After the prisoners were killed in public, the gentry suddenly became much more honest, and after being put back, they quickly sent the donated food and salary to the state government. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info didn't wait for Ren Siqi to speak, and they themselves increased the amount of donations to tenfold. On the whole, the gentry of Jiaozhou donated more than 5,000 taels of grain and more than 20,000 taels of silver.

Since the gentry were interested, Ren Siqi didn't care much about himself, so he just passed them.

The soldiers of the Daishan Army from Jiaozhou were sent to the countryside and returned to their villages to propagate the policies of the Daishan Army and mobilize their villagers to emigrate to Daishan.

Ren Siqi knew that the people who could live in the city were relatively wealthy, or engaged in occupations other than agriculture, and these people were lazy and lazy, far less simple than rural people. So he focused his recruitment on the countryside.

With the previous deterrence, those gentry were also honest and did not dare to resist the recruitment anymore.

"Third uncle, you don't know, you can eat fish and meat in Daishan casually, you can eat a full meal every day, and no one has bullied you." Daishan sergeant Chen Liuzi's eyebrows danced.

"Little Liuzi, is it really as good as you say?" His third uncle was a farmer in his forties, with ragged clothes and wrinkles on his forehead.

"You are my own uncle, can I still lie to you? It's all true, my father and daughter-in-law are on Daishan Island, two months ago, as soon as my family arrived on Daishan Island, the general immediately gave my family 20 acres of land, and the seeds and cattle were lent to us, and only half of the annual land rent was collected. Daishan has just undergone the summer harvest, and each acre of land can collect more than one stone of grain. In this way, when the autumn harvest comes, my family will be able to harvest nearly twenty stones of grain, third uncle, think about it, where can there be such a good thing for the owner to farm in Shandong?

Third uncle, you and my aunt can farm when you go to Daishan. My seventh brother can be a soldier like me, and he can earn a tael of silver every month. Even my brother and daughter-in-law can work in a cannery, and they earn no less copper money every day than they do as a soldier. ”

"Sixth brother, your brother and daughter-in-law can also work to make money?" Chen Qi, a cousin standing next to him, asked in surprise.

"Of course, she makes canned food in a cannery, and the canned fish you eat is made in her factory." Chen Liu pointed to the canned food he brought and said proudly.

At the table, three bubbling mud monkeys were drooling around a huge can.

"Come, I'll open it for you and taste the canned food your sister-in-law made." Chen Liu became more and more proud, stepped forward to pat the clay seal on the can, poured the can into a large bowl on the table, and reached a full bowl.

A few mud monkeys stepped forward and reached out to grab it, impatiently filling their mouths.

"Don't move yet, the adults haven't moved the chopsticks yet, are there any rules?" Afraid of being laughed at by his cousin, Chen Qi hurriedly scolded his child.

"Hehe, Seventh Brother leave them alone, let them eat. I have eaten a lot of this canned food in Daishan, and in fact, it tastes like that. Chen Liu said with a smile.

"Daddy, you can taste it!" Chen Qi picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, handed it to his father, then gave it to his daughter-in-law, and finally picked up the smallest piece and carefully put it in his mouth.

A wonderful taste emanates from the taste buds on the tongue, fragrant, sweet, crispy, all kinds of indescribable tastes. has lived so big, Chen Qi has never eaten such delicious things! At this moment, he made up his mind to go to Daishan no matter what!

"Alas, the ancestral tomb is still here!" Chen Qi's father is still frowning, and for these people, it is difficult to accept to abandon their ancestral grave and stay away from other places.

"Third uncle, I can't live anymore, who can take care of the ancestral grave. My general said that the Manchurian army will soon march into Shandong, and then they will force all the people to shave their heads and change their clothes, and then we will all become barbarians, and then we will be even more sorry for our ancestors! ”

Shave? Uncle Chen suddenly remembered that when he went to Jiaozhou not long ago to deliver grain, he saw the braided hair of the Qing soldiers' money rat tails, and he couldn't help but feel a great desolation in his heart.

"Didn't the imperial court send you to occupy Jiaozhou again? Will it still be taken away by the Qing soldiers? ”

"Third uncle, the number of soldiers in our Daishan Army is too small to hold Jiaozhou at all, and we will return to Jiangnan soon. This time, our Daishan army came to Shandong to rescue the fathers and elders in Shandong, move them to Daishan, and return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

However, our ships are limited, it is impossible to transfer everyone to Daishan, if you want to go, you have to hurry up and sign up, if it is late, I am afraid that you will not be able to get on the ship. ”

Hearing that he might not be able to get on the boat, Chen Qi suddenly became anxious.

"Dad, what else is there to hesitate about, I can't eat a few full meals all year round, what's too much to do?"

"Yes, third uncle, don't hesitate, when you go to Daishan, not only can you have a full meal, but the children can also go to school for free. By the way, Seventh Brother, what about Xiao Mi, why didn't I see him? Chen Liu suddenly realized something.

"Little he, he had an illness last month and died! He was already weak, and he couldn't eat wild vegetables when he was sick, but the food didn't come down, so he couldn't survive. Chen Qi said with a gloomy expression.

Hearing this, Uncle Chen Sanshu left two cloudy tears on his face.

"Go, go to Daishan, let's go!"

With the mobilization of the Jiaozhou soldiers sent back to their hometowns, the recruitment work went smoothly. Every day, people come to the city of Jiaozhou and sign up at the recruitment office outside the city gate.

The recruitment work of the Daishan Army was very meticulous, and more than a dozen cauldrons were placed outside the city, in which the rotten rice was boiled, and fragrant canned fish was added to the rice.

Anyone who comes to register will be given a bowl of hot porridge first, and then sign up before the case after eating.

At the front of each case sat a clerk of the Daishan Army, holding a brush to record the relevant information of the applicants.

Name, place of origin, family population, whether it is a farmer or engaged in other occupations, whether there is a recommendation from Daishan soldiers, etc.

Not everyone wants it, at the time of registration, there will be an assessment of the officers of the Daishan Army, and those who are conscripted as soldiers must be young and strong peasants, and there must also be villagers as guarantees. Like those who are distracted and cunning, they are all turned away.

The way to distinguish is very simple, as long as there are calluses left by manual work on your hands, you are honest and responsible people. On the contrary, those with soft and delicate palms are all market gangsters who do not work hard, and the Daishan Army does not need such people.

One person is conscripted into the army, and the whole family can go to Daishan by boat. The Daishan Army encourages the whole family to immigrate, and for those who want to join the army alone, they basically do not consider it. Only when the family is in Daishan will they be loyal to Daishan.

Not only to recruit soldiers, but also to those manual workers, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, lacquerers and other craftsmen, the Daishan army is more welcome.

For some scholars who are willing to go to Daishan, they are given the best treatment. (To be continued.) )
