Chapter Eighty-Eight: Are You Panicking?
The more Li Ling thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and for a moment, he felt that his brain seemed to be a little insufficient.
looked at Liu Ponu with confused and doubtful eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any advantages in this product that people couldn't refuse.
The prince is humble and kind to people, although he does not have the experience of personally governing a county like Liu Ponu.
But for so many years, the people have known that the prince is very good, and he will definitely be a benevolent monarch in the future.
Although some words may be a little rebellious, but in fact he is like this, and many people are looking forward to the days after the crown prince ascends the throne.
There is no war, the kings and ministers are at peace, and the people are well-being......
The prince is the desire of the people, why is he Liu Ponu?
Li Ling glanced at Liu Ponu and found that he didn't seem to have any other advantages except shamelessness.
"So what should I do next?" Li Ling shook his head, and if he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't want to.
The matter of being a county lieutenant can't be changed, and since the emperor has arranged him here, it means that the emperor is determined to be the prince.
It doesn't matter whether you have ideas or not, what matters is what role the emperor wants to play.
For the emperor, no matter how optimistic he is about himself, he can't escape the fate of a chess piece after all.
"Just do what your county lieutenant should do!" Liu Ponu said calmly.
"By the rules?" Li Ling frowned slightly, and glanced at Liu Ponu pointedly.
"If there is a rule that is not followed, what else is the rule to do? I can't control how other counties are arranged, but in my county, I just have to follow the rules! Liu Ponu waved his hand, then looked up at the sky, and pretended to be forced: "I applied for the army at fifteen, and I went out for nearly two years at seventeen and eighteen, if it weren't for that, how could I be single at twenty now?" I have experienced it, so I know how painful this kind of thing is, and the tragedy that happened to me must not happen to the people of Lantian. ”
Li Ling was stunned, Liu Ponu actually went to the battlefield?
And it's been on the expedition for two years in a row?
Or at the age of seventeen or eighteen?
This was beyond Li Ling's expectations, regardless of this, it also made Liu Ponu's impression in Li Ling's heart a lot higher.
Coupled with those bold and ambitious words, although he was a little shameless just now, he actually ......
Is he a tough man who actually does things for the people? Li Ling couldn't help but wonder, but this question still needs to be examined.
"If you follow the rules, the male will be twenty years old, the annual service period will be one month, and the twenty-third will enlist in the army for military service, so that the tasks assigned by the imperial court may not be completed......" Li Ling said with some doubts, his mentality has changed, and the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different.
Why do localities want to advance the time of men's military service, don't they know the disadvantages of doing so?
Teenage kids, who don't have enough time to buffer, really think that war is a joke?
After Li Ling learned about Liu Ponu's experience, his first reaction was that his life was really big, and he didn't even kill him after two years of expedition.
According to the experience of using troops in the past, if it were not for the fact that the manpower could not be mobilized, the generals would not have directly pulled these people to the front line.
But once they need to go to the battlefield, basically half of a battle can come back alive and go to burn high incense.
However, the intensity of the imperial court's use of troops over the years is beyond imagination, and the pressure on the soldiers is unimaginable.
In many cases, it is not the generals who want to protect these little guys who can protect them, lack of training, lack of experience, and lack of ability to withstand pressure.
Falling behind the veterans in all aspects, when it comes to the battlefield, who is the baby still needs to be said?
Over time, the generals on the front line gradually summed up a set of their own theories.
Recruits should be protected, and if they can't be protected, they will be sent to see the destiny of heaven, and when you can still live after a few battles, then you will be eligible to enter the protection sequence.
There are too many recruits, casualties have increased dramatically, and the battle line stretches for thousands of miles, and a large number of troops are needed to fill these vacancies.
Therefore, the tasks assigned by the imperial court each year are not determined according to the actual number of school-age population in your county, but according to the total number of your population, according to a vague data given by an algorithm that does not know how to calculate it.
You don't need to bargain with the imperial court, and don't say that you don't have so many people, the imperial court said that your county will send out 500 people this year, no matter what method you use, it is to get 500 people.
It is precisely because of this phenomenon that each prefecture has to reduce the age of application.
This indirectly led to a situation similar to Liu Ponu's, who should have married a wife and had children, but was dragged to fight, and although he was lucky to be able to come back, he stayed on the front line directly.
And the men of school age who could have increased the population have all died on the front line, the number of newly formed families is less, the number of children is reduced, and the total population is not reduced.
Liu Ponu had experienced this kind of thing, so he was well aware of Li Ling's worries.
For other people, it's a really hard problem to solve.
Can it be put on Liu Ponu?
Hehe!
Liu Ponu waved his hand and said, "Although you do it according to the rules, if the court blames it, I will fight alone!" ”
The imperial court designated October as the first month of military service, when the harvest was just over, and people were idle at home with nothing to do.
At the end of October, county lieutenants will also issue a training order to gather young people of school age who have registered but are not eligible for military service to conduct military training for one month a year.
In some places, it is divided into two stages, summer and winter, one for half a month.
If there are no surprises, it's usually a fixed time flow.
If there is an accident and a large-scale mobilization of troops is required, the imperial court will give priority to the mobilization of troops stationed in various places, and then urgently recruit, and immediately after the requisition, adaptation training will be carried out in each county, and if there is a need at the front, an order will be issued that the county lieutenant will personally send these soldiers to the designated place to assemble.
Li Ling didn't stay in the mining area for long, he just came over to meet Liu Ponu and get a brief understanding first.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ling went directly to Lantian County to hand over to Yang Tu, the current county governor.
Like fur, Yang Tu also had to make way for Li Ling.
But the difference is that even if the county order is not Liu Ponu, even if the person who comes is not Li Ling, Yang Tu will be promoted in the near future.
Don't look at Yang Tu in the past two years, he has been very low-key in Lantian, and he seems to be pressed by the Lan family and can't raise his head.
In fact, more than half of the Lan family's relationship networks and incriminating evidence were secretly collected by Yang Tu.
After Yang Tu reported these evidences, Liu Che asked Wang Wu to send someone to investigate for nearly a year before he completely figured out the entire Lan family's relationship and interest network.
Originally, it was time to close the net, Liu Che had an idea, and decided to let the Lan family be arrogant for a while, and directly throw Liu Ponu over to temper it.
As a result, what Liu Che never expected was that the Lan family was so useless, and they obviously sent someone to secretly send him support, but they still failed to fight Liu Ponu in one round and lost.
Since it is useless, there is naturally no value in use, and the net is a matter of course.
"Brother Nu, I'm a little panicked in my heart......" As soon as Li Ling left on his front foot, the little mule and Wang Bing directly surrounded him.
"I didn't see you panic when I killed someone, but now you're panicking?" Liu Ponu glanced at the little mule angrily.
"It's too much, I don't think I can hide it at all......" The little mule's face was full of bitterness.
To see if a person is a confidant, it does not mean that the boss can explain how much you do.
It's up to him to see if he's willing to take you to do something you're not allowed to do.
Although the little mule decided to sell himself to Liu Ponu in this life when he beat Liu Ponu to sell grain to help him raise the running expenses, coupled with some things that happened later, he was even more determined in this idea.
But now, the little mule still couldn't stop feeling a little panicked in his heart.
How painful is this kind of thing?
People who have not experienced it may not be able to imagine it in their lifetime, anyway, for the little mule, even if he is asked to wipe his neck and let him eat Xiang now, he feels that it is much more painful than this kind of torment.
"Accounts!" Liu Ponu stretched out his hand.
Wang Bing is not a little mule, and he doesn't dare to complain like a little mule.
honestly put the sorted out accounts in Liu Ponu's hands.
All the accounts were done in the way Liu Ponu explained, and there were too many detailed accounts and couldn't bring them, so Wang Bing just brought a general ledger.
"Young master, there are probably thirty percent of the places that haven't had time to be counted yet, and it will be almost two days in two days......," Wang Bing hurriedly said.
Liu Ponu nodded, and quickly glanced at the accounts in his hand.
The accounts made up of Arabic numerals are simple and easy to understand, and those who know know can see obvious mistakes at a glance.
Although Liu Ponu doesn't know how to do it, the current Wang Bing shouldn't have the courage to lie to himself, not to mention that the little mule is still monitoring the whole process.
However, Liu Ponu still glanced at it roughly, and then set his eyes on the final general account.
"Only more than 340,000 yuan?" Liu Ponu frowned.
You must know that this is the wealth of nearly 100 private families, which of them has not been entrenched in Lantian for decades?
The co-authors have only hidden three or four thousand dollars?
What is this money enough for them? I'm afraid it's not enough to run, right?
"Brother Nu, no...... It's a lot......" The little mule trembled, this was snatching food from the mouth of the imperial court, and it was in front of the imperial history, he was so frightened that he couldn't give up, but Brother Nu, you are still too little?
"Young master, the money is too heavy, so there will be less hidden, and there are a lot of other valuable treasures, if you sell them at a normal price, you can sell them for almost four or five million dollars, even if you sell them at a low price, your subordinates are estimated to be able to sell them for about a million dollars." Wang Bing hurriedly explained that the Wang family had also done this kind of thing, so he still knew how to do it.
If it really comes to an emergency, a family will run away with a few hundred dollars at most, too much to bring at all, it is better to hold a treasure alone, and then find a place to sell it cheaply if there is no money.
"Uncle Liu, arrange for someone to secretly transport this money back!" Liu Ponu nodded and arranged towards Uncle Liu.
It is more stable to find anyone in this matter than to find Uncle Liu, even if he swaggers back, no one dares to ask.
Anyway, there is such a resource around him, there is no need to use it in vain, Liu Ponu is too lazy to think of those strange methods.
After explaining these things, Liu Ponu set his sights on the property of those who had been raided.
The ones I eat are just small heads, and there is no way to compare them with those that have been copied out.
His own house is settled, and those Yulin soldiers still live in simple thatched houses.
Liu Ponu beckoned to Wang Bing and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and finish the things at hand, and then go to Huo Guang's side to help with the statistics, remember ...... in the accounts."
