Chapter 58: Great Construction

On November 3, the eighth year of Chongzhen, auspicious.

For the hungry people in the east of Dong County, today is really a good time. Starting from the morning, the rice porridge we ate is no longer the clear rice soup, but thick and pleasant porridge.

A young and strong man wearing a flax-colored leather jacket was patrolling around the tent with sticks. I heard that this group of people was named Urban Management, and the leader was named Wang Mugen. Whenever they encountered those who did not line up to grab food, they rushed up like wolves and tigers to educate them. After several unlucky rascals were beaten, the order was complete.

Wang Mugen used to recruit soldiers under Zheng Fei, the general bannerman, and was the first person to come forward to ask Fang Jingnan for money when he was making a fortune.

Because of his courage, Li Gunian asked him over from Zheng Fei and took ten former urban management team members to become the urban management team leader of the Health Department stationed in Gan County. After Li Gunian returned to Huairen, he would be responsible for the health affairs of Gan County.

The hungry people lined up, holding a small bamboo card in their hands, with the words "Sitong Trading Company" printed on it. With this small bamboo card issued early in the morning, they came to collect rice porridge so that no one could queue up repeatedly.

After three days like this, when these hungry people kowtowed and kowtowed to Dongxian every day, a young and handsome young man rode a horse to them.

At this time, the fierce urban management leader gave a salute first, and Wang Mugen said respectfully: "Greetings to Chief Fang!" Other urban management managers and the people who gave food in the tent also came out to salute.

The hungry people didn't know that this person was the one who gave them food these days. Under the name of Wang Mugen, they knelt down and said, "Greetings to Chief Fang!"

Fang Jingnan waved his hand to show that he would not give up the gift, and the people also dismounted, "Everyone got up, and I will treat the general Fang Jingnan at Yungang Fort in Xiadatong Town, so I will not be able to treat everyone with this gift."

Where can the hungry people pay attention to it? They have their own simple principles. Is it okay to have a conscience if the savior comes and doesn’t kneel down?

After a few persuasions, the hungry people's emotions have just recovered. At this time, Fang Jingnan said: "This time I come to see everyone, mainly because there is something that needs everyone's help."

He paused and said, "Everyone knows that Dong County was set on fire by Houjin last year. Many shops and residential houses inside were damaged in some ways. Anyway, there is nothing wrong recently. I want to ask everyone to help repair the houses in the city, so that everyone can work in vain. Those who help repair the houses will provide three dry meals a day to make everyone full."

Repair the house? Who can't do that?

Rural people build houses themselves, and when they work, they usually provide food by the owner, but what year is this?

When he heard about this good thing, more than half of the people immediately signed up. Fang Jingnan found Cheng Beisheng and asked him to take the lead and divide the registration into four teams, with the county government as the center, and each of the four teams in the southeast, west and northeast was responsible for one. Which team did it well, each person would be rewarded with one steamed bun.

Wang Mugen's urban management team is responsible for maintaining order in the city. Ma San organizes a carriage and is responsible for cutting or purchasing wood, stone and other materials.

The work was not heavy at the beginning, just counting the damaged houses, and then choosing those that were not damaged before repairing them. The ones that needed major repairs were placed behind them. At that time, the hungry people would be more vigorous while working while eating and eating.

If it was really burned seriously, it would be better to just remove it and not repair it. There are only four public toilets in the city now, and Fang Jingnan felt that it was not enough, so he built several toilets in these demolished places. If the place was bigger, he would build a small square.

After this, Fang Jingnan felt that when the Zhang family's children moved here, Dong County would regain its vitality.

Of course, after they came, how many people make a living was also the top priority. Zhang had some money, but the principle of living in vain was unchanged.

After Zhang Shouren brought his tribe members over, he discussed it step by step and repaired their house first.

The two problems of hungry people and house repair were solved simultaneously. Fang Jingnan was in a good mood. After they repaired the house, Fang Jingnan had other arrangements. He planned to rebuild the post station that Emperor Chongzhen had cut off and abolished. Of course, it would be very different from the post stations in the previous court.

After the matter of the hungry people was almost resolved, Li Gunian set out to go back to Huairen. Before leaving, he told Fang Jingnan that Mr. Chen asked him to go back when he had time.

The winter solstice is coming, and Fang Jingnan is planning to go back. He has to take Zhang Jingxuan to Wupinjian to talk to Ban Chao and the old forging head and the other party about the lubricating oil between the balls and the oval balls.

The three version of the carriage of the world and man is Fang Jingnan's only business killer, and it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it.

In addition, the three-month training camp in Mangzi Camp is about to end.

Fang Jingnan really felt a little overwhelmed when he was busy with everything.

The first batch of Zhang's people should arrive in a few days. Fang Jingnan needs to explain what happened here before he can return to Yungang Castle to spend the winter solstice.

In this year, the winter solstice is a very important festival, which is equivalent to the New Year. While there are still some days, Fang Jingnan quickly arranges the next thing.

Zhenbei Escort Agency, a big sign with golden characters.

Walking into it was a huge martial arts hall. There were several rows of weapons and racks on both sides of the hall, and all eighteen weapons were standing among them.

Fang Jingnan first called Zhang Zhenling, Zhang Zhenzhu and others, and a group of people walked into the spacious courtyard of Zhenbei Escort Agency.

"Sir!" Wu Shuijing had already taken Jiang Ming, Jiang Zhongyu and ten others to wait aside.

Many of them were from soldiers before, and they stood in a straight line. They ate well after coming to the escort agency, which was much better than when they were in the parody, and their bodies gradually became stronger.

However, compared to Zhang Zhenling and others who have eaten and drunk enough since childhood, the ten people picked out by the Five Elements Flag are still weaker. However, Zhang Zhenling and Zhang Zhenzhu and others have never been to the battlefield. The biggest scene is the riot a few days ago, and it is still Xinding. If both sides really want to kill, it must be Zhang Zhenling and the others who die.

After Fang Jingnan introduced that the two sides met each other, Wu Shuijing bowed and said with a grievance: "Sir, when will our escort agency be opened? Brothers are eating, drinking and working here every day. It's really a bit depressed. During this period, the village has been struggling hard. Not to mention the villages near Dai County, Brother Qingshan said that even Fanzhi County, which is further east, has the head of the family to surrender."

Fang Jingnan chuckled and said, "Why, I can't wait? Don't worry, you will be busy when the Sitong Trading Bank is operating in the future. In addition, have you figured out the rules and systems of the escort business that you asked you to inquire about?"

Lin Pingzhi's family opened an escort agency, which made Fang Jingnan always think that the escort agency in the late Ming Dynasty should be a common existence. However, after asking, few people heard about it, and occasionally some people have heard of it but can't explain it clearly.

That's why Wu Shuijing went around to inquire about the situation.

Wu Shuijing said respectfully: "Reporting to the master, you have found out clearly. Someone called the escort agency recently. It used to be called "Biaoxing" and "Changxing". It mainly helps employers transport silver goods and expensive goods. It also has some short-term tasks to protect the employer's personal safety and can also help deliver letters. After replacing it, there are six types of escorts protected by the escort agency: six types of escorts: letter escorts, ticket escorts, silver escorts, grain escorts, and human escorts."

Fang Jingnan was surprised. He didn't expect him to do it so clearly. He praised: "Yes, it seems that you can eat this bowl of rice."

Wu Shuijing smiled awkwardly and said, "I dare not praise you. I am just lucky. I met a brother who used to be a gangster in Taiyuan City. After discussing with him, I came to this conclusion." After a pause, he said, "I dare to ask you, my brother knows some tricks about the escort agency. I wonder if the young man can invite him in and work together?"

Fang Jingnan thought for a while and said, "If you meet such a hero in the world in the future, even if you recruit them, I will give you fifty places. In addition to the general escort leader, there will be five more escort leaders in the escort agency, corresponding to the specifications of the Five Elements Flag."

He paused and said, "I will give you 100 taels of silver as daily expenses. After the transaction of Sitong Trading starts, you will also need to use the silver to find your bodyguards. Then make a unified banknote."

As the situation became increasingly bigger, Fang Jingnan felt more and more that he needed a professional and reliable accountant. Zhu Yan, who had a Xingling Merit Team in the Mangkao Camp, was in chaos with Qin Bingwen and others.

Other places can be said to be a mess, all relying on self-consciousness!

Fang Jingnan thought that this thing was unreliable. Fortunately, all the leaders are now considered their own people, so it doesn’t matter if they want public instruments to use some money privately.

Wu Shuijing bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you sir!"

"Well," Fang Jingnan nodded, called Zhang Zhenling and Zhang Zhenzhu to come, and said, "This time I came here mainly to introduce you to you. In the future, your escort agency is responsible for protecting the car dealership and connecting with the people of the Five Elements Banner. On this road along the way, the inspection department is responsible for helping you inquire about all directions."

This is Fang Jingnan's idea. The Zhenbei Escort Agency is responsible for protecting the body in the convoy, while the inspection department is like a sentry, and goes back to equip them with war horses and inspect the transportation routes.

After the Sitong Trading Bank's business grows, it is impossible for only one fleet on the route. With the inspection department, it is easy to support the situation when there is a patrol.

"Ma Wu Hou!" Fang Jingnan called behind him.

"I am in a humble position!" A strong and honest figure stepped out.

After Fang Jingnan looked at the brave general, he said with satisfaction: "From today on, you will temporarily receive the position of Director of the Security Corps Inspection Department. These fifteen Zhang children will be in charge and you will train them for half a year."

Fang Jingnan pointed his finger, "At most, half a year, you must train them to take over the important tasks of the inspection department. Otherwise, you will be the director for the rest of your life!"

Zhang Zhenling and Zhang Zhenzhu are all very good officers. They have studied, are in good health, and are brave and passionate. They will never be bad if they have a good experience.

Ma Wu Hou saluted and said firmly: "Get orders!" He turned around and changed from a personal guard to a acting director of the inspection department.

Fang Jingnan couldn't help but smile. He could already guess what kind of treatment the Zhang family's children would be treated next.

Zhang Shouyong of the Black Flag Army is their uncle, so he will naturally not be too ruthless in his actions. Ma Wu Hou is merciless to his family, so he will naturally not have a good face when facing these new recruits.

After thinking about it, Fang Jingnan explained: "Uh... don't just kill me."

Zhang Zhenling and Zhang Zhenzhu were already a little nervous. Along the way, Ma Wu Hou never had a look on his face. Now, when he heard Fang Jingnan's advice, his heart trembled even more.

Don't just kill me, that's what it means, as long as you don't die, it's fine?

An unknown premonition also fell on them. However, they were the best group of Zhang's family after all. In the previous battle to protect the clan, three people died bravely in the riot.

For the rise of the family, they can accept all challenges!

With his head raised and his chest raised, Zhang Zhenling and others said in unison: "Sir, please respect me!"

Fang Jingnan waved his hand, "Do it well, you are all masters who can wear Yang in a hundred steps, so you will definitely do it!"

Zhang Zhending bragged about the hundred steps of wearing Yang, and the fruit fell on these brothers. Amid the laughter, Fang Jingnan stepped away.

Before leaving, he had one of the most important things to solve, which was Wen Chaoyi, who had been locked up for several days.

The most important person in the future!
