Chapter Seventy-Three: Books, Craftsmen
: The household official hall occupies a large area.
The front and back houses of the thousand-household official hall are centered on the central axis of the gate, the lobby, the second hall and the third hall, and the other buildings basically maintain symmetry. It is divided into several sections, which are the main and deputy thousand households, the hundred households are calmed, and the officials of the order room are located.
The lobby is five rooms and seven frames, and the layout is quite martial style.
At this time, in the West Flower Hall next to the lobby, there were already several tables of wine banquets, with fish, meat and wine, and the lunch was sumptuous.
It seems that in order to set up these tables of wine, there will be a lot of bleeding in Shunxiang Fort today.
After Xu Lu arranged for Wang Dou to do his subordinates, he hurried to the banquet. At this time, he had the honor to sit at the same table with Wang Dou, and he picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "The defense lord has come to serve in our Shun Fort, this is the glory of our Shun Fort, come." Let's toast the Guardian Lord! ”
Everyone responded violently, even Lin Daofu and Zhenfu Chi Dacheng nodded and raised their glasses, Wang Dou said: "Benbei has recently taken office, and he has a lot of confusion about the affairs of Shunbao, and he also needs a lot of assistance from his colleagues to govern Shunbao well!" ”
He smiled and raised his glass, and the warriors did it together.
Next, all the officers in the banquet stepped forward to toast Wang Dou, even a few officials.
Wang Dou did not refuse to come, and the wine was dry, which surprised everyone, but they didn't expect Wang Dou to be so arrogant, and everyone didn't feel a little good impression of Wang Dou. People who drink boldly usually have a lot of energy, and it seems that everyone's life will be better in the future.
In fact, for Wang Dou to serve as the defensive officer of Shunxiang Fort, except for Zhong Zhengxian, there is no one in the fort, and people are convinced. His qualifications are too shallow, and his official position is too high, although he has made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits some time ago, but this promotion has not yet come down, Wang Dou is still the general banner, and he serves as the defensive officer with the general flag, how can this be convincing? Not to mention anything else, the hundred households in Shunxiang Fort are a lot of them, and these people can't take their turn, why should it be his turn?
However, this Wang Dou can serve as the defense officer of Shunxiang Fort, at least it proves that Lord Xu of the integrity officer values him, this background is very hard, and the strength of the soldiers and horses brought by Wang Dou today is also not to be ignored, no matter how these soldiers are trained, in this world, if there are soldiers, they have the right, and they can speak loudly. The next official retired".
After the banquet, Wang Dou came to the backyard, and sure enough, there were a few in and out, there were many rooms, and Wang Dou asked Han Chao, Han Zhong, and Xie Yike to choose a set of rooms each. In the evening, Zhong Zhengxian also came happily, moved his luggage, and said that he would live in the official mansion in the future.
In the evening, Lin Daofu came, and he bowed his hand to Wang Dou and said: "My lord, the lower officials have already brought the documents in the fort, and the Dingkou military households inside and outside the thousand households, the grain and grass in the warehouse, the ordnance and guns are all recorded here."
Looking at this tall middle-aged officer, Wang Dou smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Lin, please take a seat!" ”
Wang Dou knew that Lin Daofu was still very capable, and he was also familiar with the affairs of Shunxiang Fort, but his official luck was not good. Of course, he has to use such a person.
After he asked Lin Daofu to sit down, he looked at the book intently.
According to the statistics of the booklet, there were 323 officers and soldiers and 115 horses and mules in Shunxiang Fort. There are more than 350 military households and more than 1,000 households in the fort, including more than 70 artisan households.
In terms of weapons, there are more than 70 pairs of bows, 5,290 arrows, 186 pairs of armor, 14 tiger clothes and tiger hats, more than 100 large knives, waist knives, and rattan back knives. In addition, there are 32 spears, 15 mills, three copper cannons, five pairs of copper and iron Franc machines, two invincible opponents, and two tiger tail cannons. 187 catties and 9 taels of lead, 120 catties and 7 taels of gunpowder, 1,630 catties of wrought iron, 1,357 catties of pig iron, and 432 grains of pig iron.
Wang Dou shook his head, the small number of people, materials and weapons in the fort greatly surprised him.
Looking at the situation of the cattle in the fort and the subordinate forts, it is even worse. There are less than 100 cattle cultivated in Shunxiang Fort, not counting Jingbian Fort, the entire 1,000-household tun field is less than 7,000 mu, and the entire 1,000-household military household is less than 800. And, who knows if these are statistics on paper, or if they are real?
Wang Dou was just groaning, Lin Daofu had been watching Wang Dou's expression, he had been in Shunxiang Fort for a long time, he naturally knew the difficulties in this fort, and he was doing his best, but the situation in this fort was getting worse every day, I don't know if this very legendary, the latest defensive lord can change this situation? Lin Daofu is looking forward to it ().
After a long time, Wang Dou raised his head and said to Lin Daofu: "Lord Lin, you recruit the officers in the fort tomorrow, and I will inspect all parts of the fort!" ”
Early the next morning, Wang Dou, accompanied by Lin Daofu and others, inspected all parts of Shunxiang Fort.
The northwest of Nashun Township Fort is a military camp and a horse shop, and there are granaries and forage fields in the southeast, and there is also a post post in the south gate. Wang Dou has seen all these places, there are few people in the barracks, and most of the sergeants don't know where to go. Most of the horses in the horse shop are thin, the hay field lacks hay and horse feed, and there are a few old worshippers left in the post post
In that Chang Closed Warehouse, there are only hundreds of stones of grain and rice left, how many days is enough to eat?
Wang Dou walked one place after another, and everything in Shunxiang Fort was exposed in front of Wang Dou. Everyone in Shunxiang Fort was a little nervous, only Wang Dou looked calm, not knowing what he was thinking. Han Zhong and Xie Yike laughed while watching, and the two of them said in unison: "Tsk, this fort looks big, but it's not as good as Jingbian Fort!" ”
It seems that everyone is looking at each other.
Soon, the group entered the craftsman's workshop again, only to see that some craftsmen were lazily making the weapons in their hands, which was completely incomparable with the hot scene in the Jingbianbao craftsman's workshop. It is also a craftsman from Shunxiang Fort, after they arrived at Jingbian Fort, this enthusiasm for work and the quality of this weapon can be said to be one in the sky and the other on the ground.
Looking at the pale faces of those craftsmen, Wang Dou didn't have the heart to punish them, and finally Wang Dou came to the wall of Shunxiang Fort and looked at the martial arts hall in the south of the city. He said in a deep voice, "Lord Lin." Tomorrow I will recruit the officers and soldiers in the fort, and I will review the sergeants! ”
