In one day, the sky changed.

No one expected that within half a month of coming to Lizhou, Chu Ze, who had no movement, suddenly saw one day and led people to recruit frantically!

The number of his conscripts is not much!

Compared with the 100,000 people he wanted, it can be said that it is a drop in the bucket.

But the people he recruited were all from major wealthy families.

With soldiers and horses, he directly broke into the major wealthy families, and began to read the genealogy and ask about the conscription.

And then, it's a forced conscription!

Great Xia conscription has always had the right to forcibly levy.

It is precisely because of this that when it comes to conscription, people have heard of it.

Chu Ze conquered three prefectures and counties in a row in one day!

At this time, people found out that this Chu Ze knew much more about this state than people imagined.

At least he was looking for it accurately.

The conscription of the three prefectures and counties did not make Chu Ze much younger!

But the county orders of the three prefectures and counties, the feeling is different!

These wealthy families have all paid money, and they were not among them at all, and they didn't need to think about it, but this time, not only was they recruited, but they were also recruited more than one!

Can they feel comfortable here?

Especially Chu Ze led people to come to the door to forcibly recruit young men!

And without mentioning any affection, some of them said that they wanted to give Chu Ze silver, but Chu Ze didn't even look at it, and was directly still on the ground!

They can't find a breakthrough here in Chu Ze, so they naturally have to put pressure on these officials!

Chu Ze's forcible campaign has just begun.

For three days in a row, he led his men and horses to nine prefectures and counties, and by the time the county orders reacted, he had already been surrounded by various wealthy families!

Soon, Zhou Mu Chen Shan also received the news!

These county orders ran to him to complain!

"My lord, this Chu Ze has recruited all the children of the wealthy families in my county into the army, and we have collected other people's money!"

"That's right, my lord, it's not a matter if it goes on like this!"

"You can't let him continue like this!"

A group of people surrounded Chen Shan and said.

Chen Shan frowned and said, "This Chu Ze, I'll send someone to find him, where is he now?" ”

"I don't know, that guy is elusive!"

When Chen Shan sent someone to find Chu Ze, he found that Chu Ze was in the post house!

When he heard that Chen Shan was looking for him, Chu Ze seemed to have expected it, and immediately took people to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion!

This time, the two met again, but compared to the first meeting, Chu Ze was a little less impatient, and the smile on Chen Shan's face was even better!

"General Chu! I've heard that the last few days have been very busy! Chen Shan looked at Chu Ze and smiled.

Chu Ze nodded and said softly: "It's really a little busy, and I have recruited a lot of young people!" ”

"General Chu, I won't tell you, many of the young people you recruited actually greeted me, I have been here in Lizhou for many years, and I have a lot to do with many people, so I have to sell face, why don't you ask Lord Chu to raise your noble hand and let them go, how about it?" Chen Shan looked at Chu Ze and told the truth, and did not go around in circles.

For him, the benefits in his hands must be impossible to spit out, but these wealthy families are not easy to mess with, the money is collected, and people are taken away, really when people don't want to find a way to mess with you?

If a number of wealthy families jointly sue, he may not be able to hold it down!

Chu Ze smiled slightly and said, "Aren't I also in a hurry?" I can't go back to Kyoto with a bunch of old and sick, can I? Lord Chen spoke, I should give some face, but this conscription, if it can't be completed, then I can't care about so much, if the number of conscripts is about the same, this person, who is there and who is not there, can be discussed! ”

Chu Ze's meaning is very clear, if the number of conscripts is completed, then there will be discussions, and if the conscription is not completed, there is no need to talk about anything else!

Chen Shan naturally understood the meaning of Chu Ze's words, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "If this is the case, we don't have to be too anxious, I see that these mansions, the recruitment seems to be a little slack, wait until a few days, I will personally urge them, and they will definitely be able to complete the goal quickly!" ”

Chu Ze said with a smile: "Then it will be bothering Lord Chen to urge a lot!" Otherwise, I still have to run to the lower prefectures and counties every day, which is very troublesome! ”

Although Chu Ze always had a smile, what he meant was, if you do a good job of conscription for me, I will naturally make it convenient for you, if you have to card me, then no one should think about it!

In essence, in fact, the two sides can be said to be an exchange of interests.

Chu Ze knows very well that most of the incumbent officials, if they want to reap the benefits, they start from the rich!

To put it bluntly, how much money can a poor person have?

These rich people can not participate in conscription, if they want to say that they will not give money, is that realistic?

Even if you really don't give money, there must be other benefits in exchange!

If this Chen Shan and the others are really monolithic, incorruptible as water, Chu Ze really has no choice, but they are not.

From the matter of asking for money to change the age of household registration, Chu Ze can see that from top to bottom, it can be said that it is rotten to the root.

But so what? Chu Ze went to report?

Can people come down to verify? Are the officials who came down to investigate involved in corruption?

That's too troublesome, what Chu Ze wants is to complete the conscription within the time limit, as for these people to make benefits, Chu Ze can't control it, at least for now, he doesn't have the ability!

All Chu Ze wants is to achieve his own ends and means!

Chen Shan smiled at Chu Ze and said, "General Chu, don't worry, the matter of conscription is on me!" It will definitely satisfy Lord Chu! ”

Chu Ze got up and said goodbye.

When Chu Ze left, Chen Shan's face suddenly became gloomy!

After thinking for a moment, he called the master in!

"Go, give orders to all places, and recruit him into the army, and recruit the best young men, sixteen to thirty years old!"

The master looked at Chen Shan and said in a low voice: "My lord, let's admit it like this?" ”

"Hehe, what if you don't recognize it? This Chu Ze doesn't even want a reputation, just for the sake of these soldiers, we don't need to have a hard fight with him, otherwise those wealthy families will not be able to explain! ”

Chen Shan can already foresee that after this incident, Chu Ze's reputation will not be very good in the eyes of the people or the wealthy family!

In fact, he really didn't consider that Chu Ze would use those wealthy families to attack, in his opinion, Chu Ze's behavior was too offensive!

However, Chu Ze did it.

In fact, Chu Ze also has his own considerations, because he doesn't have time to argue, and he wants to put pressure on Chen Shan from the imperial court, which is actually very difficult!

Unless it is ordered by Emperor Xia!

But if he really asked Emperor Xia for a holy decree, then he still used him to recruit soldiers?

It's just that Emperor Xia directly ordered Chen Shan.

So he needs other external forces to put pressure on Chen Shan, and the local wealthy family is undoubtedly a good choice!

As for the so-called reputation, in Chu Ze's opinion, it is only a reputation in the eyes of the people, and it is not so important!

So, just a few days later, the entire Lizhou began a conscription boom!

As soon as the local government exerted its strength, the effect was suddenly different!

I saw that the officials from all over the country were caught quickly, and they went out one after another, between the villages and counties, to find the young and strong!

They are extremely knowledgeable about the local situation, and they know exactly who has the right symptoms!

At the same time, you can also intimidate some people and get oil and water!

This is the right, even if it is the lowest level of fast catch, it can be eaten from the people with a full stomach fat.

Because the people don't know their goals, many people, in order not to be drafted, are willing to pay money to avoid disasters, after all, once they are drawn into the army, it is not a matter of one or two years.

Every young man who is conscripted into the army is the pain of an ordinary family.

As the chief officer of the conscription, Chu Ze was inevitably cursed!

Because whether it is a local wealthy family or the government, they will invariably push the responsibility of the matter to Chu Ze!

"It's the chief official from the imperial court, Chu Ze, who forced the government to levy the young and strong families."

"Didn't you see that at the beginning, it was allowed to change the age to enlist in the army? Our master doesn't want so many young people to be recruited and leave, mainly because there is no way! ”

"That guy is simply black-hearted, and the Jiao family has directly requisitioned more than a hundred people, not to mention ordinary people!"

"What a fierce recruiter!"

"It's completely impossible to give our people a way to live, what's wrong with turning a blind eye?"

Under this kind of voice, Chu Ze's reputation can be said to be completely stinky among the people!

In the restaurant, listening to the discussions of the people around him, the little fat man Liu He said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, many people you have are dissatisfied with you!" ”

Chu Ze said disapprovingly: "Hehe, so what? If we come to recruit soldiers, we must have the cooperation of the government, and if I don't use some means, will they be willing to cooperate with us? Anyway, as long as the quality of the source of soldiers goes up, there are so many other things to care about! As for the common people, they are the most bitter, and it is natural to scold a few words. ”

"It's just that these people are indeed a little miserable, maybe there is only one young man in the family, and they will be taken away by us!" The little fat man Liu He was a little unbearable, and in the past few days, he has also seen a lot of scenes like life and death!

The conscripts wailed hard, and their wives and daughters were mourned.

Chu Ze fell silent, even he, seeing these scenes, was indeed a little unbearable.

But what could he do?

In private, things can't be done well, and the first person to be affected is him.

What about Yu Gong, the soldiers of Great Xia, also need combat effectiveness, it is not good to say, if it is really conscripted according to the beginning!

In the end, the quality of the soldiers is not high, and if you really start a war, what is the use of sending them to death!

That would require more lives to fill in.

"It can only be said that patriotic education has been done less, and the ideological consciousness is not high enough!" Chu Ze said softly.

The little fat man Liu He looked confused.

Chu Ze grinned and said, "Don't be sentimental, where are there so many miserable?" They are the people of Great Xia, so they should enlist in the army according to the law, and you and I don't want to enter the army? Whose life is more precious than whose gold? Don't you have to go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

This is true, Chen Xixin, as the granddaughter of Chen Guogong, is not the same as dying in battle?

A lot of things, not things that you want to or don't want to do.

But in any case, this conscription is indeed starting to develop in a good direction!

As more and more young people were forcibly recruited, the official uniforms of various places made efforts, resulting in the recruitment of 100,000 soldiers in just half a month.

And the heirs of the local wealthy families, Chu Ze will all return them as promised!

Overall, this time is actually an exchange of interests, Chu Ze can break the contract, but if he breaches the contract, it is the officials of the entire Lizhou officialdom who will be offended.

Now, although the two sides have some contradictions to a limited extent, they are still passable on the face.

The final result was that the Lizhou officialdom collected money, and Chu Ze completed his recruitment task!

This situation, whether it is a Lizhou official or Chu Ze, is absolutely acceptable.

Chu Ze breached the contract, and it didn't do him any good!

Just one and a half months after Chu Ze came to Lizhou, he completed the task given by the system.

Not only that, Chu Ze can also be regarded as concentrating on cultivation in Lizhou, and his cultivation has also been improved, and he has come to the eighth layer of the strong five organs!

During this time, Chu Ze was cultivating all day long, inspecting the soldiers!

There is nothing else, but it is much easier than when I was in the imperial capital of Great Xia.

At least it is not to say that the dealings are all powerful royal relatives.

Intrigue at all times.

Seeing that the conscription was completed, before Chu Ze left, Chen Shan held a banquet again.

Chu Ze also happily went, and at this banquet, Chen Shan still had a smile on his face, the same as when he first met!

It's just that in the middle of the banquet, Chen Shan took Chu Ze into a secret room under the pretext of something!

"Brother Chu, this time, you came to Lizhou, and it was also hard, brother, I have nothing to give you, this bit of silver, you take it back to buy wine and drink!"

Chen Shan has an extra stack of silver tickets in his hand!

Looking at this pile of silver tickets, Chu Ze smiled, took it directly, stuffed it into his arms, and laughed: "Chen Zhoumu, you are too polite!" ”

Seeing that Chu Ze took the silver ticket, Chen Shan was extremely happy, and pulled Chu Ze to talk for a while before letting his subordinates send him away.

When Chu Ze left, a woman walked into Chen Shan's study.

"Why did the master still give this Chu Ze money, didn't you say that he caused you a lot of trouble?"

Facing his wife's question, Chen Shan smiled: "What do you know, he was also sent by His Majesty, at the beginning, I didn't plan to help him recruit soldiers, and naturally I didn't care that he went back to say bad things about me, but now, I helped him recruit soldiers, what about the money, I also have it in my pocket, this kid goes back, and then says a few bad things about me, it's not worth it, give him some money, it would be good to be able to gag his mouth!" ”

At the same time, on the other side, in the home of a common person in Lizhou!

A woman dressed in green clothes with a long sword hanging from her waist is listening to the cry of a peasant woman!

"My husband and I have just been married for two years, you said that now, he has been conscripted into the army, and in my family, only orphans and widows are left, but Chu Yazi doesn't care, how can he live in the future? What a day to live! ”

Now Chu Ze is in Lizhou, and he already has the nickname of Chu Yazi.

It is to describe him as catching a strong man!

Hearing this, the woman in Tsing Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and sighed: "I have heard many people scolding Chu Ze along the way, this person relies on the imperial court's conscription order, acts recklessly, and separates the wives of many families, which is really hateful!" ”

"This young lady, who says it's not? We are a small family, the head of the house is gone, and in the future, it will be very sad! ”

"Hmph, don't worry, I'm about to go to Kyoto, and when I catch up with that Chu Ze, I'm going to get justice for you!"

As soon as she heard this, the peasant woman who was still complaining was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This young lady, don't you want to come nonsense, people are big officials in Kyoto, if you talk about my family, won't you cause trouble for my family?" ”

In fact, if you really talk about it, complaining is complaining!

But the actual situation is not as bad as she said, the family of the conscripted left, the court will give some subsidies, farm work, and there will be a way to help take care of some of the village, although the life may be harder, but it is definitely not to the point where it can't go on.

It's just that people are like this, they often like to exaggerate their own sorrows.

At this time, when she heard that the woman wanted justice for her, the peasant woman was afraid.

To put it bluntly, she still has a natural awe of the government.

The woman in front of her came to spend the night, and she casually complained a few words, but if she really wanted to go to Chu Ze to settle accounts, she definitely didn't have this idea.

The woman in green clothes frowned and said: "What can be any disaster, I will catch up with him, reason with him, if he is a good person, I will let him let your family minister go, if he is a person who is not a good person, I will kill him with a sword!" ”

Her words, the frightened peasant girl's eyes widened!
