"There's going to be a war."

Ma Run returned home and told his parents, uncle, and others who had just come from Tianmu County about it.

When the family was eating, more than 10 people, large and small, were sitting around the dining table, some were sitting on the ground with bowls and eating, and some were eating in the corridor.

Children eat in the corridor, older teenagers sit on the ground to eat, and old women and daughters-in-law with children eat in the house.

The room is not big, it is the kind of room that looks a little crowded, one large and one small, and the two rooms add up to more than 20 square meters.

Ma Run's father quickly said, "Do you want to fight with our hometown?" ”

Hearing the talk of the war, the women in the room also stopped talking and listened quietly to the sound outside the curtain.

Ma Run's family didn't all come over, and several brothers who became families all settled down in Tianmu County and refused to come.

Because he was the youngest child, and the married brother was relatively simple and unwilling to support his parents who were weak and weak, he came over after Ma Run wrote a letter to help him take care of the child.

Ma Run got married, and the woman who married was a woman who had been liberated from a nearby horse thief cottage a few years ago.

It doesn't matter what they used to do, now both of them are living, and a child has been born.

People who couldn't survive outside also followed, such as Ma Run's uncle and his uncle's children.

At present, they are basically working in power plants and farms, herding cattle and horses, learning to calculate and write, and how to care for livestock.

Major factories such as textile factories are still dominated by people from Shanhai County.

Ma Run said: "Today there is a meeting in the factory, and the county magistrate is going to mobilize 200,000 troops to attack Jinshan, and all the horse bandits in it will be cleared, and I and many others will be written on the list of participating in the war." ”

This time it is mandatory, there is no voluntary or involuntary, except for a few garrison corps left by Wang Lanling, the rest have to be pulled out for training.

It has always been a national policy to immerse soldiers in factories and farms, and at the same time, when they are in the army, they will train some people's skills as workers and peasants, so that more people have the ability to quickly establish base areas.

Ironmaking, planting, medicine gathering, leather processing, cooking, generator making, gun mine making, machinery maintenance, ......

Ma Run is not a regular army under Wang Lanling, he can only be regarded as an ordinary soldier.

When Ma Run's uncle heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to fight bandits, those bandits should be beaten!"

Fighting bandits is something that has been going on in Lanling County for a long time, so even the Ma Run family, who had only been here for a few months, could feel the rationality and normality of this kind of thing.

It is the way of heaven and is not dangerous.

Ma Run said: "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow to prepare and train, the factory asked me if there was anyone who could go over to help, now there is a shortage of people in the factory, and our family labor has work to do, I said no." ”

Ma Run's father quickly said: "This is not good, it should be said that there is, the wages at the steel mill are much better than those on the farm." ”

Ma Run said: "This job is dangerous, if you are not careful, you will die, and it will be uncomfortable in summer." ”

The steel mill was a very dangerous place, especially for the workers of this era, and the death of people was a regular occurrence.

Unlike the rest of the machinery factories, the steel mill burned a person in a few seconds, and the end was even more terrifying.

Although Wang Lanling constantly emphasizes safe production and rules and regulations, it is indeed inevitable that people will die.

Fry a stove, and one or two people are gone.

Ma Run's father said: "What's this, it's okay to be careful, the salary over there is more than ten yuan more than the farm every month, and I get off work early, and there is a high temperature subsidy in summer, and there are soda popsicles to eat." ”

There is no shortage of people in the steel mill, what is lacking is people who are cautious and willing to contribute.

At present, the main persons in charge of the steelmaking plant are all rising from front-line positions, except for technical personnel, Wang Lanling has not parachuted in any unrelated personnel in the past.

Ma Run looked at the back room and shouted, "Ah Fang, you come out, I have something to say to you." ”

Soon a woman came out of it, looked at Ma Run and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Ma Run sat up straight and said: "If I make a meritorious service this time, your inspection period will come to an end, the director told me, according to the regulations, as long as you can make meritorious service this time, no matter what kind of merit it is, you can be arranged to go to work in the newly opened textile factory." ”

When Ah Fang heard this, he said happily: "Okay, if I go to work, our family will have money!" ”

Most of the female workers in Lanling County are concentrated in the textile mills, because the profits of the textile factories are increasing year by year, and the development of the area, so the treatment has always been very good.

The most important thing is that most of the women in the city work there, and for the few people who have not been integrated into the mainstream group for a while, it is an honor to go to work in a textile factory.

When men are soldiers, women have jobs to be arranged, and they are prioritized.

The people around were envious and happy about it.

Not only the Ma Run family, but every household in the city is discussing the matter of attacking the Golden Mountain Bandits.

This time there is not only a job for the wives of military personnel, but also a series of incentives.

Fighting a war burns not only the money for logistics, but also the potential of the entire ruling system.

After winning the battle, the reward will be distributed, even if he has no credit, he has done things step by step, and he can't give nothing just because he didn't kill the enemy, right?

Either money, or material and honorary rewards that can be exchanged for money.

If you give honor, you must have social status.

Since ancient times, land, population, and slaughter and plunder have all been regarded as one of the rewards, and if you don't give a reward for winning a battle, it is easy to affect the morale of the army.

The empire is now burning money to train its troops and spending a lot of money to revitalize its military.

Wang Lanling also wants to burn money to train troops, to mobilize and gather morale, and to tell people outside that if they dare to offend his enemies, they must be mentally prepared to be hit hard by hundreds of thousands of troops!

Now it is possible to provide jobs through new factories, but once it enters a period of weakness and there is no new business expansion, then the war will be fatal.

The consequences of losing a battle and not giving money are also very large, and the soldiers who are defeated and cannot get the money are prone to mutiny.

Wang Lanling was well aware of these problems, so this time he did not go to the front-line battlefield, but inspected the counties to solve the complex problems that existed internally.

The military opens up the economy, the economy feeds back the military, Wang Lanling needs more money!

On the other hand, the old emperor was also worried about the huge military spending.

This scalp-numbing military spending is a necessity, and he desperately needs a big victory to stabilize the situation.

Money! Money! Money!

Fortunately, the old emperor's family was rich, and when his father unified the world, he plundered a lot of wealth from all over the world.

Both parties are overdrawing their wealth power, Wang Lanling is a poor boy, and the dog emperor is a rich second generation with a rich family.
