In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 156 Three thousand and five hundred soldiers and horses
In addition, there are now more than 2000 cattle on Jeju Island, most of which were transported from the Southern Song Dynasty, Korea and Japan, and gradually raised by themselves. There are [-] cattle farmers on the island, and Zhao and Rui’s goal is the least To raise [-] head of cattle.

It takes more than [-] sheep to raise, and it is okay to have fewer pigs and chickens.

The islanders eat seafood and mutton, but less pigs and chickens. Cattle are used for farming, and sheepskin, pigskin, and cowhide are used to make armor.

In the end, Chen Tao and Li Pingxia didn't talk about the distribution of troops, and only Zhao and Rui had these qualifications.

There are now 1000 sailors on the island, who are recruited from more than 1 strong men. The monthly salary is three guan, and they also provide food, which is considered a high salary.

There are 1 infantrymen on the island, who are also recruited from more than [-] strong men, and the monthly payment is the same.

From next year, each person will be able to match a horse, and they will have to practice walking and riding.

It's just that the navy is short of ships now, and it won't be able to replenish warships until next year. For the time being, they are using a small number of merchant ships and converted warships for training.

After Zhao Yurui heard all the situation, he looked at the documents in his hand again, and he was quite happy in his heart.

In less than half a year, Jeju Island has been built into his rear, a big factory.

Of course, everything is just starting now, and the island is quite hectic. Fortunately, Zhao Yurui has sufficient manpower and good management, and there are no major troubles. After the first few groups of people are settled, they will gain experience and coordinate with each other. , advancing steadily, naturally there will be no fuss.

Finally Zhao Yurui said: "There are more and more people on the island, I know it's a bit chaotic recently."

"But as long as everyone does their own thing well, and communicates with colleagues frequently, it will definitely be resolved."

"The most important things right now are."

Everyone listened attentively.

"First, the distribution of materials must be timely and fair. If anyone dares to fill his own pocket, embezzle the distribution materials, and deduct the income of each household—kill him."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Because Zhao Yurui managed Jeju Island as a factory, not as a prefecture and county, so many people did not farm.

Except for Tuntian, most of the others were distributed by Zhao Yurui.

How much rations, how much fish, and meat each household has per month must be supplied in place in a timely manner. It’s okay if you delay it for a day or two, but try to delay it for a long time?The common people can quit immediately.

Of course, because Zhao Yurui paid back the wages, the supply was only grain and a small amount of meat.

Once a month, each household will line up to receive one or two stones of grain at the supply points set up in various places, which is calculated according to the population of each household.

In addition, there are shops in various residences, buying and selling various vegetables, fish, fruits, daily necessities including salt and sugar, and meat.

The price is lower than that in the Southern Song Dynasty, and each household can receive meat once every three days with a ticket.

If you feel that three days is not enough to eat, you can buy it with your own wages, so that Zhao Yurui can recover a lot of wages paid.

Both Zhao and Rui set up granaries and other warehouses in densely populated places, so as to ensure the fastest and most timely distribution of supplies.

Jeju Island is similar to the Southern Song Dynasty, with improvements. Every ten households has a chief guarantor, one hundred households has one chief guarantor (one deputy chief guarantor), five hundred households has a capital guarantor (one deputy chief guarantor), and one thousand Every household has a village head (deputy village head), [-] households have a village head and a deputy village head, and more than [-] households have a city lord and a deputy city lord.

Among them, above the head of the village, both Zhao and Rui were working together.

Those who are present today, besides their basic positions, such as Li Pingxia and others also have military positions, and they all also serve as village chiefs, village chiefs, or city lords.

These people are responsible for the management of the entire Jeju Island, and the chief and the chief are mainly responsible for the distribution of supplies.

The stability and fairness of material distribution guarantees the stability and development of Jeju Island, which is the focus of Zhao Yurui's many statements.

"Second, set up an inspection team."

"Every month, one person will be selected in turn in the big insurance (hundred households), and 50 people will be selected every month. Each person will be paid five wages. They will be ordered to investigate the distribution of materials in other big insurances, and randomly ask each insurance household."

"Among the 50 people, there must be at least five who can write. If not, they will be dispatched by the palace. When there are more children who can read in the future, the children can be drawn."

"This matter is in charge of Chen Xiaodao."

"It's King Wei."

The inspection team has three functions in the later stage, one is to come to the door to check and verify the distribution of materials, the other is to understand the people's reactions and preferences for the Four Seas Trade (now everyone only knows that the Four Seas Trade was established here) and the third is to promote the various aspects of the Four Seas Trade policies and good deeds.

"Thirdly, set up the Bank Department, Material Department, Logistics Department, Construction Department, Trading Department, Animal Husbandry and Plantation Department, Salt and Sugar Department, Fishery and Transportation Department, and Ship Department." Seeing the island getting more and more busy, Zhao Yurui decided Optimize and adjust the personnel so that everyone can work closely with each other while performing their duties.

In addition, as for the craftsmanship, firearms department, training department (army), and the armor department, they did not say at the meeting. Afterwards, Zhao and Ruihui had a private chat with relevant personnel.

Qin Zhuo and Wei Jinsi are the principal and deputy directors of the Bank and Coin Office. All copper coins will be allocated and purchased in the future, and will be submitted to the Bank and Coin Office for processing. Among them, Wei Jinsi is mainly in Jinyong Island and Dinghai County, and Qin Zhuo is mainly in charge of Jeju Island.

Zhou Lai, Chen Xiaodao, and Qin Yue are the principal and deputy directors of the material department. Zhou Lai is mainly in Jintang Island, responsible for stockpiling sugar and supplies. Of course, most of them will be sent to Jeju Island in the future.

Chen Xiaodao and Qin Yue are in charge of all materials in Jeju Island. Materials from Japan, Korea and other places, including local production in Jeju, are all in charge of storing, counting, making books, recording in and out of warehouses, etc. .

Security is a top priority.

Liu Xin, Tang Erxiao, and Qin Gang are in charge of the trading office, mainly responsible for the transactions between Korea and Japan.

Yan Ying is in charge of the construction department and logistics department alone, with Chen Feng, Quanba, Quanshi, and Qin Youhu as assistants. They are mainly responsible for farming grain, water conservancy facilities, warehouse construction, various housing construction, and shipyard construction. Defense, etc., as well as the import and storage of the meat and vegetables currently needed on the island, because the island is not yet self-sufficient, and the breeding industry has just started, and it is necessary to cooperate with the material department to do a good job of monthly material distribution (mainly food and meat), and the distribution and resettlement of immigrants, the most things.

Yan Ying is mainly responsible for resettlement and distribution of immigrants, Chen Feng is responsible for farmland and import storage and redistribution of meat and vegetables, all eight are infrastructure, all ten are the construction of other houses, and Qin Youhu is responsible for defensive construction and patrols in important areas.

Quan [-]. Qin Meng is in charge of the animal husbandry and planting department.

Shi Gou'er and Quan Er are in charge of the salt and sugar department.

Xu Yan and Quan Twelve originally followed Chen Tao to train the navy, and now they are responsible for transporting the fishing place.

Wei Jinyu and Tan Sihe are in charge of the Ship Department, which will expand the shipyard and dock in the future.

Among them, Tan Sihai was a master craftsman from the shipyard of Qingyuan Mansion. He was quite skilled in shipbuilding, and was recruited by Zhao Yurui's family.

Zhao and Rui are now taking two steps. First of all, they mainly rely on the resources of the Southern Song Dynasty. If they really can’t get the throne and are persecuted, they can only retreat to Jeju Island, so they are also preparing for shipbuilding. factory.

In addition, Qin Chen is responsible for the craftsmen who make armor, weapons, and firearms. The location is also east of Jeju Island, surrounded by mountains, and the pastures and people are selected.

After Zhao and Rui were reassigned, the responsibilities of each department were clear, and each department will be in charge of it in the future.

But Zhao Yurui silently looked at the people around the scene. Except for the youngsters he trained, all the departments were basically from the Qin family.

Liu Xin and Yan Ying were also introduced by business friends of the Qin family.

There's no way, he really doesn't have any people of his own, and it's so grandiose that ordinary people really don't dare to participate.

After the meeting adjourned, he called in batches individually, and people from each department would come in and have a private conversation with him, and he explained something.

In the end, Li Pingxia, members of the Li family, Qian Wu, Quan Da Mo Xiaoqi and other young people from his house, these people are training on foot and horse.

"Every two months there is a martial arts competition in the army, on riding and shooting, foot fighting, and rewarding money and goods for the best." Zhao Yurui said to Li Pingxia earnestly: "Training is actually very simple. If you spend money and have strict discipline, you will definitely be able to succeed. Elite."

"The general understands, don't worry, Your Majesty." Li Pingxia is quite happy now that he has two thousand soldiers in his hand, but he still doesn't know that these soldiers have far exceeded the number of soldiers given to Zhao and Rui by the court.

But from Zhao Yurui's point of view, based on his care for Li Pingxia, even if Li Pingxia knew about it now, he might still support Zhao Yurui and keep silent.

After all, anything could happen before Zhao Mian became emperor.

Even if Li Pingxia doesn't understand this truth, Li Pingbao and Li Pingshan must understand, because the two of them are working hard in Jeju Island now and are very excited.

Zhao Yurui also said the same thing when they met with the sailors Chen Tao, Li Pingshan, and Quan Shisan.

He is not short of money now, he has plenty of money.

Sending money may not be useful, but not sending money is certainly useless.

At present, there are not enough weapons and equipment for the water infantry in Jeju Island, but when the firearms and armor are all built by the craftsmen, the iron and copper materials they have long hoarded will be able to create a steady stream of utensils.

At this time, Zhao and Rui already had a thousand sailors in private, two thousand infantry battalions, and nearly a thousand people who had been running merchants and transporting nearly a thousand people all year round.

He is satisfied with this for the time being, and does not plan to expand in the first half of this year, and will make a decision in the second half of the year depending on the situation.

The main reason is that he does not have many middle and low-level military officers, especially experienced military officers who have fought in wars.

His military tasks this year are mainly focused on building his own logistics supply line, being able to build his own firearms and armor, and training [-] elites at the Xinzhou Mine, who can serve as an army at any time in the future.

With the existing system in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is useless for him to train too many soldiers and horses privately at the moment, unless he intends to rebel. At present, there is no need for this at all.

And at critical times, usually hundreds or thousands of elites can decide the direction of a major event, so he only needs to train hundreds of elites around him first, and then quietly train 3000 or 500 troops on Jeju Island , almost enough, if not enough, the Xinzhou mine still has it.

The imperial court stipulated that he could carry 150 people with him. After arriving in Dinghai County, he expanded many times. He already had [-] elites in Dinghai, of which [-] were in the county seat and [-] were in Jintang Island. The combination of a man and a horse is simply an all-round training for land and water riding.

Time soon entered the 17th year of Jiading (1224). In the original history, it was this year that Emperor Zhao Kuo passed away.
