Chapter 580: The diligent Xu Ziyuan
Xu Ziyuan is an expert in deception and an impassioned orator. He can always grasp a person's pain points, and then pull his beard is a few mouths, and every slap can slap people's hearts.
Back then, he only brought a few guards, and found Zhang Jia alone, and with one mouth, he made Zhang Jia fall to Li Ze. In the crucial battle of Yishui River between Li Ze and Zhang Zhongwu, he successfully persuaded Zhang Jia to bring his only remaining family to support.
Although it didn't play a role in the end, Zhang Jia's actions won Li Ze's trust, that is, from that time on, Li Ze began to vigorously help Zhang Jia, step by step to bring Zhang Jia to today's position.
It can be said that Zhang Jia has today's position, Xu Ziyuan has contributed a lot, and Xu Ziyuan relies on his trick kung fu.
Today, Zhang Jia started his speech again.
There is no tirade, and there is no loyalty and patriotism, Xu Ziyuan knows what these prisoners of war are most worried about now, so he only starts from this point.
The short, forceful speech told the POWs that if they worked hard, they would be rewarded.
And here, he has living real-life examples to convince these new prisoners of war.
The earliest group of cantonment sites in Shuozhou were prisoners of war, and these people were also prisoners of war of the Lu Long Army. Now these people have become the people of Xinshuozhou, and they have naturally become the first group of people in Xinshuo to get rich.
There is no great wealth and wealth, but there is no worry about food and clothing, there is a house, land, livestock, mother-in-law, children, and hot kang.
And this, for the people at the bottom, is enough.
The wilting prisoners of war finally became a little angry.
Now, as long as they can see a little bit of hope, they are already very happy.
Xu Ziyuan, who finished his speech or lecture, saw the vitality of these prisoners of war with satisfaction, and he believed that it would not be long before these newly arrived prisoners of war would become another group of people living in Xinshuozhou. These are all strong men!
The young Shuozhou, because of the addition of batch after batch of such new forces, will advance steadily and eventually soar into the sky, becoming a core area like Zhenzhou and Wuyi.
The leaders of the reclamation points who had been waiting on the side for a long time began to lead people. Dozens of cantonment sites, each of which received dozens of prisoners of war.
These prisoners of war would enter these cantonments and work for the government for at least a year, of course, during which they would still have a meager salary, but because they had food and clothing, and there was nothing for them to spend in the cantonments, these salaries were also sufficient.
Of course, after a year, when they have the opportunity to become free people, the salary accumulated during the year will almost return to the government.
The land can be allocated to you for free, because there is a lot of uncultivated land in Xinshuo, but livestock costs money, farm tools cost money, and money to build a house for you! These must be paid for by these people themselves.
Of course, this salary is far from sufficient.
And at this time, Wuwei Qianzhuang will come forward.
They would lend these people a very low interest, an absolute conscience interest, so low that they would be grateful.
But loans also need to be guaranteed, these people have nothing, what should they do?
This is where the supply and marketing cooperatives come forward.
They will sign a purchase contract with these people, and the grain grown by these people, the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks raised by these people will be purchased by the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the price, of course, will be a little lower than the market price, and the low price is definitely not much, just a little bit. And in return, they will provide guarantees for these people to let Wuwei Qian Zhuang lend to these people.
One ring after another, these people were finally locked in the land, and they honestly farmed for the government until they paid off all the loans.
When these people finally feel debt-free and light, and when they are finally happy to have their own houses, land, farm tools, and livestock, they have also been thoroughly assimilated.
When they start working on this land with peace of mind, the government will truly treat them as their own. They will also start to enjoy more discounts, and more upward paths will open up to them.
Let's say, become a warrior.
For example, to become a clerk.
Let's say, become an official at a reclamation site.
In Zhang Jia's army, there are now many original prisoners of war of the Lulong Army, and those who were captured in the battle on the banks of the Yishui River have gone through labor, settlement, assimilation and then to the army, and many of them have become officers because of their ability and military merits.
The more than 2,000 prisoners of war were completely wiped out in a very short period of time, and they were either anxious or full of hope, and followed the officials of the cantonment site to their new life.
"Xu Tingshi, every time I listen to your speech, it makes people's blood run high!" Only at this time did Zhang Jia smile and say: "Looking at the appearance of these people, I was persuaded by you again, we have added a new batch of new people in Shuozhou, and there are still 3,000 people coming over next!" ”
"Every human being is precious." Xu Ziyuan said with a smile: "Li Xiang said that everyone is a source of taxes, and if there is no one, then there is nothing." ”
"Li Xiang has always been far-sighted, and we can only admire it." Zhang Jia said with a smile: "The business is done, I prepared the wine and food, today the two of us have a drink, I haven't seen your person for many days, I haven't even seen you for the New Year, I also went to visit you for the New Year, and I ended up eating a closed door." ”
"Always out there!" Xu Ziyuan said: "Five thousand prisoners of war are to be settled, and as soon as people come, no wealth has been created for us, so we have to eat, drink, and wear, and divide them to those reclamation points, how many people are distributed in each reclamation point?" How many acres of land can be opened in spring? How many new farm tools, livestock, and how many seeds are needed, there is one thing that cannot be considered, and if the arrangement is not good, it will affect the next spring ploughing and then affect the harvest! You, General Zhang, have tens of thousands of troops, and you want to eat, drink, and pay silver, how dare I be half lazy? ”
"We in Shuozhou are now on this condition, and the central government will allocate it." Zhang Jiadao. "Haven't you saved a lot of money in the past two years?"
"These family foundations are prepared for war, and they dare not use them lightly. It's really a battle, but we don't dare to put all our hopes on rear support, we have it in our own hands, so we don't panic. ”
Zhang Jia arched his hand and said: "You are right, Zhang Mou wants to thank you for your hard work in the past two years!" ”
"If you lose the battle, you, the general of the Right Guard, will be unlucky, and I, the Shuozhou Thorn History, will be able to please you?" Xu Ziyuan smiled: "You are stationed in Shuozhou, then we are grasshoppers on a line." ”
Zhang Jia laughed: "Xu Tingshi, your teacher is Zhang Shangshu, when you are fine, ring the wooden bell more, let Xia Shangshu of the household department relax a little when he is on budget, and give us a little more support, and we will be more relaxed." ”
Xu Ziyuan's face was uncertain: "I don't like to hear this." General, when you go to the Wuyi Conference, if everyone else wins the battle, you will lose the battle, do you have the face? ”
"Of course there is no face."
"Yes, every time I go to the Wuyi meeting, Xia Shangshu will announce the taxes paid by each state to the central government, the history of each state, and also explain the financial situation of the state one by one, but those who still need the central government to support them are all disgraced and can't raise their heads! Our Shuozhou has been supported by special funding from the central government for several years, and my face is hot every time, you know? Even Mozhou is self-sufficient this year. We were included in the imperial court system earlier than Mozhou, what is the difference between you and you? ”
"We've got something special here."
"It's a little special, but that's not why we're reaching out." Xu Ziyuan said: "I am a strong one, others can do it, I can do it." You see, in another year, we can completely turn over. At that time, your right military guard will be fully manned, and the establishment of 40,000 people will definitely not be a problem. We're here, but we're going to the Western Regions in the future. ”
Zhang Jia nodded repeatedly.
"So, I don't have time to drink, hurry back to the Assassin Mansion to deal with the accumulated official business, and then I have to go down again. As soon as the year passes, spring will begin before you see it. The whole state had to move, and I also made an appointment with the officials of Wuwei Qianzhuang and the supply and marketing cooperative to discuss the next loan and the supply of various materials. The hand is fast, the hand is slow, Wuwei Qianzhuang is such a big plate, and the supply and marketing cooperatives only have so much spot in their hands, one step slow, I don't know how much time it will drag on! ”
"It seems that I am indeed not a qualified pro-people official, so I can only lead troops to fight." Zhang Jia sighed.
"One article and one martial arts, the palm of the hand and the back of the hand." Xu Ziyuan said: "If you can't win the battle, I can't use these farts I do." This wine, let's save it first, and when the spring ploughing is over, let's have another delicious drink, burn the knife, and don't want that kind of light wine. ”
"This is natural!" Zhang Jia said with a smile.
In a border state like Shuozhou under Li Ze's rule, they all have a team of one article and one martial arts, Zhang Jia and Xu Ziyuan get along tacitly, the two do not interfere with each other, but they support each other, which does make Shuozhou stronger and stronger.
Xu Ziyuan was about to say goodbye, Zhang Jia was also about to return to the barracks, and seeing Xu Ziyuan working so hard, Zhang Jia also felt nervous. During spring ploughing, if there is no war, his army also needs to take turns to help.
When the two of them walked to the high platform, a horse came from afar.
"General, Xu Tingshi, there is an urgent report from the border, and the Tiande army is suddenly withdrawing on a large scale." The knight didn't have time to dismount, and he was already on the horse and said loudly.
