Dangtu, located in the south of the river, is a subordinate of Danyang County. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Qin was appointed as the town general of Danyang County, and he should have taken up his post in Jiangning, the county governor of Danyang County. However, Li Qin thought that he was a native of Dangtu and was promised by the emperor to return to the south, so he resolutely did not go to Jiangning, and only planned to open his own town and general mansion in Dangtu.

Li Qin is willful, but he also has his own ideas: he wants to come to farm and then dominate the world, but he doesn't want to fight with these ancient people in officialdom, so when he doesn't have the corresponding strength, he will never go to a big place like Jiangning.

Therefore, those complicated affairs and entanglements of forces in Jiangning City, Li Qin avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and resolutely refused to go.

The officials in Jiangning City, especially those military attachés, were very dissatisfied with this. They started a lawsuit with Li Qin.

There was an exchange of official documents, and the copywriting lawsuit even went to the Eastern Capital. In the end, the emperor gave an order: "When Tu's affairs are up to Li Qin, he is the general of Danyang, and it is his business to open the mansion wherever he likes." At this time, less than two months before the disbandment of the army, the emperor still remembered Li Qin's merits. He knew that Li Qin was injured for the country, and he only had two years to live, so he naturally showed great tolerance for Li Qin's small willfulness.

The ruling was issued, and in order to show his "favor" to Li Qin, the emperor specially transported a batch of materials from the eastern capital to Dangtu. The supplies included grain and grass, gold and silver, iron and iron, as well as a hundred beauties and five hundred craftsmen.

The emperor thought that Li Qin needed this, especially after knowing that Li Qin was still young and had not left an heir, he also had a plan in his heart to let Li Qin leave the seeds so that he could serve himself in the future.

After all, Li Qin was able to practice to the innate realm at the age of twenty, and the exercises he practiced were absolutely amazing.

The emperor would not directly ask Li Qin for his exercises, but he hoped that Li Qin would create more "little Li Qin" in this year or two. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Li Qin's life was really only two years, and the emperor's own daughter was too young, the emperor would really order the princess to be given to Li Qin in marriage.

In short, when the ruling of the Eastern Capital and the emperor's reward came to the people of Danyang County through the Grand Canal, the officials of Danyang County couldn't help but keep their mouths shut.

All people in officialdom know that the most important thing in officialdom is not how capable you are, but your interpersonal relationships in the entire officialdom, and whether the emperor himself trusts you or not.

The emperor is the chief leader of all officials, the one who holds their lives in his hands. A word landed, a word ascended to heaven, their fate and future are completely pinned on the emperor.

Since the emperor has made such a statement, these people who still want to mess around in the square, and whether they have the power to wrestle with the emperor or not as a backstage can only comply.

And that's a matter of course. After all, unlike the north, where there are many gate lords, the Chen land in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, was the base area where the emperor himself led his troops to fight and sat in the town for several years. This is Yang Guang's basic plate, and it is also what Yang Guang thinks can make him feel at ease at the moment.

A few years later, the north was completely in chaos, and the emperor felt uneasy and toured south to Jiangdu, making it his base camp.

Danyang is not far from Jiangdu, and there is only a big river in the middle.

The civil officials of Danyang County no longer made trouble, and the military attaches were divided into two factions: some of them used the excuse of defending Jiangning Gong to defend Jiangdu, and did not go to Dangtu and Li Qin to make trouble; The other part of the people who have no background and no background are reluctantly joining Li Qin's command in the west.

For these military generals from the West, Li Qin treated them differentially: self-motivated and capable people included them in his army, so that they started from relatively low official positions and gradually came under their control; As for others, who were incapable, old, and unwilling to obey orders, Li Qin gave them some false titles, allowing them to occupy a position in their own military town, which can be regarded as raising them with honor.

In the meantime, there are also people who want to make trouble with Li Qin. But they have no backstage, no strength, and even martial arts and official positions are not as good as Li Qin, so where is Li Qin's opponent?

After a struggle, a crush, or a bribe, or a threat, or assassination, Li Qin finally completely turned Dangtu County into his own territory before the Spring Festival of the eleventh year of the Great Cause.

At the same time as the territory was retracted, Li Qin's changes to Dangtu also began.

Li Qin did not touch all kinds of things in Dangtu City, but built a city and town under the mountain shaped like a saddle in the north of Dangtu City. He first erected ten huge barns and filled them with grain.

Now is a troubled time, food is the most important, as long as there is food, no one will worry about their lives.

At that time, when the Liaodong and Goryeo people were playing for their lives, Cai Yan, who was alias Cai Wen, came to Dangtu to fight for Li Qin one step earlier. With the help of the materials given by Li Qin, she bought land between Xiangshan and Ma'anshan to build a mountain villa and a academy, and while building a good relationship with the local people, she appropriately disseminated some modern knowledge and tips to them.

Cai Yan was originally the daughter of a Han family, and the etiquette and demeanor taught to him by his father, who was a Confucian in the past, had long been engraved in her heart.

With such style, such a beautiful life, and being so knowledgeable, Cai Yan soon had a lot of fame in the land of Dangtu. It is said that even some of the courtships in Danyang County have moved westward in an attempt to establish a good relationship with such a beauty.

Of course, none of them succeeded.

And Li Qin's return to the south cut off the desire in their hearts.

"Coco Cai's fiancé!" For them, Li Qin, the general of Danyang Town, is a high mountain in front of them, and this high mountain is not something that these sons, who don't even have official positions, can overcome.

Since ancient times, Danyang has been rebellious, and since ancient times, Danyang has produced elite soldiers.

Although the people of Danyang are fierce, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who practice martial arts, and there are also those who want to use strong. But after all, Li Qin still has innate level combat power, but he subdued them one by one.

After a few fights, the local snakes in Danyang also understood that this newly appointed town would be a difficult role to play with.

Although some people say that he was seriously injured by Fu Cailin, the master of Yijian, and he was seriously injured with a sword, and he only had two years of life, as long as he did not die, these people in Danyang who were not even born would no longer dare to be presumptuous.

They all bowed their heads. Those who have a backstage say that they will not be mischievous, while those who do not have a backstage express their submission to Li Qin.

Li Qin did not mean to kill all these large and small forces that surrendered, while maintaining his strength, he gave them some benefits to make their benefits better.

In March of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Li Qin's official Yudangtu built a town and began to recruit troops.

According to the Great Sui military system, he could have 3,050 infantry and 1,500 cavalry under his command, a total of 5,000 people.

At this time, the world is becoming more and more turbulent, and many people are displaced everywhere. Therefore, after Li Qin erected the banner of recruiting troops and offered those treatments that seemed to be simply extravagant to people at the time, many men in Danyang County who did not have enough to eat came to apply.

In just three days, the number of people gathered north of Dangtu reached 20,000.

Of course, many of them are Danyang locals, but some of them are from the left side of Danyang, such as Liyang, Lujiang, Tong'an north of the Yangtze River and Xuancheng south of the Yangtze River. While they brought more options to Li Chin, they also brought news of local unrest.

The emperor's act of digging canals and conquering Goryeo three times was not wrong. However, the emperor himself arranged such a huge project and war to be completed in just a few years, but it greatly consumed the national and civil power of the Great Sui.

The top is better, and the bottom is better than Muyan!

The emperor was so happy that the orders he gave would be carried out by the underground bureaucracy, especially when there were a lot of these orders that could be used to give them the advantage of doing so, and their execution became even more excessive.

Under the emperor's labor and the persecution of the bureaucracy, a normal and humble life could no longer be maintained. Some of the people who were not afraid of death took up the business of thieves, and raised their butcher's knives and slashed them at those who were as poor as themselves. The state and county began to be in turmoil, people began to flee, and many people began to think about what they would do in the future.

At this time, whoever can give them a bite to eat, let alone let them go to the army, let them turn into thieves and become the so-called rebels, they are also willing.

"It's just...... Can you really get 500 yuan, 100 catties of rice and 1 catty of meat every month? The crowd that came to the north of Dangtu City looked at the big blackboard set up in front of the barracks, and listened to the loud reading of the soldiers standing in front of the blackboard, and their faces couldn't help but show ecstasy and surprise. At the end of the day, the conditions are too good for them to believe.

One hundred catties of rice is enough for an adult and two children to eat for a month, not to mention copper coins and a catty of meat. This kind of treatment, not to mention today's troubled times, even in the prosperous times, I am afraid that only small landlords with ten acres of land have such food.

"Of course you can, but you have to be able to pass the general's test...... The above treatment can only be enjoyed by the best warriors. If you only have one strength, I'm afraid you can only enjoy the basic treatment of a soldier. The soldier in front of the blackboard replied loudly, not only for the questioner, but also for everyone to know. Li Qin equipped the soldier with a high-tech headset so that his voice could be heard far and wide.

"And what is the treatment of basic soldiers?" Someone asked again.

"Fifty catties of rice, three taels of meat, and one hundred copper coins!" The soldier replied again: "Every month, the general will conduct a training assessment, and anyone who meets the standard can be promoted." But there are ups and downs. If you don't train enough to meet the standards, the pay there will also be reduced. What level to enjoy what treatment, this is the rule of our Danyang Town. ”

"Oh! So that's it! "Everyone understood.

"So what kind of assessment are we going to pass now?" They were all a little curious about Li Qin's recruitment conditions.

"You can go over there and sign up first...... The assessment will be conducted uniformly after three days. The soldier announced loudly, and at the same time he told the crowd: "Even if you can't pass the test and can't become a soldier, it's all right...... See the construction site over there? What kind of glass factory, steel factory, cement factory, paper mill or something is planned to be built here...... Although I don't know what this factory is for. But the adult said that as long as you enter the factory to work, how can you have a bite to eat with the adult. ”

"Really? But...... There are so many of us here, and you adults have the money to feed so many of us? "There are also people who are so worried.

"See the ten huge barns over there? It was full of grain, enough to feed 100,000 people for half a year...... I don't think there are necessarily 100,000 people in Danyang County. You said that my family has so much food, are you afraid that you will be poor? What's more, those factories in the large population can be completed in only half a year, and there is a corresponding output...... These are all very in-demand materials. The soldier truthfully recounted Li Chin's words.

"Is it really that amazing?" Most of the people believed it.

"It's that magical!" The soldier nodded vigorously.

All right!

Everyone is so sure, then these people will settle down, and there are still porridge sheds here and there. Although it looks a little clearer, at least you can still see the rice grains and fill in the belly.

I think I can survive for a few days.

A lot of people think so.

However, their thoughts did not last long. Because on the other side of the barracks, the recruitment of workers in various factories is also going on, although the recruitment treatment of these factories is not as high as that of the soldiers in the barracks: it is only forty catties of rations per month, one or two pieces of meat, and seventy yuan, but it is better to be stable, and the requirements are not too high.

Many young men and most of the boys who thought that they might not be able to pass the soldier assessment decided to go to the factory first.

Hey, those factories have weird names, and I don't know what they are, but at least they're all construction sites, and they're all building houses. It's just something that can be done with a little cleverness and a lot of effort, and no one thinks they can't.

So, they rushed to the recruitment point.

At this time, someone who arrived earlier came with exciting news: "What? As long as you work here for a day, you can get a pound of rice and ten coppers? ”

"Of course...... Do you see the vat over there? It's full of steaming white rice. A half-grown man in charge of recruitment raised his head very angrily: "As long as you are willing to work, there will be hot dry rice later." ”

As one of Fairy Cai's disciples, this kid who was a farmer half a year ago can now understand some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, know more than 100 big characters, and write them out. This is already regarded as a literate person in the eyes of others.

He was proud of this, and he was a little proud in front of people who were worse than himself.

"Ha ......" people gasped when they saw it, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but drool.

"Sign up, sign up, count me in!" Someone shouted loudly.

"I ...... I want it too! "For a while, there were already a cloud of applicants at the recruitment point.

They're all signing up. In order to have a bite to eat, in order to be able to support their families and children, they are willing to sell their strength.

"Recruitment has begun, and this side is on the right track." Standing on the beautiful Ma'an Mountain, facing the soft spring breeze in March, and looking at the hot scene under the mountain, Cai Yan, who was dressed in men's clothes, smiled and said to Li Qin who was standing beside him.

"Yes! The next step is just to follow the steps. Glass mills, paper mills, steel mills, cement mills, ...... As long as these are completed one by one, we will be able to have sufficient financial and material resources to expand the army. Next, let's use the time to accumulate our strength in a low-key manner. Li Qin nodded lightly.

"In this way, I am relieved!" Cai Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're leaving?" Li Qin asked her.

"Cruise the world, make a name for yourself, and get a few reliable helpers for you. Didn't we plan it in the first place? Cai Yan smiled softly: "Right now, your foundation is just beginning, and you are also needed here." ”

"Heh......" Li Qin laughed and nodded helplessly: "Yes!" ”

The spring breeze is warm, the spring color is pleasant, and Li Qin's career also began in this good spring.

This is March of the eleventh year of the Great Cause of Sui, and an old era is about to pass.
