Chapter 156: Asking for a Person

"It's just that recruiting the township group requires additional money and food, and now it's ......"

After understanding his grandfather's plan, Li Yan, who was not very willing, continued to speak up.

However, before he could finish speaking, he stopped.

Because she suddenly remembered that half of the income in the Qingque Salt Farm belonged to their family.

Moreover, what Brother Han once said to his father when he was at Brother Han's house for the first time that day - with money in his hands, Jun Cheng can do some of the things he wants to do, and he doesn't have to worry about increasing the burden on the people under his rule.

These days, the salt produced by the salt works has always been in short supply, no matter how much salt is produced, it will be bought out, and a lot of money and grain will be made.

What has been earned so far, plus the income in the future, is more than enough to support the two hundred township regiments, as long as Grandpa wants to, after a while, he can recruit some more people to continue to form the township regiment.

After thinking of this, Li Yan's mood became a little complicated, who would have thought that Brother Han's original move would block the last excuse for him to continue to stay in Mayi City at this time.

Looking at her daughter who couldn't speak halfway, the smugness in Li Jing's heart was not to mention.

Using that kid's idea to separate him from his own daughter, this feeling akin to letting her shoot herself in the foot is really good.

"At the beginning, Xiaoyou offered the method of making salt, and the old man once asked Xiaoyou what reward he wanted, didn't Xiaoyou say that a good man wants to join the army?

At that time, the matter of the salt farm had not yet been decided, and all kinds of things needed to be busy, so the old man put the matter down.

Today, the salt works have been built and started to produce salt, which can be regarded as stable.

Now, it's time for the old man to cash in on the original reward.

How about this newly recruited 200-person township group, how about being formed and led by Xiaoyou?

It just so happened that this township regiment was stationed in the salt field, and while forming a training township regiment, Xiaoyou could also manage the affairs of the salt field without delay.

I don't know what the little friend thinks?

If I don't think it's okay, I'll transfer an officer from the county soldiers to take charge of this matter, and Xiaoyou will come to the county soldiers for training.

Of course, it is no longer possible to directly form and lead the township regiment as before, but it is necessary to start from a soldier, after all, the county soldier and the township regiment are very different. ”

Li Jing turned his head, looked at Han Cheng on the side, and asked with a smile, feeling more and more comfortable in his heart.

This is a sweet jujube he fed to Han Cheng.

Regardless of whether this kid sees through his mind or not, with this huge sweet jujube who directly leads the township group of 200 people, this kid will have to use it obediently for himself in the future, and he will not resent himself because of this matter.

Moreover, he himself was not very willing for Han Cheng to leave the Qingque Salt Farm.

In the past few days, from the establishment of the Qingque Salt Farm to the current production, he has seen the role that Han Cheng has played in it.

It can be said that without this kid, it would be impossible for the Qingque Salt Farm to quickly reach the scale and state it is today.

It will take at least ten more days.

On weekdays, it is not obvious, but in the case of salt shortage, the time of these ten days suddenly becomes crucial.

There is a gap between the production of a large amount of salt ten days earlier and the production of a large amount of salt ten days later.

Now, with the matter of the township regiment, he not only solved the garrison problem of the Qingque Salt Farm, but also made two hundred more soldiers under his hands, and separated it from his daughter without a trace, so that this kid will not resent himself because of this, but will get closer to himself, and will not affect the production of the salt farm, which is really a good idea to count in one fell swoop.

As for whether the Han family's little friend would refuse, Li Jing didn't think about it at all, in his opinion, as long as he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't refuse the condition he offered.

After all, compared with being a pawn in the county soldiers, it is too tempting to lead a township regiment of 200 people alone.

Although the newly recruited township regiment is far inferior to the county soldiers, it is also an independent organization, and the number of people is also large.

As Li Jing guessed, Han Cheng was not a fool.

After Li Jing said such words, his heart beat violently.

Running a salt farm was just a choice when he first started, and his real ambition was to join the army.

No matter how you can grasp some power in your hands, it is good, so that you can have a certain amount of self-protection ability and room for choice in troubled times, instead of becoming a lamb to be slaughtered.

It is already the summer of the fifth year of the Great Sui Dynasty, and if there are no accidents, according to the established history, the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty will begin in a few years.

Historically, the five years of the Great Cause was the strongest period of the Great Sui, but under the surface of this strength, there were actually many things brewing.

In the midst of strength, decay is bred, just like the later period of the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty.

In troubled times, reasoning is not useless, but the premise is that you need to have a pair of powerful fists, and only then will someone reason with you.

Originally, his idea was to completely solve the matter of the salt shortage, and with some merits, he would find Li Jing to join the army.

With these contributions he has made, as long as he does not do too badly after joining the army, it is impossible for Li Jing not to promote himself.

When you have time, you will be able to have some power of your own step by step.

But he didn't expect that before such an idea could be implemented, a big pie fell from the sky, a pie that was better than he had imagined before.

For a person who has some ideas, the most alluring thing is to be able to obey his command and be under his control.

So what kind of soldiers and horses can best achieve such conditions?

There is no doubt that it is a soldier and horse that he has formed and trained little by little from scratch.

The 800 cavalry led by the champion general on his first expedition, and the 5,000 Danyang soldiers led by Li Ling, who defeated the swift mountain, are all like this.

In the face of such a good thing, it would be strange if Han Cheng was not excited.

After realizing what Li Jing meant, he almost couldn't help but agree to it, but fortunately, at the critical moment, reason prevailed, so he endured this impulse.

Han Cheng, who quickly cleaned up his mood, saluted Li Jing and said, "Jun Cheng is kind, boy...... It's just that the kid has no experience in leading troops, so I'm afraid that he will disappoint the ...... of the county."

Li Jing, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this kid could really refuse such a condition?

But Han Cheng continued: "...... The kid wants to ask the county for someone to help the kid govern and train the township regiment......"
