Chapter 155: Barracks Affairs
As for how to subdue Luo Yi and Li Xiaogong, Li Chengming has not come up with any good ideas for the time being, so he simply doesn't think about it anymore, and plans to take one step at a time, after all, whether it is Luo Yi or Li Xiaogong, if they want to rush over to meet him, that time is not short.
Especially Luo Yi, if he remembers correctly, this guy rebelled in history, and he couldn't even take a single Fengzhou, so he was defeated by the combination of people inside and outside, and I don't know if history will repeat itself in this life.
Although he knew the news, he didn't go back, but still walked around the barracks with his personal guards, only to find that although it was only two or three hours, Xue Wanche and Luo Ning had already achieved some results in reorganizing those soldiers.
Especially Xue Wanche, who was originally a little messy, had been reorganized by him at this time, and even some soldiers had begun to lead these soldiers to practice.
Seeing this, Li Chengming couldn't help but bow slightly, Xue Wanche is worthy of being a person who can leave a name in the history books, and he still has a few brushes.
On the other hand, Luo Ning, although he was a Qianniu in the East Palace before, Luo Ning also had some experience in commanding troops, and the reorganization of the Huixian County People's League handed over to him by Li Chengming was quite good, but this time Li Chengming asked him to organize 8,000 soldiers at a time, but it made him a little busy, although it was not as chaotic as in the morning, but the progress was obviously not as good as Xue Wanche.
Li Chengming saw all this, but he didn't say much, and after inspecting the reorganization of the soldiers, he went to the barracks to manage the supplies.
Before he got closer, he saw truckloads of grain, grass, cloth, money, silk, etc., being escorted into various camps by countless people and soldiers.
When he saw these grains, grass, cloths, money and silk stored in different camps, like a hill, even Li Chengming couldn't help but gasp.
Although he had seen the list of copyists in Wang Fusheng's hands before, he was also startled by the numbers on that list.
However, numbers are always numbers, and they are always cold, which is far less impactful than looking at these mountains of objects.
Looking at these grains, grass, money, and silks, even Li Chengming, who has no concept and desire for money in this world, feels a little enthusiastic, and he can't wait to pocket them all, even if he knows that these are now his own.
Even he was like that, not to mention the men and soldiers who were transporting things.
At this time, Li Chengming finally realized the importance and threat of these money.
For many people, sometimes, money is more important than life, and they can not even want their lives for money.
Now, if these things are not handled well, maybe they will be a powder magazine in the barracks, and if this powder magazine is blown up, I am afraid that it will directly blow up the army that he has managed to collect, and even he will be in danger.
After thinking of this, Li Chengming directly asked people to call Xue Wanche and Luo Ning over, and then instructed them to send 1,000 people each from the reorganized soldiers to guard this military depot, and at the same time, they also needed to go to the county to find fifteen account offices, five under Li Chengming's own command, five under Luo Ning, and the other five under Xue Wanche.
Of these fifteen account rooms, only the ten account rooms in the hands of Luo Ning and Xue Wanche need to be responsible for counting the materials in the munitions warehouse, and at the same time responsible for cashiering and accounting, and then they need to send the account books to Li Chengming every day, and then the five account rooms under Li Chengming will audit them.
This is Li Chengming's own cross-audit method, he actually doesn't understand the profession of accounting, for cashiers, do not know anything about accounting, before crossing over, he is an ordinary person, the work he does is also very ordinary, is an ordinary worker, every time someone else pays him a salary, he can't even understand the data on the payslip.
However, despite this, he knows some people's hearts and some ways to use people.
It is true that he doesn't know how to do accounts, he doesn't know how to audit, but this kind of thing only needs to be taught to people who understand, he divided five account rooms to Luo Ning, and also divided five account rooms to Xue Wanjiang, all of which were attributed to their accounts, just to let the two of them contain each other and not connect in series.
And the five accounts in their hands need to make accounts every day, even if the five accounts make fake accounts together, but they can't be connected in series, the accounts made under the two account books are different, and the other five accounts in his hands will naturally be clear at a glance.
However, Li Chengming also knows that this method is only working temporarily, if it really arrives, the wealth is moving, many people will definitely continue to make small moves in private, and it is also predictable to join forces to be corrupt.
Fortunately, Li Chengming didn't plan to use one method until he was old, and when the time came, when he really won Datang, he would naturally think of another set of methods to manage the accounts.
The current method is nothing more than a stopgap measure.
After disposing of the contents of the munitions depot, Li Chengming ordered the craftsmen and people in the barracks to be collected and began to build the vehicles for transportation.
These things will definitely be transported in the future, and it is impossible to stay where they are, but there are not enough vehicles in the barracks at the moment.
In addition to this, manpower is also an issue.
Originally, there were more than 30,000 people in the army sent by Li Shimin to crusade against him, but Li Chengming couldn't see that there were not only twelve or thirteen-year-old children among those people, but also old people in the age of sixties, so he directly eliminated Luo Ning from all those who were under the age of fifteen and over the age of fifty-five.
With this elimination, the original number of more than 30,000 civilians was instantly reduced by more than 5,000, and the remaining civilians were only more than 20,000.
Perhaps for ordinary times, more than 20,000 people are a lot, but in ancient times, the number of civilians accompanying the army was generally fifty percent more than the soldiers, or even doubled.
Why is this so?
Because the transportation situation in ancient times was very bad, if you want to transport military materials, you can only rely on manpower, and the technology of the vehicles transported at this time is not very mature, there are not too many things to transport, and there is still a lot of manpower used.
Another point is that the grain and grass transported by the soldiers are not only for the soldiers to eat, but the people are also people, so they naturally need to eat, so in addition to the grain and grass of the soldiers, the grain and grass of the soldiers and the soldiers are also counted.
It is conceivable how much pressure such transportation should be, which is why the number of soldiers and civilians is generally more than that of soldiers.
And now in Li Chengming's military camp, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers alone, and the total number of people is only more than 20,000.
However, Li Chengming finally came up with a solution, and he thought of the wheelbarrows he had seen some of the people in the Sichuan and Shu regions before.
This wheelbarrow, also known as the wheelbarrow, first appeared in the Han Dynasty, but because it was not promoted, it was rarely known.
But until after the new era, this kind of wheelbarrow still existed, and it was a common tool used by many people in mountainous areas, more popular than the so-called donkey cart, and naturally had its own unique significance.
Unicycles do not need several people to push other vehicles, only one person can easily push hundreds of pounds of weight, plus its requirements for the road are very low, only need to be smoother, even the road is extremely narrow, and there is no need to need a very wide road like a four-wheeled vehicle.
The design and production of the wheelbarrow is extremely simple, Li Chengming just told a few craftsmen a little, and in less than an hour, a wheelbarrow was manufactured, and then let a sturdy man try it, and saw the man pushing a wheelbarrow weighing hundreds of pounds on the road, Li Chengming's face couldn't help but show a smile......
