Chapter 122 - How to Make Money
"Dao Chief, now the recruits from all over the country have been sent over, although the number of people has not reached 500,000, but there is not much difference, I am afraid that the rest of the people will continue to recruit slowly, after all, the young people in the vicinity of Kunming and Chuxiong have basically been recruited by Dao Chief," Li Chuan looked at Zhang Yundao with a look of awe.
Li Chuan had to be respectful, although as Li Dingguo's cronies, he was ordered to bring 50,000 horses to assist this Taoist leader, which can be said to be a high authority!
But he has never seen a lord who spent tens of millions of taels of silver just to recruit soldiers, and he can still take it.
This is only the settling-in fee paid for recruitment, and in order to support this army in the future, I am afraid that it will cost more, and even Li Dingguo, who is in Sichuan, has moved his mind after hearing about it......
Forget it, the key is that this Taoist master's skills are simply invincible!
Zhang Yun looked at Li Chuan, who had a cautious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Have you indiscriminately filled the numbers, have you recruited people over 20 years old?" ”
Li Chuan shuddered in his heart, remembering the fate of the person who embezzled money before, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "No, no ......"
"Dao Chief, Li will tell you the truth, Li doesn't know if the people below are cheating or not, but Li himself has absolutely not embezzled any of your silver or two."
"Humph!"
Regarding Li Chuan's words, Zhang Yun only gave a cold snort, what to say, he didn't embezzle his own money, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open and fooling himself?
At this time, Zhang Yun had been in Yunnan for more than two months, and for such a long time, the 50,000 horses under Li Chuan's command had already captured the entire territory of Yunnan.
Knocking on his head, Zhang Yun remembered the hard work of the past two months, as much as tens of millions of taels of silver, and he slaughtered thousands of families before he finally raised it with great difficulty!
The hardships during this period were simply hell mode, and even in the later period, almost everyone in the families of the southwestern provinces had a large-scale archery at home, so several times, Zhang Yunke came back with injuries.
But what Zhang Yun didn't expect was that Li Chuan's gang embezzled money, and they dared to cheat for the sake of quotas......
When Zhang Yun personally went to the camp on the outskirts of Kunming to inspect, well, the old man with a gray beard, those old fritters dared to say to himself, the other party was only 18 years old!!
Suddenly, the angry Zhang Yun immediately made a ruthless move, that is, the Li Chuan in front of him, Zhang Yun wanted to give Li Dingguo face, and he didn't move him much, but for other people, Zhang Yun was directly concentrated at that time, thousands of middle and lower-level officers who were the blackest, and then directly pulled out their swords and rushed forward......
Thousands of bloody corpses finally shocked tens of thousands of people, and since then, the recruitment work has gone much smoother.
But now that Li Chuan ran over and said that the soldiers and horses had been recruited, Zhang Yun suddenly felt a little up and down in his heart......
But the ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws after all, no matter what kind of birds these birdmen have done, they still need to take a look, and if they can't do it, they will overturn it and start over!
Thinking about this, Zhang Yun immediately said: "Lead the way, but I want to see if there is anyone who dares to risk their lives to embezzle money." ”
"If you are really seen by Poor Dao for something incredible, Li Chuan, don't think that Poor Dao will not dare to kill you, think about the scene in the military camp a few days ago!"
Li Chuan, who barely kept his composure, recalled the original scene, and after a stirring spirit, he hurriedly said: "There will be no more such things, to tell the truth, the group of birdmen under Li Mou, now I am afraid they will only dare to attack the food expenses, as for the settlement fee, Li believes that they are not so bold to dare to turn over the ......"
"Enough!"
Zhang Yun hated his chatter and had to interrupt.
Seeing this, Li Chuan could only stop his mouth, and honestly led the way......
As the old saying goes, 'one person exceeds 10,000, and there is no boundary', but what is presented in front of Zhang Yun at this moment is hundreds of thousands of people densely packed together.
If someone with a phobia of density sees this scene, I'm afraid they will immediately get goosebumps......
Perhaps seeing that Zhang Yun's face was unhappy, Li Chuan hurriedly smiled and said: "Dao Chief, do you want Li to disband all these people, leaving only a few of them......"
Before Li Chuan finished speaking, Zhang Yun waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said, "No need, Poor Dao is about to go down and take a good look at every face, and by the way, see if anyone is looking for death." ”
Ignoring Li Chuan's dead face, Zhang Yun jumped and flew off the platform, no matter how much he said, it was better to do it!
If you don't take a look with your own eyes, Zhang Yun will never be able to rest assured, you must know that this is a precious army recruited back by tens of millions of taels of silver, if they cheat again, Zhang Yun will have the heart to cry!
Anyway, in terms of my own eyesight, I don't need to look at everyone, I just need to look at it one by one, and everyone's face can basically be seen, and it doesn't take much time......
When Zhang Yun's figure walked a little farther, a group of officers of the Great Western Army surrounded Li Chuan and chattered for a while, Li Chuan summed up their meaning, in the final analysis, it was a sentence, why didn't Zhang Daochang play cards according to the routine?
At first, Li Chuan saw that he should have a few words for the sake of the same lineage, but as time passed, when someone asked him the same question repeatedly, Li Chuan finally broke out.
"How does Lao Tzu know what Zhang Daochang wants to do......
After a big fire, looking at the silent subordinates, Li Chuan couldn't help but ask, "You didn't make another move on the settlement fee, did you?" ”
As soon as Li Chuan's words came out, he immediately found that the battalion officers surrounding him all had different faces, and immediately understood something, and said with hatred: "Those hard conditions stipulated by Daochang Zhang, height, age, ...... Wait, have you ever done it again? ”
"No, no, it's not true, it's just ......" Xu Bao knew that this might involve his life, so he hurriedly rushed to say.
Li Chuan looked at Xu Bao, the head of the small battalion who spoke, with some curiosity, but then looked at the remaining forty or so battalion leaders who had been keeping their heads down, and their faces turned black in an instant!
Taking a breath, Li Chuan scolded with some hatred: "There are many ways to want money, and the rules given by Zhang Daochang are not without loopholes, but you, hey!" ”
Li Chuan, who was almost angry, looked at the dozens of heads in the back of his head, only Xu Bao raised his head high, and finally found a trace of comfort in his heart, and immediately pointed at Xu Bao and said, "Tell me, why didn't you reach out to those silver?" ”
As soon as Li Chuan's words fell, Xu Bao found that the eyes of dozens of colleagues were all looking at him with hatred on their faces, and he couldn't help but secretly complain!
I thought that I was also shocked by the methods of the Taoist master at the beginning, so I didn't accompany a group of colleagues to make peace with the light, but I didn't expect that now because of General Li's words, he actually attracted the resentment of his colleagues!
But the words of the main general can't help but reply, so Xu Bao, who was up and down in his heart, hesitated a little, and immediately said tentatively: "As the general said, there are many ways to get money, for example, Zhang Daochang stipulated that people over 20 years old should not be, but what is the difference between 20 years old and 30 years old, and there are not too many people who come for the high settlement fee, and the humble position only needs to hint a little in it, the money ......"
When Xu Bao said this, not only Li Chuan showed a hint of surprise, but there were not a few dozens of officers above the battalion level who slapped their thighs on the scene, and those with annoyed expressions made Xu Bao want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the atmosphere on the stage was a little weird for a while!
