"You did the right thing in this matter. I don't want to lose such a strong general as Liu Cheng. I need to provide necessary comfort, but I can't believe his words.
Let him recruit soldiers for training first, observe him for a period of time, see his performance during this period, and then make a conclusion.
Weapons and equipment should not be given to him in a hurry."
Dong Zhuo, who had only been in Luoyang for a few months and was getting fatter and fatter, touched his proud and round belly and said to Li Ru...
…
Naturally, Liu Cheng didn't know that he was recruiting troops here at this time.
Liu Cheng and Lu Yang were not familiar with the matter of recruiting soldiers. Li Jin, who was from the Cheng clan and had served as a lieutenant in Zhongmu County, was very skilled in this matter, so Liu Cheng gave him the leadership this time.
.
Li Jin chose a place with dense villages and a large threshing floor, and had a large fat pig transported with the team be slaughtered on the spot, disemboweled, and made a fire for cooking.
While doing these things, some other people were arranged to carry official documents with seals to inform the surrounding villages about the recruitment of soldiers.
The most important point is that after you apply, you will get 800 yuan in cash every month. If you die in battle, you will get 10,000 yuan in buried money.
"Jinxian, do you think there are many people applying?"
Liu Cheng looked at the surrounding villages for a while and saw that there was still no big movement. Liu Cheng, who had never recruited troops for a while, felt a little unsure.
"Captain, just don't worry, the soldiers and horses recruited on weekdays usually only cost 500 coins, and the most is 600 coins.
The money burned and buried was only five thousand yuan at most.
Now that the captain has raised the price to the same high level, there will definitely be many people applying.
For many poor people, life is worthless and money is a good thing.
Now if they apply, they can get 800 yuan a month. Even if they unfortunately die in battle, they can still earn 10,000 yuan for their families and don't have to worry about family problems. Where can they find such a good thing?"
Li Jin smiled and Liu Cheng said.
Then he said: "Captain, the prices you have set are a bit high. If you pay five hundred a month and five thousand if you die in battle, a lot of people will come to apply."
Liu Cheng shook his head and refused: "Ten thousand dollars can only buy four big pigs at this time. These are human lives, and they must be more valuable than the lives of animals."
Li Jin cupped his fists and saluted Liu Cheng and said: "Captain Renyi will definitely be able to recruit a good man. Li Jin is here. I would like to thank the captain for all the officers and men!"
…
What Li Jin said is not wrong at all. Human life in this era is really worthless.
After hearing about the extremely high recruitment price offered by Liu Cheng and confirming that it was true, many people soon flocked to where Liu Cheng and others were, eager to join the army.
Of course, in addition to these, adding some meat, adding a lot of wild vegetables, and adding some rice that is not washed and cooked directly is also very attractive.
"Don't be anxious! Anyone who comes, even if he can't join the army, will still be able to receive a bowl of steaming meat porridge! I, Liu Kede, am the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan and a clan member of the Han Dynasty. I must keep my word!"
Liu Cheng stood on top of several sacks containing grain and shouted at the top of his lungs.
His loud voice once again played its due role at this time.
He suppressed the noisy noises from many people and transmitted the words clearly to the ears of everyone present.
Those present were obviously the elderly who came over to eat and drink, as well as some hungry children who sucked their fingers. After hearing Liu Cheng's words, they immediately let out a burst of cheers.
They have never seen anyone so generous to them!
Some young men who were originally hesitant about joining the army suddenly made up their minds to join the army.
Because they felt that Captain Liu was so generous to the parents and children in his hometown who could not join the army, so when the time comes in the army, he would not treat themselves and others too badly!
Looking at the registration site, which suddenly became more enthusiastic, Li Jin gave Liu Cheng a thumbs up.
This is a new way of praising people that he has learned from Liu Cheng these days...
"The one who provides you with free meat porridge today, and the one who provides such high recruitment treatment to your fathers, brothers, and sons, is the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, Empress Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Cheng Liu Kede, Marquis of Cheng Gao Ting!
Don't forget the person who dug the well. If you have received a favor from someone, I don't ask you to repay it. At least you have to remember the name of the benefactor!
What is good to you today is Cheng Gao, Liu Cheng, and Liu Xuande!"
By the afternoon, the recruitment of soldiers was completely over, and everyone present had eaten meat porridge.
Even later, Liu Cheng saw some old people and children eating greedily and being pitifully thin, so he specially cooked some for them and gave them extra meals so that they could have a full meal.
Of course Liu Cheng did not say what he just said. If he said these words, the effect would be somewhat compromised.
But when he was getting ready to leave, Lu Yang, who had been following Liu Cheng all the way, jumped onto a donkey cart, stood there, and shouted to everyone present.
Seeing this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but secretly praise Lu Yang, secretly thinking that this guy knows how to get into trouble.
Then he suddenly changed his color and reprimanded Lu Yang with a displeased look on his face: "What are you doing when you retreat?!"
I, Liu Cheng, Liu Kede, just treated the folks present to a simple meal, which is not worth mentioning. Is it worth mentioning it to you?
I, Liu Cheng, Liu Kede, the dignified Queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing, am not the kind of person who shows kindness and asks for something in return? Don't say that again in the future!"
Lu Yang understood and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had done something wrong.
After such an operation, many people were moved by the kind and kind Han clan clan in front of them.
This Han clan clan member named Liu Cheng and Liu Kede is really a rare good official. There are not many officials who are willing to be kind to the people these days, and there are even fewer officials who are kind to the people without asking for anything in return!!!
It’s not that Liu Cheng has done many things, but it’s because he was highlighted by his colleagues like this...
