Heaven's Formula

When people don't see the gap, they often don't realize that they are being exploited. Even if they are aware of it, they choose to endure because "everyone is like this".

It's just that when they find that what they endure is not necessary, and there is more than one way to live in this world, the emotions accumulated in daily life will turn into a surging volcano!

Hong Siqi knew that the next initiative had completely fallen into his hands.

The former prefect took to the stage again.

The eyes of 5000 people instantly focused on him.

"After listening to the three stories... what do you guys think?" Hong Siqi asked calmly, stroking his beard.

There was an instant commotion in the field.

Even the dullest person already understands what the three stories of Dr. Tea refer to.

"My lord, is it true that what was said on the stage just now?"

"I can't read and write, can Jinxia City really let us stay?"

"Come on, do you want to imitate the nobles like you are a vulgar person?"

"I think the most is to fill in the Jinxia army... If they are willing to take over the family, I don't care if I work hard!"

Some asked Hongda officials, and some argued fiercely with each other, and the camp was noisy for a while.

Hong Siqi deliberately waited for a moment before lowering everyone's voices, "First of all, I have to tell you that the stories you heard are all adapted from real people and real events, so there is no need to doubt whether it is credible! Secondly, you also Don’t get too entangled in the issue of literacy, because entering a school to teach and educate people is just one of Jinxia’s dozens of jobs! Even if there are 5 people or 10 people, Jinxia City can accept it.”

"As for the exile you mentioned—I have to say that it is not a place where you can enter if you want. Even if you all aspire to join the princess, I think those who can finally pass the examination and officially become a member of the Jinxia Army, I am afraid that even There will be nothing!"

These words made the prisoner dumbfounded.

The most common feeling is to recruit prisoners of war, but here it has become a matter that needs to be asked?

What is another assessment?

Didn't the imperial court only require those with sound limbs and not suffering from evil diseases when recruiting soldiers?

"Of course, if you can join the Jinxia Army, it will definitely be a good thing to honor your ancestors! Everyone can get at least five taels of silver a month, and the special arms will be even higher. If you are injured or disabled, the Bureau will take care of you for the rest of your life, family members You can also get full protection." Hong Siqi loudly said the belly draft he had prepared, "Let me be straightforward, if someone dares to do something to your wife and daughter when you go out on an expedition, it will be a death penalty in Jinxia City." A felony worthy of death!"

Five taels of silver is still paid every month!

When these words were heard in everyone's ears, there was an unrealistic sense of illusion.

It turned out that the group of people who rushed to fight with him like wild beasts with iron guns all took several times their own silver taels?

There is a stable income on weekdays, and there is security in the event of an accident. Not only does it benefit itself, but it can also protect family members and descendants... It doesn't feel like being a soldier, but like being an official.

If anyone had told them that before, I'm afraid they would have been slapped on the spot on the spot.

However, there are also people who were completely shattered by a night attack and never want to return to the battlefield. "Then, my lord, what are the jobs that are suitable for me?"

"Fishing, transportation, machine building bureau, saltworks, official land, there are too many to count! But I have to say one thing, what kind of work you are doing, is not the responsibility of the secretariat. Each job has its own remuneration and payment They will be released regularly at the entrance of the Bureau, and the recruitment conditions are also various, but one thing is inevitable, that is, you must be an official resident of Jinxia City."

Hong Siqi walked to a corner of the table, picked up a piece of paper on the small table, and showed it to everyone, "This is the household registration document. After you settle down, you can get a sum of money for settlement immediately-it doesn't matter where you lived before. How much land and family property you have, after signing the document, all the contracts with the imperial court in the past will be voided, and you are no longer captives without status, but Jinxia people under the protection of Her Highness the Princess!"

"My lord, can I sign now?"

"I am willing to pledge my allegiance to Her Majesty the Princess!"

"Me too!"

This time, before reaching Tuo's mouth, many prisoners in the crowd showed a strong willingness to contribute.

Hong Siqi was not surprised by this at all. Judging from his professional eyes, Master Xia gave too much.If it is he who manages it, it will be more than enough to reduce it by half to win people's hearts.

He also put forward his views to Xia Fan.

But unlike most of the previous proposals that were adopted, this half proposal was rejected without hesitation.

In Master Xia's words, this is not a courtship, but treating the soon-to-be Jinxia with Jinxia's standards—it's not that the people don't understand anything, and only by being sincere can they gain their wholehearted support.

Hong Siqi could only express regret secretly.

Of course, dissenting opinions belong to dissenting opinions, and there is still work to be done.What's more, what he wants is not just the participation of some people, but to bring all the captives under Jin Xia's rule.

"Don't worry, I know you still have a lot of questions to ask—for example, what to do with your family members!" Hong Siqi took the initiative to talk, "The Bureau also has preferential policies for this. As long as you provide your original address, Jinxia will send People went to assist in the relocation. Not only can all the expenses on the road be exempted, but this group of people can also get settlement compensation!"

These words happened to scratch everyone's minds. Their future fate and worrying about their family were the two major concerns they were most concerned about. In this way, even if they chose to stay in Jinxia, ​​they would not have any worries.

For Hong Siqi, the matter is still not over. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the scene, he threw out the last hole card, "I know what your doubts are—— Jinxia City treats the prisoners so favorably, is there any hidden intention?" ? Can it be possible to realize what this person said? It is normal to have such thoughts, so I have bought you a transitional period of half a month. You can slowly consider the status quo and make a decision after fully understanding the policy ! If you decide not to settle in Jinxia after half a month, the Bureau will pay you travel expenses and send you home!"

Chapter 491 Hong Siqi's Abacus

Everyone's ability to accept is different, and those who agree will inevitably come first and second, which is unavoidable.

Give half a month to let those who are willing to stay first taste the sweetness, and those who are still hesitant will naturally rush in.From Hong Siqi's point of view, there are very few people who can think for themselves, and most of them just follow other people's way throughout their lives.

Hearing that there was time to wait and see, he really didn't want to go home. Such a good thing made the prisoners boil instantly.Seeing the eager expressions of everyone in the audience, Hong Siqi knew that most of the things had been finalized.

"Don't be impatient, everyone. It's not difficult to take root in Jinxia City, but what kind of life you can live depends on you. The key to this is work-what kind of work is most suitable for you, What matters should be paid attention to when working, these are all problems that may trouble you in the early stage!"

"My lord...then what should we do?" Tuo asked in time at this time.

"Don't worry too much. I opened a small hall in the city, which is responsible for answering questions for new residents. There is also a complete set of training courses, in order to prevent newcomers from delaying their opportunities in the process of groping." Hong Siqi used He said in the most sincere tone, "But I must say that these questions and answers are not free! Whether you need guidance or not depends on your own decision. After all, as I said before, it is very easy to take root in Jinxia City, just listen to the affairs The bureau is enough to do this!"

The Office is a place under Master Xia's sole control, and he dare not poach the other party's corner.

Therefore, the emphasis on "voluntary" is the top priority.

Hong Siqi can see that, as long as there is no subjective malice, and the goal is not to harm public welfare or exploit others, Lord Xia doesn't mind him earning a little extra money.Although the object of earning money this time is the settled prisoners, he can indeed provide more detailed guidance than the Bureau, as well as his personal work experience summed up in the past six months.

In the previous officialdom, even if someone paid a lot of money to buy it, they might not be able to buy such benefits.

"Then I would like to ask my lord... how is your tuition fee determined?"

While the crowd was still digesting the news, key questions were already being asked.

Hong Siqi's eyes fell on that man - he looked like a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a lively expression on his brows and eyes.The former eunuch nodded slightly. Even without his guidance, this kind of person must be able to live a good life in Jinxia City. "The courses are divided into three periods, and the fees are also divided into three periods. Each time, only [-]% of the current month's salary is charged. Instead In other words, you don’t have to pay the fee in advance, and it’s not too late to confirm the training effect after the salary is paid. In addition, the small hall only charges a minimum fee of one month, and you can quit at any time after that.”

The ratio of [-]% does not sound like a lot, and it can be paid in installments, which aroused everyone's interest for a while-the people on the stage are officials of Jinxia City, and they usually have to pay for the imperial court officials, even if they are eight-rank county magistrates. Keep your head down and stand aside, now you can get advice from officials for a little money, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss.

Hong Siqi raised the corners of his mouth. The jobs recruited by the General Affairs Bureau are usually between three and five taels of silver.What if he can attract 100 people, 1000 people?In the future, the number of residents who will move into Jinxia City will be more than tens of thousands?This idea came to his mind after he saw the style and philosophy of the Bureau that was completely different from other local governments.After some preparations, it's finally time to test the waters - for Hong Siqi, this is not a one-off deal, but a long-term industry.

"That's all I have to say. Those who are willing to stay can go on stage to make a bet now!" He finally said with open arms.

As soon as the words fell, a large number of people rushed towards the stage.

"My lord, I am willing to stay!"

"I want to sign up for the chapel!"

The scene became very lively for a while.

Hong Siqi stroked his beard and kept smiling. He had a premonition that this property would not only bring him a lot of income, but might also have a profound impact on Jinxia City.

……

Five days later, on the outskirts of Baihe City.

He Guicai walked into the princess' tent and handed over the next stage of the battle plan to Ning Wanjun.

The latter did not open it immediately, but asked instead, "Is there any response from the Privy Council?"

"Returning to Your Highness, we haven't found anything yet." He Guicai shook his head, "The opponent's main force is still advancing in the direction of Jinxia, ​​but after being blocked by our mines many times, the arrival time determined by the staff has been delayed. for three days."

"No matter how slow the transmission of information is, they should have received the news of the defeat of the frontier army..." Ning Wanjun frowned, "Does Ning Qianshi think that as long as we capture Jinxia, ​​our army will surrender without a fight?" ?”

After a series of raids and battles, Jinxia's left army and right army have achieved good results.Taking advantage of the superiority in intelligence and the high mobility of the organ beasts, the opponents will face the enemy every time they engage in battle. In order to strengthen the defense, the generals of the Privy Council had to gather their troops into groups, but the Jinxia Army was able to separate out many squads of hundreds of people. Attacking the opponent from multiple directions, a force of 5000 people can often create a momentum ten times that of its own.Faced with overwhelming waves of attacks, the enemy's fighting spirit retreated very quickly, and the victory or defeat could be determined in half a day.

The Privy Council’s attempt to protect the two wings is being disintegrated by Jinxia little by little. It has only been a week since the two sides fought, and half of the 9 frontier troops have been eaten by Ning Wanjun and Xu Sanzhong. , the opponent's main force has not had time to reach Jinxia City, and the soldiers on both wings will be completely lost.As for the plan to snatch Anshen, Baihe and other big cities in Shenzhou, and then limit the scope of Jinxia's army's activities, it is undoubtedly a dream.

What's more subtle is that Ganla, who has basically recovered from his injuries, took the initiative to apply to join the army and participate in the confrontation with the Privy Council.The joining of a Yuyi and a Qingjian can be said to have greatly relieved the pressure on Xia Fan's running around. The Jinxia Army has reached its peak at this moment, whether it is a conventional force or a lineup of alchemists.

The main force of the Privy Council should have realized that it is impossible for them to join forces with Jinxia from the north, west, and south as originally planned. If they don't quickly change their formations to deal with it, the 9 people will be equivalent to the princess's plan. Meat only.

"Perhaps the opponent thinks that Jinxia City is still the top priority for our main force to protect. Instead of wasting time fighting for the sideline, it is better to press to the gate of the capital as soon as possible, and the one who attacks us must be saved. As long as we defeat Jinxia in the main force duel, victory will be guaranteed. It's still theirs." He Guicai tried to analyze.

"You mean, these frontier troops are just bait to distract our attention?" Ning Wanjun frowned, "Without the protection of the flanks, can they really attack the city with peace of mind?"

"This is also what confuses the staff, but one thing is certain, the Privy Council probably doesn't take the life and death of the frontier soldiers seriously."

"Hmph, it seems like they have always done it," Ning Wanjun sneered, "Since that's the case, we don't have to be polite, just completely wipe out these lone troops that come to our door!"

The Purpose Behind Chapter 492

By the Jiujiang River, in the tent of the military barracks in the Privy Council.

A group of generals were waiting outside the tent with sad faces, waiting for His Royal Highness Ning Qianshi to receive him.

However, after a while, what was waiting was a reply from His Highness's personal guard.

"Everyone, His Highness has already known the purpose of your visit. He understands your concerns, but the plan will not change. Everyone should speed up the pace and strive to arrive at Jinxia City as soon as possible."

"No... no change?" The head coach said in disbelief, "Our flanks are being eaten away by the opponent, and the previously established trend of mutual horns is no longer possible. How can we fight like this?"

"That's right!" The others responded immediately, "Moreover, the enemy harassed our fleet with mines every now and then. If they sent a fleet to attack, they would easily be outflanked by the opponent's fast boats. Even if they wanted to speed up their march, it would be difficult to do so."

"Even if we get to the city of Jinxia, ​​so what? Only the middle road is left in the three roads. The enemy can attack from both sides at any time, or cut off my back, or harass my flanks. How should the siege be carried out?"

"The enemy's intention is clearly to avoid the battle head-on and mainly attack the frontier army. Our army should immediately launch an anti-encirclement!"

"Their actions come and go without a trace. We can no longer count on a quick battle. If we want to restore the disadvantage, we have to join forces and take down a few strongholds first!"

"No, if this battle continues like this, it will be in danger of being destroyed. I have to see Your Highness!" The coach raised his foot and wanted to step into the tent.

"Does the general want to break into the core camp?" The guard immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife, and his tone was full of warning, "Now is not the period of King Qi, the Privy Council only needs executors, please think twice before acting!"

Immediately, someone grabbed the coach from behind, "Even at this time, isn't Your Highness willing to meet me?"

"Your Highness said that this is the highest instruction of the Privy Council. There is not much difference between seeing and seeing, so it is not worth wasting time on it. He also said that it is natural for the Privy Council to do so, and the chance of victory is often Hiding before dawn, you don’t need to be anxious, just do your job well and wait for the result.”

After finishing speaking, Qin Wei bowed his hands to everyone, as if he was done with it.

The general had to disperse as he came.

"This is the first time I have fought such a battle..."

"Forget it, since the Privy Council has recognized this method, we can only do our best."

The coach looked back at the tent.

From being full of confidence when he opened the call to being frustrated everywhere now, a bad premonition has already arisen in his heart.

I don't know when it started, this huge ten-state coalition army, facing the mere border of Shenzhou, was faintly at a disadvantage.

It was dusk at the moment.

But the usual golden clouds did not appear, and the sky in the distance was overcast, as if a heavy rain was coming.

……

Inside the tent, Bai Zhan put away the world chess game and opened his eyes slightly.

"How is it... the feeling of performing the fairy art." Sitting aside, Fei Nian asked with a smile on his face.

"That's right, there's a kind of carefree pleasure." Bai Zhan drew his breath into his body and let out a long sigh.He had previously agreed with the second prince's opinion that "immortal arts and alchemy arts are not fundamentally different", but only after he truly possessed them did he realize that there is a world of difference between the two.Wanting to master a fairy art with one's own strength, I'm afraid it will always be just a beautiful fantasy.

Because it is so complicated that it is difficult to describe it even in words.

"Surely you have come to a conclusion?"

"Yes, according to the deduction of the chess game, the feasibility of this matter is as high as [-]%." Baizhan said slowly, recalling the feeling of looking at the whole situation before, "According to the conventional tactics, the Privy Council's chance of winning is already zero."

"There's not even a single one?" Fei Nian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Although the Privy Council's vitality has been seriously injured, is Jinxia really that strong?"

"The world chess game judges that the outcome is no longer in the hands of alchemists." To be honest, when Xianshu deduced this answer, Baizhan was also shocked.As the two sides fought several times, more and more information was sent to the central army account. From this moment on, the winning rate of conventional tactics dropped again and again until it finally returned to zero.

If it was someone else, he might have doubts about it, but as a user of immortal arts, he could clearly see the "whole battle".When both reconnaissance and communication are suppressed by the enemy, no matter which area they choose to fight, the ten-state coalition forces will be hit head-on by Jinxia's long-range weapons.As for the qi sensers, Ssangyong's support can enable the enemy troops along the way to quickly obtain four green sword-level supplies. If any troops are temporarily disadvantaged, Jinxia can also inform the situation through real-time communication and send top qi sensers for reinforcements.

This is equivalent to offsetting the number advantage of the privy government's qi-sensing people, and they can not lose the wind in any alchemy contest along the way.

It can be said that as long as it is a head-on confrontation and there is no alchemist in charge, the end will inevitably be defeated.Unless you turn offense into defense and rely on the city to counter the opponent's flexible mobilization, you can persist for a longer time.

But...it's just persistence.

There has never been a war in the world that can be won by defending the city, and the Privy Council and Jinxia are no exception.

The generals outside the camp didn't realize at all that they were vulnerable in front of Jinxia's army. The world chess game can clarify the general trend of the world, but they can only see their own past glory.If this group of people were allowed to lead the army on their own, it would be nothing more than delaying the annihilation of the entire army by a few days.

Since they were all disastrous defeats, it is natural for the flanking army to display their due value.

"According to the next plan, just put—"

"No, you don't need to tell me the details." Fei Nian interrupted, "If you know the answer in advance, then the fun of the scene will be lost."

fun...?

Bai Zhan stared at the other party for a long time, and finally swallowed back the doubts on his lips.
