The large-scale conscription and the back and forth of the generals under his command made the atmosphere under Li Zheng's rule slightly tense. People who don't know why think that there will be another war soon.

However, as time passed, Li Zheng's inaction made this atmosphere gradually dissipate.

After all, the atmosphere under Li Zheng's rule was very orderly and peaceful, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was official public opinion guidance and propaganda, and people did not reject war.

Most people have a strong interest in being a soldier, not only because they enjoy a series of benefits and honors that benefit their families. People even felt that as the ruler Li Zheng, who was extremely satisfied with them, it was a matter of course for him to rescue his compatriots in distress in other places. As a member of Li Zheng's rule, they are qualified and confident, and they are willing to shed blood and contribute to it.

As the conscription is in full swing, various soldier benefits have been announced one after another. Soldiers' families will enjoy half of the tax deduction. For disabled soldiers, the official guarantees them to live and work for the rest of their lives, and they are exempt from part of the tax as the case may be. For soldiers who died in battle, the government gave them the title of martyr's court of their families, and reduced their families' taxes for 10 years.

The introduction of these benefits is also accompanied by honors -- Li Zheng issued a notice that he would build a heroic altar in the future, enshrine the fallen soldiers, and engrave their names, so that people all over the world can worship and worship, so that their deeds will be passed down through the ages. This heroic altar is not only exclusive to the fallen soldiers, any heroic deeds under Li Zheng's rule will be burned in it for future generations to admire!

This kind of welfare and honor made the people under Li Zheng's rule have a very positive attitude towards becoming soldiers. Thus, shortly after the conscription order and these articles were issued, and before mid-March, the conscription quota of 34,000 people was full.

Of course, in order to balance the civil and military treatment, there are also a series of benefits for the scribes under the rule. But it's not time to announce it yet, so I'll put it on hold for now.

When the counties of Beidi, Anding, and Wuwei developed rapidly, they also attracted strong attention from surrounding forces. Although the war against Han Sui was involved in the imperial army, Li Zhengquan's excellent performance of the upper hand also allowed his reputation to gradually spread.

Perhaps in the Central Plains, far away from Liangzhou, most people's perception of Li Zheng is positioned as a rising star in the Han military, and there are people who rejoice, but most of them are only used as talking points. But several forces around Li Zheng are becoming more and more jealous.

Han Sui in the south, Dong Zhuo in Sanfu in the east, and the Huns in the north.

Because of the needs of business, Li Zheng had an open attitude towards the merchants and caravans that came in and out of Li Zheng's rule. Therefore, many things in the territory that are on the bright side have been easily spread and known.

For example, mass conscription, such as the recruitment of displaced people.

This is a great deal of stimulation of the nerves of these three parties. Especially Han Sui, he has the most profound understanding of Li Zheng. So when I learned about these news, the first thing that came to mind was arming.

Li Zheng didn't care about this.

As long as the fist is absolutely big, in the face of anyone, there will naturally be enough confidence. Of course, if there are spies from other forces with bad intentions who enter Li Zheng's rule, they will not let it go -- with Jia Xu's appointment as the chief intelligence officer and the support of the people, the several counties under Li Zheng's rule can be described as leaky!

For Li Zheng, the mystery shop is very important every month, and since last year, there have been no good things for several months, and the only useful thing is a set of armor.

This is a set of bright gold, very dazzling and eye-catching, awe-inspiring full-body fish scale armor. Although it seems to be a little sassy and easy to attract firepower on the battlefield, as the head of a party and the head of an army, he has always worn the same standard armor as the war cavalry, which is naturally not suitable.

The Lord will not be able to hide like a rat in the earth for fear of danger. The eye-catching armor, which can tell the soldiers on the battlefield at any time, that their main general is still there, has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army, which cannot be ignored.

In mid-March, Lingzhou welcomed a group of special guests -- the heads of the departments of Anding Lu Shuihu and Linsong Lu Shuihu. At the invitation of Li Zheng, the heads of the two Lu Shuihu tribes came to Lingzhou, one of which was to settle the employment fee. The second is to discuss matters related to the aquaculture industry.

Settlement of the employment fee is very simple, and it has been fully prepared for a long time, and it can be paid directly to them.

As for the new breed breeding industry, this is a hole card for Li Zheng.

Whether it is Anding Lu Shuihu or Linsong Lu Shuihu in Hexi, they are now under Li Zheng's rule. For Li Zheng, these two forces must be in his own hands.

The so-called autonomy, Li Zheng will never allow it!

Using the echinoderm pig as bait to lure them to Lingzhou is just the beginning.

What Li Zheng wants is for them to obey any orders from Li Zheng!

After settling the rest of the hired grain, Li Zheng invited all the heads of Lu Shuihu to the main hall of the General's Mansion.

The earlier Huqiang Captain's Mansion has been rebuilt and has become the current Zhenxi General's Mansion. Its pattern is naturally much more atmospheric.

The hall was very large and could accommodate at least three hundred people.

After more than 30 Lu Shuihu leaders took off their shoes and entered the hall, they only felt that it was empty. Consciously, according to their respective strength and status, more than 30 people were divided into left and right, and sat down on their knees.

After a while, Li Zheng walked out of the back hall.

He was dressed in a black robe, and his sword hung from his waist. The hair bun on the top of the head is not a hosta, the face is handsome, majestic, the posture is straight, and the bearing is awe-inspiring.

In more than two years, Li Zheng's changes have been huge.

The face after rejuvenation, the trace of immaturity that was still left earlier, has completely disappeared. The face is sharpened with an axe, and the eyes are sharp. As the forces under his command become larger and larger, the territory under his control is increasing, and the scenes he has experienced are getting bigger and bigger, he has naturally cultivated some prestige and bearing.

Facing Li Zheng's gaze, all the leaders of Lu Shuihu couldn't help but bow their heads slightly.

Congenitally, they feel that they are one level lower, Li Zheng is a high-ranking official of the Han Court, a general of Zhenxi, they are just a border wilderness, a barbarian.

Moreover, the atmosphere created by the majestic hall of the General's Mansion in the west of the town also accentuated this sense.

"Meet General Lee!"

I don't know who took the lead, all the heroes got up together and bowed deeply to Li Zheng.

Nodding with satisfaction, he waved his hand to let all the heroes sit down, Li Zheng picked up the bronze jue on the table, raised his glass and said: "This general is the host, this time I will summon you to Lingzhou to discuss important matters, naturally I can't neglect you, come, win the drink!" ”

The head of Zhulu Shui and Hu Haoshuai hurriedly raised the bronze jue, touched Li Zheng from afar, raised his neck and drank the wine in the bronze jue.

"Good wine!"

Youhao Shuai couldn't help but praise it.

This is naturally a good wine, and if the wine made from ginseng wheat is not good, then other wines in this world can only be regarded as horse urine.

With the bumper harvest of agriculture and the full warehouse of grain, the winemaking industry will naturally flourish. The first person to brew ginseng malt wine was not Li Zheng, but a wealthy and powerful family in Lingzhou.

Nowadays, this kind of fine wine has become another symbol of Lingzhou goods, so that foreign merchants flock to it.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Under the rule of General Ben, there are many good things. ”

As he spoke, he put down the wine lord and said, "If you can meet General Ben's requirements, General Ben doesn't mind giving some people more benefits!" ”

When all the heroes and handsomes in the hall heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

After taking a bite of the vegetables, Li Zheng said again: "Your tribe is now under the rule of General Ben" Saying, Li Zheng's voice changed and said: "General Ben is a straight man, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush, so he will say it directly." ”

"You all want to introduce echinoderm pigs from my Lingzhou to breed, right?"

All the heroes and handsomes shook their heads together.

Needless to say, most of the purpose of their coming here is because of the echinoderm pigs. However, after arriving in Lingzhou, I saw too many good things, and now my heart is even more itchy.

"Not only the Echinoderm Pig, but also the Red Jade Bird, and even the ginseng wheat and this fine wine, I can open it to you." Li Zheng's words made Zhu Haoshuai's breathing a little short.

"But General Ben naturally has the conditions!"

"General Li, please!" The handsome man on the right stood up and hugged his fists and said: "As long as the general agrees to open the above things to us, we will not dare to disobey!" ”

"Good!"

Li Zheng smiled. Although I don't care about the sentence 'don't dare to disobey', it can also reflect the thoughts of these Lu Shui Hu Haoshuai.

"Three conditions!" Li Zheng stretched out his finger, his eyes were like electricity, he glanced at the hall, and said: "First, from now on, the people of the Er and other clans will no longer be Lu Shuihu, but naturalized Han people under the rule of this general!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately burst into flames, and all the heroes and commanders of all departments exchanged their heads and ears, and their dissatisfaction was overflowing.

"General Li, what do you mean by this?" The handsome man on the right frowned and said, "I'm waiting for Lu Shuihu to inherit it for thousands of years, how can I erase it because of the general's words?" Is this insulting to us?! ”

Li Zheng waved his hand, his face remained unchanged, and he continued: "After listening to all the conditions first. ”

The hall immediately fell silent again.

"Second, disarm a qiē tribe!"

After hearing this, the hall exploded. To disarm is to take their lives. Everyone's eyes looking at Li Zheng changed.

"Third," Li Zheng ignored it and continued: "Learn my Han culture, wear Hanfu, speak Chinese, and believe in Taiyi God!" ”

As long as these three conditions can be implemented, it is equivalent to cutting off Lu Shuihu's roots. Since then, there has been no Lu Shuihu, only Han Chinese!
