Chapter 245 Recruitment
Prefect Tian, the county magistrates and the chief clerks of each county all opened their mouths in shock.
They looked at Xiao Yunzhan on the altar in confusion.
Isn't the salary of a soldier a bit too much? These things should be the treatment that only a centurion can have.
This is the treatment that the soldiers under King Yongchang receive. There is no need to fight for other cities. Just tell them about the treatment and those cities will surrender faster than anything else.
In years of famine, 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 with 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 to be a soldier..."
"There are two people in my family who meet the requirements, so I'll sign up for both..."
"Haha... I am just 40 years old, 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 to join the army..."
"I want to be a soldier too. I am taller at 12 than at 13, so I can do it..."
"......"
The people on the parade ground were clamoring to sign up, wishing they could get their salaries right away so they could go home and 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 go to your respective local chief registrars to register. If you meet the requirements, ask the chief registrars to issue a certificate, and then go to Zhu Baihu to collect your salary."
"Today is August 8th. From now on, you will receive your 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 a good idea to give more gifts.
After the people kowtowed several times, they hurriedly got up 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 such scenes, immediately divided the 63 people from Zhujia Village into five groups, one responsible for the distribution of 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 of the people were suffocating and almost fainted that they took a quick breath.
Prefect Tian, who was helping to maintain order, suddenly found that the crowd had suddenly become quiet, and everyone seemed to be frozen in time after turning around, with their mouths wide open in idiocy.
He frowned slightly and looked in the direction where 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, then walked over with trembling feet.
"King Yongchang, these... things are simply given to the people by the Divine King?"
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 blessed, as they can live such a good life easily.
"The people's health has been damaged too much. They have been hungry for too long. If they eat coarse grains all of a sudden, their bodies may not be able to sustain it."
Xiao Yunzhan glanced at Lin Yiran helplessly.
The food that Lin Yiran had taken out before were all white bread and steamed buns. He suggested getting some coarse grains as a transition.
But Lin Yiran disagreed, saying that if he wanted to fight, he had to keep his body healthy 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 was short of coarse grains in her space. After all, the granaries in so many cities and the large and small granaries in the capital had been emptied by her, so there were 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 must 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.
