After Zhuang Shaoyou dealt with Zhou Tian, he extorted a lot of grain from Liang Tian and Chen Gu, and the food problem that had plagued him for a long time was finally solved.

The people of Yudi County finally have something to eat, and Zhuang Shaoyou also has surplus food to recruit new soldiers.

Early the next morning after returning from Zhou Tian, Zhuang Shaoyou asked Wu Liang to draft a letter of regular soldiers and post it throughout the county, and sent hundreds of soldiers to the surrounding villages to recruit soldiers.

Zhuang Shaoyou has 100 soldiers in his hands, and he has been trained for a while, and the 200 recruits have also participated in the suppression of bandits, and they have basically seen blood.

For the defense plan of the county town in the coming year, Zhuang Shaoyou decided to recruit another hundred soldiers and take advantage of the winter to train, which can come in handy when the spring opens next year.

Due to the limited funds, Zhuang Shaoyou weighed it for a long time, and decided not to pay military salaries for the time being, but to change it to a war merit reward.

Article 1: Age requirements are between 18 and 30 years old, and those who are in good health. Since the date of enlistment, all food and armaments for all soldiers will be provided by the army to ensure that the soldiers can be fed!

This is very important, most of the refugees in southern Liaoning have fled in recent years, and there is no food at home, and there is no work to make a living in the small county, so it is very difficult to eat, let alone eat enough, so Zhuang Shaoyou deliberately publicized this article when recruiting soldiers.

Article 2: Reward for killing an enemy with the left ear as evidence, and reward one or two silver; Kill a low-ranking officer (chief, centurion) and reward ten taels of silver; Kill a high-ranking officer (commander, captain) and reward 100 taels of silver!

Article 3: Military discipline

Obey the command, the violator will be fired, and the wartime violator will be beheaded!

It is forbidden to rob, it is forbidden to rape ** women, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!

Those who don't train seriously are fired!

Put these rules and regulations for those strong men who want to apply, come if you can accept them, and pull them down if you can't accept them.

However, the mere requirement of having enough to eat is enough to attract countless hungry people to apply.

As a result, less than a day after the recruitment order was posted, there were more than 100 strong men who met the conditions to sign up, Zhuang Shaoyou was very surprised after receiving the report from his subordinates, these people are crazy? Fighting a war is no fun!

However, I still underestimate the attraction of food, especially full food, and people who are about to starve to death, as long as they can eat enough, they are naturally willing to give you their lives.

Besides, our General Zhuang is the master of the blue sky!

Don't work the people and don't hurt the money, free rent and tax exemption, release the innocent people in the prison, re-deal with unjust, false and wrongful cases, and exterminate the evil big black mountain thieves, it turns out that the county order Zhou who has a black conscience was lit with a sky lantern, and he worked hard for General Zhuang, and it was worth it to die!

Zhuang Shaoyou not only downplayed the charm of grain, but also underestimated his prestige among the people.

I wanted to cut off the recruitment directly, but the people didn't do it, and the strong men in the surrounding villages surrounded the people sent by Zhuang Shaoyou, don't let me be a soldier, don't think about leaving, anyway, I meet the requirements, you have to accept it, and if you don't accept it, you have to accept it!

In the county seat, hundreds of strong men came to the county government to petition and want to become soldiers.

Zhuang Shaoyou has a headache, there are few people in Yudi County, and now the strong men have come to be soldiers, how can they still engage in construction?

In desperation, Guoyuan, Wu Liang and Qin Ling were called, and the four of them discussed in the administrative hall for most of the day, and finally decided:

1. Raise the review standards and conduct physical fitness tests for all applicants

2. Expand the number of recruits from 100 to 1,200

3. Three months of training will be conducted in winter, and after the spring of the following year, the soldiers will collectively reclaim the land and participate in grain planting.

This also marked the beginning of the implementation of the Tuntian system in Qiqi County.

It took five days to finally deal with the recruitment, Zhuang Shaoyou gave a speech to the recruits, boosted morale, outlined a better tomorrow, and gave the group of walking corpses a new hope, and then handed it over to the people below to train.

Those veterans who have followed Zhuang Shaoyou since Jizhou have long been familiar with the road, and they are training and repairing those recruits every day

It's okay to instill in those recruits General Zhuang's lofty ideals and great deeds, and the recruits are convinced, plus what they have seen and heard,

Therefore, the admiration for General Zhuang is like a surging river, and the training is more hard, of course, everything is based on a full meal.

It was hard to appease these recruits, but new troubles came again, and those strong men who didn't become soldiers quit, and it was cold this winter!

Many of them fled from other places, lacked food and clothing, how could they survive this winter, so they took advantage of the opportunity to recruit troops to gather in the county seat, making the county a little tense about public security.

Zhuang Shaoyou frowned and thought about how to arrange these people? In addition, there must be many old, weak, sick and disabled people who cannot eat, how to settle them?

If you change to someone else, you must be laissez-faire, but Zhuang Shaoyou can't do it, now that he knows, he must not pretend not to see it.

So he went to discuss with Guo Yuan and Wu Liang, and Guo Yuan's opinion of Zhuang Shaoyou gradually changed, and he felt that this person was a good person who sincerely worked for the people

Moreover, they have the ability to easily exterminate the Great Black Mountain Thieves who have been plagued for decades, and now the public order in the entire county has reached the best level in history.

In the end, the trio came up with several solutions:

1. Recruit a group of fishermen to assist the people of the Mo family in fishing to supply the county's grain consumption, and skilled fishermen are preferred.

2. Recruit a group of strong men to repair the dilapidated city walls of the county seat

3. Recruit a group of craftsmen to build a new batch of new houses in the county seat to accommodate the residents who have been relocated, and to renovate and strengthen the old and dilapidated houses.

All participating laborers will take care of the food, and will be given a certain amount of silver taels according to their work performance, and they will get more for their work.

Fourth, for those who are unable to work and have no one to support them, the total number shall be counted and then rations shall be allocated according to the mouth.

After promulgating and implementing a series of policies, the entire county has been completely stabilized, not to mention that the people live and work in peace and contentment, but at least everyone can eat, which is a big progress.

Zhuang Shaoyou stopped for a few days, teasing Mo Mei every day, and tried to overlord hard bow several times, but Mo Mei was ruthlessly suppressed.

At the end of the lunar month, there are still ten days before the New Year, and the first batch of seafood has been salvaged!

Zhuang Shaoyou was very excited when he heard this, and after pondering for a while, he sent someone to invite Guoyuan to discuss how to put seafood into the grain market.

In the end, it was decided to open a government-run fishing market for grain, recruit manpower to operate it, transport the seafood caught from the sea to the fishing market for sale, and supply ordinary seafood to the ordinary people at the same price as grain; High-quality seafood is also priced higher and served to those who can afford it.

After three days, the subordinates reported that there were few people in the fishing market.

Zhuang Shaoyou was very puzzled, he had taken great pains to tinker with these seafoods, and he also sold the seafood at the price of cabbage just to let the people eat more.

It can not only save food, but also increase nutrition and enhance everyone's physique, but they don't appreciate it? It's infuriating!

Zhuang Shaoyou was depressed for a long time, while thinking, this county is not far from the sea, and the people usually eat some seafood, but they will not treat them as a staple food, they would rather buy grain every day than eat seafood every day.

The thinking inertia of this common people is too strong and too stubborn! It's impossible to change it without a dose!

Three days later, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Xiao Nian'er.

On the street at the entrance of the county yamen of Yuqi County, Zhuang Shaoyou sent someone to purchase a batch of fireworks, and released hundreds of taels of silver in half an hour.

The fireworks of this era must not be compared with modern ones, make do with it, as long as the people think it looks good, as for the things that pollute their vision, bear with it!

The people in the county are very happy to see it, they have never seen so many fireworks, they are so beautiful!

After the fireworks were over, there was a large row of stalls on the street, and Mo Mei took the lead and a group of Mo family brothers who came to help to cook seafood on the street there, steamed, boiled, fried, stewed, grilled, everything.

Zhuang Shaoyou stood at the gate of the county government and said loudly to the people around him: "Fellow villagers, eat seafood for free tonight!" I hope you enjoy it! ”

As soon as everyone heard that there was free food, Hulong came forward and began to seize the advantageous terrain, Zhuang Shaoyou sent out all the soldiers under his command, and the veterans and new soldiers went into battle, but they were able to maintain those crowds.

After a while, everyone finally calmed down, the first pot of seafood was cooked, and then distributed to the people who were waiting to be fed.

For more than an hour, thousands of catties of seafood were eaten

Zhuang Shaoyou was sweating profusely, damn, it's all money! A few hundred taels of silver is gone!

But everyone was happy to eat, it was so delicious! Why haven't you eaten it before? How do they make drops?

Zhuang Shaoyou saw that everyone was quite satisfied with the food, so he also smiled and announced loudly again:

"Folks, this seafood is not ready! If you like it, we can give you the cooking method.

I will talk about it again today, it doesn't matter if you don't remember it, tomorrow's fishing market will have someone to explain the practice of various common seafood, to ensure that everyone is satisfied! ”

As a result, the next day, the people in the county stopped buying food, and all went to the fishing market, the threshold of the fishing market was trampled on, and the Mo family brother who was in charge of explaining was hoarse.

Zhuang Shaoyou heard it, it was overkill! There is no way, let's raise the price, a little higher than the price of food, so that everyone can return to the diet life of food-based and seafood-supplemented.

Now the county has finally stopped, the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has food, and occasionally they can eat some seafood, and the days are getting better and better

The faces of the pedestrians on the street are no longer lifeless and sad, but gradually overflowing with happy smiles, and they are more full of expectations for their future life.

Our Zhuang Shaoyou, General Zhuang, has been repeatedly defeated in the county government's mansion and has carried out the great cause of overthrowing Momei
