Chapter 252: Counting Merit

Without the Battle of Shiqiao, the King of Qi would not have noticed him, without the support of the King of Qi and Liu Xiashang, without the Nan'an regimental training, without the regimental training donation, there would be no battle of the river beach, and without the battle of the river beach, it would be difficult to obtain a solid foundation and development. Then there was a trip to Beijing, and further to Qizhou, without these previous efforts, there would be no way to capture Chen Yutai's head, let alone obtain the wealth he has accumulated for more than ten years.

A pirate leader of more than 2,000 people, who once broke through the capital city of Zhangzhou, is of course just a pawn, and the wealth he has obtained is also very unimaginable.

For so many years, Chen Yutai's wealth to his subordinates is quite limited, and most of the pirates do not have many private collections, this is the rule in pirates, those who are not satisfied can stand up, many of the people Chen Yutai has killed for so many years are subordinates who want to share the money, and the end is to be standing on a stake, Chen Yutai personally used a sharp knife to disembowel these people and tell them to calm down.

As a result, the wealth accumulated for more than ten years has all fallen into the hands of Xu Zixian, and Chen Yutai's head has been cut off.

Xu Zixian didn't know, he only knew that he was very excited, quite excited.

This golden finger is really good, there is a million-dollar fleet outside, although the scale is not large, but it is a pretty good start. There are hundreds of thousands of goods and sundries, plus the gold, silver and copper coins that the pirates and Chen Yutai put outside, and they also cost four or five hundred thousand yuan, but the real highlight is the cellar where the money is stored.

The gold reserves of Dawei are not much, and the gold-silver ratio is 1:12, and it can reach 1:16 at most.

Xu Zixian believed that this was the result of many years of foreign trade, and that both the Tianfang and Taixi people liked to exchange copper or silver for gold.

Dawei did not use the gold standard, but the money standard, fortunately, 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 there are quite a lot of copper mines and a fairly developed mining industry, at least the Great Wei has not had a money shortage, and the number of copper coins is quite sufficient.

30,000 taels of gold, worth nearly 400,000 taels of silver, plus 110,000 taels of silver, gold and silver are worth more than one million guan, plus 600,000 guan of savings, and gold, silver and copper coins placed on the surface, worth more than two million guan.

If you count the goods, sundries, and antiques, the harvest is nearly three million.

Counting the fleet worth more than 1.5 million guan and the manpower gained, this time the income is calculated as 5 million kan, which is not an exaggerated result.

Li Yi, Kong He, Fu Qian, Chen Zuocai, Fang Shaoqun, as well as Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Zhang Huchen and others were all ordered to come, and everyone was shocked by the treasury in front of them.

Liu Yi said with a smile, "Chen Yutai has been in trouble for many years, but he has accumulated a lot of work and merit for our Nan'an group training, to be honest, our gang of people together do not have the contribution of the Chen brothers......"

Although it was still an inappropriate joke, this time no one in the crowd stopped Liu Yi, even the square and old-fashioned Kong He did not make a sound.

It is indeed the case, from the Battle of Shiqiao to the present, the Chen brothers have been sending money, food and credit, and now they are giving away the wealth they have accumulated for more than ten years, plus a great merit, it is really exhaustive to the Nan'an Hou Mansion, and it is just after death.

Xu Zixian shook his head and said to Liu Yi, "It's too mean, I want to punish you." ”

Liu Yi said solemnly: "Please show the prince." ”

"The gold, silver, and copper coins here should not be seen by the soldiers. Tonight, the ship Fu No. 1 of the water camp will arrive, leaving you with a hundred people, and all the gold, silver, and copper coins will be transported to the Eastern Domain. Antiques, utensils, jewelry, take care of it, and send Fu No. 2 to pick it up in two days and transport it to Nan'an. ”

"Yes, don't worry." Liu Yidao: "We must do things properly." ”

"Hmm." Xu Zixian nodded and said, "When you get to the Eastern Domain, say hello to Chen Duzhong, we already have a lot of people there, and I will go to the Eastern Domain in person after a while, and you will stay there for a period of time, and take a person from the capital to guard these belongings." ”

The first batch of 3,000 people have arrived in the Eastern Domain, and now Chen Dujing's father and son have arrived on the island, as well as Chen Duguang and Chen Duguang, and Chen Duzhong are also on the island.

According to Xu Zixian's plan, the first thing was to reclaim the cotton fields, and the earlier immigrants could only endure more hardships and sleep in shacks to survive this difficult period.

Even sleeping in the open air is difficult to sleep, Chen Duzhong's soldiers and horses will be opened on the periphery, and at the same time send soldiers and horses to guard the periphery of the selected pasture, in case the mountain savages come down to make trouble.

A small number of craftsmen and small craftsmen will successively lay the foundation of important buildings such as the Hou Mansion, barracks, and warehouses according to the plan during this time, and step up construction.

In addition, brick kiln factories, coal factories, lumber yards, docks, ports, storage areas, and trade areas are also quite important facilities, all of which are the highest priority, and the priority even exceeds that of the Houfu annex and the barracks area, and belong to the first batch of production and business facilities to be built.

Then down is the Houfu Annex, the barracks area, the family area, the school field, the pasture area, and the warehouse area.

Finally, ordinary people's homes can be built.

According to the information obtained by Xu Zixian, there are now 11,000 people, more than 1,000 households, and more than 3,000 dings on the Eastern Domain, and there are nine camps of different sizes on the island, with a large garrison of 1,000 people, and the smallest garrison is only one outpost.

The people have been slowly gathering and living for many years, and they are mainly located in a radius of more than 20 miles mainly in the lower reaches of Lengshui Creek.

Most of the people make a living from farming, mainly rice and legumes, as well as hemp.

In this era, Fujian also planted a large number of hemp, and later generations had misunderstandings about cotton production and cotton cloth production and sales, thinking that this thing was a necessity of life, so everyone had it.

In fact, many poor families do not have a cotton robe, although for the rich, silk and silk are expensive clothes, but for the poor, even a cotton jacket is also a very rare and expensive item.

More people are wearing linen robes, twisting linen into threads, and then weaving into clothes, no matter how thick the weaving is only suitable for spring, summer and autumn, in winter, no matter how thick it is worn, it will make people feel cold, but for many people, it is always better to have linen robes than to be naked.

A small number of people make a living by fishing or hunting, while others pan along streams for sand gold and do not catch much.

The upper reaches are places where there is a lot of sand gold, which is controlled by the alpine natives, and every once in a while, the natives will take the sand gold down to trade for some daily necessities, such as cloth, salt, iron tools, etc.

The entire Eastern Domain formed more than 20 natural villages, there were no large clans, and the ancestral halls were very small and not many.

The most are the Mazu Temple and the Land Temple, and there is a small land temple at the head of each village, and the incense is endless in all seasons.

The village is dominated by thatched houses, with straw roofs, rammed earth and straw walls, wooden beams and posts, and fairly rudimentary houses.

There are only a few buildings in the official mansion, and Chen Duzhong joked that he lived in a concierge that was not as good as the gatehouse of the Changwen Marquis Mansion, which was not a joke, but a fact.

This is a land of despair, there are not many garrisons, there are not many things, all I see every day is the blue sea, boundless, and I only have a deep sense of loneliness and powerlessness when I see it for a long time.

"I'll save it." Liu Yi nodded and agreed, his expression was quite solemn, this was an important errand, Qin Dongyang was not suitable, so he could only go to Liu Yi. Of course, he knew what the Eastern Domain was like now, with a large area of thatched huts and several defensive military villages, and a rudimentary dock for parking ships.

These items can only be hidden in a small military village, Xu Zixian should give a letter, Chen Duzhong should not refuse such a small request.

"At least two ships." Fu Qian's face was full of gains and losses.

"The soldiers who participated in the war are collectively counted as first-class merits." Xu Zixian said, "Those who rush into battle first, those who hold the flag, those who behead them, and those who capture the enemy leaders, calculate the merits separately, don't give in to the soldiers, the dead soldiers, and the pensions of the seriously injured soldiers, don't stop for a moment, start preparing immediately, and leave these things to Li Changshi and Kong Senjun to be responsible." ”

Everyone nodded, and it was conceivable that there would be a busy time.

Qin Dongyang will return to Nan'an with most of the soldiers, preparing to go to the Eastern Domain with the ship, and a large number of new soldiers will be transferred to Qizhou one after another, which should be mainly water battalion soldiers.

The old pawns on the Nan'an side will be dismantled one after another, enriching Qizhou, the Eastern Domain, etc., and the new pawns and the old pawns will be mixed one after another, and when the Eastern Domain is built to a certain stage, new pawns will be recruited in Nan'an.

Xu Zixian's goal is to expand the number of soldiers to 9,000 to 10,000 within this year.

Theoretically, as long as a victory is won on a certain scale, it is a collective meritorious service, and from the third class to the second class, and the first class is not necessarily.

This war eliminated the pirates who had been entrenched in Qizhou for more than ten years, seized a large amount of supplies, eliminated Chen Yutai and his troops, and killed Chen Yutai, the leader of the pirates with a lot of blood debts.

At the same time, a large number of people who were harmed by the Qishan bandits had to take revenge, which was a very strong comfort to people's hearts.

In the case of Xu Zixian himself, it is also a strong psychological satisfaction to be able to repay his father's hatred and satisfy the shortcomings of the previous generation of Nan Anhou.

First-class merit, worthy of the name.

For third-class merits, each soldier can be rewarded with five times, which is equivalent to two and a half months' salary. The second-class merit is ten, and the first-class merit is rewarded with thirty strokes.

In addition, the first to ascend, trapped, capture the flag, beheaded, wounded, all according to the level of merit to give different levels of rewards and subsidies.

There is only one thing that will never change, the resettlement expenses for seriously injured and disabled soldiers, as well as the bereavement pensions for soldiers killed in battle, and the subsidy and resettlement for their families, regardless of the level of merit, will be resettled and distributed according to the first-class standard.
