Chapter 112 His Majesty is eyeing you
Fang Jun understands the importance of management for efficiency.
The Baojia Law forms the basic unit structure, which will naturally be very convenient for both management and production in the future.
There is no place to live in Fangjiawan, and these victims will still have to stay here until spring.
Although eating and sleeping in the open is still unavoidable, the mental outlook of the victims is completely different. The common people are not afraid of hardship and can endure hardship. As long as they are given a hope to survive, they will endure the hardships of life to the maximum extent, just to protect that glimmer of visible light.
Food is continuously transported from the city of Chang'an to the farms on the mountains, and special personnel will arrange the delivery of rice and porridge every day. Most of this food was the savings of the Fang government, and many dandy men sent it to support Fang Jun. Even His Majesty Li Er gave a lot of it, which made Fang Jun very emotional. My uncle is pretty good...
Of course, you can't eat for free.
With so many people gathering together and having nothing to do after they are full, how can anything good be done?
Besides, Fang Jun didn't intend to raise these people in vain.
The victims were organized according to Baojia. Under the arrangement of the farm manager, some dug through the permafrost to dig out the mountains to obtain soil and bake bricks and tiles; some dug up fine and soft kaolin clay and hoarded it for firing porcelain and refractory clay in the spring. Materials; some cut down trees and open mountains, and intercept the wood for building houses...
If you have food to eat, you will have enough enthusiasm.
The entire Fangjiawan neighborhood is like a large construction site, with thousands of disaster victims working in turns. Because of the advanced management system, it is actually very orderly, busy and not chaotic.
Occasionally, those who commit adultery will be "kidnapped" by Li Siwen and forced to join the "caravan guard". At first, these people didn't care. Why didn't they just stay there? You don’t have to work in the cold wind, you still have food to eat, so your life shouldn’t be too leisurely.
But soon, they discovered that they were wrong, but it was too late...
Since it is a "caravan guard", it must have a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
How is combat effectiveness formed?
Fang Jun doesn't understand, but he has his own theory, which is - practice!
Strong soldiers are made by fighting and training, so Fang Jun pieced together the training methods he knew in his previous life and summarized them into a thick booklet, euphemistically called - "Guarding the Caravan" Cao Dian"......
Thus, the tragic life of the caravan began.
Standing in military posture, walking forward, cross-country with heavy loads, obstacle march, push-ups, sit-ups, gathering in the middle of the night, armed swimming...
Once the stipulated training tasks are not completed, they will be scolded and not allowed to eat, or whipped and corporally punished. The smooth people who guard the caravan complain endlessly and regret it.
Fang Jun was very satisfied with this.
These guys are not afraid of trouble and dare to cause trouble. They usually run rampant in the countryside and no one dares to provoke them. They are all cunning and brave people. If they can be trained, their "destructive power" will definitely be higher than that of the regular army, and they will definitely be of great use in the future.
Fang Jun was sitting in the farm, strategizing and winning ten miles away. Under his command, thousands of people were fighting for a better life in the future. Not to mention the sense of accomplishment. At night, I hugged Wu Meiniang and touched each other. Although I didn’t reach the sword and shoes, my ecstasy was enough to make a hero short of breath...
Unfortunately, the beautiful life ended abruptly with a letter from Fang Xuanling.
********
The Fang family was born in Qizhou, Shandong Province. Except for Fang Xuanling who moved this branch to Chang'an because he followed His Majesty Li Er in his early years, the ancestral lineage of the old house is all in his hometown.
Fang Xuanling's parents died early, leaving him with only one biological brother, who was more than ten years older than Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling was taken care of by his elder brother when he was young, and the brothers had a deep affection for each other.
Yesterday evening, an urgent letter from my hometown entered Chang'an City despite the wind and snow, and was delivered to the house.
When Fang Xuanling saw it, he was filled with grief and burst into tears.
But his brother was critically ill, and his nephew sent someone to deliver a letter, hoping that Fang Xuanling could come home to see him one last time.
Fang Xuanling really wanted to go back, but the disaster situation in Guanzhong has not eased much at the moment, and countless disaster relief matters are waiting for his disposal. How can he escape? These matters have always been arranged by himself. If he changes people rashly, he will inevitably lose control of the affairs, delay the disaster, and interfere with national affairs for the sake of family affairs. Fang Xuanling cannot do it.
Furthermore, since the beginning of winter, he has been in poor health, often infected with wind and cold, and is old and frail. After traveling such a long distance, I am afraid that he will have to pay for his old life. There is no way that Mrs. Lu will allow it.
The eldest son, Fang Yizhi, had left for Qinghe three days ago to celebrate the birthday of his wife, Du's grandmother.
At home, only Fang Jun, who was still at the farm outside the city, could leave.
Fang Xuanling immediately wrote a letter and ordered his servant to take it with him, so that Fang Jun could set off immediately to represent himself in Qizhou, Shandong.
Fang Xuanling didn't know how she felt about her second son.
The first fifteen years were very nerve-wracking. This bastard had no knowledge and no strength, but he had a wooden head and a sheep temper... He had suffered countless losses and dared not speak out. His personality was obviously inversely proportional to his physical strength.
If it were in the past, Fang Xuanling would rather let her third child, Fang Yize, go to Qizhou than let Fang Jun go. This child is not easy to worry about...
But now, Fang Xuanling is not too worried.
Recently, this guy suddenly changed his temper.
His Royal Highness, who has a strong personality and is not afraid of violence, will fight whenever he wants, so he won't suffer any loss. However, the troubles are getting bigger and bigger every time. Even His Majesty has many dissatisfaction, but it's just because of his own. For the sake of my old face, I don’t care about it.
The most bizarre thing is that this child got the glass method from nowhere. Although it has not been sold to the public, it is definitely a skill that can be used by a wealthy country. Fang Xuanling even suspected that the "artifact that can summon a rainbow" is a glass product. , it’s just that Fang Jun refused to admit it.
Fang Xuanling was slightly ashamed of this child, due to a request from His Majesty Li Er.
Fang Xuanling has followed His Majesty Li Er for many years and knows very well about His Majesty's ambitions and ideals. It is His Majesty's long-cherished wish to unify the world and bring peace to the world!
Therefore, it is inevitable to use troops against Goguryeo.
What an honor it would be if the great deeds that the emperors of all generations had never accomplished could be accomplished in the hands of His Majesty?
Similarly, Fang Xuanling, who was the Minister of Public Affairs and the Prime Minister of the dynasty, knew more clearly what were the obstacles that restricted His Majesty's expedition to Goguryeo.
It’s nothing more than military spending!
It has been twenty years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but it has been slowly moving forward in peace and chaos. Liu Heitai, Song Jingang, Wang Shichong... all the heroes were given the title. They fought against the Turks, conquered Tuyuhun, defeated Gaochang, conquered Yanqi, and conquered Qiuci. The Western Region was shocked and the trade routes between China and the West were restored. Behind the seemingly glorious achievements is a huge loss of national power.
If we go by the current national strength, it will take at least five years before we can muster the power to attack Goryeo.
At this moment, the appearance of glass attracted His Majesty Li Er's attention.
Such an ingenious artifact must be able to accumulate a large amount of money in a short period of time, so His Majesty Li Er ordered Fang Xuanling to secretly audit the value of this artifact.
Fang Xuanling's audit also gave His Majesty Li Er a shot in the arm!
No less than 500,000 yuan per year!
How much tax did Datang pay in a year?
There is no doubt that nationalizing the law of glass is a must.
Fang Xuanling was an upright person and never cared about things outside of himself, but after all, the glass was made by his son. It was a bit outrageous that his father helped the emperor to steal his son's things.
So he couldn't say anything. If this coward got stubborn, where would he put his face? We can only wait for an opportunity, and Fang Jun has to hold his nose and admit it...
On the other hand, Fang Xuanling also knew that His Majesty would not treat his Erlang badly.
But after all, Fang Xuanling is a father, and it is his duty to fight for his son's interests as much as possible. Based on Fang Jun's usual performance, His Majesty went above and beyond to grant him a noble title. However, if Fang Jun performed better, he might be able to obtain a position of real power.
His title must be inherited by his eldest brother. Although Erlang has a royal family, he can't live his whole life just waiting to die, right?
Therefore, Fang Xuanling asked Fang Jun to go to Qizhou.
As long as I show a prudent attitude along the way, I will have an excuse to seek more compensation from His Majesty... (End of Chapter)
