Chapter 20 Recruitment plan
Liu said confidently: "The bandits in Shaanxi cause chaos and the world is in chaos. The imperial court dispatched several provincial officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. There is no problem, but they did not face this problem. What is the key? "
Liu Zhongyong said: "What are the great ideas of the young master?"
Liu Bu said: "The key to this problem is the bandits, not the military, but the political problem. They did not consider why these people rebelled, but instead killed them blindly. The reason why these people rebelled was because they had no food to eat and couldn't do anything when they had no food to eat? The officers and soldiers did not ask for the reason, just killed them, burned, killed, robbed them all the way, and did not leave any chickens and dogs everywhere. As a result, they caused more hatred, more enemies, more enemies, and more enemies, and one day they would become uncontrollable.
Liu Zhongyong was moved and said, "Young Master Gao, you see him." Only then did he understand the sufferings of the people and what everyone needs.
Liu Bu said: "It's not that I use any high opinion? It's because the officials in the court, the meat eaters are despised and short-sighted. They only see their own interests and cannot see the interests of others. People have to eat, and people have to starve to death without food. Who would be willing to be starved to death? When there is no food, is there any other choice besides rebellion?"
Liu Zhongyong said: "Young Master's great insight."
Liu Bu said: "If the court did not change its current strategic policies, the bandits would only suppress more and more, and eventually become uncontrollable and everyone would be finished."
Liu Zhongyong said: "All the officials in the court are all well-educated people and are extraordinary. Anyone will always recognize this problem, right?"
Liu Bu said: "Even if they realize this problem, there is no way to solve it. The Ming Dynasty court was the court of the rich, not the court of the poor. It was impossible to think about the poor and do things that hurt the rich and help the poor. Therefore, the court could not solve this problem at all, so it could only delay."
Liu Zhong said: "The young master is too pessimistic."
Liu Bu said: "As strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties were destroyed by the peasant uprising army, our dynasty was even weaker, and this aspect was even worse. Moreover, after 260 years of development, land annexation, and a huge gap between the rich and the poor, these problems were not solved at all. Just as the Liu Mansion, the Liu Mansion is so rich and luxurious. There are not many people from Fushanwei outside who can eat enough. Such an imperial court is like a pile of grass everywhere, and sparks are just waiting for that spark."
When Liu Bu said this, Liu Zhongyong couldn't say anything for a while, but he thought he was very powerful, so he said: "The last general suggested that the young master consider recruiting soldiers from the Liao people."
Liu Bu said: "Liao people?"
Shandong people have a bad impression of the Liao people. The Wuqiao mutiny is a product of conflicts between the locals and the Liao people.
Liu Zhongyong said: "Does the young master also have opinions about the Liao people like others?"
Liu Bu said: "I have no objection. I have always used it. As long as it can be used for me, I don't care about his origin or who he is."
Liu Zhongdao said: "That's good. The Liao people were occupied by Jiannu. Most of them were Jiannu's irreconcilable blood hatred. When they came to Shandong, they were helpless and had no place to eat and live. Moreover, these Liao people were able to cross the sea from Jiannu's pursuit. They were generally strong and able to fight. If they could recruit them, they could train them into an army with a little training. Several Dongfu recruited soldiers from the Liao people."
Liu Bu said: "It is not a problem to recruit these people. I am afraid that it will be difficult to discipline after recruiting them. Another Wuqiao mutiny."
Liu Zhongyong said: "Isn't the boss's approach very good? It's just that he spends a lot of money?"
Liu Yuanqiao implemented a policy of elite soldiers, and he had one thing, that is, he would recruit good soldiers, and he was skilled in archery and horses, and could fight and kill soldiers. More importantly, he would recruit a family in one move. If he didn't bring his family, he would not recruit them. Then the soldiers worked for him, and the family would work in his farm, as if he was a hostage.
You can say that this is very popular among the Liao people. Everyone says that the Liu family is kind and everyone takes pride in entering the Liu family. It can be said that as long as the Liu family recruits people, they will immediately fill the door line. As long as the Liu family enters the Liu family, it is equivalent to the whole family having a settlement, which is unique in other places.
Liu Bu said: "Although the Liu family is very rich, if the money is not protected by enough force, it is afraid it will not be retained. Therefore, the situation is critical now, and I hope to recruit at least 800 servants."
800 servants are not short of them. Now, the generals in the Jiubian general towns are estimated to be around 1,000 servants around each person, and the Shandong general Liu Zeqing will not have more than 1,000 servants. Liu Bu doesn't do this, but he is actually very ambitious.
There are not many people who can afford to support hundreds of scholars, but they dare to do this. They are either extremely pessimistic about the situation or have a disobedient heart.
Liu Zhongyong understood this very well, but he was also a servant of the Liu family. He signed a dead contract. He was both prosperous and both rich and loss of both. However, he was loyal to the old master. Liu Yuanqiao is just asking him to be an assistant next to the young master Liu Bu.
Since he is asked to be his assistant, he must do his best to assist Liu Bu. As long as Liu Bu does not do anything that hurts his father's interests, he will do his best to support and help.
The current Liu family has more than 200 servants in the Fushan District area, which means that they have to recruit at least 600 servants to join their team.
This matter is a bit taboo, but there is no problem. After all, Liu Bu is the Qianhu Lord and General Wude of Fushan Guard. In name, it can have 1,000 soldiers.
And Liu Zhongyong also understood that the old man asked Liu Bu to come here, not to let him eat, drink and have fun, but to let him guard the house and protect the hospital. The young master wanted to do this and wanted to please his father and do the things well. He felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and said, "There is no problem, I will help the young master implement this."
Liu Bu said: "I don't have to worry about doing things. If you need any help, just speak up."
Liu Zhongyong said: "Recruiting 600 family-level figures means we need a lot of money, a lot of food, and other things I can do for you. It's the money and food issue. You must take action yourself, Master."
Liu Bu said, "There is no problem, I will be responsible for these things. I don't care about money and food. I just need you to help me recruit more good soldiers and train to become an elite force. If you have any trouble in the family, you can play a role."
Liu Zhongyong said: "Young Master, you can rest assured. I am also a member of the Liu family. I will prosper with the Liu family and lose with each other."
Liu Bu thought about it and called the old butler Liu Fuqi over, then told him about this matter once, and asked: "What will be difficult to implement it? Will we have problems with money and food?"
Liu Fuqi said: "It's better to say hello to the master. As long as the master nods, money and food are not a problem, and resettlement of these people is not a problem. I will find a way."
Liu Fuqi is also Liu Yuanqiao's confidant. He is only loyal to Liu Yuanqiao. As long as Liu Yuanqiao speaks, he will do it even if he fights his best. At present, the young master is going to recruit soldiers in large quantities, which is quite a taboo. The master must nod in order to dare to cooperate with all his strength.
Liu Bu said: "No problem. I will immediately report to my father. I will send it to him by the fast horse. I should be able to go and return one day after another. The result will be the day after tomorrow. But I think my father will definitely agree. Even if he does not agree with so many people, he will be at most half and recruit 400 people. So I hope that Liu Boer, you can help me to release the news first and start to contact some strong and fight-friendly people to compete. When the above order comes, we can immediately make drastic moves and do it quickly."
Liu Zhongyong smiled and said, "But I hope the young master can understand that training troops is not something that can be done overnight. It takes a long time and consumes a lot of food. Moreover, the more soldiers, the better, the better. The soldiers are about the essence, not the more they are."
Liu Bu said, "I understand, I, Liu Bu, raises soldiers, just raises wolves. Wolves eat meat when they travel thousands of miles away, and dogs eat shit for thousands of miles away. They will have meat when they travel thousands of miles away."
Liu Zhongyong was a little surprised at what Liu Bu said, but if he said this, there would be no problem. It is a luxury to have a full meal this year, and it is not difficult to recruit soldiers. All he had to do was to recruit people and train the troops well.
When Liu Zhongyong thought of this, he nodded immediately and said, "No problem, I'll do it right away." He suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "This matter is quite serious. Even if you can't do it alone, I would like to ask the young master for help?"
Liu Bu said: "No problem, I need money and people in one word."
Liu Zhongyong said: "This matter is a big deal, and I will do it alone. I hope the young master will send a few people to help. For example, Liu Kang and Liu Yu around the young master are very smart and smart. If they come to my side to help, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Liu Bu said: "No problem. They will follow your arrangements and follow your orders. Liu Juntou, I hope you understand one thing: I do things, don't doubt people, don't use doubts. I trust you, just do things with peace of mind, don't have to have so many other ideas."
Liu Zhongyong bowed and said, "Okay! I'll do it like this."
After Liu Zhongyong left, Liu Fu said angrily: "Young Master is a little too hasty to do this?"
Liu Bu said: "I also want to take it slowly step by step, but the situation is not optimistic. My father sent me back to his hometown because he was afraid that something might happen to us father and son in the same place and the Liu family would have no way out. So I will strengthen my strength here and wait for Linqing to have something to do, so I can help."
