Chapter 22 The harvest is abundant
More than 600 soldiers in the middle of the force were all wiped out by Luo Xiong's forces, and when they knew that Luo Xiong's army was coming to fight, the Bunu people fled from the defeat, and the soldiers who had been left behind panicked.
Said one by one, what to do, what to do, more than 600 people, only a few dozen people came back in the end, and now the total strength of the entire force is less than 300, how to fight this battle, the people who have no choice can only send people to Lu Ge who is still on the way back to ask for help.
When Huang Doi, Luo Ba, with 350 sergeants, thousands of villagers and many horses, and more than 40 family members who had come to bring their families and nine other family members to join the national army, came to the edge of Lu Ge's power, and some of the Bunu soldiers had already found out and returned to report it.
The soldiers who went back to report were frightened by the fact that Luo Xiong's forces had easily destroyed their more than 600 sergeants, and they did not look carefully, so they hurried back to report and mistook those villagers for sergeants.
The general under Lu Ge, who gathered all the soldiers in the Bunu clan's forces, opened his mouth wide, and said for a long time: "More than a thousand, more than a thousand.........
I was afraid that I still didn't believe it, so I sent someone to investigate again, but this time the people who went were even more unbearable, and when I saw the sergeant of the national army walking in front, I hurriedly looked at the back of the team, turned around and ran.
As a result, there is not much difference from the previous reports, the news that Luo Xiong's forces have more than a thousand troops coming to crusade quickly spread, and the Bunu generals who originally wanted to rely on more than 200 people to stick to the outermost Panteng Village of the force were so frightened that they hurriedly notified the villagers to flee, and they even took their subordinates and fled to the center of the force with their lives.
When the national army entered Panteng Village, it was a little funny, there were no soldiers to stop it at all, there were fleeing villagers everywhere, all of them had already run away, and those who didn't run away were either old and frail and couldn't run at all, or there were women and children at home, and some were directly numb and didn't want to run, anyway, they were almost the same there, helping others farm, and getting a little bit of food that was not enough for half a year.
Luo Ba, Huang Yi began to lead people to surround these fleeing villagers, this time they followed the prisoners of the Bunu tribe, and hurried to persuade the villagers that Panhu was from Panteng Village.
However, their persuasion effect is there, but not too much, the villagers are half-convinced, but Luo Ba and other sergeants can't wait, they come here to grab the population and food, but they are not persuaded to surrender, and if they want to persuade them, they will also rush back, so that the civil officials can persuade them slowly.
Time waits for no one! If you delay for a while, you will grab a lot of less supplies, and no one knows when Lu Ge will rush back, so you must hurry up, and Luo Ba directly ordered people to drive these villagers back to the center of Panteng Village.
Luo Ba simply shouted the slogan of the national army several times, everyone is equal, everyone has food, everyone has land, etc., and some of the slogans that Luo Yi said and had people paste in the villages within the national forces.
After Luo Ba shouted, he directly left a platoon of men to guard the villagers here, he and Huang Yi rushed to the nearest villages to help the villagers of the ethnic forces, and under the leadership of a few sergeants, they went door to door to carry all kinds of materials, and most of the money was taken away by the escapees.
The family is here to persuade the people of his own family, so he takes the people of his own family to persuade his relatives, not how much he wants to help the national army, nor how much he wants to think about the villagers of his own village.
But when they came, the two old men Huang He and Wang Kuo said that those who persuade the people to join for the national forces, with a population of more than 500, can be village officials if they are educated, those who are not educated can be village heads, and those who want to join the army are counted as first-class soldiers.
Those who are persuaded to join the population of more than 1,000 people, the position of village officials and village chiefs remains unchanged, and those who want to join the village guards of the Ministry of Public Security can be the commander of the village guards, and those who want to join the army will be given the rank of corporal.
And when the two old men were talking to these captives, they also told them about the monthly salary, the size of their authority, and their responsibilities for each position, so now the captives are thinking about themselves.
Panhu thinks that such a good thing is no different from a copper coin falling from the sky, and everyone who joins the national army has their own land, and it is not difficult to persuade people to join.
And Huang He, Wang Kuo, these officials in order to manage these well in the future, the newly moved villagers, all hope that it is best to join voluntarily, so even if it is the villagers controlled by Luo Ba and them, Panhu and other captives persuaded to join, so every captive worked hard to persuade people to join.
In the barracks of the Second Army of Tiger Mountain, Luo Yi was discussing with Huang Jing, who came to discuss the new money, in the study, discussing how much money should be invested in the small market of the national army.
Those who join the army and engage in politics, everyone has a slogan of two months, and if it is not distributed, sergeants, officials, and government officials will be dissatisfied.
These are not trivial matters, one is not handled well, and the new money that has not yet been launched may die, and in the end, the two decided to invest 150,000 yuan in new money according to the price of goods within the national forces.
The personnel of the various ministries will distribute the money as soon as possible, and the coins of the Great Song Dynasty can still be circulated at the time, but the period is only one month, and the villagers who hold the Song money should exchange it as soon as possible.
After the discussion, Huang Xun called the entourage and hurriedly pulled the 150,000 new money back to Shuanglong Town, and said to Luo Yi in distress: "Brother Luo Xian! There's not enough manpower! The Ministry of Finance is now simply not in a position to get things done within the deadline. ”
Luo Yi didn't know why Huang Jing sighed, there was not enough manpower, even if more than 1,000 villagers were dispatched to Lu Ge's forces to help carry materials, there should be a lot of people in the forces who could be drawn out to help, and said with a question: "No, Second Brother Huang, even if Uncle Ba and they took away a lot of villagers, they can still be found if they can arrange errands, right?" ”
"Brother Xian misunderstood, I'm talking about scholars."
"It's not just that there are not enough readers in our Ministry of Commerce, but this is also the case in all ministries, because everything in our power has to be registered, so the readers in all ministries are writing almost every day.
Let's take the household registration department as an example, the household registration book, the land deed, and the list of conscripts must all be written and registered, and there are only a few literate people, where is enough. ”
Luo Yi seemed to understand something, but he still wanted to confirm his guess, and immediately said: "A lot of words are necessary for the regular government, just rubbing?" ”
Huang Xun is helpless, Luo Yi, the young master of the national army, really doesn't control money, he doesn't know the poverty of power, how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources will cost a set of rubbing.
"Virtuous brother! No, all the ministries have already mentioned it to my father, but I rejected it, this rubbing, are all dead words, if each ministry does a set of their rubbing, the cost is not something that the force can bear. ”
Luo Yi knows, could it be that Bi Sheng's movable type printing has not yet been transmitted here, or Bi Sheng has not yet invented it, whether he has it or not, now that the forces need it, just do it yourself.
"Second Brother Huang, don't worry, after you go back, ask me from the household registration department for a few craftsmen who are carving military plates and identity cards, and then invite Wang Lao to come over, and I will make a set of movable type rubbings for you, and any words are reusable."
"Is there really such a rubbing?"
"I don't think I did, right?"
"Haha, Brother Xian is really proficient in everything! Then I'll go first, I'll send the craftsmen, my eldest brother and they, it's estimated that they will bring the second group of people today, and there are many things. ”
"Okay, I won't send Second Brother Huang anymore"
As soon as Huang Xun left, a medical soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "Lu Feng is awake and clamoring to see Colonel Luo Xiong." ”
Luo Yi is strange, how does it feel strange today, didn't Lu Feng wake up yesterday, and he didn't say he wanted to see Daddy yesterday, it's strange.
After asking the reason, Luo Yi learned that it was the Bunu sergeants who were originally captives, and after their families were moved into the national army, they were allowed to move freely in the second army barracks, but they were not allowed to go out of the camp.
I don't know where they heard about it, the strategy formulated by Wang Kuo and Huang He, persuading people to join the national army can get many benefits, and these can't be like the prisoners who went with the army, they have the opportunity to persuade more people to join Lu Ge's forces, so they pay attention to Lu Feng.
In their minds, Lu Feng is the upper echelon of the Bunu forces, if they can persuade him to join the national forces, then the credit will definitely not be smaller than persuading thousands of people to join, and the treatment he gets will be better.
Their idea is good, if they succeed, Luo Yi is really likely to give them some good treatment, but who is Lu Feng, he is Lu Ge's younger brother, although his ability is not good, but if he wants to fight against his eldest brother, can he not go crazy.
Besides, Lu Feng is a master in the Bunu tribe, what he wants, where will he care about joining the national forces, what conditions are forty acres of land, Lu Feng will be able to see it, he has thousands of acres of land in the Bunu forces.
Luo Yi didn't want to see Lu Feng, he didn't feel the need for this, in his opinion, Lu Feng was just a chess piece to deal with Lu Ge, and he couldn't compare to an ordinary villager in the Bunu clan.
Lu Ge's position of commander was passed on to him by his father, so Lu Feng, who had grown up under the care of his father and eldest brother since he was a child, would not really want to join the national army, unless he was so strong that he felt desperate.
With the passage of time, Wang Kuo and the old man Huang He formulated a strategy, and finally broke out, maybe they didn't expect that there would be such an amazing effect, every time Huang Kuo brought back supplies, the population was increasing, and the role of those captives who followed the army was finally revealed.
At first, not many people believed their persuasion, but as they persuaded their family members, relatives, and then except for the old and weak women and children who followed the Huang Yi army to return to the national army, the remaining young and strong went everywhere to persuade their relatives, and more and more people joined, after all, none of them were oppressed and exploited.
Luo Yi knew that this was a pyramid scheme, or a plague, which swept most of Lu Ge's forces, if it weren't for the beneficiaries in Lu Ge's forces and organizing a large number of young people to resist, Lu Ge would also rush back, and this trend would probably directly destroy Lu Ge's forces.
This robbery of Lu Ge's forces, from the beginning to the end of the four days, it is not that I don't want to rob again, but the sergeant of the Second Army who monitored Lu Ge came to report, Lu Ge can rush back to the forces in the evening at most, Luo Ba, who received the news, Huang Yi did not delay, and rushed back with the last batch of materials and population.
Seeing that the personnel of the Ministry of Finance, under the leadership of Huang Jing, received all kinds of materials, classified, counted, and registered them in the warehouse, Luo Yi took a rough look at the 10,000 quintals of grain that had been registered, and there were also a lot of pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, and almost all of them could be moved back.
However, Luo Yi doesn't care much about these, what he cares about most is the population, in the eyes of others, in this era, people may be the least valuable, but in Luo Yi's opinion, people are precisely the most valuable, especially the current national forces.
As long as there is a population, everything else can be thought of, when there is a shortage of food, you can buy and change it, you can build it yourself if you lack weapons, and there is no shortage of money, because money is a thing that is defined by people, and the ruler says that a stone is money, then it is money.
So I hurriedly took a look at the situation on the side of the Ministry of Finance, and rushed to the office of the Ministry of Household Registration, which had been built.
When the officials of the household registration department saw Luo Yi coming, they hurriedly introduced the latest situation one by one, although Luo Yi is a military officer rather than a government official, and his military rank is not high, neither the military nor the official will talk about this kind of thing.
This is not because of Luo Xiong, but because the current situation of the national army is from Luo Yi, and everyone thinks that without Luo Yi, there will be no current national forces.
Wang Yong, head of the household registration department, said excitedly: "The first three batches of 1,862 people are also assigned to the village officials for resettlement, and they will be settled in Adou Village, Maomao Chong, and Muddy Green Three Villages, Shuanglong Town can only leave 500 people, and there will be no land and acres to distribute."
This last batch has not been fully counted, but the number of people who have been hastily counted should be more than 700 people, but it is not easy to settle. ”
"Uncle Wang, is there something wrong? How can it be difficult to settle? ”
"Alas! According to the village officials of each village, there are still some gaps in the distribution of Tian Mu to the first three batches of relocated population, and they have already counted all the fields around the military fortress, and now if they join the population, Tian Mu is not enough at all! ”
Luo Yi knows, acres of land is indeed a big problem, it is said that everyone has land, it is not okay to divide it, it is not that there are no acres, but it is too far away from the military jam, not that the villagers are too far, but that the villagers dare not plant at all, because those fields cannot be protected by the army at all, it can be said that these fields are not national forces now.
Alas! No, there are still fields to divide, and isn't it safe to go to the area of Liuduxin Village? Although it can't be said to be a field, it is still a barren mountain and a wild mountain, but isn't this how Liuduxin Village was established?
Thinking of this, Luo Yi immediately said: "Uncle Wang, in fact, we still have land to divide, although the power stipulates that some alpine forests are not allowed to be cut down indiscriminately, nor can they be cultivated for farming, and when allocating acres of land for this purpose, each person is also allocated five acres of volcanic forests that can be burned with firewood."
But some low-slope barren forests can still be allocated, these places can be used to reclaim mountains, terraced fields, although not considered high-quality acres, but each person can be divided into ten acres, the villagers should still be willing. ”
"Oops! Virtuous nephew, these around Sizhai have not been cultivated and broken, they have been calculated, no, in the past, the acres of land around us were divided, and no one wanted it. ”
Luo Yi knew that the old man might have been too busy recently, but he didn't expect it, so he said directly: "Liuduxin Village is two days away from our villages, why don't we build another village in this distance?"
In this way, these people are settled, and it can also better link Liuduxin Village, the key is that these places are safe, and I think the villagers will definitely be willing. ”
"That's right! When people are old, their heads are not bright, this is a good idea, and when we have a meeting tomorrow, we will discuss it with Mayor Huang and Colonel Luo, thank you for mentioning it. ”
"Uncle Wang is polite, it's because you've been too busy lately, or you thought about it earlier, the kid won't bother your old office, go first, and meet tomorrow."
