Chapter 89 Alternative Work-for-Relief
A few days later, Zheng Yi received the battle report.
This battle report was written by four people.
One person is Wang Anshi.
The two are Miao Xiu.
The three of them are Chen Wannian.
The fourth person is a shadow guard hidden in the army.
There are two groups of mysterious people hidden around Chen Wannian, Miao Xiu and Shi Heilang.
One group is the Jinyi Guards. Their mission on the surface is to monitor the movements of the army, but secretly they hide their identities for the second group.
Shadow Guard.
Every general sent out has one to three Shadow Guards under his command.
The purpose is very simple, just to monitor the generals who are out fighting.
Once the generals make any changes or become disobedient, the Shadow Guards will take action, secretly assassinate the outgoing generals, and then take over the army with an imperial edict.
These four battle reports all record the inexplicable and sudden death of Huang Wa'er, the leader of the Yongzhou rebels.
It turned out that when the rebellion occurred, Wang Anshi, an official in Yanchang County, had already noticed it and wanted to stop it.
Unfortunately, after digging into the root causes of the drought and civil unrest in Yanchang County, he was unable to solve it in a short time.
With no choice, he could only summon a group of officers and soldiers to protect himself.
Sure enough, on the first day of July, the rebellion broke out. The mob captured the government office and killed all the officials.
But Wang Anshi escaped because he was well prepared.
He secretly hid among the rioters and escaped quietly while the rioters were besieging Chang'an Mansion. He went all the way north and contacted Tian Wenjing, the official minister, who was in charge of digging the Canglong River Grand Canal, and Lu Lian, a fellow Jinyiwei officer.
After some discussion between the three of them, Wang Anshi, in particular, had been hiding among the rioters in the past few months and had some understanding of the situation of the rioters.
Under his strong push, Tian Wenjing and Lu Lian also gritted their teeth and agreed.
They sent 300 elite soldiers and ten Jinyi guards under the leadership of Wang Anshi, quietly sneaked into the chaos and returned to Huang Wa'er's army.
One day.
While Huang Wa'er, coercing the army, continued to besiege Chang'an Mansion, and the entire rebel camp was sound asleep, he rode directly into the military camp.
More than 300 people set fire everywhere in the rebel camp. The raging fire spread to most of the camp, and the burning rebels cried for their fathers and mothers.
Taking advantage of this turmoil, Wang Anshiqin led more than 30 elite soldiers into Huang Waer's army.
In panic, Huang Wa'er's soldiers were directly dispersed by the elite soldiers led by Wang Anshi.
Huang Wa'er was also beheaded by Wang Anshi himself.
It wasn't until late at night that the people in the Chang'an Prefecture discovered the commotion here, and sent out troops to beat up the drowned dogs, and wiped out Huang Wa'er's army, the largest rioter in Yongzhou.
In one night, more than 30,000 people were killed, and their own losses were negligible. At the same time, they also captured tens of thousands of people and countless supplies of food, grass and baggage.
The thieves chief was awarded the title, and the Yongzhou rebels changed their previous movements and were chased and suppressed by the officers and soldiers.
The army led by Chen Wannian, Miao Xiu, and Shi Heilang has joined forces with Chang'an Prefecture soldiers to carry out the rebellion.
After this battle, the Yongzhou rebel army was like a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump around for a few days.
"Hahaha, Wang Anshi, not bad, not bad, he is indeed the person I like!"
Zheng Yi laughed loudly. Among the three Enke first-class players in this session, Wang Anshi performed the best.
Li Ziyang...has died in the rebel army, which is really a pity.
The performance of the top pick Cui Xiazhao is also remarkable.
When Wang Anshi led his troops into the rebel camp, there was a huge commotion at the beginning, but many officials in the Chang'an Mansion were timid, fearing that it was a plot by the rebel army.
The angry Cui Xiazhao cursed many officials, saying that the rebels were all idiots, so how could they have any plans?
Moreover, even if it’s a trick, there’s no need to burn down your own camp!
Later, under Cui Xiazhao's coercion and inducement, he even carried his old man out, and finally persuaded the officials of Chang'an Prefecture to send county soldiers to attack the rebel camp.
Otherwise, Wang Anshi and others may not be able to survive.
It's a pity that 310 people stepped into the formation, and only 27 people survived!
After reading the battle report, Zheng Yi couldn't help but feel excited and praised these twenty-seven people.
Liu Chengen was immediately ordered to write: "The horses trample the people, these twenty-seven people are loyal and righteous people!"
"Pass the decree, each of these twenty-seven people will be rewarded with a hundred acres of land and a hundred taels of silver. The reward for the fallen colleagues will be doubled, and the official will be promoted to the third level!"
"No!"
"Wang Anshi is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness, and Cui Xiazhao is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery. I will temporarily keep him in the Yongzhou army as a long-term history. After the Yongzhou rebellious people are pacified, I will have my own reward!"
"No!"
Liu Chengen hurried down to convey the order, and someone from the Ministry of Industry asked to see him.
"Wei Chen, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Kuang Zheng has met Your Majesty!"
"My dear, please rise. What's important?"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's prompts, our officials have developed the latest jacquard machine, whose weaving efficiency is more than ten times that of the previous ordinary handlooms!"
"And the operation is simple. A skilled person can learn it in half a day, which is very convenient."
Zheng Yi's eyes lit up and he said: "Well done, everyone will be rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
During this period of time, the people in Yongzhou were causing chaos, and Zheng Yi was not idle either.
According to his speculation, perhaps because of the Little Ice Age, the entire Yu Dynasty was just like the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, with constant natural and man-made disasters.
The reason is that the land annexation was too serious, and a large number of people had no land to plant or food to eat, so they had to embark on the path of rebellion.
In the past two or three years, the intelligence collected by Zheng Yi through Jin Yiwei all over Dayu showed that many changes had suddenly occurred in Dayu's environment.
Binzhou, Qingzhou, Yongzhou and other places that were previously dry have experienced several heavy rains in the past two years, and floods in the south have become less frequent.
In many places, people were originally unable to survive, but unexpectedly, geographical food production suddenly increased a little.
In addition, Zheng Yi has been supporting disaster relief, and many refugees have stopped rebelling after having a piece of food to eat.
Zheng Yi guessed that it might be related to the five innate auras!
The nourishment of innate spiritual energy can not only increase Dayu's spiritual energy content, but also adjust Dayu's sky and resist the Little Ice Age.
It makes the whole world warmer, with more rain, climate warming, and natural disasters greatly reduced.
If the refugees can survive and have food to eat, they will not rebel again.
How to deal with so many victims has become a worry for Zheng Yi.
After thinking about it, I could only think of two ways: discussing the crime field and providing work-for-relief.
The crime plan had already been implemented, and apart from using work as relief for the Grand Canal, Zheng Yi set his sights on business.
In other words, planned economy and large state-owned factories!
Zheng Yi asked again: "Where are the other things?"
"Return to Your Majesty." Kuang Zhengren said: "The cement, glass, soap, refined salt, spirits and other items requested by Your Majesty have all been successfully developed. Only perfume has not yet been successfully developed."
"However, I already have a lot of experience. It can be successfully developed in half a month at most!"
"Very good!"
Zheng Yi said with satisfaction.
He has some memory of how to make these things, but he is not proficient in them.
It doesn't matter, he is not proficient, there are many people.
He only needs to tell the key steps to make these items, and people from the Ministry of Industry can always develop them after a lot of long-term research.
Zheng Yi continued: "People continue to build factories outside the city, and at the same time recruit refugees, teach them relevant production knowledge, and temporarily provide them with accommodation and food."
"These refugees will be my employees in the future, so we must not neglect them."
"No!"
"Go down."
Cement, glass, soap, spirits, refined salt, etc. are all the methods he came up with for the purpose of "relief through work".
If he traveled through time and became an ordinary person, if he developed these things, sooner or later some powerful forces would eat them up.
But now that he is the emperor, who dares to touch him?
Zhengyong five years, August 20th.
The first cement chemical plant of Dayu was established, with an initial batch of more than 1,200 employees.
It can produce 200 tons of cement every day.
These cements will be used first for the construction of factories, workers’ dormitories, and roads in the ‘Dayu First Special Economic Zone’.
Zhengyong five years, August 21st.
The Dayu Royal Chamber of Commerce was established, with Zheng Yi as the president, and Queen Lu Lin'er, Duan Fei Xu Qingluan, and De Fei Li Changle as vice presidents.
On the day of its establishment, the Dayu Royal Chamber of Commerce's main store was established in Yongxingfang in the south of the capital, and countless subjects gathered around to watch.
Dayu Royal Chamber of Commerce was also established by Zheng Yi himself.
The purpose is threefold.
First, sell high-end products made in its own factories.
Such as soap, wine, perfume, gold and silver products, etc.
He plans to develop the Dayu Royal Chamber of Commerce into a high-end luxury goods chamber of commerce in the world, and will receive all the royal relatives and aristocratic families.
Only they can be willing to spend money to buy so many luxury goods.
In the early days, I might have supported it a little for the sake of the royal family.
But as time goes by, and the Propaganda Department under his control promotes all day long, it is only a matter of time before the Dayu Royal Chamber of Commerce becomes synonymous with luxury goods.
The second is to give the women in the harem something to do.
The reason why there are constant riots in the harem is mostly because of idleness, except for Zheng Yi!
As long as you find something to do for them, the energy of this group of people fighting secretly will be greatly reduced.
Mahjong, playing cards, aroma and other toys have this effect.
The same is true for the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
For example, after Duan Fei Xu Qingluan became the vice president of Dayu Royal Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Yi gave her the position of factory director.
Of course, the official affairs are still managed by the eunuchs and people from the Ministry of Works.
Every now and then I have to go out for a patrol.
Everyone's interests are different. Xu Qingluan and Li Changle like their careers, but Queen Lu Lin'er has always liked to stay in the harem and manage many concubines.
He didn't bother to talk to her, just liked it.
As for Concubine Cui, she has been practicing in Jiaofang Hall, and Zheng Yi often stays in Jiaofang Hall.
The cultivation level of the two people increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhengyong five years, August 25th.
The first glass products factory in Dayu was established, with an initial batch of more than 800 employees.
In the fifth year of Zhengyong, on the first day of September, Zhao Suling advanced to the innate level.
Zheng Yi held a celebration ceremony for Zhao Suling in Bai Yujing. More than a thousand people attended to congratulate him. The news spread throughout Dayu very quickly.
Zhengyong five years, the second day of September.
The first soap factory in Dayu was established with an initial batch of more than 700 employees.
In the early days, the only product produced was soap, but it caused a sensation in the capital, and countless people rushed to buy the soap.
Dayu soap is divided into three different grades.
Ordinary soap, made from ordinary oils and fats, sold for five cents and was aimed at the common people. Unfortunately, sales were poor, with only more than 80 soaps sold on the first day.
Top-grade soaps are made from oils and fragrant powders and are priced at a reasonable price. They are suitable for ordinary businessmen and well-off families.
Fine soaps are made from oils, powders, and special essential oils. They sell for three taels of silver. They are targeted at aristocratic families and big businessmen, and sales are booming.
A few days later, Zheng Yi made some changes and dumped all the ordinary soaps to the merchants and let them sell them.
The Royal Chamber of Commerce only sells top-grade and fine soaps to supply the rich and wealthy and the children of aristocratic families.
In the fifth year of Zhengyong, it is the tenth day of September.
The concubine Miao Yuesheng was pregnant, and Miao Xiu from Yongzhou presented her with five tiger skins, seventeen snow fox skins, and ten thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotuses, as gifts of gold and silver.
Zhengyong five years, September 15th.
Dayu No. 1 Winery was established with an initial staff of more than 1,600 people.
It could produce one thousand tons of spirits every day, and it became popular throughout the capital that day.
Officials and wealthy merchants all use this strong wine to receive guests, and it is known as "Zhengyong Liquor" and "Royal Liquor"!
All the fine wines produced by the winery every day are snapped up by large restaurants, royals, and aristocratic families in the city, and demand exceeds supply.
In the fifth year of Zhengyong, it is the first day of October.
Greater than the first textile factory was established, with an initial staff of more than 3,800 people.
Except for the more than 200 strong transport personnel at the beginning, the remaining personnel were all women.
Zhengyong five years, October 30th.
The first perfume factory of Dayu was established.
On that day, after the first batch of perfume left the factory, it immediately detonated the entire harem and the capital.
