Crossing straight to the blue sky

Chapter 598

The drought outside was more severe than last year. Most of the refugees who managed to escape to Mount Qi survived were young and middle-aged men, and there were fewer old and weak women and children.

Du Chun'an wandered around the refugee group, knowing what he knew, and he was so happy that his eyes rolled up.This group of refugees came to Germany in a timely manner. It is estimated that six or seven people can be recruited to the barracks.

Huang Kun was also wandering around the refugee group, and his thoughts were similar to Du Chun'an's.

"General Huang is here too," Du Chun'an was not surprised to see Huang Kun, and called him back to the yamen together.

"Lord Du is here too," Huang Kun was not surprised to see Du Chun'an, and said, "What is Master Du planning for this group of people?"

Huang Kun originally planned to fool [-] to [-] refugees. With the government's current financial resources and food, it would not be a problem for their barracks to receive [-] to [-] refugees.

I didn't expect the people who went out to fool you to be so talented, and the fool came back with more than one hundred thousand, double the number of people he estimated. I don't know if the soldier's salary can stand up to it?
I heard from the boy who came back below that there are still people out there fooling the refugees, who knows how many people will come back by then?

"What's General Huang thinking?" Du Chun'an said calmly, making some calculations in his mind.

Huang Kun organized the words and said: "My lord, I have an unfeeling request, and it is too far for me to say that."

Du Chun'an didn't know what he meant by these words, he pondered for a while, and said: "Please tell me, General!"

If it is within his ability, he can help. If it harms the great cause of Qi Shan or your lord, he will absolutely not agree.

"My lord, I would like to know how many people can be supported by the current financial resources of the yamen?" Knowing that this remark was too far away, Du Zhubo might not be very happy, Huang Kun had to ask, it was related to Qishan's military strength and future great cause.

Du Chun'an glanced at him, this topic is indeed sensitive, it is not a military general's question, and it is easy to make the people above suspect.

Except for the magistrate, he knows how much silver there is in the yamen. The brothers have a vague impression, but they probably don't know how much money there is.The money that was copied was all copied back by the brothers, not by one person, and the amounts were recorded separately.

Thinking about it, Du Chun'an guessed what Huang Kun was worried about. General Huang was also working hard, all for Qi Shan, he understood.

"To be honest, my lord, I planned to recruit 10 to [-] soldiers. You have seen the refugees outside. There are [-] people here, and there are about [-] to [-] young and middle-aged people. These people want to be recruited into the barracks.

Our foundation in Qishan is too weak, so there is no problem with small and big battles like suppressing bandits.Once the imperial court sends a large army to attack, we have no power to fight back.The family business that we have worked hard for two years was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Qi Shan was able to survive the crisis this time, in addition to taking a slanted sword, another reason was luck.Not every time, we can be so lucky.The root cause is still not strong enough, the troops are not strong enough. "

If it wasn't the border army attacking them this time, it was other generals, but there was no second barbarian tribe to sow discord for them.

Du Chun'an nodded, "The general is right. As far as I know, with the current money of the Yamen, it is not a problem to support one or two hundred thousand soldiers for two or three years."

The figures he mentioned are still conservative estimates. 20 soldiers will not be a problem in three to five years. If Qishan develops and taxes are added, it should be possible in seven or eight years.

Huang Kun was startled, then smiled and said: "I understand, my lord."

　I worked overtime last night to catch up. I accidentally missed more than 100 o'clock. The tragedy is that I was still more than [-] words short. I didn't even have time to ask for leave. I had no choice but to catch up today.
