On both sides of the street, except for the grain stores selling grain, there were long queues, but the other shops were empty.

A teahouse at the end of the street, with a few resting porters.

"Storyteller, don't tell the story of the gods and ghosts, change it!"

A porter laughed and scolded.

The rest of the people in the teahouse also agreed.

The gray-haired storyteller was not angry, took a sip of tea happily, and said loudly: "Okay, what do you want to hear, just say it." ”

"Do you know General Lin across the river?"

"I don't know."

"The big dragon city is a big victory, and the empty city is a plan."

"Oh, oh, I know."

The guests in the teahouse immediately knew.

"I see that they are all rumored to be brutal and unreasonable, and they will do whatever it takes to recruit soldiers, not only conniving at their soldiers to oppress the people, but also collecting military expenses from the poor people."

A man with his head bowed in a corner whispered.

"Really?"

The guests in the teahouse looked at each other.

There was no news in the city, and they were running around all day to make a living, only to learn that a new Overseer had arrived on the other side of the river.

"I've heard with my own ears that General Nalin cut off the heads of people who didn't want to join the army in public and used them as wine jugs."

In the teahouse, there are people who should be harmonious.

"So brutal?!"

"Hehehe, this guest officer, I have a different version here, you want to hear it."

The storyteller said mysteriously.

The man in the corner frowned.

"This is what I said from a fellow who fled from the other side of the river to this side of the river, and the fellow said that he saw it with his own eyes."

"Tell me!"

The porter at the beginning said with interest.

Others are not interested.

After they finished their work, they came to the teahouse to order a cup of hot tea and listen to a book, just to make the poor life more enjoyable.

And they generally have little affection for the military.

In their minds, the army is nothing more than an alternative kind of bandits and mountain bandits, playing a legitimate pawn to oppress their people.

This is true both successively and now as the governor of the Jiangbei garrison.

Of course, they only buried this in their hearts and didn't dare to say it, after all, if they were heard, they would be beheaded.

"Hehe, my fellow said that General Nalin personally went down and helped them plow the fields."

The storyteller unfolded the folding fan and whispered.

"This, how is it possible, I'm afraid it's not made up."

The man in the corner looked ugly and said with a stiff neck.

"It's extreme, it sounds like it's made up."

The people in the teahouse also scoffed.

They would not believe in any case that a high-ranking general would go down to the field and plough the fields.

"I didn't believe it at first, but my fellow swore that it was the same as it was."

"He also said that if he responded to General Lin's conscription order, everyone would get ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels of silver?! That's enough time for my family to eat and drink for a year. ”

The porter looked incredulous.

In the past, the Jiangbei defenders recruited soldiers, but they had no money, and only when they died on the battlefield could they have a little consolation.

But I haven't heard of anyone getting the consolation money.

"If he gives ten taels of silver, then I will definitely go to join the army."

The porter smiled wryly.

"So ridiculous, you believe it?"

The man in the corner snorted.

The porter also felt that it was not credible, and after drinking the tea, he left the teahouse.

He was under the scorching sun, and when he was helping the owner carry things, he saw that the Zhang Bang in front of him was overcrowded.

"Ten taels of silver!"

In a blur, the porter seemed to hear someone say.

"Get out of the way!"

Just as he was about to see what was going on, a group of officers and soldiers hurried over and kept tearing off something from the board.

"Someone is walking in the city to spread the rumors, everyone can't believe it, let's spread it!"

The officers and soldiers at the head had cold faces and drove away the onlookers.

The porter was curious and stopped a man with an agitated expression.

"If you join General Lin's army, you can get ten taels of silver for military expenses!"

The man whispered such a sentence, and quickly left.

The porter's eyes lit up, and he dropped his goods and hurried home.

And in every city in the north of the river, such a scene is staged.

In just a few days, the news that the crusading army that joined General Lin would issue military expenses spread throughout Jiangbei.

……

"Bang!"

Huang Lang, who was the governor of the Jiangbei garrison, overturned the desk in front of him, and his forehead was covered with green tendons.

The soldiers below fell to their knees in fear.

"Why, didn't you block the news? How can the whole big business now know. ”

The governor of the Jiangbei garrison rubbed his temples that were jumping suddenly: "A group of rice buckets!" ”

There is no military budget for recruiting soldiers in Jiangbei, which is a tacit matter for successive governors of Jiangbei defenders.

Even the previous emperor turned a blind eye because most of the silver was used to expand the treasury.

And Lin Bei put this matter on the bright side, where did he put the face of the governor of the Jiangbei garrison.

He originally thought that Lin Bei had obtained the right to expand the army, and the two armies were blocked by the river, as long as they did not offend each other, they would be able to get along safely.

But Lin Bei's hand was tantamount to a slap in the face.

He has been guarding the land north of the river for ten years, and it is the first time he has suffered such a big loss.

"Pass the order, if you find someone who wants to cross the river and join the army, you will be killed."

"Yes."

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew from the camp.

"A little eunuch, he still wants to shake my status."

Huang Lang sat back on the tiger skin seat, his face extremely gloomy.

……

"Is this Huang Lang crazy! Unabashedly, we have not been able to prevent the people from responding to our army's recruitment orders. ”

In the tent, Zhou Jinwei frowned.

At this time, she was already Lin Bei's right-hand man.

Lin Bei had to admit that Zhou Jinwei, as the granddaughter of General Zhou, somewhat inherited General Zhou's military talent.

Now she is also able to take charge of herself, not only can lead the army to suppress bandits, but also easily integrate the concept of war he learned in later generations.

"Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will blame him?"

"How could he be afraid, behind him, there are tens of thousands of Jiangbei defenders, if he doesn't do it, the current Jiangbei will really be finished."

Lin Bei shook his head and said.

"My lord, I caught another assassin who had secretly infiltrated, what should I do?"

Outside the tent, Bian Long said respectfully.

The corners of Lin Bei's eyes twitched.

In the past month, he has experienced more than a dozen assassinations.

Sadly, these Assassins were captured by the soldiers who could not even break through the barracks' defenses.

"Forest dog thief! If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! If Lao Tzu frowns, you are my Lao Tzu! ”

An angry voice rang out.

Lin Bei clapped his hands and applauded: "Since you want to die, then the Overseer will not kill you, Bian Long, release you!" ”

"Yes."

"Lin Dog Thief, don't think that I will be grateful to you if you let me live today! You just wash your neck and wait for me to cut off your head!" ”

It's really a strong man! If there are more such good people in the world, how can he be afraid that he will not be able to die.

Lin Bei's heart was respectful, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
