The first thousand and four hundred and one chapters are used as tax silver for border army rations
"In order to deal with our tiger flag, the imperial court expanded its border camps in Datong and Xuanfu respectively. Our baggage camp in Lingqiu will definitely not be stopped, unless the boss decides to break up with the court and dispatches a large army to attack Datongfu.
and Xuanfu Towns.” Du Yan said.
Liao Junyi nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Ye Yuncheng on the left, and said, "Chief of Staff, you have been by the boss before coming to Lingqiu. You should know the boss's thoughts more clearly than us. Tell me your opinions?"
After smoking, his mouth was prone to bitterness. He picked up the teapot at hand and took a sip of water.
"Our tiger flag should not break up with the court in a short period of time." Ye Yuncheng said, "Unless the boss is ready to become king, the later the break up with the Ming Dynasty court, the greater the benefits for our tiger flag, from the earth.
The big plates occupied by the Mot's troops also take time to develop. Unless the court takes action first, it is impossible for the procurator to take the initiative to attack the court in a short period of time."
There is nothing wrong with the fertile land of the Tumote tribe, but only a few slab-up land was developed and utilized by the Mongols, and a lot of land was wasteland, which needed to be reclaimed before it could be turned into fertile fields little by little.
It takes a lot of time to really utilize these wastelands.
In addition, the freezing environment on the grassland is worse than that on Datong. In many cases, you can only harvest staple food for one season, and at other times, you can only plant some crops with cold resistance and short growth cycles.
Liao Junyi thought for a while and said, "We can't take care of the matters of Datong Mansion, so naturally there is a boss to take care of it. What we need to do is not let the Lingqiu cause trouble, although the important workshops here in Lingqiu have been moved to the grassland.
But the workshops left by Dongshan Iron Farm are still important. As long as our baggage camp is in Lingqiu for one day, we must ensure the stability of these iron farms and workshops."
"Don't worry, I will go to Dongshan Iron Field in the future and I will ensure that there will be no trouble." Du Yan patted his chest and said.
Liao Junyi said: "I mean it is the same. We will sit in the same place and meet each other every half month. Chief of Staff, Xujiazhuang will give it to you."
As he said that, he paid Ye Yuncheng on his left hand.
"Okay." Ye Yuncheng nodded.
Liao Junyi continued: "There are spies from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau in Lingqiu County, and I am in Hutou Village. If you two encounter any problems, send someone to Hutou Village for help at any time, I will do it.
Support you for a while.”
Hutou Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Military fortresses were built on the way up the mountain to ensure the safety of Hutou Village. Moreover, Hutou Village is home to its own people with the tiger flag, unlike Xujiazhuang and Tiechang.
There are always everyone who comes and goes.
And if the government wants to take action, these two places are the best goals.
Ye Yuncheng and Du Yan nodded.
After the three of them made a decision, Ye Yuncheng and Du Yan left Hutouzhai the next day and went to Xujiazhuang and Dongshan respectively.
At the same time, Datong General's Office also welcomed a guest.
"Dongweng, Huang Shou of Xinpingbao sent the tax silver this month, and this month is much more than the previous few times." Aide Xue Mu said in front of Yang Guozhu.
Yang Guozhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "This Huang An is a good person. I really underestimated him before."
The court ordered Datong to expand the border army camps, so that food and wages could be raised by themselves.
The original General Ma originally wanted to bring the governor of Datong and the inspector to report to the court and request the court to pay, but the governor and the inspector were placed together, and lost the position of General of Datong and went to Yulin Town to be the general.
.
Although they are all generals, their importance is very different. The generals of Yulin Town are not as important as those of Datong Town. Moreover, Yulin Town is poorer than Datong Town and has fewer troops.
Yang Guozhu, who took over as general of Datong, also needed to raise food and money by himself. With the support of the governor and the inspector, he began to pay extra tax and silver to merchants in Datong Town.
The extra tax and silver is used to expand the Datong army.
Moreover, he, the general, is different from General Ma. He is well aware of the dangers of the tiger flag, so no one in the newly expanded border army camp received an empty salary, and it is a military household recruited according to the full system.
"The student heard that the reason why this Huang Shou General was able to become the Xinping Fort guard was entirely because he cursed the captain Pei Xunzhang of Yanghewei. He heard that he spent a lot of money to leave Zhenluwei." Xue Mu said.
Yang Guozhu waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "It doesn't matter who he is flattering to you. As long as he can find money for his official position and is not a person with the tiger flag, what's wrong with me leaving him to be the guard in Xinpingbao."
It is a very common thing for him to spend money to buy an official position and it is nothing at all.
"How to divide the silver sent by Xinpingbao? Is it still divided into four parts as before, and 40% were given to the governor. Let's leave 30% and 10% to Yanghewei, and the last 20% is used as a substitute.
The salary for the newly established camp." Xue Mu looked at Yang Guozhu.
Yang Guozhu twisted his beard and said, "Just like before, but since there is too much tax and silver, 20% cannot be used for the newly established camp, otherwise people from other camps will cause trouble if they know about it."
"Or the newly established large-scale levy will remain the same, and the extra levy will be left in the General's Mansion?" Xue Mu asked.
Yang Guozhu thought for a while and said, "Forget it, give the extra money to the generals below. Give them a little more money to save me a waste of money."
"The generals below all know that the imperial court may deal with the tiger flag at any time, and know the importance of the troops in their hands. At this time, there will definitely be no more empty salary." Xue Mu smiled and defended the generals.
Yang Guozhu snorted in his nose and said, "You don't need to explain to them. How could I not know what the generals below are? If you don't pay attention, you can eat half of the camp for me.
The empty salary.”
It was normal for military generals to be vacant in the Ming army.
When they went to court officials and local inspections, no one took the empty salary seriously. Some generals even had to embezzle the salary of the soldiers at the bottom.
"Students will keep an eye on you and don't let others get empty wages in the newly established camp." Xue Mu promised.
As for those border camps that had been given empty wages, he knew that he could not control them and did not dare to care, so he didn't even mention them.
Yang Guozhu nodded and said, "You should keep an eye on this matter. The court may take action at any time. At that time, there must be no soldiers available. You must be clear that the soldiers and horses of the tiger flag are not weak, otherwise it will not be possible to conquer Tu Mo.
Special department.”
"Student understand." Xue Mu bowed slightly.
When the news of the Tiger Flag conquering the Tumote tribe just came, no one in Datong believed it. Many people think that the Tiger Flag can often make people with the Tiger Flag dealings with the Tumote tribe.
Has appeared on the grassland.
