The selection of guards will eventually end.

"There are 436 people in total, and this number is too large. The maximum number of guards in wealthy families is only 300." Fatty Tang also knew the rules and came forward with a worried look on his face, "Boss, there are too many people, we have to subtract some."

Zhang He looked at the list and found that the 436 people had already exceeded the upper limit of 300 people. This is the rule of the empire. In addition to the royal family, there are restrictions on the total number of guards in the nobles and gentry families. First-class gentry, up to 300 people, and 600 nobles!

In ordinary poor families, there are already many people with twenty or thirty guards. However, this time, Zhang He actually had 436 people.

If there are too many guards in any family, they will be sick. Because this is suspected of rebellion, once the official pursues the matter, it will definitely be a big crime.

"There are many people." Zhang He smiled. If he had the special order from King Qu Xian, he could raise private soldiers. No matter how many people there were, it was not a problem. "But the people I need must be loyal and those with ulterior motives must be driven away."

Zhang He's eyes flashed.

"Ah? How do you get rid of it?" Fatty Tang and Wang Dachui looked at Zhang He in surprise.

Zhang He smiled slightly and did not explain immediately. He gestured to the person who was trying to attack. The man nodded in a clear understanding and turned around and left.

Fatty Tang and Wang Dachui were confused and didn't know why.

"Recruiting so many guards may some people say, too many!" Zhang He looked at the people below and said lightly, "Actually, not much at all. Let me tell you the truth, I will get the special order soon, and no matter how many guards I recruit, I will not be reported. So, you don't have to worry about being cut off due to excessive numbers."

Many people below were relieved when they heard this.

"However, you are only in the preliminary qualifications now. You have to go through a period of assessment and pass the qualifications before you can stay. After a few days, you will start building a manor. At that time, I hope everyone can treat it like family and take care of it. Do you understand?"

The people below nodded one after another.

"Okay, remember what I said. Let's be here for now. I will report here in three days. Everyone can go back." Zhang He waved his hand and showed a strange smile on his face.

In his sight, the middle-aged man who had just left came in with a stack of paper. When he walked to the gate of the yard, his feet slipped and his body tilted. The paper in his hand suddenly fell out. When the wind blew, the paper immediately spread throughout the yard.

Zhang He stood still, quietly watching the reactions of the people in the yard. Some people didn't care about the paper at all, and directly stepped on the paper on the ground and walked towards the yard gate. Some people squatted down, started picking up the paper, and then carefully organized it and gathered it together.

"Everyone has been recorded." A middle-aged man came over with a confident look on his face. He was holding a roster in his hand, and the name of the person recorded on it was just the one who participated in the assessment. He was seconded by Zhang He from the City Lord's Mansion to help him handle things. His biggest advantage is his amazing memory.

"Very good." Zhang He nodded. He took the roster, glanced at it, then looked up, and said loudly, "Everyone, don't hurry to leave, I have something to say."

At this time, the people in the yard had not yet walked out. When they heard Zhang He's words, they stopped to see what they had to say.

"Those who read the name will officially become the guard of the Zhang family." Zhang He said lightly, and then called the roster.

The people below were still confused, but when they heard Zhang He say this, they suddenly became nervous. They didn't understand why Zhang He suddenly changed his mind and said that he would come back three days later. After a period of assessment, why did he suddenly change his mind and establish it on the spot.

But no matter what everyone thought, Zhang He pronounced the names on it one by one in front of the roster. Those who were pronounced the names were very excited. It was so great that he became the guard of the Zhang family!

Those who were not pronounced their names had a look a little ugly. They looked forward to it, but until the end, they did not pronounce their names.

"Why don't I have my name? I raised a stone lock of 200 kilograms!"

"That's right, why don't we have our name! We all raised the stone lock! If you say no, just don't!"

Those below who were not named after the names immediately started to quarrel with dissatisfaction.

Sun Feng came out of the crowd and said indignantly: "I don't agree. If others stay, I have no objection. But even stupid guys like the silly blackzi can stay. Why can't we stay? If I don't agree, I must give us an explanation!"

Sun Feng's words once again made the people around him excited. They all felt that they were insulted, so why don't you say no? Moreover, you would rather leave a fool than us!

"Yes, why can't a fool stay? I can't. I can lift a four hundred kilogram stone lock!" The speaker was excited. He originally thought that if he left, he could be at least a team leader, which would be the minimum salary of eight gold coins! But he never thought that before he walked out of the yard, he heard the bad news of being eliminated. What he couldn't accept the most was that the stupid black guy who could only lift a two hundred kilogram stone lock was actually kept!

Is this a fucking reason?

"Why?" Zhang He looked around everyone and said quietly, "Then I will tell you the reason. At the beginning, I declared that to become our Zhang family's guard, you still need to pass a qualification assessment. Only by passing this qualification assessment can you officially become my Zhang family's guard."

"To be honest, the strength of your abilities is not what I care about the most. The person I am looking for must be loyal, be able to regard the Zhang family as your own, and be able to cherish the things of the Zhang family. This kind of person is what I need. Just now, who would be willing to lower your waist to pick up the paper that has been scattered to the ground?"

The people below suddenly woke up. Fatty Tang and Wang Dachui looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. Zhang He actually tested everyone in a quiet manner?

"Why do I leave a fool? Because he is willing to bend over and pick up the paper on the ground, brush off the dust and hand it back. He knows how to cherish it. Only such people can safeguard the interests of our Zhang family when they enter our Zhang family! And what about you? You can't even cherish a piece of paper. Do I still expect you to safeguard the interests of our Zhang family at critical moments?"

Zhang He's words were like a slap in the face, slapped many people in the face. Those who bent down to pick up paper secretly were glad that they had picked up paper. And those who ignored the paper on the ground were extremely regretful that they actually lost such a good opportunity because of a piece of paper.

Those who were dissatisfied had nothing to say now and could only leave in disappointment.

"Zhang He, can't I give them another chance? Some of them have pretty good cultivation." Wang Dachu came forward and asked hesitantly.

"Talent but not virtue is a disaster. Moreover, a person's cultivation can be improved. You said no?" Zhang He seemed to smile.

Wang Dahui's eyes suddenly shone: "Do you want to use body quenching fluid to help them improve their cultivation?" He immediately understood why Zhang He didn't care so much about their cultivation. Don't forget that the body quenching fluid that Zhang He mastered in his hands can help people improve their cultivation easily!

Wang Dahui couldn't help but be shocked when he thought of this. He immediately thought of the future. If Zhang He trained him and Fatty Tang, his guards would definitely improve rapidly. At that time, Zhang He would have a loyal guard team!

Fatty Tang also reacted, and the eyes of the two of them looking at Zhang He were full of shock.

Zhang He didn't agree, but just smiled faintly. In fact, his plan was just as Wang Dahui said. Therefore, Zhang He didn't care much about the strength of these people's cultivation. He held a powerful body quenching fluid like Ten-Perfect Dominance in his hand. These guards could lift 200 kilograms of stone locks, which meant that their qualifications were not bad. Although they could not be trained to become masters of Zhenwu Realm, it was still very easy to upgrade them to the bone refining realm, marrow refining realm, etc.

"There are 312 people in total... guarding a mine, but the manpower is still a little short of people. However, when using the ten-nature domineering body fluids to improve their cultivation, and then strengthen the guards of the mining area, I think even if the people from the Wild Wolf Village come, there is no need to be afraid."

Zhang He's eyes flashed with confidence. The big reason for recruiting so many guards was to protect the safety of the mine.

If there is insufficient staff, at worst, you can recruit them again.

...

The sun is scorching like fire, and the willow branches are still motionless, and they seem dead. Only the cicadas on the willow trees are chirping happily. At this time, when people move a little, they will sweat profusely, so most people hide under the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool air.

"Huh~~"

In the Zhang family's yard, Zhang He was wearing a short shirt, but he slowly punched in the scorching sun. Except for his face being a little infrared, he did not sweat at all.

The essence and energy are locked! The open and closed pores, and the sweat in the body cannot come out at all. His hands are wrapped with a layer of rich blood, which is his true energy. His current state is still low, and the true energy placed on the surface of the body will appear bloody when affected by the qi and blood.

"Tai Chi is worthy of being the most famous internal martial arts! After one punch, the true energy in the body will be more circumcised and rotated freely."

The boxing that Zhang He played was the internal Tai Chi. Although this boxing method was slowly and slowly, it could guide the true qi and flow smoothly in the body. During this operation, Zhang He's control of the true qi in his body became more comfortable.

"As the true energy continues to grow, after a while, I can break through to the first level of the True Recovery Realm. At that time, I can use the critical hit power of a half-step punch. In this way, I will be more confident when I participate in the thesis conference."

Zhang He was thinking when footsteps suddenly came from beside him.

"Master, Lin family in the north of the city, come to visit." The figure of the concierge appeared in front of him and said respectfully. Originally, everyone called Zhang He the young master at home, but Zhang's mother said that Zhang He is now the head of the family, and the people should call him the master.

Zhang He stopped and was slightly surprised: "Lin Family?" He thought for a while, he and the Lin Family had never had any contact, so why did they come to visit him? Could it be that they were also here to propose marriage? Thinking of this, Zhang He casually said: "If you are here to propose marriage, let him go back. Just say I am not here."

"They said that they came to visit you for other things."
