Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said calmly: "You go back now and try your best to find out the movements in Laizhou Prefecture. If there is any new information, send someone to report me immediately. At the same time, send someone to pay close attention to the movements of the two pig-bearded boats of the Tartars! It will take twelve hours a day to monitor them all day! There must be no omissions!"
The mouse agreed to go.
Zhang Zhun paced back and forth in the Qianhu Official Hall, thinking for a while, and finally came to the marshal's workshop. The marshal's workshop had already started to produce the Tiger Ben gun with all his might. However, the guards must be equipped with the Tiger Ben gun, and at least until late July. If the Tartars attacked at this time, the battle situation would be even more tragic.
To this end, Zhang Zhun ordered all the soldiers of the guard team to carry out intensive assassination training. At the same time, the second-line armed forces, guerrillas, etc. were all ready for tough battles. If the guard team could not meet the needs, they would take the lead. In addition to personally supervising the daily training of the guard team, Zhang Zhun also took time to conduct short-term and fast training for the backbone of the armed forces and guerrillas.
At the same time, Shengxia Zong also held a special meeting. Zhang Zhun emphasized at the meeting that all the people in Fushan City must be mentally prepared to fight bad wars. Although Zhang Zhun did not propose the Tartars on Tianheng Island for the purpose of keeping the secret. However, some smart people have already thought of this.
Last time, the Tartars attacked Maojiatun, which caused considerable losses to the people, and everyone hated the Tartars to the core. This time, if the Tartars dared to come, the people would definitely fight against the Tartars. Of course, Mao Sanye was the most determined one. He was also a person who had been on the battlefield. He vaguely felt that if the Tartars were to attack Fushan City, they would most likely land in Maojiatun. In other words, Maojiatun must be the first to be destroyed.
"Yulin, we will do whatever you want us to do!"
"If we frown, we are not men!"
Master Mao San took the lead in expressing his determination.
Other backbones also expressed their opinions that they would fight to the death with the enemy.
The son of the Xia Zong was united and ready to rub his hands, which made Zhang Zhun feel very satisfied.
The military and civilians are united as one heart, let’s see who can compete in the world!
This sentence is definitely not a false reputation!
Time passes quickly, and it is July 14th, Ghost Festival.
Conventionally, Fushan City also holds some celebrations.
The Ghost Festival in the seventh year of Chongzhen was the first major folk festival after the change of Fushan City. Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu, Hou Shanping and others meant that they wanted to make the festival atmosphere a little more grand and show that it was different from the past. Because of the business of refined salt purification, each household had some money and was much more abundant at hand than before. At the same time, they could divide the fields and were full of hope for the future. People were always happy when they had hope. Therefore, this Ghost Festival was not enough to be lively.
In fact, from July 13th, Fushan City has become very lively. Many merchants from Jimo County took their own goods to Fushan City to sell them. The goods were varied and there were all kinds of goods. The best-selling ones were naturally all kinds of fabrics, and then various daily necessities. Various supplies from women's houses and children's toys also appeared in Fushan City for the first time. In the past, these things had to be bought in Jimo County. No one was willing to deliver them to their doorstep because the purchasing power of the military households was too low.
But now it's different.
Now, almost all businesses in Jimo know that Fushan City has made money recently. Although there was a riot in Fushan City, they were suspected of "investors" in business with Fushan City, and they still flocked to them. By the way, riots are really nothing these days. If you heard that there were riots and business was not done, then this business would never be done. Have there been any riots in the entire Shandong, even the entire Jiangbei region? The rebels in Shaanxi have already wandered in three provinces.
The riots in Fushan City have actually been suppressed and spread within a relatively small range. Neither Aoshanwei nor Laizhou Prefecture were willing to let their superiors know. Therefore, there has never been a public notice saying that Fushan City is a "rebels". In fact, the riots in Fushan City have been known for a long time. However, as long as there is no formal report, the superiors are too lazy to care more. Nowadays, it is not easy for everyone to go out to make a living. It is better to have less trouble than to have more things.
The Shandong Dusi is unwilling to take on such troubles. In war, you have to pay for food. Now the court’s money and food are so tense, and it is impossible to rely on the court to allocate it. Only fools will do this. As for the Denglai Army Preparation... the internal affairs of your garrison, your garrison will solve the problem within your garrison... Our garrison has no idea who to make up for the shortage of money and food!
"Yulin, go home for dinner tonight." Yang Yinghan came happily when the Tartars might have launched an attack.
Yang Yinghan looked quite happy today, her face was flushed and she became more charming. As her living conditions improved, her food, clothing, housing and transportation gradually improved, and she looked more charming. She was still so kind in front of Zhang Zhun, with a little shyness.
"I understand, go back on time." Zhang Zhun nodded and said.
Yang Yinghan looked at his face carefully, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhang Zhun said gently: "What's wrong? What's the matter? In front of me, what can I say?"
Yang Yinghan said with some concern: "It's so lively outside. Can you go out for a walk? You're bored here all day... I'm worried that you'll get sick. You just came back from Lingshanwei and you didn't seem to have stopped. You keep going like this every day, even the iron man can't stand it!"
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "I'm not bored here, I'm thinking about things."
Yang Yinghan said coquettishly: "You can try to relax yourself for a day! No one can do it for a day? Is that okay for half a day? The people who perform acrobatics outside look very good, please accompany me out for a look! Both of them have gone. I want to go with you to see it!"
When Zhang Zhun heard the acrobatic performance, his heart moved slightly, and two red and white figures appeared in front of him. I wonder if they would come to Fushan City? If they came, they would have to do their best as a landlord. Nodded, Zhang Zhun said happily: "Okay."
Yang Yinghan was overjoyed and wanted to hold his hand when she came up. Suddenly she felt very shy and hurriedly stepped back. Her face was pink, shy, and a little joy. Fortunately, there was no outsider next to her, otherwise, she might have turned around and ran away.
Zhang Zhun laughed, stepped forward and held her little hand, gracefully and unpretentiously, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"
The military households in Fushan City all know that Yang Yinghan is his woman, and he doesn't care about being intimate in front of others at all. What kind of men and women should not kiss each other? What are your own women afraid of? Whoever dares to pull their tongues behind her back and is beaten up by Zhang Zhun knows that she will definitely be beaten up! This is also to tell those who are not very eye-catching. This is my woman, and no one of you should have any idea! Otherwise, you will die miserably!
When he came outside with Yang Yinghan, Zhang Zhun found that it was indeed very lively outside, and it was a bit beyond his expectations. Fushan City was not very big, with two steps and three temples and ten steps and three bridges. This is not only the main building of Fushan City, but also shows that Fushan City's space is indeed too small and there is little room for maneuvering.
On both sides of Cross Street, there were crowds of people and noisy noises. In the past, Cross Street had only seven or eight sparse shops on both sides, and the storefronts were still too old. There were very few customers coming to visit, and the shopkeepers often lie on the counter and doze off. But now, the number of shops in Fushan City has increased to more than 30. The open spaces on both sides of Cross Street have been occupied by shops. Various shops are lined up in a row, and the momentum is quite spectacular.
Later merchants had to find ways to buy houses along the street before they could transform them into shops. Although such "demolition" would require an additional fee and increase the cost, no merchant was willing to miss this opportunity. Many merchants privately believed that the future commercial trade in Fushan City would definitely exceed that of Jimo County. Taking advantage of the low price now, it would definitely be beneficial to lay a nail here in the future.
"Beyond Jimo County? I'm so embarrassed to say it? What is Jimo County?"
"My goal is to build Qingdao into the largest maritime trading port in the Ming Dynasty!"
When Zhang Zhun saw the report on the development of merchants' trade for the first time, he quietly talked to himself in his heart. Now, the merchants who entered Fushan City will definitely laugh so hard that they will not see each other. At this time, the merchants who did not settle in Fushan City will definitely regret it in the future.
"It's just juggling over there!"
"They're both there too!"
Yang Yinghan pointed to the front happily.
Zhang Zhun turned his head and saw that the platform had been set up on the west side. On the platform, someone was performing juggling hard. In front of the platform, there were already a large number of people surrounded by three layers inside and three layers inside and three layers outside. Although it was not as exaggerated as the ancient town, it was quite surprising. It seems that in ancient times without modern entertainment, juggling was indeed very popular!
"Look, it looks so beautiful." Yang Yinghan shouted happily.
"Yeah, it looks good." Zhang Zhun answered absent-mindedly.
He thought that the people who performed juggling were the Red Lady and White Lady he saw in the ancient town. Unexpectedly, although the women on the stage were women, they were a group of very young girls, who might be less than ten years old. Their juggling performance was indeed very exciting, but for Zhang Zhun, it was just juggling.
