The arrival of Su Su and Xiao Cui was like throwing huge rocks into the pond of the Hou Mansion, causing waves. Everyone was very curious about their origins, and when everyone learned that they were from Fanlou, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Feng Niang was a little annoyed and asked Wu Zhi repeatedly what was going on. But Jin Lian looked at the tall and cool Liu Susu, and felt a little disgusted and jealous, looking at Liu Susu as an eyesore.
After Wu Zhi explained the situation to everyone, everyone's doubts were eliminated and they were quite sympathetic to Liu Susu's life experience. Feng Niang felt pity and pulled Su Su to ask for help. Jin Lian also gave up her jealousy and regarded Su Su as a sister.
Treating Liu Susu is also very observant, and she has been avenged. Her mood has also changed. She is no longer as cold and arrogant as before. Her laughter warms people's hearts. She quickly integrated into the Hou family and became familiar with everyone. Xiaocui is well-behaved and has a sweet mouth.
She is also sweet, and she quickly gained the favor of everyone, and got along well with all the maids.
Under the influence of Wu Zhi, the free, equal and casual life in Hou Mansion made Susu and Xiaocui feel very novel. They quickly found the feeling of home and felt the warmth and comfort of home. Moreover, Hou Mansion was clean and convenient
The new toilet, convenient and unique new shower room and washroom bring more shocking feelings and surprises to the two of them.
Wu Zhi was very happy to see that everyone could live in harmony, and he was also gratified by Jin Lian's generosity.
So, seven days after Liu Susu and Xiaocui arrived at the Hou Mansion, while everyone was having dinner, Wu Zhi announced four happy events in front of everyone. The first was to announce that Jin Lian would be his legal wife and that he would
Marry her next year; second, announce that Liu Susu and Li Tianjiao are also his women, and hope everyone will treat them kindly; third, announce that they will increase everyone's salary and appoint Dahu as the general manager of the Hou Mansion, with a monthly salary of thirty-six guan; appoint
Erhu is the second manager, with a monthly salary of 33 guan. Suo Yanqing and Li Wanchun are appointed as the head and deputy heads of the Hou Mansion Nursing Home, with monthly salaries of 30 guan and 28 guan respectively; Liu Yue takes care of Jin Lian
, the monthly salary is raised to the same 26 guan as the Feng family; Yang assists the Feng family with a monthly salary of 22 guan; Liang assists Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, with a monthly salary of 22 guan; Suo Chao and Li Zhenguo
, Si Fangguo is now an official of the imperial court. With his salary from the imperial court, he only gives each person a monthly subsidy of ten guan; Chun Mei, Chun Yu, Xia He, Xia Tong, Qiu Ju, Qiu Xiang, Dong Xue, Lilac and Xiao.
Cui's monthly salary is ten guan each; as for the daily expenses of Jinlian, Xiao'e, Liu Susu and Li Tianjiao, starting from the average daily qian, Fengniang will arrange the expenses, use more and get more, use less and get less; fourthly, it is announced that from now on
Starting today, everyone in the Hou Mansion who has outstanding work performance will receive bonuses every quarter.
Once the four things were announced, everyone was very happy.
Wu Xiu and Feng Niang were happy that Wu Zhi finally had the idea of starting a family, and the Wu family was expected to flourish.
Xiao'e is happy to finally have a sister-in-law.
Jin Lian, Li Tianjiao and Su Su were both happy and shy.
Since Jin Lian came to the capital with Wu Xiu and Feng Niang, she has regarded herself as Wu Zhi's wife. However, although Wu Zhi treated her with respect, he never promised her an engagement, let alone when he would marry her.
, she still felt that she was not confident enough. After getting Wu Zhi's promise today, she felt that her hardships had finally come to an end.
Since Li Tianjiao was brought back to Weishi County from Langzhong by Wu Zhi and followed everyone to the capital, Li Tianjiao has been both grateful and admired for Wu Zhi. The more than a year of getting along day and night has made her secretly cherish her heart, and her heart is still tied to him.
Everyone in the house knew that Wu Zhi had been killed. However, due to her status, she and everyone else did not dare to mention it, so they could only silently bury their feelings deep in their hearts. Now that they heard Wu Zhi's confession in person,
She was surprised and happy. Her family was also really happy for her.
Although Liu Susu had already fallen in love with Wu Zhi and was living well in the Hou family, she was still a little entangled and trembling about her identity. Now that she heard Wu Zhi's personal promise, she regarded her as a member of the Hou family.
As one of the hostesses, she was both happy and moved. She never expected to become a real wife. As long as she could become Wu Zhi's woman, she would be satisfied.
Suo Chao's family and Li Zhenguo's family are happy that they have finally been recognized by Wu Zhi and have truly become members of the Hou family.
Chunmei, Chunyu, Xiahe, Xiatong, Qiuju, Qiuxiang, Dongxue, Dingxiang and Xiaocui are happy that they have really met a good master, and the Marquis can treat them as his own.
Dahu, Erhu, Fengshi and Liuyue were happy about the improvement in their treatment and the attention that the Marquis paid to them.
Although Zhou Tong did not receive a salary increase from the Hou Mansion, Wu Zhi and the Hou Mansion already treated him as a relative, and he was happy to see it in their eyes.
Wu Zhi saw everyone smiling, and he was also happy in his heart. The reason why he wanted to announce these four things was to consider the overall situation, and he wanted to give it a go. It would not work without a united and harmonious rear! In order to reduce the amount of friction among everyone in the mansion
Because of mutual suspicion, he must take precautions and eliminate the factors of disunity and instability in advance, so that the Hou family can be twisted into a rope and work in one place.
After removing these stumbling blocks such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan, it will be easier for him to do things in the future. Wu Zhi still has a bigger opponent, which is to fight against the Queen Mother, King Duan, the Liao Kingdom and Wanyan Agu who will rise in the future.
, the Jin Kingdom established by the latter was a major concern for the Song Dynasty. Wu Zhi's current power is not enough, he must continue to work hard to increase the trump cards available in his hand and strengthen his own strength.
After Cai Jing was arrested and imprisoned, Qian Mancang and others also returned to the capital from Weishi County, bringing not only thousands of kilograms of low-alcohol liquor brewed by Guihua New Winery, but also good news, "Pan Wu Ji"
"After more than a year of operation, the water transport company has now achieved profitability. It is responsible for its own profits and losses and still makes a profit. Wu Zhi no longer needs blood transfusions to provide financial support. Wu Zhi was very happy to hear this.
The Wanda Football Club founded by Wu Zhi became more and more famous thanks to the vigorous publicity of the "Qiushi Weekly" of Rushi Picture and Text Society, attracting many businessmen and Cuju fans to visit the Qiuju Club and held it at the Wanda Football Stadium.
With many friendly matches, new football has become popular all over the country. New football fields have been built in many prosperous places, new football clubs have been established, and new football teams have been formed. New football is in full swing.
...
In turn, the new football sport has also boosted the subscription volume of "Qiushi Weekly". The distribution of "Qiushi Weekly" is getting better and better. As a result, the performance of the picture and text agency has also continued to rise, and finally achieved break-even and started to make a profit.
!Gu Lin was ecstatic, and Wu Zhi was especially happy.
After the Spring Festival, the Chinese Army began to engage in intense training.
In the first few days, Wu Zhi delegated all the affairs of the Dianqian Division to Liu Quan. He visited the site every day to inspect the training situation, watching the soldiers training class by class, and sometimes even went out to correct some soldiers who were not practicing well. The action was in place. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhi saw Lu Qian in the third division. He was serving as the company commander in a company and was considered a member of the Chinese New Army.
When the soldiers saw Wu Zhi, the supreme commander, coming to the training site in person, without any official airs, and very approachable and easy-going, they all felt more cordial, became more enthusiastic, and trained even harder.
Ten days later, Wu Zhi saw that the training work was on the right track, so he stepped away and let his generals manage and train with confidence. Especially the first and second divisions, under the leadership of Lin Chong and Wang Jin , Sun Qi and Li Tingliang devoted themselves to training, and the training results were even more gratifying. The first, second, and third regiments of the first division led by Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, and Si Fangguo trained particularly hard, and the results were even more significant. Zhou Tong is a hero who has a place to show his talents, and he is particularly dedicated to teaching fighting and grappling skills.
Wu Zhi returned to the Dianqian Division, checked the affairs of the Dianqian Division, and found that there were no mistakes, and praised Liu Quan. Then he went to the Surveying Department and asked about the surveying department's pilot survey and clearing of fields in Kaifeng Prefecture recently after the Spring Festival. After reviewing the progress, I found that the progress was good, and I felt relieved.
The training work of the new army is carried out in an orderly manner, and the pilot work of Kaifeng Prefecture is also carried out step by step.
After more than half a month, the training of the new army has achieved very good results. The mental outlook of all officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army has taken on a new look. Moreover, every soldier has received full military pay for the second time, and everyone is smiling.
Shortly after the Spring Festival, Wu Juhou personally led the team, led the officials of the Surveying Department and the supervisory troops, and went down to the sixteen counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture to begin the work of field measurement and settlement of land taxes. Wu Zhi sent A total of 16,000 people from the Forbidden Army followed and assisted the officials of the Surveying Department in the surveying work. Each county sent a thousand people. Wu Zhi selected veterans who were over forty years old. They were not good at fighting, at least against ordinary people. Question. Before leaving,
Wu Zhi informed all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard about the discipline: handle matters fairly and do not engage in malpractice for personal gain. If there is any violation, military law will be followed and no mercy will be given lightly!
It is a good thing for the common people to divide their land into acres, and the people who have no land or little land responded positively. At the beginning, the measurement and liquidation work went smoothly, but when the measurement and liquidation reached the big landowners and the official and gentry families, problems began to appear. Resistance, various obstructions, threats, and resistances emerged one after another. As a last resort, Wu Zhi attacked decisively and ordered the Imperial Guards and soldiers to severely crack down on a group of officials and gentry, fined them, and imprisoned them. The situation was quickly brought under control. Seeing all the officials and gentry, This time when I came to the court, I was serious about it. I knew that my arms could not twist my thighs, so I had no choice but to give up the resistance and began to cooperate obediently in the land measurement and liquidation. As a result, the resistance gradually decreased, and the measurement and liquidation work was carried out relatively smoothly.
The land measurement and liquidation work in the sixteen counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture went smoothly. In mid-April, after statistical calculations, the summer grain field tax was collected in advance. The results of the collection shocked Zhao Xu and all the civil and military officials. : The summer grain pre-harvest land tax in the sixteen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture alone has suddenly increased by nearly 400,000 guan! This means that the sixteen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture have previously concealed more than 10 million acres (new standard acres) of fields! It can be seen from this that, There are more than hundreds of millions of acres of farmland concealed and unreported across the country!
Wu Zhi had already been convinced and felt it was relatively normal, but for Emperor Zhao Xu, this was an unexpected surprise. So, based on the experience of Kaifeng Prefecture's pilot program of promoting the sharing of land between households and households, Zhao Xu expanded the pilot program to Gyeonggi Road.
, Jingxi Road, Jingdong Road, Hebei Road, Hedong Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan East Road, Liangzhe Road and Jinghu North Road, sent a large number of officials and supervisors from the Surveying Department to various places, and also sent some Imperial Guards of the Fourth Army.
The commanders and imperial guards were dispatched to various places to coordinate and assist the imperial troops in various places, strengthen military deterrence, and ensure that the spread of the land around Bianliang in the capital was in full swing. As for the results, we can only wait for time to verify.
Seeing that the new army's training had been successfully carried out, Wu Zhi began to focus on the research and development of new weapons for the Firearms Bureau.
