The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Chapter 181 Inspection
The second floor of a chariot and horse shop in Lingnan Fucheng.

A tall, middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood in front of the window, looking at the two-headed carriage passing downstairs, and hundreds of guards surrounded by the carriage.

Not to mention the hundreds of high-headed horses with smooth lines and vigorous postures, he, who leads troops all year round, is envious.

When the team was gone, he asked, "Is this carriage driven by Princess Qian?"

The owner of the chariot and horse shop is surnamed Jiang, and his single name is Dong. He is a native of Lingnan. He also met this friend when he went out to run a business.

After hearing what he said, Jiang Dong replied: "Yes, Princess Qian never hides her whereabouts when she goes out. Every time she goes out, she is so grandiose. Although she is flamboyant, she brings at least one hundred guards with her every time. "

Hearing what he said, Sha Yuliang rolled his eyes in his heart, he came to Lingnan without any intention of assassination, besides, Princess Qian had no grievances with him, why did he assassinate her?
Jiang Dong sat back at the table, and personally lifted the teapot to refill him with tea, "Brother Sha, come and sit, it's still a bit cold to stand by the window in this weather."

Hearing this, Sha Yuliang turned around and sat down. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat.

He was born as a frontier general, and he has been living in the frontier since he was sensible. He was never afraid of killing the enemy, and gradually he made a name for himself in the military camp.

Just because of his bad background, outspoken heart, not as much flirtatiousness as the generals of the family, he has always been excluded by the generals of the family in the frontier barracks!

In the past few months, it was even more extreme. Due to a battle with the rebels, he was injured and fell on the battlefield. The frontier army reported him dead without even cleaning the battlefield.

He didn't know it had been reported until he crawled back from the battlefield.

Those noble generals shied away from each other, and no one helped stop the report.

As a result, the fierce general who was somewhat famous in the frontier was killed in battle like this.

In a fit of anger, Sha Yuliang left the barracks and returned to his home in the border town.

Just because he was 'dead in battle', a living person stood in the world and became a black household.

Coupled with the serious white disaster, they simply did not do anything, and took their families directly to the south to seek refuge in Jiangdong.

Jiang Dong took a sip of tea, recalled the disaster situation in the north, and said: "I heard Brother Sha talk about the situation in the north, I'm afraid that in less than a month, those refugees who fled will arrive in Lingnan."

Sha Yuliang estimated the footsteps of those refugees, "The speed is fast, and they will reach Lingnan in about a year. At that time, there will be refugee heads everywhere outside the city."

Jiang Dong nodded with a heavy heart: "When the refugees come, the government will definitely find a way to resettle them. At that time, Brother Sha will take this opportunity to re-register and settle down in Lingnan."

Sha Yuliang knew he couldn't do without a household registration, so he didn't object, "I'm afraid I'll trouble Brother Jiang again."

"According to our relationship, it's too polite to be honest. At the border back then, if you hadn't rescued me, I might have become a handful of loess."

When Sha Yuliang led a small team of soldiers to rescue him, Jiang Dong had a very good impression of him, and after getting to know him slowly, he felt more at ease about his character.

Jiang Dong has been thinking about how to repay his life-saving grace, no, the opportunity has come.

Jiang Dong ate some snacks, drank some tea, and asked, "Brother Sha, do you want to seek refuge under Wang Hao after you inquired about Wang Hao's whereabouts?"

Sha Yuliang raised his eyelids, frowned slightly and said, "As far as I know, the princess has no soldiers besides her own personal guard battalion?"

Hearing what he said, Jiang Dong cheered up, "It is true that the princess does not have military power, but his own son, the fifth master, has soldiers in his hands. These soldiers are directly related to the army! If you don't count the frontier troops , The soldiers and horses in his hands are almost the same as the soldiers and horses in the hands of King Qian!"

Sha Yulianghu questioned: "He holds a heavy soldier in his hand, so King Qian is assured of him?"

Jiang Dong listened, and smiled: "This can only show that our concubine's husband is skilled."

"The imperial husband is skilled? You even know about the relationship between the prince and his wife?" Sha Yuliang obviously didn't believe it.

Jiang Dong pointed out the window, "There are rumors in the market that the prince is obedient to the princess. I am not the first to know, and everyone in the market knows."

"Do you dare to believe the rumors?"

"Where there is no wind, there are no waves. It must be the prince who loves the princess to spread such gossip."

Jiangdong lives in Fucheng but knows that the princess often goes out. If the prince doesn't spoil her, will he let her go out to show his face?
Sha Yuliang only knew how to lead troops to fight, but he didn't know anything about governing the country. Although he didn't understand, he heard about King Qian's reputation in the capital and what he did when he came to Lingnan.

For example, the recent overhaul of water conservancy in the south of the Lingnan and the building complex in the north of the city, such a large-scale construction, waste of money and people, is extremely inconsistent with the rules of survival in troubled times.

"Confused! From the moment the imperial court abandoned the Gyeonggi area and chose to move south, it is no exaggeration to say that the Dayu Dynasty has entered the last year of the dynasty! In troubled times, the accumulation of grain, high walls, and more money are the only way to save money. It's the right answer."

As he said, he pointed to the north, "But look, there is a lot of construction work, and half of the city has been built in the north of the city, but what is the use of these other than convenience for the people? If the rebels attack, those newly built houses may Turned into a heap of ruins again!"

Jiang Dong got up and looked outside the door, but he didn't find anyone and sat back with peace of mind, "Brother Sha, you are worrying too much, the palace is worried about these things, we don't talk about this topic, let's not talk about this topic!"
-
Xia Jing's motorcade stopped in front of the Xinfu Yamen.

"Princess, I've arrived at the government office."

Hongmei jumped off the carriage and opened the curtain for Xia Jing.

Xia Jing got off the carriage and went straight into the government office.

"The concubine is here." Seeing Xia Jing enter the study, King Qian put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

He came out from behind the desk, "Does the princess want to rest for a while, or go to the granary right away?"

Xia Jing walked into the study room, did not sit down, but said, "Go to the storage area to have a look first."

"Then let's go." King Qian walked out first.

Xia Jing followed unhurriedly.

The storage area of ​​the government office is a newly designated area, and it is managed separately from the government office for fire prevention and theft prevention.

A large area behind the government office is a divided storage area, and Xia Jing also occupies a part of the area in this area, building many granaries.

This time I came here to inspect the use of the granary and the progress of the new granary.

"Princess, is it unnecessary to put this wall here to get in the way?" King Qian asked, pointing to the wall that cuts across the storage area.

"This is the boundary of the storage area, how can it get in the way?"

Xia Jing looked at him with a smile, one side of the storage area belonged to Xia Jing, and the other side belonged to King Qian, or Lingnan's storage area.

King Qian made a gesture between the two: "We are a family, is it necessary to divide them so clearly?"

"Brothers are still clear about settlements, so we should make a clear distinction between them, so as not to cause jealousy in the house and make the house restless!" When Xia Jing said this, a sneer was evident at the corner of her mouth.

This smile was caught in King Qian's eyes, making him speechless.

He wanted to say, there are no storage areas in the other rooms, and you are the only one who has one. Are you not afraid of the noise in the other rooms?

In fact, Xia Jing's storage area is not divided into the land of the government office, it is the land she bought earlier, but the land close to the government office is reserved for the purpose of building a granary.

The reason why a wall was built in the middle was to clearly divide the palace from her, so as not to be confused in the future.

At this time, Ding Daqiang ran over.

"I have seen the prince, I have seen the princess."

Xia Jing excused him and asked, "How is the progress of the newly built granary?"

"The finishing work is being done, and the food reserves will be put into use in two days."

"That's great!" Xia Jing smiled, "In two days, the long-voyage fleet should return, and the granary on your side can just come in handy."

Xia Jing sometimes feels that she is not like herself now, she has learned to worry about the country and the people.

But the life of the people in the world is hard and difficult!
If she doesn't do something within her power, her conscience will be troubled!
The white disaster in the north, no matter whether the refugees will flee to Lingnan or not, she will never go wrong if she prepares in advance!

In order to ensure that there is no shortage of food in Lingnan, she had earlier arranged for a fleet to go to the colony to purchase food. This time the fleet returned this time to transport food for the third time.

Of course, King Qian also has his own fleet now, this time following Xia Jing's arrangement, his fleet has also delivered food twice and returned.

No matter when you have food in your hand, don't panic in your heart!
After inspecting the storage area and being satisfied with the food reserves and safety precautions, King Qian and Xia Jing drove to the outskirts military camp together.

On the carriage, King Qian looked at Xia Jing with closed eyes and rested his mind, and asked, "Princess, what is the output of your iron workshop's flintlock guns now?"

Xia Jing closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep, but after hearing what he said, she still answered, "It's not bad. Through technical improvements, the production speed has now been increased."

The main reason is that many processes can be produced in an assembly line, which greatly speeds up the production speed.

King Qian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said in a deliberative tone: "I heard from Xiaowu that his team has nearly 1 people equipped with flintlock guns. For the sake of our husband and wife, we can evenly share people in the next year." Are the flintlocks out?"

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing couldn't help opening her eyes, "My lord, my employees haven't been home for two consecutive months. No matter how busy they are at work during the Chinese New Year, I still have to give them a holiday to go home and reunite."

"As for the flintlock guns you mentioned, I can only say that we will do our best, and we will give you as much as we can produce in the next year!"

King Qian didn't dare to have an opinion, and he was very grateful to get her promise, "Then the king thanked the princess first here."

Xia Jing pursed her lips and smiled: "You're welcome."

When they arrived at the military camp, King Qian first followed Xia Jing into Xiao Wu's camp.

When Xiao Wu heard that King Qian and Xia Jing were coming, he hurried out of the room, "Father, Mother, why are you here?"

King Qian smiled and said, "Let's come and see you."

On the training ground, there are all energetic soldiers, and their every move is full of strength.

"Really, except for the guards of the original palace, the soldiers in the camp are basically new recruits. How is the progress in training them?"

Facing Xia Jing's question, Li Chengmu immediately replied: "Every day, the tasks are completed on time and according to the amount. However, recruits are still recruits, and they cannot be trained overnight. If you want to train a strong army in a short period of time, Then you can only use firearms, which not only shortens the training time, but also eliminates the need to compete with veterans in physical strength."

Hearing Li Chengmu's eloquence, King Qian nodded with satisfaction: "The most taboo thing for a general who leads troops to fight is to keep ordering and prohibiting, and not to be clear about rewards and punishments. If you want to be the commander of this team, These taboos must be kept in mind!"

Li Chengmu chuckled: "Remember, son, the team I lead, not to mention invincible, at least have strict military laws and prohibitions, and no one dares to claim military merits."

King Qian deliberately asked: "How do you know that no one dares to claim it? Maybe someone has claimed it and you don't know?"

"My subordinates, all the soldiers who participated in the battle, as long as they beheaded one level, they will be rewarded with two taels of silver. Who do you think will make life difficult for the silver and let others get it without military merit?" Li Chengmu was proud.

King Qian was stupid when he heard this!

In his impression, it was normal for the Dayu Dynasty to default on military pay, and the due military pay could not be paid on time. Who would care about the merits of the soldiers or not.

When he was distributing military pay back then, he was still thinking, "Look, he surpassed the imperial court and managed the place better than the imperial court. At least the imperial court can't pay the military pay, but he can pay it on time."

Why is the imperial court always losing battles, most of the soldiers don’t have enough to eat and wear, and the weak can be blown away by the wind. One can imagine how to win the battle with such combat power?
King Qian thought it was a great thing to pay the army on time, but compared with Xia Jingyi, he might suffer from insomnia again tonight!
Xia Jing directly cashed in silver rewards, which greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers.

The soldiers are all looking forward to going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, to make a fortune by killing the enemy, and to be promoted by killing the enemy!
King Qian turned his head and asked Xia Jing, "Can you spend money like this to build a strong army?"

Xia Jing shook her head: "How could a strong army be trained so easily? The immediate silver reward is to better stimulate the morale of the soldiers and temporarily increase the combat effectiveness of the team."

A strong army must be strict in all aspects. If the mental outlook, skills and physical fitness, sophisticated ordnance, etc. are improved, then the team will also be improved.

If we enter the age of firearms, the superior ordnance will dominate, and if the ordnance is not sophisticated, then it is equivalent to exposing soldiers to the enemy's weapons, and their lives will be threatened at any time.

After hearing her words, King Qian secretly heaved a sigh of relief with a serious expression. Facing the strong mother and son, King Qian felt a lot of pressure.

Thinking of the silver rewards for the mother and son leading the army, he asked again: "According to what you said, it will cost a lot of silver. As far as I know, even if the output of the mine and the salt field of the princess are added, it is barely enough to support these people." Where does the reward silver come from?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jing couldn't help laughing, "My lord, don't tell me, you don't know that overseas colonies have minerals in many places, such as iron, copper, gold, silver, etc. If you find any place, you can buy it." How many soldiers and horses can be raised!"

"." King Qian blinked his eyes. He really hadn't thought about going underground. If he had known this, when his fleet went out to sea, he would tell them to find out about the minerals.

Whenever his fleet went to a place, the first thing he thought of was food, followed by property.

Unexpectedly, the concubine's thinking was more active than theirs, and she directly thought of the underground mines going up.

It's unbelievable!
