    According to Xu Kan's idea, setting up county soldiers is very simple. Just set up a military camp, the county government will recruit more soldiers and hand them over to Lu Yuanpeng, provide enough weapons and armor, and then train them diligently.  But after listening to Lu Yuanpeng's request, Xu Kan not only felt a big headache.  Lu Yuanpeng's intention was to recruit sixteen more soldiers, plus the two sent by Chunsui, for a total of eighteen soldiers. Adding him, Xue Ou, Wang Sui, Dong Zhu, Gong Shixi, and Lu Ta, the total was nine.  Sixteen people formed two tuns of soldiers, each with four shi.  Lu Yuanpeng's arrangement is more secure than Xu Kan and Xiao He's method.  No matter from any angle, there is no reason to criticize Lu Yuanpeng for these two villages that are short of staff.  Not only did Junsui not mobilize more than 50 soldiers, Xu Kan and Lu Yuanpeng also did not organize more than 50 county soldiers without authorization.  Xu Kan, who was eager to suppress the bandits, felt that the troops in these two villages were few. Hearing that Lu Yuanpeng wanted to subtract two more troops from the troops in these two villages, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.  Still under Lu Yuanpeng¡¯s explanation, Xu Kan also felt that what Lu Yuanpeng said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement with great reluctance.  Xiao He agreed very much with Lu Yuanpeng being so cautious. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In Xiao He's mind, Lu Yuanpeng's weight is a little heavier.  " Just make more pawns, but Lv Yuanpeng still has a lot of things to pay attention to.  According to Qin law, those with a fourth-level title or below, that is, a person with a title that does not change, will not only serve one month of corvee service every year, but also one year of military service in their lifetime.  But Lu Yuanpeng required that the soldiers recruited by Xu Kan must serve in his Liangtun County soldiers for more than ten years.  Lu Yuanpeng's reason is very simple. He has few soldiers. If he wants to be able to destroy bandits, he must train an elite army that can equal ten to one.  An elite soldier must not only be skilled in individual martial arts, but also be skilled in coordination among soldiers.  If the soldiers are replaced every month like ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers with less than a hundred people are used to exterminate the bandits, not only will they not be able to do it, but they will probably be wiped out by the bandits.  Xu Kan agrees with what Lu Yuanpeng said, but who is so stupid that he is willing to hang out among swords and halberds for ten years?  Although there are many people who are forced by life to do corvee service for the children of the rich, it requires a payment of money.  Generally, the salary is 30 yuan per month in the hometown. If you serve in the military, the salary is 400 yuan per year in the county. If you leave the county, it will be 600 yuan per year.  This money is enough for them to support their family.  However, even so, no one would do this uninterruptedly for more than ten years.  What's more, this is not ordinary corvee service, this is serving as a county soldier. You have to fight with bandits with swords and halberds, and you may even lose your life.  At this time, not only the Qin army, but also all the armies in the world were the same. During their service, except for weapons, armor and necessary food supplies, they would not receive any compensation. Any injuries or deaths in battle were their own business, without any pension.  However, after hearing Lu Yuanpeng¡¯s conditions, although Xu Kan agreed with Lu Yuanpeng¡¯s method, he felt that Lu Yuanpeng was still too young and his method was simply not feasible.  The conditions offered by Lu Yuanpeng were very generous.  All the soldiers who are willing to join Lu Yuanpeng's two Tunjun soldiers will not only get the same monthly salary as if they were serving for others, but also 60 ant noses. The corps leader will get 80 ant noses, and the length is 100.  If you can become a village leader, you can still get 200 ant noses every month.  If you are injured in combat, Lu Yuanpeng will not only pay for the medical expenses, but also provide additional subsidies.  A slight injury of 100 ant noses, a serious injury of 200 ant noses, and a one-time payment of 500 to 1,000 ant noses for disability.  If you die in battle, you will be given 2,000 ant noses to your family.  If the family does not have land, Lu Yuanpeng can also help introduce land farming.  This kind of treatment is quite good. Each soldier can earn more than 700 ant noses a year, which is even more than the average farmer who rents land can earn in a year.  The people in Peixian County are fierce and unwilling to engage in farming. They like young men who are brave and fierce. Under such favorable conditions, there will not be a few people who are willing to join the army.  Without waiting for Xu Kan's response, Lu Yuanpeng added: "In addition, I have more than a hundred strong horses, and Peng intends to lend them to the county soldiers to practice riding and archery. Therefore, a horse farm needs to be built near the military camp. I also ask the county official to help me with this land."  Although the conditions offered by Lu Yuanpeng were good, Xu Kan's face had already changed color after a rough calculation.  Xu Kan said in embarrassment: "If we follow the example of my nephew, one corps of soldiers will cost 320 ants per month. One tenth is 740. Sixteen corps will cost 5920. Counting the two village chiefs and the chief secretary, it will be 6080 ants."  No. "Even if we don't kill the bandits, this alone will cost us seventy-two thousand dollars a year. If we include the cost of food for a year, it will be a hundred thousand dollars a year." "And your more than one hundred horses."  Since the horses are borrowed by the county soldiers, they have to pay a fee. And the horse materials are probably more than 200,000 yuan a year." Xu Kan became more and more excited.??A fat face has turned slightly red.  "Since we want to exterminate the bandits, how can we not die? But my nephew is born with a kind heart, and he has to pay a pension! In this way, the cost of these one hundred soldiers in a year is no less than 400,000 ant noses. This little guy  How can Xiaopei County afford it?" Xu Kan couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.  Xiao He on the side was also surprised, looking at Lu Yuanpeng and thinking: "I didn't expect that Lu Yuanpeng was a man who could spend money. Before the county soldiers were formed, he opened his mouth." "As everyone knows, there are so many asking prices.  "Where is Xu Kan capable?" Xiao He was thinking about how to help Lu Yuanpeng explain, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuanpeng laughed easily.  "According to the calculation of the county magistrate, more than a hundred soldiers have food for a year, but the county magistrate only gives him one thousand and two dollars. I am afraid that he will not be able to eat meat a few times a year. According to Peng, if more than a hundred soldiers want to become elite soldiers, they must train diligently.  "In this way, the soldiers are physically exhausted and must eat meat every day. The food consumption should be more than 30,000 yuan per year." "And the two troops from Xiang County must also eat meat every day."  Where are the county soldiers here?  You must know that even in the capable Qin army, there are soldiers with third-level titles, and their daily food is only a dou of polished rice, half a liter of sauce, and a plate of vegetable soup.  Are you, Lu Yuanpeng, with more than a hundred soldiers, all of them military princes?  The more Xu Kan heard, the angrier he became. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to use Lu Yuanpeng to kill the bandits, he would have started fighting the crime.  Seeing that Xu Kan's face was getting darker and darker, Xiao He was so anxious that he repeatedly signaled with his eyes, asking Lu Yuanpeng not to irritate Xu Kan anymore.  Lu Yuanpeng just ignored Xiao He's reminder and said with a faint smile: "Although the amount of money is large, the county magistrate doesn't have to worry." Lu Yuanpeng's words made Xu Kan almost jump up.  You, the lion, are asking for such a large sum of money, and you still want me not to worry?  Just when Xu Kan was furious and ready to walk away, Lu Yuanpeng said nonchalantly.  "Except for the annual food expenses of 30,000 ants for the soldiers in the two tuns, all other expenses are borne by Peng from his own family finances, and no more money from the county magistrate is required."
