The creaking sound of the wooden door interrupted the progress in the courtyard, and for a while, almost all eyes were on this side. After seeing the person who came in first, the two strong men were immediately overjoyed, and the person who Zhu Youxiao looked familiar with him came and bowed his hand to him.

"Childe, you're here."

Son!

This title immediately attracted the group of young men, who immediately tilted their ears and listened carefully. This mysterious son, they have heard about it every day in the past few days, and their ears are almost calloused. Brother Liu, who brought them here, as long as he is free, will preach to them the benefits of following his son's solid work, even if he can't have a background, he can have no worries about food and clothing.

Whether they are born or not, these boys don't know that what really attracts them is the two taels of silver for settling in and worry-free food and clothing. The settling-in allowance is for their families, and it has nothing to do with them, what they care about is only the four words of worry-free food and clothing, and they are also the four words that attract them the most.

And the one who guarantees all this is naturally the son in front of him who looks the same age as them. In the face of their future food and clothing parents, some of these boys were stubborn, and the hot ones also quieted down, and the courtyard, which was still a little noisy, suddenly became audible.

"Hmm!" Facing the etiquette of the two strong men, Zhu Youxiao bowed slightly. Then he walked to the position of the corridor steps where they were standing just now, and looked at the ten teenagers in front of him who were gathered together, his brows were squeezed into a heap, a little displeased, he was used to seeing the well-trained appearance of the eunuchs around him, and when he looked at these again, he would feel very disgusted and unbearable.

"When you return to the palace, you must practice hard." Zhu Youxiao secretly thought in his heart.

Looking at Zhu Youxiao standing on the steps, these teenagers' hearts were full of Qiji, they opened their eyes wide, staring at Zhu Youxiao tightly, hoping very much that he could say something to calm their somewhat restless hearts, and to tell them that the dreams they heard from time to time yesterday were real and within reach.

In fact, Liu Bin promised them nothing conditions, just to guarantee that they would be given a few clothes every year, that they would eat enough food, that they would eat meat every three days, and that after the first year, they would have one or two taels of silver per month. In ancient times, one tael of silver was almost equivalent to a thousand yuan in modern times, and one tael per month was a thousand yuan per month. In the eyes of modern people, this is a condition that is darker than the black-hearted coal mine, and in the eyes of the bitter haha at the feet of these emperors, it is simply very generous.

If it weren't for Liu Bin's great restrictions on recruiting people, they would all want to sell themselves in the past. Wrapping food, sheltering and clothes, and being able to get one tael of silver a month, is twelve taels a year. At that time, marrying a yellow flower girl was only a dowry of four or five taels, twelve taels a year, which was like pie in the sky.

What's more, Liu Bin also led the parents of these children to take a turn around the palace, the magnificent gate, the shiny big copper nails, and the loft looming behind the blue tile and red wall all surprised them, especially when they got the reply from the housekeeper of this mansion, which immediately put them at ease and extinguished the thoughts in their hearts that Liu Bin had done a human abduction.

What's more, what Liu Bin asked them to sign was not a deed of sale, but a document for long-term labor, similar to the relationship between tenants and landlords, the household registration will not change, and when the days are better in the future, they can save some money and support a child to study.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao also wanted to learn from the protagonist in the Ming Dynasty and let them sign a deed of sale, but then I thought about it, in Zaiye's future plan, it must be to ban the existence of slaves, at least to ban the existence of Chinese slaves, for the long-term plan, he changed it to such a long-term contract.

Moreover, as the grandson of the emperor, he was born with countless advantages, and he didn't need to be sold by people, would these people still run away after knowing his identity? What's more, he also needs to create a good reputation and positive image for himself, let alone buy and sell good people as slaves.

When Liu Bin came out with the news that he was recruiting long-term workers with such generous conditions, and it was confirmed, the threshold of his family was crowded at the time, and in the face of countless requests for help, he also struggled and hesitated for a long time in his heart before he could stick to it from beginning to end and maintain his position unwaveringly.

Of course, there is also a large part of Wei Zhongxian's credit, he beats and threatens Liu Bin every day, what will happen if he can't do a good job, so that Liu Bin, who is a little swollen, calms down cautiously, and selects ten teenagers from the initial batch of three or four hundred people in strict accordance with Wei Zhongxian's method.

The selection criteria handed down from Zhu Youxiao are very simple, but in the metropolis of Beijing, it is a little difficult. His request, to put it bluntly, is three words, a good family. Liangjiazi often appeared in the Han Dynasty and was the most important source of soldiers in the Han Dynasty. From the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the meaning of Liangjiazi has not changed much, it is still a family of non-doctors, non-witches, non-businessmen and non-hundred workers, and the children of these families are called Liangjiazi.

For this standard, he has not changed, the scope of Liangjiazi is similar to Qi Jiguang's choice of soldiers, his team was like this at the beginning, but he must not mix in too many slippery people, otherwise the atmosphere is not easy to establish, and when the plate is big and all aspects are mature, this standard can be released.

The court drafts of the Ming Dynasty were generally selected from good families. He chose his own son of the forbidden army of the East Palace, which was compared with the palace draft. There are a lot of records in the court, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has almost become a profession. Wei Zhongxian just walked to the palace under the banner of the grandson, and found an elderly eunuch who was better at this aspect in the Huanyi Bureau.

Although men and women are different, the selection process is the same, as long as the body is strong and smart enough, the rest is fine. He Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, there is nothing that cannot be tolerated, it really can't be done, just brush it off when the time comes, Daming lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people who want to be officials.

The ten fifteen-year-old and a half-year-old children standing here are all the teenagers who meet the standards that can be found in Liu Bin's current social circle. Among these boys, some are military households in the family, some are street coolies, some are errands in the yamen, and some are small businesses in the family, and even a few tenants' children.

Looking at the forty pairs of extremely expectant eyes below, Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, just let them separate and look at them one by one. Look at the body, look at the eyes, look at the face, look at the expression. Ten people looked over one by one, and he didn't find a single one that displeased him. I have to say that these things that have been passed down from generation to generation are still very mysterious and useful.

Standing back on the steps just now, Zhu Youxiao looked at these half-sized children who had become confused and nervous, and smiled slightly, this kind of expression he had seen a lot in his previous life, all of them were expectations and worries about the future after coming to a new environment. After clearing his throat, he said softly: "I have seen your situation, and it basically meets my requirements. ”

"So ......" said this, Zhu Youxiao deliberately paused, and those boys also showed extremely nervous emotions with his pause at the right time. Before they came, they knew that whether they could get this extremely rare opportunity still needed the consent of Childe. As for how precious this opportunity is, these boys who are not very familiar with the world do not know. But the competition of others, the advice of parents, and the screening process of passing five hurdles and six generals, all clearly tell them how rare this opportunity is, and they must not give it up.

Especially these ten boys who have come to the last step, if they are really eliminated, they are thin-skinned, and they hardly know how to go back to face their disappointed parents or younger siblings. Just thinking about it, the feeling of shame and self-blame almost suffocates them.

Everyone stared at Zhu Youxiao, stretching their necks and waiting for his trial.

"So......... Everyone, I stayed. Without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to finish speaking, an irrepressible cheer jumped up, and even those who didn't know each other held hands and jumped up. Looking at their excited expressions, Zhu Youxiao also laughed, he was like this when he was admitted to the civil service, he just felt that a better life was waiting for him.

However, from a certain point of view, this statement is not wrong, he was selected by him as the emperor's grandson and traveler, and even if he can't be famous in the future, he will immediately take fame, and it is not a problem to seal his wife and son. And all this originated from Liu Bin's return of the royal horse. I have to say that the word fate is sometimes so wonderful, as long as the middle link is wrong, then the result is completely different.

"Master, my uncle has already prepared the carriage, and now I can go back to the palace." At this time, Wei Zhongxian came over to report. The carriage was made by Wei Zhongxian to inform Wang Sheng just now, just to send this group of boys to the palace.

"Go and greet them." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then asked Wei Zhongxian to take care of the rest of the chores. This is the advantage of being a superior person, and all the trivial things are done for him. However, there are not many such good days, as long as the training plan starts, Zhu Youxiao will devote himself wholeheartedly to it, completely demand himself with the standard of a soldier, do everything himself, and build the foundation for his own rise.

With Wei Zhongxian's scolding behind him, the group of boys quickly quieted down, and then under the leadership of the two Liu Bin's men, they followed out in an orderly manner. At the gate of the mansion, the regiment had a wide van carriage with the curtains fixed, the carriage was very large, it needed to be pulled by four horses, the inside of the carriage was pitch black, only a faint light, and after entering, he could not see his five fingers, and he could not see the outside situation at all.

He didn't want these boys to know his identity now, so as not to affect their training and cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing this situation, the boys hesitated a little, this posture, how they don't look like a good thing.

"Look at what, don't go in yet. Whoever is hesitating and kicks it out. Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to let our son lie to you? Don't pee on yourself, what valuable things can you have. Wei Zhongxian's scolding sounded very quickly, and it was strange to say, although he scolded fiercely and scolded badly, but these half-grown children let go of their worries and boarded the carriage in turn.

Standing next to him, Zhu Youxiao looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, everything was in his plan, and it did not exceed his expectations. It was just a strange phenomenon that caught his attention, and in the street some distance from here, some rags-clad people were waving in this direction.

This group of people has men and women, old and young, there are not many people, more than ten people, their faces are quite excited, keep shaking their hands to this side, in the teenagers who got on the bus one after another, almost all of them waved their hands and smiled towards that side, and even shouted loudly.

After watching it for a while, Zhu Youxiao suddenly understood that these were parents who couldn't rest assured of their children.

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!" With a slight sigh, he stretched out his hand to stop Liu Bin's subordinates who wanted to drive them away, and let them watch there.
