When she was investigating the private soldiers of the Nanzezhou family in July, Zhao Yanhuan was not idle either. She started recruiting soldiers.
The people recruited this time will not appear in the name of guards. They will be her soldiers guarding Nanzezhou from now on and will not be disbanded, so Zhao Yanhuan chose carefully.
Zhao Yanhuan was already the Lord of Nanze and was qualified to recruit troops for himself, so Zhao Yanhuan did not hide and recruit people secretly this time, but directly issued notices in Qipai Village and Yi'an Prefecture to promote the recruitment of troops.
Originally, according to the rules, Zhao Yanhuan was the Lord of Nanze and could only recruit troops in Nanze Continent. But who made Dong Guan Zhao Yanhuan's backer? No one dared to interfere with her recruiting troops that did not follow the rules.
However, Qipai Village is the base camp. Afraid that those who stayed in Qipai Village would be dissatisfied with his neglect, Zhao Yanhuan took the time to rush back to Qipai Village to recruit troops in person.
Of course, Zhao Yanhuan's trip to Qipai Village, in addition to recruiting troops, also involved the most important thing, which was to remove the county magistrate Gai Xiong and promote one of his own to be the county magistrate.
But Gai Xiong is a smart man. Ever since the news came that Zhao Yanhuan became Nan Zejun, Gai Xiong has returned all the money he made from the silver frost charcoal business with Zhao Yanhuan.
At first, Zhao Yanhuan had no choice. He hardly made much money from the silver frost charcoal business he did with Gai Xiong. At that time, Gai Xiong could keep his subordinates at ease, but now Gai Xiong doesn't have the guts to continue doing this business with Zhao Yanhuan.
Not only did he not dare to continue cooperating with Zhao Yanhuan in the silver frost charcoal business, he even did not dare to hinder the business network he had developed.
Zhao Yanhuan now has a wide range of business routes, and he doesn't care much about Gai Xiong's business network.
On the day Zhao Yanhuan arrived in Qipai Village, Gai Xiong came to meet Zhao Yanhuan in person and sent several large cars of heavy gifts.
When he saw Zhao Yanhuan, Gai Xiong behaved very humbly and paid homage: "Your Majesty, Gai Xiong pays homage to Lord Nanze."
Zhao Yanhuan helped Gai Xiong up and said in a very friendly manner: "Please get up, Magistrate Gai. You and I are already so familiar, so there is no need to be so polite."
Gai Xiong stood up and said, "I am here. In addition to paying homage to Mr. Nanze, I also sent you some small gifts. Please be sure to accept Mr. Nanze."
Zhao Yanhuan waved his hand to bring Gai Xiong a gift, and said to Gai Xiong: "Magistrate Gai has taken great care of me in the past, and I will remember it. When I come back this time, I intend to recommend Magistrate Gai to be a colleague of this state." Know."
Gai Xiong knew that Zhao Yanhuan recommended him as Tongzhi in order to replace him as the county magistrate with one of his own, but what did it matter? He was promoted!
Zhao Yanhuan and Gai Xiong had a good relationship before they met each other. Although Zhao Yanhuan looked down on Gai Xiong for being greedy and exploiting people, Gai Xiong was still obedient and well-behaved when he was given enough benefits. Zhao Yanhuan didn't mind living peacefully with him first. .
Gai Xiong was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He kept thanking Zhao Yanhuan: "Thank you Mr. Nanze for the promotion. From now on, whenever Mr. Nanze gives you orders, I will do my best to serve you."
Zhao Yanhuan said calmly: "We can continue to cooperate in the Yin Shuang Tan business. I will give you the recipe, and you can make and sell it yourself."
"When the time comes, we will divide the accounts between six and four. I will be six and you will be four. After you become a Tongzhi, remember not to exploit the people. Yin Shuang Tan's business is enough for you to earn."
Zhao Yanhuan continued to do the silver frost charcoal business with Gai Xiong. In addition to Gai Xiong's mature business network, it was also because Zhao Yanhuan was too lazy to manage the silver frost charcoal business. She planned to give the silver frost charcoal formula to Gai Xiong, and then she would get six Profit.
Zhao Yanhuan definitely didn't dare to do this before, but now, even if Zhao Yanhuan gave the formula to Gai Xiong, Gai Xiong wouldn't have the guts to be greedy for it.
As expected, Gai Xiong thanked you profusely and expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, Mr. Nanze, I will run this Yinshuang Tan business well and deliver the dividends to you on time."
Gai Xiong was very happy. Not only was he promoted, but the Yinshuang Tan business that he thought he couldn't touch could actually be saved.
Of course, we can't exploit the people, but with Yinshuangtan's huge profits, it doesn't matter if we don't exploit the people. Anyway, the people are poor, and it's extremely difficult to find some money.
Gai Xiong knew that Zhao Yanhuan had not left for his post yet and would have something to do when he returned to Qipai Village, so he said goodbye after a few pleasantries.
As soon as Gai Xiong left, Zhao Yanhuan immediately issued a notice stating that she was recruiting troops. It was fair and above board, and even the remuneration was clearly marked.
Everyone in Qipai Village immediately participated enthusiastically. Zhao Yanhuan was divided into three levels: superior soldiers, first-class soldiers, and low-class soldiers. Private, third class.
The difference in treatment at each level is not small, but because the people in Qipai Village have been with Zhao Yanhuan for the longest time and have the best physical fitness, they are basically first-class soldiers.
It is easiest to recruit soldiers in Qipai Village, because they are basically Zhao Yanhuan's people, and they come on their own initiative without Zhao Yanhuan doing anything.
