Yu Zhilong talked with the generals for a long time, and was about to end, when suddenly a person strode in outside, it was Tong Kui.

Tong Kui is Gao Shang's deputy, and in the past two days, he and Gao Shang have been busy in charge of the food and drink of thousands of people, collecting pots and pans, utensils, tents, mules, horses, etc., but they are busy.

Tong Kui came in and saw that all the generals were there, and Yu Zhilong sat in the middle and stepped forward to salute first.

"Tong Datou, what good things can you get today? The big guys are waiting with their eyes open? Huang Er asked with a smile. Tong Kui has a big head, although he is a young man, but he is kind and wooden, generous, and does his duty, and he is an old friend in the scout team. The crowd loved to laugh at him.

Everyone knows that Tong Kui went to the county treasury today to receive Liu Zhengfeng's seized and distributed materials to the leaders of the families, last night everyone seized a lot of the county treasury, Xie Lin provided a thick stack of account books, the money was checked with Yu Zhilong at the time, and later described to everyone that the abundance of seizures was the first time he saw after he joined the house, and I believe that the distribution will be rich.

Qian Zheng saw Tong Kui's uncertain expression, and stabbed Huang Er in the back, and Huang Er noticed Tong Kui's angry look.

"Tong Baihu, seeing your expression, didn't you receive the allotted things?" Yu Zhilong asked. At this time, all the generals present had already noticed that Tong Kui's expression was wrong.

"My lord, I have indeed received my share of the goods, but in addition to grain and rice, the amount of silver taels and silk is far less than expected. The total number is not as good as the sum of Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang. ”

"How so? Did you check it carefully? Zhao Shiqi said.

"The villain is indeed carefully checking the various property handed over to our department, according to the account books provided by Xie County Yin, the second of the ten property is indeed insufficient, I am afraid that I am illiterate, and I specially borrowed a few literate subordinates from the Fang Xue brothers, and everyone counted several times, and checked them one by one, which is indeed inconsistent with the number of account books. The villain asked the person in charge of distribution, and he said that when he first received it, there were so many, and many of the county treasury warehouses were not as full as the county Yin said, and it was estimated that the total number was only ten or seven. ”

Tong Kui took out a book of paper from his arms and handed it to Yu Zhilong.

"This is the number of all the materials received today, silver and other small items have been transported back to the camp, grain, rice, silk and silk because they need to be transported by carts, so they are still stored in the county treasury for the time being."

"My lord, I have provided all kinds of account books for my lord to sample and check that night, and at that time, the silver taels, silk, rice millet and so on were all one-to-one correspondence, how could there be such a big gap? If either the person who assigned it is lying, or the person who took over the county treasury in the first place has a problem! Schelling was taken aback.

"Last night, I handed over the county treasury to the two leaders, Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan, and the big leader Liu wants to take care of the whole army, so it shouldn't be like this. It seems that these two have secretly withheld a lot of property, otherwise they would not have shared so little today. Yu Zhilong sighed.

"They have done a lot of this before, but the appearance of these two people is too ugly, knowing that we have checked the account books, they have also deducted so much property, if they fight in front of the big leader, see what these two birds say?" Wu Side said indignantly.

"At the beginning, we fought Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang alone, and we were willing to give them so much gold, silver, grain and grass, and we also contributed the most to the county this time, but I didn't expect that the final distribution and seizure were actually so much pit by these two thieves!" Huang Er then said angrily.

Qian Zhengdao: "My lord, we will not give up on this matter, we will go to Leader Liu to make a clear argument, and we will definitely spit these two birds out of our mouths!" Sun Xing and the guards also applauded. Most of these guards are companions in the scout team, and because they have known Yu Zhilong and others for a long time, they speak more casually.

"Today, I saw in a private school in the city that someone had to forcibly marry a people's daughter, and I was not angry at that time, so I beat the leader in public, and this person was Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan's subordinates. At noon, when discussing and drinking together, the two of them were already uncertain, and if they quarreled again, they were afraid that the big leader's face would not look good, and our army would have a new victory, so they would make a big fuss about this matter and make outsiders laugh in vain. Besides, money is something outside the body, so you don't need to take it too seriously! This matter will not be mentioned again in the future. Yu Zhilong thought for a while and said slowly.

"Isn't that too cheap, these two birds!" Wu Side scolded one after another.

"Since the adults have spoken, don't wait for the future, and don't argue with others about it, now that my ministry is busy, it would be unwise to involve energy and cause disputes over this matter. The top priority at the moment is to organize and train all units as soon as possible and improve their combat effectiveness to deal with the Yidu Army! Zhao Shi spoke out to stop Wu Side's big mouth from complaining.

"My lord, I intend to leave a hundred households in the city, one is to possess the south city gate, and the other is to be stationed in the former Han army barracks, and they can also obey orders at any time. The rest of the troops were all out of the city, and they were stationed in the field west of the city, either to train troops, or to sweep and deter villages and towns, or to suppress bandits. Zhao Shi turned his head and suggested to Zhilong.

"That's it, the fang officials in the city, the township chiefs and Li Zheng of the surrounding villages must be replaced by the people of the Han family who are willing to drive for our army. Xie Xian Yin, this time the subordinates went to the countryside to sweep, and they needed to select loyal and familiar local errands to accompany them, not only to sweep the local Lizheng and township soldiers who were loyal to the Tartars, but also to clean up the ruffians and bullies who plagued the township and neighbors one by one, and if necessary, they could use knives! Attention, get rid of evil! The replacement may be a local person who is impartial in Matilda. Yu Zhilong has no objection,

"By the way, send out the news that our army has canceled all kinds of craftsmen and military households! Tell the villagers that our army will consider distributing acres of land, farm tools, and food for the winter to these people. The rest of the tenants, poor peasants, etc., will also reassess the interest and reduce their rent interest for previous years. Within three days, the county will issue a list to tell the surrounding neighbors to be safe and not to be impatient. Yu Zhilong continued to command.

"Xie County Yin, Master Fang, Qian Baihu, Brother Shi, you have worked hard tonight to make these charters, not to make a last resort, but to be simple and clear. After I read it tomorrow morning, I will become the master of Liu Da and ask him to decide. ”

Zhao Shi and the others stood up one after another and respectfully accepted the order. If it is said that Yu Zhilong used to fight wisely and bravely, and his achievements are impressive, today he sees that he has a clear command of various matters, and he has a faint demeanor of a phoenix spreading its wings.

"If nothing else, let's disperse."

The crowd obeyed the order and withdrew one after another. Yu Zhilong's mind was excited because he had experienced a lot of things today, and he finally felt extremely sleepy. He said a lot, but the details and regulations of how to act were not clear, but only gave a general direction. How to refine and standardize it needs to be determined by Zhao Shi, Xie Lin and others tonight.

Zhao Shi and the others, under the leadership of the guards, went to a side room next to them, and they must have been sleepless tonight.

Yu Zhilong turned around and asked Sun Xing: "Have all the soldiers who died in the battle yesterday been buried?" ”

"When the adults were sleeping, their subordinates had already buried all the soldiers of our army who had died in battle. It's just outside the city in a wasteland. It's just that there was no wooden coffin in a hurry, so they all found some straw mats and buried them simply. ”

Yu Zhilong followed Yu Haihou, went to fight everywhere, and every time the soldiers who died in the battle were allowed to be buried, they tried to find a wooden coffin for burial, but the officials and soldiers chased after them tightly, and there was no time and place to bury them, so they were generally wrapped in straw mats and buried in the soil.

Born in troubled times, everyone is indifferent to life and death. The dead are gone, and the living have the intention to bury their companions, which is already the intention of comrades, and as for the form, no one has the heart to care.

Yu Zhilong nodded, and then learned from the other party: "They follow us, do not avoid the knife and arrow, needless to say the hardships and dangers, now that they are dead, I have nothing to repay now, so I have to bury them hastily, but their British names cannot be buried, and their names, places of origin, and subordinate tribes must be recorded in detail into a book, which is called the Heroic Spirit Book. If there are family members, bereavement pensions should also be issued to make their lives as worry-free as possible and not to chill the deceased. ”

"No." Sun Xing is saluting.

A difference between Yu Zhilong and Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and others is that they are more concerned about the families of their deceased comrades, when they were still in the scout team, Yu Zhilong often transferred most of his share of the seized property to the families of his fallen comrades, although the number is not large, it can also help people to live for a few days, anyway, Yu Zhilong himself is alone, as long as he can have food and clothing.

Everyone knows what Zhilong did, and only admires Zhilong's light wealth and righteousness, and sees that he dares to fight and is strategic, and he is willing to be close to him in his heart. In terms of closeness in the team, it is stronger than Zhao Shi.

Yu Lan had the idea of being tempted because he knew that he was kind-hearted and a person who could be trusted for life.

The two of them said as they walked to the back of the hall. "I might as well ask Xie Lin if there are any other handsome people here, if I am willing, I may as well join the army to alleviate the current situation of lack of talent in our department. Even if I need to wait for three times, I can't do it! Yu Zhilong learned from the other party.

"In addition, has someone already arranged for the silver taels to be sent to the cloth shop?"

"Don't worry, Master Fang has informed his subordinates that he has arranged for his subordinates to send all the silver and silver over. Worried that the store was reluctant to accept money, he specially gave a full color of silver taels. The shopkeeper said that although the time was tight, he would contact his peers around him to allocate part of the amount, and everything would be completed within ten days according to the agreed requirements. ”

"Well, go back and ask Liujiazhuang how the military boots were completed, at that time we set in a hurry, the style and size were not explained, you see if there is any improvement, then Xie Lin is good at calculations, the county's accounts are well organized, and you and Gao Shang and Tong Kui are all teachers of it."

"No." Fang Xue should be promised. After the order was finished, Yu Zhilong ordered him to turn around, find Zhao Shi, Xie Lin, and Qian Zheng to do things, and return to the lodging with a few guards.

Since Xie Lin was retained by Yu Zhilong, he chose a small courtyard in the backyard of the county government for Yu Zhilong to stay overnight. Zhao Shi and Sun Xing saw that he had a heart, and they had nothing to do.

Along the outdoor corridor, Yu Zhilong slowly walked back to the back room, where several large trees were planted in the courtyard, and the shade of the trees covered the small half of the courtyard. There are many flowers and plants cultivated under the corridor, dozens of autumn chrysanthemums or with pipes, or blooming, the faint fragrance permeates the corridor, attracting countless bees and butterflies to fly in it.

At this time, it was late at night, and a round of bright moon was shining, and the cool breeze was refreshing. The courtyard was silent, only the footsteps of Yu Zhilong and a few people, and the birds in the bird's nest on the high trees were awakened by their disturbance, and made a low cooing song, which should be the mother bird caring for and coaxing the cubs.

The county government occupies a large area, and in front of it is the official hall, the number room, which is used by the county Yin and other daily office offices. There are several courtyards in the back, one of which originally lived in Xie Lin's family, Yu Zhilong let him still live there, and the other courtyards arranged for the county's chief bookkeeper and other officials to temporarily live in the whole family, and there were guards outside the courtyard, allowing them to go out to buy a variety of daily necessities, but their families were not allowed to come and go at will.
