On 29 July, only four days before the departure of the Liaonan troops, the Liaonan troops were transported back to the town and port of Duli by the four naval battalions of Zhenhai, Nutao, Anlan, and Fubo. In just a few days, they returned with a full load.

More than 100 warships, large and small, were loaded with victorious soldiers and horses of the 10th battalion in southern Liaoning, and countless money and food were stuffed.

And the 500 sea-going ships that Li Jing temporarily transferred to them before the departure of the Liaonan Army had an average load of more than 1,000 stones, and all of the sea-going ships with a height of nearly one million stones were all stuffed to the brim, and even the decks were full of goods.

The Duli Zhenjun and Zhendong Army, who were unable to participate in the robbery of Youzhou, rushed to the dock to watch, and many businessmen and ordinary people also rushed to take a look. Hundreds of large ships slowly entered the port, and then docked on the pier of Changxing Island one by one.

The first small boat was the first to dock, and it was Qin Zongshou who came ashore, as well as Shi Shoucheng and Jiang Ju, two soldiers and horses of the Liaonan Army, and Li Xu, the ten generals of the Zhenhai Battalion, Mei Gan, the ten generals of the Nutao Battalion, Zhu Li, the ten generals of the Anlan Battalion, Zhang Lie, the ten generals of the Anlan Battalion, Meng Yang, the ten generals of the Fubo Battalion, Wu Qian, and other officers.

The officers who had just landed were all overjoyed, and when they saw Li Jing, they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects. Qin Zongshou smiled at Li Jing and said: "General, the brothers have gained a lot this time, a total of six county towns in Youzhou have been attacked, and several other battalions have also looted dozens of markets and villages. It's a pity that there are too few boats, and many things can't be fitted. If only I could have more boats. Not much. There is only the kind of 20,000 stone and state loads. It's enough to give a dozen or twenty. ”

Li Jing was also in a good mood, and scolded with a smile: "There are still dozens of Hezhou loads, that is, the five hundred sea ships dispatched this time, and most of them are temporarily borrowed from the caravans of Duli Town, Qingnicheng and Dengzhou Port. Nahe Zhouzai was originally dedicated to the canal and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but it was not easy to borrow ten this time, and you still want more than ten or twenty. Do you want to move Youzhou directly? ”

Shi Shoucheng looked at Li Jing with anticipation: "Young marshal, I can't get enough harvest this time, so I hurriedly counted it when I was at sea." The copper coins that were snatched were about 1 million yuan. There are more than 2 million horses of silk, more than 2 million horses of linen, and more than 30,000 horses of fine silk materials such as silk and satin. In addition, there are some gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry. In addition, some valuable goods taken from the six cities can also be worth about one million. ”

Li Jing smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Shi Shoucheng.

Shi Shoucheng didn't dare to hide anything, and continued to report: "In addition, we know that food is precious now, so we specially moved the grain from the grain depots and grain stores in the six cities onto the ship, even the grain in those houses. It's all been searched. Good fellows, the grain of the six cities combined. There were more than 500,000 stones. Fortunately, our sailors drove the boat directly to the city, otherwise we would not have been able to take it away. ”

"In addition, we also robbed 100,000 young men and women back!" The last one, Shi Shoucheng was a little weak when he said it.

Needless to say, Li Jing had already seen that the decks of those ships on the harbor were crowded with terrified people. Moreover, long before the fleet entered the port, Li Xu and Meghan had already sent people back in advance to inform Li Jing of the results of this dispatch. In contrast, Li Jing is very clear about this harvest.

When he first heard that he had robbed 100,000 Youzhou Qingzhuang and came back, Li Jing was also a little startled. This shocked him even more than Li Jing when he learned that they had actually captured six county seats. Conquering six cities was a bit of a surprise, but robbing 100,000 people back was really an accident within an accident.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the generals in southern Liaoning, he knew what these people were waiting for, they were waiting for him to fulfill the promise he made before sending the troops and send them half of the harvest.

After Li Jingluo pondered for a while, he said on the spot: "According to what was said before the expedition, half of the income of the various units going out will be handed over to the army, and the army will take out 20% of it to distribute it to the officers and soldiers of the remaining armies, and the rest will be returned to the army to raise the army." The other half, according to the agreement, was retained by the soldiers who won it. ”

"The general is wise!" Shi Shoucheng and the others were very excited at this time, and it was also unexpected for them to grab so much money, food, and property. When he came back, he was both happy and a little worried, afraid that Li Jing would regret it and refuse to give them half of it.

At that moment, Li Jing called in many staff officers and soldiers to help calculate and register the valuation of the money and grain goods unloaded on each ship. According to the most recent statistics, all the money, grain, cloth and goods in Youzhou this time are worth more than 6 million, which is not counting the 100,000 population. Among them, 500,000 stone grain alone is now worth more than 2 million yuan, and the silk cloth is also worth about 3 million.

directly robbed six of the prosperous county towns in Youzhou, and also robbed a lot of villages and township markets, and those shops and warehouses on the canal were directly emptied by them.

Li Jing did not tell the truth, and asked the sergeant on the spot to collect half of the money and grain worth three million into the army. Three million, Li Jing took out another 600,000 guan and distributed it to the 14,000 Zhendong Army and 5,000 Duli Zhenjun who stayed behind. On average, each soldier who stayed behind received thirty dollars this time. Of course, the money is not evenly divided, it has to be lowered according to the grade, but the least one of the inferior soldiers has also been divided into twenty yuan.

Of course, for the sake of convenience and speed, Li Jing issued banknotes to the soldiers from the Four Seas Bank. Twenty yuan, just two banknotes with a face value of ten yuan are done. If you need it, you can buy it with money.

The remaining three million guan, the ten battalions in southern Liaoning did not get all of them, Shi Shoucheng and Qin Zongshou and others offered to count the four sailor battalions together and divide them equally. Li Jing naturally had no objection to this, and the other Liaonan soldiers also felt that it should be, without the sailors boldly driving directly into the Youzhou River, they would not have been able to achieve such a big harvest.

Fourteen battalions, 14,000 men divided into 3 million, each received an average of 214 yuan, which was a huge reward even for a middle-ranking officer. In the end, it was still the same, Li Jing asked the Zhendong Army to collect all the materials, money and grain into the warehouse, and then directly issued banknotes to the Liaonan soldiers and sailors.

Three million were issued, and the lowest rank of the inferior soldiers received one hundred and forty dollars. Although the 140 guan was only replaced with a stack of large banknotes that still exuded the smell of ink, during this period of time, the Liaonan soldiers had been in contact with the Zhendong Army for a long time, and they had already known that the road was in Dengzhou and the Zhendong Army, and they had already issued this kind of banknotes instead of food. Although it is just a piece of paper, it can be bought and consumed, and it is much more convenient than copper coins, and there is no need to worry about not being able to buy things without value, and everyone happily accepted it.

The ship's supplies were still being unloaded at the port wharf, but since the Zhendong Army had already sent people and Liaonan officers to estimate the value of the goods, they didn't have to wait for all the goods to be unloaded, and they had already received a share of them. Although such an estimate is not accurate enough, the actual cargo is definitely more than six million, but everyone has already got hundreds of dollars when they go to sea, and who cares about the remainder.

Now all the money and goods belong to the Zhendong Army, and it has nothing to do with everyone. The Liaonan soldiers, who were carrying the banknotes in their arms, did not leave immediately.

There are still 100,000 young men waiting to be distributed, since the integration of southern Liaoning, up to senior officers such as Shi Shoucheng, Jiang Ju, Qin Zongshou, down to ordinary soldiers, almost all have been allocated a piece of land, most of them are thousands of acres, and some are more than ten or twenty or thirty acres. Moreover, the wasteland is being reclaimed vigorously in various places, and most of the sergeants' homes are also cultivating wasteland, which is the time when labor is needed.

In the past, the Goguryeo and Khitan people often did this, plundering the Han people when they were gathering grass, becoming their slaves and cultivating for them. Therefore, they robbed so many young people back this time, and they fought with the idea of letting these people cultivate for everyone.

Li Jing knew everyone's plans very well, but even if the other party's group of people were Youzhou people who had already disobeyed the Tang Dynasty, they were also Han people. Slave his own compatriots, this thing, he can't do. This is different from face-to-face tearing on the battlefield, either you die or I die.

After thinking for a long time, he turned his head to look at Li Zhen and several masterminds, and their eyes were not very appreciative of turning the people of Youzhou into slaves. The literati are not like military generals, and they read a lot of subsets of classics, and their hearts are influenced by Confucianism after all.

"These robbed Youzhou people, in my opinion, each soldier in the left and right compartments of southern Liaoning can leave two, the gang commander can leave four at the head level, the general can leave six, the battalion-level officer can leave eight, and the box-level general can leave ten. The brothers of the four battalions of the water division also followed this, and the soldiers of the Zhendong Army and Duli Town were halved accordingly. Li Jing said thoughtfully.

The officers of the various ministries who had been waiting for the division of slaves listened attentively, and did not object to such a division when they heard it, so that the division was more even. Everyone has made a lot of money before, so they don't particularly care about this.

After listening to the distribution plan, the generals of the various ministries wanted to pick people.

"Wait!" Li Jing said loudly: "I haven't finished my words yet. He coughed and said slowly: "Although these are all the people of Youzhou, they are also our Tang compatriots. If it is a Hu people, I have no objection to everyone taking them as their own slaves, but for our compatriots, we should not enslave them in this way. I propose that these people, after they have been assigned to each family, be treated as tenants, and let them help you to clear the cultivated land and pay a certain amount of tax. The rest of the food is left for them to live on. The rent shall be set at six for you. ”

Many generals were a little surprised, they didn't expect that Li Jing would make such a proposal in the end.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Jing said a little heavily: "This is a request from me Li Jing to everyone on behalf of these people in Youzhou!" ”

Li Jing said this part, although the generals were not very satisfied, but the last had to step forward and say: "I will obey the order!" ”

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although in the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, human life was not as good as a dog, but there were some limitations that he still couldn't give up. (To be continued......)
