Li Xiao's words deeply moved Chen Hailong. As a guy who has been in the military camp since childhood, he knows how much money means to the army. If you want others to sacrifice their lives for you, besides money, you must also have money.

The brotherly loyalty in the early days of starting a business will eventually be replaced by naked interests.

As the boss, he has the glory, but behind the glory there are many hardships. As the boss, he just collects the wealth and then distributes it to the others. If he keeps too little, he will not be able to spend it. If he keeps too much, he will have the reputation of a greedy boss.

.It is easy to say that a bowl of water can be served evenly, but in practice, who would dare to say that a bowl of water can be served evenly?

Every time someone says you are partial, no matter how fair you are, some people will be dissatisfied.

Behind the silver is the sword. Those who obey will be given money, and those who are disobedient will be given a knife. Compassion cannot control the army, and sometimes even a close confidant cannot escape the sword in his neck.

Many famous generals in history led their troops. In fact, to put it bluntly, they only used money and swords.

The knife is in your hand, but you have to look for the money like the boss.

What Chen Hailong hates most is the word money. Many times, he loves money as much as his life. In fact, he is forced to do so by the vampires under him!

If you want to maintain your status as the leader of the world, you need more people and more warships. Without money, you can't do anything.

"Tonight, I, Chen Hailong, am sorry for you. From now on, I, Chen Hailong, will have no problem with you doing business in Shandong. Where is the Governor of Wei in the capital...!"

"Young man, please give me a letter. All you have to do is prepare a generous gift and go to Mr. Cui Chengxiu. Then you can see the Governor!"

"Master Cui, are you Master Cui who is about to take up his duties at the Ministry of War?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Hailong's eyes immediately widened. He knew that Li Xiao had connections in the capital, but he didn't expect such a strong connection. News came from the capital that Cui Chengxiu was about to take up his post as Minister of the Ministry of War. I heard that he was still a popular candidate to be the next Minister of the Ministry of War.

The right-hand man of the Governor Wei Zhongxian never thought that Li Xiao could make him look at him differently with just a note.

This Li Xiao’s energy in the capital must be too great!

In order to make Li Xiao feel at ease, Chen Hailong personally sent Li Xiao out of his mansion. Now he finally understood that this kid was no longer the kid he had met before. Now Li Xiao has experienced ups and downs, and sharp hair has appeared on his head.

Jianjiao. He is no longer a little snake lurking on the island, but has become a dragon, a dragon that can call the wind and rain.

Returning to the ship was a narrow escape, and Li Xiao also wiped his sweat.

"Chen Hailong has taken care of it and won't cause trouble again?" Mao Wenlong saw Li Xiao coming back and came over to ask.

Li Xiao leaned back on the chair, and all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart. If he did anything wrong today, he would be shattered into pieces.

There is nothing we can do about this. Shandong Taiwan is very important. If Pidao wants to replenish its troops, the most convenient place is Shandong. There are a lot of people in North Korea who are willing to come to Pidao to serve as soldiers, but Li Xiao will never want these international mercenaries.

.It’s not a matter of price, it’s just a matter of inner reluctance.

"As long as Chen Hailong is not crazy, there should be no problem. To put it bluntly, everyone comes out for money. You can make money by following us, but what do they have by following Zhao Nanxing?

The fighting in the capital is fierce again, and now Zhao Nanxing and the others are at a disadvantage. They are all smart people, and they are local. They all have their eyes on the capital!

Then Chen Hailong is a good person, he understands the importance of things."

"These bastards are really rich today. Look at today's bets. They won or lost a hundred and ten taels of silver without batting an eyelid. This Chen Hailong is so damn rich!" Ao Canghai lay drunk on the warehouse board. Every time

The first time I went to work with Li Xiao, Li Xiao caught the other party's boss and chatted with him.

Poor Mr. Ao was caught and drunk. They were all a bunch of rough guys who ran into the sea. They drank the wine like water. It would be strange for Ao Canghai not to get drunk when dealing with such a group of guys. Now Mr. Ao misses Bi very much.

He can drink even more!

"Money is Chen Hailong's weakness. Without money, he can't win over the people under him." Li Xiao looked at the flickering candlelight and said quietly.

"People say that you become a sperm when you are old, but you, a cat, have become a sperm at the age of a cat. How can you let others fool around!" Mao Wenlong looked at Li Xiao, who was leaning like mud, and couldn't believe that this was a man who was not even eighteen years old.

years old children.

Early the next morning, Chen Fu arrived at the dock.

"Brother Xiao, you are really amazing! Just yesterday, you really stunned my Marquis." Chen Fu looked at Li Xiao with stars in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, please stop laughing at me. Isn't this all forced on me? Are you here today to help us recruit troops?"

"Yes! I posted the notice yesterday, and the gate of the government office was packed with people at midnight last night. You don't know, you people are quite famous in Denglai.

You don’t owe wages, and you don’t have to work hard. The money you earn in one year can catch up with your family’s income for several years, and you will still receive a pension when you die. Our soldiers in the Ming Dynasty only received a few cents when they died, which is not worth a donkey’s money. You will give us your pension

How much does it cost? Two big scalpers.

If you don't recruit soldiers to break your head, who will recruit soldiers to break your head? Look at what happens when we recruit soldiers. Sometimes we can't recruit at all, and we have to go to the countryside to kidnap. Do you know how to catch strong men? When they are caught in the military camp, they have to let them escape. You

I thought the reason why the new recruits were training on the island was because they were afraid of running away."

"Yes! I can't tell you, have you had breakfast?" Li Xiao pointed to the steamed buns and salted fish on the table and asked someone to serve him a bowl of porridge.

"It happens that I haven't eaten yet, so let me give you a meal." Chen Fu sat down on his seat, picked up the rice porridge and started to drink.

We were talking and laughing while eating. After breakfast, the sun had already risen high.

When Li Xiao led people to the gate of the county government office, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. The front of the county government office had become a sea of ​​people, and there were people everywhere on the treetops and rooftops.

I have never seen so many people in the auditions for The Voice before. Oh my god! Is this my recruiting scene? I am so popular!

"You see! If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a lot! I told you to go around to the back door, but you don't believe me!"

"Let's go!" Old Chen Fu was still chattering, but Li Xiao had already pulled Chen Fu and ran away. Thousands of enthusiastic people were already rushing toward him on the opposite side. If he didn't run faster, he would be trampled to death.

Despite his age, old Chen Fu was still quite agile. He was pulled by Li Xiao, and there were guards behind him. Everyone fled, and when the team returned to the dock, it seemed that they had lost a battle.

"Oh my God, what's going on! If I don't go, I'll be trampled to death." Ao Canghai took a sip of water and said he would never do such a dangerous thing again.

Li Xiao was also a little depressed. He thought the registration scene would be very lively, but he didn't expect it to be so lively.

"Let each county government gather its own people first. Let's divide them into several places, docks, and county offices, and select them together. This will not only be faster, but also divert people." Mao Wenlong suggested.

"Well! I think Master Mao's trick is feasible!"

"That's it, I'm at the dock!" Mr. Ao immediately decided and decided not to go to the county government office again.

"Go to the county government office!" The two old men pointed at Li Xiao together.

"I...!" Li Xiao had no choice in facing these two shameless men.

As expected of a local snake, Chen Fu gave the order to go down. Before noon, 40,000 to 50,000 people arrived at the pier.

"With so many people, how can we deal with this?"

"Didn't Brother Xiao say that? Let them run, keep those who can run away, and shave off those who can't!" Ao Canghai came up with an idea.

"I think it works!" Mao Wenlong agreed.

"I think it's okay!" Chen Fu also agreed.

Then a spectacular scene appeared, tens of thousands of people began to run in circles around the pier. It was unclear what the people looked like, but they could see countless heads moving on the pier.

"Uh...! How do we determine who finished first?" Master Ao suddenly raised a sharp question.

"this……!"

"this……!"

The two old men didn't know what to do and didn't know what to do.

Li Xiao's visit to the yamen was relatively smooth. He was the first to send people to look at them one by one. Those with tattoos were not allowed, and those with fair skin were not allowed. A lot of people passed through these two levels!

While supervising the next procedure, Li Xiao suddenly saw Chen Hailong in the crowd. He quickly handed over the work in his hand to Jiang Chaozong, walked to Chen Hailong and bowed to salute.

"It turns out that the Marquis has arrived."

"Haha! After all, you are so powerful. You can recruit soldiers to create such a big scene." Seeing the scene of Li Xiao recruiting soldiers, Chen Hailong felt a little sour in his heart.

When he recruited troops, there wasn't such a big scene. Even if he recruited them back, he would still have to watch them on the island, otherwise he would just get lost.

It's not like he doesn't pay these new recruits, but what kind of people are his gang. I know clearly in my heart that there is no one who doesn't embezzle military pay.

If military discipline was really strict, I'm afraid there would be no one in my military camp.

"It's all hard work. If you treat them better, they will naturally be grateful. Not only do we give them salaries, but we also give them pensions when they die."

"It's not that I don't want to give it! What a pity...! Hey...!"

Chen Hailong also looked helpless. The foundation was laid in his father's time. What can he do?

Li Xiao took Chen Hailong for a long walk. Chen Hailong was particularly surprised by Li Xiao's selection method. Generally, those who choose brave soldiers are those who like to show off their strength and fight fiercely. Why did Li Xiao choose honest candidates, and also choose them?

Those who don't know the alphabet.

I wanted to put a few people in, but I saw that those guys were among those who were not selected.

There is no way, people who go to the sea all year round have a fishy smell of sea. No matter how hard they wash, they can't be washed away.

"Brother Xiao, how can you select soldiers who can fight like this?" Chen Hailong looked at Li Xiao doubtfully and asked.

"Whether we can fight or not, the Marquis has also seen the results. The Tatars are in our hands, but they can't get any benefits. There is an old saying in our hometown, which is called a black cat and a white cat. If it catches mice, it is a good cat."

"A black cat or a white cat, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat. This is true. The cat that can catch mice is a good cat. You kid, you know a lot at a young age. How did you watch "The Chronicle"

"Xiao Xin Shu"?"

"New Book of Jixiao" is the military training method of General Qi Jiguang and it was regarded as the first military book in the Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiguang's family hereditary commanded the Dengzhou Guards, which is not far from Penglai. Of course Chen Hailong visited the Qi family, and naturally he also had a deep understanding of the Qi family.

I have some understanding of "Jixiao New Book".

Li Xiao couldn't help but look at this warlord with admiration. He didn't expect that this warlord also knew the "New Book of Ji Xiao". The hateful military forum of later generations had instilled all his thoughts. "The New Book of Ji Xiao" was one of them. Of course, this cannot be said.
To be continued...
