My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 65 Golden Bullet Offensive (I can’t think of an excuse, so I’ll just update it~)

With Zhang Xin as an example.

The recruitment this time went very smoothly.

Before noon, all the 100 positions had been recruited.

These young people who successfully joined the caravan were all Lu Yi’s neighbors, and it could even be said that they were friends who grew up together naked.

Therefore, their loyalty to Lu Yi is naturally much higher than that of the first sixty Renxia who joined.

We are all family members. If you do evil things and do something disloyal and unjust, your reputation will soon be ruined in the underworld.

Once your reputation is ruined, a series of things will follow, such as being despised, excluded, and even deliberately targeted by neighbors.

Even if I don’t torture your entire family to death, I will make sure that you can’t survive on this land.

Apart from anything else, their family is right next to Lu Yi's, which means they are almost under Lu Yi's control. The cost of betrayal is much higher than those heroes whose families are far away from Jiuyuanli.

However, regarding this point, Lu Yi will start making arrangements immediately after settling these guys.

Therefore, as long as they were not petty thieves, were in good health, had no hidden diseases, and were of appropriate age, Lu Yi would accept anyone and his standards were very lenient.

In just one morning, Lu Yi quickly recruited all 100 people.

After all, the people of Bingzhou have lived in the border areas for a long time, their customs are tough, and they live together with the Southern Xiongnu people, so everyone knows some riding and shooting skills.

Moreover, martial arts and physical fitness can be cultivated, but the natural high loyalty of these fellow villagers is not so easy to obtain.

However, the martial arts of these young and strong men in Jiuyuan are far inferior to those of the first batch of heroes.

The reason why Lu Yi wanted to recruit these people, besides because of their loyalty, was actually to create a check and balance, and to balance the proportion of chivalrous men among his subordinates.

Although he only plans to recruit 200 people this time, it is the prototype of the future power. Many of them will inevitably make contributions because they joined early and thus hold high positions in the future.

Although Lu Yi was the number one hero in Bingzhou and his appeal to them was unquestionable, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng and others had also been in the Bingzhou hero circle for many years and had a certain reputation. Many of the first batch of sixty people were recruited by them, including some of their supporters.

Therefore, Lu Yi, who was cautious by nature, would rather cause some trouble than plant any hidden dangers in his own power.

As I said, the best way to avoid a bad thing is not to give it the chance to happen!

"Sixiao, I watched you grow up too, you can't be partial to me and leave behind the brother who used to follow you around naked every day."

However, there were also people who were rejected by Lu Yi because they were too young.

"Aunt, my little brother is still too young now. Don't worry, as long as he grows up a few years, as long as my family business is still intact, I will definitely take him in!"

In this regard, Lu Yi could only endure his temper and comfort them one by one.

Fortunately, these neighbors were not rude or unreasonable people. After hearing what happened, they could only hide their regret in their hearts and went home dejectedly with their children.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system.

Five families form a group, and ten families form a group.

There are a hundred houses in one mile and a pavilion in every ten miles.

There were no more than a hundred households in Jiuyuan, and no more than a hundred young and strong men. Lu Yi's move could be regarded as catching all the young and strong men in Jiuyuan in one fell swoop.

Faced with Lu Yi's recruitment, these people gave up farming and flocked to join Lu Yi's caravan.

After working hard for a year, one mu of land can only produce two or three dan of grain, and one dan of grain is worth only 200 coins.

A family relied on a dozen acres of land, and not only had to defend against the invasion of the Xianbei and Xiongnu, but also had to fight natural disasters and deal with corrupt officials. It was not easy to survive all year round, let alone save money. In Lu Yi's caravan, even the lowest-level guys were paid 600 coins a month, and this was the price for food and accommodation.

If you perform well, you will receive a bonus and subsidies for going out of the border.

Therefore, everyone was vying to be the first, fearing that they would not be chosen by Lu Yi.

After Gao Shun registered all these people and asked them to sign as proof, Lu Yi personally handed the resettlement money to each person in turn.

This time he came from Zhang's Fortress and urgently sold a hundred healthy horses in Mayi for 20,000 coins, earning a full 2 ​​million coins in advance, so he was still very wealthy.

After receiving the money, everyone happily returned home with their families, planning where to buy some cheap food in case of emergency.

Lu Yi also gave them a dozen days' vacation so that they could sort out their family affairs and reunite with their families before leaving for the border.

Only Zhang Xin was stopped by Lu Yi.

"Brother Zhang, please stay!"

"Think...what does the boss want to tell me?" Zhang Xin was about to act like an elder brother, but when he saw Lu Bu glaring at him, he was frightened. He swallowed fearfully and quickly changed his words.

Contrary to what Zhang Xun heard, he saw with his own eyes that Lu Bu single-handedly defeated a hundred Hu cavalrymen. In front of such a fierce man, he dared not speak in a slick way.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, it's a good thing!" Lu Yi stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulder, showing an intimate smile.

"Brother Zhang is not only the local boss of Jiuyuan Pavilion, but your father is also the head of Jiuyuan Village. I wonder if you are familiar with the terrain around here and the officialdom of Jiuyuan County?"

"Hmm...?" Zhang Xin was stunned when he heard this, not knowing what Lu Yi meant.

……

Day two.

Early March should be a time of spring.

However, Lu Yi, along with Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Cheng Lian, searched around Jiuyuan Pavilion in the biting cold wind for a suitable place to serve as the foundation of Luwu.

Under the influence of the Little Ice Age, the climate in the northern border of the Han Dynasty was extremely abnormal. Not only did the temperature drop dramatically, but the rainfall also decreased year by year, and there were consecutive years of severe drought. It can even be said that this was the biggest driving force behind the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In addition to Zhang Xin, who was stopped by Lu Yi yesterday, there was also a middle-aged scholar in casual clothes accompanying him.

Han system.

A county with more than 10,000 households shall have a county magistrate with a rank of 1,00

For counties with less than 10,000 households, there is a county magistrate, the highest of which is 400 dan in rank, and the lowest is 300 dan in rank.

There will also be one deputy official and several lieutenants. If the chief official is a county magistrate, his rank will be 400 dan, and if the chief official is a county chief, his rank will be 200 dan.

The county magistrate was in charge of documents, warehouses and prisons, while the county lieutenant was in charge of public security.

This middle-aged scholar named Huang Huan is the adjutant of the Jiuyuan County magistrate and the Jiuyuan County Magistrate.

Whether Lu Yi was buying land to build a fort or buying fields or reclaiming wasteland, he had to go through this person.

Yesterday, after Lu Yi stopped Zhang Xin, he got in touch with this person through the connections of his father, Zhang Sou, the head of Jiuyuanli.

So, after a happy family dinner, Lu Yi launched a golden bullet offensive, spending a huge sum of money, a full million yuan to successfully bring down this man and all the officials in Jiuyuan County behind him.
