"Sir, we have recruited a total of sixteen people this time. Including the original ones, our total strength is less than fifty people. Are you sure you want to do this?”
In a plain looking county magistrate's manor, which looked like a good house, the county captain looked anxiously at the young county magistrate sitting in his seat.
The county magistrate's name was Xiao Rang, and he was originally the son of a landlord. His family was on the decline. After his parents died of illness, he knew that he could not keep his family business. However, he caught up with the good opportunity when the court was selling official positions, so he sold all his family property and bought a county magistrate of a small border county.
Gaoxian County was a small border county with a population of less than five thousand.
A small county with a population of less than 10,000 should actually be called the county head. Everyone addressed him as the county magistrate out of respect and pride.
On the first day of Xiao Rang's appointment, he was possessed by a soul from the 21st century. Therefore, the official position that he bought became the wedding dress of people with the same name as him in the 21st century.
It had been a month since he came to this world, and Xiao Rang had basically figured out this world.
Year 183, June.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was an era where heroes rose up, talents emerged in large numbers, and beauties were as common as clouds.
He had thought that he had come to this world to take in underlings, bubble chicks, and act pretentious when he had nothing to do.
However, after understanding this world, Xiao Rang realized that this was not the case at all.
Because he couldn't even handle the people under his rule.
The trust the commoners had in the government was almost zero. Not only that, but many commoners also hated the government. This brought great difficulties to his governance.
In a whole month, only sixteen people were recruited!
His position as a county magistrate was quite sad.
Not only that, but his subordinates also acted against him. No one looked up to him, an official who had been bought with money.
Therefore, many of Xiao Rang's orders could not be issued, and everyone was more perfunctory.
The biggest problem was poverty!
And the kind that was so poor!
The officials had not received their salaries for three months. Without money, how could they support the army?
Therefore, including the 16 newly recruited people and the county captain himself, the county government only had 47 soldiers in total.
Many a time, Xiao Rang felt so pitiful that he almost cried.
However, he was a young man with ambition and dared to accept the challenge of fate.
At the very least, after a month of hard work, everyone, including the county captain and the thirty soldiers, was completely devoted to him.
"What else can we do? Are we going to watch the barbarians rob the common people once a month like a woman's good friend?”Facing the county captain's question, Xiao Rang sighed bitterly.
He also wanted to be a salted fish, but his strength did not allow it.
The barbarians were getting more and more outrageous. In the past, they would come once a month, but after he took office, they actually came several times a month.
He was clearly bullying her.
If he did not take some measures, he might be stripped of his position as the county magistrate one day.
Moreover, he needed to win a battle to regain the lost hearts of the people!
A man who didn't work hard was just like a woman who didn't put on makeup when she went out. They were both very ugly.
The county captain couldn't help but laugh when Xiao Rang compared the barbarians to a woman's good friends.
After sensing the magistrate's determination, he did not try to persuade him any further. Instead, he looked at Xiao Rang with admiration in his eyes.
Which man didn't have some hot blood in his body?
"Let's go, take me to see the new recruits.”Xiao Rang put down the pen in his hand and stood up.
He had been sitting for two hours. If he did not get up and move, his bones would fall apart.
"Yes." County Captain Xu Hui responded and led the way.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the military camp in the county town.
The camp was not big, but it was still empty.
When the two of them arrived, a more senior officer was leading the newly recruited sixteen people to do some basic training.
"Magistrate, you're here." When the officer saw Xiao Rang, he quickly came over to greet him.
His name was Zhao Datou. Half a month ago, his mother was seriously ill. It was Xiao Rang who used his savings to buy medicine for his mother. From then on, he and his men were loyal to Xiao Rang.
Xu Hui followed Xiao Rang purely out of admiration and admiration. Big Head Zhao and the others were grateful.
"Sir, can soldiers really fill their stomachs?”A skinny young man asked.
These 16 people were all emaciated and malnourished.
The reason why they joined the army was because they were starving to death and came to the military camp to make a living.
Can you fill your stomach?
For a person in the future, this was a question that was between laughter and tears.
However, the current season was very grim.
Every year, thousands of people would starve to death.
"I'll eat until I'm full." Xiao Rang nodded seriously." As long as you're willing to follow me, everyone can live a good life!”
However, the persuasiveness of this sentence was very limited. No one had an expectant expression on their faces.
Every official would say this, but their days were as hard as ever.
They were already numb.
Xiao Rang didn't stay in the camp for long after meeting them.
Xu Hui sent him to the camp gate.
"Let everyone train well. They only have three days left.”Xiao Rang paused at the entrance of the camp.
Hearing this, Xu Hui's body trembled slightly." Really? You're not going to consider it?"”
Xiao Rang shook his head firmly." We don't have time. If you don't succeed, you'll die."
After saying that, he left the camp without looking back.
