The dead have long since passed away, and the living are often in mourning.
The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living must look forward.
"Zhiyuan, the aftermath of the fallen brothers must not be careless. What was done before must be done now. We cannot lower the standards of the funeral just because so many people died this time. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Luo Zhiyuan's expression was serious: "Brother Chao, these are the captured trophies. Take a look."
With that said, Luo Zhiyuan placed a list in front of Yun Chao.
Yun Chao picked it up and took a look. If it weren't for the fact that too many of his men had been sacrificed, he would have burst out laughing.
The bandits in Onozawa fled in such a hurry that they took almost no supplies with them.
Not only did they not take away the supplies they grabbed in Dongping Mansion, they even kept the supplies they brought when they came.
Thousands of war horses, nearly ten thousand swords, guns and shields, thousands of sets of armor, a large number of baggage vehicles, and a large number of pack horses transporting supplies.
These were the bandits' own supplies. It was even more shocking to look at the things they robbed in Dongping Mansion.
Because the autumn grain has just been harvested and has not yet been transported to other places, there is a lot of grain seized. According to preliminary estimates, it is at least one million dan!
Of course, Yun Chao doesn't care how much of the millions of stones of grain was stolen by Onezawa bandits from wealthy families.
Almost all the rich families in the city were killed by the bandits.
Not only their grain reserves, but also the gold and silver treasures hidden at home were made cheaper by the Onoza bandits, and now they were made cheaper by Yun Chao.
Even if those wealthy households still have families outside the city, Yun Chao has no intention of returning the food and money, because these things were seized by him from the Onoza bandits and have nothing to do with those wealthy households.
The gold and silver stolen by the Onezawa bandits was at least one million taels.
It is impossible to tell how much belongs to the government and how much belongs to the wealthy households in the city.
In addition to gold and silver, there are also various pearls, jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The exact value of these things has not yet been estimated, at least it will not be less than one million taels.
If the grain is converted into silver, Yun Chao's income from the goods alone during his trip to Dongping Mansion will be at least more than three million taels, and possibly even four million taels!
However, this is not the final number.
Because the Onezawa bandits were busy causing harm to others after entering the city, they did not fully search for the wealth of the wealthy households in the city.
After Yun Chao took over Dongping Mansion, he immediately sent people to launch a blanket search.
It only took two days to find multiple secret warehouses in the homes of wealthy families in the city. The gold, silver and jewelry seized were worth at least one million taels!
Yun Chao really didn't expect that a small Dongping Mansion could have as much as five million taels in just its free money!
No wonder so many people like to be bandits. Robbery is faster than farming with your ass stuck out!
In this regard, Yun Chao still had a good life and did not touch the property of ordinary people.
If we scrape every inch of the entire Dongping Mansion, whether it's the rich, the middle class, or even the poor, it shouldn't be a problem to get another one to two million taels!
Not only did Yun Chao not raid the people, he also posted notices to calm the people, organized the people to collect corpses, repair city walls, renovate streets, and maintain order in the city...
The work-for-relief method is used to help those people who have no livelihood to tide over the difficulties.
At first, the people in Dongping Prefecture thought that Yun Chao was going to collect corvees, and they were extremely frightened.
Who would have thought that by working for Yunchao, not only would he not have to bring his own food, but he would also be able to eat three full meals a day.
As soon as the news spread, the entire Dongping Mansion exploded!
The temptation of three full meals a day is not something that ordinary people can resist. Not to mention the poor, even the small middle class with a little savings come to work.
Yun Chao doesn't care about some people fishing in troubled waters, he now wants to make a name for himself as quickly as possible.
In a short period of time, his reputation will not only surpass that of Onozawa's bandits, but also surpass that of the previous government!
Fortunately, Yun Chao did it.
The Yun family army will not take advantage of the masses, let alone bully the common people.
Even if he sees an older girl or a younger daughter-in-law, he won’t do anything, let alone do that beastly thing!
That's enough.
These days, people really don’t ask for much.
No matter which force can treat them as human beings, as long as the most basic right to survival is guaranteed, the people will love this force as much as they protect their own eyes.
After becoming famous, Yun Chao immediately began to recruit troops.
This recruitment is not limited to Qingyang County, as long as ordinary people within Dongping Prefecture can sign up.
Of course, the old rules cannot be changed and someone must guarantee them.
There were hundreds of undercover people in the Dongping Army who vouched for it, and there were quite a few people from other counties who were recommended. Most of them were Dongping Army soldiers that Dong Ping had recently recruited.
Because they have not worked under Dong Ping for a long time, they have not learned the bad habits of the old Dongping Army. They are often brainwashed by the undercover Yun Family Army. In addition, they have received a period of professional training. They are definitely the good sources of soldiers that Yun Chao needs most at this stage. .
In addition, Yun Jiajun also has many relatives in other counties. They are all from Dongping Prefecture. They are all fellow villagers. It is normal to have several relatives from other counties.
As a result, the number of soldiers was quickly filled up.
There are a total of five thousand recruits, all of whom are physically qualified and good-looking young men.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time, and the Onezawa bandits only captured Dongping City, and the county seat under the jurisdiction of Dongping Prefecture was still in the hands of the imperial court.
If the Onezawa bandits are given some more time and Yun Chao leads his troops to kill them after they have conquered each county, maybe the entire Dongping Prefecture will belong to Yun Chao!
Ahem, it should be said that they are all from the imperial court.
Yun Chao was a serious county captain. Of course, the city he snatched back from the bandits belonged to the imperial court.
…
On this day, Magistrate Sun found Yun Chao.
"Yun... Brother, Dongping Mansion has been recovered for several days. When are you going to write a report to the court?"
Yun Chao was stunned: "Old Sun, is there such a thing? After regaining Dongping Mansion, you still need to write a report to the court?"
Magistrate Sun rolled his eyes, you just pretend, I don't believe you don't even know this.
"Of course I have to write it, otherwise the imperial court would not know what happened in Dongping Mansion. Maybe it would still think that the original Magistrate Cheng is in charge now!"
"real or fake?"
Yun Chao scratched his head innocently: "Isn't it possible? How inefficient is the imperial court? As soon as the bandits arrive, won't the superiors know about it? I'm still waiting for the imperial army."
Magistrate Sun's face was darker than the bottom of the pot: "You know what, if Magistrate Cheng had not asked the court for help, maybe a month or two would have passed and the court would not have known about what happened in Dongping Mansion. Even if it spread among the people, the higher-ups would The boss may not know, or he may pretend not to know!"
Yun Chao's eyes lit up: "Oh, is it really that good?"
Magistrate Sun: "..."
