(Thank you Angus0423, the dog who loves rats, and the eternal V sky for the precious monthly pass, thank you.) ）

A week has passed, and the number of applicants has reached more than 8,000, and after testing, more than 6,000 people have passed the test, and these people have been able to enter the Jiangning camp.

At this speed, Su Tiancheng was far from expecting.

He no longer needs to go to Dingxing County, Lu Shanji entrusted someone to bring a letter, and the young people of Dingxing County also began to appear in the registration team, not only that, but also people from nearby counties rushed over.

At this rate, in half a month, the recruitment task will definitely be completed.

The progress was too fast, and there were some things that Su Tiancheng was not ready for and was caught off guard.

The recruited sergeants must leave Gaoyang County in batches, and it is impossible to go together, this matter seems simple, but in fact it is very complicated, and it needs to be arranged and arranged.

Den.

Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji were both sitting, their interest was very high, and their spirits were very good.

Su Tiancheng looked at the two old men and slowly spoke.

"Lord Sun, Lord Lu, the progress of recruiting sergeants, the juniors are a little unexpected, and the aftermath that was originally considered must be handled in advance."

"Oh, what has Lord Su thought about?"

"There are two main things, first, the problem of the families of the soldiers, and second, the placement of the families of the recruited sergeants."

Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji didn't quite understand what Su Tiancheng meant, in their opinion, this is not something that the Jiangning camp needs to consider, since it is a voluntary participation in the Jiangning camp, the affairs of the family must be arranged by themselves, the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion, not the tun army. Belongs to the typical professional soldiers.

"The sergeants who signed up for the enlistment are all young and strong, and after they leave, there must be difficulties at home, so it is a matter of family. It must be arranged and arranged, these young wives and children can follow to Jiangning County, they are the families of the army, but the parents cannot follow, they are old and frail, if they can't be placed well, it is unreasonable. ”

Sun Chengzong looked at Lu Shanji and couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Su. Throughout the ages, recruiting sergeants, it is impossible to think of this, just say that these young and strong, voluntarily entered the Jiangning camp, the military salary is very high, according to the meaning of Lord Su, their families. Follow to Jiangning County, what a scale of relocation this is. It's not simple, when you arrive in Jiangning County, you need to be resettled, 10,000 sergeants, with their families, at least 50,000 people. In addition, their parents are not necessarily this son, and the recruitment of the Jiangning camp this time has made it very clear that only one person can be recruited per family. It is not allowed for a father and brother to enter the Jiangning camp at the same time. ”

"What the adults said is reasonable, but the Jiangning camp has such rules, it is not easy for parents to raise their children, with hard work, they have entered the barracks, they have to fight at any time, they may be injured or killed at any time, and the pension afterwards is an afterthought."

"Oh, what did Lord Su think."

"In my consideration, each sergeant who enters the Jiangning camp needs ten taels of silver, of which five taels of silver will be given to their parents, and five taels of silver will be used for the relocation of their families.

Lu Shanji stood up.

"Master Su, according to your calculation method, you need at least more than 100,000 taels of silver."

"That's true, the juniors came to the capital this time, and they didn't bring much silver, which can maintain the cost of recruiting sergeants to Jiangning County, so the juniors considered going to the capital tomorrow and borrowing 100,000 taels of silver."

Sun Chengzong insisted on going to the capital with Su Tiancheng, 100,000 taels of silver, the amount is too big, but it is not so easy to borrow, he and Su Tiancheng went to the capital together, and with this old face, help talk, maybe it can have an effect.

Two days later, Su Tiancheng and Sun Chengzong arrived in the capital again.

The two went their separate ways.

Sun Chengzong went directly to the officials of the household department, and Su Tiancheng went directly to Xu Eryi of the military department.

As soon as Xu Er heard about Su Tiancheng's request, he was a little inexplicable.

"Kun Yuan, I also know a little about recruiting sergeants, but this is the first time I've heard of Jiangning Ying's way, such treatment is too generous, of course, I'm not against you doing this, as long as you have money, it's okay to do this."

"The meaning of the teacher, I understand, I have also seriously considered it, this move may cause some impact, the key is to other guard sergeants, has a lot of impact, it is not a secret, this time to enlist the sergeants, among them are military households, I have no special objection, mainly considering the quality of the sergeants, as for the 100,000 taels of silver, it must be spent, this is the rule of the Jiangning battalion, treat everyone equally, besides, this is the first large-scale recruitment of sergeants in the Jiangning battalion, the first time must be done, The fame of the Jiangning battalion has gone out, and it will be much easier to recruit sergeants in the future. ”

Xu Er nodded.

"The courage of the Jiangning battalion is well known to the whole dynasty, and it is understandable that such a move has been made, and the other guards are red-eyed and helpless, and the military department has a number, but I can only help you talk about this matter of borrowing silver, 100,000 taels of silver, the amount is a bit huge, I can't call the shots."

"With the support of the teacher, I will rest assured, the measures of the Jiangning battalion must be supported by the military department, and when the decision was made, I thought about it, but this time the recruitment of sergeants was too fast, which was beyond my expectations, many things, I didn't have time to prepare, and in desperation, I thought of borrowing silver."

"I am responsible for the things supported by the Ministry of War, Lord Zhang is very optimistic about the Jiangning Battalion, these days, when it comes to the affairs of the Jiangning Battalion, it is already a little partial, I believe that all the decisions made by the Jiangning Battalion, Lord Zhang is supportive, in this regard, you don't have to worry, you can do things with peace of mind."

Su Tiancheng nodded, the support of the Ministry of War, including the support of the cabinet, will not be too much of a problem, according to popular words, the Jiangning battalion is already the ace army of the Ming Dynasty, there are some special policies, there is nothing remarkable, besides, the Jiangning battalion did not cost a tael of silver from the imperial court, and no guard post can do this.

"Kun Yuan, the matter of borrowing silver, my suggestion, you don't look for anyone else, just go to Lord Wen, if Lord Wen agrees, the matter will be solved."

"But this little thing, I still have some reluctance to trouble Lord Wen."

"Kun Yuan, you can't think like this, Lord Wen is the head of the cabinet, the leader of the hundred officials of the imperial court, if you have the opportunity, you still have to visit, besides, Lord Wen is your mentor, and he is also very optimistic about you."

Su Tiancheng felt surprised, such words, coming out of Xu Eryi's mouth, were too strange, who didn't know what to say, Xu Eryi had a stubborn temper and refused to give in to the powerful.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng didn't speak, Xu Eryi also knew what Su Tiancheng was thinking, and he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Kun Yuan, I'm afraid you think, I said such a thing, it's a little strange, it's not strange, I've talked to you many times, my thoughts have also changed, everything is focused on the overall situation, this sentence, it's simple to say, it's really done, it's not simple, I always knew before, I always felt that my point of view was correct, so I had to fight for reason, we must achieve the goal, now it seems that such a way of thinking is still too narrow, I haven't been to the military department for a long time, but I have been exposed to a lot of things, There are many difficult things, and even compromises, not to mention that I, the military department, is the Lord Shangshu, and sometimes, it is also very helpless, if everyone does things according to their own point of view, then the military department will not be able to coordinate. ”

"These thoughts of the teacher are completely correct, and I am truly taught."

"Hehe, don't say that, it's me who is really taught, and your many understandings make me truly teachable. By the way, this time the Jiangning battalion recruited sergeants, and I heard that Lord Sun and Lord Lu were very supportive. ”

"That's true, if it weren't for the strong support of the two adults, the recruitment would not have gone so smoothly, and the grandchildren of the two adults would have entered the Jiangning camp."

Back at the official post, Sun Chengzong had already returned, with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, there must be good news."

"Hehe, this time, the old man did not disgrace his mission, and met Lord Hou of the Ministry of Shangshu, Lord Hou heard that it was a matter of Jiang Ningying, and expressed his support, but this matter of borrowing silver has a certain amount, if it is less than 50,000 taels of silver, Lord Hou can decide directly, but 100,000 taels of silver needs the approval of the cabinet."

"The younger generation has also thought about it, go directly to Lord Wen, this 100,000 taels of silver, you must borrow it."

"Well, the old man thinks that there is no big problem in borrowing silver, in fact, a large part of the silver left in this treasury is from Jiangning County, that is, it is allocated to the Jiangning camp 100,000 taels of silver, which is not a big deal, by the way, the old man also heard that this time the Jiangning battalion exterminated the liukou, and the military department put forward a proposal to reward the Jiangning battalion with 50,000 taels of silver."

"This reward, the younger generation hasn't thought about it yet."

"Hehe, I should think, I killed eighty-seven Tartars, it is said that the reward of silver cannot reach 50,000 taels, but the imperial court proposed such a reward number, which is full of deep meaning, you should experience it, you are the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion, you can't just pay attention to the affairs of Jiangning County and the Jiangning battalion, but also pay more attention to other things, this time you go to find Lord Wen, it is a good opportunity, the old man thinks that the future development of the Jiangning battalion depends more on the attitude of the imperial court."

"What the lord said is that the juniors are going to visit Lord Wen immediately, and the matter of borrowing money cannot be delayed, the juniors have always been in Jiangning County, far away from the capital, and they know very little about the things in the imperial court."

Sun Chengzong's face was full of smiles.

"Well, you can just go to visit Lord Wen, and the old man won't make trouble."

Seeing Sun Chengzong's smile, Su Tiancheng suddenly felt that many things, including some things within the imperial court, Sun Chengzong knew the Tao and watched coldly. (To be continued.) )
