Chapter 85: The Power of Roasted Sweet Potatoes (3)
In winter, the skin was already brittle, and when it was smashed by the hard sweet potato, Zhao Donkey's head immediately opened a hole, and the red blood flowed down.
"Healer, healer!"
Zhang Shiping opened his mouth to summon the doctor, he was very optimistic about this person, and he already had the intention of recruiting, and when he saw such a good opportunity, he naturally would not miss it.
The doctor first stopped the bleeding for Zhao Donkey's eggs, and then took the pulse: "It's not a big deal, the impact was too big for a while, and I fainted, but it was just ......"
He frowned: "Little boy, this person is hungry all the year round, and his body has lost too much, I'm afraid he will have to take care of it for a few months before he can return to normal." ”
Hearing the doctor's words, Zhang Shiping's eyes lit up.
As a well-informed family, he is also a rough doctor of science.
Although there is no shortage of jokes about Confucian scholars curing themselves to death, the criterion of the great doctor is the great Confucian, but it is in line with common sense.
"In other words, this person's current strength is not at its peak?"
Zhang Shiping naturally heard another meaning in the doctor's words.
"If he is well-healed, he should be like this." The healer nodded.
In a state of perennial hunger, people only have three points of strength in their heyday.
While the two were talking, Zhao Donkey had woken up leisurely, he was stunned, and got up:
"Big official, big man, I missed just now, please let me try again!"
Ignoring the blood on his face, he pleaded bitterly.
One hundred catties of grain, save a little frugality, enough for him to eat for two months!
"Who else is in your family?" Zhang Shiping asked rhetorically.
"The eldest young master doesn't know, he is an orphan."
In the crowd, everyone rushed to answer.
It's all the people around, who doesn't know who's business!
"It's not!" The honest Zhao Donkey suddenly retorted: "The master raised me for three months, although he didn't recognize me anymore, but I remember that he told me to let him give him a pension!" ”
Zhao Donkey doesn't know any big truth, but he still knows the truth of this drop of rice.
"Master?" Zhang Shiping blinked, what do you mean.
Someone pointed to a big chimney in the town and said, "It's Master Zhao in the town, who once accepted him as a righteous son......"
Zhang Shiping nodded, what a chance!
He rolled his eyes and said deliberately loudly:
"Ben will be the third prince's tent under the left camp of the camp, Zhao Donkey, let me ask you, are you willing to be under the command of our army, as long as you are willing, Ben will give you five hundred catties of food!"
"Five hundred pounds of grain?"
The people squatting in front of the table were short of breath.
Zhang Shiping continued: "This is just a settling-in allowance, after that, as long as you are in the army for one year, you will get a subsidy of 500 catties of food, which is for your family, and you yourself have a military salary of ten taels of silver." ”
"If you die in battle, our army will be subsidized for five years, and the food subsidy will remain the same!"
With Zhang Shiping's words, everyone's breathing became even faster!
Oh, my God!
Not to mention the money, the food alone is enough for two people to save money for a year!
In addition, the family will save their own rations, so that they can also feed their children!
"I do!"
Zhao Donkey Dan knelt on the ground with a pop.
"General, I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do, the master saved my life when I was dying, and taught me the craft, these things, please transfer them to my master!"
Zhao Donkey tom kowtowed on the ground.
"I can't give him a pension to the end, these food and money will be regarded as my kindness!"
Zhao Donkey's sincere words made Zhang Shiping's face stiffen.
Don't look at the lot he promised just now, in fact, it's okay to be a silver coin.
Although he promised to give a lot of food, it was sweet potatoes that were distributed.
However, for the people, these 500 catties of sweet potatoes are the root of their hearts.
Zhang Shiping took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the shamelessness in his heart:
"This repayment, I won't replace you, little four!"
He stretched out his hand and summoned Guo Xiaosi: "When the grain is delivered, you will personally accompany him and send the grain to the blacksmith!" ”
Zhang Shiping glanced at Guo Xiaosi.
There is a lack of blacksmiths in the army, and if this Zhao blacksmith can also be persuaded to serve in the army, it will be a beautiful thing......
……
Seeing that the helpless Zhao Donkey Egg was valued by the military master, and he also got so much food and money, everyone only felt that there were mixed tastes.
For a while, envy, jealousy and hatred filled everyone's hearts.
Seeing the reaction of the people, Zhang Shiping chuckled, and as far as the eye could see, he could already see his own convoy transporting sweet potatoes.
"This general is under the command of the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Shiping is in the left battalion, and today he is aiming to set up a recruitment banner here, but anyone who is over fifteen years old, under thirty-five years old, and has no physical disabilities, can sign up to join the army!"
He unfurled the banner of recruitment that made people rush to make it, and said:
"But if there are those who pass the acceptance, they will be immediately issued 500 catties of settling-in food, and after passing the training, they will be given the first year's military expenses and the first year's settling-in food!"
As soon as Zhang Shiping's words fell, he was drowned out by the shouts one after another.
"Master, count me as one, I'm just thirty-two ......"
"Young Master, I'm over my age, but can I sign up for my two boys?"
"General, I signed up, I signed up for my aunt's old watch, and my uncle's old watch also signed up!"
……
The people who have enthusiastically signed up have already submerged Zhang Shiping!
"Don't worry, queue up, queue up, whether it's yourself signing up, or signing up for relatives and friends, you can do it!"
Zhang Shiping hurriedly recruited soldiers to take charge of recruitment......
The endless convoy has arrived.
Everyone smelled the sweet smell of roasted and boiled sweet potatoes, and they only felt a fever in their stomachs......
Such fragrant grain can be regarded as miscellaneous grains, and they also admit it!
……
Zhang Shiping had already jumped off the table and asked the soldiers to start registering, thanks to the rules set by His Royal Highness, most of the officers and soldiers in the army could write hundreds of Chinese characters.
Although it is still a little difficult to record the names of places and people, for a local snake like Bai Shuizhang, even if it is a typo, as long as you know a sound, you can touch the door......
Are you afraid that this person who has signed up will not be able to join the army?
Besides, he said that as long as the training is qualified, there will be ten taels of silver plus the first year's settlement food!
In this way, in the era of food shortage, there will be a shortage of soldiers?
Zhang Shiping looked at the encircled recruiting office, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
I have to say that the roasted sweet potato thing is really powerful......
……
Zhao Donkey's head was wrapped in gauze, but he had already changed into a large military uniform.
Next to him was Guo Xiaosi, who was getting shorter and shorter, and there were soldiers pushing a trolley behind him, carrying five bags of sweet potatoes, towards Zhao Blacksmith's house.
"Let's go, didn't you say it, you and I are no longer masters and apprentices!"
