A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 19 Inventory
At the beginning of September in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Jingbiandun.

In front of the pier gate, Wang Douzheng said goodbye to Zhong Da. That day after Wang Dou and others left Dongjiazhuang, they still returned to Xinzhuang.After living in Xinzhuang for two days, everyone returned to Jingbiandun. After all, Wang Dou is the chief armor of Jingbiandun now, and he is also responsible for farming, so he is not allowed to stay at home for a long time.

That day when he led the police report and returned to the village wearing the official uniform of the general flag, it can be said that it caused a great repercussions in the village. I heard that even the Li family expressed concern.Hearing that her son had brought him to sue him, and that he was also a Tunbao official, and that there was another 60 taels of silver reward, his mother Zhong was naturally very happy, but she still thoughtfully asked Wang Dou to keep the money for himself, saying that he would go to Tunbao in the future. Fort costs.

She kept the silk cloth that Wang Dou rewarded that day, and she couldn't put it down when she caressed the cloth. Even Mrs. Li in the village didn't have such a good cloth.Afterwards, she solemnly put away the silk cloth, and said that when Wang Dou got married in the future, she would make a new dress for Xie Xiuniang.

Today is the day when Wang Dou and Yuan Jiachang Zhong Dayong hand over the affairs of Jingbiandun.There is a strict order in the Ming Dynasty. After all officials are promoted, they must wait for the new officials to meet and explain. The date and documents of the account must also be reported.After all the affairs in Dunnei are settled, Zhong Dayong will also go to Huiyaobao to take up his post.

At this time, Wang Dou was wearing the official uniform of the General Banner, and Zhong Dayong was wearing the official uniform of a hundred households. The two stood in front of the pier gate and talked.About to leave, seeing everything familiar in Dunnei, Zhong Dayong was full of emotion in his heart, looking at Wang Dou in front of him in high spirits, and thinking about taking up the post alone, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Hour, take care!"

Wang Dou finally cupped his fists at Zhong Dayong, and he waved. Han Chao came over, holding a tray in his hand covered with a red cloth.Wang Dou reached out to take the tray, and lifted the cover on it, but it was a piece of five taels of silver.

Wang Dou said to Zhong Dayong: "Huiyao Fort is at the top of the clock, and the Dunnei brothers have gathered a little bit of progress, brother's heart, I hope that the clock will not be too little!"

He said and handed over the tray.

Zhong Dayong didn't expect that Wang Dou would give him a gift of silver when he was parting.The wife next to him, Wang's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and shouted: "Brother Wang, you..."

Wang Dou saluted deeply: "Treasure the hour all the way!"

After a long time, Zhong Dayong sighed and said repeatedly: "Brother... I'm ashamed!"

Thinking about what he did to Wang Dou before, and looking at what Wang Dou is doing now, Zhong Dayong has a kind of understanding in his heart, no wonder Wang Dou can rise quickly, this kind of mind is destined to make his future difficult.Zhong Dayong patted Wang Dou on the shoulder, bowed to everyone in the pier, shook his head with emotion, and finally took his wife out of the suspension bridge, walking farther and farther.

Watching Zhong Dayong's figure go away, Wang Dou's figure didn't move for a long time, the gift of Zhong Dayong's ceremony was to consider many friends and multiple paths, Zhong Dayong transferred to another place, and he was no longer with him There is a fierce conflict, and everything in the past has become a cloud of smoke.Maybe in the future, Zhong Da will be used in Huiyaobao, and I will have a place for him.

……

After a long time, Wang Dou turned around. From today on, Dunnei is his world.

Yang Tong, who had been observing his expression, came over with a smile on his face: "Wang Tou, the clock is gone, look, do you want to change your room?"

Wang Dou nodded, the best room in Jingbiandun was the one Zhong Dayong used to have, and now that he is the head of Jingbiandun, it is natural that that room belongs to him.

Seeing Wang Dou nodding, Yang Tong and his wife Liu Shi happily went to tidy up Wang Dou's room. After tidying up, Wang Dou was also satisfied.He walked around the pier, and said to everyone who followed him: "The pier is too dirty, it is easy to breed flies and diseases, and it must be cleaned. From now on, the pier should be clean and tidy as the first priority!"

Since coming to this world, Wang Dou is most dissatisfied with his living environment, garbage is everywhere, and there is an indescribable smell everywhere, and now he can finally get rid of this kind of life.

After listening to Wang Dou's words, everyone praised him for being kind, and immediately everyone started to clean up in full swing, inside and outside the house, everywhere in the pier, and cleaned everywhere, and finally swept out several piles of rubbish.

Looking at the rubbish, Wang Dou was secretly surprised. He really didn't expect so much rubbish to be swept out of a small fire road pier.

Looking at the rubbish, Han Zhong and the others didn't feel much, but after cleaning, everyone felt much refreshed.

According to the documents, Wang Dou took an inventory of the population and materials in Dunnei.

Right now, only the Han and North Korean brothers are left in Dunnei, including Qi Tianliang and Yang Tong, a total of seven people including himself.In terms of material, the grain, chickens and sheep seized from Hou Jinjun that day were almost enough to eat, the chickens and ducks were gone, there were only three sheep left, only a few bags of rice and noodles were left, and the pier was full of firewood, tobacco, soap and rocks.In terms of equipment, apart from the bows, arrows, long spears and waist knives of the original few people, the armor and weapons seized from the Houjin Army that day were in good condition, and these will be the capital of their own business in the future.

That day after Wang Dou beheaded the Houjin Pa Shiku, his waist saber was also seriously damaged. When he came back, he simply chose a Houjin epee from the seized one. In addition, the Shundao on the Houjinbaijia was also handy. Pick away, this kind of short knife is much easier to use than the Jieshou knife I used before.

There were several pairs of iron armor and cotton armor captured that day, but except for Wang Dou, the Han Chao brothers and Qi Tianliang all picked up leather armor and horses. The iron armor is heavy, and the cotton armor is not as light as leather armor. When it is not a battle of life and death, in fact, very few people are willing to wear armor.As for the weapons, the three still used the original ones.

Looking at the armor and weapons in the barn, Wang Dou glanced at Yang Tong who was following behind, and asked him to choose a suit of armor as well. Yang Tong was overjoyed, this proved that Wang Dou really regarded him as his own.What he was grateful for was to choose a cotton armor, and the three-eyed gun in Dunnei belonged to him.Yang Tong's choice is correct. A qualified archer needs years of training. Except for Wang Dou and Han Chao brothers in Jingbian Dun, the bows and arrows in Qi Tianliang and Yang Tong's hands are purely decorations. They use firearms to compete. Good bow and arrow.

After taking stock of the materials in the pier, it is quite a lot compared to a small fire road pier, but it still seems too little for Wang Dou's future development, especially when he is about to fortify himself, he can only slowly figure out a way in the future up.

Wang Dou was contemplating the future development of Jingbiandun and Tunpu, while the brothers Han and Chao and Qi Tianliang were muttering about something. After a while, the three of Han and Chao came up, and Han Zhong was still carrying a heavy bag .

Han Chao clasped his fists and saluted, and said to Wang Dou: "Wang Tou, we have thought about it. Tunpu will need a lot of money in the future, and our money is useless if we keep it by our side. Let's hand it over to Wang Tou for use together."

As he said that, he took the cloth bag from Han Zhong's hand and handed it over to Wang Dou.

Wang Dou glanced at the three of Han and Chao in surprise. Indeed, he was just now calculating the cost of farming in the future. He was allocated 400 taels of silver that day, and then another 60 taels of military reward silver was entered into the account. However, Wang Douji He sent dozens of taels of silver to those captive women. In addition, he also took 50 taels of silver back home. In addition to the time spent, now he only has more than 300 taels of silver left, which is far from enough for future farming needs. .

Needless to say, there are still several boxes of cloth and silk seized in Dunnei, but the price is so high now, Wang Dou is naturally reluctant to sell these materials. , good mental outlook is good.

It's not that Wang Dou didn't think about the money of the Han and North Koreans, but it's obviously not good to raise this topic on his own initiative. As for Shangguan, he can ask for something, but given the current situation of Daming Wei, don't expect too much. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.While thinking about it, several people from Han and North Korea offered to take out their own money, which couldn't be better.

Wang Dou took the silver and said loudly: "Okay, we are all good brothers in Dunnei. From now on, we will share the blessings, share the difficulties, and seek wealth together."

The three of Han and Chao knelt down together, clasped their fists together and said loudly: "The little one is willing to follow the adults, to be smashed to pieces, and to serve the work of dogs and horses forever."

Wang Dou helped them up one by one, and said repeatedly: "Good brother."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, all of them were irresistible.

When Wang Dou made such a statement, the three of Han and Chao were also very happy.

In the past few days, they have thought about it carefully and discussed it. From Wang Dou, they feel the future of following Wang Dou. At this time, Wang Dou is at a critical moment. ?
After the life-and-death struggle that day, the three people's attitudes towards money have softened a bit.And there is another point, that day in Dongjiazhuang, Zhang Gui once asked Wang Dou if he would like to join the military household registration, so that he can be assigned to the military officer's job, otherwise he would only have some salary.

On that day, Wang Dou joined the military household registration without hesitation, so that his name would be recorded in the military record, and his descendants would always be the military household of the Ming Dynasty.When the Han and Chao brothers saw that Wang Dou joined the military household, they also joined the Daming military household together.In this way, they can all share some officers' land, each with 150 mu to [-] mu of land.Of course, their fields also need to be taxed. In the future, the higher-ups will directly deduct them from their salaries.

Both Qi Tianliang and Yang Tong were originally tenants of Zhang Gui, the management team officer of the Dongjiazhuang. Of course, Qi Tianliang would no longer be a tenant. Home.However, after running around these days, he found that all the fertile land in Shun Township Fort has owners, and no one is willing to sell it. To buy those thin fields and wasteland, the investment is huge, and the taxes and food are heavy. He is afraid that he will not be able to make ends meet in the future. His worries also affect Han To the two brothers.The two originally planned to buy some fields, but they both hesitated after that.

At this time, they sent the silver to Wang Dou, not to mention pleasing Wang Dou, in the future when the fort is developed and the water conservancy is built, each of them can directly share a hundred acres of land, and there will be no grain for three years, this kills two birds with one stone Why not do it?
The four of them have a deep brotherly love here, and only Yang Tong stands aside awkwardly.

……

Wang Dou briefly counted the silver. The Han and Chao brothers spent a little time these days, and they left some scraps of silver. They each took out 130 taels of silver, and Qi Tianliang also took out 80 taels of silver. Dou's silver, at this time he has a total of more than 600 taels of silver in his hands. With this money, he will be more confident in the future Tunpu.

After taking out the money, everyone felt more intimate. After discussing the matter of Dunnei and Tunpu, they felt that things were complicated and complicated.But first of all, a well must be drilled in the pier, otherwise the water for the population in the pier will have to be picked up from the Dongfang River a few miles away, which seems too difficult.

In addition, I also went to the Dongfang River to see the wasteland that could be reclaimed.
