Chapter 252 Recruiting soldiers and buying

horses A pair of shoes, a chicken leg, and an egg are not valuable things, but they are recognized by others.

This is also their original intention of joining the army.

When they joined the army, they wanted to be such soldiers, not to bully men and women under Sun Xing.

"When we and Sun Xing took over the Tang Family Army, although the people praised the Tang Family Army, I didn't see any people giving them gifts. It can be seen that we are more powerful than the Tang Family Army now."

Although they followed Sun Xing to bully the Tang Family Army, it does not mean that they hate the Tang Family Army.

In fact, they are jealous and envious.

They envied the Tang Family Army for being respected by the people, and they were jealous that the Tang Family Army had a good general like Tang Shi who could protect them.

Now they were no worse than the Tang Family Army!

"I understand why the Tang Family Army supported Tang Shi so much."

A general can make the soldiers famous for all eternity, while a general can make the soldiers infamous for all eternity. If they were in his place, they would choose the one who can make them famous for all eternity.

"Brothers, since we are all soldiers, it doesn't matter who we serve under."

"Our families are almost all in Tongmen Pass. Aren't we here to give our families a good life?"

"If you follow the dog emperor, you will be hungry for three days and nine meals a day. If you follow our new emperor, you will have wine and meat every day. Why don't we follow him steadily?"

After the soldiers figured it out, they trained more seriously than before.

In the past, their training was in vain, and all their skills were used on the people.

But now they know that sooner or later there will be a day when they will go to war with the court. Now if they train for a quarter of an hour longer, they may live a quarter of an hour longer in the hands of the court's army.

Tang Jue would reward everyone from time to time for their hard work in training.

Seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Gan Fanren began to post notices to recruit soldiers and horses.

Gan Tian often pestered Gan Fanren, holding her at the table to recruit soldiers.

Many people who passed by, who had no intention of joining the army, could not help but come to take a look.

Many people wanted to work with Gan Fanren, and as soon as the recruitment notice was posted, many people signed up.

An illiterate old lady passed by and thought that she was distributing gifts like before, so she hurried over to ask.

"What are we going to get? Why are there so many people here!"

Someone laughed: "We don't want to get anything. We want to sign up to join the army."

The old lady frowned: "Join the army! Going to the battlefield means losing your life. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Yes! But if it weren't for you, sir, we would have starved to death."

"Your Excellency has given us enough food and warm clothes. We want to repay your kindness and we must hold on to this happiness."

A dark and strong man said: "We can die, but our families must live well. As long as we go to the battlefield and help our majesty defend Tongmen Pass, our families can continue to live like this and have enough food and warm clothes."

"My neighbor sold his daughter and only got half a bag of rice. Now His Majesty gives us one stone of grain each, and also provides free medical treatment for our family members, and we also get money. Why don't we join the army?"

This touched everyone's heart.

After experiencing the days of burning, killing and looting for food, no one wants to live like before.

They want to live like a human being.

They want their families to live a good life.

The old lady was silent for a while, and she didn't know what she remembered, and her eyes were slightly moist.

"When the road was being built, people were not allowed to leave Tongmen Pass, and the price of grain was driven up to sky-high prices. My daughter-in-law happened to give birth, but there was no grain at home, and my daughter-in-law had no milk. I asked people for help but couldn't borrow any grain. My grandson died because he had no milk or food, and my daughter-in-law died of depression."

"If only I could have met Your Majesty at that time."

The old lady couldn't hold back her tears when she mentioned her daughter-in-law.

Someone comforted her, "When the people from Mubei County came to support us, I heard them say that Your Majesty saved many lives in Mubei County. Your Majesty built a temple for the goddess there and prayed to the goddess. The goddess gave them food and saved their lives."

"Your Majesty is a man recognized by the gods. I believe that with Your Majesty, our Tongmen Pass will definitely get better and better!"

The old lady nodded, "That's right. I will bring my son here and let him join the army!"

"By the way, you just said that you will give money for joining the army. How much money will you give?"

"One hundred stone of grain will be given at a time, and after joining the army, you will also be given ten taels of silver every month."

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard it, "So much!"

One stone of grain is enough for the whole family to eat for a month.

One hundred stone is enough for them to eat for a long time.

Not to mention the ten taels of silver per month.

"If you had told me it would be so much, I would have brought my son here a long time ago."

"I have to go home and bring people here quickly, otherwise I won't be able to recruit people soon."

The old lady left in a hurry.

Not long after, she brought back a large group of people.

Gan Tian stared at the old lady in amazement.

[The old lady is amazing. She said she would only bring her son here, but she brought so many people in such a short time.]

Gan Tian suddenly felt a little nervous.

[Wait a minute, so many people, doesn't it mean that the food I prepared before is not enough? I have to create a lot of food from the system!]

[With so many people, how many times do I have to exchange them? It would be better to unlock more warehouses for calculations.]

Gan Tian looked at the gold coins that she had secretly saved before, and couldn't help but feel heartache.

She used all the gold coins to unlock the warehouse. In exchange, she

got a lot of food.

She couldn't help biting Gan Fanren's arm out of grievance.

She only had a few teeth, so she didn't have much strength to bite people.

Gan Fanren knew that his daughter was heartbroken about the money, and in fact, he was also heartbroken.

Since ancient times, recruiting soldiers and buying horses has always cost money.

Now they only use food to recruit soldiers, without spending much money, but he has already felt the huge economic pressure.

The military pay in the next few months will also be a considerable expense.

He must find a way to get more money.

If he wants money, he needs to activate the economy.

He sighed and walked to the next place to recruit soldiers with Gan Tian in his arms.

All the talented and righteous people he recruited participated.

There is no doubt that the one who recruited the most soldiers was Qiu Xiangyuan.

He spoke eloquently, and described joining the army as an honor, as if as long as you join the army, you will be recorded in the history books and bring honor to your family.

Gan Fanren wanted to sign up immediately after hearing this.

His words gave Gan Fanren some inspiration.

He suddenly remembered that the people of Xiaoye City had compiled a book and scolded corrupt officials before.

In addition to having enough food and clothing, the people care a lot about face.

If they can be rewarded as Qiu Xiangyuan said, their names can be recorded, compiled into the county annals, or a monument can be erected, wouldn't these people feel more honored and be more willing to work for him?
