Chapter 55: Double Reeds
"You did the right thing, Liu Cheng is such a fierce general, I don't want to lose, I need to be appeased as necessary, but I can't listen to his words.
Let him recruit soldiers for training first, observe him for a period of time, see how he behaves during this time, and then make a conclusion.
Weapons and equipping these things, don't rush to give it to him first. ”
Dong Zhuo, who had only been in Luoyang for a few months, was getting more and more obese, and after touching his proud, round belly, he said to Li Ru in a loud voice......
……
Liu Cheng naturally didn't know that he was recruiting troops here at this time.
Liu Cheng is not familiar with Lu Yang, Li Jin, who was born in the Cheng clan and has been the lieutenant of Zhongmu County, is very proficient in this, so Liu Chengcheng handed over the leadership to him this time.
Li Jin chose a place with dense villages, a large threshing floor, and asked people to slaughter a big fat pig that was transported with the team on the spot, disemboweled, and made a fire to cook.
While doing these things, some other people were arranged to take official documents with seals to the surrounding villages to inform them about the recruitment.
One of the most important points is that after applying, there will be 800 yuan a month, and if you die in battle, you will have 10,000 yuan of burned silver.
"First, did you say there were many people who came to apply?"
Liu Cheng looked at the surrounding villages for a while, and saw that there was still no big movement, and Liu Cheng, who had never recruited soldiers for a while, was a little bottomless.
"Lieutenant just rest assured, the soldiers and horses recruited on weekdays are generally five hundred yuan, and at most six hundred yuan.
The money burned and buried is only 5,000 yuan at most.
Now that the lieutenant has set the price at the same high price, there must be a lot of people who come to apply.
For many poor people, life is not valuable, money is a good thing.
Now that they are recruited, they can get 800 yuan a month, and even if they unfortunately die in battle, they can still earn 10,000 yuan for their family, and they don't have to worry about family problems. ”
Li Jin said with a smile and Liu Cheng.
Then he said: "Captain, your price is set a little high, five hundred yuan a month, five thousand yuan for the death of the battle, and a large number of people will apply." ”
Liu Cheng shook his head and refused: "10,000 yuan, at this time, you can only buy four big pigs." This is human life, and it is worth more than the lives of animals. ”
Li Jin clasped his fists at Liu Cheng and saluted: "Du Wei is benevolent and righteous, he will definitely be able to recruit a good son, Li Jin is here, thank you for all the soldiers first!" ”
……
What Li Jin said is not wrong at all, human life in this era is really worthless.
After hearing about Liu Cheng's ultra-high recruitment price and confirming that this thing was true, soon a lot of people rushed to the place where Liu Cheng and the others were, and enthusiastically joined the army.
Of course, in addition to these, it also has some meat on it, a lot of wild vegetables, and some rice that has not been washed and started to boil directly, which is also super attractive.
"Don't be in a hurry! As long as it is someone who comes, even if it can't join the army, it can still receive a bowl of steaming meat porridge! I, Liu Kede, am the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, a relative of the Han family, and my words must count! ”
Liu Cheng stood on top of several sacks of grain, and shouted at the top of his throat.
His loud voice, at this time, once again played its due role.
suppressed the noisy voices of these many people, and clearly transmitted the words to the ears of everyone present.
The elderly people who were obviously here to eat and drink, as well as some hungry children who were sucking their fingers, immediately let out a burst of cheers after hearing Liu Cheng's words.
They had never seen such a generous person as they!
Some young men who were still hesitant to join the army immediately made up their minds to join the army.
Because they feel that this is for Captain Liu, and he is so generous to these fathers and children in his hometown who can't join the army, so when the time comes to the army, it won't be too bad to treat himself and others!
Looking at the registration site, which became more enthusiastic all of a sudden, Li Jin gave Liu Cheng a thumbs up.
This is a new way of praising people that he has learned from Liu Cheng these days......
"The one who provides you with free meat porridge today, and provides your fathers, brothers, and sons with such a high recruitment treatment, is the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, the Marquis of Chenggao Pavilion, Liu Cheng Liu Kede!
Don't forget to dig wells, you are gracious, don't ask you to repay it, at least you have to remember the name of the benefactor!
What is good to you today is Cheng Gao, Liu Cheng, Liu Xuande! ”
In the afternoon, the matter of recruiting soldiers was completely over, and everyone present also ate meat porridge.
Even based on the fact that later, Liu Cheng saw that some old people and children were greedy and pitiful, so he specially boiled some more, added meals to them, and let them have a good meal.
Of course, Liu Cheng didn't say what he said just now, and if he said these words, the effect would be somewhat reduced.
But when he was preparing to leave, Lu Yang, the guy who followed Liu Cheng all the way, jumped onto a donkey cart, stood there, and shouted at everyone present.
Seeing this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but secretly praise Lu Yang, and secretly said that this guy would come to trouble.
Then he changed color and reprimanded Lu Yang with displeasure: "What are you doing here?!"
I, Liu Cheng Liu Kede, just invited the villagers present to eat a coarse tea and light meal, which is not enough to worry about, and you are also worth taking it out to say?
I, Liu Cheng, Liu Kede, after the dignified King Jing of Zhongshan, am I the kind of person who asks for rewards for kindness? Hugh will say the same thing in the future! ”
Lu Yang understood, nodded again and again, indicating that he had done something wrong.
After such an operation, many people were moved by the benevolent and benevolent Han clan in front of them.
This is called Liu Cheng Liu Kede's Han clan relatives, he is really a rare good official, there are not many officials who are willing to show grace to the people in these years, and there are even fewer officials who do not ask for anything in return!!
It's not that Liu Cheng has done many things, but when he is set off by his peers, it suddenly stands out......
