For the people of Hebei and surrounding states and counties, it is obvious that life is getting better and better.

After spending a huge amount of silver and gold, and relying on various micro-manipulation methods to maintain the attack of the inflation demon, the Council of Elders survived the initial painful period, and began to extend the claws of power to the lowest level by controlling the food channels and carrying out a large number of construction work.

It can be said that the deal is still good, and going to the city to be a worker or an immigrant is no longer a matter of talking about the color change, but really muttering about the benefits.

Compared with the central government in later generations, the elders can be called a failure in terms of organizational strength, and it is basically difficult for any elder to really be willing to go to the countryside to conduct the most basic research and mobilize the masses, and the elders themselves are not exemplary in their own style, and cannot establish a strong and effective organization.

But on the other hand, in terms of material civilization, the elders have an advantage that is difficult to match, at least compared to the inhabitants of the new plane who were originally slow to do things little by little, they have a great advantage.

Maybe other people can come up with a very radical agricultural policy and foreign policy, but for many small peasant traversers, it is difficult not to care about gold and land, most of them have a greedy side, and pursue the most primitive material desires.

But as engineers who have traveled between the stars, no matter what, what vast planet has not been seen? What huge mineral deposits have not been seen?

So there's really no interest in anything yellow or white, or buying land.

At most, it's a little YY, build a villa on a cliff, a high mountain, or an island, and then put dozens of girls in it.

Compared with the power held by everyone, the common people in this era seem to be incorruptible.

This is also a plus, after all, there is basically no guard in and out, most of them drive by themselves, it can be said that they will not disturb the people to the end, and occasionally appear in front of the world, but also a light car and simple image, close to the people and not overbearing.

Under this virtuous circle, as long as the person who tastes the sweetness from the elders, even if the dark thoughts that can only be obtained by themselves out of benefit, they cannot be hidden in front of the masses with bright eyes.

Under this trend, the annual conscription quota in each county has changed from a terrible existence like a military household to a shortage of people now, and it is only one or two years.

Hu Sanqi was in the county seat, watching these people queuing.

The officials of the county town are trying to maintain order, but they are obviously not doing very well due to their lack of training and authority, and of course, those who are younger do not dare to be too presumptuous, that is, to compete for the position in front of their competitors, in their cognition, it is good to be in front.

Hu Sanqi understood that his task was to recruit troops here and mobilize urgently.

Although I don't know why the emergency mobilization, but it is very urgent, it is required to complete the recruitment and assembly work within a week, and after completing the training within three months, go directly to the ship and go south, and the number of conscripts this time has reached 50,000!

That's not all, everyone was promised, as long as they fought bravely at the end of their service, according to the military ranks and medals awarded, they were directly issued to the land of Nanyang!

Those who have completed the three-year service period and have not violated military law and other acts can get a thousand acres of land in Nanyang!

Those who fought valiantly, made meritorious deeds, and were awarded the rank of non-commissioned officer major, began to increase in rank of 200 acres of land for each class, and the land that could be obtained with weekly medals varied......

At present, the focus of propaganda is still 100 yuan a month, three meals a day, and officers do not beat or curse......

Although Hu Sanqi muttered, why was he suddenly in such a hurry, and sent people south, when he was in the recruit company, a considerable part of his comrades-in-arms had already gone to Quang Nam Province to fight.

But after careful calculation, Hu Sanqi was also surprised, he was already a lieutenant officer, even if he didn't work hard in vain, basically people of the same age had to salute honestly when they saw him, and he could be regarded as reaching the peak of his peers.

This time, he had to personally complete the recruitment of soldiers in a county, bring the soldiers back to the small station, participate in military training, and then take the soldiers of a company assigned to him to the south.

It can be said that time is urgent, and Hu Sanqi does not plan to waste time, because the document of the army this time is very special: as long as it is a qualified soldier, it will be recruited directly.

In this way, it is simple, it is nothing more than taking off clothes to see if there is a disability or lack of strength around the body.

Of course, there are still regulations on age, the minimum is 18 years old, and the maximum is 30 years old.

But Hu Sanqi also found a lot of blackened figures, who are not small at first glance, and they are in their thirties no matter how you look at them.

Hired a few doctors to insist on whether these recruits have insect rashes, hearing and whether they can make movements, which is also passed, this conscription, the county actually came nearly 2,000 people, considering that there are more than 100,000 people in a county, so many young and middle-aged people have actually come, it can be said that it is very terrible.

Of course, soon Hu Sanqi also understood what was going on.

A few old men were waiting there, but they were outside the recruiting point, but a small guy ran over and said, "This general, the master is invited." ”

Hu Sanqi looked at it, those people were wearing satin robes and scarves special for scholars, they should be local figures.

In this operation, Hu Sanqi received an order to have less contact with the local authorities, recruit troops and leave quickly, and not to find out about such a large-scale conscription in the locality.

He waved his hand and said, "Where the accusation is, I won't visit a few." ”

Anyway, he doesn't ask for these people in all aspects, and the settling-in fees and materials needed for conscription have already been transported to the county seat, unlike in the past, when he needed to ask the gentry to collect grain and make strong men in the local area, it is quite convenient here.

The little guy blushed all of a sudden, and said, "Our master is Huang Shilang Huang." ”

"I only have soldiers here, no masters."

The little guy roared: "Aren't you afraid of killing your head, Master Huang is the one who lifted the year of the Apocalypse, he sent it one by one, your Lord Qianhu still doesn't kill your head, go over, my master has prepared wine and food, and there are beauties......"

Hu Sanqi shook his head, "Do you want to be a soldier, if you don't want to be a soldier, you will leave." ”

The little guy shook violently and hurried back, not knowing what he said.

That Master Huang was still very formal with a shelf, hoping that after Hu Sanqi passed, he would first put on a shelf, and then use the words that had been prepared to scare such a hairy boy, and then, naturally, he would catch the strong man in his hands this time.

Catching strong men is a big deal, different from the strong soldiers attracted by the elders with high treatment and voluntariness, in the later period, the situation of catching strong men in the Ming Dynasty is also intensifying, which is naturally an opportunity for gentry from all over the country to make a fortune.

Someone took the opportunity to invent the business of taking care of the affairs of Lazhuangding, of course, there are many ways to make money here, and the average moderately rich family does not want to go, okay, give money, and do not give you the exploitation of the clean and clean, and the poor have to consider selling land to avoid this disaster, do not want to sell, okay, the male Ding directly pulled away, orphans and widows are naturally cheaper Master Huang Shilang.

Now the imperial capital is actually recruiting troops in Goose City, without notifying Master Huang, this is a fortune, and over the years, Master Huang has not been able to find a chance to make a fortune, not to mention, his wallet is not very rich, this new court does not look down on him as a former court, but he doesn't give him such a gentleman at all, it's really a bit undeserved.

Moreover, the economic offensive over the years has also made Master Huang very uncomfortable, since there are people from the imperial capital, it is natural to put on a prestige first, deter this lowly Qiu Ba, and if he is not satisfied, he will directly engage in family law, anyway, his Huang family is deeply rooted in Goose City, and the county commander does not dare to disobey himself.

Hu Sanqi didn't care about him, and suddenly patted a hard object on his waist, as a future company commander, his advantage is that he is equipped with more pistols, although the range and power cannot compete with the rifle, but it is a symbol of status!

Therefore, after he got it, he straddled it directly around his waist, for fear that people would not be able to see it.

When the recruitment is over, he can almost become a company commander.

He didn't know that Huang Shilang, who was in the distance, heard that even such a centurion-level figure dared not to kneel down and beg to see him, but he gave a lot of face and came here!

Of course, the situation is stronger than people, but he shouted in his stomach: "Wait until Master Ben opens up the line of the imperial capital and completely kills all of you soldiers!" Look how arrogant you are. ”

However, he barely pretended to be polite, he held back this tone, but he was still majestic: "Lead the way in front of the head." ”

Hu Sanqi frowned and said, "Please don't hinder us from performing our official duties, retreat!" ”

He only brought a squad of brothers this time, and they were all veterans of the war, and after this operation, they would be scattered to all the new units to be squad leaders, different from ordinary soldiers.

That Huang Shilang looked at it resentfully, and then arched his hand and said, "This little brother, please." ”

"Ah, if you don't join the army, please retreat."

"Dare to ask the imperial court to mobilize the people, and recruit troops and horses in this county, what is it to do."

Hu Sanqi said: "Protect the territory and the people." ”

Huang Shilang's face was full of sorrow, and said: "Nonsense, soldiers, murder weapons, saints have to use them, if there is any foreign enemy, it should be influenced by benevolence and righteousness, so as to show the benevolence and righteousness of my great country in China, they are all martial artists such as you, but it is to let the men here leave the state of their parents and fill the ravines, I see it, isn't it sad." ”

Hu Sanqi actually didn't understand this, but the general meaning was not to recruit soldiers? Why?

Huang Shilang looked a little righteous, and said: "Okay, I have an article here, please pass it on to the adults in the court, and ask them to stop the war, follow Confucianism, respect Confucianism, and respect Confucius, I don't know if you dare or not." ”

He knew that a young man of this age only needed to stir up a few words, saying that he didn't dare to do anything, and he would basically do it with one mind.

Hu Sanqi didn't care at all, his mind at this time was Qin Guoxing's efforts to learn how to walk on one leg on a stretcher in the hospital, Qin Guoxing chattered, hoping that the villagers in Guangxi would also be ruled by the elders, even if he broke his leg, he would be happy.

felt guilty about Qin Guoxing, but Hu Sanqi began to think of a way.

This is also the motivation in front of him, at least it makes Qin Guoxing feel worthwhile.

As for revenge on the elders, he planned to wait until he ascended......

As for the article, he didn't dare to touch it, it was both a high-voltage line and a ......

"Let a few of them go away......"

Hu Sanqi immediately made a decision, pushing and shoving for a while, those who inspected the troops did not dare to move, who did not know Huang Shilang, who was trying to kill whom, who would dare to provoke the real villain? On the contrary, it is the elder's soldiers, who can reason at a glance and bully it.

Hu Wan, who was next to Master Huang, naturally didn't do it, and he had to do it when he came over.

That Huang Shilang was silent, and shouted to the descendants of the military inspection: "You people, don't honestly carry the work for the old man here, but you want to be a soldier, don't you know, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are the cheapest, after the past, even the daughter-in-law can't afford to marry, honest duty, only in the next life can you have hope, you can be reincarnated into a good family......"

"People want their duty, know how to advance and retreat, a tenant is a tenant, once they transgress, they don't know their duty, they sell their ancestors, they want to open the ancestral ancestral hall, and they will be punished with a thousand knives! A thousand days at home is good, it is difficult to go out everywhere, not to mention, do not respect Confucianism, do not learn the Great Song Dynasty to appease Fanbang, go to war more, and die hundreds of thousands of people, don't you know, all the countries of Fanbang are gods descending from heaven, where is the Chinese can compare, people are called wolves, we are called sheep, sheep will honestly wait for wolves to kill, dare to resist, people can not be annoyed, to be benevolent, to be gentle, when you meet foreign robbery, people hit your left cheek, you give the right cheek to let them beat. ”

"You must not raise sword soldiers in vain, but must value peace, be gentle with the outside world, and appease the alien race with gold leaf women, so that they know that my Chinese wealth is invincible, and rashly apply sword soldiers, how can I show my Confucian demeanor!"

"To move troops is not to respect Confucianism, my Confucianism pays attention to measuring China's national strength, and the joy of the country, but you are doing this disrespectful thing here, and you are too bold!"

"When a foreigner comes in, you have to reflect first, to see if you have done something wrong, whether you have made the family dissatisfied, you must first gain the favor of others, donate your daughter, my lord, after playing with it, pay tribute to foreign adults, reflect! We must change our attitude, so that foreign adults will respect us, and respecting Confucianism is the way to make foreign adults respect us, so we must respect Confucianism! ”

Huang Shilang chattered upside down, but he couldn't impress Hu Sanqi, the bayonet was the head, Hu Wan made a look, and shouted: "My master is a former Ming Ju person, at least he is also a seven-rank official, and it is easy to kill you!" ”

Then he wanted to grab the gun, but was stabbed directly in the stomach by the soldier.
