Busy for three days.

Almost everyone in the royal palace helped, and the recruitment of tenant farmers and personal troops was basically over.

However, among these two things, the Tian Shishi was divided, but the recruitment of the personal army was not very ideal.

"Your Highness, the personal army has recruited more than 5,600 people, which is still a large part of the total." Chang Wei was very upset.

Although the people who came to sign up were intermittent, he estimated that at most 8,000 people could be recruited from Yan County.

"It's already good." Zhao Xu shook his head.

The population of Yan County is here, and it is rare to have a strong and powerful person.

The most important thing is that there are 380,000 households in Yan County, and at least 250,000 households have been used by various means by various wealthy families and become their vassals.

These people may yearn for the royal palace, but if they have a contract signed with the wealthy clan, they can only sigh.

"That's all?" Chang Wei was unwilling to give up.

Not to mention the number of troops attacking the Beidi people, it is difficult to suppress the private soldiers of the wealthy clans in Yan County.

"I didn't say that I only recruit people in Yan County." Zhao Xu suddenly smiled, "I will give the remaining troops to me. The most important thing you have now is training troops. This is the guarantee for us to sit firmly in Yan County."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei clasped his fists heavily, as if a firecracker exploded.

Then he raised his head, but his bearded face showed a begging look, "Your Highness, you have soldiers now, but you see these food, clothing, use, and armor and weapons?"

When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little hurt.

What should come, it's still here.

In ancient times, raising soldiers was a big expense for any country or force.

Sometimes half of the country's taxes are even spent on the army.

He can't escape this rule.

The more than 5,000 people in the royal palace's personal army are not simple numbers, but more than 5,000 mouths.

"How much money is needed?" Zhao Xu asked.

"According to the will, the court assigned the Beidaying of Yan County to the royal palace's personal army. The last general went to see it. The armor and weapons in the Daying warehouse were only enough for 1,000 people, and they were all rusty."

Chang Wei was prepared and took out a booklet from his arms and presented it to Zhao Xu with his hands.

Zhao Xu opened and looked at it. Chang Wei listed in detail how much food, how many military uniforms, money and various armor and weapons were needed.

The expenditure this month is about 40,000 taels.

Zhao Xu was worried. One quarter of the posts consumed 40,000 taels per month, but wouldn’t it be 160,000 taels per month?

The money I earned from selling ice making myself will not take a few months.

"Sure enough, the family is big and the business is big, and the expenses are big."

Zhao Xu sighed, and he had to find a way to continue making money.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support his soldiers, and he wouldn't be able to turn over.

He picked up a pen and signed the booklet and stamped the seal.

Zhao Xu said: "Give the armor, weapons and military uniforms to me, and you can go to Qin's account room to withdraw the rest."

"Yes." Chang Wei went happily.

Liu Fu and Zhao Xu stayed together.

Both of them were in the gatehouse in the front yard of the royal palace at this time.

Liu Fu said: "In theory, the armor, weapons and uniforms of the personal guards should be the responsibility of the Yan County Military Affairs Office. However, now the Yan County Government Office is under the control of Zhang Kang, and I am afraid that he will inevitably fill his personal pockets and use inferior products as good ones."

Zhao Xu pointed out, and naturally there is no way to make mistakes on such an important matter.

This can directly affect the combat effectiveness of the royal family's personal army.

And he completely distrusts the current Yan County Government Office.

"Now the government office has basically become a toy for the wealthy family, and it is full of children of the wealthy family. If you use the government office to order Yan County, someone will inevitably interfere, so it is better to start a new job." Zhao Xu said after pondering for a while.

Liu Fu's eyes lit up, and King Yan and him thought of getting together.

After contacting each other in the past few days, he has become more and more admired the King of Yan's thoughts.

"The officials also think so. Since the old broom cannot sweep the floor, they can change the new one and build a new office in the royal palace. Anyway, the royal palace does not expect the government office to collect taxes for the royal palace." Liu Fu said.

"Well, that's right." Zhao Xu smiled.

The most basic function of the government office on the royal palace is to collect taxes.

This decaying government office in Yan County cannot be done.

As for the implementation of government orders, almost all the people of Yan County have become vassals of the wealthy clan, and there is still any government to be implemented.

It is better to build a government office to manage the people in the royal palace's land.

In the future, if the wealthy families of Yan County are rectified, this bureau can take over Yan County.

"When the officials were studying, they met some poor families. They were talented and had no way to enter the officialdom and could only sell calligraphy and copy calligraphy on the street to make a living. If your highness does not dislike you, your highness is willing to recommend them to your highness." Liu Fu said.

He also has selfish intentions, that is, he doesn't want to work with the children of the wealthy clan.

"The royal mansion is at the moment of employment, so of course it's best."

In Dasong, the opposition between poor families and wealthy families is common.

In the current situation, only these poor children can do things steadily for themselves.

Liu Fu was delighted, "There is now a visit to them and invite them to come."

Zhao Xu nodded, thinking of something, he said, "When I went there, I called Yanjun Yashang's outfit and said that there was a big business in the royal palace with him."

"Take it?" Liu Fu was surprised.

This Yashang is a place for buying and selling slaves and servants, and is specialized in reselling people.

He has seen Yaxing's outfit several times.

He thought to himself that Zhao Xu might think that there were too few slaves in the royal palace and wanted to buy some more.

So he didn't ask much and went there.

After Liu Fu left, Zhao Xu then left the royal palace.

Since he woke up, his range of activities was basically in the royal palace and he had never even visited the nearby streets.

Now, everything is proceeding step by step.

He can also find time to wander around.

"Whose yards on both sides of the royal palace?"

The Yan Prince's Mansion faces east and west, and there is a spacious street in front of the palace.

There is a large courtyard on each side of the palace, and the courtyard is much larger than that of the palace.

Climbed between these two courtyards, his royal palace is even more shabby.

"When you go back to Your Highness, one yard belongs to the Dong family and the other yard belongs to the Lu family. Originally, these two yards and the current royal palace were the real royal palaces, but..."

As soon as Zhao Xu went out, twenty guards immediately accompanied him to protect him.

Chang Wei was busy with the personal guards.

He chose the most capable subordinates to serve as the new guard commander, named Xu Lie.

According to Chang Wei's words, Xu Lie was also very good at shooting.

"But what..." Zhao Xu asked.

Unlike Chang Wei's Gangzhi, Xu Lie has a bit of Confucian style and speaks gentle and elegantly.

"But, he was sold to Dong and Lu families by General Manager Liang." Xu Lie was cautious.

"Liang Cheng!" Zhao Xu frowned, which evoked a very bad picture in his memory.

This Liang Cheng was the eunuch that Emperor Zhao Heng trusted the most.

In recent years, Emperor Zhao Heng has indulged in pleasure and does not care about political affairs, and many of his powers have fallen into his hands.

The reason why he came to Yan County.

A large part of this is Liang Cheng.

This Liang Cheng is a very snobbish person.

Zhao Xu is crazy and stupid, just a waste, and his mother's family has no power or power.

When it comes to his vassal, he naturally has no scruples and tries his best to make money, and he will not care about his life or death.
