Late Tang

Li Jing ordered the execution of Cyclops and all the pirate leaders, and this decision was unanimously supported by all the generals.Only Zhang Hong, a miser, feels a pity that his annual income of 20 yuan is gone.If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive firewood is, and now Shamen Town still owes the Han family a usury of [-] guan.Although a lot was seized this time, the [-] shi of rice, [-] bolts of cloth, and [-] bolts of silk, as well as nearly [-] guan coins, [-] bolts of silk, and gold and silver were worth more than a thousand through.Excluding the value of the workshop and the seized weapons and armor, the seizure was about [-] guns.

But Zhang Hong also knew that there was another huge expense that was about to be paid.In this battle, nearly 600 people were killed and seriously injured, and more than half of them were slightly injured.According to the rules established by Shamen Town earlier, the soldiers were lightly injured two silks, seriously injured three, and ten silks were killed in battle.Chief Wu, a low-level officer, suffered three minor injuries, five serious injuries, and [-] killed in battle.For the officers at the head of the team and above, five horses were slightly injured, ten were seriously injured, and fifty silks were killed in battle.Everything has been clearly stipulated long ago. Now there are nearly [-] war dead, and the pension for the war dead alone is nearly [-] pieces of silk. In addition, there are too many minor injuries, and at least [-] guan subsidies are needed. Several items are added together. Ten thousand is gone.

Moreover, there is a special regulation in Shamen Township, if there are orphans, widows, old and young in the families of the soldiers who died in battle, another ten horses will be issued as pensions.And Li Jing just said that this time, the pensions of all soldiers who died in battle will be doubled.According to Zhang Hong's rough calculation, the pension subsidy was at least [-] yuan.

This is not all that needs to be spent. After the pension subsidies for the dead and injured in the war, there is another big expenditure, which is the reward for post-war meritorious service.

This time, 1000 soldiers from Shamen Town fought more than [-] pirates. According to military merits, they should be rewarded.However, Li Jing had just spoken again, and all the military merits were changed to the highest award.According to the regulations of Shamen Township, all officers and soldiers participating in the battle will be rewarded with ten guans each, five guans will be rewarded for mid-level ones, and two guans will be rewarded for low-level ones.No matter whether they died in battle or survived this time, everyone in Shamen Town will be rewarded heavily, ten guan for each person, and [-] guan for another.In addition, in addition to the group rewards, there are also two rewards per team and per person. These two rewards are based on the number of enemies killed.In this battle, one thousand and one enemies were killed and seven hundred were captured.The reward standard issued by Li Jing is that every time one kills an enemy, he will be rewarded five times, and if one is captured, the reward will be the same.There were only [-] thieves in total, but after counting their military achievements, there were actually [-] beheaded and captured.

It's not that someone deliberately pretended to be the leader of the army. It was really chaotic on the battlefield. Some pirates were killed by several soldiers at the same time, or some were just seriously injured. When people meet, kill the thief and record another military merit.Such things often happen, and there are many overlapping military achievements.If you check carefully, you can keep this overlapping number to a minimum, but Li Jing didn't let Zhang Hong pursue it, but rewarded them all.This reward is another ten thousand.

Pensions and rewards, the two big heads calculated roughly, and the expenditure would be as high as [-] guan.

"General, the treasury in the town now includes the cash seized just now, and it is only [-] guan, and [-] bolts of silk. Adding all together, it is only [-] guan, which is still [-] guan short. Are our rewards and pensions too high? Even the pensions and rewards of the court officers and soldiers are only about [-]% of ours. This time, we can make it together, fold some cloth and rice, and distribute it together. Guan Jian is the beginning This is the first of its kind, and it will be like this in every battle in the future. If things go on like this, I'm afraid the treasury will be overwhelmed. General, don't forget, we still owe a hundred thousand usury, and the time limit is only three years "Looking at the numbers on the account, Zhang Hong took a deep breath and tried to persuade him.

The construction of the new city is still short of tens of thousands of guan, and now we can only repair the city wall first, but the east wall and the south wall have not been repaired yet, and the west city was destroyed by the war, so it has to be rebuilt, and the money has to be increased.There is such a large expenditure here, Zhang Hong feels that his account book is full of deficits, and he is anxious to get angry.But Li Jing, the town general, doesn't understand his difficulties at all, and pays a lot of money. He really doesn't know how expensive he is.Looking at the deficit in the account, Zhang Hong really wanted to throw the account book in Li Jing's face. Anyway, Li Jing taught him the deficit and the double-entry bookkeeping method. He should really let him take a good look at the deficit in the town. How serious it is.

As we all know, Li Jing just said a word after hearing this. Zhang Hongzheng thought that Li Jing had understood the serious financial situation.Unexpectedly, Li Jing's next sentence almost choked him to death.Li Jing said: "This time, we did not do enough to protect and frightened many people. Even the camps outside the city were burned down. Many people suffered losses of varying sizes. This is our responsibility. It is still cold right now, so we have to make arrangements. Work. You draw a sum of money from the account and let people buy a batch of tents in Dengzhou and other places immediately. At least let everyone put up the huts first, so that they have a place to stay at night. Secondly, many of you The family belongings were destroyed in the fire, and you should distribute them as one piece of cloth and one bucket of rice per person. This matter should be done quickly, and it is best to deal with it before it gets dark today."

According to Zhang Hong's calculations, at least [-] tents must be purchased, and at least [-] bolts of cloth, or about [-] shimi, are needed for rescue according to this standard.Fortunately, cloth and rice are available in the warehouse now. Although I feel a little distressed, they are ready-made after all.But the tents had to be bought, and [-] tents cost about [-] guan.With the addition of cloth and rice, this is another loss of ten thousand dollars.Heartache!

Seeing Zhang Hong's heartbroken expression, Li Jing comforted him: "If you don't have enough money, you can replace it with silk. If you don't have enough silk, you can send it out with rice discounts. This time, too many people were killed and injured in battle, and the morale of the army and the people fluctuated." , we must come up with generous rewards, so that everyone can calm down. Money is important, but it is something outside the body. The morale of the army and the people are the foundation for us to take root in Salmonella Island and continue to grow. Without money, we can Find a way to make more money, as long as we have soldiers and horses in our hands, are you still worried that we will not make money?"

"The Lantern Festival is coming soon. This time we must hold a grand festival. You need to pay more money from the account, find more people, and try to make it more lively and festive, so that the negativity of this battle The influence will pass as soon as possible, understand?"

Zhang Hong nodded listlessly, and his heart was full of another deficit that would be added to the account.

Li Jing patted Zhang Hong's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, what we seized this time was worth more than [-] guan. No matter how much we spent, it was only [-] guan. We still made a fortune. Moreover, I Now I can tell you that in less than a month, I will definitely get back a large sum, and then you can count the money all day long."

"Really, what kind of income and how much can there be?"

Li Jing smiled: "Now I can only tell you that the money will not be small, I guess at least one hundred thousand." Zhang Hong's spirit was shocked when he heard it, and he stopped asking where he got the money from. He walked happily to prepare an announcement, announcing the various pension subsidies, rewards, and assistance that Li Jing had just drawn up.

The bang bang bang bang sounded continuously. In the square, Zhang Hong led a team of soldiers to post the latest announcements in conspicuous places, and specially called a few literate officials to stand there and read aloud for the people.

When items such as pensions for war dead, injury allowances, rewards for military exploits, disaster relief and other items were made public, all the family members who watched were shocked and almost speechless with excitement and joy.At that time, many family members knelt down to the town general's mansion and shouted Li Jing benevolence in unison.Everyone was grateful, and the people who were lamenting the disaster of war all of a sudden laughed with joy.The dead are gone, but the more important thing is the survivors.Now even for the war dead, their family members can receive a large sum of money. The death pension is ten guan, and the family pension is ten guan, and this time it is doubled, that is forty guan, and they have a share of military merit , doubled five times, and ten times again.After the war, there was also a piece of cloth and a bucket of rice per person for disaster relief money. Calculated, the families of the soldiers who died in battle could get more than 50 pennies. Said, but can guarantee their next life.

After handing over the work of distributing pensions and rewards to Zhang Hong, Li Jing took a group of army chiefs to the medical team to visit the wounded.The place where the medical team was located was originally a barracks, which was temporarily designated by Li Jing for the exclusive use of the medical team.More than a dozen doctors, dozens of female nurses, and the teenagers from the stretcher team have been busy here for half a night and a morning, and they haven't rested yet.

Among the 130 seven seriously injured, more than 20 people have died of their injuries, and more than 30 people are in a coma, and more than a dozen have been rescued, and they are basically out of danger.

In addition to these seriously wounded being arranged in temporary medical rooms, there are also a large number of lightly wounded soldiers in the battalion who are queuing up on the playground in front of the barracks to receive bandaging and treatment.Most of these are minor injuries, basically some skin trauma, all that is needed is to clean the wound, stop bleeding and suture.There are a few problems such as fractures, and there are also specialized orthopedic doctors to help with bone setting and positioning, and splints are applied.Originally, quite a few soldiers with minor injuries were too lazy to come to the medical team. They planned to use some simple methods, just get some spittle, soil, leaves or something to cover the wounds, but Li Jing ordered the officers at all levels to lead by example and pull their subordinates, All went to the medical team to receive the formal dressing of the doctors.

People in the medical team come and go, as if fighting a war.The arrival of Li Jing and other generals surprised the doctors and wounded soldiers alike.Li Jing asked the accompanying servants to bring in several large buckets of hot mutton soup, large buckets of pork stewed radish, large buckets of white rice, and boiled lean meat porridge.Let the servants prepare meals for the busy doctors, nurses, teenagers in the stretcher team, and wounded soldiers waiting to treat their wounds.For the seriously wounded, Li Jing personally took the lead and fed them spoonful by spoonful of lean meat porridge.A logistics spearman who was only [-] years old had a broken arm bone and a cut on his head. At this time, his hands and head were wrapped in layers, like a mummy.He opened his mouth and was fed the porridge by Li Jing, his tears couldn't stop flowing.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Why are you crying? I asked the doctor about your injury. The broken bone in your arm has been splinted. Now you can rest in peace for a hundred days. The injury on your head is fine too. It's just a small hole, and in three months, you will be a young hero again. Take care of your wounds, I heard from your team leader that you stabbed him down with an eight-foot spear last night. Killed three thieves, which is very remarkable. When you recover from your injuries, you will report to my family team, and you will follow me from now on."

The young man named Li Yuan was very excited when he heard the news, he struggled to get up and thank him, it took him a long time to calm down his excitement after being comforted by Li Jing.
