Ah Gou discovered a strange phenomenon. Every night, Ah Cat would go outside to soak in the hot spring. This is what Ah Cat said himself. Just soak in the hot spring, but every time he came back from the hot spring, his face would be strangely red. As if he had done some strenuous activity, he seemed particularly weak.
Then it was broad daylight, and she watched Ah Mao and the General having sex with her own eyes. The two grown men exchanged eyebrows from time to time, which made her skin crawl.
Even if she is not very beautiful, Maomao has never meant anything to her. Could it be that Maomao doesn't like girls and men. . ?
But it’s wrong to think about it. Cat has a child in his hometown, and his wife is waiting for him. He shouldn’t be such a good person. Could it be that the general is forcing Cat to commit the crime?
Ah Gou used his endless imagination to imagine the scene of Liang Chuan having sex at the knee of the General. Fortunately, Liang Chuan couldn't enter Ah Gou's head. Otherwise, he would have rewarded Ah Gou with a meal of fried sugar. chestnut.
Liang Chuan's military force is certainly a highlight, but war has never been a game for one person. At the beginning, Li Chuyi said that this kind of technology that can defeat thousands of enemies cannot be defeated by an elegant party. A real general can strategize a decisive victory thousands of miles away and go into battle by himself. Fighting and killing?
The Genji clan and the Taira clan each have their own characteristics. The Taira clan occupies the port of Kobe, and many southern ships are anchored there for trade. If the Taira clan makes good use of it, the wealth they accumulate will never be matched by the Genji. But the Taira clan He happened to be a person who emphasized agriculture and suppressed business.
What's even more deadly is the group of people under the Taira clan, that group of restless elements - the samurai. The character of a samurai has always been to take whatever he likes. If the other party refuses, fine, let's have a duel. Whoever dies gets the item.
There was never a spirit of contract in their eyes, so when merchants from the south came to trade, they always brought many rare treasures that were not found in the island country. The warrior's eyes lit up when he saw them, and he took them and left. This would cost the merchants their lives. How could they be willing to let the warriors go east and west like this every day? Is the business still open?
Over time, the conflict intensified. The merchant's own armed forces fought several times with the local warriors of the Ping clan. The matter turned to the local snake, the Ping clan. The Ping clan had to rely on the warriors to calm the world, so naturally it could not chill the hearts of the warriors. Whenever the samurai committed a crime, he would indiscriminately blame all his samurai.
It's over, the samurai people have won over, but the businessmen have completely seen through the Taira family. This is not a place for business. I won't come, so the sea ship from Liang Chuan would rather be anchored in a small fishing village like Yokohama. I would like to go to Kobe again.
Mr. Ping had killed the hen that laid the golden eggs with his own hands.
Liang Chuan's first suggestion to Genji was to pay attention to the sea. Ports should be developed to create a safe and honest trading environment for merchants, and then recruit merchants from all over the world to come to trade and collect taxes from them. These commercial taxes alone can be compared to Countless farmers work hard for a year.
Minamoto Yoritomo also had many natural ports in his hands. He built wharves, warehouses, and inns and shops in these places, and then built roads from Kamakura to these ports to allow goods to flow unimpeded.
Minamoto Yoritomo is very similar to the Taira family. She also does not trust these businessmen, because businessmen are synonymous with treachery. They do not engage in production, but they seize several times the benefits of farmers. Making money from them is harder than plucking feathers from an iron rooster.
Liang Chuan said, this is too simple. As long as the management of the port is in place, all goods that come ashore are registered, merchants check the goods coming in and out before they are released, and crack down on smuggling severely, then they can't escape even a copper plate of tax!
There was only one Chi Road, so they could take the mountain road instead. The mountain road was full of robbers and bandits, and the government would not accept the stolen goods. We then encourage the public to report smuggling, and once all the private goods are seized and confiscated, the reporter will be rewarded with 1/10 of the payment. In this way, the whole people will definitely start a trend to combat smuggling, and businessmen will not be able to make profits for themselves, but will have to pay taxes to the government.
In order to avoid following the old path of the Ping family who indulged their subordinates and were lax in their duties, these restless warriors Liang Chuan also made demands on them and set up an organization specifically to manage these warriors - the Shisuo.
All samurai who are willing to work for the Genji must be registered at the service station. Those who disobey management and refuse to register are regarded as traitors or surrendering to the enemy, and will not only be deported but also subject to corporal punishment. If they were to let him leave intact, they would definitely join the Ping clan. Wouldn't that be helping the evil?
Minamoto no Raijin worriedly asked Liang Chuandao: "What if the warriors resist after doing this?"
Liang Chuan said: "If they want to sacrifice their lives for you, they will not resist. You must make good use of these warriors. You can only reward merit and punishment. Establish a standard military merit reward mechanism and reward them according to the number of enemies killed. Each of them will The starting point is the same, and I will be convinced in my heart. If you manage them based on your preferences and let them go their own way, even if they can help you conquer the world for a while, they will probably overturn your world later!"
Liang Chuan continued: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished instead of being frank. Only in this way will your benevolence and open-mindedness be widely spread. The warriors will be more willing to sacrifice their lives for you if they know that you are not selfish."
In Liang Chuan's vision, the samurai have a certain area of activity, because these warriors are quite paramilitary personnel. They must be mobilized quickly during war, but they must not be allowed to get too close to civilians in peacetime to avoid conflicts between the military and civilians.
Minamoto Yoritomo remained silent. It would be easy if these samurai were so easy to manage. She had already seen the difficulties before this was implemented.
Liang Chuan also understood her worries and said: "This matter is inherently difficult. A great cause will never be born without going through labor pains. On the one hand, it depends on your courage, and on the other hand, it depends on your means. If you can't pass this hurdle, fight for it." I think it’s better to leave this matter alone for now.”
Minamoto Yoritomo's face turned green and red when he was stimulated. Everything Liang Chuan said made sense, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it. Ping's lesson was right in front of him, and now Liang Chuan clearly pointed it out to him. It is imperative that we act quickly.
Liang Chuan and Genji rode horses several times in Kamakura on a snowy day. Minamoto Yoritomo was quite proud of leading Liang Chuan around his territory, but Liang Chuan was frightened.
Although he has never studied military affairs, let alone led troops to fight in a war, but the fact that he has never eaten pork does not mean that he has never seen pigs running.
Liang Chuan, a layman, walked around the Genji base camp twice and saw a lot of problems.
First of all, Kamakura, as the base camp of the Genji, should be a top military location, but the city defense here is in name only, no different from a rural market, and the city defense is not even as good as a temporary military camp for fighting.
If the Taira clan used a surprise force to sneak into the Kamakura base camp, what would they do to resist the enemy? The Taira family's base camp is on the other side of the sea. He is not worried about a sneak attack from Genji. Genji does not have such conditions.
Even digging a small ditch as a moat can block the opponent. The expansion of the city is not that fast. It must be built with stones one by one. It will not freeze three feet in a day. I am afraid it will not be completed within a few years. Moreover, it is a considerable workload and the cost is also very high. , but I’m not in a hurry.
Being more vigilant at ordinary times can also reduce the risk of being attacked by a sneak attack. If only all the guards guarding Kamakura were as greedy as the two guards who brought Liang Chuan here. . . Alas, when Liang Chuan took a look at it, he realized that every link was full of loopholes.
Since Liangchuan wanted to dig a moat, he thought of something else.
Liang Chuan took Minamoto Yoritomo to walk around the slums in the city. The people were frightened when they saw General Minamoto going on patrol. The people here, like those in the Song Dynasty, were extremely afraid of officials because they had no good intentions. Take what you want when you see it, and taking it by force is not an exaggeration. If one of them collided with them and was killed on the spot, he still had to blame himself for his lack of foresight.
Liang Chuan pointed to the filth and poor people everywhere and showed it to Minamoto Yoritomo. Minamoto Yoritomo didn't want to come to this filthy place, let alone see her own scars. Liang Chuan felt like he was slapping her in the face.
Liang Chuan said to Minamoto Yoritomo: "The samurai are your unsettling factor, and these people are your unsettling factor. They are wandering around the city with nothing to do and have no place to stay. Sooner or later, trouble will occur."
Minamoto no Yoricho said: "If the warriors ask me for help, I can give them orders. These people are no different from dead people. They are not afraid of death. How can I control them?"
Liang Chuan said: "Management does not necessarily require violence, but can you use profit to drive them and make them serve you consciously?"
Minamoto Yoritomo had never heard of this statement before and asked, "Go on."
Liang Chuan said: "We'll talk about this later. Look at the scene I took you to see here. What else did you see?"
Minamoto Yoritomo really didn't like this way of talking. She always claimed to be extremely smart, and she was like a naive child in front of Liang Chuan, looking so ignorant and ridiculous.
"Stop showing off."
Liang Chuan said: "Don't you think your Kamakura is like a garbage dump? There is filthy sewage and objects everywhere. There are many filth and toxins in this filth that can make people sick. If you continue to let this sewage flow into the city, Among the streets, when summer comes tomorrow, the plague will come."
plague! Minamoto Yoritomo's expression changed visibly when he heard this word.
"I'm not joking with you. If you don't pay attention to this issue, your army and your people will all get sick when the epidemic really breaks out. Will you still have the fighting power when the plague comes? Not only that, but also your taxes Will they follow, but the people in this city will still follow and cause trouble... or even rebel!"
"How do you know the plague is related to this filth?"
Naturally, Liang Chuan couldn't explain words like viruses and bacteria to her, so he said, "Our medical books from the Song Dynasty have already recorded this knowledge. You just haven't read it. Do you know Huo Qubing?"
Minamoto Yori said seriously: "Of course I know that the Han Empire has two walls and unparalleled generals."
Liang Chuan said: "Back then, when the Huns couldn't defeat Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, they threw many dead animals and filth into their rivers to pollute the water. Wei Qing drank the water from Ma Grassland and left at a young age. In this world, do you understand?"
Minamoto Yoritomo no longer argued with Liang Chuan. The knowledge of the Song Dynasty was too far ahead of theirs, and he was lagging behind.
Liang Chuan said: "These idle people in the city need work, so you mobilize them to carry out urban construction. They can dig trenches and build city walls. They can also clean up the streets of Kamakura and set up sewage channels to drain the sewage in the city." The goods are lined up outside the city, and you give them money for their work, and they will naturally listen to you in order to make money."
Kill three birds with one stone.
