Chapter 114: Account

It is now mid-June, and after a while, July is coming, and it is time for food harvest.

There were fewer military disasters in the central and northern parts of Anshang County, so the farming in these townships could barely be carried out normally.

The grain harvest is imminent, and officials related to agriculture at both counties and counties in the city were sent out by Yang Qing to ensure that the rice in each township and pavilion could be harvested smoothly.

Although the purchase of food through money or agricultural tools and cloth exchanges for food, and the provision of food for military and civilians can maintain turnover, this is not a fundamental solution after all. Only self-sufficiency can make the military and civilians feel relieved.

Moreover, the collection of autumn grain is related to Yang Qing's subsequent arrangement. He needs this batch of grain to help him, and then the abundant grain warehouse will be able to support a greater war.

Therefore, Yang Qing attached great importance to this. In the past few days, he also went to the two surrounding townships and sent more troops to the southern part of Anshang. Relying on the original Dingxiang, Ningxiang and Hexiang camps, it established the first line of defense to guard Anshang to prevent the rebels from suddenly attacking.

Although Yang Qing wrote a letter of persuasion to Gao Ding, he would not really believe that the barbarian hero surrendered with etiquette just by his own words. In the letter, he showed more provocative meaning in order to anger the man to lead the army and fight again.

But he did not want the Yi soldiers to attack immediately, so he had to wait until the autumn grain was harvested to let himself take a breath, so his heart was still hanging over the past few days. In addition to sending more troops, Wu Que also asked the rebels to pay close attention to the movements of the rebels and report them at any time.

Fortunately, Gao Ding was also busy licking her wounds, and there was no abnormal movement during these days, which made Yang Qing slowly relieved.

Although the official army won a complete victory in this battle, it was still damaged after all. More than 200 soldiers died in battle and needed the government to provide pensions.

What's more, the soldiers participating in the war also had to give generous rewards, which would result in a considerable expense. Fortunately, there was still savings in Anshang City, so it could barely deal with it.

However, at this time, money is not as affordable as food. In order not to disappoint the soldiers, Yang Qing still squeezed out a batch of food from the unlucky food, rewarded the meritorious soldiers and provided pensions to the casualties.

Yang Qing also personally went to the homes of the injured and died, and made arrangements for the homes of the soldiers who had lost their livelihood. The men in the family could go to the farm tools workshop and the iron tools workshop, and women could go to the textile workshop to work, and all of them were distributed according to the fifth-level workers.

The workers in several workshops established by Yang Qing were divided into levels one to eight according to their technical level. Further up there were craftsmen, and there were also small craftsmen, middle craftsmen, and great craftsmen. The higher the level, the higher the monthly salary.

The treatment of casualties and family members as soon as they entered the workshop was a level 5 worker. It was already a favor from the government, which was enough to envy others.

Of course, the entire Yueli county has not yet been restored. With the financial and material resources of the city, the treatment of workers is mostly reflected in the amount of food. Once the rebellion is quelled in the future, the treatment of workers will become more and more comprehensive.

This is also a pilot that Yang Qing intends to try. If he has the opportunity in the future, he will promote this workshop system and fully release the enthusiasm of the entire Yizhou craftsmen in order to enhance national strength.

Everything was complicated, and Yang Qing had no time to go back to Anshang. In addition to military affairs, farming affairs, and commercial affairs, he also had to pay attention to the situation on the hidden front.

Since the case of Huo Jian's traitor was fully arrested, Yang Qing has been busy with command and ending the war, and has not had time to ask about the follow-up situation of Huo Jian's case.

After Huo Jian was arrested that day, Yang Qing threw him to Wu Que and asked him to interrogate him and drain all the value of this guy.

Since returning to Anshang City, Huo Jian has acted like he is on a hunger strike without eating or drinking. No matter how Wu Que interrogated him, he just refused to answer and refused to cooperate.

But Wu Que did not force him to eat. For some reason, Huo Jian survived, as if he had never taken a hunger strike.

Wu Que and the others have never carefully determined the reason. Since there is no gap from Huo Jian's side for a while, Wu Que will make a breakthrough from Huo Chang's side.

As Huo Jian's online and brother, Huo Chang doesn't know less than Huo Jian, or even more.

Wu Que did not use any punishment, but just gestured a few times in front of Huo Chang and told the rich achievements of the war truthfully. He would answer questions and say whatever he knew.

In a secret cell, Wu Que looked at Huo Chang sitting in the cell with a serious face. As the conversation went smoothly, he couldn't help but think that this guy knew the truth that the times were heroes. He didn't know how to deal with him with this person in this way.

"According to what you said, the major surnames in Yizhou that led the trouble this time were mainly the Yong family, Meng family, Cuan family and your Huo family?" Wu Que asked.

Huo Chang nodded and replied affirmatively: "That is. Among the several families, the main ones are Yong Kai from the Yong family, Meng Huo from the Meng family and Cuan Xi from the Cuan family are the leaders here."

"As far as I know, Yong Kai is a descendant of Yongchi, the founding hero of my Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Yuankang, the Yong clan migrated from Guanghan to the Dianchi area and lived in Nanzhong for many years. He was very prestigious as a leader of the Nanzhong Daxian. The court was familiar with it and was quite familiar with it, but he didn't know who Meng Huo and Cuan Xi were." Wu Que asked again.

According to Yang Qing's intention, Wu Que interrogated Huo Chang and Huo Jian, mainly to learn from them about the purpose of the rebellion, the deployment of troops, the character and temperament of the leading figures.

Huo Chang thought for a while and replied: "The Meng family was originally a Han family, but his family has lived in Nanzhong for a long time and has been intermarried with the Yi people for more than two hundred years. It is difficult to tell whether the family is Han or Yi people.

"Now the head of the Meng family is Meng Huo, who is a mixed-race of Han and Yiyi. Not only is it very famous among the Han people in Yizhou County, but it is also commendable that this person is generous and fair in dealing with things. He is also very prestigious among the barbarians in the south, and most of the barbarians are competing to follow him."

"Yong Kai also valued Meng Huo. In the early days of the rebellion last year, he sent Meng Huo to the middle of the Yi people, falsely saying that the government planned to force three hundred black dogs, black in front of the chest, three mites, and three thousand pieces of wood-cutting. Because Meng Huo was famous, Sou Yi believed it to be true, so he followed Meng Huo's orders and responded to Yong Kai."

When Wu Que heard this, he thought to himself that Sou Yi was also interested in rebelling, not simply because he misbehaved Meng Huo's lies.

He nodded and said, "So that's it. What kind of family is that Cuan family?"

Huo Chang is now walking in a dark way. He knows that since he has already explained, he has to explain it thoroughly, so that he can have a trace of life.

Therefore, he replied without hiding it: "The Cuan family is somewhat similar to my Huo family. I hope that this rebellion can allow the imperial court to have a separatist and independent position in Nanzhong. Only in this way can the big surnames be governed for a long time, maintain long-term interests, and have their own world in this troubled times."

Wu Que sneered and said, "You want to get it very beautiful. Don't you hear that all the world is the king's land, and are the king's ministers in the boundaries of the land?"

Huo Changwu Que was a little angry and quickly responded: "Yes, yes, these powerful men are arrogant and arrogant, and do not know the number of days. They are really self-destructive."

"If you think so, it seems that there is still a way out." Wu Que calmed down and said, "Let me tell you how many people do you have."

Huo Chang said: "Yes, the main rebellion of the Southern Central Army is our four families, among which the Yong and Meng families gathered the most. As far as the Chang knows, there are more than 4,000 people in the Yong family, more than 3,000 people in the Meng family, the Cuan family and our Meng family each sent more than 2,000 troops, and the other small and medium-sized tyrants have produced more than 3,000 people."

"In this way, there are nearly 15,000 rebels in total." Wu Que said coldly.

“That’s right.”

"Then how are the ordnance equipment of these people?"

Huo Chang smiled flatteringly and said, "Generally speaking, it is similar to the subordinates under the command of King Yi Gao Ding, and is far less powerful than my Yuezhi official army."

Wu Que sneered: "This is naturally. Who is my husband? He is a strong general under his command."

Huo Chang smiled and said, "Yes, villains and others do not know the destiny and resist the heavenly soldiers are extremely stupid."

Wu Que said: "It's good that you know, and then say, let me tell you everything you know so that I can plead with you for you."
