My uncle and Conch came to the camp together. When they saw Chu Qing, the guy was leaning on the tent to learn how to kill the dog. He was panting, covered in sweat, and his pants were wet.
Chu Qing could finally hold on for five seconds. He held the Mo Dao with both hands in a very standard posture for five seconds.
If the posture standard is not required, he can hold on for ten seconds.
Tian Hailong was very puzzled: "Mr. Chu, what's wrong with you? Your trousers are soaked with sweat?"
"Pants wet with sweat, the first step of a famous general."
Tao Shaozhang looked at Mo Dao on the ground, dumbfounded: "You are not a military commander, why are you practicing Mo Dao?"
Chu Qing patted his trouser legs and stood up: "In order to have a good body, the main thing is to train your waist and strengthen your waist."
"What does waist training mean?"
Chu Qing glanced at Tao Shaozhang, laughed, and walked into the tent without explaining.
Everyone sat down, Chu Qing took the lead and looked at Tian Hailong: "Aluo, I want to recruit troops from the three East China Sea routes. You should be responsible for this."
"Recruiting troops?"
"Pick some people to expand the wolf-catching army, and pick the rest to join the six major camps."
Tian Hailong smiled bitterly: "Sir, the three border areas are no better than other places. The border army cannot recruit troops."
"Why?"
Tian Hailong briefly explained the situation, and it was still a matter for Chu Qing's professional counterpart, the Aristocratic Family.
If you want to recruit soldiers, you have to go through the local government, and the local government, even the good and famous families, are almost wearing a pair of yoga pants.
Sons of aristocratic families and merchants will naturally not join the army, while most of the sons of common people at the bottom work for their masters, that is, aristocratic families, or farm.
There are policies and countermeasures. Many people are living in seclusion. As soon as the border army asks the local government to ask for soldiers, the government will send a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to come over. Ten randomly selected people can add up to more than 500 years old. It is not like they want to Joining the army is like letting the frontier soldiers help you with your retirement.
It's not that the government doesn't cooperate with the work, it cooperates, but it's just a complete work, or there are not enough people. If there are enough people, it doesn't meet the standard. If it meets the standard, a few days after sending it, it is said that no one is farming.
After hearing this, Chu Qing was sure that the problem came from the noble family.
The aristocratic family is like this. The leeks are all gone. Who will they cut? How can they let the leeks join the army?
Conch's expression was a bit incomprehensible: "Sir, I know that you have always been vigorous and resolute, especially those from various aristocratic families, and you don't take it seriously. However, recruiting soldiers is not something that happens overnight, but every year. Even if you recruit soldiers this year, When we arrive at the army, next year, the year after..."
Chu Qing frowned and interrupted: "I understand what you mean. I'm afraid that after I leave, I will be like the old bird again. Should the family and the local government cooperate or not cooperate, right?"
Tian Hailong smiled and nodded repeatedly.
That's what he meant. He believed that the aristocratic families would give Chu Qing face, because if they didn't give Chu Qing face, what would be left might be a group of recluses, and what would be lost might be a full family.
But Chu Qing was not always at the border, so Tian Hailong was a little selfish, wondering if Chu Qing could fundamentally solve the problem.
"Sir, it's a blessing for the border army that you come to the border. I don't admire anyone, but I admire you, especially your method of rectifying the family. It can be said that you can do whatever you want without even recognizing the relatives... um... justice, awe-inspiring means, bright methods, you see …”
"No need to say more, I understand." Chu Qing showed a smile, and then waved his hand: "My officer, seize the day and night, who the hell cares about next year and the year after that, your border army affairs, you can handle it yourself. I'll just expand the wolf-catching army."
Tian Hailong was dumbfounded. He thought Chu Qing was going to solve this problem from the root, but in the end... seizing the day?
Chu Qing didn't say much and took a sip of tea. He couldn't explain to Tian Hailong.
The root of the problem is not from the aristocratic family, but from the imperial court. This problem cannot be solved at the border. It is not that only the six battalions of the border army are dissatisfied with their numbers. The various garrison guards and Zhechong Mansion. In addition to the eight battalions, which battalion
They were all dissatisfied. The local government and aristocratic families colluded to cause trouble. Ordinary people were unwilling to let their children join the army. They would rather farm than join the army.
To fundamentally solve the problem, in addition to government decrees, we also need to change people's views on soldiers.
Chu Qing never considered the problems that were out of his reach now, and looked at Tao Shaozhang: "Brother, are you interested in becoming a deputy general?"
Tao Shaozhang's eyes lit up. He wanted to know who didn't dream of joining the army when he was a child. He went into battle to kill the enemy and became famous and his name went down in history.
Without any hesitation, Tao Shaozhang said directly: "No."
"Damn, why don't you ask what this deputy general does?"
"Brother Yu is not interested in anything he does."
Chu Qing was surprised: "You have been idle and had nothing to do. You don't have to be the deputy general of the wolf-catching army. You are in charge of the discipline, rewards and punishments of the new soldiers. The wolf-catching army is so famous, so you can become the deputy general directly. Maybe...
If you are careful, you will die without a burial...No, if you are not careful, you will live forever...Nor..."
Chu Qing looked at Fu San: "How do you say that?"
"Infamy for eternity?"
"Yes!" Chu Qing looked back at Tao Shaozhang: "Maybe your reputation will be immortalized by accident. Don't you want to try?"
Hehehe, Chu Qing smiled evilly and said: "Brother, you don't have confidence, do you?"
"It's a joke. Brother Yu has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, but he also practices boxing in his spare time. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a civilized and martial artist. He became a young minister of Dali Temple and became famous at a young age..."
Tao Shaozhang puffed up his chest and looked proud: "So, Brother Yu is not this material at all!"
Chu Qing: "..."
Tao Shaozhang sighed: "The wolf-catching army is well-known at the border and talks about it on the grassland. Brother Yu is a scholar. If he becomes this deputy general, if he doesn't make trouble, it will delay your brother-in-law's important affairs. It's a must, absolutely must not be done."
Chu Qing smiled and discovered another shining point of his uncle, that is, he has self-knowledge, a rare self-knowledge.
Even though Tao Shaozhang has a lot of free time every day and can't wait to find something to do to show off his remaining darkness, he sticks to his heart in the face of "temptation". He knows how much he weighs and what errands he can't do. He would rather be idle than do anything.
To delay others.
"Don't worry, you don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy. It's similar to your major at Dali Temple. Just clear rewards and punishments. I won't hide it from you. To put it bluntly, it means offending others and offending others by playing bad words."
Tao Shaozhang's head shook like a rattle: "That's even worse. Brother-in-law, you also know that the worst thing Brother Yu can do is to offend others. It would be more like letting Brother Yu make friends."
Chu Qing wanted to give himself a slap in the face, but he didn't have any self-awareness at all.
"Let me tell you this, no one else can do this job except you, how about you help me."
Tao Shaozhang was slightly startled: "No one else but me?"
"yes."
"really?"
"really."
"Hahahaha." Tao Shaozhang smiled proudly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you know what Brother Yu is capable of. It turns out that you also know that Brother Yu is more than a little bit better than Tao Weiran, Nangong Ping, Cuiyu and others.
"
"No, I mean, except you, no one has time."
Tao Shaozhang cupped his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, please do your business first. Brother Yu, take your leave."
"Wait a minute, I'll give you a salary. You're already so old. It's time to marry your mother-in-law, so you should save money to marry your mother-in-law, okay?"
"Salary?" Tao Shaozhang, who was about to turn around, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much?"
"How about fifteen dollars a month."
Tao Shaozhang, who has studied arithmetic for a long time, stretched out a finger: "Add another zero."
"Okay." Chu Qing made the decision directly: "Ten months, fifteen dollars."
"make a deal!"
Fu San looked at Tao Shaozhang, hesitating to speak. He wanted to suggest that Tao Shaozhang go to the medical clinic outside the Xiaoqi Camp. Stop being a lieutenant and seize the time to have his brain examined.
