Magistrate Tian, the county magistrates, and the chief clerks all opened their mouths in shock.
They looked at Xiao Yunzhan on the altar in confusion.
Isn’t the salary for soldiers a bit too much? These things should be the benefits that only centurions can have.
This is the treatment given to the soldiers under King Yongchang. There is no need to fight for other cities. Just tell them the treatment and those cities will surrender faster than anything else.
In a year of famine, these grains, oil, rice and flour are much more valuable than gold.
The clerks were so excited that they wanted to sign up to join the army directly. The treatment was so good.
Zhu Changshou and the people from Zhujia Village gathered around the altar, their chests puffed out.
After hearing about how the new recruits were treated, they were even more grateful that they had followed General Long so early.
After a moment of silence on the parade ground, everyone suddenly raised their hands and shouted,
"I want to sign up for military service..."
"There are two people in my family who meet the requirements. I'll sign up for both..."
"Haha... I'm just 40 years old, so I meet the registration requirements. I want to sign up too..."
"Your Majesty, my child is just 13 years old and can also sign up for military service..."
"I want to be a soldier too. I'm taller at 12 than I am at 13. I can do it..."
“.......”
The people on the parade ground were clamoring to sign up, and they couldn't wait to get their salaries and go home to cook.
Xiao Yunzhan raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
After a while, the noisy noise on the parade ground gradually died down, and finally all the people closed their mouths and looked at Xiao Yunzhan with bright eyes.
Xiao Yunzhan glanced at the clerks around Magistrate Tian.
"Now you will go to your respective local registrars to register. If you meet the requirements, they will issue a certificate. Then you can go to Captain Zhu to collect your salary."
"Today is August 26th. From now on, I will collect my salary for the next month on the 26th of each month."
When the people heard that they could receive a month's salary by signing up today, they were so excited that they immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, God King, for your gift. Thank you, King Yongchang. Thank you, General Long!"
There are two people standing on the altar, so you have to thank them both. It’s always better to give more gifts.
After the people kowtowed several times, they hurriedly got up and went to find the chief clerk of their area.
The clerks who had gathered together immediately dispersed. Fortunately, they had brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone with them when they came.
Soon, a long line formed in front of dozens of chief clerks on the parade ground.
Lin Yiran took Xiao Yunzhan to the empty space on the right side of the parade ground.
As she stopped, piles of rice, flour, grain and oil suddenly appeared on the open space.
Zhu Changshou, who was used to this scene, immediately divided the 63 people from Zhujia Village into five groups, each responsible for distributing rice, white flour, corn flour, soybean oil and salt.
Lin Yiran was used to it by now. The people of Brahma City who were registering to join the army had never seen such a scene before.
Seeing the large amount of food suddenly appearing on the parade ground, everyone widened their eyes in shock and was so nervous that they even forgot to breathe.
It was not until some people were suffocating and almost fainted that they took a quick breath.
Magistrate Tian, who was helping to maintain order, suddenly found that the crowd had suddenly become quiet, and every time they turned around, they seemed to be frozen in place, with their mouths wide open in idiocy.
He frowned slightly and looked in the direction everyone was looking.
Looking at the sudden piles of grain, oil, rice and flour, Governor Tian's pupils suddenly shrank and he was stunned in shock.
He opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a long time.
It was not until the people knelt down and cried out in gratitude that Magistrate Tian came to his senses.
He stared at the pile of grain, oil, rice and flour with wide eyes, and walked over with trembling feet.
"Prince Yongchang, is the Divine King simply giving these...things to the people?"
When he got closer and took a look, Magistrate Tian was even more shocked.
These are all refined rice and flour.
Those barrels of oil were so clear and shiny. He had never seen soybean oil with such a bright color.
There are also bags of white fine particles wrapped in transparent bags. The salt that Emperor Wu of Liang ate was not so fine.
These people are really lucky, as they can live such a good life so easily.
"The people's health has been severely damaged. They have been hungry for too long. If they eat coarse grains all of a sudden, their bodies may not be able to withstand it."
Xiao Yunzhan glanced at Lin Yiran helplessly.
The food Lin Yiran had previously taken out were all white bread and steamed buns, and he suggested getting some coarse grains as a transition.
But Lin Yiran disagreed, saying that if he wanted to fight, he had to keep in good health and eat and drink well.
Soldiers must not be treated unfairly when it comes to food and drink.
Lin Yiran raised her eyelids and looked at Xiao Yunzhan, then smiled slightly.
It’s not that she is short of coarse grains in her space. After all, she has emptied the granaries of so many cities and the large and small granaries in the capital, so there are still quite a lot of coarse grains.
But compared with these refined rice, flour, grain and oil, coarse grains are much less.
That idiot Xiao Tiantian exchanged all of her hundreds of billions of assets for rice, flour, grain and oil, and they piled up like mountains.
Besides, Brahma City is their base camp, so the local welfare should be better.
Save those coarse grains and feed them to the common people when you capture other cities in the future.
Soldiers' families should always be given preferential treatment.
The refugee soldiers, the Xiao family's private soldiers, and the soldiers who have signed up now add up to less than 100,000 soldiers.
It sounds like a lot, but compared with the national military strength of Daliang, it is still a bit far behind.
Using generous salaries to attract people to join the army is not much faster than forced conscription.
