Li De immediately approved the recruitment of new soldiers, his decision was not simple, the vanguard soldiers are very money-consuming.

Not to mention how much material and time is needed to train qualified soldiers, horses alone are a big expense.

Even if the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce controls the cattle and horse market in Youzhou, the newly recruited soldiers need to have at least 300,000 people.

300,000 horses is a frightening expense.

Several lieutenants mentioned the matter of soldiers and horses, and Li De immediately put the matter of recruiting troops and horses on the guard.

The life of the people of Youzhou is better, and the children in the family have begun to increase, and the recruitment quota this time is very important to the people of Youzhou.

Spread the news as soon as possible, and there are provisions in Youzhou's decree that all those who meet the requirements need to respond to recruitment, and there is no such thing as military registration in Youzhou.

The work of the city guard was carried out in full force, and the barracks in the suburbs were full of people in a few days, and the people of Youzhou who met the requirements needed to respond.

Vanguard soldiers are not recruited on a large scale every year, so the quota is also precious, to say why it is so easy to recruit so many people.

It can only be said that Youzhou now has a population base, and it is no longer the time to recruit in the surrounding areas.

It took a lot of effort to recruit soldiers and horses at the beginning, and it was necessary to go to the surrounding cities and counties, but now Youzhou has a large population, and 300,000 soldiers are easy to recruit.

Pioneers will train directly after recruitment, and those who have not been able to hold on to the previous week will be selected.

The vanguard needs elites, so the screening method is very straightforward, even if those who are not qualified can not pass, they can be regarded as having a workout, and the food for a week is free.

The treatment of the vanguards is very good, and after all the unqualified ones leave, the insufficient places will continue to be recruited, and they will still be eliminated in training.

After everyone has passed the first level, there will be a meeting to officially integrate into the team, and there will be multiple screenings during the training period, and the results of the training will be very important and will affect the subsequent distribution.

Although the vanguard rarely goes out to fight, it has never slackened, and there are many internal arms, such as personal guards, escorts, vanguards, firearms battalions, and so on.

If the training is only qualified, but it can't be elite, those who can stay will also be arranged in the logistics and other teams.

When the work is reversed, it will be more dull, although the vanguard is very harmonious internally, and only with logistics can there be combat effectiveness.

Li De put the matter of recruiting troops in the first place, and 300,000 cavalry was not easy to train, so the price of horses in the cattle and horse shops increased again.

The horse reserves of Youzhou Cattle and Horses were originally small, and after recruitment, the Cattle and Horses sold even fewer horses, which directly attracted the attention of many forces.

They don't pay attention to it, they can't do it, and they are nervous about recruiting troops in Youzhou.

How many vanguards are there in Youzhou, so far, no one knows how many there are except inside Youzhou, and even the people in the Youzhou City Guard Mansion are not clear.

From the beginning of the establishment of the castle guard, the vanguard business was independent, and the information on the troops was also classified.

Li Deke is a person who can take precautions, how could he not make some preparations, when Youzhou recruited soldiers and horses for the first time, the number of pioneers at that time reached 700,000.

The reason why Youzhou will be less than 400,000 is that many soldiers and horses are stationed in various parts of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji. The whole book

There were three sets of soldiers and horses transferred to the fishing city, and each time they passed by sea, there were 50,000 people, and the last two were soldiers and horses used to garrison the fishing city.

The 150,000 people who were directly transferred were all transferred from Youzhou, and there were no garrisons from other state capitals at all.

The reduction in the number of soldiers and horses in Youzhou is only the number of people stationed in one area, and the captains are so anxious to expand the soldiers and horses on the one hand, they really need to replenish the soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, they are to reserve troops.

Because according to the pioneer system, veterans can choose to retire every few years, and these people will be counted in advance and arranged according to the individual's length of service and willingness.

The job of the captains is not only to train every day, but also to do a lot of work, and this time the retirement statistics have been counted, so there are soldiers to be recruited to replenish.

The vanguard is the foundation of the Youzhou forces, and Li De attaches great importance to it, and 300,000 war horses need at least 10 million yuan at the current price of Youzhou cattle and horses.

According to the cost price, it also requires nine million yuan, plus the cost of the armor is good, Li De feels that the wealth of the Li family is actually not very much.

The lieutenants are all responsible for carrying out orders, so the matter of money is still up to him, the governor, to do it.

"Inform the person in charge of finance to raise the previous five million yuan."

According to Youzhou's current annual taxes, it can still be obtained, and what can be taken does not mean that it is not distressed, which is equivalent to taking away one-third of the wealth accumulated in the past few years.

No matter how confident I am, I feel a little empty.

Li De had already anticipated the consumption capacity of a million soldiers and horses, and after this recruitment, the vanguard would increase the expenditure budget of the city guard every year, and pay at least 10% more.

When Li De left the city guard mansion and returned to the governor's mansion, a dinner party had been prepared in the governor's mansion, and a banquet would be held when he returned from traveling, and it was also very good to watch the lively family.

"Husband, the cost of recruiting soldiers and horses is very large, is the matter of Qianzhuang to be temporarily suspended?" Yang Yuer asked.

"No, the accounts of the city guard mansion are not bad, and the affairs of the money village will continue to be a hard worker."

Li De has a lot of things to do, and the things of Qianzhuang involve the Li family, and as the governor of the capital, it is not easy for him to use all his experience in this area, and he always has to be influenced by ideas.

Moreover, the financial problems of the castle guard house have a lot of investment income in addition to taxes, and if the money village is built, this part of the investment income will be even more.

If all the taxes are put in the treasury and pressed, it will not be good for the economy.

No matter when the economy is developed, it is the first priority, and he does not have to worry about training as long as he has money.

A few days later, Li De still decided to open Youzhou Bank, which is more credible, and the business loan can be carried out as usual, but there is an additional guarantee, and the Li family's money can be borrowed through Youzhou Money Village to be more standardized and guaranteed.

Subsequently, the think tank and the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce all intervened in the affairs of Qianzhuang, and submitted a complete plan in half a month.

The Chamber of Commerce of Weili, as the party that executed the plan, settled the location of the money bank, the house and other matters in a few days.

Suddenly, many people saw the extra money and thought it was strange, and when everyone was curious, the Chamber of Commerce made a publicity.

When the people found out, they didn't pay much attention to it, but the businessmen began to pay attention to it, and the savings business was to make money with money, and what they paid more attention to was the matter of borrowing.
