Chapter 698: The New Island Master

When he returned home, Uncle Wang had just returned from the field to rest at home, so Li Yang told Uncle Wang his thoughts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that Uncle Wang only thought for a moment, and then said: "I believe that the adults are doing great things, and there are still some disaster relief food that has been saved over the years in the village, and if the other elders agree, they can take it out and use it." “

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Wang, I have news to tell me." After speaking, Li Yang hurriedly ran back to the training ground.

A day's training passed in a busy and fulfilling way, and Li Yang, who returned home, got the good news from Wang Lao, not only the elders, but also the people in the village supported Li Yang's decision to embezzle the disaster relief food first.

In the later training, everyone who got the extra food trained harder, although they were puzzled by Li Yang's lack of training in the art of swords, guns and stabbing and a training queue, but the improvement of the team's mental outlook in the past few days is still obvious to all.

"Today we begin basic combat training!" Li Yang loudly announced that there is no problem with the current team, and in this era, you can't have to ask the soldiers to walk left and right in unison, the rhythm of the steps can be correct, the formation is not scattered, and the goal has been achieved.

Before starting combat training, Li Yang had gathered several blacksmiths in the village and made a small transformation of everyone's weapons: there was no shortage of bamboo poles in the fishing village, and there were more than 100 bamboo poles with thick wrists, which were more than 14 feet long, and the top of the bamboo poles was sharpened and wrapped with iron heads.

The knives and bows have also been modified accordingly, at least not too personalized, and at the same time, the knife hands are equipped with wooden shields, which are as suitable as possible for hand-to-hand combat. During combat training, because there was no excellent marksmanship teacher, those fancy and impractical gun moves were abandoned, and the medieval gun formation was by no means won by individual ability, but really needed to rely on team combat. Everyone formed an array, holding spears more than four meters long, killing in a row, with companions on the left and right to take care of them, and the enemy in front was absolutely invincible.

It's a pity that there are no cavalry that can roam the flanks now, waiting for the opportunity to move, so they can only arrange the sword and shield men on the flanks for protection, and the archers are all left behind the array, and the mini formation of more than 200 people can be regarded as formed.

Three platoons of spearmen were in the center, one platoon of sword and shield bearers to the left and right, and two platoons of archers in the back.

As a result, the drill formation for several days in a row, under the slogans and coordination of the platoon commanders' slogans of "stabbing", "entering" and "stopping", the operation of the entire contingent became more and more smooth.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the greatly improved fishing efficiency that liberated these people, it would not have been possible to become full-time trained soldiers, and you must know that in this era, the army that can train full-time is all like a giant beast that eats human flesh and blood.

Soon after, Li Yang used this army to sweep away Miyako Island, overthrow the original ruler, and he became the new owner of the island.

All the weapons of the soldiers of the former island owner were confiscated overnight, and Li Yang also held a banquet to invite all the old generals.

A table of drunkenness made the guests and hosts happy, Li Yang also used the excuse that everyone was drunk and left everyone for the night, although the intention of harming people is not to be there, but the heart of guarding against people is also indispensable, and controlling these people first After all, there is less chance of chaos.

Li Yang, who returned to the backyard, was taken to a small room without stopping, and several platoon commanders had already gathered inside.

"My lord, oh no, my lord, this is the gold and silver that have been collected in various parts of the palace."

Li Yang looked at the two large boxes in front of him, it seemed that although some of the belongings had been transferred, there were still a lot left, and the gold, silver, pearls, and coral in them were all shining together, and they were still a little dazzling under the light of the fire.

"I have already ordered, there are one hundred and fifty taels of gold, one thousand one hundred and thirty taels of silver, one hundred and twenty-three night pearls and pearls, two corals, fifteen catties of jade, and many other handicrafts."

"Haha, a bumper harvest, take out one percent as a reward and send it down, Li Wen, you organize people to discuss it, and the rest will be included in the military treasury as military expenses, after all, you can't always eat the food of the villagers for disaster preparedness!"

"I guess they won't need food for disaster preparedness in the future." The people below were joking lightly.

Since the treasury was still relatively large for Li Yang and the others, it was temporarily protected and no one was sent to count it.

On the second day, before dawn, Li Yang woke up, walked out of the room, and found that there were two soldiers standing guard for him at the door.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Li Yang asked curiously.

"The times are different now, and the platoon commander told him that someone must protect the island owner at all times." The two warriors said in unison.

Li Yang suddenly felt a warmth flowing in his heart, it seems that he is not fighting alone, don't think that he can do everything well if he has advanced concepts, after all, there are still places that he can't think of.

After instructing one of the soldiers to call all the team and squad leaders to the main hall for a meeting, Li Yang took the lead in entering the main hall and continued to think. Li Yang left the platoon commanders of the two infantry platoons and ordered to call Wang Bao, who had entered the city yesterday.

After Wang Bao came, Li Yang instructed him to lead a team to count the number of materials in the treasury as soon as possible, find an account clerk to record it, seal the entire treasury first, and then take over the tax work, and he had to touch the specific affairs slowly.

After everyone dispersed, Li Yang rubbed his forehead, headache, there are so many things, no matter what era it is, there is such a shortage of talents, and he has to think about some candidates to fill the gap in the city.

One order after another was issued, and the former elders of the fishing village became treasurers, and more than a certain amount of money required the mutual consent of the treasurer and the owner of the island; Wang Bao became the new tax officer; Each of the four largest villages and fishing villages in the vicinity sent a representative to become civil judges, and all territorial disputes could be referred to the civil judges for adjudication.

The grass platform team was hastily formed, and the new political structure and purpose were also announced to the various villages in the territory, although the response was muted, but it was also expected, after all, it was a loose city-state, and the control of the island owner was also stronger in the city back then.

Some other policies have caused a relatively large reaction: entering and exiting the city gate no longer pay the poll tax, which is a relatively large innovation, after all, it is not easy to collect taxes in ancient times, and it is the best way to collect taxes by setting up cards at the city gate to collect taxes according to the heads of people entering and exiting, but at this time the owner of the island wants to cancel this tax, which makes everyone very puzzled, and many villagers in the fishing village have also persuaded Li Yang.

Li Yang explained the problem with just a few rhetorical questions: "How often did you enter the city to trade before?" Half a month? Now you don't have to pay money to enter the city, as soon as you have more goods, some people will go into the city to trade if they have time? It used to be a big gathering that only happened once every three days, but now it's every day? Then everyone knows that there is a market in the city every day, will everyone choose to trade here? ”

Everyone is convinced, it seems that the owner of the island is preparing to fatten the chickens and kill them!

A few days passed quickly, and the residents of Miyako Island gradually got used to such a new owner of a different race, and everything slowly calmed down.
