"Do you know what's going to happen next?"

Wang Tong asked with a smile on the wooden platform, but the six hundred people were divided into two teams, those who had the ability to martial arts stood on the right side, and those who relied on their strength to run through the level stood on the left side.

Hearing Wang Tong's question, the people below were a little strange, and the team on the right was a lot calmer, and they didn't make a sound when they looked at each other.

Eyes swept over and saw the left side wang tong looked at the age may be younger than most of the light clothes below, and asked with a smile and a smile everyone was also very relaxed.

"The adults have to take care of the small ones to eat and stay, and they have to give us robes and clothes, the little ones understand, and they can't let the adults spend all this money in vain, and we can't let the adults lose money if we work hard!"

I don't know if it was the articulate one who shouted this sentence out, everyone saw that the smile on the little adult's face was thicker, and felt that this answer was right, and immediately said:

"I'm a good farmer!"

"Serving the fields does not lose people, when the farming is busy, all the towns and villages rush to hire me to do short-term work......."

"Farm work is not good, but there is also a lot of strength, as soon as the canal is opened, there is a lot of labor, and the villain will earn a lot to carry the bag, and he will not lose the adult's food and house money."

There was a lot of commotion below, Wang Tong glanced at the people on the right, the people over there did not follow the coaxing, but their faces were not quite right.

Since the Jingjing, even counting the Tumubao Change, the Ming Dynasty has never had any major battles related to life and death, nor has there been any invasion that shakes the country's foundation, and the external enemy and internal strife can be defeated and annihilated with absolute superiority in manpower and financial resources, and it can barely be said that it has been peaceful for a long time.

After a long period of peace, the army gradually relaxed, and the generals did not devote their minds to training troops to fight, but pondered how to accumulate family property, promote officials and make a fortune.

Deducting military salaries is one of them, and using his officers and soldiers to open up wasteland for themselves is another, free labor, except for food, the rest of the harvested grain is owned by the army generals, if there are people who know how to work, then the situation is different, this work is always more profitable than farming.

This is the case with the military households in the guards, who are equivalent to the personal servants of the guards, farming and working, but there is no training or anything like that.

The soldiers in the brocade clothes of the Beijing division want to go to the street to collect money, and then hand it over layer by layer, which is also a similar thing, hearing Wang Tong's question, many of the recruits below naturally thought of the habits in the guard, and shouted out as common sense.

Seeing that the smile of the thousand households on the wooden platform was getting stronger and stronger, the people below thought that they were right, and the drum noise became louder and louder, and those on the right looked at each other and hesitated.

Wang Tong raised his hand and pressed down, the buzz in the audience quieted down after a long time, Wang Tong had a smile on his face, but his brows were frowned unnoticed, looking at the already crooked team below, now it is almost completely dispersed, Yu Ding, who chose the guard, has a relatively reliable identity as a military household, and can be guaranteed by his family, and he also feels that they are people organized by militarized reclamation after all, so they also need some basic training.

But looking at the situation in front of him, there are still a lot of things to do, and gradually the people in the audience also noticed that Wang Tong's face gradually sank, and the following began to be quiet.

Wang Tong stretched out his hand and pointed behind these selected young people, raised his voice and said:

"Look back, those people just didn't make the choice."

Many people saw what Wang Tong said before the queue, many young and strong laborers were carrying materials and building houses under the supervision of the construction and foreman, although the weather was quite cold, but these people were still tired and sweaty, and from time to time some people looked at the wooden platform with envy.

"They will build barracks for you again, as well as a school field for future training, and when the canal is opened, you will have to go there to do work to make money, just now the official heard that you are also going to do this, and you also want to make money for the official?"

Wang Tong raised his voice upward, everyone turned around, and did not dare to speak again, Wang Tong's face turned cold, glanced at the following glances, and said loudly:

"If you are asked to work as cattle and horses to earn money, why should the official spend so much effort to test you, all of them will be recruited, you will be able to eat well and eat well every day in the future, live comfortably, and dress warmly, but you will be ten times more tired than those who do work, and when you enter the Jinyi Guard, you must train you to make a look, so that you have the ability in your hands, and you can stand tall and meet people when you go out."

After saying impassionedly, the people on the left were stunned, but the expressions of the people on the right gradually became excited, Wang Tong waved his hand at Sun Dahai who was standing on the side, Sun Dahai took out a whistle from his mouth and blew it vigorously.

The voice was sharp, and everyone subconsciously covered their ears, but they saw a small square team not far away, jogging into the field, jogging is nothing, but fifty people are jogging in line but neatly and the same as when they stand still, this is different, those on the left feel that they look good running, and the team on the right has a shocked look on their faces.

At this time, four horsemen on horseback also ran in from outside, and the four men and four horses stood at the four corners of the small square team, which was an example of not moving there.

Wang Tong waved his hand again, Sun Dahai's whistle blew, and the four knights on the horse gave loud orders, which were very simple passwords for a single person.

A few steps forward, front and back, left and right special, pad step, the long pole in the hand is flat on the front stab, it is really simple for a single person, but this is a team of people, and the team on the left has a low laugh at the beginning.

As the actions progressed one by one, the uniform movements, and the meticulous execution of the password, the entire school field fell silent, and even the laborers who were carrying the building wood and stone not far away watched silently.

Dozens of people marched and retreated in the field like thousands of troops, and Sen Senran had the spirit of a large army, although there were hundreds of people standing under the wooden platform, which was several times that of these fifty people, but when everyone faced the team, they felt that if they stood in front of them, they would definitely be crushed to pieces.

"Close!"

With the shouts of the last man on the horse, dozens of people shouted in unison, and together they collected the sticks and stood there solemnly, from movement to stillness, and it was completed in an instant, if it were not for the dust still flying, everyone was wondering if the team had moved.

Xinding on the left was completely stunned, while Xinding on the right was shocked, Wang Tong was very satisfied with this effect, and said with a full breath:

"Recruit you, give you money, let you be fed and clothed, you have to practice like this, today I started running and practicing, there is a sentence that the official is also in front, the practice is not good, something goes wrong, the official will not drive you away, see that there is no selection over there, there are still many people waiting to come in, in the future, once a month, it is the survival of the fittest."

The word "survival of the fittest" is used, and the people below are dumbfounded and don't understand the look, Wang Tong coughed dryly, and the children of military families can read and write, but those are all studying for the imperial examination, who will come here to join in the fun.

Turning his eyes to the right, he saw a young man pouting, as if he understood the word, this young man had a thin and hemp stick-like figure, but he was standing on the right side, there must be some kind of expertise, but Wang Tong had seen too much, and he forgot what this person was good at.

Wait to inquire with Tan about them, and just as they were about to say the end, they heard someone on the right shouting:

"Lord Wang, do you want to practice some running queue with the little ones over there?"

looked at the voice and looked over, but it happened to be the young man who pouted, the young man who was like a thin hemp pole asked loudly, this person's hemp eyes are not big, his lips are also very thin, and his face is not comfortable, but there is a pride between his eyebrows and eyes.

Wang Tong smiled and asked:

"Why don't you practice, what qualifications do you think you don't practice!"

The tall and thin young man bowed and saluted, and then said in a loud voice:

"My lord, when the brothers standing here are at home, they have been boiling up their bodies every day, and they have practiced hard and practiced hard, so they have developed a skill, since they have entered the Jinyi Guard, they have to do errands for adults, not to do these introductory things."

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, pointed to the generals of the Tan family who were riding on horses over there, and asked loudly:

"You people have all competed with them yesterday, how are they better than you, are they much stronger!?"

For this question, no one denies it, they are all big nods, many people thought that they had a skill, even if they couldn't beat it, they could support it for a while, but they didn't expect to be overturned in a few clicks, most of them were the first time, the other party's magnificent law, everyone who has practiced knows that it is extraordinary, not to mention this equestrian, archery, etc., each is outstanding, and they don't feel how it is if they haven't practiced, but they are happy and convinced.

Seeing everyone's affirmation, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"They are so strong, they have to practice hard every time, the identity of the official, every time they have to practice hard, you have this ability, why don't you practice, and say hello in advance, just because you have the ability, so the practice will be harder, more than the left practice, on the right, the salary is higher than the left, but if you can't practice well, go to the left, the same reason, the left has practiced the ability well, come to the right."

After saying this, the newcomers who were divided into left and right sides burst into flames, all looking at each other, and their expressions were full of competition.

The effect was good, Wang Tong was very happy in his heart, and he raised his voice and asked the thin young man:

"What's your name!?"

"Hui Yu, the villain's surname is Ma, and his name is Yunkui."

Wang Tong nodded, and the new Ding below looked at this Ma Yunkui with very worried eyes, thinking that this person had just made a bird, and he was asked by the adult to be unlucky.

As soon as Wang Tong stepped off the wooden platform, a horse came running quickly, and one of the people on the horse shouted loudly:

"Master, there is a holy decree, hurry up and go home to receive the decree!!"
