Civil affairs, to be honest, Chen Wang doesn't know much about it, and Wang Yuankang is basically managing it.

Of course, in terms of finance, a series of important positions such as managing the treasury and accounting are all people directly appointed by Chen Wang.

These are all positions of critical joints, and naturally it is impossible to hand them all over to Wang Yuankang.

Many things have to be decided at the beginning, and at the beginning, Chen Wang already had a framework and made a good distribution.

Tang Shiping was in charge of the military and politics, Wang Yuankang was in charge of the civil affairs, and Hu Zhiyi was in charge of the finances.

As for the military power, it was firmly held in the hands of Chen Wang.

Chen Wang put down the document in his hand, and now that the development of Hanzhongwei is on the right track, it is enough to maintain a balance between income and expenditure.

At the beginning, Chen Wang thought about many ways to make money, such as boiling nitrate, perfume and so on.

But in the end, these methods were not used except for boiling nitrate.

Saltpeter is not only a commodity that can be traded, but also a strategic material, and naturally the more the merrier, so the method of boiling nitrate is used.

But the plan to make perfume and other goods was eventually shelved by Chen Wang.

Commodities are not equal to money, and in order for commodities to become money, there must be a market where commodities can digest them.

The number of people in Hanzhong Mansion is limited, and the rich Haoqiang has been killed by many rogues in the past few years, and the market is very small.

Hanzhong Mansion is located at the junction of Sichuan, Huguang and Shaanxi provinces, surrounded by mountains, so the traffic is inconvenient, and the transportation cost is bound to be much higher.

Sichuan has been turbulent several times, and it has long been as rich as it was when Wanli was in the past, and the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the transportation cost has increased sharply, so it is naturally not suitable for the market.

Although Huguang is also wealthy, but in recent years, there have been endless wars, Yunxiang and other places have been fighting everywhere in the past few years, that is, in the year when the turmoil was quelled, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai also set up cards on the trade routes to collect heavy taxes, and naturally they could not be sold.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan region was extremely rich, and the market was indeed large enough.

However, if it is to be transported from Hanzhong to Jiangnan, it also needs to pass through Huguang, and Yunxiang is still inseparable.

Moreover, the situation in Jiangnan is complicated, and there will be many unexpected situations.

Not to mention Shaanxi, which has been suffering from natural and man-made disasters for more than ten consecutive years, what they urgently need most is food, not a commodity.

And in the back, Chen Wang became the deputy chief soldier of Hanzhong Town.

Chen Wangcai discovered that the most profitable business in the world is still a business without capital.

Now he can have so many mines and acres under his hands, relying on the authority in his hands, relying on steel knives.

The mainland cannot do maritime trade, and the income from mining, salt, and grain is the real majority.

Now the sale of private salt in Hanzhong Mansion has also been fully covered by Chen Wang.

Those who sell illicit salt at the bottom have to pay a tax to Chen Wang without exception.

Those caravans arriving from various provinces naturally had to send Chen Wang a Chengyi, which had been an unspoken rule for a long time.

"How much money is left in the treasury?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Wang asked Hu Zhiyi.

"There are eight hundred and ninety-seven taels of gold in the treasury, and there are still eleven three thousand three hundred and fifty-six taels of silver."

"The monthly expenditure is now about 5,000 taels, which is mainly used to build cities and repair houses, hoard military rations, buy livestock, build water conservancy, and make ordnance."

Hu Zhiyi took an account book from the hands of the guards behind him and handed it to Chen Wang.

"The number of soldiers in Hanzhong Town has increased, and the imperial court has issued a military salary of 13,400 people, which is the same as our situation in Jiliao at the beginning, and the monthly amount is insufficient, and there are eight or nine thousand taels of money."

In fact, in Qi Jiguang's era, everyone's generals and colonels knew that Qi Jun could fight, even the Liaodong Army at that time, they had to admit that according to Qi Jiguang's training, the soldiers and generals under his command could fight.

But except for Qi Jiguang, who trained like this, no one trained like this.

One of the deepest reasons for this is that most of the battalions and towns are not guaranteed to pay enough for their military salaries.

Qi Jiguang was able to get a full military salary, also because Zhang Juzheng was standing behind him and supported him many times.

"These eight or nine thousand taels are still taken care of by people above, and the other camps and towns have less than us."

Chen Wang took the account book, just glanced at it and put it down.

"The 7.3 million taels collected from the training salary have been stripped down layer by layer from the Jingshi, and half of them can be regarded as those masters who are officials have a little conscience."

Before Yang Sichang went south this time, he made a suggestion to Chongzhen.

It is believed that although there are many soldiers in each town, they are too scattered, scattered in various cities, and the guerrillas, garrisons, and staff generals each manage a battalion of soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Yang Sichang asked for "training salary" on the grounds of training the border army and training elite soldiers.

In June of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court officially ordered to increase the salary.

The so-called training of salaries and the practice of characters is because of the use of salaries and silver, drawing border soldiers and training militia.

An additional levy of one cent of silver per mu was levied, and a total of 7.3 million taels were levied nationwide.

Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi, Yansui, Ningxia and other towns each dispatched elite soldiers in the army for training, and the commander-in-chief, governor, and governor directly led the training.

According to the decree, a total of 730,000 soldiers should be trained in each town, and 730,000 elite soldiers should be trained.

What is the situation in the end, Chen Wang couldn't be clearer.

"The total number of training is more than 730,000, and it is remarkable that more than 70,000 elite soldiers can be trained."

can really train 730,000 elite soldiers, not to mention any Jiannu Liukou, most of the world can be defeated.

The idea is good, but how can such a decree be implemented?

Each town has nothing more than falsely reported a number of military training figures, reorganized the troops at will, and coped with the situation.

With the help of the name of training, the place can search more desperately.

Seven or three hundred thousand taels were collected from the state treasury, and more than 10 million taels were collected at the local level, and only three or four million taels were distributed to the towns.

After arriving in the towns, the generals at all levels are detained, and I am afraid that they will be completely divided before they can be distributed to the hands of the soldiers.

Liao salary is like this, the millions of Liao salary is simply distributed to the hands of ordinary big-headed soldiers, which is only enough to barely support their families.

Everyone is already surprised, and these things are well known in the officialdom.

"The monthly increase is about 9,000 taels, and according to the previous specifications, it can just be used to pay the military salary of the current general under the barracks."

During the period of stay, Hu Zhiyi has been in charge of finance and military affairs in Hanzhong, and his skills such as arithmetic have naturally improved a lot.

Originally, the standard for single military salary expenditure was three taels and one month for cavalry and one and a half months for infantry.

After the restructuring, the rating is still fourth-class, the infantry is two taels per month of the upper class, one and a half of the standard, one or two of the inferior class, and those who fail to pass the test are expelled from the army three times, and the cavalry is also divided into four classes, and the military salary is added or subtracted according to the example of the infantry.

The imperial court now set the number of troops for Chen Wangzheng's barracks to be 5,000.

In view of the actual situation, Chen Wang was not prepared to recruit more cavalry, and still only kept one cavalry, and the remaining four troops recruited infantry.

For the cavalry of one part and the infantry of the fourth division, the monthly salary expenditure was exactly nine thousand taels of silver.

"The general has figured out how to distribute the salaries of the rest of the battalions?"

Hu Zhiyi frowned slightly, and asked in a condensed voice.

"Is it full or ......?"

The town of Hanzhong gave 13,400 soldiers.

Huang Long and Zhang Er were the new guerrillas of the imperial court, each accounting for 1,005 troops, and after crossing these 3,000, there were still 10,000 and 400 left.

The quota of the regular barracks under Chen Wang's direct command is 5,000, the quota of the general's reinforcement battalion is 2,700, and the two reinforcement battalions are 5,400.

Chen Wang gently knocked on the table and asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, the original military salary allocated by Hanzhong Town every month was only more than 8,000 pairs."

"The general remembers well."

Hu Zhiyi nodded and replied.

At the beginning, Hanzhong was a key area, and the newly built camp town, so the military salary issued was quite sufficient, and there were not many deductions.

"Eight thousand taels ......"

Chen Wang lowered his head and looked at the documents on the desktop showing income and expenditure, although the current monthly income is positive, the monthly surplus is only about 1,000 taels.

If it is paid in full, then the expenditure will inevitably exceed the income.

There are only more than 10,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, and it won't last long at all.

"If the rest of the money is only given to two reinforcement battalions, it will only need to fill the gap of about five or six hundred taels per month."

The military salary of the reinforcement battalion under Chen Gong's command must be sufficient, even if the three departments train infantry, the monthly salary expenditure must be more than 4,000 taels, plus the personal guard cavalry and the necessary reconnaissance cavalry, how can it cost 5,000 taels a month.

On Zhou Yumao's side, the troops have also been reorganized, and there is no expansion for the time being, there are still only more than 2,000 people, mostly infantry, only a few scout cavalry, plus some domestic cavalry, a month's military salary is about 3,500 taels.

Two reinforcement battalions are already more than eight thousand taels.

"Because of the large number of cavalry in the two guerrilla battalions, if the military salary is paid in full......"

Hu Zhiyi's words were not finished, but the meaning was already very clear.

The guerrilla battalion under the command of Zhang Er, a thousand roosters, and Yidougu Huanglong, added up to almost 4,000 people, which exceeded a lot of troops.

However, even if it is distributed according to the number of soldiers, a battalion will be issued at least more than 4,000 taels in full, because there are quite a lot of cavalry under the command of the two.

To be honest, Hu Zhiyi is a little disdainful of Zhang Er and Huang Long.

It was not because Zhang Er and Huang Long betrayed Gao Yingxiang and betrayed the owner for glory.

It was because the quality of the soldiers under the command of Zhang Er and Huang Long was too poor and their combat strength was weak.

Zhang Er and Huang Long themselves were born in rogues, and the soldiers they brought were all rogues.

It is said that there are thousands of cavalry each, but in fact, there are only a few hundred people who can really be counted as cavalry, and the rest are at most infantry on horseback.

gave them all the full amount of military salaries according to the specifications of the cavalry, Hu Zhiyi really felt a little unfair.

"The two reinforcement battalions are all paid in full, and the guerrilla battalions led by Zhang Er and Huang Long are also paid in full."

Hu Zhiyi looked puzzled, a little hesitant, and wanted to speak, but Chen Wang had already made a decision.

"I know what you're trying to say."

Chen Wang raised his hand to stop Hu Zhiyi, who wanted to speak.

"The full amount is paid, and naturally it is not that they will pay as many people as they report."

"I have already told Zhang Er and Huang Long to send someone over to help reorganize it, and they should also come down."

"All the unqualified cavalry will be turned into infantry, the unqualified infantry will be directly eliminated, and the qualified ones will be paid again."

"The original quota of the two reinforcement battalions is 1,500 soldiers, but they will be paid according to the military salary of 1,500 people, and the full amount will be paid according to the reorganized infantry and cavalry."

This time, Zhang Er and Huang Long happened to be placed under their own command, and Chen Wang naturally planned to make the best use of them and use them to do some dirty work.

Reorganization is to gather the ranks, strengthen combat effectiveness, and improve control.

The issuance of sufficient military salaries is naturally an invitation to buy people's hearts.

Since ancient times, it has been uneven without suffering from few.

Zhang Er and Huang Long were born in exile and were ostracized, and they have always been treated badly.

Equal treatment makes them feel respected.

Just like before, Chen Wang only showed a little kindness to him, and the two were flattered.

The guerrilla camp led by Zhang Er and Huang Long is the two sharp blades selected by Chen Wang, perhaps it is more appropriate to say that they are executioners.

"Obey."

Chen Wang's words were already very clear, and Hu Zhiyi naturally did not refute them.

However, in addition to the matter of military pay, there are other things to deal with.

"How is the reorganization of the army arranged, or is it in accordance with the regulations of the previous army expansion?"

Chen Wang thought for a moment, then nodded.

"There are 3,300 veterans at present, and they will be handled in accordance with the original regulations......"

Hu Zhiyi got the answer, and then reported after the calculation.

Originally, Chen Wang trained a total of 6,300 soldiers and horses in six divisions, Chen Wang took away more than 3,000 people, and the rest of them remained in Hanzhong Mansion.

"The main barracks are supplemented with 2,000 people, Chen Gongling's reinforcement battalion is as many as 1,300 people, and the rest of the soldiers are supplemented with new soldiers."

Chen Wang's current main barracks did not have 5,000 people.

This time, King Qin's Northern Expedition, the 1st Cavalry Thousand Headquarters suffered the greatest losses, 377 people were killed in the battle, 23 people were seriously wounded, and the remaining 48 seriously wounded were only 21 people who could finally return to the barracks after recovering from their injuries.

Since then, many of the minor wounded have died due to various problems such as deterioration of wounds, and many others have died of the disease.

The 1st Cavalry Thousand Headquarters originally had a total of 1,056 people when they followed Chen Wang north, and there were more than 600 people left after the battle of Qingshan Pass.

Now only five hundred and thirty-seven remained.

The 2nd and 3rd Infantry Thousand Headquarters also reduced the total number of troops to 400 after several battles, and only more than 1,500 people remained.

If you make up for 2,000 people, the number of veterans will be 3,500, and you only need to make up another 1,500 new soldiers, and your combat strength will not drop too much.

Chen Gongling's reinforcement battalion, with a total of 2,700 soldiers, was supplemented with 1,300 veterans, and the ratio of recruits was almost one to one.

"The first cavalry thousand headquarters, the cavalry is short, select a batch from the reconnaissance sequence, and then pick another horse from the veteran good riding skills, I have already done statistics before, and it will not be a problem to restore to the scale of 1,000 people......"

"You can make your own decisions about these side items."

Chen Wang raised his hand again and stopped Hu Zhiyi's report.

Hu Zhiyi is steady, capable of handling, and has always been well-planned, which is completely different from Chen Gong.

Therefore, Chen Wang is also willing to give Hu Zhiyi more autonomy.

"The most important thing in this reorganization is the Judge Advocate General's Office."

Chen Wang turned his head to look at Hu Zhili who was standing beside Hu Zhiyi.

The supervision office that was originally set up in the county has now begun to be standardized.

After much consideration, when Chen Wang was in King Qin, he changed the name of the Supervision Office to the Military Justice Department.

With the rise of status and the increasing of authority, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention, and the renaming of the Supervision Office to the Military Judge Advocate General's Office can make people look at it with habitual thinking, and then alleviate a lot of unnecessary suspicions.

"Zhili, your character is not suitable for leading troops into battle, so I completely handed over the Military Law Department to you this time."

Hu Zhili's personality is quite withdrawn, he is not very sympathetic, and he acts in a straightforward manner, and all of them on the battlefield are based on regulations, and he is not flexible enough in battle.

In this way, you can be a middle-level officer, but you can't be the commander of a battalion.

Being in charge of military law, supervision and other affairs is the most suitable thing for Hu Zhili.

"This time, the military judges are directly set up under the banner, each flag has a flag military judge, each bureau has a bureau military judge, each division has a military judge, and so on."

"There are military judges under the subordinates, and there are military judges under the battalions, and in our Hanzhong Army, the chief officers of the teams to which the military judges belong enjoy the same level of treatment."

"All military judges first receive literacy education, and then after being assigned to the battalion, in addition to being in charge of propaganda and military law, they are also responsible for teaching ordinary soldiers to read and write."

"Judges of the division of the army set up a literacy hall in the department to teach the soldiers to read and write, and the judges of the banner and bureau are responsible for teaching and explaining in peacetime."

Previously, due to the constraints of conditions, the presence of the supervision office has not been strong and has little effect.

Now, with the expansion of the army and the development of its power, the Supervision Office must play its due role.

Chen Wang has already laid out a path for the development of the current Military Judge Advocate General's Office.

"Zhili, you serve as the judge of the general army as a guerrilla in the Chinese army, and you are in charge of all matters of military justice."

"Under the Judge Advocate General's Office, a supervision center has been added at the same time, and all the soldiers you selected before have been transferred to the supervision center."

In addition to being in charge of military justice and preaching, another responsibility of the Military Justice Department is similar to that of Jinyiwei......
