Wan Lao Yao's entire attention was attracted by Fang Xiaoyue's words for a moment, and he didn't even realize that his legs were unconsciously walking towards Sun Xuebin's table.
"Come on, come on, wait here for a moment, and when we have gathered ten people, we will take you to dinner together."
Sun Xuebin was so excited when he saw that someone was finally willing to join the team training. He had long forgotten all his previous thoughts about strict selection and strict selection.
No way, who would know that these ordinary people can't even afford food, but they still have the decadent idea that good men should not be soldiers?
"Can, can you eat first? I'm hungry."
Since dinner was being cooked in the county government office at this time, the smell of meat wafting from the county government office made Wan Laoyao brave enough to ask.
"Well, that's okay."
At this time, Sun Xuebin suddenly became enlightened. He remembered the situation of these people and felt that this request could be met.
Soon, a large barrel of cooked rice, a barrel of cooked braised pork, and a barrel of vegetable soup were carried out happily by several government officials.
He took the brand new wooden bowl and walked over. One of the people in charge of the time saw that he was the first to sign up to join the army and felt that he should be given a discount, so he gave him a big spoonful of braised pork and some
Rice, the whole wooden bowl is pressed tightly.
Wan Lao Yao, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his meat and rice, huddled beside the county government wall with the wooden bowl in hand. Before inserting the chopsticks into the wooden bowl, the saliva from his mouth started to flow down involuntarily.
Although he is considered a part-time hunter, in fact, hunters do not often get meat.
There is famine everywhere these days. The hunter's first consideration after catching a prey is to sell it at the market, exchange it for copper coins, and then buy rice grain, so that the family will not starve to death.
If a hunter catches prey and grills it in the mountains to satisfy his stomach, the family will probably starve to death.
After all, the calories provided to the stomach are completely different when a prey is eaten and when rice is eaten.
But meat is meat, and its deliciousness is incomparable to rice.
What's more, in this era, most people can't afford to eat a lot of white rice. They can only use steamed buns, wheat rice and other foods to fill their stomachs. After all, if the millet is turned into white rice, the losses will be that of most people.
No one is willing to bear the pain!
In any case, when Wan Laoyao devoured the braised pork, the aroma of the braised pork sauce mixed with white rice had already reached the nostrils of others.
At the same time, under Sun Xuebin's loud promotion, the crowd waiting for recruitment quickly learned the great news.
When you train in a regiment, your salary is half that of a long-term worker, and you can also eat more meat!
At this time, there was a fool squatting in the corner eating meat and white rice!
Well, both Fang Xiaoyue and Sun Xuebin underestimated the people's desire for meat and white rice in this era.
In fact, long-term farm workers can also eat meat, but they only eat less meat than soldiers.
But at this time, there was only one thought left in their minds, that is, only by serving as soldiers could they eat meat.
Well, in less than ten minutes, before Wan Lao Yao could finish the food in the wooden bowl, a large group of people gathered in front of Sun Xuebin's table, demanding to join the team training in high spirits.
This made Sun Xuebin so happy that his brows almost bloomed.
"Don't worry, everyone, line up first..."
When the recruitment was over, everyone gathered together and counted the number of people, and everyone couldn't help but smile.
There are more than 300 long-term farm workers alone!
In addition, there are more than 30 technical staff such as blacksmiths and carpenters.
As for Sun Xuebin's regiment training, he recruited more than 500 people at once!
Well, actually, when putting these people on the big truck to transport them to the dock area, Fang Xiaoyue saw a lot of military households wearing tattered uniforms.
This is not surprising. As mentioned before, the military household system established during the Hongwu period has almost completely collapsed by this time.
In the situation of hunger and inability to survive, a large number of military households fled. Most of the thousand-household stations were not full of staff, and the population of some thousand-household stations even dropped to hundreds.
These fleeing military households also need to survive. Most of them work in counties and other places to support their families.
To be precise, they are actually no different from ordinary people.
So when they heard that team members could eat meat and white rice, they seemed crazy.
If it weren't for the fact that 500 people had temporarily reached the upper limit required by the Provisional Management Committee, Sun Xuebin opened his mouth to recruit people and relaxed the time to a week, the regiment training could recruit more than 2,000 people!
Why?
The reason is very simple. It takes time for the message to be transmitted. Once the message is transmitted to other thousand households, those military households who can hardly survive will rush to Qiongshan County like crazy!
In order to ensure the safety of Qiongshan County, a source of population resources, the Provisional Management Committee temporarily stationed a hundred cross-country warriors in the county town of Qiongshan County, equipped with half five-shot rifles and half Minie rifles.
With such armed strength stationed on the top of the city, even if two to three thousand Ming troops came to attack, it would be basically impossible to capture Qiongshan County.
And now there are PHSs in the travel industry. Although the signal here in Qiongshan County is not very good, it is enough for communication purposes.
Once a large army gathers to attack Qiongshan County, people from the dock area can be pulled over at any time to support them.
After finishing this busy period, Fang Xiaoyue turned her attention back to the design and production of the Mini rifle production line.
However, before he could completely design the production line, the interim management committee held a temporary meeting. Not only the major leaders participated, but also the backbone of each group was asked to participate in the meeting.
The main purpose of this meeting is how to develop financial resources!
"...Finally, as mentioned above, we are almost out of money."
Qian Lihong, leader of the logistics team and treasurer of the interim management committee, announced a conclusion after reciting some data in large paragraphs, which shocked everyone present.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Last time we attacked Qiongshan County, didn't we plunder more than 300 taels of silver from the county treasury? We also confiscated the houses of several unkind landlords nearby. There are also 3000 taels of silver here.
How about two more silver coins?"
What Sun Xuebin said about landlords and old money is that a few days ago, in order to gather the hearts of long-term workers, regiment training, etc. under the management committee, the Provisional Management Committee specially came out with a big weapon: a grievance meeting!
They first told the grievance meeting about their poor life experience, and how the government treated them. Their daughter was dragged away and sold by the landlord Wang because he defaulted on the debt.
