Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

According to regulations, a county can only have five captains, and Bian County is not subject to this rule.

"If I'm not mistaken, the treasury probably doesn't have much money and food." Xu Ding looked at Mao Jie, since Yuan Yi brought him to Donglai County, he would definitely start with the most basic and most important money and food.

Sure enough, Mao Jie nodded and replied: "My lord's guess is correct. Just before we arrived, the former prefect has allocated all the money and food that will be handed over to the court this year, and just a few days ago, he spent a lot of money on road construction. , used up the last bit of food and money, and now the treasury has barely enough money and food to last for ten days, and ten days later will be the day when the salary will be issued."

Enough is enough, all the money and food have been used up, and ten days later, the officials of the whole county will just pay their salaries.

"Okay! Very good!" Xu Ding gritted his teeth and said, then took a deep breath, then calmed down and said:

"Feng Xiao, where are you?"

Guo Jia replied: "It took a few days for the Lord to post the announcement, and the counties and cities below have also notified it. Presumably, the whole Donglai will know that the Fujun is coming soon, and some money and food should be raised by then."

The recruiting that Guo Jia mentioned is naturally when recruiting powerful families for a feast, let everyone express that this is an unspoken rule, which has existed since ancient times.

"Well! I hope so." Xu Ding was not optimistic about these powerful landlords from aristocratic families, and he didn't expect to rely on them, otherwise it would form constraints in the future.

"Should the lord's recruitment of soldiers be postponed?" Mao Jie asked.

Now there is no money and food in hand, not to mention recruiting troops to make up the number, even salary expenses are not enough.

"Postponed? Why should it be postponed? Tomorrow I will recruit soldiers and recruit generals. At least I will get enough captains of the three armies first. Without soldiers, there is no power. How can we manage the entire county? How can we suppress those who eat people and don't spit out their bones guy." Xu Ding shook his head, rejecting Mao Jie's proposal, as long as people from Xu's village came over, he would naturally have money and food.

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, what should we do with the former soldiers?"

Xi Zhicai refers to the soldiers and horses in charge of the former prefect. The captain and other generals were appointed by the previous prefect. As long as they are not dispatched by the imperial court, they can be kicked out directly, and they have no complaints.

After all, is the emperor a courtier?

However, the recruited soldiers below can mutiny and cause trouble if they are not properly arranged. If they want to dismiss them, they must be given some severance pay.

If you don't dismiss them, you have to support them. The problem is that there is no money and food in the county, and there is bound to be a mutiny, which is also extremely difficult.

Chapter 29 The Tournament Begins

"These people? Let's raise them first. Anyway, the food for ten days is not bad. All of them will be filled into the captain of the second army, so that Wen Ze can sharpen them." Mentioning these soldiers who were left behind by the former prefect to drag down the finances, Xu Ding He will not be polite, and will hand everything over to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin's military training is the most stringent, so let them look good then.

The next day, the county government was in Zhang Yibang to recruit generals, and anyone who could beat Li Dian, the deputy captain, could be appointed captain.

For a while, the whole Donglai was lively.

The public recruiting generals came up to be the captain who held the power, and many people were envious.

This was a good opportunity to stand out, and the recruiters flocked to the registration points located in the school grounds in the city.

"Excuse me? Can I really become a captain if I sign up?"

"Yes! Yes, can you really be a captain? It's not a lie!"

There were a bunch of people crowded in front of the registration table, and there was a large group behind them.

"Silence! Damn, please be quiet for me. If there is any noise, pull out a heavy army stick, and if there is trouble, cut it off!" shouted Tibetan Ba, who was dragged by the loser to be the supervisor.

In an instant, the din of people's voices disappeared.

Zang Ba pointed to the notice pasted on the wooden board next to him and said: "Those who have qualified for the recruitment will receive three days of training, and the top ten can challenge Li Dian, the deputy captain. It’s the captain of our army, do you hear me clearly, not everyone can be a captain, and it’s not just enough to sign up, only those who are capable can do it, and those who are incapable and weak, get out of here!”

Everyone laughed loudly, that's how it was.

They all nodded in agreement. Those who can be captains must have skills, and those who don't have skills will obey others.

As long as you can beat the deputy captain, you can become the captain. It seems that the new prefect is very fair, and he is not a relative.

In an instant, one by one expressed their willingness to sign up.

Li Dian stood there, and many people looked at him, weighing whether they would be his opponent. Those who felt good about themselves were naturally full of confidence, and threatened to make this captain.

Someone from the back of the crowd bumped a young man's shoulder and said, "Ziyi, you have to be the Captain, and it will be up to you in three days."

The young man named Ziyi looked at him and said: "That person should not be underestimated. Since the new prefect has the courage to compete openly, it must not be so simple. You may not have noticed that the aura of the supervisor may be greater than that of the deputy captain." above."

"What? Ziyi is joking, that deputy captain is not the strongest, but the guy who spoke harshly just now is even stronger." The person next to him said in surprise.

"Well, it's more or less the same, it's not an ordinary person." The boy named Ziyi nodded, but his hands were clenched into fists, and he also had a strong fighting spirit.

"Are you still signing up, Ziyi?"

"Report? Why not? He is strong, but I am confident that I can beat them both!"

In a certain house in the city, the former prefect Shi Gan was chatting with some important figures in Huang County.

Soon someone came in and reported: "Lord Bingfu, Xu Ding has recruited troops. There are so many applicants that he can't see the end at a glance. He really took the post of captain to attract people to join the army."

"This Xu Ding really dares to recruit soldiers. Does he still have money and food?" One of them said and looked at Shi Gan.

Shi Gan sneered and said: "Impossible. I know the situation of the treasury best. Before he arrived, I paid all the taxes in Xia and Autumn. I used the rest to build roads and yards. He has just arrived in office, so where is the money and food?"

"It's still the Fujun's wise man, it's hard to move forward like this. I really don't understand why he dares to recruit soldiers. Is it because he wants to embolden himself?"

"Haha, maybe it's true. Didn't you see that he brought 500 people here before he took office? It's ridiculous to dare to come to Donglai with such courage?"

"But that's fine, let him recruit. The more he recruits, the faster he will spend money and food. In this way, he will go crazy for money and food in less than ten days. Come and beg me to wait, and then there will be a show." gone."

Seeing the patriarchs of Donglai's families talking loudly, Shi Gan secretly sneered and said, "Xu Ding, Xu Ding, it's not good for you to take away someone's prefect. If you dare to take mine, and offend the Taiwei, I want to make you look good." Come to Donglai, and leave in embarrassment."

Into the prefect's mansion at night!

"My lord, we have recruited 800 people today. It seems that there are still quite a few soldiers in Donglai. We recruited half of the captains in one day. These people look quite strong." Although Li Dian was only a deputy captain, But still happy, after all, these people are also his subordinates.

The source of soldiers is good, which is a good thing for forming an army in the future.

Xu Ding nodded, and then said: "Circle the people on the list with the same surname, and show me tomorrow."

Li Dian was taken aback for a moment, wondering what Xu Ding was going to do, to circle back his surname?

However, I was ordered to go back and look through the list, only to find that among the 800 people there were indeed several people with double surnames.

The next day Li Dian came over with the list, Xu Ding nodded with satisfaction after reading it,

Li Dian couldn't help asking: "My lord, what are these people capable of? My lord seems to care about them very much?"

Xu Ding pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know this when the time comes, just to remind you, during these three days of training, pay more attention to the one with the best performance."

Xu Ding didn't explain deeply, but Li Dian went to train the newly recruited people with doubts to see what's special about these guys.
