Liu Zhang is writing an order on the desk, the wording is very simple and straightforward, so that illiterate people can immediately understand the meaning after listening to others read it, in fact, all the words are the same meaning, join the army, the benefits are great!

The reason why such an order was issued was because yesterday Xun Yu's proposal that the decision to send troops to Jingzhou had been made, and the Yizhou army was about to start a secret transfer. With the transfer of the garrison, Xun Yu is worried that there will be a loophole in Yizhou's defense, although there are garrisons in each county, but the number of garrisons is insufficient, and the combat power is not strong, and there will be no problems in defending the city, but if there is a disaster in Yizhou, the garrison can only stick to the garrison, and cannot send troops to quell the chaos, Yizhou is Liu Zhang's lair, if Yizhou falls into civil strife, it will inevitably have a great impact on Liu Zhang's strength, and even more, if someone takes the opportunity to replace him, he is likely to become homeless when he goes out! In order to prevent accidents, a new army should also be formed in Yizhou to deal with possible accidents on the battlefield.

Liu Zhang also understands this truth, and the territory of Jingzhou is especially above Yizhou, after the capture is bound to require a large number of troops to garrison, the Yizhou crusade army will be contained in Jingzhou and cannot move, at this time, if Dong Zhuo comes to attack, or there is an internal rebellion, how will he respond? For this reason, it is necessary to recruit more soldiers, firstly, to supplement the losses of the attack on Yizhou, and secondly, to maintain a mobile force in hand to rest easy.

Liu Zhang's idea was to divide it into three years, with a total of 100,000 troops. In order to recruit this 100,000 army, Liu Zhang threw out many conditions, both material and spiritual. Looking at the terms and conditions, he couldn't help but wonder: "This is the so-called grasping with both hands, and both hands must be hard?" ”

Materially, Liu Zhang stipulated that if someone in the family was in the army, the military would be exempted from the field tax, and the family would pay taxes from the Yijun rated agricultural tax rate of 20 taxes to 25 taxes and 1, and the rated commercial tax rate of 5 taxes and 2 to 5 taxes (glass, porcelain and other manufacturing processes are extremely secret, and the production workshop implements military management to ensure that the production secrets will not be disclosed, which allows Liu Zhang to monopolize these high-end goods, even if Liu Zhang increases the profit to 500%, Yizhou businessmen are eager to do it, and the sky-high general price does not deter them, but is often in short supply, Once these items are shipped out of Yizhou, the profit is still as high as more than 100%, that is to say, the original penny items, and finally to the hands of customers, the price has soared to more than ten yuan, which makes Liu Zhang, who has already made a lot of money, and makes a fortune in the commercial tax temple, now he is not worried about the problem of money at all, the only thing he is worried about is that he is about to start a war in Jingzhou, I am afraid that commerce and trade will be greatly affected, before the pacification of Jingzhou, these items may only be able to borrow the Guanzhong, but the relationship between Yizhou and Dong Zhuo is bad, The Qinling road is steep, inconvenient transportation, I am afraid that the transaction volume will be greatly reduced, in this case also reduce the business tax of the family members of the soldier, his financial pressure will inevitably be greater), the soldier's salary is also paid from the thick, in order to avoid the matter of embezzlement of military salary, Liu Zhang ordered the implementation of the military salary public, the military salary of soldiers at all levels is listed in detail into a book, for everyone to check at any time, the superior officials shall not deduct the military salary of their subordinates for any reason, unless the war is urgent, otherwise the military salary will be paid on time on the first day of each month, and the military police department will be established in the army to supervise the payment of military salary. In order to reduce corruption as much as possible, Liu Zhang also imitated the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption in later generations and established a clean government yamen to be in charge of anti-corruption), and if soldiers were injured or sacrificed in training and combat, the government could pay them a one-time pension or a monthly pension according to the wishes of their families. Spiritually, Liu Zhang vigorously publicized the glory of serving in the army, publicized the exemplary deeds in the army, and placed the honorary logo engraved with "the backbone of the Han Dynasty" made by the government on the residence of those who had served in the army......

Yaoting took a cup of warm tea, gently pushed the door in, and said softly: "Master, take a cup of tea and rest before you get busy......

Liu Zhang looked up at Yaoting, who was already dressed as a woman, and hurriedly got up and helped her to the case, with a hint of blame, and said, "Didn't you let you have a good rest?" Why did it come out...... "To reveal a little, last night our young master Liu said goodbye to his thirty-four years of virgin career!" It turned out that Liu's mother was worried that he would make jokes after marriage when he was about to get married, which would make the husband and wife discord, so she asked him to take Yaoting as a concubine!

Yaoting heard Liu Zhang's blame, shook her head lightly with some worry, and said, "The slave is fine, the slave and maid see that the master has been busy for almost an hour, so ...... I'm sorry sir, slave...... Isn't it bothering you! Don't be angry, sir, slave and maid will leave......"

Liu Zhang took Yaoting's hand and said, "Silly girl, didn't you change your name to Xianggong?" I'm not blaming you, I'm just afraid that you will start to get busy before your body recovers, what if you fall ill? Let them do these things in the future......"

Only then did Yaoting settle down and said happily: "The slave's body is completely healed, these things have always been done by the slave and maid, and others are not at ease as slaves and maids, and they ...... In addition to these, slaves and maids are also ...... Wouldn't do anything else......"

Liu Zhang touched Yaoting's face and said, "If you don't know how to do anything else, just rest well, you are the master now, Hengfu will be, right?" In the future, it's someone else who will serve you, understand? ”

Yaoting said: "No, no, the slave and maid will always be the master's maidservant, and the slave's greatest wish is to serve the master for the rest of his life, and being able to serve the master is the best Hengfu......"

Liu Zhang knew that there was no way to reverse her concept for a while, so he had to give up, gently hugged Yaoting, and the landlord Lao Cai generally drank a sip of tea that Yao Ting had closed to his mouth (it seems that he is better than the landlord Lao Cai, the lord of Yizhou, alas, the official of the territory!). ), Meimei praised.

Yaoting saw the cloth full of words on the case, and praised: "The master's handwriting is so beautiful...... and then said with a low mood: "But...... The slave doesn't know a word......"

"It's okay, I'll teach you to read in the future!"

"Really?" Yaoting exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, why not start today?"

Yaoting shook her head and said, "The master must have worked hard to write so many words......

Yaoting didn't say that Liu Zhang hadn't noticed it yet, when she mentioned it, Liu Zhang immediately felt a sour feeling all over his body, especially his right hand, and he felt a burst of soft numbness when he wanted to lift it. Alas, with the popularization of computers in later generations, many people have rarely picked up a pen to write, and Liu Zhang has already solved the problem of literacy and writing after crossing, but every time he lifts the soft brush, he still has a feeling of torture, especially for a long time of writing......

Yaoting knew that he was already very tired when she saw Liu Zhang's expression, got up from Liu Zhang's embrace, came behind him and gently kneaded him.

Yaoting blamed distressedly: "Master, tomorrow is the wedding date, why are you still working so hard...... You should have a good rest and wait for the lady to come in the door......"

Liu Zhang heard Yaoting talk about the big wedding, his tone was very calm, and he couldn't help but say: "I'm going to marry another woman tomorrow, Yaoting, aren't you sad?" ”

"Why be upset?" Yaoting asked curiously.

"Master, I am already your husband, but the master did not give you a name, but he wants to marry another woman to enter the door, will you be angry with me?"

Yaoting hurriedly said with trepidation: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid know that they are from a humble background, and they are not worthy of the master, and the master is very happy that the slave and maid will not drive the slave and maid out of the house, how can the slave and the maid dare to compete with the lady for favor?" I never dared to think that one day I would be famous...... "In ancient times, the status of the lady was very noble, and there were countless concubines who were tortured to death by the lady, no wonder Yaoting hurriedly argued, otherwise once it reached the ears of the future lady, she would still have her life?"

Liu Zhang has been in this era for four years, and he is used to seeing groups of male * concubines, but he also understands why Yaoting is so frightened, he knows that this is unpersuadable, so he doesn't say more, but secretly thinks: "Although I can't give you the identity of a wife, and I can't marry you as a famous matchmaker, I promise to treat you as a wife for the rest of my life......"

However, thinking that he was going to get married tomorrow, and he could see the talented woman who had been passed down through the ages, Liu Zhang's mind began to drift again, and he called his own soldiers and asked him to bring the cloth to Xun Yu, and after being transcribed and posted in Yizhou by a special person, he returned to the back house with Yaoting.
