Chapter 65 Holy Treasury
"Second son, what are you doing, hoeing the ground! What! You still want Nai Gong to hoe?"
Seeing his son in a daze, Zhang Gouzi immediately scolded him.
Humph, even though the second son is a person, he is still my son.
As soon as his father woke him up, Zhang Chong woke up from the general situation of the world just now. Looking at the two acres of land waiting to be plowed, Zhang Chong opened his mouth.
No matter how much you know, you still have to plow the ground in the end.
In the days that followed, Zhang Chong and his troops hoed a total of 100 hectares of land in three nearby docks. After enjoying the hospitality carefully prepared by the farmers, Zhang Chong took his troops back to the mountain. .
On the way, Ding Sheng and Li Damu were talking:
"Damu, when you were a grain customer for others, how could they calculate the grain for you?"
Li Damu has been tired for a day, and he doesn't really want to talk to him, but who wants this Ding Daqi to take care of him on weekdays?
Last year, as the only general who didn't know martial arts, he, Li Damu, had always had a low self-esteem. He even felt stiff when he went into battle for the first time. This matter has always made him worried.
Later, it was Ding Sheng who taught him martial arts and Tian Jun who taught him riding, and he became a qualified general.
It's just that his qualifications are too terrifying in the eyes of others.
Li Damu was already strong enough to pull an ox, and this year he had enough food to train his troops in martial arts. It can be said that no one in the army except Zhang Chong was his opponent.
Later, Zhang Chong also trained Li Damu to learn the art of halberd throwing. It was not Zhang Chong who taught him. Zhang Chong inherited the martial arts from Gold Finger and could not teach anyone else.
Zhang Chong specially invited Mou Zong, the mountain tiger from Shigu Mountain, who is said to be the most powerful warrior in Shigu Mountain, to teach Damu.
Ever since Kui from Shigu Mountain rescued Zhang Chong's father, the two families have been very close.
It is worth mentioning that the queen of Shigu Mountain is a girl named Zhou Ji. She inherited the village from her father and is now Mou Zong's first wife.
Mou Zong was also attentive. Although he didn't know why Zhang Chong didn't teach Zhang Chong, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, and asked him to do it himself. Maybe he thought that my halberd throwing skills were more powerful? Hey hey hey!
At this point, Li Damu truly became a stable general.
So no matter how tired he was, Li Damu still replied to Ding Sheng:
"Why are you asking this? We all ate at the master's house, and in the end we were given three bushels of grain each."
Ding Sheng regretted it as soon as he heard it. He patted Li Damu's thick shoulder, but unfortunately:
"Spicy grains, Na Nai Gong works for those farmers down the mountain for a day, and at least he has to give three more bushels of grain!
Damu, you said they are so beautiful. Our boss gave them land and asked us to hoe it. I think they are more beautiful than those rich villagers before! Look at us now, there is nothing! "Hey"
Hearing Ding Sheng say strange things again, Li Damu didn't answer him.
He knew what Ding Sheng was complaining about, which was the holy treasury system implemented by Kui, that is, all seizures belonged to the holy treasury, and then the holy treasury guaranteed the logistics of the entire army.
Li Damu actually likes this. He doesn't have to worry about what to eat today, and he doesn't have to think about what is available or not. The whole army eats the same way, lives the same way, and has the same mentality, because it is fair.
But Ding Sheng didn't like it. He liked wine and meat, but the whole army didn't have such things for him. He just thought about going to Tiantou at the foot of the mountain to buy some.
But Master Ding has no money. He only has a knife and a collar. If he dares to sell these, he will definitely chop off his head.
There was no choice but for Ding Sheng to forget all this and concentrate on training the old brothers in his village. He would try his best to win the first place in the big competition, and then he would be rewarded with food and wine.
Ding Sheng was actually complaining to Li Damu. He also saw the benefits of this holy treasury system. The whole army was equal. The morale of the army was much better than that of the water bandits he had lost back then.
He also found a benefit: since they defeated Gongsun Qi, more and more Shanliao people nearby had surrendered to the army.
What attracts them is this holy treasury system. As long as you join the Shi Family Army, you can have enough to eat! What a temptation!
So Ding Sheng knew that even on these two points, Qu Kui would not give up the holy treasury system.
Ding Sheng was right. Zhang Chong learned this system from the successful experience of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations. Once it was used, there was an endless stream of people who defected to the army.
Sure enough, for the poor people, egalitarianism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Duman is also very satisfied because his voice is also increasing. He and his younger father Zhang Bingnan, one was in charge of internal affairs and the other was in charge of logistics, and each was in charge of a part of the holy treasury. It could be said that the food and clothing of the entire army were taken care of by the two of them.
The holy treasury was filled with corn that had been seized and harvested from the dock wall at the foot of the mountain. In addition, half of the money and grain allocated from the nearby Taiping Road was used. It was the holy treasury that supported Zhang Chong's army expansion and training.
By the way, when we broke through the mountain wall before, we wanted to share the riches of the local tycoons with the disciples, but none of these disciples dared to ask for it.
Zhang Chong thought of a trick. He ordered his people to put the money and silk from the local wealthy families into the disciples' caves in the middle of the night. Sure enough, no one took the initiative to hand over the money the next day.
In fact, Zhang Chong has many tricks, and he will show them one by one later.
Really, no one knows how to distribute wealth better than him.
Of course Zhang Chong, who was walking at the head of the team, didn't know that Ding Daqi was arranging him in the team again. He was very happy now, not only the joy of satisfaction after hard work, but also seeing the changes in the entire army.
He now has an army of two thousand, which can be divided into four parts. The leader is the old brother who first made an oath with him in the forest, then the disciples he recruited after breaking the Xue family wall, then the water bandits and mountain bandits who surrendered, and finally the Taishan bandits who just surrendered.
Zhang Chong hopes to use this kind of collective labor to eliminate the barriers in the army. Of course, he is not naive enough to think that this can eliminate the barriers in the army. That is unrealistic.
But giving them a sense of belonging is indeed something Zhang Chong can work hard to do.
At this moment, Zhang Chong saw Yu Jin in the collision team again. After his surrender, Zhang Chong did not let him lead troops, but put him in his collision team for training.
Zhang Chong has always attached great importance to the training of grassroots military officials. He will select any warriors who emerge from the army into his own collision team.
On the one hand, he established a relationship with him, and on the other hand, he taught him the art of literature and war. As long as he can master four hundred words, he will be released to lead troops.
In addition, Wangzhoufeng Dazhai also has a school to train future civil servants, and the students are all the children of the old brothers in Dashangli.
Previously, thanks to the help of Shigushan, the family members of the old brother who accompanied him on the watch all entered the mountain safely.
In the beginning, he fought with bandits in the mountains every day, so naturally he didn't think much about training civil servants. It was too unrealistic.
But later he became Zhang Liang's disciple and defeated Gongsun Qi. The external environment suddenly became calmer, so the school opened.
At present, the teaching content is limited to literacy and arithmetic, which is enough for Zhang Chong at present.
As a famous general in the future, Yu Jin is actually somewhat talented now. Among this batch of collision teams, the art of war drills are outstanding.
At this moment, Zhang Chong was amused when faced with such a historical figure. He suddenly called Yu Jin and asked such a question, and then Yu Jin's face turned red!
