Chapter 16: Delicacies

When I woke up again, it didn't seem to be any different except for the cold wind blowing at night and catching a little cold.

Taking advantage of the wine to say too many words, Chen Mu sat on the edge of the couch and thought for a long time, and finally remembered that Li Dan said that Fanyi set up a cannon factory in Macau, and this cannon factory is not difficult to remind people of a name - Hongyi Cannon.

However, for the time being, Chen Mu is not able to think about the affairs of Haojing Ao, he has more important things to do.

Training.

Bai Yuanjie once said that Tanmin is the best water army, and Chen Mu thought so.

After personally consulting with the Tan people, Chen Mu decided not to provide shelter for the Tan people for the time being, so that they could still live on the boat according to the old tradition of the past for a short time, and hand over the area around the Modaomen Waterway to them for fishing, but they also had to bear the corresponding obligations.

In addition to one banner army in each household, there must be another surplus ding to cultivate and farm on the shore, so that the others can have the right to fish on the water.

There is no possibility that the Tan people will not agree, because this is not an era of reasoning at all.

Chen Mu did not treat his soldiers badly, he spread out his idea and told the elders of the Tan people, when the yellow sorghum thieves were removed, they could hand over the coastline to them to raise mussels and fish, and the proceeds were collected into handicrafts, such as fish gelatin and pearls, which were purchased at a low price by the Wei Institute; Half of the fish and meat were handed over to the guard to feed the flag army.

Chen Mu, the mission of training the flag army, is still in charge of the queue, but since Deng Zilong and Sun Ao returned, they have been able to share some of the pressure for him, so even if there are nearly six hundred more flag troops, the training has actually decreased.

One day, the monk taught spears and spears, Long Junxiong served as the head of swordsmanship, Shi Qi taught all birds and flags to practice firearms, and Deng Zilong practiced queue orders, and the daily drills of the guard were no longer a problem.

In the daily operation of the health center, Fu Yuan also led troops to patrol the jurisdiction, and set up cards to prohibit smuggling; In addition to participating in daily drills, Sun Ao, the deputy Qianhu, is also responsible for logistics such as the warehouse. Xiao Hachilang is with Sun Ao, nothing else, just be a little eye.

Deng Zilong is temporarily in charge of a hundred households, which is a soldier for Shao Tingda who went to Yuegang, and he plans to let Shao Tingda follow Deng Zilong's subordinates in the future.

Chen Junye is also in charge of logistics.

"Why are you here?"

Qi Zhengyan smiled and walked into the front hall from outside the yamen, Chen Mu sent him to drive a fast boat to take Yu Ding's fishing boat to patrol the river, and the protection that is better than nothing is secondary, mainly to let the new flag army get familiar with the fast boat first, and then go to get familiar with the lucky boat later.

Although he didn't plan to start a naval battle with Fanyi Shangjia in terms of plan, he couldn't defend the one-third of an acre of Haojing Ao, and he wouldn't be able to fight by boat.

Since the navy will have to be trained sooner or later, it is better to familiarize the flag army with their own warships and the weapons on them now.

"Hey, Chiho." Qi Zhengyan walked to Chen Mu's side with a hippie smile, glanced outside the yamen, and whispered, "The shopkeeper Xiao Yan is here." ”

Xiao Yan's shopkeeper, needless to say, must be Yan Qingyao's little girl, but Chen Mu didn't come to her, "What is she doing?" Don't you want to see the store? ”

"Didn't you say that you want to buy a batch of pigs, sheep and chickens for the rest of the army to raise, the small one doesn't know anyone in Guangcheng, so he just asked the drum belly building to do it for him, this is not today, the shopkeeper of Xiaoyan brought someone to send some pigs and sheep."

Qi Zhengyan said: "I happened to meet in Hebo, so let them get on the fishing boat and send it, we have many boats, and we can take the waterway quickly." ”

In the suburbs of the southwest corner of Guangcheng, where Hebo is located, it is a small organization that collects fish taxes, and their chief official is at the same level as Zhu Xiang, the ambassador of the treasury, but because Zhu Xiang is directly under the political secretary, he is the subordinate unit of the ambassador of the library.

Yan Qingyao!

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, put down his pen and got up and walked out, and said, "I know, you go back and take the boat to patrol the river." Remember my entrustment, don't rely on the large number of soldiers to conflict with the people of the inspection department, if there is anything to help, you can help, and you can do it. ”

"Hey! You know, the little one went! ”

The inspection department is not easy, there are few people and more things, it belongs to the county government, and it is similar to the police station in later generations, mainly responsible for chasing thieves and catching thieves. The big thief can't be caught, the little thief can't be caught, there are no soldiers and no ships, and the status is embarrassing.

"Hey, hey, slow down, it's not easy for the slave family to drive these beasts over, don't strangle them, grab your wings and don't pinch your neck!"

As soon as I walked out of the yamen of the thousand households, the whole thousand households were like a big corral, and the smell of pigs and sheep was everywhere, and the feces alone had to be cleaned up. Yan Qingyao didn't have any pretentious pretentiousness, she stood aside cleanly, jumping and asking the military household to take good care of the livestock she brought.

A few military households just left with chickens, and Yan Qingyao was still shouting behind: "A few military masters have nothing to do, don't forget to go to the Gubelly Building to buy wine!" ”

"Thousands of households are forbidden to drink alcohol in military households!"

Chen Mu stood behind Yan Qingyao, and the military households hurriedly drove the livestock away, and the movements of those who did not leave were much faster.

In fact, the Qianhu Institute is not completely forbidden to drink, in the decree compiled by Chen Mu, only the flag army is allowed to drink alcohol during the ten-year turn, and others will be punished for drinking.

He just wanted to tease the little girl.

"Ahh

Yan Qingyao was taken aback by Chen Mu, who suddenly appeared behind him, jumped up and took two steps back, and saw that it was Chen Mu, so he saluted angrily, and said crisply: "How is Master Chen elusive." ”

God, you big-headed ghost!

"How many pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks are there?" Chen Mu took a cursory look, but still hadn't counted the number, some livestock had already been taken away by the military remnants, "What a guy in your store, no matter how bad you are, send twenty catties of cooked beef over every day." ”

Yan Qingyao changed his outfit today, but he was still dressed as a tomboy, but he was already a shopkeeper and not a small guy, he raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, took out the account book on his waist and tore off the charcoal towel and said while remembering: "Send it every day?" Twenty catties of cooked beef, half a cent a day, twelve taels or six dollars a month, don't order wine? ”

"The small shop specializes in selling alcohol, Master Jun, you let the slave family buy livestock all day long......"

Chen Mu pursed his eyes and said, "Don't do it?" ”

"Okay, okay, you are a thousand households, you are sure that you have the final say, don't sell wine, don't sell wine." Yan Qingyao flipped through the account book and counted for Chen Mu and said: "There are ten geese for two dollars, all of which are male; There are 100 large chickens in five points, each with a male and female; 100 ducks in three points, each with a male and female; Eight taels of buffalo, two taels of fat pigs, and two taels of lambs each have ten, all of which have males and females; There is also a porter who drives livestock, and the foot money is three taels, which is worth one hundred and thirty-three...... That's right! ”

Yan Qingyao said and pointed to the distance and said, "The willow charcoal you want is still on the boat, one thousand catties and eight taels and five cents, and the foot money is five cents, which is a few hundred and forty-two taels?" ”

Counting and counting, the little girl scratched her cheeks that were white and red after sweating, raised her head and said, "Give one month of beef, one hundred and fifty taels." ”

Chen Mu nodded, to be honest, this little girl was really taught by Ya Po, and the calculation speed of holding the account book was about the same as his mental arithmetic, and said with a smile: "Let Mr. Xie give you a piece of silver and send troops to send it." It's all here, let's have dinner at the yamen and then leave. ”

"You're a thousand-year-old, you must have something to eat."

Yan Qingyao happily entered the yamen of a thousand households, but saw Chen Mu sitting on the side of the plan in the side hall, spread his hands and said, "Who do you expect to cook?" I don't know how to cook, shopkeeper Yan, let the military master taste your craftsmanship. ”

Yan Qingyao patted the handrail with his little hand, stood up and walked back two steps, turned his head and said, "Can the slave family go?" ”

Chen Mu shook his head.

"Where's the kitchen?"

Chen Mu laughed: "Go out and walk fifty-five steps to the west, please!" ”

The prices are from the "Wanli Hui Records" and "Wanzhi Miscellaneous Records", but most of them are prices in the Wanli period, which may be a little inaccurate.
