If there is the first one to apply, there will be a second immediately, and if there is a second, there will be a third.

Inside and outside the city, there are recruitment slogans, with great fanfare, and there are extremely high camp construction wages to create enough buzz.

At the beginning of the recruitment, many people came to the camp, some were recruited, and many came to see the excitement, and the recruitment office was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, but fortunately, the venue was spacious enough.

Idle people, etc., as long as they don't cross the line, don't drive any of them, let them watch, how to recruit soldiers, who are recruited, they discuss, it is also a form of communication, if someone sees the recruitment requirements, and wants to apply, go to the back to line up.

There are only two officials maintaining the order on the spot, but because the recruitment process is formal enough, onlookers and recruits do not dare to make a mistake.

Although the recruitment requirements were not written out and hung up, after seeing more than 10 people applying, the people on the scene also understood that those who are not in good health, have inflexible hands, feet, legs and feet, do not be over 18 years old and have no livelihood occupation, do not be over 25 years old and have no special means, and do not apply involuntarily.

From early morning to evening, the recruiting office was surrounded by recruits, and the people looked at the conscripts and a few young officials.

The people in the city are very idle, and they rarely have the opportunity to meet officials, unless they go to the county hall, and it is very rare for officials to be watched in front of the public. These people who watched the excitement were not so much to see the army recruitment, but to see the officials, and they were full of joy, hoping that future generations would also have someone to be officials.

When the sun set, Zhang Biao announced that the first day of recruitment was over, and after continuing tomorrow, the onlookers reluctantly left. Those who are still queuing up to enlist, if their home is far away, can rest in the barracks.

The crowd dispersed, and the entire camp fell silent. After Yang Congyi and the others inspected the roster, they held a small meeting.

"There are a lot of applicants who came to apply today, and there are 237 people who have registered their names, and 96 people who finally passed, close to 100 people, and the first day was full of harvest, which is gratifying." Yang Congyi said he was very satisfied.

Jiang Kai said: "Today's recruitment, more than 100 people did not pass the assessment, most of them are born problems, all of them are idle and messing around, these people are simply a waste of time, hang a flag, don't apply if you don't have a livelihood." ”

Yang Congyi said: "Is this appropriate, young people have no pressure, and it is normal to have nothing to do, but as long as the family is innocent and has not committed a crime, they should be given a chance, joining the army is an opportunity that can change their lives, and they are still idle when they enter the barracks, and the military law will deal with it." ”

Zhang Biao said: "What Lord Yang said is reasonable, they are still young, and it is normal that they don't know what to do. ”

Jiang Kai was silent, there were a lot of people brushing down on the second level, there was no way, he just didn't have a good impression of idle people. Yang Congyi and Zhang Biao both said that they would give them a chance, and he couldn't say anything more based on his personal preferences, so he had to agree.

Yang Congyi said: "Okay, tomorrow we will speed up and improve efficiency." If you have a criminal record, don't let him pass the first level, let him go back directly, and let him go back as long as the second level is okay, and ordinary people are not more than 25 years old, they can be allowed to pass. That's it, everyone is tired, rest early after eating, and continue tomorrow. ”

In the next few days, although the number of applicants was not as high as on the first day, the elimination rate was not high, and 100 people were recruited every day. In times of peace, in the year of no famine, so many people can be recruited every day, and Yang Congyi is satisfied in his heart.

After recruiting for four days, there are already nearly 400 people, 400 people are a lot, of course, it is not much, the Xuanwei army has a limit of 5,000 people, how much can be recruited from the forbidden army, he doesn't know, if he is not satisfied, he can only recruit more new people for training, if he can recruit 4,000 people from the forbidden army, it doesn't matter if he recruits more recruits, anyway, the imperial court does not allocate military expenses, as long as the fleet is well funded, it is nothing to raise a few hundred more people, besides, the fleet needs a lot of manpower, and it is useful to get on the ship.

The sun rises and recruitment continues.

There were fewer and fewer onlookers, and the young officials didn't have flowers on their faces, and they saw too much and just like that, they weren't recruited, and they couldn't talk to them. But no matter how few people there are, they can also circle the recruitment office twice, and no matter what time it is, there will never be a shortage of idlers watching the excitement.

"Yun Niang, let's go back, it's going to be hot in a while."

"Just come and come back, what are you doing with me, and we'll see for a while."

Outside the crowd, two little ladies looked at the recruiting office from between the uncrowded gaps.

"What's there to see, you weren't here yesterday." A little lady complained.

"Where do you talk so much, I won't bring you out after you talk more." The other little lady glared and turned around to threaten.

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, you can watch it as long as you like." The threatened little lady bowed her head and sighed.

The other little lady ignored her and quietly watched the field, her eyes full of smiles.

After a strong man passed the first level, he stood in front of Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai put pen to paper: "Name, place of origin, age, how to make a living?" ”

The strong man replied: "Xiangzhou Xue Wang, twenty-seven, blacksmith." ”

After Jiang Kai finished writing, he said: "Xiangzhou Xue Wang, pass the second level, go to the next level to register." ”

Xue Wang hugged his fists and thanked him, turned around and came to the second table to wait. After the previous person received the money and left, he stepped forward to report his origin: "Xiangzhou Xue Wang." ”

Yang Congyi glanced up at him and asked, "Why did you join the army?" ”

Xue Wang replied: "Take back my family's land." ”

Yang Congyi was stunned when he heard this, stopped his pen and looked at the person in front of him, he was not small, and he really dared to say it.

"Make it clear."

Xue Wangdao: "My lord, my family was originally in Xiangzhou, the gold thief went south, and the land at home was all gone, and I Xue Wang joined the army just to take back my family's land one day." If the adults don't recruit the army and don't fight the gold, I'll go back to the iron. ”

Yang Congyi got up and walked in front of Xue Wang.

When everyone saw Yang Congyi suddenly get up and stepped forward, they were all shocked, and they surrounded the audience, talking to each other, whispering, what's wrong?

Xue Wang was also nervous in his heart, but looking at the recruiting officer with a smile on his face, he didn't feel malice.

Yang Congyi stretched out his hand and patted Xue Wang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Iron should also be struck in the army." How many good things the gold thief robbed us, and if we don't snatch it back, we will be men in vain! ”

Xue Wang clasped his fists and bowed, and said loudly: "Xue Wang, I am willing to join the army!" ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Okay, men should have the ambition to regain the land." Tell me the truth, have you ever been in a barracks? ”

Xue Wang replied: "A few years ago, I fought with Han Shuai as a gold thief, and after the peace was negotiated, I left the barracks and went home to strike iron. ”

Yang Congyi said a few times in a row, and said loudly: "Since you have beaten the gold thief, you are a meritorious person, temporarily appoint you as the detention officer, and then make an appointment after the completion of the army." ”

Xue Wang immediately saluted again: "Thank you, sir." ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Get the settling-in allowance first, arrange everything at home, and report to the barracks." After saying that, he turned around and took two pieces of money and handed it to him.

Xue Wang took the money and thanked him again. After that, he asked: "My lord, I have a group of fellow villagers, all of whom are from Xiangzhou, and they also want to join the army, can I bring them here?" ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Yes, the more the merrier, you can bring it, but you have to follow the recruitment rules." ”

Xue Wang replied: "Okay, listen to the arrangement of the adults." ”

"Go, in five days, come and report."

Xue Wang was extremely excited, and walked like a fly to say goodbye and leave. Just signed up to serve as a detainer and manage fifty people, this is a chance, and more importantly, this army wants to fight gold thieves, with this article, this army must enter.

The recruitment continued, and there were more and more applicants who could pass the three levels, and the recruitment scene did not stop, and the episode of Fang Cai was soon forgotten by the onlookers. I only remember that someone was awarded the post of detainer on the spot, what is the detainee, they don't know, why they were conferred, and they won't care about the in-depth investigation, this scene will become their after-dinner conversation, and there will be nothing else left.

The sun set, the recruitment stopped, and the few people who did not recruit dispersed.

Today's recruitment is very smooth, and there are more than 100 people, and there are more than 500 people in the past few days, and if we continue to recruit, we may be able to recruit more, but the recruitment time is limited, and it must be ended in two more days, and then the whole army will be pulled out for three days, and we will go to Huaining to converge.

I don't know how Huaining is recruited, and there is no news of them. However, Huaining is in Lord Chen, there should be no one to blatantly stumble, there are many people in Huaining, and it should be no problem to recruit four or five hundred people.

Zhao An recruited the forbidden army, I think it will not be too much of a problem, the recruitment is less than four thousand, three or two thousand should still be possible, in this way, the new army also has three or four thousand people, the combination of new and old, it will not take a few months to build.

On the issue of building the new army, Yang Congyi has been thinking a lot recently, if he can still serve in the army after the completion of the army, then he must build this army into a sharp sword that can command freely, and perhaps his fame will depend on this army to earn.

"My lord, someone brought a food box."

"What kind of food box, the people's things will not be collected, and they will be returned." Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, Yang Congyi, who was inspecting the roster, was disturbed by the officials.

"My lord, what I sent was two plates of dim sum, saying that the adults had worked hard to recruit the army, and they did it on purpose, and they came to comfort me."

"My lord, the distance from the city is not close, and if you don't accept it, it won't hurt the people's good hearts." Jiang Kai opened his mouth to persuade.

"Take it and take a look." Yang Congyi put down the roster.

The official opened the food box, took out two plates of dim sum and put them on the table, although the workmanship is not as good as Lin'an, it is also quite fine, this is not something that ordinary people can make.

The people have money and want to comfort them, this is a heart, but they can't accept it with peace of mind, the army must be disciplined, don't take a stitch from the people, and don't give it away, the chief officer does not set an example, and as soon as the atmosphere of collecting demands is opened, the whole army will have no discipline at all, although there are no soldiers in the camp yet, but this is an opportunity to teach a few people in front of them.
