Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"Hit people against the wall with cannons, they are all clansmen, and the small ones are all beaten, and the big ones are cut off first. Some passers-by in the know solved Li Zicheng's doubts. Li Zicheng looked at it, and it was a big iron cannon, and in the midst of laughter, he stuffed a child in a fancy costume into the muzzle, and the child was already frightened, and he didn't listen to his call for help, but when he saw two white and delicate little hands fluttering out of the muzzle, it seemed that he was a junior of the clan. Li Zicheng suddenly realized and applauded. In the blink of an eye, there was another blood mark on the wall.

"Kill all the clans, well, the rebels here don't plan to be edicted for the time being, and they will be of great use to the army. Let's hurry back to report the good news. Li Zicheng's last bit of doubt disappeared without a trace, and he galloped out of the city and galloped westward.

When the Yanmen Gate was closed, the chimneys were already unrecognizable, Wang Pu looked at the newly completed fortress, and said again and again: "Good arrangement, building important industries in a strong fortress reduces the risk of leaking secrets, Wang Yan, you are very creative." "

"Young master, do you still want to take a look at the school, the children have learned to write articles, using the simplified characters and pinyin letters created by the young master, they have the ability to write articles in a year. "

"Good. "

They came out of the

fortress, turned a corner, crossed the bridge and walked for a while, it was a few newly completed brick and stone houses, simple and unpretentious, but also tidy, upstairs with a row of big characters "Yanmenguan Primary School", faintly the sound of reading came, a bamboo pole was erected in the open space in front of the house, a flag was hung, and the word "Wang" was embroidered with a big word.

Wang Pu was shocked, this was a copy of the playground of the school in later generations and raising and lowering the national flag. In a moment of surprise, the bell rang loudly, and the children in the school came out one after another, lined up in the open space, there were about 200 boys, all of them were white and clean, and their uniforms were quite elegant, which showed that Wang Yan did his best for these students. Wang Pu laughed, this scene is very familiar, isn't it the battle of the leader to inspect the school, he went to the stage to wave to the children, and he had a few drafts.

Before he could shout, suddenly the children below knelt down one after another, shouting, "Adults are safe, Shenjia Camp is victorious." "

"No, no, you shouldn't call me an adult, call me principal in the future. Wang Pu was dumbfounded, he had the memory of later generations, and he heard the children in the school call him an adult, this scene was too grotesque.

"Well, yes, you listen well, in the future, the adult will be your principal, Principal Wan An. Wang Yanhui was heartfelt, and immediately realized the beauty of the title of principal, these children are the capital to build a great cause in the future, and the young master is in the city to win people's hearts.

"Principal Wan An. "Principal Wan An. "Principal Wan An. "The mountain whistled three times.

"I've become a regular Kaishen. Wang Pu smiled bitterly, but he only acquiesced, the sons of Haoqiang in the Ming Dynasty despised martial artists and refused to serve him, so he cultivated talents by himself, and the great cause of the anti-Qing Dynasty had a long way to go.

"Young master, if you go south this time, it's good to bring a few students, so that they can hone in the army. Wang Yanjin said.

"They're too young now. Wang Pu wondered.

"There are a few older kids in the school, over the age of thirteen. "

"Thirteen years old, well, it's not bad to go to the army to do chores, our primary school, not only to train soldiers, but also to train scientists, craftsmen, scholars, doctors, are indispensable, in the future, children with excellent exam results will be picked out, set up a professional class, and temporarily set up three professional classes of medicine, chemistry, craftsmen, well, but also a navigation professional class. Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh, but in ancient times, thirteen years old was the age to come out to do things.

"Sailing?is it a navy, children with excellent grades are very precious, let them go to the navy, will it be a waste. Wang Yan hesitated.

"No, the age of sailing is coming, and top talents should be used in this regard, and the benefits cannot be monopolized by foreigners. Wang Pu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said.

"Young master, yesterday was the Qixi Festival, the slaves and maids are preparing to take a few days off, and the soldiers and generals are looking forward to reuniting with their families. Wang Yanjin said.

"I know, after a year abroad, it's time to reunite. Wang Pu said helplessly: "Wait for three days at most, the thieves in the south really can't wait." "The Vatican recites virtue

"Yes, young master, it's all up to you. Wang Yan said happily, glancing at Wang Pu, Wang Pu turned around and happened to look at her, the slightest tenderness in his eyes was collected, the incense was faintly smelled in the air, and his heart couldn't help but swing, and his heart said: The meaning of this reunion is quite rich, that is, I don't know if the waists of the soldiers can be straightened up after three days.

The next day, Wang Pu sat on the main seat with his waist up, turned over the accounts, and only raised his head in the middle of the ring, and wondered: "Why is the output declining every month?" "

"One is that the ore yard can't recruit people, and the ore collected is less, and the second is that the craftsmen are not as hard as before, and the slaves and maids tried their best, and even used torture tools, but there was still no improvement. Wang Yan bit his lip and said.

"It is absolutely inappropriate to use torture, and it cannot be used in the future. Wang Pu shook his head again and again, these craftsmen have the technology that the Shenjia Battalion relies on to survive in this world, if they are forced to rush and throw themselves into thieves, or even to the east, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Yes, young master. Wang Yan said worriedly: "Then, but we can't give too much reward to the craftsmen, after all, they are just craftsmen, and they didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, only added them, and the soldiers and generals will be unfair." "

"This is the problem of labor enthusiasm, we are a typical state-owned enterprise at the moment, after the initial passion has retreated, labor enthusiasm is not as good as before. Wang Pu knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "There are some methods, such as piece-based wages, as well as year-end bonuses, which is equivalent to drawing a cake and hanging a radish on the mule's head to let it work hard to grind the bait, but this trick can only deal with a few years, and when people's expectations become high, it will not work at that time." "

"Well, the young master can think of these ideas when he thinks about it, but the slave and maid can't be as good as the case, the slave and the maid are still too stupid. "

"Hey, that's not what I thought, only the capitalists who lack virtue and smoke can come up with these tricks to control people. "

"Who is the capitalist?" Wang Yan asked puzzled.

"This, merchant. "

"How can a merchant come up with a trick to control people if he only buys and sells goods? "

"Not the kind of small merchant who buys and sells goods, but the big merchant of the big workshop. "

"Is there such a big workshop, you still need to use the art of manipulating. Wang Yan laughed, she didn't believe it, she just thought that Wang Pu didn't want to blame himself for his lack of morality, so he used this strangely named businessman as a scapegoat.

"When a small workshop becomes bigger, it

becomes a big workshop, as long as it keeps getting bigger, sooner or later there will be a time when you need to control people. Wang Pu said with a smile.

"Yes, what the young master said is right. Wang Yan also pursed her lips and smiled, she was even more convinced that Wang Pu was talking nonsense, the workshop has become bigger, and the excess goods can only be sold far away, freight, customs taxes, and thieves and dangers on the road, wouldn't it be a loss. Unless, a thought flashed in Wang Yan's mind, and he stayed on the spot as if he was struck by lightning, only thinking: unless it is by sea, the freight can be diluted. Probably there is such a big workshop on the maritime merchant's side, could it be that the young master learned these tricks from the maritime merchant.

"I heard that the Yangzhou skinny horse in the south is very interesting. Wang Yan asked tentatively.

"Yangzhou thin horse, that,

what is that, is it a war horse. Wang Pu pretended not to know, this kind of seemingly casual questioning is the most careless, women can hold grudges for a lifetime, and they don't know where the trouble is.

"The slave and the maid don't know. Wang Yan stared at the innocent big eyes, flashed a trace of brightness, and sneered in his heart: The old lady knows that you still have collusion with the maritime merchants in Jiangnan behind your back, most of them are through Song Yang's line, no wonder Qian Qianyi is making some wooden cattle and horses in Pinglu County, could it be that Qian Qianyi is the head of the maritime business, this old man is so rich, nine times out of ten.

"This time I went south to level the thief, you go with me and help me deal with the documents, Lin Changxing stayed in Datong, and there was a lack of such a person by his side. Wang Pu said.

"Yes, young master, then, who do you want to hand over to Yanmen Pass, by the way, Chen Mingxia has been relying on Yanmen Pass, we cut off his rations, so he built a stove by himself, this bastard Wang Ba, and stole our melons and vegetables. Wang Yan said angrily.

"Haha, Wang Yan, you have learned to scold, bastard Wang Ba, the court deliberately used him to disgust me, be careful that he is secretly bad. Wang Pu said with a smile.

"Well, I was angry when I saw him, Sister Qin was so pitiful. "

"This man deserves to die, but you must not harm his life, if he dies, my reputation will stink, after all, he is a meritorious scholar. Wang Pu said helplessly, he also counted on a few Qian Qianyi's protégés, these scholars are very united in the face of martial artists, and stubborn, if a famous person is killed by Wang Pu, I am afraid that all the scholars in the world will fight with Wang Pu endlessly.

"Well, the slave does. "

"If you go with me to fight the thieves, then who should I give this place to, it seems that there is really no one else who is suitable. Wang Pu then woke up to the fact that he only had Wang Yan, a woman, who could trust him unreservedly, because according to the etiquette of this era, this woman should have been beaten to death with a stick a long time ago, Wang Pu is an outlier in this era, so he dared to fight against the etiquette, not only to save Wang Yan's life, but also to entrust the foundation. In other words, Wang Yan is in this world, only Wang Pu can live by his side, and when Wang Pu is defeated, she can only be martyred, and there is no other way out.

This is the real alliance of life and death, Wang Pu smiled bitterly, therefore, Yanmen Pass can only be handed over to Wang Yan, and must not be handed over to others, otherwise, Wang Pu will definitely die without a place to be buried. His enemies are all too smart, all of them are famous figures in the history books, Wang Pu is just an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications, except for some basic education knowledge of later generations, he has nothing to offer.

Wang Pu almost fell into despair, in the last days when the edifice collapsed, how many chances can a couple of men and women have to change their lives against the sky, and they can't do anything.

"Perhaps, I should think differently, what does it matter to me if the thieves are uneven, why don't I cooperate with the thief army. Wang Pu's gloomy face appeared with a smile, yes, the Ming Dynasty will die, neither can be saved, nor is it worth saving, so follow the situation and step on its corpse to reap the benefits.

"We don't have to go south to quell the thief's chaos, just let him go down, but this world is so rotten that there is no help. "

"So, what about those industries in Pinglu County. Wang Yan asked melancholy

"The location of Pinglu County is too bad, in the future, the thief army

will flow back and forth between the Central Plains and Shaanxi, Pinglu County is in the middle, and there is no danger to defend, this kind of place can only be abandoned, or send someone to make a secret agreement with the thief army first, as long as they don't attack Pinglu County, we will not attack him. "

"This treats the symptoms but not the root cause, alas, our people are by the Great Wall and the Yellow River, in a thin line, so it is too easy to be sneak attacked, and there is no natural danger to rely on. Wang Yan sighed.

"Yes, it's a matter of heaven. Let me think again. "

"Young master, we are not friends with Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, so we might as well move the shipyard in Pinglu County to Laizhou, and it will be more convenient for the Gyeonggi trade route. Wang Yanjin said.

"No, no, Denglai is not our territory. Wang Pu shook his head again and again, there is another unspeakable reason for this, there will be a Wuqiao Mutiny in the future, and the war will ravage the whole of Shandong.

"Is the young master saying that this Sun Yuanhua is unreliable? Wang Yan was very puzzled and asked.

"He may be reliable, but civilian, I'm a general. Wenwu Shutu. Wang Pu smiled, I don't know what the reason is, he always can't trust Sun Yuanhua, although in this era, according to the rules of the game of the party, Sun Yuanhua is his closest ally. However, Wang Pu preferred to collude with the eunuch Gao Qiqian. Thinking about it carefully, it may be because Sun Yuanhua is very likely to be a good person loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he is a traitor who wants to rebel.

"Poof, okay, the slave and maid are all in charge of the young master. Wang Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said, but he soon changed his face, puffed out his cheeks, crossed his waist, and said obedient words in his mouth.

Wang

Pu heard that Wang Yan actually had a reproach in his heart, so he said: "Sun Yuanhua, a fellow disciple, is not a person from the same family as me, so he can't come reluctantly." "

"Anyway, we must grasp this person well, he is your

backer's protégé, your protégé is fake, he is genuine, if you don't make friends with this person, what will your backer think, even if it is to prevent the backer from having different intentions, we must also grasp this Sun Yuanhua. Wang Yan categorically counted the landing.

"Got it, got it, housekeeper, I brought a lot of cavalry, and Yanmen couldn't hold so many soldiers. Wang Pu was busy talking about him.

"I divided a part of the troops to garrison Taiyuan, and you brought that guerrilla, I can't believe him, and I sent him to Taiyuan. "

"Well, this guerrilla is very good at sycophancy, and he probably worships me. Wang Pu couldn't help but say proudly, in the early years of Chongzhen, the generals had not nourished too much unsubordinate, and the Ming Dynasty was still powerful for more than three hundred years. Therefore, Wang Pu has the strength to confront the imperial court and is not afraid of civil officials, in the eyes of his colleagues, he is raising his eyebrows for the martial arts.
