The campaign to promote blessings was a great success after a period of hard work.
People seemed to be gradually coming back to their memories, thinking about Lu Zhi, who is still serving as the shepherd of Jizhou, and the fact that Lu Zhi will inevitably be promoted to the position of Sangong in the future, and then thought about some possibilities after Liu Bei, who has a history of overseas deployment, returns to Luoyang. sex.
They quickly revised their initial impression and judged that this was not rejection and exile, but some kind of ardent expectation.
Therefore, they rushed to please Liu Bei, invested in Liu Bei, bought his blessings, and tried to form a good relationship in order to make profits in the future.
There is nothing to criticize about what you and I wish to do. They look forward to future benefits, while Liu Bei needs immediate support. Everyone gets what they need, hello, me, everyone.
Liu Bei relied on his academic status as the founder of the Yue Family, his political status as a Liangzhou Mu, and his military status as General Zuo. With these three identities and certain expectations for the future, Liu Bei successfully mobilized hundreds of millions of resources for recruiting troops. .
Calculating the total value of these cash and materials, the total value is about 400 million yuan.
These money and resources can be so small that the leader of a family can easily use a quarter of the amount to exchange for the position of Taiwei for a year.
In the eyes of the real rich and powerful, this money is just a small amount of money for their luxury enjoyment.
There can be a lot of money and resources. It is not just for raising 8,000 soldiers. It is enough to be Liu Bei's savings. It can even be used for the governance of Liangzhou, benefiting the 500,000 registered residents of Liangzhou. , and more "savages" who are not in the household registration.
In the eyes of people who really want to get things done, this amount of money can transform a state and change the fate of millions of people.
During the current period, the price of food in the Land of Three Rivers has increased due to the two wars. It has generally risen to the price of 220 to 250 qian per stone. Even based on the high level of 250 qian per stone, it is still It allows Liu Bei to purchase 1.6 million shi of grain.
One stone in the Eastern Han Dynasty was equivalent to about 27 kilograms. This money was equivalent to allowing Liu Bei to buy 43.2 million kilograms of grain.
Soldiers are roughly equal to manual workers. If training is strengthened, the physical exertion will be even higher than that of a normal manual worker.
When a normal manual worker lacks non-staple food and mainly eats rice, he should ensure an intake of one kilogram of rice staple food a day to ensure energy supply and no physical problems.
In this way, this amount of money could theoretically allow Liu Bei to feed 43.2 million people for a day, and four-fifths of the entire population of Han Dynasty could feed themselves for a day with this amount of money.
As for the headquarters of more than 30,000 people under Liu Bei, if they simply eat food, with this money, they can have enough food for more than three years. If you save some money, it will not be a problem to feed them for four years.
But the vast majority of people who own this wealth will never make such calculations and act according to this kind of thinking. They will not consider using this money to those who need it most, which will only reduce their quality of life.
After all, money always flows to those who are least in need of money, and love always flows to those who are least in need of love.
This has to be said to be the tragedy of the times.
But Liu Bei had the confidence to let this sorrow fail in his own case.
He came to Liangzhou for three things.
Make yourself strong, let Liangzhou change, and make those who are short of money and love have a slightly better life.
With money in his hands and confidence in his heart, Liu Bei began to issue recruitment orders in the land of Three Rivers, recruiting brave warriors to join the army and receiving preferential treatment.
Of course, people who are not from the Land of Three Rivers are also welcome. The time is limited, but there is no restriction on origin. As long as they are willing to join the army and are men between eighteen and thirty years old, they can sign up.
Liu Bei's reputation is not mentioned in other places, but only in the area near Luoyang and the Three Rivers. It is a resounding golden sign.
Mainly because most of the soldiers who followed him on the expedition to Hebei and Liangzhou had registered residence in the Three Rivers area and lived there. After accepting Liu Bei's kindness, they would naturally spread Liu Bei's reputation.
For example, when it comes to caring for your subordinates, the supplies in the military camp are always the most abundant. I will definitely feed you when you eat. What I always say is that you can't go hungry in war.
For example, the medicine in the military camp is also the most abundant. It is important to never abandon or give up. As long as you still have breath, Liu Bei will not give up on you. No matter how much medicine is used, he will save you.
There are also very generous rewards. As long as there are any rewards, Liu Bei will definitely reward them to his subordinates and soldiers, but he will not keep anything.
And Liu Bei is very fair. When he joins the army, he pays great attention to military law. He will not be harsh on you just because Xu is not a confidant, but will strictly abide by military law. Whatever military law is, he is willing to abide by it.
Finally, Liu Bei is a person who respects life.
If you die in battle, he will spend money to send someone to send your body, all relics, and pensions back to your hometown, and hand them over to your family in person. If you have no family, Liu Bei will personally host your funeral. You are buried.
He will never let you become a lonely ghost. He will never let your death be meaningless, as light as duckweed. He will definitely let you die well.
Liu Bei's persistence had been met with a lot of doubts and incomprehensions, but all doubts and incomprehensions disappeared without a trace at this moment.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and Liu Bei's recruitment order were placed there, and the professional or semi-professional rangers of the Three Rivers Land were the first to be moved.
Those who had fought under Liu Bei and experienced Liu Bei's way of leading troops came to join Liu Bei one after another. They felt that Liu Bei was their ideal superior and the only way for them to obtain military glory and benefits.
Those knight-errants who had never fought with Liu Bei were also impressed by Liu Bei's reputation and future, and came to Liu Bei's recruiting camp to sign up to join the army, hoping to gain fame and fortune.
What if I can get ahead?
When fighting with other people, you may not be able to get a reward even if you behead ten people. Officers at all levels are exploiting each other, and the life of a big-headed soldier is terrible.
But when fighting with Liu Bei, one is one, and two is two. Rewards and military pay are given directly to the soldiers. Officers do not participate in this process, and the interests of the soldiers are protected to the maximum extent.
How could these guys who joined the army and worked hard for money not be willing to follow Liu Bei?
Following Liu Bei is the most serious thing to do.
Following others is just a waste of time.
In addition to the rangers, a large number of farmers in the Three Rivers Land who felt that farming was too hard also came over and wanted to join the army.
They heard that Liu Bei's military camp was responsible for three meals a day. They could eat three meals a day, and they would feel full every time. They would never go hungry.
This is a great temptation for them.
These farmers' children often have multiple laborers at home and multiple mouths to eat. The family does not have enough land and food to eat. They have no choice but to suffer from hunger frequently.
Now that they heard that Liu Bei's military camp had plenty of food to eat and people would not starve, the family was moved and encouraged their excess labor to join the army, trying to get a good meal in the military camp.
It would be even better if you could get some reward money on top of having a full meal.
In addition to these serious residents of the Three Rivers Land, there were also many refugees who had heard about Liu Bei's recruitment of soldiers. They learned that Liu Bei's recruitment of soldiers was not restricted by household registration and they were responsible for providing adequate food, so they hurried over to beg for food as soldiers. Just want to have a full meal.
Most of them were farmers who had been implicated in the Taiping Dao uprising and lost their homes. They had no choice but to flee to the Three Rivers Land in search of food. They were struggling on the edge of life and death, which was very miserable.
He had nowhere to go, but when he heard that Liu Bei was recruiting troops, he rushed over immediately.
