Chapter 466: Giving Salary (Happy New Year!!)
Lin Hu has been standing beside Lin Ze, he is just quietly protecting Lin Ze. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Lin Ze was naming an old soldier, and the military register recorded that this veteran was only forty-five years old, but when the old army came up, Lin Ze seemed to be afraid that he was in his sixties, because the veteran's hair and beard were already gray.
Seeing him like this, Lin Ze sighed in his heart, he understood why this veteran was forty-five years old, but he looked as old as an old man in his sixties, all because of the previous generals, who ate the blood of soldiers.
Lin Ze handed over the food and salary to him with a gentle face, and after taking the food and salary from Lin Ze's hand, the old soldier opened his mouth and laughed, and kept saying words of thanks to the chief soldier, which made Lin Ze very relieved and a little sour in his heart.
At this time, suddenly, Lin Hu on the side said a word: "Whose food do you eat, and who do you sell for your life?"
The old soldier did not hesitate at all, and quickly replied: "The little one eats Lord Lin's food, and the villain's whole family works for Lord Lin, and the chief soldier is safe!"
The old soldier not only said this, but the expressions on his face and eyes all showed that these words of the veteran were his true thoughts in his heart.
Seeing this, Lin Ze sighed again in his heart: "Actually, if you want to get the sincere love of these soldiers, it's very simple, as long as you can really think about them and treat them sincerely, they will also repay their sincerity just to you, isn't this veteran in front of you the best example?!"
Hearing him say this, Lin Hu nodded directly and didn't ask any more.
Seeing this, Jin Yuan and Cheng Huai'an, the deputy Qianhu next to them, glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise and a trace of shame in each other's eyes.
Lin Ze saw it in his eyes, and he just smiled slightly at this and didn't say anything.
There are only more than 500 soldiers left in the Thousand Households in Mozhen, so in just two hours, all the salaries and silver have been issued to each soldier.
Looking at the full amount of silver in his hand, every soldier's face showed a sincere smile.
For the rich, these salaries are indeed in the eyes of the rich, but for these soldiers, they are the dependence of their family to survive.
Looking at the joyful smiles on the faces of these soldiers, Lin Ze's face also showed a smile.........
....................
After all the sergeants' salaries were distributed, the treasury in the Thousand Households in Mozhen was empty, but soon, the situation changed.
The next day, grain trucks entered the Qianhu House in Mozhen from the direction of Huangsha Town, and in the blink of an eye, the treasury of the Qianhu House in Mozhen was filled, and the grain was enough for everyone to eat for three or four months.
Jin Yuan and these people were very surprised in their hearts, now it is a real troubled time, Shazhou is an arid area here, there is not enough food, and it is necessary to enter from Qingzhou, but the rebellion in Qingzhou has cut off this transportation channel, so it is really extremely difficult to get food now.
However, Lin Ze quickly took out so much food, and Jin Yuan and these people suddenly had a new view of Lin Ze's strength, and some of the people in the Thousand Households in Mozhen also began to slowly disappear.
Lin Ze's practice of transporting a large amount of grain also calmed the hearts of the people in the thousands of households in Mozhen.
Seeing so much grain transported to Mozhen, for a while, everyone in Mozhen was at ease, with so much food, then they don't have to worry about any food shortage, it seems that in the future, they can live a good life like the people of Huangsha Town.
That is, from this moment on, the dull and lifeless atmosphere in the Thousand Households of Mozhen was empty, and here, for the first time, there was a burst of vitality, a new vitality!
In just a few days, Lin Ze used iron facts to control the entire Mozhen Thousand Households, and his prestige in the Thousand Households increased rapidly, and now he is walking on the streets of Mozhen, and many people are cheering for him: "Good Lord Lin, Lord Lin will live a long life.......
.........................
The method of full food and salary stabilized the military morale of thousands of households in Mozhen, and the arrival of a large amount of grain stabilized the hearts of the people in Mozhen.
First of all, Lin Ze mobilized the soldiers in the Qianhu House in Mozhen, as well as some people in Mozhen to carry out a thorough cleaning of the entire Qianhu House, inside and outside the house, up and down the streets, and in all the ditches......... , all the places were swept everywhere, and finally hundreds of truckloads of garbage were swept out.
Looking at these mountains of garbage, everyone in Mozhen was also extremely surprised, usually it seemed that there was nothing, but they didn't expect that there was so much garbage around them.
Before, they didn't understand the reason why Lin Ze asked them to do this, but now, after seeing so much garbage, the previous resistance in many people's hearts disappeared in an instant.
Although they don't know the knowledge of life hygiene, and they don't know that the dirty environment will cause them to get sick or something, no one likes to live on garbage, so at this moment, these people are really grateful to Lin Ze in their hearts.
It was Lin Ze who ordered them to clean up that kept them away from the garbage heap!
After this cleaning, everything in Mozhen is clean, especially on the bluestone slabs of several main streets, because some water is scattered, so it is now more refreshing.
Although the people of Mozhen are still in shabby clothes, but walking on the streets that have just been cleaned, their temperament has obviously become different, they have become more vibrant, more confident, and Mozhen has a tendency to quickly become another Huangsha Town.
.........................
While carrying out the cleaning, Qiu Kai and the others were also busy counting the population of Mozhen, and after nearly five days of statistics, they finally finished counting the population of Mozhen.
This, today, Qiu Kai and the others came to the Thousand Households, and brought with them the statistical books of the young and strong Dingkou in Mozhen.
Qiu Kai entered the Thousand Households, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, under Lin Ze's hands, Qiu Kai fully felt the feeling of being reused, so he was very satisfied with his current state in his heart.
As soon as he came to Lin Ze, Qiu Kai made a respectful gesture to Lin Ze, and then said with a smile: "Lord Qiqi, the population statistics of Mozhen have been counted, and there are 55,416 households in Mozhen, including the old and weak, with a population of 238,678 people. Of them were 109,876 men, 65,326 adult males, and 44,550 adult males. There were 128,802 women, 85,402 women in the prime of life, and 43,400 young women. According to statistics, there are a total of 43,658 young and strong men in Mozhen........... ”
Qiu Kai reported the detailed population in Mozhen to Lin Ze one by one, and the most important number of soldiers was even more detailed.
Lin Ze nodded, very satisfied in his heart, and then he took the population level book and looked at it carefully, which recorded the population of Mozhen in detail, and Lin Ze was very satisfied with the number of about 230,000 people in Mozhen.
In troubled times, many people thought that food and the army were the most important things, but Lin Ze knew that population was everything.
Only with enough people can you have enough people to farm, and then, get a lot of food, only with enough people, you can recruit enough soldiers to conquer the city for you, only with enough people, you can attract a large number of people to your territory and serve you........
Therefore, talent is everything, and it is everything that you can gain a firm foothold in troubled times!
Lin Ze carefully looked at the population grade book, in this matter, Qiu Kai understood Lin Ze's thoughts very well, so he was still very careful in his work, the year of each household, whether he was in the army or not, how many men and women, how many men and women, and so on, this information was remarked in detail one by one, and all the situations of all families in Mozhen were clear at a glance, and it can be seen from this that Qiu Kai is indeed a very capable person.
After reading it for a while, Lin Ze carefully put aside the population book, and then said with a little unfinished: "Qiu Kai, the number of people in Mozhen is still small!"
Qiu Kai stood next to him and nodded and said: "Indeed, my lord, the population here in Mozhen is indeed very small, if you want Mozhen to become a barrier to Huangsha Town, we have to increase the population of Mozhen, so that we can have enough soldiers!"
Lin Ze nodded, and then said: "Qiu Kai, increase the recruitment of homeless people, now Shazhou is full of homeless people, it is the time for us to expand our strength, Mozhen is also starting to develop now, how many homeless people come, they are all digested here, so, Qiu Kai, let go and recruit homeless people!"
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand!" Qiu Kai replied excitedly.
How to solve the population problem is actually very simple, that is, to recruit a large number of displaced people in the sandbar.
Lin Ze didn't dare to do this before, Lin Ze was still a hundred households at that time, if you recruit tens of thousands of homeless, the people above won't say anything, but if you recruit hundreds of thousands, or even millions of homeless, the people above will definitely do something to Lin Ze immediately.
What do you want to do with a small hundred households and so many homeless people?
Therefore, at that time, Lin Ze did not dare to let go of his hands and feet to recruit homeless people.
However, now that Lin Ze is already the identity of the chief soldier, this restriction no longer exists.
