After occupying the county government, there were still many things to deal with. He arranged some archers to stand guard around the second and third floors to prevent people with different intentions from entering. The fruits of the revolution were hard-won, so it must be maintained well.

Wang Zongwei stood in his room, and he was listening to his words. He sent Lin Meng and others out in the morning, but he has not come back yet. The only person available is Wang Zongwei, so it is okay to let him run errands or something.

"Sir, according to the count, we confiscated nearly 4,000 weapons, 2,000 spears, 1,300 pairs of knives and shields, and more than 700 crossbows, but these crossbows were damaged and could not be used anymore. One thousand sets of iron armor, more than 2,000 sets of civilian clothes, and nearly a hundred war horses."

Long spears and swords and shields are often seen, but there are crossbows here, which surprised Qing Cang.

This crossbow is several times stronger than a bow and arrow, especially a continuous shooting crossbow. The attack power is not increased by a tiny bit. The continuous shooting crossbow, also known as Zhuge Crossbow, was invented by Zhuge Liang. It is still a long time before invention. The crossbow in Wang Zongwei's mouth can only be shot alone, and it is still bad. No wonder they did not use it. Fortunately, it was bad, otherwise they would not have taken the county government so quickly.

When Qing Cang was thinking about how to place these weapons, Wang Zongwei's words interrupted him.

"Sir, I have a little research on weapons. I have loved to dismantle weapons since I was a child. How about letting me manage weapons?"

Wang Zongwei recommended himself like this, which gave Qing Cang an idea.

"Oh? Then I'll give you a task to fix the seven hundred crossbows and improve them so that they can fire several crossbow arrows in succession."

Anyway, these crossbows are also bad, so it is improved on this basis. If possible, it will be a significant improvement for Wang Zongwei to preside over the mass production. The number of people in the war is important, but weapons and equipment are even more important. With good weapons and equipment, if the number of people is equal, most of them will defeat the other side with an overwhelming force.

Wang Zongwei did not expect Qing Cang to agree so simply. He was moved to kneel down quickly, and his joy appeared on his face. This was considered as having their own duties and professionals did professional things. And he didn't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, as long as he did his job well, this kind of beauty was unsuccessful.

He agreed. "Thank you, sir, I will definitely complete the task."

"Very good, if you have anything to do, just mention it. Before improving, you will lead people to divide these weapons and distribute them according to their respective strengths when the new recruits join the army. This arsenal is considered to be managed by you. As for salary, I will redistribute them in two days."

Regardless of whether they are loyal to themselves or not, the military pay must be absolutely fair, without any private matters, and those who make contributions must be rewarded, and those who make mistakes must be punished.

Now the recruits have not yet recruited them. Only when they are recruited can they allocate weapons according to their respective specialties can they maximize their combat power.

"Okay, sir, some of this batch of weapons have been damaged and need to be repaired by the blacksmith."

"You are professional, and all this is arranged by you. I will listen to you. You will go to the account to withdraw some money later. Also, you hand over two thousand sets of common clothes to Cao Chen and let him allocate them to the newly enlisted soldiers."

"yes!"

Before Wang Zongwei could withdraw, noise came from the downstairs. He looked out the window and saw that the county government office had already been full of people. The expressions of these people were full of enthusiasm and were very orderly.

"What's going on?"

Someone will come in and say:

"Report! Hundreds of people coming from the door are going to sign up for the army. Lord Cao is registering."

He thought to himself, someone would have signed up so soon? It was only around ten o'clock. He didn't know that his advertisement played a role. Such huge words must have attracted a large number of people. This spread to ten, ten and hundreds of people, and it spread throughout the county town in less than a few hours.

He wanted to go down and take a look. When he arrived at the door, Cao Chen was standing at the table. Behind him were a few soldiers holding brushes, and they were registering. There were boxes of money piled up beside them, and some common people were also wearing them.

Behind them were a few big characters written in yellow cloth, and the recruitment registration office was written, and their own Chinese-shaped flags were flying high.

Qing Cang looked excited when he saw the people nearby. Most of these people's clothes had several holes torn, and they were hit with patches and then hit.

These people came in line, and a young man stood up. Cao Chen patted his chest and pinched his arms.

"What's the name?"

"Su Neng!"

"Okay, you've been hired! Go and register, get a set of cloth clothes, and add ten yuan to the money!"

"Thank you sir!"

The young man happily arrived at the registration desk to register, and then stood by with his money. There were people standing beside him, about twenty people, each full of energy.

Qing Cang was very pleased that Cao Chen could check this way. Young and middle-aged people are the main combat power of the army. They have good physical fitness and are powerful in killing enemies. If they want some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, they will only waste food and damage their combat power.

"Next!"

Here comes a thin middle-aged man with thin arms and legs. His weight will definitely not exceed 100 kilograms, and his face is a little sallow.

Cao Chen took a look and said before he asked his name: "No, your physical fitness is too weak and cannot meet our recruitment requirements. Go back and eat stronger before coming!"

When the man heard this, he was blinded and he quickly said:

"Sir, my family is poor for three generations and is not full for three meals. How can I eat strong? Although I am thin, I am very powerful. If you don't believe me, you can take a look!"

He walked to a stone pier, which weighed at least 200 kilograms. He shouted loudly, and the blue veins on his neck appeared, and his face turned red.

"rise!"

As soon as he tried his best, he picked up the stone pier. When he picked it up, people immediately heard lively applause. This guy was indeed strong. He picked up something 200 kilograms so easily. If he was to make him stronger, it would be more than that.

"Although I have strength, I'm still too weak and sick."

The man still refused to give up and pulled Cao Chen's corner of his clothes.

"Sir, give me a chance!"

Cao Chen was about to blow him away, but Qing Cang called him.

"Cao Chen! Let him live!"

When Cao Chen heard that it was Qing Cang's voice, he immediately turned around and bowed.

"Yes, sir! Go and register!"

"Thank you, Mr. Qing, thank you."

The man knelt down and kowtowed several times in a row, with a moving expression. Once he joined the army, he would at least not be afraid of being hungry and would receive military pay. Such a good thing is worth it even if he risked his life.

However, most of the people here are interested in Qing Cang's enlightenment. Since he entered the county government, he has never disturbed people. It is very different from the Yellow Turbans and the Han army. Joining them may lead to a career.

When the man passed by, Qing Cang asked casually: "What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Yan Tianhua!"

"Okay, go!"
Chapter completed!
