Three Kingdoms: Starting from the best little county magistrate

Chapter 6

After introducing himself, Yat gets straight to the point.

Knowing history, he knew that the Yellow Turban Riots would break out next. When the time comes, Cheng Yuanzhi, the commander of the northern canal, will attack Youzhou with an army of 50,000. Zhuo County is the place where he must pass.

At that time, with the urine of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhuo County will definitely usher in a disaster.

There is not much time left for Xiao Yi, he must quickly make himself stronger.

Therefore, mastering the army is extremely critical.

"County Lieutenant Zhao, how many soldiers and horses do we have now?"

Although he has top strategists like Liu Bowen, super fierce generals like Li Cunxiao and Gao Changgong, and Yue Fei, the commander of the army.

But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there can be no generals without soldiers in a war.

"Back to the county order, there are 300 infantry and 100 archers in this county. armaments, less than a thousand. "

Zhao Jie is much more honest now, and he answers whatever he asks.

"So little?".

Xiao Yi frowned, with only this little strength, it was very difficult to resist the Yellow Turban army.

Must be conscripted!

"You must immediately set up a list to recruit troops, and you must make sure that you enter the townships and towns and recruit young and strong men to enlist in the army! You must recruit 3,000 men and horses within a month!"

Xiao Yat doesn't know much about fighting, but in this era of cold weapons, quantity is the key to victory.

Therefore, the

more soldiers you recruit, the better.

"Three...... Three thousand!".

Zhao Jie was taken aback by this number, "Xiao County Order, there are only more than 14,000 people in Zhuo County, and it is almost impossible to recruit 3,000 people." "

After all, spring ploughing is imminent, and the common people need labor to farm the land.

Therefore, there are fewer people who are willing to join the army.

Zhao Jie thinks that it would be good to be able to recruit 500 people.

"Moreover, Zhuo County is not a border county, and there is no war, recruiting so many soldiers and horses violates the imperial court system, if the above is investigated, this crime is not small. "

During the peace period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were indeed such regulations, and the military strength of each county was regulated.

It was only after the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, and Liu Yan suggested that the emperor change the assassination history to a state pastor, that local forces developed, causing the princes in various places to support their own troops.

But now, Xiao Yi recruited troops to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves.

"You don't have to worry about this, any accountability for the official is to bear it, you just have to do what the official

tells you!."

If the population of the county is insufficient, they will go to the county to recruit or attract displaced people. "

Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were no less than a dozen uprisings of all sizes in various parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In addition, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, bandits and bandits are rampant, and the common people in many places have no way to live. Therefore, homeless people are not uncommon in this era.

"All those who are conscripted into the army can participate in the military quality assessment, and after passing the examination, they can hold the position of the highest centurion. And, all sergeants, double the salary!".

In order to attract everyone to join the army, Xiao Yat increased his salary.

The mere doubling of military salaries is enough to impress people's hearts.

And the stipulation on the assessment of military quality is even more exciting.

Because, according to the previous system, recruits were not allowed to hold any positions. Only veterans who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield are eligible for promotion.

It can be said that Xiao Yat did this, which is absolutely unprecedented.

"Xiao County Order, although you can attract many people to join the army by doing this, but now that midwinter has just passed and spring ploughing is imminent, our military food reserves are insufficient, and we can't feed so many soldiers.

If there are so many more people all of a sudden, and the military salary is doubled, our county's economic capacity simply cannot afford it. There isn't enough ordnance either.

In addition, if the veterans know that the new recruits can also become military officers, it will definitely cause them to be dissatisfied. "

In fact, he himself has some dissatisfaction in his heart.

He, a county lieutenant, has accumulated little by little with meritorious deeds. I think that at the beginning, it took him four years to go from an ordinary soldier to a hundred-man man.

It's just that his dissatisfaction didn't dare to show in front of Xiao Yi.

"You don't have to worry about that, just do what I say. "

The system rewarded 100,000 stone of grain, and 10 billion baht of copper coins, such a huge material, Xiao Yi wanted to build how to build.

"Yes. "

Seeing Xiao Yi's resolute attitude, Zhao Jie didn't dare to say anything more.

"In addition, the amount of money you are waiting for will also be increased by two to five times on the original basis. "

"Ahh

"Two to five times!".

All the officials were dumbfounded and looked at Xiao Yi in shock.

The

doubling of the soldier's salary is already a significant amount. They were still worried that the prefectural order would reduce their salaries.

But as a result, they increased even more!
