788, rushing to serve in conscription

Next, what neither Jingwen nor Ma Zhou expected was that when Ma Zhou had not yet announced that he would start recruiting some professional conscripts, many people had already come over to inquire about conscription. Many people wanted to come over to help the people of the county to serve full-time service, which surprised Ma Zhou very much. This is too strange, there are still people rushing to serve in the conscription. Originally, conscription was avoided, and Ma Zhou knew that many people wanted to avoid conscription. But now there are people rushing to serve in the conscription, which is surprising.

"You have to think clearly, this is a difficult service. However, we will also pay the salary, so you really have to think about whether it is worth it to serve as a conscript! Ma Zhou asked.

And immediately someone said: "Of course, we are all from poor backgrounds, and of course there is no problem in serving exclusively in forced labor." And doesn't the government also pay wages? So what bitterness do we not have to eat? As long as we are paid, we can do it! ”

"However, we plan to give these positions to those who don't have land, you people who have land, what kind of fun are you coming to join in!" Ma Zhou said.

"But Ma County Order, now in Datang, at this time, do you have people who have land?" Someone asked Ma Zhou rhetorically.

Ma Zhou was speechless, because it is true that the vast majority of people in this era have land. Now the world has just experienced war, and the population has plummeted. Therefore, in this situation where there are few people and more land, every household can own land, so people who do not have land are almost non-existent. Ma Zhou wanted those who had no land to come and serve in the conscription, which was obviously unlikely. However, if these land-owning people are recruited, what if their agricultural harvest is delayed?

"What about your fields? Is it just abandoned? Ma Zhou asked.

And immediately someone said, "We can rent our land to someone else for a while, and then someone else will cultivate it for us, and we will give them half of the grain." If we come here to serve the government, we can get no less than the income from farming, so don't we get half of the income out of thin air every year? ”

And Jingwen listened from the side. I can't help but sigh that the ancients were really calculating. This full-time service to the government can earn a person an income no less than that of farming, and the land can be rented to others for planting, and he can get 1.5 times the income of the past year. And those who rent the land can also get a little and a half times. It can be said that this is a win-win result. Who said that the ancient people couldn't calculate, this also shows that the ancient people were also very calculating. Although it requires more labor, it is an indisputable fact that it can increase income.

"Moreover, we are serving in the place of the people of the whole county, and everyone has to look up to us! We're doing things for the people of the county. Who doesn't respect us? One person also said.

The person just now talked about the profit income, and this person said the honor. Because many people avoid conscription, but now there are people serving in their place, which is simply a sacrifice, and it is a sacrifice for the people of the county. The people know how to be grateful, and of course they know that these people are making sacrifices for them, so they will be grateful to them. And if the families of those who are serving in forced labor outside are bullied, then I am afraid that the people of the whole county will not let go of the villain who bullied their families. I have to say that this is in place of someone else's conscription. Not only can there be economic benefits, but also the respect of others, where to find this good thing!

Even the county magistrate Ma Zhou didn't think of the forced labor that the people avoided in the past. But under Jingwen's method of turning decay into magic, it actually became a situation where everyone rushed to come over to serve the service. What everyone hated was now a sweet treat. And Ma Zhou originally just wanted to recruit hundreds of people, because hundreds of people were enough to serve in place of the whole county. Because Mengjin County is only more than 20,000 people. Of these, only a little more than 10,000 men are subject to forced labor. However, it is impossible for the government to send more than 10,000 men to serve in the conscription at once, and the absolute number of men in a county is already high. So. Recruiting hundreds of people to serve full-time conscription is enough to meet the needs of the government.

But now there are no less than a few hundred people who have come to conquer and conscript. Even, there are many people who come to inquire later, if there is really an open recruitment, then I am afraid that there will be more and more people who are willing to come to serve in the conscription, and even the whole county is grabbing these fragrant and sweet spots. After all, it is not many opportunities to increase one's own income by 50 percent, and to increase the income of family members and relatives by 50 percent. Coupled with the respect of the people of the county, this is something that cannot be measured.

"Jie Shuai, what do you think?" Ma Zhou asked.

"What to do? It's just competition! Jingwen said.

Since everyone wants to come here to serve in place of everyone, it is natural that there will be competition for posts. Anyway, Jingwen doesn't think there is any difference between this and job hunting in later generations, it's just to grab a "good job". From today onwards, conscription is no longer a chore job, but a specialized profession. Since it is a specialized profession, it can be solved by guò competition for posts. Now that so many people are applying, Ma Zhou can completely select the best from among them, and then select some excellent people to serve in the service, so that the skills of these people can be maximized.

"Okay, three days later, we will start to test everyone's abilities outside the wasteland outside the east of the city. If there is no pass guò assessment, then it will not be able to replace everyone to serve in the conscription. If you pass the assessment, then you can replace the people of the whole county to serve in the conscription, so it's fair, right? Ma Zhou said.

"Well, fair and fair! Whoever has sufficient ability to be able to serve in the conscription on behalf of everyone, of course this is good! Otherwise, this salary is not so easy to get. Everyone answered.

Soon, the news spread, that is, the news about the government's recruitment of people to replace everyone to serve as a full-time servant also spread, and this news immediately caused some sensation among the people of Mengjin County, after all, as long as everyone is not a dice, they can see where the interests are. Therefore, many people are gearing up to compete for three or four hundred positions. (To be continued......)
