When they returned to the official office, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji had been waiting for a long time.

The two of them had already visited the emperor. The process was very simple. The emperor had just given a few words of advice and condolences, and nothing else was done. Therefore, the time they spent in the Forbidden City was relatively short. This time, Su Tiancheng also went to the Forbidden City. I wonder if he could set out and return to Jiangning County.

As for the commendation of Jiangning Camp, it was not so fast. The court's efficiency was still clear. After verifying the credit, it would take at least about a month before the commendation would be given. The key is that the commendation involves silver. The court is so difficult that the Ministry of Revenue is always petty in doing things, and it is not that simple to take out the money.

"Mr. Sun, Lord Lu, I have some things to do in Northern Zhili. I cannot go to Jiangning County with the two adults. However, I have already arranged everything. The county magistrate of Jiangning County Lu Tianming, the head of Bo Qu Qingze, will welcome the two adults, and the families of the two adults can also be properly placed."

"Oh, Lord Su stayed in the stable, what else should I do?"

Sun Chengzong is old, and from the perspective of caring for his younger generations, it is not harmful to ask questions.

Su Tiancheng was a little embarrassed. Jiangning Camp recruited soldiers, and he was planning to focus on Baoding Prefecture. Baoding Prefecture was closest to the stable. Through this observation, he found that the living conditions of the people in Baoding Prefecture were very bad. If conditions were issued, they would definitely be able to recruit soldiers.

But this matter was said. I wonder what Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanjihui think about it, and whether they agree.

Seeing Su Tiancheng was a little embarrassed. Lu Shanji spoke.

"Mr. Su, Lord Sun also asked casually. If you feel embarrassed, don't say it."

Sun Chengzong also nodded. After all, Su Tiancheng had just returned from the Forbidden City, and if he had accepted any confidential tasks, it would be difficult to say it. Even if it was dispatched by Jiangning Camp, it was a big deal. It was impossible for the court to say it before the news was announced. The two of them had been in the court for many years, and they still had this basic quality.

Su Tiancheng couldn't stop speaking.

The two adults will soon know about recruiting sergeants. If they hide it themselves and the two adults will know it later, they will definitely feel uncomfortable. People say that it is the law of human nature.

"It's not a secret matter, my younger brother thought about recruiting some soldiers in Northern Zhili and entering Jiangning Camp."

"So this is the matter, that's a good thing. I don't know how Lord Su arranged it."

Looking at Sun Chengzong, Su Tiancheng was really impressed. This is just asking the bottom line.

"The younger generation plans to recruit 10,000 people in the county under Baoding Prefecture and enter Jiangning Camp."

Su Tiancheng just finished speaking, when Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji stood up at the same time.

Sun Chengzong was a little excited, walked two steps back and forth, and spoke quickly.

"Mr. Su, I can help you with this matter. I will recruit you in Gaoyang County and Dingxing County, especially in Dingxing County. The popularity of Jiangning Camp should be well-known. Besides, it is much more difficult to recruit soldiers if you don't rely on me to rely on me to reap good luck."

If Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji help, it would be much easier to recruit sergeants this time, but the two adults are very old, and recruiting sergeants is not an easy task. If you continue to trouble the two adults, Su Tiancheng couldn't bear it.

"The two adults worked hard all the way and had to rush to Jiangning County. The younger generation still found the government and asked them to help and handle the recruitment of soldiers."

"Mr. Su, don't say such things. Although I am older, I am very energetic. You have seen it all the way. There is absolutely no problem. Jiangning camp recruits soldiers, which is a big deal. I must participate, otherwise it will be unreasonable."

As Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Lu Shanji also spoke. Just as Sun Chengzong was concerned, he was determined to participate in the recruitment of soldiers.

Su Tiancheng just nodded and agreed, but the families of the two adults still had to set out in advance and directly pour Jiangning County. It was really unnecessary for them to stay in the stable.

Seeing Su Tiancheng agreeing, Sun Chengzong thought for a while and began to ask questions.

"Mr. Su, Shanji and I have to be clear about some problems. You should know about the issue. You are also sure that ten thousand soldiers are not a small number. It is unlikely that they will be limited to Gaoyang County and Dingxing County. I don't know what the starting point is when you recruit soldiers in Baoding Prefecture."

"I have seen some situations along the way. The county under Baoding Prefecture suffered a lot of disasters. After that, the attack and harassment of Jin, life is unsustainable. If Jiangning Camp wants to grow and grow, it is necessary to recruit soldiers. The treatment of soldiers in Jiangning Camp is very good. If one family enters Jiangning Camp, at least the life of the whole family can be guaranteed, which can solve the problem of ten thousand families."

"Men in the north are generally taller and have good physical fitness. After a period of training, they must be good."

Sun Chengzong's expression became a little serious.

"Yes, the situation in Dingxing County is indeed not good, including Gaoyang County, not very good. However, there are still many military households in the county. From this perspective, recruiting sergeants is difficult, let alone having to leave home and go to Jiangning County. Some families may not be able to accept such a situation. Lord Su considered the suffering of the people. This is a good thing, but the court has great difficulties. Can the Jiangning Camp recruit so many soldiers? "

"This is not a problem. All the expenses of Jiangning Camp are under the responsibility of Jiangning County and the court did not allocate one or two silver taels. The emperor has already said that the government has not had much silver in stock and cannot allocate military pay."

Sun Chengzong shook his head a little sadly.

In his opinion, no matter how prosperous Jiangning County is, it still has a lot of difficulties to bear the expenses of Jiangning Camp. The world-rich Suzhou Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture pay so much tax every year. If they are required to support 20,000 soldiers, they will probably be able to bear it, but they cannot bear it for a long time.

"The two adults didn't know the situation in Jiangning Camp, and they might be a little worried. The monthly salary of the soldiers in Jiangning Camp was five taels of silver, and they were all paid in full on time. Their main task was to train and fight, and they almost did not participate in other things. Their living expenses were all responsible for the military camp. In other words, the salary received by the soldiers could be used to support their families."

"Mr. Su, this is unlikely. In this way, Jiangning Camp recruited 10,000 soldiers, plus the original soldiers, nearly 20,000. Just the salary is more than one million taels a year. With the expenses in life, wouldn't it be more than one million taels? Where did so much money come from?"

"The reason why the two adults and younger generations asked to establish the Zhongxing Society is to consider these issues. It should be said that the problem is not too big at the moment."

Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji looked at each other. This incident was too shocking.

"It's amazing. Jiangning County has such a great courage. Well, since that's the case, these ten thousand soldiers will be recruited in Gaoyang County and Dingxing County. There is absolutely no problem. Lord Su, if you can trust me and keep this matter to us."

"I absolutely trust the two adults, but I have to participate in the recruitment of soldiers. The matters are complicated and the specific contact matters of Jiangning Camp can be specifically responsible for the soldiers. The time is also very tight. Ten thousand people must be recruited within one month."

"Okay, okay, one month is enough. With such conditions, I can guarantee that ten thousand soldiers can be recruited in about half a month."

Su Tiancheng has never said in detail about the standards for recruiting sergeants. Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji will not neglect them. They believe that if they have such good treatment, they must recruit young and strong people, and they must have strict requirements for good health, height and weight. Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng does not have so many requirements.

The conditions given by Su Tiancheng are the first, age, over 18 years old and under 40 years old. This must be strictly required, the second is that there is no physical disability, and the third is that those with strong physical fitness are given priority.

It is best to recruit soldiers in villages and towns, not in county towns.

It is best not to recruit rogues, but veterans are determined not to be resolutely.

This recruitment method is somewhat similar to that of the Qi family army, but the requirements are slightly lower.

This was considered in detail by Su Tiancheng. The north has suffered disasters for many years, and there are many hungry people, and many people have joined the bandits. The young people who stayed in the county cannot be so good in their health. They cannot even eat enough to eat, and their health cannot be particularly strong. Besides, the gap in the sergeant can be made up. After arriving in Jiangning Camp, with good dietary protection, their health will be improved soon.

As for whether to recruit soldiers from the garrison, Su Tiancheng was vaguely gone, and Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji also understood that such conditions must be from military households. In any case, some garrisons were in name only and there were not many soldiers. Since last year, the court has distributed a lot of military pay, and some military pay has entered the officer's pocket. As long as there is silver, the officer will turn a blind eye and leave after the military households leave. The land is just taken back and rented out, and you can get some silver.

Besides, military households have certain basic qualities after all, and it is much easier to train.
