Chen Qiuming walked over and woke up Li Cunmiao and said, "Brother Li, why don't you go to bed?" ”

Li Cunmiao said angrily when he heard this: "If it weren't for waiting for you, Lao Tzu would have gone to sleep a long time ago." ”

Now that he woke up, Chen Qiuming simply asked Li Cunmiao about the latest situation, and Li Cunmiao replied: "According to your instructions, I didn't disturb the people, only the treasury and officials' homes were searched, and the notice you wrote to reassure the people was posted everywhere. ”

Seeing that Li Cunmiao still had some opinions, Chen Qiuming said with a smile: "If you rob too much property and you can't take it away, it will also drag down the mobility of the cavalry, and it is not only a notice to reassure the people, but also a notice to win the hearts of the people and attract talents, if you don't understand it now, you will know the benefits in the future." ”

Li Cunmiao was absolutely convinced of Chen Qiuming, but Jin Jun had never done this before, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it, so he asked again: "How should I plan next?" ”

Chen Qiuming didn't answer and asked: "Did the wolf rider go out?" ”

Li Cunmiao replied: "I will send it out after lunch." ”

Chen Qiuming nodded and said: "Collect information first, and see how the reaction of the Liang Kingdom is before deciding, anyway, don't worry, you rest first, I'll go see if I can recruit some craftsmen and scholars." ”

Li Cunmiao nodded and went to sleep, but Chen Qiuming took a few Li Cunmiao's personal soldiers, carrying two large money boxes, out of the mansion.

According to Chen Qiuming's previous orders, Li Cunmiao had 20,000 cavalry, only 5,000 were stationed in the city, and 15,000 were stationed outside the city, and there were a large number of soldiers on the streets to maintain order.

In the morning, the four city gates were all opened, and the merchants saw the Jin army's security notice, and after making sure that the Jin army really would not disturb the people, they opened their doors to do business, and there were slowly pedestrians on the streets, and the Acropolis slowly regained its popularity.

Seeing Chen Qiuming, the patrolling Jin troops saluted one after another, and last night Chen Qiuming's god-like achievements were rumored to be miraculous, and it was even said that the military division would kill hundreds of people with a sword.

In this era, there is no one who does not admire heroes.

When Chen Qiuming was bored before, he also compiled a "Mass Discipline Manual" for the Jin Army, which did not have many words, similar to Chen Qiuming's previous life, "three disciplines, eight points of attention" and the like, although the vast majority of the Jin army were illiterate, but under the leadership of the officer, they had to recite it aloud every day before eating.

Therefore, the Jin army walked on the street, not only did not commit any offense to the people, but also paid money for buying things, confusing the merchants of the Acropolis, how is this different from the legendary Jin army?

Chen Qiuming walked around the street for a long time, and suddenly walked into a tavern, and the shopkeeper saw Chen Qiuming followed by several sergeants, and his heart suddenly changed, and he hurriedly came over to entertain him in person: "A few military masters, please sit down, what do you want to eat?" ”

Chen Qiuming took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and said: "Good wine and good food look at it, in addition, prepare a big red paper for me, and then borrow pen and ink." ”

Taking the pen and paper sent by Xiao Er, Chen Qiuming wrote on the red paper:

recruit

Today, Zhu Wen dog thieves usurped the throne, so that the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. My Jin Kingdom received the emperor's favor in the next life, and I was determined to destroy the anti-thief Zhu Wen, Kuang Fu Tang Dynasty, and now I want to recruit people of insight who understand the righteousness of the world to participate in the grand event!

Whether it is a scholar who has studied poetry and books, or a skilled craftsman, or a martial artist with strong martial arts, or has another skill, as long as he is hired by our army, he will not only be given ten taels of silver as a settling-in allowance on the spot, but also at least one tael of silver per month, and will be used without discrimination.

After writing it, Chen Qiuming asked the soldiers to post it, borrowed a table from the store, placed it under the notice, and opened the two cash boxes full of silver, waiting for the bait.

There is so much shortage of scribes in the Jin army that even the recruitment of this has to be done by himself, but now Chen Qiuming is idle, he has made up his mind, first of all, literati, secondly, craftsmen, this time we must find a way to get a batch back.

No matter what era it is, if you want to do something big, you must first gather talents.

Under the temptation of money, some people began to take the bait, this one said that I could strike iron, the other said that I could carpentry, and some people even said: "I can make clothes in the next, is it considered a skill?" ”

Although Chen Qiuming was sitting in the tavern drinking, how could the movement outside hide from him? He sent a message to his soldiers: "I will make clothes and leave them behind." ”

The recruitment of craftsmen went smoothly, but neither scholars nor warriors came up to apply.

Although the Tang Dynasty had an imperial examination system, whether it was a scholar or a martial artist, it was basically in the hands of various scholars, and ordinary people had no opportunity to study and practice martial arts.

Chen Qiuming was not in a hurry, waited patiently, and waited until the evening, but there were still no scholars and martial artists to apply, Chen Qiuming sneered, this is a toast and a penalty for drinking!

After placing the recruited craftsmen, Chen Qiuming returned to the mansion, and when he saw Li Cunmiao waking up, Chen Qiuming told him about the general situation in the afternoon.

Li Cunmiao was furious after hearing this, slapped the table and said: "These people are looking for death, so I will let people copy these big families." ”

Chen Qiuming waved his hand and said: "A hundred-year-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, the family of the world is like a huge spider web, which moves the whole body. If you really raid all the families in the Acropolis, your reputation will immediately stink, and it will be even more difficult to clear your name in the future. To deal with this group of scholars, it is necessary to use both grace and power. ”

"Tomorrow, in your name, I will send invitations to all the great families and invite them to come to the mansion, and I will have my own way to deal with them. If someone doesn't come, you can't make an example of the monkey! ”

Li Cunmiao nodded after hearing this, and said, "Just do as you say." ”

The next day, almost all the patriarchs of the Acropolis, large and small, received an invitation from Li Cunmiao, which was written very politely, in the tone of a corporal of Lixian, but many family heads had a headache after receiving the invitation.

Go ahead, I'm afraid that Zhu Wen will be unhappy later; If you don't go, I'm afraid of offending Li Cunqiao now.

There are many scholars visiting each other, and there are even many close families sitting together to discuss, discuss and discuss, and finally most of the scholars choose to go and see, but there are always some people who are hard-headed and just don't go.

In the evening, the original Acropolis Festival made the mansion very lively, and Li Cunqiao set up ten tables in the conference hall according to the number of people, and feasted the head of the whole Acropolis family, but counting the table that was not full, there were still two tables of people who did not come.

Of course, there is no good banquet, Li Cunqiao was too lazy to be polite with these people, and it didn't take long for him to directly explain his purpose.

He stood up and picked up a glass of wine, and said: "Everyone, the Jin Kingdom is a grass creation, aiming to eliminate the anti-thief Zhu Wen and help the Tang Dynasty, and needs a large number of children of the family to help, I hope that the family understands the righteousness and sends more family talents to join my Jin Kingdom, Yazi is grateful, do it first!" ”

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and looked out at the people in the hall.

Seeing this, these heads of the family looked at each other, and most of them still stood up and drank the wine in their glasses, but a very small number of people did not give face and sat upright and did not move.

A cold light flashed in Li Cunmiao's eyes, and Chen Qiuming on the side stood up and said: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang's three brothers, the eldest Zhuge Jin served in the hands of Sun Quan of Wu State, the second Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of Shu State, and the third Zhuge Dan became the general of the Eastern Expedition in Wei State. If the ancients knew how to spread the risk and not put all your eggs in one basket, why should you be foolish and loyal to a tyrannical and unscrupulous man who plots to usurp the throne? ”

"Your concern is nothing more than worrying about the Liang Dynasty settling accounts after the autumn, but what if the entire Acropolis family and every family have people who take refuge in the Jin Kingdom? The law does not blame the public, and no one will dare to embarrass the entire Acropolis clan with this matter at that time. ”

Chen Qiuming's words have aroused many people's thinking, these families first consider the continuation and interests of the family, and there are few families that are desperately loyal to a certain dynasty.

But these people still have concerns, and some people directly said: "If every family has people who take refuge, of course we are not worried, but I am afraid that there are many people who are like what this adult said - foolish loyalty!" Today, the family of the Acropolis has not arrived, right? ”

Chen Qiuming snorted coldly and said: "The prince of the world is kind-hearted and can't bear to kill too much, but under Chen Qiuming, who was born in the Holy Gate, he has no patience to tell you about benevolence, righteousness and morality, don't worry, if you don't come today, there is no need to continue to live in the world in the future!" ”

Chen Qiuming's words were murderous, and although no one here knew him, Chen Qiuming's name had already been like thunder, as the most popular "evil king" Chen Qiuming in the martial arts today, who didn't know, who didn't know?

Li Cunmiao was dumbfounded, big brother, did you say the opposite? Obviously, Lao Tzu wants to burn and loot, but you can't bear to stop it many times, but now you are making such a fierce appearance?

Immediately, I was moved in my heart, knowing that Chen Qiuming intended to maintain his reputation as a benevolent house, and he did not hesitate to bear the notoriety himself, hey, you have good intentions!

As soon as Chen Qiuming's words came out, the next things were much easier, and even if some of the people present were lucky, they felt that Li Cunmiao didn't dare to do anything to them, and when they heard Chen Qiuming's words, they immediately changed their minds.

Temperament is a fart, isn't it good to live well?

In fact, there is a reason why some people don't look down on Li Cunmiao, but under Chen Qiuming's threat, they immediately found a reason for themselves. What if the ancestors of Li Cunmiao's family are not Han Chinese, but the Shatuo tribe, a branch of the Western Turkic people? People have been sinicized for a long time, and they have been given the surname Li, what is the difference between this and our Han people?

As a result, the atmosphere of the banquet that followed was very harmonious, and they talked and laughed with each other, and even many of the heads of the family at the main table patted their chests and promised that they would let the best children of the family come to report tomorrow.

Today's banquet can be said to be a joy for both guests and hosts.

But as soon as the banquet was over, Li Cunqiao's cavalry scattered in all directions, surrounding those families who did not come tonight. This made the other heads of the family who learned the news happily patted their chests, fortunately Lao Tzu went today, otherwise......

That night, many family owners in the Acropolis selected their children overnight, explained well, and went to the Qianjiedu Embassy's mansion early tomorrow morning to report for duty!
