Jushou said, "Going back to the lord, Mr. Zhang has already seen him. Liu Hao was originally weak, but he was frightened at the wedding. He has been a little confused. Recently, he doesn't know the reason. He has become more serious and often talks nonsense. He was crazy, and even beat and scolded people in the yard for no reason. Mr. Zhang said that this disease is different from other diseases. It is not a common medicine and stone can be cured. He has no good way for a while, so he can only use some calming nerves. Drugs, but treat the symptoms but not the root cause,"
Liu Xin has already understood. It turns out that Liu Hao is suffering from a mental illness, and he is still a martial lunatic. Not to mention this age, even in later generations, this disease is the most difficult to treat. Liu Hao got this disease, he himself Maybe it didn’t feel much, but it hurt Wu Cheng. Liu Xin felt a little guilty. If he hadn’t insisted that Cheng Yu return Wu Cheng to Liu Hao, the little girl would not suffer the crime. ,
Jushou didn't know what Liu Xin was thinking. Seeing Liu Xin remained silent, he cautiously said: "Master, the subordinate thought that this Liu Hao might be pretending to be mad and stupid. The subordinate immediately sent someone to watch him closely and pay attention to him. Every move,"
Liu Xin knew that with Liu Hao’s ability, he should not be able to think of this way. He was probably really crazy. Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn’t help shook his head and said, “Forget it, he is also a Han family clan. If you want to make trouble, let him make trouble."
Jushou also stopped insisting on his own opinions, and continued: "The lord, the news from Chang'an, Dong Zhuozheng wantonly recruits civilian husbands, he does not know what he wants, and he needs to be careful."
Liu Xin was vaguely impressed. Dong Zhuo once recruited more than 200,000 civilian husbands in history and built a Wuwu near Chang'an. He can't remember exactly when it was built. He can't remember it. It's now, Liu Xin dare not be sure. , But now he has just won the three counties of Yizhou, what he needs most is stability, so he said: "Gongyou, for Dong Zhuo, as long as you keep an eye on his actions, no matter what he does, we will only respond to changes with the same. If he dares to attack, he must be called to come and go. If he does not come, he will wait for our recruits to train and set off his lair."
After another five or six days, Wu Xian gave birth to a daughter in the Exian post house. At that time, the sun was setting, and the afterglow was shining in the house, reflecting the red light in the room. Everyone who knew it was amazed, and Sun Ce was also very happy. After directing the crowd, he saw Cheng Pu rushing in, holding a large piece of paper in his hand, and said repeatedly: "Young Master, there is good news. You don't have to wait until next year to apply."
Sun Ce was also overjoyed when he heard this. It seems that his sister is really a strange person and can bring good luck. He couldn't help but ask: "Demou, is it right that E County has started recruiting soldiers again,"
Cheng Pu smiled mysteriously, replaced the paper in his hand to Sun Ce, and said, "Young Master, you see, we can go to Shu County, Guanghan, and Qianwei to apply, and the number of posts there is not full yet."
Sun Ce took the piece of paper, and saw four large characters neatly written in the middle of the paper. Dahan Express. There were many articles on both sides of the paper. Some introduced the taxation policy, some introduced the recruitment policy, and there was an introduction. The military treatment includes some fragments extracted from the Jingshi sub-collection, and even a large section of jokes. In the most eye-catching place, there is a whole page serialized with the story, the title is "Journey to the West", and there are paintings next to it. A half-man, half-monkey with a stick in his hand,
Seeing Sun Ce's blank face, Cheng Pu quickly pointed his finger and said, "Young Master, look here, the three counties of Shu, Guanghan, and Qianwei have not recruited enough soldiers this year, and there are still many gaps."
Sun Ce took a closer look. What was written there was a newsletter on current affairs. The content was rather complicated. It included the appointment and dismissal of officials from various regions, the taxation situation in the past few months, and even the price situation in various regions. The recruitment situation this year was also caught in it. It was just a small piece of news that was very inconspicuous, but for Sun Ce he did not hesitate to give God the gospel. He couldn't help but ask: "Demou, what is this thing and where did it come from,"
Cheng Pu bowed his hand and explained patiently: "Back to the young master, they call this a newspaper. It was issued by the government only recently. This is the first issue. There will be one or two issues every month thereafter. This kind of newspaper It’s quite expensive, and each one is sold for one penny. This one is borrowed from the post and will be returned soon."
Sun Ce is still only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he is very interested in this novel game, especially the serial. He really wants to take a look. It is regrettable that he learned that this newspaper was not bought by Cheng Pu. Said: "Even though we are embarrassed, we can still get a penny, why not buy one by ourselves, or take a closer look, what is the difference between Liu Xin and others?"
Cheng Pu said helplessly: "Although this newspaper is expensive, it is still very popular. When I get the news, it will not be available on the market for a long time."
At this moment, Yi Cheng walked in and said, "General Cheng, you can finish reading the newspaper. If you finish reading, please return it to the villain early. The villain has to put it away.”
Sun Ce did not carefully consider the application. He just hurriedly read the "Journey to the West" for a few lines, and saw the post-cheng look stingy, not feeling annoyed, so he returned the newspaper to the post-cheng, but he was very unhappy in his heart. She, waited a long time for the post-cheng to leave, then looked back, and said, "Demou, it is not too late, we will set off for Guanghan to see if we can apply for the army."
Wu Shu was very happy that his son was able to awaken in Poran. Since he wanted to join Liu Xin's army with his own ability, how could he not support it? When Sun Ce was leaving, Wu Shu gave Liu Xin a large bag of gold and silver. I took them out and handed them all to Sun Ce, and repeatedly told him to work hard when he arrived in the army and not to have other ideas.
Sun Ce did not take all the gold and silver away, but took out a small part as a entanglement. The rest was quietly handed over to Sun Quan. After leaving the post, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai rode three horses, all the way to the whip, and went straight. Luocheng,
From Jiangxia to Bajun, there are flat roads along the way. Sun Ce and the others rushed forward and wished to fly to Luocheng. At this time, the autumn harvest had just ended, and there were still groups of busy people in the fields. The county is another scene. There are large-scale construction projects everywhere. This is the engineering team repairing roads, bridges, cities, and constructing water conservancy facilities.
The engineering team has now grown to a scale of 100,000 people, of which more than half are newly organized Yizhou prisoners. Although a large number of prisoners were used, it did not affect the progress of the project at all, because these prisoners were no more motivated than those. The old members of the engineering team are poor. In addition to the assessment and incentive mechanism implemented by Liu Xin, these Yizhou captives also discovered that they came to participate in the so-called forced labor, which is to do some physical work of repairing bridges, paving roads and building cities, but the food is better than them. It’s much better in the Yizhou army. Not only can you be full, but you can also eat meat and eggs almost every day.
In recent years, in addition to vigorously developing agricultural production and commercial trade, Liu Xin has also carried out an important task, which is to vigorously promote livestock and poultry breeding in his jurisdiction to ensure that meat can be supplied to the army in large quantities. With the development of breeding, in addition to satisfying the supply of the army, there is more meat on the market. In the past, except for a few nobles, ordinary people rarely eat meat several times a year. The intake of protein mainly depends on legumes. Now the people are wealthy. Now, with the economic strength to buy meat, and there is ample supply of meat on the market, the standard of living is naturally getting better day by day. Now even the prisoners of the engineering team and the criminals in the prison can eat meat.
After living in Xiangyang for so long, of course Sun Ce and the others knew that Liu Xin had an engineering team responsible for building roads and other tasks. They also knew that the engineering team was mainly composed of prisoners of war or former prisoners of war. What they did not expect was that these were in the past. The prisoners of war in the present tense or in the present tense, not only did not stand up and did not choose to escape, but they all worked very happily. Seeing such a scene, the hearts of all three people sank halfway, so that the prisoners of war could be willing to be willing. They can’t help but have a new perspective on Liu Xin’s abilities, and they are less and less hopeful about whether they can find opportunities to rise again in the future.
They stayed overnight, and after three days of work, they rushed to Luocheng. They didn't live in an inn on the way. The same was true when they came here. They just found an inn and lived in.
The next morning, after paying for the room, they asked Xiaoer about the recruiting office. Xiaoer led them to the door, pointed towards the city, and said, "Three guest officers, follow this rule. Going down the road, where you see the most people, there is the recruitment office."
Sun Ce listened to Xiao Er's words, he couldn't help being a little anxious. He didn't expect to hurry up. Luocheng, which had not recruited full members a few days ago, has now recruited more people. When they find the recruiting office, there is already a sea of people, Sanjo The long dragon lined up one mile away, and the orderly soldiers walked around with their spear salt. In fact, if they came a few days earlier, here would be another scene. The recruiting office could be quite a bit, and the recruiting officials were doing nothing. Yawn,
In this case, it was impossible to jump in the line. Sun Ce and the others hurriedly stood at the end of the line. They lined up together from early morning to midday, and then they came to the forefront.
The person responsible for the recruitment of their team was a local book official in Luocheng. He was tired for most of the day and looked listless. He didn't even have the strength to look up at Sun Ce. He just shouted very mechanically: " Name, age, household registration certificate,"
Sun Ce couldn't help but asked, "What is the household registration certificate?"
In fact, the household registration of the three counties including Guanghan is currently underway, and the registration is far from complete. However, the household registration inspection during the recruitment process is very strict. In order to meet the needs, those who participate in the recruitment can give priority to the household registration registration. These are all How did Sun Ce know about the new toys implemented in Liu Xin’s jurisdiction
The book official heard that he did not have a household registration certificate, so he ignored him, and said casually: "If you don't have a household registration certificate, go to the Yamen to fill in and come back, the next one,"
Sun Ce was anxious when he heard it, and said, "You accept me first. I am a martial artist, and I am a good soldier."
The book official became a little impatient, and shouted: "It is absolutely impossible without a household registration certificate. Hurry up and go to one side and let the people behind come first."
Behind Sun Ce are Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. They also don’t have a household registration certificate, but the people behind them can’t wait any longer, and they are agitated.
Sun Ce thought that he had been in line for most of the day, but because of his words, he was about to start over again. He couldn't help but feel angry. He hit the table in front of the bookkeeper with a "pop" punch. That table had a big hole abruptly,
