In the yamen of the Censorate, Zhu Dadian looked at the silver box sent by Liu Jun.

"Sir, a total of 10,000 taels." The two servants carefully counted and returned.

Zhu Dadian picked up the letter he sent with the silver, opened it and looked at it, and it said that it was the 7,000 taels of military pay that he had paid to the governor. It was 7,000 taels, and now he has sent 10,000 taels.

"Dongweng, this Liu Jun seems to be quite sensible." The master smiled. Liu Jun was aggressive before, but now he turned around and actually gave him three thousand taels of silver.

"This King of Yan Liu." Zhu Dadian put down the letter and shook his head, not understanding Liu Jun. As soon as he met, he first acted as a domineering general, but now he sent another 3,000 taels of silver.

"What is King Liu doing recently?" When Zhu Dadian thinks of Liu Jun's heads as soon as he entered Yunyang, he cut hundreds of officers' heads in a short time, and he couldn't help but have a toothache. The nickname of King Yan that Liu Jun obtained when he suppressed bandits in Sichuan became Zhu Dadian's commonly used title for Liu Jun.

"Liu Jun practices his mark every day these days. Before dawn, the soldiers of the Nine-Headed Bird get up and run, tie a sandbag on their feet, carry guns, and then fire guns in the north of the city in the morning, which is earth-shaking. In the afternoon, the formation practices are still not calm at night, and then they continue to study culture. In short, they are like this every day, from morning to night, and they are struggling. Those Chu soldiers are also durable, and there is no one who is dissatisfied." The master reported in amazement.

Zhu Dadian also sent people to watch Liu Jun's actions every day, and he knew all these things. "Liu Jun is indeed good at training soldiers. Other soldiers are very good at fighting every three or five days, but his nine-headed bird has to be trained eight times a day. However, Liu Jun has a way to make money. His soldiers eat well. It is said that they eat four meals a day. In addition to lunch and dinner, there are breakfast and late-night snacks. It is said that they also have big fish, meat, fresh fruits and vegetables every meal. The salary is also rich, and the training is good. Liu Jun gave up the book." Speaking of this, Zhu Dadian also admired Liu Jun very much.

"Then Liu Jun sent people to search the property of the former Yunyang officials and generals. It is said that they had no less than 400,000 or 500,000 silver dollars."

"Forty or five hundred thousand is not enough, but there are definitely two or three hundred thousand."

Liu Jun was still very quick. He decided to make up the Yunyang army and quickly confiscated their homes. All the property and property were confiscated, and he got a lot of money.

"This Liu Jun got 200,000 to 300,000, but only gave 3,000 taels to Futai." Just now, I felt that Liu Jun's sensible master was dissatisfied. The difference between 300,000 and 3,000 taels was still too much.

Zhu Dadian's face turned a little ugly when his master said this. This Liu Jun always made him unhappy.

At the school ground outside the city, Liu Jun was paying money to the layoffs of Yunyang soldiers.

Boxes of cash silver were placed on the ground, and the money came from the property of the confiscated officers. After selling it, it was exchanged for 300,000 cash silver. Liu Jun used a portion of it to pay owed money and severance to the Yunyang soldiers.

"Li You, the first bureau of the left flag team of the front left flag in the Yunyang reinforcement camp," a nine-headed soldier shouted loudly.

Li You, a soldier in Yunyang, stepped forward a few steps forward to the table with a nervous look on his face. He bent down and showed a flattering smile on his face, nodding to the nine-headed bird officer behind the table, "The youngest is Li You."

The officer behind the table said with a serious expression.

Li You handed over his waist card. After the officer checked, he said, "Where is your boss and colleagues, you need three people to guarantee it."

"It's right behind, I'll call you right away." Li You trotted back and called his own flag, the sergeant commander, and a three guarantor with the soldiers. After checking their waist cards, the officer nodded.

"Li You. According to the order of the Marquis, you are now giving you a reissue of three taels of silver for two months, plus a total of five taels of silver that have been deducted in the past, plus a severance fee of two taels of silver. A total of ten taels of silver."

After saying that, a nine-headed soldier next to him took out a handful of silver coins from the silver box on one side. It was not an ordinary silver ingot, but a silver coins, some of which looked like copper coins, but there was no hole in the middle. It was slightly larger than copper coins.

The soldier put the silver coins in his hand on the silver scale on the table, swung it for a while, and finally it showed that it was ten taels.

"This is" Li You asked in a low voice.

"This is a silver coin, each weighs half a tael, containing 97% of the silver. This is for more convenient use. Look at the silver, there are patterns on both sides of the front and back, and there are tooth patterns on the sides, which can better prevent counterfeiting and prevent people from grinding. There will be no need to weigh and cut them every time when using it."

Li You took it and there were twenty silver coins, bright light. On the front of the silver coins was a nine-headed phoenix spreading its wings, on the back was the pattern of the Great Wall, and on both sides there were a circle of characters. On the front, it said that every two coins were one tael of silver, but on the contrary, it was cast and issued by the nine-headed bird, with tooth patterns around it.

Exquisite, Li You held this silver coin and felt the words were exquisite, with such clear and beautiful patterns. He was originally a little suspicious of the composition of this silver, but now when he saw the appearance of this silver coin, he felt that it would not be fake. To make such a counterfeit coin, it would be a bit higher, and if it was fake, they would immediately know that there was no need for Zhennan Hou to do this. If he didn't want to give money, he would just not give it.

Holding twenty silver coins, Li You was very happy and grateful to Zhennanhou. Not only did he get the two-month salary he owed, but he even got the salary he had deducted before, and even paid two taels of severance.

"Next"

Li You let him go aside, held the silver coins tightly, looked back at the nine-headed bird's flag. Unfortunately, the nine-headed bird didn't want them. I heard that the nine-headed bird was better, so I would get five liang of Anjia silver when I joined, and the monthly salary was also high.

On that day, Liu Jun distributed all the owed wages and severance expenses of more than 5,000 old Yunyang soldiers, and used about 40,000 taels of silver. However, Liu Jun was not worried. After all, he sold more than 300,000 taels of silver from the officers. Moreover, if the money was distributed, no one of the laid-off soldiers made trouble. They got the money and went back happily.

Li You took the money and made an appointment with a few soldiers from the same guard to buy something, buy some food, then pull some cloth for his wife, and buy some pine nuts for his children. As soon as he walked to the city gate, he saw a big flag hut there, recruiting soldiers.

"Brother Li, why did you build a recruiting flag?"

Li You was also a little confused. He had just been cut off by Marshal Liu, but there was a flag of recruiting troops here. What was the problem?

They were still wondering, and one of them came over there.

"Hey, brothers, you are all Yunyang soldiers who have just been cut off."

Li You nodded a few times.

"Brothers, I'm planning to go home."

"I was laid off, what else can I do if I don't go home?" said a companion next to Li You. "But fortunately I met a great man like Shuai Shuai. After laying off, I gave us a owed salary, and I paid the severance fee."

"What are you doing after you get rid of the severance? How about you going to continue to serve as a soldier and eat food?"

"Who is recruiting soldiers?" Li You asked in confusion.

"The Lord Futai recruits soldiers, and they are recruiting brothers from Fubiao Camp. As long as they join our Fubiao Camp, they will follow Zhu Futai to have a delicious and spicy meal."

When they heard that it was Futai's recruitment, Li You and the others were very moved. They were all from the Yunyang Governor General Camp who was transferred from Yunyang Guard. Now they have been removed from the Yunyang Guard, so they can only return to Yunyang Guard. But they know what the situation in Yunyang Guard is. Even if they are the officers of the garrison, they can't get a few taels of silver a year. More so, even their wives and children cannot raise enough.

"How much does the monthly salary in Fubiao Camp" asked Li You.

"The monthly salary is one or two taels, plus six dou of monthly food. The conditions and benefits are absolutely generous. You can't find a second one."

"It is said that Marie Liu can get two taels per month." Li You's companion whispered.

As soon as this was said, the man immediately became unhappy, "You can go there, but if the Nine-Headed Bird wants you, let's talk about it again. The Nine-Headed Bird is not everyone's two taels, and there is only one tael in the new camp."

"I am willing to work with Master Futai." Li You made up his mind that one tael of silver per month plus six dou of monthly grain, as long as you can get it, the conditions are already very good.

"Okay, what's your name? What's your position in which camp you are doing, and what kind of martial arts are good at?" The recruiter asked happily, "Come here to register."

After a while, Li You and his friends registered and passed the assessment, becoming a soldier of the Bian Battalion of the Governor of Yunyang. Li You was even temporarily appointed as the twelve-man team leader.

After Li You became the team leader, he received the first task and asked him to recruit the rest of the team members.

"Hey, why don't you give me any money to the family?" Li You's companion Wang Gui was also appointed as a team general, and the other brothers were appointed as the sergeant. They were all asked to recruit their own team members from their former teammates.

However, what disappointed them was that after joining Fubiao Camp, they did not have any money to settle down.

"It would be nice to be able to continue to serve in the army and eat food. You still ask for so much. Besides, as long as we recruit a team of people, the team will naturally sit firmly. The team's monthly salary is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Less nonsense, let's recruit people."

The nine-headed bird soon discovered something abnormal. They laid off the severed Yunyang soldiers, took the money out of the schoolyard, and turned around and were called by the governor Zhu Dadian.

When Liu Jun heard the news, he just shook his head, "Let him go, as long as the governor likes it."

In the end, more than 5,000 Yunyang soldiers who were cut off by Liu Jun were recruited by Zhu Dadian into his own Fubiao camp. In addition to recruiting these 5,000 old Yunyang soldiers, Zhu Dadian continued to recruit soldiers with flags and continuously recruiting strong young people from nearby to join the army. Soon, Zhu Dadian recruited four battalions.

Zhu Dadian finally recruited 12,000 troops from the Fourth Battalion, which exceeded the 10,000 troops the emperor asked him to train.

In Yunyang City, the original Yunyang soldiers turned into Fubiao Camp. With the sixth battalion soldiers brought by Liu Jun, tenth battalion soldiers were gathered in and outside Yunyang City for a time, more than 30,000 troops were gathered.

After recruiting the fourth camp, Fubiao camp, Zhu Dadian finally felt a little more courageous. He sent troops to Xuanhe, Yingxun, Pingli and Gongchen, and then sent a message to Liu Jun and asked Liu Jun to move his Zhenbiao camp outside the city. To be continued.
