Now Luoding City is a big military camp, all the houses that can live in people are full of people, even so, there are still more than 3,000 people who have nowhere to live, as a last resort, Song Xianggong organized people to clean up a ruin in Xicheng overnight, and it was also thanks to Zhou Shixiang who purchased a batch of tents in Deqing and the green camp, which reluctantly settled people.

The scale of the public treasury has expanded dozens of times compared with before the expedition to Deqing, and the money, grain and materials have been piled up on several acres of land, and it is difficult to assume the responsibility of supervising the public treasury with only the fifty soldiers under Zhao Sihai before, so Zhou Shixiang drew 100 people from the miners of Laofengzhuang to form two teams of soldiers and handed them over to Zhao Sihai for unified command, and Zhao Sihai's position as the general banner was also temporarily promoted to a trial hundred households to cope with the increase in the number of troops under his command.

The public treasury is the important land of money and food in the Taiping camp, and it can be said that it is the lifeblood of the entire Taiping camp. Therefore, the appointment of Zhao Sihai did not arouse the opposition of other chief flag officials, and Tie Yi, the representative of the miners and a Luo disciple, had no opinion on Zhou Shixiang's arrangement to remove the miners.

After expanding the public treasury and managing the army, Song Xianggong drew 200 people from 20 small battalions to take charge of the operation of the public treasury, most of whom were old people around 50 years old, and only a dozen teenagers of 13 or 4 years old. These people are called the treasury army, and their main task is to be responsible for the transportation, transfer, and distribution of materials from the public treasury. Of course, because they were mainly engaged in heavy physical work, they could get half the food they had to eat each day than they had originally set up, and they could also receive some meat and wine at the end of the month.

In addition to the treasury army, Song Xianggong also imitated the establishment of the warehouse of the Lighting Army and set up the post of treasury ambassador, which was held by Lin Wanfu, and his responsibility was to be responsible for the inventory of money, grain and materials in and out of the warehouse.

There are 20 treasury officials below the ambassador of the library, most of whom are men from the Lin family's rice shop. This point was raised by Lin Wanfu himself, saying that he had been following the plan for a long time, and he had done most of this aspect of things before, and he was familiar with it, if he found something he didn't understand, he would inevitably delay his efforts, and it would be even more difficult to explain if he made a mistake. After thinking about it, Song Xianggong felt that this was not a big deal, so he relied on Lin Wanfu.

Because Zhou Shixiang had already revealed to Song Xianggong that he would not stay in Luoding for too long, Song Xianggong transferred most of the vehicles in the battalion to the public treasury for use, and those who could drive were also transferred, so that when the Taiping battalion left Luoding, the money, grain and materials from the public treasury could smoothly set off with the army.

In private, Zhou Shixiang also greeted Song Xianggong, once the situation was unfavorable, the first to protect the public treasury, the second to protect the people. That is, if the Taiping camp loses the battle with the Qing army, then Song Xianggong's task is to ensure that the money and grain of the public treasury can be transferred quickly, and only on the premise of ensuring the safety of the public treasury can the retreat of the old and weak women and children be considered.

What is the subtext of Zhou Shixiang's greeting, Song Xianggong naturally knows that he is no longer the nerd who didn't listen to things outside the window and only read sage books, and more than ten years of experience allowed him to distinguish priorities, and he could also give up the kindness of a woman in his heart. If he is forced to make a choice on that day, he will not hesitate to do what Zhou Shixiang instructs.

There were ambassadors and officials of the treasury, as well as an army of the treasury, so that the management and operation of the treasury began to show scale. The ambassador of the treasury led the treasury officials to be responsible for the registration of the entry and exit of money and grain, the treasury army was responsible for the transportation and distribution of materials, and Zhao Sihai led 150 soldiers of the department to be responsible for the security of the public treasury. The public treasury, after all the manpower is in place, is the first to settle down and the first to operate.

Lin Wanfu couldn't help but be overjoyed after learning that he was appointed as the ambassador of the Taipingying Public Treasury, Zhou Shixiang saw him nodding behind Song Xianggong's ass several times, and when Lin Wanfu saw him, Xu was a little embarrassed because of his daughter.

Lin Wanfu didn't ask Song Xianggong what his daughter was doing with Zhou Shixiang, but he was reprimanded by Song Xianggong for a few words, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask anymore. It's just that every time he sees Zhou Shixiang, his eyes are a bit like his father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, but he doesn't take his daughter to heart at all. Ideologically, he can be regarded as an enlightened person.

Although there are 20 small battalions, and the battalion elders and camp managers are appointed, but for a while and a half, the battalions are still noisy, and it is quite quiet when it was originally one place, everyone knows the roots, looking at the surroundings are hometown people, how can they be sure in their hearts, and they are not suspicious of this and not afraid of that. But some of the camp leaders were improvised campers, such as those who were coerced by Jiang He, looking at the strangers around them, and then thinking about the "extremely vicious" Taiping army, and then thinking about the robbed homes, and looking at the wives and children around them who were also trembling and scared, this heart could not be quiet.

People's hearts, once they can't be still, will always move.

When people's hearts move, things are not good. Naturally, there are few rumors, and there are even more people who secretly want to escape, and in the face of this situation, in addition to strict supervision, Zhou Shixiang is also helpless. Song Xianggong continued to urge the camp elders and the camp management to inspect the camp and do some appeasement work. These arrangements are naturally unnecessary for those who have voluntarily joined the Taiping Camp, and it is useless for those who have been "coerced" to come to you no matter how much you say.

Fortunately, food plays a role that people can't. When the first meal was placed on time in front of the old and weak women and children in each battalion, the hearts of the people finally calmed down a little in the face of food. No matter how bad it is, it will not be bad if you can stutter.

It really took Song Xianggong's lot of effort to arrange meals, and he looked at the past battalion by battalion to see if those camp elders had selected the people to cook, and to see if the pots and stoves in each battalion were complete, and whether the rice was cooked or not. There is no way, this is the first large-scale meal in the Taiping Camp, even if it is just superficial work, Song Xianggong must do it. After this trip, he was so tired that his legs cramped, and he felt that this general affairs money and food officer was not easier than the county magistrate.

Eating is a big deal, and excretion is even more important. Originally, there were only more than 3,000 people in Luoding, but now it has increased more than three times, and there are more people, and there are more yellow and white things. What can the ancient people pay attention to, when people are young to find a corner can be solved, but Luo Ding is located in Guangdong, the weather is getting warmer day by day, if you really let the tens of thousands of people in the city mess with urine, then the sanitary environment has to be?

Zhou Shixiang didn't want the Taiping Camp that had just been formed to encounter such a thing as an epidemic, so he confessed to Song Xianggong and strictly ordered the old organizations of each battalion to dig manure pits in the camp, and men and women went to the toilet separately, and it was strictly forbidden to excrete at the edge of the water source. In addition, drinking hot water has also become an explicit rule in the camp.

On the first day, it was chaotic; The next day, things were still a bit chaotic; On the third day, the situation was no longer chaotic.

After everything in the rear camp was put on track as Zhou Shixiang envisioned, he could finally free up his hands to solve the problem of the miners forming an army.

There are more than 400 miners in Laofengzhuang, and after drawing 100 to Zhao Sihai, how to organize the remaining 300 people, Zhou Shixiang has a little headache.

Tie Yi this young man has a great influence among the miners, Zhou Shixiang saw the respect of those miners for Tie Yi, considering that these miners originally lived in a fixed pattern, they could become an elite force without training, just like the Qi family army was mostly Yiwu miners in Zhejiang, and the elite of the Taiping Army in later generations were all Guangxi miners, Zhou Shixiang naturally wanted to create an elite miner. But whether this force is dispersed or concentrated, he can't make up his mind. While he was pondering this, Tie Yi came to invite him over, saying that he wanted him to see the medicine he had brought from the copper mine

The affairs at home are mostly busy, and the official update will resume tomorrow.
