Chapter 128: Recruiting Troops and Buying Horses, Hoarding Food!

"Wu Zetian?"

"Who is Wu Zetian?"

Cao Jie was stunned, for this name, it was the first time she had heard of it!

"Wu Zetian is an emperor-like woman!"

Lin Yang chuckled, hugged Cao Jie in his chest, and said lightly!

Wu Zetian is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and there are still more than 300 years before the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Jie and others naturally don't know who Wu Zetian is!

"Husband, you know so much!"

"It's really erudite, and it's a rich five-car learner!"

When Cao Jie heard this, he snuggled in Lin Yang's arms, his eyes full of love!

"Ma'am, I know more than that!"

"I recently thought of a new pose!"

Lin Yang laughed evilly, picked up Cao Jie and walked towards the bed!

"Husband, you are so bad!"

"Again?"

In Cao Jie's exclamations and coquettish voices, Lin Yang threw Cao Jie on the bed, then blew out the candle and pounced on Cao Jie!

This night, naturally, was another sleepless night!

It was late at night, and everyone had already slept, but in Lin Yang's room, it was singing every night!

The next day, Lin Yang and the others got up with Cao Jie!

At this time, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were sitting at the stone table under the locust tree in the City Lord's Mansion chatting!

"Husband, it's already three poles in the morning, have you and Sister Cao Jie just gotten up?"

When Lin Yang and Cao Jie came out, Xiao Qiao covered his mouth and chuckled, with a bit of playfulness in his eyes!

And Da Qiao was flickering on the side, not daring to look directly at Lin Yang, and two clouds of flying xia flew on his face!

Da Qiao naturally knew why Lin Yang and Cao Jie got up so late!

Now she's an outsider here listening to this kind of thing, which really makes her a little shy!

"Of course, yesterday Cao Jie and I were reading Yan Huajing!"

"Yan Huajing is obscure, we read it until late at night, and then we fell asleep!"

When Lin Yang saw that Da Qiao was there, he just played haha!

"What Yan Huajing?"

Cao Jie glared at Lin Yang fiercely on the side, and murmured softly in his heart!

"Husband, the meal is ready!"

"You and Sister Cao Jie are going to eat!"

"My sister and I have already eaten it!"

Xiao Qiao also rolled his eyes secretly, what Yan Huajing? It's just nonsense!

"Lord!"

"This is the distribution map outside Jingzhou City!"

At this moment, Hua An came with a drawing and hurriedly handed it to Lin Yang!

"Madam, you go to dinner first, I'll look at the drawings first!"

Lin Yang saw that the drawings had come, which made Lin Yang a little interested!

Now that the main personnel for the construction of the hospital have been found, it is time to determine the location for the construction!

"It's almost noon, let's eat together in a while!"

After Cao Jie finished speaking, he sat with Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, chatting about some women's things!

Lin Yang took this drawing, returned to the room, and studied it carefully!

An hour later, Lin Yang finally found a good place!

"Luanfeng Slope, three miles away from the south gate of Jingzhou, has a wide terrain here, and it is the intersection of roads!"

"There's a moat in the east, and a cliff in the west!"

"If the Sun-Liu coalition army comes to Jingzhou, this is definitely the only way to go!"

Lin Yang looked through it carefully and finally found a wonderful location!

This location is a marching crossing, and there is a natural barrier around it, and it is only two miles away from Jingzhou!

If you build a hospital here, it is not only convenient, but also offensive and defensible!

If the Sun and Liu coalition forces come and don't want to take this road, then they must definitely bypass the cliff and walk a few more miles!

The hospital is too big, so naturally it can't be built in Jingzhou, but only outside the city!

And Luanfengpo in Lin Yangxiang is definitely a good place!

"It's Luan Fengpo!"

Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, and then decided to use Luanfengpo as the construction site of the hospital!

"Lord, Jingzhou Mu Pang Tong is here to see you!"

At this moment, Hua An came again and said respectfully!

"Let him in!"

After Lin Yang put away the drawings, he said slowly!

"Lord, the details I prepared overnight have come to fruition!"

"Jingxiang Nine Counties have a total of 100,000 taels of gold and silver at this time, and there are 30,000 deniers of grain in the warehouse!"

"There are three hundred and sixty-one officials in Jingxiang Nine Counties, and a total of 361,833 civilians!"

"There are only three thousand sergeants in Jingzhou, and there are more than seven thousand people in the other nine counties!"

“……”

When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but hurriedly report it to Lin Yang!

"Huh? Only 100,000 taels? There are only 30,000 deniers of grain in the storehouse? ”

"There are only 10,000 sergeants in the entire Jingxiang Nine Counties?"

When Lin Yang heard this, his cheeks couldn't help twitching faintly!

Cao Cao led his troops to conquer Jiangdong and took away a large number of men and horses from the nine counties of Jingxiang!

But I never thought that the only 3,000 soldiers left in Jingzhou were too few!

The grain is only 30,000 deniers, which is not a lot for a sergeant!

It can be said that the current Jingzhou is an empty shell!

"Cao Cao, this old fox, is really amazing!"

"Why don't you leave me some too?"

Lin Yang cursed Cao Cao in his heart, wouldn't he want to reorganize Jingzhou now?

"Shi Yuan, your current task is to recruit troops and horses in the nine counties of Jingxiang and hoard food!"

"Jingzhou has 100,000 taels of silver, and I am allocating 500,000 taels to you to buy grain and recruit troops!"

Lin Yang thought in his heart and sighed!

Now there are too few sergeants in Jingzhou, and we must increase our efforts to recruit!

Don't look at 600,000 taels of silver, it's a lot, but if you recruit troops and buy horses and hoard grain, 600,000 taels will soon be gone!

According to historical records, during the Three Kingdoms period, resources were scarce, and food was also in short supply, and food was definitely the top priority!

Many soldiers join the army for a bite to eat, and if they have military salaries, they are pitiful!

But even so, a sergeant costs at least twenty taels of silver a year!

Aside from military salaries, grain is ridiculously expensive, and a large part of 600,000 taels has to buy grain!

"Yes!"

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he left directly!

"Hua'an, you immediately issue a notice to recruit coolies and ask for physical fitness!"

"The salary is five hundred and one hundred dollars a day!"

"You're buying some pickaxes, shovels and stuff!"

"I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver for your expenses!"

Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, and then began to prepare!

"Yes!"

Hua'an didn't know what Lin Yang was going to do, so he left directly to prepare!

Lin Yang called Yuan Xu and Li Dayou again, and asked the two to recruit blacksmiths to build a forge and a site for making concrete!

And then let Zhang Zhongjing prepare the manpower as a nurse!

When Lin Yang's preparations were completed, all the resources obtained from Anhui County had been exhausted!

This made Lin Yang a little helpless, he had now become a poor bastard again in an instant!

Now the hospital has not been built, just starting, it has cost nearly one million, so the project of this hospital is huge, you can imagine!

"I don't have nearly a thousand taels of silver stored in my system!"

"But that's not enough!"

"Looks like I'm going to get some money!"

Lin Yang calculated in his heart that he needed to prepare money as soon as possible for the construction of the hospital!
