A lot has happened in the town of Sadrand in the last two months. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To be exact, a lot has happened in the county since the arrival of the Lord of Sadland, or the Lord of Sadland. First of all, the Northwest Army increased taxes to subsidize military spending, causing many complaints from the residents in the county, and there was even a small bloodshed.

Soon, however, the county warden announced that the county would be exempted from taxes for one year, and that he had sent farm tools, cattle, horses, and other supplies to his subordinate towns to encourage the homeless to return and farm. At least the peasants in Sadrand were extremely grateful to him, and many places were grateful to him when they learned that the new county keeper was exempt from taxes and distributed farm tools, cattle and horses free of charge, and that the spring ploughing had been completed in time.

Soon afterward, the county changed the commercial tax law, attracting a large number of caravans, which naturally and indirectly promoted the commerce of the county seat of Sadland. Many shops also gained a lot of business opportunities, and those caravans naturally had to be replenished in the town of Sadeland, which also brought a certain commercial prosperity. At the same time, the county keeper announced the establishment of a workshop in the county town, recruited a large number of homeless craftsmen, and provided relatively good treatment, and those craftsmen were naturally grateful to Jose.

However, compared to these policies, there are still too many displaced people in the city, and the population of Sadrand County has exceeded 100,000 people, while the permanent population of the original county town is only 60,000 or 70,000. The sudden influx of people naturally caused certain problems, the price of food in the shops rose again and again, and those who did not live in the places where the influx of people could only sleep on the streets of the county town, and the streets in the east of the city were almost occupied by homeless people for a few days.

The displaced people were landless Moxi, and although Jose's edict also encouraged spring ploughing, it could only help the farmers who lived in Sadrand. And even if these people poured into the subordinate towns, it would not be possible for them to settle down and buy homes immediately. Therefore, these unemployed homeless people can only flock to the Sadrand county town to try their luck, whether it is to work as servants for the rich and noble, or as a coolie or other odd work, as long as they can support themselves, it is already very good.

However, Sadrand is only a county town, and tens of thousands of people have poured in at once, and most of the ordinary nobles and gentry in the city have migrated to Guannai during the war, so the population demand is naturally not much. This has caused social instability for the homeless and homeless people who have nothing to do, who are gathered in the county town of Saddland and have no work to do.

Fifty or sixty percent of the displaced people who can pour into Sadrand from nearby counties are young and middle-aged, and those who are old, weak, sick and disabled are not able to toss back and forth like this. Although these guys are homeless, in the city of Sadland, they are always prone to trouble and trouble, which makes the garrison in charge of security also a great headache. After all, only a few of these homeless people can find work in the town of Sadland, and the rest of the guys can only do some stealing and stealing in order to make a living.

In just a few days, the number of crimes in the city has increased several times, and those homeless people either do some petty theft, or beg for food along the streets, and some are so bold that they even take advantage of the darkness to directly rob the shops, and several shops in the south of the city are so frightened that they close their doors early before dark, which naturally caused a lot of trouble for Sadland.

As the head of the security army, Alok naturally felt a little tricky about how to deal with these homeless, but Gray, the deputy governor of the county garrison, ignored this. At first, Alok wanted to transfer troops from Gray's garrison to relieve the pressure on the security army, but Gray's guy looked like he didn't think it was a big deal, and deliberately made excuses to shirk, just refusing to send troops to help Allock.

Jose naturally saw these things, but he only snorted coldly in his heart: although Gray was nominally the deputy commander of the garrison of the county town of Sadland, most of the two banner regiments under his command were veterans of the Northwest Army, except for some of Gould's old troops. Where these guys are their subordinates, it is clear that Ronctor is placed in the town of Sadrand to monitor and control himself. Hmph, what's the use of having such an army yourself, and what's the use of raising such an army in the county of Sadland?

Soon, there was an additional notice on the sign under the county guard's mansion that read, "Detailed Notice on the Recruitment of the First Garrison of the County of Sadrand". Although this title is written in a bit of a crepe, the content is very simple and clear: Viscount Sadland announced that we are recruiting new troops in the county town of Sadland, and all young and strong men who are interested can register at the recruitment office in the east of the city tomorrow morning, and once they are qualified to enlist, they will be treated preferentially.

First, those who are recruited to recruit qualified enlistments will be incorporated into the garrison of Sadrand County and become official soldiers of the Empire!

Second, the term of service in the new army is indefinite, with a maximum of 10 years. Within three years, each soldier was paid two gold coins per year, and the rank of the officer was increased. After three years, the soldiers' salaries increased by 30% per person each year, and the officers increased according to their ranks.

Third, there is no limit to the period of military service, the age of enlistment is between the ages of 18 and 48, and those who have served for more than 10 years will be paid five times the military salary of the current year, and those who have served for more than 20 years will be paid 10 times the military salary of the current year, and so on.

Fourth, all enlistment registrations must be from Sadrand and its surrounding counties, and those who do not have any criminal records are preferred, and those who are in good health are preferred.

As soon as these regulations were announced, many unemployed homeless people were moved, and although this kind of treatment was not very generous, it was even higher than that of the Northwest Army. You must know that although many towns in Moxi are the main sources of troops of the Northwest Army, compared with the imperial capital and some armies in the south of the empire, the treatment of the Northwest Army is a little worse.

After all, in a place like Moxi, which is not rich in the first place, even the treatment of a profession like being a soldier is definitely not as good as that of those rich provinces and regions. Therefore, Qiao Se deliberately raised the salary, on the one hand, to attract displaced people to enlist in the army, and on the other hand, he faintly wanted to compare the Northwest Army.

It's not a shame on Jose, because for for those who are homeless, being a soldier seems to be a good way out of the way to go than to wander the streets of Sadland and survive!

At least being a soldier can have enough to eat, and there is a good salary, although there is a certain danger, but it is much better than starving to death on the street one day.
