Li Lizheng's eldest son also transported the 100 stone grain, and then Zhang Shihua asked the remaining ten archers to move the grain, and the 100 stone grain was pulled back and forth twice in three carts, and more than a dozen people from the Inspection Department and Li Lizheng's family moved it for an hour before they moved the grain into the grain warehouse of the Inspection Division.
Zhang Shihua looked at the grain pile in the granary, and he also had confidence in his heart, the day after tomorrow, Brother Donkey would be able to bring the county's allocation, and tomorrow Zhang Shihua will be ready to officially start recruiting.
Zhang Shihua also brought a hundred taels of silver when he came, and now it has only cost less than ten taels, it is said that even if Zhang Shihua does not let Brother Donkey go to the county to ask for money, the money he brings with him is about the same, but Zhang Shihua will not be stupid enough to dig out his own pocket if he can use public funds.
Moreover, Zhang Shihua asked Brother Donkey to go to the county not only to ask for money, but more importantly, to approve a batch of weapons from the county.
But if it is used to build weapons, Zhang Shihua's money is not enough at all, at present, a good spear costs seven or eight hundred yuan, and a good knife costs three or four taels of silver, as for the armor, Zhang Shihua's money is estimated to be enough to buy a suit of armor, you must know who has a suit of armor now, which can be used as a family heirloom.
Moreover, in the Yuan Dynasty, because of the very strict control of weapons, if you don't have an official status, the price of buying weapons will have to be doubled.
So these people's weapons Zhang Shihua can only get them from the county, Zhang Shihua this time in addition to asking Brother Donkey to allocate two hundred taels of silver from the county, he also asked Brother Donkey to tell his cheap dad and asked his dad to get him a batch of weapons.
In fact, it brought him sixty spears, plus ten good knives, and as for the armor, Zhang Shihua didn't dare to think about it at all.
With the power of their Zhang family in the county, it is almost the same to get him these spears and swords.
However, the most important thing for Zhang Shihua now is to recruit all the people first, and it is not difficult to do the others if there are people.
The next day, the sun rose in the east as usual, and the people of the town began their day as usual.
However, the townspeople have not been busy for long today, when they hear a young man shouting outside: Everyone is now going to the big stage at the entrance of the town in the south, there is a big event ready to be announced, everyone come quickly.
What a big thing, it's not time to pay taxes, Zhou Tie thought.
Zhou Tie is the son of a blacksmith in the town, because his father Lao Zhou is a blacksmith Lao Zhou, so his name is Tie.
Zhou Tie finished breakfast as usual today, and his father went to the front shop, and not long after Zhou Tie opened the door, he heard someone shouting outside, asking everyone to go to the big stage in the south of Zhenkou, where there was something important to say.
Because there was still someone to watch the shop, his father asked him to see what was going on. When Zhou Tie arrived at the stage, he saw that there were already many people waiting there.
Zhou Tie also saw two people sitting on the stage, one was Li Lizheng from their town, and the other was a young official.
This young official is Zhang Shihua, Zhang Shihua and Li Li are making such a big move today, just to let all the townspeople know that he is going to recruit people during his inspection.
Seeing that the people below were almost here, Li Lizheng said to Zhang Shihua: My lord, let's start, right?
Zhang Shihua also arched his hand to Li Lizheng and said: Then it's annoying.
Then the two of them left their seats, and first Li Lizheng walked in front of the townspeople and shouted twice to silence them.
Then he said to the townspeople: I called the villagers early this morning, in fact, there is a great thing to announce, that is, the town's inspection department is now recruiting archers.
Recruiting archers, Zhou Tie said in a low voice: This is also a good thing, in fact, not only Zhou Tie said this, but the townspeople below also thought so, aren't the archers working for the court for nothing, oh it's not for nothing, at least take care of the food, but this is also a good thing, who will fool you.
Seeing where the townspeople below were discussing, a few young students shouted: Li Zheng This is the good thing you said, if you don't need to say it anymore, our family is still busy.
Li Lizheng was not annoyed when he heard this: but shouted loudly Everyone be quiet, after listening to me, you will know whether the old man lied to you or not.
When it was quiet again, Li Lizheng said again: This time it is different from before, this time the inspection department is recruiting archers, not only the food is all-inclusive, but also two hundred yuan per month, you can clearly hear that it is two hundred copper coins, not the treasure money with a vain head.
Hearing Li Lizheng's words, the townspeople chattered louder; Two hundred dollars a month, really give so much, oh my God, this good thing will fall on our heads, there will be no conspiracy.
Li Lizheng saw this scene and expected that the townspeople would not believe it, in fact, let alone the townspeople, he didn't believe it when he heard Zhang Shihua say this yesterday, but when they saw Erniu today, they completely believed Zhang Shihua.
So Li Lizheng quieted down the townspeople again, and then said to the villagers: Now our town's inspector Lord Zhang is here, if you don't believe it, listen to Lord Zhang tell you a few words.
Zhang Shihua also walked to the front of the stage at this time and said to the townspeople: Fellow villagers, I am the new inspector of this town, and my surname is Zhang.
I know that everyone felt a little unbelieving when they heard this, and wondered how the pie could fall from the sky for no reason.
But I assure you that what Li Lizheng just said is true, and if you don't believe me as an outsider, then let a few of my archers from the Inspection Division tell you.
After speaking, he let the two Niu people who were waiting under the stage get on the stage.
Some of the townspeople who saw Er Niu and the others said: Isn't that the second Niu of the Li family and the second child of the Wang family, but the third child of the Liu family over there, they seem to be working in the Inspection Department now, is what Li Zheng said true.
Thinking of this, the townspeople below all quieted down, and they all looked at Xian Erniu and the others.
Erniu and a few of them seem to be speaking in front of so many people for the first time, and several old men are twisting and pinching like little girls.
After a long while, Li Erniu said to the townspeople below with a red face: What Li Zheng and Master Zhang said is true, several of us have already received the money, if you don't believe it, ask my mother, I have already given the money to my mother, everyone rest assured, this is all true.
When Erniu finished speaking, several other young men on the stage also echoed him, Erniu is right, don't worry, Master Zhang won't lie to us, and there is even a man who didn't have time to put the money home, and took the money out of his arms directly.
Seeing this scene, the townspeople completely believed it, and Zhou Tie, who was also under the stage, saw this scene, thought about the father and mother at home, gritted his teeth, and thought in his heart that if he could do it, he must sign up, if he could be selected as a father, he would not have to work so hard anymore, and the old lady would be able to change into a new dress.
So Zhou Tie shouted below: The inspector doesn't know what conditions are for recruiting archers this time.
Hearing the following question, Zhang Shihua smiled and waved his hand to let Erniu and the others go down and said: There are three conditions, the first condition is that the inspection department this time as long as the age is between eighteen and thirty years old, do not be old, and do not want to be old.
The second condition is that you must be honest and obedient when you take my money, and you are not allowed to cheat and cheat on me when the time comes.
The third condition is that the official recruited archers this time to fight bandits, those who are timid should not come, the official said ugly things in front, if you enter my inspection department, if you are injured when you are a bandit, the officer will take money to see a doctor, and if you are disabled, the officer will take money to support you, and if you die, the official will give your family ten taels of silver as a pension, but if you run away and escape, you will live in a prison cell for the rest of your life.
After Zhang Shihua's three conditions were finished, the enthusiasm of the townspeople below did not fade, after all, in the current world, few people can die, a serious illness or a natural disaster can ruin a family.
Therefore, the deaths and injuries that Zhang Shihua said did not scare the townspeople away, but some townspeople asked, when and where will you recruit people, and how many people will you recruit this time.
I can't wait to see that.
So Zhang Shihua said: This afternoon, the official is recruiting people in the inspection department, and this time the official only needs forty people, and he doesn't want to recruit when it's full.
After Zhang Shihua finished speaking, Li Lizheng said Okay, okay, now that you all know it, you will all disperse, if you want to go, go to the inspection department to sign up this afternoon, okay, disperse, disperse.
