After finishing the firearm workshop, Yang Shanlu came to the training ground outside the fort. However, after arriving, he only saw Hai Rigu, Qian Lanzi and the group of four, but did not see Qi Zhenzong.
Yang Shanlu just asked, "Where is Master Qi?"
Hai Rigu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master Qi went to the county to recruit troops. We could go for this kind of thing, but he said that the source of troops is the foundation of the army and is the top priority, and he has to do it himself."
Yang Shanlu laughed after hearing this. This Qi Zhenzong is worthy of being a famous general in the future. He has a deep understanding of the military...
At this time, Cheng Wu's eyes were sharp, and he was already smiling and pointing away and said, "Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived, and Master Qi has returned with the recruited soldiers."
"Really—" Yang Shanlu looked at the official road, and he saw a group of young men walking here in line, and the leader was Qi Zhenzong.
After Qi Zhenzong came to the training ground, he saw Yang Shanlu there, and said excitedly: "The adults are here too! Look at the soldiers recruited this time, all of them are great boys!"
Yang Shanlu didn't look at it at all, but looked at him lovingly and said: "Zhenzong, haven't you already been equipped with a horse? Why are you still coming back!"
"Hehe, isn't this that these recruits don't have horses? I, a superior, can't be special, so I walked with them." Qi Zhenzong wiped the sweat from his head, and then he laughed.
What else can Yang Shanlu say... If there is such a famous general who will lead his troops for him, are you afraid that he will not be able to bring out a powerful army in the world
Then Yang Shanlu checked the recruiting source, and after seeing it, he was very satisfied. They were all great young men in their early twenties, and even the quality of this group of soldiers was better than the previous two batches.
Of course, this is also very obvious, because the soldiers recruited in the first two ate and drank well here, and they also got 40 acres of land, and most of these are local soldiers, so this is the best advertising effect. It’s hard to recruit good soldiers...
Of course, as the person in charge of this recruitment, Qi Zhenzong is even more satisfied, remembering that he and Yang Shanlu had an agreement that he would be in charge of 500 soldiers in 3 years!
But now, it's only been a month since I haven't arrived... It has jumped from 60 soldiers to 100 soldiers! At this rate of development, are the 500 soldiers still afraid that they will not be able to reach it? It's not impossible even 1000 or anything... Haha!
After seeing this group of recruits, Yang Shanlu said: "Okay, take them down, but move fast. Today, we will arrange food and lodging for them. Everyone should be able to take a bath! It should be burned. The clothing is about to be burned, and sanitation and epidemic prevention should be done, you know—"
"Yes—" Hai Rigu and the others agreed repeatedly, preparing to lead these recruits away.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shanlu had spoken, but these recruits stood still and refused to leave, and they all looked greedily at the continuous land outside the fort.
"Is this forty acres of land to be allocated to us in the future?"
"That's right... The Ergouzi in our village has already got it! Said it was on the land outside the fort and gave him to Midea... The family is looking for a wife for him. No, I'm here too..."
And hearing this kind of dialogue, Yang Shanlu showed a smile on his face. Based on the people's obsession with land, his own policy of using land to recruit soldiers is still very wise...
However, Yang Shanlu was a little funny to find that this obsession is a bit too much now... Not only these recruits are looking at the land idiotically, but even those who have been training on the training ground for a long time. Soldiers, from time to time they also secretly take two glances...
And this is no way. Although the saline-alkali land has been developed for so long, it has already surpassed the 2,000 acres of land deeds, but it can't hold the Yangshan Reed to recruit troops faster!
Even if the 800 acres obtained from Wang Papi are added, it can only satisfy the allocation of 50 soldiers, so up to now, regardless of these recruits, there are still 10'veterans' who have not been allocated their land!
Therefore, when these soldiers are training every day, they just look at the saline-alkali land idiotically, hoping that they can be cultivated as soon as possible so that they can own their own land...
And seeing such a scene, Yang Shanlu was still very happy, with such a strong obsession, waiting for the land to be allocated in the future, in order to defend the hard-won land and protect his own interests from infringement. If a powerful enemy invades, you will definitely fight to the death...
But anyway, I still need to train well now. Yang Shanlu just coughed lightly: "It's done, well, don't watch it. If anyone is thinking about it, be careful that I cut his land!"
Yang Shanlu made a kind joke.
Well, those recruits were shocked when they heard this. Although they don’t know Yang Shanlu yet, just by looking at the respect and respect of the officials around him, you know that this is a big man. When I heard that they were still threatening them with land, they were all scared rabbits, and they quickly obediently obeyed the command.
Those veterans who have been training for some time are all familiar with Yang Shanlu’s temperament, knowing that this is just a kind joke, so after making a good laugh, they resisted their expectations and started serious training. stand up.
It was the money basket on the side. After seeing it, he smiled and said, "Hehe, the power of the land is still great. These bastards are honest in an instant under this pressure."
"Isn't it? Just like yesterday, I don't know who it is. After getting the land where Wang Papi was originally, they are all excited to come to me for a drink!" Cheng Meng on the side joked.
"Fuck you! You said me... I don't know who it is. I was drunk yesterday. I said that with these places, I can find a lady from a big family in the future..." Qian Lanzi was not to be outdone.
When he heard this kind of "revealing each other's old friends", Yang Shanlu smiled. This is the preferential treatment he gave to his old brothers.
Because the 800 acres of land are all first-class fertile land, which has been planted for a few years, so after obtaining the land, it is distributed to recruits for fear of causing unevenness, so he simply asks his old brothers to replace their land. It has become a share of these 800 acres.
In this way, the fairness is maintained, and the old brothers under him have been benefited.
Even this time, even Qi Zhenzong's land problem was solved. Yang Shanlu rewarded him with a full 200 acres of land according to the rank of deputy hundred households, so that he would not be dragged down by money matters and concentrate on training soldiers.
On the next day, after all the soldiers were on the training ground, they began to practice as usual. After a while, Qi Zhenzong came to ask for instructions: "My lord, are those veterans ready for actual combat training, right?"
"Yes—" Yang Shanlu nodded. Now that the firearms workshop is officially running, more than 30 spears and waist knives have been produced. The quality has been praised by everyone, and it is fully qualified for actual combat training.
After Qi Zhenzong got the order, he went to execute it.
At this time, the benefits of recruiting him are manifested. Whether it is training pikemen or birdgun soldiers, Yang Shanlu does not need to personally guide them. These things can be handed over to Qi Zhenzong... with his ancestral skills. , Can train very well.
Of course, Qi Zhenzong is in full control of the training of soldiers, and will he turn his back on him in the future? Yang Shanlu was not worried either.
Because Yang Shanlu knows very well that the land deed of each soldier was issued by him, and the payment of each soldier was paid by him (the land just reclaimed was not produced in the first few months, so the first year Each military household can have two cents of silver).
Even Yang Shanlu often went to the dining hall to feed these soldiers, letting them know where the meat they ate every day came from! So don't worry, you will be emptied in the future!
And one of the most important points is that Yang Shanlu is familiar with Qi Zhenzong’s life trajectory. He knows very well that this is not a person who is greedy for power, but really wants to do something for this nation, so he absolutely doesn’t need it. worry.
It's just that everyone's thoughts cannot be the same after all. Ten days later, when they began to further divide the arms, the two people had differences for the first time. (End of this chapter)
