Chapter 42 The Positioning of Bibo Valley

"Xiucai, you discussed with Zhu Bingkun and Zhou Li to come up with a piece of military discipline and reward and punishment regulations as soon as possible. In addition, identify the people who can do things in the valley, there will be more and more things in the future, and you can't be busy alone. Yingyi said.

Xiucai nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, I belong to the province." For three days at most, the subordinates will discuss with Zhou Qianhu and Zhu Qianhu, and take out a note to show the adults. There are more than 20,000 people in the valley, although there are names and surnames in Ye County, they have moved away on their own, but there are still many who are as bad as their subordinates, and it is not difficult to select some small officials. ”

Ying Yi looked at him, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and nodded: "Set up the shelf as soon as possible, and don't be too reluctant if the original officials in Ye County can use it." ”

Originally, a county government, in addition to a few officials such as the county order, there was also a group of small officials below. But the situation in Ye County is different. Under Zheng Yunzhi's subordinates, there are very few people who can use it. Those who had the conditions to run away basically ran away after Zheng Yunzhi decided to let go. Therefore, there are less than ten servants up and down. And these people were promoted by Zheng Yunzhi.

That's why Yingyi said this.

Without petty officials, those who are officials are blind and crippled. Petty officials are indispensable.

Sun Xiucai should say yes and say yes.

Ying Yi then said to Lian Biao: "Crescent Valley is very important, so I want a trustworthy person to guard it, and I chose you." Usually maintain stability in the valley, Zheng Xianzun's side, you just need to be optimistic, make sure not to leave the sight, and the others can't be harsh, you know?"

Although Lian Biao has not been with Ying for a long time, he has long been convinced. Now that Yingyi has seized power, although he is also a little guilty about Zheng Xianzun, he has a sense of excitement. Because he felt that following Yingyi was more expected and more in line with his own mind than following Zheng Xianzun.

Hearing this, Lian Biao slapped his chest with a bang: "Please rest assured!"

Although he only led a hundred households of soldiers and horses for the time being, Zhou Li had already made a thousand households. But he wasn't upset. First, he is not as brave as Zhou Li, and secondly, Crescent Valley is indeed very important to Yingyi. Leaving the matter of guarding the Crescent Valley to him is Yingyi's trust in him.

"It's important to be stable in the valley. Ying Yi earnestly advised: "The most important thing for me next is to train the soldiers, so here, I will leave it to the two of you to watch." If there is trouble, it will be dealt with strictly and severely, and the Crescent Valley cannot be allowed to cause chaos. ”

He also said: "There are few people in the Crescent Valley, and many people have nothing to do all day long. Then find a way to give them something to do. There is a salt mine on the side of Bibo Valley, Xiucai you know, then organize manpower to mine and make salt; although the mountains are barren, there may not be no treasures like salt mines, and organizing manpower to explore, search, can also digest a lot of idle labor. ”

The three of them talked as they walked, and Sun Xiucai listened to Yingyi's words, and many places in his heart suddenly brightened.

"The salt mines in Bibo Valley are huge, and it takes a lot of labor to mine and make salt," he said. In this case, it may be possible to focus on the development of Bibo Valley first. ”

Ying Yi bowed her head slightly and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I thought." Bibo Valley is not as good as Crescent Valley, there is only one valley, and the area is only more than ten acres. Growing food is not cost-effective. There are salt mines over there, and there are more than 200 craftsmen, and my idea is to build Bibo Valley into a workshop. The army needs weapons, armor, plough rakes, and other needs, all of which can be concentrated in Bibo Valley. ”

Sun Xiucai thought so, and said, "My lord is wise. But over there, I'm afraid I need someone I trust to watch. ”

Ying Yi nodded: "I plan to let Erniu and the fourth sister-in-law temporarily take charge of Bibo Valley's affairs, what do you think?"

Sun Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Erniu and the fourth sister-in-law are trustworthy, but their ability..."

Yingyi said: "So I need someone who has the ability to assist them." ”

Sun Xiucai thought for a while and said, "The subordinates will select the right person as soon as possible." ”

Ying Yi nodded with satisfaction: "The sooner the better." Three thousand soldiers and horses, empty-handed, and nothing. At the very least, a workshop for forging weapons and armor should be built in Bibo Valley as soon as possible. When I bring some iron from Yexian, I will first build a batch of spearheads and arm the army. ”

Now that there are a lot of things, Ying Yi only feels that a lot of things are messed up, and they need to be considered and sorted out. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, being in power seems to be beautiful, but it is indeed not an easy task. There are only more than 20,000 people here and 3,000 troops, which makes him feel a heavy feeling, if it is a huge Shenzhou, hundreds of millions of people are carrying it on their shoulders, what a huge burden it should be?

At the moment, there are plans in my heart. For the time being, as long as the stability of the Crescent Valley can be guaranteed, that is, to ensure that the people do not go hungry, this is the most important thing. Equally important is to arm the army.

As for everything else, you can put it aside for the time being.

"If you have the opportunity, my lord, you should transport all the materials stored in Ye County as much as possible. Sun Xiucai suggested: "Grain, iron, etc." The mountains are poor and white, and there is nothing. Everything has to be started from scratch. ”

Ying Yi thought so.

"I'll go to Bibo Valley later to finalize the workshop in advance. Yingyi finally said: "I'll leave it to you here." By the way, there is also that Wang Zhongguan, Lian Biao, you are so concerned about him. If anything, come to me immediately. I'm not here, so I'll look for Xiucai. ”

...

Taking advantage of the good weather, Yingyi left the Crescent Valley alone and went straight to Bibo Valley.

Today, there are more than 250 people in Bibo Valley. Except for the more than ten surviving people in Xiaowangzhuang, the others are all craftsmen. These artisans, their families, moved from the county seat to the Crescent Valley a long time ago. When Yingyi arrived in Bibo Valley, the craftsmen recommended an old artisan to ask Yingyi, only to say when he could go to Crescent Valley to reunite with his family.

They were very worried. It's been a day or two since they came to Bibo Valley, but they haven't heard from them, which makes them very uneasy.

The old craftsman named Pu Tiehammer was very prestigious among the craftsmen, and although he had gray hair and was not tall, his waist and arms were extremely thick, his hands were full of calluses, and his face was extremely honest. In the face of Yingyi, he looked hesitant and his posture was extremely low.

The status of the Ming craftsmen is very low. Especially at the end of the dynasty, most of the craftsmen were in a precarious situation. Because they have to rely on the 'order' of the imperial court to get by. But the weaker the imperial court, the fewer orders. And it is becoming more and more corrupt, and the officials are up and down. Even if there are orders and silver, it is difficult to guarantee even a few tenths of the money that falls into the hands of craftsmen after layers of exploitation.

And if you take over the work yourself, that is, to do the needs of the people, it is also difficult to do it in such a world. People can't even afford to eat, so what other needs can they have?

"My lord, the big guy has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know when he will be able to reunite with his family. ”
