Chapter 12 Main Quest, Recruitment!
"Description: The body of the emperor, Enke swallowed his anger? As the emperor of the Northern Qin Kingdom, the host should exterminate the traitor King Anbei and his henchmen, regain the throne, and establish the power of the emperor! ”
"Mission Goal: Kill the King of Anbei, destroy all rebellions in the Northern Qin Kingdom, and regain the throne."
"Mission rewards: five ordinary summoning opportunities, one chance to summon the top five in Datang, three special treasure chests, one mysterious treasure chest, and fifty years of pure cultivation."
"What a great quest reward."
Lu Zihong's eyes widened.
Whether it's summoning opportunities, special treasure chests, or cultivation, this main quest is far above the others.
Especially the opportunity to summon the top five generals of the Tang Dynasty almost made Lu Zihong drool.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were countless famous generals, whether it was Li Jing, the god of war, or Su Lie, who was equal to the Quartet, or Xue Rengui who set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, Guo Ziyi, who was the minister of Zhongxing, and Li Ji, the British prince who was almost as famous as Li Jing, were all famous generals in history.
If you can summon any of them, you can make a qualitative leap in the combat power of Lu Zihong's army!
Thinking of this made Lu Zihong's blood boil.
But fortunately, he calmed down, and for now, it is not so simple for him to complete this main quest.
His good imperial uncle, King Anbei, already had 400,000 troops in the northern border army in his hands, and now with the help of the prime minister and the ministers of the military department, the army in his hands will only be more.
And now he only has an army of 10,000 capable of fighting, of which 5,000 tigers and leopards have not yet come.
The difference in strength between the two sides is not an ordinary fight.
But he is not discouraged, there is a system, he believes that this day will not be too long!
"Knock knock."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and Zhao Yun's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, the property of the city lord's mansion and the major families in Qiannan City has been counted. ”
"Good!"
Lu Zihong was overjoyed.
Although he can summon the army, he needs to be responsible for the army's food, grass and food.
And when the original owner of this body fled to Qiannan City, he had no pennies except for the jade seal of the country, so after exterminating those rebellious families, Lu Zihong arranged for Zhao Yun to take people to clear the property of those families.
Now it's finally done.
This made him look forward to this harvest even more.
Lu Zihong immediately opened the door, pulled Zhao Yun in, and couldn't wait to ask, "Zilong, how is the harvest?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the income from the seizure of the family will be recorded in the book."
Zhao Yun handed a list of ledgers to Lu Zihong.
After Lu Zihong took the inspection, his face suddenly became happy, and he said, "These families are so rich? ”
The total amount of gold obtained from this raid is as much as 700,000 taels, nearly 30 million taels of silver, countless grains, and more than 600,000 acres of cultivated land!
Lu Zihong knew that the family was very fat, but he never thought that it would be so fat!
What's more, with this money, he can recruit troops and increase the number of troops.
Just relying on 5,000 Danyang soldiers and 5,000 tigers and leopards was not enough for him to regain the world.
"Zilong, you immediately arrange for people to start recruiting recruits in Qiannan City."
Lu Zihong instructed without hesitation: "The military salary of each ordinary soldier is four yuan of silver, and it is guaranteed that they will be fed three times a day, and there is no limit to the number of people, the more the better!" ”
The laws of the Northern Qin Kingdom stipulate that ordinary soldiers can have a salary of two dollars of silver a month, but it is difficult to say exactly what they can get.
If you meet an officer with a conscience, you may be able to get two taels of silver a year, and if you meet someone who has no conscience, it would be good to get one tael.
Now that Lu Zihong has opened a double salary above the law, he believes that it can make many people's hearts moved.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yun took the order.
"In addition, tell them that the families of soldiers who died on the battlefield can also get a one-time pension for three years!" Lu Zihong added.
The pension mechanism still existed at the beginning of the Northern Qin Dynasty, but in the later years, corruption of officials at all levels grew, coupled with the emptiness of the treasury, the pension mechanism slowly became a fictitious one.
Lu Zihong naturally wants to change this situation.
In ancient times, it was said that it is natural to be a soldier to eat food and pay for your life!
Soldiers have sold their lives to your emperor, fought for you, made meritorious contributions to you, and achieved great things for the empire, so as an emperor, you should naturally not treat them badly.
In the long run, it is true that the pension will consume the kingdom's huge financial resources, but it is what the soldiers who died in battle deserve!
Zhao Yun's face was stunned when he heard this, as a military general in the army, he had a deep understanding of corruption in the army of the Northern Qin Kingdom, and the fact that the pension system was useless made him feel sorry for many soldiers.
But I didn't expect that His Majesty would now be willing to implement the pension system again!
This moved him inwardly, and at the same time, he also led the order loudly.
However, before leaving, Lu Zihong specially instructed Zhao Yun to find some soldiers to carry the boxes full of silver to the recruiting office, and as long as they were qualified soldiers, they would be immediately issued a month's monthly salary.
Lu Zihong knows that nothing is as good as real money.
As long as you really give money, you won't have to worry about not being able to recruit soldiers.
After Zhao Yun went down, Lu Zihong called Chu Heihu again and instructed: "All the Danyang soldiers are righteous soldiers, they are loyal and patriotic soldiers, I have a license, from now on, the monthly salary of the Danyang soldiers will be increased from two dollars of silver per month to five dollars of silver!" ”
Although the Danyang soldiers were summoned to this world by him, in the system setting, they are the native army of this world, and naturally they also need monthly salaries.
And Danyang Bing is now his foundation, so naturally he can't be treated badly.
At the same time, the news of giving them five coins of silver can also make those recruits dissatisfied, and then he will get a selection mechanism, as long as they can pass, they can join the Danyang soldiers and receive a monthly salary of five coins and silver.
There is a goal, and there is no fear that those recruits will not train hard.
As long as they can train it, Lu Zihong will be able to have one more qualified army under his command!
Chu Heihu was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him with excitement: "The last general will thank Your Majesty for the soldiers of Danyang." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Lu Zihong smiled and helped Chu Heihu up, and said: "The Danyang soldiers are working hard for me, I naturally can't treat them badly, of course, I won't treat you generals and officers badly." ”
"From now on, the monthly salaries of all military generals and officers will be doubled on the original basis!"
There were 30 million taels of silver and 700,000 taels of gold, and he was very confident.
Chu Heihu was even more excited when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.
Lu Zihong smiled again and helped him up, and then asked him to go down to assist Zhao Yun in recruiting troops.
Overnight, Zhao Yun made all the preparations for recruitment, and then set up recruitment platforms at the four city gates at dawn the next day.
Zhao Yun himself was in charge of recruiting troops at the East City Gate.
At the beginning, the people of Qiannan City were afraid of it, because the military discipline of the Northern Qin Kingdom had been corrupt for nearly a hundred years, so that the ordinary people had no enthusiasm for joining the army at all.
Only those who can't afford to eat and can't find a way to survive will see joining the army as their last chance to survive.
In the past, if the army could not recruit enough recruits, officials would be ordered to forcibly arrest strong men and send them to the military for training, and there was no monthly salary for this.
Naturally, the people will not have the slightest good impression of joining the army.
