On the second day after Xie Ling left, Gu Wei had no time to feel sad and quickly devoted himself to official military duties.
Although Guangwu and Sinan seemed peaceful on the surface, everyone knew that a war was about to break out.
Compared with them, Sinan’s soldiers are still too few, so they can only focus on quality.
Gu Wei himself joined the military training, going straight to the parade ground every afternoon to guide the soldiers' training.
The soldiers guarding Sinan today are completely different from those at the beginning, with a completely different mental outlook.
They all stood straight with sharp eyes, and they all resembled the generals of the Gu family.
A few days later, Ren Pingsheng and the last group of Gu family members arrived in Sinan.
The three thousand generals of the Gu family are all elite soldiers, capable of defeating a hundred with one. They are Gu Wei's secret weapon and also his confidence.
On the day when the Gu family general was returning, Gu Wei gathered all his confidants together and held a meeting.
That night, the lights were on brightly.
The young people were full of confidence and pointed and drew on the map, vowing to change the world.
On the second day, Gu Wei incorporated Chang Shou into Sinan and officially began recruiting soldiers and horses, widely spreading the news that "Sinan is recruiting talents."
Gu Wei arranged five hundred spies, headed by Zhou Cisui, to go to various places in Beijiang to spread the word.
In troubled times, the four words "no worries about food and clothing" are too attractive.
There is an endless stream of people coming to Sinan every day, which keeps Sinan’s civil servants very busy.
Investigating, registering, arranging food and accommodation...being busy all the time.
There are two conditions for living in Sinan.
First, the family background must be clean and the five generations of the family must be clearly traceable.
The second is that you need to have a skill to support yourself.
Sinan does not support idlers. You can be a street sweeper, but you have to do your work.
When you first arrive in Sinan, if you don’t have money to buy a house, you will go to the resettlement area. On the first day, you will be given 20 kilograms of coarse grains, and after that you will have to rely on your own efforts.
There are infrastructure constructions everywhere in Sinan.
Commercial streets, canteens, schools, shops, resettlement areas, roads, public toilets... everywhere is recruiting people. As long as you are not lazy, you will not starve to death.
Most people in Sinan can achieve a comfortable life, but of course there are also a small number of people who prefer leisure to work.
Yang Laowu from Qingzhou is such a person.
When he was young, he relied on the wealth accumulated by the elderly in his family to marry a beautiful wife and have a son. Although his family was not rich, they were well off.
But as his son grew up, Yang Laowu became fond of gambling and squandered his money every day. The family's few properties had long been squandered, and they had to rely on his wife's embroidery to make a living.
After the refugees rebelled and seized Qingzhou, the family's situation became even worse and they could only follow their neighbors to dig tree bark and grass roots to fill their stomachs every day.
Just when I thought I was going to starve to death, my neighbor Wang the Butcher, who loved to travel, brought back a piece of news.
Sinan County in Lingnan is recruiting talents on a large scale. As long as you go there, you will be provided with food and accommodation, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing!
Old Lady Yang at the end of the alley narrowed her eyes and said, "What kind of talent am I? I'm just an old fool."
Butcher Wang raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know how to weave straw sandals?"
The widow in the alley wiped her tears and said, "I won't go. I'm just a widow."
Butcher Wang urged: "Don't you know how to embroider?"
Anyway, the situation couldn't be any worse. Taking advantage of the refugees' inattention, a group of people climbed over the dog hole in the city wall and headed towards Sinan in a mighty manner.
In just three days, the group of people from Qingzhou arrived in Sinan.
From afar, there were crowds of people and the streets were clean and prosperous. The group of people almost thought they had seen a fairyland.
When I walked in, I found that they actually provided food and accommodation, and even arranged work!
Butcher Wang was overjoyed and joined the breeding farm that very day. When it came to raising and slaughtering pigs, no one was more familiar with it than him!
Widow Yang joined the embroidery and weaving business, helping to make winter clothes.
Old Mrs. Yang was too old and thought she could not enter Sinan. Just as she was about to cry, a civil servant pulled her in warmly and said that we have a nursing home in Sinan!
As for Yang Laowu, he happily took his family and 20 kilograms of food to the resettlement area.
The twenty kilograms of food were soon eaten up, but he didn't want to work and started to fool around.
Get some free food from this company today, and beg for favor from the civil servant tomorrow. Civil servants are easy to talk to anyway.
Yang Laowu felt even more proud when he saw that no one cared about him.
Unexpectedly, one morning, he was dragged out of the Sinan city gate by soldiers.
Yang Laowu refused to accept the defeat and only began to beg for mercy after seeing the note issued by the soldier.
Everyone who enters Sinan has an ID card, and even if they break a law or do something bad, it will be recorded.
Of course, laziness also counts.
The severity of the case is scored from one to ten points. If it scores 100, you will be kicked out and can never come back.
In the past half month since Yang Laowu came here, he has committed several bad things, including stealing, gambling in a group, and molesting decent women.
The soldiers drew their swords grimly and drove away the people who were expelled from the city.
Seeing that he couldn't go back, Yang Laowu wanted to take his wife and son with him and have them serve him.
But his wife had already found a job in the cafeteria and sent their son to school. How could she be willing to go with him?
In this way, there are fewer and fewer lazy people in Sinan, and even the lazy people have to work hard, otherwise they will be kicked out.
......
There is also an inevitable disadvantage to recruiting people on a large scale - enemy spies may infiltrate.
All forces sent many spies into Sinan to investigate the situation.
Gu Wei was not very wary of this.
Anyway, most of those spies will turn against us in the end.
The people of Sinan live in peace and prosperity, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.
The spies have become accustomed to this kind of life, who would be willing to go back?
Even if there were some loyal people who returned to report, they would not be able to access the core part of Sinan.
