Chapter 252: Counting Gong (Repair)
Without the Battle of Stone Bridge, the King of Qi would not have noticed him. Without the support of King Qi and Liu Xiashang, and without the training of the Nan'an, there would be no battle of the river beaches, and without the battle of the river beaches, it would be difficult to obtain a stable foundation and development. Then there was the trip to the capital, and further to Qizhou. Without these previous efforts, there would be no way to win Chen Yutai's head, and there would be no way to obtain the wealth he had accumulated over ten years.
A pirate leader with more than 2,000 people once captured the city of Zhangzhou. Of course, he was just a pawn who started the battle. The wealth he gained was beyond imagination.
Over the years, Chen Yutai's wealth has been quite limited, and most of the pirates don't have much private possession. This is the rule among pirates. Those who are not convinced can stand up. Many of Chen Yutai's murders over the years are just subordinates who want to share money. The fate is to be stood on wooden stakes. Chen Yutai personally used a sharp knife to open the belly of these people and told them to calm down.
As a result, all the wealth that had accumulated for more than ten years fell into Xu Zixian's hands, and Chen Yutai's head had been cut down. If someone really knew about it, what would this guy think?
Xu Zixian didn't know, he only knew that he was very excited, quite excited.
This gold finger is really good. There is a fleet of millions of guan outside. Although it is not large in scale, it is still a pretty good start. There are hundreds of thousands of goods and miscellaneous items, plus the gold, silver and copper coins placed by the Pirates and Chen Yutai outside, which also cost 400,000,000,000,000, but the real highlight is the cash-storing cellar.
The Great Wei has not much gold reserves, and the gold-silver ratio is one to twelve, and at most it can reach one to sixteen.
Xu Zixian believed that this was a result of years of foreign trade, and both the people of Tianfang and the people of Taixi liked to exchange copper or silver for gold.
The Great Wei did not use the gold standard, but the money standard. Fortunately, it was not the worst silver standard.
The money standard of the Great Wei is still slightly insufficient compared to the gold standard, but there is no doubt that it has a lot of copper ore and a very developed mining industry. At least the money shortage of Da Wei has not yet broken out, and the amount of copper coins is quite sufficient. Under this premise, the money standard can stabilize the country's currency value and does not rely entirely on overseas inputs and will not be affected by the rise and fall of international trade. This is the most important thing.
Thirty thousand taels of gold are worth nearly 400,000 taels of silver, plus eleven thousand silver, gold and silver are worth more than one million guan, plus six hundred thousand guan of money, and gold and silver coins placed on the surface, worth more than two million guan.
If you count goods, debris and antiques, you will get nearly three million taxes.
If you count the fleet worth more than one and a half million jin and the manpower you gained, this time the income is calculated as five million jin, which is not an exaggeration.
Li Yi, Kong He, Fu Qian, Chen Zuocai, Fang Shaoqun, Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Zhang Huchen and others were all ordered to come, and everyone was shocked by the treasure trove in front of them.
Liu Yi smiled and said, "Chen Yutai has been in trouble for many years, but he has worked hard and made great contributions to our Nan'an League Training. To be honest, our group of people together have not made much contributions from the Chen brothers..."
Although it was still an inappropriate joke, no one among the people stopped Liu Yi this time, and even Fang Zheng's old-fashioned Kong He did not make any noise.
This is true. From the Battle of Stone Bridge to the present, the Chen brothers have been giving money, food and credit, and now they have given the wealth they have accumulated for more than ten years. In addition, they have made great contributions. They have really devoted themselves to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion and died after death.
Xu Zixian shook his head and said to Liu Yi: "I'm too mean, I want to punish me."
Liu Yi said solemnly: "Please tell me."
"The gold, silver and copper coins here should not be seen by the martial arts soldiers. The Fu No. 1 ship from the Water Camp will arrive tonight, and you will leave a hundred people to transport all the gold, silver and copper coins to the Dongfan. The antiques, utensils and jewelry will be taken care of, and the Fu No. 2 will be sent to Nan'an in two days."
"Yes, don't worry, lord." Liu Yi said: "We must do the work properly."
"Yeah." Xu Zi nodded first and said, "When I arrived at the Dongfan side, I would say hello to Chen Duzhong. There are already many people there. I will go to the Dongfan in a while. You will stay there during this period, bringing people from all over the city to guard these property."
The Dongfan side is really in a mess. The first 3,000 people have arrived in the Dongfan. Now Chen Dujing and his son have arrived on the island, and Chen Duguang, Chen Duzhong and others are also on the island.
According to Xu Zixian's plan, the first thing was to reclaim cotton fields. The earlier immigrants could only work harder and sleep in the shack to spend this difficult period.
Even sleeping in the open air is hard to sleep. The soldiers and horses of various villages in Chen Duzhong will be opened on the periphery, and at the same time, they will send troops to guard the outer periphery of the selected ranch to prevent the savages from coming down to cause trouble.
A small number of craftsmen and small workers will set up important building foundations such as marquis mansions, barracks, warehouses and other constructions according to the plan during this period, and speed up construction.
In addition, brick and tile kiln factories, coal factories, logging yards, wharfs, ports, storage areas, and trade areas are also very important facilities, all of which are the most priority, and the priority even exceeds the Houfu Courtyard and the military camp, and are among the first batch of production and operation facilities to be built.
Next comes the Houfu Villa, the military camp, the family area, the schoolyard, the ranch area, and the warehouse area.
Only in the end can we build houses for ordinary people.
According to the information summary obtained by Xu Zixian, there are now 11,000 people, more than 1,000 households, and more than 3,000 people on the Dongfan Island. There are nine camps of different sizes on the island, with a large garrison of thousands of people, and the smallest garrison of only one post.
The people have gathered together for many years, mainly in a radius of more than twenty miles downstream of Lengshui River.
Most people live in farming, mainly rice, beans, and hemp.
In this era, Fujian also grew a lot of hemp. Later generations misunderstood the production and sales of cotton cloth, thinking that this thing is a necessity for daily life, so everyone has it.
In fact, many poor families don’t have a cotton robe. Although silk and silk are expensive materials for rich people, for poor people, even a cotton robe is a rare and expensive item.
More people wear linen robes, twist linen into thread, and then weave clothes. No matter how thick the woven is, it is only suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter. In winter, no matter how thick it is, it will make people feel cold. But for many people, having linen robes is always much better than being naked.
A small number of people make a living by fishing or hunting, while others also hunt gold along the streams, and they don’t get much.
The upper reaches are a place with a lot of sand gold, which is controlled by the indigenous people of the mountain. After a while, the indigenous people will take sand gold to trade and exchange for some daily necessities, such as cloth, salt, ironware, etc.
The entire Dongfan formed more than twenty natural villages, without large clans, the ancestral halls were very small and not many.
The most are Mazu Temple and Tudi Gong Temple. Each village has a small Tudi Gong Temple at its entrance, and the incense is endless all seasons.
The village is mainly thatched huts, which are roofs made of grass, walls made of rammed earth and straw, and wooden beams and columns. The houses are quite simple.
There are only a few buildings in the government. Chen Duzhong joked that he lived in a bad place than the gatehouse of Changwen Hou Mansion. This is not a joke, but it is a fact.
This is a desperate land, with not many troops garrisons and not many things. Every day, I see only the blue sea, boundless, and what I have seen for a long time is a profound sense of loneliness and powerlessness.
"I can't do it." Liu Yi nodded and agreed, with a serious expression. This was an important job. Qin Dongyang was not suitable, so Liu Yi could only go. Of course, he knew what the Dongfan was like now, a large area of thatched huts and several defensive military camps, and a simple dock for boat parking.
These items can only be hidden in a small military camp. Xu Zixian should have sent a letter, and Chen Duzhong should naturally not refuse such a small request.
"At least two ships are packed." Fu Qian's face was filled with anxiety.
"The soldiers participating in the war collectively calculated the first-class merits." Xu Zixian said: "Those who are in the first place, those who hold the flag, those who behead, and those who capture the enemy leader, calculate the merits separately. Don't betray the soldiers, the soldiers who have fallen into battle, and the pensions of the seriously injured soldiers will be started immediately. These matters will be left to Li Changshi and Kong Zhanjun."
Everyone nodded, and it was conceivable that there would be a busy time.
Qin Dongyanghui brought most of the martial soldiers back to Nan'an, preparing to go to the Dongfan with the ship. A large number of new soldiers were transferred to Qizhou one after another, which should be mainly water camp soldiers.
The old soldiers in Nan'an will be dismantled one after another to enrich Qizhou, Dongfan and other places. The new soldiers and old soldiers will be mixed together one after another. When the construction of the Dongfan reaches a certain stage, new soldiers will be recruited in Nan'an.
Xu Zixian's goal is to expand the number of military soldiers to 9,000 to 10,000 within this year.
In terms of merit, it is divided into three levels: first-class collective to third-class. Theoretically, as long as you win a certain scale of victory, it is collectively meritorious, from third-class to second-class, and first-class is not necessarily the case.
This war eliminated the pirates who had occupied Qizhou for more than ten years, seized a large amount of supplies, eliminated Chen Yutai's troops, and killed Chen Yutai, a blood-debt pirate leader. From public opinion, to the emperor and the two prefectures, and all administrative agencies on Fujian Road will be excited about this.
At the same time, a large number of people who were harmed by theft in Qishan were able to avenge their great revenge, which was a very strong comfort to the hearts of the people.
Even for Xu Zixian himself, being able to repay his father's revenge and satisfy the shortcomings of the previous generation of Nan'an Hou was also a strong psychological satisfaction.
A first-class great achievement is worthy of its reputation.
For third-class great merit, each martial arts soldier can reward five stakes, and a salary of two and a half months. For second-class great merit, each martial arts trainer can reward ten stakes, and for first-class great merit, each martial arts trainer can reward thirty stakes.
In addition, you will first climb, trap the battle, seize the flag, behead, and be injured. All rewards and subsidies will be given to different levels of rewards and subsidies according to the level of great merit.
