Chapter 148
Li Jing ordered the execution of the one-eyed dragon and a group of pirate leaders, and this decision was unanimously supported by the generals. Only Zhang Hong, a financial miser, felt a little sorry. The annual income of 200,000 yuan was gone. If he was not in charge, he would not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. Now Shamen Town still owed the Han family 100,000 yuan usury loans. Although he seized a lot this time, the 23,000 stone of rice, 10,000 yuan of cloth, 3,000 yuan of silk, nearly 7,000 yuan of silk, 8,000 yuan of silk, and gold and silver. A total of more than 100,000 yuan of money were seized.
But Zhang Hong also knew that another huge expense was about to be spent. In this battle, nearly 600 people were killed in battle, and more than half of them were slightly injured. According to the rules set by Shamen Town earlier, soldiers were slightly injured two pieces of silk, three pieces of seriously injured, and ten pieces of silk were killed in battle. The lower-level officers of the troupe were slightly injured, three pieces of seriously injured, and twenty pieces of silk were killed in battle. The officers at the head and above of the team were slightly injured, five pieces of seriously injured, and fifty pieces of silk were killed in battle. Everything was clearly decided. Now nearly 600 people died in battle, and the pension for the deaths alone was nearly 10,000 pieces of silk. In addition, too many were slightly injured, and at least 3,000 guan subsidies were required. Several items of one plus ten thousand guan were lost.
In addition, Shamen Town also has a special regulation that if the soldiers who died in battle have ten other pensions in their homes, there will be no more pensions. Li Jing has just said that this time, the pensions for all soldiers who died in battle have doubled. Zhang Hong roughly calculated that this pension subsidy will be at least 20,000 yuan.
This is not all that requires expenditure. After the pension subsidy for those who died in battle, there is another big expense, that is, the reward for merits after the war.
This time, two thousand soldiers in Shamen Town fought more than 1,000 pirates, and military merits should be won according to their military merits. However, Li Jing had just finished speaking, and all military merits were changed to higher-level merits. Shamen Town stipulates that if the upper-level officers and soldiers were rewarded ten jin for each entry, they would receive five jin for each entry, and two jin for each entry. Whether they died or survived in the battle, they would receive a heavy reward for each entry, and ten jin for one entry, and another 20,000 jin for one entry. In addition, in addition to collective rewards, there were two rewards based on the number of killing enemies, and these two rewards were judged according to the number of killing enemies. In this battle, 1,101 enemies were killed and 700 prisoners were captured. Li Jing's reward standard was that every time he killed the enemy, he would receive five jin for every entry, and the prisoners would be rewarded equally. There were only 1,800 bandits in total, but after counting the final military merits, there were actually two thousand kills and captives.
This is not because Youzui deliberately took over military merits. It was really chaotic on the battlefield. Some pirates were killed by several soldiers at the same time, or some were seriously injured. The soldiers thought that killing them recorded the next level of merit, but later they encountered them, killed them and recorded another military merit. Such things are common, and there are many overlapping military merits after counting them. If you check carefully, you can control the overlapping number to the smallest. However, Li Jing did not ask Zhang Hong to pursue it, but rewarded them all. This reward was another ten thousand.
With a rough calculation of these two big heads, the expenditure will be as high as 50,000 stagnant.
"General, the cash that has just been seized in the treasury now is only 30,000 guan and 16,000 pieces of silk. Together, it is only 43,000 guan, and it is still 7,000 guan. Are our rewards and pensions too high? Even the pensions and rewards of the imperial army are only about 30% of ours. This time, I will get some cloth and rice and I can still make it all. The key is to set aside this kind of favor and reward. Every time I fight in the future, I will be like this. If this continues, I am afraid that the treasury will be overwhelmed. General, don't forget that we still owe a hundred thousand guan, and the time is only three years." Zhang Hong looked at the numbers on the tent, sucking the air conditioner, and advising him painstakingly.
There is still tens of thousands of chunks of money left in the new city, and now they can only repair the city wall first, but the east and south walls have not been repaired yet, and the west city has been destroyed by war, and it has to be rebuilt, and money has to be increased. There is such a large expenditure here, and Zhang Hong feels that his account books are full of deficits, and he is so worried that he is angry. But Li Jing, the general of the town, doesn't understand his suffering at all, and he still has big expenses. He really doesn't know how expensive the firewood and rice are. Looking at the deficits in the account, Zhang Hong really wants to throw the account books on Li Jing's face. Anyway, the deficits and the duplex accounting methods are all taught to him by Li Jing. He should really let him see how serious the deficits in the town are.
Knowing that after hearing this, Li Jing only said lightly. Zhang Hongzheng thought that Li Jing had already understood the serious financial situation. Unexpectedly, Li Jing's next sentence almost choked him to death. Li Jing said: "This time, we were not able to protect us, which scared many people, and even the camps outside the city were burned out, and many people suffered losses of different sizes. This is our responsibility, and it is still cold and we must do a good job of resettlement. You pull a sum of money from the tent and let the tents be purchased immediately in Dengzhou and various places. At least you have to let everyone put up the land nest first and have a place to settle down at night. Secondly, many of your belongings are destroyed in the fire. You can save each piece of cloth and a bucket of rice. This matter should be fast, and it is best to deal with it before the current Yaoyaoyao is dark."
Zhang Hong calculated that he had to buy at least 3,000 tents, and according to this standard, he had to buy at least 5,000 pieces of cloth and about 200 stones of rice. It was okay to say that there were cloth and rice in the warehouse now. Although he felt a little distressed, Bi Jing had ready-made ones. But he had to buy tents. Three thousand tents would cost about 5,000 guan. With cloth and rice, this was a small guan. I felt sad!
Looking at Zhang Hong's heartbroken expression, Li Jing comforted: "If you don't have enough money, just use silk instead. If you don't have enough silk, you can count the rice. This time, there are too many injured people who died in battle, and the hearts of the army and the hearts of the people are floating. We must give a generous reward so that everyone can calm down. Although money is important, it is all outside of the body. The hearts of the army and the hearts of the people are the foundation for us to take root in Shaman Island and grow stronger. If the money is gone, we can find a way to make money again. As long as we have troops on our hands, are you still worried that you will not make money?"
"It's Lantern Festival soon. This time we must hold a grand festival. You can make more money from the account and find more money. Try to do it as lively as possible and have more festival atmosphere. Let the negative impact of this battle pass as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Zhang Hong nodded without a lottery, his heart full of deficits that would add to the account.
Li Jing patted Zhang Hong's arm and smiled and said, "Don't worry, what we seized this time is worth more than 100,000 yuan. No matter how much we spend, it will only be about 60,000 yuan. We still made a fortune. Moreover, I can tell you now that in less than a month, I will definitely get a large sum of money. Then you will count the money."
"Really, what input is it, and how many can it be?"
Li Jing smiled and said, "Now I can only tell you that the money will not be small. I guess it will be at least 100,000 yuan." When Zhang Hong heard this, he was shocked and stopped asking where he got the money. He happily planned an announcement and announced the various pension subsidies, rewards, and relief notices that Li Jing had just planned.
The sound of gongs kept ringing. In the square, Zhang Hong and a team of soldiers posted the latest announcements in conspicuous places, and specially called a few literate officials to stand there and recite loudly for the people.
When the projects such as death-related pension, injury allowance, military merit rewards, disaster relief and other projects were published, the onlookers were shocked and so excited that they could not speak. At that time, many families knelt down to the town general's mansion and shouted in unison to Li Jing's kindness. The crowd was grateful and the crowd, who were originally lamenting the worries of the war, were also laughing happily all of a sudden. The deceased had passed away, and more importantly, the surviving ones were surviving. Even if they were dead,
The family members can also receive a large sum of money, ten stakes of pensions for death in battle, and ten stakes of pensions for the family members, and this time it doubles, that is forty stakes of stakes of military merit, five stakes of times, and ten stakes of stakes of money for post-war disaster relief. After the war, the families of soldiers who died in battle can get more than fifty stakes of money. Although this money is nothing compared to a life, it can guarantee their future lives for the soldiers.
After handing over the work of giving the pension and rewards to Zhang Hong, Li Jing took a group of generals in the army to visit the wounded. The place where the medical team was located was originally a barracks, which was temporarily transferred by Li Jing to the medical team for the purpose of the medical team. More than a dozen doctors, dozens of female nurses and stretcher teams had been busy here for half an evening and one morning, and they had not yet rested.
More than 20 people have died of severe injuries. There are more than 30 people in a coma. More than a dozen people have been rescued and there are basically no danger.
In addition to these seriously injured people, they were arranged in temporary medical rooms, and a large number of minor-injured soldiers in the barracks were lined up in front of the barracks for bandage and treatment. Most of these were minor injuries, basically some skin trauma, all they needed was cleaning the wound, stop bleeding and suture. A few were fractures and other problems, and there were special orthopedic doctors who helped to correct bones and position and apply splints on medicine. Originally, many minor-injured soldiers were too lazy to come to the medical team, and planned to follow some local methods and just use some saliva and leaves to apply the wound. However, Li Jing ordered officers at all levels to set an example, pull their subordinates and all went to the medical team to receive regular bandages from the doctors.
The medical team was in and out, as if they were fighting. The arrival of Li Jing and other generals surprised the doctors and the wounded soldiers. Li Jing asked the accompanying staff to carry several buckets of hot mutton soup, large buckets of pork stewed radish, large buckets of white rice, and the boiled lean meat porridge. The servants asked the servants to prepare meals for the busy doctors, nurses, stretchers, and wounded soldiers waiting to deal with the wounds. For those seriously injured, Li Jing took the lead and fed the lean meat porridge to the injured one spoonful after another. A 10**-year-old logistics spear soldier had a broken arm and a hole in his head. At this time, his hands and head were wrapped in layers, just like a mummy. He opened his mouth and fed the porridge from Li Jing, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
Li Jing smiled and said, "Why are you crying? I asked the doctor about your injuries. The broken bones on your arm have been connected. Now I have a splint. Just rest for 100 years. The injury on the head is not important, but it is broken a little bit. In three months, you will be a young man who is alive. You should be well recovered. I heard from your team leader that you stabbed three bandits with an eight-foot spear last night. It was very amazing. When your injury heals, you will come to my servant team to report and follow me in the future."
