Chapter 47

Put up the recruiting flag, and there will be people who eat food.

As soon as the notice for recruiting volunteers drafted by Qian Lei and copied by others was written, it was posted by the officials, and the officials and idlers who carried the gongs also carried the big gongs and shouted all over the city along the streets and alleys of Jiangyin City.

"Boom!"

As soon as the gong sounded, an idle man shouted, this idle man with a waist knife was the person who had stayed in front of the yamen to take refuge in Zhu Mingzhong, and like others, the nearly two hundred young and strong idlers in front of the yamen were kept as personal soldiers, and the matter of recruiting people to shout along the street naturally fell on them.

"Build a captive to steal my Yandu in the front, change my Han family clothes in the back, and slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in my Jiangyin, today I Jiangyin Shimin have to restore the Han family's clothes, in order to build a captive, Kuang Zheng rivers and mountains, for my big tomorrow, under the order of the country's surname, General Zhu specially recruited the people to help the Northern Expedition, and gave a monthly salary of one or two eight coins, three buckets of rice......"

The salary of two or eight cents is just five cents higher than the salary of the green battalion soldiers recruited by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is not much, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty recruited hundreds of thousands of green battalions after entering the customs, and relied on the green battalion and the plundering to seize the world of the Ming Dynasty. And the reason why the green battalion soldiers are willing to be driven by foreign races is because of the military salary that can be used for the whole family for two or three dollars.

And now, after a fire, Jiangyin City, although most of Jiangyin City has been saved, after all, there is still a small half of the city destroyed in the fire. Tens of thousands of people have lost their homes, and for those who have lost their livelihoods, this two-to-eight yuan military salary has saved their urgency and made the recruitment of soldiers extremely smooth. In just one or two hours, two thousand, five or six hundred people in the city applied for recruitment in the area of the burned and ruined Fuxue.

When those civilians of different ages were recruited, in the county office, Zhu Mingzhong was looking at Qian Lei with a smile, only to see that he felt cold in his heart, and even his words became a little stammering.

"General, general, this, the grain and grass are small, and the villain has prepared a full six thousand stones, enough for the army to eat for half a year......"

As if inviting an attack, Qian Lei hurriedly told Zhu Mingzhong about his "merits" for this day, and now he knows what it means to hide a knife in a smile and what it means to kill without seeing blood.

Yesterday, after Qian Lei confessed, Zhu Mingzhong asked him to write a self-confession, the paper self-confession looked inconspicuous, but with the paper self-confession, whether it was Daming's side or Qingyu's place, no matter who it was, it would cut him anyway.

is only Zhu Mingzhong, who still keeps his head, and the reason why he keeps his head is because his head is still useful, if it is one, he is useless...... People, what are you most afraid of? It's useless! As long as there is still use value, then this head can be saved.

Now for Qian Lei, he has only one thought, that is, to tell the other party that he is useful, and he is useful!

"Oh. Six thousand stone grain, old money, you have worked hard......"

Squinting and smiling at Qian Lei, Zhu Mingzhong pointed to the crab on the table and said.

"Come, old money, eat crabs!"

Pointing to the crabs on the table, Zhu Mingzhong was all smiling,

"This crab is a Wutang crab, but it is the best among crabs."

Pointing to the steamed red hairy crab on the table, Zhu Mingzhong didn't move his chopsticks, the crab was bought from the market. Whether it is the best of the legendary crabs, he does not know, but it is certain that this is certainly not an artificially bred crab.

Crab, the best of crabs.

Looking at the crabs on the plate, Qian Lei's eyes flashed with a strange look, so much so that in the end, a cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.

This, now, is it time to eat crabs?

It's only June now, don't you have to wait until around August 15 to eat crabs?

June, August...... As a scholar, although Qian Lei seems to be honest in appearance, he has the same "delicate" heart as other readers, otherwise, how can he become a master.

A plate of crabs made Qian Lei think a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill in his back, could it be that the general wanted to remind him and remind him through this...... Is the time yet? When did it not arrive? Also, it's not the time to kill him Qian Lei!

"Big, sir......"

Crying with a sad face, Qian Lei's knees were weak, and when he saw that tears were about to be squeezed out of his eyes, the general's words came from his ears again.

"Old money, do you know what I don't like the most?"

I wiped my hands with a handkerchief and took a sip of wine, drinking liquor in the summer is really uncomfortable, and when I have time in the future, I must brew some beer and drink a few glasses of cold wine in the summer......

Thinking so in his heart, looking at Qian Lei's pitiful appearance, Zhu Mingzhong deliberately sneered.

"What I don't like the most is people like you, what the hell don't pretend to be, but what are you pretending to be pitiful here, old money, you say, if I want to kill you, do you think you can live until now?"

Zhu Mingzhong obviously didn't expect that according to the habits of later generations, inviting people to eat crabs would cause so many thoughts from others, he was just that this person was soft-boned at that time. So he wiped his mouth and looked at him with a sneer.

"I want to cut off your head, you can't keep ten heads, does it make sense for you to pretend to be pitiful?"

"General, general......"

Cold sweat kept bubbling from Qian Lei's back, although he didn't know what a companion was, but now he knew what it meant to give life and death to others.

"Don't stammer, pretend to be pitiful, it's useless for you to leave me alone!"

Staring at Qian Lei's appearance, Zhu Mingzhong was very curious, obviously a man of one meter eight, looking at the five big and three thick, why are the bones so soft, how can this person ......

Ay!

Could it be that the backbone of this Han man was really cut off by the Manchu Qing Dynasty? The ones who survived were all soft bones?

"You know, why didn't I kill you?"

"This ......"

Faced with this question, Qian Lei first cautiously raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Mingzhong, and then said tentatively.

"Big, the adults keep the villain, this dog's life, there is still some use......"

"Hmph, I thought you didn't know!"

Staring at Qian Lei, standing up, Zhu Mingzhong looked at him who pretended to be pitiful, when he said those words yesterday, on the one hand, he hated those people, and on the other hand, he didn't hate Qian Lei, who was two-faced and three-faced, but in the end, Zhu Mingzhong still didn't kill him, the reason couldn't be simpler - there was a place to use him.

"Since you know that I still have a place for you, why the hell is pitiful, do you want to live?"

As soon as this question reached Qian Lei's ears, he hurriedly nodded in response.

"Think, think, the villain naturally wants to ......"

"Think, since you want to, be this master for Lao Tzu, so that Lao Tzu can't do without you, otherwise, maybe he will really cut you that day!"

Snorted, regardless of the different color of Qian Lei's face, Zhu Mingzhong said to him.

"Old Qian, it's just right, there is really one thing today, let you give Lao Tzu an idea, do you know that the country surnamed Ye has just won a big victory......"
