Chapter 375 (1/2)
Everyone in the world only cared about their own benefits The only difference is the nitude of said benefit The common people cared about their farms and also whether they have food to eat On the other hand, the nobles placedthe people to become soldiers, it was better to entice them with benefits The comzhou because they were promised farmlands and thirty percent tax They also refused to join the army because it conflicts with their own personal interests There was no need to risk their lives for no extra benefits
There are tays to make someone loyal to the nation The first was to educate them about the related values and make them think that their nation is a sacred place However, this is not possible as the impoverished people would not bother to study in the first place Even if they started to study now, it would already be too late
That hy Jia Xu recommended the second method which was to attract the people with benefits
“Benefits?” Jia Xu’s idea was a good one but Liu Mang was not able to think of anything that could be given to the people It is possible to give the would not be able to see the difference between such soldiers and an unruly mob Besides that, when the people have a lot of er remain as soldiers He was not able to provide the provisions He was also unable to give out so much land and it would also be a misfortune for the people if they have too much land
“Milord Wealth is not the only kind of benefit you can give the people There are also other things you can do like ’s eyes shi+ned As the population of Yangzhou was over a million, there was at least ten thousand positions for the people to occupy Each of them with this position could supervise a hundred people which was like being a village chief
At that overnor and those froment but no officials to deal with petty issues Public security have not yet been put onto the right track Any issues were sent straight to the governor, causing the governor to be extremely busy
“Mister Wenhe Looks like you had found a solutiondid not forget to attack Jia Xu after accepting his advice The enerals showed a bad expression towards Jia Xu This is because they could not find an answer no ht On the other hand, Jia Xu was the one that pointed out the problem, find a solution and even take tih Jia Xu treated them like idiots
“I was merely lucky to suddenly think of it, Milord!” Jia Xu bitterly accepted the consequences Jia Xu tried not to offend anyone by not standing out but Liu Mang ended up placing hi hi Hu had a bad i suddenly called out in a co was shaken out of his distracted state He had considered hi’s side silently Suddenly, Liu Mang had called hi him to feel a bit surprised However, he ieneral is present!”
“Huang Zhong This king proeneral1 I will leave the recruitment of the three hundred thousand people to you!”
“Milord I…!” Huang Zhong wanted to tell Liu Mang that he wanted to reuard but he was stopped It was too uard Liu Mang had co ti Zhong in a duel He was a great talent on par with Zhang Liao It would truly be the biggest waste in history if Huang Zhong were to re I did not purposefully give you this post The truth is that the others are already too busy!” Liu Mang said to the general Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were too busy with their own arether for the Urban Ar Xu the responsibility of leading the troops at that h the man was talented, they could not find anybody that could replace his position as the deputy of the Black Flag Ar Zhong would be the best choice
After all, to get three hundred thousand e proble On top of that, there was nobody around that could organize these people The only people that could actually co Liao This hy Huang Zhong was chosen
“This general obeys!” Huang Zhong could only cup his fist at Liu Mang and accept his order when he saw that Liu Mang was not backing down He knew that Liu Mang was giving hi around was good because he could be by Liu Mang’s side, when they both grow older and Huang Zhong could no longer hold a sword, Liu Mang would no longer care about hi to happen in Liu Mang’s territory, it was unlikely for the Huang Family to fall out of favour This is especially true since Huang Xu is in the Urban Ar was still in his robust years Even though he was no longer at the peak of his life, he still thought of obtaining his achieveenerals With two generals giving outstanding service, the Huang Family could move up from a common martial family to a noble fanment is a very important one that must not fail! If you fail, I will have to apprehend you!” Liu Mang shazhou For ists and also prepared to bring an entire nation to ar a battle the people were placed at the front lines and during ti also prepared the projects at Shouchun like the daive Liu Bei another chance to enter Yangzhou As Liu Mang did not want another ithin the borders of Yangzhou, the three hundred thousand reserve soldiers were very i to set up a ive youreplied with confidence
“It is good to have confidence but there is no need for ahad that confidence but not Liu Mang Liu Mang merely hopes for the forced conscription to provide a little preparation and also to provide job opportunities
“Milord Who is going to protect you when I aoing to a commander of three hundred thousand ’s safety
“You do not have to worry” Liu Mang laughed “Men Call in the brave warriors Zhou and Guan”
“H furrowed his brows “He did not knoho these twoswords came forward One e He looked tall and sturdy He should have had a handsoe scar Half his nose andand he looked quite horrifying The other person by his side looked younger and was about thirty years old This one did not look as frightening but had a foolish expression Both of the of Shu!”
“Come General, leton the left is Guan Hai!” Liu Mang pointed at the ured face
“Guan Hai?” Not nized the st the surprised generals, the usually calm Zhao Yun was the one that yelled out the man’s name
Zhao Yun could not help but be surprised Guan Hai was someone he had zhou was still controlled by Kong Rong At that tiest leaders of the Yellow Turbans at Qingzhou It was no zhou Troops in the Cao Cao’s Ar to Guan Yu were once Guan Hai’s troops
“Guan Hai of Qingzhou?” Zhao Yun was uncertain but spoke out Guan Hai’s aze confirmed Zhao Yun’s suspicion Zhao Yun was truly stunned by this person’s sudden appearance Guan Hai was a skilled warrior and had even killed Kong Rong’s general, Zong Bao, in co Bao was eneral The reason why Zhao Yun was stunned was because Guan Hai should have been dead
When Kong Rong was besieged at Beihai, he had dispatched Taishi+ Ci to look for reinforce that tih Zhao Yun had never participated directly in that battle, he still knew about its conclusion
Guan Hai should have been killed by Guan Yu at Beihai His death caused the Qingzhou Ar surrounded How could a dead person appear here?
“In the flesh!+” Guan Hai’s tone was glooh he did not want to recall those memories but he quickly recovered He looked especially murderous when Zhao Yun had mentioned Guan Yu’s name
