Chapter Thirty-One
Sun Yu first told about his upcoming appointment in Jianzhou. The most important thing at the moment is the recruitment of troops. In Sun Yu's opinion, it is better to be short-lived than to waste, especially not to let those second-rate people sneak in, as a mouse droppings can ruin a pot of porridge. Sun Yu
I directly told the conditions to the two of them and determined the conditions for recruitment. First, they must be literate no less than 100 and be able to write their own names. Secondly, they must be from a good family, not an only child. Then, they must be no less than five feet four (almost 165).
Be 16-25 years old and be able to shoot a standard military bow. Being able to shoot a bow does not mean that you can become a qualified archer. A qualified archer must shoot a bow stably for at least thirty times in a row. Bow shooting is a whole-body exercise. Being able to shoot a bow is at least
He is also considered to be physically strong.
"Master, this condition may be a bit difficult." Zhang Daqiu looked embarrassed. This requirement is too strict, especially the literacy item. It is difficult to delete more than half of it. This is also the case here in Jiangning Mansion.
, the writing style is quite prosperous, and the literacy rate is very high.
"It's better to be in short supply than in vain. We want to do big things. We have 15 taels of silver to settle down. One tael and two cents a month, enough food to eat, and meat every day. We will get rewards if we win, and we will get pensions for those who die in battle and get injured." This is how Sun Yu started his career.
How can we be careless about our team? If we can't recruit anyone, as long as we have enough money, we can recruit people, not to mention 3,000, but 30,000.
"Sir, if it's done, I, Old Cheng, will go and recruit troops right now. The treatment is better than that of the Forbidden Army. I, Old Cheng, can't believe that no one is coming." Cheng Zhenbei has been in the army, and he knows the treatment inside.
Quite frankly, if you weren't afraid of offending the senior officials of the Forbidden Army and posted these conditions directly outside the Forbidden Army camp, it would take at most half a day to recruit them.
"Well, Lao Cheng is responsible for Fucheng and its surrounding areas. Daqiu, you go to the surrounding counties, and you two will fill half of them as soon as possible." Since Lao Cheng said there is no problem, then there is no problem.
"Sir, what should we do with the Qing Gang?" Cheng Zhenbei knew that he would definitely go to Jianzhou with the army. Since the Qing Gang was Sun Yu's property, he naturally had to listen to his wishes.
"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Although the Qing Gang does not make much money, it is a good industry after all, and it can also serve as his own eyes and ears, so he cannot give up easily.
"There is a brother I can trust, but he is too upright." This gang must be left in the hands of the most trusted person, but Lao Cheng is afraid that he can't handle it well.
"Didn't the Evil Wolf Gang have a military advisor before? What's his name? There's no big evil. Where are the others? If he's in Jiangning Mansion Prison, I'll get him out." Sun Yu also made a detailed investigation of the Evil Wolf Gang.
Yes, that military advisor has a few brushes. Now that the Wolf Gang has fallen, he might as well use them for his own use.
"He is slippery and has never been caught." Lao Cheng nodded. The Qing Gang suffered losses in the hands of this grandson before, but since the young master wants to use him, let him do so little things.
"Dig three feet into the ground to find him." He was just a scholar. He didn't have the strength to restrain a chicken. He was just looking for a place to hide. As long as he put in a little effort, he wouldn't be able to hide him.
"Daqiu, we will select one hundred of the most elite people from the guards in the village to form a law enforcement team, and you will be the captain." If you want to build a strong army, you must have a law enforcement team. Even if the two armies go to war, there must be a group of law enforcement officers behind them.
Team. This big Qiu is trustworthy enough, so I will leave this piece to him.
Both of them received their respective tasks and left separately.
Early the next morning, Sun Yu and his people rushed to the Ministry of Personnel to receive the official seal, and then went to the Ministry of War to receive a supply of military supplies and 50,000 silver taels. Perhaps the King of Han had greeted him in advance, but everything went smoothly. The Ministry of War also arranged for carriages to deliver the supplies.
They were all sent to the warehouse in Donglinzhuang outside the city.
"I'll go." Sun Yu picked up the sword and gun and took a look. They were stained with rust and had cracks. The bow and arrows had broken strings, not to mention the armor, which was in tatters. However, the tents and bedding were pretty good, and there were no ready-made military uniforms.
To convert it into cloth, you have to find someone to make it yourself.
"It won't work. We have to find a staff member." If this continues, I can't expect to train troops to fight.
Working hard on paperwork can tire him out. Sun Yu is too lazy to continue doing it. After counting the supplies, he goes back and invites Uncle Quan to do this first.
"Uncle Quan, you have to go to Donglinzhuang..." Sun Yu handed over all the logistics tasks to Uncle Quan. The weapons and armor must be repaired and ready. The military uniforms are divided into three sizes: large, medium and small, just as before.
In order to make the model for the young man, a place large enough to accommodate three thousand people to camp had to be leveled. The new army had to be trained before they could go on the road, otherwise there would be chaos on the road.
"Uncle Quan, I'd like to find a staff member. It's best if he has a good reputation and comes from a poor family. Is there any suitable candidate?" In fact, Sun Yu could ask the Ministry of Personnel to appoint a few subordinate officials, but he doesn't want others to get involved.
Within his own sphere of influence, who knew who was standing behind those people? King Han's words made him wake up a lot.
"It's true. During the scientific examination the year before last, there was a young man named Xu Yi. He had a great future, but for some reason, his leg was broken by Prince Jiang. The matter ended up being ignored, and now that man is in the south of the city.
Writing letters for people on the street." This incident was very popular at that time, and everyone thought that the court would give an explanation. Later, when the war broke out, this incident was forgotten. Now only those who see him will sigh.
Ichiban.
He was actually a down-and-out prospect, and Sun Yu was quite interested. Besides, this kid was quite talented. His legs were broken by Crown Prince Jiang, but he still stayed in Jiangning. Sun Yu decided to go and see him. If he was really talented, Crown Prince Jiang would be the one.
Shit, I've offended him to the end anyway. If I have too many debts, I won't worry about it. If I have too many lice, I won't bite him. Besides, we are now a fourth-grade official and are about to leave Jiangning. No matter how much courage I give him, he will not dare to come to Jianzhou to seek bad luck for himself. As for the family and property.
, with King Han taking care of him, it would be better than staying in Jiangning by himself.
"Three knives, go out for a walk." Sun Yu has developed the habit of carrying three knives with him when going out. It is said that this kid is smart and saves himself a lot of trouble.
"Hey, sir, do you want to prepare a carriage?" Sun Sandao ran over and asked.
"No, just walk." He planned to test it out. There was no need to dress up and get angry, it was better to keep a low profile like this.
Sun Yu held a folding fan and dressed up as a scholar, and Sun Sandao didn't bring any weapons, just like an ordinary person's entourage, and the two of them walked to the market in a swagger.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A carriage was out of control. The driver stood in front and shouted, causing pedestrians on the road to hurriedly avoid it. San Dao quickly pulled Sun Yu aside and stood in front. The driver tried to control the horse, but was thrown away.
After getting off the car, the horse went even crazier and ran wildly, and the cries of the female family members came from inside the car.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Sun Yu ran a few steps, leaped, and rode on the horse. The horse became even more angry and kept jumping, trying to throw Sun Yu off the horse.
"I could tame Li Huo back then, let alone you?" No matter how the horse jumped, Sun Yu would stick firmly to the horse's back, holding half a stick of incense at most. This horse should have calmed down.
Sun Yu didn't care, but as the horses kept jumping, the people in the carriage couldn't bear it. They were tossed around in the carriage and screamed louder.
"Boom, boom" Sun Yu didn't want to waste time and punched the horse's ears directly with two punches.
The horse was stunned, but after it recovered, it realized that the man on its back could not be offended, so it finally calmed down and stopped jumping.
"Okay, it's okay." Sun Yu turned over and dismounted. The horse must have been stimulated in some way. Now that it has settled down, there will be no problem.
"I thank you for saving your life." Sun Yu originally handed the reins to the driver and was about to leave, but turned around after hearing this.
"So big and so white." A thought came to Sun Yu's mind. The woman opposite was wearing a light yellow dress and a pink tube top that was tightly wrapped, but the only glimpse of scenery above her still made Sun Yu dizzy.
.
"Master, what's wrong?" Seeing that Sun Yu was a little dazed, could it be that he was injured just now? The woman asked tentatively.
He said, although he was too frightened to death, he still could not lose his courtesy towards the savior in front of him. He hurriedly arranged his messy clothes and hurriedly got out of the car.
"Oh, no, I was just a little distracted." Sun Yu replied with some embarrassment. He could have just got off the slope, but he didn't want to admit that he couldn't do it. He was just a frightened horse.
"I don't know where the young master lives, but I will go to the house in person tomorrow to express my gratitude." This kind of life-saving grace cannot be just thanked casually. You should bring gifts to the door to express your gratitude.
"It's just a casual job, you don't deserve to be treated like this, Madam." Sun Yu returned the gift and walked away with three knives. Although he was quite surprised when they first saw him, he could tell by his age and dress that he was a married woman. As a married woman, it was better not to
Well done, you've only had a bad reputation a few days ago, so don't make another "wife and grandchild" joke again.
"Madam, let's get in the carriage." The little maid in the carriage finally stabilized herself, got off the carriage and said to the woman in the yellow dress.
"Well, if we are destined, we can meet again after all." The woman thought about it for a while, but after all, she had no clues about the other party's identity, so she had to give up.
"Sir, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" This is a story about a hero saving the good, and it is not about facing a wolf, tiger, or leopard. This kind of plot is only spoken by storytellers. Isn't what should happen next? Sun
Sandao was a little confused and couldn't understand what the young master was doing.
"The business hasn't been done yet, what are you thinking about?" Sun Sandao was slapped on the top of his head. Not only did Sun Sandao not hide, he also adjusted his posture to receive the blow.
Sun Sandao was very happy after being beaten. Except for those little brats, he was the only one in the whole family who had been beaten by the young master. What does this mean? Hehe! It means that we are different from others in the young master's heart. Sun Sandao
But I know that the young master will soon go to Jianzhou to serve as an official. If he can go with him, it will be a rising tide for all boats.
"Young master, we're here. The person you're looking for is right there." Sun Sandao was now quite familiar with Jiangning Mansion. After a brief inquiry, he found Xu Yi's whereabouts.
Dressed in clean, starched clothes, with a neatly trimmed beard. Although Xu Yi was down and out, he was not slovenly at all. He seemed not to have been shaken by falling from the clouds, but rather like a piece of jade, quietly waiting to be discovered.
Maybe it's because of the exposure to wind and sun that he's young, so he has some vicissitudes of life, unlike those fair-skinned officials.
"Brother, are you Xu Yi?" Sun Yu sat down on the bench in front of the case and asked, waving his folding fan.
"This is Xu Yi. Young master, you want a portrait?" Xu Yi took a look at Sun Yu's dress and saw that it was definitely not a letter, but a portrait. As a prodigy, Xu Yi not only excelled in calligraphy, but he was also good at painting.
"That's not true. I came here this time to see if Xiong has real talent and learning." They are all smart people, there is no need to hide things, Sun Yu went straight to the point.
"Excuse me for being rude. If you want to invite me to be your teacher, please come back." Over the years, there have been numerous wealthy families who wanted to invite me to teach their children, but Xu Yi refused them all. He stayed here.
Of course there are reasons.
"I would like to ask my brother to be my staff and help me."
"Young Master is from the royal family?" He hired a staff at a young age, and he didn't have to worry about Prince Jiang, so he must be of noble birth.
"That's not true. Let's not talk about it for now. How do you view the general trend of the world?" If he has no real talent and practical knowledge and only knows some classics, Sun Yu does not want to reveal his identity.
"Young master, you don't care about that prince?" Xu Yi was quite surprised.
"As long as you are valuable, Prince Jiang, don't worry." I also have to give others reassurance, otherwise, no one will give away all my knowledge for no reason.
