"This ten thousand taels can do a lot of big things." Song Yingsheng smiled and said, "But the most important thing is to buy land and repay debts. You and I have owed about 2,000 taels. This time, I will pay off all of them and buy land for another 5,000 taels. You and I can get a thousand acres of fertile land and buy a few oil mills to supplement the cash income. In this way, the family's embarrassment over the years will be rewarded, and my brothers will no longer worry about the family's affairs."

"By the way." Song Yingsheng said again: "For this matter, Chang Geng, you have made the most efforts. I think the family's income will be 30% for the big house and 70% for the second house. How about it?"

The Song brothers have never divided the family. Like many scholarly families, the land and income are all in the public center, and everyone shares it, and then they give it a portion for each house to use. The daily expenses are also responsible for the public center. Only each house has its own money, and each house can buy private property by itself, but it is not encouraged. In the big family, fairness is the most important. Song Yingsheng's proposal is also for fairness, and it does not make Song Yingxing feel uncomfortable.

"What are you saying?" Song Yingxing frowned and said, "You and my brother are here together. Of course, the benefits you get are from the public. If you have any income, will you share the accounts with me alone?"

"Of course this won't..."

"That's it!" Song Yingxing said firmly: "It's decided that this is the case."

"Speaking of it..." Song Yingsheng smiled and said, "I want to stay in He Yusheng and will not leave. If I fail the exam, even if I choose to be the magistrate of Xia County or the teaching in the upper county, I may not be able to save ten thousand taels of silver after ten years of hard work."

"Yes." Song Yingxing nodded greatly and said, "I will submit a report on the spinning machine tomorrow and then officially start the trial production. If this matter is done, I feel that it will not be ten thousand taels of silver. The superiors may allow us to share the accounts, and the profit will be too great, maybe tens of thousands taels a year, and it can be collected for life."

"this……"

The impact of this news and number on Song Yingsheng was too great, and he couldn't help but frown and ponder.

...

The next day, Song Yingxing indeed went to submit a report.

Because he was too impatient and got up too early, the carriage did not come, and Song Yingxing didn't care. He just walked through it a few miles apart.

If it was in his hometown in Jiangxi, where the level was very distinct, Song Yingxing would not dare to walk like this. If someone saw it, he would be a complete loss of the etiquette of a master.

Here, I can walk freely and at will. Even if I encounter a crowd on the road, whether it is a farmer, a short-term worker, a manure picker, or a pig slaughter, a pig slaughter or a vegetable sold, there are all kinds of people, but my face is full of leisure and confidence. Even if I see a military officer like him, I will bow and continue walking, and the expression on my face has not changed much.

This kind of bowing and salute is just about respecting and Yusheng and Zhang Han. Respecting and Yusheng brings everything that has brought to the local area has nothing to do with Song Yingxing's identity as a juren.

The soldiers who got up early and went out to have sex ran back at this point in time. The general age of soldiers is around thirty years old. In later generations, they are veterans who have been retired for several years, but in He Yusheng's combat military system, they are unyielding new recruits.

The expansion plan this year has been completed long ago. The qualified young men directly participated in combat soldiers training. It was the end of the year. Most of the trainees were selected from the baggage soldiers. There were also a few new soldiers who had undergone strict physical examinations in terms of physical fitness and will. Their will, experience and physical strength were outstanding. Otherwise, they could only be selected for the baggage soldiers and performed well in the baggage soldiers. Only after being recommended by the chief officer would they have the opportunity to participate in the battle soldiers assessment and then be selected into the battle soldiers ranks.

In fact, even the baggage soldiers are not recruiting new soldiers. Now there are more than 100 brigades of baggage soldiers, and the number is enough. More than 40,000 combat soldiers and more than 100,000 baggage soldiers. Such a large number of troops is already the limit of He Yusheng's supply. More than 5 million military expenditures a year account for most of the military pay alone. This is the result of converting silver into silver dollars. Most of the silver dollars are circulated internally and recovered. Without these clever arrangements, the military pay alone can suppress He Yusheng's breathlessness.

There are now 110,000 people in Liao Town, and the military pay expenditure has exceeded 3 million taels. The soldiers in Liao Town are much worse than those in He Yusheng. The treatment of a baggage soldier of He Yusheng is not bad at all than that of the servants of Liao Town. The overall supply has left Liao Town more than a dozen streets. Even so, Liao Town cannot hold on. The main reason for the reduction of the number of soldiers during Yuan Chonghuan's period is that it was too difficult for the court to supply Liao Town.

As the soldiers passed by, the passers-by stopped, and many people waved to the soldiers.

Especially the handymen who swept snow and carried manure, most of these people were refugees. So far in the second half of last year, most of the recruits were recruited among refugees. These refugees could travel thousands of miles to Datong, and their physical fitness was actually very good. After recuperation for a while, they recovered their physical strength and courage. They picked out those who had both physical strength and courage to join the training of the recruits. Since it started from ordinary people, the training period of the recruits was much longer than that of the baggage soldiers. Over time, the families of these refugees had figured out the rules. Even if the recruits could not go out of the camp until the holiday, they would mostly still see their families.

There is still a lot of snow on both sides of the road, but the avenue is swept cleanly. The straight road makes people feel happy. There are a lot of ice hangings on the trees on both sides, and some children are laughing and playing with long ice.

After dawn, smoke rose in the village. By this time, most of the households had already eaten. There were very few large-scale gambling gambling in the villages near Lizhuang, and even half of the Datong were rare. People used to spend money and time in the slack farm. Now, they can go to various factories in Heyusheng to do work. In the past few months of slack farming, they can earn at least half a year of income. No one would give up such an opportunity.

The workshops of various bureaus have opened their doors. After breakfast, people who come in to work are walking on the road. The officers of the military department have gradually appeared on the road, and there are more and more carriages.

Song Yingxing had a little sweat on his forehead, and white fog began to emerge on both sides of the hat on his head. The four or five miles of journey ran over for the soldiers in a blink of an eye. For a scholar like him who had not undergone serious physical training, it was a long distance.

A melodious bell sound came not far away, and Song Yingxing saw a group of high-necked and deep-necked Thais walking towards a strange building.

"Hey, today is the Thais again."

"These group of red-maoyi are really devout to their Bodhisattvas."

"Don't say that in person. People call it God, not Bodhisattva. Be careful that Hongmaoyi will pull you to explain for a long time. These people have a good temper, but they can't resist it too long!"

People's discussion came not far away, and Song Yingxing also smiled.

There should be about a hundred people in Lizhuang. Some of them were missionaries who came with Joshua Chan. At that time, more than a dozen people came with Joshua Chan in the past two years. However, more than a dozen people came from the direction of the capital, and there were already more than twenty people.

Zhang Hantei allowed them to build this small church here, and in addition to doing it themselves, they also allowed them to preach. However, in fact, their achievements were really limited. In two years, there were only fifty believers among the Chinese. This number is really embarrassing.

In addition to missionaries, they are specialized talents hired from Macau and other places over the years.

Some are artillery casting technicians from the Artillery Bureau, some are specialized in muskets, and some are military instructors, responsible for teaching the skillful tactical phalanx and tactics of Europe in this era.

Some also teach philosophy, mathematics, geometry and other theories in school.

Some are business partners and representatives.

In recent years, Zhang Han has strengthened his military formation training, and Macau has been recruiting mercenary officers and soldiers from various countries. Of course, with He Yusheng's current level, the second-rate man who wants to eat all over the world with a white face is definitely not able to survive. Those who can participate must be former professional soldiers. This is also something Datong has repeatedly emphasized. If this were not the case, He Yusheng's financial resources would have attracted hundreds of people.

When Sun Yuanhua served as governor of Denglai, he formed a company of mercenaries, mainly composed of the Portuguese, training artillery and musketeers for Denglai Town, and was also responsible for combat missions.

Unfortunately, Kong Youde moved the Wuqiao mutiny, and these European mercenary officers and soldiers died in the mutiny.

Song Yingxing was also familiar with these missionaries, and he nodded to these people.

"Hello, honorable sir."

Although Jose has been here for the first time to come to Lizhuang, he has long studied the clothes of military officials. He knew at a glance that Song Yingxing was an intermediate official and his status is not low.

Seeing the Thai man in a gray robe take off his hat to greet him, Song Yingxing quickly bowed.

Both parties were very clear about each other's etiquette and knew that the other party had greeted him with very formal etiquette.

"Below is Jose." Jose introduced himself with a smile.

"Ah, Mr. He." Song Yingxing's expression was calm, but now he became very enthusiastic. He took Jose's hand and asked, "I heard that Mr. He brought a lot of novel machines this time?"

"Hmm." Jose said: "A spinning machine, a computer, a microscope."

"I've heard of the microscope." Song Yingxing said: "I heard that computers are much better than abacus?"

"I dare not say that." Jose waved his hand and said, "Many Chinese people have strong self-esteem. I dare not say that Thai goods must be better than Ming things."

"Qi." Song Yingxing said disapprovingly: "Those boring people, good things are good things, whether it is Taixi or the Ming Dynasty. Is it because I am China in the Ming Dynasty, and there are no smart people in other countries?"

Jose smiled without saying a word.

Frederick, who was standing beside him, said, "Prince Jose should not be fooled by him, Mr. Song must want to see the machine."

Jose then realized it and smiled and said, "The machine has been handed over to the Miscellaneous Technology Institute. I heard that Mr. Song is working in it and has made considerable achievements. I would like to express my sincere congratulations on this."—

Today I will give you a vote. I hope everyone will not abandon me. I will still work diligently at the beginning of the new year. No matter what, my attitude is very positive.
Chapter completed!
