Jiang Huai didn't have much nonsense, and directly told the generals to understand, now that the general trend is like this, they can't help it, and recruiting new troops is also a big demand for officers, and it is also a good opportunity for them to expand their strength!

But 200,000 troops have been recruited before, and now they have to recruit new troops in less than a year, although there is no big war in a year, but the dark clouds of war have become thicker, this is something that Yunzhou and even Yunfeng can feel!

In other words, because the people of Yunfeng were afraid of war, even if they could recruit troops, it would be difficult to recruit more than 500,000 people in a short period of time, let alone the more the merrier.

Zhang Mingxuan and Lin Qingfeng, who were in a hurry, were like ants on a hot pot, and they didn't have much effect after a month.

But Jianghuai is also a person with a way, he can't recruit troops directly, he can recruit troops indirectly, so a few days ago, Jianghuai found the big merchants of Yunfeng and the big businessmen of some states close to Yunfeng in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that they had important things to assign to them!

Although these big businessmen were unwilling, but the knife was on their necks, no one dared to move blindly, so they had to pinch their noses and admit it, but before they could leave, news came again, saying that because of the prolonged war, the Governor's Office decided to entrust the arsenal to operate, and even the logistics supply line should also entrust the big businessmen to purchase logistics materials on their behalf, which is a big profit!

Everyone couldn't help but open their hearts, one by one, the monkeys came to Yunzhou in a hurry, and Jianghuai met them in the governor of Yunzhou.

Originally, these businessmen were all monkey spirits, but this time it was really a big game, and they couldn't take care of some else, and there were more than 1,000 businessmen who came this time, which made them feel that they had no bottom in their hearts, and they were afraid that their profits would be reduced again and again, and they would not have to mix it up when the time came.

Jiang Huai looked at the thousand people, his heart was a little dizzy, originally after the investigation was at most 500 merchants, but now it seems that the businessmen's sense of smell and determination are still underestimated, but this is where Jiang Huai is happy.

Jianghuai can't find an army, but these local snakes can recruit new troops on their behalf, they don't know how many tenant farmers, how many guards, although it is said that the private army is illegal, but how many years have not been checked, some big businessmen have rich people, raising a private army is already commonplace, this time Jianghuai is to take money, buy people from these people, and buy enough new troops, and even have some private army with formed combat effectiveness!

Therefore, Jianghuai plans to auction off the arsenal and the source of the supply line, although it seems that there are many hidden dangers, but in fact, even if the arsenal is handed over to the businessmen to operate, it will also have to go through supervision and quality inspection, as for the source, in fact, it is to put together the supply lines of a thousand things, reduce the chaos of the supply lines, not only is there no harm, but there is benefit.

When Jiang Huai brought it up, Lin Qingfeng and Zhang Mingxuan also praised it without words, they were overwhelmed, no matter what the method, it's good to give it a try!

In addition, I also feel that what Jiang Huai said makes sense, even if the supply line is in their own hands, there are always some people who do not have an army in their hearts, and only care about themselves, should they be corrupt or corrupt, and now hand over the source of the supply line to the merchants, which can not only ensure the quality, but also reduce the losses caused by corruption, so why not do it? As for those with vested interests? Yunzhou is too small, and those people are not qualified to work against Jiang Huai, not to mention that Jiang Huai still has an army in his hands, so they can only admit it.

On the third day after Jianghuai met with these people, a unique auction was held in the yamen of the Governor's Palace, and the auction was the comprador rights of the arsenal and the source of the supply line, that is, the logistics materials, and the currency used for the auction was people!

......

"Lao Liu, you said that this Lord of the Overseer really dares to think and dare to do it!" a white-bearded old man sighed, he is one of the participants in this auction meeting, his family is not small, but it is not big, if you can get the right to comprador in a county, then the military materials of the entire county will be bought and sold through her hands, and the profits will be terrifying!

That Lao Liu is the owner of the dart master shop, with hundreds of thousands of people under his hands, and darts in dozens of nearby provinces, this time he is bound to have the right to guard the supply line, once this will have a large number of goods in his hands, the profit is considerable, not to mention the name, it can be a huge propaganda effect, and it can talk to the governor's mansion, it is also a big resource, that Lao Liu nodded and said: "What you said is, but this is a benefit, how can we have the benefit without this prison lord, how many people do you plan to produce?"

"How many people do I have? I can't compare with a dart walker like you, there are tens of thousands of private troops under your hands, right? I'm afraid it's more than a mile? The dart master is hundreds of thousands or millions, it's quite easy to take out tens of thousands of people at once, right?" the old man nodded.

He only has groups of tenant farmers under his hands, and it is difficult for these people to transform into an army, and they don't completely listen to him, but several nearby provinces have their chamber of commerce stores, and in order to maintain security, they also have tens of thousands of private troops, but the combat effectiveness of this kind of professional dart is not the same, but it is not a bandit that can move!

Of course, like these two are big businessmen, and there are not many of them among the thousand, but Jianghuai just wants to ask for people from them to make up enough people

Just when everyone was talking, an old man walked up to the stage in front of everyone and said loudly: "Old man Yunya, I am ordered by the capital to preside over this auction meeting!"

This Yun Ya is the consul general of the Governor's Palace, Yun Feng has a lot of things, big and small things have to go through his hands, the businessmen here are doing big business, naturally they know this old man, needless to say, everyone immediately calmed down.

The old man said a lot of things in a free air, which was a warm-up, but everyone was already tired of listening to it.

I had been waiting for the auction to start for a long time, Yun Ya saw that everyone was tired of waiting, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said: "Now, I announce that the auction conference has officially begun!"

The emotions in the field were immediately aroused, they were all coming for these places, where were they willing to listen to these nonsense, one by one, the emotions of everyone were aroused.

"The first auction item, the number of guards for the Jiangbei supply line, ten! Please write your bids on a piece of paper, and after collecting them, we will select the highest ten supply lines in charge of Jiangbei! Now, please start!"
