Chapter 85: The Decision of the Head of the House

All medium-sized ships are calculated according to one hundred materials, and the Zhang family needs to pay the Xu family a thousand yuan for the Great Zhou system.

The Zhang family did not have so much cash, and they did not have all the gold, silver, copper and silk, so they could only pay half in advance, and the remaining half would be offset by grain, fish, and the main berthing expenses of the Xu family's fleet within this year.

The victory was won by Xu Shiyang in a dock fort, so most of this income went to him.

Xu Shiyang took sixty percent, and all the grain and fish sent by the Zhang family in the next year will be owned by Shiwutun.

There is also a new Xu family fleet, from today onwards, the Xu family room and the second room each have two big ships, and the remaining one is clearly owned by Xu Shiyang (temporarily continued to be under the jurisdiction of the second room fleet), even if the owner of the dock fort of the Xu family needs Xu Shiyang's sea capacity, he will have to pay him a part of the remuneration.

This is also a kind of feudal morality, even if it is a relative, you can't take the benefits of others in vain.

In terms of captives, Xu Shiyang kept only a few Japanese craftsmen, and the rest were all converted into grain and sold to his own dock lord - Xu Shiyang himself had no confidence in the loyalty of these pirates, and he was short of population, preferring to recruit some outcasts.

It's better to exchange some food and come back, last year, the Xu family's dock fort owners have accumulated a lot of food, and it is a waste to store it in the granary, so it is better to change it to cultivate Xu Shiyang's most trustworthy new army.

As punishment for Xu Shiyang's violent beating of his uncle, Xu Mujiang punished him to pay a cow and a mule to Xu Muze as compensation.

However, the order of the Xu Shiyang brothers to remove Xu Muze from his position in the fleet was not changed, and Xu Muze was reappointed as the steward of Changfang Yitun, responsible for persuading farmers - in this era, there was no need to persuade farmers to work hard, so Xu Muze had actually lost all his duties and could only rely on the share of land assigned to him by Changfang to make a living.

Another personnel change of the Xu family is that Xu Shiliu, the second son of the second room, succeeded Dong Chao as the owner of the 14th Tunbao, and Dong Chao replaced Xu Muze as the financial director of the fleet.

After all this was straightened out, the excited heads of the families set up a banquet again, this time, Xu Shiyang participated in the banquet and did not beat anyone at the banquet.

It's just that this kid didn't change his true character as a warmonger, and proposed at the festive banquet that each family send some troops to gather an army to wipe out all the bandits in Juzhou and Rizhao counties.

Without affecting the farming, each dock fort can transfer ten dozens of families, and now the six alliances have nearly a thousand people, plus Xu Shiyang's one hundred new troops who were already out of production, the strength is enough.

Moreover, the bandits also have to cultivate in the mountains, otherwise they will also starve, so now the cottages can be used, in fact, only full-time or semi-full-time old bandits, a cottage can have more than 100 people, even if it is very strong, it is impossible to have a tenfold advantage in the strength of the opponent of the coalition army.

If the bandits can be successful, it will naturally be of great benefit to the local wealthy families.

This is something that everyone understands, and it is also the most important reason why each family is willing to come to the alliance with the Xu family - they all want to use the combat power of the Xu family, which can break 100 to 3000, to create an environment for themselves to live with peace of mind.

Thus, the first collective action of the six alliances was decided.

At the banquet, the excited heads of the families asked the dock castle owners to tell how many people they could produce at this time, and all the dock castle owners knew the importance of this matter, this one out of fifteen, that one out of twenty, a total of more than 700 people.

In the end, the Xu family promised to dispatch 300 people, including Xu Shiyang's new army, a total of 1,000 people, each of whom would prepare their own military rations, and gather at Zhang's house at the beginning of next month to act together, first attacking the bandits near Rizhao, and then going to Juzhou, which had already been pacified, and striving to eliminate all the medium-scale bandit gangs with more than 100 people within half a year.

Because Xu Shiyang sent the most troops and his combat effectiveness was obvious to all, the heads of various families appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the joint anti-bandit force on the spot to rule and dispatch the troops.

It seems that in order to slightly suppress Xu Shiyang's tyrannical character, several heads of the Rizhao family strongly asked Xu Shiliu to serve as the praise painting of the coalition army, which was finally approved by the Xu family and the Fan family on the Juzhou side.

It's just that Xu Shiyang found that the head of his family seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the second room occupying all the important positions of the coalition army.

It's no wonder that the Xu family is indeed the leading wealthy family in Juzhou, but internally, no matter what he, the head of the family, can do to affect the decision of the whole family, he must get the consent of Xu Muhe, the second owner of the family - both of them are Jinshi, both have been officials in Da Zhou, and they both have some connections in Jiangnan, and they are not much worse in terms of strength.

In the past year, Xu Shiyang has risen strongly, fighting Tartars, destroying bandits, and fighting rogues, all with him as the main force, and even he simply went up to do things alone.

Recently, I heard that Xu Shiyang restored the two dock forts that were destroyed by the Tartars last year, although he has not yet asked his family for the name of the dock fort, but the strength is already there, plus a big sea ship that has been clearly owned by him, the fifteen tun series has faintly surpassed the three-room Xu Muhai and become the third largest force in the Xu family.

If Xu Shiliu is as powerful as Xu Shiyang, let him develop for another year, plus Xu Shiyang and the strength that the original second room has, wouldn't the strength of the second room far exceed that of the long room?

When the next generation really starts to take the lead, it is difficult to say whether the head of the Xu family is still a person from the long house.

'Gotta figure it out. ’

The best way, of course, is that there are a few generations in the long house.

It's a pity that Xu Shiliu held the position of praise painting, which was jointly guaranteed by the four heads of the family in Rizhao, and the Xu family was chosen, if he objected, it would give people the feeling that the head of the Xu family was squeezing his nephew.

If you can't strengthen the long room, then you can only weaken the second room. ’

Xu Mujiang glanced at Xu Shiyang with an unkind face.

He offended the Tartars, and sooner or later the Tartars will come to take revenge, and this is the best chance. ’

……

At the beginning of April, Xu Shiyang returned to his dock fort, and with him came back a thousand stone of grain belonging to him, the first grain and salted fish paid by the Zhang family, and about 500 yuan worth of money.

With money and food, the high-intensity training of the troops of the new army can begin again.

But the first thing Xu Shiyang did after returning home was still to hold a meeting and make a summary.

This time I went to Rizhao to fight the Japanese invaders, although it was a big victory, but there were a lot of problems that could be exposed, especially the spearmen of the new army, almost half of them were attracted by the little property on the corpses of the Japanese invaders, and only more than 20 people followed Xu Shiliu all the way to the beach.

This atmosphere of seeing small profits and forgetting big things must be changed, but after all, it is a brilliant victory, and after killing the enemy, the rule that the property on the enemy's body belongs to the soldiers is also set by Xu Shiyang, and of course no one can be punished at this time.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang decided to only reward and not punish this time.
