Chapter 89 Notices and Warrants

On the third day, notices were posted in more than a dozen villages within a radius of tens of miles. Many immigrants gathered around and listened to the literates' interpretations aloud.

"Master Li, this is the head of this Luoning Society...... You ask what Luoning Club is, I don't know, it is estimated that it is like an official yamen. Haidong Company belongs to Luoning Society. ”

"Haidong Island is the name of this island in the future."

"What is the company? This is said to be a big family with no surname and many villages! The manager is the patriarch. The manager led everyone to open up the wasteland and weave, deal with civil affairs, and regularly report to the owner of Luoning for instructions......"

"Village Chief Lin is the manager! The head of our village, Qiu, is just the director of the mining department, two levels lower! ”

"How can Village Chief Qiu compare with Village Chief Lin? The village chief of Nalin is a great showman, and he has been the master of the county minister. Our village chief Qiu is just literate and reasonable. ”

"It says that the company is in charge of everything, but it only collects 20% of the agricultural tax, and there is no miscellaneous tax......"

"There really aren't any miscellaneous taxes? Is there such a good thing? ”

"If that were the case, wouldn't we be able to get eighty percent of the harvest? I remember that in the year when the Great Song Dynasty paid the lightest tax, I could only get seventy percent of my own land, and in other years, I could get five or six percent at most. When I arrived in Mengyuan, most of the year's harvest was levied, and it was difficult to make a living. ”

"Since the announcement, there is also the big seal of the owner, of course it is not fake!"

"General Li is not only mighty, but also benevolent!"

"Oh, it's true...... God bless Master Li with a long life! ”

"Look, what kind of security corps is the notice here......

"The security regiment is the elite soldiers under Master Li, and it is said that they will be stationed here in the future to protect the people and defend against life."

"Look at this, Zhang Yong of Linshui Village has been appointed as the deputy of this security regiment, and he has ascended to the sky in one step!"

"What? Isn't that the big man Zhang from Linshui Village? Unexpectedly, as soon as Master Li came, he promoted him to be the deputy of the regiment! But he's really good at ......."

"If he doesn't have the ability, can Master Li make him the deputy of this group? Let me tell you, although Zhang Yong is only a leader in the Great Song Army, he is not simple. ”

"Five years ago, in the battle of Liyang, Zhang Yong wore a forty-pound step armor and went forward bravely, killing the head of a hundred Mongolian households and a few real Tartars. According to the military merits, at least one will be awarded. But Liyang was defeated, he scolded Shangguan for being incompetent, and he didn't get any officials. ”

"Oh? How do you know? ”

"How do I know? I was also here in the first battle of Liyang, and I was still in the same camp as Zhang Yong. It seems that General Li is quite knowledgeable, and he promoted Zhang Yong as soon as he came. There are also recruits on these notices, and I'm going too! ”

"The security corps has to recruit 500 recruits, fifteen to thirty-five years old, and they are in good health. Start with two dollars per quarter, and the food is full! I'm going too! ”

"Is it really that good? I'm going too! ”

"Look here, it's "Haidong Jianlu". Thirty-six in total! ”

"What Haidong Jianlu? Read it aloud and listen to it! ”

"Of course, it's the law of Haidong."

"Article 1: Whoever kills dies, steals and pays hundreds, and robbers become slaves."

If there is a dispute between the company and the security team, the newspaper owner will arbitrate. ”

…………

In one day, more than 5,000 immigrants all knew the contents of the announcement.

More than 1,800 Jurchen immigrants regard Li Luo as the "wolf master" and will of course firmly support Li Luo's policy.

More than 3,600 Han Chinese immigrants were also satisfied with the announcement. If there is really no order, wouldn't everyone be in danger? Even if there is no birth, something big will happen sooner or later.

They need the government, they need officials. They just hope that the government and officials will be more honest and satisfied.

If there is really no official government and royal law, they themselves will be afraid. Because order and rules cannot be guaranteed, and respect and humility etiquette cannot be guaranteed, then it is not chaotic, and it must not be lawless?

The "Haidong Brief Law" is a good law for the immigrant people to "reduce taxes and lenienize the government". They were all under the rule of Meng Yuan, who was "harsh and fiercer than a tiger, and a few people were not slaves", and in comparison, Li Luo's "Haidong Brief Law" was simply a great benevolent government.

As for the fact that the per capita land should not exceed 12 acres, there is no objection. Twelve acres of land per capita cannot be planted at all. A family of five is sixty acres, but at most forty or fifty acres can be planted.

Therefore, as soon as announcements such as "Haidong Brief Law" were introduced, everyone celebrated and cheered. Almost everyone praised Li Luo for his benevolence and love for the people, and even said that Li Luo was a star from the sky.

The few people who understand secretly praise Li Luo for his cleverness.

The only thing that many people don't think is that Master Li is too kind to Wufu, and the notice of the security regiment says that recruits can get two military salaries per quarter when they join the army, and they are full of food, vegetables and meat, two sets of clothes in spring and autumn a year, and there will be rewards once they go out.

It is also necessary to organize laborers to help military families cultivate for five days.

In this way, a new pawn has at least a dozen yuan of income a year, which is almost enough to cover the annual income of most families.

And once he becomes an old pawn, the military salary is even more considerable, and he can fully support the family.

For a while, many young people went to the temporary headquarters of the security regiment to sign up, which suddenly made the new head of the regiment Hugu busy.

Zhang Yong, who was appointed by Li Luo as the deputy of the regiment, was also receiving the young men who were recruited as "security guards" at the temporary regiment headquarters at this time, and the whole person looked energetic.

In the Great Song Army for ten years, with his ability, he should have been able to command a battalion a long time ago, even the Marquis of Du Yu could do it. But the officialdom is corrupt, and it is difficult to tolerate upright people, he has hated Shangguan, and he can only be aggrieved, how much anger he has suffered!

But when General Li tried his skills once, he was promoted, and he was immediately appointed to the post of "regimental deputy", and he was well encouraged, which was quite important. It made him suddenly have the heart of "the one who dies for his confidant".

This security regiment commanded 1,000 soldiers, which was equivalent to the number of two battalions of the Song army. Then he, the regimental deputy, is only big and not small compared to the battalion commander.

This time, new "security guards" were recruited, and the heads of the newly formed security regiments have arrived. The head of the regiment, Hu Gu, the supervisor of the regiment, Yang Xu, the chief planner, Zhu Jaw, and the deputy Zhang Yong of the regiment checked together.

The military salary of the security regiment is high, but it is not easy to get, and it is impossible to make up the number of people who want to make up for it.

In the next three days, a total of more than 800 young Han people who wanted to join the army came to sign up, but only 400 people were screened. More than four hundred others were eliminated.

Of the more than 3,600 Han immigrants, 400 good soldiers can be selected, which is already a very high percentage. The main reason is that the immigrant group is mainly young and strong.

Among the four hundred, there were dozens of veterans of the Song army. After Hu Gu and the others were assessed, they introduced several of the outstanding ones to Li Luo and let Li Luo decide.

A total of three people were introduced to Li Luo. One is named Song Ju, who was originally a scout chief of the Song army, proficient in military outposts, and good at riding and shooting.

The second is called Fang Huan, who was once a crossbow commander of the Song army, not only familiar with the bed crossbow, but also familiar with the divine arm bow, and even... Stone cannon machine!

The bed crossbow, the divine arm bow, and the stone cannon machine are the three major weapons of the Song army, and they also have a certain degree of secrecy. Fang Huan was familiar with these three kinds of long-range attack weapons, and he was definitely a highly valuable technical soldier.

The third person's name is Guan Er, who was the gun captain of the Song Dynasty naval warship, operating iron artillery, rockets, and explosive cans.

Firearms have been used on the warships of the Song Army for nearly 100 years, but they are very primitive, there is no standardized mature firearms, and the power is limited, so there is no large-scale application.

Even now, although the Yuan Army's naval division is equipped with artillery, its main combat weapons are still the slap rod and bow crossbow, because these weapons are more reliable than the original artillery.

The primitive artillery was not powerful enough, its accuracy was poor, and it had a low hit rate on a rocking battleship, so it could only be used as a secondary weapon.

Artillery really became the main battle weapon at sea, and it was not until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty more than a hundred years later in history that it took more than 100 years later. Zheng He's treasure ships in the West were equipped with a large number of the most advanced second-generation artillery pieces of the time.

Although artillery is not the main battle weapon today, it is still a useful naval technician.

These three people are very useful, and they can be regarded as treasures.

Li Luo chatted with the three of them one by one for a while, and felt that the three of them were not bad in terms of sexual ability, so he quickly made a decision and began to write warrants.

"The security regiment has set up a new crossbow fleet, a reconnaissance team, and a firearms team! Each team has only fifty people, and it forms four independent detachments with the already established cavalry team, which is directly under the regimental headquarters! ”

"With Song Ju as the reconnaissance captain, Fang Huan as the crossbow captain, and Guan Er as the firearms captain!"

Of course, this firearm must have been used in its original form for the time being.

Li Luo wrote again: "The reconnaissance team is not equipped with horses for the time being, and only trains former enemy scouts; The crossbow machine battalion can be equipped with two bed crossbows, twenty divine arm bows, and two stone cannon machines, which are manufactured by Fang Huan's guide craftsmen. ”

"The firearms team is not equipped with troops for the time being, and Guan Er cooperates with craftsmen to make rockets, iron artillery, and assault guns. When the firearms are ready, the number of troops will be allocated. ”

Writing here, Li Luo suddenly found that the "craftsman office" mentioned twice in the warrant was just an empty shelf, and there was not even a craftsman except for the appointed director.

The "craftsman's office" is extremely important, and now it is necessary to put up a shelf, otherwise how can we make things?
