The concept of sustainable development is definitely incomprehensible to them, but the more soldiers and horses, the more territory they can fight, the more territory they can play, the more soldiers they can recruit, and when the time comes, they don't need to worry about the silver they have robbed and asked the Qing army to rob it again, and they still understand this kind of superficial truth.
In the end, under the re-approval of Boss Hu, everyone unanimously agreed to take out half of the silver to recruit troops and buy horses, and the rest was temporarily kept by Song Xianggong and distributed until the situation settled down.
Zhou Shixiang was naturally satisfied with this result, he could not instill any national righteousness in these basically illiterate bandits, and called on them to throw away their heads, spill their blood, and devote themselves to the vigorous struggle for national salvation, only by evolving the anti-Qing Dynasty into a simple way to get rich and not to get rich, how to get rich, and how to get rich while not being remembered by others, such as robbing money, grabbing food, robbing women, and other bandits love to listen to easy-to-understand words, they can willingly devote themselves to it, otherwise, most of them will backfire.
Zhou Shixiang wanted to be personally responsible for the recruitment of soldiers, but thinking that the food had not yet been settled, he first asked Zhao Sihai and Peng Dazhu to be responsible, and asked them to recruit more young people who were affected by the disaster at home, and put the silver on the table.
What are the benefits of recruiting a good family to be a soldier, Zhao Sihai and Peng Dazhu naturally know that when they were in the Ming Army, they had seen the difference between a good family and a soldier.
In war, it is still a good family, especially the countrymen are the most practical and obedient, but the gang in the market is really unreliable, and they often run away as soon as the cannon sounds, and they can't catch up.
After a battle, the one who died the most was the son of a good family, for no other reason, but in reality.
Ge Wu was arguing to recruit troops, but Zhou Shixiang was afraid that his two brothers would be full of flesh and would frighten those people with a gangster, which would have the opposite effect, so he resolutely disagreed, and asked him to follow him to do another thing.
In order to make the recruitment look more formal and the people were convinced, Zhou Shixiang asked someone to bring a few military uniforms that were washed and sewn by those women in the afternoon for Zhao Sihai and them to wear, so that it really looked like the Ming army.
In the name of Song Xianggong, Zhou Shixiang instructed the officials to invite all the gentry and big families in the city to the yamen, and prepared to talk to them about donating money and grain.
Boss Hu couldn't intervene in such matters, and he was not interested in paying attention to them, so he let Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong do it as before, and he took the remaining few people to continue to guard those Qing prisoners.
In every big family, there must be a gentry, and the so-called gentry are people who have meritorious fame.
Regardless of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the scholars who have meritorious fame are given preferential treatment, exempt from taxes, and the people have the practice of donating a large amount of land to avoid taxes, so once they get fame, the poor also become rich, and after a long time, they will naturally become large families.
In the same way, if there is no one among the children of a large family to gain fame, after a long time, most of them will decline, so the people who can become a large family are particularly attentive to their children's study.
Although Luoding Prefecture is the Zhili Prefecture of Guangdong, it can be located in the west of Guangdong, bordering Guangxi, and the humanities style is not as good as Guangzhou and other places in the east of Guangdong, so there are fewer famous scholars in the state, and there are even fewer large families in the surviving households.
After a few years of war, there are now only six large families in the city.
Among these six families, there are three who have meritorious names and achievements, namely the Qi Yuantai Qi family, who was the director of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry in the Ming Dynasty, the Wu Qingde Wu family, who was a short-lived pedestrian in the Hongguang Dynasty, and the Zhang family of Zhang Changquan, who was the general judge of Huai'an Prefecture.
These three people are all Cantonese, but without exception, they are all in other provinces, and the reason why this is so is only because the Ming Dynasty stipulated that people from this province are not allowed to serve as officials in this province.
The situation of the other three large households is different from these three, not because of fame, one of them is the Lin family, who runs a Datong rice shop and has been doing grain trading for nearly 30 years, and the proprietor is the Lin shopkeeper who volunteered to offer grain to settle the victims last night, his full name is Lin Wanfu, which sounds very festive.
The other is the Yang family, who is in the fabric business, and the family wealth is not as good as the Lin family, but his family has a large population, with nearly 100 people, old and young, and is well-deserved to be the largest household in Luoding.
The remaining Zhao family is the ancestor who had six servants, although the family road was defeated, but the ancestors of the waiter Lang bought a large number of land in his hometown when he was there, and as a result, the Zhao family became the largest landlord in Luoding, and almost half of the fertile land outside the city was his family.
In addition to these people, Luo Ding's biggest official in the past ten years is a Wang Long, who was once a Tongzhi of Linchang Prefecture, Shandong, after the Jiashen Change, he was unwilling to remove the hair and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and after the Qing army broke through the state city, his family burned to death, which can be called a loyal martyr.
Another Guo Xueqing, who was the magistrate of Ji'an, Jiangxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, had no backbone to descend to the Qing Dynasty, and now he has been promoted to the prefect of Jiujiang, and most of his family members in Luoding have also gone with him.
In addition, there are several talents in the city, including Lu Changchang and others, who are working in the state government, with a total of seven people.
It was already dark when they came, but Song Xianggong still summoned them in the main hall of the Yamen.
Because Zhou Shixiang told Lu Changchang to make it clear in advance, if people don't come together, he is the only one who asks, so the six furniture are complete, and no one misses.
When everyone entered the lobby, they saw that in addition to "Lord Song" and General Zhou, who looked a little confucian, there were two fierce-looking black men standing by the side of the hall.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Ge Wu immediately glared at him, and suddenly frightened Lin Wanfu, who was the least daring, and didn't dare to take another look.
"I've seen Lord Song, General Zhou" Everyone stepped forward to make a series for Song Xianggong, and then saluted Zhou Shixiang, and then stood there waiting for Song Xianggong to speak.
Song Xianggong took out the style of being the magistrate of Yancheng County in the Manchu Dynasty, waved his hand lazily, and then motioned for everyone to sit on the stool that had already been prepared, and then glanced around at everyone, and said: "Now that Luo Ding has been recovered by my Ming army, you will be the people of the Ming Dynasty from now on, and the braid on this head will be cut back." ” Before Qi Yuantai and Wu Qingde could speak, Lin Wanfu had already shouted first: "Xiaomin has wanted to cut this braid for a long time, don't worry, when Xiaomin returns home, he will definitely cut this braid."
Lin Wanfu was full of sneers when he said this, Qi Yuantai and they all despised it in their hearts, but they all said that they would obey the orders of adults.
"This official is not talented, he was appointed by the imperial court as the post of Luo Ding Zhizhou, as the parents of this place, after the official took office, he should protect the territory and the people, but there is a matter in front of him but he urgently needs your help, but I don't know if you can solve the worries of this official" oshow7 t1706231537:
