Cultivating immortals, starting from immortality, bright moon toast together

“Brother Lu wants to live in the barracks?”

When Sun Siwen heard Lu Yuan’s idea, he couldn’t help but feel surprised: “Now that the bandits in the county have been eliminated, there is no major incident. I was originally going to wait for the stability in the county in a few months, and then I would lay off some sergeants, so why should Brother Lu bother to train the troops? ”

Now there are 500 county soldiers in the county, and just to pay the salaries and silver of these county soldiers, it costs 1,750 taels of silver in January, and 21,000 taels of silver in a year.

Twenty-one thousand taels of silver, it didn’t seem like much, it was only one-tenth of what Lu Yuan had captured in the city.

But you must know that the city can seize 200,000 taels of silver, which is thanks to the accumulation of tens and hundreds of years of accumulation by five surnames and two gangs of these land snakes.

People have accumulated for decades and have been plundered by you, and they can naturally earn a lot of money.

If it is a normal year, in a remote mountain county like Wugang County, all the financial revenue in a year is only four or five thousand taels of silver.

With this little money, in addition to the salaries of officials and the maintenance of the daily operation of the Yamen, there will be one or two thousand taels left, and it will not be able to support five hundred sergeants at all.

And so it is.

A small county in a place usually raises a hundred county soldiers, and the salary of these county soldiers will not be as high as five taels in January, and it is not bad to give one two taels of silver every month.

Today’s Wugang County is very unbalanced and deformed.

It is precisely because of this that after solving the bandits, Sun Siwen thought about disarmament.

The idea is to restore normal structure while balancing expenses.

However, when he told his friend what he thought, Lu Yuan immediately objected: “Although the bandits in the county have been eliminated, there are still many remnants of thieves who continue to harass the place.

And as it is today, there are frequent riots.

Now there are no bandits in Wugang County, but what about outside Wugang County?

It must be noted that the last time the county town of Wugang was breached, it was not the people in the county who did this, but those seedlings in the mountains.

This time, I suppressed the bandits, and in a Miao cottage, I caught the messenger of the seedlings in the mountains. This person came to collude with the Miao people in the county and prepare to plot the county seat.

Now disarmament, without the protection of sergeants, wait for these seedlings to fight again, who will guard the county? ”

The seedlings in the deep mountains in Dongting County have always been deeply involved with the Five Poisons Sect, and they are even simply the peripheral forces of the Five Poisons Sect.

Therefore, the people of the Five Poisons Sect appeared in the Miao cottage, and Lu Yuan did not think that this was an accident.

Thinking of the last example of Wugang County being breached, it is not difficult to guess that this was planned by the Five Poisons Sect and another action to weaken the imperial court.

Sun Siwen also heard the news for the first time, and after Lu Yuan told his guess, he couldn’t help but nodded cautiously: “Brother Lu is right.” The seedling messenger appeared in the Miao cottage in the county, and there was definitely a plan, maybe he was eyeing the county again. ”

Thinking of the terrifying possibility of returning to the seedlings who had previously attacked the county town, he couldn’t help but solemnly say: “In this way, the gendarmes cannot be dismantled for the time being.”

Fortunately, this time he eliminated those thieves and bandits, and captured a lot.

Even if the expenditure on raising troops is very large, with the county’s finances, it can last for two or three years, and there is no need to worry for a while. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Siwen couldn’t help but glance at his friend.

This time, the gang of thieves in the city was wiped out, and the three Miao people outside the city were wiped out, and the county government reaped a total of more than 200,000 taels of silver floating wealth.

So much money, of which more than 10,000 taels of silver were divided to reward the soldiers. There are also fields worth more than 20,000 taels of silver, which are also ready to be distributed to the soldiers as promised to help them settle here.

But in addition to this expense, the bulk of the property, the gold and silver jewelry of up to 130,000 taels of silver, were all taken away by his friend.

In the end, what can be left in the hands of the county magistrate is the title deed of antique houses and shops worth about 70,000 taels of silver, which is not easy to realize.

So when it comes to wealth, the richest person in the county today is still his friend.

Fortunately, Sun Siwen also knew that he could go to his post smoothly this time all thanks to Lu Yuan’s help. The other party took away these big heads, and they all said it long ago, they should.

Therefore, I was only a little depressed in my heart, but I quickly skipped it and didn’t want to.

“Since Brother Sun has no objection, then it is so decided.”

Seeing the support of his friends, Lu Yuan was also very happy in his heart, and immediately clapped: “Then from now on, I will be responsible for training troops in the barracks, and you will be responsible for governing the city.” I am in charge of martial arts, you are in charge of text, so the responsibility is divided. ”

There is naturally a reason why he is so happy.

This time offended the Five Poisons Sect and killed their people. Although Lu Yuan judged in his heart, the Five Poisons Sect should not dare to retaliate for the time being.

But not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

For the sake of safety, Lu Yuan was still ready to hide in the barracks, let the soldiers guard him heavily, and ensure his safety to the greatest extent.

“So be it.”

This is the same as what was said earlier, just repeatedly, Sun Siwen has no opinion, nodded in agreement.

……

Wugang County originally did not have a military camp, after all, this is only a small mountain county, originally the county soldiers in the city plus the army, the total number of people will not exceed 100.

These 100 people are on duty in batches, and generally after work, they go home directly, and they do not need additional camp accommodation.

Therefore, after Lu Yuan took office with 500 soldiers this time, how to settle these people has become a problem that needs to be solved.

Fortunately, after the last bloody long night, the five clans in the county died clean, and their houses were confiscated.

Like Changning County, Wugang County also has accommodation for officials, and the location is also in the area where the wealthy families in the city are located.

Therefore, Lu Yuan simply renovated these confiscated large family houses, and converted several courtyards into military camps.

Anyway, those big households are big enough to accommodate so many people. And they are all rich people, and the environment in the home is also very well furnished, and it is quite comfortable to live.

Lu Yuan felt that this place was much better than the houses he had lived in before.

Even he felt so, and even more so for the sergeants who had been bitter.

So after tossing for more than ten days, the county lieutenant led his subordinates to the county soldiers, and happily lived in the renovated luxury barracks.

Time passed slowly.

Closed shops in the city slowly opened, and people who had been hiding at home gradually dared to take to the streets. Some merchants from other places also heard the stable news here after a few months and came to do business.

Sun Siwen seized the opportunity to find some wealthy businessmen to negotiate, and prepared to sell the large number of shop title deeds held by the government and exchange them for cash.

According to Lu Yuan’s occasional meetings with him, chatting and knowing, these businesses are doing quite well.

Because it was sold at a reduced price, it attracted many wealthy businessmen who wanted to make a windfall to buy it, and obtained a large amount of activity funds for the county government.

Everything is slowly on track.

Wugang County, which has been chaotic for several months, has finally ushered in a time of peace and stability.
