Yang Yinglong wanted to buy a hundred bird guns to go back to play, but Chen Mu used the excuse that Nanyangwei was too busy to sell them recently.

He was only given a handcuff with well-made lacquer carvings, and Nanyang made a gift.

Chen Mu didn't have much disgust for Yang Yinglong, just like Yang Yinglong himself said, his starting point was actually the same as the emperor, the entire Banzhou belonged to their father and son, and his pursuit of the clan's consistent high-pressure policy was simple and efficient in this era, which could not be called wrong.

But his cruelty and tyranny, he is used to and proud of all this, and he will not let Chen Mu like it.

He prefers the atmosphere of the Xiangshan Ordnance Bureau, where the craftsmen work easily and happily, and rely on better technology to achieve efficiency that cannot be achieved by terror and high pressure...... That's great, but he also understands that this isn't the norm in this era.

The status of the craftsman is still low, and his life is still like a mustard in other places.

Yang Yinglong lived in Nanyangwei for a few days, and embarked on the road back to Banzhou Xuanwei Division, which also left Chen Mu with the motivation to continue to move forward.

If this road is only to grasp the power, and the power is controlled by Chen Mu, it must be better for others than Yang Yinglong to grasp it.

Banshu Xuanwei Division has a net worth of 1.9 million people, and Nanyangwei will have the future of more than 20,000 people, well, just about to have.

In fact, Nanyangwei just shouted good, and the total number of the remaining members of the banner army was 5,200, but in fact it was still only the number of 1,000 households, because they had not yet recruited troops.

"Tell me, what do you all think?"

Summoned five thousand households to the front hall of the guard, the front hall of the Xiangshan thousand households that used to be very spacious in the past seemed crowded, only the front hall of the thousand households could sit, even if the deputy thousand households could only stand aside, one was that there was no place to put chairs in the front hall, and then Chen Mu had no chairs here.

There are only six handfuls, and they are all the family funds left by the old thousands of families who were hanged before.

The details of Commander Chen's territory are full of shabby soil turtles and rich turtles, and it is not surprising that Yang Yinglong, a little plague god born in the 700-year-old Emperor of Banzhou, thinks he is poor.

Deng Zilong, a thousand households in Xiangshan, is now leading Chen Mu's Xiangshan family, and only his banner army is full of the five institutes, and it doesn't matter to him, sitting there and not speaking. Huang Dexiang is the only foreign family in the five thousand households, although he does not have many flag troops in his hands, but he does not plan to be a bird, and honestly sits and pretends to be a quail.

"Don't speak? It's not for me to say, General, my subordinates are in a hurry in Tuen Mun, and they have to hook up the army! ”

Sun Ao, the former deputy Qianhu of Xiangshan, and now the Qianhu of Tuen Mun hugged his fists and said: "The newly established Tuen Mun Thousand Households Office, a total of more than 100 people, all of them are small flags, and there is no one in the serious flag army, and no one can even repair the Thousand Households. ”

Sun Ao came prepared, and said that he asked the deputy Qianhu behind him to get a letter and reported: "Tuen Mun, please transfer 180 taels of silver for backup, and allocate enough food for 5,000 people for a month, for the lowly recruitment of the flag army." ”

"You don't take money for recruiting soldiers?"

Chen Mu was surprised, not because Sun Ao wanted more, but because Sun Ao asked for less, less than 2,000 silver and no more than 2,000 stone in grain, which was far less than Chen Mu's psychological expectations for their recruitment.

"Don't mess around." Even if you save yourself money, it will not be like this to set the tone for this meeting, Chen Mu was a little dissatisfied with Sun Ao, and said: "You can ask for as much as you want, Chen is not stingy with money and food, you must have enough soldiers from thousands of households and train them well, there are no soldiers, what will you do to make contributions in the future!" ”

Not to mention Sun Aoduo's grievances, he knew that Chen Mu had misunderstood, so he hurriedly distinguished: "General Mingjian, the humble position is to have a draft of the army in Tuen Mun, so he dares to ask for so little." Tuen Mun belongs to Xin'an County, many times through the disturbance of the bandits, the most serious is the previous Zeng three old rebellion, the officials and the people have a blood enmity against the pirates, not to mention the village settlements were burned, the number of homeless people is countless, not to mention the general personally led the Xiangshan Banner Army to defeat the bandit fleet, but where Tuen Mun recruits, the people will gather with food. ”

"There are both generals and tigers, and the military gate is valued, Tuen Mun 50,000 acres of military land is clearly divided, there is no lack of Shangtian Zhongtian, now it is too late to catch up with the planting, but Xin'an County can also support a little food, fruit fishing, planting vegetables and raising ducks, through this year, you can cultivate the military field in the coming year, slowly hook the army after six months, and then try to train the army, then next winter, the flag army will be formed."

There is a set, Sun Ao's method of slowing down the recruitment of the flag army according to local conditions, and Chen Mu seems to be very feasible.

5,000 people eat a month's worth of food, and if 1,000 people eat, they can eat for five months, not to mention other non-staple foods, and slowly reduce their dependence on the guards, and they will be self-sufficient in a few months.

"Very good, it was Chen who misunderstood." Chen Mu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Tuen Mun can implement the method of slowing down the recruitment of the flag army, Chen is approved, if necessary, he will send someone to report to the Wei Ya, next winter, the flag army will be formed, remember what you said." ”

Sun Ao hugged his fists in response, and then Chen Mucai picked up Shao Tingda and asked, "Shao Qianhu's Shunde, how is it?" ”

"Money, grain, banners, officials and guards have allocated enough to Shunde, Shunde has no problem, there are more than 400 flag troops, and some people are released to recruit troops on the Tanjiang River, and when they come back, they can recruit the flag army, and the military field is not much and can be used more than 30,000 acres, and the military surplus has been planting, like Xiangshan, the weaving bureau has also been built, but it is only that dozens of old flag troops will be sand in the future, and they will be expelled to legislate and establish authority, just right."

Shunde took the most money and food, Chen Mu really didn't have anything to worry about, and it was not surprising to recruit Tan people to Bai Yuanjie's subordinates who were born far away, nodding and counting the past, Chen Mu asked Huang Dexiang and said: "Huang Qianhu, the new club has raised the flag army, and there should be a lot of remaining problems, let's talk about it." ”

Having a commander who takes state affairs as a family affair made Huang Dexiang feel pressure-the entire Nanyang Wei is full of vitality, from the commander to the thousands of households, especially Chen Mu's heart that all points to meritorious service makes him a little unacceptable to the orthodox guard.

is young, and he has already achieved the command of the third rank before he is twenty-five, General Zhaoyong, what else do you want? This official position is changed to a mature and old commander, and he can increase the number of general officers in battle, even if he is so young, he can get a deputy chief soldier, where do you want to be promoted?

What's the use of recruiting a banner army that spends so much money? It's not the private soldiers of Commander Chen, there are three or four hundred banner troops in farming, and their remnants are still not good at cultivating the land? Huang Dexiang thought for a while, and arched his hand: "General, it's okay to hook the army, but it's not necessary, right?" ”

Chen Mu nodded, Huang Dexiang's identity, he could understand when he said such a thing, waved his hand slightly and motioned Huang Dexiang to wait first, and said to the last Qianhu Shiqi, "Shi Qianhu has a lot of plans, Xinning should be no problem, right?" ”

Shi Qi belongs to the kind of resourceful subordinate by his side, not to mention that he is still a scholar, so he is relied on, Chen Mu is the least worried about him, where do you know that as soon as Chen Mu asked, Shi Qi's face was extremely bitter.

"General, it is not a problem to hook the army, money and food, farming and even weaving silk, and Wei Ya can allocate some to pass."

Shi Qi spread out his hands and stumbled on the table, and said: "The Guanghai Acropolis that has been opened, if we don't repair it, if we repair it, the stones, labor, money and grain, and the construction period are all problems!" ”
