Wang Jian's run was obviously a little embarrassed, and he should not have been fully prepared in advance. He and his family took away the fine softness, but there were quite a few things that could not be taken away. In the huge Red Mansion, in addition to real estate, there are really a lot of other valuable assets.

For example, more than 5,000 koku of grain. For example, there are more than 500 pieces of precious calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, lacquerware, wood carvings, ivory carvings, root carvings, mahogany furniture, and so on. For example, more than 3,000 horses of silk silk, cotton, linen, kudzu cloth, and the like. And so on.

Sadly, there was no silver or gold. Gold, silver, jewelry, etc., can be carried with you at any time, and naturally will not be left behind. It can be imagined that when he escaped, Wang Jian must have distributed those gold and silver ingots to his family and family members and took them away. However, food, cloth and other materials could not be carried with them, so they had to be left behind.

Zhang Zhun suddenly found that he was the first to do it to Lingshanwei, which seemed to be right.

At the very least, Zhao Yinying, the commander of Aoshanwei, is not in Aoshanwei, and the valuable materials are all on the side of Qingzhou Mansion. Aoshanwei was patronized by the Tartars of Tianheng Island many times and looted, even if he conquered Aoshanwei himself, I am afraid that he would not be able to capture too many supplies. But Lingshanwei is different, Lingshanwei's officers, big and small, all the assets are in the Lingshan Acropolis. Just from Wang Jian's lair, so many materials were copied out. The homes of the other officers have not yet been liquidated. If you count them all, I believe it will definitely be a satisfactory number. There are a lot of big fish caught in this net!

The military households of Lingshanwei also have an advantage in their indifference, that is, there is no robbery. If it had been changed to Aoshanwei, there would have been countless people who had launched a robbery. Zhang Lingyun's team of fifty people is not enough to see at all. Once the looting gets out of control, all the supplies will disappear without a trace.

Zhang Lingyun turned out a large number of land deeds.

Good guy, Wang Jian alone has more than 25,000 acres of fertile land, and I believe that the land of other officers will definitely not be less. According to the information previously available, Lingshanwei's field does not exceed 200,000 mu at most. One-tenth of the fields are in the hands of Wang Jian. The biggest landlord in Laizhou Mansion should be him. However, this is also to be expected. If it weren't so outrageous, would the guard system be completely abandoned? The Wei commanders of Aoshanwei and Laizhouwei should also have similar fields.

Zhang Lingyun continued to take stock of the assets of other officers.

Soon, all kinds of supplies found from the homes of other officers were also gathered. Gold and silver or something, negligible. Gold and silver are soft and soft, and they are basically taken away. The largest seizures by the convoy continued to be food and cloth. The total amount of grain seized was more than 10,000 stones, and more than 5,000 pieces of cloth of all kinds. By any measure, it's a staggering number.

Of course, it is not surprising that for an Acropolis there is such a reserve of materiel. After all, the Lingshan Acropolis has one guard commander, two commanders, four commanders, and four thousand households. Those are all military attachés of the third grade, from the third grade, the fourth grade, and the fifth grade. In terms of the rank of officials, it is higher than a prefecture. The wealth created by tens of thousands of military households has been concentrated in their hands.

If these riches were effectively used by the imperial court, then the Ming Dynasty would not have perished so quickly, right? Suddenly, Zhang Zhun had a very ridiculous feeling, and he actually felt deep sorrow for Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen's biggest trouble was probably that he had no money and no food, the treasury was empty, and he was always unable to make ends meet, unable to provide relief to the victims or pay the food and salary of the officers and soldiers, and finally had to collapse.

In fact, it is not that the Ming Dynasty has no money and no food, but that this money and grain are not under the control of the emperor. A very ordinary Lingshan Wei has such rich assets, there are hundreds of guards in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is only half of the guards, there is such a number, all of them are collected, that is also an amazing number! Not to mention the amount of gold and silver, millions of stone of grain alone is enough to support the Liaodong army for a year and a half.

"How's the situation with the Ten Libraries?"

Zhang Zhun suddenly asked.

"My lord, there are too many materials in the ten warehouses, and the inspection has not been completed yet."

Zhang Lingyun said a little embarrassed.

Zhang Zhun said to Mo Yu: "Mo Yu, you can also go and help!" ”

Mo Yu agreed.

Zhang Lingyun obviously welcomed and said enthusiastically: "Brother, you came too timely. ”

After all, Mo Yu knows some culture, and he is also good at arithmetic, and with his help in checking, the speed will be much faster. The soldiers of the escort team are very good at fighting, but it is more difficult to do this kind of water grinding work. Zhang Lingyun had a headache when he saw the numbers. However, Liu Hang, Liu Baoyu and others will not arrive at night at the earliest. Before they arrive, the convoy must sort out a rough figure. Otherwise, there will be a delay.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the inner library was built, the inner library is the national treasury, a total of ten libraries: 1, the inner carrier warehouse, the storage of satin, gold and silver, treasure jade, tooth horns, feathers, and gold and silver are the largest, and the age of one million taels is strange (belonging to the household department). 2. Guangji warehouse, storage of sulfur and saltpeter (belonging to the Ministry of Industry). 3. A library, storing cloth and pigments (belonging to the household department). 4. B word library, storage fat jackets, combat shoes, sergeant fur hats (belonging to the military department). 5. C-word library, storage cotton, silk (belonging to the household department). 6. T-shaped warehouse, storing copper and iron, animal skins, and Sumu (belonging to the household department). 7. E-word library, storage armor (belonging to the Ministry of Industry). 8. The stolen goods are stored in the treasury and confiscated official property (belonging to the household department). 9. Guanghui Library, money storage (belonging to the household department). 10. Guangying warehouse, storage silk, leno, silk brocade (belonging to the Ministry of Industry). In addition, there is the Heavenly Treasury (also known as the Key Treasury, which stores the keys of each yamen and also stores money) and the Supply Treasury (stores japonica rice, cooked rice and offerings).

The warehouse setting of the Lingshan Acropolis is also operated according to these ten warehouses.

However, these 10 treasury belong to the treasury series, and since they are treasury, they are the objects of embezzlement by officials at all levels. Every official in the Ming Dynasty had the same mind, that is, he was eager to turn all the assets in the treasury into personal private property. For this reason, everyone sharpened their heads and frantically moved the assets in the treasury into their own pockets. I'm afraid I'll move too slowly and move too little.

Later historians once joked that the Ming Dynasty was "moved" by its own officials, which is not completely unreasonable. When the treasury is empty, the country will naturally collapse. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to find anything valuable in these ten libraries. However, it does not mean that there is nothing in the ten libraries. A huge acropolis, there must be a lot of materials, the key is whether it is suitable or not.

"My lord, Fang Yu and the ten old men have arrived."

Shortly after Zhang Lingyun and Mo Yu left, Zhang Zhun received a report.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Please." ”

After a while, Fang Yu appeared in front of Zhang Zhun with ten gray-haired old men.

For Fang Yu and the ten old men, it was the first time they had come in the Red Mansion, and their expressions all looked a little curious and a little uneasy. There is no doubt that they are absolutely in awe of the Red Mansion. This is a very strange phenomenon, even if the owner of the Red Mansion has changed, it still makes people feel scared, and it is the kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Your Excellency."

Fang Yu and the others greeted Zhang Zhun in unison.

Zhang Zhun said gently: "Don't be polite, everyone, sit down and talk!" ”

Let's just sit down with Fang Yu and all the old people.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Zhun's body, but no one spoke.

Zhang Zhun said straight to the point: "I believe everyone knows that I have successfully expelled Wang Jian. All the officers of Lingshanwei basically ran out. Since they have run away, there is no chance of coming back. To put it bluntly, the future Lingshanwei will be my master. ”

"However, I am not a person like Wang Jian, and I will not move away the interests of Lingshanwei. I'm here to bring benefits to everyone. I can honestly tell you that I, Zhang Zhun, will be stationed in Lingshanwei for a long time. ”

"The first thing I want to do is to divide the land among the people. Both men and women, as long as they are more than three feet tall, can get five acres of land. Equal land, free from forced labor, rejuvenating China, and building Datong are my Zhang Zhun's concepts, and I also ask for the support of the elderly. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Zhun carefully looked at everyone's faces. As a result, he regretted to find that his speech was not warmly supported. Such a big killer as dividing the fields and land did not stir up too many waves. Therefore, what he was going to say more was later condensed. Faintly, Zhang Zhun felt that his start in Lingshanwei might be quite tricky, and it was by no means achieved overnight.

Sure enough, after Zhang Zhun finished speaking, he was cold.

No one spoke.

After being silent for a long time, an old man said slowly: "The Lord has come from afar, and we naturally admire him very much. ”

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but frown quietly.

He could hear the flavor of the other party's words. Obviously, the meaning of this old man's expression is not too much enthusiasm for the division of the land, but shows a passive and helpless attitude of having to carry out the order. The meaning is very simple, you are a servant, what you say, we will do. However, we are not going to be proactive. Of course, we will do our best to satisfy you.

If you think deeper, there is more to express: because you are a servant, we have to carry out your orders. If something happens in the future, we are not responsible. If others are to investigate it, they can also justify it: it was the Lord Servant who asked us to do this, and we have to do it!

This is a very bad sign!

Active cooperation and passive cooperation are two completely different concepts!

Zhang Zhun looked at Fang Yu.

Who is this guy looking for? Don't you have any interest in the fields? Don't you want to get your own land? Or, they themselves have fields?

Seeing Zhang Zhun's face, Fang Yu was obviously a little anxious, and said bluntly: "Uncle Hu, now that Lord Servant has come to Lingshanwei to administer justice, and wants to divide the land for us, aren't you welcome?" All the uncles here are tenants, and they don't have any land of their own, and most of the harvest has to be handed over, don't you want to make the land your own? ”

The old people were silent.

Chilled again.

Zhang Zhun suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said slowly: "Is there anyone who is familiar with all the fields of Lingshanwei?" I need some help. ”

Fang Yu said softly: "Uncle Hu? ”

The old man, Uncle Hu, kept his head down and did not make a sound.

Zhang Zhun's gaze fell on him inadvertently, and he nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, another old man stood up, saluted Zhang Zhun respectfully, and said solemnly: "The old man is willing to serve the adult. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly: "Then thank you old man." ”

The old man claimed to be Zheng Dafang and was a tenant of Wang Jian's family. According to him, Lingshanwei has a total of more than 200,000 acres of land, but the population is more than 50,000 people, with an average of less than four acres of land per person. However, these fields are all in the hands of officers. Less than 10 percent of ordinary military households have their own land. The vast majority of military households were tenants who made a living by farming for officers' families. As for those who have no land and no other livelihood, they have already taken refuge in the nearby Fushan Institute.

Zhang Zhun said with interest: "Are you familiar with the "Juntian Order"? ”

Zheng Dafang said ashamedly: "I have heard a little, but the details are unknown." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said categorically: "Tonight, I have two subordinates, Liu Hang and Liu Baoyu, who will arrive at the Lingshan Acropolis. Before that, you check the fields again to see if the standard of five acres per person is enough. If not, what should be done? Fang Yu, I'll leave this matter to you. Come up with a charter as soon as possible. ”

The old people didn't react much.

Fang Yu said: "My lord, I will definitely come up with the charter as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Zhun raised his voice and said sternly: "The charter must be determined tonight!" Starting tomorrow, divide the fields and divide the land! ”

Fang Yu solemnly said that he would definitely do it.

The old people didn't say a word and left one after another.

Zhang Zhun stopped Fang Yu and said in a deep voice: "Fang Yu, how many young people can you mobilize?" ”

Fang Yu said euphemistically: "My lord, as long as the fields and land are divided tomorrow, I promise that thousands of people can be mobilized!" ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "A few thousand people are too many. Five hundred. You mobilize 500 young adults, and tomorrow you are ready to collect weapons and form a patrol. The security patrol after the Acropolis will be handed over to you. If you behave well, you can be included in my escort team. ”

Fang Yu was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Zhang Zhun said: "Go! Hurry! ”

Fang Yuxing said goodbye and left.
