002
After leaving the West Park, Lu Qing had an appointment letter in his arms. From now on, he was the Provincial Governor of Youzhou!
However, he was the governor of Youzhou. Although Youzhou was a bitter and cold place, because it was close to the alien races, the people were tough.
The forces that could establish themselves there were all capable. Not to mention others, just that Gongsun Zan alone, he was afraid that he would not be able to obtain his support.
However, Lu Qing was prepared for this. He turned around and went to the General's Estate.
In the end, Lu Qing managed to obtain 3,000 soldiers from General He Jin through some operations and some modern crafts.
In fact, the so-called 3,000 elite soldiers were just 3,000 new recruits. However, Lu Qing did not mind because he could easily reach Youzhou with these 3,000 soldiers.
'As long as I arrive at Youzhou Province, I will be able to deal with the rest easily.'
In the camp outside the city, Lu Qing saw his 3,000 soldiers. Looking at the sallow and emaciated soldiers, Lu Qing sighed in his heart.
It seemed that it would take some time to turn it into a powerful soldier. However, this would be his foundation in the future. Lu Qing walked up to the platform and looked at the 3,000 soldiers below.
He had to admit that this feeling was intoxicating. This was something that he could not feel in the modern world. After all, he was an ordinary person in the modern world. What right did he have to stand above these tens of thousands of people?
"Soldiers, I am the new governor of Youzhou. You are my personal guards and will follow me to Youzhou.”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, the soldiers discussed animatedly. Although they had known about it before, they could not help but feel worried.
After all, they were all new recruits from the surrounding areas, and their families were all around Luoyang. Now that they were far away from their hometown and were going to Youzhou, which was bitterly cold, it was inevitable that they were worried.
However, Lu Qing had clearly realized this long ago. He immediately waved his hand, and a few strong men carried boxes of things over.
After Lu Qing had just arrived in this era, he had done a lot of preparatory work. For example, he had exchanged modern crafts for a lot of gold and silver.
This was the difference between the times. He could find a 3D printing factory and print all kinds of flamboyant carvings. In this era, it was unimaginable. It was easy to earn some money.
"Open them all!"
Lu Qing shouted in a deep voice and opened all the boxes. Suddenly, golden light shot out in all directions, and all the soldiers present were stunned.
That was because the chest was filled with dazzling gold!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the annual income of the common people was around eight thousand wen.
Converted to silver, it was about eight taels! In other words, the annual income of many commoners was only eight taels of silver!
One tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver! The gold in front of him was specially made by someone from Liu Qing. Each gold cake was about ten taels!
In other words, this golden pancake was equivalent to 100 taels of silver, or 100,000 wen! It was equivalent to ten years of income for an ordinary citizen!
"Soldiers, I will not mistreat anyone who is loyal to me. Now, I will make a promise. Whether you are willing to go to Youzhou or not, you can choose.”
"As long as you're willing to go, you can take ten taels of gold from here. Consider it your settling allowance. You can leave it for your relatives to build a house or subsidize food and clothing.”
"In the future, if you follow me, even if you are a big soldier, you can receive a monthly salary of two taels of silver.”
As soon as he said that, the entire place was in an uproar. Everyone looked at Lu Qing in disbelief.
"Lord, Lord, is this true?”
In the end, a soldier couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice.
Lu Qing looked at the soldier and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you willing?"
The soldier thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded.
Lu Qing laughed out loud and threw out a golden pancake. The soldier quickly caught it.
"Hiss! It's true, it's actually true!"
The soldiers went crazy. Why did they join the army? Wasn't it because he couldn't live anymore?
Now that he could get so much money, even if he died in battle outside, his parents, elders, wives, and children would have a chance to survive.
All the soldiers were excited and pledged their loyalty to Lu Qing.
The people of this era were ignorant, but at the same time, they were easy to control. They could be fed and clothed, and if they were treated well, they could make these people risk their lives for them.
Lu Qing really didn't care about some gold and silver.
In the future, if he became stronger, he could dig up many of the overseas mountains of gold and silver at will. Therefore, Lu Qing never cared about money.
In the end, the 3,000 soldiers all looked at Lu Qing with fanaticism. Their words were equivalent to ten taels of gold in their pockets, enough to feed their families for ten years! This sum of money was simply too much!
Not to mention now, even in the next thousands of years, no ruler would give such a large amount of money.
"Oh right, you will have three days to return home. If you can pull ten people over within three days! Then this official will make him a commander. If you pull a hundred people, this official will make him a hundred general!”
"And in my army, the position determines the treatment. Ordinary soldiers receive two taels a month, and if they are older, they receive four taels a month!”
The moment he said this, the soldiers immediately became excited.
