Of course, everything is relative, if Gao Kongmu can't use this sword to suppress the rebellion, then Duan Xiushi will use his own sword to behead him - very simply, before the riot spreads, it is not uncommon for the Jiedu to borrow the head of the Confucian official to please and please the rebels.

Gao Yue looked at the sword hidden in the sheath, his throat couldn't help but gurgle, and his whole body was stirred.

Fortunately, Duan Xiushi has always been strict with the army, and under his moderation, no general has dared to rebel.

From the various account books in Jingzhou, Gao Yue quickly figured out the details of Anxi and Beiting's camps:

There were 30,000 soldiers and 5,000 horses in the camp, and the imperial court allocated "520,000 horses for clothing and 350,000 stone for grain" from the taxes and other funds of Zheng and Ying Prefectures every year to meet military needs.

Generally speaking, the clothes given to soldiers are divided into spring and winter, spring clothes are three, and winter clothes are four, which means that a soldier's clothing should be seven horses a year, so the total number of clothes required by the Jingzhou army is 210,000 horses; As for food, the local soldiers in Jingzhou eat more corn, giving one stone a month, which is twelve stones a year, and the corn consumed by 30,000 athletes is 360,000 stones a year; The price of corn and rice have a conversion rate problem, which is about the price of ten stone corn is equal to the price of six stone of rice, which means that the total amount of rice required for the operation is about 220,000 stone. In addition to the grain and grass consumed by horses, it can be converted according to the ratio of "one horse and three pawns", and 5,000 horses are equivalent to an additional 15,000 soldiers, which requires 130,000 stones.

So, where do the extra 310,000 pieces of cloth go?

It turned out that Jingzhou was listed as a state without nationality by the imperial court, which means that because it is located in the frontier, there have been wars for many years, and the land is barren, so there is no need to levy taxes from the imperial court, and in turn, the imperial court will transport rent taxes from Zheng, Ying, and Hua to visit the army, but the freight is money, and with Liu Yan's efforts, although the freight has been effectively reduced, it is also equivalent to the point of one stone of rice and two through five hundred "foot price", so the rice of 350,000 stone is transported to Chang'an, and then exchanged for corn by the envoy and sent to Jingzhou, and the freight alone will cost about 900,000 yuan - alas, It is no wonder that in the entire world of the Tang Dynasty, eight out of ten taxes were spent on raising the army.

The freight cost is 900,000 yuan, which is converted into silk cloth, which is about 220,000 horses.

Therefore, of the extra 310,000 pieces of cloth, 220,000 were budgeted for the price of the grain.

But what about 90,000 horses left?

Gao Yue checked the whereabouts of the lower branch, nominally it was used to buy rice and grain for military storage, that is, to purchase the grain produced in the local area and store it in the warehouse, but Jingzhou now has no one in ten fields, and there is no rice for money and silk cloth! Therefore, these 90,000 horses were all used for the gifts of the soldiers, because the food and clothing received by the town soldiers were only his own, and it was impossible for his wife and children not to need clothes and food.

Now there are several square towns in the northwest, with 50,000 Shuofang soldiers, 30,000 Fengxiang soldiers, 30,000 Jingyuan (Anxi Xingying) soldiers, and 30,000 Hedong soldiers, a total of 140,000 people; In addition, every year, elite soldiers are selected from other towns to prevent autumn, and the cost is even more doubled - if this continues, not only Anxi will camp, but the country will not be good......

Duan Xiushi asked about the autumn prevention matter, and Gao Yue slowly had an answer in his heart: not only to see the topography of Jingzhou, but also to see the overall situation of the whole country.

If you have a problem, you need to think about how to solve it.

When Gao Yue was thinking carefully, the two important officials walked to the main hall of Confucius Temple, saluted him, and then said, "The chief monk of Alanta Temple, Ming Miao, sued the former chief monk Ming Xuan, and secretly embezzled the permanent residence of the temple, and asked Gao Confucius to sit in the ya. ”

Alas? This is much busier than in Jixian Academy, and he actually has to push the case on the first day.

Wait, isn't this the same temple where Yun Shao and I stayed yesterday?

No wonder before I left today, the abbot (the presiding) asked me if I was the new Confucian official!

At this moment, an old official stepped forward and reminded: "Gao Kongmu, this case is an old case last year, and neither the previous Confucian official nor the judge can judge it, and the marshal once tried to mediate between the two parties to the dispute, but he was unsuccessful." ”

"It looks a little tricky, but I'm the one who wrote Huaibeilu!" Gao Yue sat upright, put the seal of the embassy in place, prepared the paper and pen for writing the judgment, and ordered the parties to be summoned to the court.

Soon, the chief monk Ming Miao and several other monks came, and Ming Xuan walked in after him, when Ming Xuan came to the door of Confucius Temple, he was surrounded and scolded by many monks of Alanta Temple, but the thin Ming Xuan did not say a word, lowered his head as if he did not hear.

Gao Yue saw that both sides of the dispute had arrived, and was just about to open his mouth to ask, when a voice suddenly came from outside the court, "I'll wait to see Gao Kongmu's case!" ”

With this voice, more than a dozen generals of the Anxi Army, including Liu Wenxi, Yao Lingyan, Ma Di, and Zhang Yufei, came to the main hall in martial arts crown uniforms and swords, and then sat down on the side.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, Gao Yue looked at this group of people, and his heart was shocked, knowing that the person who came was not good.

And the few calligraphers and other musicians in charge of recording in front of the book case trembled even more, they knew that this group of Qiu Ba was going to "kill" the new scholar Kong Mu Guan: as long as there are any omissions in the judgment, or the judgment is a gourd case, then Gao Yue will want to stay in the camp in Anxi in the future, it is wishful thinking - Gao Kongmu, Gao Kongmu, you only had a warm blood before you came, and you didn't inquire about the group of pushers in front of you, how did Kongmu go? They didn't walk peacefully at all!

In the main hall, Duan Xiushi, who had just returned from patrolling, had not yet started to meditate, and the entourage next to him told him that a large group of them would go to Confucius Temple to see the case of Gao Langjun pushing the Alanta Temple.

"Oh? This bunch of guys wants to bully people again. Duan Xiushi was a little angry, in fact, he also knew the inside story of the Alanta Temple case, but because his identity was not easy to say, Gao Yue, a young man, was afraid that he had no experience in dealing with it, no-after all, I invited him, he could have gone to his father-in-law's Xichuan Shogunate to lie down and get the generous money, and it was also a generous friendship to come to our Jingyuan, and he couldn't hurt Gao Yue's heart.

"Let's go!" Duan Xiushi walked straight to the Confucian Academy.

At this time, in the main hall of Confucius Academy, Zhang Yufei shouted, "Gao Kongmu hurry up and push the case!" ”

The other generals also chimed in.

Although there were some slight beads of sweat on Gao Yue's forehead, he was still calm on the whole, and he looked through the past files, and then asked Ming Miao, "You are the current chief monk of Alanta Temple?" ”

"Exactly......" Ming Miao replied respectfully.

"You want to sue the former principal monk Mingxuan?"

"Exactly."

"You said that when the Alanda Temple was replaced by the chief monk, it was necessary to hand over the permanent residence in the temple (similar to movable property), and Ming Xuan deliberately concealed ten taels of permanent residence gold when he made the delivery?"

"That's right, there's a book here." After Ming Miao finished speaking, he took the book of the temple's permanent residence from the monk next to him, and stepped forward to hand it over to Gao Yue's bookcase.
