my life simulator

After more than half a month, Lu Li returned to Songjiang Mansion with an army of [-] and [-] horses.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, all government offices are on holiday, and Lu Li didn't go to take over as the governor of Nanzhili, so he spent the new year at home.

Lu Li shocked the world in the first battle, and was granted the title of Marquis of Huating.After returning home, there was an endless stream of officials and local officials and gentry who came to visit.

Busy and lively, this year is over.

After the Lantern Festival, Lu Li had time to do serious business.

First of all, soldiers from Baoshan Guard and Kunshan Guard remained in the capital, and Lu Li still needed to replenish the soldiers of the two guards.

At the shipyard, in addition to the destroyer that is being built quickly, Lu Li also arranged a task for Zheng Yuan to prepare to build a transport ship.

The task of the workshop area is also very heavy. Lu Li plans to build an industrial area near Jinshan Port, fully implement steam power, expand the production scale, and increase the production capacity of various industrial products.

In terms of agricultural production, in addition to the spring farming in the guards in Songjiang Prefecture, Lu Li is also planning to carry out a comprehensive reform of the guards in the southern Zhili prefectures, and fully implement it according to the model of Jinshan Guard.

Governor of Nanzhili, this official position is already a first-rank official.

Lu Li, the "commander-in-chief of the military region", has under his command Yingtian Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Taiping Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion. , Huizhou, Xuzhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou, Guangde and other fourteen state capitals.

Each state capital has three guards under its jurisdiction, a total of 42 guards, with a total of 21 soldiers and horses.

With 21 soldiers in hand, this is the governor sitting on one side.

This kind of setting is a normal phenomenon in Ming Dynasty. For example, Governor Xuan Da, Governor Liaodong, and Hu Zongxian, the anti-Japanese governor, are all "marshals" with hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands!

It's just... the so-called hundreds of thousands of troops, in today's Ming Dynasty, or even in the future Ming Dynasty, these scary numbers of troops are fictitious, half or even a third of the real soldiers are amazing.

Why?Because I can't afford it!

The national treasury is empty, and the court cannot provide sufficient food and payment.Moreover, after layers of deducted food and salaries were allocated to the army, if one-tenth of it was considered clean, the officials were as clean as water.

However, Lu Li didn't care about these rations.

The output of the workshop is getting higher and higher, and the high-yield crops planted by the guard can also ensure a good agricultural harvest, so there is no need to worry about lack of money and food.

However, after taking over the governor of Nanzhili, the 42 guards in the [-] state capitals under his command fully implemented the spring farming of new crops and completed the reconstruction of the guards. The task is still very huge.

There is also a huge gap in the abolition of guards, re-recruitment, and the allocation of various military supplies.

The simplest point is that Lu Li still can't afford 21 rifles!

Of course, the prospect is also very gratifying.

Once Lu Li completes the formation of a new army of 21 people, the Ming Dynasty will be invincible, and this force will be enough to sweep the world.

In one year, up to two years, this force can take shape.

At that time... the land illuminated by the sun and the moon will all be the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 400 Jinhae Destroyer

After taking over as Governor of Southern Zhili, Lu Li's affairs became more complicated.

There are 42 state capitals and [-] guards under his command. Together with soldiers and family members, millions of people are living under Lu Li's command. There are too many things to deal with.

Now the new year is just over, but... the guards under his command are no different from the original Jinshan Guard. Not long after the new year, many soldiers' homes are about to run out of food.

Because Lu Li's reformation of the guards in Songjiang Mansion allowed the soldiers and families of Jinshan Guard, Kunshan Guard, and Baoshan Guard to live a better life, so the guards in other prefectures all looked at Lu Li eagerly, with a kind of feeling. The feeling of waiting to be fed.

It is definitely not acceptable to directly distribute money and food.

They must be allowed to work and create value, otherwise... millions of people, who the hell can afford it!

Lu Li could only adjust the plan, revise the original planning plan of Jinshan Industrial Zone, assign most of the light industry projects to various health offices, and Jinshan Industrial Zone only focuses on military and heavy industry projects.

Therefore, Lu Li set up brick kilns, cement kilns, glass kilns, porcelain kilns, textile factories, leather factories, soap factories, wineries, and other light industrial factories in various guards in Nanzhili.

Brick kiln and cement kiln are necessary for every sanitary station.This is to solve the problem of building materials for the base of the guard, and the extra bricks and cement can also be sold.

Ever since Lu Li created cement, this convenient and strong building material has been favored by countless people.However, due to insufficient production, the supply of cement is far from meeting market demand.

Now, Lu Li has fully deployed cement kilns in various guards in Southern Zhili, and the cement production is bound to soar.

Perhaps in the near future, there will be countless flat concrete roads and countless solid and exquisite brick-concrete structures everywhere in Daming.

From the perspective of market demand, even if Lu Li's cement production increased ten thousand times, he might not be able to sell it.

Apart from brick kilns and cement kilns, Lu Li did not set up workshops across the board. Instead, he adjusted measures to local conditions and set up various corresponding workshops according to local resources and minerals.

After these workshops were completed and put into operation one after another, Lu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had to worry about feeding more than 100 million people.

Next, Lu Li rolled out the renovation of the guard's garrison infrastructure, rebuilt the guard city, rebuilt the barracks, and rebuilt the guard's soldiers' housing.

The scale of this project is huge, but the actual consumption is not too large.Bricks and cement are produced by the workshops of the guards, and the construction workers are the soldiers and their families of the guards.

Lu Li didn't even need to pay salary, as long as he was given food, the soldiers and family members of the guards were happy and grateful.

If it is placed in future generations, this is the most shameless black-hearted capitalist in the world.However... In this era, Lu Li is a living Bodhisattva with great compassion.

As a result, the state capitals of Nanzhili after the year are full of large-scale construction and production in full swing.

There are 42 guards with a population of more than 100 million. Under Lu Li's command, the infrastructure construction is carried out, and everyone is exhausted and happy.

Where can you find a Marquis who can feed the soldiers and their families and build you a big house?

This large-scale construction of various health centers in southern Zhili continued until March.

After a full three months, the workshops, acropolis, barracks and residences of the various guards in Nanzhili were all successfully completed.

The guards and family members who moved into the new house were all grateful to Lu Li.

Then... people who have just finished their infrastructure construction, before they have time to take a breath, it's time for spring plowing and production again.

Labor in this day and age is really worthless.

Except for the "working class" who worked in the workshop, Lu Li paid their wages, the other laborers did not need to pay wages, they only needed to be fed, and they were "lords and princes".

After a year of spring plowing last year, agricultural experts also brought out a large group of "apprentices".

Although they don't understand the theoretical knowledge at all, these "apprentices" have no problems at all in terms of actual operation.

Therefore, Lu Li distributed agricultural experts and their apprentices to the 42 guards in Southern Zhili to guide the spring plowing in various places.

As for the recruitment of soldiers for military training, we have to wait until the spring plowing production is fully completed.

After March, agricultural experts were in charge of spring plowing, and Lu Li didn't pay too much attention to it.

Because... the first batch of three Zhenhai-class destroyers has been officially completed.

On this day, Lu Li came to the shipyard in Jinshan Port to participate in the launching ceremony of the Zhenhai-class destroyer.

Three Zhenhai-class destroyers with a displacement of [-] tons docked neatly at the Jinshan Port wharf.

Two thousand naval officers and soldiers in dark blue uniforms lined up neatly on the shore.

The reason why the dark blue military uniform was used instead of the white military uniform of the later generations is that the key is... the people of the Ming Dynasty refused to wear white military uniforms, which is unlucky!

"report!"

A navy general came out and saluted Lu Li, "The Songjiang navy has finished its formation, please give instructions!"

"Board!"

Lu Li ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

Immediately, two thousand naval officers and soldiers were divided into three teams, and each boarded three destroyers.

It was for the purpose of training the navy that so many people were sent aboard.In fact, the quorum of each destroyer is only more than 100 people.

After a while, the boiler was ignited, the steam engine started to run, and black smoke came out of the chimney.

"Dudu..."

The whistle sounded, and three Zhenhai-class destroyers slowly sailed out of the port.

"Master Hou, the three destroyers have been built successfully, and the craftsmen are also very skilled. After using the new machinery and equipment, the construction speed of the next batch of warships should be even faster."

Zheng Yuan introduced to Lu Li beside him.

"Yeah! Good job!"

Lu Li nodded towards Zheng Yuan, "Continue to expand the scale. Within two years, I will have a fleet of hundreds of destroyers."

"Yes!"

Zheng Yuan quickly took the order, with a trill of excitement in her voice.

The era of great Ming sailing far away is coming.The Zheng family has been waiting for this day for hundreds of years!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

On the distant sea, three destroyers lined up fired a salvo with broadside guns.

Each battleship had twelve cannons on one side, a total of 36 cannons, and fired a salvo at the same time.

36 rounds of flower bombs hit a target ship 2000 meters away. The flames billowed, and the water column shot straight into the sky. The violent explosion shattered the target ship.

After a lapse of a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty took its first step towards the sea, playing the magnificent movement of "The Return of the King" with roaring naval guns.

……

After the launching ceremony of the destroyer was over, Lu Li returned to Lujiazhuang.

When he returned to the gate of Lujiazhuang, Lu Li saw two men dressed as military officers waiting at the gate of Lujiazhuang.

Where did this general come from?

Sitting on the horseback, Lu Li looked up at the two generals at the door.

One is a young military officer in his thirties, with a bee waist and a monkey back, a tall and straight figure, and looks heroic.

The other one was older, he looked about forty years old, his beard and hair were a little gray, and his face was dark and old.

These two generals... Lu Li didn't recognize them, obviously they were not his generals.

He is not a general under my command, but he found my door. Could it be that he came through the back door and wanted to be transferred to my command?

At this time, the two generals at the door saw Lu Li and his party coming, so they hurriedly greeted him and saluted Lu Li.

"The last general, Qi Jiguang, pay homage to Lord Hou!"

"The last general, Yu Dayou, pay homage to Lord Hou!"

The two generals stepped forward, gave Lu Li a half-kneeling military salute, and reported their origins.

It turned out to be you?

Lu Li hurriedly got off his horse and stretched out his hand to help them up, "So it's General Qi and General Yu, please get up quickly."

For these two famous generals who have gone down in history, Lu Li naturally has respect.It is the most basic courtesy to get off the horse and reach out to help him up.

However... In the eyes of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, this is a rare courtesy.

There is no harm without comparison.

In front of Hu Zongxian, the anti-Japanese governor, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were scumbags with no status at all, and Hu Zongxian didn't even look at them.

As Marquis of Huating, General of Hussars, Governor of Nanzhili, Marshal Lu, who defeated [-] Tatar cavalry in World War I, was so respectful and virtuous as a corporal.This made Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou secretly moved.

"Two generals, please come inside!"

Lu Li reached out his hand to signal, and personally led Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou into the hall, and took them to the hall to sit down.

In front of Lu Li, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou seemed very reserved, sitting on the chairs only a short distance apart, and they dared not sit down completely.

"The two generals don't need to be restrained. We are all members of the military, and we don't follow the rules of civil servants."

Lu Li greeted them with a smile all over his face, ordered someone to bring some refreshments, and then started talking to the two of them.

"You two generals, I don't know what you can do to come to the humble house today?"

Lu Li asked Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.

"Reporting to Lord Hou, the two of the last generals came here this time because they wanted to ask Lord Hou about the art of war."

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou hurriedly got up, bowed to Lu Li, "I also ask the Lord Hou to give me some advice!"

"art of war?"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "You may not believe me, but I don't know the art of war at all, and I don't have any magic tricks. When I fight, I rely on absolute strength to push and crush."
