With Wang Yilin's strong support, Wu Zheng and more than 300 subordinates quickly settled in the Lianghuwei.

The soldiers under his command entered the training.

Wang Yilin did not lie, after receiving Wu Zheng's promise.

Full military rations and ordnances were delivered on time.

However, in Wu Zheng's opinion, it was still deducted.

Of course, this is not the reason for Duke Xingguo, nor is it Wang Yilin's reason.

But the system is like this.

Soldiers have two kilograms of food a day, and the dishes are messed up, and each person costs two cents a day.

What can I buy for two cents?

About half a pound of eggs, a few pounds of vegetarian food, two pounds of vegetables, and three pieces of tofu.

This is not a sum, but a choice of one of four.

The two cents also include the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar used to cook.

The soldiers did not feel wronged, but Wu Zheng understood that such food could not be used to train strong soldiers.

The will to fight is one thing, and physical fitness is another.

There are already red cannons in this world, but the battle is still dominated by cold weapons.

Good physical fitness determines the intensity and sustainability of the battle.

Wu Zheng planned to change and to train a strong army, he had to start with food.

First, transport the seafood caught by the sea to the military camp, and sell it to the outside world.

Secondly, ensure that each person has half a pound of meat each meal.

Finally, eggs.

As a result, each person's daily food expenses increased to twenty cents (one tael of silver discount of four hundred cents).

This may not be difficult for ordinary people above average.

But it is very difficult to support more than 300 soldiers.

For more than 300 people, the daily dish costs twenty taels.

In addition, Wu Zheng promised to give each person two taels of salary per month.

Just these two things combined will cost 1,300 taels per month.

The key is that the people fishing by the sea still need subsidies. The people who farm in Wuzhuang still need to feed them, because they can only plant miscellaneous grains in September, and the harvest will take two or three months later.

Only the shops on Shining Street can achieve immediate results and can be self-sufficient.

The 5,500 stones of grain that Chen Bingshen's family and the 2,400 stones of grain that were squeezed from Huang Degong were sealed by Wu Zheng for another purpose.

At Ronglu Tower that day, the ten thousand stone grains that Huang Degong had accepted must not be able to be fulfilled.

Because Huang Degong had already fled before Wu Zheng returned to Shining Town.

Fortunately, the Jade Buddha, who has fallen into Wu Zheng's hands, is still there.

Wu Zheng handed the Jade Buddha to Shen Zhiyuan and asked him to sell it to his father Shen Bancheng.

Wu Zheng put pressure on Shen Zhiyuan. He threatened Shen Zhiyuan that if he didn't sell for one thousand taels, he would not count the general flag officials he had agreed to before.

Shen Zhiyuan sighed that he was careless in making friends and turned his elbow out. He had already cheated Wu Zheng for his father 5,000 taels. Fortunately, the Jade Buddha is indeed valuable, so he still carried the Jade Buddha home, because Shen Zhiyuan also knew Wu Zheng's current difficulties.

Spending money is like flowing water, these five words accurately describe Wu Zheng’s current situation.

Raising soldiers is the most expensive thing, and that is a bottomless pit.

But this incident brought about another variable.

The variables of people's hearts.

Wang Yilin is a man, it’s okay to lead troops.

Although I was a little greedy, I ate more than 300 people’s salary.

But there was no deduction for the soldiers who were already in the garrison.

Therefore, Wang Yilin's reputation is still good in the garrison.

But when Wu Zheng came, the food of more than 300 people under his command improved rapidly.

This attracted the jealousy of the soldiers in the former guards.

It is said that compared goods, people should lose money, and people should die.

When I eat every day, the strong meat fragrance permeates the sky above the ward.

Which soldier who has not recognized the smell of meat for a long time, will not swallow his saliva?

Many thick-skinned soldiers secretly went to Wu Zheng's military camp to get some food.

In real time, Wu Zheng pretended that he didn't see it.

But later, more and more people came to take advantage of it. Now Wu Zheng has no choice but to raise more than 300 more people?

So Wu Zhengren erected a fence outside the military camp and isolated the two sides.

Now, Wang Yilin's ears cannot be purified.

Many soldiers go to confess every day.

In desperation, Wang Yilin came to Wu Zheng.

"Brother Wu, aren't you raising hatred? Even if you have money at home, you can't squander like this, right? You have to raise this army with poverty. If you give them three points of color, you have to go to the house to remove the tiles. Please don't mess with the useless ones, just feed them."

Wu Zheng rejected Wang Yilin.

Wang Yilin was not angry either, but just sighed: "Okay, brother won't be here for long. The Lianghu mat station will be yours sooner or later. You can do whatever you want."

Wang Yilin's letting go really made Wu Zheng accumulate a lot of hatred in the garrison.

That's right, it's hatred.

People are often jealous of what others have in their hands.

If you can't get it yourself, it's best if others can't get it either.

This way I feel balanced.

....

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

It's been closed in recent years.

The small villages by the sea have begun to take shape, and the people are self-sufficient. They sell the fished sea goods to the garage for money, and their lives are not bad.

The people of Wuzhuang have harvested a crop of coarse grains, and they can still eat enough under the subsidies of Wu Zheng.

On the contrary, the more than a dozen shops on Shining Street, with less than a hundred people, generated good returns.

It seems that Zhou Simin is really in the form of a master of family management at a young age.

Shen Zhiyuan exchanged the Jade Buddha for his father one thousand taels of silver, solving Wu Zheng's urgent need.

Wuzhuang, the seaside and the ward form a triangle more than 100 miles away.

These three places are filled with a kind of happiness and contentment!

In Wu Zheng's view, this year should have passed smoothly.

But many times, facts are never varied by human will.

A small group of Taurus cavalry went south from west of Fuyang to bypass the Qiantang River.

Along the way, Zhuji, Shengxian County did not launch a single arrow, and the city gate was opened and surrendered.

It would be fine if Zhuji surrendered, but its jurisdiction was in the hands of Fang Guoan, but Sheng County’s Thousand Households were one of the three major guards under Zhu Yihai’s command. There were 700 or 800 people, and they surrendered as soon as they said they surrendered.

Two thousand Taurus cavalry entered the hinterland of Shaoxing Prefecture and divided the troops into two groups in Sheng County, one to the north to attack Shangyu and the other to the south to attack Xinchang.

The entire Shaoxing Prefecture's small court was shocked.

The officials were nervous and Siyou was extremely terrified.

Zhu Yihai is planning to run away again.

If it weren't for Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule, and Zhang Huangyan, who tried his best to dissuade him and threatened him with resignation, Zhu Yihai would probably not even want to stay for one more day.

Zhu Mai showed the difference between her as an imperial daughter at this time.

She appeared in the court and said only one sentence, "I don't force myself to stay, but I vowed to live and die with Shaoxing Prefecture."

The words are very ordinary, especially for these old fox guys who have been through the officialdom, this is nothing more than empty words.

Which king, the head coach, has never said such a thing?

But this was said from a jasper-year-old woman, which really made all beards ashamed.

Zhu Yihai thus developed a sense of heroism and decided to fight this battle.

But the imperial army was on the east bank of Qiantang River and on the line of Dinghai.
Chapter completed!
