Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 2
Chai Jin ordered someone to bring Wu Song a sheepskin mattress and a sheepskin quilt.People who are sick need to be cared for, and only when they are taken care of can they recover quickly.

Wu Song felt a little embarrassed. Some time ago, he often bullied other dealers. Not only did he not blame him, but he also cared so much about himself.

Wu Song said gratefully: "Thank you brother."

After Wu Song was arranged, Chai Jin said, "Brother Erlang, brother has too many things to do, so I won't accompany you to recuperate. Here are ten taels of silver. You can go to the store on the village to buy whatever you want, but there is one thing. Don’t drink alcohol under the circumstances, Dr. Sun also said just now that you should avoid alcohol when you take medicine. Also, if the farmer has any bad hospitality, just go to me, don’t be as knowledgeable as the dealers.”

Wu Song was almost moved to tears. He got up from the kang and bowed to Chai Jin: "Thank you brother for your concern. It was Wu Song and Meng Lang a few days ago, so you shouldn't bully the farmer."

Ding, the host increases the worship value by fifty points.

Chai Jin said: "Where did Brother Erlang come from? Rest assured to recuperate. I will go to work."

What did Chai Jin do? He went to see his family.

It was already the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the people were in dire straits, bandits were rampant, and there were still nine years before the Northern Song Dynasty fell.

In the martial arts arena, fifty Zhuang Ding are exercising there. These Zhuang Ding are all dressed up, they are young, they are in their twenties, and they are in their thirties.Some play sandbags, some lift stone locks, some practice big swords, and some play long spears.

Chai Jin looked at it and shook his head, just like this level is rampant in the village, the fish and meat people are okay, if something happens, this group of people is completely mob and should not be used.

A few months ago, the head coach Hong and Lin Chong at Chai Jinzhuang lost their martial arts competition and resigned. The head guards at Chai Jinzhuang were two strong men from the village, one named Chai Yong and the other Chai Meng, both of whom were Chai. into the confidant.

When Chai Yong and Chai Meng saw Chai coming in, they immediately shouted, "Assemble."

50 people stood up quickly and lined up.

"We are guilty, please punish the owner." Chai Yong said.

Chai Jin said: "The owner of the village almost fell to his death. You should be punished if you didn't wait for the guards well. Zhuang Ding, who shot the wild boar the day before yesterday, came out."

Six Zhuang Ding stood up. When the big wild boar rushed over the day before yesterday, these six people shot the wild boar with arrows, but the wild boar had thick skin and thick flesh and couldn't resist it at all.

"You six, the Savior has meritorious service. Each of you will be rewarded with one tael of silver." Chai Jin waved his hand, and his subordinates put six taels of silver on a tray, one tael each.Zhuang Ding who received the reward was all very happy.In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, people's livelihood was difficult, and one tael of silver was enough for the poor to eat steamed buns and pickles for a year, so this reward was not small.

"Thank you, Master." The six said.

"This is what you deserve. If you didn't escape at the critical moment and even shot a wild boar, you should be rewarded." Chai Jin said.

After rewarding Zhuang Ding, Chai Jin said again: "Chai Yong, Chai Meng."

"Yes, yes." The two said.

"After I fell off my horse and was injured, the two of you chased away the wild boar and brought me back to rescue me in time. Each of you will be rewarded with three taels of silver." Chai Jin said.

"The two of us didn't protect well enough and let the owner get hurt. I really deserve it," Chai Yong said.

"I can't blame you for this. You two have ordinary martial arts skills. It's not easy to be able to protect me well." Chai Jin said.

"Thank you, owner." The two also received the money.

The other Zhuang Ding looked at Chai Jin, not knowing what punishment would be.

Chai Jin pointed at the other Zhuang Ding angrily and said, "The punishment is unknown, and there is no way to gain prestige. You people, seeing the ferocious wild boar, panicked, each of you fried meat with bamboo shoots five times. Are you convinced?"

These Zhuang Ding are full-time guards, and they are not good at rescuing the owner when he is in danger. Five hits are considered light.

"I'm convinced." Everyone said.

"Chai Yong, Chai Meng, you two will execute it yourself, and I will supervise it."

"Yes."

The Zhuang Ding who was punished breathed a sigh of relief. The so-called fried meat with bamboo shoots was beaten with bamboo sticks. The maids and Zhuang Ding who made mistakes were usually beaten with bamboo sticks, which was a very light punishment.

More than 40 Zhuang Ding were shirtless, and each of them received five blows, each of which was painful and left a blood-red mark.

After the rewards and punishments were over, Chai Jin said, "For dinner tonight, two pigs were killed in the kitchen, and I specially arranged to leave dozens of catties of meat for you."

"Thank you, Master."

Chai Jin said: "You don't need to thank me, just train hard."

With the combination of rewards and punishments, Chai Jin's worship points increased by dozens.Chai Jin is also used to the existence of this system, so he won't pay attention to him all the time.

The training syllabus needs to be changed, but everything has to be done slowly. The most important thing is to familiarize yourself with your old background first.

Chai Jin called Chai Yong, listened to him, and wandered around the village.

Chai Jin is a wealthy man in Cangzhou and a former royal family. Although he is down and out, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.Although Chaijiazhuang is called Zhuang, it is actually two big villages, East Village and West Village.The East Village is the Zhuangzi where Chai Jin lives. It is mainly home to dozens of Chai family members and hundreds of tenant households.West Village is all tenants of the Chai family, with more than 800 households, and a total of 530 tenants in total, with a total population of 250.There are [-] mu of good land and [-] mu of poor land.There are also countless mountains and forests, and the actual control area of ​​Chai Jin's family is equivalent to the area of ​​a small town.

As a land rich man, Chai Jin's grain storage is quite astonishing. The granary alone occupies an area of ​​more than ten mu.Chai comes in to the granary. There are ten warehouses in total in the huge yard, each with blue bricks and red tiles, each covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters, and the height can be more than four meters high.There are four Zhuang Ding guarding the warehouse, and a warehouse manager who is in charge of the bookkeeping.The treasury manager is called Liang Hong, and he is also a veteran. He has been in the Chai family for decades, he can write and calculate, and he rarely misses the current accounts.

"Master, you are here." Liang Hong said.

"Well, here we come. Let's take a look at our food." Chai Jin said.

The setting of the grain depot is quite reasonable. There is a goldfish pond in the courtyard, the water depth is about one meter, and dozens of goldfish are raised. This is a fire-fighting pool, not for fish farming.Next to it are two wells.The distance between warehouses is tens of meters, which can fully meet the needs of fire protection.More than a dozen civet cats wandered around the storage room. This kind of civet cat is relatively wild and loves to catch mice, which effectively prevents mice.

Open the heavy barn door, full of sorghum smell.

"This is a sorghum warehouse, which stores 500 million catties of sorghum from the year before last." Liang Hong introduced.

It can be said that it is piled up like a mountain, and the burlap bags are very high.Chai Jin grabbed a handful, ate it into his mouth, and said, "Although it's not moldy, it's not very good anymore."

"Yes, young master. According to the usual practice in previous years, this grain will be sold after another year."

Four of the ten warehouses are empty, with a total of 3000 million catties of grain stored.Chai Jin's eyes were shining, and it was too abstract to just talk about his family's wealth. Only when he really saw the food did he know the wealth of the Chai family.Moreover, the 3000 million catties are the Chai family's stored grain. After the annual harvest, the summer grain and autumn grain are each sold for several million catties.

"This is really a lot of food." Chai Jin exclaimed.

Old Liang said: "These years have been bad. It's not drought, it's flooding. The grain production has been severely reduced, and our land rent is also small. The principle of grain storage is enough for one person for a year, plus nine years of grain storage as wealth." Our two farms, East and West, add up to more than 7000 people, and each person has 350 catties of grain a year, 500 million a year, and it is reasonable to have more than [-] million catties in ten years."

"Old Liang is still thoughtful, but don't sell the old grain that is going to be sold this year. I have other uses." After all, the economy and transportation were not developed in the Song Dynasty, and when there was a famine, there was no grain and no relief, so it was sold. Sons and daughters.As an old-fashioned big family, the Chai family has thousands of villages, and it is normal to store tens of millions of catties of grain.
