    At dawn the next day, Qin Hong came to the Xiaohewan military camp again with his soldiers.

    He felt that he didn¡¯t look carefully enough yesterday. He couldn¡¯t tell what was going on in the military camp by just looking around, but he had to look at it a few more times!

    He was still discovered from a distance, and this time he was led by a sergeant named Black Face.

    When we entered the camp, it was just the time for morning exercises to end and breakfast to begin.

    The scent went straight into his nostrils, and the old man didn't recognize it, and said carelessly: "I was in such a hurry this morning that I didn't bother to have breakfast. Can I have a meal?"

    Sun Zheng thinks this old man is cute. Is he trying to show his favor to me?

    That¡¯s right, civil servant!

    Following the old man¡¯s wishes, he took the old man directly to the dining hall.

    The old man was shocked again, look at his military appearance and conduct.  When eating in the canteen, people line up neatly and get their meals one by one. There is almost no noise during the whole process.

    The old man and Sun Zheng were sitting across from each other, and the soldiers spontaneously gathered at another table.

    Breakfast is spicy soup and big meat buns.  The old man looked at them carefully and found that everyone was the same and did not treat them any differently because of their appearance.

    When I took a bite, I almost moaned with happiness.

    Take a sip of the hot spicy spicy soup, it¡¯s amazing!  There is so much salt and so many seasonings, are you guessing that I am coming today?  And a boiled egg per person?  Can't get through this day?

    But the old man didn¡¯t express his position. He thought about it most of the night last night, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn¡¯t figure it out.

    After breakfast, I saw the soldiers washing the dishes and placing the dishes and chopsticks neatly on the kitchen cabinet. Even the positions of the chopsticks were exactly the same.  When I got closer, I saw that each cabinet was marked with a Chinese character, like a barbarian numeral.

    After a short rest, the formal training began in the morning. The soldiers put on armor and leggings, carried strange-looking muskets, and dispersed into different areas for training in small teams.

    The old man looked at it for a while and asked aloud: "Is Sun Qianhu's gun made by the internal prison?"

    Sun Zhengxin said, I'm afraid you won't understand when I talk about system manufacturing, but if you talk about internal supervision, just call it internal supervision.

    "Why is there no fire?"

    "It's not yet time! I've just started to get familiar with the firearms. A conservative estimate is that it will take at least another month before it's my turn to fire."

    "How long will it take? I can see that these soldiers have been quite effective. In terms of enforcing orders and prohibitions, they are not much worse than those elites in the army Well, more than that, they should be the only ones I have seen in several years of military service!"

    "I'm embarrassed that Commander Qin is so complimentary. God knows how much effort it took to make these idiots know the right and left."

    Qin Hong was amused: "Speaking of new recruits, even veterans with more than ten years of experience, there are many who can't recognize left and right, and can't tell the direction. When practicing troops and fighting, we can only make up the numbers."

    Looking at the soldiers training in various tactical subjects from a distance, it seems that the progress and subjects of each team are slightly different.

    The old man thought of a question: "When you came yesterday, you led the team to practice, and when you came today, you were practicing again. How many days do you soldiers practice?"

    Sun Zheng was stunned: "You get so anxious after practicing every day, how dare you practice for several days? You can't stop for a day until effective muscle memory is formed!"

    The old man was startled and suddenly thought of the key: "Is this the usual food here?"

    "That's necessary! How can you practice like this without adequate nutrition? You'll be exhausted already."

    Qin Hong was convinced, why did he say that he was poor in literature and rich in military affairs?  People who practice martial arts eat a lot!  Those general families and Jianghu sects all have huge resources poured into their stomachs, and they can only rely on luck to provide a few masters.

    But in this era, not to mention personal soldiers, even personal sons, it is unlikely that anyone would be willing to give up so many resources to support a group of people.

    With his military training skills, I can support him ten times and still have some leftover!

    How much money can this Sun King of Hell make?  Can you support three hundred soldiers with just a few inns and escort agencies?

    With doubts in mind, the old man hurriedly ended his tour of the camp.  Went back to the office and put on casual clothes, and went to visit Sihai Street.

    When you step onto this street, you can definitely feel that it is different from other places.  Just the cleanliness of the streets can make people¡¯s eyes brighten.  Every once in a while, there is a woman with a broom cleaning.

    Looking up at the signboards, some of the flags on the flags are wine, some are tea, and some are cloth, ready-made clothes, etc. In short, almost all businesses that can be used in daily life can be found on Sihai Street.  Of course, the most eye-catching ones are the several restaurants and bars.

    The old man walked around the whole street and found a building with the Guyuan Thousand Households of Jinyiwei hanging on the street.  You can see a group of people coming in and out, busy with something. When you look closer, you can see that they are helping a few people.??Merchants mediate disputes.

    The old man listened with interest for a while and found that these people in strange uniforms did not have the usual facial expressions of government officials at all. Instead, they looked like acquaintances next door and were very easy-going when talking to others.  Of course, after the mediation is completed, both parties will have to pay a few cents in fees, but judging from the looks of the two people, this small amount of money is more like taking advantage.

    When it was lunchtime, the old man entered Sihai Restaurant.

    The waiter who greeted guests was very enthusiastic: "Who are you? Are you coming to our store for the first time? Do you want a private room or a lobby"

    Of course, choose the lobby, otherwise you won¡¯t be able to see anything.

    There are not many dishes, but they are all hard dishes.  The signature rice is steamed buns with beef and mutton. The entourage ordered hard noodle steamed buns because of their good teeth. The old man asked for two butter cakes and a bowl of water.

    The bowl is as big as a human head, with a thick layer of oil floating on it. When you put your chopsticks in and scoop it out, most of the bowl is filled with meat. This is rich!

    Having a nice meal and settling the bill, the average price is fifteen cents per person.  Not cheap, but far from expensive.

    A quick calculation shows that there are more than forty tables in the entire lobby, and each table is crowded with diners sharing seats.  Five or six are common, but seven or eight are also common.  In the lobby on the first floor alone, at least two hundred people dine.  Even if it doesn't count as overturning the table, this pull can be sold for three times.  Can you eat two sheep?  The price of cattle and sheep in Guyuan is so low that the herdsmen want to vomit blood, and a cow can only cost about two bucks.

    "Just for this lunch meal, you can earn one or two silver dollars on the first floor, and the boss must still be in the box upstairs.

    Yesterday, some of them said that this street packed up three thousand taels and sold it to him?  It seems like a loss!  According to his way of making money, he can get his money back in less than half a year.

    For comparison, the old man visited other neighborhoods. Commercial activities were indeed quite frequent, but compared with Sihai Street, it was completely incomprehensible.

    Well!

    A few days later, the old man went to the military camp outside the city again.  This time we had lunch, and when we had dumplings, the old man ate them very happily.

    "I've been to Sihai Street and I'm very impressed!" The old man explained the purpose of his visit directly: "I came here this time because I want Qianhu to help me take care of the entire Guyuan City. One Sihai Street is nothing, as long as the entire Guyuan City is taken care of.  A city like Sihai Street can attract merchants and stabilize people's hearts.

    I plan to immigrate from the mainland in the coming spring and clear out the abandoned fields in the north!  But these all require money.  The ministers in the cabinet made ridiculous claims when they tricked me into coming here, but now they just pretend to be deaf and dumb when they hear me asking for money and food.

    Qianhu said that day that as long as it is beneficial to the three parties, he will strongly support it.  Now I need Qianhu's golden touch, and I hope Qianhu won't shirk it.  You and I will work together to fulfill His Majesty's mission as soon as possible.  "

    The old man is a sensible person.

    Having been in the Ming Dynasty for so many years, the old man is the senior official Sun Zheng has seen who most looks like a serious scholar-bureaucrat.  Of course this request cannot be refused.

    But Sun Zheng did not directly intervene in the governance of Guyuan. Instead, he formulated a development outline after several days of thinking.

    This outline makes very detailed plans and arrangements for the future development of Guyuan.

    Including setting up different trading areas inside and outside the city, and establishing a supervision group to maintain transaction fairness.  Scheduling of security, health and other personnel within the city is done on a zoning basis.

    And most importantly, how to make a profit!

    In terms of people¡¯s livelihood, if he really followed his method of raising chickens on that scale, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on three sides would be able to eat eggs every day!

    His methods of composting and intensive farming still need to be verified.  But look at this set of procedures, it doesn¡¯t look like nonsense.

    After reading this outline, Qin Hong felt that his life had been in vain these years.  It turns out that it is so easy for the government to make money.  There is no need to squeeze those farmers desperately, just provide a good environment for those merchants and collect appropriate taxes.  The key is that this model, as long as it is slightly modified and adapted to local conditions, can be applied everywhere!

    As for the Ming Dynasty¡¯s old practice of not collecting commercial taxes, screw it!  I confiscated the commercial tax, just like what Sun Qianhu said, and collected sanitation fees, management fees, and service fees for security and fire fighters!

    When Sun Zheng pierced the window paper, the old man suddenly became enlightened and felt that everything he saw in front of him looked like Brother Kong Fang.

    Qin Hong was originally a master of military and political affairs, and he had been in the officialdom for a long time. He had many ups and downs, and his tricks were second to none.

    Several reports were submitted to the cabinet, and after some back-and-forth, they suddenly took a different approach.  If you don't give me money or food, I can raise it myself. There are so many refugees in the customs and you can't afford to feed them, so just pack them and send them to me.  I'll use them to open up wasteland, and I'll farm the fields and raise troops myself.

    The cabinet could not be more thankful. Lao Qin snatched away two hot potatoes. What a good man!

    Before the onset of winter, the vigorous Guyuan development process began.
