Chapter 68 Recruiting Veterans
The Li family and his party were all in the fun.
After seeing off Chen Guang, Li Shanxing looked at his old wife who came out from behind the screen and said, "Madam, let's marry Mei'er too early, otherwise this Chen Lang would be Mei'er's good match."
Just behind the screen, Li also saw Chen Lang with his own eyes and chatting with his husband, and sighed. This Chen Lang not only has good looks, but also has money.
"Sanlang really wants to recommend the Feng Er?"
"Although Feng Er is lame and ugly, he does have the talent of a prime minister. He is qualified to be the position of the chief minister. What's more, when we return to Chang'an, we should prepare some savings for Qilang."
When Li Shanxing thought of his youngest son, no matter how noble he was, he had to consider his son's future. It was not easy to live in Chang'an. Even if the saint treats officials well and receives rewards from time to time, relying solely on salary is not enough for him to tell his younger son that his family is a good marriage.
Since Feng Changqing was willing to spend money to follow his path, and Chen Lang pleaded with him on behalf of him, he was just a favor, so why should he be a villain before leaving?
A few days later, Chen Guang received the leader of the Yanqi Xingke camp in the Protectorate's Mansion. Now he can recruit 200 soldiers, edit them into a book and report them to the Protectorate's Mansion. He can spend money to buy armor and weapons from the Protectorate's Mansion, and legally own his own troops.
In the sunken garden, the men were as dry as cooked shrimps under the scorching sun, but they still didn't dare to move. The husband handed them over to the old military academy that looked like three evil ghosts, but some people who were not in line with the white-haired ghost's wishes were less punishment and more serious when they were driven away.
Therefore, in the past half a month, although he was trained by the three old military academies every day and had to be insulted by them, the men all endured it.
"Let's rest!"
Chen Mohe finally spoke, and then the men breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their hands and feet in place.
"Prince Chen, please come over."
A soldier came over and said respectfully that the army had always had the final say of who had the biggest fists. When these three old military academies started to fight, they really couldn't beat them, so they all pretended to be grandchildren.
"You guys look at these guys, don't let them be lazy."
He ordered the fang soldiers on the side, and then Chen Mohe and his two companions went to Chen Guang's tent. After half a month of getting along, they were quite satisfied with Chen Guang. The men had three meals a day and had meat every meal, which was enough to withstand their training. Now these men finally had a few soldiers they recognized.
"Please sit for three."
"I don't know what's wrong with you looking for us?"
After Chen Mohe and the others sat down, they asked Chen Guang. Although they scolded the men every day, they already recognized these men in their hearts. Now they just want to pass on all their abilities.
"To be honest, I have obtained a new camp establishment. Now the two hundred battalions are still 100 away. I want to recruit those old soldiers who have been lifted out of the army and returned to the field. I will ask for help from three."
Chen Guang took out the document and showed it to Chen Mohe and the others, and said sincerely.
The Tang Dynasty was in Anxi. In addition to the Han soldiers in four towns, there were also military camps and field troops. For example, in Kucha, in addition to 10,000 Han soldiers, there were nearly 20,000 camps and field troops. They reclaimed wasteland and cultivated farms, and the grain paid to the Protectorate's Palace each year accounts for nearly half of the military rations of the Protectorate's Palace.
The veterans who were unwilling to return to their hometown after they had retired from their families and were unwilling to return to their hometowns were also granted land acres. However, Chen Guang asked Feng Changqing to ask that although the number of military farms in Anxi was huge, there were land annexes everywhere, and there were many veterans in Yancheng who had no livelihood.
"What is Langjun's businessman planning to do?"
Chen Moha had long passed the age of being easily moved. At this age, he had seen too many people and things and had learned not to make a judgment easily. The two companions around him did not say anything because they believed Chen Moha.
"I'm not hiding it from three, this business is just a cover. I'm asking three to come here, but I don't just want to be a coach, but I want to ask three to be the head of a mansion company in the future."
Chen Guang said openly and honestly, and then he explained to Chen and the other two what an escort business was. "In the future, this escort business escorts to Anxi, Hezhong, and must fight with those horse thieves and robbers. When the escort business grows in the future, he will also have to eat in the river..."
Chen Mohe listened quietly, and he could see that the Shen Langjun in front of him was not talking big. He really wanted to make this escort business bigger, and finally spread all over the river and even the country, so as to become the eyes and ears of Anxi Army.
After looking at each other with the two old guys, they both saw each other's decisions, so Chen Mohe nodded and said, "Mr. I admire her. If you want to recruit veterans, you will cover it with someone."
Thinking that when they were alive, they might have the chance to follow this Shen Langjun to expedition to other countries, Chen Mohe and his friends became serious. For them, dying of old age on sickbed was a torture. If they could, they wanted to take their guns and knives while they still had the strength to carry their guns and knives to conquer the enemy country for the Tang Dynasty and die in the border areas, asking for a horse and a corpse.
"Then please ask three."
Chen Guang said in a deep voice that he wanted to recruit veterans, so it was not a generalization. After all, not everyone who had retired from the army and returned to the field was as unwilling to fight on the battlefield like these three old military academies.
After seeing off Chen Mohe and the others, Chen Guang said to Bai Aqiao beside him, "How much money do we have left?"
"Mr. Lang, there are still 30,000 guan left in our account."
Bai Aqiao opened the account book and said that she was not specifically responsible for acting cute and coquettish these days, but learned a lot of things. Chen Guang did not expect that she was quite talented in mathematics. Not only did she immediately accept modern Arabic numerals and mathematical symbols, but memorized the 99 multiplication table much faster than Duanwen. Even the abacus that had just been made by the carpenter in the slaves, it took her several days from learning to mastering.
"Thirty thousand jins are enough."
Chen Guang said to himself that it would be a matter of opening the door to do business in a short while, not to mention that Yancheng is full of people, otherwise Feng Changqing would not have given him the name of Yanqi's camp. Next, when the veterans recruited by Chen Mohe and others arrived, he could prepare to go to Yanqi to find Li Siye.
"If Langjun is short of money, Anni still has a hundred thousand yuan here. Langjun just uses it."
Bai Aqiao looked at Chen Guang's brows and frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say that since Chen Guang handed over all the accounts of Chen Yuan to her, she had completely regarded herself as Chen Yuan's mistress.
"What are you thinking? Is it like a person who is short of money? In a few days, Fanlou will have another investment, and I still need your money."
