"General Qin is here."

"Are we going to settle us today?"

"From now on, we will be people of Qiguo."

"It's good to be a citizen of Qiguo, at least you don't have to worry about food all day as in the tribe."

"No, what is more important than being alive?"

The barbarians who surrendered all looked at Qin Fang and the others, and their eyes were full of hope. After surrendering, although they were not displaced, but along the way, from the outbreak of influenza, their hearts were also up and down, and they were very afraid. When sick, Qin Fang will leave them behind. After traveling for more than a month and living in tents here for so long, it has been almost two months. After today, they finally became real Qiguo people.

Qin Fang said: "Everyone, you follow the soldier who registered you yesterday. Your identity document has been completed. From today, you are the common people of Qiguo."

"Long live Qiguo."

"Long live the Qiguo court."

"Long live the Emperor Qiguo."

Qin Fang looked at their relaxed and reassured expressions, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, everyone, let's go. If something happens, you can find the village chief, or your mayor, if they Don't care, you can come to the county seat to find the magistrate, you have to remember that you are the people of Qiguo, and Qiguo 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 who were thanking him with red eyes, Qin Fang felt a different kind of feeling in his heart. more meaningful.

Once, he was a man who worked hard to survive. Later, he was the one who worked hard for the money. And now, for the sake of his responsibility, he has to continue to work hard.

Qin Fang said: "Everyone is welcome, line up the team, and then the mayor will step forward and take away the new citizens of Qiguo who belong to him."

Eighteen mayors: "Yes." They immediately formed a line, and then the mayor at the front stepped forward, Mayor Bai, "My name is Bai Baisen, which soldier captain led Qi Guoxin The people are under my rule, please follow me."

One of the soldiers came out and took his registered thirty-six households: "Mayor Bai, it's me."

Mayor Bai said accommodatingly: "Then would I trouble this soldier to come with us and settle them down?"

The soldier said, "Well. Everyone prepare your luggage and go with me."

The captain of the soldier is Qin Fang's team leader who accepts his fate. Each captain leads a team of ten people, so the captain of the soldier is also called Shichang. The captain of the soldier took his team and escorted the thirty-six households of Qiguo's new citizens to follow Mayor Bai.

Then, the other mayors followed one after another, taking away the new people of Qiguo under their rule.

After the 3,000-odd people of Qiguo's new people had all left, the outside of the county suddenly became empty. Only Qin Fang, Eyeliner Ling and others were left, as well as the two hundred soldiers brought by Qin Fang.

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

The county magistrate Yang hurriedly said: "No, no, everything is arranged by General Qin." The people of his county government were not used to guard the city wall, and Qin Fang took over, and he could not ask for it.

Qin Fang nodded: "That's fine."

The county magistrate Yang said again: "If the general needs the help of our county government, just speak up."

Qin Fang was not polite: "There is indeed a place where you need your help, or in other words, there is a place where you need the help of Lord Yang. The defending force can recruit 1,000 people. I already have 500 people here, and I still have to choose five. 100 people. Therefore, please send the recruitment announcement in the name of the county government, but for those who are selected, each soldier will have a monthly payment of 100 yuan, and the food will be borne by the barracks. Those who are between fifteen and forty years old and are in good health. "

A man of Qiguo ties his hair to become a boy at the age of fifteen, and at the age of twenty he adorns the crown and becomes an adult. Therefore, Qin Fang's required age is fifteen years old or above, and boys who have not yet tied their hair will not be selected. Before the age of fifteen, to the age of thirteen, is the year of the dancing spoon, and the year of the dancing spoon refers to boys.

The county magistrate said, "Yes, I'm going to issue an announcement now." The monthly bill of 100 yuan a month, and still eating, this is good news for the people of Yunxiang County. After all, recruiting troops in the county town is not about marching to the border to fight. Except for the disasters that happen every winter, there is no danger at all.

But this disaster, even if you don't come to recruit troops, you will encounter it. What's more, there are generals defending the city this year, and the situation is different.

Qin Fang has calculated that he still has more than 10,000 silver in the army's salaries, and the soldiers have a supply of 1,000 mu of land, so don't worry. One thousand soldiers, each with a monthly fee of 100 taels, keep one hundred taels of silver a month, and a year is 1,200 taels of silver, and the army salary in his hand can pay for a monthly fee of ten years. Moreover, the imperial court will allocate military salaries every year, so even if it is less, within ten or even fifteen years, he will not have to worry about it.

However, Qin Fang is not a fool.

He is a military general, and he is under the control of the Ministry of War. The boss of the Ministry of War is Du Ke. He wants military pay and a good life for the soldiers. Children are not worried. Isn't this what Mr. Du should take care of?

Therefore, Qin Fang decided to write a letter to Mr. Du about everything here.

Du Ke did not know that he had been entangled.

In fact, Qin Fang did not pester Du Ke. But he knows himself, he has no background, no relationship, no way. Speaking of which, he is the master of the matter here, but he is the real master. Once something happens, he also has to bear all the responsibilities. Qin Fang has a stable personality, of course, he has to find a way back for himself, and this way is Du Ke.

Tell Du Ke all the details of the matter here, if there is something, at least it is not his own decision, he has already reported it to the Minister of War.

Qin Fang thought about it for a while, and then said: "Recruiting troops is one of them, and the second is to repair the city wall in the county. Your county government has prepared what you need to repair the city wall. By the way, there are also a lot of materials for building a military camp. As for The location of the barracks, does Mr. Yang recommend a place?"

"This..." Yang Xian said, "Is there a place in the general's heart?"

Qin Fang said: "Let's go to the eastern suburbs. I heard that there are many wild beasts on the Beast Mountain in the southeast. Every winter, because there are no real objects, they will come down to find prey. As a general defending the city, it is my responsibility to protect the common people. Build the barracks in the eastern suburbs, and the barracks will know as soon as the beasts move."

When the magistrate Yang heard this, he was deeply moved: "Xiaguan replaces the people of Yunxiang County, thank you General."

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

In the next few days, Magistrate Yang led the yamen, and Qin Fang led the soldiers, all of them were completely busy. Building walls, building barracks, recruiting troops, there is nothing that does not cost time and energy.

When Qin Fang was busy, Yang Haiyan finally came to Kunshi and Niu Da.

Kun Shi and Niu Da hired a convoy to transport fruit trees of two acres of land. Eighty percent of the fruit trees on the two acres of land survive, that is, about 80 apple trees and 80 pear trees each. According to the carrying capacity of a cart with twenty fruit trees, a total of eight or two carts were employed this time.

The soldiers repairing the city wall were stunned when they saw the full eight vehicles returning with the fruit trees. When looking at it from a distance, I don't know who it is, and everyone is very cautious. When they got close, the soldiers recognized Kun Shi and Niu Da who were headed by them, and hurriedly waved their hands to say hello.

Tao Shan is now Qin Fang's personal guard, and he supervised the renovation of the city wall. Seeing Kun Shi and the others coming, he happily ran over: "Captain, you are finally back."

Kun Shi said: "No, I finally came back, how are you doing these days? Looking at the situation here, are all the surrendered barbarians settled?"

Tao Shan said: "It's settled, the general said that they will be the new subjects of Qiguo in the future. Like us, they are all people of Qiguo, and they are no longer barbarians."

Kun Shi said: "Yes, yes, they are all from Qiguo. Are you repairing the city wall now?"

Tao Shan: "I brought the yamen and private guards to repair the city wall, and the general took the soldiers to build the barracks. We now have 700 troops, the 200 troops brought from the Yongzhou barracks, plus the new citizens. 300 troops, three hundred have been recruited here in the past few days, and if there are two hundred more, the troops will reach 1,000. By the way, Captain, there are now 30 people in our general's residence..."

Niu Da took people to the General's Mansion, where Kun Shi talked to Tao Shan for a while. After understanding the events of the past few days, Kun Shi said: "I will go to the military camp and report like the general."

Tao Shan: "Hey."

eastern suburbs

From the gate of the county town to the eastern suburbs, it takes less than a cup of tea to ride a horse. Seeing the military camp that has been built, Kun Shi's heart was very touched.

"General." Seeing Qin Fang's figure, Kun Shi shouted loudly while dismounting.

Eight hundred troops build a barracks, which is of course fast. Clay, stone, wood, whatever you need, you can have it ready the same day. To build a military camp, the first thing to build is the observation deck, followed by the soldiers' dormitories, quarters, training grounds, and walls.

Kunshi saw that the four observation towers in the south, east, and northwest were ready, and there were already soldiers standing guard on them. Not only the observation tower, but also the soldiers' camp dormitories were built. I have to say that it is indeed a lot easier to do things when the county government comes forward and the soldiers contribute.

"General." In front of Qin Fang, Kun Shi's tired and dusty face was refreshed.

Qin Fang saw him: "I'm back at last. In the future, the private guards and bodyguards in the house will be managed by you."

Kun Shi stood up straight and said, "Don't worry, General, your subordinates won't let the General down."
