There is no need to worry about the source of soldiers. Now there are constant disasters and refugees are causing disasters. Many people are willing to go to the military camp to have a full meal. You can have a lesser mouth for eating at home, and refugees can also have hope of survival. After all, it is better than starving to death. The most important thing is money and grain. Only with money and grain can you recruit soldiers and horses.

"Husband Li, have you checked those accounts? How is the income of Wenchong Qianhu Office?"

Lu Haoshan valued the most important thing about income. When collecting gold in troubled times in prosperous times, gold is money. In this troubled times, the most important thing is money and grain.

After more than half a month of familiarity with the operation of the Wenchong Qianhu Institute, Li Niansuan had a certain understanding of the accounts here. Hearing this, he said confidently: "Sir, I have already calculated it clearly. If you add up the profits of each garage station, you can earn about 100,000 taels in a year."

"One hundred thousand taels? That's so little?" Lu Hao said with a frown.

Don’t look at the fact that there are more than 100,000 taels, the monks will be less porridge. The soldiers who attend the service need rewards, officers need dividends, and bosses also need some filial piety. After a few moments, there are not many left. Besides, there are more than 100,000 taels to raise. People eat horses and chew horses, but 100,000 taels. Even if Lu Haoshan is the head of a thousand households, it is good to get 30,000 taels. Even if he can get 30,000 taels, he can’t do anything big. He has to spend money on everything from food, rice, oil and salt. This is not Jiangyou. One order can get a lot of support.

Li Nian said carefully: "Sir, the 100-household chiefs used to destroy each other, so they blocked a lot of financial resources. There were some gray incomes that they didn't make. This time, I believe that there will be a significant increase in the integration of them."

"I am not in a hurry," Lu Haoshan said proudly: "As long as you keep this golden rice bowl, you will not be afraid of having no food. Besides, there is also the ancient Tea-Horse Road, and I will take the big head here in the future."

Without wealth, people are not rich, and it is difficult to make a fortune in small fuss. Lu Haoshan thought it was time to become bigger. Then he wanted to find a way to trade the tea and horses, which is a piece of fat meat to eat alone. Guangyuan is the gateway to Sichuan, Jiangyou is the only way to the ancient Tea and Horse Road, and Zitian Pass is an extremely important checkpoint for tea and horse trading. Outside, there is Shaer, Wanhuo, the chief of the Wanhu, and the support of Sichuan commander, Lu Haoshan is definitely confident that this business will be bigger and stronger.

Lu Haoshan is preparing to raise the horses and funds for building cavalry by eating the mountains and drinking water.

Li Nian had known Lu Haoshan's words for a long time, and he smiled and said, "Dong Weng will definitely get what he wants."

"The most urgent task now is to integrate and recruit new recruits, and we must integrate the establishment as soon as possible." Lu Haoshan thought for a moment and immediately ordered.

After lobbying like this, Han Wenden would definitely ask the court for his orders to fight for the position of governor. The Ming Dynasty, who is now in trouble with internal and external affairs, hopes that someone will take the initiative to suppress it. It will probably be successful. In that case, he will have the opportunity to train his army and earn military merits. Of course, the premise is that he must also have an elite soldier who can conquer and fight well.

"Students receive the order, I wonder what general has to give?" Li Nian said respectfully.

"A meeting. Three days later, all qualified soldiers will come to this school for a meeting. I want to hold a mobilization meeting for them. The soldiers of the private guards do not need to attend." Lu Haoshan hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Yes, Dongweng."

After the inspection and training, Lu Haoshan didn't stay for a long time. He brought the gifts he bought from Chengdu to see Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan. The divorce was even better than the newlyweds. He said a few thoughtful words, and there was no need to explain the love. Anyway, he knew something. After the Chinese New Year, Lu Haoshan married Lin Yuexuan into the Lu family. Now the two girls have long been called a sister. Zhao Min is responsible for the intelligence system and housework. Lin Yuefenxuan, who is familiar with military affairs, has also become Lu Haoshan's virtuous man, helping to manage the military affairs of Wenchong Qianhu Station.

Not a vase

On November 17th, the weather was a little cold, and the air became cold, and the sky was snowing again. The people were hiding at home, wearing quilts and roasting charcoal fires. There was no work to do in this cold weather, and many people hoped that the snow would fall even harder. The auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. In recent years, God has not been open to his eyes. People who rely on the weather for their lives are getting harder day by day. If the snow falls harder, they may not have a good harvest next year.

Some people have to stay outside the house in a cold weather. Not only do they have to stay, but they also stand up straight and motionless, letting the wind blow on their faces and snow fall on their bodies, and they are motionless. From a distance, they look like a bunch of wooden people. No one speaks or moves, because they are soldiers.

These are the elite soldiers selected by the Hundred Houses under the name of the Thousand Household Institute of Wenchong. Today they were ordered to go to the Thousand House to listen to the new Thousand House. Although it is not uncommon for the Thousand Household Chiefs, because after the new Thousand Household Chiefs took office, it is the first time for a group of soldiers to listen to the Thousand Household Chiefs.

No matter how cold the wind is, no matter how heavy the snow is, you have to endure it. The Qianhu Chief is most shameful that no one will obey orders. For those who eat and drink, the new Qianhu Chief is their nightmare. But for those who are in the army with their true abilities, the arrival of Lu Haoshan is a good thing. The most direct thing is that as long as you train well, you can eat well and live well. It turns out that the porridge and steamed buns are directly turned into rice and meat.

The premise is to get the A-level training.

These days, it is very happy to be able to drink a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, and to eat meat. It’s a luxury. This is not necessarily the treatment for the New Year. So, those brothers who failed the test and could only follow the original Baihu to fight Qiufeng, all their eyes were red. Although they were fighting Qiufeng outside, Junshi Li said that there were also one brothers in the military camp outside, and this one was more than those who ran out to work. Can they be dissatisfied?

Strictness is a little strict, but it is fair to everyone, so there is no complaint.

Half a man stood for nearly half an hour and his body was almost frozen. Only then did Lu Haoshan slowly climb up to the station with his private guards.

Lu Haoshan looked at the soldiers standing straight, nodded with satisfaction, nodded to Chang Fei, the old fifth person in charge of organizing the team. Chang Fei replied, shouted loudly, and then let the soldiers rest on the spot, that is, to move their bodies so that they would not be stiff and stomp their feet to warm up.

"Yes, the brothers present probably cursed me in my heart. It's just a test for you to throw my brothers here to freeze in such a cold day. You did a good job and didn't disappoint me. Okay, I won't talk about those big principles, just come up with something practical."

As soon as he heard the reality, the soldiers present suddenly felt energetic, their eyes wide and their ears stretched out long, for fear that they would miss a word.

"Let's get straight to the point. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's get my brothers promoted and pay more." Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said generously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the school ground was silent, and there was no cheering situation like Lu Shan imagined. After a while, a general flag said timidly: "Sir, we are military households and we have no salary."

The military households were confirmed in the early Ming Dynasty, with prisoners, poor peasants and some criminal officials, with extremely low status and they cannot be easily removed from their ancestral homes. Once they are military households, they have been military households for generations, and they have to use weapons to fight desperately during wars. They have been working as long-term workers and slaves for the "Zhu family" for the rest of their lives, and even descendants are no exception. There is no military pay, and they are satisfied if they are less filial to Shangguan.

"Yes, sir, I, I am a humble person and I am not worthy of military pay."

“According to the law, we have no military pay”

The soldiers seemed to touch the pain deep in their hearts, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little dull. Many people thought, this thousand-person chief changed from civil servants to military officers, wouldn’t he even know these common sense, right?

Lu Haoshan laughed and signaled everyone to calm down. Then he said with a certainty: "Since I said that I would increase my salary, I was not talking nonsense, but after careful consideration, this monthly salary was consistent with my personal guards, one or two months, one or two taels a year."

One or two months?

Everyone was shocked. This was comparable to the monthly salary of the famous and military achievements. A general flag said with some doubts: "Sir, are there still conditions for these monthly salary?"

"That's right, this brother said it well," Lu Haoshan snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "In the army, if you want to make a name for yourself, if you want to have a good meal and live well, you have to strive for it by your ability. I plan to set up a special battalion to pick outstanding soldiers from the brothers present and carry out special training. As long as you enter the special battalion, not only will the food be enough to fill the meat, but one tael of silver be given every month as pocket money. Of course, you can treat it as military pay, but the number of people in this special battalion is limited. Now it is planned to only collect 300 people. The details and requirements are announced after the annual meeting. Don't miss the opportunity."

In the special camp, the rice is full and the meat is enough, one or two pockets of pockets. This news spread throughout the team. Some people are happy and some are worried. People with good skills are secretly excited, and those with average abilities are secretly determined to strengthen training.

"Sir, you just said that you are promoted, how can you be promoted?" The person who spoke was a small flag, with average strength and was the one who ranked very far in the army. The special training camp sounded good, but when you saw the elite of the private guards and saw a large number of brothers who were eliminated, you knew that this special camp was not his own "vegetarian" and could not receive pocket money, that is, salary, so let's see what it is about promotion.

Lu Haoshan said solemnly: "Our Wenchong Qianhu is located in Guangyuan. This is the gateway to Sichuan. The geographical location is very important and the defense task is also very heavy. Everyone knows that I kicked out a group of people who were unworthy of use. In this way, there will be a large number of vacancies. It is urgent to supplement the source of troops. Therefore, I asked you to find people present and find some young and strong people over 16 years old and under 25 years old. Of course, the people you are looking for must be healthy, free from illness or pain, and must pass our test. It is best to have a skill."
