Chapter 116: The Treasury

The heavy drawbridge was lowered with a bang, and the thick door creaked open. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Several figures wearing iron helmets leaned out of the door, shouting at the people outside.

Yang He shouted: "The firearms team and the baggage team stay here, and the rest enter the village!" ā€

As soon as he rode his horse, he rushed forward first, and saw Chen Qiuao, Han Daxia, Minister Yang and others with blood on their clothes and armor, and they were already waiting at the door with weapons.

Yang He instructed: "Go to the village to attack, the remnants don't have to pay attention to it, and go directly to their treasury where they store silver and two grains and rice!" ā€

A steady stream of coalition troops entered the village, and the black smoke drifted into the air, which was the fleeing bandits lighting fire everywhere to cause chaos, and the cries and shouts were loud, as well as the exchange of weapons.

The bluestone pavement was filled with the corpses of the bandits, and the blood that flowed out spread along the sides of the road, and soon formed ice in the wind and snow.

Along the way, you can see the figure of the bandits running in a panic, and then crying and being chased and hacked to death by the allied forces of the villages.

Seeing that many bandits were carrying large bags of things, all of them were rushing around, and they didn't have the heart to stop and resist.

They have been defeated by the whole army, and they just want to grab more things to escape, anyway, they are bandits, they are at home all over the world, they have wealth in hand, and they don't have to worry about not having a chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, although there were many bandits, they had no power to resist under the rout, and when they saw that the east gate and the west gate did not intercept the enemy, they fled to these places in a swarm.

Yang He took the ironclad soldiers and dozens of troops to attack the north of Jiaoshanzhuang, and the intelligence knew that the bandits' treasury was located in that area.

They soon reached the north, and saw barns behind a high wall, the gates open, and many bandits were fighting over here, all carrying something on their backs, and some people were holding torches, as if they were about to set fire.

Minister Yang, Han Daxia and the others roared and rushed forward, quickly beheading these bandits to death and accepting their packages.

There were also a few bandits who were about to set fire, and they were even chopped into pieces.

Surrounded by the ironclad soldiers, Yang He entered the warehouse, which was full of warehouses stacked with grain and grass materials, with all kinds of grain and grass in it, and a large house with a cellar connected to it, and inside were heavy large boxes, iron and copper locks.

Some of the copper locks had been smashed open, and white silver and scattered copper coins were scattered all over the ground.

There are also all kinds of jewelry, cloth, silk and other soft and soft goods.

Yang He casually opened a box, and the gold and silver treasures inside confused everyone's eyes, the gold cancan was gold ingots, fifty taels of ingots, neatly placed, that kind of shining brilliance, so that everyone around him collectively gasped.

Yang He picked up a ingot, it was heavy in his hand, and there was an inscription stamp on it, and he didn't know where the Jiaoshan bandits robbed the gold, so Yang He accepted it unceremoniously.

When I opened the other boxes, most of them were neatly placed silver ingots and silver bricks, the silver ingots were official silver, the silver bricks were people's silver, and even a few heavy silver winter melons were found.

There are countless other finely broken silver taels and copper coins.

Stroking these gold and silver treasures, Yang He's hands trembled a little, he finally had the capital for development, and more importantly, after the extermination of the Jiaoshan bandits, the surrounding area also ushered in a relatively stable development environment, which is equally important.

Like Yang He, the owners of the various villages who arrived in a steady stream looked at the house full of gold and silver treasures, and their eyes lit up and let out an exclamation.

Inspector Deng even trembled: "It's ...... I really sent ...... this time."

In the end, everyone roughly estimated that here alone, there were 44,000 taels of silver in stock, and 4,500 stones of grain and rice, enough for two or three thousand people to feed for half a year.

Looking at the full harvest, Yang He laughed, laughing as much as everyone in charge, the harvest of exterminating the bandits this time was too rich.

However, Yang He also had some regrets in the laughter, although these gold and silver were placed in front of him, most of them may have just been passed by himself, and then most of them would flow to the big-breasted sister and be exchanged for various materials.

She's really going to send it.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I was waiting to save money desperately, she sat comfortably and collected money, this person is really incomparable.

……

This battle collected statistics, because the Jiaoshan bandits belonged to the bandits of the nature of the bandits, all of them were young and strong, and there were no old and weak family members, only more than 200 robbed young and strong women were found in the village, all of them were humiliated and destroyed by the bandits.

These women, Yang He still took Xin'an Village, there are many women with similar experiences in his village, perhaps, they can settle down in the village, have a warm home, a comfortable and stable ondol.

The remaining bandits are estimated to have 1,500 people, and 1,000 people were killed in the chaotic pursuit, and the rest are unknown, but they did not receive Pei Pochuan's report overnight, and most of them fled to the northeast, probably to defect to the Tongshan bandits.

They were led by the six horse thieves, but during the pursuit, Pei Pochuan killed two horse thieves and captured two war horses.

Due to the lack of craftsmen in the village, Yang He hoped that some craftsmen could be captured in this battle, but these people did not know whether they escaped or were killed in the chaos, and Yang He did not have craftsmen to harvest.

In addition to the harvest on the surface, the villages also made a fortune this time.

The bandits belong to the wealthy trade, and the rogues are even richer, because they are all used to carrying their families on their backs, so among the 1,000 bandits who were killed, each of them had a few taels to dozens of taels of fine gold and silver.

After collecting the pockets of the bandits, all the Zhuang Zhuangding were full of pockets, and they were all happy.

According to the unspoken rules, these seizures belong to the private property of each young and strong villager, and do not need to be handed over.

According to the statement in advance, half of the gold and silver, half of the weapons, and all the grain and rice were captured from Xin'anzhuang in this battle.

Then the remaining 10,000 taels of silver were used as the military expenses of the townspeople.

There were more than 10,000 taels of silver left, in addition to compensating the dead and wounded, rewarding the auxiliaries and some brave soldiers, and the remaining thousands of taels of silver were inspected and divided with each master.

Everyone is smiling, such a harvest, if you come a few more times, what kind of fields will everyone work hard to plant?

Everyone also felt that Yang Xianggong was a kind person, although he ate a lot of food, he didn't forget to give the rest of the people some soup.

The distribution of seizures is still a prior declaration, above board, and upright, so that they can feel the benefits of following Xin'anzhuang.

Some people couldn't wait, and asked Yang Xianggong proudly, when will he go to fight the Tongshan bandits?

……

Of course, Yang He was not interested in fighting any Tongshan bandits, so let them fight to the death with Liu Zeqing and others, and if Li Qingshan and others were defeated in the future, they would see if the Tongshan bandits were not there.

If not, they occupy that place.

If so, presumably a bunch of water dogs are not to be worried.

They stayed in Jiaoshanzhuang for one day, and then the next day the class returned to the village, although Jiaoshanzhuang was dilapidated, but Yang He also decided to occupy it.

He left a force of twenty men here, the first class of killer soldiers, and the first class of firearms soldiers.

Although there are few people, after this battle, there must be no unsightly person who dares to come to fight this Zhuangzi's idea.

Besides, Xin'anzhuang is twenty or thirty miles away, and if anything happens, come to the rescue, it is only a matter of a moment.

……

The army returned to Xin'anzhuang with the capture, and there was no jubilation, and the defeat of the Jiaoshan bandits by the Twelve Zhuang coalition army can be described as shaking the four fields.

The name of Xin'anzhuang is truly spread far and wide.

The name of the Yang River has also officially entered the eyes of people in this vicinity.

Before the war, Yang He had discussed the matter of Xiangyong with the villages, and for the time being, Yang He still let them return to their hometowns, only half a month later, on the 15th of November, the formal assessment began, and the soldiers of Xin'anzhuang were about 500 people.

At the same time, Yang He also agreed with the masters to open a polder in front of Xin'anzhuang.

The location is located in the official road of the inspection department, once every seven days, for the ten miles and eight townships to point out the poldering location, and the rest shall not be opened.

There are many villages in this area, there are 2,300 young and strong, and there are tens of thousands of ordinary people, and the demand for goods is still fierce.

In the past, it was a bandit, and everyone didn't dare to go out, but now that the Jiaoshan bandits have been exterminated, there will be 500 townships in the future, and every household can rest assured that they will be able to rush to the town.

Yang He did not plan to open a private shop in Xin'an Village, except for people he trusted, he would not let ordinary people enter the village.

As soon as outsiders talk too much, the number of unstable factors increases.

What's more, the polder set is set up in the inspection department, not far from Xin'anzhuang, and it is very convenient to buy any commercial materials.

The wharves on both sides of the Yellow River will also be repaired, and in the future, merchant ships coming and going from Xuzhou and Pizhou can directly dock, and Yang He intends to make that area into a business area, and what goods are needed in the future, you can obtain a steady stream, such as a large amount of coal, which can be transported from Xuzhou.

It is best to build a cement road that leads directly to Pizhou and Suining.

Urbanization, urbanization, and urban agglomerations are the trends of general social and economic development.

The Yang River planned to create a new town on the edge of the Yellow River as a major place for trade and trade.

In the future, with Xin'anzhuang as the center and cement road as the connecting network, he will build one town after another.

And his Xin'anzhuang will become a heavy industry base, mainly developing cement, steel, arms and other industries, as well as various processing industries.

Of course, everything is still an assumption, and there is still a long way to go before the paper plan is implemented in reality.

Not to mention anything else, at the moment he is extremely short of workers, there are only three craftsmen in the village, Zhang Zhugong brothers, and many things need professionals.

For example, to build a brick kiln, there must be professional craftsmen, mining and iron smelting, need special smelting workers, as for the mold, many need to use the lost wax method and sand turning method, but also need to have a very advanced technology of craftsmen.

Yang He has heard about it, and there are about a dozen carpenters, stonemasons, and bricklayers in this area combined, but there are only three people who can strike iron, and there seem to be only three in Suining City, and a few in Pizhou City, most of which still belong to the Ordnance Bureau.

There is not a single person who can mine and make iron.

Without these craftsmen, all his ideas would have been empty, and the wheels of his ten shield carts would have been empty.

It is not as difficult to find these professionals in this era, which is full of skilled workers.

Yang He plans to build a small reservoir in the southwest of Zhuang, which is used to set up hydraulic drilling machines, forging machines, and stamping machines, but this involves a series of spare parts such as gears, bearing shafts, transmissions, springs, etc., without the smelting workshop, everything is empty.

Yang He plans to build a lathe, which is possible, after all, Yang He spent more than 1,000 taels of silver to buy 200 catties of Sugang from the big-breasted girl.

With these high-quality tool steels, it is feasible to manufacture lathes that rely on manual labor.

There are many complicated affairs, the first step is to find workers first, if you only rely on the three blacksmiths of the Zhang Zhugong brothers, everything is too far away.

After thinking about it, Yang He decided to accept the position of Sui Ning Lian Zong, but if he has an official position in the future, he is afraid that he will not be so free.

Yang He plans to go to the Ordnance Bureau to see if he can poach people, Pizhou will be the main supply place for materials in the future, and the canal will also be the main source of money in the next few years, and Yang He plans to go to these places to see for himself.

On the sixth day of November in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang He, accompanied by Han Daxia, Chen Qiuao, Hu Chengcheng, Zeng Youyu, and Zhang Songtao, rode a horse and left Xin'anzhuang.

The vicinity of Xin'anzhuang is a bustling scene, where the villagers collect nitrate in the wilderness fields and refine gunpowder, which is the only thing Yang He can do at the moment.

For the time being, Yanghe does not want to pay money and materials for each village, but must pay a certain amount of nitrate, and the rest can be calculated according to the burden, so the villages are very enthusiastic, men, women and children, all go to the saline-alkali land to collect nitrate.

There are also some simple gate houses being set up along the official road of the inspection department, and this side will become a bazaar in the future.

The carpenters and bricklayers recruited from each village are busy working, and the nearby villagers are crowded to watch, and there are children chasing and laughing.

Everything is full of life.

Yang He smiled slightly, this is my home.

In the future, I will build this place even better.

Hearing that Yang Xianggong was going to Pizhou, Deng inspected a letter at the moment and handed it to Liu Kedi, the fat soap next to him, and asked him to follow and bring the letter to the two younger brothers of Pizhou Yamen, so that Yang Xianggong and his party felt convenient in Pizhou City.

After inspecting Deng, Yang He urged the horses, and soon they rode six steps and disappeared into the distant official road.

Old White Cow: The second volume is over, please look forward to the third volume, who is in the way of thieves everywhere.

Yang He's stand-alone machine is over, and it has entered the stage of interactive development, and soon it will usher in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, a very critical year. (To be continued.) )
