Chapter 160: Soldiers in lieu of relief

The third uncle sent Guo Xing's cousin Bo Dun, a twenty-year-old young man, tall and long, but a little thinner. Guo Xing'a smiled at his cousin very kindly, and then with a look, Fuquan sent people to the teaching team. The Shandong recruits who have just finished military training urgently need a group of soldiers who are newer than them to practice.

With a smile on his face, he sent off the third uncle and his family, and Guo Xing'a summoned all the high-level bannermen in Gu'an, and he was going to have a meeting. On the third pole of the day, in the small hall of the Yamen of Gu'an Zuo, it was full of flag officials, and they didn't know what Guoxinga was going to do, but they knew that they had money to take today. There were several large boxes in front of the Guoxing Ah Gong case, with open lids, full of silver, and everyone would involuntarily peek over there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been back for a few days, and I've been around our Gu'an City a few times, miserable! Our flag people are miserable! It's also the country's economic army, and I can't stand it anymore when I am scolded by a group of people who do small business every day! Where is there such a down-and-out army, bullied by a group of peddlers and pawns every day. One day the court will use us, how can we go to war? Could it be that we are fighting bloody battles on the front line, followed by a group of people who ask for accounts, what is this like! Guo Xing'a knocked on the bowl twice, and then started today's meeting like a chat.

"Lord Counselor, the imperial court is short of money and food, and our people are hard!" Bai Li and the others hurriedly answered, they have to work hard to cry poor now, Guo Xing'a made it clear that he was here to give money, the harder they cried, maybe Guo Xing'a would give more. They also inquired about Guoxing's habits, and the fifth master could only be called in private, and the title on the official face was not vague at all.

"Don't fool me, when the money and food of the court are sufficient, you can pay back the money. I won't name them, some people here have more debts in the Guangdeshun Teahouse than he has a year's worth of money and grain, and you can repay the debts when the money and food are sufficient? Joke! Guo Xing'a's tone and words are teahouse chats, and they can't be on the table at all.

"What the Counsellor said is that there is indeed a bad habit of eating grain, and the money and food alone are not enough for the minions under it to pay off their debts!" Goxinga is the one who gives money, and since he pays the bills, he is right in saying anything.

"There's got to be a way, didn't we? Last year, there were banner people on Shandong Road who starved to death, I don't want such a thing to happen in Gu'an! "This flag man starved to death on the Shandong Road, everyone is talking, but Guo Xing'a really walked around Shandong and didn't see it. Tomin took the risk so hard that he saw it with his own eyes, but Tomin Ah and his subordinates still have the strength to rob people! There is still some way to go before starvation.

"Your Grace, Counselor, have mercy!" Bai Li and the others didn't answer, they didn't want to starve to death, we can't help it, you have money, you can find a way. The money is all here, and you also say that you pity us, so divide the money!

"What's the use of me being merciful or not! The key depends on everyone! As the old saying goes, we have been self-reliant since we entered the Central Plains! So this repayment and eating, you have to rely on the big guys to support themselves. Guo Xinga observed the expressions of the crowd, and it was indeed wonderful.

"What the adults are teaching you a lesson!" Everyone was a little stuck, and they waited for a long time before they could barely deal with it. Guoxing's sentence is really without a beginning or an end, from the beginning of the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the banner people have always been supported by the imperial court, when have they been self-reliant. During the Shunzhi years, the land was divided, but the flag people never planted it for a day! Now these lands have long been sold, and even Guo Xing'a has no land in his own home.

"My lord, our land has been pawned out, and there is no way for the minions to support themselves!" Bai Li said cheekily. But he didn't feel ashamed, the land was gone when he was too grandfather, and he couldn't blame him.

"We are flag people, and there are a few flag people who can farm, don't be funny! If you want to go farming, don't look for me! I don't! "In his previous life, Guo Xing'a was a person who was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains.

"Please also teach us how to support ourselves!" Everyone asked together, everyone was stunned by Guo Xing'a, it's not farming, and everyone has to support themselves, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd!

"Why does the imperial court give us money and food every month! Because we are the economic army of the imperial court, the regular army of the Qing Dynasty! What do soldiers rely on to eat and fight! Self-reliance means that those who are soldiers fight well. In fact, it's similar to farming, but the technology is different, they plow the land, we kill people! Guo Xing'a drank a cup of tea, and Fu Lai hurriedly stepped forward to refill his water.

"That's what your lord said!" Bai Li was a little puzzled, a few days ago, he promised Guo Xing'a, and all the people who stayed behind the flag were also under the command of Guo Xing'a.

"Everyone, see the money in front of me! It's for everyone, and what is it for? The first is to let everyone pay off all the debts, and the second is to give the settling-in allowance to all the bannermen. Guo Xinga deliberately did not explain what the settling-in fee meant.

"Thank you, Lord Senling!" Everyone just heard that Guo Xing'a was going to pay off the debts for everyone, and they were all so excited that they didn't notice the settling-in fee behind.

"Don't rush to thank you, let me finish my sentence. This silver is my Guoxing's private property, and it is interesting enough to give it to you, but I am a very slammering person, and I feel distressed when I give it out for nothing! But let me see that our flag people in Gu'an are starving to death, and I feel even more distressed, so I still have to give it. But there must be a charter for giving money, no, I can't throw the silver here, everyone will rob it, whoever has the most hands will take more! Guo Xing'a walked out from behind the public case and stood in the middle of the lobby.

"Please show me the Consulate!" When everyone heard that they were going to pay for it, their voices became very neat, as if they had been trained in advance.

"I can help everyone once, but I can't give it like this forever, I don't have a lot of money! The imperial court's disaster relief is also to send a wave of disaster relief food, and it is necessary to send seeds so that the people can support themselves. I'm the same, this first wave of silver is my relief food for you, but I still have to give you some seeds, otherwise what will I do in the future! Guo Xing'a walked around and communicated with everyone present with his eyes. Everyone didn't speak, waiting for Goxinga to say what this kind of thing was.

"As I just said, the people can farm the land, but we banner people can't plant the land, and our flag people are soldiers, so the seeds I give you are also soldiers. What do I rely on to make a fortune? Fighting! There is a way that when a cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold, and there is a war to make money! Guo Xing'a was like an old pervert who deceived the little girl, performing hard.

"We are all willing to go to war with the adults!" Everyone didn't know what this "golden taels of gold when the cannon sounded" actually meant, and their golden eyes lit up when they heard it.

"Privately, everyone here is my elders, so how can there be any reason to let the elders go to war!" Guo Xinga smiled and waved his hand.

"Fifth uncle, my nephew is your junior!" The old man in his eighties stood up tremblingly.

"O old nephew! Take a break! Hear me out! Guo Xing'a couldn't laugh or cry, he really forgot that there was such an old nephew!

"To put it irreverently, you are old and young, and it is a little inappropriate to follow me to fight! But you have someone under you! My charter is called "Soldiers for Relief", you let your subordinates serve as soldiers, the original money and food will be yours, and your livelihood will be settled. They followed me, ate my food, took my settling-in money, and their livelihood was settled. Today's silver, let's divide it according to the heads of your subordinates, I will give fifty taels alone, and forty taels are theirs, and each of you can draw ten taels. What do you think? "Replacing relief with soldiers is a rhetoric, and Guoxing Ashi is really spending money to buy people. This money can be spent a lot, and Guo Xing'a actually doesn't want to, but the remaining bannermen in Gu'an City are all subordinate, and Guo Xing'a can't easily move. Guo Xing'a was able to reorganize the leader so smoothly before, because all the people in the leader were his private property, so he could do whatever he wanted. These bannermen are also the private property of everyone here, and Guoxing, who can't be robbed hard, can only pay money to buy them.

"My lord, where's Yu Ding!" Bai Li remembered that Guoxing Ah Ke even wanted Yu Ding.

"I'm counting according to the door, a family of fifty taels, Yu Ding goes with his own Zhengding, I won't give extra!" If Yu Ding is also counted, Guo Xing'a Shao said that he would pay more than 10,000 taels, and he would be reluctant.

"My lord, these minions ...... in the future" The person who asked was embarrassed to explain whether these bannermen would still belong to him in the future! Guo Xing'a turned himself into a bare rod with a sum of silver, which is unbearable. Although they don't command the war, they still have to rely on these bannermen to work for them on weekdays.

"The money and food sent by the court to you, the people belong to me!" Guo Xinga was not ambiguous at all this time, and these provisions should be made clear. Guo Xing'a can actually buy people into his own military camp, and it won't take a month to whitewash their brains of children's books, starlings, and dramas.

"This ......" silver is good, but these people are beginning to hesitate. If you take this money, your people will have nothing to do with them. They are not like the Guoxing family, which is a whole leader, and the cohesion itself is not strong, if they hand over the people, it will be completely over.

"My lord, we are old and useless, but there are still some children in the family, and the children must have a future in the future!" Bai Li understood that silver was Guo Xing'a's bait, and Guo Xing'a had already thought about buying people. And even if Guo Xing'a can't catch fish today, it's hard to guarantee that he won't catch it tomorrow. Guo Xing'a is now acting for flag affairs, and he has the rank of Zheng Sanpin, if he is strong, he can't do anything about him, and the alliance under the city has to be signed if he doesn't sign it, so it's better to get more benefits.

"You report the name and age, as long as they are under the age of thirty, I will arrange for them to join the teaching team, as long as they pass the assessment, they will all be officers above the platoon level, and they will make meritorious contributions in the future, and the court will have their own rewards!" In preparation for a large-scale expansion, Guoxinga urgently needs a large number of grassroots officers, and it is also in need of these children of officials and eunuchs, who can read and write, which is much faster than directly training illiterate officers.

"Your Excellency has thought so much about us! I admit it in vain, I want this silver, and I will report the names of the bannermen and the children of the family to you! "Bai Li has seen through it, and he has let it go, how can I talk about it in the future! Anyway, today's benefits are taken first, and my son's future is also arranged, so it doesn't matter.

With Bai Li being the first to take the lead, everyone else also came out to report the number and began to receive the money one by one, and the scene was very similar to receiving relief. It was the largest sum they had ever received in their lives, but it was also the most costly.

When the men had taken the money and gone away, Cezanne gathered together a list of those who would be escorted to the barracks to-morrow. The harvest was far better than Guo Xing'a imagined, although Zhengding only had 300 people, Yu Ding had more than 500 people, not only to complete the establishment of the second battalion, but also to expand the infantry battalion.

"My lord, the third master is here, saying that he is looking for you in an emergency!" When Guo Xing'a was smiling proudly, a soldier came in to report that Hui Teng hurriedly came to find Guo Xing'a.

"Let him in!" Guo Xing's heart was a little drumming, don't be Hui Teng's reluctance to regret his son! If he asks Botun to go back, it will take a lot of twists and turns for Guo Xing'a to win the hearts of the people.

"Say hello to the third uncle!" Guo Xing'a grinned, trying to calm down Hui Teng first, and then slowly find a way to gag his mouth.

"Old Five! Uncle forgot a big thing, you Ama specially explained to me when he left, I forgot to clean it, and I remembered it when I got home. Hui Teng looked anxious.

"Third uncle, what's the matter! Look at your urgency! "Guo Xing'a has a little drum in his heart, Hui Yang has been dead for more than a year, and he is still dead in Jiangnan, what big deal can he explain to Hui Teng!

"Borrow a step, borrow a step! This is your Amma explained, and I can only tell you alone! Hui Teng's face was mysterious.

"Third uncle, are you sure that it was my Ama who only told me alone!" Guo Xing'a had already begun to suspect that Hui Teng had an assassination attempt to assassinate him, how could Hui Yang know that he must be the one who came back alive.

"Of course, you Ama specially explained it when he left, if he has three longs and two shorts, I must tell the next assistant leader about this!" Whitten explained.

"Oh! You say! Guo Xinga put a little snack at this time.

"Uh......" Although Guo Xing'a stepped aside with him a little, Hui Teng was still a little uneasy when he looked at the room of people.

"Uncle Sai, you take them out first! Fuquan, Fushun stay! Guo Xing'a saw that it was not a closed environment, and Hui Teng couldn't say a word, but if he didn't leave two caring people around, Guo Xing'a was still not at ease, he always suspected that Hui Teng was suspected of assassinating him.

Everyone walked out, and Hui Teng looked at the Fuquan brothers with an uneasy face.

"I eat and sleep, they both follow, don't worry!" Goxinga now did not suspect that Hui Teng was going to assassinate him, and he began to suspect that Hui Teng was plotting a rebellion, which was a bit too cautious.

Hui Teng hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice in Guo Xing's ear: "You Ama left you three gods, Wolong Phoenix and Sima Yi!" ”。
