Chapter 304: Plunder II

On the way back, the soldiers of the escort team were very excited, plus the soldiers captured on the battlefield before, as well as the gold, silver and grain plundered during the attack on the lonely city this time, the entire escort team was about to become a baggage team escorting supplies.

The harvest was extremely rich.

Of course, Gao Ning knows what the image of the grain depot is, in this era, if an official wants to make money, he has to embezzle the grain depot and buy and sell it.

The embezzlement of state property has become an unspoken rule for the coming of officials.

The reason why Gao Ning wanted to grab it was just to give Fushan City a perfect excuse for the large amount of food to be brought in the future and sufficient management.

The dealers have a very strong ability to resell, and they have traveled all over the country, even to Southeast Asia, and their communication skills change with regional changes, and they can integrate into the local area in the shortest possible time.

Coupled with the storage card in Gao Ning's hand, it is not too simple to transport a large amount of grain.

As for gold and silver, it is even more unnecessary, Gao Ning's mining vehicle has already driven to the Zhaoyuan area, and it can be deployed at any time to advance the base, and there will be a steady stream of heavy metals at that time.

The plundering of the county seat is just to find an excuse on the surface, and the county seat of Jimo does not belong to Foshanwei, but to Laizhou Mansion.

If this city is really captured, then it is equivalent to crossing two places, and in the sensitive area of Shandong, it is impossible for the imperial court not to pay attention to it.

At that time, it is very likely that the news will be conveyed to the top, and then attract a larger number of officers and troops.

Gao Ning didn't care about fighting, no matter how he fought, he couldn't lose.

But wars are all for political purposes, and if he wants to build a better dynasty now, he must first develop it.

In his opinion, Fushan City is still far away.

Returning with a full load, the entire Fushan City fell into a carnival again

Although they were very confident in the soldiers of the escort team, they were always a little uneasy in the face of the officials and soldiers, after all, the prestige of the imperial court had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the continuous blessing of hundreds of years.

They themselves are rebellious and psychologically disadvantaged, and the land they have acquired and the recently changed living conditions have become the most precious things for the people of Fushan City, and they are afraid of losing them again and falling into the abyss again.

The news of the victory came back and gave everyone a shot in the arm, and deep down they finally had some confidence in Gao Ning and the escort that they would be able to keep them safe and give them a prosperous life.

During this period of time, the number of people in Fushan City was always increasing, and the displaced people from all directions heard about the changes in Fushan City and rushed over the mountains with great anticipation.

If you want to develop, you must have a population, so Gao Ning will not refuse to come to the people.

No matter what kind of person he is, he has a way of putting him in the right position.

The hawkers' propaganda is in place, and now that the news has gradually spread out of Shandong Province, many refugees from Henan and Shaanxi are hesitating whether to try their luck in Shandong.

The carnival lasted for three consecutive years, and the days that followed gradually returned to normal.

After this war, the spirit of the escort team has changed sharply, and taking this opportunity, Gao Ning reorganized the escort team into an army.

At present, the 5,000 Rao team is the first combat regiment under the escort army.

Training and recruitment continued, and the follow-up of young and strong personnel was endless, and Gao Ning also took this opportunity to continue to stuff red police soldiers into the troops.

He has always kept the ratio at 1:1, so as to maximize the combat effectiveness of the guards.

At the same time, there were also changes in the management system of Fushan City.

Gao Ning completely abolished the obscenity and yamen system, and simply divided the management department of the entire city into three departments: public security, construction, and taxation.

The Ministry of Public Security is responsible for internal security, managing household registration and internal conflicts, and occasionally fighting and brawls.

The Ministry of Construction is a bit like the Construction Bureau, but it has a lot more authority, and they are responsible for the overall planning of the renovation of houses, the expansion of the city, the repair of roads, and the recruitment of construction personnel.

The tax department, on the other hand, has some of the functions of the bank, and even has the power of tax investigation.

These three departments are used as auxiliaries, and the rest are connected to the castle's internal database, which is gradually filled in and perfected as much as possible into a system similar to the later city management system.

In order to make it easier for everyone to adapt, the previous yamen was not completely closed, but all the personnel inside were replaced by Red Guard soldiers.

If people don't have substantive contact, they shouldn't feel any changes, in fact, the internal processes are completely different.

After this war, until the beginning of August, as the name of Fushan City Gaoning gradually became louder, more and more displaced people poured in from all directions.

In just one month, the total number of people who fled to Fushan City after hearing the news reached 10,000.

Plus the previous captives, and the soldiers and servants captured in the county town.

Plus the Red Alert soldiers who came in from Gao Ning.

The total population of Fushan City has more than doubled in just one month.

With a large number of laborers, the reclamation work of Fushan City has made great progress, and the fields under its control have reached more than 100,000 mu, which is much more than before.

However, according to Gao Ning's estimates, there should be more than 600,000 acres of wasteland around it that can be reclaimed as fields, and even terraced fields can be opened under extreme conditions, all in all, according to the standard of 5 acres of land per person, Fushan City can also accommodate more than 200,000 people.

With the increase in population, Gao Ning consciously stabilized some vendors in the city, and the stalls they sold evolved into shops.

If someone takes the lead, those who have money in their hands will naturally follow, so the number of shops in the city has also increased.

The grain shop should be the most lively place in the whole Fushan City, after all, it is a rare thing to be able to maintain the price of grain at a low level in this era, and the first thing that many outsiders come to Fushan City is to inquire about the two families, express their amazement, and then stay here without hesitation.

In addition, all kinds of grocery stores, farm tools, silk houses, pharmacies and even bathhouses and other bizarre industries have reopened.

At the beginning of August, Gao Ning's tax department received a commercial tax from the neighborhood, although most of it was contributed by the merchants, and it was only about 100 taels of silver, but no matter what, this was a good start, and I believe that with the development of commercial trade, the commercial tax will be more and more.

The Ministry of Construction has called in a large number of laborers to renovate roads and rebuild villages while building ports.

No matter what era it is, maritime trade is the most profitable, and Fushan City is not far from the sea, how can such a convenient condition be abandoned!

With the expansion of power, there are more and more things, although the Red Police soldiers can assist, but they have excellent execution, but lack of judgment, so Gao Ning is also consciously promoting some young people in the guards, as long as the mind is flexible and knows how to think, they will not be stingy to improve.

This has made the recruitment of the Guardians even more popular.
