There are two incidental goals before the tavern opens.

One of them, Teacher Lian, has been successfully abducted and captured, and there are still 100,000 gold coins left for Henry to lose in the bet.

But Iri wasn't going to ask for it.

He now earns close to five thousand gold coins an hour.

100,000 gold coins?

Hehe, it's just a matter of one day.

However, he was still going to talk to Henry, and it was a trivial matter to taunt and slap his face. During the half-month operation of the tavern, he found that there were many problems in the tavern, after all, the assassins acting as guards were not a long-term solution, and it was too wasteful of manpower, but it was okay to deal with it for a short time, and after a long time, the assassins should not be happy.

What he was thinking about now was whether the boy gang they had made should be expanded, and at least it shouldn't be a problem to do some perimeter protection.

Also, among the five taverns, Tianhuo Avenue has the best business, and although the other few are also popular, their competitiveness is inevitably a little worse, which is a bit of competition between their own and their own families.

In addition, although he won Henry in turnover, he did not achieve the crushing effect, which also shows the importance of differentiation, not everyone likes to be lively.

After thinking about it, he decided to adjust the business routes of the five taverns, the one run by Henry took the route of the Qing bar, concentrated on making wine, and did not engage in bells and whistles, and the one on Tianhuo Avenue was the largest and most functional, and it was operated according to the current model.

The other three were positioned as ballrooms and ballrooms, striving to be the most high-end banquet organizers in Atlanta, and by that time, the tavern was no longer just a place to drink, but a status symbol.

When he saw Henry, Henry was drinking alone and drunk, and Ari looked at him with some surprise, and even wondered if Loris had woken up, but in terms of temperament, it didn't look like it.

"Uncle Henry, you're drinking right now?"

Henry glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said angrily, "What, can't you drink a glass of wine now?"

Ari looked at him in surprise: "It's really you, don't you don't drink." ”

Henry said lightly: "The recipe of the wine has been deceived by you, and the gold coins have also been deceived by you, if you don't drink some now, won't I be wasted this time?"

Ari heard the meaning of his words, and his brows furrowed instantly: "You want to go?"

Henry poured himself another glass of wine, took a sip, and then said lightly: "When Clois wakes up, I should go." ”

"For the 100,000 gold coins?"

A disdainful smile appeared on Henry's face when he heard this: "It's just 100,000 gold coins, do I Henry care about those gold coins?"

"Then what if I don't want the 100,000 gold coins. ”

After speaking, Ari glanced at him, so that his attention was drawn, and then he said slowly, "And I can also give you fifty percent of the income of the tavern you run." ”

"Don't want 100,000 gold coins?" Henry was stunned.

"Yes, pay back the dividends!" said Ari nodded.

Henry sat there for a while, drank three glasses of wine silently, and suddenly stood up and walked outside, shaking his head as he walked and said, "It's okay that no one is watching at the tavern, it seems that it will be busy for a while." ”

"Well, it smells so good!"

......

That evening, in the conference room of the base?

Lilia and the others find Ari and discuss the matter of the Guard.

After the last selection in the afternoon, the preliminary selection of 2,000 ordinary soldiers and 600 knights has been completed, and only the last screening process is left, and they can be stationed in the barracks and declared an army.

"Eri, the army needs to have its own name, you are better at choosing a name, what is the name is better. Gal took the lead in raising a more important question.

Ai Rui didn't spoof again this time, thought for a while, and said: "Let's call it the Dragon Falcon, the Falcon Eagle turns into a dragon, the meaning is good." ”

"Dragon Falcon...... Sounds great. Several people read it in their mouths a few times, and they couldn't be more satisfied.

Seeing that they didn't have anything big to leave, Ari waved his hand at them and said, "I'll talk about other things tomorrow, I'll go and prepare for tomorrow's assessment, it's time for those spies to find out." ”

When Luo Lin heard him say this, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly followed and asked, "How did you find out about them?"

Ari waved his hand and said, "You'll know tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Ari and the others, accompanied by Jeff, went to the barracks together, accompanied by McKenna and several other Gar's guards, who will serve as the dragon falcon's battle supervision department, supervise the war during wartime, and be responsible for managing the discipline of the troops during training.

The military system of the Barak Kingdom is somewhat similar to the feudal system in the Western Middle Ages, but it is somewhat different.

In the Middle Ages, the armies of the West did not have ranks, and the troops led by the nobles were generally commanded by the nobles themselves, and the lower grass-roots commanders were held by knights.

In the event of a war, the king or the nobles issued a summoning order, and each nobleman led the knights and peasant soldiers in his own territory to gather at the designated place to fight.

The military system of the Barak kingdom was a little more centralized, with the vast majority of the army being appointed by the kingdom, and only a few of the great nobles having their own private soldiers.

When they arrived, more than 2,600 people had gathered in the open space of the barracks, and most of them were standing there crookedly and laughing. In the middle of the clearing, a procession of less than a quarter of the crowd stood silently, each of them wearing armor and holding a long sword.

Ari knew that this group of people should be the knights who had been recruited, and their powerful bodies were much more burly than the others, and Ari nodded, and his gaze swept over them.

For those who are undisciplined, Ari doesn't care, before today, some of these people were ruffians, some were farmers, and it was obviously too much to want them to have good discipline.

Waving behind him, the guards who followed him stepped out and placed the urgently printed exam papers on the table at the front of the line.

Ari nodded at Jeff, Jeff nodded, walked from behind Gal to the front of the team, pulled out the long sword at his waist and slammed it into the ground, and shouted: "From now on, everyone is not allowed to talk to each other, not to move around at will, not to discuss privately, and those who violate the order will be regarded as giving up their places directly!"

Jeff looked around coldly and continued: "Now, if anyone still has questions, they can raise their hands to ask, if there is no problem, start queuing up to get the coupons, and then make the questions on the test paper within the specified time, those with excellent grades will be given priority when running for officers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some people raised their hands, and some people had hesitant looks on their faces.

Jeff ordered one of them, and the man quickly asked loudly, "What if I can't read?"

"We have specially arranged someone to evaluate you, and the questions are the same as those on the test paper, but even if you pass the assessment, you will not participate in the selection of officers for the time being. ”

Hearing Jeff say this, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

Someone shouted in the crowd: "Why is it that everyone has the same assessment questions, and they deprive our officers of their rights just because they are illiterate?"

Someone chimed in: "It's just that I've never heard of the need for officers to be literate." ”

Jeff burst out with momentum and shouted, "No noise, first warning! Another time, all those involved will be eliminated!"

The crowd fell silent in an instant, and Jeff said coldly: "As the duke's personal guard officer, you must have a certain amount of knowledge, only in this way can you understand the duke's orders in time." And after passing the assessment, I will arrange time for you to give lessons, and you must master the commonly used words!"

"Now the illiterate ones are out of the queue, gather on the left!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and about half of the people walked out of the group, and when Ari saw this, he immediately frowned, beckoned McKenna over, and asked, "So many people are illiterate?

McKenna said with a wry smile: "The vast majority of the conscripts are mercenaries and farmers, and their cultivation talents are too ordinary, there is no way to enter the academy, where is the opportunity to read." ”

"Okay, after the assessment, the cultural class must keep up, this task will be handed over to you, well done, the commander of this army may let you take up the position in the future." ”

McKenna knew the weight of Ari's words, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Yes, I must hurry up and urge them to study!"

"Well, go ahead and arrange for someone to evaluate them. ”

By the time a thousand people were dragged to another place for assessment, there were less than 1,500 people left on the scene, and all of them 600 knights remained.

The questions from Ai Rui are not difficult, most of them are some basic common sense, the difficulty is not great, and it can even be said to be simple, it is estimated that people who have been on the mainland for a few years should have no problem.

Time passed quickly, and when the questions were accepted, Ari handed over the answers to the crowd and asked them to screen out some of the people who met the requirements.

Gal looked at the questions that Eri had deliberately indicated the key points of, and also asked those who answered these questions to be within the scope of the screening, and immediately felt a little puzzled, they were all common sense questions of some nobles, and he didn't see anything wrong with these questions.

So, he asked curiously: "Is it possible to become an officer if you answer these questions correctly?"

"Of course...... No. Seeing his confused face, Ari immediately laughed happily: "Do you think these topics are very simple?" ”

"Yes, for example, the fourteen questions you highlighted, please name the five nobles of Atlanta, is there any special meaning to this question?"

"For you, it's easy, but as an ordinary soldier, can you know five nobles, can this be an ordinary person, you must have this kind of insight if you have been around the nobles for a long time, so the probability of spies appearing among these people is the greatest, first single them out, and it is not difficult to find them out through detailed analysis of other topics. ”

"What if they don't read?"

"Are you sending a spy to find someone who doesn't know a word?"

"What if he pretends not to read?"

Was, if he rolled his eyes, he said: "Unless they don't want to be officers, they will definitely answer these questions." Is it just that you sent a spy just to be an ordinary soldier?"

Gal thought for a moment and smirked, "What you said seems to make sense." ”

Lilia, who had been listening silently all the time standing next to her, suddenly asked, "But why do you want to investigate those who have high scores, not only to investigate where they come from, but also to ask them to introduce their own general itinerary for the past year, and what is this for?"

Ari said: "A high score in the assessment shows that he knows a lot of things, don't you notice that most of my questions are very simple, and many of them are related to nobles?"

When he said this, Ari's face was confident: "As long as he wants to get a high score, I can even know who sent the spy from him,"

"What about introducing yourself?"

"If a person wants to lie, he must use countless lies to fulfill the lie, and the more I ask, the easier it is for him to reveal what he cannot justify, and if he grasps a question, he will collapse completely. ”

Rollin listened to it for a long time, and felt that although he didn't understand, he always felt that Ari seemed to be very powerful.

Next, Ai Rui and the others did not stay in the barracks, because the operation was more complicated, and the result did not come out so quickly.

So Ari handed over a set of assessment and screening processes to Jeff, and returned to the base to wait for the results of the analysis and the final list.

It is not too difficult for Ai to find out the spies, those nobles who sent spies have too little preparation time to make up a perfect set of identities, as long as they investigate carefully, there will always be results, what he has to do now is to narrow down the investigation circle.

As for whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net, he doesn't care, the nobles send spies just easily, and Ari pulls out the spies just to show his attitude.

What's more, the guy who can pass his test is also a talent, and it falls into his hands, and making the best use of it is the last word.

In the end, when the report was submitted, there were only more than 300 people who met all the conditions, and more than 100 of them were knights.

Jeff stood in the study and whispered to Ari on the other side of the desk, "There are more than a hundred knights on the list, but it should be normal for knights to know about some nobles......"

Ari glanced up at him and said with a smile: "Just tell me which ones were sent by Tolkien, the proportion of knights should be quite large, are there two hundred." ”

"I can't hide it from you," Jeff smiled bitterly, took out a list from his arms, and said, "Almost two hundred people, here is their list." ”

Ari didn't take the list from him, but said, "I won't look at the list, just know what you know." ”

After a pause, Ai Rui suddenly laughed: "Actually, it's not bad to stay, if there is anything difficult to deal with in the future, let them do it." ”

Jeff: "......"

I can't open my eyes, and I'll get up tomorrow morning to revise it
