Chapter 689: The Great War Resumes


recruited displaced people to join the army in Shanxi, and after Yao Tongxin got the news, he was so excited that he was about to cry.

Because now a large number of Liukou from Shaanxi have begun to pour into Shanxi, which has caused great damage to Shanxi and caused another wave of displaced people, if it were not for Lu Huanzhi's continuous assistance to support Hong Chengchou, Shanxi would have been completely eroded.

As long as 50,000 troops are recruited, then there will be a shortage of 50,000 young and strong homeless people in Shanxi.

And these old people and children can only bring tens of thousands of mouths to your rogue army, and they have no combat effectiveness at all, so Yao Tongxin fully cooperated with Lu Hanqiang's recruitment plan.

When Zhao Zi heard that Lu Hanqiang was recruiting troops in Shanxi, he immediately took the responsibility to provide a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, especially now that countless explosives packages have been manufactured, deducting those that were given to Hong Chengchou, he simply let the 50,000 troops directly bring them to Lu Hanqiang, and also strengthen Lu Hanqiang's strength.

At the same time, according to Lu Hanqiang's instructions, Zhao Zi's Pinglu paid the settling-in allowance of the 50,000 army instead of Lu Hanqiang, that is to say, if you add the three months of military salary paid in advance, Zhao Zi will have to pay nearly one million silver for Lu Hanqiang this time, and Zhao Zi is not distressed at all when the million taels of silver are taken out, because the current Pinglu is rich, in Zhao Zi's eyes, this money is not his own, nor is it from Shanxi Province, but Lu Hanqiang's.

As soon as Lu Hanqiang's recruitment order came out, the whole Shanxi shook, and countless young people who lost their livelihoods began to flock to the recruitment office and sign up for the army.

Originally, people expressed absolute resistance to joining the army, as the so-called good men are not good soldiers and iron do not nail, but now it is different, because the entire Shanxi and Shaanxi have been completely eroded, and the people have no way to live, and when Lu Hanqiang's soldiers are more willing, not only Lu Hanqiang's food is good, the treatment is high and the pension is heavy, and at the same time, Lu Hanqiang's prestige of winning a hundred battles is in, second, Lu Hanqiang's settling-in allowance is sufficient, as long as you sign up for the army and walk into a simple barracks, then your family will get a settling-in fee of ten taels of silver, as long as you join the army, After a month of training, you will receive three months of military pay in advance, that is, close to fifteen taels of silver, whether you carry this military salary yourself, or continue to stay at home, that is your business, anyway, you don't need a penny in the barracks.

With silver, you can have the hope of living, and for the sake of the family to survive, it is worth selling your life as a soldier.

And Zhao Zi once again followed Lu Hanqiang's instructions and transferred the 1,000 village warriors he had trained to the person in charge of recruiting soldiers.

When Lu Hanqiang trained these village warriors, they were set up according to junior officers, that is to say, squad leaders, and now as soon as they enter the barracks, they are immediately appointed as squad leaders, and outstanding ones are appointed as squadron leaders.

In this way, with a mature officer corps, the recruited soldiers, were immediately rectified and trained, when the 50,000 army was recruited neatly within a month, this team has begun to take shape, and then the 50,000 army began to march from Shanxi to the northeast, along the way of the logistics work, Lu Hanqiang still used his method of marching, that is, to buy from the merchants, and now the merchants are very shrewd, so the logistics have also been guaranteed, in this way, the 50,000 troops opened out of the customs safely, joined Lu Hanqiang's team, so that Lu Hanqiang's actual strength reached a terrifying 100,000, and he became the first governor of the Ming Dynasty, but of course this is a later story.

The stalls are getting bigger and bigger, but whether it is raising armaments for war, or continuing to settle the people, developing production, or laying the foundation for the future war with Jiannu, everything mentioned above has a premise, that is, money.

The original 3 million Fuliao loans have been spent by Lu Hanqiang, and Huludao Port is still under construction, and a large amount of capital is still needed, and there is no output at all, so Lu Hanqiang commanded Wang Fang Zhao Liang and Huang Weiwei, who were in Beijing, to start issuing the second batch of large loans in western Liaoning, and the mortgage was still the bonus tax of the exchange.

At the same time, Lu Hanqiang personally took charge of the work, wrote a series of articles in the newspapers, announced his war achievements, looked forward to great prospects, and described the wealth of western Liaoning to the people of the whole country, painted a big pie for the creditors, and presented oil, salt, sauce and vinegar by the way.

It is indeed rich here, under the pen of Lu Hanqiang, that Liaoxi is simply a place full of gold, on the mountain, there are thousands of years of forest, there are more ginseng than radishes in the mainland, there are more sika deer with antler velvet than rabbits in the mainland, tigers, leopards, dogs and bears with beautiful fur are more than your domestic cats and pigs, under the mountain, there is fertile endless land, especially the land that has no owner, has not been developed for hundreds of millions of years, and it is even more fertile, and you have oiled the upper of your shoes with one foot, and the fish in the big river are indescribable.

It's really a roe deer scoop, and so on, blah blah, blah blah blah, this is a place of war, this is a paradise of chances full of romantic adventurism.

Therefore, Lu Hanqiang issued a call like the whole country, and the land in western Liaoning was officially contracted to the outside world, and the people of the whole country began to contract, and the contract fee was used to repay the future large loans in western Liaoning.

What is the contracted area, so much that there is no bottom line, and how much is the contract fee, which is simply outrageously low, that is, only 30 catties of grain per mu of land, at the same time, Lu Hanqiang told the people of the whole country that the contract period is 30 years unchanged, that is to say, as long as you contract, then you will immediately become a landlord within 30 years.

Thirty years, that's so exciting.

However, Lu Hanqiang is a kind person and a real person, and in his article, he also admitted that there is indeed danger here, because no matter what, this is the front line of the war, and if Houjin fights again, everyone will lose all their money.

In response to such a problem, the decision of the kind-hearted Lu Han is strong, as long as you come to my Liaoxi to cultivate the land, then, I will let you worry about the future, the so-called worry-free is that I will first take out a loan from you to buy farm tools and seeds and a year's grain, and return these loans at the time of the autumn harvest plus a little insignificant interest, if due to the war, the Manchus recaptured the land here, and you have no harvest, then these loans will be written off, you just need to run away with the covers, that is to say, You come here to farm, if the world is peaceful and you harvest, then congratulations, you have made a fortune, and in case, I am talking about what if, really because of my Lu Hanqiang's incompetence, due to the war caused you to roll up and run away, you have nothing to lose at all, not only did you not lose, you also ate Lu Hanqiang's grain for a year, then congratulations on earning.

There are also employment opportunities, now Liaoxi is being developed, there is a lack of labor everywhere, as long as you come, want to work, well, Liaoxi Mansion is welcome with both hands, no technology is not afraid, we are free training to work, no ability is not afraid, there are many opportunities, there is always something suitable for you.
