In the city of Panyu, the people consciously stood on both sides of the avenue, watching the long line of prison cars passing by, pointing and discussing, and many of them had hatred in their eyes.

Most of these people have never read a book, can't read a few words, and don't know anything about political struggle. Their ideas are very simple and simple, and they feel that these arrested must be corrupt officials. The fish and meat of the common people.

Cui Yin sat slumped in the prison car, his face was ashen, and his heart was full of annoyance. He just wanted to try to attack the position of the governor, but he didn't expect Qi Wang Xiaojie to attack so quickly, decisively and ruthlessly. He didn't even need a face-to-face. Being reduced to a prisoner, I knew it would be better to just die in the position of deputy governor. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

The officials in the prison car behind him didn't have his mentality and concentration of not crying and making trouble. They all cursed Cui Yin in front of him for not dragging them into the water, or they cried and shouted that they had made contributions to Jiaozhou , you can't arrest me, you want to see King Qi...

The prison car in the busy city shows the people on both sides what is called officialdom.

When the prison car team was marching to the north gate, Ye Qiu stood alone at the gate of the city and calmly watched these officials who intended to oppose Xiao Jie, and they were escorted out of the city to Luoyang one by one from the front of his eyes, his eyes were neither sad nor happy.

All he knew was that the downfall of these officials meant that no one in Jiaozhou could restrain His Royal Highness from now on, and His Highness would become the new Lord of Jiaozhou, fully in charge of the military and political power of Jiaozhou.

After all the prison cars were escorted out of the city, the people who followed behind to watch did not disperse immediately, but still pointed at the team of prison cars that was drifting away from a distance.

Ye Qiu also decided to take advantage of the large number of people and do a good job of what Xiao Jie told him.

He took a notice from the soldier behind him, neatly pasted it on the side of the city gate, and then stood aside.

"clang--"

A soldier held a gong and hammered hard. It is the nature of the people to like to watch the excitement. The crowd gathered around at once, wanting to know what was written on the announcement.

But people’s livelihood in Jiaozhou is poor. Even the city of Panyu, which is the governor of the state, is not much better. Many people don’t eat their last meal, and eating is a problem. Naturally, they don’t have spare money to read and write. Because they are illiterate, they can only ask each other about the contents of the notice.

"The Metropolitan Government is recruiting recruits!"

Ye Qiu could also see that few of the onlookers could understand the content above, so he simply said the core content of the announcement aloud.

As soon as they heard that recruits were being recruited, the onlookers felt bored, but many young and strong men changed their expressions slightly, and wanted to run away on the spot.

The former governor had just commanded [-] Jiaozhou children to die in Jiaozhi. I don’t know how many parents lost their sons, how many wives lost their husbands, and how many children lost their fathers. A soldier who is willing to do this terrible job.

Seeing that the onlookers were about to disperse, Ye Qiu calmly shouted, "The monthly salary is three thousand copper coins."

The onlookers seemed to have stepped on the super glue on the soles of their feet, and they couldn't walk for a moment. Many people wondered if there was something wrong with their ears. What the other party said was not three thousand copper coins but three hundred copper coins.

After all, the monthly salaries given to soldiers by the previous governors were not too different. Depending on the specific types of troops, they ranged from [-] cash to [-] cash, and they were often in arrears. more.

Ye Qiu seemed to be able to see that the people onlookers didn't believe him, smiled slightly, and continued to add loudly: "I repeat, the monthly salary is [-] Wen copper coins, which is paid out on time and in full every month, and there will be additional silver rewards for meritorious service or promotion. By the way, it is also guaranteed that each soldier can eat a meal of meat within three days."

The onlookers were in an uproar in an instant, three thousand coins...on time...full amount...rewarding silver...eat meat, every word hit their minds heavily, and many people were a little moved for a while.

You know, what is the concept of [-] Wen in Panyu City? Lingnan, as the name suggests, has many mountains and little arable land. Many people go to work as coolies and get only fifty or sixty Wen. Working hard, the income is only about [-] yuan a month, which is barely enough to feed the family.

But if the loud general in front of him didn't lie to them, it meant that if he went to serve as a soldier, his family would be able to eat enough with his own salary of [-] Wen, and they might even be able to add a new piece of clothes during the festival. If I have a chance to make meritorious service, I will get a reward, and my child may be able to study in a private school. In the future, I will also have the opportunity to be a Jinshi and become a high-ranking official, even if I fail the imperial examination. It would be nice to be a cashier.

Ye Qiu seemed to have seen the emotion in the eyes of many people, and immediately clapped his hands while the iron was hot, and soon several soldiers came out carrying several large boxes.

Ye Qiu randomly opened one of the boxes, grabbed a large handful of new yellow copper coins from it, let go of his hand, and the copper coins fell back into the box from between his fingers, making pleasant metal crashing sounds, hitting It made every onlooker feel itchy, and the golden luster dazzled them so much that they couldn't keep their eyes open.

"Register now, as long as you can be selected by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, you will be rewarded with the usual money immediately." Ye Qiu smiled slightly, added fuel to the fire, and then changed the subject, and kindly reminded, "By the way, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is here Only 1 people will be recruited this time."

"Master Jun, I want to sign up!"

……

As soon as they heard that the number of places was limited, the people couldn't bear it any longer. Many young and strong immediately raised their hands high and yelled loudly, as if they were afraid that Ye Qiu would not be able to see or hear their own hands. sound.

Although it is said that good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not serve as a soldier, but the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion really gave too much.

Many elderly people can only shake their heads and sigh, hating their parents for giving birth to them early and missing out on such a good thing.

Seeing that everyone responded positively and raised their hands to enlist in the army, Ye Qiu was not in a hurry. He just ordered the generals in charge of the recruitment work to be careful and ensure the quality of the recruits. Not to mention that everyone is physically strong, but at least Guaranteed that there are no disabled, mentally retarded people mixed in to make up for it, otherwise if something goes wrong, he and His Highness will take him for questioning.

The generals nodded in agreement, and Ye Qiu felt relieved to leave the city gate and return to the Governor's Mansion to report to Xiao Jie.
