Chapter 108: Chapter Seven
The Mizhi Granary was first occupied by Zhao Dahai, with his cavalry brothers, and several other representatives.
Zhao Dahai was originally an official, and he was familiar with the layout of Mizhi. He didn't have anyone to give any advice and rushed to the warehouse.
Fortunately, due to the sudden defeat of the official army, the county magistrate and clerk did not have time to send people to carry out destruction. When Zhao Dahai came with his men, the clerks in charge of the warehouse didn't know what was going on, and they actually greeted Ruyi in Zhao Dahai, who was wearing official clothes, and thought it was the county magistrate who sent the troops to retrieve food and grass.
When Zhao Dahai revealed his identity, these clerks were left with only a limp as mud. For a moment, the entire warehouse was occupied intact by Zhao Dahai and other coalition forces.
When Buzanmui and the Allies came, everything was fine.
Following a clerk, counting the money and grain in the warehouse, and not getting mud, the leaders of each family were left with amazement.
The huge warehouses were densely packed with endless ends. Budshen Mud stood in front of a huge warehouse and ordered one of his personal soldiers to pick up a big knife and chop at the big lock. Opening a huge warehouse door, it immediately squirted out like a waterfall. At that time, Budshen Mudshen Mudshen Mudshen Mudshen Mudshen Mudshen, and a few were flooded by the torrent of wheat on the spot. It took a long time to pull out the brothers in a hurry. It looked so embarrassed, but no one made fun of them, and no one cheered and laughed. They all looked at them in a daze, looking at the wheat all over the ground, and they felt like they were crying.
People in the world suffer from severe droughts, but looking at the mountains of grain in this warehouse and the piles of silver in the warehouse, how many families are destroyed?
The clerk who was in charge of the warehouse was arrested and interrogated in the signing room.
The clerk was usually versatile, otherwise he would not have been able to get into the heavy area of the warehouse, a place with fat and oil. When he saw the big golden sword sitting in the hands of his hands, he kowtowed and called the king without waiting for everyone to shout.
Wuzhan was very satisfied with this kid's respect and was also complacent.
I remember that there were countless kowtows to myself since I was a sect for my ancestors, but there was no official who kowtowed to me. This was the first time. Even in previous years, some clerks were assigned by the officials to act on the mountain, which was quite arrogant. You should take the things you gave me to the high price. You should also treat the dirty things you brought to me at a high price, and you should also serve as a meal of wine and meat to the best of your ability. Finally, the guests would politely send them down the mountain. Once the stolen goods were sold, the government would naturally shirk everything and send people to attack. Although it was a bluff, I would also take out a few brothers as scapegoats, and then secretly send them filial piety to settle the matter.
How could the clerk who was originally high and now he was timid and dared not be careless about his own slightest disobedience?
Strength, this is the effect of strength. Now it is just a mob with tens of thousands of poles, so it has achieved such an effect. If I had 100,000 soldiers directly under my jurisdiction, I would have to kneel in front of me like a kitten.
Imagine the scene where I command a hundred thousand troops, the official army pointed to by the flags was destroyed, the money and food were piled up like a mountain, the people cheered and cheered. The magistrate and even the governor who were originally arrogant would kneel in front of me and praise hymns, and couldn't help but laugh proudly.
The allies didn't know it and burst into laughter.
He was proud of his complacent heart and asked loudly at the clerk: "You said, how much food is there in this warehouse? How much silver is there? From the real trick, if there is a lie, you will chop it up on the spot and use your head as a ball."
Although the clerk was afraid, he still smiled with a sweaty smile: "When you say that, how could you say anything in front of the king? The little one manages this warehouse for more than ten years—"
"All right, how much is it to talk about serious business?"
"Yes, I'll report it to several kings. In the account, there are now 270,165 stones and five dou of grain in the Mizhi warehouse."
Everyone took a deep breath. How big is this? How long does it take for them to eat and drink? Oh my God, this time I'm so excited.
At this moment, Lu Shi stepped into the door and was shocked when he heard this number. Xiao Xiaomizhi's grain tax could be collected in a year. You can imagine how many people's families would be destroyed?
You should know that in this era, not to mention the severe drought in the world, even the wheat yield per mu is only about two stones. There are also large areas outside the city that are classified as king fields, and those production must be handed over to the princes. In this Ming Dynasty, king fields will occupy half of the land.
The landlords and powerful people were even more serious, but they did not pay a grain of food under various excuses. Some people even recorded their land in the name of the landlords and gentry, and would rather pay 80% of the land rent to the landlords and gentry than be exploited by the government. The remaining common people are the source of taxes of these hundreds of thousands of stones, which can be imagined for the suffering of the common people.
But he didn't think about this, he hurriedly poked out his body, stared at the clerk and asked, "What about the silver? How much is the silver?"
When this question asked, all the poles immediately supported their ears.
"In the accounts, the county's silver treasury has 191,000 taels and six cents of silver."
With a bang, the entire signing room was immediately in chaos. Oh my god, 190,000, what a huge pile of money it would be. What a fortune it would be if the silver was spread evenly into the hands of each pole. Although the pole of each pole was killed and injured this time, it was worth it, and it was absolutely worth it.
With these money and food, which one is not a slut, and the one who is not a slut, is a powerful soldier immediately? Who are we afraid of now? Even if the border troops of the court come, we can compete with him.
When Lu Shi heard this, he was also moved. With this money and food, he could develop well in Woniu Mountain. Taking advantage of this gap, he would use this money and food to temper a truly strong army, and then lead them to implement his plan.
Zhao Dahai suddenly stepped forward and gritted his teeth at the clerk, "No, it's all in the accounts, but what about the actual ones? Please tell the truth by this master."
Seeing the old clerk's pupils shrinking, Zhao Dahai suddenly smiled and said, "You can say it, you can't say it. If you say it, I will ask the leader to spare you and you will be rewarded. If you don't say it, I just need to go outside and catch a few more to ask separately. By then, my leader will be angry, and it will be difficult for you to have a happy life. If you think about the situation in each city, do you think about it?"
The clerk immediately understood that he had met an expert, and looked at the surrounding kings who were fierce and evil like wolves and tigers. If he followed the original official, he would understand the words of the insider best, he would not be able to save it anyway. So he swallowed and said, "Dear Kings, this is the account, but there is actually an account, which is the actual money and food in the county. I will use it to show you all."
So he sued, stood up, and tinkered with his butt under a large stove in the signing room for heating for a long time. Then, in the confusion of everyone, he added an account book in his hand. When he returned to the front of the mud, he knelt down again, and opened it carefully and said, "The warehouse has 251,000 stones of food and 300,000 51,000 taels of silver. This is a private room in the county, specially designed to welcome the top of the event."
With this report, the entire signing room was silent immediately, and the needles could be heard.
The original ones have already made everyone frightened. Now there are still these here. What number is that? That is something that everyone dare not even think about.
"How much other supplies are there?" Zhao Dahai stepped forward and pressed forward. These data must be made public in front of everyone. Otherwise, it would be impossible to tell if it was copied and picked up in the future. It might not necessarily fall into someone's pocket. The county town he had worked hard to build would be cheaper.
Then the clerk did not dare to pretend to be fake in front of this understanding of the inside story at this time, and quickly poured beans into the bamboo tube and told all the people under his jurisdiction.
There are nearly 50,000 pieces of cloth and 1,000 stones of salt in this warehouse. The ones that make everyone jealous are nearly 100,000 kilograms of fine iron, slag, iron, etc. This is a good thing, a real treasure.
In the Ming Dynasty, although iron smelting was already privately owned, the finished products were still mainly sold by officials. People are inferior to those who use iron. It is still a good idea to write hoes and plowshares. If you want to make knives and guns, you can't even think about it. The most lacking of poles is knives and guns is to use knives and guns. Good knives and guns are equipped with personal soldiers to save their lives. Most of the remaining ones are fighting with sharpened wooden sticks or kitchen knives and farm tools. If these fine irons create military weapons, how many elites are needed and how much combat power can be improved?
With these well-equipped military teams, are you worried about nothing else?
Strength is the basis of everything.
Not to mention others, Lu Shidu would rather give up silver and grain when he was dividing the spoils than to divide the spoils, so as to make enough material preparations for one of his ideas.
These things are piled up here, and everyone is jealous and beating. They all look at the excited leader without getting stuck in the mud. They wish they can share the New Year with everyone now.
He stood up without mud, turned around for a few times, and then shouted: "I think this is the case, our affairs are still very complicated and cannot be settled for a while. It will take more than one or two days to withdraw from the county town. So I think we will first guard this warehouse, and then wait until everyone finally gathers the income and then divide the spoils together?"
This statement makes sense as soon as it is said. Although everyone is anxious, they have to endure it.
"But since you have received so much money and food, you can't suffer any more. I decided to give you food, wine and meat to you now, so that you can have a good drink tonight and have a full meal. It is considered a celebration of the city."
