As Yao Guangxiao said, when Li You proposed to ask for money and grain from the local gentry in Yunzhou to recruit group training, the representatives of the gentry headed by Lu Binqian began to cry for poverty. One said that due to the influence of refugees' rebellion, his industry suffered huge losses, and now his family is trying hard to maintain it, and he really doesn't have much money.

In the end, Lu Binqian forced himself to donate hundreds of taels of silver and dozens of stones of grain. The others also paid a pitiful little money and grain according to the strength of himself and the Lu family according to this ratio.

Wei Ziyang, the governor of Yunzhou, also took out some food, weapons and other items from the treasury. Today's harvest was only enough to summon a group training of about 500 people.

"You are worried about national affairs. Li has recorded all the money and grain today. After the thieves are pacified in the future, our delegation will definitely ask for merit from the court." Li You, who didn't want to quell the chaos as soon as possible, was not angry. He still said with a smile, which made these gentry a little confused for a while.

"We have been in Yunzhou for many years, and these are reasonable things; but Lord, when do you plan to lead the army to fight against the bandits?" Lu Binqian asked tentatively.

"No, no hurry. Now our regiment has only two hundred soldiers and horses, and the number of Yunzhou Prefecture's troops is not large. If you go out rashly, it will be difficult to win, and you may lose the city. Therefore, our regiment plans to recruit regiments in Yunzhou, and it will not be too late to fight after the new recruits are trained." Since I don't give money, I can't go out as soon as possible.

"This" Lu Binqian and others were speechless. Yes, they brought such a few people, how could they go to war? If ordinary generals and men could rely on their civil servants to force the other party to fight, Li You had a title and his status in the Great Wei Dynasty was far higher than them. Therefore, there were always many dissatisfactions in his heart, and he could only swallow this breath.

"If you set an example, I believe that the gentry in Yunzhou will definitely donate money and food enthusiastically. With money and food, there will be soldiers. When the army is trained, it will be the day to eliminate the bandits." It is okay to go to war early, so take out the money first. With money, there will naturally be soldiers. The more money you give, the more soldiers you can train, Li You hinted again.

Lu Binqian and others had no idea for a moment, so they could only send a pair of good words and say goodbye. When things got so far, they still couldn't bear to leave the land and food. Perhaps they hadn't realized the seriousness of the refugees' chaos.

Although the money I got is not much, it is enough to spend a while. Li You immediately ordered someone to post a notice to recruit team training in Yunzhou City: Anyone aged between 16 and 30, with a clean and healthy body can go to the Yunzhou schoolyard to register for team training. If you are selected, you will be given three meals a day during the training period and one tael of silver in military pay per month. After the training is completed and passed the assessment, it will increase.

Objectively speaking, the treatment given by Li You is not high, at least the military pay is far worse than that of the imperial guards; but now when refugees gather in Yunzhou City, let alone giving money, countless people are willing to participate in the three meals a day; once the notice is posted, countless people immediately ran to the school grounds outside the city.

No wonder the Song Dynasty had to recruit young and strong people from the victims to join the wing army whenever there were major disasters. This was indeed a good way to reduce social instability factors. Looking at the people who learned to queue under the sticks of the imperial guards, Li You thought to himself that recruiting team training from refugees can not only increase his strength, but also weaken the strength of refugees. Without these strong young and strong people, even if they want to rebel, they will not have the strength.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. It also costs money to support the Xiang army. If it is once or twice, it would be fine. Over time, the salary of these Xiang army alone would be enough to crush the court's finances.

"Bo Fu, take people to take care of these refugees. According to my opinion, there must be spies from the Hunyuan Sect here. I will definitely not let them run away after I find them out later." After Li You gave instructions, Zhou Bofu immediately directed his troops to disperse everywhere and guarded several key areas of the schoolyard.

"General, how do you plan to pick out these people?" Zhou Bofu, who had made these preparations, asked curiously after returning. In his opinion, those who can be spies are all cunning people, so it is so easy to be discovered.

"It's easy to say this, it's not difficult to say it's difficult. You'll know it later when you see it." After that, Li You sat behind the table and notified the soldiers in front that you can now let these refugees come in.

After experiencing tests such as measuring height, holding stone locks, running, etc., the first refugee who passed the screening finally came to Li You. As soon as he saw Li You, he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"What's the name? How old is it?" Li You asked, and there was a bookkeeper next to him spread out paper to prepare the record.

"The grass and grass and poplars have land, this year's eighteenth." The lucky one who was the first to walk to Li You replied tremblingly.

"Where is the home? What kind of business did you do before?" Li You looked at this person. He could squeeze into the first place among hundreds of refugees, at least he had no problem with his physical strength.

"Caomin's home is in Yangjia Village, fifty miles away from the city. She used to farm for a living. A few days ago, King Song fought with me and I fled to the city." After saying that, Yang Youdi was afraid that Li You would not accept him, so he hurriedly begged, "Sir, as long as you accept Caomin, Caomin would rather not have military pay. As long as he can give me some food, he will support me and my mother."

"Well, I'm pretty strong. I'll take it. Let's go and drink porridge first and wait." When he answered the question, Li You noticed the changes in his eyes and expressions. Although he was a little panicked, his eyes and expressions were still normal. He didn't look like a spy. What's more, this person also stated that he was taking his mother with him. After investigation, he found out that he was not afraid of him lying, so he took him down. "Military pay is also indispensable. You have this little money to support your mother."

The first few refugees who registered seemed normal. Li You asked about their situation and carefully screened them according to the military election methods learned by Qi Jiguang. They were either admitted or eliminated. There was no accident until the refugee who claimed to be a farmer arrived in front of him.

The calluses on the hands were not like they were grinding with a hoe. Li You glanced at his right hand and asked a few old questions calmly. Although he had no flaws in his answer, his eyes were wandering and he often subconsciously looked at Li You secretly, which made him more and more suspicious.

"Well, it's honest and reliable. Come and read a word to me. After reading it, you can become a team trainer." Li You used his trump card.

"Thank you, sir, what do you mean?" A hint of joy flashed in this person's eyes.
