Three hundred and sixtieth eight chapters mouth cannon sharp
Chai Daguan never expected that he would just become the logistics manager in the early days of Liangshan, but he didn't know where the luck came from.
In just a short time, the Golden Finger Luck Pagoda had recovered less than half of its luck after traveling across the world and consuming an entire layer of luck.
What a big surprise!
His original idea of just playing around with tickets immediately changed, and he took care of Liangshan's logistical affairs seriously, hoping to gain more and richer inexplicable luck.
I don’t know if the statement about one hundred and eight magic stars is true?
If it is true, maybe with the Liangshan army wreaking havoc on the world, you can also gain amazing luck, and you may even gain the legendary luck of the stars!
There is not much to say. Under Chai Jin’s supervision, Liangshan’s logistics affairs quickly became very orderly. Although the rules and regulations are not strict, according to an expert like the iron-faced Pei Xuan, they are more strict and orderly than those of the government.
.
The phenomenon of leaders controlling money, food and materials at will and all kinds of extravagance and waste have been reduced a lot, which of course has caused a lot of complaints and complaints.
Chai Daguanren's reputation in the world is not a joke. Even Song Jiang's die-hard Xunyangjiang Three Hegemons and black whirlwind Li Kui, a murderer with no brains, dare not talk directly to Chai Daguanren.
I only dare to encourage the boss Song Jiang to come forward and fight for it.
The same goes for Chao Gai. Liu Tang and San Ruan were a little unhappy and hoped that Chao Gai would come forward to win more shares of logistics supplies.
The matter is actually very simple. After Chai Daguan straightened out the Liangshan logistics system, he began to allocate money, food, ordnance, and various logistics materials based on the actual number of men and horses under each leader.
At this time, Zhuang Ding, a literate man from Chaijiazhuang, and his family made great contributions.
The officials of Chai Daguan created a roster similar to household registration. Song Jiang, as an old official in the county government, naturally understood the benefits of it.
Naturally, there was strong support at the beginning, and with the roster, Liangshan can have more in-depth and thorough control.
I just didn't expect that such an action would cause a backlash from some leaders...
"What kind of roster are you making? Will the number of subordinates be limited in the future? Isn't this messy?"
"That's right, after all, some things can't be exposed publicly. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face for us leaders?"
"No, we have to ask Brother Gongming to stop it, otherwise our lives will be difficult in the future!"
"..."
Song Jiang's head was as big as a fight when he heard it. How could he not understand his little brother's Xiao Jiujiu?
Ahem, in fact, I learned from the bad habits of the Song Dynasty officials and soldiers, taking advantage of their empty pay!
Of course, Liangshan was still just a large grass-roots team at this time and did not have a regular army establishment, but some bad habits did not need to be transmitted from the officers and soldiers, and they would be picked up naturally.
But the men and horses under each leader are actually soldiers. Isn't it up to them to decide whether there are more people or less?
As long as the difference isn't too exaggerated, it's basically fine.
Among them, the leaders can naturally make a lot of money, but Song Jiang and Chao Gai just turn a blind eye.
But Chai Daguan had organized logistics and sent people directly to check the number of men and horses under each leader, and even created a roster. This was going to cut off their financial resources, how could they endure it?
In the original work, the Liangshan army snowballed and became larger and larger, and at the same time, the frequency of attacking powerful local snakes outside became increasingly high.
It's not that the heroes of Liangshan are really doing justice for heaven, it's that the money and food in the cottage can't withstand the consumption. If they don't go out to plunder, they won't even have enough to eat.
Given the poor quality of the leaders of Liangshan, if there is no food to eat, the huge Liangshan is probably not far from falling apart.
In other words, understanding Liangshan's acceptance of imperial court recruitment from this aspect can explain some difficult-to-understand things.
Of course, Chai Daguan also did some things that made it difficult for Song Jiang and Chao Gai to understand, and even a little displeased.
For example, the officials of Chai Dynasty hired two leaders of the navy to become the fishing leaders of the logistics department, specifically responsible for fishing in Liangshanbo, an area of 800 miles away.
In addition, he also sent some veteran farmers to the mountains to open up some paddy fields and engage in ecological recycling agriculture.
The most ridiculous thing is that Chai Daguan actually sent people from Chaijiazhuang to select an uninhabited island to raise chickens, ducks, geese, and domestic pigs.
When the news first came out, the leaders of the copycat villages were overjoyed.
The descendants of the majestic royal family of the former dynasty actually engage in such lowly businesses, which is really looked down upon by the heroes.
Song Jiang couldn't sit still anymore and invited Chao Gai and Wu Yong to come together, hoping to persuade Chai Daguan to return to the "righteous path" of a hero.
As usual, there was another banquet, but instead of big fish, meat and wine, there were four dishes, one soup and a pot of sake. This was a direct change brought about by the establishment of the Logistics Department.
It's satisfying to drink a big bowl of wine and eat a big piece of meat, but the waste involved is shocking.
Killing cattle and sheep at every turn, the leaders could only consume so much, and half of it was eaten by their close followers.
How can the brothers below not be jealous?
Things in the world are always concerned not with scarcity but with inequality!
Damn it, Liangshan is just a grassroots team, but it has made class divisions so serious. How can there be any cohesion at all?
When fighting with a smooth wind, you will naturally be full of momentum, but once you encounter a tough opponent, the leaders will have to take the lead and risk the charge.
It is said that at its peak, Liangshan had a hundred thousand troops, including a large number of cavalry. However, when fighting against Tian Hu, Wang Qing or even Fang La, they were all fighting generals, and the generals had to charge forward.
It's just a big joke.
It seems that one hundred thousand soldiers and horses are just a make-up. When the scale of the army reaches this level, why does it need the general to personally charge into the battle?
At the moment, Liangshan's leaders are exchanging cups and cups in the flower hall of the Logistics Department, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
"A certain family knows the intentions of these people!"
Chai Daguan was not polite at all. After drinking three rounds of wine and five dishes, he put down his chopsticks and said directly: "Do you think the imperial court will send regular troops to attack Liangshan?"
Song Jiang, Chao Gai and Wu Yong looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Yes!"
"Then it's over!"
Chai Daguan said angrily: "Just in case, Liangshan must be able to supply some of its own grain and grass, otherwise if the army blocks the grain route..."
"No way, it's unlikely that the officers and soldiers would do such a great job, right?"
Chao Gai was a little surprised and didn't believe it: "Did the officials exaggerate?"
"Haha, the worst thing is to run out of food!"
Official Chai said calmly: "This is an upright military strategy. As long as you encounter a ruthless military general, something like this is likely to happen!"
Song Jiang, Chao Gai and Wu Yong were speechless for a moment...
"Liangshan does not produce grain. If logistics are not well planned, the grain reserves can be used for a longer period of time and play a role in stabilizing military morale!"
Chai Daguan spoke very straightforwardly, without mincing words, and said leisurely: 'The last time the Shanzhai captured Zhujiazhuang, together with Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, the harvest of grain and grass was only tens of thousands of dans!'
Having said this, he chuckled and said, "You must not know exactly how much food is left in Liangshan right now?"
"At least half of it, right?"
Chao Gai said a little uncertainly, looking at Song Jiang subconsciously.
Song Jiang was also a little unsure and asked tentatively: "There should be half of it!"
Wu Yong smiled and said nothing, as if Zhuge Liang and Kong Mingzhi were in control of his pearls.
At present, the number of troops and horses in Liangshan is only a few thousand, which is far from the 100,000 troops and horses at its peak.
Even if we calculate two meals a day based on seven thousand young men, and consume half a catty of grain in one meal, that is seven thousand catties a day.
This is when there is no training. Once the training mode is turned on, the average person must have at least one kilogram of food in one meal, otherwise he will not be able to hold on at all.
The amount of grain looted from Zhujiazhuang and Gaotang Prefecture exceeded 150,000 dans, or 18 million jins.
The current Liangshan people can be fed for at least seven or eight months!
But right now, it's only two or three months before Zhujiazhuang is defeated, and it's only one month before Gaotang Prefecture is captured. At least half of the food reserves on the mountain are already there.
But Official Chai's answer greatly exceeded Song Jiang and others' expectations.
"Less than half!"
The high official's eyes were deep and his mouth was full of disdain, and he sneered: "All the leaders falsely reported their number of people, and the amount of food they requested every time was seriously excessive!"
Having said this, he chuckled and said, "I am now in charge of logistics, and I have also compiled all the rosters of people in each department. If we strictly follow the logistics regulations, there will be no problem in having the remaining food to support us for half a year!"
"But if you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries!"
Before Song Jiang and the others could recover from the surprise of the greatly reduced food supply, Chai Daguan continued: "Last time Liangshan killed Gao Lian to save someone who broke through Gaotang Prefecture, Gao Qiu went to the army just to save face!
"
As soon as this statement came out, neither Song Jiang nor Chao Gai answered, obviously they already knew this in their hearts.
"In order to avoid accidents..."
Speaking of this, Chai Daguan smiled and said: "This is a protracted war. Liangshan must strengthen its money and food management, hoping to be able to sustain it for a longer period of time!"
"What the official said is true!"
Song Jiang nodded repeatedly and sighed: "I was also negligent in the past. I didn't expect that Liangshan's loss of food and grass was so serious. Please ask the senior officials to strengthen management, so that we can have peace of mind!"
Chao Gai and Wu Yong also spoke one after another to express their support for Chai Daguan...
"It is said that revenue is increased and expenditure is reduced. There are thousands of young and strong men in Liangshan, and all of them are big eaters. They are really desperate to eat!"
When the atmosphere became harmonious again, Mr. Chai Daguan smiled and said: "There are no villages and towns that can threaten Liangshan now. It is difficult for other villages and towns to send troops to attack at will, otherwise it will have a great impact on Liangshan's reputation!"
These words touched the hearts of Song Jiang and Chao Gai, and they were very troubled by this.
"It is not impossible to break up the state and attack the county. With the fighting power of the local Xiang army, it is really vulnerable!"
Chai Daguan said bluntly: "But in this way, it is a complete rebellion. To be honest, although the roots of the Song Dynasty are rotten at this time, it has not yet reached the point where everyone is pushing against it!"
