After Zhou Huaian's routine inscriptions on the riverside (to leave after loading), Dantu's post-war sorting and rectification continued.
Danyang County of Runzhou is one of the most promising big states in the south of the Yangtze River in this era. Rich in past dynasties: silk cloth, water pattern, square pattern, fish mouth, embroidered leaf, pattern and other silk, hemp cloth, bamboo roots, yellow millet, Funiushan bronze, sturgeon, basil and other local tribute and customs. The number of private households on the books of the government is one hundred and twenty-three, and the number is six hundred and sixty-two thousand and seven hundred. Among them, most of the wealthy family officials and officials gathered in this Dantu city, plus the children of slaves and other hidden populations, the actual number is afraid not to double.
Therefore, only after the Dantu was laid down, did I know how rich the gains were. Zhou Bao, the deputy envoy of Jianghuai Zuyong and the Southeastern Transit Institute, used the local wealth and tribute to intercept the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River on the pretext of preparing for invaders. Therefore, in various warehouses, all kinds of goods, materials, and grain piles are like mountains and countless.
Just the rough statistics of the financials will immediately offset all the expenditures and extravagant expenditures since the dispatch of the troops; it can also result in the expected military expenditures sufficient to support several battles. In addition, in the mansion of Jiedushi Zhou Bao and several other museums and gardens under his name, there were more than hundreds of thousands of stolen copies. This is not to mention the follow-up confiscation and liquidation of those wealthy and wealthy family eunuchs in the city hedgehog.
Then, here is the starting point of the Jiangdong water transportation and the hub of the southern end of the Grand Canal. Therefore, there are more than 300,000 shi of rice, chestnut and wheat in the building complexes scattered in more than a dozen areas of the inner city and outside the main warehouses, transfer warehouses, military supply warehouses, Changping warehouses, and righteous warehouses. It is enough for the soldiers and civilians of Hecheng to open their belly and eat for more than half a year.
In the inner city and the Yacheng arsenal, there are also old and new swords and swords cards that can be equipped with tens of thousands of people; among them, the bows, crossbows, arrows and corresponding accessories produced in Xuanrun are more than doubled. It's just that the proportion of armor is much smaller. There are only more than 3,000 full iron armors, more than 5,000 leather-inlaid armors, and hundreds of more refined bright light and two armors. Other military resources such as clothing, quilts, tents and blankets are countless.
Moreover, a considerable part of the accumulated deposits had been scattered by Zhou Bao in the name of preparing for theft and supplying the army. If it hadn't been for the Taiping Army to take the initiative to draw out the vigorous force of the defenders to annihilate the spot, relying on the traditional siege and trench-filling tactics of the original rebel army, it might not have been able to be defeated if they were all starved to death or dispersed.
Moreover, since the mid-Tang Dynasty, this place was also the place where the Lishao of the Zhenhai Jiedu Shi and the Jiangdong transshipment ambassadors were located. The configuration of various yamen is quite complete than the same small imperial court. Therefore, the books of historical records left here are quite complete and complete; just the corresponding staff and hundreds of people are engaged in it, which is also a very precious wealth.
Then, there are all kinds of workshops and a large number of craftsmen in the city. Among them, the guilds related to weaving, printing and dyeing are the most popular; there are even several bookshops that are famous for engraving and printing. The government-run iron mills and bronze ware shops, and the armory crossbow workshops that provide equipment for the Zhenhai camp, also contain a large number of materials and finished products, as well as skilled craftsmen, apprentices and servants.
The large and small ships obtained by the ferry terminal and the official army’s water village outside the city have allowed the Taiping Army’s surface transportation and combat organization to be expanded several times on the book (recruiting and supplementing enough manpower to be skilled in operation and form combat effectiveness. It takes time).
Of course, after getting such a large sum of money; it can’t be like the traditional rebel army to spread out in one rush, the more the better, the more the more the better, the indulgent carnival of eating and drinking for ten and a half days, by the way, from top to bottom. It's fine if the personal pockets of the chiefs and chiefs are full. They must be classified into the Taiping Sacred Treasury system according to the system, and then listed in all aspects of specific uses according to the needs of the priority.
For example, the amount of effort used in the army to reward merits and rewards in various aspects; purchase and collect civilian materials and paid recruitment of labor, relief local poverty and widows and further supplement the local source of troops; as well as the follow-up reorganization of the reorganization of other parts of the rebel army and the transformation of prisoners. The repair of local city defenses and public facilities; the repair and supplementation of new and old ships and armors, and so on.
In the end, most of them will be shipped back to Jiangling, as a backfeed for the continuous delivery of support and logistical support from the rear; the Taiping Army will occupy 70% to 80% of the population engaged in collective agricultural production under the control to ensure and support the rest. The proportion of the population used has almost reached a limit.
Therefore, grain can be stored and digested internally along the way from Jiangling to Lingxi, craftsmen and laborers can be placed on the spot in Jingnan, and property must continue to be transferred south to Guangzhou, which is converted into other Taiping army needs. Resources and output.
It is estimated that only half of the armors, weapons, and basic reserves including several important strongholds will be left in the end, enough for about 30,000 horses (including the coordinated rebels) for several months. .
In this turbulent process, the Kongmu Officer of Zhenhai Camp, who was once an emissary for the army and army, was also guarded and followed by several military officers and walked through the streets that seemed to have become much depressed on foot.
Although the streets of the bluestone have been cleaned up, and even covered with yellow sand that is anti-skid, but they are located on both sides of the road in the market Wangyao. The people behind the Zhumenjiadi in Lin Litsby and the high wall Uwa have already landed. Many places have been vacated one after another;
And the rest of the people’s homes are closed and there is a gloomy cloud, and there are also whimpers and wailings; as the existence of the Taiping Army’s invention of the blacklist, they are obviously worried about something coming, but they are still on the blacklist. An inevitable fate; it is said that the best result is that the whole family is moved to Jingnan, Hunan, and even to Lingnan and Annan to start a foreign life.
However, Li Shicheng immediately laughed at himself in his heart. Isn't he one of the five types of members on this blacklist, and one of the old officials who need to be liquidated and rectified? The reason why he has not yet suffered such treatment and results is mainly because of some of his actions and performances in the past few days.
Not only did he personally take someone to guard and lock up the city after the city was broken, the cabinet storehouse that stored the directory, books, books, and records of the military planes; he also drove away several waves of insurgents who tried to set fires or rushed to grab things. It also took the initiative to provide assistance and assistance to the Taiping Army soldiers who took over the facilities and key points of the government office in a certain sense.
Therefore, there is such a proactive early bird as a role model and model; there are also some lucky speculators who stand up and cooperate; more or less let the Taiping Army's strong military support and deterrence in the city Office takeover and inventory operations, in a sense, achieved a multiplier effect with half the effort;
Therefore, this time he also finally got an opportunity through his own efforts to meet the Taiping army master to make petitions and explanations to determine their destiny and direction of the people of the old system.
(Is it deprived of possessions and sent to the south for labor reform; or amnesty moved to the large workshop to compile books and memoirs; or after screening and reforming, it is enriched to the corresponding teaching position to play the remaining heat; It even gives a certain retention period to observe the possibility of subsequent effects.)
However, afterwards, on a temporary hot construction site at the wharf outside the city; he saw the Taiping Army master who was not heavily guarded, but looked rather quiet and unpredictable.
Just the clear gaze that the other party turned around gave him the illusion of being penetrated into the bones, and many well-written drafts and calculations were lost like a mist scattered by the morning light.
"Go ahead, what do you want..."
Zhou Huaian asked straightforwardly without further ado.
"Under, under, I want to ask your army for a head..."
Li Shicheng hesitated, once again mustered the courage to speak.
"Whose head do you want..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help being a little surprised.
"The son of Yang Maoshi, the governor of Runzhou, the head of Yang Ping'an in Xiaoya..."
Li Shicheng hated him so hard not to conceal it.
"Can you explain why..."
Zhou Huaian seemed to be a little interested.
"It's an insult to the family and the hatred of the family. With my slight strength, I am afraid that it will be hopeless. However, the direction of your army has given me a chance.. Then I am embarrassed and embarrassed. Seeking for the present..."
Li Shicheng gritted his teeth slightly.
"Then it depends on you, what kind of value and conditions can you come up with... Don’t tell me about the previous contribution, even if you don’t come forward, naturally there will be opportunities for others; it’s just for you Earn such a chance to show up."
Zhou Huaian is the way to describe Wubo.
"I have served the Bohai county king, and I have also experienced Zhou Linggong's private activities. I dare not say everything about the relationship between the big and small in the festival, but I can get most of them... under the mansion, etc. It is also omniscient; even most of the backgrounds in the city can help one or two..."
Li Shicheng continued to gritted his teeth and arrived decisively.
"It's just after the fact that I naturally don't want to be able to survive, I just want to give my family a way to survive..."
"I understand,"
Zhou Huaian said disapprovingly.
"If you show enough value, don't say it is in a small office, even if it is Yang Maoshi's head, I can give it to you... This servant wanted to escape by disguising, but it was discovered by my subordinates at the gate of the city. Up..."
"But driven by the Lord..."
Li Shicheng was a little surprised and overtook him, and he immediately bowed down like a ruin.
After asking and explaining some things one after another, Li Shicheng was sent away. Zhou Huaian's evaluation of him also changed from a little bit of conscience and bottom line, but confined to the traditional bureaucracy of his own environment and structure; a little elevated to the role of a good father and a good husband who cares about his family and takes care of his family.
At least from the perspective of employing people, this also means more controllability and weaknesses to be mastered. After dealing with this minor episode, Zhou Huaian once again looked at the horizon on the distant river.
Because with the smooth flow of land and water between Dantu and Jiangning, today is the day when Yao Niang came from Jiangning, Zhou Huaian couldn't help being filled with some kind of longing and throbbing in his heart. (End of this chapter)
