Chen Wenzhao looked at this banner with the word "Qi", and suddenly burst into tears, choked up and asked, "Ji ...... Hime-sama...... This...... This flag ......"

Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "I sent someone to make this flag overnight. It's a pity that the level of weavers in Yiwu city is average, and the quality of the flag is mediocre, so when I return to Suzhou, I must ask the best royal craftsmen under the weaving yamen to make a better flag. ”

Chen Wenzhao, a sturdy man in his forties, had tears on his face, and said tremblingly: "Okay, good, Lord Ji can have such kindness, Chen thanked him first...... Thank you......"

It took a long time for him to calm down his excitement, wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, coughed lightly twice, and finally said in a tone that was no longer hoarse: "Lord Ji, it's not too early, so let's start recruiting soldiers, right?" ”

Ji Qingwen nodded, which was regarded as a promise.

At this time, there were already countless Yiwu youths, who saw the banner of the word "Qi" from afar, put down their work and gathered over.

Seeing this, Chen Wenzhao waved at everyone and said: "Under Chen Wenzhao, Yiwu City is somewhat famous, today I and this Lord Ji set up this 'Qi' word banner here, there is an important matter, I want to discuss with you." ”

Someone in the crowd immediately chimed in: "Uncle Chen, if you have something, just say it!" ”

Chen Wenzhao bowed his head and said: "This Lord Ji is the Weaving Admiral of Suzhou, and he knows that after the whole army of my 'Qi Family Army' was wiped out in the first year of the Apocalypse, he will no longer be famous in this world. Therefore, Lord Ji wants to re-recruit Yiwu children here, as a village warrior group training, and the salary will naturally be paid in full, so as not to chill the sergeants. ”

"Uncle Chen made it clear, when you become a soldier of Lord Ji, how much money can you get a year?" Someone in the crowd immediately asked.

Chen Wenzhao immediately replied: "One person has fifty taels of silver a year, and eating, drinking, pulling, and sprinkling are all supplied by the weaving yamen. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an immediate commotion in the crowd - it was obvious that the fifty taels of silver that had been eaten and lodging this year had deeply moved everyone.

Chen Wenzhao said again: "Fifty taels of silver is only a fixed amount of silver every year. If you train hard and fight hard, you will naturally be rewarded. Ji-sama, are you right? ”

Ji Qingwen listened to Chen Wenzhao's question, and saw that the faces of the young people in Yiwu who gathered were full of excited expressions like "becoming the CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, and walking to the pinnacle of life", so he took advantage of the water and mud and said: "That's right." To tell you nothing, I have prepared a military salary of one hundred taels of silver for each person, and as for whether you can get it or not, it depends on your ability! ”

The crowd that was originally whispering, when they heard Ji Qingwen's reply, immediately burst into flames, and the noise calmed down after a long time, but someone asked: "There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm." The words of the court have never counted, and I don't think this Lord Ji may be reliable, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately coaxed: "Yes, fifty taels of silver, and one hundred taels, you say it well, can you handle it?" ”

It's a pity that all the silver that can be mobilized in Ji Qingwen's hands is sealed in the Suzhou Weaving Yamen, otherwise 30,000 taels of silver will be taken out of the treasury and placed neatly in front of everyone's eyes, and the suspicions of these people will naturally disappear.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the Jinyi Guard, who came with Ji Qingwen, commanding the servant Li Yuanyin, to take a step forward, arched his hand towards everyone, and said loudly: "Have you seen the flying fish suit I am wearing?" See this embroidered spring knife on my waist? The last general is Li Yuanyin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and what Lord Ji Qingwen said today is guaranteed by me. If he dares to accumulate the military salary he owes you in the future, I will naturally come forward and use military law and national law to punish his crimes! ”

Li Yuanyin's words were murderous, even Ji Qingwen couldn't help twitching his face when he heard it, and thought: Aren't you playing a trick on me, if I am unlucky another day, won't you Li Yuanyin be the first to fall into the well?

However, he couldn't say these two words in his heart, so he had to smile and nod in agreement.

After all, Jinyiwei is full of prestige among the people, and with Li Yuanyin's assurance, the noisy crowd immediately quieted down a lot.

But I heard someone say: "Officials protect each other." Jinyiwei also bullied and oppressed the good people, and the officials all wore a pair of pants......"

But Chen Wenzhao interrupted him and said, "Everyone, you can't trust Lord Ji, you can; If you can't believe this Jinyi Wei Li, it's okay. But my Chen Wenzhao is a person, everyone can finally trust it, right? ”

As he spoke, he glanced around the crowd with cold eyes, and when he saw that no one had any objections, he continued: "Chen's personality has always been a mouthful of spit and a nail. Today is Lord Ji recruiting the township warriors to practice, not the imperial court pulling the strong ding. It's all something you want me to do. If you think that the reward of 50 taels of silver and the reward of up to 100 taels are too eye-catching, you can naturally stay and sign up. If you don't think it's enough money to feed your family, or if you think we're blowing a conch, you can just turn around and leave, so why bother here? ”

When these words were settled, the onlookers were immediately silent, but none of them left.

So Chen Wenzhao said again: "If you want to earn this bit of silver, you may not have this fate." I, Chen Wenzhao, am the descendant of the Qi family's army, so I naturally recruit troops according to the method of the old general Qi Jiguang. First, if the family is an only child, or the brother is already in the army, it will not be accepted! ”

As soon as he said this, some people began to hang their heads.

"Second, those who have suffered lawsuits, or those who have served as errand servants in the government, will not be accepted!"

When many people heard this, they began to complain indignantly: "What kind of rule is this? If you don't accept the lawsuit, forget it, where will the errand for the yamen offend you? ”

Chen Wenzhao listened to their complaints and said coldly: "It's useless for you to complain here. These are the rules set by the old general Qi Jiguang, if you have any opinions, mention them to his old general! ”

Qi Jiguang was extremely famous in the Yiwu generation, and Chen Wenzhao raised his name out and immediately subdued the crowd.

So he said: "Third, we are recruiting warriors who go into battle to kill the enemy, not cowards who are powerless!" Oh, that stone over there, you can come and sign up by holding around this bookcase! As he spoke, he pointed to a boulder by the side of the road.

The people looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, they saw a stone the size of a wine jar buried in the dirt - this inconspicuous stone had been at the gate of the city for an unknown amount of time, and passers-by never looked at him more, but they did not expect that today would become the key to their own fate.

After Chen Wenzhao finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd again, some people exchanged heads, some people lowered their heads to ponder, and some people watched, but no one dared to go up and try their skills.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Huang Degong say: "Boss, I want to move this stone, okay?" ”

Ji Qingwen was looking at no one who dared to apply, and he was a little irritable in his heart, and when he heard Huang Degong's words, he immediately reprimanded: "Are you full?" What's the trouble? How much money do I give you a hundred taels less every year? Stay for me! ”

Huang Degong was stunned, muttered and retreated, but unexpectedly Chen Wenzhao said, "Why does Lord Ji have to be like this? This brother surnamed Huang wants to try his skills, so it doesn't hurt. Alas! It's just that my Qi family's army lost all their losses in the battle of Hunhe, but I didn't expect that the blood in the chest of the Yiwu disciples would also disappear......"

This is the method of agitation.

Among the people present, only Li Yan heard the meaning of Chen Wenzhao's words, and smiled silently, even Ji Qingwen and Li Yuanyin only thought that Chen Wenzhao was sighing in vain.

Huang Degong's intestines were as straight as a stick, after hearing Chen Wenzhao's words, and seeing that Ji Qingwen had no objection, he rolled up his sleeves, walked to the stubborn stone, circled around the stone twice, moved his muscles and bones, and then leaned down, put a big hand on the stubborn stone, and shook it vigorously.

Huang Degong was born with divine power, and although the stone was heavy, it was inevitably shaken by him like this.

In this way, Huang Degong naturally had confidence in his heart, and said: "This stone is also on the ground, and there is not much buried in the soil, and the weight is not heavy, then I will carry it!" ”

After that, Huang Degong bent his legs, squatted down, hugged the stubborn stone with both hands, and shouted: "Bah! ”
