Finally on this night, the reward silver was finally distributed to Xiao Yi's hand, and Xiao Yi looked at the reward in his hand. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info smiled helplessly, a total of nearly five hundred and two hundred taels of silver, and there were so many layers of deductions, only three hundred and sixty taels in hand, plus the twenty taels left by himself before, Xiao Yi still had three hundred and eighty taels of silver in his hand.

That night, Xiao Yi called all his subordinates who participated in the battle.

Xiao Yi said, "Everyone has contributed a lot, and I, Xiao Yi, am not a stingy person." Now that the reward has come down, there are three hundred and sixty taels, everyone is following me Xiao Yi with their heads to kill thieves, how can I treat everyone badly, but now I Xiao Yi don't have too much silver, just give everyone three taels of silver, and I can't let everyone get nothing! ”

Shi Gang and the others then opened the wooden box containing the silver taels, distributed the silver taels to each person, and each of them received the heavy silver taels. Liu Sheng took the silver from Shi Gang's hand, but he felt that it was as heavy as Mount Tai, Liu Sheng suddenly threw the silver taels on the ground, "I don't want it!" ”

Shi Gang came over and yelled angrily, "What are you kid doing? Do not give to another brother, and do not spoil the money that the brothers have given their lives for. ”

Liu Sheng actually knelt on the ground, "My lord! My Liu Sheng's family was killed by the Tartars, and now I am left alone, only by following the time of the adult, I found my true self, I followed the adult not for the silver, but just to avenge the family! Kill the Tartars! ”

When Shi Gang heard this, he was about to dissuade him, and several people also threw the silver on the ground, and one said: "I, He Zhendong, am also alone, and now this Yong'an Fort is my home, and everything in the fort has just begun. ”

The rest of the people half-knelt on the ground together: "Yes! The adults provide us with food every day, and take everyone from Jingshi to here, this is the most critical time, how can we ask for these silver taels! I won't ask for it. ”

"The first time I killed a Tartar in my life was to follow the adult, and I was also alone, and I returned the silver to the adult!"

Everyone knelt on the ground with Li Sheng, and they all wanted to return the silver taels to Xiao Yi. Li Sheng was at the front, and said a little excitedly, "My lord, you can accept it, these can be regarded as brothers repaying the kindness of adults!" ”

Shi Gang no longer dissuaded, but looked at Xiao Yi helplessly. Shi Lu's eyes were a little moist, over the years, he had seen only one Ming general who could unite his subordinates here, and that was Xiao Yi. Immediately, like Huang Yang and the others, he looked at the half-kneeling subordinates below, at a loss, a little moved, and a little surprised.

Xiao Yi was moved, Xiao Yi didn't feel any kindness to them, but he didn't know what everyone thought. In his previous life, he was very envious of those brothers who lived and died on TV, and now that he finally has these brothers who share life and death with him, how can he not be happy, Xiao Yi hugged his fists at everyone, "Everyone believes in me Xiao Yi so much, I will definitely use this money where I need it most, and Yong'an Fort will last forever!" ”

"Forever Everlasting Castle!" Everyone shouted along.

While everyone was sleeping, Xiao Yi found Dr. Qin's shack, got in, and found that Dr. Qin was writing something on the small wooden table. Xiao Yi said slightly apologetically, "This place is so simple, and I hope Doctor Qin won't blame it." ”

Doctor Qin put down the brush and hurriedly waved his hand, "The old man has long heard about the deeds of Xiao Zongqi, and he defended the Beijing division with Lord Lu, and now he has built his own tunbao to annihilate the horse thief and draw the horseman, he is really a fierce man." ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "Xiao Yi is just doing his best when this country is in danger, it's nothing." Physician Qin continued, "If you are not mistaken, I am afraid that there is no doctor in the Tun Fort, right?" ”

Xiao Yi nodded again and again, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, Tunpu is in ruins now, I thought it would be enough to drink porridge for everyone, but today I heard what the doctor said and felt that it was really wrong." Then, Xiao Yi looked at Doctor Qin with burning eyes, "I wonder if Xiao Yi can be worthy of the doctor's help?" ”

Doctor Qin waved his hand, "You don't have to call me Doctor Qin, just call me Old Qin, Yong'an Fort is at the time of employing people, how can I, Qin Zhi, leave like this?" "Bring the paper on the table, "My lord, please see, I have observed everyone's complexion and the symptoms of the brother who fainted today, if you buy some coarse grains and meat according to this list, and let experienced people make food, you can recuperate in a few days!" ”

Xiao Yi was overjoyed, holding Qin Zhi's hand, feeling a little rough, and said happily: "That old Qin, it's really good to be like this." In the future, the big guy in Tunpu will be bothered by you in terms of food and treatment. Qin Zhi: "These are things that are within the division, adults don't need to mention more, the old man naturally understands." ”

Xiao Yi withdrew from Qin Zhi's shack, looking at the people who were still living in the shack, he felt even more sorry for these people and wanted to start building it immediately.

On the second day, Xiao also asked Wang Dayong to take An Keping to Changning Town to buy a horse to Changning Town, and bought ten stones of coarse grain rice and noodles, and some beef and mutton. It cost more than eighty taels of silver. After coming back, he quickly asked He Ping to take the women to cook some food, add some pieces of meat, everyone heard that they were going to improve the food today, and they were all hungry, and several children were gathered in front of the cauldron and looked straight at it, and they couldn't drive it away.

Then the meal was ready, and everyone hurriedly scrambled to share the food, and the sound of clanging resounded throughout the Tunpu. It added some vitality to Tunpu.

Shi Gang lay on the ground with a big belly, showing a satisfied smile, "It's still okay for Lao Qin, I haven't eaten so full for a long time." Liu Sheng lay down, touched his stomach, and burped contentedly, "Will you get fat if you eat like this every day, Brother Shi." ”

Shi Gang laughed, "Follow the adults, you will eat fat!" ”

Liu Sheng laughed along: "I believe this, haha!" ”

Later, Xiao Yi took Huang Yang and them to Changning Town to ask for a meeting with Wang Changliang of the management team, asking for miscellaneous things such as grain, rice, ploughing cattle, and flat shoulders.

Wang Changliang also looked embarrassed when he heard this, in recent years, the guards of Tunpu and Dunbao in various places have reported emergencies, and population loss and shortage of grain and rice are also common problems in all places, and he also has difficulties. So he said to Xiao Yi embarrassed, "Xiao Yi, my brother is also in trouble, I can only give you some support as much as I can, as for the rest, I still need my brother to figure it out by yourself." ”

Then he called his captain and took Xiao Yi to the warehouse to receive grain, rice and other things.

In the end, I just asked for five stones of grain and rice, five ploughing oxen, flat poles, spear inserts and a lot of other things. Although it is very small, Xiao Yi also understands the situation of Wei Mi in various states at this time, and it is not easy for Wang Changliang to squeeze these out for himself. Saying goodbye to Wang Changliang and leaving Changning Town, Xiao Yi wanted to recruit some more households.

The most difficult thing about building a fort is not the construction, but the population problem. Xiao Yi is located here under the banner of Datong Ulzhou City Left Guard. Since the Wanli period, the population of Ulju City has not exceeded 1,000 households, and the maximum is 5,000 or 6,000.

Since the establishment of the Datong Left Guard, the population has reached more than 8,000 military households in history, and the population exceeded 10,000 at the maximum. But by the time of Jiajing, the population had plummeted to less than 5,000 households, and now I don't know how many are left. After years of military disasters and thieves' captives, coupled with continuous tax deductions, there are more and more displaced people.

It's not easy to recruit these locals, and you don't want them to follow you without a certain benefit. And the largest number of displaced people are also difficult to recruit, and recruiting these displaced people is skillful. Xiao Yi saw from the people of An Keping's mother and son that what the people needed was actually just a hereditary land and a place to protect their peace.

Xiao Yi thought about it and took most of the people back to the castle first, leaving Shi Lu and a few people to stay to see what they had gained. The group walked to the front of Yong'an Fort, looking at the tall city wall, Xiao Yi was full of pride in his heart, this is the real beginning.
