On the third day after inspecting the Military Equipment House, Xu Changqing rushed to Qi Dashan and the others for more than 100 people.

Among them, there are twenty old craftsmen of blacksmiths, as well as their sons, nephews, and apprentices, all of whom were transferred from the Cold Weapon Workshop.

The rest are all young people, all clever people selected by Xu Changqing from many craftsmen. They will become new apprentices in the firearm workshop.

With the experience of No. 60 or 70 blacksmiths, Qi Dashan and their efficiency will definitely increase greatly.

However, in this era, craftsmanship is confidential and is the guarantee of survival. It is basically "passing on men but not women", and it is basically impossible to spread it.

Xu Changqing also found a breakthrough after careful consideration of this.

That is to let Qi Dashan and other veterans invest in technology and share their share.

For each qualified bird gun, Qi Dashan has a share of two cents of silver, and other craftsmen also have one cent and half cents.

This may not seem to be much at first glance, but as soon as the quantity increases, the income is quite considerable.

Qi Dashan and the others are not stupid, so they naturally know what this means.

Soon, this technical barrier was broken, and the people in the firearm workshop were filled with hearts and vowed to do a big fight.

At the same time, Xu Changqing also selected twenty strong women, joined the firearm workshop, and began to develop gunpowder.

Now Xu Changqing's manpower is still short of staff, and the main force in Liaodong has not come yet.

After careful inspection of the camp, Xu Changqing found that there was indeed a lack of strong laborers, but there were many strong women.

It was obviously a pity that these laborers were wasted. When they heard that Xu Changqing gave them eight coins of lunar silver, the strong women were so happy that they joined without hesitation.

This has led to the first batch of dual-working families appearing in the camp, and they have begun to become well-off.

Firearm workshops are gradually becoming more worry-free.

As the end of the first month of the year approached, as the weather gradually began to ease, the Xiaomashan Quarry located in the southeast of the camp was officially opened, including the brick kiln entering the formal preparation stage, and the land distribution affairs were officially launched, Xu Changqing was completely busy becoming a gyro.

Even with Yang Zhongliang and Uncle Zhong and others assisted, Xu Changqing still needs to do a lot of things here.

Originally, Xu Changqing didn't want to use stone. After all, stone was heavy and expensive. In the era when there was no reinforced concrete, this was actually a waste. It was not as strong as expected, far less than bricks, and it was cheap.

But after several meetings with Yang Zhongliang, Uncle Zhong, Uncle Hong, Uncle Guang and others, Xu Changqing was defeated.

Due to geographical location, Xu Changqing's camp not only needs to build a sea transport terminal, but also a river transport terminal, including building a flood control dam!

Although the Ming Dynasty has been mostly drought in recent years and the Daqing River looks gentle, they found that the disasters in the Daqing River are frequent after checking the information.

Water and fire are ruthless.

The flood is not a joke.

Xu Changqing didn't want to build a camp with great effort, and then he was suddenly back to before liberation by a flood.

This requires quarry!

Of course, the stones near Tiemenguan are basically worthless granite and bluestone, and they are all small stones of average quality. Xu Changqing's subordinates now have stonemasons, and there are enough slaves to work, so there is not a big problem for the time being.

But the land problem is a real headache.

My mother, Yang, sold all the Xu family's industries and came here with Xu Changqing. Even though the Xu family's industries will sooner or later fall into Xu Changqing's hands, at least this thing is still one code at present.

Xu Changqing must guarantee the interests of the Xu family.

Including many men under his command.

Unfortunately, there is land now but no one is born. Including Zhu Youqian before, there were not enough tenants, and many of them were in a state of abandonment.

Even if everyone has already planned the land division matters, it is still impossible for this year's spring plowing to catch up!

Especially the children under Xu Changqing's command, most of their families are in Liaodong, and it will take at least March and April to come here, which is the best estimate.

Conservative estimates, July and August,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Even in August and September, they can all come here.

This also made Xu Changqing understand that he could not implement the self-cultivation farming system at present, and he still had to focus on a similar company system.

Otherwise, it is impossible to move forward.

Xu Changqing is indeed not good at farming, but Xu Changqing is very good at running a business.

Leave the matter of land division to Yang Zhongliang and Zhong Shu, Xu Changqing is only responsible for the general direction and final review, and focuses more energy on the construction of the army and the environment.

...

In a flash, February has passed.

After more than a month of construction, the camp has basically looked like a city. Of course, it is just a contour, and the sewer project has not been completed.

After more than a month of preparation, Xu Changqing's fleet to Hao'ao was finally ready.

The fleet consists of five large sand ships, two fast ships escorts, warriors, and sailors, with more than 600 people, and brought together 50,000 taels of silver that had been pieced together!

Xu Changqing originally wanted to go there in person, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up the idea. He really couldn't leave the camp.

Instead, Uncle Zhong led the team himself, Ergou and Zhao Qiliang led 200 troops to assist.

But this is obviously far from enough.

Not to mention that Xu Changqing's flat-bottomed sand ship has very limited navigation capabilities, the pirates along the way can make the fleet have a good drink.

Shen Tingyang's face may be fine in Beiyang, but when he arrived in the south, it was the territory of a big official.

For this reason, Xu Changqing also went to visit Li Jianjun from Zhanhua to ask for an imperial edict.

Of course, this is just a secret decree.

But Xu Changqing was not relieved, so he ordered Uncle Guang to take the land route and prepare a generous gift to Anping to pay homage to the eldest brother.

no way.

Even if Xu Changqing is a time traveler and is even more famous at this time, he can only choose to bow his head first and follow the convention when facing the current situation.

After seeing off the fleet, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Back to the temporary residence that had moved to the outside of the city, I began to check the residence newspapers for the past few days.

But after reading it for a while, Xu Changqing threw the Di Bao aside and rubbed his temples tiredly.

At the end of the first month, Zhang Xianzhong could not sit still. In Huguang, the officials in Huguang were scattered like rabbits. Chen Xinjia, his soldier, had issued strict orders to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong before spring plowing.

However, this is obviously impossible!

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's activity route, he should have already had the idea of ​​entering Sichuan.

And Zhang Xianzhong can only be regarded as a small fuss, and Mr. Li from the Central Plains is a big deal.

At this time, Mr. Li had gathered more than 100,000 people and was ready to move towards Kaifeng. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be his third time surrounding Kaifeng City.

Although there was no big move in Liaoxi and Shengjing at this time, nothing unexpected happened. Dorgon should have sat firmly on the throne under his butt.

This made Xu Changqing feel a sense of powerlessness.

It's hard to change!

While thinking, a beautiful figure quietly walked in and brought Xu Changqing a bowl of lotus seed soup: "Xu Lang, you're tired. Take a break, I'll help you press your head."

Looking at Li Youwei's concerned face, Xu Changqing's mind relaxed a little. He smiled and held Li Youwei in his arms, and kissed her fiercely on her pretty face.

Li Youwei's pretty face turned red, and she spat gently, "Xu Lang, it's not dark yet..."

Xu Changqing smiled, but hugged Li Youwei even harder, "Youwei, stay with me for a while."

Li Youwei's delicate body was stunned, and then her eyes looked at Xu Changqing even more gentle, and she focused her head, "Yes."

People only know that the man in front of them is unparalleled, but who knows the efforts and hard work he has put in?

The two of them hugged each other quietly, enjoying a rare peace in this simple study.

But soon, Yang Zhongliang's voice came from outside the door: "Miss Rui'er, please report it to me. I have something to do to meet the commander."

Xu Changqing and Li Youwei looked at each other, and for a moment they were speechless.

Look at Xu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Changqing was still reluctant to leave, Li Youwei smiled and blushed slightly, "Come to me tonight."

As he said that, Yingying left through the back door.

Xu Changqing could only cheer up and prepare to entertain Yang Zhongliang.

At this time, Yang Zhongliang was still the butler of the Xu family, but he also joined the management of the camp, which was somewhat similar to Uncle Zhong.

According to Xu Changqing's identity at this time, he could actually open a government office and establish a formal staff organization.

But Xu Changqing's roots were still too shallow at this time and his background was not enough, so he could only endure it for the time being.

However, the Li family in Shanhaiguan has now started selling their industries. If nothing unexpected happens, May, June, June, July will be almost the same.

When the Li family truly migrates over in the month of **, the time for opening a house will become ripe and the power of checks and balances will be even.

After all, as long as Li Hongyun can bring Li Youwei's huge dowry, his achievements can be fought against Yang Zhongliang, Zhong and the others.
