Chapter 587: Flowers everywhere

When they were about to go to the martial arts school to beat the horse, many people gathered together to discuss. Chen Ao was curious and got off the horse at the entrance of the school and asked a captain who was on duty outside: "What's going on? So many people gather?"

The lieutenant said: "The Cai family said they were going to propose marriage, and a team of people came over to propose marriage."

Chen Ao said: "That old guy Cai Jing is going to get married?"

The captain immediately coughed and said, "It's a Cai family named Cai Lun who is going to the King of Jin's Mansion."

Chen Ao's face showed surprise, and then said, "I believe this kind of rumors? Don't pay attention to it." Then he walked into the martial arts school with all his thoughts.

The Martial Arts School is basically on track, and now it is the third phase of recruitment of lieutenants, so the instructors and doctors are very busy. Chen Ao arrived at the Mingwu Hall and saw Zhou Chu lowering his head and catching his pen and writing with frown. Although he was an instructor, he could not be lazy at night classes. He had to follow him. He really took his life to be a rude man like him and read and write. After more than half a year of hard work, he could finally read and write. At this time, he was writing the charter for recruiting lieutenants of the Navy.

Seeing Chen Ao coming, Zhou Chu immediately threw away his pen and said carelessly: "Prince."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "You're busy with yours." After that, he sat on his desk and read the documents that had been deposited together. After an hour, he realized that Zhou Chu had left quietly. He stretched and called several doctors to ask questions. He was just a few urging words, and then said, "At this time next year, the first batch of lieutenants will be released, and they will be placed on the side of the Ma Junsi first."

The doctor nodded.

Then Chen Ao asked about the customization of Penglai military port and warships. Now that a large amount of money has been spent, Penglai has recruited 70,000 craftsmen to work day and night, in full swing. In addition, the imperial court and Shen Ao sent people to supervise and supervise them again and again. Several supervisors and buildings there have also been photographing the breasts to ensure that they can be completed before the New Year. They can roughly build seven docks first, and land barracks and water villages can be prepared, so it is no problem to moor a thousand large ships. Others can only be expanded slowly.

The real trouble is warships. Nowadays, not only warships are available at major ports, but also merchant ships are in short supply. Those skilled craftsmen are tight in the docks and are recruiting everywhere. The court wants to build ships, and it is very difficult to recruit. The ships originally expected to be customized within the year will be postponed.

Even the recruitment of the navy encountered difficulties; those who are capable are willing to be sailors. After all, the monthly money of being a sailor is higher, and there is no risk of life. No matter how high the salary of the sailor is, it still has a top priority. Whose boat is not to run? Why do you have to eat the food of being a soldier?

Chen Ao could only go to the Ministry of Revenue and urged officials at all levels to post public notices to recruit young and strong labor. In fact, labor has long been in short supply. Docks require manpower, go to sea, kiln factories, mulberry planting, and silk yards all need manpower. Originally, refugees from various prefectures and counties rushed to the port. It is said that in Suzhou and Hangzhou, a silk yard can reach thousands of people, and every household has raw silk scattered, and even some women are willing to go there to do work.

A large amount of silk and porcelain are all supplied for export. The sea trade continues to expand, and the export volume also increases sharply. At the same time, due to the large amount of exports, all industries have flourished. Merchants have made a lot of money and naturally are willing to buy more silk, satin, porcelain and various luxury goods. In the past, refugees have now become workers who work, and have the spare money in their hands, and they are willing to purchase some things to subsidize their household income. This cycle is not only the expansion of sea trade, but also the industry is more prosperous and developed. Shops are opened one by one, and a large amount of goods is urgently needed on the shelves, and more workshops are born.

Workshops are the most manpowerful, and they must be recruited in large quantities. In this cycle, the result is that workers who work can no longer be satisfied with eating and drinking as before, and need more daily necessities, so consumption increases and they urgently need various commodities. Therefore, in order to manufacture these commodities, more workshops emerged, and as a result, more people become workers. The demand for new workers is also large, but the demand is more. With demand, the scale of the workshop becomes larger.

The final result is that the seeds sown by Chen Ao continue to expand, as if they have not stopped, sucking all the labor in a steady stream.

Chen Ao heard the various news sent by the doctor, and couldn't help but feel scared. If God expands like this uncontrollable, he knows what it will become in the future? It's fine now, but if the expansion reaches a certain level and the market is saturated, it will be a crisis. Once those workers leave the land, encounter crisis and lose their livelihood, will they all starve to death?

Now that the arrow is on the string, I have to fire it, and I can't help but Chen Ao said anything else. He vaguely remembered that once the market is saturated, it is what to use to open the market when opening the market? It's just force. After opening Pandora's box, I don't know how much killing it will add. It's okay to say in Nanyang. The Song Dynasty was right and could negotiate and resolve it based on its former reputation, but other places could only be solved by war.

The so-called system of benevolence, righteousness and morality will sooner or later be eroded. The so-called capital principle is actually to live and die and cannot open the market. The workshops in the Song Dynasty fell down one by one and never could get up again. Countless people lost their livelihoods and entered the next cycle under hunger and despair. Either they would open more markets, and any resistance would be opened with force. Those who follow it will prosper, those who go against it will perish, and countless heads and blood will be used to lay the foundation for this fruit of greed.

In fact, at this time, officials and scholars everywhere also complained, saying that the port was open, and everyone only knew how to pursue profits, not anything else, and the rituals and music were broken.

In fact, Chen Ao also knew that pursuing profits has become a fashion, especially many people get rich overnight, which makes many people unable to sit still. If this were the case in the past, a certain squire was rich, and although everyone was jealous, they would not dare to say anything. They are the master, you are a tenant, and have been like this for generations. What's the difference? But now, your neighbor and your friend suddenly have a furious clothes and horses. The guy who used to pile sand with you had bare butt actually lived in a big mansion. At this time, people's desire for profits gradually became clear, slowly Accumulation is certainly not possible, so all kinds of opportunities are born. No wonder scholars beat their chests and stamp their feet. They say that etiquette is broken and music is broken, and everyone is obsessed with. They have to repeat a few old things that have never closed their doors at night during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors periods, and people are talking about the beautiful eras of the pre-Tang Dynasty. Anyway, no one knows what it is like for such a long time, and no one is too careful to investigate. You say that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, the people are simple, and each has its own business, and others cannot refute it. Even if they refute, they will not listen.

If someone asks Chen Ao, Chen Ao can only say: "This is the best era, this is the worst era." He no longer argues with others. His main job is not to argue, but to water the fruits, while also being careful not to be retaliated by the fruits.

Recruiting sailors is urgent; Chen Ao listened to the doctor's words and pondered for a moment, saying in a deep voice: "It must be recruited. If it really doesn't work, you can relax some restrictions. This matter is urgent. Next, I will go to the Ministry of War and tell Cai Tao that the Ministry of War cannot complete the quota. I will kill him to the Ministry of War and ask him for someone, and tell him not to think that Grand Master Cai can protect him."

The doctor's face was strange, and nodded, "Then let's go and go for a while. Can you improve your salary?"

Chen Ao thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is OK, just do it. In fact, the most important thing is to make a flower head for the navy. I'll find a way to do this."

The navy actually wants to play with flowers? Only Chen Ao can say this sentence.

The doctor nodded and bowed, "Your Majesty, there is another thing. This year, the third phase of the Martial Preparation School recruitment has been recruited, and there are many more applicants than in previous years. There are more than 100,000 people, which is even more unprecedented than the imperial examination. Should I expand the recruitment? The navy lieutenant is still complaining that there are too few lieutenants there. If the navy is built in the future, there will definitely be insufficient personnel."

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "The navy lieutenant will expand one thousand five hundred people. There is no need to add the rest. I heard that the Xijing Prefecture Office in Xijing has also built a Chongwu Academy. The remaining ones can be picked and sent there."

The doctor smiled and said that Chen Ao's martial arts school was built, and all the yamen also took their minds and had some imitations. For example, there is a Quanzhou Naval School in Quanzhou, a Chongwu School in Xijing, and a Suzhou-Hangzhou School in the official business. It is not the official one. It is raised by many merchants and runs the Wuwei School.

These schools have official schools and private schools, and they all learn the structure of the martial arts school. Of course, they cannot be compared with the martial arts school in Bianjing. If the martial arts school is equivalent to the Imperial College, they are roughly private schools and official schools in various places. Most of them are of Confucianism and martial arts. The courts in Xijing and Quanzhou may have allowed them to go to various army in the future. Only the Wuwei Academy is the most interesting. This school is organized by merchants, but they are not asked to join the army to eat food, but learn their skills as guards. Those who enter are children from poor families, and they can also join the army after they come out, but most of them are still hired by merchants.

This trend is inseparable from the reputation of the lieutenant of the Martial Arts School. In the past, everyone only studied literature because they had no future in learning martial arts and were also despised. Now, the lieutenant is more respectful than the scholars when they go out. I don’t know how many scholars want to enter this school, but they don’t want it. In this way, once the impression is overturned, some people are willing to study.
