The settlement allowance starts from ten taels of silver, and the pension starts from one hundred taels of silver.

This treatment is really... ridiculously high!

The many people who were watching couldn't help but look at each other at this moment.

They knew that the imperial court's treatment for the conscription was good, but they did not expect it to be so good.

This is not just a doubling, but several times.

Ten taels of silver, just for joining the army!

That’s enough to cover the expenses of a family of three for nearly half a year!

And you get a salary as a soldier!

This basically means that one person serving as a soldier is enough to support the whole family!

As long as the family doesn't study or practice martial arts, that's more than enough.

During festivals and festivals, you can still eat meat and even pull out a few feet of cloth to make new clothes.

As for the one hundred taels of death pension, if the person who joined the army really dies, this money can also ensure the growth of the children in the family.

After all, it’s really not a loss! Even a little authentic!

The imperial court has already considered all the options for them, they just need to fight with all their might!

For a moment, those who were still scornful of the conscription were now involuntarily ready to take action.

"General, do you mean what you say? You're not trying to trick me into waiting, are you?"

"I mean what I say to you, the general! If you feel unworthy of any treatment after joining the army, just go to Wulinghou Mansion to find me!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around him suddenly felt at ease.

They don't know about the others, but the Wulinghou Mansion is right there! The monk can run away, but he can't run away from the temple!

Moreover, Li Changkong said these words in front of everyone, and there is no fear that he will deny it in the future!

"General, the benefits you mentioned are only available to soldiers who join the army in Jizhou?"

Among the crowd, another sharp-eyed person asked.

Li Changkong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this.

I'm not afraid of you asking. Asking means you are interested and may join the army.

What scares me the most is not even asking!

"Of course not. This recruitment includes Qiandu City and the three surrounding prefectures, and this is the treatment!"

"If you are interested, you can go to the recruitment office in Qiandu City and ask."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him felt completely at ease.

Li Changkong said: "Okay, if there are no other problems, I will leave the city."

"If anyone wants to join the army, as long as they are over fifteen and under sixty, they can go directly to the recruitment office to enlist!"

After saying this, the surrounding people immediately gave way to a path.

Li Changkong left with the veterans and scholars!

However, not long after they left.

A cavalry force of one hundred people slowly walked out of the mountains and forests outside the city, following Li Changkong and others quietly.

The leader was Caiyun, who was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic!

After being trained by Princess Changping, every woman in the Detachment of Women can stand alone on the battlefield!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat Bei Yuan Langqi!

After traveling for a while, Li Jibei suddenly opened his eyes in the carriage, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "We are being followed."

When Zhen Jian heard this, he was suddenly shocked and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist!

On the contrary, Li Changkong waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient. Some people want me to die now, so naturally some people want me to live now!"

"This trip is probably safe, but you must be on guard against others. Zhen Jian, take Fan Zhong with you to investigate. Be careful."

Hearing this, Zhen Jian nodded and said: "No!" Then he got out of the carriage holding the handle of his knife!

After a while, Zhen Jian rushed back after a long journey and said to Li Changkong: "Master, there are indeed people following us, probably more than a hundred people!"

"They are all elite cavalry. They seem to have strict military discipline and strong combat power."

"It's just that, what's a little strange is that the leader is actually a woman."

"Female?" Li Changkong raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

After thinking for a while, he already guessed the identity of this group of people, so he nodded and said: "Ji Bei, don't worry about this group of people for now, let them follow behind and see what they can find." Fame."

Seeing that Li Changkong knew what was going on, Li Jibei said no more, just nodded, and leaned against the car window again to take a nap.



Jizhou, Zhizhou Prefecture!

The last magistrate of Jizhou was named Hou Zheng, but unfortunately he died in battle during Liu Jing's rebellion.

Later, he was posthumously named the Cabinet Elder, with the posthumous title of Zhongzheng!

It’s quite a posthumous name!

The current magistrate of Jizhou is Chen Xituan, the magistrate of Cangwu Prefecture in Jizhou when Hou Zheng was in office.

After Hou Zheng's death, when the court had no time to take care of itself, it was he who stepped forward to take charge of the affairs of the state.

As a result, Jizhou was not completely reduced to a war-torn place because of Liu Jing.

Great contribution! In addition, during his tenure in Cangwu Mansion, he had many political achievements, so after the imperial court put down the rebellion, Liu Yuqin was named the magistrate of Jizhou!

However, Chen Xituan was a little worried at this moment.

On the desk in front of him was an imperial order from the imperial court. It said that Uncle Anbei was coming to Jizhou to recruit troops, and he was required to cooperate fully!

But whether to cooperate or not is not up to him alone, it is up to the people of Jizhou as a whole!

If someone just refuses to join the army, can he still go door to door to force him?

Because of the last Liu Jing rebellion, the imperial court had no time to take care of Jizhou, and the people of Jizhou suffered a lot of war.

Therefore, not only are they not very willing to join the army, they are even extremely resistant to it!

How can you give him full support under such circumstances?

But he also knew the importance of this conscription, which was a major matter related to the country!

If he doesn't handle it well, he may be in trouble.

"Cai Tongzhi, Lu Tongpan, what do you two think about this matter?" Chen Xituan rubbed his eyebrows and asked his two subordinate officers.

After hearing the words, Lu Tongpan pondered for a moment, and then spoke first: "Master Zhizhou, this conscription is a major matter related to the country. This decree was issued directly through the cabinet, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to it!"

"So even though I'm just being reasonable, I have to help Marquis Wu Ling get things done properly!"

"Lu Tongjian's statement is wrong. The conscription is important, but the people's hearts are not important?" Cai Tongzhi frowned and retorted: "If you force the people's will for the sake of conscription, in the end, even if you recruit soldiers, you will lose." Win the hearts of the people!"

"Then how should we govern this huge Jizhou in the future?"

When Chen Xituan heard this, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

To be honest, this was exactly what he was worried about!

The current situation in Jizhou is that one has to choose between conscription and popular support!

This is a conflict between the court and the people. Local officials like him are really suffering if they are caught in the middle!

Who would have thought that when Judge Lu Tong heard this, he slapped the table and said again: "Master Cai, you are confused!"

"What is the purpose of this conscription? It is to go north to fight against the Yuan Dynasty!"

"I have heard that even the King of Zhongshan was defeated by the Beiyuan barbarians."

"If we can't gather enough soldiers to support us, we won't be able to manage Jizhou by then. We won't even know whether Jizhou is still alive or not!"
