Entering the hall of the Hou Mansion, Zhu Tianming left only a few key people behind. At this time, Ji Hongyun reported:
"Tianshu Town is currently being handled by Mr. Hou Yongshou. The population is already 40,000 and there are too few officials. There are only 300 people now. Mr. Hou is working hard to train them.
Military affairs are under the full authority of General Zhou Zheng. The earthen walls of the three villages of Tianji, Tianxuan and Tianquan have been completed.
The low-level formation masters and restraint masters brought back by Master Shen Chong have also carved out many restraint formations. If Dai Jin comes to attack, there will definitely be a surprise. "
Zhu Tianming nodded. Zhu Tianming could rest assured about the defense of Tianshu Town.
Shen Chong has been there for more than ten days, and his apprentice can almost complete the drawing of some basic formations and restrictions.
Zhou Zheng is experienced and capable of defending Tianshu Town, which covers an area of more than a thousand square kilometers.
More than three thousand soldiers are completely enough.
I don’t know if the Zhoutian Star Flag Formation has been painted yet, but Zhu Tianming is looking forward to it.
When Ji Hongyun finished speaking, Sun Chao immediately said:
"To your lord, this is what we have collected from the Zhou family. Please take a look at it."
Zhu Tianming said:
"Read it out!"
For more than ten days, all private soldiers and dead soldiers of the Zhou family were killed. Most of the people in the prison were clan members, slaves, and servants of the Zhou family.
All the spiritual fields, land, hidden population, shops, forest land, and mineral veins of the Zhou family were confiscated.
Sun Chao immediately read:
"In terms of ordnance, we received three thousand refined long knives, one thousand five-star repeating crossbows, three thousand refined armors, one thousand refined long bows, and twenty thousand arrows."
"Three million catties of grain and three hundred thousand catties of spiritual rice.
There are 3,000 elixirs of various types below 100 years old, 30 elixirs from 100 to 500 years old, 3 elixirs from 500 to 1,000 years old, and none above. "
“There are more than 5,000 shops in various small towns and towns plus the big city of Yongbei.
There are 100,000 spiritual crystal coins, 1,000 spiritual crystal stones, 200,000 gold coins, 2 million silver coins, and countless coppers. "
"The hidden spiritual fields are 10,000 hectares, the fields are 10,000 hectares, and the hidden population is 20,000 hectares.
There are 4 iron ore veins, one large iron ore vein, one medium-sized iron ore vein, and two small iron ore veins. All kinds of stone ores are not included. Mountains and forests are not included. There are no material ore veins. "
Zhu Tianming made rapid calculations in his mind.
These things may seem like a lot, but they are actually not much. 3,000 elixirs can be enough for 46,000 troops to take medicinal baths for a month at most.
The money and salary were all gone after several payments, but the money still had to go to Zhu Tianming's own palace. Later, when taxes came up, the money would be spent by taxes.
The money and elixir Zhu Tianming gained this time were not intended to be given to others.
Once the government is opened, the internal funds and the money in the government treasury should be clearly separated.
Public is public, private is private.
Spiritual rice and grain can be distributed or supplied to the army. 300,000 kilograms of spiritual rice can be consumed by the army in a month.
As for various types of shops, it is not surprising that there are so many shops in five small towns, 33 small towns, and one big city.
Most shops are still concentrated in the five small towns and the large town of Yongbei.
As for the land, mineral veins, and mountain forest land, they are the key.
150,000 square kilometers, a full 2.25 million hectares of land, excluding nearly half of the mountain forests and mineral veins, there are still 1.2 million hectares, and excluding the land for city construction, there are still one million hectares of land.
There are only 1,000,000 hectares of land in total, and the Zhou family only occupies one-tenth of it, which is really greedy.
Zhu Tianming said immediately:
"Everything will be returned to the Marquis Mansion, and the former City Lord's Mansion will be renovated in preparation for the opening of the Mansion in half a month."
Everyone said:
"promise!"
Sun Chao continued:
“In addition to these, 1,000 Small Returning Pills, 300 Large Returning Pills, and 100 Jingyuan Pills were also seized;
There are 100 low-grade instruments, 8 medium-grade instruments, 2 high-grade instruments, and no top-grade instruments.
There are one thousand low-level spells, 200 intermediate spells, and 10 high-level spells.
There are also various talents, including 5 low-level alchemists and one intermediate alchemist; 3 low-level weapon refiners, no intermediate weapon refiners, formation masters, restraint masters, and Feng Shui masters;
The highest level of various talents is senior, with a total of more than 500 people. "
Zhu Tianming still said:
"They will all be transferred to the Hou Mansion, and all kinds of deputy personnel will be sent back to Tianshu Town."
"promise!"
Then came the various subsidies for killing the injured and dead soldiers of the Zhou family, and Zhu Tianming all received them one by one.
The news reached the military camp, and the group of soldiers returned home completely.
At this time Ji Hongyun said:
"Master Marquis, we have no money left in the treasury. Look..."
Last time, Zhu Tianming gave Ji Hongyun 3,000 spiritual crystal coins, 3,000 gold coins, and 40,000 silver coins. After spending this time, his salary was almost gone.
Zhu Tianming said:
"You go back and draw up a memorial to me first."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Tianming said to Sun Chao and Wu Ju:
"The spiritual fields, land, mountains and forests, mineral veins, and population that your two families have occupied must also be handed over. As for each family's private soldiers and ordnance, all their private soldiers and ordnance will be confiscated, and the family wealth will still belong to you.
Each store will keep 100 stores, and the rest will be confiscated. Do you have any objections? "
Sun Chao and Wu Ju nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. We will definitely cooperate with Lord Ji Hongyun and Lord Fang Kuan to clean up all the fields, spiritual fields, mineral veins, mountains and forests, and the population, so as to contribute to Lord Marquis's hegemony."
"presumptuous!"
Zhu Tianming shouted:
"I also serve the Song Dynasty and the imperial court. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will be killed directly!"
Sun Chao and Wu Ju seemed to realize that they had said something wrong. Can they say what they just said?
No matter what, we have to wait until the Marquis has millions of troops before we say anything.
The two people said quickly:
"You deserve to die for your humble position, you deserve to die for your humble position. For the Song Dynasty and for the imperial court, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The two of them were also fortunate to have at least kept their family property and various store items. As for the other things, they did not belong to them in the first place.
Although many people couldn't pick it up or put it down, Zhu Tianming had the knife in his hand and had to put it down no matter what.
Moreover, I can still keep a hundred shops in my family. These are heirloom shops and they also bring money.
"Well, that's it. Ji Hongyun and Fang Kuan will familiarize themselves with the affairs of Yongbei City as soon as possible, and then write a recruitment order to seek talented officials from the entire Song Dynasty."
Fang Kuan said:
"Master Marquis, is this recruitment order too flashy? Do you not care about the court's opinion?"
Zhu Tianming slapped his head suddenly, as if he really had to worry about the court's opinion.
“Let’s do this, first prepare an exam among all the officials and write down the results;
Then an announcement will be made throughout the jurisdiction of Yongbei Dacheng to prepare for an examination to recruit officials. Those with outstanding results will be retained and the rest will be dismissed. As for various expenses, the Hou Mansion will pay for them. "
Fang Kuan immediately understood what Zhu Tianming meant, which was to eliminate the officials who were in the dead position and recruit talented people from the Yongbei city.
Using this group of people to supplement the officials who were still on the job can also greatly weaken the influence of the Sun family and the Wu family in the great city of Yongbei.
Although the two companies have all handed over power, many personnel were promoted by them single-handedly.
Zhu Tianming's closest officials only occupied important positions, and the rest of the positions were officials previously appointed by the two families.
