Chapter 157: Recruits
The family staged a big drama of recognizing relatives, but Yun Xiao circled around a colorful pottery figurine.
Life-size, picturesque and lifelike. He is in a standing position, and his hands are still holding blades. Digging a well actually hit such a thing, the chief in Zhuangzi immediately reported to Hou Ye. So this thing was transported to Yunjia Zhuangzi.
Terracotta warriors, Yun Xiao almost cried. In my last life, I took people to watch it 800 times, but they all looked colorless. can be regarded as seeing the color, and the miracle of the century was dug out by himself more than 2,000 years in advance. The reason is the same fucking - digging a well.
Fortunately, the lieutenant did not burn the terracotta figurines like the peasants of later generations. Instead, it was dedicated to himself as auspicious. The Yun family was crowned with military merits, and terracotta figurines were dug out of the fief. Naturally, it is said that the Yunhou Army is terrifying and has the help of the martial god.
Yun Xiao immediately ordered that Lintong should no longer drill wells at will. If you dare to sell this thing in the future, it will be a crime to lose your head, so leave this thing to future generations. If one of the two hundred and five gouges out Qin Shi Huang and his old man, then it will be a big trouble.
Suppress the idea of digging out the terracotta warriors and horses and building a theme park. Yun Xiao began to inspect the soldiers they had recruited again.
Shandong Dahan is really true, although there are few handsome guys like Huang Xiaoming. But the figure of the Jimo people is generally quite tall, and Canghu has inherited the standard of Zhang Shisan's soldiers. The five thousand sturdy men are all dark-skinned, simple-headed, and muscular men with two hundred and five characteristics.
Now these heartless guys are having fun on the playground, and the two-hundred-pound stone lock is as light as a lump of dirt in their hands. You planed it to me. I'll plane it for you. Occasionally, one or two couldn't catch it, and the stone lock fell to the ground with a "bang" and splashed a large puff of smoke and dust. Some of the instructors were stunned.
"These people are very strong, Master Hou, you don't know. The subordinates said that there were two silver dollars in a year, and the people who came to apply for the recruitment almost failed to level the Jimo Hou Mansion. Many of the sturdy people came to line up in the middle of the night, what is this 200-pound stone lock. When I was in the first assessment, I used 300 catties. ”
Canghu looked at the soldiers he had recruited, and said with some smugness.
"Oh, you've explained the rules to them. Serving as a soldier and eating food is a life-threatening business, and if the family does not have this strong labor, they will not be able to survive. We can't ask for it, we can't harm the lives of our whole family because of our family's recruitment. ”
"Master Hou, don't worry. None of these people are the only seedlings. They are all brothers. According to your rules, only one of the two brothers can join the army.
You don't know that places like Yimeng and Linyi are really poor. There is not much grain grown in the mountains, and there is not much grain left after farming and hunting and paying taxes all year round. Not to mention the money, in those five hundred eldest sons, you can marry a yellow flower girl. Our family recruits two dollars a year. It's nothing in our Zhuangzi. But there's it with them. You can buy a large animal.
However, each of our family has to pay the court a consistent amount of money every year. Bear the taxes and forced labor of these people. The subordinates want to spend 5,000 yuan a year, which is not a big deal. I promised several princes in Shandong. ”
In fact, Yunxiao and Canghu both know that each person's consistent money is actually a bit tricky. However, it is said that the Qin army endured hard fighting since ancient times. The right to recruit troops in Guanzhong is very strict. Without the approval of the Taiwei Mansion, whoever recruits troops in Guanzhong will be unlucky. Yun Xiao, who had no choice but to go to distant Shandong and Jiangnan to recruit troops.
"Forget it, it's a matter of five thousand dollars. I won't argue with them, and our family doesn't lack that. It's just that you should ask the person who sent the money to make it clear to a few princes that these people's families should be taken care of properly. Don't let their families be bullied in the countryside. "There is one less strong laborer in the family, and it is easy to be bullied by some unkind neighbors. If there is no official support, the end of the family will be very aggrieved. Yun Xiao didn't want his subordinates to suffer such grievances.
"This is natural, and the subordinates have already negotiated with the princes. The princes promised that this would not happen. Canghu naturally knew Yun Xiao's short-term character, when he was negotiating with several princes. I've already told the story of this.
Speaking of which, the princes of Shandong can be regarded as having given Yunxiao enough face, a person with the identity of a family general like Canghu. Unexpectedly, every time he went to a country, he could be received by the princes of Shandong, and Liu Duan, the king of Jiaoxi, even set up a special banquet to entertain Canghu. However, during the banquet, I often inquired about Wei Ya's affairs, intentionally or unintentionally.
Thanks to the bespectacled history teacher in later generations, Yun Xiao believes that these princes are all people who eat all day long, regardless of the people's suffering. It is only when you really understand the Han that you know that what you save is reasonable, and this sentence is too right.
The feudal system of the Han Dynasty directly stimulated the economic recovery after the war, and all the princes wanted to live a good life. The premise of living a good life is to make one's fiefdom rich, and only rich places can collect more taxes.
The will and determination of the princes to get rich are unstoppable, so the large-scale production movement is engaged in it tirelessly. As the effects of the mass production campaign became apparent, the stomach began to be full. But the princes found that they still hadn't gotten rich, for a very simple reason. There is no money in the field, only grain.
So the princes began to vigorously promote business, and the reason is very simple. Merchants are rich, and plucking their wool is far more profitable than plucking those who are digging in the fields.
But there are so many rich and large households, so the rich and large households have become the focus of investment promotion. The Yun family, a wealthy family that can open a bank, is naturally the object of the princes. Jimo Hou is steep and rich, and there are five people and six people in Shandong all day long. Isn't it because the Yun family set up a project in Jimo and set up a thirteen incense factory.
I heard that the annual income can reach tens of thousands, and the princes of Shandong are all red-eyed when they hear it. Especially in the four countries of Jinan, Jibei, Jiaodong and Jiaoxi, their fiefdoms and mountains are numerous, and they can't produce much grain in a year. A dignified prince, the annual income is not as good as the small Jimo Hou. How can this make the dragons and phoenixes mentally balanced.
The warm hospitality to Canghu is actually a gesture of goodwill to the Yun family. They earnestly hope that the Yun family will come to invest and stimulate domestic demand. Boost exports and boost the gross national economy. In short, development is the last word.
"Shandong men are very stubborn, you soldiers should be careful. One of these soldiers is strict, and the other is caring. If you have the heart to treat these soldiers as your own children, you can take these soldiers well. Go back and tell these instructors what I have to say, and choose some of the best qualifications among the instructors. As officers at all levels, the training of the newcomers also made Xiao Xiong pay attention. ”
Yun Xiao and Canghu said as they walked, and as soon as they looked up, they came to the recruit camp from Jiangnan. The soldiers in Jiangnan seemed very quiet, although they were not as tall as the Shandong soldiers. But the shirtless upper body is also muscular, and the skin is slightly whiter than the soldiers in Shandong.
The instructors are all Jiangnan people, and some of them are related to these recruits. It was a break in training, and the soldiers were chattering around the instructors. It was all Wu Nong's soft words, which sounded a little out of tune with the masculine atmosphere of the military camp.
Yun Xiao vaguely heard the words of the second uncle and the uncle. It seems that the goshawk has recruited a lot of backdoor soldiers this time, and they are all old subordinates who have been born and died so many times. This is a request, goshawk will not refuse.
"Bring out all the people who are related to these recruits, and add some new people to come in. Starting tomorrow, the Shandong soldiers and the Jiangnan soldiers will be mixed. There are no factional fights in our army. Yun Xiao glanced at the guy who was enjoying the shade under the tree, factional strife was an important reason why the national army was defeated and avoided the island. He didn't want that to happen in his army.
"Master Hou, the fourth brother was also asked by his subordinates. The things that can't be done are all brothers who are born and die. If you don't take care of your own baby, you're afraid of hurting the hearts of your subordinates. There are many children of brothers who died in battle, which is really ...... But don't worry, you've checked it all. The body bones are not suitable for one, and I don't want one, this bowl of rice is a knife to lick the blood. I didn't lose my life in vain. ”
Canghu hurriedly interceded with his younger brother, and he also knew Goshawk's difficulties this time.
"It's good that you can think of this layer, but there is another layer that you didn't think of. If the conscripted soldiers are defeated on the battlefield and do not use their guidance, it is not only them who will die in the end, but also you and me. Bringing in unqualified soldiers not only endangers their lives, but also our lives. ”
Yun Xiao quietly walked to the shade of the tree, and an instructor on duty was about to form a team. Yun Xiao waved his hand and made a shush gesture. He wanted to know what these guys were saying in private.
"Nong follow Master Hou, don't think about anything else. Practice martial arts first, especially archery. Archery knows, this is what you can rely on to fight with the Huns. ”
"I heard that the Huns are very powerful, and the Han army is not their opponent."
"That's because I haven't met our Hou Ye, and our Yun family army has lost a battle with the Huns. Last time, the Hou Ye led us to surround the Huns' Dadan Yudu. If it weren't for the fact that Yulin was bad at the critical moment, maybe the head of the Hun Da Shan Yu would have been cut back by our Hou Ye. ”
The braggart instructor looked quite disdainful when he talked about Yu Lin, and it seemed that the guards of the Yun family were now very proud.
"The Yulin Army is His Majesty's pro-army, can't he catch up with our family?"
"Feather Forest! Just those kids, they can fight an egg. With that small physique, Dai Ye has been training for almost half a year. is still a thin look, and I am afraid that I will still lose the war with the Huns.
You see the people running back and forth on the mountain, they are the Yulin guards. is still His Majesty's favorite period gate Yulin, and he is not trained in our family yet.
Lord Eagle has been asked to recruit you, and he must practice this rare opportunity. Otherwise, on the battlefield, you can rely on real kung fu with real knives and guns, and don't ruin your own life. ”
"Hmm" the recruits' heads were like chickens pecking rice. (To be continued......)
