Chapter 423

"...After that, another minister advised the Empress Dowager that this army has been corrupted from top to bottom, and the officers have been corrupt, which has caused the army to lose its morale. Moreover, this army has been lax in training for a long time, and the current plan is to appease it. This military wing should find another good strategy."

"Afterwards, the Empress Dowager asked Ning Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, saying that since the Ministry of Industry was very busy, it was difficult to allocate manpower for the general to serve as a supervisor. Then the military registration of this soldier was removed and transferred to me as the general. For monitoring."

"At that time, quite a few ministers stood up and objected, thinking that the empress dowager's actions were a bit rash, not to mention that the system of the Xiang army came from the hands of the emperor Taizu."

"But later, the Empress Dowager said that if you ministers are not willing, then I will use my methods to continue the thorough investigation to see how many officials are involved in this military incident..."

"In the end, almost none of the ministers dared to say anything more. After all, although this army is called an army, in fact, local officials in various places often use those soldiers as servants. It has long been a common practice. If If you let the empress dowager check it out, hehe..."

Even though Chen Andao was sitting one table away from Wang Yang, the flying spittle still looked quite pervasive.

Wang Yang and Tu Shan both quietly tried to move their buttocks back. After all, no one wanted to be sprayed all over their faces by a big boss.

As soon as Chen Andao finished his long speech, Tu Shan took the lead. "Sir, what you mean is that the soldiers of that army will be supervised and deployed by our general. Doesn't that mean that most of the shortage of soldiers before the Number One Scholar has been solved?"

"That's natural. I have to say, Wang Wushan, your luck is really good..." Chen Andao picked up the tea on the table, raised his neck and drank it in one gulp, and said with satisfaction.

With these manpower, plus the property that the Ministry of Industry has promised to put in place, work can start as soon as the renovation of the toilets and ditches in the imperial palace over there by Wang Yang is completed.

"Thanks to the great blessing of the Empress Dowager, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief as an official." Wang Yang said with a dry smile, um... he didn't mention his appearance at all, that's great, at least this way , no one knew that it was because they accidentally saw such a team of soldiers, and no one expected that it would cause such a big incident.

Regardless, this is equivalent to doing a good thing in disguise.Moreover, he can also obtain an army of soldiers in time to become his own manpower.

The number of Xiang soldiers in an army is 500. Even though most of the Xiang soldiers are old and weak, there are also a considerable number of young and strong ones, but not all of them have been recovered and returned to the military. However, according to Chen Andao, About half of the soldiers in that army are young and strong.

That is to say, there are more than 16 people between the ages of 35 and 1000. It doesn’t matter if the rest of the staff are either older or younger. People are also needed to guard the construction site. In addition, there are not no young people Where it comes in handy, let them learn the delicate work of laying tiles, at least it is much easier than carrying mortar and cement.

Wang Yang left Chen Andao's office with Tu Shan in a very happy mood, and when he was walking towards the school office on the right, a word from Tu Shan next to him made Wang Yang's brain CPU almost crash due to overheating.

"By the way, Mr. Zhuangyuan, I heard that many officials and gentry homes in Bianliang have begun to renovate the new-style toilets, using the Zhuangyuan bucket..."

"Wait a minute, what do the last four words of what you just said mean?" Wang Yang looked at this frail and shriveled old man with a black look on his face. If it weren't for his age, Wang Yang really had the urge to challenge this old guy to a duel.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, are you asking about Zhuangyuan Tong?" Tu Shan smiled, his old chrysanthemum face was smiling like a blooming dragon's claw chrysanthemum.

"Who gave that porcelain toilet such a name?" Wang Yang asked calmly, suppressing his anger.

"I really don't know about this, but everyone calls it that. After all, you personally designed this thing, Zhuangyuan Gong. I don't know which user felt that the porcelain toilet screams awkwardly and doesn't sound good. In addition, this thing was made by the dignified Zhuangyuan Gong, so..."

"That's how the name came about. Everyone knows that the shitting thing is called the Number One Bucket, right?" Wang Yang's face turned black, and his mouth started to tremble a little. His liver and balls hurt so much. , It hurts so much that I can't bear it.

Tushan, the old fool, continued to move forward, nagging. "Why don't you, Lord No. [-] Scholar, calm down? Isn't this a bad name? Do you think this thing is not like the Cai Hou paper and does not mention your surname and official position?"

"...Of course not, fortunately not." At this moment, Wang Yang suddenly felt surprisingly lucky. Fortunately, those bastards only called that thing the Number One Scholar Bucket, not Wang Yang Bucket, or Wang You Campus Bucket , otherwise, Wang Yang will feel like there is a stain that will accompany him throughout his life.

But then again, who the idiot gave that porcelain toilet such a bad name, and it spread like wildfire.It really makes the No. [-] Scholar Wang feel very bad. The No. [-] Scholar Bucket...

Thinking about it makes me feel very unhappy, but fortunately, the manpower problem that Wang Yang worries most about the Bianliang toilet ditch project has finally been solved.

#####
Three days later, the officials from the Guards Bingma Division found the general supervisor, brought the roster, and led Chen Andao, the general supervisor, and Wang Yang and others to the prison outside Bianliang City. barracks.

When those Xiang soldiers learned that they and others had actually left the Xiang Army and became full-time craftsmen serving as general supervisors, many of them began to cry loudly.

Of course, it was not a sad cry, but a cry for the rest of their lives. After all, the exploitation of their military pay by the officers before them and the enslavement of them really made them feel worse than death.

Now, the court punished those bastards for their crimes, and also ransacked the homes of those officers, sold those properties, turned them into money, and reissued the military salaries for the past few years, and now they are still resettling themselves When he arrived, he became a supervisor and became a craftsman.

This made these people cry bitterly and praise the kindness of the Queen Mother.Seeing such a scene, Wang Dacai also felt panicked in his heart, but fortunately, most of the Xiang army's young and strong have been sent back, but there are still about two hundred who were sent to the mine. Yes, it will take some time to get back here.

Also arriving this time was a group of officials who would serve as prison guards. After they waited for these people to get excited, they began to record the roster by head, and asked these people to draw and stamp their fingerprints. From now on, they will no longer belong to the Xiang army system, but will Become a craftsman who will serve as an overseer.

"Are those little guys too young for us to want?" A clerk hurried over and pointed at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing in front of his desk with the roster. Wang Yang asked.

"Yes, they definitely need it. Then they can do some technical work that is delicate and does not require much physical strength." Wang Yang nodded and replied.
