The first thousand one hundred and forty-seven chapters recruit talents
This team that came over was thirteen families from Dezhuang. Under the leadership of Ruan De, they traveled day and night for seven days and finally arrived in Yuchi County.
"Where are you from?" Xu Pei ran forward and asked.
Ruan De stepped forward and saluted: "We are the people of Dezhuang, Chuqiu County, Guide Prefecture. The government notified us to move inland, so we traveled three hundred miles and came to Yuchi County."
"Do you have a migration certificate from the government?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Ruan De took out a thick stack of relocation certificates and comforted Zhang Xiao. He thought carefully. Every household has a relocation certificate, including the number of people in the family, names, relationships, etc., which must be written clearly. The receiving government will rely on the relocation certificate to
Receive the immigrants, register them as residents, and then use the migration certificate to receive food subsidies and resettlement financial subsidies from the Department of Peace and Security.
Xu Pei looked at the certificate, then at the team of more than a hundred people, and smiled: "There are thirteen households in total, right!"
"Exactly!"
"Come on! You go to the big tent to rest and eat first, and use the toilet if you need to. Then we will assign you a big tent. After two or three days of rest, we will send you to your new home."
Everyone helped the children and the elderly out of the cart, and Xu Pei shouted again: "Just take the things you carry with you, and take the big items after they are distributed in the big tent."
The crowd helped the old and the young towards a big tent, where steamed buns seemed to be steaming, and someone was waving to them.
Yu Shou was watching them on horseback. At this time, his eyes fell on Ruan De. Seeing that this man was so majestic and tall, he seemed to be the leader of this group of people. It would be a pity not to join the army with this figure.
At this time, Yu Shou's eyes fell on the wooden stick in Ruan De's hand. This wooden stick was a full foot long and slightly thicker than his wrist. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. When he took a closer look, he suddenly took a breath of air. This wooden stick was in the man's hand.
What he was holding turned out to be an iron rod, weighing at least sixty or seventy pounds.
Not only that, he was holding an iron rod in his left hand, holding his young son in his right hand, and carrying a basket on his back, which contained blacksmith's tools, weighing at least fifty or sixty kilograms, and almost a hundred and fifty kilograms in total.
Still so relaxed and comfortable.
"That man, what's your name?" Yu Shou asked with a smile.
Ruan De looked back at Yu Shou, "Master, are you calling me?"
Yu Shou nodded, and Ruan De quickly said: "The villain's name is Ruan De, and he is a blacksmith."
Yu Shou smiled slightly and said, "You go and stay first!"
Ruan De bowed slightly and left with his wife and children...
After eating and resting for a while, we began to allocate big tents. According to each family, one big tent. If there are too many people, such as two brothers who are married and the family has not been divided, then it will be divided into two big tents.
The division will also take place at this time.
In the afternoon, Ruan De was packing up his blacksmith tools in the big tent. Suddenly he heard someone calling him outside. He walked out of the big tent quickly and saw that it was the official from the morning.
Ruan De clasped his fists and saluted: "The county gentleman has something to do with this villain?"
Yu Shou smiled slightly and asked, "Sir Ruan seems to be good at martial arts?"
"My father taught me a few punches and kicks, and I have a few kilograms of stupid strength, but there is no martial arts at all!"
Yu Shou pointed to a bullock cart next to him and smiled: "There is a millstone on the cart. Can you try and take it off the cart for me?"
Ruan De stepped forward and was immediately shocked. He had never seen such a big millstone, which weighed four to five hundred kilograms. However, he was just surprised by the size of the millstone, not that he couldn't lift it. He used both arms to lift the millstone.
Get off the bullock cart.
"Sir, where can I take it?"
"Bring it to the kitchen, next to where you are eating. It would be best if Ruan Zhuangshi can lift it above his head."
Ruan De shouted loudly, lifted the five-hundred-jin stone mill above his head, and walked toward the kitchen one hundred and twenty steps away, causing everyone to scream in surprise wherever he passed.
Yu Shou followed behind. Although he didn't know martial arts and didn't know what level of strength he had, he was still very satisfied.
Yu Shou was the county captain, and he recruited soldiers as well. This time the Western Army recruited 80,000 soldiers. The recruitment task received by Henan Road was 20,000 soldiers. Then it was broken down into counties. Yuchi County was allocated 200 soldiers.
Two hundred people are not too many, and Yu Shou has already recruited them, but he still lacks a commander to lead the two hundred people. This is a real indicator of the military commander, and it can be regarded as a small benefit to the local area.
Other counties all gave the opportunity to be the capital to relatives and friends in the county, or gave it to wealthy families as favors, but Yu Shou was very serious and did not show favoritism. He must find a capable person to be the capital.
head.
But there were only five days left to recruit troops, and he still couldn't find a commander who met the standards of the Western Army. He had been extremely anxious for the past two days, but unexpectedly, his luck came today.
Today, Yu Shou happened to see Ruan De. This man could lift 500 kilograms and walk 120 steps. Yu Shou immediately realized that this was the person he was looking for. This was also because Ruan De was lucky.
remaining life.
Ruan De gently placed the stone mill on the millstone. Yu Shou smiled and said, "Please come here, Master Ruan. Let me tell you something."
Yu Shou walked aside with Ruan De and said with a smile: "I'll give you a chance. You don't have to refuse immediately. You can go back and think about it."
Ruan De nodded, "Please tell me, County Lieutenant!"
He already knew that the official in front of him was a county captain, and of course he didn't want to offend him casually.
"The Western Army is recruiting troops. Our county has recruited two hundred soldiers, but I lack a captain to lead them. I need someone with real skills. I think you are quite suitable and want you to be the captain."
Ruan De did not say anything. His two sons were still young and did not want to leave home.
Yu Shou continued: "The only disadvantage is that you may die in battle, but there are many advantages. Once a Western Army soldier joins the army, he will first be given ten guan of settlement allowance, and ordinary soldiers will be given thirty acres of Yongye land, and then two yuan per month.
For one mu of land plus one mu of land as military salary, one year of joining the army would give you twelve mu of land.
But this is just an ordinary soldier. If you are the head of the capital, your settlement allowance is 30 guans, Yongye land is 100 acres, and your monthly salary is 5 guans plus three acres of land. The county can also provide your family with a house in the county.
The yard is about one acre, and if you want a house in the countryside, you can get two acres of land. And it doesn’t mean that you can’t go home if you join the army. The Western Army stipulates that all soldiers have one month of family leave per year.”
The conditions of the Western Army were indeed very favorable. Ruan De couldn't help but feel a little excited. Yu Shou smiled and said: "Think about it! Wages in Yuchi County are not high. A brewer can only earn fifty coins a day. You can earn five guans a month."
The military salary is enough for my wife and children to live a good life."
Ruan De nodded, "I want to go back and discuss it with my wife."
"Go ahead! If you decide, come to the county office to see me tomorrow morning."
........
Ruan De's wife, Wang, heard that her husband wanted to join the army and remained silent for a long time.
Ruan De held his wife in his arms and whispered: "You know that my father was a bandit in Liangshanshuibo when he was young. He had martial arts skills but had no chance to serve the country. He was unknown all his life. This is my chance. The Western Army is
I rely on my ability to get ahead, not on nepotism, nor on flattery. I just want to work hard to achieve fame and earn a family fortune for my son and descendants. This was also my father's last wish before his death."
Mrs. Wang hugged her husband and burst into tears, "What will happen to our mother and son when you leave?"
"Don't worry! I have one hundred guans for settling in, and then five guans for military salary every month, which will be given directly to you. The county will also give me a yard, not for rent, but directly for you, mother and son.
I will have a place to live, and I still have a hundred acres of farmland. If you bring your parents over to live with you, your father-in-law can still farm. If you give the land to him for farming, the family will be taken care of."
"I'm not afraid of suffering, but I'm afraid of you going to war. What if there are three advantages and two disadvantages?"
Ruan De shook his head, "In this world, it is not that you will be safe if you don't go to the battlefield. The Jin soldiers came to kill, and a whole family was destroyed. Have you forgotten how my fifth uncle and his family died? The flood came, and there were no corpses in the whole family. I will go
I joined the army to protect you, mother and son, and besides, I can come back to visit my relatives for a month every year, so it’s not like I’ll never come back.”
Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and said, "Husband, go ahead! I will take good care of the two children."
"Let Da Lang go to school, do you understand? I have a hundred gu of housing allowance, which is enough for him to study in the county school."
"I will let my children study. If the house is rich, I would like my brother and his family to live together, so that it will be more convenient to take care of them."
"I know, you have thought more carefully than me."
Ruan De held his wife's face and said with a smile: "Let the two children go to bed early tonight."
