Chapter 26 Money and Food Issues

Just talking about the issue of money and grain supply, Chengyi Bo Mansion has a lot of bitterness to complain. Who is the civil servant who makes money so unhappy?

In the past, when civil and military officials and Caojiang were established, Wen Caojiang only gave soldiers nine coins a month, and could not buy a stone of rice on the market.

Wu Caojiang is much more generous to his subordinates. In addition to one stone of monthly food, he also has two cents of salt, vegetables, silver and four cents. In addition, for veterans, there are also rice. For the most, the rice is five dou of rice per month, and for the fewer, the rice is also five liters per month.

However, after the Wen Caojiang was abolished and the Jiang was fully returned to Liu Kongzhao, the court provided the navy with the money and food according to this standard. Liu Kongzhao had had a fight with the court several times over this matter, but they all ended in vain.

In this way, the Zhenyi Bo Mansion is not the case, let alone the Xingying, which is from the high-level army. It is common for Shangguan to withhold military pay. He often fights with thieves on hunger. In the end, the military achievements he made with real swords and guns must be repeatedly managed before he can be promoted.

Maintaining good military discipline under such circumstances can only be a fantasy. Although we have reached the relatively wealthy Jiangbei region, the supply of money and grain is still the most concerned issue for everyone.

Although I know that Liu Yongxi not only Ying Chengyi Bo has also received full support from the cabinet minister Ma Shiying, this does not mean that Jingkou Town can be worry-free in terms of money and food.

Fortunately, Liu Yongxi Lu Zhenfei got 5,000 people and three months of money and food, and it was not discounted at all to have the current situation, but now it is a situation of losing money.

Everyone optimistically estimated that the court gave 3,500 people food and food, but when they received money and food, they had to handle some everywhere. In fact, it would be very good if they could get 3,000 people. Maybe they could only get 2,000 people's money and food.

Moreover, the court's money and grain standards have never been determined. Maybe the money and grain they get in the end are only enough to supply one thousand people, and Jingkou Town may not find a way out.

Liu Yongxi gave the brothers below the cleverness: "Don't worry, I have a solution to the money and food issue, but you must obey my command at that time!"

Whether from Xingying or Chengyi Bo Mansion, these soldiers now responded in unison: "Please rest assured that as long as you can get money and food, it will be fine if you ask us to cross the river with you!"

Although it is quite subtle, Nanjing City is across the river. Liu Yongxi couldn't help but laugh: "Then please listen to my dispatch. If this ticket is done, it can at least handle the money and food required for our Jiangbei Town in one or two years!"

Because Liu Yongxi is now appointed as the deputy general of Jingkou, the troops he is now led are also called "Jingkou Town" or "Jingkou Army".

Although Jingkou Town is far inferior to Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing's four towns in Jiangbei, not to mention Zuo Liangyu's tribe with the largest number of troops, in Ma Shiying's eyes, this is the most trustworthy force of the court in Jiangbei. And because Jingkou Town is too weak and needs the full support of the court, he focused on supporting Jingkou Town.

Jingkou Town has continuously obtained supplies from the military ordnance funds from Nanjing and Fengyang. Although it has also provided a lot of money to all aspects, it is not inferior to the four towns in Jiangbei in terms of equipment.

The biggest problem now is that although there are equipment of 3,500 people, the key is how to arm 3,500 people with high efficiency.

There is naturally no big problem with Liu Yongxi leading the fifth camp himself, but Xingying, which has maintained strong independence in the past, is a big problem.

Although Liu Yongxi arranged many elderly people from the sincerity Bo Mansion to Xingying and Xing Shengping was still busy with marriage in Nanjing, Liu Yongxi decided to respect the tradition of Xingying and slowly penetrated it in a form of drizzle and silently moistening.

Although Xingying was still the original Xingying, Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing's control over Xingying was slowly declining.

Mrs. Xing was very dissatisfied with Liu Yongxi's reply to "borrow it for another month".

Although Liu Yongxi promised that when the Xing camp went south, there would be 1,500 people who returned it, Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing were more worried that Liu Yongxi would have borrowed or returned it, so they privately sent envoys to take Gao Jie's order to force the Xing camp away, but the result was that Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing were completely disappointed.

If Gao Jie could send people to mobilize troops two days earlier, he would be able to drag at least one-third or even half of Xing Camp away.

But now is the critical time for the expansion of Xing Camp. The sentry officer was waiting for the promotion of the camp, and the chief Shi was waiting for the promotion of the sentry officer. The veterans were also looking forward to the promotion of the chief. In the end, Gao Jie dragged away only more than 20 people. However, the Xing Camp responded immediately and directly returned some of the chief Shi and veterans who were clamoring to go north to return to the camp to Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing.

But in this way, Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing had a weaker influence on Xing's camp, and Liu Yongxi also began to recruit large numbers of refugees from the north to expand their strength.

Since the Jingkou Army has "enough money and food", there is naturally no problem in recruiting soldiers, and there is even room for picking. Now the quality of new recruits is pretty good in any aspect.

However, there are more and more Shandong soldiers in the army, and even Xing Battalion has the same situation. Now the number of Shandong soldiers has exceeded that of Qin soldiers.

Liu Yongxi decided to put the new recruits and veterans together to train, but although he personally carried out military training, his main energy was on the propaganda, so that these officers and soldiers knew why they fought and weakened Gao Jie, Mrs. Xing and the court's influence in Jingkou Town to the greatest extent.

In the past, Tong Yili was responsible for the propaganda affairs, but now Tong Yili, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, was originally a celebrity in front of Queen Zhang. Liu Kongzhao also felt that Tong Yili was "knowing the army" and invited him to come and preside over the Caojiang Navy together.

Of course, Liu Kongzhao is just a gesture.

Recently, the Ministry of War has been asking to set up a Caojiang Naval Division with a 50,000 troops, to be appointed by the civil officials, Caojiang, and to set up two generals of Jiujiang and Jingkou. They even directly named Li Zhan as the official department to serve as Wen Caojiang, so Liu Kongzhao let Tong Yili, who has always been known for his "knowing the army", deal with the civil servants' offensive.

However, although Tong Yili was not good at adapting to the situation, he was very good at talking about the war on paper, so he cooperated well with Liu Kongzhao. Liu Kongzhao felt that he would be unable to live without Tong Yili for a while, so Liu Yongxi could only do his own job when preaching this matter.

Fortunately, I had experience in this area when I crossed the south, and I had put together the corresponding grass-roots team at that time, not to mention that there are still elderly people from Chengyi Bo Mansion to help me, so Liu Yongxi did not encounter any major problems in catching the knife himself, while Jin'er and Hui'er acted as Hongxiu Tianxiang.
