Zhao Hanzhang handed over the two envoys of the county government to Zhao Ming, took Zhao Erlang and returned to Shangcai.

She directly set up a table on the official road into Shangcai, and asked people to carry two baskets of money and a cart of grain on the side of the road, and directly beat the gongs and drums to recruit soldiers.

The refugees passed by and stopped to watch.

Alone, I didn't want to ask about the conditions for recruiting the army, and I learned that as long as I was young, obedient, and willing to endure hardships, I would do it.

Of course, if you have a skill, or if you are strong, can ride a horse, know kung fu, and have great strength, no matter what your specialty is, as long as you have it, not only will your military salary be higher, but your status will also be higher.

Ji Yuan sat beside her and recruited troops with her.

Because of the large number of people who fled, Zhao Hanzhang not only recruited bachelors, but also those who dragged their families, and promised that he would arrange for them to cultivate the fields and have food to eat every month.

Yes, those who come here resolutely do not become tenant farmers, and even Zhao Hanzhang said that they don't want to give them land, they only do long-term work, or directly sign a death deed, and let them do anything, as long as they ensure that their family has food.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't understand this, and took advantage of the fact that Ji Yuan took over the recruitment of soldiers, so she squatted next to a newly recruited soldier and asked, "Just now I said that I would send you fields, why aren't you moved at all?" ”

When the soldier saw Zhao Hanzhang, he immediately got up to salute, but Zhao Hanzhang stopped him, "Sit and say, sit and say, don't be polite." ”

The soldier also squatted down and said cautiously: "The little one feels that it is good to be a slave, as long as he works hard, he will have something to eat, and he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood anymore." ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "With your own land, wouldn't it be more to work hard and reap more?" ”

Bing shook his head, "I also have land at home, a total of twenty-eight acres, but it's useless." ”

Zhao Hanzhang was surprised, "How can it be useless?" ”

"I can't live anymore," he said: "Yingchuan began to dry in the autumn last year, and the autumn harvest was less grain, and as a result, there was a snow disaster in winter, and a lot of winter wheat was directly frozen to death." ”

"There hasn't been much rain since the beginning of spring this year, and we knew at the time that this year was sad, as soon as the snow melted, there were no ten wheat, and the weather was very dry, and those who barely survived were half dead, and we couldn't change them to spring wheat or plant rice."

He said: "There is no water at all, we even have a problem with draft, not to mention farming, the yamen still has to pay summer tax and autumn tax, I have sold my wife, a son and a daughter, and now there is only this one and my father, and I can't sell it anymore." ”

"I have figured it out, we can't farm the land by ourselves, we still have to take refuge in the big landlords, we will work to get grain, and the taxes and grain are still paid by the landlords, and we can live as long as we are obedient." After a pause, Bing asked Zhao Hanzhang, "Girl, if I die in battle, will you really support my father and son as you said?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked at his dark and sad face, he didn't say anything, she couldn't tell that he was only twenty-two years old, he looked like he was in his forties, and his temples were a little white.

She nodded and said, "Since I have signed the death contract, then you are all my people, and I will naturally raise you." ”

He didn't know if he believed it or not, anyway, he was relieved, and said with a smile: "The girl is a good person." ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and got up with a heavy heart.

There are many people who think the same way as him, and they would rather sign a death deed, or sign a living deed to become a long-term worker, and they don't look at the tempting conditions she puts forward, such as giving away land and renting land cheaply, and only ask about the wages or food they can get every month.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed faintly, sat beside Ji Yuan and said, "The world is difficult. ”

Ji Yuan turned his head to look at her, and said indifferently: "There is no way, heaven will punish you, this is no way." ”

"Heavenly punishment?" Zhao Hanzhang muttered, "Is this really a natural disaster and a man-made disaster rushing together, is it because of the Xiaoice period in the northern hemisphere?" ”

Ji Yuan didn't hear clearly, turned his head and asked, "What did the girl say?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I sigh in my heart, in such a difficult time, if there is no stable situation, the people are afraid that it will be difficult for them to survive such a natural disaster."

Ji Yuan muttered, "The Sima family has to have a genius." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "How many talents can suppress so many careerists in the Sima family?" Alas, so there are too many people in the clan, and it's not good to divide it too widely. ”

Ji Yuan thought so, and was about to have an in-depth discussion with Zhao Hanzhang, when he saw the carriage running over, he immediately stopped talking and whispered: "Girl, the order of Chai County is here." ”

Zhao Hanzhang turned his head, and then saw the carriage coming from the side and behind.

As soon as the car stopped, before it was stable, the Chai County Order hurriedly helped Chang Ning's men down.

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang and there were many people lined up in front of them, all of them were people who came to take refuge, and there were many people standing around, he hurriedly picked up his robe and trotted over, "Sanniang, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and got up and saluted, "County Jun, I'm recruiting." ”

"You, how can you raise an army?"

Zhao Hanzhang immediately took out the recruitment order to show him, "I'm not a private placement, I'm ordered to recruit soldiers, you see." ”

Chai County Order opened it, but I didn't expect Assassin Shi to really give her a recruitment order, and she was speechless for a while, "Then, that can't be recruited in my Shangcai County, it is clearly written that Xiping County is authorized to recruit soldiers, and Sanniang should recruit troops in Xiping County." ”

"Isn't this the only time Xiping County has fought a war, and there aren't so many people?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Don't worry, I won't rob your people, so I set up a platform at the intersection to recruit troops, all the refugees come here, and now Shangcai County can't collect so many refugees, right?" ”

"Oh," Che Xian Ling stomped his foot, "not only refugees, but also our people from Shangcai County." ”

"Impossible," Zhao Hanzhang said righteously: "They have land and a home here, how good it is to be good citizens, who will come to be a soldier and sell themselves to be a subordinate?" ”

"It's not for tax evasion," Che County Ling looked around, and quickly found someone, "That, that, and those are all thorns, and they fled if they couldn't pay their taxes, but I didn't expect them to come to Sanniang." ”

He said: "I won't stop you from recruiting these refugees, but you can't recruit people from Cai County, you set up a table here, and the people in the county heard the wind and moved, and many people came." ”

Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I don't know that they are from Shangcai, they say that they are from Yingchuan, and they escaped from Canyang, so I believe it, how do I know that they will lie to me?" ”

The Che County Commander asked tentatively: "Then Sanniang handed them over to me to take back?" ”

Give it to the Chai County Order to bring it back, and if you don't die, you can go to half a life, according to the law, tax evasion, beheading, and imprisonment for the light.

Instead of going to prison, it is better to go and farm with her.
