Chapter 223: Recruiting Folk Husbands (Three Watches, Asking for Votes)
With these 300 families and sophisticated equipment, Lu Hanqiang couldn't set off yet, because this time he had to escort some silver taels for disaster relief, so the logistics of the cart also needed to be prepared. Ω Ω ΩE Small says Ω.
It is said that this time the little fat man appeared under the banner of the prince leading the troops to the border to experience training, and the local governments that passed along the way were to give logistics supplies, and Lu Hanqiang was a disaster relief messenger, although he tried to conceal it as much as possible, there was no post station system, so the food and drink needed should also be provided by the local government.
However, according to the army supply system of the Ming Dynasty, the passing army was counted as a guest army, and the guest army was "died tomorrow, and the flood land was set and then paid." "That is to say, when you arrive in the local area, you have no way to stay for a day, otherwise you will not be able to get the food and materials you need, and the next day when people come, the local civil officials do not treat the guest army very well, and no one will treat an army that only brings disasters to their own place and does not contribute, so it will be difficult in every way, first to count the number of soldiers, you can't make false reports, and the second is to count the soldiers and the soldiers, because the food supply of these two kinds of soldiers is different, and then according to the ticket, only after the ticket is not there, will you bring food, But the grain is basically mildew at the bottom of the reservoir, or simply bran, and then it's time to drive you to the next stop.
If it weren't for this inexplicable calculation method, it would not have been possible for Houjin to enter Kou Gyeonggi, Shanxi Governor Geng Ruqi and the general soldier Zhang Hong with 5,000 people to help, but today they ordered to guard Tongzhou, tomorrow to transfer Changping, and the day after tomorrow to transfer Liangxiang. The garrison is constantly changing, of course, the local government will not supply, the result is that there is no food and salary for three days, the army mutinied, all the officers and soldiers ran back to Shanxi, but did not dare to return to the camp for fear of being beheaded, so they put knives and guns into the pole, which made the strength of the pole up a few steps. After the incident, Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong were arrested and imprisoned, and finally their heads were cut off. Do you say that this is wronged?
Therefore, such a thing must not be left to the hands of men, either their own team will be starved to death, or they will move like snails.
Fortunately, Lu Hanqiang now knows that he is very rich, so he generously has to handle the logistics by himself.
Since he has to handle logistics independently, it is indispensable for the master to accompany him.
But the Ming Dynasty's forced labor has overwhelmed the people, the most important thing is that those officials who handled it in various places were more in the layers of exploitation to fill their own pockets, originally just to contribute people to contribute, but the result is not only for you to contribute, but also for you to bring your own food, not only do you have to prepare your own food, but also you have to pay two taels of silver donations, so the people regard the forced labor as hell, can only flee.
Lu Hanqiang didn't want to disturb the people, nor did he want to harm the people, so he asked Chongzhen's consent and began to recruit masters among the exiles in the capital.
Chongzhen is happy to see this happen, not only can it not harm the people or disturb the people, but at the same time, Lu Hanqiang has recruited 600 young people in the capital, which is to reduce many hidden dangers to public security for the Beijing Division, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.
However, since it is to hire people, it is necessary to pay wages, fortunately, there is a great drought in the north, and the displaced people are everywhere, and the capital is even more overcrowded, and the recruitment of people is pitiful, that is, there is a real supply of food and drink for a month, according to Lu Hanqiang's calculation of one or two five yuan a month, and six hundred people are only two thousand taels a month if they count eating and drinking, this money is older than the original Lu Hanqiang calculated for himself to transport grain into Shanxi Nake Province, so Chongzhen readily agreed.
But since it's a small amount of money, there's no need to spend bits and pieces on this big account, just pay it in advance for you, Lu Aiqing, and when the errand is over, save 10,000 taels for you.
I love Qing, do you still care about this first and late flowers?
So Lu Hanqiang took a promise, and began to take the shopkeeper to the street to recruit people with a sad face.
The first is to have Liu Tao, the commander of the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, to take care of it, and the second is that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, taking away 600 young people, and at the same time giving them the wages on the spot to hand over to their families, so that at least one or two thousand families behind them can be half full, which has absolute benefits to the security of the south of the city, and is also brushing Liu Tao's political achievements.
This time to recruit people, Lu Hanqiang put forward harsh requirements, that is, the height must reach more than 1.7 meters in the future, the second must be strong and have no dark diseases, the third age must be over 18 years old and below 30, and the fourth must have a small family with him. Then thirty blacksmiths and thirty carpenters were recruited.
For Lu Hanqiang's conditions, the front can be figured out, but the back is really wondering, you are a people, everyone wants to be a bachelor, but you have to have a family, if you meet a pole when traveling, they are afraid of their families, so don't you immediately leave things and run away? And if you hire a man, you are pushing a cart to bear the burden, what kind of martial arts and literature do you want, and you also need a blacksmith and carpenter, which makes people even more incomprehensible, when the shopkeeper Zhang asked, Lu Hanqiang smiled and did not answer.
Looking at Lu Hanqiang's unfathomable appearance, he did what he did as a housekeeper, anyway, this time the old lady ordered, but his son tossed, we have money.
The requirements are high, of course, the treatment is also high, the monthly money is one or two or five yuan, and there is no arrears, but it is not given to the people personally, but to his family members in Beijing, the people are provided by Lu Hanqiang for three meals a day, and third, there are martial arts and can write and ink, and the salary is doubled. If it is a blacksmith, the carpenter must be doubled, under the pretext that more than 300 war horses need to be hung with horseshoes, and the cart also needs to be repaired.
At the same time, he promised that the trip may be dangerous, if he dies, he will receive a pension of 20 taels, and if he is injured and disabled, he will be given a subsidy of 10 taels, and try to arrange work.
In fact, according to the malnutrition situation in this era, it is difficult to be more than 1.7 meters tall, but fortunately, at this time in the capital, most of the displaced people have fled from the Shanxi generation.
Now is the time to give you your life for food, with such a generous and suspicious treatment, the recruitment of the people is a mess, even according to Lu Hanqiang's close to harsh conditions, the quota was completed in only one day.
To Lu Hanqiang's surprise, he really got three literate and hyphenated people in this group of people, and more than 100 people who knew some martial arts, and the blacksmiths and carpenters were also found, and they each took them to eat, which made Lu Hanqiang very happy.
Looking at the ragged and yellow-skinned people standing on the street, Lu Hanqiang looked at the end from the beginning to the end, and after confirming that all the products were qualified, he ordered the shopkeeper to give this month's salary to the family members around them in front of them, which made Lu Hanqiang feel the vanity of being called a Buddha of ten thousand families, and also made these people cry bitterly or eager to try.
