Chapter 870 (1/2)

Yuxi's plan to recruit troops from other provinces went smoothly. The strong men continued to send troops through the checkpoint and arrived at pickaxe city. In just over two months, 34000 people were recruited. Of course, these are the combined numbers of the four provinces.

Yunqing went back to the barracks this day and said to Yuxi, ”most of the people sent here are thin and skinny. I've had them examined by a military doctor who said they were not sick but hungry. As long as they have enough to eat and drink, they will soon be able to feed back. ” There is also a condition for their people to give benefits to those officials, that is, they must be in good health and not be sick. So this time, all the people who have been sent here are very healthy.

Yuxi said, ”how many of the people can eat enough?” Taxes and levies are more severe than tigers. Moreover, several provinces around China have been fighting against bandits and insurgencies. People's lives are miserable. It's a matter of life to survive. Other people can't ask for more.

Yunqing said with a voice: ”this time, we recruited 34 thousand strong men, plus 28 hundred bandits who had joined the army. It's only a fraction of the 50000 people.”

Yuxi said, ”not less than these ten thousand people. Hori, I don't think it's time to enlist in the northwest now. After two days of stable life, the common people went to conscription again. They should be terrified. ” To the common people, joining the army is to die. No one wants to send his son or husband to death. And they are not in a situation where they can't help it, so Yuxi doesn't think it's necessary to recruit soldiers in the northwest.

Yunqing thinks Yuxi is right: ”it's good to collect more people from the surrounding areas. After training for a year and a half, these people will be invincible when they go to the battlefield. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, ”we have moved so much that we have already alerted those people. Even if you pay double the price, you can't buy people. ” The officials below are all bribers. The people above didn't know when they started. It's just that they're facing four provinces. They're moving too much. These people have noticed.

Yun Qing said, ”how much did it cost to recruit more than 30000 people?” Yuxi is good at financing, so Yuxi is in charge of finance. But Yuxi will tell Yunqing about the income and expenditure every month.

Yuxi said: ”including the money, a total of 970000.” Yuxi thinks the money is worth it. Now they are too loose handed, or they will not be able to put the idea into action. This is why Yan Wushuang envies Mu Yuxi and her husband and wife. They are easy to do with money.

”A little more,” said Yunqing If you recruit directly in the northwest, you can save this money. But Yunqing also knows that Yuxi is doing this for the long-term development of the northwest.

Yuxi shook his head and said, ”on average, each person has more than 30 Liang silver, which is not expensive.” It's not a loss to buy a strong labor force for 30 Liang silver.

After a pause, Yuxi said, ”these people have suffered a lot. When they arrive at the barracks, they can eat and dress well. They should be obedient.” In the military, we can ensure that we are well fed and dressed. It's not easy for them to sell. They will treasure such a good life in the military camp. Of course, Yuxi is talking about most people.

Yunqing nodded: ”I'm really obedient. In this hot day, they train for four and a half hours every day. None of them speak out. All of them practice honestly, and none of them are picky. ” Even the more than two thousand bandits who had come to join the army had been trained honestly and had no choice. It is also because of the performance of these people that Yunqing feels that although the cost is a little high, it is still worth it.

The couple talked for a while and were going to bed. Suddenly I heard a loud knock on the door. Soon, licorice came over and said, ”prince, princess, Lord Xu said there are 800 Li urgent delivery.” In general, when there is a war, we will send 800 li of urgent mail.

Both husband and wife have the same idea. Someone must have attacked the city in 800 Li. Yuxi hurriedly gets up to put on clothes, but the woman moves too slowly. Yuxi has just put on a dress, and Yunqing has taken the autumn water sword on the table and walked out.

As soon as Yuxi's clothes were put on, he saw Yunqing come back. Seeing that Yunqing's face was very ugly, Yuxi asked, ”did the court call?” It's July. It's too hot to die. It's impossible to carry out the northern captivity at this time. The rest is the imperial army.

Yunqing shook his head and said, ”no, it's the earth movement in Wucheng.” People who are fond of trust will think it is God's punishment when they hear the earthquake. As always, there was a ground movement, and the emperor would offer sacrifices to heaven to apologize.

Yuxi was so scared that the ground moved. But this news is better than the Imperial Army's attack on the city. Yuxi heard that more than 20 people had died and frowned: ”it seems that the ground movement is very serious.”

Yun Qing nodded and said, ”I've asked Xu Wu to invite Mr. Tan and his brother-in-law to come here.” Although Yunqing likes to do things by himself, he also knows that he can't solve this problem, and we must solve it together.

Yuxi said, ”now we have to do disaster relief. If it's late, those survivors will be in danger. ” There's a lot more to do than save those sexual beings. Otherwise, an omission will lead to a major disaster.

Tan Tuo, Han Jianming and others got the news and came immediately. Hearing that the ground movement was very serious, Tan Tuo said: ”prince, princess, we must rescue the disaster as soon as possible. Not only that, but also dealing with the disaster scene. Otherwise, it is easy to cause plague. ” Now it's the hottest season, and it's easy to cause plague if the bodies of those animals are not handled properly.
