Speaking of this, he smiled again and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that Master Chen hasn't been given a monthly salary yet?"

Chen Mou hurriedly said: "The minister is willing to be like Lord Cao, not to seek high-ranking officials, but to serve His Royal Highness with all his heart." ”

Fang Ling stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said earnestly: "The ancients are cloudy, out of the mud but not stained, rich and noble but not arrogant, to be a clean official, clean in the heart, if this king allows the Qing officials to live in poverty, how can he be worthy of being the king of this fiefdom? I only hope that in the future, when the country is strong and the people win, and the high-ranking officials are generous, they can still maintain this pure heart." ”

"The ministers will obey His Royal Highness's teachings!" Chen Mou arched his hands, with a look of admiration on his face, although the prince is small, he can understand the people's hearts, treat the side ministers well, and know more about the truth that it is difficult to fight the country and defend the country.

There are more than 2,000 people in the county, almost 400 households, each family is about 5 people, and there are generally one or two young adults in the family.

In about half an hour, more than 500 young adults have found their respective jobs.

Among them, Huang Jian is responsible for mining, Cao Jingyuan is responsible for building a smelter, and Meng Zhiyuan, who has run through business, is responsible for the sales of ironware.

After the recruitment was completed, Fang Ling signaled that except for the recruited soldiers to stay, the others could go to their respective places of work with the adults in charge.

As a result, under the city wall, only the hundred soldiers recruited were left, and in addition, the original soldiers defending the city were also called out of the city and stood in several rows, which looked quite strategic.

Fang Ling's gaze swept over everyone, everyone straightened their chests, their expressions were very serious, although it was only a 16 or 7-year-old boy in front of him, however, his noble status as the king of Shicheng and his eyes as sharp as a knife were like seeing the depths of his heart from everyone's faces, which made people dare not have the slightest slackness.

At this time, the sun has also risen in mid-air, and the lazy winter sun shines on everyone's faces, looking vibrant.

After a long time, Fang Ling slowly asked, "Do you understand what your duties are as a county soldier?"

Everyone hesitated, but Hao Tieniu replied loudly: "Your Highness, as a county soldier, the most important duty is to protect the safety of the people in the town!"

Fang Ling bowed slightly, and said loudly: "I know that some people may come for these three taels of silver, but you must remember that the more important thing in this world than silver is our family, and you, everyone here now, will shoulder the responsibility of protecting your family." ”

Everyone looked stunned when they heard this, and they didn't dare to be frivolous anymore

Fang Ling stretched out his hand to the guards beside him and said: "These guards from the forbidden army of the palace have been appointed by this king as county lieutenants, and from today onwards, you will be trained into a qualified soldier with fifteen days of special training, you can complain about being tired, but this king hopes that you will not give up." Because one day, you will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of exterminating the bandits, and take back this green mountain that originally belonged to your ancestors! ”
