Goryeo, Tamra.
The bird boat, also called a wave boat, is six feet eight feet long, one foot two feet wide, and has a displacement of about sixty-six tons. It can carry nine watermen, thirty-three soldiers, and is equipped with two nine-pound small snake guns. Four six-pound Falcon guns, two large Folan guns, and four Crouching Tiger cannons are the largest ships that Chiyang can independently manufacture at the moment...
Looking at the bird boat that was about to take shape on the slipway, Yue Heli felt calm in his heart! As a system-certified junior naval engineer, he can build more than one kind of ship. He can build it with his eyes closed, whether it is a Haicang, a sentry ship, a fortune ship, or even a boat, a rice boat, or an old lock ship. As long as conditions permit, he can build it. ! However, today, the unreasonable request made by Liu Laoliu, an old layman, really pissed him off! As the saying goes, slow work produces fine work. No matter how much useless decorations are abandoned and no matter how fast the work is done, it will take more than two months to outfit a bird ship and put it on the water. But this old guy's upper lip touched his lower lip. , dare to allow yourself to complete the construction within a month! What did he think this was, a group of farmers building a fence in front of their house? There are still three shifts to rush the work, and there are no skilled craftsmen. Even if this guy adds dozens or hundreds of basic labor forces, it will be useless! After all, the work has to be done by experienced craftsmen like yourself. The people who do it are just the people who do it. They can never replace the formal craftsmen who have the craftsmanship!
It's just that, as the saying goes, "people have to bow their heads under the eaves"! Although I am highly valued by the leader and I am not afraid of Liu Laoliu Gou relying on his power and being an outsider in commanding an expert, the brothers under his command want to eat, drink and have sex under his command, and they do not offend this old pirate who cannot succeed at all! Thinking of this, Yue Heliyue took a long puff of the pipe in his hand, then blew a long smoke ring into the cold air, and began to urge his craftsmen and workers to speed up the ship construction!
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While Yue Heli, chief naval engineer of Chiyang, was secretly sulking there, Liu Laoliu, who was wearing a bearskin jacket and a warm hat, had already arrived at the farm east of Tamna City in a warm sedan carried by four people. Point, not the United Blacksmiths' Workshop as it says! To be honest, the old man also knew that blindly urging Yue Lihe and others to speed up ship construction would arouse the resentment of the latter. However, Lin Wu, Wu Fang and others who were responsible for commanding the remaining fleet had reported counter-applications to him several times, saying that the ship was The team urgently needs a fast sailing ship with strong firepower, fast speed, and can operate in shallow sea areas, otherwise it may lose control of the sea in Jeju waters!
Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was today, he had to put aside his old face and come to be this thankless villain! Now that he was being reviled mercilessly, the old man felt unhappy and could only find an excuse to leave! After all, there are only so many people who can play important roles in Chiyang. You can't just take people down for questioning or even behead them just for a little dispute of temper!
If that happens, who else will dare to speak out against him in front of him in the future, and what will the leader think of him when he comes back! Jealous of the virtuous and capable, old and feeble-minded, with no capacity to accommodate others! Now everyone's life has just gotten better, and he has become the court official he dreamed of in the past, but he can't ruin his impression in the latter's mind for some trivial matters. He, Liu Laoliu, still wants to keep a useful body, mostly for his own family. How many years has the leader been the fleet manager?
As for the current inspection of the newly built farmland, it is he, Liu Laoliu and Liu Da, the manager, and Liu Dazhizhou made the decision on the spur of the moment in order to ease his mood! To be honest, the old man still prefers a quiet farm to a noisy workshop, because this guy was a farmer before he became a sailor. In his opinion, there are no acres of farmland. It looks pleasing to the eye, especially with the wheat that others have worked so hard to plant growing on it! The bloody Chiyang regime not only wiped out all the original ruling class on Jeju Island, but also packaged other people's properties and fields into their own pockets. Now the people who work hard there have become returned people under the tutelage. Transform the people, and the master becomes Chiyang as a matter of course! Therefore, no matter how angry you are, as long as you can see this endless farmland, you will feel better! Of course, if these wheat seedlings turn yellow and mature now, Liu Dazhizhou will be in a better mood! After all, who would think that he has too much food in his hands? Although Chiyang has stored thousands of kilograms of food in the governor's granary, there are more people who can't afford to eat. Leaving aside the hundreds of people under the guard who are not engaged in production.
, not counting the professional soldiers who train every day, there are thousands of ordinary new immigrants! These people all need to eat. If the Korean taxes can be collected as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the food pressure on Chiyang. The basis of all this is that the naturalized people who were born as official slaves can grow enough food!
"The little man, Ma Botong, who is from Xihe Township, has met the great master of Zhizhou. I wish the great master a long and prosperous life for generations to come!"
"Mari Tadashi, you're welcome, please get up and answer me!"
Looking at Ma Botong, a local resident of Xihe Township who was kneeling on the ground and saluting him respectfully, Liu Laoliu's originally gloomy mood couldn't help but feel relieved at this moment! The former is forty-seven years old this year, and he happens to be forty-seven this year too! However, since he joined the leader earlier and his abilities were only so-so, there was a huge difference in identity between the two! He was appreciated by the leader and became the magistrate of Tamluo Prefecture with more than ten thousand people. However, the other party, who was equally capable and proficient in some literary skills, could only succumb to himself and become a small village chief. , when you see yourself, you need to pay homage! What is this? This is power, this is vision. If he were not wearing this blue official robe, how could Ma Botong be so humble and cowardly? Haha, this feels so good! However, I felt secretly happy in my heart, but I couldn't show it at all on my face. After all, this guy was in a high position now. He was studying culture in the night literacy class run by Yan Xiaosong and Chang Jiansheng in the evening, and he began to know that being an official is a blessing. Anger should be invisible, and for the sake of winning over people's hearts, he couldn't let Uncle Ma kneel on the ground and talk to him with the same Li Chang who was walking with a cane and was trembling.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhizhou!"
Seeing Liu Laoliu step forward, using his hands to support himself, Ma Botong immediately stood up tremblingly with a rattan crutch! He did not dare to look down upon the former pirate-turned-master Zhizhou in front of him. Although this guy was polite and pleasant to him now, as long as he showed the slightest disrespect in front of him, or failed to complete what he had delivered After doing the work, this guy will immediately show another face! The latter was a pirate after all. Even though he is now a court official, he has not changed his gangster spirit at all! For this kind of person, Lao Ma actually looks down on him from the bottom of his heart!
However, as the saying goes, "People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves." No matter how much he despises this pirate-turned-Zhizhou lord in his heart, in order to make life easier in the future, he still has to pretend to be respectful on his face. Submissive look! Facts have proved that he was right in his bet. Liu Laoliu, who found a sense of superiority in himself, not only ignored Yan Xiaosong and Zhong Boyao's advice to leave him alone, but on the contrary, after he showed enough sincerity, he He quietly absorbed himself into his own power! This official position in Xihe Township is the reward for the former's knowledge and sincerity of his trust!
"Lao Ma, how do the people below respond to our policies? Are there any troubles? Also, are those old rich people honest? Have you sent someone to monitor their recent activities?"
After adjusting the warm hat on his head and brushing off the non-existent dust on his body, Liu Laoliu followed Ma Botong into the Xihe Township Office! Chiyang is different from any feudal dynasty. It will not sit back and watch the power of the squires control local affairs. The so-called imperial power does not go to the countryside is bullshit in the eyes of Kang Lin and others. The territory that I have worked so hard to build, why should I be at the mercy of others? Not to mention that this other person is a *** who is not of my race and whose heart must be different!
Therefore, at the grassroots level, Chiyang has established administrative units at the village and township levels to collect taxes and consolidate rule, and this township office is the office where official affairs are handled and orders are issued! Of course, in order not to allow one family to dominate, the Chiyang Think Tank also established the rights of household heads and elders at the township level. The former is responsible for household registration inspections and assists Li Zheng in collecting taxes, and the latter He is responsible for catching thieves and ensuring that the common people in the village live and work in peace and contentment! It is basically the ancient version of the separation of powers. Is it just the official power here? Although the profits are divided through the heads of households and elders, it is still a bit large. Chiyang's senior officials are currently planning to set up a consultation office to supervise the former's every move. , as for the personnel, they should be selected from disabled soldiers, new immigrants and old people, as well as emerging landlords and shop owners!
"Old parents, the common people of Goryeo, and the untouchables have to benefit from Chiyang's benevolent government. They are very happy in their hearts. They are still stable now, so
There are occasional conflicts, and there are elders who lead the archers to mediate, so there shouldn't be any big problems! Only this remnant of the Li family is a big worry for me, Chiyang! After all, we have deprived their land, liberated their slaves, and gathered their descendants and families into the city to serve as hostages. It is impossible for them to have no complaints against us. The reason why there is no obvious confrontation at the moment is, In the final analysis, we are just strong enough. There are reserve soldiers, archers, and strong people stationed in every village, fort, and outpost. If one day we let them look for opportunities or get assistance from the Goryeo court, these guys with different ambitions will still It may be the opposite! Therefore, in the humble opinion of my subordinates, we still have to speed up the process of disintegrating and disintegrating them, and use a large number of former officials and servants who have obtained actual benefits to isolate and suppress those two classes, middlemen, and good people..."
