Zhao Lie's inauguration banquet was held at Fan's Winery, the only restaurant in the town, Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin and Liu Ping offered Chengyi, Zhao Lie refused, Zhao Lie made up his mind that he couldn't deal with his boss by himself, but he would never condone such unspoken rules on his own turf.

In the evening, Zhao Lie and others wandered around in Chishan Fort, there is a long cross street in Chishan, and there are more than a dozen alleys of the town, there is a small Taoist temple in the west, and there is a stage built in the town, but it is in disrepair, the eaves are collapsed, and the popularity is gone. That night, Zhao Lie and his entourage rested in the back house of the official office. Of course, it was the result of the four maids and the guards fighting for an hour, after all, thousands of households were empty, and the back house had been unpopular for a long time, and there was dust everywhere.

The next day, Zhao Lie summoned Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, and Liu Ping to narrate,

"I wish my lord, what is the real number of military households in this thousand households, how many military fields are there, and what this official wants is the real number." Zhao Lie gets straight to the point, he doesn't plan to delay time, time is the most lacking for him, there is a slogan in later generations that time is money, and time is everything here in Zhao Lie.

Zhu Yingluo hesitated, looked at Zheng Yimin and Liu Ping, "My lord, there are more than 5,000 military households registered in this thousand households, a total of two forts and thirteen piers, and now the actual number of military households is more than 400, more than 2,000 Dingkou, 27,000 mu of military land, more than 10,000 mu of slope land, and the actual number is more than 10,000 mu. "Sure enough, as soon as I arrived, I kept an eye on the acres, but unfortunately, the acres of the seaside guard station were not as many as the inland guards, plus the land was barren, and there was no big input, well, the little broken child was just as greedy.

Tsk, more than half of the people escaped, and more than half of the acres of land were abandoned, it was really a veritable beggar's house, "I wish my lord, who is the warehouse manager of this office." ”

Zheng Yimin hurriedly got up: "My lord, it is my duty to store it. ”

"Well, then let's go to the vault and have a look."

The treasury was on the left side of the official office, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, Zheng Yimin sent the old army to open the door of the arsenal, only to see that the armor was neatly placed, and the bows, arrows, knives and guns, firearms, three-eyed guns, cotton armor, battle robes, wooden shields, and leather shields were all gathered together.

Zhao Lie tried Yu Dabao with his troops, Yu Dabao stepped forward and picked up a bow and fired the bow three times.

"My lord, the bowstring is weak."

Zhao Lie picked up the step bow and stretched it with all his might, only to hear a snap, and the bowstring broke. No need to ask, the bowstring is brittle, Yu Dabao picked up a Yanling knife, only to see that the blade was rusty, show it to Zhao Lie, Zhao Lie grinned, Zhao Lie picked up the big gun and danced a gun flower, well, it was just a shot, the length of the battle was not enough, and the tip of the gun was also rusty. Pick up the firearm and take a look, the workmanship is rough and the thickness of the gun pipe is different, who dares to use it, this is used for self-harm, only cotton armor and battle robes can be preserved, but there are only more than 20 sets of cotton armor, dozens of sets of battle robes, and there is no fat jacket for winter. There are still two or three hundred catties in the mezzanine on the side**, the color is already gray, and it looks like an old goods for many years.

The only bright spot is probably the imitation Franc machine bronze cannon in the corner, there are three in total, but only two are still complete, installed on the ironwood gun carriage, and it is a sharp weapon to defend the city.

"My lord, there has been no war for a long time, and the money in the institute is in arrears, and it is even more powerless to take care of the arsenal." Zheng Yimin explained embarrassedly that he couldn't afford not to allocate money, and he was also powerless.

Zhao Lie nodded and did not respond, Zhao Lie understood that the financial and material resources of the entire territory of Denglai were used in Dengzhou and Dongjiang, as for Chengshanwei, Jinghaiwei and other southern guards, it was fortunate that they were not dismantled, and as for replenishing combat power until the death of the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to think about it.

When everyone came to the grain depot, they saw that there were only more than 50 stone rice noodles in the warehouse, and more than 30 stone sorghum, millet and other miscellaneous grains.

Zhao Lie went to the horse farm and forage field again, and looked at more than 100 mules and horses, there were only more than 40 horses, among which there were more than 20 war horses, and most of the mules and horses were emaciated and out of shape. Obviously, there is not enough miscellaneous grain to feed, after all, it is difficult for mules and horses to grow fat just by eating wild grass, and it is unknown how much of the mules and horses where the thousand households are located. The carriage is broken, anyway, it is owned by thousands of households, only used, rarely maintained, which is extremely common in the guard, and it is wasted.

Zhao Lie was speechless for a while, this is the main body of the Ming army, that's right, the main body of the Ming army, the Ming army will be a lot of recruits, commonly known as the family, but after all, it is a minority, the army will be raised with a large sum of silver, and the key occasions are charged, however, there is only Liaozhen who has the financial resources to raise a few thousand families, Liaozhen is built by more than two million taels of silver every year in the Ming Dynasty, and the other divisions are mainly guarded soldiers, and there are only one or two battalions of soldiers swimming in each town, without him, there is no silver. Dengzhou Town only has three battalions of soldiers: Dengzhou Battalion, Laizhou Battalion, and Wendeng Battalion, of course, the personnel are different, there are more than 3,000 people in Dengzhou Battalion, 3,000 people in Laizhou Battalion, more than 1,000 people in Wendeng Battalion, and the rest are guards. Nominally, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Dengzhou, most of them are beggars in the guard, and there are a lot of vacancies, and the combat power can be imagined. That is to say, the main body of the Ming army is these military households, and now these military households have become farmers with hoes.

Back at the official office, Zhao Lie immediately ordered Du Li and Wang Quan to set off, return to Weihai with the ship, buy goods and food, mobilize 5,000 Liao people to Shidao to build wharves and military camps, etc., and notify the military remnants led by Ma Tao and Xu Hong to arrive with the ship, and brought a letter to Commander Zhao to ask for help, so that the Weihai division can help with transportation.

Zhao Lie did not conceal that Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, and Liu Ping were all giving orders in the hall, one by one, the warrant was issued, Du Li and Wang Quan knelt down and left, Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, and Liu Ping first saw that this young master was not here to mix qualifications, but really came to do things, and he was very neat, and he did it when he came, and then he was envious, jealous and hateful, Nima, he wanted people, Liao Min 5,000, he wanted items, scattered silver to buy, and he wanted the ship's sailor to dispatch, Zhu Ying wanted to ask, Yanei, is it interesting to come and rob me of this poor mountain and bad water. Scatter a lot of money out for the good land. Zheng Yimin wanted to ask, it's too much waste of so much silver still here, can't you share it. The military households here have no work. Of course, a few people just slandered in their hearts, no matter how young Zhao Lie was, after all, he was a thousand households, and he was a Shangguan.

After Zhao Lie's affairs were dispatched, he kindly ordered to see the tea.

"How many adults have a lot of land." Zhao Lie took a sip of tea and asked.

Several people looked at each other suspiciously, how to say, the hereditary military households to the high positions of several of them, there are a lot of military fields that share profits, there are also some civilian fields purchased outside, and there are also some military fields of military households that have escaped They also plant, of course, there is no register, but as long as they send the military households to cultivate for themselves, the harvest is their own, this is also their welfare in this dilapidated guard.

"My lord, the acres of land here are few acres and barren, and each of us is no more than a thousand acres of dry land, and the output is not much, what do you command?" Zhu Ying replied cautiously.

"Oh, this official took office this time, and Lord Deng Laiwu, the governor, instructed me and others to resettle tens of thousands of Liao people, and give money and food," The tiger skin is not, it is indeed the resettlement of disaster victims, Zhao Lie looked at the expressions of a few people. I saw Zhu Ying and the others looking at themselves dumbfounded.

Liu Pingxin said bluntly, "My lord, tens of thousands of refugees, my lord, you must not, this place cannot be settled no matter what." ”

"Lord Liu, don't worry, this official is planning to divert some of the abandoned acres of land and supply meat for tens of thousands of people, and in addition, someone has ordered a large number of ships from the official, established several large shipyards and iron works, and selected some people who dare to fight as the Weihai Sea Master and the official's family, so they should be diverted." Zhao Lie was confident.

Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, and Liu Ping were dumbfounded and speechless. How much money does this cost, no, the shipyard is so profitable, can't it.

"Adults, in a few days, the official will re-measure the acres of land in order to distribute acres of land for the refugees, so the official does not want to be unhappy with several adults because of this matter." Zhao Lie put things on the bright side.

"Naturally, naturally, I understand the urgency of the adults to resettle the refugees, and we should do our best to help the adults." Several people gritted their teeth in response. It's all digging flesh from the body. However, that boss will share the profits, this is the norm in officialdom, and a few people can accept it, it is a belly slander, I am afraid that it is true to let the refugees make you tenants. Collecting money for himself, and under the guise of resettling refugees, he is shameless at a young age.

Zhao Lie doesn't care about a few people's slander, anyway, he will know in the future.
