Chapter 157 Recruits

A big show of recognizing relatives was being staged at home, but Yun Xiao circled around a colorful pottery figurine. ~

The life-sized person is like a painting and lifelike face. He is standing, and his hands are holding weapons. He actually makes such a thing when he digged a well. The village chief immediately reported to the marquis. So the thing was transported to the Yunjiazhuang.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Yun Xiao almost cried. He took people to see them eight hundred times in his previous life, but they all looked at them with no color. It was considered that he saw those with color. The Miracle of the Century was dug out more than two thousand years in advance. The reason was the same - digging a well.

Fortunately, the villager did not burn this pottery figurine like a farmer in later generations. Instead, he presented it to him as auspiciousness. The Yun family was granted the title of marquis for military merits, and the terracotta figurines were dug out from the figurine. Naturally, it means that the Yunhou army was intimidating the world and was helped by the God of Martial Arts.

Yun Xiao immediately ordered Lintong not to dig wells at will. If you dare to sell this thing in the future, it will be a crime to lose your head. It should be left to future generations. If anyone digs out two hundred and fifteen out of Qin Shihuang, it will be a big trouble.

He suppressed the idea of ​​digging out the Terracotta Warriors and Horses to build a theme park. Yun Xiao began to inspect the soldiers recruited by Cang Hu and the others.

The Shandong man is indeed true. Although there are not many handsome guys like Huang Xiaoming. The figure of Jimo people is generally tall, and Cang Hu inherited the standards of Zhang Shisan's confrontation. All five thousand strong men are muscular men with dark skin and silly heads and silly heads and silly minds.

Now these indifferent guys are having fun playing on the playground. The 200-pound stone locks are light in their hands, as if they are lumps of soil. You dig them for me and I dig them for you. Occasionally, one or two cannot be caught. The stone locks fall on the ground and splash a large amount of smoke and dust. Some instructors were stunned.

"These people are very strong, you don't know. The subordinates said that when there was two stagnant of silver in a year, the people who came to apply for the contract almost flattened the Jimo Marquis' Mansion. Many strong people came to queue up in the middle of the night, what is this 200-pound stone lock? When I was in the first assessment, I used 300 pounds of pounds."

Canghu looked at the soldiers he had recruited and said with some satisfaction.

"Oh, you have explained our rules to them. Eating food in the army is a life-long business. If the family is not able to survive without this strong labor, we can't take it. We can't kill the lives of our family because our family recruits us."

"Don't worry, marquis. None of these people is the only one. They are all brothers and brothers. According to your rules, only one of the two brothers can join the army.

You don’t know that places like Linyi in Yimeng are really poor. There is no amount of food planted in the mountains, and after paying taxes for farming and hunting, there are not many grains left. Not to mention money, you can marry a yellow-flowered daughter with five hundred big sons. Our family recruits two cents of soldiers every year. It’s nothing in our farm. But you can buy a big animal from them.

However, each of our family has to pay the imperial court a regular amount of money every year. It is worth paying the taxes and labor service of these people. If the subordinates think that 5,000 jin a year is not a big deal, they agree to the princes in Shandong."

In fact, Yun Xiao and Cang Hu knew that each person's usual money was actually a bit tricky. However, it was caused by the Qin army's hard-working argument since ancient times. The recruitment power in Guanzhong was very strict. Without the approval of the Taiwei Mansion, whoever recruited soldiers in Guanzhong would be unlucky. Helpless Yun Xiao had to look far and go to the distant Shandong and Jiangnan to recruit soldiers.

"Forget it, I won't argue with them for five thousand guan. Our family doesn't lack that little. Just take the person who gave the money to explain to the princes that the families of these people should be properly taken care of. Don't let their families be bullied in the countryside." If there is a lack of strong labor at home, it is easy to be bullied by some unkind neighbors. If there is no support from the official family, the family will end up very depressed. Yun Xiao doesn't want his subordinates to suffer such grievances.

"This is naturally. My subordinates have already negotiated with the princes. The princes promised that this would not happen." Cang Hu naturally knew Yun Xiao's short-sighted personality, and when he was discussing with several princes, he had already mentioned this matter in advance.

Speaking of which, the princes in Shandong have given Yun Xiao enough face. Cang Hu, a family member like Cang Hu, can be received by all the princes in Shandong every time he goes to a country. Liu Duan, the King of Jiaoxi, even held a special banquet to entertain Cang Hu. However, during the banquet, they often inquire about Wei Ya intentionally or unintentionally.

Thanks to the history teacher wearing glasses in later generations, Yun Xiao believed that these princes were all those who fed all day long, regardless of the suffering of the people. They only realized that what existed was reasonable. This sentence was too true.

The feudal system of the Han Dynasty directly stimulated the economic recovery after the war. All the princes wanted to live a good life. But the prerequisite for a good life is to make their fiefdom rich. Only in wealthy places can there be more taxes to collect.

The princes had unstoppable will and determination to get rich, so the large-scale production movement was enjoying it. As the effect of the large-scale production movement emerged, their stomachs began to be full. But the princes found that they were still not rich, and the reason was very simple. There was no money in the field, only food was grown.

So the princes began to vigorously promote business, and the reason was very simple. Merchants have money, and it is much more profitable to pull out their wool than to pull out those who dig food in the field.

But there are only so many wealthy big players, so wealthy big players have become the focus of investment promotion. A wealthy family like the Yun family can open a bank is naturally the target of the princes. Jimo Hou suddenly became rich, with five or six people in Shandong all day long. Isn’t it because the Yun family established a project in Jimo that they set up a Thirteen-scent factory.

I heard that the annual income can reach tens of thousands of yuan, and the princes of Shandong were jealous. Especially the four countries of Jinan, Jibei, Jiaodong and Jiaoxi, their fiefs have many mountains and cannot produce much grain in a year. A dignified prince’s annual income is not as good as the small Jimo Marquis. How can this make the dragon, son, phoenix and grandchildren balance their psychologically?

The warm hospitality to Canghu is actually to show goodwill to the Yun family. They sincerely hope that the Yun family will come to invest, stimulate domestic demand, boost exports, and enhance the gross national economy. In short, development is the bottom line.

"Shandong men are very stubborn. You who lead the troops should be careful. One of them is strict and the other is caring. If you have the heart to treat these soldiers as your own children, these soldiers can be well. Go back and tell these instructors, and choose some of the instructors with excellent qualifications. As an officer at all levels, the training of the newcomers has also made the bear hurry."

Yun Xiao and Cang Hu said as they walked, and as soon as they looked up, they came to the camp of new recruits from Jiangnan. The soldiers in Jiangnan looked very quiet. Although they were not as tall as Shandong soldiers, their shirtless upper body was also full of muscles and their skin was slightly whiter than that of Shandong soldiers.

The instructors were all from Jiangnan, and some of them had relatives with these new recruits. It was the training interval, and the soldiers were chattering around the instructors. They were all Wu dialect, which sounded a little inconsistent with the masculine aura of the military camp.

Yun Xiao vaguely heard words like the second uncle and uncle. It seemed that Gangying had many backdoor soldiers this time, and all his old subordinates had lived and died so many times. Gangying would probably not refuse this request.

"Transfer all those who are related to these new recruits and add some new recruits to come in. From tomorrow on, Shandong soldiers and Jiangnan soldiers will be mixed together. There is no factional battle in our army." Yun Xiao glanced at the guy who was enjoying the shade of the trees. Factional battle was an important reason for **'s defeat in the battle that year. He didn't want such a thing to happen in his own army.

"Marty, the fourth brother was also asked by his subordinates. The things that were impossible are all brothers who had gone through life and death. If their children were not taken care of, they were afraid of hurting their subordinates' hearts. There are many children of brothers who died here, which is really... But don't worry, you have checked them all. I didn't want any of them. This bowl of rice is a matter of licking blood from a knife. I didn't lose my life in vain."

Canghu hurriedly pleaded with his younger brother, and he also knew the difficulties of Gangying this time.

"You can think of this layer as good, but there is another layer you didn't expect. If the soldiers conscripted are not effective on the battlefield, they will be defeated, and they will be the ones who will eventually die. Getting unqualified soldiers will not only endanger their lives, but also our lives."

Yun Xiao quietly walked under the shade of the tree, and an instructor on duty was about to complete the team. Yun Xiao waved his hand and made a shush gesture. He wanted to know what these guys said in private.

"Follow the Marquis, don't think about anything else. Practice martial arts first, especially archery. You know how to shoot arrows. You can rely on this to fight the Huns."

"I heard that the Huns are very powerful, and the Han army is not their opponent."

"That's because we didn't meet our Marquis. Our Yun family army and the Huns lost any time. The last time the Marquis led us to surround the Huns' Great Khan. If it weren't for the Yulin's failure at the critical moment, maybe the head of the Huns' Great Khan was beheaded by our Marquis."

The bragging instructor looked quite disdainful when he spoke of Yu Lin, and it seemed that the guards of the Yun family were now very proud.

"The Yulin Army is His Majesty's personal army. Can't we catch up with our family?"

"Yulin! Those kids can fight a battle. His little body has been scolded for almost half a year. He still looks thin and he may lose when he fights the Huns.

Look at the people running back and forth on the mountain, they are the Yulin Guards. They are still His Majesty’s favorite Yulin. They are not trained in our family yet.

Master Ying was asked to recruit you, so he would definitely be a rare opportunity to practice well. Otherwise, the skill of relying on real swords and guns on the battlefield would not ruin his life."

"Yes" the recruits' heads were lit like chickens pecking at rice. (To be continued...)
