I don't know what year and month it will take, Qin Quan thought to himself, he fought this battle, won consecutive battles, and he couldn't hold back the desire to lead the army in his heart, so he couldn't bear it when he saw Sister A leading the troops alone.

"I can leave my post first and help Brother Lu train the army."

"That's okay, your sister is a captain, and you help train the troops, isn't it the best of both worlds?" Lu Yuan said.

"Sister's training method is completely different from mine, how can this work." Qin Quan shook his head.

Lu Yuan looked at Qin Youyu and motioned for her to decide, Qin Youyu looked at Qin Quan and said, "What do you want?" ”

"It's better to choose one of Hou Bantou or Jin Zhutou to be the captain of the city defense, and I will help them train their troops." Qin Quan said what was in his heart.

"That's a good idea, so what are you asking me to do? Help you raise horses? Qin Youyu said with a smile.

"Sister, don't be angry, I'll help you think of a good place to go." Qin Quan had already planned.

Qin Youyu was silent, and Lu Yuan hurriedly asked, "Where to go?" ”

"Regimental training camp."

Lu Yuan immediately searched his memory, the regimental training camp in the Southern Tang Dynasty was a militia unit set up by the county government itself, although the imperial court allowed it to exist, but because the cost of the regimental training camp was all borne by the county government itself, the general small county could not afford to raise it at all, and the city defense battalion that could afford it was directly raised, so it was useless.

"How much money did you get this time?"

If you want to raise a group training camp, you must need a lot of money, and since Qin Quan has this proposal, this time to exterminate the bandits, you will definitely reap a lot of money.

"The gold, silver and jewelry on my side are converted into silver taels, about more than eight thousand two hundred taels of silver, and after subtracting those for General Zhang, there are more than four thousand one hundred taels left." Qin Quan said with a smile.

Lu Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, this was a huge amount of money, and he looked at Qin Youyu expectantly.

"I'll get about 12,400 taels of silver here." Qin Youyu smiled.

Lu Yuan only felt that his whole body was hot, he paced back and forth in the room, and said, "In this way, we have gained a total of ten thousand and three hundred taels of silver. ”

"It's thirteen thousand five hundred taels of silver." Qin Youyu said.

Qin Quan and Lu Yuan were both taken aback when they heard this, and looked at her, Qin Youyu wanted their expressions, and they held their cheeks and admired them.

"Sister, what have you done to be proud, hurry up." Qin Quan didn't have a good airway.

"It's nothing, it's just that I subdued Wang Meng."

"What do you say?" Lu Yuan plucked his ears with his fingers and asked.

Seeing his stunned expression, Qin Youyu sneered and said, "I said that Wang Meng was subdued by me, and he is more willing to listen to me now than Zhang Qian's words." ”

"How is this possible?" Although Lu Yuan had always trusted her, he was still a little unbelievable when he suddenly heard her say this.

However, when he recalled that when he saw Wang Meng again, he seemed to be much more honest, and he didn't say a word next to Qin Youyu, and when he first came, the change was not small.

"Brother Lu, Sister is the best at convincing people's hearts, when I was a child, children of the same age loved to listen to her the most, I just didn't expect that for so many years, she didn't have much contact with people, and she still had this kind of ability." Qin Quan sighed.

"Amazing, amazing." Lu Yuan couldn't help but praise.

"Don't take my scheming as if I was scheming, I just talked to him a few times, and he confided his ambitions to me, and I encouraged him a few words, and the next day he pledged his allegiance to me." Qin Youyu said dissatisfied.

This is the charm of personality, Lu Yuan thought to himself.

"He is currently in command, but you have no official position, why would he be loyal to you?" He asked.

"Because I told him that it wouldn't be long before I would become a general, and he believed it." Speaking of this, Qin Youyu squinted at Lu Yuan, as if to say:

"I've packed tickets with others, don't hurt me to be a trustworthy person."

"You will become a general, and you will definitely be able to help Wang Meng realize his burden." Lu Yuan hurriedly made a statement.

"I believe it too." Qin Youyu smiled.

"In this way, Wang Meng will hide the amount for us." Qin Quan coughed on the side and said.

"Yes, he will report that the seized silver taels are six thousand taels, so we only need to divide the three thousand taels on our side."

"Where did you put the silver?" Lu Yuan asked.

"When I settled those women, I ordered the marquis to open the mountain and take a few officials to dig a pit and bury them." Qin Youyu said.

"I ordered someone to bury it at the foot of Jiming Mountain." Qin Quan smiled.

How do you like to bury it, Lu Yuan thought to himself and asked, "There won't be any problems, right?" ”

"Brother Lu, don't worry, I only ordered the sergeant to dig the pit, and the burial was done by me and Hou Kaishan at night."

"I let a few henchmen bury them, Brother Lu can rest assured, I will send someone to move to the county government tomorrow." Qin Quan said.

Your henchman has also been collected too quickly, Lu Yuan thought to himself, but he naturally would not question Qin Quan back then, walked back and forth a few steps, and said:

"Tomorrow you will divide the silver into three parts, and each of you will keep five thousand taels as a military salary, and the remaining three thousand taels shall be temporarily stored in the bamboo house for later use."

"Brother Lu, those silver taels are a little scattered, and many of them are jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, so it's not convenient to pay salaries." Qin Youyu said.

That's the same, you can't give out other people's calligraphy and paintings when you pay for a while, after a while, Lu Yuan said:

"Then try your 5,000 taels to choose silver money, if it is not enough, go to the county seat, find antique shops, gold shops to exchange calligraphy, painting and jewelry for silver taels, remember to do it in batches, try not to attract attention."

Qin Quan answered, and began to think about how to use these military funds, he could buy fifty war horses first, plus dozens of horses to suppress the bandits, and then he could form a cavalry.

He was proficient in the art of horse breeding, and loved cavalry the most, and his own horses were all wild horses that had been domesticated over many years.

But wild horses are difficult to tame, and if you want to form a cavalry in a short time, you can only buy them, but unfortunately a horse costs more than 30 taels of silver, and he can only buy more than 50 horses at the moment.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked Qin Youyu, "Sister, have you killed all those bandit captives?" ”

"The most vicious people were naturally killed, but there are some loyal and righteous people among these people, but they took a wrong step and strayed into the bandits' den, I just want to plead with Brother Lu and let them go." Qin Youyu said softly.

"It seems that the two of us see the same thing, and there are many prisoners on my side, Brother Lu, it is better to let these people join the regimental training camp."

"Absolutely." Lu Yuan asked: "How much silver does it cost to raise a regimental training camp and a city defense battalion in a year?" ”

"The soldier's salary is about more than 2,000 taels, and the grain costs 1,000 stones, and the regimental training camp does not need to provide salary, as long as there is food, but because the imperial court will not provide weapons and clothes, it still needs 500 taels to buy these equipment."

In ancient China, the most prevalent conscription system was the government military system and the conscription system. The government military system integrates soldiers and farmers, soldiers work in peacetime and fight in wartime, and there is no military pay, but taxes are completely exempt.

However, this system needs the support of the Juntian system, and in the late Tang Dynasty, the land annexation was serious, and no one was willing to be a government soldier, so the conscription system appeared.

The Southern Tang Dynasty was a conscription system, and the salary of local soldiers was generally 500 wen per month to provide food and accommodation.

From a historical point of view, when the productive forces were low in ancient times, the combat effectiveness of the government and military system was lower, but it was relatively friendly to the state finances and did not require a large amount of military salary expenditure, but it was necessary to prevent land annexation and the collapse of the land equalization system.

However, Lu Yuan, who came from the 21 st century, knew that with the development of productive forces, the conscription system was the trend of development, but it was also necessary to avoid the situation that the financial expenditure in the late Song and Ming dynasties could not bear the military salary, so it was necessary to vigorously develop the productive forces.

Lu Yuan hoped to implement the conscription system in the future, so he said:

"The regimental training camp also pays silver like the city defense battalion, and the grain is taken directly from the county granary, and there will only be more and more grain in the future."

Qin Quan nodded, thinking that it was no wonder that Brother Lu also gave Sister Ke 5,000 taels of military salary, it seemed that he was preparing to use the regimental training camp as another city defense battalion.

This time to suppress the bandits, the Qin sisters and brothers proved their ability, and also seized a large amount of silver, Lu Yuan's ambition began to quietly expand, he said:

"From tomorrow, I will set up a regimental training camp, with Jin Yuanwu as the commander of the regimental training, and Brother Qin as the head of the regimental training to assist Jin Yuanwu."

Qin Quan was slightly taken aback, didn't he say that Sister Ah would command the regiment to practice the camp? How did Brother Lu let himself train.

"What about the borrowed battalion of soldiers and horses?" Qin Youyu didn't seem to care.

Qin Quan hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, the news that other cottages have been exterminated will come, and it will be difficult to exterminate Xisanzhai in a hurry, so it is better to station them first, I expect that Xisanzhai will flee to Xiuning." ”

He was afraid that Lu Yuan would be impulsive and would attack Xisanzhai.

"Just according to Brother Qin's words." Lu Yuan bowed slightly: "Miss Qin, I want to divide the regimental training battalion into two, with you as the commander of the other battalion, and I hope that your battalion can recruit some female soldiers, what do you think?" ”

Lu Yuan was stunned when he saw Qin Youyu, and added:

"Didn't you just save some trafficked women? You may wish to ask them for their advice, and if they have no relatives, you can put them in the women's barracks, and if they have families, you can send them back to their hometowns. ”
