Huo Guangzheng is a logistics talent with a great chance of success in Liu Xian's eyes, far more important than Huo Guangcheng, a fierce general brother who can be seen everywhere. Although in today's military system, Huo Guangcheng's status far exceeds that of Huo Guangzheng.

The thing Huo Guangzheng wants to inform Liu Xian now is that the number of prisoner camps is the number of screening, **, widowers, old people and children, and the number of items listed by Liu Xian is accurately numbered.

"Fifth brother." Huo Guangzheng privately shouted Liu Xian's old name. Fifth brother, this is because Liu Xian is ranked fifth among a group of relatives of the same generation. "More than 5,000 prisoners, more than 3,000 bereaved families of martyrs in the army, and refugees who are attached to us, the number is no less than 13,000. To feed them, we can't rely on the two nitrate mines, an iron mine, and 3,000 acres of land that we have gotten. ”

"We must get at least 30,000 acres of land, of which 20,000 acres must be watered to ensure the rations of these people and the officers and men of our army."

"The two nitrate mines are enough to supply the saltpeter needed for gunpowder in the army, but the sulfur needs to be purchased from outside, as far as the imperial court is concerned...... There is no room for optimism. ”

Liu Xianjun's development of demand for firearms and gunpowder has been rising all the way, and the reason why he has not encountered any insurmountable restrictions is entirely because of the strong support of Zhang Shoudai and Li Ying. If it weren't for these two civil officials on the list, relying only on Liu Xian's own development, it would be two things to see if the current Liu Xian's army still exists.

"It's true that there is money in the treasury, but increasing the flow of money is the first place. To ensure all the current expenses of our army, as well as the use of iron materials, only a small mine in our county cannot do it. Yangjiaba [Lüyang] iron and copper mine, Senchaling [Lüyang] gold and iron mine, must be obtained. ”

The former is the only copper mine in Hanzhong Province, and it is very convenient to develop, and it was previously strictly controlled by the local gentry and government in Luoyang. But now that the army has the greatest right to speak in troubled times, Hanzhong Mansion is its own absolute ally, so it is not a good opportunity to eat Yangjiaba.

The situation at the Senchaling gold and iron mine is also very similar. The production of gold is only marginal, mainly iron.

"Huachanggou gold mining area, Jialing River placer gold deposit, and Donggouba gold and silver mine, these three cornucopias, we can't swallow one of them, we have to insert a kick in it......"

Unlike Fan Debang, who still spends a lot of energy on military affairs, Huo Guangzheng is not involved in military affairs at the moment, and he only considers the expenses and needs of the army. What he said was all about Liu Xianjun's finances.

Liu Xian knew very little about Yangjiaba, Senchaling, Huachanggou and other mines, and he couldn't deny Huo Guangzheng's words, so he just let Huo Guangzheng do it. What he can understand is real estate, 30,000 acres of fields, 20,000 acres of irrigated land, which was a first-class landlord in Hanzhong and even in Shaanxi before the chaos.

"30,000 acres of land? So much, how do I get there? ”

"My fifth brother, this military disaster in Hanzhong is extremely severe, and I don't know how many gentry and heroes have been wiped out in the local area, as well as those people who have been affected, coerced and killed. The city is inherently here, and the situation is not very serious. If you go to other states and counties, there is ownerless land everywhere...... and the county seat has been broken, and many of the archives of the county government on land deeds have been turned into ashes, and the maneuverable space in it can leak a whale.

The meaning of Huo Guangzheng's words is self-evident.

Liu Xian suddenly realized, patted his head, really stupid, why didn't he think of this? In the future, who would dare to say that the ancients were stupid, this brain is very smart.

"Don't say it's 30,000 acres, it's possible to operate it well even if it's 100,000 acres."

In an instant, he completely left Liu Rong's order behind, and only the glittering mountains and silver seas were left in his eyes.

"Let's start with Chenggu. You will go to see Wang Ruwei ......."

The next day, in Chenggu County, countless gongs were ringing early in the morning.

"All the people listened, all the people listened......"

"About the ...... of the fields in Sixiang after the war" With the shouts of the officials, one by one proclamations were posted in conspicuous places all over the city. Armed with guns and knives, the soldiers of the volunteer battalion stood bravely in front of the proclamation, intimidating the people who flocked to the front to watch.

"Mr. Wu, you always give me a thought, what did the yamen say?"

"Cheng Xiucai, hurry up, what's going to happen to the official......"

All kinds of words are different, but the meaning is the same, and the cries are loud all over the county. One after another, the talented masters who were literate and hyphenation, their faces may be stern, but they stood at the front of the crowd very complacently, shaking their heads and reading the official documents on the proclamation.

“……………… In view of the barren fields and artemisia in the four townships of the city after the disaster, the county government established an aftermath bureau and told the people of the county: If it is out of production, it will be found out and the officials will be hired; If the landlord returns, he will still return to his original business. ……”

The three words 'aftermath', which is very Republican-style, have actually been circulated during this period. Wang Ruwei has been a 'clean' professor for so many years, and he has long been blind to how to write the words 'bribery and corruption'. Huo Guang, who was sent by Liu Xian, hit it off, so this so-called 'aftermath bureau' after the Chenggu War was born.

When the war in Hanzhong had not subsided.

Liu Xian sent his relatives and letters to Nanzheng in the morning. If you want to get the most benefits, you also need Li Ying's help.

And as long as this vote is made, the Liu family in the second half of the year should be the largest landlord in the entire Hanzhong Mansion.

Just by taking all the abandoned fields in the four townships, all the officials have no income, and they are called "out of production", how much benefit can they get?

For example, in Nayang County, Xixiang and other places where the rebel army has been rampant for a long time, how many people have joined the rebel army and the Taiping army, and how many squires and landlords have been beheaded by the whole house. For example, Wang Luying's original husband's family, the aftermath should not be too rich.

The fate of Liu Rong's cup was doomed at this moment. Fan Debiao rushed back to see Liu Xian with Li Ying's reply on the front foot, and Li Ying's personal entourage on the back foot rushed into Chenggu and handed Li Ying's second letter.

The attitude in the letter was completely changed from the former.

If you want to make money, of course, it's better if there is no one on your head. If Liu Rong doesn't fall, he will stand on the side, how big a piece of meat will he share.

As a result, the Hanzhong Mansion in February was spent in such a vigorous manner. At present, more than 300,000 Taiping troops [now all Taiping troops] enter Sichuan from the 'Yinping Avenue'. Later, there was the great aftermath of the whole government that developed in the entire Hanzhong Prefecture. And because there are only Fengxian, Nanzheng, and Chenggu in the upper and lower parts of the prefecture, and there are still county orders in Zài, Luoyang, Chuxian, Ningqiang, Dingyuan, Yangxian, Liuba, Baocheng and other counties, and the Aftermath Bureau has the prefect Li Ying and Master Li to supervise and manage it personally.

Covering it generally, the entire Hanzhong Mansion, except for Feng County, all the other states and counties are all decided by the Li Ying + Liu Xian combination.

What the? Do you say that Chenggu and Nanzhengben County, Wang Ruwei and other two county magistrates who were personally pushed by Li Ying, dare not listen to their benefactors?

Liu Xian, who sits firmly in the city, now stares at his own account book every day.

Today there are 2,000 acres of land, tomorrow there are three more Zhuangzi, and the day after tomorrow there will be more than a dozen noodle shops......

It's really "the golden galaxy that flows home day and night." The land of Hanzhong, follow the surname of the Liu family......"
