Thank you for your monthly ticket for Fu Fu forfor, thank you little boat.

After resting comfortably at home for a few days, Xu Changqing began to shift his focus to the affairs of Fengguo Town, villages around Tiemen Pass, and township ministry.
The military garrison system of the Ming Dynasty was first established by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. It can be said to be a genius idea that gathers the talents of hundreds of schools. It can be used to raise millions of soldiers without spending a grain of rice or grain of the court.
In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang successfully made a Northern Expedition and defeated the Mongols. Later, Cheng Zuye chased the Mongols deeper and farther away, and the military garrison system made great contributions.
Unfortunately, the hourglass of time is too powerful.
Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the military garrison system has become corrupt. Later, when Kong Youde was in chaos in Shandong, more than a dozen garrisons in Shandong could not even take out hundreds or dozens of soldiers, so he could only recruit war soldiers at high prices.
At this time, the military households were already infamous and were nowhere better than beggars.
Although Xu Changqing is different and has been planning for a long time, he has been winning the hearts of the people, but because of the obstacles of those sects who are unconscience, Xu Changqing's prestige is incapable of doing anything to them for the time being.
But at this time, after eating the foundation of Gui Ye, Xu Changqing was rich and powerful at this time, and the time for operation was ripe.
...
Soon, an amazing news came from Fengguo Town and the villages and towns around Tiemen Pass.
If anyone joins the military camp, he can get a settlement fee of five taels of silver. In addition, Zhongyi Bo Xu Changqing will invest in buying the fields cultivated by the people and giving them directly.
If anyone can continue to open up the land, they will also receive a reward from the cash bank.
As soon as this news came out, it soon exploded in the surrounding villages and towns.
Five taels of silver.
It is indeed nothing to the powerful and noble family. It may not be enough for a meal, but for ordinary people, they may never have seen so much money in their lifetime.
Not to mention, Xu Changqing would buy the land they cultivated and give it to them.
This made the prestige of the sects unable to suppress the enthusiasm of the people.
Who will not be able to live with money and good life?
"Haha, Grandmaster, in just one day today, there are more than 300 ordinary people coming to ask about it, and there are more than 130 households who have received our deposit. If nothing unexpected happens, in just three or two days, things can be settled immediately."
In the evening, in the temporary official hall, Yang Zhongliang excitedly reported to Xu Changqing's work.
After so many years, although Yang Zhongliang is just a housekeeper, he is also a "half-golden collar" of the Ming Dynasty, but he has never been as comfortable as he was at this time.
Thinking of the excited appearances of the people, those who were usually humble and accompanied by good looks, but only had the helpless appearance of the sect elders who were cold-eyed, Yang Zhongliang's heart was sweeter than eating honey.
Xu Changqing was in a good mood, and smiled and said, "Brother Liang, this is just the beginning. We are now buying horse bones with a wealth of money. We must deal with the follow-up affairs properly and try our best to solve the troubles of the people. In addition, we must pay attention to the methods of the exchange of villages and land."
Of course, Yang Zhongliang understood what Xu Changqing meant, and he was hurriedly nodding: "Master, don't worry. I've been nailed to somewhere in these days."
Seeing Yang Zhongliang leaving vigorously, Xu Changqing felt more and more happy.
The people are actually the kindest group, but they are also the most difficult group to deal with.
If you want to get them on the right track, you must not only move them with emotion, but also understand them with benefits!
Fengguo Town and the more than a thousand families around Tiemen Pass are Xu Changqing's best pilot project.
...
As expected, in the next few days, more than 600 households received Xu Changqing's deposit and began to register and make a book on Xu Changqing's side.
This means that the population of more than 4,000 and nearly 5,000 have begun to be controlled by Xu Changqing.
Although many of the remaining people are still waiting and watching, the expectation is no longer concealed.
As long as the distribution results of these newly added populations come out, those people will definitely not be able to sit still.

live.
However, if they want to get the greatest benefit, it will be impossible.
Not only that, Xu Changqing is also preparing to cut off some people, especially the direct families of the clan elders!
Without widening the gap, how can people know the preciousness of opportunities?
...
With veterans such as Yang Zhongliang and Uncle Hong, Xu Changqing also focused all his energy on military training.
At the same time, select qualified seedlings from these newly joined families.
At this time, Xu Changqing had no shortage of silver and food, but the population was short of people.
Fortunately, Xu Changqing hired a group of workers from Cangzhou before, and many of these people stayed in the camp to work, reducing a lot of manpower burden.
Through these subtle influences of time, Xu Changqing began to influence them, encouraged their family to immigrate to Haicheng, and also offered them a settlement fee of five taels of silver and provided land guarantees.
This made many people instantly moved.
Some young people admire Xu Changqing's reputation and directly choose to give up the labor work and join the army directly.
Naturally, Xu Changqing, the group of sensible people, was given a preferential treatment. As long as their families came here, they would have a settlement fee of ten taels of silver, and at least twenty acres of land were guaranteed.
This made all the men in Cangzhou excited and quickly contacted their families, preparing to move their families to Haicheng.
At the same time, more and more people choose to join the army.
This led to Xu Changqing collecting more than 2,000 combat soldiers in late April, and the size of the troops suddenly expanded to nearly 5,000 people.
But the troops' manpower was sufficient, but the construction labor was insufficient.
Fortunately, Xu Changqing has money and food at this time, and he can continue to grow up!
In early May, the team's drill began to enter the track.
The bird gun soldiers have expanded to nearly 300, while the spear soldiers have more than 3,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 500 slingshot soldiers.
In addition, the more than 600, nearly 700 cavalry left behind in Zhanhua, as well as various auxiliary sailors of No. 16700, Xu Changqing's skeleton gradually began to take shape.
The ninth day of the fifth month.
After several months of careful review and polishing, Xu Changqing reorganized his army and began to further the structure of the regular army, streamlined some unnecessary and cumbersome procedures, and moved the army towards modernization.
Haicheng North Camp.
This is also Xu Changqing's main camp.
Early in the morning, there were flags and warriors.
All the forces in the Haicheng area were gathered here, and the auxiliary soldiers had exceeded 6,000 people.
Xu Changqing also arrived at the camp early.
At this time, standing from Xu Changqing's perspective, although the soldiers were of different heights, fatness and thinness, and the colors on many people's faces had not been completely removed, everyone's faces were full of pride and hope, and they were straight like sharp javelins.
They are now warriors under the famous Zhongyi Bo, not to mention various treatments, which are better than many accountants and housekeepers.
Around Xu Changqing.
Zhao Zengjin, Xu Xiu, Mao Qun, Mao Tiech, Wang Anshan, Zhang Dagong, Li Zhu, and Tang Ruowang were all in military uniforms and served Xu Changqing on both sides.
The foreigner, Ruowang, also changed into a bright red Qianhu official robe. Although it was a bit inappropriate, his eyes were full of firmness, as if he had already had a sense of identity with this land, Xu Changqing, and these proud men.
However, the gathering began from the end of Mao hour, including Xu Changqing, and everyone gathered at Chen hour, but no one spoke and was standing in the military posture.
This made the big girls and young wives watching around them all speechless, not understanding what Xu Changqing was going to do.
During the Chen hour, the sun rose and the sunlight gradually began to burn. Many people were sweating, but no one moved around, and so was Xu Changqing.
Finally, another moment passed, Yang Zhongliang, Ma Luan, Uncle Hong and others walked into the venue solemnly and solemnly, and they were carrying a huge flag together.
Unfortunately, the flag has not been unfolded at this time, no one can

Know what the flag looks like.
Yang Zhongliang and the others also walked slowly, solemnly, firmly and full of ritual.
After walking around the yard for a week, this was the only way to respectfully come to the high platform.
Immediately, Yang Zhongliang knelt respectfully, and with the assistance of Ma Luan and Uncle Hong beside him, he raised the flag high above his head and shouted: "I, Yang Zhongliang, is currently the Haicheng Manager. On behalf of Haicheng and Zhanhua and Lijin, he presented this flag to the Grand Marshal!"
Soon, several tall personal soldiers who had been waiting for a long time respectfully took over the military flag and respectfully came to Xu Changqing's side, and handed the military flag to Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing took the military flag and stroked it carefully for a while, and then handed it over to these personal soldiers again.
The personal soldiers took the flags to the flagpole next to the high platform, carefully tied the flag to the entrance of the flagpole, and then knelt on one knee, respectfully shouting to Xu Changqing's direction: "Master, you are ready, you can raise the flag!"
Xu Changqing finally said the first sentence at this time: "Rise the flag!"
"yes!"
Suddenly, the sound of drums sounded in the solemn tent.
In the majestic and rhythmic rhythm of "dongdongdongdongdong", several tall personal soldiers who were like later generations began to raise the flag in a manner that had been practiced several times.
"Hare to the military flag!"
At this time, Zhao Zengjin roared like a tiger.
