Chapter 160: Cash-for-Work

For the release of grain, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, the rebel army of all dynasties and generations has made this move, and the third uncle not only did not object, but praised Lu Shi's proposal, thinking that Lu Shi was a manifestation of great achievements, but also put forward a little suggestion according to the current situation, after all, the grain was distributed in vain, and the third uncle, the miser, still couldn't bear it, and tried to find a way to get rid of his reputation, but also to get back some of his old capital.

Lu Shi said solemnly: "Third uncle, please speak." ”

"Military division, now we have captured a lot, tomorrow the military division will have to buy a lot, there must be more materials, the most important thing is that in the camp outside the city, we still have three or four thousand wounded, this time plus the non-muddy, the stars and so on, then more, they have to be carried back to the mountain, so we need a lot of manpower."

Lu Shi was reminded by the third uncle that he had a headache at that time, he really didn't expect this thing, this time there were a lot of seizures, plus the purchases, and those wounded who couldn't give up, it was really a shortage of manpower, especially in this era of insufficient capacity, it was really not ordinary difficult to move this huge county back to the cottage.

Lu Shi was busy asking this conscientious old man for a solution.

"It's better for us to only put food on the head of those who are old and weak, and for those who have physical strength, we will use the grain to hire them to help carry the materials and wounded for us, and the important ones such as gold and silver will be brought by our own people, and those iron, cloth, silk, knives and guns are heavy, as well as the medicinal materials and daily necessities that are about to be purchased, we will use the hired people to carry them, and we will send soldiers to watch the detention, so that it can be faster."

Seeing Lu Shi's delighted face, the third uncle said more boldly: "I think, the carriage shop in the county town gives more freight, you can not limit the single grain, you can also pay with cloth or gold and silver, we can give a bucket of rice every day (60 catties of appearance) for those who have a wheelbarrow, and one or a half buckets a day for those who have a wheelbarrow, and one or two taels of silver or one stone of rice for those who have a large livestock carriage, what do you think?" ”

"It's still the third uncle's thoughtfulness." Lu Shiyi patted his head and nodded in agreement, this is called cash-for-work, which not only solves the shortage of cottage porters, but also solves everyone's livelihood, and removes the heart of getting something for nothing.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the third uncle hurriedly said: "I won't stay any longer, now organize people to start packing and sorting things, and strive to start shipping overnight, so that I can buy some time." Fortunately, Geng Kui's brother Chen Ce helped, otherwise I would really be busy to death. ”

In fact, in Lu Shi's heart, in this rice fat war, his biggest gain is to get Geng Kui, a steady general, and Chen Ce, a cultural person, if the cottage wants to develop, it must have talents who can be independent in the future, and in this era, talents are the most rare.

Most of the military men are rude and unknown, shouting and shouting and killing, but there are not many people who really have the ability to govern the army, and a few people who have a brush in the late Ming Dynasty are now in the court and Chongzhen, and it is impossible for them to recover the gas of Wang Ba, if they really meet those few cattle people, don't accept the qi of Wang Ba first, it must be to send military merits and wealth to others.

And the administrative talents who govern the local area are even more rare, not to mention that there are not many scholars in this era, and among these few people, they are also dead recited, and they are empty talk, saying that they must be Confucius and Mencius, and they must say that they have no ideas and propositions of their own, and it is even more impossible for those who are willing to join the rebel army.

After all, hundreds of years of orthodoxy have poisoned scholars, and they take learning literature and martial arts and selling the emperor's family as their lifelong goal, and they have no intention of asking for the people's lives at all. It is the shepherd herding sheep, in their eyes, the small people are just sheep, livestock, not people at all, and joining the pole that is not a person is definitely regarded as a humiliation of identity and a great shame of insulting ancestors.

So if you look at the rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, can there be a literati figure appearing? There are three of Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, but they are just a warlock, a child, such a villain liar, he was appointed by Li Zicheng as a military advisor and a prime minister.

There is also a Li Yan, but that is also the result of being forced to be helpless, just to the current Chen Ce and Zhao Xing, they are really talented, and they have seen through the reality, so they sincerely follow the rebels, but Li Yan was finally killed by two small toothpicks with jealousy.

Therefore, the failure of Li Zicheng and others is not only a failure in the fact that it has always been the leading idea of committing crimes, but there is no way to do this idea, they want to settle down, but there is no talent for governance, and it is in vain if they get it, they can only eat and drink the Ming family and continue to flow. In the end, it was fought for more than ten years, that is, Xi'an and Beijing, and was beaten back to its original form again by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the powerful townsmen from all over the country.

Now that he has decided to join the irreversible torrent of history, he must create a living space for himself and the people who follow him, and he must not become the second Li Zicheng, and what this living space needs most is talents, talents who are in charge of all aspects, so it is necessary to recruit talents at all costs, whether it is cheating or abduction.

The base area, yes, in the future, I want to learn from Mao Taizu, not to be a homeless person like Li Zicheng, but to build a base area that belongs to me with peace of mind, implement a series of policies in my own heart in the base area, vigorously develop my own internal economic system, slowly abandon plunder, and rely on my own hematopoiesis to strengthen myself. In order to really struggle to survive in this Ming Dynasty, the new king.

Just as he was thinking about it, Guo Tianxing's loud voice exploded in his ears: "Sir, the relief has been finalized, what should I do with the rest of the money?" ”

Lu Shi, who came back to his senses, hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, our main task is to spend most of the silver money and start purchasing on a large scale, and all the useful and temporarily useless cottages will be swept away." ”

Looking at Chunlan who was standing behind him with a look of shopping eagerness, Lu Shi smiled and said: "Chunlan sister, don't be idle, tomorrow I will give you sisters a day off with the camp, and each of you will share some money, mainly to buy some of your women's supplies for the sisters and aunts in the cottage, this is not something that our men can do for you." ”

When Chunlan heard this, she turned around and ran back to the camp with a cheer, and informed the sisters of the good news, every woman loves to buy, this is nature, which dynasty and generation are so new.

At this time, Geng Kui whispered; "Strategist, can you give each of the brothers a hundred and ten cents, and let them take turns to buy some things in the market? This also gives them a feel for the benefits of victory? Raise your morale? ”

"This method is good, the new king." Lu Shi said appreciatively, now all cottages are still in the ** period, the battlefield looting and seizure must be attributed to the warehouse of the big boss, and the reserves are made in advance for the future when there is no income, and the appeasement of the land is also the meat and bones of the big boss, and the rest of the soup and water are given to the brothers to satisfy their hunger, and this is also to take out a part of it to honor their own team leader, and then it is their own, it is just some rags, and there is nothing valuable for the new king. Therefore, the poles of each cottage are still abjectly poor, and there is no new king of their own personal property.

Geng Kui's proposal is just to feel the heart of his own military household, if it weren't for Geng Kui's reminder, Guo Tianxing would never have thought of it, and Lu Shi's so-called joining Woniu Mountain, now counting, he has not been on Woniu Mountain since the day he joined, and he doesn't know the rules and conditions in the cottage Xinchuang Wang.

"In this way, you will go to the third uncle later, withdraw some copper coins according to the number of people, one hundred wen per person, and double it as appropriate for the captain of the squad and the captain, and then give the brothers two hours of leave in batches, but they must be in the squad as a unit, and they must not go out alone so as not to disturb the people and the new king. At the same time, you replace Zhao Dahai's brother and let Zhao Dahai rest and rest, and you will take a part of the cavalry to carefully maintain the order, step up supervision, and strictly deal with those who violate military discipline. ”

"Master Xie is sympathetic, so I'll go and arrange for the new king." After Geng Kui finished speaking, he also arranged to go to the new king in a hurry.

Zhao Xing saw the advantages of this matter, and stepped forward in time to suggest; "This method is very good, it is good for improving the soldier's enthusiasm for fighting, and I think he should become the new king of rules."

Lu Shi nodded in agreement, but the specific method still has to wait for the time to slowly improve the new king in the future.

"Strategist, I have something to ask the new king." Zhao Xing stepped forward again and respectfully said to King Xinchuang.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "Is there anything you can't say directly?" What to ask for advice, everyone's affairs are discussed and handled, the new king. ”

Lu Shi is very depressed now, because of his several performances, everyone has become dependent on themselves, and slowly maintain their own words, which loses their independence, which is not good, very dangerous, he must change this situation, let everyone speak freely, as the so-called one person is short of wisdom, three people are long in wisdom, and it is necessary to check the new king.

Zhao Xing just smiled, and still said respectfully: "Military advisor, when the warehouse is opened and the grain is released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole city, maybe the people outside the city who have been scraped by the government will also flock to it, and those people who have no way to live will inevitably ask to follow us up the mountain, how do you think this matter is handled?" After saying that, there was already an eager gaze in his eyes, and even Guo Tianxing was happily waiting for Lu Shi to promise the new king.

This is a big deal, and I really have to arrange the new king.

The poles around the country to grow the team all rely on coercion, no one to vote and force them to go bankrupt to vote, not to mention the initiative to come to the door, the news of the opening of the warehouse to release grain, to ensure that Woniu Mountain to fight for a good reputation of benevolence and righteousness, those who are desperate must flock to it, if this is in peacetime, it is indeed a good opportunity for their own development and growth, but, with Zhang Yuan's bad things, the official army and the village Yong will definitely flock to it, then they really can't afford to be the new king.

Besides, when I decided to join Woniu Mountain, I thought about the strategy, this is the most barren place in northern Shaanxi, and it is close to the nine-sided official and military forces, so it can't develop and grow at all, and when the time comes, I want to persuade everyone to go south with me to create a base in the Weinan Plain, and with a large group of old and young people to migrate, not to mention that the goal is too big to find the officials and soldiers to bravely encircle and suppress, it is this large group of old and weak women and children who stagger forward may drag themselves down the new king.

Thinking of this, Lu Shi shook his head and said helplessly: "We only accept single young people this time, and only give relief to those people, not the new king." "Implement a series of policies in your heart, vigorously develop your own internal economic system, slowly abandon plunder, and rely on your own hematopoiesis to strengthen yourself. In order to really struggle to survive in this Ming Dynasty, the new king.
