Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 108 They Buy Us If They Don't Want It!We are not short of this food!
Regarding the third point of rewards for the soldiers of the guard army, the soldiers of the guard army are different from those recruited from various tribes, they don’t just need to pay money.

This is the regular army of Yunzhou County, and the regular army means that the rewards that the soldiers hope to get are not limited to silver, they also have the desire to promote their own positions.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and every soldier in the guard has an upward heart, so for Yunzhou County, the material rewards for these soldiers are very easy, but for them However, military rewards are still a big problem.

There are only so many positions, one radish and one pit, and the channels for advancement are limited.

Therefore, the big and small officials in Yunzhou County have been arguing for a long time but they can't come up with a specific solution.

Some said to give more money, some said to give land, and some said to give a title, but none of these can solve practical problems.

Because there will be a lot of battles for the guards to fight in the future, you used other tops this time, what about next time?What about next time?
You can't always discount other people's military exploits and let them be the leader forever, right?
The quarrels and quarrels came to no avail. In the end, everyone unanimously looked at Zhao Jun who was sitting at the top.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Zhao Jun sighed helplessly. He didn't know the real problems of these issues, and he was also clear about the real purpose of these people today.

Whether it is the first, third, or fourth issue, there is only one core point involved, and that is the lack of people!
Extremely short of people!
Why can't the army recruit soldiers?
Because no one!

Why is it difficult to transport spring taxes and loot?
Or because there is no one!

Why are the soldiers not promoted after making military exploits?

Apart from where the upper limit of the guards is, the most important thing is the lack of people!
If there are people, then the guard army can be expanded to [-], and the existing soldiers with military exploits can be promoted logically?

Address the first and fourth questions directly.

If there is someone, wouldn't it be enough to organize a huge transport team to transport the huge spring tax spoils back?
So everything is because no one is making trouble.

Yunzhou County lacks people, and it has been short of people since the beginning of its development. At that time, Yunzhou County’s solution was to plunder Tatars from the grasslands outside the border to work as coolies to make up for the lack of population.

But now, all the tribes within thousands of miles outside Yunzhou County have been emptied, not to mention that Yunzhou County can no longer replenish soldiers through this route, even if it can replenish Zhao Jun, it will not unify this act of looting the population continued.

Because the population ratio of Yunzhou County is already on the verge of imbalance.

In Zhao Jun's vision, Yunzhou County should be based on the Song people as the main ethnic group, because he is a Song person and only with his own ethnic group as the main body can he, the prince, rule over Yunzhou County.

Don't say that all races should be treated equally, Zhao Jun likes a saying in his previous life, people who are not my race must have different hearts!
Now that he, the lord, has great strength, those other ethnic groups in Yunzhou County will be honest. If the roles of the two sides are reversed and the gap in strength widens, it is difficult to guarantee that those alien races will not have any unreasonable thoughts.

This point has been mentioned since they plundered the Tatars from the grassland and gradually grew the tribes in the past five years, and they gradually became less obedient than before.

It wasn't until the guard army expanded to 5000 people and defeated the Hegel tribe in the previous battle of Desheng Lake that these patriarchs who had some ideas gathered up their minds and became honest again. This expedition was poisonous. Only then did they send out their men as underlings.

It's just an excuse that they can't afford to be sent to serve as a subordinate army. They are just showing their loyalty to Zhao Jun, a powerful feudal lord.

Now Yunzhou County has a population of 60, of which 35 are Song people and 25 are Yunzhou Tatars. This ratio is very dangerous in Zhao Jun's view.

Therefore, after the end of the five-year development, the tribes were prohibited from going to the grassland to plunder the population.

But the problem of underpopulation still has to be solved. How should we do it?

After knocking on the table, Zhao Jun straightened the loudspeaker in front of him, met everyone's expectant eyes, and said his decision.

"Buy someone!"

Whoa!
Everyone is in an uproar?

Buyer?

how to buy?
where to buy it!

Where can I buy it?
A series of questions appeared in everyone's minds, and before they could ask them, Zhao Jun explained: "According to the information obtained from my investigation, since the severe drought last year, the disaster situation in the entire Liaobei County has not been contained.

Even though the imperial court sent a relief team and supplies, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun's gaze scanned the officials of Yunzhou County who were present here.

And the others also looked around at the officials of Yunzhou County present with half-smile expressions.

This behavior made the officials who were watched feel like they were on their backs, and they felt uncomfortable all over.

Zhao Jun paused, looked back before continuing: "The relief money and supplies have already been divided up by the responsible officials before they reached Liaobei County.

After a tael of silver is allocated, the victims may only have a bowl of rice soup in their hands.

Oh no, it's the kind of rice bran water that is cooked with rice bran, and the rice soup needs to be cooked with rice, and they didn't leave so much. "

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, everyone in the hall except those officials burst into laughter.

Who of you here does not know the virtues of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. It is a strange thing that the disaster relief money can be used for disaster relief when it is in their hands. That is to say, the officials of Yunzhou County today have almost been replaced. Those officials here are no different, which is why everyone looked at them with that strange look just now.

The officials of Yunzhou County who were present here lowered their heads and did not speak. Although they did not do this, they are also scholars, and they feel ashamed!
What these colleagues have done is simply contrary to the teachings of the saints, and the books have been read into the stomachs of dogs!

Zhao Jun pressed his hand, everyone slowly suppressed their laughter, and Zhao Jun continued.

So so far, the entire Liaobei County is still full of disaster victims, not only in Liaobei County, but also in the two or three counties around Liaobei County.

Now that one winter has passed, those people who still had some food in their homes are probably exhausted, and the group of refugees is about to expand again.

This is a big trouble for the court, but it is a big opportunity for us!

Aren't they unable to solve those disaster victims?
Then we all have to come over, just because we are short of people.

And we don’t want it for nothing. Every time a person is transported, we will give ten catties of food to the young and strong, and five catties to children, old people and women, and they will be directly given to the local officials.

Of course, we can provide food, and all the problems that these people need to solve when they go out of the customs until the boundary of our Yunzhou County, such as customs clearance, we have to ask them to help us solve them.

I believe that under the lure of interests that can solve the disaster victims' problems and make money, those greedy guys will definitely make 120 points of effort to complete this transaction.

And we can also exchange a small amount of food for our urgently needed population.

And as long as there are people who can bring back the spring tax from Nanli County, then the food we pay is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning. "

After listening to Zhao Jun's speech, everyone was silent for a while, and then whispered to the person next to him for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

I think this plan is the only and the best solution for the current situation in Yunzhou County.

Yes, they think there are too many people and we are short of people, so just give them to us, and we will give them food, and they will naturally help us deal with various problems that will arise from the court. This is a win-win situation!
Just do it!

Everyone agreed with the plan.

And this will also be the main task of Yunzhou County for a long time to come.
