Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly when he saw it in his heart. As a general in the army, he naturally knew the corruption in the army of the Northern Qin Kingdom.

"Fortunately, His Majesty has made up his mind to change!"

Zhao Yun sighed softly, and then asked the soldiers to preach.

First of all, it is mentioned that soldiers who join the army have a monthly salary of four silver coins!

The surrounding crowd suddenly burst into commotion upon hearing this.

Four taels of silver a month means four taels and eight taels of silver that year, which is enough for an ordinary family of three to spend for a year, and there may even be a surplus.

Naturally, many people were moved.

But more people still sneered at this and commented in a low voice: "It's nice to say, isn't it also said that joining the army can get a monthly salary of two silver coins? But in fact, has anyone got it?"

"That's right, I have an elder brother who went to a county in the south to join the army. He agreed to pay two silver coins per month, but he only got a few hundred copper coins."

"Everyone, don't be fooled by them."

Although everyone discussed in low voices, but there were too many people, no matter how low the discussion was, it fell into Zhao Yun's ears.

Zhao Yun didn't explain much when he heard the words. With a wave of his hand, soldiers immediately opened the big silver box behind them.

The white snowflake silver glowed with silver light and caught everyone's eyes.

Immediately, the chattering crowd fell silent, and their eyes were attracted by the white snowflakes.

Zhao Yun said at the right time: "Your Majesty has an order that all soldiers who meet the requirements for joining the army, as long as they are registered, can advance one month's military pay in advance!"

"What? You can advance one month's military pay in advance? Could it be that the money is real?"

Many people exclaimed. They have lived for so many years, and they have never heard of the army asking soldiers to pay in advance.

Now, more people are tempted.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun threw out another heavy condition: "Your Majesty also said that as long as the soldiers died in battle, their families can receive three years of military pay as a one-time pension!"

"What? A pension is still paid?"

"When did the kingdom become so generous? Could it be a lie?"

"Fart! Your Majesty keeps his promises, how can he lie to others?"

"Why talk so much nonsense, so much money is there, just try it and you will know."

Immediately, someone couldn't stand anymore, a strong man stepped forward, cupped his hands at Zhao Yun, and said, "General, can I join the army?"

Zhao Yun looked at him, pointed to a three-foot-long black iron log next to him, and said, "As long as you can lift this black iron log, you are eligible."

Black iron wood is a very heavy and very hard wet wood. Although this one is only three feet long, it weighs 150 jin.

It was Zhao Yun who came here to test the soldiers' strength.

After all, recruiting soldiers can't always be to recruit weak chickens who have no power to restrain chickens!

The strong man walked over immediately, and picked up the black iron wood in one go.

"it is good!"

Zhao Yun clapped his hands and praised: "The warrior is so strong. After you come to register, you can pay the military salary in advance."

"Thank you General!"

The strong man put down the black iron wood, and then made a registration under the eyes of everyone.

Zhao Yun immediately asked someone to count four qian silver to the strong man, and said at the same time: "You can go back and say goodbye to your family now, and you must report back here before dark. Three thousand miles!"

At the same time, he also ordered today's Qiannan City to allow entry and not to exit, just to prevent people from taking silver as deserters.

The brawny man thought aloud, but he still said: "Don't worry, general, I, Jiang Laosi, have never been a person who broke his promise. I will definitely come back before dark."

Then, clutching the four qian silver, he happily went back to inform his family.

With the example of Jiang Laosi, there are more people who stand up and are willing to join the army.

When the second, third, and fourth soldiers got four silver coins, the others finally stopped doubting and immediately ran over to join the army.

Under Zhao Yun's arrangement, they lined up one by one, tested one by one, and those who met the conditions happily went back with four silver coins to inform their families.

Those who did not meet the conditions could only droop their heads and look enviously at those who met the conditions and got the silver.

Looking at Zhao Yun, he was also feeling emotional, His Majesty is really wise, if it weren't for this silver, he might not be able to recruit a few soldiers at all!

"Good plan!"

Not far away, a scribe couldn't help admiring Zhao Yun's recruiting scene.

Although money is scolded as a stinky thing, it is the most touching thing.

Distributing military pay on the spot can greatly change the people's concept of the army. Even if everyone does not love the army, it will not cause everyone to hate the army.

However, he didn't mean to join the army, but after watching it for a while, he left for the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, the middle-aged scribe arrived outside the city lord's mansion.

"stop!"

The Danyang soldiers who were in charge of guarding the City Lord's Mansion immediately stopped him and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the City Lord's Mansion?"

The middle-aged scribe cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Jia Xu, is a small official in the Ministry of Punishment, and I am here to ask His Majesty to see you."

Danyang Bing heard that he was an official of the Ministry of Punishment and asked to see His Majesty, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he asked Jia Xu to wait a while before going to inform Lu Zihong.

"What? Jia Xu asked to see me?"

Lu Zihong who got the news was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Great, Jia Xu is finally here."

Today, he lacks a top strategist by his side to advise him and formulate the next battle plan!

Jia Xu is just right!

He hurriedly asked, "Where is Jia Xu?"

The Danyang soldier hurriedly said: "It's just outside the city lord's mansion."

"it is good!"

Lu Zihong rubbed his hands together and said, "You bring him to see me immediately."

"Yes."

The soldiers were ordered to go down.

"No!"

But just two steps away, Lu Zihong said excitedly, "I should personally greet such a top strategist."

Then he walked quickly towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, he saw Jia Xu at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Jia Xu is eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance, with three long beards, deep-set eyes, and a hidden light inside.

When Jia Xu saw Lu Zihong, excitement appeared in Jia Xu's eyes, and just as he stepped forward to salute, Lu Zihong had already walked over quickly, grabbed Jia Xu's hand, and laughed loudly: "Wen He, you are here, I am here. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Jia Xu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Your Majesty knows about me?"

He is just a small official of the Ministry of Punishment, His Majesty is in the ninth five years, how would he know himself?

"Haha, Wen He is a great talent, how can I not know?"

Lu Zihong had already thought of an excuse, and said with a smile: "When I was the crown prince, all the officials in the Ministry of punishment were mediocre, and only Wen He could get into my eyes. It's a pity that I was only the crown prince at that time, so I couldn't interfere with the officials of the Ministry of punishment. Appointment and dismissal can only make Wenhe feel wronged and become a small official. I originally wanted to promote Wenhe after I ascended the throne, but I didn't want to..."

With a wry smile, he said: "But I didn't expect that my good emperor uncle would dare to rebel, and I didn't expect that he had so many followers in the court. He caught me by surprise and had to flee to Qiannan City."
