Wen Hui took Zhao Fan's appointment, walked out happily, and recruited the Evil Tiger Battalion, as for how to recruit, Zhao Fan didn't care.

Now what makes Zhao Fan more troubled is the problem of prisoners, a combat force of more than 12,000 people, pressing nearly 30,000 prisoners, which makes all the generals feel very stressed.

If something happens, it will be a lot of fun, although the 30,000 captives are now unarmed and are held in various places in the city, but in the event of an accident, even 30,000 sheep will be enough trouble, let alone people.

These people are different from the 20,000 people brought by Ma Jianying, when the 20,000 people came, they were brought by Ma Jianying, no matter what aspect it was easier to arrange, Zhao Fan only needed to control Ma Jianying alone.

But these people are different, their military commander has been killed, without the restraint of the commander, it is difficult for them to collectively integrate into the collective of the Shouwang Army, and it is also difficult to control the overall situation, even if they are all disrupted and reincorporated into the current Shouwang Army, it is very likely to become a situation where the guest is strong and the main is weak.

In this regard, Kong Wei and the generals in the army have a relatively unified opinion, isn't it tens of thousands of rebels? If it really doesn't work, just put them all to death, haven't they always been dealt with like this before?

But Zhao Fan and Du Rangneng did not agree with the method of killing prisoners.

First of all, these 30,000 people are 30,000 young and strong, if they can stay, not to mention how much help they can bring to Shouwangjun, even if they are put in the people, it is also a very considerable labor force, which can restore the vitality of the Luoshan region faster.

And once a prisoner is killed, not to mention how much impact it has on his reputation, who will dare to surrender on the battlefield in the future? Since surrender is also death, it is better to delay it before death, isn't it in vain to increase your troubles?

But the security problems brought by these 30,000 people are real, and Zhao Fan will not have a good way for a while.

"Lord Wang, if you really can't arrange it, and you don't want to put all these people to death, then you might as well meet someone first." Du Rangneng looked at Zhao Fan, who was frowning, and said with a smile.

"Oh? Who? Zhao Fan was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some doubts.

"Zhang Ji!" Du Rangneng tapped the table with his knuckles and said softly.

Zhao Fan patted his forehead when he heard this, and said helplessly, "Yes, how did I forget this guy, let's go, let's go meet him." ”

……

On the other side, Zhang Ji, who had been locked up in a cell for several days, was extremely depressed and angry at the moment.

He Zhang Ji was forgotten!

When he was just arrested, he originally wanted to learn the style of the ancients and make a show of being unyielding, but who knew that it had been several days since he was arrested, and no one had come to interrogate him.

On the first day he was arrested, Zhang Ji said very domineeringly, "Even if I, Zhang Ji, starve to death, even if I am killed from here, I will never eat a bite of your food!" ”

After that, he knocked over his rice bowl, sat in the cell and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the soldiers who came to deliver the food only looked at him strangely, and then left on his own, leaving the stunned Zhang Ji to starve alone.

In this way, Zhang Ji, who no one paid attention to, after being hungry twice, soon picked up the rice bowl and sighed in the contempt of the soldiers who delivered the rice, "It's so fragrant!" ”

……

"Zhang Ji, come out, our prince wants to see you."

When Zhang Ji was bored squatting on the ground and drawing circles, the guard soldier who usually brought him food suddenly walked in and opened the prison door.

"Will he see me if he wants to see me? I'm not going! Zhang Ji continued his own affairs and said without raising his head.

"Okay, you stay stay, I'll go tell the prince that you don't want to see him." The guard rolled his eyes and prepared to lock the cell door again.

"Oh, don't, I'm joking, joking!" Zhang Ji saw that the situation was wrong, and quickly jumped up from the ground and grabbed the cell door with one hand.

"It's really a cheap ......" The guard soldier looked like he had known this, glared at Zhang Ji with disdain, let go of the cell door and led him to the garrison.

Walking on the way to the garrison mansion, Zhang Ji found that many soldiers of the Shouwang Army were busy going back and forth in the city, some were helping people repair houses, some were helping people chop wood and carry water, and from time to time on the side of the road, a group of soldiers with red armbands walked by, while inspecting the security situation in the city, while constantly greeting the people in the city, and the people seemed to enjoy this atmosphere, happily responding to every soldier they knew.

"I said, little brother, you Shou Wangjun still help people repair houses, carry water and chop wood? How much does it cost? Is it that the army has insufficient food and salary, so I sent you out to get some subsidies? ”

Zhang Ji patted the guard soldier on the shoulder and said sarcastically.

"You know the! The prince said, our Shouwang Army is the army of the common people, and it is supposed to help the people work, what kind of money do you charge! Besides, an ordinary soldier in our Shouwang Army has nearly twenty taels of silver a year for his military salary plus subsidy, and doing this kind of miscellaneous work to subsidize his military salary is a loss to you. ”

The guard soldier stopped, glanced at Zhang Ji with disdain, and said coldly.

Twenty taels of silver? He's talking about silver?

Now Zhang Ji is really a little surprised, twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, in this era of war and chaos, the purchasing power of silver is much more stable than copper money, and this annual salary of twenty taels, or ordinary soldiers, such wealthy, this Shouwang is crazy?

You must know that the annual salary of the soldiers of the Great Qi Army is less than five copper coins, which is equivalent to about two taels of silver, and they may not be able to get it......

And this Shouwang is quite powerful in buying people's hearts, the people's army, it is right to help the people work, as soon as these words come out, coupled with the soldiers' physical practice, how much impact it has on the people, Zhang Ji can completely imagine.

Not only did the people really recognize the Shouwang Army, but the soldiers of the Shouwang Army also enjoyed the feeling of being recognized and respected in this process, and then worked harder to implement this concept, and finally formed a virtuous circle, endlessly.

And the soldiers with a high salary, naturally will not easily do anything to oppress the people, bully the market, clever robbery, over time, the people's senses of the Shouwang Army will become abnormal recognition, and even in the face of danger, it is likely to continue to live under the rule of the Shouwang Army, desperate to support the Shouwang Army.

After all, compared to what Shou Wangjun did, the way other feudal towns treated the people was simply inhumane.

It is no wonder that the city of Shaanzhou was pacified so quickly, everything in the city was in order, and it was much more prosperous than when it was managed.

It seems that he and others are too underestimating King Shou......
