The night was as silent as water, and when it was day, the beasts of the mountains had ceased, and there was silence all around, except for the occasional crackling sound of the bonfires.

In the night sky, a crescent moon hangs horizontally in the night sky like a sharp knife, as if it has cut a hole in the night sky.

Li Chunlai lay not far from a bonfire, picked a stone as a pillow, and had a dog's tail grass stalk in his mouth, but he didn't feel sleepy for a long time.

Through what he learned from Liu Heizi, Li Chunlai's heart was still a little unstoppable until now.

Now, for various reasons, the process of recruiting 'soldiers' in the yamen is very simple, basically as long as they are not missing arms and legs, as long as they are normal men, they will be accepted when they come.

But there are a lot of tricks in it, or routines.

For example, Liu Heizi.

Most of his followers are his people, except for his relatives who are his fellow villagers, and most of them are 'soldiers'.

To put it bluntly, it is the cannon fodder when encircling and suppressing bandits in the future.

But these soldiers don't know, they still think that 'eating the emperor's grain' is glorious.

Moreover, Liu Heizi had already reached an agreement with Xiao Lu Zhutou, and the salaries of these 'soldiers' under his command could only be 70% or even 60% of the normal ones.

The difference was eaten by Liu Heizi and Xiao Lu Zhutou 'two one to make five'.

However, they have a tacit understanding, these people have been caught by Xiao Lu again, and others can't find fault with it from the bright side.

"Hey......"

Thinking about it, Li Chunlai couldn't help but sigh slightly.

With his financial resources at this time, not to mention the more, recruiting seven or eight soldiers is not a big problem.

Moreover, Li Chunlai has a strong confidence, this is just the beginning, and in the future, he has the opportunity to get more silver, more windfalls, and even more women and good hands!

It's a pity......

The official level crushed people to death.

Little Lu catches the head of this turtle son——

At this time, it was like an insurmountable mountain in front of Li Chunlai, and if this turtle son did not nod, all of Li Chunlai's plans would not be able to take shape.

Even, maybe it will lead to some greater disaster.

Thinking of this, Li Chunlai also felt a little annoyed, his uncle Yang Deshan, didn't he fucking pit him to death!

It's a pity that even if he is unhappy, Li Chunlai can only face reality.

With the many experiences of that soul, he knows very well that facing problems, avoiding is far from being a solution, and only solving them head-on is the best way to get past them.

Since the ideal situation is not achieved at this time, Li Chunlai can only retreat to the next best thing, first find two or three really trustworthy players, at least to ensure his own safety first.

Although this will definitely not meet Li Chunlai's requirements, and even, after recruiting people in, it is likely that he will not be able to be with Li Chunlai, but at least there is a helper, right?

And the candidate for this helper, Li Chunlai also has a belly case.

Although Li Chunlai is the 'third', he also claims to be 'Li Laosan', but his third is a little different from others.

Other people's rankings are basically brothers' rankings, and they are the rankings of gentlemen, but Li Chunlai only has two sisters.

The second sister, Li Xiulian, lives in Hongyazi Village, not far from Quanzi Village, Li Chunlai's hometown, and now has two sons and one daughter.

Pity Li Chunlai's eldest sister Li Xiuhua, because their unsuccessful father married too early, married at the age of thirteen, and gave birth to a son when he was fifteen years old, but he died because of this difficult birth.

Although her son is desperately trying to save herself, her own life is gone......

Thinking of this, Li Chunlai's eyes couldn't stop moistening.

His poor eldest sister...... I haven't understood what this world is like, but it's already ......

Based on this alone, Li Chunlai will never forgive his father!

Putting these relationships on the table, Li Chunlai's closest clansmen are also clear.

The eldest sister's orphan son is called Qi Shan, nicknamed 'Shanzi', and although he is only fifteen years old now, he has been working in the coal mine in Laiwu for two years.

The last time Li Chunlai saw Shanzi, it was during the Chinese New Year, and he was originally a handsome young man, but because of the polishing of the world, he became like a little iron egg.

In addition, his father had already married another person, so he didn't pay attention to him at all, and he wanted to marry a wife in his life...... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an extravagant hope.

However, although Shanzi is a little wooden, he has a lot of strength, and he also respects Li Chunlai's uncle, as long as Li Chunlai personally runs and recruits Shanzi to his side, it is not a big problem.

To put it bluntly, as long as they give the coal mine and the Qi family a little bit of silver, they will be finished, how can they ever treat poor Shanzi as a person?

The conditions on the second sister Li Xiulian's side are better.

The main thing is the second brother-in-law, Hong Bin, who is a well-known good hunter within a few miles of Hongyazi, and it may be an exaggeration to say that his archery skills are superb, but it is really not a problem to shoot wolves and leopards.

The eldest cousin, Hong Hu, is only eleven years old this year, but he went into the mountains to hunt with his second brother-in-law Hong Bin early, and he is very clever.

A few years ago, when Li Chunlai was 'seriously ill', if it weren't for the second sister and the second brother-in-law's family who worked hard to help and sent some silver and meat from time to time, Li Chunlai was afraid that he would not have survived at this time.

With the second sister Li Xiulian's love for herself, as long as she opens her mouth and brings her second brother-in-law Hong Bin and eldest cousin Hutou over, it is not a big problem.

It's just that......

Although the conditions are here, they can ...... Whether or not to bring his closest relatives closer to this bottomless mud pit, Li Chunlai is extremely entangled.

After all, even though he has some silver now, he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river - he can't protect himself.

"Hey, it's hard for this person to live, and if you want to go up, it's really hard to climb to the sky. It's no wonder that Li Taibai said, Shu Dao is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky......"

Li Chunlai was very emotional in his heart for a while.

Children of the poor family, in this world, it is really difficult to get ahead.

Not to mention that there is only one arm of stupid strength, even people like Li Chunlai who have read books, have some brains, and even have terrifying experiences that others don't know are so difficult, let alone those ordinary people.

"That's not right."

"I think I forgot something!"

Just as he was sighing, Li Chunlai suddenly looked in the direction of the center of the camp.

The main reason is that there are too many things today, and Li Chunlai is a little messy, especially after what happened to Fu Ye, his mind is a little funny, so he hasn't thought about it deeply.

At this time, really looking at the center of this camp, Li Chunlai suddenly caught something.

Tonight's matter, although Li Chunlai can't judge, whether this is the Laiwu town guard Ding's father-in-law's business, after all, the eldest man of Yiyuan didn't come.

But there is one thing that Li Chunlai can be sure of!

This father-in-law Ding is very concerned about today's affairs!

Other words.

His hatred for those bandits has reached a critical point.

This time, the county government will re-collect manpower, especially the soldiers, and the conditions will not only be much better, but even those who can bring in people will also have a part of the reward.

This kind of thing similar to the 'pyramid scheme' in the soul has naturally been accustomed to in later generations, and it is just a basic routine, but it is not absent at this time.

Liu Heizi said it to Li Chun before.

Back then, the reason why Lu Da Hunting was able to sit on the throne of the Great Catcher was precisely because their Lu family had a large population and helped the county master more than ten years ago.

What was the situation of Lu Da's arrest back then, although Liu Heizi did not explain it, but Li Chunlai still understood the situation at this time, and I am afraid that it is not much better than back then.

Because the entire Yiyuan, including the surrounding areas, has such a small population.

But anyone who has a livelihood at home and can barely survive, especially the masters, who, who is willing to come to eat this bowl of bloody rice?

Guarding the 'wife and children's hot kang head' every day, isn't it fragrant?

Not to mention, since many years ago, there has been an old saying: "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail." ”

If Gonggong Ding wants to 'recruit' through normal procedures, he is afraid that he will be in Yiyuan, including the surrounding areas, it will be difficult to achieve his goal.

According to the ability of this father-in-law Ding, how could he not think of this kind of incentive method of 'pulling people's heads'?

It's just that......

Again, back to the original question.

Even if Gonggong Ding really came up with this kind of policy, with Xiao Lu catching the stinky dead fish in front of him, how should he Li Chunlai get over?

This made Li Chunlai grit his teeth with hatred, he really even had the heart to kill.

……

In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.

The huge camp was awakened by all kinds of tired sounds and noises.

Although Father-in-law Ding came in the middle of the night last night, he got up early in the morning, and instead of being tired, he personally inspected and opened the camp in high spirits.

Li Chunlai squinted for an hour last night, but the situation on his side was special, even so, his mental state was still very good.

Seeing that Gonggong Ding was so energetic and energetic, Li Chunlai couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

This master is really a character.

Xiao Lu Zhutou, Liu Heizi and others also woke up quickly, not because they didn't want to sleep more, but mainly because the conditions were too bad at this time, not only did there be a layer of frost in the morning, but the cool breeze was also swishing, and everyone didn't have a quilt, who could sleep steadily?

Xiao Lu Zhutou saw Father-in-law Ding's side, and he wanted to stammer, but how could he stammer such a character as Father-in-law Ding?

Seeing that Father-in-law Ding didn't have the intention of coming here for a while, Xiao Lu Zhutou could only pack up his spirit and beckon the man to cook first.

Speaking of guys, don't underestimate this profession, the guys in the yamen are basically making up, and the treatment is even good.

Moreover, there is no need to fight, there is no need for intense attendance, and the meals are tasted and eaten first.

Generally, it doesn't matter to people, you can't be a guy if you want to, you can't grab it.

Although Li Chunlai was very disdainful of Xiao Lu Zhutou, he had been secretly looking at him and learning from him.

Not to mention the rest, this guy is still familiar with the process, and moreover, it is decent.

After all, he is from a rich family, and his understanding of the rules and the situation, at least at this time, is much stronger than Li Chunlai, who was born at the bottom.

While looking and learning from Xiao Lu's side of the head, Li Chunlai's eyes never left Ding's side for too long.

Xiao Lu is worth learning from Li Chunlai, let alone a real big man like Gonggong Ding?

As Gonggong Ding finished inspecting the camp of Lin Da Hunt, including part of the Yiyuan County Army, Huang Da Hunt, Lu Da Tou Hunt, including Fu Ye and others had also gotten up, and they all followed behind Gong Ding like slaves.

Li Chunlai was looking at them while using his brain.

If Father-in-law Ding really wants to open the matter of 'pulling people's heads', how can he, Li Chunlai, use the rules inside to settle the stinky dead fish of Xiao Lu's headcatcher, so as to eat the benefits?

"It's coming, it's coming, Gonggong Ding is coming to our side. Everyone is smart. ”

Just as Li Chunlai was thinking, Lu San's familiar male duck voice suddenly sounded not far away.

Li Chunlai subconsciously raised his head to look over, but saw that Gonggong Ding didn't pay attention to Xiao Lu Zhutou and the others who used to kowtow like dogs, but actually strode in the direction of him Li Chunlai.

This......

Could it be that what happened here last night is not really in the past, and Grandpa Ding already knows?

For a while, Li Chunlai was like falling into an ice cave, but in the depths of his heart, a scorching flame could not stop rising rapidly!
