Chapter 406 robbed a treasury of the Han Dynasty
They just defeated more than 100,000 thieves. Although most of them were captured, some of them still escaped without any signs. They could no longer affect the overall situation. They surrendered honestly, otherwise they would be ruthlessly chopped off by Dong Hu. But no matter what, there will definitely be a period of chaos in a short period of time. Daya and the others came to Ji County and needed some soldiers to guard them.
Dong Hu really wanted to conduct an imperial examination, but he still resisted the examination to select some officials. In this era, elites must be children of aristocratic families, and poor people have one or another shortcomings. Even Cai Yong's favorite disciple Ruan Yu also has many shortcomings and needs more experience, let alone the rest. Once the imperial examination is taken, the entire ten counties of Liangzhou will definitely be the world of children of aristocratic families. This is not the result he is willing to see.
Most of the hundreds of beggar brothers have grown up, but they have not left the Hehuang Valley. Although they have a little less experienced, they have also managed the people in the Hehuang Valley for several years. There is no problem in being the magistrate of each county. There are also generals of the "left and right deputy generals, left and right deputy teams" in the army. They are also engaged in civilian work, either supervising the laws and rewards in the army, or supervising military farms and supplies. They are all from civilians to various counties, and there is no problem in county officials.
Dongbuyi was a group of 200,000 people, and behind it was supported by a million people. There were more than 500,000 people north of Yanmen Pass alone, and there were also 500,000 people in the Hehuang Valley. Although the four counties, Hanyang County and Longxi County have not been completely sorted out, Dong Hu could roughly estimate that the six counties will definitely not exceed 500,000, and there may not even be 400,000 people. Such a small number of people are distributed in sixty or seventy counties, each county is only 7 or 8,000 people. The military camps in Pingcheng are more than 10,000 people. Mayi, Jiancheng, Pingcheng and Xining in Hehuang Valley, and Anmincheng are all cities set up based on 100,000 people. Let a person who manages 10,000 people manages a county with a radius of 10,000 people and only 7 or 8,000 people. Even if there is anything wrong, there will be no big mistakes. Take a step back, even if there is a mistake, even if there is a big mistake, how big trouble can a tens of thousands of troops be caused?
If there is an army to keep the scene, even if there are some mistakes, it will definitely face many troubles. After all, the militarized management model is relatively simple, and it will be more difficult to manage many slippery families. Without further investigation, you will know what troubles a group of young county magistrates will face.
Some difficulties must be faced. Not only some young officials have to grit their teeth and face the difficulties, but the generals also have to face many difficult choices when the era comes.
Dong Hu left Didao with 5,000 soldiers, and the generals of each battalion took the "captives" to disperse in all directions. They needed to send more than 100,000 people into damaged counties and needed to guard the counties for a period of time until the people's hearts were completely settled and the counties were on the right track...
Liangzhou is not without copper coins, Liangzhou is easy to be in chaos. The Han Dynasty spent countless money on the land of Liangzhou. Recruiting soldiers requires copper coins, and comforting Qiang people who are easy to be in chaos requires copper coins. Although these money will gradually flow out of Liangzhou through taxes, Liangzhou is a place with frequent rebellions and short intervals. The loss of copper coins cannot even be as high as the inflow rate, but there are still very few copper coins circulating in the world.
Liangzhou, which is easy to mess, is a bottomless pit. The Han Dynasty obviously invested countless copper coins, but there are still very few copper coins on the market. Copper coins will not disappear for no reason. Where did this money eventually flow?
The major families in Liangzhou, the Qiang villages that are prone to rebel, the leaders of Han villages, and the copper coins of Liangzhou are either in the hands of the major families who control a large amount of land, or in the hands of the leaders of rebellion.
If in the past, the county towns of Liangzhou had not been compromised, and the copper coins of each major family were still in the hands of each major family, but since Geng Bi's death, the entire Liangzhou would never have lost an inch of land, which was not a traitor.
They were all rebels, and more than 100,000 people chose to fight Dong Hu to decide the winner. After Dong Hu defeated everyone in one fell swoop, except for the guys who hid in Didao who saved the robbery, the rest became spoils. Dong Buyi took away all the dead and worn clothes, so how could he allow the captive to hide his bronze foul on his body?
Dong Hu was strict with generals at all levels, and forced low-level officers to restrain soldiers more strictly. He had to hand over the soldiers honestly when they found copper pounds. This was a huge wealth that was astonishing.
At first, I didn't notice the fact that Liangzhou was actually "infinite", because he had been facing the problem of "poverty" since he was a child. Until after he arrived in Ji County, when he saw the number of "474,864,000" of copper coins sent by Ruan Yu, he was shocked to find that he was so outrageous, as if the whole world had been turned upside down.
If Dong Xiaoyi is included, Dong Gu's winnings in the four counties of Hexi will exceed 600,000 yuan. If Pingcheng and Jinyang Prefecture's money are included, Dong Hu already has one million yuan in his hands, and he suddenly feels like a rich man.
One million yuan is almost like a tax for the Han Dynasty for one year!
Dong Hu was overjoyed. What about this and that? Seeing that he had money, he immediately began to calculate the distribution of military pay to soldiers. A Han soldier did not count the other expenses. Just a simple military pay was 8,000 yuan a year, 200,000 soldiers would cost 160,000 yuan, and one million yuan could be distributed to soldiers for five or six years. Not all soldiers needed to pay military pay. For example, the 50,000 military farm soldiers in Taiyuan County did not need military pay unless they went to the battlefield.
The soldiers north of Yanmen Pass were different. The soldiers north of Yanmen Pass, including the Yicong tribe of the Qiushui Valley, included Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Bietou Pass (Sanguan Town), Yulin Town, Ningxia Town, and Guyuan Town. In addition to the Liaodong Town affiliated to Youzhou, Jizhou Town, and Gansu Town belonging to the four towns of Hexi this year, the soldiers north of Yanmen Pass occupied six important towns of the "Nine-Border Important Towns". In addition, the general Dong Chi of the Mobei North, Liu Qi of the Guyan Mountain, and Hua Xiong of the Monan General each led troops to occupy the grasslands of the Monan Northern Desert, and compressed the four Kuitou brothers in the North Yanshan Mountain.
The soldiers north of Yanmen Pass have become another important town in the nine borders. These soldiers have no way to mobilize them. At this point, they will only exist in the "Central Plains" for the safety of the Central Plains border, rather than in the "Han Dynasty". Dong Hu is more willing to exist in these border troops from then on, but in the special group that exists without the invasion of the "Central Plains" by the "Central Plains" from now on, but in the special group that exists without the invasion of foreign races. Although these ideals and assumes that require generations of inculcation of this "heretic" concept, he is willing to try it.
The soldiers of the "Nine Borders" are border guards. No matter how turmoil in the world is, they should not give up the suppression of the Qiang and Hu because of the chaos in the Central Plains. These soldiers should not have major changes due to the replacement of the Central Plains. They are the soldiers guarding the border for many years. The soldiers north of Yanmen Pass are different from those who entered Liangzhou, and are even more different from the soldiers in Taiyuan County.
The soldiers who entered Liangzhou were quelling the rebellion. After Liangzhou calmed down, they only needed to maintain a few soldiers to maintain public order. If it were not for the Han Dynasty, most of the soldiers would either disband or turn into military farming forts and become quasi-military militias, which was one level worse than the soldiers of the "Nine-Border Important Town". The military farming soldiers of Taiyuan County were pure military farming forts, and they would only give the troops when they recruited these quasi-military militias to the battlefield during wartime.
If we want to send military sounds to soldiers, we must first distribute tens of thousands of soldiers to the "nine-side important towns" north of Yanmen Pass, followed by the heroic generals and brave men who were pacified in Liangzhou. As for the 50,000 military soldiers in Taiyuan County... the quasi-military militia who were not transferred to the battlefield would naturally not distribute military sounds.
In Dong Hu's impression, Liangzhou has always been poor, but he never thought that he would steal 600,000 million yuan this time. When Da Ya and San Ya came to Ji County with a group of women and children, they were also stunned when they saw the gold cakes and copper coins placed in a warehouse. They did not expect that they would steal so many copper coins from more than 100,000 people!
"Husband, do we really have so much money?"
Daya still felt a little dreamy. Dong Hu scratched his head for a while, and he couldn't believe that he had robbed so much money. Including Lian County copper mine, Pingcheng Fukuo, and Jinyang Fukuo copper coins, he had one million yuan in his hand. Although it was nothing in the eyes of the Tang and Song dynasties, this was the standard annual tax for the Han Dynasty...
"Tell me more... Actually, it's not a lot. Emperor An of Han spent fourteen years to pacify the Qiang Rebellion in the year of Yongchu, which cost 240 million yuan. Emperor Shun of Han spent seven years to pacify the Qiang Rebellion in the end of Yonghe, which cost 800 million yuan. Duan Jin spent fifty-four million yuan."
"These money was used to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou. Although most of the money was spent on weapons, food and supplies, a considerable part of it was used to pay for the sound of the soldiers who recruited soldiers. When the soldiers fought in Liangzhou, eight out of ten of the sound of the soldiers' sound of the soldiers also flowed into Liangzhou. The copper coins we robbed were the money accumulated by the people of Liangzhou for hundreds of years. If we think so, six hundred thousand million yuan is not much. If we robbed the money of any state in the Central Plains, it would definitely be several times or ten times these."
Kuwa doesn't understand these things. Ajie, who is only a little princess, is also very simple and doesn't have much understanding of copper coins. But Sanya is different. After hearing what he said, he nodded repeatedly.
"If my elder brother robs Zhongyuan, he will definitely rob a lot of money!"
Dong Hu smiled bitterly, Sixty-million-million-money is the copper coins of the entire Liangzhou. Without this money, how can the flow of gold and silver turn?
The north of Yanmen Pass is considered a grassland. The grassland people have very few economic activities, and they only need to ensure salt and iron transactions. The rest do not require too much economic activities. However, with the increase of the number of Han people, some copper coins must be needed. However, the wartime economy is implemented there, and economic activities are greatly restricted. But he did not want Liangzhou to implement a wartime economy, so some gold and silver flows are needed to participate in various transactions. But now all copper coins have been pulled into the treasury by him.
Dong Hu thought about it for a long time...
"Daya, do you still remember the paper money we made back then?"
Da Ya was stunned. After a while, she remembered the paper money he had made. She couldn't help but nodded, but she still looked puzzled.
"Remember."
"Husband, you... don't really want to pay paper money to soldiers, are you? This will cause a big mess! You can't do this so careless!"
