There will always be winners and losers after a training session, so there should be rewards and punishments. This is basically the same as in later generations, for example, the losing side has to wash the socks and clothes of the winning side, and the winning side can add food. This attraction is great, so these people still work very hard when they train.

Zhang Lei took a big advantage at this time, and trained these people from not knowing anything to basic queues and turning left and right, which took Zhao Shichang a lot of effort. As a result, when Wang Kun was leaving, he was going to take ten people away with one mouth, and Zhao Shichang was distressed for a long time.

After running in the morning and doing a simple platoon, it's time to have breakfast. Breakfast seemed a bit simple to Wang Kun, but it was a sumptuous meal for these soldiers who used to be mud-legged.

In the morning there is rice porridge and occasionally fish and meat. At noon and in the afternoon, it is usually served with white rice, sometimes with simple greens, and sometimes with fish and meat. There is no way that this place in Nanyang is mainly rice, as well as fish and seafood. Therefore, food is not a problem at all for Wang Kun, who has money, and he will also provide meat dishes for the soldiers very generously.

Therefore, when Wang Kun recruited people later, there were still many people who wanted to participate, not for anything else, but they were mostly brushed off because they were too old.

Training in the morning is relatively simple, mainly running to improve the physical fitness of these people. At noon, there will be some relatively strict basic military training, such as lining up, standing in a military posture, turning left and right, walking in unison, and other basic military physical training. In the afternoon, there will be live-fire training with guns in the front hall.

As long as 200 people can go through such rigorous military training, Wang Kun is sure to lead them to completely occupy Manila.

After breakfast, Zhang Lei couldn't wait to start training the ten soldiers again. Wang Kun took Cheng Luo to drive the boat along the coastline all the way to the Singapore River, and then went upriver along the river.

Wang Kun's state of mind when he came to Lijia Village again was different, he was confused when he came for the first time, and he didn't know about the world. So when I saw that there was a Chinese village here, my first reaction was that we are all Chinese working hard, so we should help each other.

So when the three of them asked to enter the village, they were ruthlessly rejected by the other party. Then the embarrassed and angry three people opened the gate by force and walked into Lijia Village. Then, in the fear and vigilance of the people of Lijia Village, they could be regarded as getting the answer they wanted.

Then there were several 'friendly' trade exchanges, and the two sides were considered to have established a preliminary 'friendship'.

Wang Kun first used the devil's means, and then showed the bodhisattva's heart, and after comparing the before and after, the village chief of Li Village believed that Wang Kun and the three of them were not malicious, but they were still on guard everywhere.

The boat slowly docked at the river's edge, and because the water depth on the inland river bank was not enough, Wang Kun unloaded the kayak from the back of the boat and rowed to the shore.

Seeing Wang Kun and Cheng Luo coming again, the people of Lijia Village on the shore had already run back to the village to report to the village chief.

So when Wang Kun got ashore, there was already a group of Lijia Village villagers with weapons waiting on the shore.

Seeing this formation, Cheng Luo walked out first and said, "In person, is it the head of the Li family?" The rudeness of the junior has been offended before, and I can't compensate the patriarch here! ”

After speaking, Cheng Luo immediately kicked Wang Kun's ass, and then said: "Don't you hurry up and compensate Patriarch Li!" ”

Wang Kun seemed to be really an ignorant junior, so he hurriedly stepped forward to learn from Cheng Luo and said: "The kid has offended a lot before, so I can't compensate the patriarch here, and I hope that the patriarch will not be as knowledgeable as the little one, and Duoduo Haihan will forgive him!" ”

This was discussed between the two before, and Cheng Luo played the role of an elder to deal with Li Village. After all, Wang Kun's face looks too tender, and he can't give people the feeling that he can succeed.

Village Chief Li had heard that the three strangely dressed people were coming again, so he hurriedly gathered the laborers and strong men in the village to prepare to deal with it. I didn't expect that this time it wasn't the original three, and there was an elder, but this elder looked much more normal.

He was dressed in a long robe and coat, and he had a braid on the back of his head. This is like a person who has been educated by Wang Hua and Confucius Sage. It's like the three people before, not only cut off the hair of the affected parents, but also dressed as a barbarian, it's really unbelievable!

"Kid! It's just a lack of education, as the saying goes, the son doesn't teach the father, what's the matter with you parents, you look at the dress of your juniors. This...... This is simply degrading! ”

Hearing that the other party was soft, Village Chief Li became more and more excited the more he spoke. Why don't the family let these mud legs who don't obey the indoctrination let them read more sage books!

Wang Kun is really speechless, he has just been educated after being soft, and there is still humiliation! What have we insulted and weathered! No matter how you listen to this tone, it looks like a sour Confucian who reads!

Well! But more like a defender!

"Yes, what the old gentleman taught is that when they go back, they must read more sage books!" As soon as Cheng Luo heard it, he knew that the other party was a scholar, and he was even more respectful in terms of performance and tone.

In this day and age, there are very few people who read books, and they are also very respected! Because in the consciousness of ordinary people at this time, people who read books just know a lot, and they are all capable people. Moreover, the scholars themselves are also boasting that they are superior, especially 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'. It is even more scholars who hold themselves up to the sky.

Seeing Cheng Luo's performance, Patriarch Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm! Kids! It would be good to educate more in the future, and those of you who are elders should also work hard! Oh! By the way, I haven't invited you into the house for estuary tea! What a faux pas! Faux pas! ”

Wang Kun slandered in his heart, how is this a bit like the feeling of calling parents at school when he was a child!

After inviting Wang Kun and Cheng Luo, he then said to the surrounding villagers: "Okay! Let's all disperse! It's okay here! ”

Then Village Chief Li led the two of them to the village, while letting the villagers disperse, indicating that it was okay here.

"Hey! This person is really rude, he has been here several times, and today he remembered to bring the elders of the family to apologize! ”

"It's just that people who haven't read a book at first glance, it's too unruly, Xiaoqiang must follow the patriarch to read more books in the future?"

"But this is still because the elders in the family are not well educated, do you see the three of them dressed like words? And cut all the hair, it's a big rebellion! ”

"It's just a big rebellion, I was going to rush forward when the patriarch gave an order, and I must let them know that we are powerful!"

"It's that I was ready, but it's a pity that they relented, it's a pity!"

……

In the midst of the pity of the villagers, Wang Kun followed the village chief to his home. The people in the family brought the tea, and the tea utensils used did not look particularly rough.

"Huh! Guests deserve the best tea, but unfortunately, the whole village has rarely left this place since the whole village migrated many years ago. So this tea was gone ten years ago, so I asked the two of you to take care of it. ”

"There, Patriarch Li is polite, and we can't hide that we actually came here this time to ask Patriarch Li. We hope to be able to recruit some people in Li Village, and we need a lot of people to go to sea and we haven't recruited enough manpower. "According to the previous discussion, Cheng Luo plays the role of an elder, so this matter is brought up by Cheng Luo, which is easier to trust the other party.

"Oh? Hiring? How many people are you looking for? Hearing that the other party was going to recruit people, Patriarch Li immediately became vigilant, and in this era, recruiting strong labor is a strategic resource for every village. And they are also the breadwinners of every family, and young people are very important to both the family and the family.

"Patriarch Li doesn't have to be nervous! We hire people for wages! There are about four taels of silver per month! And we were stationed not far from the village, and every seven days we would give them half a day off to come back! As soon as Wang Kun saw that the other party was vigilant, he quickly showed his benefits.

"Oh? That's okay, but the main thing is that you can keep them coming back often, which is important. Because every family grows crops, if you recruit all the prime of life in the village, then our land may be wasted, which is absolutely impossible! ”

Hearing Patriarch Li say this, Wang Kun was relieved, and as for letting them come back often, Wang Kun also decided after careful consideration! First of all, the people here have almost no contact with people from the outside, and they are not familiar with themselves. So at Cheng Luo's suggestion, Wang Kun decided to give them half a day off every week! And send boats to send them back regularly, so that they come back often and their families are relieved!

"We know that, so we'll get them back every seven days. You can rest assured that we are not far from here. If you're not sure, we've got you covered. ”

"Old! Can't stand the bumps anymore! I don't have to watch it, and the juniors will tell me when the time comes. Didn't you say it, you're not far from here, and since you're neighbors, I don't think you will lie to me. Just because there are only two of you here this time, I can see your sincerity."

Wang Kun looked at the other party's smiling eyes, and he didn't understand what the other party meant. I really have no one, and I am confident in my own power, how can I become sincere?

But anyway, since the other party agrees, it's good, don't worry about it so much for now!

In fact, Wang Kun now recruits people for military training, and all of them are given six quick silver dollars a month. It's about the equivalent of four taels of silver, which is already more than those who work on the gold mines! They only get about four pieces of silver for a month in the gold mines, so there are still many people willing to join in the selection of soldiers among these miners.

Since the people of Lijia Village have not been in contact with the outside world all year round, they do not use a lot of silver, so they are not very clear about the concept of four taels of silver. So when I heard that it was four taels of silver a month, I didn't have much reaction.

Only Cheng Luo and Xie Wu were full of distress, recruiting a few Qiu Ba to give so much money, you are really popular! Do you know how much it is?

In fact, to be honest, Wang Kun and Zhang Lei really didn't know the purchasing power of four taels of silver at this time. He only knew that when Yuan Datou recruited troops in later generations, one person was given seven silver dollars. So Wang Kun felt that he should have less now, then six yuan.

This was decided when I was in Shilongmen at that time! At that time, Cheng Luo didn't want to get involved in too much of Wang Kun's affairs, so he didn't say anything at the time, but just thought that the young master of which family didn't know the suffering of the world and came out to make trouble!
