244 Recruitment

"My lord, if the villain can pull more than a thousand people, can the villain be the head of a thousand households?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Then you get out" Lu Haoshan said without hesitation: "The officer doesn't like the soldier who likes to brag the most, now it's not about getting a head, but choosing a good hand, where are there so many good hands, and no matter how high you are, you can't be taller than the official, or where should I sit?" ”

All the soldiers laughed, and the atmosphere of the scene was much more lively for a while.

After his subordinates finished laughing, Lu Haoshan continued: "Okay, the two things that the official said just now, you must keep in mind, it's about to go out for the New Year, everyone's life has not been very good recently, the official has ordered to break a bad habit, from the official below the small flag, are not allowed to receive gifts, violators will not be slack, the last thing, everyone can receive a New Year's gift during the New Year, a bag of rice, a bottle of oil, a jar of wine and three catties of pork, there are all in the health office, everyone has a share, never fall short, which one has not received or the amount is wrong, You can complain to me directly. ”

Leading the troops to settle the account, to do both grace and power in order to convince the people's hearts, the New Year also has to show that the people's hearts are gathered, a person's strength is limited, that is, if you want to make money, you also need many people to make money for yourself so that it can come quickly, and many officials like to exploit their subordinates and their own people, Lu Haoshan likes to treat his subordinates well, let them obey their own words, and make money from others, there is a saying called "attitude determines a qiē", a person works seriously and perfunctory, and the efficiency is not half a star.

Lu Haoshan's words were plain, but the soldiers present were dumbfounded, and they thought that they had heard it wrong: not only do you not need to be filial piety during the New Year, but you will also be rewarded with rice, meat and other things, you can't hear it wrong, right?

Those heads of thousands of households and hundreds of households have always regarded military households as inappropriate people, and they will be scolded and beaten lightly, and officials and officials will defend each other, even if there is a grievance, there is no place to complain. Because the military households are inferior, who cares if they live or die? Anyway, if you die, you can make up for it, and if you don't make up for it, you can save a ration, that is, the Lin family who treats the military households well, and the New Year is not so generous, here you collect the filial piety of those hundred households, and open a porridge shed over there or distribute some steamed buns, copper coins and other things at the gate of the mansion to count it as the end of the matter, in fact, those filial piety, why not pay for those hundred households, general flags, and small flags extorted from military households?

This Lu Qianhu not only forbade gift-giving, but also gave so many things. It's unbelievable.

"You guys, Lord Qianhu treats you so kindly, why don't you hurry up and thank you?" Zhao Feng, who was Wen Chong Baihu on the side, was also taken aback, but he quickly came to his senses and shouted loudly.

Only then did these more than 500 soldiers come to their senses, and they hurriedly saluted: "Lord Xie Qianhu"

"The Thousand Households are really kind-hearted"

"That's it, the prime minister can hold the boat in his stomach, and we are working against the Lord of Qianhu in front, but I didn't expect the adults to really care."

"Nonsense. Care? What do you eat every day? Now every day is like the New Year, if you care about it, it is estimated that you will not have to gnaw on the nest. ”

"It's really a blessing for us to follow such a thousand households."

In the gratitude of all the soldiers, the school assembly ended perfectly. It can be said that in one fell swoop, the bad impression of Lu Haoshan by the soldiers was reversed, and the distance between the two was shortened.

"Haoshan, isn't this too lenient for those subordinates?" Back in the backyard, Lin Yuexuan helped Lu Haoxia take off the leather jacket. He said curiously while shaking the snow on it.

In the Ming Dynasty, where classes were clear, it was difficult for Lin Yuexuan to understand the concept of "everyone is equal", in her mind. It is a matter of course to exploit them and oppress them, and the means are lighter than others, which is already benevolent, and now Lu Haoshan not only exempts from bad habits, but also gives those subordinates rice, oil and meat, it seems that he is a bit of a loser.

It is enough to give each of them a few catties, but Lu Haoshan plans to pack as many as twenty catties in a bag, and these things are all taken out of the property offered by the Lin family, although this property is handed over, but Lu Haoshan's, isn't it his own?

Lin Yuexuan was a little painful.

Lu Haoshan knew her thoughts, and comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, there is a poem called "The daughter is gone" and comes back, don't worry, if you use it, I will earn it back." ”

"Small fortune doesn't come out, big wealth doesn't come in, right?" Lin Yuexuan smiled and said to Lu Haoshan a little mischievously.

In fact, since the death of her brother, Lin Yuexuan has become the pillar of the family, and since then, she has matured a lot, and her hatred for Lu Haoshan has turned into love from the beginning.

The raw rice has been cooked and matured, as a weak person, he can only marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry a monkey and run all over the mountain, for the fate of the Lin family, he tied himself to Lu Haoshan, fortunately, after these days of getting along, he slowly accepted the idea that Lu Haoshan was a good match from the heart, and looked at Lu Haoshan's eyes and became gentle.

Lu Haoshan gently scraped her Qiong's nose with his hand and said: "That's right, my family Xuan'er is too right, don't give some benefits, and want people to die, that's impossible, money is not afraid to be spent, just spend it worthwhile." ”

"Haoshan, why do you give them rice, oil, meat, these things, isn't it more realistic to give them money? It's also a hassle to deal with. Lin Yuexuan asked a little strangely.

"You don't understand, the silver is heavy, you can't give much, you can't show much sense of saving, besides, these poor and crazy soldiers, with money, are afraid that they will eat, drink, prostitute and gamble if they take it, it is better to give them in kind, so that they can't gamble, take it home, they can feel the kindness of this thousand households, so that their families also have a sense of identity with the guard, and it will be much more convenient to talk and do things in the future."

It turned out that this was the case, Lin Yuexuan couldn't help but nod secretly: Yes, the soldiers in the guard station have nothing to do on weekdays, and many people are infected with the bad habits of prostitution and gambling, really give them money, it is estimated that many families will see that the silver is gone, and give them physical goods, so they will benefit more, I didn't expect Lu Haoshan to even think of these details, it is really thick and fine, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Haoshan, you still have a way." ”

"Bang" "Bang"

Before the New Year, he heard the sound of children setting off firecrackers from afar, and Lu Haoshan said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that the New Year is coming soon, and this day is too fast." ”

"Yes, it's almost the New Year," Lin Yuexuan echoed, and suddenly said with some sadness: "If it was in previous years, my brother would ask someone to bring back the latest silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and find a handmade tailor to make new clothes for the whole family for the New Year." It's a pity this year"

Thinking of her deceased brother, Lin Yuexuan's eyes were shining, and tears were about to flow out.

Lu Haoshan saw that she was a little emotional, so he hurriedly hugged her gently and said: "It's okay, I'll take you to Jiangyou for the New Year this year, it's lively and fun there, you go, your sister-in-law and your nephew's whole family will go, anyway, it's not far, just take a break." ”

"I'm going too? This. It's not good, Sister Min will be unhappy. Lin Yuexuan said with some hesitation.

This partial room is "killed" to the main room territory, isn't that right?

"It's okay" Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "This is Min'er's idea, she said that it is cold here, there is not much atmosphere for the New Year, and I am afraid that you will touch the scene, so I specially asked me to invite your whole family to Jiangyou as a guest, even if you don't live in Zhaojia Village, you can live in Jiangyou County, and I also have a house in the county." ”

Lin Yuexuan's heart was ambiguous. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I still have to ask my sister-in-law's opinion on this matter." ”

"Okay, you guys discuss it slowly, there's still time anyway." Lu Haoshan said with a smile.

From Guangyuan to Jiangyou. It's only two or three days away, and if you ride a good horse and change horses twice in the middle, you can reach it in one day. At that time, most of the private soldiers will return to Jiangyou with Lu Haoshan for the New Year, Tang Qiang and Li Nian will sit here, plus those who recruited private soldiers from the homeless people. Lu Haoshan can walk with peace of mind, it is only mid-November, and there is still more than a month to go.

Lin Yuexuan nodded lightly, her eyes were a little hazy again, but this time she was moved.

The history of the Chinese nation has a long history, the Chinese people are industrious, intelligent and brave, leaving a lot of valuable wealth to future generations, the festival is one of the treasures of culture, for the Chinese people, the most important festival is the New Year, to the day of the New Year, no matter how far away, the wanderers from afar will return to the side of their relatives, and their families are reunited, that is, hundreds of years later, the descendants are also spread a saying called "rich or not, go home for the New Year".

There were very few holidays in the Ming Dynasty, but Lu Haoshan gave the soldiers a holiday early on the grounds of looking for suspicious characters, and only let some of them take turns to return to the guard station.

Pull enough 10 people to make a small flag, pull more than 50 people can be the general flag, this is an opportunity to be promoted, no need to give gifts, no need to go to the battlefield to work hard, just find some people to be officials, there is nothing better than this in the world, the only problem is that Lu Haoshan is not an ordinary person, if there are capable talents, this makes everyone a little difficult, but this does not discourage everyone's enthusiasm, everyone understands a truth: do not necessarily succeed, but do not do it will definitely not succeed.

A group of soldiers went out with all their might, searching for talents, and some even sent out their whole families, writing letters and inquiring about them, hoping that their family members could become petty officials and change the status and fate of the whole family.

Fortunately, the people who want to pull do not need to be naturalized military households, whether it is food or monthly salary, it is also very generous, and it is easy to pull people in this year, so everyone is very confident.

"Dog, you have a cousin who heard that he has practiced martial arts with a master, ask him to try it."

"Big brother, I have a brother who is born with divine powers, and a hundred-pound stone lion can be used as a hydrangea to play with."

"Brother, this is true, as long as you join the Thousand Households, tsk, braised pork, eat straight teeth, don't believe you look at my belly, there is a lot of oil and water, if you don't eat well, can you raise a general's belly?"

"Brother Zhao, you have a good archery skill, you will definitely be able to choose, didn't you say that you want to marry Cui'er and raise enough money for the bride price? Come to our Qianhu Institute, eat and live, a tael of white flowers and silver a month, how good, so let's do it, as long as you respond, I will cushion your bride price for you first, provided that you have to pass the guò test"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, with Wenchong Qianhu as the center, began to look for talents, recruit troops, while recruiting talents, Lu Haoshan and the Zhao family, has also spared no effort to acquire all kinds of materials, hoarding grain and grass, under the operation of Zhao Yuqing, constantly help Lu Haoshan cash out the property in his hands, first cash into gold and silver, and then exchange for various materials, behind the calm, a qiē is carried out in an orderly manner.
