Chapter 85

Zhou Wentong was basically shocked when he heard what Wang pangzi said. He knew that this matter could not contain the fire and would break out one day, but he didn't expect to come so soon.

No matter whether he was in a daze or not, Wang pangzi directly asked, "give me a quasi letter. When will you pay back the money?"

Zhou Wentong said, "since you say so, you can't pay back the money."

Wang pangzi said with a sneer, "I can't pay it back. I'll tell you. As soon as the imperial court orders to deprive you of your official status, I'll buckle you up, peel off your skin and tear down your bones. Anyway, you can owe anyone, but you can't owe me Wang pangzi."

Zhou Wentong knew that he was completely finished, so he had to beg him and said, "Master Wang, please give me a grace period. When the Japanese officials and relatives collect taxes themselves, they will pay you back."

Wang pangzi said to him, "if you allow a period of time, can you send your second aunt to let me enjoy it for a few days? As long as you return the money one day, you will get it back to you one day."

Zhou Wentong has sold everything he can sell at home since the accident. He has nothing to sell except his wife and aunt. Now the other party has even made an idea to her. He is angry with him. He said, "what does this mean? You are gentle and sweeping the floor."

Wang pangzi spit directly and spit on his face. He scolded: "dog day! Still gentle? Today I will send someone to pick up your aunt, and those who know the truth will quickly raise money. Otherwise, don't blame me if you buy one and get one free."

After Wang pangzi said a cruel word angrily, he took his group of evil slaves and Diao slaves away, leaving Zhou Wentong and a cadre of Yamen service River leaders in disorder in the wind.

When the evil slaves left, Constable Li Xiaoqiang ran out again. He said, "what should I do now, sir?"

Zhou Wentong sighed in his heart, "the depilated Phoenix is not as good as the chicken." he said, "now I don't know what to do. Go back to the county government first and then make a long-term plan."

However, when they returned to the county yamen, they found that several of his followers had gone away, and only the Yamen servants in the county yamen were left. They had one advantage, that is, they were not invited by the county magistrate, but by the county yamen. They were formal workers. The elders were temporary workers, and the temporary workers ran away.

Zhou Wentong lamented, "you can be rich and noble, you can't share weal and woe."

Zhou Wentong returned to the county government office with a lot of worries. He was thinking about what to do tomorrow and collecting more taxes. His aunt brought him a cup of tea. Her second aunt was pale. She said, "Wang Wensheng in the city threatened to rob my concubine to be a temporary wife. Sir, you have to decide for my concubine."

For this matter, Zhou Wentong was helpless. He could only say: "Wang Wensheng, he is just angry and open-ended nonsense. Just ignore him. Don't go out these days. Don't go out, even if you go to Shangxiang. Just stay in the government office."

He didn't dare to confront the other party openly, but he also knew that the other party should not dare to rush into the government office directly to rob people. His wife hid in the county government office, which is estimated to be safe.

But the second aunt said to her, "what if you don't go out? Now the changsui and the servants have run away. If I don't go out, who will buy rice and who will buy vegetables?"

As soon as the servants ran away, Zhou Wentong was very angry. He said: "a group of Diao slaves, when the master has done this and passed this level, we must catch them back. Everyone can beat 50 boards and go to the army for 3000 miles to relieve the official's hatred."

Zhou Wentong said to him, "you'd better listen to my official. Don't go out recently. Let Yanqing buy vegetables?" Yanqing is his main house. He's over 50 this year. He's old and weak. I'm sure the other party won't make her mind, right? Unlike his second aunt, who is too young and beautiful, he also knows that if his second aunt is too robbed by the other party, he will lose his face. It is a sweep of the floor and has become a joke in this area.

Since Zhou Wentong knew that the other party threatened to sue the court, he was in a panic all day. He knew that once the top knew about it, he would immediately order his dismissal. Once he was dismissed, he would be dead, but as for how to go in the future, he would not know what to do, so he had to go step by step.

After Liu Buhe took over Jimo camp forcefully, he began to check the materials and files in the camp. Jimo camp can be said to be one of the worst areas in the Wuqiao mutiny last year. Even the camp city was broken down by the rebels, most of the houses burned down, and more than half of the people in the city were killed and injured. Now there are so many people living here, who moved in later to borrow from the displaced people, It can be said that Jimo camp, which used to be powerful for a while, is in a semi disabled state. Now the battalion members can't bear the responsibility of the guard. Now the remaining disabled and defeated soldiers don't even have a fraction of the original. They just grow vegetables and fields locally and make a living.

Moreover, last year's war completely broke their souls. They didn't dare to be soldiers anymore. Even the new commander-in-chief came to summon them. Many of them could hide. Maybe their idea was to be a cowardly peace dog rather than a soldier again.

Their situation is worse than that of Fushan Institute. They have tossed 40 or 50 qualified servants in Fushan Institute, but there is basically no one here. Those who come to sign up for him are either disabled or disabled. It is estimated that they also have an idea. Your commander-in-chief can't let a disabled person become a soldier and go to war.

Liu Bu saw that these people were so miserable, and he had no choice. He knew that there was no oil and water from here, so he had to order the more than 200 people who came to report for duty to reward 50 kilograms of rice each.

These people are so miserable. What else can he do?

These disabled and defeated generals were grateful for seeing that Qianhu adults didn't get angry and rewarded them with 50 meters each. When they inquired, they knew that the new Qianzong adult was originally from Jiaozhou and the eldest son of the famous Liu family in Linqing, Shandong. The eldest son of the aristocratic family was really extraordinary. They were very happy and thanked them again.

Liu Bu asked Liu Zhongyong to transfer 800 Ding to come here, including 100 archers. Their current manpower can still defend the station of Jimo camp.

After Liu Zhongyong brought his troops here, he handed them over to Liu Kang and Liu Yu. He himself returned to Fushan to continue training.

As soon as Liu Bu's shelf became bigger, he found that he still had insufficient information and there were not many officers available. For example, there were not many officers around him. Liu Kang used to be his long-term servant, and Liu Yu was an empty childe. It was good to wear armor and run out. In addition, Yang Sheng and Mao Shengli? Fortunately, he has reserve candidates and has promoted a number of talents from the recently well behaved family members to serve as grass-roots command officers.

Liu Bu lamented that he should not be a bastard. After waiting here for so long, the celebrities he directly dealt with were Chen Yuanyuan and song xiance. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were so many celebrities and so many generals. He didn't attract any celebrities, but the enemy recruited a lot.

After all, Liu Bu has been in charge of Fushan Institute for so long. A city also gets a little from how to manage a military camp. Jimo camp is a small city.

He knows that the most important thing to run a city is food, clothing, housing and transportation. They have some experience in this aspect, so the next step he needs to solve is the problem of food. He went to the granary of Jimo camp, which is full of weeds and starved rats. There is no food available, We had to order the organization to transport a batch of grain from Fushan.

The food of the Taiping army is the best at present, and they need a lot of meat. They still buy it from nearby villages or Jimo County in the short term, but this is not the way, so Liu Bu decided to organize people to raise it here.

They have set up pig farms, chicken farms and duck farms here, as well as quilt factories and farms. They are ready to recruit a large number of people to make these logistics things for him. If his troops want to get a foothold here, they must first start these logistics things.

The first thing to be solved is the problem of clothing, food and housing, but the first thing to be solved is food. They can transport a large amount of food here from Linqing. His soldiers are enough and won't go hungry, but he can't bear to watch more than 2000 military people in Jimo camp go hungry. He can see that the old people and children in these cities are all skin and bones hungry, and the adults and people are numb, Liu Bu came to a conclusion after he walked around the city, that is, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Even in a military camp, it should be even worse in the rural areas with worse taxes than the military camp.

Therefore, after Liu Bu's military grain arrived, he immediately ordered to allocate part of the military grain for disaster relief.

The way is to give each of these people 20 kilograms of rice to support for a while. Later, he began to set up his pig farm, duck farm and chicken farm on a large scale. They bought these pigs and chickens to set up workshops and recruit people, so that some old people and women can do what they can. To be honest, It is impossible for him to support more than 2000 people in the whole Jimo camp, and he can't afford it, but he can not only provide jobs, but also reduce the logistics pressure of the Taiping Army by arranging the other party to do some easy logistics work for them. This is killing two birds with one stone.

After all, the logistics system of their Taiping army is very complex and huge. They spent a lot of effort just maintaining food, so they also need to hire people. Therefore, Liu Bu did not make big moves as soon as he entered here, and there was no time to see Zhou Wentong.
