Zhang Zhun looked at the backs of the old people who left, and always felt that his heart was not very steady. It seems that the concerns of these old people are still very heavy. Of course they want their own fields, and who doesn't want their own fields? However, the three mountains of the imperial court, the rebellion, and Wang Jian were firmly pressed on them. They want to muster up the courage to resist, it's not that simple. Lingshanwei is not a floating mountain, there are too many people, the relationship is too complicated, and everyone's decision must be affected by all aspects. Fang Yu's passion alone may not be able to change this backwater of Lingshanwei! But, no matter what, this pool of stagnant water must be stirred!

Lingshanwei must be firmly controlled in his own hands!

Since dividing the land may not work, then use another way!

"My lord, the materials of the ten warehouses have basically been counted."

At this time, Zhang Lingyun came to report and said that the materials of the ten warehouses had been counted.

Zhang Zhun nodded and came to the area of Hongshi Street, where Shiku was located. Red Rock Street is actually just behind the Red Mansion, and it is connected to the back door of the Red Mansion. When it was originally built, it may have used the same red bricks as the Red Building, so the exterior wall looks the same dark red. Even the bricks that are connected to the upper layer are dark red. The dark red hue always gives people a terrifying feeling of blood, so ordinary people rarely appear here.

The fighters of the convoy have taken control of this place. In front of each warehouse, there are guards. The original guard of the warehouse had already escaped with Wang Jian. The warehouse turned out to be locked with large copper locks, and the fighters did not have a key. However, it doesn't matter, just smash it open. How to smash? Smash with a sledgehammer!

Mo Yu came up and introduced the general situation to Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun walked along the warehouses one by one and looked over slowly.

Among the ten warehouses, the first is the inner transport warehouse, which stores precious materials such as gold and silver, jade, jade, pearls, precious jade, tiger skins, and tooth horns, so naturally there will be no inventory. The whole warehouse was empty, and even rats could starve to death. Judging by the fresh footprints left on the ground, no one has been in for at least a year or two.

Whoever sees such a warehouse can't help but be disappointed. Fortunately, the second warehouse did not disappoint Zhang Zhun. The second Guangji warehouse is filled with sulfur and saltpeter, which are raw materials used to make gunpowder. Approaching this warehouse, you can immediately smell the pungent smell of sulfur.

"This Wang Jian, the collection is okay!

Zhang Zhun looked at the mountains of sulfur and saltpeter in the warehouse, and said to himself.

According to Mo Yu's preliminary statistics, there are at least more than 3,000 catties of sulfur and more than 5,000 catties of saltpeter in the Guangji warehouse. If the convoy continues to have 500 men, the gunpowder produced from it will last for several months. Of course, the premise is that Zhang Zhun doesn't do any big gift packages or anything like that. Such a big gift package is too gunpowder-consuming.

Zhang Zhun was a little puzzled, didn't Wang Jian dislike firecrackers? Even his own family members use bows and arrows and scimitars, how can they store so much saltpeter and sulfur? Later, I learned that each guard in the Ming Dynasty had to hand over a certain amount of materials to the treasury. Saltpeter and sulfur, for example, are among them. There are several mountains next to Lingshanwei, Tiezhu Mountain, Dazhu Mountain, Xiaozhu Mountain or something, all have a little sulfur and saltpeter production, which is said to accumulate over time, but there are also a lot of them. Wang Jian probably withheld these things and refused to hand them over to the treasury slowly, but as a result, Zhang Zhun was cheapened in vain.

The third warehouse is the A-storehouse, which is filled with cloth and paint, and the inside is also empty. However, the bumper harvest of the fourth warehouse dispelled Zhang Zhun's unhappiness. The fourth warehouse is the B-shaped warehouse, which stores materials such as fat jackets, combat shoes, and sergeants' fur hats. At a glance, it was stuffed to the brim, and it was really hearty.

Looking at the military uniform of the Ming army, which can equip 5,000 people, Zhang Zhun could only be speechless. There are no troops, what do you want so many military uniforms for? Even if you buy and sell supplies like military uniforms, no one wants them! It's weird!

Zhang Zhun carefully inspected these military uniforms and found that the quality was okay. In terms of personal ability, Wang Jian is indeed much stronger than Zhao Yinying. These military uniforms produced by Lingshanwei himself are much better than those produced by Aoshanwei himself. At the very least, tear hard, and these military uniforms will not tear easily. Ao Shanwei's is not good, as long as he pulls hard, he will tear it immediately, and he will cut corners.

The convoy doesn't need these supplies for the time being, but with the arrival of winter, these are very good warm clothes. Now Zhang Zhun has the title of commander of Aoshan Guard, and it seems natural for the soldiers of the escort team to wear the uniforms of the Ming army. Even if it's just for show.

"Okay!"

"Take it all!"

"Keep it safe!"

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully.

The fifth is the C-shaped storehouse, which is stored in cotton and silk. It's not empty, it's still some cotton. However, due to poor storage, these cottons are tattered, black, mixed with a large amount of mouse droppings, emitting bursts of foul smell. Even if it is given away for free, I am afraid that no one will dare to accept it, so it has to be disposed of as garbage.

The sixth is a T-shaped storehouse, which stores copper and iron, animal skins, and sumac. The supplies in this warehouse are not bad, there are quite a few of them. It's just that the quality of steel is not as good as it could be. At most, it is used to build agricultural tools, and it is not possible to make weapons, unless you don't want to die. Hides, sumwood, etc., don't seem to be needed for the time being...... Well, no, Xue Zhidie's shipyard seems to be able to use it, so it was allocated to her.

The seventh is the E-word storehouse, and the store is the first one. Includes a variety of armor colors. It can be seen that there should be a lot of things inside. But before Zhang Zhun arrived, they were all extracted and used. Therefore, the number is not very large. What was left behind were very cumbersome iron armor and the like. The new army is basically no longer equipped with iron armor, and these things can only be used for reheating.

The eighth is the Treasury of Stolen Goods, which stores confiscated official property. According to the regulations, all the confiscated materials should be stored here. However, as we all know, usually these fines and confiscations go into private pockets. As a result, the warehouse is also empty.

The ninth, the Guanghui Treasury, stores money, that is, treasure money. Of course, it must be empty inside, and even rats don't come to patronize it. Because, the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty is a joke in itself. The number of issues is too large and too widespread, and the people firmly refuse to use it.

The tenth is the Guangying Warehouse, which stores silk, leno, and silk brocade. Obviously, something of value will never appear here. Therefore, this warehouse, too, is empty, and even rats do not come to patronize it.

In the final inventory, Zhang Zhun's biggest takeaway is:

several thousand pounds of saltpeter; thousands of pounds of sulfur; 5,000 sets of Ming army uniforms; a number of copper and iron, animal skins, and sumac; a number of armors; ...... "My lord, what do you do with these things?" ”

Mo Yu asked softly.

"Saltpeter and gunpowder were handed over to Gao Weifeng, who was the high pole. The copper and iron were handed over to Li Fenglai. The animal skin and Su Mu were handed over to Xue Zhidie. All kinds of uniforms and armor, temporarily in the warehouse, will be talked about later. ”

Zhang Zhun said quickly.

Of all the materials, saltpeter and sulfur were the first to be used. Gao Weifeng, nicknamed "Gao Gongzi", is a craftsman who specializes in making gunpowder in Fushan. Due to Zhang Zhun's fierceness, he was in charge of the granular gunpowder he manufactured, and the quality has always been good. With sufficient raw materials, the convoy will not have to worry about running out of ammunition in the short term.

After coming out of Shiku, Zhang Zhun was in a good mood.

Wang Jian is really a fool, when he leaves, he doesn't know how to set a fire, burn all the ten libraries, and cheapen himself in vain. There was enough saltpeter and brimstone for him to eat a pot. However, when he ran away, I am afraid that he would not have a chance to think of Shiku at all.

At this moment, someone hurriedly reported some special news to Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun frowned and shouted, "Zhang Lingyun, follow me!" ”

Zhang Lingyun didn't know why, so he hurriedly took the soldiers and set off with Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun followed the messenger and came to the back of the Red Mansion. Here, there is a very narrow opening. Accidentally, I thought it was a treasure cave. However, upon entering, a foul smell came. It turned out that this was the water dungeon of the Red Mansion. On the turbid water, mice as big as kittens swam around wantonly, not afraid of Zhang Zhun and others coming in at all. There were even rats running towards the soles of Zhang Zhun's feet, trying to climb up Zhang Zhun's body. It's really bold.

"Smack!"

Zhang Zhun kicked the fat mouse hard against the opposite wall with a casual kick.

"Poof!"

The rat crashed into the wall and died instantly.

Then he slowly slipped off the wall, fell into the stinky water, and remained motionless.

"Gross!"

Behind Zhang Zhun, someone couldn't help but vomit.

The people who were imprisoned in the water dungeon basically rotted their muscles because of the long soaking, and some could even see the white bones of Sensen. There are also prisoners who should have been held for too long, and all the muscles of their bodies have rotted away, leaving only white bones, hanging on rusty chains. A rough count shows that there are hundreds of white bones. Judging from the bones, some of the dead were women.

I can't imagine why Wang Jian is imprisoning all the women here, and what kind of woman she has such a deep grudge against him. The walls next to each of the deceased seem to be engraved with deep ravines, as if they were writing. It's just that because it's been too long and the humidity is heavy, those fonts are unrecognizable. However, one can imagine how much anger each of these words contains.

There is not a single living person.

All dead.

If I guessed correctly, all the people who were put into the water dungeon would starve to death in it, and then turn into the white bones of Sensen. It is impossible to imagine what kind of death process this is. No wonder someone vomits. Normal people really can't imagine all this.

Zhang Zhun suddenly glanced back at Mo Yu.

Mo Yu couldn't help but shudder.

If he is imprisoned here...... "sir...... Is there anything to be done? After all, Zhang Lingyun was young, and he had never seen such a tragic situation, and his voice couldn't help but tremble. In fact, most of the soldiers who followed in just now couldn't stand such a scene anymore and couldn't help but retreat.

Zhang Zhun also felt that his face was a little stiff, and he couldn't bear to look at it more. He didn't say anything and quietly withdrew. After a while, Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "If you catch Wang Jian, just lock him inside." ”

That night, Liu Hang and Liu Baoyu arrived at the Lingshan Acropolis. After a few brief discussions with Zhang Zhun, they would have a comprehensive discussion with Fang Yu and 50 other military household representatives on the issue of dividing the land and land. If the details are all confirmed, a notice can be posted tomorrow morning and the land division will be officially carried out.

Zhang Zhun did not ask these specific questions, and left them to Liu Hang to deal with. However, in the end, the problem still found Zhang Zhun. The discussion only lasted about half an hour, and Liu Baoyu came to report, saying that the enthusiasm of the military households of Lingshanwei was not fully mobilized.

To be precise, it's not just that the enthusiasm is not mobilized, but that there is no enthusiasm at all, and those military households seem a little cunning. Judging from the situation at the meeting, these fields were not divided by them on their own initiative, but forcibly apportioned to them by the convoy. In this way, when Wang Jian came back from killing, they could say that they were forced to accept it, reducing the risk of their homes being exterminated.

"I see."

After listening to Liu Baoyu's report, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but sneer.

I want to get the field again, and I don't want to take risks, it's really slippery!

Well, since you don't want it, why should I be in such a hurry, am I begging you for the land? So many fields, you don't want it, I want it! I'm going to be the biggest landlord! All the fields of Lingshanwei belong to me Zhang Zhun!

In the middle of the night, Zhang Zhun appeared in the hall where the discussion meeting was held.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhang Zhun's body. Probably sensing some strange gazes, some representatives couldn't help but shrink back to avoid eye contact with Zhang Zhun. Others lowered their heads with obvious weakness. Fang Yu's face was ashamed, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun glanced at everyone calmly, and said calmly: "I already know the situation here." I fully accept everyone's opinions, and the matter of dividing the land is postponed. The situation of Lingshanwei's fields remains unchanged for the time being. All the title deeds are handled by me Zhang Zhun! ”

After that, the meeting was adjourned.

The delegates at the meeting looked at each other and wanted to say something, but they didn't know where to start. Zhang Zhun's appearance is completely different from Liu Hang and Liu Baoyu. They simply don't have a chance to speak. Zhang Zhun didn't give them a chance to speak. Fang Yu also wanted to speak and stopped.

Everyone can see that Zhang Zhun is angry!

Zhang Zhun was very angry, and the consequences were serious!

Liu Hang and Liu Baoyu naturally withdrew and followed Zhang Zhun away.
