Guangxu died, Xuan Tong ascended the throne. After one emperor died, another emperor came.

At that time, the so-called emperor Puyi was only three years old, so what could he know? The power fell into the hands of the Guangxu Empress Long Yu and Puyi's biological father Zaifeng.

At this time, Wang Hengyue also returned to Rong County.

At this time, in Rongxian, Wang Hengyue successively punched foreigners and wiped out bandits, and was famous. The elders and gentry of Rongxian all regarded Wang Hengyue as the pillar of Rongxian.

The new army has grown to a certain scale, and people from neighboring towns have come to join the army one after another. In addition to selecting the most capable people to join the first team, the rest have been added to the armed guards.

The size of the armed guard has grown, which is also a headache. Although it is in the name of "military forces" to the outside world, it is not easy to explain if it is passed on to it. Moreover, the fact that so many troops stationed in Rong County also has an impact on the local area.

After thinking about it, Wang Hengyue finally came up with a solution.

Rong County is full of mountains, and there are nearly a hundred famous mountains in the territory. Wang Hengyue and his subordinates visited for more than ten days, and finally selected Guapiao Mountain dozens of miles west of the city.

The mountains here are undulating and misty. From a distance, the mountains are connected to the deep valleys, and the strange peaks are comparable to the cliffs; from a close distance, the green pines are standing, the trees are lush, the grass is lush, and the mountains and flowers are blooming. Even in the hot summer, the air is still moist and fresh, making people feel like entering a fairyland and relaxed and happy.

As soon as he saw this, Wang Hengyue decided to use Guapai Mountain as a place for military training for the armed guards! Not only the armed guards, but even if the first team expanded quietly, there was still a place to be placed.

In this world, there are soldiers and guns, everything!

"Rongxian is a good place." On the way back, Yu Lei exclaimed: "You can attack here and you can defend it when you retreat. Even if there is any accident in the future, you can find one of them to hide."

Wang Hengyue glanced at him: "What does it mean to attack by advancing and defend by advancing?"

"Students are talking nonsense, so don't care about them." Yu Lei smiled faintly.

At this time, he saw Yang Fangyun running from the front and coming to Wang Hengyue and whispering: "Sir, go to Chengdu and ask Manager Qin to help you find the candidate."

Wang Hengyue nodded.

When leaving Chengdu, Wang Hengyue asked Qin Guangcheng to help him find one or two business talents so that he could make great efforts in Rongxian. He didn't expect that Qin Guangcheng had already sent the people in Rongxian for a few days.

One of the two people who came was named Deng Yong. He had originally assisted the big businessman Sheng Xuanhuai to run the Hanyang Iron Factory. However, Sheng Xuanhuai later borrowed money from the Japanese and lost the sovereignty of the Daji Iron Mine. He returned to Sichuan in anger.

The other one is Chen Qifeng, who is less than 30 years old. He was originally helping Qin Guangcheng and has already been the only one in Chongqing. At this time, Qin Guangcheng also transferred him back.

Wang Hengyue was very grateful. For his own affairs, Qin Guangcheng sent all the capable generals.

After a few greetings, Wang Hengyue went straight to the topic: "Two, Hengyue is here to train troops, but the military pay, money and food are gone. Recently, the emperor and the empress dowager have passed away, and no one cares about me. Brothers want to have dinner, and the soldiers want to buy weapons and bullets. Where can I get this money? I have to find a way for myself, so I asked the shopkeeper Qin to invite the two of them."

Deng Yong and Chen Qifeng looked at each other, and the team official spoke very directly.

Wang Hengyue didn't hide it and said: "Rong County is rich in rock salt, limestone and clay, so I want to drill a few rock salt wells first. I wonder what you two can teach me?"

"This..." Deng Yong hesitated for a moment: "Sir, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to know about it if the above people know."

"If the superiors don't give me money, can I starve to death?" Wang Hengyue didn't care about so much. The country is in chaos now, so he doesn't believe that he has dug a few salt wells. Someone else came to investigate and deal with him: "I will fight all these things, I just give me an idea to do it."

Chen Qifeng pondered a little: "Sir, salt production is indeed a good way to solve the funds in the shortest time. The salt tax accounts for 70% of the province by itself and the tribute well alone. The annual tax revenue is more than 6 million, exceeding the land tax, and ranks first in the province. Adults should find a solution from this, and Qifeng thinks it is feasible."

Liu Sihai is a local from Rong County. Wang Hengyue also called him to accompany him. After hearing the interface, he said, "This is a solution, but the Yanjing is monopolized by the government and local gentry and wealthy families. Each county has set up agencies specializing in salt affairs, which are the official bureaus. The officers and soldiers stationed in the salt field are called Anding Camp, and the leader is the commander. The subordinate battalion officials and sentry officials are fifty or sixty per sentry, and they are responsible for protecting the Yanyuan, escorting taxes, preventing tax evasion, and arresting private traffickers. The military force belonging to the county is the arresting hall, and the military officers say that the general and soldiers are called Lianyong, who are responsible for local public security. The arresting hall has only a hundred people, and there are also militia groups run by local vacancies. The wealthy families can also pay private funds and recruit entrusted to self-defense. There are 100 people on larger scales. If they want to start smoothly, they need to think carefully."

Wang Hengyue was a little angry. He had to hide it from his own armed guard and secretly shamelessly. Those rich and powerful people who colluded with the government were good, and they could create a guard with hundreds of people in one go.

When I was unhappy, I threw it aside for a while: "You don't need to worry about this when I said this, just give me some advice on what to do."

"If you want to dig a salt well and make a profit as soon as possible, brine is the most critical place." Seeing that a team official was the leader, Chen Qifeng was relieved: "The profit size of each well is not limited by the insufficient brine of each well, but depends on the amount of each person draws. At present, most of them use the bull push method to draw brine, which is a big backward, because since adults want to dig a salt well, Qifeng recommends adults to purchase machines."

Wang Hengyue became very interested: "Tell me what happened to this motorcycle to draw the lubricant?"

Chen Qifeng smiled and said, "Sir, the motorcycle Jilu is inspired by Ouyang Xianrong. He organized the 'Huaxing Company' to specialize in the motorcycle Jilu. Compared with the animal power, a motorcycle has a lower investment and several times the effectiveness. If you want to dig a salt well, you must purchase a motorcycle. Qifeng can do this on behalf of the adults."

"Okay, you can do it." Wang Hengyue thought about it for a while: "And you have to do it quickly, Qifeng, you bring the silver notes and go tomorrow."

Seeing that Wang Hengyue was so anxious, Chen Qifeng responded with a smile.

Deng Yong said on the side: "It is easy to solve the problem of motorcycles, but the government can find more solutions. Whether the salt well can be successfully mined depends on whether the local brothers and elders can agree."

"I'll dig a few wells, and what will I agree to do if I want my brother to agree to do?" Wang Hengyue was very dissatisfied.

Deng Yong patiently explained: "As the rock well crosses the water, the rock salt melts, and the entire rock strata gradually penetrates, forming a 'Hongkuang'. In this way, the rock strata are integrated and the interests of each well are connected into gas. Therefore, the wells are united and connected to the economic interests as a whole. In the event of difficulties, the wells will help the whole wells, and behind them are mostly supported by the local Pao Ge forces! "
