Chapter 217 [New Regulations]
However, although the people in the city were in an uproar, they still used a very fast speed to spread the news, but it had reached Gwangju as far as half a day...... Who called the four-lane road that was repaired not long ago is flat and wide, and the carriage running on it naturally speeds up a lot.
In the afternoon, there was already a sea of people in front of the school field of the Huangzhou garrison army, but the locals in the city surrounded by the outermost circle were crowded in front of the recruitment desk, but they were temporarily living outside the city.
The recruitment platform was originally the point of the school field, but the radius of ten zhang was not big, I saw that Yao Rong and Hu Yu, the big and small priests of Huangzhou City, were sitting in the east and west, and there were six scribes below each with a small case, waiting for someone to sign up.
Yao Rong is responsible for recruiting archers, and the requirements are not very cumbersome, first let the people who come measure their height, weigh their weight, and ask the military to check if there is any disease in their body, and then see if they can lift a stone lock of fifty catties, and if they can lift it, they can be registered.
Now there are the most people around Yao Rong who want to sign up, and I am afraid that there will be no more than one or two hundred people, and the recruitment time is a full ten, but I am afraid that the people who have just received the news outside the city are still considering whether to come.
And Hu Yu's side is a lot more leisurely, in front of the table of the six small officials, there is no one to say, most of the onlookers are homeless people outside the city, and many people even pull their own daughters to ask, what is this transfer officer? Did you recruit a woman to be a prostitute?
The clerks were also patient, so that everyone could explain that this transfer errand was recruited for the Huangzhou waterway transfer yamen, and the transfer yamen was mainly responsible for the transfer of Dongpo canned meat, which is now a big name in Huangzhou.
This Great Song Dynasty is now considered to be a new atmosphere, this female soldier, female catcher, female prison is now common, everyone heard that the recruitment of women, said to be soldiers, in fact, it is work, everyone is also at ease, but the officials frankly said that the officials have a life, can only recruit local people, and the homeless people are stunned.
In this way, on the first day, Yao Rong's side recruited nearly 100 archers, but Hu Yu's side did not open.
On the second and third days, there were some improvements, Yao Rong recruited nearly 400 people in one breath, but Hu Yu recruited more than 50 local women, which can be regarded as a gain. On the fourth day, Yao Rong's side was about to be full, so he had to raise the requirements a lot, but Hu Yu's side didn't dare to let go, and he stopped recruiting 100 local women, so he couldn't recruit 500 female servants to do the work, right?
On the fifth and sixth days, Yao Rong's 500 archers were not only full, but also overstaffed by 100 people, but Hu Yu didn't recruit a single man, so he relented in desperation, and promised that the homeless people could also apply. As for literacy, it is naturally drawn, and everyone does not count Hu Yu to get more running and jumping, and the new rules for recruiting are measured.
Therefore, Hu Yu's recruitment steps, that is, first measured the height and weighed, invited Lang Zhong to check the physique, and then asked people to look at a picture scroll from a foot away, the scroll is full of fish, insects, birds and birds, from large to small There are many rows, you have to say that you have to say that you can pass the test under the five rows, not only to be accurate but also to say the color of the birds and birds on the roll.
Recognize the birds and sparrows is not over, you still need to run around the school field three times, and then squat and jump fifty steps away with your head in your hands, but also climb trees and swings, after these are over, you have to go to a room next to the school field to do the final inspection, it is said that the house is tested is the taste, hearing and smell of the mouth, nose and ears, and take off your clothes to check the posture and ****.
Under such a strict selection, about 200 people were selected on this day, all of them were teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old, but unfortunately only five of them could write their names.
In the next few days, some more were collected intermittently, and it was not until the ninth day that the four hundred people were full, and the one hundred women who had been collected in the morning were considered to have made up enough for five hundred.
Then the recruitment documents were signed, and the recruitment period was ten years, and each person was paid quarterly every year, and if there was disability, death or illness, they were also resettled. If the family members of the dead can receive three years of salary as a pension, this condition is naturally not to be said, it is much stronger than being an official and soldier, and whether it can be cashed out can only be said at that time.
Therefore, the transfer yamen came forward, and one person first paid three months' salary and food as settling-in expenses, and gave three days to say goodbye to his family and deal with affairs, and officially entered the camp on the ninth day of the seventh month.
On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, the liaison person sent by Wanjia also hurried back to Huangzhou with the stewards of nearly 100 wealthy giants on the east, west and south roads, two days earlier than the scheduled date.
Among them, nearly sixty percent of them are housekeepers and stewards, and the other forty percent are direct nephews of each family, and as for the head of the family, none of them came in person. However, the Zou family, a grain merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, the Wang family, a wealthy grocer in Hangzhou, the Zhao family, a merchant in Bashu Silk Jinhuang, and the Zheng family, a maritime merchant from Yangzhou Mansion on Huainan East Road, all sent their housekeepers and daughters to come in person.
The housekeeper of the Zou family in Jiangnan is Zou Rong, the eldest daughter of the old lady Zou, a widow in her forties. The Wang family of Hangzhou and the Zhao family of Bashu are all daughters-in-law of the long house, and they are all powerful characters in the shopping mall, only the Zheng family of Yangzhou Mansion sent Zheng Yue, the young lady who is now 29 but has not yet come out of the cabinet, I heard that her three elder brothers are all too big to read the dead book, and they only read the sage books, and they want to take the examination to become an official, so they handed over the huge family business to the youngest sister to take care of.
A total of one hundred and two came to the three places this time, so Huang Jie had already chartered eight inns in Huangzhou City and more than a dozen inns, main stores and hotels that could accommodate people, and there was nothing wrong with the reception. Because he planned properly, everyone came together, so naturally there was no need to wait for anyone who arrived, so on the morning of the ninth day of the seventh month, he chartered more than 20 green oil trucks to load the stewards of each family, and then led the mighty convoy straight to Wanhuang Lianzhuang.
Wanhuang Lianzhuang is only forty miles away from Huangzhou, and the carriage can be reached in an hour.
As soon as more than 100 people got off the bus, they were attracted by the scenery in front of them, only to see that on the huge plain, there were many fish ponds arranged in an orderly manner, and there were well-built houses and fences next to the fish ponds, which were divided by the road with a horizontal and vertical ratio. If you take a closer look, you can see that the fish pond, house, and fence are all a field pattern, but they can't understand the reason.
Huang Jie led everyone to a field area with a smile, and then introduced: "Everyone, this is the good deal I want to negotiate with you first...... Integrated aquaculture technology on land and water! ”
