After the soul exchange, the powerful minister gave birth to twins for me

Chapter 70
Even before Mo Zhiyuan formally dealt with the city lord, the city lord had already been thrown into a mess.

Mo Zhiyuan sat on top with a cold expression.

"He Wuwei, this general has already investigated your private crimes thoroughly."

"You bought and sold wantonly for your own self-interest, sent the middle-aged men in the city to the battlefield, caused countless families to fall apart, and held a banquet with the intention of murdering this general. There is every piece of iron proof."

"This general is going to deal with you according to the law in front of all the people in the city today, come here, first punish a hundred people!"

The city lord heard that the rod was responsible for one hundred struggles, he knew that this one hundred would be death or injury, "Let me go, let me go!"

"Mo Zhiyuan, what are you so proud of? Your own death is approaching. Don't think I'm scaremongering."

"So what, at least you die first." Mo Zhiyuan didn't take the words of the city lord to heart, he knew what the city lord was referring to.

He said to the people who were discussing and watching: "Everyone, this general here promises that there will never be any incidents of buying and selling soldiers in the future. Young and middle-aged men in the city who are willing to serve as soldiers can enthusiastically sign up, starting tomorrow. "

"Okay!" There was a burst of applause from below, and some even clapped their hands.

The stick thicker than a human arm hit the city lord, making a muffled sound, and everyone felt very happy.

On the second day after disposing of the city lord, Mo Zhiyuan thought that there would be many young and middle-aged people willing to sign up for the border guards, but who knew that only a few people came, not even a fraction of the number of people Mo Zhiyuan expected.

Mo Zhiyuan couldn't help worrying, why there were still no young and middle-aged people willing to join the army.

In the morning, even ten were not recruited.

Seeing him frowning after eating, Liu Ruyun couldn't help asking, "Why, I didn't recruit anyone."

Mo Zhiyuan nodded, reached out to take the bowl of soup that Chunshu handed him, and took a sip.

"I thought that after the city lord was dealt with, the phenomenon of people's unwillingness to serve as soldiers would improve, but I didn't expect that after a whole morning of hard work, I only recruited a few people, which is better than nothing. Tell me, where is the problem. "

Liu Ruyun also took a sip from the soup bowl, today's soup was clear and sweet to moisten the throat, it was delicious.

"Since the underlying reasons have been resolved, these people are still unwilling to serve as soldiers. I think the most important reason should be the issue of treatment."

"You mean that the salary is not high enough?" Mo Zhiyuan personally drafted the salary, which is already quite good compared to the soldiers in the capital.

Liu Ruyun reminded Mo Zhiyuan.

"To compare, it's not the comparison of the treatment of soldiers in the capital. The weather in the capital is suitable, the environment is good, and there are many people, but the border is different, and the guards in the border town are guarding their heads. The border town is a place of right and wrong. It is easy to start a war, so we must be vigilant at all times."

"As long as there is no large-scale war in the country, those soldiers in the capital basically only practice in the barracks. How can this be the same."

Mo Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, and felt that what Liu Ruyun said was reasonable, and it seemed that the salary should be raised appropriately.

"You mean that the salary should be further improved before someone will come."

Liu Ruyun nodded, "By the way, I have another suggestion."

"You said."

"I think the location of the City Lord's Mansion is good, and the area is wide. Now that the City Lord has fallen, if the City Lord's Mansion is closed, it will only be empty there. It's a pity that it is a treasured land of geomantic omen."

"It's better not to put a seal on it, and directly convert the city lord's mansion into a residence for the soldiers of the border city. Anyone who is willing to live in can be arranged to live in it. This can solve a big problem in their hearts. I believe that more people will apply."

Liu Ruyun thought very comprehensively, there must be young and middle-aged people in the city who can't eat, or are struggling on the line of food and clothing. Once they become soldiers, they have housing and money, so why not do it.

If we want to solve the problem of these people's unwillingness to serve as soldiers, we have to put our lives on the ground and think for them.

Mo Zhiyuan finally accepted Liu Ruyun's suggestion.

Sure enough, as soon as the new benefits were announced, many young and middle-aged people were immediately excited, and some young and middle-aged people came to apply one after another.

Mo Zhiyuan selected those with qualified physical fitness and recorded their names in the roster.

He said to the young recruits standing in a square team: "From now on, you are recruits, don't go back on your word, now follow me to the martial arts arena."

"Yes!" The newly recruited young and middle-aged recruits were still full of vigor, and Mo Zhiyuan led the recruits to the martial arts arena in a mighty manner.

Liu Ruyun was not idle, she found Xu Yisuan.

Xu Yisuan smiled, "Madam, what else do you want to tell me?"

Liu Ruyun gave him some more money, "Use this money to get close to beggars in the streets and alleys of this city."

"Why." Xu Yi was puzzled, but still took the money.

"After you made friends with them, the inside and outside of the words spread the great achievements of the general in the capital. In short, everything should be good, do you understand?"

"I understand." Xu Yisuan has always been a transparent person. When he patted his head lightly, the soles of his feet would make a sound. He naturally understood what Liu Ruyun meant.

Soon, Xu Yisuan used the money to treat the beggars to eat sesame seed cakes and give them cotton clothes for the winter, so as to get closer to them, and then began to chat.

In his words, Xu Yisuan intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to the beggars the meritorious service of General Zhen Guo in the capital, portraying Mo Zhiyuan as a unique savior, and also mentioned that after Mo Zhiyuan recruited young and middle-aged soldiers, he personally took them to Yanwu In field training, the style is strict and meticulous.

Soon, the beggars spread the news that Xu Yisuan had revealed, and almost half of the people in the city knew about it.

After they heard that Mo Zhiyuan personally led the troops to practice, they could feel that Mo Zhiyuan was different from the previous mercenary and greedy city lord, and they all started discussing in the teahouse and tavern.

"Recently, I heard that General Zhen Guo is personally training the recruits he recruited."

"Really, but the Martial Arts Field has been abandoned for a long time, can it still be used now?"

"It can be used, of course it can be used. I passed by and went to see the Martial Arts Field. It has already been tidied up and looked brand new. You can still hear the whistle of recruits practicing inside. It can be fake."

"Tell me, how long has it been since our city has trained soldiers and horses like this? Fortunately, we have been lucky in the past few years and have not encountered foreign invasions. If there were foreign enemies, even those scattered soldiers would not Knowing how long it can withstand, it seems that General Zhen Guo is here, it is indeed a good thing."

……

Under Xu Yisuan's deliberate dissemination, the rumors gradually turned to the good side.

More and more people heard the rumors, and everyone read the notice and learned that the recruits were treated very well this time, so many people were moved and encouraged the young and middle-aged at home to apply.

In just a few days, the number of young and middle-aged people who came to apply for the job increased, and soon the number Mo Zhiyuan expected was recruited, and the crisis was quietly resolved.
