Chapter 31 Ambition (Continued)
It was sunny after the rain, and Poyang City was bustling with people. Next to the county party committee, the walls where the notices were posted were covered with people. The officials were tirelessly explaining the contents of the notices to the onlookers.
"From next month, our Poyang County will not be the Poyang County of Jiangzhou. Now it is a separate state, named Raozhou, with abundant resources..."
"So, Poyang County is now Poyang County, Raozhou, and there is one more public office in the city, that is, Raozhou Prefecture Party..."
This news has actually been known to everyone in the city before. Today, the county party committee has officially announced the list.
Not only that, everyone also knew that the current Poyang inner historian Li Sanlang (all the people of Poyang called Li Li Sanlang), because of his repeated military achievements, the court had other appointments.
Now it is already autumn, and the new governor of Raozhou is about to take office. However, the court also issued a special document to Poyang, repeatedly declaring that the rules set by Li Sanlang's office will not be changed because they are effective.
This is the most concerned thing. Since Li Sanlang took office, he has set many rules and implemented them for more than three years, and many people have benefited a lot. Now everyone is most concerned about whether these rules will change.
"Change? How can it change? Who dares to change?"
In the county government, officials who were taking a break from their busy schedules were talking about it, and when it came to "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", that was a hundred times more confident.
"We in Poyang, not to mention the Poyang Palace, now there is a duke, four marquises, one viscount, and so many large-scale industries that have taken root and sprouted here. Who dares to do anything randomly?"
"Yes, our Poyang paid 1 million kilograms of copper to the court last year and sold 1 million kilograms of copper. It will increase every year in the future. Who dares to do anything randomly? If it affects the income, who can afford it."
There was a lot of discussion, full of pride for Poyang.
Of course, I am proud that since Li Sanlang became a parent, Poyang has changed a lot in recent years. Large-scale military farming has begun to show results, and grain output has increased significantly. There are many people who settled in Poyang.
With its popularity, it naturally attracted a large number of merchants to do business. Nowadays, Poyang is not only famous for Le'an copper, but also Xinping porcelain.
Every day, a large amount of porcelain is transported from Xinping to Poyang and distributed from Poyang to various places. The number of porcelain shops in Poyang City has increased by more than ten times compared to a few years ago. The prosperous business has driven the development of all walks of life.
For example, shipping, and the catering industry is one of them. With the large-scale use of iron pots, the cooking method of "frying" has also developed with the catering industry in Poyang.
Because the demand for iron pots has increased sharply, the business of private furnaces that have become regular during Li Sanlang's tenure in Poyang has also become popular, and the iron production has increased significantly, and the prices of various iron products have also dropped significantly.
More and more people in the military farmland use iron farm tools, and the speed of land reclamation has accelerated. The cultivated farmland has appeared in Poyang like mushrooms after a rain, causing the grain prices around Poyang and even the Pengli Lake District to drop significantly.
As a result, people from other places have increasingly attracted to Poyang to settle down and open up land.
With popularity gathering, the demand for aquatic products in daily life continues to increase, so the fishing and fish farming industries in Pengli Lake District are also developing rapidly.
Everyone is looking forward to a bright future, and their pride in their hometown and their admiration for Li Sanlang are getting stronger and stronger.
The officials were talking a lot, and when they saw a few people coming, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
The one walking in front was Zhang Ying, the county clerk. While walking, he was instructing the officials to handle all matters.
Now the new official is about to take office, but the "current officer" is not here, so the handover matters are concerned about these assistants.
Li Li was fighting outside, and Zhang Ying stayed in Poyang to assist in handling affairs. He was always very busy. Now Zhang Ying not only has to be responsible for the handover, but also has to help Li Li move.
After a while, Zhang Ying turned to the county vegetarian camp, but saw Li Xin and Liang Miao in the front yard directing the servants to pack up all kinds of utensils.
Moving is very cumbersome, and it is most suitable for young people to worry about, but adults have to check it out, so Li Xin's mother Lin's family and Li Li's side room Zhao Mengniang cannot be idle either.
But Zhao Mengniang still had to take care of the two daughters and one son, so she had no time to be distracted. Therefore, Zhang Ying's niece, who had been living in the Li family and accompanying Wu, also took on the responsibility.
After Zhang Ying brought his niece to Poyang, although he later got married and had children, his niece was quite liked by Wu's family, so he lived in the Li family, just like Wu's granddaughter.
Seeing that the county craft was busy inside and outside, Zhang Ying was relieved. Seeing that Li Xin and Liang Miao were a little disgusted, he asked Liang Miao: "Why did you change a group of subordinates?"
"They went to help recruit soldiers, and they were very busy." Liang Miao replied, and Zhang Ying nodded: "Since that's the case, don't mess up the rules."
"I know Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Ying was called "Uncle Zhang" by Li Xin and Liang Miao. Of course, this is a private name. Since we talked about recruiting soldiers, Zhang Ying continued to ask: "How, how many people are recruiting?"
"Many, very much!" Li Xin came to his mind when he heard this topic: "The county party committee announced the announcement that more than 6,000 people registered in five days."
Liang Miao quickly added after hearing this: "That's the previous number. As of yesterday, there were more than 8,000 people, so I had enough to choose carefully."
"More than 8,000 people?" Zhang Ying was a little surprised. Although he was very confident in Li Li's appeal in his hometown, this number was indeed beyond his expectations.
Poyang is engaged in large-scale farming everywhere, many clans organize young and strong people to open up land, while merchants hire people to cultivate farming everywhere.
In theory, people with hope will be more inclined to open up land or do small business. I didn’t expect that there were so many people who served in the army to eat food.
When Zhang Ying saw two young men talking about recruitment affairs, he sounded.
Nowadays, in Poyang City, it is often said that in addition to the royal palace, there are a "public", four marquises, and a "son".
Duke refers to Li Li. Li Li is now appointed by the Hou Jin of Xinping County as Duke of Xinping County by relying on his military achievements.
The four marquises were Li Li's fellow townsmen, Liang Sen, Wu Xiang, Peng Jun, and Huang?. These four people followed Li Li to fight and made many military achievements. Now they have all been named county marquis.
There is another "son" that refers to the title of "county". Li Li made many military achievements last year, so the emperor wanted to grant his eldest son the title of county.
But Li Li gave the title to his only nephew. Because there was a precedent for uncle and nephew to give title, and it was rumored to be a good story, Li Li's nephew Li Xin has now obtained the title of county victorious.
Li Xin is very young now. Although she has a title, she has no official position and has not yet had a family and a descendant. So Li Li did not take his nephew to fight with him, but stayed in Poyang.
Li Xin also has to take care of Li's family business, manor, and is filial to her mother and grandmother. Now she is involved in recruiting troops and is very capable in dealing with things.
Liang Miao is Liang Sen's younger brother. Liang Sen has made many military achievements. It seems that Liang Miao will sooner or later win the favor of his brother and have a title, so he is as energetic as Li Xin and wants to prove to others that he deserves it.
As for recruiting soldiers, it was because of an appointment.
This time, Li Li broke through Pengcheng, Xuzhou and killed Duan Shao, a famous general of Qi, and made great contributions. The emperor later appointed Li Li as the governor of Xuzhou, so he could establish his own subordinates.
Since the Xuzhou Prefecture Party was established, the military government must be established, but there are no camps and soldiers, so they can only rely on recruitment.
Recruiting the people of the two Huai Rivers nearby to join the army is the best choice, but Li Li also submitted a letter to ask His Majesty to accept the order and recruit soldiers in Poyang.
Of course there is a saying, that is, the people of Poyang have the opportunity to serve the country. Moreover, when the Poyang soldiers arrived in Huaibei, they were in a foreign land and had no way out, and would not surrender or flee easily.
Therefore, His Majesty allowed Li Li to formally recruit soldiers (recruiting troops) in his hometown of Poyang, enriching the soldiers in Xuzhou military camp, and recruiting soldiers in Poyang was 4,000.
The military battle was distributed by the Poyang County Party Committee. As for the expenses, the Poyang County Party Committee took on part of the costs, and Li Li had to solve the other part himself.
This is open recruitment, and according to convention, generals can recruit troops themselves, but the expenses are paid by themselves, and they cannot buy armor and crossbows.
Therefore, Li Li, the "president", had four marquis, and there were definitely more than 4,000 posts recruiting soldiers and horses in Poyang. Now there are countless responders, which seems to be no problem.
This was the great military achievements of Li Li and others, which attracted many young people to respond to recruiting soldiers. Many people also wanted to follow Li Sanlang to overcome all obstacles and make contributions on the battlefield, just like the Four Marquises, and have some achievements.
Although the government procured a list of recruiting soldiers, the respondent was to be organized into the Xuzhou military camp and to work hard for the court, fighting under the tent of the first Duke and the four marquis was equivalent to following the people in his hometown, and the soldiers were all from the same hometown, which was the most suitable.
Thinking of the recruitment of soldiers this time, a thought flashed through Zhang Ying's mind: With such a people's heart and a growing wealth of Poyang as the foundation, why worry about the big thing not being done!
The Qi army was about to fight back, and recruiting new recruits to rescue the emergency, as if the distance could not be used to remove the near fire. Therefore, Zhang Ying knew that Li Li's move was for a long-term plan.
He could guess Li Li's intentions and knew that the appointment of the governor of Xuzhou must be the result of Li Li's voluntary request. Although this opportunity is extremely risky, it has even greater benefits.
Zhang Ying felt that if Li Li was determined to guard Poyang, although he was stable, he would not be enterprising enough.
Now, Li Li has been appointed as the governor of Xuzhou. As long as he defends Pengcheng, there will be a new situation after that.
Zhang Ying therefore believed that Li Li's mind had changed.
He is Li Li's assistant. Now that the head of the palace takes office in Pengcheng, he of course has to go to Pengcheng.
The official position has been decided: Xuzhou chief clerk.
Zhang Ying witnessed a young eagle constantly practicing flying. After waiting for many years, he finally waited until the young eagle spread its wings and rushed towards the storm.
In the storm, if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces, but even so, the eagle will still spread its wings and soar.
Why fight against the wind and rain? To have a lofty ambition!
