Mystery Makes Me Strong

In the end, the three of them only gave 10,000 taels to the governor's yamen, which was used to buy peace.

"If we weren't someone from the palace, if it wasn't from the Jia family, then we would have to give 300,000 taels." Jia Baoyu said angrily.

"No, without these two things, we wouldn't be able to achieve the scale they demanded for 300,000 taels of filial piety." Jia Lian said coldly.

"In this case, why don't we build an army with a budget of 300,000 taels from the beginning?" Jia Rong suggested.

This is a matter of course.

It's just that none of the three of them expected to come so soon.

They thought it would take a few more years until the scale was even bigger, at least with an annual income of 10 million taels.

"According to Ji Xiao's new book, a new army with combat effectiveness that can sweep other feudal armies needs to spend 12 taels of food silver plus 3 taels of clothing and hat subsidies... 10 taels for beheading one person, 300 taels for beheading 10 people Two, the more you kill, the more you will pay... The fixed expenditure is 24 taels per year, which is roughly equivalent to the income of an oil seller in a normal year in the capital." Jia Lian said.

It seems that he has already started researching.

"Sure enough, the truth is the same in the world, and the beheading of the army also needs KPI."

"300,000 taels, let me do the math. It's only enough for 10,000 people to spend a year. Once there is a battle, the budget will be doubled by five times, which is 1.5 million taels. This battle is really not easy to fight. No wonder the court in the middle and late I don't want to fight." Jia Baoyu sighed.

"Ten thousand people is enough to make us hedgehogs. At least if we want to collect our protection fee, we need a few more heads." Jia Rong gritted his teeth and paid.

The rebellion must be prepared as early as possible, prepare early, and act late.

Generally, if you are forced to start in advance, you are basically not far from failure.

"Then, should we start hiring troops and buying muskets now?" Jia Baoyu asked.

"Of course not, but to buy a blacksmith's shop, a garment shop, and establish a military industry related to the army." Jia Lian said.

"It always feels a bit troublesome. The three of us alone are not enough." Jia Rong felt dizzy when she thought about the details.

"Yeah, so we need to recruit some potential rebels."

"Wait, before that, I want to ask, how high is the chance of this rebellion succeeding?" Jia Baoyu asked.

If it's not high, he'd better marry Sister Lin honestly, and let Xue Baochai remarry after Sister Lin dies.

This is more realistic.

At least meet the minimum customs clearance requirements.

"To analyze this probability, we need to figure out why the Westerners did not defeat the big Eastern dynasty in the end, and could only rule it by proxy?" Jia Lian asked.

"It's very simple, four words, too far away." Jia Rong said directly.

Jia Baoyu nodded slightly.

Yes, there is no complicated reason, but the distance is too far, and technology does not support such a large-scale delivery.

And the barbarians are far worse than the Westerners, and much more barbaric, but they can rule the Eastern dynasties again and again, but they are too close.

And they are willing to directly absorb the foundation of the Eastern Dynasty, the landlord scholar-officials, into the ruling class... This is the most important thing.

Whoever cannot accomplish this will not be able to rule it in a stable manner.

"Okay, our next step is to select rebels. There are basically two types of rebels since ancient times. One is those who don't have enough to eat, and the second is those who are full."

"There are too few people who are full, and the most people are still hungry."

After the three discussed it together, they acted.

Of course, you can't tell them directly that you want to rebel. This is too far beyond people's psychological limits.

Jia Lian only said to the workers in the factory: "We must protect our factory. The factory is my home, and everyone loves it. The factory is the rice bowl of the big guys. Our money, residence, and the basic necessities of the family all depend on the factory. .”

The first factory guard team is initially set at 300 people.

The workers readily accepted this.

After all, I come to work every day, pay every month, give gifts during the four festivals, and visit the elderly at the end of the year.

These common tricks of later generations of factories are big killers in this era.

Isn't the reason why everyone yearns for Jia's mansion is because the servants are doing well in it?

The slaves have become masters.

If it was really a sweatshop, the people from the Jia Mansion would have left long ago.

"Recently there have been bandits outside, and people often spy on our factory. We need to organize a factory protection team. The people in the factory protection team only work half a day, get double pay, work in the morning, train in the afternoon, and take two days off every ten days."

Workers readily accept this statement.

After all, big families have guards and teams to protect the village.

This is a common occurrence.

How did they know that as long as they insisted on the idea of ​​"protecting the factory", as the factory got bigger and bigger, they would overthrow the entire court sooner or later.

Because only in that way can the factory be protected.

The feudal court could not accommodate large-scale factories.

There is only one thing, too many workers gather together, go to work uniformly every day, and natural rebel groups cannot be tolerated by the court.

This is the reason why most miners in the past dynasties were afraid of the imperial court. It is for this reason that folk mining is always prohibited.

Jia Lian didn't say much, but let the shopkeeper, the foreman, and the eunuch... say it day by day, month by month: "Protect the factory. If there is a factory, there will be a job. Otherwise, you will live on the street and become a refugee."

There are no messy theoretical ideas, and workers who are refugees and urban bankrupts don't understand too many things.

As long as they know that the protected factories will have jobs and wages, that's all.

The three of Jia Lian knew that rebellion would be a matter of course.

Because the feudal lords will take the initiative to force the workers to the corner.

And they, who came from later generations, fully know how fierce the workers can be to fight in order to protect the factory.

The fighting power is much stronger than that of peasants.

Workers work together every day, and assembly line work itself is highly organized.

They are natural troops.

They lined up to work together every day, cooperated with each other for many years, and obeyed the orders of the foreman.

Just turn a factory around a little and it can become an army.

For example, it is enough to replace the foreman with the platoon leader, the workshop director with the company commander, and the factory director with the battalion commander.

This is an organized army.

The small peasant economy will not work.

Farmers are scattered and work one by one.

Naturally, there is a lack of organization, so tragedies often occur in which a small number of government servants force a large number of villagers to death.

The mobilization force of industrialization is even more terrifying.

An industrial country with a population of 80 million can mobilize an army of 10 million.

The pharmaceutical factory Jia Lian and the others set up can be directly used in wartime.

To provide medicine and food, the process of making medicine is much more rigorous than that of making food.

As long as the assembly line is slightly modified and the input is replaced by grain, dry grain during wartime can be exported there.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the best medicine in this era is...high protein, high fat and high salt.

80% of the patients died of malnutrition.

That way they solved the logistical problem.

Then there is the arms industry.

Muskets, cannons.

The weapon factory chain in this era is not too complicated, and the handicraft workshop can complete the work.

If we push it back, the modern military industry is no longer a system that can be completed by a single country.

If you want a musket, you must first have good iron. The second is to have a lathe.

Guns can be processed by hand.

At this time in the West, many muskets were made by hand.

But they didn't buy the blacksmith shop, because the target was too obvious and too scattered to be protected in wartime.

They need a coal and iron center.

I chose an island with coal and iron, and spent money to buy land.

The names of the four masters are not easy to use, so they can't use it here. In the end, they offered 20,000 taels to the nearby big pirate leader, and the island was taken down.

As for why the pirate leader was willing to accept the 20,000 taels, it was because the Xue family found someone who promised to give them extra stock.

Pirate leaders need goods on land to have a foundation...

Loop collusion.

After taking down the island, they began to transport people and refugees upward.

Feudal society lacks everything and no shortage of refugees, it just depends on which year you were a refugee.

When there are people, they start to reclaim some land, grow vegetables, and grow rice...the main thing is to burn the soil for tropical diseases such as dysentery.

Burn the grass, shrubs, and woodland, leaving only the windbreak.

Then there is coal mining, iron ore mining, and blast furnace construction...

Then there is gunpowder.

They are pharmaceutical and there is no shortage of sulfur.

Because sulfur is originally a traditional Chinese medicine.

And medicine requires alchemy.

I am an alchemist, so it is normal to make gunpowder.

Ordinarily, the court's management of these things is very strict.

The problem is that no matter how strict it is, it cannot withstand the power of this silver.

In short, money opens the way, and everything is available.

…………

The three-year period has come, and Jia Baoyu has left the mountain... no, he is going to be an official.

In the general environment, Jia Rong and Jia Lian are engaged in the army and guns. Judging by the scale of industrial development, it will take at least ten years before they can be promoted.

The industry is always weak at the beginning, but as long as it takes ten years, once it takes shape, it will quickly replicate itself and then seek a market.

As long as the market is hungry for manufactured goods, industry will expand rapidly.

A growth rate of 500% or even thousands of percent a year is completely impossible in an agricultural society, but it is commonplace in an industrial society.

Jia Rong and the others have a musketeer team of 5,000 men and 20 bronze cannons.

Of course, more than half of these weapons were purchased from Western maritime merchants.

There are still very few muskets and cannons that can be made by themselves.

But it was enough to protect the island's industries, and even the big pirate leader wisely lowered the protection fee by 5,000 for two years.

Of course, a conflict between the two sides is brewing, and the big pirate leader does not allow anyone to challenge his maritime status.

It's just that there are people in Jia's court.

This allowed the pirate chief to be patient for a while.

When they are not reconciled to being a manufacturer, but want to be a channel, it will be the time when the two sides will tear each other apart.

At this time, in the internal environment, Jia Baoyu had already passed the three-year inspection period, and was officially appointed as the head of the Ministry of Punishment, a sixth-rank official.

This happened to be Zhao Han's old profession.

After coming to the Ministry of Punishment, she looked through the mountain-like files, which opened her eyes. In short, there are only three words:

Black, black, black.

It's really easy for them to settle the case here.

Bao Gong, Song Ci, Di Renjie... don't exist.

What exists is the board, the wooden shackle, the leather whip, the soldering iron, and the clamp.

Under the three trees, there is nothing.

Then there is silver.

For example, if someone died on a certain street today, it is a homicide.

The yamen servants rushed over like wolves like tigers.

The first thing they pay attention to is not who the murderer is, but which family in the vicinity is rich.

This requires the scribes of the yamen's door to tell them which nearby family has money.

Then I tried to find a way to put the suspicion on this family as much as possible.

If this family has power, such as someone in the court, or a bully in the local area, I'm sorry, I apologize.

Change to another one.

As for how to talk about it, first of all, it is the person who reported the crime. If he has no background and is not Li Zheng, then he will be beaten up directly and let him confess that he saw who killed the person.

Arrest people based on their confessions. After they are caught, they will see how much money they have spent. If they have enough money, they will be released and exchanged for another...

After half a year, I had enough to eat and drink, and the higher-ups asked for a job.

Just look for any passers-by, catch them and beat them up, if it doesn't work, just catch some beggars on the street.

After the three sticks went down, let them admit that they were the murderers.

In short, Zhao Han, just looking at the file, does not require much in-depth analysis ability. Basically, it can be determined that more than 80% of the murderers are unjust cases, and they are all arrested to replace them.

For example, a beggar can actually enter a deep house compound in the middle of the night to kill someone, and then sleep peacefully in the temple the next day.

It was written in the file that there was a dog hole in the compound, and beggars got into it to kill people.

It seems reasonable.

However, the murder weapon was not found. It was said that the beggar had thrown it into the river, but the nearest river was a hundred miles away.

As for the motive, the beggar wants to steal silver.

Witnesses, no.

As for why it was said that a beggar killed him, the reason was that early the next morning, someone heard him say that he was going to kill a certain lord because the other party did not reward him.

As for the evidence, confession is the biggest evidence...

After Zhao Han saw these cases, he had only one feeling: against, must be against.

If you have the conditions, you must rebel, if you don't have the conditions, you must rebel.

Time travel without rebellion, chrysanthemum set electric drill.

Kneel down to the emperor, but I can't kneel down!

On this day, she went to duty again.

After a group of fox friends and dog friends nodded and greeted each other, they began to drink tea.

After drinking until the afternoon and sleeping, everyone started working.

What, work early in the morning?

Don't die...

That's the treatment only available to the ministers who can go to court. Those who work in the yamen, they can be lazy if they can.

Anyway, if you do more, you will have more work.

Zhao Han was in the same dust as the light, and he didn't do anything special.

In the afternoon, she got a case from the book office outside.

Because the crime occurred in a county near the capital, it was taken seriously and had to be dealt with.

The case is adultery.

It is about an adulterer who commits adultery with an adulteress and kills her own husband.

Zhao Han took a closer look and found that there were too many loopholes.

The husband died, and the murder weapon was said to be a kitchen knife, but the deceased's head was chopped off.

Can a kitchen knife and a woman get the job done?

And the big question is, where is the adulterer?

The file says the adulterer fled.

The adulterer fled, only to catch a woman as the murderer in the end?

What chain of evidence, what ironclad evidence, does not exist.

However, Zhao Han still found a clue from the only information available.

The complainant is the husband's brother.

And this husband has 200 mu of irrigated land, and there are two shops in the county...

There is also a 9-year-old son.

The male is 14 years old.

If a woman survives for another 5 years, her husband will die and her son will be able to rely on her son to live, support the family business, and live well by collecting rent.

Zhao Han immediately understood what was going on.

There is a high probability that the husband died of a sudden illness in middle age, and the brother insisted on making a big deal and creating an unwarranted adulterer.

If she doesn't take care of it, 100% of the yamen servants will follow their brothers, scoop up ten acres of good land, force a woman to death, and return her son to the care of the devil.

Three years later, the son died of illness, and the demon annexed the land and shops.

A simple story.

Is it more likely to be a homicide, or is it more likely to be extinct?

Why are men the gods in feudal society?

Because the value of force in feudal society depends on men.

You, a woman, can't enter the yamen casually. Once you enter the yamen, you won't be able to tell.
