[Ran^Text^Library] A few days later, Li Rijing, holding the exclusive recruitment authority given by the city lord, began to tear up the banner in the area of Changshui Pass and began to recruit troops, preparing to replenish the Eighth Capital.

In the past few days, Wang Gou'er sent out a large number of people, went to several counties near Changshui Pass to post recruitment notices everywhere, those people were specially ordered to get by, and when they arrived at the place, they were gifts and invited guests to eat, and they looked at the local area to do a favor, and the banners of the military and civilian families were hung all over the streets and alleys, and a few gentlemen were invited to set up a special platform in several places to talk about "opening up and not forgetting national defense, and getting rich requires more support for the army", "the army and the people are united as one person, try to see who can be the enemy in the world" and so onSomething like that.

Wang Gou'er also tried all kinds of tricks in order to recruit troops, and the recruitment of soldiers in those counties never improved. However, in a few nearby towns, a large number of people applied for the recruitment as soon as the banner was raised. Wang Gou'er felt strange and sent someone down to investigate.

It turned out that when the army was raised to remove Meng Biao, the chambers of commerce in various towns rose up and sent hundreds of guards to participate in the battle, and later the dark cloud army mixed in, and the merchants were afraid that the loss would be too great, and they had little confidence in the new governor, so they all withdrew.

Now after the victory at Changshui Pass, Li Rijing and his brothers are famous, and many of his soldiers have sold vegetables in nearby towns, and everyone knows them. Now I heard that Wang Er Mazi, Li San, and Zhao Liu, who sold vegetables at the beginning, have all become ten captains, and everyone is looking forward to following them as soldiers, getting an errand and doing it, so as to glorify their ancestors.

As a result, the vegetable farmers and the guys in the shops and inns in a large number of towns joined the army one after another under the influence of the seniors who sold vegetables, so that almost no one worked in the town, and no one even fried the vegetables in several hotels. The chambers of commerce had to hire men from various towns and counties in the distance overnight to work with high salaries. For a while, almost all the hotels and inns in the town near Changshuiguan advertised that they hired foreign chefs with high salaries, but everyone went in and tasted it, and the taste was not right. Of course not, it's not a local dish anymore!

And because of the war between the two parties, the long water road was cut off, and many chambers of commerce could not receive the goods, needless to say, they had to lay off their own employees.

Relying on the vast number of chambers of commerce and vegetable farmers, Li Rijing's reputation slowly spread, and the nearby county town learned that there was a very heroic lieutenant Li in Changshuiguan, and more importantly, he was also valued by the city lord.

That's when the number of men was full.

Li Rijing didn't have much to do every day, and he was idle to watch Wang Gou'er, Meng Ersil, Yun Changtian and a few of them take a group of veterans to pull people around to be soldiers.

On that day, the scene when the city lord summoned him to discuss the matter is vivid.

At that time, the city lord was surrounded by several civil and military generals, the two civil ministers were all in long robes and jade crowns, advancing and retreating to a certain extent, and the three military generals were either heroic or leopard-headed and round-eyed, and at first glance they were the daily henchmen of the city lord.

The city lord still looked kind, and when he saw him come in, he smiled and said, "O Rijing, come on, come on, sit down and say sit down." ”

Although Li Rijing has been working under the city lord for a while, this is the first time he has seen this formation, so he bowed his hand with a panicked face, and he didn't know where to sit after the salute, and waited until the city lord's soldiers moved the chair behind him, but he didn't see Li Rijing turn around, so he had to step forward and pat him on the shoulder.

Li Rijing's face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly leaned back in the chair before he settled down.

The city lord and several civil and military officers were amused and laughed when they saw Li Rijing's clumsy appearance, and even the pro-soldiers on the side couldn't help but laugh together. Li Rijing's face was full of embarrassment when he laughed, so he had to echo "hehe".
