Chapter 102: Cleaning up the miscellaneous soldiers
In the Wangjiazhuang school grounds, Liu Yan moved a chair and sat on the high platform, and Yue Ming, the chief flag officer on the side, was taking the roll call according to the reorganized roster, and personally put the grain card in the hands of each dun army.
This roster contains the old and weak soldiers and horses that are about to be eliminated, and Liu Yan plans to send everyone a month's salary and rations first, and then send everyone home.
Miao Shao stood beside Liu Yan, he just watched quietly, at this time Yue Ming was naming an old army, the old army came up, I am afraid that they are all sixty years old, with a gray beard, looking at him like this, can he still fight?
Yue Ming handed the grain card to him, and the old soldier cracked and laughed, and his front teeth were long gone.
Miao Shao suddenly asked him: "Whose food do you eat, and who do you die for?" ”
The old soldier opened his mouth and smiled: "The little one eats Lord Liu's food, and the villain's whole family works hard for Lord Liu!" ”
Hearing him say this, Miao Shao nodded and stopped asking.
Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan next to him glanced at each other, and both of them realized that something was wrong in their hearts.
When everyone was watching what Liu Yan should do, Liu Yan ordered Xu Ming to go to Wangjiazhuang Fort to pick up a scene, and it didn't take long to see a shocking scene, only to see a grain truck entering the school yard, and then filling the warehouse, Liu Yan secretly transported enough food for everyone to eat for two months, as well as a large amount of silver!
Everyone was amazed, sure enough, the new manager has a way, for a while, everyone in Wangjiazhuang is at ease, it seems that in the future, they can live a good life like the military households of Dapanbao, the dull atmosphere in Wangjiazhuang is empty, and there is a sense of vitality for the first time.
Only Liu Yu, Sun Mingyuan and Feng Changyi were preoccupied all day long, and the three of them didn't expect Liu Yan to know how to manipulate people's hearts so well, and not only had a strong army in his hands, but also a large amount of money and food.
In just a few days, Liu Yan's prestige in the fort has increased rapidly, and now when he walks on the street, many military households are cheering at him: "Lord Liu, Lord Liu." ”
A few days later, Liu Yan mobilized the military households in the fort to carry out a general cleaning, and everyone swept everywhere inside and outside the house, up and down the streets, and all over the ditches, and finally swept out dozens of truckloads of garbage. Looking at this garbage, everyone was also surprised, they didn't expect that there was so much garbage around them.
After the cleaning, all parts of Wangjiazhuang Fort were clean, especially on the bluestone slabs of the three main streets, and some water was scattered, which was more refreshing. Although the military households are still in shabby clothes, but walking on the street, that kind of temperament has obviously become different, and Wangjiazhuang has a tendency to become a large version of Dapanbao.
On this day, the chief flag officer Miao Shao and Xu Ming had just reported to Liu Yanyu about the dismissal of the old and weak dun army in various places, and now it has been basically completed, and then the director Zhao Min brought the statistical records of the young and strong Dingkou in Wangjiazhuang, which is the document that Zhao Min has worked overtime to sort out in the past few days.
I saw Zhao Min respectfully bowing to Liu Yan, and then smiled at Liu Yan and said, "My lord, the document has been counted." Wangjiazhuang is all together, including artisan households, there are 2,315 households and 5,417 mouths. Among them, there were 2,812 men, 1,998 men, and 814 men. ”
"Two thousand six hundred and five women, one thousand seven hundred and fifteen strong women, and eight hundred and ninety young girls. According to statistics, there are 1,437 young and strong men in Wangjiazhuang! ”
Liu Yan sighed, took the book and looked through it carefully, this Zhao Min is still very careful in his affairs, the year of each household, the military footage, men and women, Cheng Ding, etc. are all remarked one by one, all the situation is clear at a glance, and he is a very capable person.
In fact, the population of Wangjiazhuang is not small, at least in the establishment of 100 households, it is already densely populated.
It's just that Liu Yan's stalls everywhere are too big now, and the newly formed dun army alone occupies more than 1,100 young and strong people, plus the remaining temporary dun army in various places, which has basically squeezed out the young and strong labor force everywhere in Wangjiazhuang.
While Liu Yan was watching carefully, Zhao Min just looked at Liu Yan's face carefully.
After a long time, Liu Yan closed the Chinese book in his hand, and he said to Zhao Min with satisfaction: "Zhao is responsible for doing things well, and I Liu Yan will be rewarded for my merits, so you will receive double money this month." ”
Zhao Min was overjoyed, he thanked Liu Yan, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, in this statistical book, those students under his subordinates have also contributed a lot, and they can be regarded as the left arms and right arms of their subordinates." ”
Liu Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect these students of Professor Zhao Min to be put to use so quickly.
Zhao Min explained a few words with a smile, it turned out that although these students had not followed him for a long time, they were very good at counting and quite accomplished in logic. This statistical booklet is indeed a lot of contribution, and the remarks of each household are the proposals of those students.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "In this case, those students should also add two buckets of rice this month." In addition, Director Zhao thinks that there is one that can be promoted, and he can also recommend it to me. ”
Zhao Minhuan happily hugged his fists and took his life.
Liu Yan said to Zhao Min again: "In the future, I will ask Director Zhao to worry more about the affairs of the documents in the hundred households." ”
Zhao Min smiled and arched his hand and said: "The adult is serious, and it is an honor for the subordinates to be able to serve the adults." ”
After the census of Wangjiazhuang was published, Liu Yan asked Chen Xun, the chief flag officer, to select some of the old and weak men and women in the fort to reclaim the wasteland, which could be regarded as supporting the military camp.
The original tuntian fields of the forts and the fire road piers were already terminally ill, and Liu Yan did not expect the original tun chiefs and officers to manage the tun forts well. At present, Wangjiazhuang, as well as the fields of the subordinate tunbao, involve the interests of a large number of officers and heroes, Liu Yan did not have time to wear and tear with them, so he planned to open up new fields and replan the tuntian of Wangjiazhuang. In each tun fort, if there are talents, they can be slowly absorbed into the fort in the future.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Yan compromised with those commanders, but he didn't want to make extraneous troubles when preparing for the Jiannu War, and after Wangjiazhuang successfully passed the Jiannu military disaster this year, Liu Yan would definitely find an opportunity to reorganize the farmland matters everywhere.
Along the periphery of Wangjiazhuang, there is a large amount of wasteland that can be reclaimed, and Liu Yan is ready to let the chief flag officer Yue Ming organize manpower and cattle ploughing at the same time as this year's spring ploughing, and first reclaim a part of the land. The cost of rations needed to reclaim the fields, Liu Yan asked Yue Ming to do it, he would find a way. Judging from the current income of Dapanbao, Liu Yan can still support the expenses of reclamation of surrounding wasteland and construction of some water conservancy facilities.
In the first stage, Liu Yan planned to reclaim 3,000 acres of land first, dig irrigation wells according to the Dapanbao method, and then divide the fields into households, first giving 30 acres of land to each of the 100 households in Wangjiazhuang. As for whether these fields should pay grain to the top in the future, Liu Yan will go to the Qianhu Office in Xiahe Village to do some activities, the defense official Zhang Hailin values himself, and there is Wang Weizhen, an old official, Liu Yan hopes to get a policy of not paying grain for three years for the newly cultivated fields in Wangjiazhuang.
Everyone has heard more or less about Dapanbao, and everyone is envious. At this time, Wangjiazhuang also had to open up wasteland and reclaim fields like Dapanbao and make irrigation wells. I also heard that you can eat enough for work, and there will be fields and cattle to share in the future. For a while, everyone was scrambling, just revolving around the chief flag officer Yue Ming, hoping to choose himself to work.
Liu Yan handed over the matter of Tuntian to Yue Ming to be responsible, and the training of the existing soldiers and horses, as well as the training of the remaining old dun army, depended on Chen Xun, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Xu Ming, Miao Shao, and Shen Tuo, the six chief flag officers.
In the blink of an eye, on April 10, Liu Yan ordered Miao Shao to concentrate all the remaining 137 dun soldiers in the main fort of the Wang family on the school ground.
These people are all young and strong men from sixteen to forty years old, and Liu Yan is going to train them all into a new army in the future, and Shen Tuo's army is not bad, and he can use the dun army of Huangshandun as the foundation, and then train a sentry of men and horses.
According to the rules of Dapanbao, after they formed the army, they could eat enough every day, and there was a higher military salary than elsewhere, and their families could be divided into 50 acres of land, cattle and farm tools, and free food in the first year.
These dun soldiers will become full-time soldiers, and their wives and children will work in the fields. Liu Yan didn't have time for them to plough and practice, and after a few months of training, Liu Yan would take them out to suppress the bandits, so that these dun armies could grow rapidly in the fierce battle, so as to meet the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, which was about to go south in the future.
And next to these dun armies are Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan, the two chief flag officers. After some retrenchment, not only were the two of their families directly incorporated into the dun army by Liu Yan, but most of the dun army under the two were also dismissed, and now the two of them stood below with gloomy faces, wanting to secretly recruit some family members again, but found that there was no one available.
Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan also had no choice, now the young and strong population in Wangjiazhuang was basically controlled by Liu Yan, especially Wangjiazhuang wanted to reclaim new fields, and each new army family could be divided into fifty acres of land. The first year was also free of grain, and in the second and third years, only one bucket and two buckets of grain were levied, which was too attractive to them, and no one was willing to follow Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan anymore.
However, Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan are not good people, before Liu Yan gathered people to check the training results, the two had already connected several subordinates in series, and were ready to put on a good show for Liu Yan here.
At this time, Liu Yan ordered Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan to lead the team to drill the queue, only to see the two of them walking out listlessly and slowly, and then shouted a few orders weakly, but heard several dun soldiers shouting loudly in the queue.
"The master of the management team has dismissed many brothers in vain, why don't you see the adults dismissing the men and horses of Dapan Fort?"
"I'm going to ask for a talk for the dismissed brother, please come down and speak!"
Soon, the crowd in the school yard was in a commotion, Xu Ming and Miao Shao were immediately furious, and they were about to take people down to suppress them, but they were stopped by Liu Yan.
I saw Liu Yan say to Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan: "Those are your subordinates, you two go over and deal with it." ”
Sun Mingyuan snorted coldly and stood there without speaking, but Liu Yu said with a smile: "Don't blame the adults, now the adults have laid off many brothers, which makes everyone feel cold, and there is no way for the subordinates, so they can't stop people from talking, right?" ”
Liu Yan said with a smile when he heard this: "Okay, very good!" ”
After speaking, Liu Yan got up and took a few steps forward, and then said loudly: "What kind of dun army are those dun troops eliminated by this official, you all know how to go into battle with the old and weak soldiers!" Since you are making trouble here, you are not listening to orders, and what should you do with those in the army who do not listen to orders? ”
Miao Shao and Xu Ming on the side shouted loudly in unison: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan were suddenly startled, they didn't believe that Liu Yan would kill people as soon as they came up.
But the two of them were wrong, and now Liu Yan wants to quickly integrate the resources of Wangjiazhuang by thunderous means, and no one can be allowed to make trouble.
I saw Liu Yan say angrily: "Arrest those few people who disturbed the school field, collided with the officials, and kept giving orders, and beheaded them on the spot!" ”
"Order!"
Xu Ming and Miao Shao had already held back the fire in their stomachs, and rushed into the crowd with a few subordinates, and dragged out the three early Dun soldiers to Wuhuada.
Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment, and when the three of them passed by Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan, they cried and cried for help.
"You made me do this, and now you two adults can't ignore it!"
"Liu Zongqi, help, I still have a family to raise, help me!"
But Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan have been suppressed by Liu Yan, and they are still standing there in a state of confusion, where is they in the mood to pay attention to these three unlucky guys.
I saw Miao Shao and Xu Ming raise their knives and directly behead the three dun soldiers on the spot, everyone present was silent, and Liu Yu and Sun Mingyuan were even more ugly.
Liu Yan looked at everyone, and then said coldly: "Today, the reorganization and dismantling of the Dun army in various places has come to an end, and this official warns you to practice hard, and don't be used as a gun by people with ulterior motives, otherwise these three will be the end!" ”
For a time, the dun army was silent.
