Chapter 340(1/2)
Without finding out these "ground rats" behind the scenes, Li Chunlai really felt like he was "like a thorn in his throat" and he really couldn't vomit.
However, what Li Chunlai wanted was this effect.
Otherwise, how could Emperor Wanli owed him the favor of Mr. Li San?
And the equivalent force that Li Chunlai deliberately planned was immediately revealed.
After the Ministry of War was awarded, Emperor Wanli's personal eunuch Xiao Douzi quickly came over and talked to Li Chunlai about some secrets.
It soon made Li Chunlai feel good!
Emperor Wanli may feel guilty about Li Chunlai, and the hundred craftsmen who were about to go to Shenji Camp will completely become Li Chunlai's "fiscation".
In other words, they will no longer have to pay taxes to the court, and all their output will be supported by Li Chunlai.
If you go to Li Huan, this matter may not be impossible to achieve, and the effect is basically the same, but it is difficult to be so legitimate as it is now.
Li Chunlai couldn't help but feel secretly sad.
You said that Emperor Wanli is a foolish monarch, so it wouldn't be so.
But if he is a wise king... this is obviously unlikely, there is a huge gap.
In short, this is also in line with the normal state of things, and it has two sides.
...
With Xiaodouzi's guidance, Li Chunlai didn't have to bother with Li Huan and Xu Yunshan's old dog licking. After lunch, the group went straight to a camp in Xuannanfang, the south of the city.
This place is so big, all of which are property under the name of Shenjiying.
But when he arrived at the place and saw the scene in front of him clearly, Li Chunlai was a little confused for a moment.
Xiao Douzi was also stunned and subconsciously covered her nose, unwilling to enter the door.
See-
It looks like a grand camp from a distance, but it has completely turned into a "refugee camp" in the near future.
In addition to the majestic and majestic camp entrance, the specifications of the past are still retained. After walking a few steps in, all of them are shacks.
Sewage was everywhere, and the crowd was in ragged clothes. Although it was still early spring, many flies with extremely tenacious vitality were already flying around.
Where is this the capital?
Even the slums in Yiyuan are not as cowardly as this...
Xiaodouzi also felt that her face was greatly damaged, so she hurriedly called the head of the camp to inquire.
The chief officer is a Qian Zheng under the command of Shenji Camp. His surname is Wang, with a big beard all over his face. He is almost forty years old. At first glance, he is like an old man.
Mr. Wang Qian did not dare to be rude to Xiao Douzi, who represented Emperor Wanli, who came to support Li Chunlai, but he was also full of grievance and explained urgently:
"Brother-in-law, father-in-law, it's also unfair to have a humble position. Although these people are all craftsmen under the Shenji Camp, many of them are rotated. A few days ago, when the army went to Liaodong, everyone had work to do, but now..."
Mr. Wang Qian couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Father-in-law, you have to make the decision for the humble job. The humble job was also pushed to the top. Do you think the humble job is willing to face this kind of environment?"
"This, this..."
Xiao Douzi was young. Seeing that Mr. Wang Qian looked pitiful, although he could still hold on to the air, he had no opinion.
Li Chunlai also recovered a lot at this time and felt a little deeper.
Under the appearance that seems to be prosperous, the inside is already decaying...
This is definitely not something that can be said.
After a while, Li Chunlai looked at Mr. Wang Qian calmly and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, I wonder how many craftsmen are in the camp now?"
After all, Mr. Wang Qian reacted quickly and said with a hurried heart: "When I say this general, in the past, our camp only had eighty households such as blacksmiths, gunpowder, mud tiles, carpenters, etc., but now, nearly three hundred households have been stationed here, how can we accommodate it..."
"Three hundred households..."
Xiao Douzi looked at Li Chunlai quickly.
Li Chunlai also knew that as long as the jobs of the craftsmen in this camp were similar, the problem would be solved here today.
However, Li Chunlai still communicated with Xiaodouzi for a few words first and asked if Emperor Wanli asked Xiaodouzi to bring him here.
After hearing Xiao Douzi say a few words, Li Chunlai was relieved.
What kind of person is Emperor Wanli? It is no exaggeration to say that he is busy with all kinds of things. How could he focus his attention on such a small place with a large nostril?
Thinking about Li Chunlai was busy and did it happen: "Mr. Wang Qian, it's not that my brother doesn't want to help, but the emperor's side is only allowed to take a hundred households back, and your jobs are probably not complete..."
“It’s complete, absolutely complete!”
Mr. Wang Qian was as if he had grabbed the life-saving straw and said hurriedly: "General, the jobs here are all in full. Even if you need other jobs, you can change them to you immediately. I just want, I just want you to take a few more households..."
In the end, his voice was already very small, and he looked full of pleading for Li Chunlai.
"this……"
Li Chunlai looked at Xiaodouzi.
Mr. Wang Qian also came to his senses and hurriedly took out some silver from his arms. While stuffing it into Xiaodouzi's hand, he muttered to explain something to Xiaodouzi.
Although Mr. Wang Qian's voice was very small, Li Chunlai's keenness was beyond his imagination!
Listening to the sound and looking at his lips, Li Chunlai already understood his thoughts.
Although the Jingying has been decadent for a long time, there are still many assessments that should be held. Due to the Liao war, the assessment last year was retreated and was set to be a few days later.
As it looks like in front of this camp, Mr. Wang Qian wanted to pass the test, so he naturally suffered a lot of blood and had to beg his grandfather to sue him.
If Li Chunlai could take advantage of this opportunity to divert a large part of his staff, he would not only not suffer any more, but would have made a great contribution.
Moreover, your foundation will be greatly improved!
After all, it has been linked to Xiao Douzi, a close minister of the emperor.
"This matter, General Li, look, Mr. Wang Qian is not easy..."
Xiao Douzi was young and although she was very cautious, Mr. Wang Qian obviously promised him the benefits and analyzed the risks for him. His butt was already a little crooked.
"Eunuch Dou, it's not that Beizhi doesn't want to give you face, but that's because if you bring too many people, Beizhi is afraid, I'll add a lot of burden..."
Seeing Li Chunlai's appearance, Xiao Douzi also understood what Li Chunlai meant and smiled and said, "General Li, Mr. Wang Qian, is still sensible. If you can take a few more households away, he will give you fifteen big cars and thirty chicken buses."
"This, Eunuch Dou, you Rong Beizhi think about it for a moment..."
...
evening.
When the 210 families in this camp, a large team of nearly 1,6700 people, left the city from You'anmen and headed straight to the camp of Li Chunlai's troops outside Guangqu Gate, Li Chunlai was still a little dreamy.
It's really impossible to imagine in your dreams-
His most scarce human resources are human resources like Shenjiying Craftsmen, which are cheaper than Dacai...
However, after this restless excitement, Li Chunlai gradually recovered.
At this moment, the Ming Dynasty had reached such a situation, and many things were simply indescribable.
In order to fight against the Later Jin Dynasty, Emperor Wanli must have urgent requirements for logistics after increasing the salary.
This leads to the fact that the people below must be more anxious, one by one!
In the Ming Dynasty, craftsmen were extremely low-key professions. Not to mention those men, they were afraid that clerks and grassroots soldiers would not regard them as human beings.
In this way, their days can be imagined.
I'm afraid it's not as good as a "chamber pot".
It is no wonder that the wise men said: "The prosperity will bring suffering to the people. The death will bring suffering to the people."
Buddhism even calls this world a "sea of suffering".
I returned to Guangqumen Camp smoothly. Even in the afternoon, Li Chunlai had already made Hong Bin and Zhang Huang a little prepared, but with so many people coming from the Mu area, the camp was still in a hurry.
Not only can I keep up with the food, but I can’t keep up with the daily necessities such as tents and bedding.
How pitiful are these craftsmen?
Many people, teenage girls don’t have clothes to wear, they really wear pairs of pants for the whole family…
When sleeping, there is only thatch...
Fortunately, Li Chunlai was rich and powerful, and urgently purchased a lot of food and daily necessities from the restaurants in the surrounding villages. After a while of chaos, he finally stabilized the situation.
This also caused these craftsmen to be grateful and kowtowed to Li Chunlai with tears in their hands.
Some of them have been in service for several years, while others have only been a few months, but they can hardly withstand this intensity. Many people have not eaten such a good meal for more than a year.
After comforting these craftsmen, Li Chunlai was cool for a long time, but he still couldn't stop his head.
The end of the world.
Although I don’t want to admit it, there are really signs of the end of the world...
...
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and Li Chunlai has basically handled all the matters carefully.
To be continued...
