Money is a good thing, as soon as Lin Ziran left, Boss Wang was busy with the two craftsmen in the workshop, and he was also preparing to temporarily recruit people to modify the musket.

As long as Boss Wang can change his smoothbore guns into rifled guns, and then make a mold to melt and suppress Mini's bullets, Lin Ziran is too lazy to care about how Boss Wang does it.

After finalizing the Minnie rifle, Lin Ziran was in a good mood!

Yesterday evening, after it was preliminarily decided that he would stay in Qingshan Town for a long time, Lin Ziran was thinking about how to go in the future, not to mention the rest, but the Minnie rifle must be made first.

The Minnie rifle has an effective range of three or four hundred meters, while a smoothbore gun, such as this Fuyuan musket, has an effective range of only a few tens of meters, and it is basically useless beyond 100 meters.

With this thing, you will be much more sure of what enemies you will encounter in the future, especially when you encounter officers and soldiers.

Lin Ziran, who was in a good mood, was not so annoying even when he looked at Luo Mazi.

However, Lin Ziran was in a good mood, and Wang Jinqian, who returned to the town guard mansion, was not in a good mood.

Today was originally thinking of sending news of the bandits to Lin Ziran's officers and soldiers, so that they could go to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, but looking at Lin Ziran's posture in the ironsmith workshop today, it is obvious that they will stay for a long time.

What to do?

In the town guard mansion, Wang Jinqian, the fake town guard, pondered and meditated, but he didn't come up with a good way.

A group of subordinates also had sad faces, they obviously didn't expect those 'officers and soldiers' to be so shameless, and they actually planned to stay in Qingshan Town for a long time.

A small miscellaneous soldier or a little bandit next to him said: "Boss, if we don't go directly, this Qingshan Town is gone, and if you stay with these officers and soldiers for a long time, you will be discovered sooner or later!" ”

But there was another humanitarian: "Leaving so directly, didn't we run for nothing, it was not easy to get more than 2,000 yuan, but the result was good, and 2,000 were directly taken away by those officers and soldiers!" ”

"Yes, even if you want to leave, you have to get the money before leaving, let's work harder and get two or three thousand before leaving!"

"Although this Qingshan Town is a little smaller, there is still oil and water, the boss of the iron workshop, I heard that he is very rich, let's go to him to knock a sum first?"

Wang Jinqian said: "The iron workshop can't be moved, and now the officers and soldiers are staring there, we will make a profit in the name of the government, and leave when we get it, who loves to stay in this Qingshan Town!" ”

Wang Jinqian and the others made a decision, and the people in the city were unlucky, not only the people in the town, but even the people outside the city were also unlucky.

Wang Jinqian and the others would say that the autumn tax would be collected in advance, and that the army was short of money to suppress the bandits and that they would have to apportioned the expenses, plus they were bandits in the first place, and they were very ruthless, and they didn't care about the people's livelihood at all, so the speed of making money was very fast.

And Lin Ziran on the side also heard about Wang Jinqian and them, but this is a matter of the local government, Lin Ziran and their identity are just 'officers and soldiers' passing by to suppress bandits, and according to common sense, they can't control the affairs of other people's town guards.

So Lin Ziran didn't see it, and he also thought that he would let them fish it first, and when he left, a yellow finch would come behind and serve it directly.

Now Lin Ziran is more concerned about the Mini rifle and recruitment.

Lin Ziran and they did not leave Qingshan Town, and their main purpose was to use this place to develop and grow.

To put it simply, it is to make money and recruit soldiers.

The gun thing is already in the works.

Money and food, there is already a batch, and Lin Ziran will directly serve the town guard mansion before leaving, so there is no need to worry about it.

This soldier naturally needs to be recruited on the spot.

In the past few days since he came to Qingshan Town, Lin Ziran pretended to send some people to wander outside, saying that he was looking for traces of bandits, but in fact he was on guard in the nearby area to prevent officers and soldiers from other places from coming.

At the same time, Lin Ziran also sent people to the countryside outside the city to recruit people!

The banner raised was naturally the Fifth Patrol Battalion recruiting officers and soldiers, and as for whether it was true or not, those countrymen did not know.

It's a pity that the effect of recruiting people is not good, and after three days, only more than 20 people have been recruited, which is not normal.

Although the population of the town is small, there are a lot of people in the surrounding villages, and this place is not a rich place, and the way out for the children of peasant families is limited.

Lin Ziran personally ran to a recruiting point outside the town to take a look, and suddenly became angry!

Ma Dan, who is engaged in the recruitment standards!

Everything else is still said, but what about military salaries? What about settling-in expenses?

Don't have a dime and still want to recruit people?

Immediately, he said: "Who set the recruitment criteria?"

Seeing that Lin Ziran's expression was not very good, Luo Mazi, who was scolded every day, said carefully: "Adult, it is set by the small, and it is all according to the old rules of the past!" ”

The old rules?

Hearing this, Lin Ziran was also speechless!

Their group is bandits, and they are all bandits who have joined voluntarily, they don't pay salaries on weekdays, they all eat big pots of rice, they eat together, they drink together, and they are hungry together when they have nothing!

Now, although they are holding the banner of the Fifth Patrol Battalion and recruiting people in the name of officers and soldiers, they are still recruiting bandits, and naturally there is no such salary or anything.

The most important thing is that it is not even written on the package of food and accommodation!

In this way, it will be difficult for them to recruit people, and people will see nothing, who will be stupid to sell your life!

It's a pity that if you want to pay salaries, they don't have the money to pay them.

They couldn't even afford to eat the other day.

The 2,000 Hengyuan obtained from Qingshan Town was already used by Lin Ziran as a fund for renovating guns, and most of them were used to purchase fire caps, lead bullets, and gunpowder.

So Lin Ziran, who originally wanted to get angry, endured it stubbornly.

Finally, he whispered a few words to Luo Mazi!

Luo Mazi nodded frequently while listening, and only after listening did he go over and rewrite a recruitment notice.

The requirements for soldiers in this proclamation remain the same, nothing more than being strong in front of them, and in terms of treatment, the settling-in allowance is ten catties of food, and the monthly salary is eight yuan.

But what I didn't write down was that I had to deduct the food expenses, the various expenses for the service, and the other equipment expenses had to be deducted.

In fact, Lin Ziran and they ate and drank together before, and this is actually the amount of money each person spends a month, and sometimes it even exceeds this number.

Therefore, Lin Ziran just changed his method, and there was still no change in essence!

But if you change it slightly, the effect will come out immediately.

As soon as they heard that there was a salary, many children from poor families came over and said that they were going to be soldiers, which Lin Ziran himself did not expect.

What he didn't know was that Wang Jinqian had helped him a lot in this matter, and Wang Jinqian made a lot of money in the name of collecting taxes in advance, apportionment, etc., not only harming the people in the town, but also making the surrounding villages miserable.

As a result, there are even more children from poor families who do not have enough to eat.

In the past ten days, they have recruited nearly 200 people, basically recruiting almost all the people in the neighborhood who are qualified and willing to serve as soldiers and eat food.

"Good!" Lin Ziran saw the final recruitment results, and his heart was very happy!

Now it is a troubled time, having soldiers and guns is the king, after adding two hundred people, there are nearly three hundred and fifty people under his hands, although there are still fewer guns, but there are dozens of spare old guns in the official warehouse in Qingshan Town, which were also taken away by Lin Ziran, and there are enough two hundred guns.

Good things come in pairs, Lin Ziran recruited someone here, and Boss Wang of the ironware workshop also came over, saying that the first batch of guns had been rifled, and by the way, he also brought the mold of the bullets.
