(Today's Mother's Day, I wish all mothers a happy and happy day.) ）

By mid-September, 1,000 Arabian horses were in place.

Such a fast action surprised Zheng Xunrui, and also made him understand the ability of the Ming Dynasty merchants, no wonder the merchants were able to directly intervene in the Donglin Party, and through the Guò Donglin Party to influence the policies of the imperial court.

The stable is still under construction, but after all the Arabian horses arrived, there were only two hundred left, and the rest were allocated to the eight hundred strong men.

The intensity of training increased dramatically, and riding and archery became the main training subjects.

What Zheng Xunrui didn't expect was that the 800 heroes of Hongjiabao took the initiative to buy oats and soybeans to feed Arabian horses, and he only needed to be responsible for the remaining 200 Arabian horses.

At this time, the matter of the nursing home was officially put on the agenda.

Because of the invasion of the Houjin Tartars, as well as the rebellion of the peasants in northern Shaanxi, the nursing homes of the northern gentry and wealthy households have been very common, and even some strong sergeants have joined the nursing home team, these scholars can naturally think of a way, this atmosphere soon affected the south, and the southern scholars also began to form a nursing home team, and at the end of the second year of Chongzhen, many scholars and doctors have formed a nursing home team.

Nursing homes cost money, and it is not possible to bear them without a certain capacity.

Of course, the number of nursing homes varies from more than a dozen to dozens and so on.

The purpose of other scholars is to really care for the hospital, but Zheng Xunrui is by no means this purpose.

Yang He, Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui and Hong Xinyu are in the reception room of Zheng Xunrui's bedroom.

"Today, I discussed with you the establishment of a nursing home team, more than half a year has passed, I have been thinking about this matter, the conditions were not allowed before, and now there is no problem, but there are still some hidden worries about the establishment of a nursing home."

"One is the problem that the scale is too large, the number of nurses is currently eight hundred and five, this scale, although it cannot be compared with some scholars, but the situation of the family is different, either they used to be officials in the imperial court, or the family is strong, but the current Zheng family does not have such a force, so we must be careful, fortunately, except for Yang He and Zheng Jinhong, the rest are tenants, even if someone tracks down, they can be perfunctory."

"The second is the problem of training, after all the war horses are matched, the future training, it is impossible to keep it particularly secret, the outside world will soon know, the Arabian horse is precious, that is, Nanjing Jingying can not be equipped, there is no chance to be low-key, within the scope of Guli Town, the problem is not very big, but the surrounding Jiangning Town, Dongshanqiao Town, Moling Town and other places, there will be a lot of discussions, so the future training, for the time being, can only be in Guli Town and Taowu Town two places, I think this situation will not have a long time."

"The third is the problem of household registration, the household registration of Hongjiabao tenants is temporarily in Xuzhou, in this regard, I will find a way to rush to the capital to participate in the examination, so that everyone can settle in Jiangning County." ……

Everyone listened very carefully.

After talking about the hidden worries, Zheng Xunrui began to talk about the most important place.

"The officers of the nursing home must be clear, so that it can be regarded as truly organized, but after all, the nursing home is not the army, those titles in the army are impossible, it doesn't matter if the bottom is irrelevant, and it is not okay to rise to the rank of captain, so it is really unclear if it encounters reports or impeachments from others."

"The nursing home team temporarily set up the head of the city, the deputy head of the team and the team leader, the deputy position of the team, the head of the team is concurrently held by me personally, Yang He and Zheng Jinhong serve as the deputy head, Yang He's main responsibility is to be responsible for training, Zheng Jinhong's main responsibility is to be responsible for logistics and other aspects, 800 people are divided into three brigades, of which two brigades are 300 people, one brigade is 200 people, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui and Hong Xinyu are respectively the team leader, of which Hong Xinyu led 200 people, including the duty of scouts."

"Since the nursing home has been established, it is necessary to really guard the courtyard, and send fifty people to form a team every day, stationed around the courtyard, each team is responsible for seven days, and it is carried out in turn, so that it is good to treat diplomacy, and the rest of the nursing homes are still training, and there can be no delay in the slightest."

"This year, we will continue to recruit 100 tenants, and each tenant will transfer two young men to join the nursing home team, so that the nursing home team will reach 1,000 people, and four brigades will be set up at that time."

"I don't want to say what the nursing home will do in the future, you all know that the specific actions of the next step will be decided by my situation in the capital." ……

In the hall, Zheng Fugui's face was full of sadness.

After seeing Zheng Xunrui come in, he couldn't wait to speak.

"Qing Yang, a thousand horses, the scale is too big, I didn't expect it, now that Guli Town is watching the Zheng family from all directions, will there be any problems if it goes on like this, if it affects your future, it will be terrible."

"Father, don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and I have already thought of a way to deal with it."

"What is the purpose of you forming such a large nursing home team, Jiangning Town, Tongjing Town and other places have nursing homes, but how can there be such a big investment in other people's nursing homes, there are no horses at all, the number of people reaches 100 people is considered to be very large, do you have other ideas, but let me know."

Zheng Xunrui sighed slightly, it is not okay not to say anything, and it is even more impossible to tell the truth.

"Father, the child knows a lot of things in the imperial court, these are Huaidou told me, Shaanxi and Shanxi, the peasant rebellion is very strong, maybe it will develop to Henan at any time, Nanzhili is close to Henan, here is relatively rich, if the rebellious peasants come here, without the protection of the courtyard, a fortune will no longer exist."

"The Houjin Tartars once invaded the Shandong area, and they also relied on Nanzhili, if their small group of men and horses came over, without the guards of the courtyard, their lives could not be saved."

As soon as Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Zheng Fugui spoke.

"What you said is not true, Shaanxi and Shanxi are far away from Nanzhili, if they can kill Nanzhili, will the imperial court ignore it, Jiangning County is Gyeonggi County, as for Houjin Tartar, it is even more impossible, if they can kill Nanzhili, Beizhili will not be able to keep it."

Zheng Xunrui was secretly surprised, it seemed that it was not easy to fool around.

"Father, the child's real thoughts, or self-defense, with the expansion of the maize and sweet potato seed business, the family's income will be more and more, and there will be more and more people who are red and coveted, this year's income is close to 200,000 taels of silver, and next year it will be doubled in size, and the income will be close to 400,000 taels of silver.

Zheng Fugui exhaled.

"You just said it earlier, such a worry is still true, this kind of business is bigger, people can also settle accounts, know how much the Zheng family's annual income is, there must be a lot of red-eyed people, fortunately, you are in your township to try high school, ordinary people dare not fight the Zheng family's idea, but there are some outlaws, it is still difficult to say, take out the silver, recruit more nursing homes, you can protect the wealth well, especially next year, after expanding the scale of planting, it must need protection."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, he knew that Zheng Fugui would not fully believe in this reason, to protect the wealth of the family, there is no need for so many nurseries, there are five hundred people in the sky, and there is no need to equip Arab horses, such a configuration, not to mention in Nanzhili, I am afraid that it is the first in Daming.

The Zheng family is nothing compared to those real rich people, looking at the salt merchants in Suzhou and Yangzhou and other places, it is really rich, and it is not too much to describe it as a rich country.

Leaving the hall, Zheng Xunrui walked straight outside, the celebration of the clan is over, the ancestors also worshipped, the family is finally quiet, there are sporadic people to visit every day, most of them are some people in the same year, greet each other, just stay for a meal, Zheng Xunrui doesn't want to make so many friends, the new imperial examination people, all he thinks of is to enter the court, and now he is dreaming about them, and he won't do useless work.

The nursing team was officially established, and the most lacking thing at present is weapons, including spears, bows and arrows, and long-handled eyebrow sharp knives, but unfortunately these things, Zheng Xunrui is not daring to buy them at present, if they buy them without authorization, they are impeached and reported by others, then it is really possible to rebel.

A lot of things can only be done slowly.

There is one thing that Zheng Xunrui has been thinking about hard, that is, accurate access to information, even in the records of historical materials in the previous life, it is impossible to be very detailed, for example, the peasant rebel army in Shaanxi, what are the specific actions every day, what exactly did the Houjin Tartars do after entering the customs, etc., the struggle between the Zhejiang Party, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party in the imperial court, the disasters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of life the farmers lived, etc., these are very important information, which is very important for his future development.

Relying only on Yang Tingshu, the way to obtain information is very limited, and it is also insufficient, but there is really no particularly good way at present, think about the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang using Jinyiwei to obtain intelligence, and later even the local general judgment, most of them are the identity of Jinyiwei, which should have cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, but unfortunately the situation is still unsatisfactory, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are often imprisoned in the imperial city, and it is difficult to know a lot of specific situations.

At this time, Zheng Xunrui suddenly felt that some things may need to be accelerated, and if they really develop step by step, they may lose a lot of opportunities, and when the big thing comes, they may be caught off guard.
