Six Hundred and Eighteen: Chenzhou Reported an Emergency, and the Whole World Came to the King’s Aid (2)

The cold winter is harsh, and there is a lot of snow in the northern winter.

With Jiang Pengji's financial and food support, An Xin's efforts to win over the Red Lotus Sect went very smoothly.

An Xin is a smart man. Even if he wants to win over and buy the hearts of the people at the bottom of the Red Lotus Sect, he does not take it lightly. He does not choose very eye-catching characters. He only chooses people who can have an effect, but have a low sense of existence and are relatively reliable. Unknowingly, He has won over hundreds of people.

On the other hand, Jiang Pengji focused her work this winter on three things.

Recruit talents, recruit soldiers, and train soldiers.

The first item was given to Feng Jin and Wei Ci. The former was familiar with the situation in Shangyang County, and the latter was thorough and methodical in his work and had a dark heart.

The two of them cooperated, and Jiang Pengji didn't have to worry about no one taking the bait.

The second item was left to Feng Zhen. Shangyang County had just been taken over by Jiang Pengji. The territory had doubled in size out of thin air. The originally relatively wealthy 20,000 troops were simply not enough, so recruiting troops was imperative. Feng Zhen is so lazy that he can sleep in bed until noon in the middle of winter.

Jiang Pengji couldn't stand it, so she simply gave him heavy work. What if he couldn't finish it or was lazy in the middle?

Haha, he won’t be able to drink a drop of wine throughout next year!

Feng Zhen's already pale face suddenly turned as pale as gold when he heard Jiang Pengji's words.

With such a lord on his side, Feng Zhen wanted to change jobs every minute.

Not letting a prodigal drink?

People do things?

However, his thin arms couldn't twist Jiang Pengji's elephant legs, so Fengzhen could only do it aggrievedly. Within a few days, he had heavy bags under his eyes. He bit Wei Ci in private, "Zixiao, please take care of me." If this situation continues, will the seven days of rest during the Chinese New Year still count?”

Wei Ci calmly comforted him, "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. My lord will not make promises easily. Once he makes a promise, he will definitely keep it."

However, Jiang Pengji is not a "gentleman", she is a "woman".

Wei Ci swallowed these words silently, with a smile still blooming on his face - a man with his own background and BGM.

Fengzhen only joined this group in the middle of the year. He didn't know the practices of previous years, so he reluctantly believed in Wei Ci.

To be honest, recruiting troops is not a chore, but Jiang Pengji pursues the "elite soldier route".

Others recruit soldiers and train them for a month or two, and then they can be on the battlefield in three to five days.

She is different.

Winter training lasts for three months, and summer training lasts for three months. During spring plowing and autumn harvest, we have to work in the fields, and daily military training continues day by day.

According to Fengzhen's understanding, Jiang Pengji has 20,000 elite soldiers, and each soldier must go through at least a rigorous training period before going to the battlefield.

In Jiang Pengji’s words, soldiers who have not been rigorously trained cannot be counted as soldiers. Unqualified soldiers are not suitable for going to the battlefield. They are suitable for going home to their mothers for food and milk. Such soldiers are destined to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. What's the point of filling it with your own life?

Therefore, there is a certain threshold for Jiang Pengji to recruit troops, and not everyone can come in.

As the person in charge of this task, Feng Zhen needs to strictly control the situation and register every recruit who successfully "applies".

A few days later, Feng Zhen felt that his right hand could no longer straighten. His fingers were stiff after holding the pen for too long.

"By the way, you haven't found the right person yet?"

Rao is such a casual prodigal son as Feng Zhen. Faced with a heavy workload, he can't help but run away.

He finally understood why Qi Guanrang, who was in charge of the household registration department, always had a dead look on his face like everyone owed him a million dollars.

Wei Ci and Feng Jin drank tea leisurely.

"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, the net has been cast, Ci has a hunch that the harvest this time will be rich."

Feng Zhen wanted to spit at him, "I really believed in your evil deeds!"

They recruited talents. To put it bluntly, they held various poetry gatherings and invited scholars from Shangyang County to participate. On the surface, they only talked about romance and not political affairs. In fact, they took this opportunity to get to know each scholar. Temperament and ability.

If you think it's good, test the other person's wishes in private.

What makes Feng Zhen jealous the most is,

Jiang Pengji paid for all the expenses, and Feng Jin and Wei Ci enjoyed it at their own expense.

In view of this, Feng Zhen had to wonder whether these two guys were deliberately slacking off in order to extend the enjoyment period?

grass!

How shameless are these two beasts not to take him with them for such a good thing?

If you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it. Why hasn't Fengzhen even seen the talent for half a month?

Without talents, this means that Fengzhen has no helpers in his work.

"If you slack off in your work, be careful and I will report you to my lord."

Feng Jin laughed dumbly. Not only was he out of breath, but he was in a happy mood.

What does this mean?

It shows that Fengzhen has been overwhelmed by the heavy workload and is exhausted from overtime work.

As for the third task, training soldiers, Jiang Pengji simply left it to a few generals.

Likewise, all female soldiers were trained by Jiang Nongqin.

In the previous battles, the female barracks had several outstanding female soldiers. They were all praised and promoted, and now they have begun to serve as instructors to train new female soldiers. It's just that Shangyang County is a special area and is quite biased against female soldiers. There are not many female soldiers recruited, and there are more than a thousand female soldiers in total.

Although thousands of people can be recruited, there are still too many people who can't afford to support "losing money" and send them here with dubious trust.

On the other hand, the recruitment of male soldiers went smoothly, and the total number of soldiers reached 8,000.

"It's true that you are the real one. Your ability is impressive. How long has it been since then and you have actually recruited so many people?" Jiang Pengji was surprised.

Feng Zhen smiled bitterly. He admitted that he was capable, but he didn't dare to take all the credit for this matter.

"My Lord, you are too generous. How can this be considered as true ability? It is obvious that my Lord is too generous and the conditions are too good."

Although Shangyang County was not captured by the Blue Army or the Red Lotus Sect, the siege lasted for a long time, not to mention that there was a severe drought this summer. The harvest was not high for the whole year, and the people lived in poverty. Some families even mixed pig food into their food to barely fill their stomachs.

Why do you say Jiang Pengji is generous?

The recruitment notice she gave was clearly written. Soldiers had three meals a day, two bowls of rice, one vegetarian and one meat, plus a soup.

For fear that the people would not understand, the notice also stated the weight of two bowls of rice and the ingredients of the meat and vegetarian dishes.

A notice has 200 words, 160 words are the recipes, and the other 40 words are the recruitment requirements.

Probably, this is the most bizarre recruitment notice Feng Zhen has ever seen in his life.

Jiang Pengji honestly recruited and trained soldiers, and did not take any actions against the gentry of Shangyang County.

This made the latter suspicious, fearing that she would make a surprise attack.

In the end, Jiang Pengji only changed some unimportant positions, none of which were lucrative, and the people who replaced them were still local poor scholars.

Although there was a little pain, it was still acceptable to the local gentry.

As the end of the year approached, Jiang Pengji was doing the year-end statistics, and the messenger outside reported that the nominal governor of Shangyang County came to visit.

She thought about the date, isn't it time to pay New Year's greetings?

"Please ask him to come in."

Jiang Pengji said.

The governor brought her an opened letter, and when she opened it, the seal read - Received the mandate from heaven, long life and prosperity.

Jade seal?

She was surprised and read the content of the letter at a glance.

"Serve the king?"
