Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

"Master Chang, I want to join the army!"

"Master Chang, I want to join the army too!"

"I want it too, I want it too..."

Chang Daoyan looked at the group of people who rushed to join the army. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately frowned and drove them away.

"Nonsense, you are all local students, how can scholars join the army!" He had seen these students before, and each of them was extraordinary in literary talent. Even if they were not so outstanding, they were good enough to teach and educate people, so how could they join the army?

Don’t they know that they are voting for the anti-treason team?

Have they lost all the knowledge they have gained from the sage books over the years?

"Master Chang, we heard that Master Lan loves his soldiers like his own sons. It is a great honor for scholars like us to be able to serve under him!"

"Master Chang, all the students in the private school have dropped out. If we don't find another way out, our whole family will starve to death if we don't survive this month!"

"Master Chang, I heard that if you join the army, you will get two taels of silver, and you will also get rice and cotton clothes. My family is poor, and I have too many brothers and sisters. I don't even have a decent piece of clothing. Fortunately, I heard someone say that Master Lan's guard station not only provides three meals a day, but also meat for every meal, and thick cotton clothes. I beg Master Chang to accept me."

"Master Chang, please have mercy and give us a chance to live!"

Chang Daoyan felt extremely sad when he saw the people suffering from hunger, cold and frostbite.

As a local official, his duty is to ensure that the local people have enough food and clothing, but he has failed in his duty!

But, he is a rebel...

These people just want to have three meals a day and be fully clothed. Looking at their appearance, if this problem is not solved quickly, they may not survive this winter!

The strings of cold numbers in the disaster reports of previous years deeply hurt Chang Daoyan's heart!

"Alright, I'll take you to the garrison myself. If you decide to join the army then, I won't stop you. If you don't want to join the army, I'll take you out even if I risk my life!"

"Thank you, Lord Chang. Lord Chang is the great judge..."

……

"Bring the people to the garrison?" Shen Lanxi asked with a raised eyebrow.

Wei Dongzhu thought: "I'm afraid they are here to verify the truth. There may be spies among these people. It's best not to let them enter the guard post!"

Shen Lanxi shook her head: "Let them in, you lead them yourself. If there are spies inside, deal with them quietly!"

"……Yes!"

Wei Dongzhu brought two soldiers from the Wei family and watched them personally.

The time chosen by Chang Daoyan happened to be the meal time for the garrison. There were hundreds of people in the garrison, eating in batches in an orderly manner. Every soldier had a smile on his face, but they were not in a hurry.

"Master Chang, they don't eat black steamed buns. They use white flour."

"Master Chang, there is meat in their bowls, several pieces, as well as tofu and cabbage."

"Master Chang, they each had three big steamed buns and a full bowl of vegetables. The vegetables were filled with oil and smelled so good!"

"Master Chang..."

Chang Daoyan was already broken by the words "Master Chang" one by one. If he hadn't decided to come to the guard post at the last minute, if the food hadn't been placed here, if these people hadn't eaten voraciously without fighting over it, obviously already used to it, he would have thought it was fake, done for him to see!

Boy Lan Xi, if you provide so much food and drink to so many soldiers, aren't you afraid that the food supplies will be eaten up in a few days?

The spring in Dongchuan is different from other places. After the spring, the temperature here is still the same as in winter. Even if he has food now, he should be careful with his budget instead of eating and drinking so much.

He is really not in charge of the household and doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. In order to win the hearts of the soldiers, he is really willing to do anything!

"Master Chang, we are willing to sign up. If we sign up now, can we eat here?"

"Master Chang, I haven't eaten for two days!"

"Master Chang..."

Wei Dongzhu glanced at Chang Daoyan and said, "Master Chang, are you here to send them to join the army?"

The people following Chang Daoyan all looked at him hopefully.

Even though he knew there must be a conspiracy, it was difficult for Chang Daoyan to say no!

"...If they join the army now, can they have food now?" After Chang Daoyan said this, he felt like a floodgate in his heart suddenly opened.

As long as the people in the jurisdiction can have food to eat, it doesn’t matter whether they are rebels or something else.

"Is there a place to recruit soldiers here?" Chang Daoyan asked with a red face.

Wei Dongzhu led the way: "Follow me!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately ordered his men: "Tell the kitchen to add 50 more meals!"

"Yes!"

In the next few days, Chang Daoyan brought people to see it, one on the first day, two on the second day... and a group on the fifth day!

Shen Lanxi began to sell large quantities of charcoal, and carrier pigeons and hawks flew out one after another. After two days, carrier pigeons and hawks flew back one after another.

After Shen Lanxi finished sending and receiving the letters, she began to deal with official documents!

The documents on her desk were submitted after going through several rounds of screening, and the people who screened them were all students from Qinglan Academy.

"Establish literacy classes in the garrisons and set aside half an hour every day for literacy classes."

Cheng Zheng and Sang Guo were recording on the side!

"Recruiting female soldiers!"

A drop of ink falls on rice paper.

Cheng Zheng and others widened their eyes!

Shen Lanxi: "Those who are poor can send their daughters to join the army. They can be female guards, doctors, cooks, or embroiderers!"

"One more thing, female soldiers enjoy the same treatment as male soldiers!"

Is this really necessary? Cheng Zheng wrote quickly.

Shen Lanxi: "Write it. I will report to Ma Feng in person later. Most of the military households in the village have been confiscated and there is no one to cultivate the land."

Although Cheng Zheng and others were so anxious that they were sweating, they could not speak and could only write down their advice word by word!

Before he finished writing, he was interrupted by Shen Lanxi.

"I've made up my mind!"

Cheng Zheng was afraid that Shen Lanxi would misunderstand, so he quickly unfolded the paper.

It reads: "We do not despise women!"

Sang Guo: "A big tree attracts the wind, it will be hard to explain to the higher-ups!"

Shen Lanxi: "I understand what you mean. Do you think they have time to care whether women or men join the army now?"

This question stumped them.

"As long as you cultivate all the land during farming, no one will ask even if you have to recruit a group of dogs!"

“……”This is so true!

Women in the Great Zhou Dynasty were already of low status, and many people sold their wives and daughters to survive. Now that there was chaos and turmoil outside, a woman was already expensive if she could be exchanged for half a bag of rice.

Now, when they heard that female guards were being recruited and given silver and food, some poor families living in the deep mountains would take their daughters to the guard post day and night!

"Son, here you can eat well and wear warm clothes, and you won't be abused by others. If it weren't for your grandparents and your younger brothers and sisters to take care of, mother would want to come here too!"

"Girl, this is a good place. You are too young. If you want to survive, you have to beg them to take you in. Later, you rush over and hold on to that person's legs. Don't let go. You can survive if you have enough food to eat, understand?"

"Two taels is too little. My sister is a virgin. Chunxiangyuan gives her ten taels... Ouch, why are you hitting me~"
