"Do you want to be a member of the Ming Dynasty?"

The translator standing on the side translated Li Xin's words to the two beautiful fresh girls, became a member of my Ming Empire, and naturally enjoyed all the benefits of my Ming people, there are many, many kinds of benefits, so many that you can't count them with your toes, let's give a few real and simple examples.

For example, the two of you, who are now the commander's woman, are considered military dependents, according to the regulations, one of the family members can be exempted from hard labor, if you want to find a job, you will give priority, the type of work will be better, easier, the salary will be higher than the average person, and the family will receive some food and meat every month every year, which is a real benefit.

If the whole family enters my Daming household registration, the benefits will be more, move directly to the Daming block, live in a newly built building, the block is protected by a special army, and the social status is one level higher than that of the Xian Empire, the officials of the Xian Empire have no power to control you, the Ming Empire is your strong backing, whoever dares to bully you, beat his own mother and can't recognize it.

In a word, entering my Ming nationality, the benefits are too many to count, the social status is superior, and those who deceive me will be punished even if they are far away.

The eyes of the two beautiful fresh girls were sparkling when they heard it, and they were already thrilled before the translator finished speaking, but they didn't dare to make their own decisions, so they had to discuss with their families first.

After getting Li Xin's approval, the two discussed for most of the day before they came to the result, that is, they wanted to go home and discuss with their families first, but they were worried that Li Xin would not agree, and the current identities of the two were a little embarrassing.

"Well, I'll have the guards escort you back, and the things will be ready for you, so early tomorrow morning." Li Xin said generously, and instructed the guards to prepare a large bag of white rice, some meat, a few fine flowers and cloth for the two women, and each gave the two women twenty taels of silver pocket money, these things are really generous for the people of Yizhou City today, you know, during the occupation of the Jin army, but the whole city was looted, even if there was money, it could not buy food.

Entering the Ming household registration and building the Ming block is a small part of the expeditionary army's attempt to occupy Yizhou City, publicizing the various welfare benefits of the Ming people, fooling the people of the Xian Empire to join the Ming Dynasty and become the common people of the Ming Dynasty, plus the people who secretly immigrated over, this number is large, and Yizhou City will naturally become a border city of the Ming Dynasty.

Before the siege of the city, hundreds of Francophone guns bombed indiscriminately, the Dongcheng District was blown up, all the buildings were destroyed, including the Jin soldiers and innocent people, many people were also killed, Li Xin strongly divided the entire east block into the military camp of the expeditionary force, named Daming Street, and built rows of neat houses, leaving the people of the Ming Dynasty who migrated to the Ming Dynasty, as well as those who originally intended to enter the Ming Dynasty household registration of the Xian Imperial people.

For the time being, the propaganda of the people of the Flicker Xian Empire to change into the Ming household registration is still not blatant for the time being, so they can only play secretly, don't want to shoot guns, and can only secretly publicize in private, and these two concubines unknowingly acted as a living advertisement.

Tens of thousands of people of the expeditionary force were stationed in the city of Yiju, and even though Li Xin's restraint on his subordinates was still quite strict, and there were military police patrols wearing red armbands everywhere on the streets, there were still some young men with strong blood and unspeakable things that happened to Xianmei.

The fresh people in the city are short of food, in order to mix food, many young and smart fresh girls set their sights on the expeditionary force, this back and forth talked about free love, fresh sister to pay feelings, the young men of the expeditionary force to pay passion and military salary, this kind of you and I willing, or the two sides of the transaction thing, as long as you don't make a big deal about it, the gendarmes generally close one eye and pretend not to see.

These fresh girls clearly know that when they are with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they will have something to eat, and the soldiers and brothers will also take the opportunity to publicize the change of household registration, so many poor people have secretly entered the Ming household registration, quietly moved into the new building in the east block, and enjoyed a lot of benefits of becoming the people of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally became the subjects of the Ming Empire.

The expeditionary force did not move, only focused on the infrastructure construction, but the fresh officials in the city of Yiju were in a hurry, the Jin army was frantically attacking the Hanyang royal city, a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded every day, the situation was very critical, Li Guozhu's messenger for help came again and again, all urging reinforcements.

Li Xin did not come forward for this kind of sky-high asking price, but threw it to a few cronies around him.

"Forgive me, it's not that our commander doesn't want to send reinforcements, but it's hard to say, alas, ......"

"You don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are? You see, the expeditionary force of 200,000 troops, every day to eat, drink and Lazar is a huge consumption, although I have a lot of land, but I can't afford to toss so much, and the landlord's family has no surplus food. ”

"Have you ever heard of the famous saying that there must be a brave man under a great reward? There is no benefit, the soldiers refuse to move, not to mention let them fight with the murderous Jin soldiers, they are not fools, they are in a hurry, this is dangerous to make a mutiny, Commander Li is also anxious, but there is no way. ”

A few cronies and admirers have leaked the difficulties of the expeditionary force intentionally or unintentionally, there is no free lunch in the world, you can watch it.

The faces of those Xian Imperial officials were ugly, and they gritted their teeth in their hearts, eager to chop up these Ming officials, but they hated it, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, on the contrary, they had to work hard to squeeze out a friendly and lovely smile, no way, who asked them to ask for help?

There is really no way, they can only discuss the total in private, without money and food, the expeditionary force will not move, the city of Yizhou has been robbed by the Jin soldiers, fortunately, some remote counties near Yizhou have not been affected by the war, can only squeeze the rich businessmen in the trenches of these small counties, and scrape together some money and food to save the emergency.

The rich men and merchants of the trenches in several county towns were forced to "donate" a lot of money and grain, and these Xian Imperial officials ate some of it, and used the rest to deal with the expeditionary force, and after some difficult bargaining, the two sides finally negotiated the price.

In fact, the amount of money and grain given by the Xian Empire was far from meeting Li Xin's requirements, but the officials of Yiju City could not be the masters, so they could only owe debts first, and wait until the siege of Hanyang Wangcheng was relieved, and the Jin army was driven away, and then handed it over to Li Guozhu to decide.

Li Xin is not so easy to fool, the money and grain are owed first, but you have to write a contract, the expeditionary force is stationed in the territory of the Xian Empire, the Xian Empire has to be responsible for supplying half of the expeditionary force's grain and grass military expenses, and finally, after some bargaining, the two sides each gave a step, and finally set at 30% of the amount, the two sides happily signed the contract, Li Xin collected the contract, and immediately ordered the army to gather, ready to allocate and reinforce the Hanyang royal city.
