Chapter 154: POV: Zhou Jun Recruits
Liu Ruyi has already led people to set up a platform in the open space, he has been following his master for a long time, and he is simply familiar with this kind of thing, how much wood should be purchased, how big a platform should be arranged, how much silver should be prepared, and what kind of slogans and banners should be prepared, so today's things are also done properly.

"Shizun is really a good person, an indecisive scholar like Liu Ruyi has educated him to become a wise and decisive organizer, which shows Shizun's ability!" Zhou Jun sighed heartily at the master's ability, and walked slowly, while observing today's arrangement.
The slender men are basically illiterate, so today's arrangement is very simple, mainly to highlight the official authority and pomp of the master, which is also in line with Qi Jiguang's recruitment requirements, that is, to select soldiers who are afraid of authority, afraid of officers more than death. Such a soldier is more likely to fight to the death on the battlefield than the average soldier.
"However, with the master's training method, I am afraid that what kind of mud can be trained into a piece of steel for him, and what kind of soldiers to choose is not the most important thing!" Thinking like this, Zhou Jun saw that the more than 300 elite soldiers who had already been trained, they had not yet trained the firearms battle array, and had only completed the preliminary queue and discipline training. But they have initially embodied the characteristics of the Iron Heroes, not only the red military uniforms they wear are gorgeous and neat, they are a little more vigorous than the emperor's honor guard, their mental state is also excellent, they are full of energy, and their will is firm, as long as you look at them, you can know that they are troops who absolutely dare to fight with the enemy to the last man!
Although they have not completed their training thoroughly, they have already been exposed to the use of spears. The basic size of a group of three allowed them to fight in formation when they were scattered, and the spear assassination of a group of three was enough for a low-intensity battle.
They stood there as motionless as stakes, and even if a slender man came to talk to them, they would not speak, and someone would go and expel them. From the moment they entered the army, these soldiers were taught, "You are Liu Gong's soldiers, Datongist soldiers, and you are different from ordinary soldiers." There is a saying that "three people become tigers, and all mouths are gold", even if the lie is repeated a thousand times, it has become the truth, not to mention that these soldiers eat well, dress well, and practice are all the methods of the master, and they can often contact the immortal characters like the master, and their arrogance is only a few points more than the emperor's royal forest army!
Zhou Jun heard that these soldiers still have to go to night school, this is mandatory, the master said, his soldiers must not only be able to fight, but also be able to read, and when they are discharged, maybe they will be released to the local service, and then they don't know how to write!
There is food, clothing, military salary, night school, and a future, people's hearts are all flesh and blood, they all know how to be grateful, and they all have a desire to compare, who will not be sincerely proud!
Inspired by this emotion, it is understandable that these soldiers are above the top and look down on the bitterness of the slender man.
The high platform is built with good wood, which is not Liu Ruyi's extravagance and waste, but in order to show the wealth of the master, he must show enough resources to make these slender men who have relocated to the land determined to take refuge, after all, the slender men themselves also sang, "Why not go to the thatched hut for half a room, and the hometown of parents cannot be abandoned". However, Zhou Jun has never been worried that no one will take refuge in Shizun, not to mention that the military salary given by Shizun is high, and it has always been paid in full, just the reputation of Shizun is enough for them to follow - Tianxia Sect, Yuci Zhuangyuan Gong, all places outside the Beijing Division will tremble!
There are mountains of silver piled up on the high platform, and they are really mountains of silver!
Childe plans to initially recruit 3,000 slender men, and according to the two taels of silver per person who will be given a settlement fee, that is, 6,000 taels. But six thousand taels is really not much, according to Shizun's algorithm, six thousand taels of silver is only a "0.024 cubic meter", it is really not too much!
Zhou Jun didn't know what a cubic meter was, but he thought it was a relatively large unit! Therefore, there are 500,000 taels of silver on the high platform today, which is the meaning of buying horse bones with a thousand gold.
Zhou Jun is not the protagonist today, so he is more leisurely, he slowly roams on horseback, while quietly listening to the discussion of the slender men.
There were two slender men whispering to him, and he paced slowly, quietly pricking up his ears.
A slender man looked at the silver mountain on the platform, and his words were full of envy: "Ouch! Look at that silver mountain, this is a real silver mountain! You say, we can make so much money in a few lifetimes! ”
"Don't think about it, you poor bones, you have suffered all your life! Do you only say whose silver it is? ”
"Who's that? Is it a salt merchant in Yangzhou, or a cloth merchant in Suzhou? ”
"Neither! Even if it is a salt merchant in Yangzhou City, he said that he would take so much silver out? Let me tell you, this is the silver of the Imperial Champion Gong, the right attendant of the Yizhou Prefect and the Military Department, and the title of Liu Gong, the pioneer of Yizhou! ”
"Scared! Where did he get so much silver! Isn't it greedy? ”
"Call you stupid, you're stupid! If it is corrupt and greedy, who is so stupid that it is put forward in broad daylight for people to see? This is the silver copied by Liu Gong and Wei Zhongxian! The emperor's grandfather said that he allowed Liu Gong to use this silver to recruit troops and develop Yizhou, he is here to recruit troops and horses! ”
"Brother, you know weirdly clearly, dare to ask where did you know?"
"Hey, hey!" The second person smiled proudly: "You went out to drink horse urine last night, but Lao Tzu stayed at home and didn't go out, but as a result, a scholar under Liu Gong came to preach, talking about today's events!" ”
"Excuse me, excuse me, tell us about it!" While talking, there have been several slender men gathered here, it seems that they are all young slender men whose living conditions are not good, eager to change their current situation, they all dream of a better life, so they have come over to inquire about more news.
The slender man who had the information said proudly and loudly: "I ask you to drink less on weekdays, but you don't listen, how about it?" When Xiucai Gong came to speak yesterday, you just didn't know, you just couldn't hear it! If I hadn't known so much today, I'd have missed this opportunity! ”
"That's, that's! Tell us about it! ”
"Hmph, I'll tell you about it casually?"
"Brother, please drink in the tavern, you move your tongue, tell us, accept your love, accept your love!"
A few slender men said a lot of good things, and finally pried his mouth open: "In that case, buddy will tell you about it!" He seems to be a rather rapping person, so when he talks about the whole world, all directions, everything is said: "If you want to say that when this Liu Gong was born, it is not ordinary, it is said that it is a flower from the sky, the fragrance is strong, this Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea came to people's homes, holding a basket in his hand, and said to Mrs. Liu, 'Your family has done good deeds and accumulated virtue for generations, and you should have this son!'" This son is a descendant of heaven and earth, and you must treat him well, and he will be blessed in the future! Then he flew away, and no one could see it! But the flowers on the ground are still there, the fragrance is still there, and no one can say that this is fake! ”
He spoke like an old lady's footcloth, smelly and long, and he liked to comment blindly, for example, Shizun obviously accepted a big apprentice and a second apprentice, this big apprentice is obviously the most liked by Shizun, and his ability is also the strongest, just like the Monkey King under Tang Seng, but in this guy's mouth, the big apprentice and the second apprentice are almost the same, they have no ability, they only know how to eat with the master, how can this convince Zhou Jun!
He is Zhou Jun who made a big fuss in Suzhou Mansion and broke the prefect's mansion!
But fortunately, a few slender men were unwilling to listen to these gossip, and repeatedly asked this person to talk about the key points, so he reluctantly told what he knew: "Liu Gong is going to choose someone to develop Yizhou this time!" This first batch is to train soldiers! You don't know that although the land of this Yizhou is fertile, it has been invaded by this Hongmaoyi! Although they are not many in number, their artillery is powerful, and they must train a team of elite soldiers to fight against them! This Liu Gong dreamed that the Nine Heavens Xuannu taught the three volumes of the Book of Heaven, and there was a way to train soldiers and make artillery, this is to be tested! ”
As soon as he said this, several slender men were a little silent, and one of them said with some fear: "This is all said, good iron does not nail, good men are not soldiers, if you become a soldier, you will not be able to get rid of your nationality!" ”
"But isn't it, this soldier will inevitably die, this won the war, the benefits are all the officials, but the soldiers who lost their lives lost the battle, what people say will be successful......" He couldn't think of what the second half of the sentence was, so he had to make a foolish conclusion: "Anyway, it's not a good thing to be a soldier!" ”
"That's it, it's still worth a lot of money, and you can't afford to sell your life for those two money!" The crowd was talking one after another, and they were about to disperse.
"Hey, you're stupid!" This person was surrounded by everyone just now, but now he couldn't tolerate being ignored again, so he shouted: "You don't know at all, Liu Gong's soldiers are not at all the same as the ordinary big-headed soldiers!" ”
"What's the difference?" The crowd was curious again.
"Let me tell you, what Xiucai said yesterday is that among these tens of thousands of slender men, there are only 3,000 people, and those who are weak and weak don't want to drag their families! Everyone, as long as they are selected, will immediately send two taels of silver, real money! As long as you train well and fight well, you will have two or two months of money every month, and you will be paid in full, and the military rations will be enough to eat! Do you see the hundreds of soldiers in red uniforms? That's the elite soldier trained by Liu Gong! They were mud legs in the field a few months ago, you see now, good fellows, how majestic, how beautiful, how arrogant! If I could wear such clothes and stand guard for Liu Gong in that place, I would be willing to die! ”
As soon as he said this, someone immediately answered: "It's not just that, I heard that they have a night school, which is full of talented people from Jiangnan, and they are all literate!" ”
"What? They are literate! The crowd was amazed! (To be continued.) )
