Chapter 229: Many Applicants

Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day, and the same goes for people's hearts.

Although Gongsun Yang, who was the magistrate of Yueyang County before this, had gained the initial trust of the Lishu people of Yueyang by virtue of Yimu Lixin in Nanshi;

However, complete trust is never achieved overnight, and the bad influence caused by the Qin government's changes in orders over the years is not so easy to eliminate.

For example, when the orders issued by the government are posted in Nanshi, there are still many doubtful people expressing their concerns.

However, this does not mean that Gongsun Yang's previous measures were useless. While everyone was discussing and worrying, a voice appeared in everyone's ears.

"I can't believe others, but I believe in our Magistrate Gongsun."

"Everyone may wish to think about it. When Magistrate Gongsun rewarded the little grass for moving the pole, he gave him a total of twenty gold."

As soon as this voice came out, the thoughts of everyone around him were pulled back to the recent past, and their minds began to recall the scenes they had witnessed that day.

The desire for generous rewards, the envy of the grass, the regret of missing out...

A series of mixed thoughts completely flooded into the mind at this moment, and the complex and inexplicable meaning brought everyone back to reality.

Not long ago, they already regretted it once. Will they regret it again this time?

After some self-questioning, some people in the crowd pursed their lips slightly, but the firm look in their eyes gradually gathered.

"That's right. Magistrate Gongsun gave us twenty gold just to gain our trust."

"I don't believe that in a short period of time, he will completely break the trust that he has built so hard."

After the scholar who had just stood up to introduce the content of the order expressed his attitude, his eyes slowly swept over the people around him.

Looking at those people with firm expressions on their faces at this moment, I heard this scholar say in a deep voice: "If any of you are interested in going there, you might as well trust our Magistrate Gongsun for once."

Looking at the other people around who were mainly watching the fun, the scholar continued: "I would also like to ask the remaining people to be witnesses, as long as this time Magistrate Gongsun breaks his promise..."

Before the scholar could finish his words, a response immediately sounded from the crowd below.

"Then we won't believe a word he says anymore."

"Yes, we won't believe a word he says anymore." After saying this, he bowed and saluted everyone, and then the scholar made a gesture, "Everyone, please help yourself."

As the excitement came to an end, the crowd gathered in front of the sheepskin with the orders written on it gradually dispersed.

However, some people are preparing to return and continue to buy and sell the goods they brought today;

As for the others, they turned around and walked towards the Yueyang government office, which was rarely visited.

After walking for a short time, when these people arrived at the gate of the government, a few papers, a few petty officials, and a dozen attendants appeared in front of them.

Before the people who were interested in applying could ask questions, one of the clerks who had just finished a few cases stood up directly and bowed to everyone.

"I believe that you are all interested in coming here after reading the "Recruitment Order". Please arrange your teams in order. I will write down your situation later."

"Please rest assured. The county magistrate and county captain have previously issued orders that the rewards will be generous upon recruitment this time."

After the official finished speaking and bowed again, he sat down on his own, while the attendants who had been prepared began to come out to maintain order.

As for those who came to apply, after hearing this promise, their worries were reduced a lot. According to the previous orders, they were lined up in a queue a few cases ago.

"what is it call?"

"earth."

"how old are you?"

"twenty."

"where do you live?"

"Sangxiang."



A few cases later, while the clerk was busy writing the information of those who came to apply, two figures slowly walked out from behind the official door.

"Brother Boling, how are you?"

Following the direction of Gongsun Yang's finger, Sun Boling saw busy but organized clerks, running attendants with clear goals, and numerous but orderly applicants.

After taking all this into consideration, Sun Boling looked at Gongsun Yang with a little more admiration.

"If you respond in advance, you will be able to act calmly and unhurriedly, which is in line with the meaning of planning and acting later in the book "Sun Tzu" written by my ancestors."

"Bo Ling originally thought that Brother Yang was only good at politics, but now it seems that he is also quite talented in military strategy."

"Brother Birling deserves the award."

After gently waving his hand to decline Sun Boling's praise, Gongsun Yang looked at the crowd in front of him and said: "The teacher once said that there is a certain similarity between governance, military strategy, and even all things."

"Once you master these principles, you will be able to achieve success whether in politics or military strategy."

"For several years in the prime minister's office, Yang Yang only had a rough understanding of it." After a few words with strong memories, Gongsun Yang immediately invited Sun Boling beside him: "Brother Boling, I hope that the study room will be full."

Narrative?"

"Since it was Brother Yang who invited me, how could Boling refuse?" As he spoke, Sun Boling couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

A moment later, when Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling sat down on either side of the table, a figure quickly entered the room.

After coming to Gongsun Yang's side and talking for a while, he heard Gongsun Yang say calmly: "You did a good job, go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you, magistrate."

Sun Boling's eyes gradually went away as the figure left, and Sun Boling's eyes returned to Gongsun Yang's face opposite him, "Now that Li Shu in Yueyang is actively applying, I believe that these one thousand positions will be filled soon. I don't know, Brother Yang.

What’s the first step to prepare?”

This period of travel made Gongsun Yang understand the great power of the Yueyang family, and also gave him a deep understanding of the difficulty of implementing the land grant system.

In order for the land grant system to be implemented smoothly in Yueyang and to successfully complete the tasks assigned to him by Wei Feng, he must make very sufficient preparations.

First of all, he must have an army that can be used at his fingertips to deal with possible emergencies in the future.

Although the entire land east of Qin is now occupied by the Wei State, Hexi and the Qin State have heavy troops on the border;

But when the real danger comes, these troops cannot arrive immediately, so Gongsun Yang must have an army in his hands that can control the situation in times of crisis.

In addition, Gongsun Yang's "Recruitment Order" was not only for prevention, but also for the purpose of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

The tiger lurking in the jungle, ready to attack at any time, is always the most terrifying thing. All Gongsun Yang had to do was to frighten this tiger, who was known as the powerful man of the world, out.

Then Gongsun Yang was able to use the sharp sword in his hand to penetrate the vital part of the tiger and kill it.

Thoughts were flowing in his mind. Gongsun Yang looked at Sun Boling in front of him and said, "Brother Boling is good at military strategy. Yang Yang will entrust the next military training to Brother Boling."

"Brother Yang, don't worry, I will do my best on this matter." Sun Boling said with some solemnity.
