058 Recruit Guards
Updated: 2012-11-02
"Oh, have you heard that the people from the Wild Wolf Village have started to move out. A few days ago, they snatched several villages in the north of the city."
"Isn't it autumn yet? People from Wild Wolf Village will only come out to move in autumn! Moreover, Wild Wolf Village has always been charged for head fees and robbery. They are also wealthy families. How could they rob and rob the village?" The person who heard the news asked in confusion.
"That's the past! The people in the Wild Wolf Village are just a group of bandits! Humph, what robbery of the rich to help the poor is all nonsense! Alas, since we have recently left the city, we must be careful. They have collected more and more tolls. Last time in the inn, I heard a small caravan on the North Line say that half of their profits from their business are called tolls. Alas, it's so miserable. Fortunately, we are on the South Line. The merchants on the North Line have recently begun to prepare to suspend their business and are preparing to rest."
"Oh, when will the city lord send someone to encircle the Wild Wolf Village? This is not a solution!"
"Don't dream again! The place where the Wild Wolf Village is located is extremely dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The former city lord has also used his army to encircle and suppress it many times, but he still returned in disgrace! Anyway, we can't afford to mess with each other and hide. At worst, we won't do business in Mengyin City."
"The world is getting worse..."
Zhang He, who had just returned from the mountain to collect herbs, heard several traveling merchants discussing there when he entered the city.
"Wild Wolf Village?" Zhang He frowned slightly. He had heard of this name, the group of bandits. The people from the Wild Wolf Village occupied the mountain as king under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor. All the business trips north of Mengyin City had dealt with the Wild Wolf Village. However, before, in addition to giving caravans and wealthy families a headache, the Wild Wolf Village seemed to be very popular among the civilians.
"My fiefdom is northwest of Mengyin City..." Zhang He suddenly thought of this question. If he had mined iron ore there, Yelangzhai would definitely not let this big fat piece of meat go after hearing the news.
Before, Zhang He would not take these things seriously. But now, when the people from the Wild Wolf Village threaten themselves, Zhang He had to treat them carefully.
"It seems that I will recruit escorts. I have refined enough of the ten-nature domineering spirit. I will first recruit some escorts, and then go to Luowang County City to get the qualifications to raise private soldiers from King Quxian." Zhang He had an idea in his mind. He must protect his iron ore and raise a large number of private soldiers. The best choice is.
After Zhang He entered the city, he went straight to the city lord's mansion. To recruit people, passing through the city lord's mansion is the best choice.
...
Outside the government affairs hall of Mengyin City, a notice was posted again. Some idle people outside the government affairs hall immediately surrounded him.
"The new poor family recruits people? What a generous treatment. Three gold coins a year, food and accommodation, and clothes that are both winter and summer. Good work can also improve the treatment. Anyone who is selected rents the land in the fiefdom and is exempt from rent for three years. After that, you only need to pay Wushuri field rent every year..."
When they saw the news on the notice, the idle people immediately shone their eyes. This offer is definitely a great deal! Immediately, the idle people remember the address above and then left immediately. They want to notify their relatives and friends. This is a difficult opportunity and must not be missed! Even those wealthy families will not give such generous treatment!
...
The Zhang family's yard was very lively, and the number of people who came to apply for the job was actually thousands. If his family's front yard was not big enough and so many people would have been crowded.
"Big Niu, are you here to participate in this soldier recruitment?"
"The fool doesn't come. Such generous treatment, three gold coins a year, and it's still food and accommodation. This item is the only one, and you'll come!"
For an ordinary family, a family of three can earn three gold coins in a year. Here, they also control food and accommodation, provide clothes, and even rent farming, which is more discounted. The fool will not come.
"Hey, silly black guy, why are you here too?" In the crowd, someone suddenly felt that the sun behind him was blocked. He turned around and found that he was a tall black man with short hair and simple clothes, which seemed a little short, revealing his long hands and feet below, and he looked honest and honest. Someone immediately started to tease him.
"My mother said, this is a good opportunity to try my luck." The big black man touched his head and smiled honestly.
"A fool, if you don't take good care of your mother at home, why are you here going to do it? How can you come here?" A sarcastic voice came from the crowd.
The big man from Hei was not angry, but just touched his head and smiled: "It was my mother who asked me to come, saying that after making enough money, she could still get a wife."
When he said this, the big black man's eyes clearly showed a look of expectation. The people around him suddenly burst into laughter. Especially in the crowd, the guy who laughed at the big black man just now was even more happy: "You are just like a bear, and you still want to marry a wife? Which girl will fall in love with a fool like you?"
The big black guy laughed and didn't get angry.
"Look, someone is out. He should be the master of the Zhang family, he is so young."
"Nonsense, he is just eighteen years old. The status of this poor family was obtained after passing the martial arts boy assessment and getting the first place!"
"If my son could have such a future, tsk..."
"Haha, then you have to work hard! But now you don't even have a wife, are you thinking a little far away?"
Zhang He walked out and was really shocked when he saw the dark people in the yard. He didn't expect that so many people would come.
"Master, they all came for your generous treatment." The housekeeper next to him said with a smile. He also sighed in his heart, "Master is really a big deal. It is no wonder that no one can stop the temptation of being able to offer such generous treatment!
"It turns out that there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. However, although the treatment is generous, not everyone can be selected." Zhang He smiled slightly, looked around and quickly swept over the people below. The people below were middle-aged, young and middle-aged, and even Zhang He saw the old man with gray hair.
Suddenly, Zhang He Dahan, the target he recruited this time was mainly the guards of the fiefdom. He was too old, what's the use of recruiting him!
Seeing Zhang He stand up and look at him, the people below took the initiative to calm down. However, their eyes fell on Zhang He.
Zhang He cleared his throat: "Everyone, the recruitment of this time is mainly for guards. Therefore, the young and prosperous people will give priority to it."
The crowd below suddenly became turbulent. Because the notice did not say to recruit guards, most people were surprised.
Zhang Heyi raised his hand, pressed down, and continued: "This time we are recruiting guards from the manor in the future. After a while, we will also recruit chefs, masons, etc. So, if you are not interested in the profession of guarding, you can register first, leave your names and specialties, and wait for the next recruitment. At that time, we will give priority to you."
On the other hand, the people who were coming from the Wang Family Medicine Store had already spread their pens and ink and prepared to give people a level. Some people in the crowd immediately came out to register. After such a struggle, there were almost 700 people left who stood there and remained.
"Okay, the remaining people, if they want to become the guards of my Zhangjia Manor, they need to undergo physical strength tests first. Here, there are three stone locks, their weights are 200 kilograms, 400 kilograms, and 600 kilograms. Those who can lift 200 kilograms can be qualified, and the heavier the weight of the stone lock, the qualification to serve as the captain. Of course, as the captain, his salary will also increase accordingly. The annual salary will be at least eight gold coins. The rest of the benefits will also increase accordingly."
As soon as Zhang He finished speaking, the crowd immediately became excited. Many people immediately stared at the largest stone lock, hoping to lift it up. Unfortunately, many people knew that they were probably powerless. Generally speaking, as long as they were strong adults, it would be easy to lift a stone lock of 200 kilograms.
However, it is not easy to lift the four hundred pounds and six hundred pounds behind. Only after practicing to the skin tempering realm can you have the strength to lift four hundred pounds. And six hundred pounds need to be the Marrow Refining realm!
Zhang He saw that everyone below was eager to try, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, now, everyone can come up and test. After passing the test, don't forget to register your name."
...
"Oh, I didn't have enough food today, otherwise I could lift the 400-pound pound one." A strong man shook his head. Just now, he easily lifted the 200-pound stone lock. When he reached the shoulder, he was not strong enough and had to give up.
...
"I can only lift four hundred kilograms. Six hundred kilograms, but I can't lift them up." Sun Feng looked at Shi Suo and shook his head with regret. Although he said this, he couldn't hide a sense of pride in his tone.
The people present were able to lift four hundred kilograms of stones, but so far there were only four people! When he was practicing in the Wutong Academy, he reached the skin-tempering realm. He always wanted to find a job that could easily have a high salary, but he was not satisfied. He delayed at home for a year or two, and now he felt that staying at home was a waste of time, so he came here to try it.
...
Zhang He looked at the people below. Among these people, they could usually lift a stone lock of 200 kilograms. However, some people could not even lift a stone lock of 200 kilograms, and eventually had to leave in disappointment.
"Master Zhang, how can we lose such a good thing?" At this time, Fatty Tang's voice suddenly came from outside.
Zhang He looked up and found that Fatty Tang and Wang Dachui had also come.
"You want to participate too?" Zhang He couldn't help but wonder. The two of them were going to join him. Zhang He planned to arrange some other things for them, so he did not inform them about this matter. Unexpectedly, they came too.
"Of course, we are all rough people, so it's good to be guards. Well, it's best to be the captain." Fatty Tang giggled.
Zhang He couldn't help but smile: "Okay, you guys go up and lift it. Then let you two be the captain." It would be easy for Fatty Tang and Wang Dachui to lift the 600-pound stone lock.
Fatty Tang walked over and grabbed the 600-pound stone lock, and raised his head in an instant. When the people around him looked at it, they all opened their mouths. Some of them recognized it. These two people were clearly the top ten dark horses in the martial arts test! They actually came to apply for the escort!
Wang Dahui did the same thing and easily lifted the 600-pound stone lock.
"You two will be the captain of my Zhangjia Manor in the future." Zhang He joked and said, "Since you are here, don't rush to leave. Help me suppress the scene here and help me test your future subordinates so that you can know what you know."
Chapter completed!
