A trace of excitement appeared in Feng Yide's eyes, and he looked excited, and said, "My lord, if the Kuai family wants to buy more farmland, can they increase the grain?"

10,000 stone of grain is naturally not the bottom line of the Kuai family.

Even if there are tens of thousands of more stone grains, the Kuai family can take them out.

Liu Xiu smiled and continued: "Yes, but you have to understand that it is impossible to deduct all the farmland that has been reclaimed. So, first come, first served. ”

Feng Yide nodded, and had a plan in his heart.

When you get back, write to the head of the house and let him decide what to do.

Huang Qi's eyes showed excitement. As a descendant sent by Huang Chengyan, he made a good gift of 100,000 stone of grain to Liu Xiu, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to come up with a solution in a blink of an eye.

There is no doubt that by taking this opportunity, the Huang family can earn more benefits in Youxian.

Pang Kuan said: "The adults are wise, and the grass people admire." The ruler of Youxian is a blessing for the people of Youxian County. ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Pang praised it." ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Carrying out tuntian with work for relief is not only a major matter related to hundreds of people in Youxian County, but this time it is also an opportunity for this official to get rid of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Youxian County. I'll have other plans to get involved. Among them, it may involve your interests, you should stabilize first, don't act rashly, you can find me if you have something, understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Yi Huang Qi and Pang Kuan's minds turned, and their hearts were opened.

As people sent by major families, the three of them are all shrewd people. Liu Xiu wants to work for relief, obviously not only to solve the problems of the people, but also to set a trap to hunt.

The three of them nodded, taking Liu Xiu's warning to heart.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "The three of you go down and prepare, just wait for my notice." ”

"No!"

Feng Yide and the others got up and retreated, and quickly exited the hall.

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a look of excitement, and he said: "Liu Pan doesn't help Zhu Biao, his attitude has been clear. Now, with the support of the Kuai family, the Huang family and the Pang family, the food problem has been solved. Next, it's time to move on to conscription. ”

"Mr. Demin, draw up a notice and put it up at the gate of the city, and the officer will recruit soldiers. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a look of expectation.

"No!"

Kuai Qi nodded, and then immediately went to make arrangements.

Liu Xiu and Ma Liangpang discussed the follow-up plan and acted separately.

On this day, Liu Xiu, as always, took out grain to open a porridge tent in the city, but still did not announce the news of the work-for-relief. At the same time, a notice was posted at the city gate.

Liu Xiu was going to be conscripted, and the news spread quickly in Youxian County.

One thousand conscriptions!

The place of conscription is located in the barracks in the city.

Today's Youxian, because of the famine, coupled with the fact that the previous county commander had no political achievements when he was in office, has dragged down Youxian, making the soldiers in Youxian almost none. Except for a few men guarding the gates, there were no soldiers.

Moreover, there is Liu Pan's garrison in Youxian County, but there is no army in the county.

As soon as Liu Xiu took office, he had to recruit soldiers, and he wanted to seize military power. In this period of food shortage, hundreds of people in the county were hungry. Once conscripted into the army, it means that you can eat your stomach.

For a time, countless people rushed to the gate of the barracks and lined up to enlist.

Liu Xiu took Deng Zhan and Pang Tong to be responsible for the recruitment of army soldiers.

Kuai Qi and Ma Liang are sorting out the government affairs of the county government.

At this time, countless people lined up, all wanting to enlist in the army, from the old man in his fifties and sixties to the children in his twelves and thirteens. Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu couldn't cry or laugh.

These people are not soldiers, they are old people who have come to the army.

Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and instructed, "Tell Yue Shan that the age of conscription is controlled between eighteen and forty years old. The rest of the ages, not at all. This conscription is for the elite, and there is no need for the old, weak, sick and disabled. If it is a special situation, such as being old enough or exceeding, but brave enough and powerful enough, special consideration can be given. ”

"No!"

After Deng Zhan got the order, he immediately arranged it.

Soon, the criteria for selecting soldiers were announced at the camp gate.

Countless old people and children shook their heads and sighed, and many people who were sixteen or seventeen years old, or forty or fifty years old, were dissatisfied and even more lost. Because when there are conditions, it means that they lose the opportunity. However, the hundred private soldiers under Liu Xiu's command stood in formation, and no one dared to disturb. Especially middle-aged people in their twenties and thirties, all of whom are fierce and vicious, are not allowed to be conscripted, so that no one makes trouble.

Deng Zhan's eyes swept over the people who were recruited, and said: "Childe, there are a lot of applicants, many of them are yellow and thin, even if they meet the age group, but their bodies are still too weak." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Choose slowly, choose the age first, and then choose one by one." After the age, if you don't meet the requirements in the end, just give a little food to appease. ”

"Da!

The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came quickly.

Deng Ai came to Liu Xiu's side and arched his hand and said: "Son, the official has come to report, the county Cheng Huo Yun, and the county lieutenant Cen Fei chief bookkeeper Kang He, as well as a group of small officials from the county government asking to see him." ”

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "When the news of the conscription came out, some people couldn't sit still. Deng Zhan, you are in charge of conscription. Remember, be elite. ”

Deng Zhan hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lowly job will be completed." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, took Deng Ai to the carriage, and went to the county office.

In the carriage, Liu Xiu asked: "Xiao Ai, Huo Yun asked to see the officials of the county government, what did you say it was for?" Liu Xiu was allowed to sit in on government affairs or discuss things. It's just that Deng Ai is not allowed to express his views.

Liu Xiu returned in a carriage, and when he was bored, he took the school exam.

Deng Ai thought for a moment, his immature face showed a trace of sophistication that did not match his age, and said with a straight face: "Childe, Xiao Ai thinks that Huo Yun is worried that Childe has an army and poses a threat to him. Therefore, Huo Yun gathered so many officials to prevent Gongzi from conscription. ”

Liu Xiu asked again, "What is the way to stop it?"

After thinking for a while, Deng Ai shook his head and said that he didn't know, and couldn't think of a specific reason.

Liu Xiudao: "After returning to the county office, listen carefully, watch carefully, and think carefully. ”

Deng Ai nodded, and continued to think in his heart.

Back at the county office, Liu Xiu took Deng Ai to the hall. At this time, Huo Yuncen, Fei Kanghe, and a number of officials were all seated in the hall. Seeing Liu Xiu striding over, Huo Yun hurriedly got up and saluted.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

Everyone sat down, Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Qi and Ma Liang below, and then his eyes returned to Huo Yun, and said, "Huo County Cheng summoned the officials of the county government, is there anything wrong?"

Huo Yun Zhengse asked, "The lower official heard that the county order is recruiting. ”

Liu Xiu said: "There is such a thing. ”

Huo Yun's face showed a worried look, and he said in a deep voice: "The county government has no money, how can it afford to raise so many soldiers? It is easy to recruit soldiers, but it is very difficult to raise soldiers, please think twice." ”

Liu Xiu said unhurriedly: "The recruited soldiers are willing to enlist if they have food." So, in a short time, there are no problems. It is also possible to wait for the situation in Youxian County to improve before paying soldiers. ”

Huo Yun's eyes lit up, and when he heard about the food, he said, "The county order said that as long as they have food to eat, there will be no problem?"

Liu Xiu said: "Yes!"

Huo Yun immediately asked, "Could it be that the county order has raised grain?"
