Qin Dongyang continued: "Since the list was released a year ago, there are more than 11,700 people who have signed up now, we are planning to recruit two battalions, and there are more than 1,000 people, it can be said that one out of ten people is selected, I took a look, and the people who signed up are all self-righteous and powerful men in their prime, they are all good candidates, if they have sufficient financial resources, I really want to accept them all." ”

Everyone nodded and smiled, it is true, the signboard of Nan'an Tuanlian has been launched, and it is a famous gold-lettered signboard nearby.

Although the nearby towns are very wealthy, all the commercial houses and factories have to work workers, and some places earn more than group training. However, the hard work is not under the group training, and additional taxes have to be paid, but the income of the group training is a real amount in hand, food and accommodation are all-inclusive, and the welfare treatment is good, which is more cost-effective than recruiting workers.

Moreover, the regiment has fought two battles, and there are not many deaths, which shows that Nan Anhou is not the kind of character who disregards human life and exchanges the lives of his subordinates for credit.

In addition, the pension is quite generous, and it can also be seen that Nan'an Hou treats people kindly, and when he first levied martial arts, it was about three or four to one enrollment ratio, and by this time, he had already chosen one out of more than ten people.

And the people who came to sign up generally also knew the selection criteria for martial arts, age, height, physical fitness, and whether they were literate or not, all of them had hard bars, and those who were unqualified did not come to lose this ugliness, so as long as they were basically qualified candidates for registration, Qin Dongyang looked regretful, of course he wanted them, but a group practice levied more than 10,000 strong men, I am afraid that Lin Douyao will directly fly to the chapter, and then the court will ask Xu Zixian what he wants.

"It's easy to do." Xu Zi thought about it first and said, "Choose the best and stay, and leave the quota of 3,000 people first." ”

"Prince?" Although Qin Dong wanted to, he didn't want Xu Zi to take the risk first, so he was a little anxious at the moment.

"The prince intends to be in Qizhou." Fang Shaoqun was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "There are about 4,000 places in the upper, middle and lower three villages in Qizhou, and they are slowly eliminated and replaced, and it is always possible to change 2,000 to 3,000 people, and the quota of 3,000 people is about the same." ”

Xu Zixian was a little shocked and a little helpless.

As a traveler, he has slowly managed his own business to the point where he is now, and it is as if he is not proud and conceited.

But this Fang Shaoqun is really wise and close to the demon, what he thinks carefully, he can often see it at a glance, and he can point to the center of gravity almost without hesitation.

Xu Zixian is indeed planning to do so, he is the same knowledge of Qizhou, the defense envoy, and the commander of Shangzhai, the first of these three positions is the fictitious position of the additional official, Qizhou is the military state under the Fuzhou Prefecture, generally speaking, this kind of inferior military state is not worthy of the auxiliary position such as Zhitong Judgment Zhou Cheng, and the same knowledge of Qizhou is just a court appeasement, it sounds good, after all, according to Xu Zixian's identity and merits, directly know what is not qualified for the military state?

The defense envoy is the real job, that is, all the military distribution in the military state is under control, as for the command of Shangzhai, it is a specific military position, similar to the command of an army, of course, it is the box army system, it may be that the imperial court from the Son of Heaven to Han Zhong feel that Xu Zixian is good at training, and he will not be able to toss the big waves when he hands over the box army of Qizhou Sanzhai, and it is possible that Xu Zixian will really be asked to solve the big trouble of the Qishan thieves, so he will do it easily and hand over the Sanzhai Xiang army to Xu Zixian.

The command of Shangzhai is not only responsible for one battalion in Shangzhai, but also two battalions and several capitals in Zhongzhai, and four battalions in Xiazhai are all under the direct command of Xu Zixian.

With this military position, Xu Zixian has direct command power, and after getting the official seal and tiger talisman, Xu Zixian's first consideration is not to appease the army's hearts and soldiers, but to consider how to remove most of the Xiang army and replace them with soldiers trained by the Nan'an regiment.

If the more than 1,600 people on the shore are not trained by Xu Zixian himself, but 1,600 Xiang Army, no, even if it is 6,100 Xiang Army, under the impact of thousands of strong bandits, the result can only be a complete defeat.

The preparation of the Pu family is not inadequate, more than 3,700 people, in addition to the strong generals of the Pu family, there are also a large number of rangers and bandits, all of whom are ruthless and brave.

Most of the sources of the Xiang army are bankrupt and landless peasants, some displaced people, loafers in the city, etc., generally in order to stabilize the place, the Great Wei opened up recruitment every few years, because the treatment is not too bad, after entering the Xiang army, it can support the family, so it can always recruit a large number of such people into the camp.

After entering the camp, most of them were used as logistics, local defense, and public security supplements for the forbidden army, and more often they were used as labor service.

The Xiang army on Fujian Road can only be used by the city defense battalion of Fuzhou, because it is stationed in the city of Fuyi, the control is relatively strict, and the treatment and equipment are good, so it can also be worthy of a war.

In addition to the city defense battalion in Fuzhou, the city defense battalions of the rest of the military states are all waste, and when the city of Zhangzhou was broken, the earliest one to run was the garrison of the Xiangjun city defense battalion.

The other is Zheng Liqi's theft hunting camp, because he often has to go out to collect thieves and has a lot of actual combat experience, Zheng Liqi has strict control, and it can be regarded as a team that can be pulled out.

The rest of the city defense battalion and the river defense battalion, even if they are good people who have stayed in it for a long time, have become slippery and tired people, and they definitely do not have the ability to fight, but the ability to cope with training and perfunctory officials is more powerful than the other.

"There are also loyal and brave people in this generation, right?" Li Yi said: "In the last battle of Jiangtan, the Xiang army of the Jiangfang Battalion still contributed. ”

"Half the effort." Xu Zixian said with a smile: "This generation wants to give enough benefits, and you have to be motivated at all times, even if you do, you can't help but be timid, your heart is weak, and you can't shout on the battle array, but your steps refuse to move, and if you have a slight disadvantage, you have to be careful that they turn their heads and run away." These slippery people have long been soaked in, and they can't get oil and salt at all. If I want to train these people into loyal, brave and reliable soldiers, and if I successfully train one battalion, I can train ten battalions of soldiers...... Why bother? ”

Li Yi bowed his hand, indicating that he had understood.

Qin Dongyang said: "There are thousands of things, I think it is most important to recruit martial soldiers first......

Fu Qian said: "Dafang car already has three prototypes, just wait for the prince to determine the large-scale manufacturing, how to get the money, how to mix the craftsman, how to divide it after it is made, how to spin, how to collect, how to divide the profits, these things also have to be decided by the prince as soon as possible......

Xu Zi first gently pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and sure enough, as the master, he couldn't come out lightly, so he really didn't know where to start.

Xu Zi looked at Fang Shaoqun first, but the other party was not humble, and said: "Although there are many things for the prince, if you order them to go down, they will start to do their own things first, and the prince will choose the most important thing to do first...... What is the fundamental matter, of course, is the foundation of the prince's life. ”

What is the foundation of Xu Zixian's life, why do you need to say more?

Xu Zixian glanced at Fang Shaoqun with appreciative eyes, such a strategist is very kind of to his temperament, the kind of strategist who spends and spits and talks halfway, he has to be sharp when he speaks, and the strategist who asks you to guess is really impatient, fortunately, Fang Shaoqun doesn't have that kind of problem, what to say, straightforward and honest, some people may not be able to pull their faces, they feel that they are being taught a lesson, but Xu Zixian feels very good.

Fang Shaoqun felt a little moved in his heart, he also spoke like this style in Liu Zhiyuan's place, and the result was quite unpopular, Liu Zhiyuan relied on his identity and status, and although the other party Shaoqun made undisguised suggestions, although he agreed, every time he felt that he was offended by Fang Shaoqun and lost face in front of everyone.

Later, when Fang Shaoqun was asked to speak, Liu Zhiyuan simply screened everyone and asked alone, in this way, people knew that Fang Shaoqun was superior in wisdom, but Liu Zhiyuan's distrust and alienation were also quite obvious, and even outsiders knew that although Mr. Xiao Fang of Liu's Mansion was relied on, he was not a confidant of Dashen.

This is also the reason why Fang Shaoqun was able to get out and leave easily after the big coup, and the rest of the staff, including Jin Shiqi, even if they were not killed on the spot, most of them would be arrested and imprisoned afterwards, and the end would not be very good.

"Of course, my foundation is to train the ...... of the martial arts regiment" Xu Zixian said to everyone: "Changshi Premier Li Gong's affairs, Kong Xuanping's general financial planning, repairing ships, expediting the process, spinning wheels, wait for me to come back from Fuzhou to see." The immigrants bought all kinds of farm tools and cotton seeds in advance, and Fu Muzhi talked to Yang Shizhi and Zhang Mingliang about this matter...... There is no hurry to take office, there are still more than ten days of work, and I will wait until I determine the water camp soldiers first. The matter of the literacy class, first select the gentleman who will teach, ask Dr. Wu to come up with some people, don't be too smart, martial arts learning, don't have to study the scriptures and meanings deeply, based on literacy, and then be able to fight the golden drum method, the most important thing is the Ming Zhongyi Avenue, take a trip to the Ming Hall for a while, and report my meaning to Dr. Wu to know......"

Li Yi, Kong He, Fu Qian, Chen Daojian and others got up one after another and agreed.

Qin Dongyang also got up and saluted, and the matter of recruiting a new regiment to train martial arts could finally be carried out, and he was also very happy in his heart.

After Fu Qian sat down, he said with a smile: "In March, it is estimated that the group training donation can collect about 35,000 guan, the port river money and the treasury money, and this month can be credited with 20,000 guan, plus the 30,000 guan that the prince brought back from Jingshi, and more than 10,000 guan's family fund, this time we still have a lot of money." ”

Kong He sneered: "The fixed expenses of the regimental training soldiers are 6,000 guan, and the repair of large and small ships will cost more than 10,000 guan this month, and the labor cost in the port reservoir area will be 4,000 guan, and the manufacturing spinning wheel will be widened, at least 30,000 guan, and the cotton seed farm tools and resettlement fees will be at least 30,000 guan in the first batch, and the half of the Changwen Marquis Mansion will also be 15,000 guan, and then at least more than 10,000 guan per month, and the previous budget is five or six thousand guan per month, which is of course not enough." In addition, the purchase of robes, boots and hats, settling-in allowances, weapons, bows and arrows for newly recruited soldiers...... Bounteous? Fu Muzhi, what are you doing to dream of Qingqiu......"

Fu Qian was sprayed with saliva by Kong He, and could only smile helplessly.

Fortunately, this kind of scene is not only seen by many people, but also experienced more.

I have to say that Xu Zi first used Kong He to manage the account book, which is really the best use of people. Kong and stubborn, a bit extreme, quite cautious, and simply meticulous and terrible due to his character.

All the accounts are clear and clear, and the purpose, source, and destination of any sum of money are clearly marked when allocating funds.
