After the war, it's time to count the captures.

The amount of money seized from Dajianghui this time can be described as astronomical.

Dajianghui's camp was very particular about how to install it. They imitated the official warehouses of the Sui Dynasty and dug a large rice warehouse far away from the camp. All the grain stored in Dajianghui was stored in it.

The treasure house of Oehui's property is also of almost the same specifications.

Even though Dajianghui's camp was hit by fire, it only burned some wood and valuables. Not many good things were burned, so the loss was not huge.

In addition, after Chu Tianxiu killed "Dragon Lord" Pei Yue, he searched their cabins and found that their robbery this time was really something extraordinary. What they robbed turned out to be the imperial tax ship, and they alone

The silver stolen this time was as much as 800,000 taels.

There were so many trophies that it took the temporary butler Xing Rong a full seven days to make an inventory of what was seized from the Dajiang Association. After sorting through the account books one by one, he couldn't help but get red-eyed by the rich seizures, and his spirits were high.

The state was a little crazy, and he said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Brother Chu, Commander Chu, we have really made a fortune this time. After I did the statistics, I found that two million taels of silver, thirty thousand taels of gold, and more than 70 pieces of various jewelry and antiques were seized from Dajianghui.

There are 386,500 dan of grain, 200,000 dan of salt, and more than 500 barrels of wine.

In addition, the harvest included more than 3,000 weapons of all kinds, 200 pieces of armor, 80 horses and mules, 120 fat sheep, and 30 oxen."

This is absolutely an astronomical figure, and the money and grain harvested is enough to compare with the entire inventory of a county.

However, as Chu Tianxiu's temporary butler, he naturally knew how much wealth Chu Tianxiu had, so he still had some doubts in his heart.

Hudouzhou is located at the estuary of the Yangtze River. There is a natural fishing ground nearby, making fishing very convenient.

If he had not come to Hudouzhou, Chu Tianxiu would never have discovered that there was such a good place on the island near the Yangtze River.

In addition, Hu Douzhou not only faces the river, but also faces the sea.

"This place is really nice! Let's demolish Dajianghui's village. After expanding it, we can use this as our home base."

This island in the river is almost comparable to the Chongming Island that has not yet surfaced, but will gradually become the Chongming Island with a radius of more than a thousand miles due to the sedimentation of the Yangtze River in the future, and will gradually become a famous land of fish and rice in China.

The congenital conditions are almost perfect.

Xing Rong also walked around Hu Douzhou a few times. Naturally, he knew the superior conditions here, and he was naturally happy in his heart.

"Hu Douzhou is indeed good, but after all, it is just some wasteland and needs enough manpower to develop it. But now we only have enough ships except for two thousand sergeants.

After he thought about it carefully in his head and figured out the future use of the money, he spoke.

What a reckless man! What a reckless man!

The two brothers "Dragon Lord" Pei Yue and "Tiger Lord" Pei Yan had the nicknames of dragon and tiger, but they didn't have any brains to know the value of Hudou Island, and they ruined a good place. How could this big river be ruined?

It won't be like this now.

In addition, part of the silver seized this time will be taken to reward the soldiers who performed well this time.

The emergence of this large sum of money not only bulged Chu Tianxiu's pockets, but also allowed him to finally have enough energy to reward his subordinates.

After Chu Tianxiu, Xingrong, Chu Yi, Duan Yucheng and others walked around the island for a whole day and carefully inspected the terrain, he made up his mind and said this.

Not only is there abundant water, the land is fertile, and the sunshine is sufficient, the geographical conditions are even more superior than those of Chongming Island in later generations.

Being close to the ocean means that you can boil the sea into salt and go out to sea for trade. The business prospects are also very bright.

In addition, relying on mountains to feed mountains, relying on water to feed water.

Especially in the past few years, Chu Tianxiu, in order to make himself look less conspicuous, just lived by collecting protection fees on his own territory like the "normal" low-level gang cadres in this world, which made him and his

The lives of the brothers under my command were indeed a bit more miserable.

Real money and silver are undoubtedly good things.

"The harvest this time is indeed good! After you sort out these seizures, sort them into categories and store them in the warehouse. I am afraid that the future of our navy will depend entirely on this deposit.

Taking food as an example, even if Chu Tianxiu expands the number of troops to 20,000, the food he obtains this time will be enough to feed the Zhenjun Navy for four years.

If the fishery is vigorously developed here and a sufficient number of fishermen are allowed to fish here, then there will be enough meat for the army.

If such a good place with extremely superior congenital conditions can be developed carefully, within three to five years, 200,000 residents can be settled on this island and 50,000 soldiers and horses can be raised.

Generally speaking, the commander Gao Zhandao will be rewarded with one thousand taels, Duan Yucheng and other commanders of the death squads will be rewarded with one hundred taels each, the death squads will be rewarded with fifty taels each, the camp commander will be rewarded with 20 taels each, ordinary soldiers will be rewarded with five taels, and the wounded will be rewarded double.

The reward for the deceased will be doubled again, and the money will be distributed to make all the brothers happy."

This Hudou Island has a radius of hundreds of miles. The land is flat and fertile, enough to cultivate tens of thousands of acres of fertile land for cultivating rice and beans as food.

We are all short of other people, whether they are farmers or fishermen, as well as rice seeds, cattle, fishing nets and other supplies."

If we let people work in the fields now to make up for a small crop of rice, then when the harvest comes in five months, the problem of military rations will naturally be solved.

"It doesn't matter. In troubled times, the most indispensable thing is refugees and manpower. As for other things, I can wait until I return to Jiangyin and slowly purchase them through the channels of the Zhuhua Gang. I can still find a way.

of."

Even though Chu Tianxiu's determination was so amazing that he didn't even pay attention to the legendary treasure house of Duke Yang, which was said to be extremely wealthy, but when these real gold and silver were actually placed in front of him, he couldn't help but be moved.

Not only that, after Chu Tianxiu stayed on the land of Hu Douzhou for a few days and took stock of the finances, he suddenly discovered that his biggest gain this time was neither the food nor the real money, but this building.

Wu Tou Chau itself.

It is the greatest wealth that Chu Tianxiu snatched from Dajiang Club.

Chu Tianxiu naturally knows how difficult it is to carve out a business from scratch.

However, some things, no matter how difficult they are, must be done. After all, only when Chu Tianxiu completely occupied and developed such a precious unclaimed land can he and his army of suppressing the navy really have a foundation.

This is like someone pulling out the broken willow branch from the vase and inserting it into the warm and moist fertile soil.

With a foundation and land, Zhenhai will no longer be a rootless duckweed, but will be able to take root, sprout, and thrive.
