289 I'm Sorry
In the afternoon, at Tingzhou Military Camp, Gouzi transported the copper coins and a large amount of gold ingots he had taken from the Hongtong Cabinet to the place. The sergeants who did not go could only receive 600 dollars each, which was not too small. As for those sergeants who went into battle, each had six pennies, and the rest was allocated to the officers.
Everyone is naturally happy to divide the money. Even Li Fei Shouyu, who has not played in the battle, has scored 50 points. However, he is really worried about this. He pulled Yan Qiqing aside and asked: "General Yan, this handsome man Distributing money in such an upright manner, you are not afraid of someone participating in a copy of him?"
Yan Xiqing laughed as soon as he heard it, and said, "Come with him! I'm afraid that no one will do this. To tell you the truth, the governor of the governor's office, the commander sent eight hundred guanshi, and Zhang Jianjun also took the commander 300 Guan, you say, now in Tingzhou, who would dare to say that he privately invited to buy soldiers. Zhang Jianjun doesn't care about it, haha, let alone others, just take the money safely."
Beginning today, the major restaurants and prostitutes in Tingzhou City have been gambling business to thrive. In addition, Li You wants to build the Wuxu Fort, ordered and customized utensils, and materials are also very large, and the Heizi group buys food and other items on a large scale, this year's Tingzhou is really booming in all walks of life.
The people on Heizi's side also share a lot of money. Those who follow Lin Chengwu are now very smart. They used to fight with red eyes for dozens of copper coins. Now, to beggars, the price starts with ten coins. It was really generous, and it also aroused the jealousy of many people. In Tingzhou, there are quite a few people from the lower ranks.
When the big guy slowly realized that this was a kind of mercenary, someone really thought about it. The town of Wanghe is now well-known in the market, and everyone knows that there is still such a group of people. Those who are bold and jealous, simply ran to Wanghe Town, some who wanted to make money but were shy. The trustee also intends to join in.
Now, there are at least a dozen people who come to Wanghe Town every day. Heizi never refuses to come. As long as he can hold a bow and put an arrow, he dares to ask for it. For these newcomers, they can eat at least without spending money, and everyone can get clothes as long as they join. These two points have already made many people envious. They do not only train for half a day every day. , There is nothing to do, very easy. New Bayi Chinese website debut
As soon as the news came out, more people came. It is no exaggeration to say that there are at least half of the beggars in Tingzhou now. Not to mention Tingzhou, even the workshops in Xizhou got the news. Many people who had a hard time came to Tingzhou. It’s not so easy to serve as a soldier, and you can’t get so much money. Their reasons.
It’s true that when soldiers eat food, they don’t get much money. The mercenaries on Heizi’s side are quite different. Not only can they eat food, they also get a lot of money. Just do it once or twice, and you’re rich.
After more than half a month, the number of people in Wanghe Town has surged to more than 1,300, which made Heizi have to find Li You quickly. If people come again, Wanghe Town will really be unable to live. Li You's account is that if you can recruit 500 people, you can expand the team to 1,000 people.
After hearing Heizi’s complaint, Li You said: “It’s nothing to raise these people to eat and dress. It’s not a problem with the money you got from the Qing Dynasty last time to support them. , You have to explain a little bit. You are mercenaries and not bandits, and you must have a certain degree of discipline. You must explain this clearly."
"Young Master, you are afraid that they will cause trouble, this Young Master can be at ease."
Li You shook his head and said, "An Xin, this can't be reassuring. You don't have as many people as they are, and there are too few people in charge. If someone becomes a bandit, I really want to order the strangulation."
Heizi got up and said, "Young Master, I will definitely explain this matter. If someone does this, he won't need to take the initiative, and the younger one will definitely deal with it."
"You'd better be able to hold it down. Now, I have sent someone to find out about the situation of the Shatuo people in the north. There are quite a few of them. The nearest branch has 5,000 people, and their resident is still there. In Keta Lake outside the city, the city is controlled by another Shatuo tribe. There are more than 1,000 troops stationed in the city, and there are more than 3,000 people from their tribe outside the city, two tribes plus There can be more than 10,000 people together, so you just need to recruit people and strengthen training. I will figure out the rest for the rest."
"It's the young master, the young one understands." After he finished speaking, he paused, and said: "Young master, the other party has too many people. Even if we have more people, we may not be the opponent."
Li You smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will send soldiers to help you. After all, if you have money, there are people. When the battle is over, the big guy can turn to Broken Leaf. Okay, you Don't worry about it. Train your manpower at ease than anything else. This battle will be won easily."
When Heizi was about to leave, Li You stopped him and asked him: "Heizi, weapons and bows, do you still lack it?"
"Young Master, there is no shortage. You gave us all the weapons that you collected from the Chumu Kun Department last time. They were just used, and there is still more."
"Okay, then I can rest assured, you go back first." Li You only then let Heizi leave.
A day later, Li You went to Youshan. Now some houses have been built here. Most of them are used for stacking materials. There are not many people here. There are only more than 100 builders. As for oil refining There are more than 30 craftsmen, but there are 100 sergeants guarding here.
They have already dug up the oil spring and paved a small oil pool with stone slabs. They only need to fill the oil with wooden barrels and pick it up to the oil refining workshop below the mountain. After slowly repairing here, oil refining will not have to be so troublesome in the future, just build an oil refining workshop directly up the mountain.
There are more than 20 craftsmen, and what they do now is to use stone strips to make walls, build houses, and seal all the oil springs here. As for the oil springs, there are already several places that Li You saw, instead of the two places Li You saw at the beginning, and oil ponds have been built in these places, which is quite convenient to access.
As for oil refining, this is a bit different from the later generations. Now the fractionation is a bit complicated. Li You knows by looking at it that it is more like a mixture of kerosene and gasoline, but he doesn’t care if it is pure or not, anyway, it’s just Used to set fire, that's it.
These people who refine fierce oil are still special people that the state government can find in Tingzhou, just a few people, and the rest are helpers. I’ve been working here for a few days, and the amount of fierce oil produced is only a dozen altars, which is less than a hundred catties per day. Fortunately, it’s not going to fight a super large-scale war. It’s still satisfying. use.
Li You only stayed here for one day, and then went back to Tingzhou. He still had a lot to do. If he wanted to attack Broken Ye, he had to prepare a stone thrower. Otherwise, this fierce kerosene would not be thrown away. Go up to the top of the city, and make more ceramic jars for fire. (End of this chapter)
