Zhou Qing was completely convinced by Du Qi, so he did not ask any more questions. He said directly, "Mr. Du, you have full authority to command this battle. Whatever you want to do, then do it. In short, I'm entrusting my life to you. I'm entrusting the lives of everyone in Fushan County to you. "
Du Qi said, "Thank you very much."
For Du Qi, the most important thing now was to establish a foothold.
As long as he could establish a foothold in Fushan County, he would be able to do anything in Great Qin.
If he could not establish a foothold or even live a cautious life, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything.
This was not a situation that Du Qi wanted.
Zhou Qing asked, "Mr. Du, I have about two thousand soldiers in Fushan County. However, the combat power of the army is not particularly strong. I'll leave the army to you. However, what are your conditions? In short, I'll do my best to fulfill your conditions. "
Du Qi said, "My condition is actually very simple. I hope that my business can be unhindered. Especially after the threat of the Great Desolate Mountain is dealt with. Next, County Magistrate Zhou might have a chance to be promoted. When the time comes, County Magistrate Zhou will take care of Du Qi and make it easier for me to operate. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "When I do business, I've always believed that the first thing to do is to conduct oneself. If one's conduct is not good, even if one's business takes off and makes endless money, it will still be rootless and eventually collapse. "
"Well said!"
Zhou Qing's face was full of admiration.
Zhou Qing said, "It's my fortune to be able to meet Mr. Du."
Du Qi said, "You flatter me, you flatter me."
Zhou Qing said, "Mr. Du, what should we do now?"
The general direction had been decided, and he had already said that he would cooperate with Du Qi's deployment. However, the specific command and implementation had not been decided.
Du Qi said, "County Magistrate Zhou, is there enough money in the county treasury?"
Zhou Qing said, "There's enough."
Fushan County was close to the harbor, and there was an abundance of seafood and resources. Therefore, Fushan County's economic conditions were not bad. Therefore, at the very least, Fushan County was developing well.
Du Qi said, "As the saying goes, when there is a great reward, there will be brave men. The most important thing now was to use the army to raise the morale of the soldiers. Make use of the rewards to increase the combat power of the army and make them dare to fight. "
Zhou Qing asked, "How much does it cost?"
Du Qi said, "I don't need much money, just ten thousand taels of silver."
Zhou Qing said, "No problem."
Du Qi continued, "Then to deal with the Great Desolate Mountain, we'll start with the army. County Magistrate Zhou, my next plan is as follows … "
Immediately, Du Qi began to explain the plan.
Du Qi explained the complete plan to deal with the Great Desolate Mountain.
Zhou Qing listened carefully. When he heard the complete plan, he couldn't help but praise, "Amazing, really amazing. Mr. Du, your strategy is really amazing. "
Du Qi said, "County Magistrate Zhou, you flatter me."
Zhou Qing said: "Mr. Dean, with your talent and ability, I don't think it's a problem for you to become a county lord or even a governor. Are you willing to become an official in the Great Qin Empire? I also have some connections. If you're willing, I can recommend you. "
"No need!"
Du Qi shook his head and said, "Being an official is not my wish. I prefer to do business."
Zhou Qing said: "What a pity, what a pity."
After a pause, Zhou Qing said: "In that case, let's start. This time, I'll go with you, Mr. Du. "
Du Qi nodded.
Zhou Qing immediately arranged for someone to transfer ten thousand taels of silver from the treasury and send it directly to the military camp. Then, Du Qi and Zhou Qing also went to the military camp.
The military camp of Fushan County was located in the west of the city.
There were more than two thousand soldiers.
However, the soldiers in the military were not very strong, especially because the Great Qin Empire had been established for more than a hundred years. Because there were no wars in the country and the world was peaceful, the military's combat power was not very strong.
This was a common problem.
When the country was first established, it was built with a sword and a saber, so the military's combat power was very strong. However, as the world was peaceful, the military's combat power was slowly lost.
When Du Qi and Zhou Qing arrived at the military camp, they immediately gathered all the captains in the military camp and gathered all the soldiers in the military camp.
Zhou Qing faced everyone and pointed at Du Qi. He said, "Today, I'll introduce a person to all of you. He's Du Qi. From now on, Du Qi will be the commander of the Fushan County army."
Zhou Qing said, "I'll cut to the chase. Mr. Du will speak."
Du Qi took a step forward and looked at all the soldiers with a sharp gaze. He said in a deep voice, "None of the soldiers have seen me before. However, that's not important. Who I am is not important. What's important is that I'm going to lead you to attack the bandit Yan Three from the Dahuang Mountain. I'm going to lead you to eliminate him. "
Whoosh!
There was an uproar in the military camp.
Everyone was discussing among themselves. Their faces were filled with shock.
Against Yan Three?
This was crazy.
Yan Three's army was extremely powerful. The entire Fushan County did not have the ability to fight back. But now, the government wanted to deal with Yan Three. They must be tired of living.
Many people started discussing among themselves.
There were also many people whose faces were filled with shock.
Du Qi looked at the discussions below and did not say anything. He just waited quietly. The discussions got louder and louder. More and more people were discussing among themselves. More and more people were not optimistic about Yan Three.
However, these discussions gradually began to change.
That was because Du Qi did not say anything.
Zhou Qing saw this but did not say anything. Since this matter was handed over to Du Qi, he trusted Du Qi completely. He would not interfere with what Du Qi wanted to do.
The discussions gradually quieted down.
Everyone looked at Du Qi again.
Du Qi raised his hand and everyone stopped talking. Then, they heard Du Qi say, "Is Yan Three very powerful? I don't think he is. It's just that when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be the king. Yan Three's men are just a bunch of misfits. Yan Three is able to stay in Dahuang Mountain because he did not meet any enemies. The government has never dealt with Yan Three. That's why he can do whatever he wants.
"Now, it's time to deal with Yan Three.
"If we don't deal with Yan Three, Fushan County will always be a threat.
"If we don't deal with Yan Three, your wives, children, and families will always be slaughtered.
"That's why we have to get rid of Yan Three."
After Du Qi finished speaking, he continued, "I will lead all of you in the battle against Yan Three. In this battle, anyone who makes contributions on the battlefield will be rewarded. "
"If you kill one person, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver.
"If you kill two people, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
"If you kill three people, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver.
"If you kill four people, you will be rewarded with forty taels of silver.
"So on and so forth. As long as you can kill someone, the government will reward you."
Du Qi's eyes were sharp as he said, "I have already obtained County Magistrate Zhou's approval. The government will give you ten thousand taels of silver. Other than that, there will also be many merchant families who will donate money and goods as rewards. As long as you are brave enough to fight and kill the enemy, you will be rewarded. "
Boom!
The soldiers immediately became excited.
All of them were extremely excited.
Five taels of silver for one person. Ten taels of silver for two people. The more people they killed, the more rewards they would receive. If they could kill ten people, how many rewards would they receive?
The breathing of many people became hurried.
Each and every one of them was moved by Du Qi's commendation, because the commendation was simply too generous.
Originally, many people did not want to go to war because people would die in a war. However, the rewards that Du Qi gave them made them excited. They were filled with fighting spirit.
This was what it meant to be brave when there was a great reward.
Five taels of silver. They might not even be able to earn that much in a year.
Five taels of silver for one person.
Many people were excited when they thought about earning money.
Du Qi looked at the soldiers who were discussing among themselves. Many of them were eager to give it a try. However, there were still many people who looked on coldly. It was obvious that they did not believe Du Qi's words.
Five taels of silver for one person.
It was too expensive.
Du Qi nodded at Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing waved his hand and the ten thousand taels of silver that had already been sent over were carried in. Chests after chests of silver were placed in the middle of the drill ground. As the chests were opened, the shining silver shone brightly under the sunlight.
It was even more tempting.
All of the soldiers were envious.
