115, Chapter 115

"General Qin is here."

"Are we going to be accommodated today?"

"From now on, we are Qi people."

"It's good to be a Qiguo native. At least you don't have to worry about food all day long like in the tribe."

"No, what's more important than living?"

The surrendering barbarians all looked at Qin Fang, their eyes full of hope. Since surrendering, although they have not been displaced, but along the way, they have been worried about the outbreak of influenza. They were afraid that Qin Fang would leave them behind when they fell ill. After traveling for more than a month and living in tents here for so long, it almost added up to a month. Today, on the 10th, they finally became Qi people.

Qin Fang said: "Everyone, you follow the soldier you registered with yesterday. Your identity documents have been processed. From today on, you are ordinary people in Qiguo."

"Long live Qi Guo."

"Long live the imperial court of Qi State."

"Long live Emperor Qi Guo."

Qin Fang looked at them one by one with relaxed and relieved expressions, and he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, everyone, let's go. If anything happens, you can find the village ‌ or you ‌ town  ‌, If they don't care, you can come to the county seat to find the county magistrate. You must remember that you are ordinary people of Qi State, and Qi State will definitely not let you down. "

"Yes, thank you General Qin."

"General Qin, thank you for taking care of us along the way."

"General Qin, thank you."

He was so moved that he was caught off guard. Looking at the barbarians with red eyes saying thank you to him one by one, Qin Fang felt a different kind of emotion in his heart. He suddenly felt that a burden had been lifted on him, but I feel that this kind of burden is much more meaningful.

Once upon a time, he was a person who worked hard to survive. ‌ Come on, he is the one who works hard to make progress for money. But now, he must continue to work hard for his responsibilities.

Qin Fang said: "You are welcome, please line up, and then we will go to the city and take away the new people who belong to our country."

Eighteen townsmen: "Yes." They immediately lined up, and then the one at the top of the queue was Bai Zhen, "My name is Bai Baisen. A soldier is leading the new people of Qi State to come under my rule. Please follow me."

A soldier from ‌ came out and took him to register ‌ thirty-six households: "Baizhen ‌, it's me."

Baizhen said casually: "Would you mind if this soldier came with us to settle them?"

The soldier said, "Yes. Everyone, prepare your luggage and follow me."

Soldiers ‌ are Qin Fang’s squads ‌ who accept his orders. Each soldier ‌ leads a squad of ‌ consisting of ten people, so soldiers ‌ are also called ‌. This soldier led his small team and escorted thirty-six households of new people from Qi State to follow Baizhen.

Then, they came one after another, and before they left, they established new people in the country under their rule.

After all the new citizens of Qi State, more than 3,000 people, left, the county seat suddenly became empty. Only Qin Fang and the informant were left, and Qin Fang had brought hundreds of soldiers.

Qin Fang said to Magistrate Yang: "Master Yang, next I will build a military camp in Yunxiang County, and I will take over the city wall of Yunxiang County. Do you have any other problems here?"

Magistrate Yang hurriedly said: "No, no, everything will be arranged by General Qin." The people in his county were not originally used to guard the city wall, so Qin Fang took over, which he couldn't ask for.

Qin Fang nodded: "That's good."

Magistrate Yang added: "General, if you need help from our county government, just ask."

Qin Fang was not polite: "There is indeed a place where your help is needed, or in other words, there is a place where Mr. Yang's help is needed. The city defense force can recruit a thousand people, and I already have 500 people here. Five hundred people are to be selected. Therefore, Mr. Yang is asked to issue a recruitment announcement in the name of the county government. Each soldier selected will have a salary of one hundred yuan per month, and the food will be provided by the military camp. Time, those who are in good health.”

The men of Qi State were called boys with their hair tied at the age of fifteen, and they were crowned at the age of twenty. Therefore, Qin Fang requested that boys should be at least fifteen years old and their hair not yet tied up. Boys would not be able to choose. Between the age of fifteen and thirteen, it is the year of dancing with a spoon. The year of dancing with a spoon refers to a boy.

County Magistrate Yang said: "Yes, I will issue an announcement right now." One hundred liters a month, and you still have to eat, this is great news for the people of Yunxiang County. After all, recruiting troops in the county town is not like marching to the border to fight. Apart from the disasters that may occur every winter, there is no danger at all.

But this disaster will happen even if we don't recruit troops. What's more, there are generals guarding the city this year, so the situation is different.

Qin Fang has calculated that he still has more than 10,000 silver in his hands for military pay and 1,000 acres of land for food supply for the soldiers, so there is no need to worry. One thousand soldiers, each with one hundred silver coins per month, and a few hundred silver coins a month, which is one thousand two hundred silver coins a year. The military salary in his hand can cover ten years of silver coins per month. Moreover, the imperial court will allocate military pay every year, so no matter how small it is, he will not have to worry about it within ten or even fifteen years.

However, Qin Fang is not a fool.

He is a military general and is under the control of the Ministry of War. The boss of the Ministry of War is Du Ke. He wants military pay and wants the soldiers to live well, so he has to flatter Du Ke. As for the Ministry of Household Affairs, he has to flatter him. Qin Fang is not worried at all about the money. Isn’t this something Mr. Du should take care of?

Therefore, Qin Fang decided that Mr. Du would know everything about this matter by writing a letter.

Duko didn't know that he was already being entangled.

In fact, Qin Tai did not pester Du Ke. But he knows himself well. He has no background, no connections, and no path. Speaking of which, it is up to him to make the decision, but if he does, once something happens, he will also bear all the responsibility. responsibility. Qin Fang has a stable character, but he must find a way out for himself, and this way is Du Ke.

Tell Du Ke all the details of this matter. If something happens, at least it is not his own decision. He has already reported it to the Minister of War.

Qin Fang thought for a moment and then said: "The first thing to recruit troops is to repair the county city wall. The second thing is to repair the county wall. Your county government is ready to repair the city wall to the east. By the way, there is also the need to build military camps. ‌There is no shortage of materials. As for the location of the military camp, does Mr. Yang recommend a place? ”

"This..." Magistrate Yang asked, "Does the general have a place in his heart?"

Qin Fang said: "Let's just go to the eastern suburbs. I heard that there are many wild beasts on the beast mountain in the southeast. Every winter, because there is no physical food, they will come down the mountain to find prey. As a general guarding the city, it is my duty to protect the people. ‌Build the military camp in the eastern suburbs so that if there is any movement from the wild beasts, the military camp will be the first to know.”

When County Magistrate Yang heard this, he was deeply moved: "I'm going to replace Yunxiang County. People, thank you so much, General."

Qin Fang said: "No need, it's just a duty."

In the next few days, Magistrate Yang and his servants, and Qin Fang and his soldiers, became completely busy. Building city walls, building military camps, and recruiting troops are all tasks that do not take time and effort.

While Qin Fang was busy, Yang Haiyan finally came to Kunshi University.

Kunshi ‌ Niu Da hired a fleet of vehicles to transport ‌ acres of land and ‌ fruit trees. On the ‌acre, ‌ fruit trees survive, and there are ‌ eight ‌, that is, about 80 apple trees and 80 pear trees each. According to the carrying capacity of twenty fruit trees per truck, a total of eight trucks were hired this time.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment when they saw eight vehicles carrying fruit trees coming back and repairing the city wall. When looking from a distance, we didn’t know who it was, so everyone was very cautious. As they got closer, the soldiers recognized the leader as Kunshi Niu Da, and they hurriedly waved to greet him.

Tao Shan is Qin Fang's personal guard now, and he is supervising the repair of the city wall. When he saw Kun Shi and the others coming, he ran over happily: "Team, you are finally back."

Kunshi said: "No, I'm finally back. How have you been these past few days? Looking at the situation here, have those surrendering barbarians been settled?"

Tao Shan said: "After they have been settled, the general said, from now on they will be the new people of Qi State. Like us, we are all Qi State people and no longer barbarians."

Kunshi said: "Yes, yes, they are all from Qi State. Are you repairing the city wall now?"

Tao Shan: "I am repairing the city wall with the government officials and private guards, and the general is taking the soldiers to build the military camp. We now have 700 troops. We have brought 100 troops from the Yongzhou military camp. In addition to the 300 troops among the new people, we have recruited 300 here in the past few days. If we add another 100 troops, we will have a thousand troops. ‌There are thirty people now..."

Niu Da took people to the General's Mansion. Kunshi talked with Tao Shan for a while. After understanding the events of the past few days, Kunshi said: "I'm going to the military camp, like General's report."

Tao Shan: "Hey."

Eastern suburbs

From the county seat to the eastern suburbs, it takes less than a cup of tea to ride a horse. Seeing the military camp that had been built, Kunshi was very touched.

"General." Seeing Qin Fang's figure, Kunshi dismounted and shouted loudly.

Eight hundred troops were built to build a military camp, which was extremely fast. Clay, stones, wood, no matter what is needed, it can be prepared in a day. When building a military camp, you must first build an observation tower, followed by dormitories, kitchens, training grounds, and walls for soldiers in the camp.

Kunshi saw that the four watchtowers in the southeast, north and south were ready, and there were already soldiers standing guard on them. Not only the observation tower, but also the soldiers' dormitories in the camp were also built. It has to be said that with the help of the county government and the help of soldiers, it is indeed much easier to do things.

"General." When Qin Fang saw him, Kunshi's face, which was full of fatigue and dust, became energetic.

Qin Fang saw him: "I'm finally back. From now on, you will be in charge of all the private guards and guards of the government."

Kunshi stood up straight and said: "General, don't worry, my subordinates will not let you down."
