After making up his mind, Liu Haojia made a circle with his riding whip and said, "Wang Baihu, I will give you an official document. You go to the county government office and transfer all this land to Jin Yiwei's name."
Wang Hongrui naturally nodded in agreement, but he still said: "Sir, it's just that the time required for the exchange of official documents has been longer. I wonder when will your Excellency need to build the military camp?"
Liu Haojia felt that what Wang Hongrui said was indeed reasonable. This land wanted to be transferred to Jinyiwei's name. It took no telling how long it took just to exchange official documents! And depending on his relationship with the civil servants, he might even be dragged along. If they get greedy, maybe the surname of this land will be changed halfway!
So he simply said: "You don't need to worry about the official documents. I will handle it personally. But there are two things for you to do! The first thing is to hire civilians to circle the reed pond first, and the second thing is to post the Go out and tell the Jinyi Guards to recruit troops until they have reached 1,500 people! Come and collect the money you need from me. People around me think Liu Ren and Guo Zhankui will cooperate with you. Is there any problem?"
Wang Hongrui first agreed loudly: "No problem!"
Then he handed over to Liu Ren and said: "With the help of two brothers, the things entrusted by the adults will be completed. It's just a big thank you to the two brothers!"
From Wang Hongrui's status as a member of the Baihu family, saying these words to two small flags is already a very low profile! Therefore, the two of them did not dare to take the big shot, and immediately returned the courtesy and said: "Master Wang, you are so polite!"
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Liu Haojia said with satisfaction: "Wang Baihu, these two are old men who have followed me, and they have always known my rules! And if you want to work under me in the future, you must also know me The rules! I will tell you again here, that is, I tell you to do things. If you don’t understand something, you can ask it at any time. You can ask it as many times as you want! But if you don’t understand it, you don’t ask it, and you do it randomly. , if you mess up the errand, it will be a big deal! Do you understand?"
Wang Hongrui said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, what you just explained was very detailed, and my subordinates can understand it clearly!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "That's fine, let's go and do our own errands!"
After he sent everyone away, he took his people back to his residence and wrote a detailed memorial, clearly describing what he had done in the past few days, and then asked Emperor Wanli to issue a document as soon as possible to transfer the city of Tianjin. The land outside was assigned to Jin Yiwei's name. Then he put the memorial into the iron box and sent it away on a fast horse.
He had just finished arranging the memorial, and Miss Zhang also came back from outside. Liu Haojia took her hand and sat down and said, "Where did you go this little day?"
Miss Zhang let him hold her hand and said: "Go to the Jingshi Bank store and have a look. The bank has almost been dug out. It will be completely repaired in about a month and a half, and it will be ready for business!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia slapped his forehead and said, "There is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you! Tomorrow you send someone to see Wang Hongrui, the 100-year-old Jinyiwei here. He has something to do and needs money, so you can give it to him directly."
Miss Zhang said: "Then how much money does he need? The money we brought is still in the house. It would be better to spend it earlier, so as not to worry!"
Liu Haojia said: "How much money you give him depends on what he reports to do. You have to tell the people you send to carefully check which expenses are necessary and which are unnecessary. You must have a clear grasp of what is not necessary. Let him take advantage of this! I don’t want to kill someone who is useful to me right now!”
Miss Zhang nodded and said: "I understand! I will arrange for someone to find him early tomorrow morning."
The two talked about business and naturally transitioned into a couple state. Miss Zhang said that she had recently learned a new piece of music and played it to Liu Haojia. Although Liu Haojia said that he had no interest in music, he could only endure it for Miss Zhang.
After spending a day with Miss Zhang, he entered a busy state again, and all the original Jinyi guards in Tianjin were being turned around by his command!
There are several major things. One is to send people to the countryside to sign contracts with farmers in each village, purchase their livestock and reserve the number of livestock supplied in the future. Liu Haojia predicts that he will have at least several thousand soldiers and horses under his command in the future, and if there are more, it may reach more than 10,000 people!
So many soldiers must eat well if they want to train well! If you want to eat well, you need poultry, eggs and meat, so you have to do the purchasing work in advance, otherwise the poultry and livestock raised by farmers will not be enough for these soldiers!
The second step was to announce the recruitment of soldiers and civilian husbands in the Tianjin garrison and surrounding villages. As soon as the news came out, the surrounding military remnants and idle villagers in the villages were overjoyed!
Because Tianjin is originally a relatively large health center with quite a lot of military remnants inside! These people have nothing to do and have no income. They will inevitably do some sneaky things, or they can only sell themselves as coolies and work part-time, and their lives are very difficult! However, they all belong to the military household and cannot make a living. They can only endure hardship day by day!
The so-called military surplus is that the men in the military household guards who cannot serve as soldiers are called military surplus. The Wei Suo played a very important role in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, because they carried Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, which is to be busy with farming in leisure time and as a soldier in war time! This can not only ensure the combat capability of the army, but also reduce the expenditure of the court.
But Zhu Yuanzhang forgot one thing, that is, the population will continue to grow, but the land will not! With the advent of the peaceful age, the world's population has increased dramatically, and the military households in the guards are no exception! So slowly, the land in the health center gradually became insufficient for distribution!
And there is another very abominable thing, that is, the officers in the guard station use their power to devour the land and convert public land into private land! This led to a further reduction in the number of land in the guard station. Not only was the guard station originally self-sufficient and even able to deliver grain grains to the court, it actually required the court to subsidize it!
By the time of the Wanli Dynasty, most of the fields in the guardhouse had become privately owned by officers, but the largest number of military households, soldiers, had no land to cultivate! Moreover, the number of people needed in the army is only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge number of military households! A large number of young men and women had to queue up locally to enlist in the army! Due to their military household registration, they cannot go far away and can only work hard as part-time workers locally! So as soon as they heard the news about Jinyiwei's recruitment, the military remnants in the military household happily waited for the day of recruitment!
As Liu Haojia continued to send people out on errands, he increasingly felt that he had too few people! What he means is that there are too few people in the hands. It does not mean that there are too few people who can run errands, but that there are too few people who are literate and can do things independently!
