Chapter 492 Hong Siqi's Plan

Everyone's ability to accept is different, and there will inevitably be people who agree first and then later. This is unavoidable.

Give half a month to let those who are willing to stay first taste the benefits, and those who are still hesitant will naturally flock to it. From Hong Siqi's point of view, there are very few people who can think for themselves, and most people just follow other people throughout their lives.

Hearing that there was time to wait and see, he could go home if he really didn't want to. Such a good thing made the prisoner instantly excited. Seeing the eagerness of everyone in the audience, Hong Siqi knew that most of the matter was finalized.

"Everyone, please be patient. It is not difficult to take root in Jinxia City, but the kind of life you can live depends on you. The key to this is work - what kind of job is most suitable for you, What should you pay attention to when working? These are all questions that may bother you in the early stages! ”

"Sir...then what should we do?" Tuo asked in time at this time.

"Don't worry too much. I have opened a small church in the city to answer questions for new residents. I also have a complete set of training courses to avoid newcomers losing their head start in the process." Hong Siqi said. He said in the most sincere tone, "But I must say that these questions and answers are not free! Whether you need guidance depends on your own decision. After all, as I said before, it is very easy to take root in Jinxia City. Just listen to the affairs. That’s enough!”

The Secretariat is a place that Mr. Xia has sole control over, and he doesn't dare to poach the opponent's corner.

Therefore, emphasizing "voluntariness" is the top priority.

Hong Siqi finally figured it out. As long as there was no subjective malice and no goal of harming the public, enriching private interests, or exploiting others, Master Xia didn't mind him earning a little extra money. Although the target of earning this time is the settled captives, he can indeed provide more detailed guidance than the Secretariat, as well as his personal summary of work experience in the past six months.

In the old officialdom, even if someone spent a lot of money to buy it, they might not be able to buy such benefits.

"Then may I ask, sir... how do you determine your tuition fee?"

While the crowd was still digesting the news, key questions were already being asked.

Hong Siqi's eyes fell on that person - he looked like a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a rather lively look on his face. The former prefect nodded slightly. Even without his guidance, such a person would be able to live a good life in Jinxia City. "The courses are divided into three periods, and the fees are also divided into three periods. Each time, only 20% of the monthly salary is charged. Instead, In other words, you don’t need to pay the fee in advance. It’s not too late to confirm the training results after your salary is paid. In addition, the small hall only charges a minimum fee of one month, and you can withdraw at any time.”

The ratio of 20% didn't sound like much, and it could be paid in installments, which aroused everyone's interest. The people on the stage were Jinxia City officials after all. Usually when they see the court officials, even the eighth-grade county magistrate, they have to pay Keep your head down and stand aside. Nowadays, you can get advice from officials for a little money. It's not a loss no matter how you look at it.

Hong Siqi raised his lips. The jobs recruited by the General Affairs Bureau cost between three and five taels of silver. If a person had completed three terms, he would earn at least three taels of silver. What if he could bring in a hundred people, a thousand people? How many more than tens of thousands of residents will move into Jinxia City in the future? This idea emerged in his mind after seeing the completely different styles and concepts between the Secretariat and other local governments. After some preparations, it was finally time to test the waters - for Hong Siqi, this was not a one-time deal, but a long-term industry.

"That's all I have to say. Those who are willing to stay can go on stage and make pledges now!" He finally said with open arms.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of people rushed towards the stage.

"Sir, I am willing to stay!"

"I want to sign up for the chapel!"

The scene suddenly became very lively.

Hong Siqi stroked his beard and smiled. He had a premonition that this industry would not only bring him huge income, but might also have some profound impact on Jinxia City.

…

Five days later, on the outskirts of Baihe City.

He Guicai walked into the princess's camp and handed the next phase of the battle plan to Ning Wanjun.

The latter did not open it immediately, but asked, "Is there any reaction from the Privy Council?"

"Back to Your Highness, we haven't found anything yet." He Guicai shook his head, "The opponent's main force is still advancing in the direction of Jinxia, ​​but after being blocked by our mines many times, the arrival time determined by the staff has been postponed. for three days.”

"No matter how slow the intelligence transmission is, they should have received the news of the defeat of the border army..." Ning Wanjun frowned, "Does Ning Qianshi think that as long as Jinxia is captured, our army will surrender without a fight? ?”

After a series of offensive operations, both the Jinxia Left Army and the Right Army achieved impressive results. Taking advantage of the advantages in intelligence and the high mobility of the machine beasts, the opponent was attacked from both sides and front every time they fought. In order to strengthen the defense, the generals of the Privy Council had to gather their troops into groups, but the Jinxia Army was able to separate into many squads of hundreds of people. Attacking the opponent from multiple directions, a force of four to five thousand people can often create a momentum ten times greater than one's own. Facing the overwhelming waves of attacks, the enemy's fighting spirit retreated very quickly, and the victory or defeat could be determined in basically half a day.

The Privy Council's attempt to protect the two wings was being gradually disintegrated by Jinxia. The two sides had been fighting for only a week, and half of the 90,000-man border troops had been eaten up by Ning Wanjun and Xu Sanzhong. At this rate, the enemy's main force would not have time to reach Jinxia City, and the soldiers on the two wings would be completely lost. As for the plan to seize Anshen, Baihe and other major cities in Shenzhou, and then restrict the scope of Jinxia's army's activities, it was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

What's more subtle is that Qian, who had basically recovered from his injuries, took Yan Qing's initiative to apply to join the army and participate in the confrontation with the Privy Council. The joining of a Yuyi and a Qingjian greatly relieved Xia Fan's pressure on running around. The Jinxia Army, whether it was conventional forces or alchemists, reached its peak at this moment.

The main force of the Privy Council should have realized that they could not join forces with Jinxia from the north, west and south as originally planned. If they did not change their formation quickly to deal with it, these 90,000 people would be just meat in the princess' mouth.

"Perhaps the opponent thinks that our main force still has the highest priority to protect Jinxia City. Instead of wasting time on the battle for the border, it is better to press to the gate of the capital as soon as possible and attack our side. As long as they defeat Jinxia in the main battle, the victory will still be theirs." He Guicai tried to analyze.

"You mean, these border troops are just bait to distract our attention?" Ning Wanjun frowned, "Without the protection of the flank, can they really attack the city with peace of mind?"

"This is also what confuses the General Staff, but one thing is certain, the Privy Council probably doesn't care about the life and death of the border troops."

"Humph, it seems like their usual practice," Ning Wanjun sneered, "In this case, we don't have to be polite, just completely eliminate these isolated troops that are sent to the door halfway!"
