After Luo Tianwu and the others left, Xiang Luyang went down to the secret passage to take a look at the Yi brothers and Feng Daoran, and after getting acquainted with the situation, Xiang Luyang returned to the ring.

At this time, the registration work has been carried out almost completely, this time, a total of more than 7,000 people have been left, plus the replenishment of the city defense army in the past few days, Xiang Luyang's current mobilization of men and horses has reached 8,000 people.

Looking at Ye Qiushui, who was smiling while counting the numbers, Xiang Luyang asked puzzledly, "What are you enjoying there?" ”

Ye Qiushui said: "Of course there is a good thing, I will go back and tell you later." ”

When a few people had arranged everything, it was already completely dark, and after arranging the night sentry and the patrolling soldiers, Xiang Luyang, Ye Qiushui, Zhou Tiezhu, and Shen Aotian returned to Zhouya one after another.

When Shen Aotian came in, Xiang Luyang and the three of them had already prepared the wine and food, everyone had been busy guarding the city these days, and they had never had a good meal, although today, it was a little late, but everyone's interest was very strong.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Qiushui said to Xiang Luyang: "Didn't you just ask me what I was laughing at?" I'll tell you now, and you'll sit still. ”

Xiang Luyang said: "The gods are mysterious, don't sell it, hurry up and say, after we finish drinking, I'm starving to death!" ”

Ye Qiushui took out a stack of papers from his arms, cleared his throat and said: "In this battle, we have collected a total of 7,325 people from the Haisha Gang, seized all kinds of weapons, more than 14,100 pieces, 20 large siege equipment, 2,130 war horses, 31,000 taels of silver, 90,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver tickets, and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and jewelry, the value is still being counted. ”

Xiang Luyang interrupted Ye Qiushui's words and said, "You wait first, I don't understand what it means?" ”

Ye Qiushui said: "What don't you understand?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "What is the concept of 90,000 taels of gold? ”

Ye Qiushui said: "Let me tell you this, this money is equivalent to the tax burden of Dengzhou for ten years, that is to say, we don't eat and don't use it, just by collecting taxes, we can collect this amount in ten years." ”

Xiang Luyang gasped and said, "So we are rich now?" ”

Ye Qiushui said: "It's a very rich person, if those gold and silver jewelry are priced, it is estimated that the value will not be less than gold." ”

Shen Aotian said: "No wonder so many people like to fight, it turns out that this business is so profitable?" ”

Zhou Tiezhu said: "The people of this Haisha Gang are really weird, they are here to attack the city, what are they doing with so much money?" Do they think they can use money to smash open the gates of Dengzhou City? ”

Ye Qiushui said: "They didn't bring so much money to attack the city, they just wanted to move, if Dengzhou City was captured by them this time, this place would become the headquarters of the Haisha Gang." ”

Zhou Tiezhu said: "This Hai Lie is really anxious enough, bring all his belongings and attack the city again, where does he have confidence!" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "Actually, Hai Lie's approach is not wrong, you think, according to the original staffing and equipment supply situation, the two sides are not of the same level at all, this kind of battle with a huge difference in strength, our chance of victory is very small, so there is nothing wrong with Hai Lie doing this." ”

Shen Aotian said: "Yes, if it weren't for the desperate support of the people of Dengzhou, and the Wanghailou of the Long family as a surprise soldier, we would have almost no chance of winning this battle." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "Yes, this battle is thanks to the support of the people of Dengzhou. ”

Xiang Luyang said: "In the next step, I plan to exempt Dengzhou City from taxes for three years to support the economic development of Dengzhou. ”

Ye Qiushui said: "I agree, only when the people live a good life, we will be supported by them." ”

Shen Aotian said: "Although I don't quite understand what you said, it is indeed a good thing to let ordinary people live a good life!" ”

This meal was eaten until dawn, and everyone hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, so I was presumptuous today.

When Xiang Luyang got up at noon, Ye Qiushui had already started to get busy, after all, there were more than 7,000 people at this time, and all the food and accommodation had to be arranged anew.

Shen Aotian is now mainly responsible for the militia group, and Zhou Tiezhu manages the city defense army, because Shen Aotian has no experience in large-scale system management, so his militia is also carried out in accordance with the management model of Zhou Tiezhu's army.

The 6,000-strong militia group, Zhou Tiezhu helped Shen Aotian build a reorganized division, under the jurisdiction of four regiments, each regiment of 1,500 people, although the number of this division is a bit small, but Zhou Tiezhu is still relatively satisfied.

Zhou Tiezhu's city defense battalion has now expanded to more than 2,000 people, and now the city defense battalion has become a regiment-level organization, and Zhou Tiezhu himself has made himself a regiment commander.

According to the army's structure and hierarchical management, Ye Qiushui arranged the construction of barracks and training facilities outside the city, there are people and money, these things are very simple to operate, it didn't take ten days, and the slogans of training could already be heard on the training ground.

The training sites of the city defense battalion and the militia are all the same, and the training content is the same, except for the difference in clothing, everything else is the same.

Zhou Tiezhu was in charge of regular military training, Shen Aotian was in charge of martial arts training, and Ye Qiushui was training in arranging troops.

The three of them were busy over there, Xiang Luyang was not idle here, he had already begun to develop Dengzhou's economy, there was no money in the army, so he couldn't go far, Xiang Luyang was still very clear in his heart.

In the past ten days, I have visited all the big and small transactions in Dengzhou City, learned in detail about the business situation of these people, and made a detailed understanding of the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou City, including the crops planted on the land, how many times a year can be planted, what are the main economic sources, and what are the special products around, and have done a very detailed investigation.

After summarizing the numbers in his hand, Xiang Luyang began to work on the next step.

First of all, Xiang Luyang extended the three-year tax exemption policy from the city to the countryside, and integrated some small businesses on the verge of bankruptcy in the city.

Not only that, Xiang Luyang also opened a dart bureau in the most prominent position in the city, in the name of the government, next to the dart bureau is a free trading market, Xiang Luyang ordered people to walk the news of the opening of this market to all parts of Shandong, where all the traded products, no matter how high or low, are exempt from transaction tax within three years.

Once the news came out, the whole Shandong was a sensation, traders from all over the country rushed here, not for anything else, the transaction tax saved, it was enough for them to go back and forth freight, if you can be in Dengzhou locally, the goods will be sold, as long as you pay one-way freight, you can do it, how to calculate the business is worth it.
