The conditions proposed by Liang Xiao were undoubtedly a temptation.
Yesterday Liang Xiao distributed three taels of silver as a reward, and each candidate accepted it on the spot.
Just participating in the selection once, even if you quit, you can still get a total of six taels of silver?
Zhuge Ding's eyes were full of worry.
It has always been a taboo for military strategists to exaggerate other people's ambitions and destroy one's own prestige.
Of course he could see that Liang Xiao wanted to select loyal and brave men.
But loyalty and courage can be cultivated slowly, and there is no need to directly use methods that are close to intimidation to make them retreat in spite of difficulties.
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask: "Does Mr. Hou really mean what he said?"
"It's serious, and it can be distributed on the spot!"
After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he clapped his hands.
The guards came over carrying a treasure box and poured out the white silver inside.
Everyone saw it with eager eyes.
Money is always the most real thing.
"Quit in time and you will be rewarded with three taels of silver! After joining the military, you must be worthy of the salary and treatment you receive from now on! First of all, the Liang family army will receive extremely strict training, and secondly, they may become the first to enter the army at any time!"
Everyone's hearts trembled.
How is the First Assault Force different from the Suicide Squad?
As for rewards and other things, they are just a big deal. Who knows if you will live to enjoy them.
Liang Xiao repeatedly reminded Liang Jiajun of the dangers, causing more and more people to fall into deep thought.
Soon a dozen people raised their hands and quit.
Liang Xiao immediately asked people to distribute silver rewards to them.
Everyone below began to whisper.
Dozens more people watched as the dozen or so people who left returned their military status and left the military camp, but they couldn't help but sign up and quit.
Some people even turned red with anxiety.
A total of one hundred and twenty people chose to withdraw.
"Huh? There are still 2,400 people left?"
After counting the number of people, Liang Xiao was a little surprised.
Originally, he had prepared for the worst, even if only one person was left behind in the end, or even none at all.
According to his estimate, half of them should stay. After all, the Liang Jiajun's treatment is really good. The monthly salary of only three taels of silver is far higher than that of most soldiers in the country.
In times of war, the country may also impose forced conscription, and military service requires almost no monthly salary.
But faced with the threat of death and cruel training, most people will stay away.
Now, only more than a hundred people have withdrawn, and the remaining people have just reached 2,400.
Everyone at the scene raised their arms and shouted, everyone was excited.
"I admire you greatly for your high righteousness, taking care of the refugees and selling books at low prices! You can ride as fast as you want!"
"Your Majesty has great righteousness and died heroically for his country. Now that the Marquis is rich and powerful, he still carries on his father's ambition. How can we back down?"
"My hometown is Lanling. The Marquis has exempted us Lanling people from the food tax. Where justice comes, we will follow you in life and death!!"
Zhuge Ding was originally also surprised that two thousand people could stay. It was not until 2,400 people expressed their stance that he suddenly realized it.
These people not only pursue high-ranking officials and rich salaries, but also admire Liang Xiao for a long time.
Only then did Zhuge Ding remember what the registrar mentioned to him yesterday.
"Lord Zhuge, among the two thousand five hundred people, there are actually more than two hundred who are originally from Lanling and have come to the capital to work!"
Zhuge Ding didn't take this matter too seriously at the time, but now he understands that this is an unexpected surprise.
The two hundred or so people did not stick together because the number plates were selected based on the results yesterday and were scattered among the 2,500 people. The atmosphere created greatly affected everyone.
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it..." Zhuge Ding couldn't help but marvel.
Liang Xiao also found out that there were many Lanling people in the army, and felt emotional.
He originally just restored the tax system of his ancestors, and had not even gone to Lanling to arrange bridge repairs and road repairs. He never thought that so many strong men from Lanling would join the Liang family army.
Newspaper publicity is important, but the key is thanks to my grandfather and father.
If Lanling was just his own new fiefdom, rather than a fiefdom where the Lanling Marquis had reduced taxes for generations, it would be unlikely to have the effect it has today.
This is the good result of three generations of his Lanlinghou Mansion!
Ancient people were generally more repaying their kindness, and it was not unusual to die for a close friend.
Liang Xiao whispered to Zhuge Ding: "I originally just wanted to eliminate those who are short-sighted, greedy for life and afraid of death, so as to shape and adjust the military soul of the Liang Family Army, and then publicize it. I didn't expect that so many people would stay."
"Military soul?" Zhuge Ding was stunned and looked at Liang Xiao in surprise.
The boy in front of me is only seventeen years old, how can he think so far?
It's quite like Qian Jinshi Horse Bones. After the publicity is in place, it attracts more loyal and brave people.
There were 2,400 pairs of eyes in the audience, looking eagerly at Liang Xiao.
After the excitement, everyone calmed down.
Even if they are illiterate, they can understand that no one will casually let their direct troops die, especially those who have been raised with high treatment.
Liang Xiao said loudly: "Let me remind you once again that once you join the military, you must abide by military laws and obey them absolutely. Violators will be severely punished. Don't you regret it?"
"I will never regret it!" Everyone said in unison, firmly speaking.
Liang Xiao was rarely overjoyed.
"Okay! Welcome every member of the Liang Family Army. From now on, I, Liang Xiao, will share the honor and disgrace with you all!"
"As the first batch of members of the Liang Family Army, in addition to the fixed monthly salary of three to two taels, as the Marquis of Lanling, I will arrange an additional two taels of meat as a monthly allowance!"
Everyone was surprised and happy: "An extra two taels of silver for meat??"
Even the people in the capital generally do not have the freedom to eat meat!
Zhuge Ding had no objection.
This arrangement was of course made by Liang Xiao out of his own pocket as the head of the family.
If it weren't for the private army to avoid suspicion, Liang Xiao could even use these two taels of silver as extra monthly salary. Giving money is always the most practical.
Liang Xiao's performance today also convinced Zhuge.
Not to mention whether the Marquis can lead troops to fight, but just in terms of handling and pattern, he has the style of a famous general.
"Not only that! When the Liang family army officially joins the war, I will report it to the court. In addition to the routine rewards, I will also grant additional fields!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into cheers, and everyone knelt down once again.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!!"
In ancient times, gold and silver were hard currencies, especially gold.
Land and houses are also another special kind of hard currency.
Liang Xiao's promise convinced the first batch of Liang Jiajun who stayed to follow him, and they asked to join the training that day.
Liang Xiao only allowed them to rest for one day and arranged the layout of the military camp, such as beds, troops, and captains.
The news that the 2,400 Liang Jiajun chose to stay quickly spread throughout the south of the city.
Duan Yunyi, who was reading the memorial, couldn't help but be happy when he understood the situation.
The news sent by Xuanwei was that even Zhuge Hui was full of praise for Liang Xiao's performance today.
The loyalty of more than two hundred Lanling recruits can be regarded as a blessing to Liang Xiao.
After the joy, Duan Yunyi remembered Zhuge Hui's worries about Liang Xiao's personal safety, and he couldn't help but become worried.
"Let's send another hundred Xuanwei for him..."
Tuoba Jun was enjoying Mei Ji's singing and dancing at home. After hearing his subordinates' report on the situation in the military camp in the south of the city, his face turned pale and his wine glass fell from his hand and shattered on the ground.
"I still underestimated this person..."
