Chapter 78 Taking over Anyang

The imperial capital is very lively these days, the unprecedented victory, the ears of the car after car is the best proof; and the information from Cai Guo proves that this information is true. I heard that the two counties in the southeast of Cai State were full of crying, which can be called mourning.

The Li family is completely on fire, Li Yulong is a grand master of the first rank; the eldest son Li Liang is a local official of the second rank; the third son Li Xian is even more dazzling.

Only the Wang family was very annoyed, and the bamboo basket fetched water in vain. In the past few days, Wang Chuan had beaten to death several servant girls, causing everyone in the Wang family to tremble and dare not take a breath.

In the south of Wuyang City, on a main road leading to the south, Kong Xiang waited quietly at the three-way intersection.

"Why didn't the master leave?" The butler was puzzled.

"Wait!" Kong Xiang's tone was not very happy, and the housekeeper didn't dare to ask. Soon there was the sound of creaking carriages in the distance, and a group of carriages slowly approached.

Beichen Yuqing jumped down from the carriage, "Master Kong, there are 500 corpses here. I will take my leave."

After speaking, take people away immediately.

Kong Xiang opened the carriage and took a look. The corpses had been frozen and preserved with spells. Sighed: "Let's go."

The guards of the Kong family drove the carriage again, staggering towards the south, the atmosphere was very oppressive.

————

Anyang, Li Xian's face turned green, his elder brother walked too gracefully, waved his hand, and didn't take away any troubles, all the troubles were left to Li Xian.

Li Liang left with 5,000 soldiers, Zou Hui, his wife and nearly 6,000 people, and left the rest to Li Xian.

Including 30,000 elite soldiers, including rewards that have not yet been issued, including post-war appeasement, including broken city walls, including... all troubles!

The only gratification is that Li Liang wanted to leave Zhang Hongtao's ten people, but Zhang Hongtao's ten people resolutely refused; Li Liang had no choice but to take 10 guns and thousands of bullets and leave.

"Young master, the statistics are out. All the bonuses, pacification, etc. add up to 27,600 taels of gold!" Fang Shijing put the detailed information sheet in front of Li Xian.

"How come there are so many! If you add other expenses to this, you won't have to ask for thirty taels of gold!"

Fang Shijing said calmly, "Eldest Young Master's military salary for this month has not been paid."

"I..." Li Xian did not come up in one breath, "When will His Majesty's reward arrive?"

"Your Majesty's reward has arrived." Fang Shijing was helpless.

"It's here? Why didn't I see it?"

"Anyang County is exempt from taxes for fifty years."

"I￥*&..." Li Xian trembled with anger.

Xu Ren sighed slightly, "Young master, don't you know that all parts of the Great Xia Kingdom have been in charge of alone. It is said that some counties have been exempted from tax for hundreds of years. For example, Nanyang County where the Kong family is located.

Now among the 12 counties of the Great Xia Kingdom, only four counties can be directly controlled by His Majesty. "

Li Xian was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed, "Sir, the Great Xia Kingdom won't last for a few years. Even if His Majesty attaches importance to industry now, it will last for three to five years at most."

"Five years is no problem." Xu Ren smiled confidently, "This war has given Great Xia a breathing space for at least three years."

"Well." Li Xian looked at the things in hand, and finally clicked on a very important item, "Sir, the purchase of refugees and food that we discussed with various places before can start. Now Anyang is ours. , and the population of Anyang is relatively small, it is estimated that 300,000 to 500,000 people can be resettled."

"Okay." Xu Ren nodded.

Then, the task was handed over to Fang Shijing. This time it was Fang Shijing's turn to grieve: the post-war work has not yet been completed, and another task has been pressed down; Fang Shijing looked at Li Xian and Xu Ren with resentful eyes.

Xu Ren smiled triumphantly: "Old Fang, I am a counselor and you are a scribe. You should do this. If you can't do it, can you find someone yourself? I'll find you. If anyone please don't If you want to move, the young master can come forward in person.

In addition, all the refugees should also be classified according to their specialties. Also, when purchasing refugees, try to ensure that the family is complete. "

Fang Shijing grimaced, "Master, we only have 14,000 taels of gold now. Not to mention buying refugees and food, even the rewards for the soldiers are not enough."

"How could it not be enough? Didn't Wei Zhe send 200,000 taels of gold before?" Li Xian was really surprised. There is no shortage of gold in the sea, and Wei Zhe replenished 200,000 taels of gold almost immediately.

Fang Shijing took out a pocketbook, "The cement factory will be greatly expanded, and a total of 20,000 taels of gold will be paid. The locomotive factory will be greatly expanded, and a total of 20,000 taels of gold will be paid. The research department and the internal rewards of the factory are as high as 20,000 taels. 10,000 taels. There are also chemical and explosive factories and arsenals, with a total payment of 30,000 taels. The rest are to expand the smelting branch and build the Trident.

The remaining 14,000 taels of gold were accumulated in the past.

Young master, according to the generous reward rules you made, this is 14,000 taels of gold, which is only enough to pay the rewards and salary in the factory next month.

Nowadays, whether it is textiles or electricity, a large number of new inventions are born every day in almost all factory areas. Today, we are in a big outbreak phase. "

"Oh..." Li Xian rubbed his brows, suffering from an unusual headache.

There is no shortage of smart people or skilled craftsmen in this fairyland. Every practitioner is a talent. Now, under the guidance of Li Xian, after the initial introductory stage in the group, everything is in a state of blowout; naturally, the rewards are also spilled out like water.

Everyone was silent for a while, how to run the group and how to obtain money depends on Li Xian's attitude.

"Crack!" Li Xian slapped the table and looked at Xu Ren: "Sir, we want to demand war reparations from Cai Guo!"

Xu Ren made some calculations in his mind, and finally nodded: "It's feasible. But we need to work it out, get permission from His Majesty, let us negotiate, and the compensation we get must stay in Anyang."

"Leave it to my father!" Li Xian wrote a letter immediately.

What happened next was a mess, Li Xian and the others were too busy to touch the ground. Wounded soldiers should be appeased, and dead soldiers should be buried. When money was insufficient, Li Xian had to give priority to taking care of the dead and wounded soldiers; as for the rewards of the rest of the soldiers, he could only temporarily owe them. Fortunately, Li Xian now has a little prestige, and the soldiers can still forgive him, but there is inevitably a little dissatisfaction in his heart.

In order to compensate the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, Li Xian ordered that each of them be issued a stainless steel sword, which slightly eased the dissatisfaction of the soldiers for a while.

In addition, the broken Great Wall of the border needs to be repaired, and the bloody ground needs to be treated to prevent it from causing plague, etc.

Later, Li Xian also attended the funeral. The funeral of seven or eight thousand people made Li Xian look dignified and feel heavy. This funeral made Li Xian determined to seek justice from Cai Guo; of course, the Kong family could not let it go easily.

After six days of busy work, I finally sorted things out for the time being. Then Li Xian's first order was to separate the textile branch factory and move it from Qingyun Valley to near Anyang.
