"Back to Your Highness, the material money, the Ministry of Industry reported 1,074,532 taels and 7 yuan."

"If it is according to the price of the private material, the material price should be 1,024,300 taels and 4 yuan."

Jin Yiwei reported the water in it to Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile when he heard it:

"Okay, a few of you who check the money, wait a minute and go to Wang Zhangyin to receive fifty rewards, fifty taels per person."

"Your Highness!" Hearing this, these Jinyi guards who checked the material and money were overjoyed and knelt down to salute one after another.

The other Jinyi guards who heard Zhu Youzhen's promise on the side sped up their movements.

You must know that their annual salary is only 12 taels of silver, and they can check the accounts for 50 taels per person, which is too cost-effective.

They checked the accounts well, and Zhu Youzhen was also happy.

He watched these people check the accounts, turned his head and said to Lu Wenzhao:

"There are too few people in Nanzhen Fusi, and the sum of the inside and outside is not more than three thousand six, since this is the case, you will recall these three thousand six hundred people back to the capital, cultivate them well, and train everyone according to the small banner."

"When the time comes, you will take them and sit in the position of the commander."

"Obedience!" Lu Wenzhao hurriedly knelt down, and at this time, the meal prepared by the chef of the East Palace for Jinyiwei and Lu Wenzhao was also served.

"Alright, you get up first, and then you can go after eating." Zhu Youzhen explained.

"Yes" Lu Wenzhao got up and sat down, bowed his head and ate.

Soon after the group finished eating, the brocade guard, who had been in charge of manpower for a long time, got up and saluted:

"Your Highness, the manpower has been calculated, the Ministry of Industry according to each craftsman five taels a year, with four thousand craftsmen, need to support eighty thousand taels, in addition to the construction of the people's servant food and clothing is eight stone of grain per year."

"That is to say, if you use 50,000 people, you will need 1.2 million stone of grain in three years."

"According to the price of grain purchased by the Ministry of Industry from Tongzhou Dacang, it will cost about 350,000 taels."

"If you use four guards and one battalion, plus so many people in Yulin and three guards, you don't need to launch conscription."

"There are still 500,000 stone grain in the inventory of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and after the autumn harvest next year, the fields of the Huangzhuang and the Imperial Horse Supervisor will be divided into 64 and 64 with the tenants of the Huangzhuang, and 1.6 million stone grain will be collected."

"Qingling's 1.5 million taels, about 440,000 taels, the gang of people in the Ministry of Industry, if they are according to their price, about 120,000 taels."

This person opened his mouth and said slowly, which made Zhu Youzhen's eyes light up, and he looked the person in front of him up and down.

I saw that this person was less than one meter eight tall, with some sorrow between his eyebrows, and he looked square, and he was a good person.

Looking at him, Zhu Youzhen also smiled and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Your Highness, lowly Lu Jianxing." The man bowed, and Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Wenzhao after hearing it:

"This person is good, let's raise the general flag first."

"Yes......" Lu Wenzhao hurriedly got up and nodded, and Lu Jianxing also hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted loudly:

"Thank you for your support!"

"Okay...... Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said:

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and you and those under you who settle accounts will pay fifty taels each."

"The account book is good, if you make meritorious service in the future, it is not impossible to be promoted to 100 households."

"I must do my best and do a good job!" Lu Jianxing bowed his head and thanked loudly, and never put down his hand.

"All right, let's get out." Zhu Youzhen bowed slightly, and when Lu Wenzhao saw this, he also slowly retreated with someone.

After they all retreated, Zhu Youzhen got up and walked to the account book that had just been calculated by Jinyiwei and took a look, and while looking, he said:

"How many tenants are there under Cao Huachun and the Imperial Horse Prison?"

Hearing this, Cao Huachun stepped forward, bowed slightly and replied:

"There are more than 7,400 groom tenants in the pastures, about 37,000 people."

"There are 54,300 tenants of cultivated land, about 270,000 people."

"Huangzhuang is a little larger, with more than 274,500 households, about 1.37 million people."

"It's quite a lot...... After Zhu Youzhen heard it, he closed the booklet in his hand, turned around and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the cultivated land of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the land of Huangzhuang are more than 2.15 million mu in total, right, and the grassland is 420,000?"

"Exactly, Your Highness is really unforgettable." Cao Huachun did not forget to flatter, while Zhu Youzhen said:

"How many acres of grassland do you need for a military horse? How many horses and livestock does the Horse Warden have? ”

As soon as his question came out, Wang Chengen took the lead and replied:

"A military horse needs thirty acres of pasture, twenty-five acres for stallions, and twenty acres for mares."

"At present, there are more than 3,200 military horses, more than 1,400 stallions, and more than 6,700 mares in the Imperial Horse Prison."

"In addition, six thousand four hundred and thirty-two oxen, and twenty-four thousand sheep."

"There were also more than 300 camels, 34 elephants from Siam, and 645 donkeys."

"There are more than 26,000 ploughing cattle, more than 7,000 horses, 14,000 horses, and more than 4,000 donkeys in the imperial village."

Wang Chengen said a series of data, but Zhu Youjian only cared about the data of ploughing cattle and military horses, stallions, horses, and horses.

Ploughing cattle represent the liberated productive forces, military horses represent war potential, stallions represent the number of newborn horses per year, and pulling horses and horses represent the logistics support of the army.

There are a lot of land resources in the Imperial Horse Guard, and more than 3,000 military horses are really too few.

Military horses can be raised with full-bodied, nutritious beans.

Stallions, mares, and cattle can be raised on pasture.

It's just that according to the current data of more than 3,000 military horses and nearly 100,000 other livestock, the pasture of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is simply not enough.

"In the future, military horses will be fed with soybeans, and the number of horses should not be limited every year, and more horses should be raised."

"420,000 pastures can't support 100,000 livestock, so let the tenants of the Huangzhuang and the cultivated land pull weeds to feed them."

"Doesn't the Imperial Horse Supervisor still have two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver? Take the silver to the foot of Yan Mountain, and buy more wasteland for pasture. ”

It is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to take the military horse from the Taifu Temple, he can only start from the imperial horse supervisor under his own hands.

Since the pasture is not enough, then buy!

Cao Huachun, who was next to him, heard his words and hurriedly said:

"The wasteland at the foot of Yanshan is cheap, and the large piece of wasteland on the Miyun side is only four taels of silver per acre."

"If His Highness needs it, I'm afraid that the officials there can be cheaper, and it is not a problem to buy 60,000 acres."

"But Your Highness doesn't need to buy it, because of the trouble in the north in recent years, a lot of slopes have been wasted."

"Especially near Baima Pass and Shijiaying, there are a lot of sloping lands."

"As long as His Highness speaks, he will say that the grassland of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is insufficient, and Long Live will inevitably allocate the slopes in that area to the Imperial Horse Supervisor."
