The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 115 Everyone recruited
Liu Tai took a deep breath. Regarding this plague rescue, he actually rescued these people not only out of humanitarianism.

After all, Liu Tai is more or less overly rational and considers the benefits this matter will bring to him when making decisions.

The first purpose is to verify his control over the Qingzhou area this year.

Can the veterans that I arranged to replace the nobles convey my will and the news that I want to recruit volunteers to the bottom of society?

This has led to my second goal, which is how I feel in the hearts of the local people.

Are the people willing to listen to their call and rescue patients in the neighboring counties? Or is it none of their business?

Liu Tai directly stated that he went there voluntarily this time, without any intention of offering any reward.

But Liu Tai was already prepared and planned to reuse these martyrs who took the initiative to sign up.

After all, he cannot see the talents of the people at the bottom, but Liu Tai believes that these righteous people who are willing to take risks to save others, even if their abilities are insufficient, at least their starting point is good.

Liu Tai believes that ability can be cultivated. After all, grassroots work is far from being able to compete with talent.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, except for those monsters from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who can say that they have reached the limit of their own talents in their lifetime.

Most people think, if I work harder XXX, I will not fail, instead of thinking that even if I work hard for a lifetime, I will not be able to push something to the extreme with my talent.

Therefore, as long as these people have altruistic nature, it is enough, which will give you one more way to select talents.

This altruistic character of sacrificing one's life for others is difficult for ordinary people to possess.

As grassroots leaders, this kind of person is very important in building the relationship between the government and the people.

Of course, the premise is that these people can come back alive, and only then will they be reused to a certain extent.

Therefore, for Liu Tai, it is really important to solve this plague, which can help Liu Tai see the entire Qingzhou clearly.

In fact, apart from war, there is only this kind of catastrophe that will comprehensively test a political system.

If this test can be passed, the entire political system and the people who continue to govern will have a sense of pride from the heart. If it cannot be passed, it will naturally accumulate a sense of failure.

One or two major disasters are neither important nor important, but when a small amount adds up to a large amount, there will inevitably be corresponding effects.

For Liu Tai, the most important thing for him to implement this policy is to win the hearts and minds of the people of Qingzhou.

Let the people of Qingzhou who returned successfully tell their fellow villagers that the current governor Liu Tai is in charge of their life and death.

Soon, Liu Tai's announcement began to spread throughout Qingzhou.

To be honest, the time for these volunteers to gather was quite tight, and some low-level officials even regarded this matter as a showdown.

Occasionally, they began to forcibly drag the strong men in the jurisdiction to act as volunteers who went there voluntarily.

Liu Tai also turned a blind eye to this. After all, what if no one in Qingzhou responded.

By then, it will be a shame for themselves. These people can be considered to have completed their tasks, at least their performance is up to standard.

And Qingzhou recruited volunteers from all over the country to go to the service areas, and the news of going to the plague areas to provide support soon spread.

In fact, the volunteers who went to the epidemic areas were not ordinary people from various villages. After all, they did not even go out to their own villages.

Now I heard that I have to go to such a far place. Unless I am really a person who loves ancient roads, there are really not many people willing to do it.

This news naturally reached Xi Jian's hands, and Xi Jian was a little surprised when he saw the news that Liu Tai actually recruited soldiers.

How long had he been under Liu Tai's rule? Xi Jian himself had become somewhat accustomed to it.

In order to survive, he first came to Taishan County, and happened to meet Qingzhou to allocate fields, and the villagers coerced him to Qingzhou.

However, Xi Jian had no wives and concubines, so he was not assigned any land, and he was not even qualified to cultivate the land himself.

However, because Cao Yi built a new city, it required a lot of labor, especially since Xi Jian was literate and gained the trust of the surrounding villagers. He became a steward under Cao Yi, and his main responsibility was to manage the daily chores of the workers within his jurisdiction.

Everything from the distribution of materials to the management of personnel are all handled by Xi Jian.

Even so, Xi Jian had enough to eat and his two little cubs survived.

After surviving, Xi Jian had a strong desire to return to the Western Jin Dynasty.

Although Xi Jian also saw Liu Tai's recruitment order, Xi Jian had no intention of asking Liu Tai for an official position. Instead, he continued to remain anonymous and planned to wait for an opportunity to leave.

Under such circumstances, Xi Jian suddenly saw that Cao Yi asked the workers who were building the new city to sign up voluntarily and asked if they were willing to go to other counties in Qingzhou to support and rescue the local plague. Xi Jian was stunned, "The imperial court also wants to rescue the epidemic areas." people?"

"Yes!" A team member from the same village as Xi Jian said to Xi Jian, "Sir, you don't know, this news spread among the corvee!
Governor Liu said that volunteers who volunteered to go could sign up to support these plague-ridden counties.

But that was a county where the plague was rampant. If anyone risked his life by going there, there would be no benefit, so why should he go there?

Fortunately, Governor Liu didn't force us to go, so he just pretended that he didn't know the news.Tell me, who would go to that damn place? ? "

"I'll go!" Xi Jian gritted his teeth decisively and said, "I'll go sign up."

When the villagers heard what Xi Jian said, they couldn't help but said to Xi Jian, "Sir, you are really a wise man and a righteous man!"

What Xi Jian really wanted was to see if he could use this opportunity to escape to Sima Rui in the east.

Although Liu Tai seems to be quite benevolent, Liu Tai's benevolence is not for the children of aristocratic families.

Xi Jian stayed with Liu Tai for such a long time and saw with his own eyes Liu Tai's suppression of wealthy families in the Qingzhou area. He also saw that Liu Tai's recruitment order could not recruit many scholars at all.

Therefore, Xi Jian could see that Liu Tai was unpopular among the gentry.

This is why Xi Jian still doesn't think highly of Liu Tai even though he thinks Liu Tai is quite capable of fighting and is quite kind to the people.

How could it be possible in this world to still gain power in the world without relying on the nobles?

However, Xi Jian did not intend to leave, but took the initiative to hand over the wealth he had accumulated in these days to Cao Yi.

He said that he hoped to go to the epidemic area to save the people, but if something happened to him unfortunately, he hoped that the general could take care of his two children at home.

Cao Yi was quite surprised that there was such a virtuous person as Xi Jian in the world. After all, not many of his subordinates could write. Even if Liu Tai forced him to do so, only the village chief or the military historian would force him to learn to write.Because Xi Jian not only knew how to write, but also had good calligraphy, Cao Yi used him in a high position.

Not to mention that Xi Jian himself was praised by the people around him for his treatment of others, and his word-of-mouth spread also attracted Cao Yi's attention.

Of course, because the time was too short, Cao Yi had never examined Xi Jian, let alone recommended him to Liu Tai.

But no matter what, gold will shine, so Xi Jian still stood out.

Cao Yi said, if you really die unfortunately, I will definitely recommend your two children to go to Mongolian School. When they grow up, they will be given priority to enlist in the army and become sergeants.

Xi Jian stayed in Qingzhou, and naturally knew that under Liu Tai's system, entering a school and becoming a sergeant was the best person in the entire Qingzhou system.

Needless to say, even if you want to divide the land, the soldiers will be given priority before the people's turn, and most of the people will cultivate it.

If someone in the common people's family joins the army, they will have land that belongs to the army, not to mention other small subsidies.

So Xi Jian thanked Cao Yi very solemnly, but Xi Jian knew clearly in his heart that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if he could run. Being able to run would naturally be the best, but if there is really no good opportunity, then he would just look for it. .

Of course, there are people like Xi Jian who have different intentions and choose to join the team, and of course there are also a few people who are interested in fame.

Needless to say, Li Nong, who was still just a young man at this moment, took the initiative to sign up after seeing this notice.

Li Nong was a young man who was among the beggar army. No one dared to look down upon him because of his prowess.

The beggar army was defeated. Although Li Nong saved his life, he was captured and sent to a collective farm for reform.

Speaking of transformation, for the vast majority of the beggar army, they can actually have enough to eat and be slaves here. There is no better place in this world than here.

But Li Nong was quite restless. This time he saw the need to support counties affected by the plague and decisively signed up. Compared with the vast majority of beggars who accepted their fate as long as they had enough to eat, he wanted to go to the world outside the collective farm. Take a look.

He was never willing to accept that his future would be to work in this collective farm for the rest of his life.

There are still some beggars like Li Nong who actively signed up, and most of them are young people under the age of 20.

As for the elderly, especially the older people who had managed to survive the Eight Kings Rebellion, most of them chose to continue to stay in this relatively stable world.

After all, after they complete their service, they can choose to continue to survive in this collective farm. At that time, they will still have salt stamps in their hands, which can be used as currency to exchange for supplies.

For them, as long as they can eat well and sleep soundly, this is their new home.

Except for these people, Yangman fell silent for a moment when he saw the news released by Liu Tai.

Compared to others, they didn't have enough vision, so they couldn't detect the meaning of Liu Tai's move.

As Yangman, the top Taiyang family, Yangman could quickly judge that Liu Tai made this announcement because he wanted to test the entire Qingzhou's obedience to him.

Therefore, Yang Man couldn't help but think deeply about this announcement. In Yang Man's view, this was the last chance to get into Liu Tai's core.

To be honest, in Yangman's view, Liu Tai can win battles, can reason, and is willing to be considerate of the people. In any case, he is a pretty good candidate for refuge.

Especially since I personally watched him rise from Taishan County step by step, and then become the current governor of Qingzhou.

If Liu Tai wasn't so hostile to the family, he might have voted for him long ago.

But now that Liu Tai has issued this announcement, Yangman knows very well that Liu Tai intends to gain Qingzhou's heart this time.

If I don't lean towards Liu Tai this time, then the Taiyang clan will continue to be trapped in Mount Tai.

Even if he doesn't move closer to Liu Tai, Liu Tai still doesn't put any pressure on him.Yangman still admires Liu Tai for following the rules.

But Yang Man can clearly feel that Taishan has developed at an extraordinary speed after being controlled by Liu Tai, but the influence of his Taiyang family on Taishan is constantly declining.

Even now, the Taiyang family is still a top family to Liu Tai, but Yangman can already feel the take-off of the entire Qingzhou, and the Taiyang family's lack of opportunity to catch up with this take-off trend.

To be honest, it is very good to be able to keep the lintel of one's family intact in troubled times, but everyone has to be a little greedy.

In particular, a guy named Chu Hui brought his family to Qingzhou and started to cultivate and develop it. Although he was bound to Liu Tai, the momentum of the Chu family's development in Qingzhou was not bad. From this point of view, , Although Liu Tai hates the aristocratic family, he will still accept the aristocratic family.

Yangman had to admit that Chu Hui was indeed a little more discerning than him, which also made Yangman's heart slightly tilted towards Liu Tai.

After all, a year has passed. If only a few wise men such as Chu Hui and Zhang Bin saw Luoyang being captured and Jin Ting strangled last year, the world was once again in chaos. It was even more chaotic than at the end of the Han Dynasty. situation.

After all, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao still held the emperor hostage to control everyone. Everyone had at least a nominally powerful man.

But now, the Xiongnu Han and the remnants of the Jin court are fighting. At the same time, under these two major forces, there are countless forces, large and small, entangled with each other.

Not to mention, the current Jin Dynasty includes Sima Rui, Liu Kun, Wang Jun, Qu Yun, etc., while the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom include Liu Tai, Shi Le, Liu Yao and other princes.

It can be said that the entire world has once again entered a situation of division.

Yangman took a deep breath. Yangman knew that he had to make the final decision.

I didn't choose Liu Tai at the beginning, let alone to rival Chu Hui, but I would definitely have one of Zhang Song and Cao Yi's positions.

If I don't seize the opportunity now, my Taiyang family may be trapped in Taishan County in the future.

After all, the Yang family is under Liu Tai's control. If others want to attack Mount Tai, it will not be easy for Liu Tai's elite army.

Naturally, Liu Tai didn't know that Yang Man had made up his mind after he issued this announcement.

For Liu Tai, seeing the many martyrs who voluntarily signed up gathered in Linzi, Liu Tai asked these people to gather in the square and said:

"Everyone, we will prepare to go to the epidemic area tomorrow. Life and death are uncertain here. Please see your determination clearly before making a decision.

It's still too late to regret now, but when I get to the epidemic area, in order to maintain the stability of the epidemic area, I will enforce military law. If I want to leave by then, it will be too late.

Now if there are those who regret it or are forced to come, I will allow them to withdraw and I will forgive them! "

"Yes!" someone shouted when faced with Liu Tai's words, "I was forced here by our county magistrate!"

Liu Tai raised his brows and thought to himself, who is so brave?
　By the way, it seems that the mission is about to be released. Next month, there will be an additional chapter for the [-]-year pass.
