Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 190 Don't Worry About Money
Various rumors from the outside world made Qin Guan more and more magical.

Many people in Xiongzhou now believe that Qin Guan is the reincarnation of an immortal, and also knows how to cultivate immortals. The king of Xiong'an County has now been accepted by Qin Guan and worshiped under Qin Guan's sect.

Qin Guan also heard these rumors, but he didn't explain anything.

He is busy with Xiongzhou affairs now.

The Xiongzhou government office has posted a notice to recruit Xiangjun from among the refugees. Anyone can be between 40 and 1.6 years old, and their physical condition must meet the requirements, at least over [-] meters.

Yes, that is 1.6 meters.

The living conditions in ancient times were poor, and people who were 1.6 meters tall were considered to be of medium stature.

Qin Guan's standard at the beginning was to expand the Xiongzhou Xiang army to 1 people. If there are not enough refugees, the scope can be expanded, and even ordinary people can be recruited. However, Qin Guan's decision was opposed by Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's reason was that he couldn't afford it.

"My lord, the military system of the Great Zhao State, the Xiang army has one capital for every 100 people, the horse army is the military envoy, the deputy soldier horse envoy, the infantry army is the capital head, and the deputy capital head. There is a commander every 5, and there are commanders and deputy commanders. Envoys", 5 commanders formed an army, and set up guerrilla generals.Further up is the 5th Army as one side. "

"Now our Xiangzhou Army in Xiongzhou has only one army establishment. The guerrilla general Hu Yuanfa, although he told his superiors that he has a strength of 2500 people, but because he is dissatisfied with the formation, in fact we only have more than 1700 Xiangjun troops in Xiongzhou, and many of them are scattered in various places, such as warehouses. Capital, Ferry Capital, Shaogong Capital, Miscellaneous Work Capital, etc.”

The Xiang Army is not actually an army, but a group of armed and organized handymen with no combat effectiveness at all. The last time we went to encircle and suppress the Xiongan County King, it was not easy to get together 600 Xiang Army.

Xu Qing continued: "As for the reason for dissatisfaction with the personnel, the main reason is that we cannot afford to support them. Sir, recruiting refugees into the Xiang army requires a large investment in equipment, and also requires a large amount of expenses every month, including food and wages. It is stipulated that each Xiang army should be given three Wens of money for service every day."

"If your lord recruits 1 Xiang troops, then the annual service money for the soldiers of the Xiang army will exceed [-] guan, and our Xiongzhou's annual tax is only more than [-] guan."

"Although we have a sum of money in our hands now, the money will always be spent. How will these Xiangjun support them? We can't continue to sell the land. Even if we sell the land, we may not meet such wealthy merchants as last time. "

Xu Qing calculated based on the current situation in Xiongzhou. His worries were indeed correct, but in Qin Guan's mind, more than 1 pens a year was really nothing to him. Thousands of hands, it is simply too cost-effective.

He firmly believed in one sentence, more people are more powerful, more people can do things better, especially in this ancient times, this is simply the existence of truth.

He would rather spend more money now than have no one available when something happens, besides, he really doesn't care about the money.

Qin Guan nodded with a smile, put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Xu Qing: "Xu Tongpan, I know your worries, but I can give you a guarantee that the money for raising Xiangjun will never come from taxes. Come out and see how it goes."

Xu Qing was taken aback for a moment, if it didn't come from the tax, where did it come from? Could it be possible to change it by exhaling fairy air.

"Then how does your lord support the army?" Xu Qing asked doubtfully.

Qin Guan laughed and said, "Actually, there are many places in this world where you can get money. As long as you have a pair of discerning eyes, you don't have to worry about money."

Xu Qing thought for a while, and then asked: "There is really no tax."

Qin Guan shook his head, "No need."

"My lord can find some money." Xu Qing asked again.

Qin Guan nodded, "No problem at all."

Xu Qing suddenly said: "I absolutely support your decision, my lord!"

"Since my lord has a way to make money, why don't we recruit more people."

Qin Guan was taken aback by Xu Qing's words.

This rhythm has become too fast.

Just now I was blocked by all means, but now I hear that there is no need to pay taxes, and people will be added in a blink of an eye.

Xu Qing didn't wait for Qin Guan to speak, and said on his own: "I want to form the Xiang Army for the safety of Xiongzhou, just like the last time when the Liao Kingdom invaded our state, we didn't even have the manpower to organize the retreat of the people. No, we defended the city later, and we only had more than 1000 people standing on the city wall. If the Liao army really attacked the city, we would not even have the strength to protect Xiongzhou."

"Since your lord has a way to support the army, let's recruit more people, at least to fill in the vacancies in Hu Yuanfa's army, and then let these people be responsible for miscellaneous tasks. As for the 1 people, they can be dedicated As a sergeant, how do you see it?"

"Even if we can't gather a complete set of weapons and equipment for the time being, let's each send out a long gun first, and then we will slowly figure out a way."

Qin Guan smiled.

It seems that Xu Tongpan didn't want to recruit people, but he was afraid that he couldn't afford it.

Now with Qin Guan, he wants someone more than Qin Guan.

"Xu Tongpan, I'll leave it to you to recruit Xiang Jun. I can tell you a word. I can raise as many as you can recruit. Don't worry about money. I'll figure out a way." Qin Guandao.

The smile on Xu Tongpan's face was stronger than that of Qin Guan: "If you really can not worry about money, then I have nothing to fear. Other things can be left to me."

Then they discussed the resettlement of the rest of the refugees. The Xiang army only recruited the young and strong, and their family members, the old, the young, women and children had to be resettled, and the number of this group was even larger.

Qin Guandao: "My idea is to form a labor team for those who do not meet the requirements of the Xiang army. They can build roads and cities to make a living, but there is no rush to build roads and cities. The first thing they have to do is Build a house."

"I'm going to use the funds from the government to select a suitable place in the city to build a row of houses to accommodate the family members of the Xiang army and refugees."

Xu Tongpan frowned and said, "The place is easy to find. We have reserved some land, but the investment in building the house is not small."

It's money again.

Qin Guandao: "This money is not spent in vain. First, it can stabilize the morale of the Xiang army. Second, it can accommodate old and young women and children. Third, this money can be recovered."

Xu Qing was puzzled: "Are you saying that the house is repaired and sold to those refugees, but they have no money?"

"Can I mortgage repayment if I don't have money?" Qin Guan asked.

Xu Qing didn't know why, and asked, "What is a mortgage?"

Qin Guan explained: "To put it simply, it means paying a rent every month. After a few years, the house will belong to him. Our government office is considered a mortgage, but I don't plan to make money, and I even plan to subsidize part of it. .”

Xu Qing thought for a while, and his eyes lit up, "I understand, this method is good, my lord, just leave this matter to me."

But then, Xu Qing frowned again and said: "I estimate that it will only take two months to build these houses, but what should these people do for a living? We don't need to build much now in Xiongzhou."

Qin Guandao: "I have already arranged for them the future work."

Xu Qing hurriedly asked, "What work?"

"Do you still remember the wealthy businessman who bought Xiulong Mountain?" Qin Guan said.

"Naturally remember."

Xu Qing was afraid that he would never forget that person for the rest of his life.

"The man came to see me yesterday and said that he hoped to build the road from Xiongzhou City to Xiulong Mountain. I calculated that the road is about 16 miles long, and the road with two cars parallel left him [-] guan. , More refunds and less compensation."

"And maybe in the future, stone roads in the mountains will be built. Is this enough for those people to work for a year or two?"

Xu Qing laughed again, "Enough is enough."
