Zhang Zhongjun stayed in the castle all day long, reading books, and all other tedious affairs were handed over to his 500 militia soldiers.

Occasionally looking up from the books to inspect, Zhang Zhongjun was very satisfied with his decision at that time, he was correct to train soldiers as all-round people, and he didn't see these elite soldiers in wartime, but they were capable little officials in peacetime. It doesn't need to be super big, as long as you can straighten out the affairs and get the affairs done, then it is a very remarkable thing.

There is no need to wonder why Zhang Zhongjun is satisfied with this, you must know that for example, his neighbor, the Barony of Allens, is really responsible for handling the affairs of the territory, that is, the people who can work, and there are only dozens of people in the entire Barony of Allens. This is what the knight of John said personally, if there are no dozens of the most important officials, I am afraid that Baron Allens will understand the chaos, not to mention that the grain tax below cannot be collected, and no one will clean the castle!

And such a cadre who is very important to a force, there are five hundred on his side! Quack, when he heard that an earl county did not have so many capable people, Zhang Zhongjun really couldn't help but laugh proudly.

Since his subordinates are so capable, they can't be regarded simply as soldiers, so during the period when Zhang Zhongjun was still reading, he ordered to select 1,000 young men from the entire territory, and then first gather these 1,000 young men to train for a period of time, and then send these 1,000 young men to 500 subordinates as attendants to learn everything they can learn.

Before Zhang Zhongjun's order to recruit a thousand young people, it was to cause a commotion in the entire territory, no way, the total population of Zhang Zhongjun's territory is only 5,000 people, and most of them are old and weak women and children, it can be said that there are more than 1,000 young people, and now it is strange to take away all these thousand young people and not cause everyone to commotion.

You must know that the general lord takes out the strong, all for the purpose of starting a war, and every time the young man is drawn out, there are heavy casualties, although nominally everyone is Zhang Zhongjun's slave, but they also have a family, seeing that the people in their own family are going to be removed to fight, and if they are not careful, they will be frozen in water, how can they not worry?

But this time the lord's behavior after drawing Ding made the entire territory stunned, first of all, these thousands of young people were personally received by the lord, and then they were given clothes and food, and they were also given a sword, and then they started the training camp, including food and shelter, and he meowed to eat very good food!

Not only sweet bread, but also broth! And it is completely unlimited, and the most excessive is three meals a day!

When the news of these things passed through the attendants in the castle, the whole territory was in turmoil, and everyone's eyes turned red. If it weren't for the 1,000 young men who were conscripted, almost all the families in the entire territory would have been involved, I am afraid that the matter of eating alone would have caused turmoil.

But now that this thousand young men who have something to do with all the families in the territory are in the hands of the lord, and they also enjoy such treatment, then the lords are naturally envious and jealous and emotional, and hatred of this thing does not exist.

In the same way, the reason why the castle attendants and the manor attendants talked about these things very indifferently was because the treatment of these subordinates was actually doubled compared with before, and they used to be hungry and full of black bread. But now they can eat white and tender bread and drink meat soup as they like, and if they perform well, they can get the meat that they can't eat if they are rewarded by the head of the village and the team leader.

The young squire just thought that his lord was merciful and would give so many rewards and such high treatment to the below, but those old people were terrified one by one, because they were afraid that if they met a lord who did not know how to do it, they would eat up the inventory of the territory in a big way!

However, after these old men who carefully reminded them were rewarded with 1 gold coin by the lord himself, and let people take them to admire the situation of the castle and the manor warehouse, these old men became Zhang Zhongjun's diehards one by one!

It's a strange thing to be unfaithful! I just reported my worries, and I was actually rewarded with 1 gold coin, which shows that the lord is a wise person, and the piles of various materials in the warehouse show that the lord of his own family is a wealthy person, such a lord does not swear allegiance, what do you want to do?

At first, everyone was just envious of the 1,000 young men who were well fed, and their families even breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be grateful to the gods of faith, because generally speaking, when the lord recruited peasant soldiers, he would give them food once at a time, and then ignore it. Because the battle of the peasant soldiers is generally only a day's work, it is not a matter of two or three days, and even some lords recruit peasant soldiers just to strengthen the number of people, and once the battle is fought, these peasant soldiers have no effect, and let them break up and go home, so some lords don't even give them food!

Obviously, it is impossible for the families of peasant soldiers to let their husbands and children go to war hungry, so they tighten their belts and save a little food for the peasant soldiers.

And now that his own young man was caught by the lord and raised in the castle, no matter what he did, he didn't need to spend his own family expenses to eat anyway, and with such a big eater, the food in the family would be saved a lot!

Therefore, the people in the whole territory wish that the lord would raise these young men for a longer time, and as for what the lord wants these young men to do, then they will not pay attention to it at all, and these tenant farmers themselves can't even bring their own dry food to fight for the lord, what else can they resist? So whatever the lord does, while there is still food at home, consider whether he should raise another child.

But when Zhang Zhongjun allocated these 1,000 young men who had undergone certain rules and training, one person and two to his 500 subordinates, it directly made the people in the whole territory shake, and those young men cried with joy.

It's very simple, Zhang Zhongjun's five hundred subordinates are responsible for all the things in the entire territory, and they are also the lord's direct cronies, although the number is a little more, but no matter how you look at it, they all have the qualifications to become knights, and now each of them sends two attendants to follow and study, this feeling is even stronger.

You must know that the knight squire, don't look at it as a squire, but in the eyes of the people, the status of the knight squire is even higher than that of some nobles! Because the knight squire has another name, that is, the reserve knight! It is the kind of person whose strength and opportunity have arrived, and he can directly become a knight!
