In March, the weather is getting warmer, the temperature is rising day by day, and the shoots on the dead branches are gradually green.

The sky was blue 600 years ago, and the air you breathed could carry a hint of freshness.

Life is also very leisurely, especially the people in the capital, the pace of life is far less fast and tense than in later generations.

The recruitment of the Military Discipline Picket Brigade of the Inspectorate Division began.

According to Meng Yan's request, this time the picket brigade recruited 100 people, aged between 18 and 30 years old, as long as the family background is innocent and the conduct is good.

The registration is very popular, and the street at the entrance of the inspection department is almost comparable to the temple fair, there are only a hundred places, but hundreds of people come.

Choosing one of seven or eight people, the eyes are all picked, it is even more difficult than picking a daughter-in-law!

This joins Jinyiwei, which is the iron rice bowl of later generations, and can also change from a civilian household to a military household, which is an iron rice bowl, which is not much worse than the civil service examination of later generations.

In this recruitment, Meng Yan moved a set of physical examination methods for conscription physical examination in later generations to the Ming Dynasty.

There was a long queue in front of the yamen of the inspection department, and the recruitment flow chart was clearly pasted on the huge notice board.

On the side of the notice, there is also a special official handing out notices, which are printed with the recruitment process of the inspection department, as well as pointed heads and pictures, which are simple and easy to understand.

"The recruitment time is three days, after three days, no waiting, everyone first go here to get a registration form, fill in according to the above requirements, can not write, you can ask the office temporarily hired documents to help fill in, this is paid to fill in. Fill out one, three pennies! ”

"Stone, do you count this as an opportunity to make money?" Guo Nu pointed to the official who was holding a roll and shouting loudly on the platform.

"You can't let people work in vain, some of these people are low-ranking people, living in the capital, living in difficulty, and some are difficult students in the country, I do this, but also to give them a chance to earn money." Meng Yan explained.

"I'm afraid that your good intentions will not end up with a good reputation?" Guo shook his head angrily and smiled.

"My reputation is not important, I can help these people who have been studying hard for ten years." Meng Yan said with a smile.

The person in charge of the physical examination is Shen Cong. Twenty apprentices and healers were picked up from the Tai Hospital. After a brief training, they were divided into three groups and started working.

The physical examination standards formulated by Meng Yan himself are similar to those of later generations of conscription physical examinations. Slight changes.

After the standards are developed. Meng Yan handed over the recruitment to Tang Xiao. is fully responsible, and he can't do everything himself, the acting director of the inspection department, right?

The recruitment site was crowded. It's almost time for the temple fair to catch up with the market.

"Zhao Nanxing, how old are you?"

"Twenty-four."

"Open your mouth and I'll see?"

"Ah......h

"The teeth are all gone, not qualified!" The doctor in charge of the facial features test directly knocked a blue "unqualified" stamp on the registration form.

"Next!"

The one named Zhao Nanxing left very depressed!

Vision Screening Clinic:

"Look, which way is this facing?"

"Left, Right, Left ......"

"Which way is it going?"

"I look left, but a little bit to the right......"

"The naked eye vision is too poor and unqualified, next!

……

Height Check:

"Brother, haven't you seen the recruitment criteria for the picket brigade of the Patrol Division?"

"I saw it, I just came to apply, my family background is innocent, you see, this is the certificate that Fang Zheng gave me!"

"Brother, your height is about the same as Wu Dalang, we want at least five feet eight inches, but you, only five feet three inches, unqualified!"

"Why don't you want me, I'm not shorter, you discriminate against people......"

"Haha, three inches, let's go back, this brocade guard is not something that anyone can enter!" The man at the back of the line laughed.

"I know martial arts, and none of you seven or eight of you are my opponents!" The five-foot-three-inch man said excitedly.

"Haha......"

"This brother, if you really have a specialty, you can leave the registration form first, we may need some special talents, so it is also possible for you."

"Really?"

"It's true, but it's impossible to get into the picket brigade!"

"In it, as long as you can enter the Jinyi Guard, you can be an errand under Meng Qingtian, my mother said, Meng Qingtian is a good person, and he is not wrong!"

"Stone, I didn't expect these people to come for you?" Guo Nu and Meng Yan, who were dressed in civilian clothes, walked among the recruiting crowd, but no one recognized them.

"Huh."

"This uncle, you also want to join Jinyiwei, but unfortunately at your age, people are afraid that they don't want it."

"Hehe, I'm here to inquire about the situation for my son, and when I turn around, I'll call him over to apply."

"Yes, that's right, this is a difficult opportunity, uncle, you don't know, this Jinyi Guard Patrol Division is the best yamen in Jinyiwei, not only the official is good, this welfare treatment is good, there are several kinds of this allowance, which adds up to more than the imperial court!"

"Yes, then I'll hurry back and get that bastard boy over, such a good yamen, he didn't come......" When the uncle heard this, he was anxious, and he hurriedly ran out of the crowd.

"Stone, looking at the posture, I'm afraid there are more and more people, is your movement a little bigger?" Guo Nu said with some concern.

"We originally thought that there would be about five or six hundred people to apply for the recruitment in three days, so that one of the seven or eight would be selected, and it would finally be a good choice, but we didn't expect that this is just the beginning of so many people, and at the end of the day, I am afraid that we will be picky." Meng Yan also saw that the estimate was underestimated.

"It seems that a hundred people in your picket brigade of the Patrol Division are too little, add another hundred people!" Guo said angrily.

"Add another hundred people, can the emperor agree?"

"There's no problem with this, you made the recruitment so big, it is estimated that the emperor will already know about it at this time, so you have to write an excerpt and hand it over to explain the situation. Adding a hundred people is not a big problem. ”

"Understood, then our original plan remains unchanged, and the number of places will be increased by another hundred?"

"After your recruitment, isn't there still a training camp, and isn't there an elimination rate in the end?"

"The elimination rate is about one-third!"

"Don't go back the one-third that has been eliminated, just give it to the judge, she needs manpower there, a lot of people died last time, and there is a shortage of supplements." Guo Nu commanded.

"I've eliminated it here, do you still want it from the judge's side?"

"Your method of selecting people is too strict. The one who picked it out must be no worse. After your training, it will definitely not get worse, the judge will not want it, he will not want it. I'm going to. Guo said angrily.

"Uncle is too high for me!" Meng Yan said with a sneer.

"If the imperial court recruits according to your standards. I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit many qualified soldiers. Guo shook his head angrily.

"Does the imperial court still need to recruit soldiers?" Meng Yan Road. This guard system has not been corrupted to the point of the later stage, the father died and the son succeeded, and the current Ming Dynasty should not lack soldiers. What is lacking is a system that stimulates the combat effectiveness of the army.

"Although the guard system can ensure the continuous flow of soldiers, over the years, how many military households have fled in the local and border passes, and some have deliberately evaded military service, and you know a little bit about the situation in Beijing, and how many elites are left?"

"Twenty-three out of ten, right?" Meng Yan Road.

"There are about 500,000 battalions and squads stationed in Beijing on the roster, but the actual number is only about 300,000."

"300,000 people, a lot?"

"There are quite a few, among these 300,000 people, at least half of them are Tuntian soldiers, and the training time throughout the year does not add up to ten days, basically once a month, and there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people with combat effectiveness, and these 780,000 people are not subordinate to each other and cannot be commanded in a unified manner. Guo said angrily.

"Uncle, let's take care of the three points of Jinyiwei's acre."

"Hehe, stone, you're right, what the hell do you do, it's still very good for you to do this conscription physical examination, and if you recruit soldiers in the imperial court in the future, you can learn from it." Guo said angrily.

"If Uncle wants to learn, the stone will never hide his selfishness." Meng Yan smiled.

"You dare!" Guo glared.

"Uncle, I still have ...... here"

"Okay, you can get busy, I'll see for myself here." Guo waved his hand angrily, ignoring Meng Yan at all.

"My lord, these are a few good seedlings found, you can take a look at them first." Back in the duty room, Tang Xiao knocked on the door and came in with a smile.

"Look at the way you smile, it's like digging up gold ingots." Meng Yan quipped.

"My lord, these are worth a lot more than gold ingots." Don laughed.

"I'll see."

"Wang An, a native of Cangzhou, is fifty-nine years old, good at guns, and is twenty-six years old." Meng Yan read it out.

"This Wang An, whose parents died, originally came to the capital to find a job to take care of the family, who knows, it is not a good thing to meet a few masters, although it will not be enough to ask him to kill people and set fires, but it is by no means a good thing, and it didn't take long to be blasted out."

"Does this guy have too much sense of justice, and he loves to fight unevenly?" Meng Yan asked with a smile.

"My lord is right, this adult feels relieved when you see him, and blame his father for giving him a name called Wang An." Don laughed.

"This Wang An is quite suitable for our picket brigade." Meng Yan put down and said.

"Tang Yong, Tang Xiao, isn't this your relative?"

"No, no, this Tang Yong has nothing to do with the mark, you see, this place of origin is different, and the mark has also been asked, this person is also from a practicing family, and his sword skills are good."

"This Hua Qingfang has been an Orion for generations, and his archery skills are outstanding......"

Meng Yan took a look, and Tang Xiao selected some people who had kung fu and a skill, and they all looked good, but none of them entered his eyes.

It's not that these people aren't good enough, these people are really good, they can become talents with a little training, and it's hard to say that their future achievements are limitless.

It's that there is no talent in this that makes Meng Yan shine at a glance.

What kind of person makes him light up at a glance, in fact, this is not clear to Meng Yan in his heart, and there is no standard.

It's that feeling, it's a mysterious feeling.

Of course, Meng Yan was not too disappointed, talents are also hard to find, and gold also needs to be found and excavated.

"Your Excellency, don't you look at it again?" Tang Xiao saw that Meng Yan didn't seem to be in much interest, and he was devastated.

"This official has other official business to deal with, you leave these behind, and I'll take a closer look at it later." Meng Yan smiled slightly.

"My lord, you must see it, these are all good seedlings found under the mark." Don laughed.

"I know, I'll see it, you keep an eye on this recruitment for me, don't make a mess." Meng Yan commanded.

"Don't worry, I promise that there won't be any trouble." (To be continued......)
