Chapter 413: Vignette, Conscription Policy
The next day, early in the morning, Qin Yun finished the morning meeting as usual.
The administrative team of Qiongzhou Mansion has been set up, and now as long as Wang Muzhi is responsible for the unified scheduling of daily affairs, as for Qin Yun, he mainly provides directional advice.
After all, he can't do everything himself.
However, the most important thing at the moment was to recruit soldiers, and Qin Yun traveled after breakfast and came to Qiongzhou City.
Chengdong City, Qiongzhou, is crowded at this time.
A sergeant posted a notice, and a literate man read it aloud.
"Liang Wangfu recruits soldiers, the monthly money is consistent, if there is an additional reward in the war, it is required, at least eighteen, no disease, height and weight meet the standard, those who know martial arts are preferred, and those who are literate are preferred!"
A fisherman with a harpoon on the side pulled the scholar.
"Sir, is it really a month's money?"
"That's what it says, I just don't know if it's true, it's more profitable than me teaching."
"That's it, how can there be such a good thing, the money has always been able to buy three months of rice and noodles, I see, this is the money to buy life, I heard that something big happened in Chaozhou, the people of the city, whether old or young, were slaughtered, it is said that it is related to the killing of two pirate leaders by the king of Liang."
"The imperial court ordered King Liang to destroy the pirates before the end of the year, and he recruited troops to let me wait to feed the big fish in the sea!"
"I see, I'll just say how suddenly generous, in previous years, the imperial court recruited troops for a month and only half a penny, scattered, scattered, and had money to spend!"
At this time, a thin teenager squeezed into the recruiting office.
"I want to sign up!"
The recruiting officer in charge of recruiting looked each other up and down, and then said impatiently: "Go, little boy, don't come to make trouble." ”
"I'm not a kid, I'm eighteen this year!" The young man said with a firm gaze.
Recruiting officer: "How do you prove that you are eighteen?" ”
Boy: "Then how do you prove that I'm not eighteen!" ”
This question stumped the recruiting officer.
Fortunately, the deputy on the side took out a six-foot-long stick.
"The ancients were seven-foot men, this stick is six feet, and if you are less than six feet, there is no eighteen!"
The young man snorted: "Nonsense, the old Zhang Touer of Dongshi, he is sixty years old, less than four feet, what do you say?" ”
The official was stunned, he didn't expect that he was stumped by a child, and he immediately said forcefully: "Come on, put this troublesome teenager out of me!" ”
However, what everyone didn't expect was that the two tall sergeants stepped forward, but they couldn't catch the young man, he was in good shape, flashing and moving in front of the two, and even knocked the two strong men together.
The young man laughed on the side, and the crowd of people who watched the excitement also applauded.
The recruiter's face was pale, and he picked up a horsewhip from the side and whipped it at the young man fiercely, seeing that the braid was about to fall on the young man's thin figure.
Qin Yun stood up and grabbed the hand of the recruiter, who wanted to scold, but when he looked at it, he knelt down in fright.
Qin Yun shook his head and motioned for him to keep quiet, and the latter understood, drew his whip, and returned to the table in the recruiting office.
This recruiter naturally knew Qin Yun, after all, the people who could be responsible for recruiting were all veterans who followed Qin Yun to fight.
At this time, the young man reacted, he escaped by himself, he looked at Qin Yunren's tall horse, and then smiled: "Big brother, you are also here to join the army?" ”
Qin Yun didn't expect this kid to be so familiar, he smiled: "Yes, it's always money, it's a lot!" ”
"At first glance, the eldest brother is an extraordinary person, and he will be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future, but it's a pity that the son of a son of a girl doesn't have long eyes, and she doesn't know the master's ability, so it's not appropriate for this soldier!"
He swaggered away.
"You ......" The recruiting officer was furious, but seeing that Qin Yun shook his head, the latter snorted and sat back.
But just as the boy was about to leave, Qin Yun stopped him.
"What, you don't want your money bag?"
The young man touched his arms, but his expression changed, and as he spoke, he rushed up, trying to retrieve the money bag.
But at this time, the two soldiers who were being teased by him exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn't that my purse?"
"This kid steals!"
Seeing that the matter was revealed, the young man's face was frightened, and he wanted to run away, but he was clamped by Qin Yun's wrist.
"Let go of me!"
The young man was very stubble, but Qin Yun just looked at him with a smile.
Then Qin Yun carried the clothes on the back of the young man's neck, trembled, and instantly dropped a bunch of money bags.
At this moment, the faces of everyone in the audience changed instantly.
"My money bag! This kid is a thief. ”
"No, when did he steal my things?"
"Kill him, kill this thief!"
Qin Yun said to everyone: "Everyone, take stock of any losses, and spare people and spare people, just spare him this time!" ”
The sharp-eyed man seemed to recognize Qin Yun, took back his money bag with a good look, and arched his hand to Qin Yun.
But there are also people who are not satisfied.
"No, arrest him and go to the official!"
"Let it go!"
When the young man saw that he was going to see the official, he bit Qin Yun's arm, Qin Yun frowned and let go of his hand, and the young man ran through the crowd and disappeared into the corner of the alley.
The conscription officer rushed up with men.
"Lord Wang, are you okay?"
Qin Yun waved his hand.
"Lord Wang? I know him, he is the King of Liang! ”
An old fisherman knelt on the ground.
"His Royal Highness King Liang, kill corrupt officials for the people of Qiongzhou for me, and thank King Liang for the old man."
Qin Yun stepped forward to help the old man up.
"The old man is serious, this is the king's business."
The rest of the people didn't dare to hold it up when they saw this, and knelt on the ground.
Qin Yun smiled bitterly, he was self-convinced, he just didn't want to watch people kneel around, but he also knew that this was limited by the times, and people had a natural awe of royal power.
But this awe is also one of the foundations of ancient feudal rule, and Qin Yun did not want to completely subvert him.
After all, one step ahead is God, and one big step ahead of the times is neurosis.
When a person loses his reverence and does not establish strong legal values, he will become a beast through and through.
Qin Yun waved his hand: "Get up, you only need to bow down when you see this king in the future!" ”
The old man shook his head: "Heaven and earth monarch, see that the king does not worship, and the great rebellion!" ”
Qin Yun said: "In other places, this king can't control it, but in this Qiongzhou, this king has the final say!" ”
"This ...... Well, thank you! ”
The crowd staggered to their feet.
Qin Yun took the opportunity to stand on the high platform.
"What you have just said, this king has heard. To tell you the truth, this king doesn't want to waste money and money, and he doesn't want you to be caught up in endless wars. ”
"But the enemy has already reached the doorstep, do you still have to retreat?"
"All 100,000 old and weak people in Chaozhou were slaughtered, and you should listen to this story today, but what if it is this Qiongzhou City that will be slaughtered in the future?"
"Born in sorrow and dying in peace, you must have been troubled by the sea to seek a living."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this king gives you a chance, a chance to kill pirates and defend your country. The king assured all those who joined the army that military dependents would enjoy additional preferential treatment in addition to the monthly salary. ”
"If they are unfortunately sacrificed, their children will be admitted to the Qiongzhou government school for free, and the Qiongzhou government will support their parents."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was taken aback, throughout the ages, only strong men were arrested, and they had never seen such a treatment of military families.
"Lord Wang, is this true?"
Qin Yun said with a smile: "If this king deceives you, he will call five thunderbolts that day." The king promises you that if you can't do that, you can leave the army at any time. ”
"But there is one thing, my officials and soldiers in Qiongzhou must order and prohibit it, respect the people, if anyone thinks that they can do whatever they want when they become officials and soldiers, then don't blame this king for being polite!"
"Someone, take down the conscription notice, write it in red cloth, be honored as a soldier, and send it to the township!"
"No!"
Qin Yun looked around, but found that the young man just now was staring at the door wall with big eyes, he pretended to leave, but in fact he went around to the back and followed the young man.
