After explaining the black materials, Zhao Ran asked about the recruitment of three ministries to build roads.
Yuan Hao even laughed: "Baozhong came to the mountain to talk about this matter. The three leaders did not agree at first. When Baozhong said that they would pay per person, they began to hesitate, and finally they all asked for a higher price. The price Baozhong negotiated was twelve coins per person per day, nine coins for women, which is a bit more than originally."
Zhao Ran said: "It doesn't matter, it's all small money. How many have been recruited?"
"The original number was 500, but as a result, all the big and small heads came to Baozhong and asked for more posts. Baozhong said that many small heads even gave him money in return, stating that for every additional head of their tribe, they would Give Baozhong two cents, haha! Now there are more than 800 people. Baozhong asked if he wanted more, so I ordered a thousand people for him."
"As long as we can go down to the mountains to help, we can eat as many as we come. One thousand people are not enough, and two thousand people are barely enough."
"That's a good thing, but if we really let go, I'm afraid these leaders won't be so active."
"The Supervisory Yuan's words are reasonable, so let's follow the Supervisory Yuan's method. How are these posts allocated among the three departments?"
"The Qionghe tribe is still the main one, accounting for the majority, followed by the Chama tribe, and the least is the Longbai tribe. I heard that the chieftain Danmu of the Longbai tribe is very strict. Even Baozhong was not able to join this recruitment. Zhebo Mountain, if a few small-headed people from the Chama tribe helped deliver it, it is said that two small tribes from the Longbai tribe planned to secretly send people down the mountain, and the total number was only fifty or sixty people."
Of the three Baima tribes, the Longbai tribe is the largest, with about 40,000 people, followed by the Chama tribe, with less than 20,000 people, and the smallest Qionghe tribe, with a total of just over 8,000 people. But on the contrary, the Qionghe tribe with the smallest population has a more positive attitude towards Daomen and Ming Dynasty.
No matter what the reasons are for the Qionghe Department, as long as they have this attitude, Zhao Ran will definitely give them a little sweetness, and in the final solution in the future, he will also give the Qionghe Department better conditions. Of course, these That¡¯s all for later, let¡¯s finish building the road first.
Because there were enough people recruited, the construction of the southern line, which was originally scheduled to wait for the completion of the northern line, started a month ahead of schedule. The main force in road construction was these thousand people.
Zhao Ran wore a robe and performed a ritual before starting work, but there were only a few people who responded, which was in sharp contrast to the Western and Northern Fronts. He didn't take it too seriously. There must be methods after the ritual. When all kinds of miracles appear, the reaction of these tribesmen must be wonderful.
The time has entered July, and the southern line project has been started for a month. Compared with the western and northern lines, Zhao Ran has deployed very few demon cultivators on the southern line, such as Five Color Master, Qingtian layman, Huangjiao Daxian, Feilongzi, etc. I only go there every now and then, and there¡¯s not much work to do ¨C there¡¯s too much to do, and the project is progressing too fast, so how can we make this road act as a catalyst?
The demon cultivators went there just to show their holiness in front of people. They would level the road for a few feet and then move away, or they would move a few square meters of gravel and soil and then disappear. Of course, in order to maintain a sense of mystery, we still choose to do it in the dark, but we no longer avoid the people getting up at night to watch.
Legends such as the Nine Heaven Phoenix, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the Kunlun Kirin, and the Laojun Qingniu became so popular among the tribesmen that starting from that month, some tribesmen came to the White Horse Courtyard to offer incense. Zhao Ran was very pleased. This was the first time in the five years since the establishment of the White Horse Academy that the White Horse Academy had received confidence from the people of the three ministries. Although it was not much, it was a good start after all.
The wages of Baimayuan are paid in this way: each headman receives a salary of twelve cents per head of tribesmen sent in, and then they will give the kickback to Baozhong, and Baozhong will not reduce the number of employees for the next month. promised, and then handed the rebate back to Baimayuan, who then paid five cents of wages per person for the day to every member of the tribe who came to work.
At the same time, Baimayuan mobilized merchants in the city and opened several grocery stores at the foot of Haizi Mountain, where Qionghebu lived, selling grain, salt, cloth, farm tools, pots and pans, pickles, etc., and even opened a bartender. After more than half a month, a cargo station was even set up to purchase specialties from the mountains.
The opening of several shops gave Haizishan, which had been closed for several years, a platform for communication with the outside world. After spending all the wages they earned, the people of the Qionghe tribe returned home and used their savings to They took out the cowhide, sheepskin, medicinal materials, etc., exchanged them for money at the goods station, and then went to the shops to make a big purchase, while the rest went to the restaurant to have a drink.
In order to maintain the market and protect the rights and interests of the people, so that they can participate in market transactions at fair prices, Baimayuan has successively set up Fangtang Haizishan Police Station and Dianzhuofang Direct Service Office here. In just over a month, A small streetInitial shape.
Baozhong's family moved to this small street permanently, and was appointed as the deputy director of Haizishan Police Station. However, he was alone. He had no director above him and no soldiers below him. He shouldered the responsibility of the small street alone. the burden of public security. At the same time, he privately has the power to control the number of employees in the ministry.
Although he is just a fireworker layman, in the eyes of the people of the Qionghe tribe in Haizishan, he is an official figure, representing the authority of Baimayuan in this small street, so the guide is busy all day long receiving guests. Meet the big and small heads of the Qionghe tribe.
Baozhong was also a thoughtful person, so he simply wrote down his daily meetings and conversations with these leaders and sent them to Baima Courtyard. It didn't take long for Baimayuan to get to the bottom of the situation in the Qionghe Department.
Zhao Ran looked at this summary of the situation and couldn't help but laugh: "There are only more than 8,000 people in total, but there are more than 20 groups among them. Only one-third of the big chieftains can really keep their word. This Qionghe tribe still has So weak."
Yuan Hao twisted his beard and said, "Meisi's control is probably not good enough. Abbot, do you want to take action in advance?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer, and keep brewing. Now it's just the Qionghe tribe. It's best to involve more people from the Chama tribe and even the Longbai tribe."
Yuan Hao asked again: "Is the abbot satisfied with these materials?" Two days ago, the Taoist priest Dian Zaofang he sent to the governor's office copied a thick stack of official documents, all of which were the Xia army's logistics supplies during the Baima Mountain War in the 18th year of Jiajing. Many of the black materials on dispatching and general morale are accompanied by transcripts of text files that the Xia army did not have time to burn after they captured the Baima Mountain camp.
In addition, there are several records related to the Baima Sanbu chieftains who sent to discuss the matter with the Ming army. They are full of complaints about being plundered by the Xia army and the people's livelihood was difficult. They clearly listed a long list of bad deeds of the Xia army generals, including famous ones. There are seventeen or eight people with this surname.
Zhao Ran also saw the accusation against Yeli Huaide in it. This gentleman also played an exemplary role in plundering the people of the Red Plains, and he had a lot of misdeeds. Even if he really wanted to hand this material over to Xingqing, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
Therefore, Zhao Ran took up a pen and circled his name and deeds, and told Yuan Hao: "Let them write it again. Don't include Ye Li Huaide for the time being. If you can add some local party survivors and three chieftains, It would be nice to have a record of people¡¯s accusations.¡±
