The cold wind became more and more depressed, and the more than 7,000 displaced people recruited by Zhao Yan have begun to build houses, which are built on the edge of Zhaojia Village, which are all simple wooden houses, as long as they can block the wind and cold in winter.

Of the more than 7,000 displaced people, half are old and weak women, and half are young and strong. The young and strong among the displaced have a higher chance of survival, so this rate can be achieved.

Zhao Yan and Zhao Quan were very busy, and due to the lack of manpower, they could only go into battle by themselves. At present, there is no shortage of displaced people, but what is urgently needed are administrative personnel, that is, cultural people.

Bookkeeping, land measurement, household registration statistics, etc., all require a large number of literati, which is also what Zhao Yan lacks the most at present, and it is impossible to do it one by one! That's going to tire people out.

"Childe, you should know some classmates at Fuxue! Maybe I'll be able to find them. Zhao Quan suggested.

"I don't remember." Zhao Yan shook his head depressedly and said, how could he, a Xibei goods, know those previous classmates, "Besides, next year is a scientific expedition, and they can't come here at this time." ”

Xiucai naturally wanted to be promoted to be an official and a big official, and it was impossible for them to give up their lofty ideals for the sake of the little profit given by Zhao Yan.

"Then you can only advertise and recruit people." Zhao Quan said.

"Even if you can write and remember, even if you recruit it, it's a big deal to let people train for a while, and this matter must be done as soon as possible." Zhao Yan thought for a while and said. General documents, as long as you can write, bookkeeping, and arithmetic are enough, and the requirements are not too high.

"How much do you have to be paid?" Zhao Quan asked.

"The paperwork that is generally used for bookkeeping, give one stone of rice grain a month, plus one or two pieces of silver!" Zhao Yan offered a very generous monthly salary.

"In addition to the general paperwork, we also have to recruit a few stewards and shopkeepers who know how to trade, I don't know the salary in this area, Uncle Quan, you can look at the decision!" Zhao Yan said to Zhao Quan, he is more relieved to hand over these things to Zhao Quan, he is a lifter, Zhao Quan followed his Lao Tzu all the way to study and also took the exam, he is very outstanding in ability, and more importantly, he is very loyal to the Zhao family.

"The old slave will do it immediately." Zhao Quan nodded and hurriedly ran out again.

Zhao Quan hurriedly sent people to Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places to recruit clerks, and at the same time announced the news. Zhao Quan was responsible for the resettlement of the displaced people, and Zhao Yan put the training of the troops at the top.

There are no soldiers in his hands, and his heart is uneasy.

If there was a well-organized army at hand, if the group of thieves encountered last time had not swept them, they would not have defeated Zhao Yan for nearly 100,000 taels of silver.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Yan was depressed, but he felt sorry for the 100,000 taels of silver, and he could earn it again when the silver was gone, but he felt that this was a very unnecessary expense.

If you casually fight with the thieves, it will cost more than 100,000 taels, so how can you deal with the upcoming troubled times. Maybe if he fights with the Manchus, he will go bankrupt.

Therefore, the formation of a disciplined and well-organized army is a top priority.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yan gathered the Zhao family's family, the last time he went to Jinan City, he lost more than a dozen people after the battle with the thieves on the way, and the shirt silver was also sent to their families.

Now there are only ninety-three families left, and there is no private salt business to do at present, so it is relatively idle after returning.

Ninety-three family members were gathered together, and they stood sparsely, without the slightest appearance of soldiers. It is true that they are not soldiers, but just a group of landlords.

Zhao Yan stood straight in front of the family, looked around sharply, and said in a deep voice: "When we came back this time, we lost more than a dozen brothers, do you know why? ”

"There must be too many thieves!" Zhao Yong, who led the team, replied loudly that Zhao Yong had the highest martial arts among the family members, so he was promoted by Zhao Yan and led the other family members.

"Wrong, very wrong." Zhao Yan immediately vetoed, took two steps behind his back, and said: "That group of thieves is just a rabble, and a random rumor can be defeated. Last time, it wasn't tens of thousands of people who really fought against us, but only a few hundred. For those hundreds, we lost a dozen brothers. At the end of the day, we're a rabble, just a line above them. ”

"Yes...... Yes. Zhao Yong blushed, unable to find a rebuttal. But many family members don't think so, and it is not bad to be able to defeat hundreds of thieves at the cost of a dozen people.

However, Zhao Yan has a high prestige in their hearts, and Zhao Yan's performance during this time made them admire it very much, so they didn't dare to refute it in person.

In the school examination, it is only based on personal force, so strictly speaking, the Zhao family's family is also a group of rabble, but they are more courageous and dare to fight than ordinary rabble.

"I know what you think, you want to say that you are not a rabble, your skills are one in a hundred, and a few people can't beat you." Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously: "But that's just the ability to fight alone, no matter how good you are on the battlefield, without the assistance of the group, it is just a dead end, what is important on the battlefield is that you live and die, who will fight with you alone?" The more you like a brave and ruthless person, the faster you will die on the battlefield. ”

All the family members looked at Zhao Yan silently and listened to his speech quietly.

"Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, natural disasters [***] are continuous, today is not a drought, tomorrow is a flood, and the day after tomorrow there may be a locust plague. There was a rebellion of Kong Youde in Shandong before, and a few days ago we also encountered thieves, maybe tomorrow Liaodong Jiannu will fight to Dengzhou, or maybe the day after tomorrow Liukou will come to Dengzhou. ”

Zhao Yan pointed to the displaced people who were building houses in the distance and shouted: "If we don't prepare early, we will be like those people, losing our homes, separating our relatives, and taking risks for a bite to eat." They're fine, and we have them in there, but if we fall, who's going to contain us? Who will give us seeds and rations to tide us over? ”

"We can't defeat the thieves with a rumor every time we did the same as last time, and we can't even deal with the thieves, let alone the Jiannu who has lost all our conscience?" Zhao Yan made a provocative speech in a high-spirited and frustrated speech, "So we can no longer be a rabble like this, we must strengthen our strength as soon as possible, so that we can protect our homes and relatives, and only in the face of natural disasters can we seize the initiative." ”

"From today onwards, I will train you to be elite soldiers, do you have confidence?" Zhao Yan asked.

"Yes." The family replied neatly.

"Okay, today is the beginning of our army, the beginning of the army, military law first......"

"Those who do not listen to orders will be beheaded, those who flee from the battle will be beheaded, those who disturb the morale of the army will be beheaded, those who gather crowds to gamble will be beheaded, those who disturb the people and cause trouble will be beheaded, ** women will be beheaded, and those who are captured in private will be beheaded......"

……

Zhang Buyun was one of the captured thieves, and he looked very ordinary, even a little thin.

In the past two days, he was cutting wood to build a house, he was a man of letters, he had never done hard work, and he was cold and tired and couldn't hold on.

He was originally a talent in Zhaoyuan, because the thieves passed, he was coerced, and he had no choice but to go with the flow among the thieves, Zhao Yan saw that the situation was not good when he fought with the thieves, and he directly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead to escape, and was captured when cleaning the battlefield.

This made him very panicked, if the government knew that he was a thief, he would not want to keep his reputation.

In the apprehension, this caravan of the Zhao family only cut off the head of the thief, and did not pursue them. This made Zhang Buyun breathe a sigh of relief, but then after knowing that he was going to become the domestic slave of the Zhao family, his mood couldn't help but fall to the bottom.

House slaves, those are untouchables who can be beaten and killed.

After arriving in Zhaojia Village, Zhang Buyun secretly observed for two days and found that the Zhao family was not bad to the slaves in the family, especially the son of the Zhao family, who was fierce and vicious on the battlefield, but he usually treated people with a pleasant face, but his voice was a little rough when he commanded people.

At the same time, he was secretly frightened by the Zhao family's financial resources, because the Zhao family had recruited nearly tens of thousands of displaced people, and it seemed that they were going to be placed as tenant farmers of the Zhao family.

It's just that the Zhao family seems to be very short of clerical manpower, although a group of homeless people are well settled, but it can't be said to be in good order.

Dengzhou experienced Kong Youde's rebellion, production was in a depression, and it was understandable that the Zhao family wanted to resume production. But Zhang Buyun found a phenomenon that surprised him.

The Zhao family is actually training!

A landlord is training his troops, and his ambition is not small.
