Chapter 179 Dad Wang, hurry up and sign this "Treaty of Fatherly Kindness and Sonly Filial Piety"! (Please subscribe, please vote monthly)

Stealing your seat from me? Are you afraid that Sun Jiqing will turn into Wang Jiqing and steal your seat as the heir to the Wang family? But it seems really possible!

Wang Zhongxiao thought of this and said to Dai Zi: "Wen Kai, we must pay close attention to the imitation of flintlock guns. How much does it cost to make a flintlock gun? Have you calculated it?"

"It costs at least five taels of silver to carry a spear. If mass-produced, the cost may be reduced."

"Tell the craftsmen below that if the goods are delivered within three months and the quality is up to standard, I will give you fifteen taels!" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "After these three months, the price will no longer be available! If you want to make more money,

Just work hard!"

Dai Zi was stunned, "Fifteen taels? Three months? Is it that urgent?"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "Why are you not in a hurry? The peaceful days of Guangdong and Guangxi will not last long. Didn't you listen to my eldest brother? The emperor has made my third brother Sun Jiqing the king of Dingnan! He became the king of Dingnan, and Kong

Auntie, why don't you urge my father to march into Guangxi? The war is about to begin! When the war breaks out, it would be good to have one more flintlock gun! This kind of flintlock gun is easy to master, and it can be used as a short spear after the spear is attached.

It can be used for melee combat, and it can also be used in close formations.

If we can have 5,000 troops, then our rural soldiers from the three counties can be used as the new army of the two associations!"

Wang Zhongxiao is now building the rural soldiers of the three counties as his own basic armed forces. Although the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui are not poor places to produce elite soldiers, but because these three counties are right under his nose, and they still exist

There is a large amount of abandoned fertile land that can be distributed (wasted due to coastal relocation), so the difficulty of carrying out land equalization reform in these three counties is relatively low.

In addition, Wang Zhongxiao could obtain a large number of cadres from the Reform School and the Jingwu School, so the equalization of land in the three counties went relatively smoothly. By the turn of spring and summer in the eleventh year of Kangxi, the equalization of land in the three counties had been basically completed.

The big landowners who should move have already left or are preparing to move. The big landowners who agreed to move to Hao'ao are packing up their properties and sending people to build houses in Hao'ao. Those who don't agree to move are mostly suppressed or run away.

The road went to Guangzhou.

The inland fertile land that needed to be redistributed was also divided, and dozens of township capitals were established. "Du" was a local administrative unit that was higher than villages and lower than counties during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

One "capital" manages about ten villages. In the Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning areas, one person in charge of about ten villages can have almost a thousand households or more than ten thousand people.

The basic level of the administrative system established by Wang Zhongxiao in the three counties is also located in the "du". That is to say, each "du" has a "capital chief", a township army officer, and an accountant. These three are the branches.

In addition, there are some rural soldiers who take turns to serve in the "city". They don't need to be paid, and they just take care of the food.

Above the capital is the county, and one county governs more than a dozen capitals. Above the three counties is the Guangdong Customs Road led by Wang Zhongxiao himself - now Wang Zhongxiao is a small lord of the three counties.

The villages below the capital generally live together as a group and are autonomous, but the degree of autonomy varies.

Some of these villages practice clan farming together. These clans can often keep their own land, and there is no need to share the land. Therefore, these villages are all "minor households" and there are no rural soldiers.

Some villages were divided into families, so the cohesion was not strong, and the land gradually fell into the hands of gentry like "Master Huang". Wang Zhongxiao's people carried out "equal land" there, and some of the equal land was vested.

Interested parties, thus having rural soldiers and households who can be driven by the "capital" above, are the basis for the "three-county political power" to govern the inland areas of the three counties.

There are also some clans who moved in from coastal areas. They are the most miserable. Not only do they have no land, but they also have to rent it at a high price - because they have no relationship with the owner of the land. If they want to rent land, they will naturally have to pay for it.

Offer a high price.

Therefore, these people naturally became the main force of the rural soldiers in the three counties. The townships composed of them would gradually move back to their hometowns along the coast and regain their own land. Because everyone participated in the equalization of land, and every day

Each family received more than fifteen acres of land (both thirty acres), so every family was a rural soldier household! Wang Zhongxiao's three-county government certainly had the most powerful control over them, and their loyalty to Wang Zhongxiao was

Also the highest!

The main force of the rural soldiers in the three counties was this group of people. They also hated the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Pingnan Wang Shang family the most!

Now Wang Zhongxiao is eager to build and obtain flintlock guns, also to arm these enemies of the Lao Shang family.

"I understand, I'm going to urge the craftsmen to rush to work." Dai Zi naturally understood the current situation, so he didn't say anything more. He bowed, turned around and left Wang Zhongxiao's office.

As soon as he went out, Wang Jizhen frowned and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Second brother, what do you call Sun Jiqing and Kong Sizhen?"

"Isn't Sun Jiqing our third brother?" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Although Aunt Zhen has never been married, she and our father have slept together for a long time. It's not an exaggeration to call her aunt, right?"

"Second brother, are you really not worried about Sun Jiqing, a bastard, taking over the seat left by our father?" Wang Jizhen was still a little anxious, "Our father can have 40,000 troops. Although he now occupies Zhaoqing, Luoding and Luoding.

And the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui, but in the future, maybe it will be the master of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

Counting the "three county soldiers" pulled up by Wang Zhongxiao, Wang Fuchen's strength can indeed be as strong as that of Guangdong and Guangxi, so Wang Jizhen, the eldest son of the Wang family, has long been eyeing the throne of the leader of Guangdong and Guangxi!

However, except for the title of heir to the royal family, he now has nothing, and his heart is naturally empty. Of course he felt uneasy when he saw Sun Jiqing being crowned king.

"Brother," Wang Zhongxiao looked at his elder brother and said with a smile, "ten sheep in sight are not as good as one sheep in hand. Your reserves in Guangdong and Guangxi are not as good as my three counties and one pass!"

Wang Jizhen became a little anxious when her brother said this, "Second brother, we are from the same mother. Sun Jiqing is the son of Kong Sizhen! If he gets the position of the leader of Guangdong and Guangxi, your three counties will not be able to pass a single pass.

May be saved!"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry. What I mean is that you don't always focus on the Guangdong and Guangxi reserves, it's too ambitious! You have to focus on more practical things, such as territory and the army!"

"Territory and the army?" Wang Jizhen was now interested. "Second brother, I also know that the territory and the army are good, but where can I get the territory and the army? I am different from you. I am a scholar. I don't know how to rob.

Territory, seize the army!"

"I can help you!" Wang Zhongxiao patted his chest, "We are brothers, born to the same mother!"

"How can I help?" Wang Jizhen laughed - isn't this the purpose of coming to Haoao?

This brother is indeed a reliable boy born from a mother!

"Let's build a mansion for you first!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "How about Leizhou Prefecture? Although Leizhou Prefecture only has three counties and a small population, Shang Kexi moved them to Gaozhou Prefecture to starve and be poor. But Leizhou Prefecture

It has been an important sea trade town since ancient times, and it is close to Qiongzhou. As long as Leizhou is managed well, in the future we will be able to cross Leiqiong's second mansion and become the Southern Overlord!"

"Nan Batian?" Wang Jizhen said: This name of Nan Batian doesn't sound like a good person!

But it’s better than nothing!

"Second brother, how can I, Nan Batian, become the leader?" Wang Jizhen asked, "This Leizhou Mansion seems to be Zu Zeqing's territory. How about you help me fight it?"

"Fight?" Wang Zhongxiao frowned, "Brother, you can't always take what's ready. You have to work hard to build the territory yourself! I can help a little, but you have to provide the main strength yourself."

"Me? How can I beat Zu Zeqing?" Wang Jizhen's eyes widened, "He is Zu Dashou's son, and he has a lot of veterans from Guan Ning!"

"Who asked you to go and fight?" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "You can't have a good talk with him? Can't you ask him to let Gao, Lei and Lian out of the three states?"

"Give it up?" Wang Jizhen almost got angry at her brother, "Why should we give it up? The territory of the Three Prefectures. Why should he give it up to us?"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "Just because Wu Shifan is my brother-in-law!"

"Wu Shifan," Wang Jizhen's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, "Oh! Second brother, how could I forget him? Wu Shilin is already dead, and he will be the future great-grandson of the Wu family!"

"That's right!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "Let's keep an eye on Guangdong and Guangxi, but Zu Zeqing can keep an eye on the world! If the old Wu family wins the world, Wu Shifan will be the future emperor. He must be able to protect the emperor as he goes north to Hunan and the land of the Three Prefectures

So what if we just leave it to us?"

"Boss," Wang Zhongxiao said again, "please work hard and go to Maoming to negotiate with Gao, Lei and Lian. This will be a great achievement!"

"Wait a minute, I'll take one of the three mansions we talked about?" Wang Jizhen was a little unhappy again.

"Of course that's not enough!" Wang Zhongxiao thought for a while, "I still have to ask for a share. Brother, how about this, let's go to Zhaoqing together to talk to our father about dividing the family business!

"

"Divide the family property?" Wang Jizhen frowned, "How? What to divide?"

Wang Zhongxiao said: "Of course we divide the army and divide our father's real estate. What's the point of dividing the farm? I don't want it, I'll give it all to you!"

There is no one else with this style!

The big houses in the Second Ring Road of Beijing and the manors in Haidian and Yuyuantan are all gone. They will be worth their money in the 21st century!

"I don't want it either!" Wang Jizhen said, "Second brother, tell me, how will the territory of this army be divided?"

This guy’s style is also very high!

Wang Zhongxiao said: "Boss, we don't want to take more of this territory. If we take too much, we won't be able to eat it! It's enough for you to take Leizhou Prefecture. At most, you can add Wuchuan and Dianbai counties in Gaozhou. I want another one from Zhaoqing."

Yangjiang. In this way, our two brothers can capture nine coastal counties. If we add Xin'an, it will be ten coastal counties.

However, we must participate in the equalization of land in Gaozhou Prefecture and Zhaoqing Prefecture. Only by participating in land equalization can we get enough people to settle in these coastal states and counties. Each township has at least two to three hundred rural soldiers. The two of us can get two to three hundred soldiers.

Hundreds of coastal towns, that’s tens of thousands of soldiers!"

"Tens of thousands of rural soldiers. Good, good!" Wang Jizhen nodded repeatedly.

Wang Zhongxiao then added: "We can also score some points with our father's army. He now has elite soldiers from the Three Associations in the town! Next, he will reorganize Kong Sizhen's troops, and it is estimated that he can draw out elite soldiers from the Four Associations. In the future, these four associations can work together

Divide it into two and form two towns. Let's take one together and give the other to my father and Kong Sizhen, and pass it on to the third child in the future."

"Pass it to the third child." Wang Jizhen thought for a moment, "Then the third child won half of our father's army, didn't he? Isn't that more?"

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head, "Brother, it would be great if our father can agree to this condition. Don't be too ambitious!"

"That's right!" Wang Jizhen pondered for a moment, "Can our father agree? He is now confused by Kong Sizhen!"

"Yes!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Aunt Kong must be eager to fight back to Guangxi now. Guangxi is the vassal territory of her son Sun Jiqing! If we can help her fight back, can she speak for us?"

"Then what if our father agrees now and goes back on his word in the future?" Wang Jizhen asked again.

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said: "Then let him create a written certificate for us!"

"Creating written evidence? Is this appropriate?"

"It's appropriate. Father and son, let's settle the accounts clearly!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "If I offer Wu Shifan, if you go to lobby Zu Zeqing, just give him a piece of paper. Will he still agree?"
