When it was dusk, You Haibo finally counted it.

He walked in with the scribe of the county government, and at this time, Zhang Qiang was still full of sorrow in the face of the full food, frowning and thinking about how he would deal with it next.

In the hall of the county government, more than a dozen sesame oil lamps are lit around, shining brightly.

The scribes chattered endlessly, and they also told about today's captures, casualties of troops, and pensions for troops, grain, grass, and materials in the county town.

"1,200 stone of grain seized." Zhang Qiang knew that one stone in the Ming Dynasty was about one hundred and twenty catties in later generations, and one thousand two hundred stones of grain was a lot, almost, 140,000 catties of grain, which seemed a lot in his opinion.

You Haibo seemed to see Zhang Qiang's thoughts, and said to Zhang Qiang cautiously: "Lord Garrison, we have 8,000 people, 1,200 prisoners, 1,000 troops, almost more than 10,000 people, and one person can only eat for seven days according to two catties a day." ”

Zhang Qiang jumped up, "Cattle." ”

You Haibo said: "My lord, the people have not eaten much food at home in the past month, from today onwards, we still have to give them some, I originally wanted to report this matter to you, but you took the army out to inspect, so I didn't have time to report it to you."

My lord, you know that the Qing army attacked, and there were many disasters in this vicinity, and the people could not farm and produce at ease, besides, our Wuyi County is a mountainous terrain, and the arable land is insufficient, only one and a half out of ten, even in ordinary times, many people have to find something to do, go to Jinhua Mansion to buy grain to eat, and many times have to rely on eating wild vegetables to survive, and now the population has decreased sharply, although the burden is reduced, but they all come to the county seat, and we can't afford to supply it. ”

If we don't supply the people with food, the people are likely to go up the mountain to become bandits, or be coerced by the bandits, or go away, which is not conducive to your development, so we have to help the people, according to the calculation of three taels per person a day, our 8,000 people, even if we throw away the babies and children who eat less, 1,000 people, we also need more than 2,000 catties of food to feed the people, which is just a day's consumption. ”

Zhang Qiang knocked on the table with his hand, his eyes looked at him, You Haibo paused, organized a sentence and said: "We give the soldiers defending the city one pound of food per person per day, and give the soldiers three pounds of food per person per day, so that the consumption of a thousand soldiers is 1,500 jin to 3,500 jin a day." ”

Zhang Qiang asked, "So, 140,000 catties of grain is just for us for a month?" ”

You Haibo said: "My lord, you brought back 1,200 captives, what should you do?" This also requires eating, at least not a thousand catties a day? ”

Zhang Qiang said: "No need, 100 catties of grain every day, 90 catties of food can be made into flatbread or boiled into dense porridge, and the rest can be boiled into batter or gruel like clear soup, starve them for three days first, arrange for them to work, and give me the point that the enemy cannons repaired in the city can't collapse, and then according to our arrangement in Jinhua, build more solid fortifications in the county, highlands, pillboxes, towers, watchtowers, I want to make the county town into a fortress, if the enemy comes to attack, they will not die 10,000 people, they don't want to take Wuyi County." ”

You Haibo was taken aback, he still didn't know much about this person, sometimes he was wise and decisive, the army he trained was very elite, and he was decisive in killing; Sometimes it is the child's heart, and from time to time some thoughts come out of his mouth that he seems to be puzzled; Sometimes he is as shrewd as an emperor and knows how to weaken his power, but seeing him do this at the moment, he feels that Zhang Qiang doesn't know what is wrong.

After thinking about it, You Haibo knew that in the current situation, Zhu Dadian would definitely not send troops to help, the county's troops were limited, and he could not go out to sweep the enemy, and the enemy, even if it was a rogue, could run rampant in the county, which was an insult and intolerable for a person like an emperor of the soil.

"My lord, will this cause the captives to mutiny and resistance, but it is better to kill them all, and there will be some less fetters?" You Haibo asked cautiously.

Zhang Qiang sneered, "These people are still useful, slowly transform them into my soldiers, if these cold-blooded killers who have experienced the war can't be used by me, won't I fight this battle in vain?" ”

You Haibo didn't know what Zhang Qiang wanted to do, so he had to respond carefully: "Yes, my lord is wise." ”

Zhang Qiang waved his hand and said to the scribe standing on the side, "Go on." ”

The scribe carefully reported: "My lord, other meat and vegetables have been seized, and 300 stone of vegetables have been seized. ”

Zhang Qiang said to You Haibo: "All of them are charged to the county treasury, and only soldiers can eat them." ”

The scribe continued: "Twenty-five carts, one hundred and thirty wheelbarrows, three hundred and fifty pack horses, one hundred and twenty war horses, three thousand two hundred silk silks, one thousand five hundred pounds of iron ingots, two hundred pounds of copper ingots, thirty-five barrels of gunpowder, one hundred barrels of saltpeter, seventy barrels of sulfur, three hundred agricultural implements, and one thousand sets of cloth clothes. ”

He flipped a few pages, "Thirty sets of Mingguang armor, fifteen sets of chain mail, one hundred and fifty sets of ordinary iron armor vests, ten sets of scale armor, four hundred and fifty sets of cotton armor of the Qing army, eight hundred and fifty sets of cloth armor of the Qing army, three hundred and twenty sets of paper armor of the Ming army, seventy-five sets of chain armor of the Qing army, fragments of armor of the Qing army, helmets, and gauntlets, a total of one hundred and fifty pieces." ”

Zhang Qiang pointed at You Haibo and said: "Let the blacksmiths in the city repair those broken and damaged armor and helmets, and the wages will be one pound of food per person per day." ”

The scribe continued to report, "Twenty-five enemy muskets were captured, thirty-five muskets were damaged, three hundred and fifty muskets of the Ming army were damaged, one hundred and fifty were damaged, and two hundred and fifty three-eyed muskets of the Ming army were damaged, and seventy-five were damaged. 350 guns were raised, three tiger squatting cannons of the Ming army, and 75 shells. Fifteen barrels of gunpowder. ”

Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, "The damaged ones are given to those craftsmen, let them repair them, and if they can repair a few, they will be handed over to the blacksmith to return to the furnace, and the other muskets will supplement my team, and the firecrackers will also be added to my team, as for carrying the guns, they will be handed over to the people in the city, and they will be used to defend the city when the time comes. ”

You Haibo arched his hand and replied, "Yes, my lord." ”

The scribe turned a page, a smile appeared on his face, Zhang Qiang looked at him strangely, the scribe smiled at Zhang Qiang, and said complimentarily: "My lord, the enemy captured two hundred and twenty-seven thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold." ”

You Haibo touched his beard and said: "My lord, now we are rich, in order to appease the people, to repair the city wall, for your troops, I spent a lot of money." ”

Zhang Qiang smiled and waved his hand, "Then pay back the money you have advanced first, and the rest will be confiscated, and it will be used to buy food and materials from outside as public expenses in the future." ”

The scribe interjected: "My lord, look, did you take out some first, 10,000 taels for your household?" ”

"Hehe," Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Everything here is mine, why divide each other?" ”

The scribe smiled reluctantly, "Yes, yes, it's all grown-up." And then a smile you know.

It's not that Zhang Qiang doesn't love money, but he knows that at this moment, he still has too little silver taels, and if he puts it in his pocket, then soon his soldiers will mutiny, and there will be a shortage of office funds, and his stall will not be able to operate, and he will talk about hegemony when the time comes.
