Three days have passed. On the night of the 15th, the news that the immortal appeared at the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony in Yingtao City spread like a tide to all places in Julu. Regarding this matter, even the generals in the army were talking about it, but Wen Yuan just smiled.
Passed without saying a word.
Wen Yuan came from his previous life and was a staunch atheist. If there was anything worthy of his worship, it was only this day, this place, his elders, and his parents. The girl in white had indeed used magic tricks to fool the people of Yingtao, and her whereabouts were secretive, but
Then he disappeared without a trace, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, he made eye contact with the woman in a hurry. In the dark night, he felt that the woman's eyes were extremely bright, as if she was trying to find out what was deep in her heart.
Other than that, I didn't find any malicious intent.
But speaking of it, Wen Yuan was full of curiosity about this mysterious woman in white. He had secretly asked the intelligence organization Wang Li had just formed to pay attention to it and secretly collect information about this woman in white.
It is a pity that Wang Li has not received any useful news so far. It is as if the woman in white has never appeared. Wen Yuan is not in a hurry, because after a quick glance on the night of the 15th, Wen Yuan had a premonition that in the future,
I will definitely meet that woman again.
Speaking of which, Wen Yuan was inspired by a popular magic show on the night of the 15th, which prompted Wang Li, who was scratching his head to select intelligence personnel, to discuss it for a while.
Fine work does not necessarily require strong martial arts, the key is to have a flexible mind. In addition, that performance inspired Wen Yuan. In addition to being flexible, he also has a skill, whether it is juggling
As a busker or a peddler, as long as he has a skill, can be well integrated into life, and has a heart that is absolutely loyal to Wen Yuan, such a person is the most suitable candidate for the work.
Sure enough, Wang Li selected according to this standard, and the selected people quickly adapted to the change in status. After several rigorous trainings, they finally became qualified craftsmen and would continue to send a steady stream of meaningful news to Wen Yuan in the future.
In fact, not only Wang Li's intelligence agency, but also the entire Julu started to operate like a huge machine after the celebration banquet the day before yesterday.
Zhang Jaw was the first to start the training of combat soldiers. In the battle with Heishan, Julu soldiers and civilians suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and nearly 2,000 combat soldiers were lost. Zhang Jaw also transferred 10,000 soldiers from the auxiliary army to make up for it.
In addition to Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan's two thousand soldiers, including Ma Yan's troops, a total of eight thousand five hundred soldiers started a brutal training outside Yingtao City!
Although the training was rigorous, all the soldiers who participated in the training worked hard. In this battle in Montenegro, all the soldiers who participated in the battle got their own share from the seizures. On average, each of them had two to three thousand coins. This is
A person usually has three or four months of living expenses. What's more, there are additional rewards for those who have meritorious service. The soldiers who died in battle also received more than twice the amount of pension from the court! Just giving the reward to the soldiers under his command cost Wenyuan four to five thousand gold!
How can we not let the soldiers do their best when meeting such a generous lord?
In contrast, Jushou's task was a bit more complicated. He had to select 5,000 elite auxiliary soldiers from the refugees, and he also had to be responsible for the training of the original auxiliary soldiers. To this end, Jushou specially assigned the auxiliary soldiers from fifteen counties to
Lieutenants, commanders, and team leaders were recruited to Yitao City in turns. These auxiliary officers were first given intensive training in batches for one month.
Jushuo was too busy to keep his feet on the ground, and thanks to Liu Hui's help, he was temporarily responsible for supervising the construction of the beacon tower. Anyway, after the beacon tower was built, he would supervise the newly recruited auxiliary soldiers to open up wasteland and cultivate land near the beacon tower.
Tian Feng was not idle either. As soon as the autumn harvest was over, he recruited thousands of strong men and strong women to level the land on the northern shore of Daluze and prepare to build large houses. It is worth mentioning that when Wenyuan promulgated the law on the military farming system
, also announced that the people of Julu will be exempted from corvee! Once the people's power needs to be used, the principle of voluntariness will be adopted. As long as they work, they will take care of two meals a day, and the wages will be settled on a daily basis. I heard that there is such a benevolent government, and the people of Julu are all
I am grateful to Wenyuan, not to mention that it is already the slack season at this time. I heard that the government is carrying out large-scale construction projects. Not only is it responsible for food, but there are also wages to be paid every day. How can the people not actively participate in it? There are currently tens of thousands of people who have signed up. In order to save money
In order to obtain food, Tian Feng could only select the best among them, which made those who were not selected lament.
In addition, there are also leaders who urge everyone to collect iron ore, wood, and build weapons and equipment.
In short, Julu County was busy after the autumn harvest, and there was a booming development scene everywhere. In comparison, Wen Yuan, who delegated all important military and political affairs to his subordinates, became an idler, except for occasionally going out for inspections.
Fan is to plan the next development plan of Julu in the mansion.
On this day, Wen Yuan finished inspecting the treasury again and was about to go out of the city. Suddenly someone from the mansion came to report that someone from the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan was visiting.
Wen Yuan was refreshed and hurriedly rode back. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw several large carts parked in front of the house. The things on the carts were obviously very heavy. A cart required two strong horses to pull it.
A vigorous old man in commoner clothes in his early teens stood bowed outside the door of the mansion, looking around anxiously from time to time.
Although a year has passed, the old man Wen Yuan has never forgotten that it was the steward of the little Loli family whom he met in Hanoi, and his surname was Zhen.
The sound of horse hooves coming from far away had already caught the attention of Manager Zhen. When he saw Wen Yuan, his face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to go up and say hello, he suddenly thought that the Wen Yuan in front of him was no longer the man with no soldiers and power a year ago.
The little captain hurriedly stopped his steps, and when Wen Yuan rode his horse forward, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted respectfully.
Wen Yuan calmly dismounted his horse, gently helped Manager Zhen up, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhen, at his age, there is no need to give such a big gift."
Seeing that Wen Yuan was so approachable, Manager Zhen felt grateful and flattered and said: "The elder is an official, and the younger one is a citizen. It should be, it should be, oh, by the way, the younger one has not congratulated the elder on his promotion on behalf of the family master. It is just a small gift.
Please accept it, General." He said and presented a beautifully crafted gift list.
Wen Yuan was not polite and let Zhang Yu accept it without looking at it. He asked Manager Zhen to go to the side hall and sit down with tea.
After all, Manager Zhen is a person who knows the importance of things. Although Wen Yuan's kindness does make him look good, there is a difference in status and inferiority. Wen Yuan invites him to sit down no matter what, but he refuses. Wen Yuan has no choice but to let him stand.
Beside yourself.
"The little man is here not only to express his congratulations on behalf of my master, but also to present 30% of the dividends from the folding fan business over the past year."
"Oh? I wonder how many there are?" Wen Yuan couldn't help but become interested and said with a smile.
Manager Zhen was quite proud. He held out three fingers and said, "No more, no less, three thousand gold!"
"Oh?" Wen Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed. Originally, he thought that this folding fan was just a toy he made on a whim. Even if it was sold through the Zhen family's huge business network, three cents of the proceeds would be given to himself.
Eight hundred gold is already a big deal. Qian Wenyuan has no intention of attaching importance to this. The only thing he values is probably to use this to increase the popularity of Julu. No, Tian Feng, Jushou's chief adviser, isn't it?
