There is no need to worry about the source of soldiers, now the disasters are continuous, the displaced people have become disasters, many people are willing to go to the barracks to mix a full meal, the family can have one less mouth to eat, and the homeless people can also have a hope of living, after all, it is better than starving to death, and the most important thing is money and food, and only with money and food can we recruit soldiers and buy horses.

"Mr. Li, have you checked those accounts? What about the income of Wenchong Thousand Households? ”

Lu Haoshan values income the most, the prosperous collection of gold in troubled times, gold is money, in this troubled times, the most important thing is money and grain.

After more than half a month of familiarity with the operation of Wenchong Thousand Households, Li Nianzhi has a certain understanding of the accounts here, and said confidently: "My lord, I have already calculated clearly, adding up the profits of each health center, there can be about 100,000 taels of income in about a year. ”

"One hundred thousand taels? So little? Lu Hao said with a frown.

Don't look at 100,000 taels a lot, there will be less porridge for monks, those soldiers who are on duty need to be rewarded, officers need dividends, and bosses also need to pay some filial piety, there is not much left after coming and going, and there are more than 1,000 people and horses to raise, and it is not a small amount for people to eat and chew, 100,000 taels, even if Lu Haoshan is the head of a thousand households, it is already good to get 30,000 taels, even 30,000 taels, and it can't do anything big, firewood, rice, oil and salt all have to spend money, this is not Jiangyou, a command can get a lot of offerings.

Li Nian said cautiously: "My lord, in the past, those hundreds of household chiefs dismantled each other, so they blocked a lot of financial routes, and there were also some gray incomes that they did not account for. ”

"The official is not in a hurry" Lu Haoshan said proudly: "As long as you keep this golden rice bowl, you are not afraid of running out of food, and there is also the Ancient Tea Horse Road, I will take the lion's share here in the future." ”

People are not rich without windfalls, and it is difficult to make a fortune in small fights, Lu Haoshan thought about it, it's time to make it bigger, and then find a way to trade tea and horses to eat this piece of fat alone. Guangyuan is the gateway to Sichuan, Jiangyou is the only way to pass through the ancient tea horse road, Zitianguan is an extremely important checkpoint for tea and horse trading, there is Sha'er can be ten thousand households to meet Pubu, and there is the support of Sichuan commanders, Lu Haoshan is absolutely confident that this business will be bigger and stronger.

Eat the mountains according to the mountains, draft according to the water, and build the horses and funds needed for the cavalry, Lu Haoshan is ready to raise them in this way.

Li Nian had long known about Lu Haoshan's teachings, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Dong Weng will definitely get his wish." ”

"Now it's a priority. It is to integrate and recruit new recruits, and we must do our best to integrate the system. Lu Haoshan thought for a moment and immediately commanded.

After his own lobbying, Han Wendeng will definitely ask the court for his life in order to compete for the position of governor, and now the Ming Dynasty, which is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, wishes that someone would take the initiative to suppress it, and most of them will make the trip, so it will come. You will have the opportunity to train the army and earn military merits, of course, the premise is that you must also have an elite soldier who can fight well.

"The student received the order, I don't know what else the general commanded?" Li Nian said respectfully.

"Meeting. Three days later, all the qualified soldiers will come to this school for a meeting, and the official will hold a mobilization meeting for them. Soldiers of the private guard do not need to participate. Lu Haoshan hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Yes, Dong On."

The tour is done with the training. Lu Haoshan didn't stay long, with the gifts bought from Chengdu, to see Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan, Xiaoli is better than the newlywed, say a few intimate words, love these naturally don't need to be detailed, anyway, they all know what is going on, after the New Year, Lu Haoshan married Lin Yuexuan into the Lu family, and now the two daughters have long been commensurate with the group sisters, Zhao Min is responsible for the intelligence system and housework, and Lin Yuexuan, who is familiar with military affairs, has also become Lu Haoshan's virtuous hand, helping to take care of the military affairs of Wenchong's thousand households.

None of them are vases

On November 17th, the weather was a little cold, the air became cold, the sky drifted a light snow, the people were hiding in their homes, clothed in quilts and roasting charcoal fires, there was nothing to do in this cold day, and many people hoped that the snow would fall bigger, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, in recent years, God did not open his eyes, the people who rely on the sky to eat are getting harder and harder day by day, if the snow falls heavier, maybe there will be a good harvest in the coming year.

There are some people who have to stay outside the house in the cold weather, not only do they have to stay, but one by one they stand up straight, not moving, letting the wind blow on their faces and the snow fall on their bodies, they just don't move, they look like a pile of wooden people from a distance, no one speaks, no one moves, because they are soldiers.

These are the elite soldiers selected by the 100 households under the name of Wenchong Qianhu, today they were ordered to rush to the Qianhu to listen to the new Qianhu lecture, although the Qianhu chief is not uncommon, because the new Qianhu did not go to the 100 households to inspect after taking office, but listening to the Qianhu chief's lecture is the first time for a group of soldiers.

No matter how cold the wind is, no matter how heavy the snow is, you have to endure it, the head of a thousand households can't see anyone disobey orders, for those who eat and drink to live, the new head of a thousand households is their nightmare, but for these people who are soldiers with real skills, the arrival of Lu Haoshan is a good thing, the most direct thing is that as long as you train well, you can eat well and live well, and the original gruel and wowotou directly turned into rice and meat.

The premise is to train yourself and get the first class.

This year, I am very happy to be able to drink a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, and I can also eat meat, luxury, this is the New Year, and there is not necessarily this treatment, no, those brothers who have not passed the guò test can only follow the original hundred households to fight the autumn wind, all of them have red eyes, although they are fighting the autumn wind outside, but Li Junshi said, the floating wealth outside, the brothers in the barracks also have a share, and this one, there are more people than those who run out to work, can you not be satisfied?

Strict is a little stricter, but it is fair to everyone, so there are no complaints.

The half-man stood for nearly half an hour, and his body was about to freeze, so Lu Haoshan, accompanied by his personal guard, slowly climbed onto the platform.

Lu Haoshan looked at the soldiers who were standing straight, nodded with satisfaction, and nodded to Chang Fei, the fifth old man who was in charge of sorting out the team.

"Yes, the brothers present estimated that some people secretly scolded the general in their hearts, throwing the brothers here to freeze on such a cold day, in fact, this is just a test for you, you did a good job, and did not disappoint the official, okay, let's not talk about those big truths, just come to a little practical"

As soon as they heard that it was real, the soldiers present suddenly came to their senses, their eyes widened and their ears stretched out, for fear of missing a word.

"Let's get straight to the point, it's almost the New Year, so Lu will give his brother a promotion and a salary." Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said generously.

As soon as the words fell, there was silence on the school field, and there was no cheering situation as Lu Shan imagined. ”

Military households were determined at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were captives, poor peasants, and some criminal officials, the status was extremely low, and they could not be taken lightly, once they were military households, they were military households for generations, and they had to take weapons to fight hard during the war, and they had to work hard with weapons during the war, and they were all their lives as long-term workers and slaves of the "Zhu family" who did not need money, and even the descendants were no exception.

"Yes, my lord, I, I am lowly and unworthy of military salary"

"We Have No Salary According to the Law"

The soldiers seemed to touch the deep pain in their hearts, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little dull, and many people thought, this thousand household chiefs from civilian to military attaché don't even know these common sense, right?

Lu Haoshan laughed, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said with an affirmative face: "Since the official said that the salary will be increased, it is naturally not a matter of words, but after careful consideration, this monthly salary is the same as that of the official's private guard, which is one or two a month, twelve taels a year. ”

One or two a month?

Everyone was taken aback, this is comparable to the monthly salary of those famous and successful armies, and a general banner said with some doubts: "My lord, are these monthly salaries still conditional?" ”

"That's right, this brother said it well" Lu Haoshan snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "In the army, if you want to get ahead, if you want to eat well and live well, then you have to fight for it with your ability, this officer is ready to set up a special battalion, and select excellent soldiers from the brothers present to come in and conduct special training, as long as you enter the special battalion, not only will you have enough food and meat, but for a month, listen well, you will be given one or two silver every month for pocket money, of course, you can also be used as a military salary, but the number of people in this special battalion is limited, and now the plan is to accept only three hundred people, After the annual meeting, the detailed rules and requirements will be announced, and you should not miss the opportunity. ”

The news of the special battalion, the food and meat are enough, and one or two odd spends, this news spread among the ranks at once, some people are happy and some are worried, those with good skills are secretly excited, and those with average ability are secretly determined to strengthen training or something.

"My lord, just now you said that you were promoted, how did this official get promoted?" The one who spoke was a small banner, his strength was average, and he was at the bottom of the list in the army, and that special training camp sounded good, but when he saw the elite of the private guard and saw a large number of brothers who were eliminated, he knew that this special battalion was not his "dish", and he couldn't get pocket money, that is, salary, so he looked at what promotion was all about.

Lu Haoshan said solemnly: "Our Wenchong Qianhu is located in Guangyuan, this is the gateway to Sichuan, the geographical location is very important, and the defense task is also very heavy, you all know that this official kicked out a group of people who are overwhelmed, so there are a large number of vacancies, and the matter of replenishing the source of troops is imminent, so this official asked everyone present to find someone, to find some young people over 16 years old and under 25 years old, of course, to find people, to be healthy, disease-free and pain-free, to pass our test, it is best to have a skill"

"If you can find 10 people, then you can be a small flag, if you can get together enough 56 people, the position of the general flag has your share, if you can pull 112 people, give you a temporary head of 100 households, how to pull the official doesn't matter, the only premise is that the other party must be willing, absolutely not forced, of course, if one person is not enough people, several people can unite, which one is the leader, you discuss it, there is only one chance."
