Chapter Three Hundred and Nine Soldiers
Not only did Lu Daming bring back the weapons of the entire Guazhou Camp, he also captured sixteen bandits who took advantage of the situation and seized two large baskets of gold, silver and fine soft materials, which made Han Xiufeng very happy and embarrassed.
Gold, silver and treasures are good things, but the two baskets of gold, silver and soft materials in front of you are all seized. The rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished. If you don’t reward or just give a little bit of reward, those young and strong will definitely have ideas. If you really reward these gold, silver and soft materials, those
When young and strong people have money, they obviously will not dare to fight as hard as before.
Han Xiufeng never thought about facing such a thing. He was thinking about what to do. Pan Er said carefully: "Fourth brother, I am not greedy for life and death. I think the other side of the koo siege cannot be managed without a personal management.
Ambassador Han is not convenient for him to come forward in these matters."
"Oh, where do you want to go? I'm worried about these ill-gotten gains."
"This money is easy to deal with."
"Do you have an idea?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.
Pan Er looked back at two baskets of gold, silver and soft soft gold, and smiled and said, "Fourth brother, it looks like there are a lot of two large frames. In fact, there are a bunch of gold and silver jewelry. How can you guess the price of this is not to mention the poor guys outside, just
Mr. Wang didn’t know much about it. What’s more, the silver depends on the quality, and more than half of it is made of money, and it’s not much to be sold into enough silver.”
"There are so many gold bars, not much of them worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver," Han Xiufeng pondered.
"Seven or eight thousand taels sound like a lot, but there are also many people. Including Lu Daming, there are 87 people in total." Pan Er smiled and continued: "We have never set rules, so we can take this opportunity
Make the rules up. No matter how much money you seize in the future, you will have to take out 40% of it for public use."
"Use it as a doctor, grab medicine to heal the wounds, and use it as a pension for death?"
"Absolutely, as long as you want them to hand over, there are reasons."
"Submitting 40% is too much, 30% is it."
"Thirty percent is OK." Pan Ergang Han Xiufeng made a cup of tea, sat down and said, "The remaining 70% cannot be divided equally. I heard that the rules of the Green Camp are for the camp officials to take half of it, and then the Qianzong, the general manager,
There are not many soldiers in the hands of the army.”
Han Xiufeng shook his head: "We are different from the Green Camp. If we really lead troops like the Green Camp, why are we going to fight?"
"Then the officials will get less points."
"Then say."
"Second brother, that's what I think. Don't they want to settle down and become a naturalized person? But no matter where you buy land, you have to spend money. You have to spend money on settling down and become a naturalized person! We don't need to give them money, just give them money.
A land deed, help them fill in a household registration card.”
Han Xiufeng reacted and couldn't help but smile: "It's not enough to have a household registration card and land. You have to build a house and buy a farmer. In short, it's definitely not enough to build a house without a 50 or 60 taels of land."
"Besides, they are not all bachelors. Some have relatives. Even if there are no relatives, there are a group of fellow villagers who used to carry salt on Taiba to help them, and they all started from scratch, so they were not enough to spend money."
"This is a solution. Although the corner slanting field is not as large as Fu'an, there are tens of thousands of acres of newly silted land. Besides, it was not given to them for free, Ambassador South Korea will definitely agree."
"Then I'll count how much money these two baskets are worth."
"Let's count it when it's dawn, count it in front of them." Han Xiufeng thought for a while, and then said: "Salt-alkali land cannot be compared with fertile land. One acre is counted as three taels. If you settle down and become a naturalized person, you can count as three taels. Wang
Didn’t Qianli collect a few horses from Caobiao’s Green Camp soldiers? They can also sell them to them for land reclamation. We can’t use them anyway.”
"It's okay to sell it to them. Although it's better to use cattle than to plow the land with horses, it's not that easy to buy cattle."
"That's it." Han Xiufeng turned around and pointed to the wooden box on the table: "Tell them clearly that Zhenjiang has been occupied by the thieves, and the silver houses were probably all copied by the thieves. These silver bills are now in stock.
It's not worth it, but we will collect it first. If we can, we will take it out and exchange it in the future. If we really can't exchange it, we can't do it."
"Okay, I'll tell them when the day is dawn."
"Then it's what you just said. I don't know when this battle will last. It's impossible to kill people when the war is going to happen. We can't afford to support too many soldiers now, but it's impossible not to recruit soldiers in the future, so the horn side is going to be there.
Manage well.”
"Fourth brother, do you agree to my slanting?"
"I'm thinking about how to deal with the bandits in front of me these days, but I didn't think so far. You are a bystander, and I thought about it, how could I not let you go?" Han Xiufeng touched the corner of his mouth and pondered: "I just want to bring thousands of them all at once.
If the number people go, they eat and drink. Even if they are willing to cultivate land, who will plant their land? Whether we or Ambassador Han, it is impossible for them to give them land in vain, otherwise these brothers in the camp will
Have an idea.”
"I really never thought about this." Pan Er realized that a bowl of water should be flat, and that no one who did not pay would be rewarded, otherwise who would be willing to fight the thief.
"But this is not difficult to deal with." Han Xiufeng pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Are you going to pay the reward when the sky is dawn? You won't give too much money, you will only give it to them. But they can't waste it if they have land.
Then, their relatives and friends can help cultivate first and plant them first. They will definitely be willing to open up the land so hard and tiring, so they can place three or four hundred."
"What about the rest?" Pan Er asked.
"The rest can be planted with the land of President Gu, Wang Qianli and Yu Qinghuai. Ambassador Han and I cannot buy land on duty, so President Gu and Wang Qianli and others can. I will write a letter to Ambassador Han, asking Ambassador Han to think
Find a way to sell more newly silted land for the gentry in Hai'an, and let the coolies who do nothing in Taiba be cultivated. After planting for two or three years, it will be more than three or two acres. After planting for five or six years, it will become a good field.
It can even be sold for more than ten or twenty taels per acre, so they will definitely be willing to do it."
"First let those people have some food to eat. Seeing that Lu Daming and others have made a fortune, have their own land, their own houses, and even cattle and horses, they will definitely rush to come when we recruit young and strong people!"
"That's what I mean, don't you think so?" Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "Since you have to make a long-term plan, you might as well borrow people from panic. The business on the market is not easy to do. Take the time to buy some from Yangzhou.
The grain, rake, and shovel are transported to the corners. Your house runs a pawn shop, so how do you manage it is better than me."
"Fourth brother, I'm really an expert in doing this, so I can rent it to them first. However, I don't want to make money so quickly if I want to get back. Salt-alkali land is not a fertile land. It would be nice if they could open their mouths in the first year. At least two or three have to wait for at least two or three times.
In 2019, we can only make money when there is a harvest in the place.”
"It's enough to get the money back. Put it aside whether you make money or not. After all, we are supporting people and the source of soldiers. Besides, we don't have to pay for this capital. I'll write a letter to Dean Gu later, asking Dean Gu to help arrange this
