Perhaps because he was afraid of the three fires of the new official taking office, Song Yan was very efficient in his work and delivered the list of Qingzhou united soldiers to Lin Zhao early the next morning.

The Unity Soldier is a bit similar to a militia regiment, not a professional soldier. They still work at home on weekdays, but they will gather together to train when the government summons them.

Even during training, these people had no money to get. The government gave the condition to exempt the united troops from the levy.

In other words, if one person joins the army, the whole family will no longer have to pay taxes.

Of course, when training in centralized training, the yamen has to take care of the food.

The united army system was established in the early stage of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was initially established to resist foreign troubles on the border and allow local governments to deal with local bandits. Later, armed forces gradually formed. In addition to the states' states' states' states, some states also had defense envoys, and the states' regiment envoys also had capital regiment envoys.

When you reach the level of Dutuan Training Envoy, you can often control the armed forces in the area and become the second only to the Jiedushi.

After Lin Zhao obtained the list of regiment training envoys, he asked Song Yan about the camp where Tuanjie soldiers trained on weekdays, and asked the second-in-command of Qingzhou to take him to the Tuanjie soldiers camp to take a look.

At the first level of official position, Lin Zhao opened his mouth, and Song Yan could only obey and take Lin Zhao to the Unity Barracks outside the city.

Song Yan himself has a sedan chair, but when he saw Lin Zhao riding a horse, he was not very embarrassed to sit in a sedan chair. After asking for a horse from Lin Zhao, he rode out of the city with Lin Zhao.

The Unity Army Camp was said to be a camp, but in fact, it was just a huge open space before. The open space was surrounded by wooden fences, leaving only one exit for people to enter and exit.

After arriving at this camp, Song Yan first introduced Lin Zhao to the situation here, and then he looked at Lin Zhao carefully and asked, "Eunuch, you have just arrived in Qingzhou and don't take over the government affairs of the governor's office. Why are you so concerned about these united soldiers..."

Of course, Song Yan was a little puzzled.

In his opinion, the hundreds of Unity soldiers in Qingzhou were all dispensable militias. In previous years, many wealthy families in Qingzhou who had no fame would throw their own children into the Unity soldiers camp in order to exempt them from the levy.

The former governor Yang turned a blind eye to these situations, which led to the extremely poor combat effectiveness of the united soldiers in Qingzhou.

It can even be said that there is basically no combat power.

After Lin Zhao looked around in this camp, he turned to Song Yan and smiled slightly: "The affairs of the governor's mansion are not in a hurry for the time being. I want to get the united soldiers of Qingzhou first."

In the past two years, Lin Zhao has been working in the province. During the period of work, he has to face countless official documents every day, so handling official affairs in the yamen is not a difficult task for him.

The real difficulty is how to officially get the Qingzhou Unified Soldiers and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

After inspecting the camp on the spot, Lin Zhao took out the list of united soldiers handed to him by Song Yan from his sleeve. After reading it, he slowly spoke to Song Yan: "Song Biejia, I heard that many wealthy families in Qingzhou City sent one of their families as united soldiers in order to escape the imperial court's levy. Isn't it?"

Song Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed respectfully: "It's true that the envoy returned to the envoy, because Yang governor had received many benefits from wealthy families before, so my Qingzhou yamen could only turn a blind eye to these things."

After hearing this, Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled at him, without exposing him.

Governor Yang was taken away by the court, and these Qingzhou officials put all the crimes in Qingzhou City on the former Governor. This is a common thing in the officialdom. Lin Zhao was still unable to do without these people for a while, and he was too lazy to fight against them at this time.

At this time, most of his thoughts were on the Unity Soldiers. After hearing this, he said lightly: "Since it was the former governor Yang who did something wrong, then our Qingzhou yamen naturally cannot follow the rules of governor Yang. After today, we will verify the family background of the Unity Soldiers in Qingzhou. Anyone with a family land of more than 20 acres shall not be a Unity Soldier."

Hearing Lin Zhao's words, Song Yan did not resist too much, but just lowered his head slightly: "Sir, please follow the envoy's orders."

The reason why Song Yan did not resist Lin Zhao's interests was not because he really bowed to Lin Zhao, but because attacking those wealthy families did not involve the interests of scholars and officials like Song Yan.

Anyone who wants to avoid taxes through the method of uniting troops will definitely not be able to pass the exam, otherwise there will be no need to use such troublesome methods.

Therefore, even though Lin Zhao cut off the way for these people to avoid taxes, he only cut off the access of the rich families at the bottom, and did not hurt the real gentry class.

If Lin Zhao first came to Qingzhou, he would stand on the opposite side of those gentry, then the local forces in Qingzhou would not be able to tolerate him, and Lin Zhao's future governance would be difficult.

Just like when Cheng Jingzong first arrived in Yuezhou, Lin Yuanda, who had been dismissed from his post at the time, even dared to openly threaten him that he could not get out of Yuezhou City!

In this era, the power of local clans was extremely powerful.

Hearing Song Yan's reply, Lin Zhao nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "In addition to this matter, there is another thing that is to issue a convening order in the name of the governor's office. In three days, I will meet all the united soldiers in Qingzhou here."

Lin Sanlang's face was calm and he spoke, "If anyone has not arrived, he will be removed from the united army."

Song Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Eunuch, it is not the season for scheduling the group to form troops. Most of them are helping farmers at home. Will summoning them at this time delay the people's farming..."

"It won't be delayed in one or two days."

Governor Lin said lightly: "Besides, it's not a forced convene. Even if one of them doesn't come, I won't say much. At worst, I can start to form a united soldier again."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao looked at Song Yan and said, "Okay, Song Biejia will go and do it quickly. In the past few days, except for the affairs that must be handled by the governor, Song Biejia will temporarily do other things in the yamen."

Song Yan looked at Lin Zhao in shock.

"Your envoy..."

The young governor smiled at his deputy: "Yes, I will stay here these days."

"Okay, Brother Yupu, hurry up and do what I said."

The smile on the face of Governor Lin had disappeared.

"Although we two have a good conversation, public is public and private is private. If Brother Yu Pu does not do a good job in business, don't blame me for turning against me at that time."

Yu Pu is the face of Song Yan.

After hearing Lin Zhao's warning words, Song Biejia took a deep breath and bowed to Lin Zhao: "Sir, please go to summon the group to form troops as the envoy's orders."

After saying that, he bowed to Lin Zhao and turned around and went back to Qingzhou City.

After Song Biejia left, Lin Zhao turned around and looked at the empty space, and his voice was low: "Okay, brothers, we may have to be busy in these three days."

Zhao Xie was always following Lin Zhao, and was a little curious when he heard this: "Young Master..."

“I want to expand this camp.”

Lin Zhao's voice was calm and he spoke: "This place is too small, at least three times the size, so it can be called the camp of my Qingzhou Tuanjian."

"We will use fences to enclose a larger site in the past few days."

Zhao Xie looked around and reached out and scratched his head: "Young master, it must be enough for hundreds of people to camp in such a big place..."

"How can the united soldiers in Qingzhou have only a few hundred people?"

Lin Zhao smiled at Zhao Xie and said, "The maximum limit for united troops in a continent is a thousand five, and our Qingzhou will be fully recruited."

The newly appointed governor Lin looked up at the open space and smiled faintly: "My ex only had more than 300 united soldiers, one was because of laziness, the other was because of embezzlement, and even more because Qingzhou did not have the ability to raise more people."

"And I'm different."

Lin Zhao looked at Zhao Xie with a confident smile.

“I have money.”
