Chapter 121: Recruit Selection

"Lord Lin is going to select soldiers again and expand the military household!"

The news of Lin Fei's expansion of the army was quickly transmitted in Pingxingdun, and now Pingxingdun has attracted more and more displaced people to come because of its rapid development, looking for opportunities to join, whether it is a civilian household or a military household, it is the object of everyone's covetousness, especially the military household, which changed everyone's impression of the Ming Dynasty's military household, because under Lin Fei's command, the military household is glory and status is a symbol of the rich family!

Now Lin Fei has expanded the army, which means that those who can participate in Lin Fei's army can become military households, which is a huge opportunity for everyone up and down Pingxingdun!

Of course, not only are many young and strong people who want to participate in the army entrance examination, but those households who failed last time are even more unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

The treatment of military households is too good, not only in the question of how many percent of the tax exemption on the fields, but in other aspects, under the same ability and equal requirements, the military households have an advantage, and only after the needs of the military households are met, it will be the turn of the civilian households, and then it will be the turn of the rest of the people.

Becoming a military household in Pingxingdun, for many people, means that they have a day to reach the sky, have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and become a rich man with taste.

Therefore, on the day of the selection of joining the army, countless young people who consciously met the requirements were enthusiastic to join the army, and the officers who were responsible for the conscription were shocked, they knew that the Pingxingdun army was attractive to anyone, but they didn't expect that it was so attractive!

Lin Fei levied the top ten this time, a total of 120 recruits, but there were more than 2,000 people who came to sign up, and at a glance, these people were all strong and strong, and they were all good seedlings that could be cultivated.

Of course, there are also a lot of crooked melons and cracked dates that are also mixed in, holding the idea of luck, but the conditions for the selection of the Pingxingdun army have always been based on meeting the expected goals.

That is to say, one hundred and twenty people were selected to join the army this time, so the most elite ones were selected from more than 2,000 people.

Among these conditions, physical fitness is only the preliminary selection criteria for shortlisting, and the specific will be reflected in various tests, the most important point is to remove those oils and select qualified children from good families.

Moreover, in a household, the only child also needs to be eliminated first, after all, what Lin Fei needs is a soldier who can go to the battlefield at any time, not to destroy people's families.

As a result, after a strict selection and selection, more than 200 people finally met the standards, which made the officers in charge of the selection a headache, and in desperation, they had to report the matter to Lin Fei.

"Oh, according to such conditions, there are still more than 200 people?"

Lin Fei was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that under such strict requirements, there were so many seedlings who met the conditions, which made him very happy, and immediately found the general ledger room to calculate the assets he has now, and after the future income, he waved his hand and said directly: "Then these two hundred and nineteen people, all of them will be selected, since the people support us so much, then we can't let the people down!" ”

Lin Fei's words made the officers very happy at the moment, and in this way, it meant that the expanded troops were more than before, and they could rise to the top.

However, in this way, it also gave Li Mingyuan, who managed the account room, a little headache, Lin Fei has always been generous to soldiers, and his monthly military salary is as high as five taels of silver, which is much higher than that of those workers, and this is still the treatment of soldiers who have participated in training and qualified, if they make war exploits or other rewards.

Moreover, expanding so many troops at one time means that the logistical pressure will also increase, and a large amount of money will be invested in various equipment and other expenditures.

These add up, the cost of a month is as high as more than three thousand taels, and now that the various workshops are still under construction, these silver consumptions make Li Mingyuan feel dizzy.

However, I thought that this time the owner had negotiated a large business, and the soap produced every month was enough to reach more than 100,000 yuan, and these silver taels were enough to ensure the current large expenditure.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyuan's face looked much better.

"In addition, let the craftsman head Masen, continue to step up the production of Mini rifles, the preparation of fixed ammunition, and the progress of researching breech rifles can not be stopped, I can afford how much money is needed, if you want people, you will continue to recruit me in the town side fort, and if the town side fort is not enough, send people to Datong, Taiyuan, or even go to the capital to recruit me, we must ensure that there are enough manpower!"

The soap trade is now a cash cow in Lin Fei's hands, with a lot of money in hand, Lin Fei will not be stingy with spending at all, and he is definitely willing to contribute money where he should invest.

Now Pingxingdun is developing rapidly, and all kinds of workshops, farms, farms, and armies are spending a lot of money, but the profits of the soap industry are amazing, enough to ensure Lin Fei's current expenses.

And having seen the modern industrial age, in Lin Fei's eyes, these are nothing at all, just a small fight.

In the future, his goal is to expand the army by tens of thousands, or even 100,000 troops, so that he can sweep the world!

Of course, to achieve this goal, Lin Fei still needs to work hard!

At present, there are only more than 200 troops, and the monthly standing expenses need more than 3,000 taels of silver, and with the damage to weapons and equipment, and the rest of the daily expenses, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver every month.

This is just the cost of the army, plus the rest of the aspect, this cost is even more amazing, now the soap industry has just started, and it can only be maintained, and any more will have a great impact on Lin Fei's sustainable development.

He is not reckless, but this time the selection standards he set are so high, and he can collect such good seedlings, Lin Fei naturally can't refuse.

And in this way, the army can be expanded to nineteen armor, plus the strength of five armor that you already have, and the strength of twenty-four armor, you will be much more relaxed in dealing with various situations!

The recruits were soon selected to enlist, and their families have become military families, enjoying the treatment of various military families, of course, it is only to be determined now, whether they can become real military families, but also depends on the performance of their respective sons, and only after three months of arduous recruit military training, can really persevere, become qualified soldiers in Pingxingdun, they will really become Pingxingdun military households!

Three-month recruit training, this is the assessment standard set by Lin Fei, recruit training is mainly based on basic training, and then they will be further selected and selected into suitable military camps.

In the future, Lin Fei will continue to form various formal arms, and gradually create a regular army that belongs to his own system!
