously formulated regulations on rewarding silver for military merits, it was necessary to pay a reward of 9.4 million taels of silver.

On the entire line of the nine-sided Great Wall, more than 27,000 border soldiers were killed in battle, more than 6,000 were seriously injured and disabled, and those who were lightly injured were not counted.

The pension alone will amount to a terrifying fifteen,300,000 taels.

In addition to the military salaries to be paid, the total amount of silver taels to be paid to the border army and the Beijing army reached 26 million taels.

That is to say, the 120,000 veterans of the border army, plus the more than 50,000 Beijing troops who went to support, all counted, each soldier will receive an average of 200 taels of silver.

What is this concept?

The Ming Dynasty did not eat or drink for six years......

"Afraid of a ball! This rule was originally intended to encourage the morale of the border army, but now that the border army not only resisted Jianyu, but also killed so many Tartars, how could the imperial court lose its trust?

This rule will not only be followed, but will continue until the fall of the Empire.

The silver in the treasury was all from the Beijing officials and Jin merchants, and the emperor also agreed to this matter.

As for the title, it is enough to ask for the title of the lord, and the marquis will discuss this matter with the emperor.

What you and Lao Zhang, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, have to do is to ensure that these rewards and pensions are actually distributed to every soldier and family.

If anyone dares to be greedy for ink, no matter how much, they will be killed!

I want to see who dares to jump out to find fault, and when the soldiers agree, the sword of the Son of Heaven in Ben Hou's hand will not agree! Liu Hong gradually hardened.

The days of civilian officials riding on the heads of generals and soldiers to make a fortune are coming to an end.

As for the strong-mouthed kings and keyboard warriors in the court, Liu Hong will gradually shut them up tomorrow.
