Li Xiao held the stone in his hand and pretended not to be interested in the Danfang. dragged Zhang Laodao and Chen Fu to play elsewhere and played until dark. As usual, it was a dinner party, and during the banquet, Li Xiao told Chen Fu about recruitment. Chen Fu agreed, and said that the Penglai County Commander was friends with him. You can pick strong men in Penglai without any problems.

"Fifth master! Tomorrow we will start recruiting, this is the purpose of our visit this time. But after recruiting, you have to stay. Li Xiao found the fifth master in the room, left the mouse outside, and whispered to the fifth master.

"Stay? Do what? "The fifth master was a little puzzled, aren't they just recruiting soldiers this time?

"This!" Li Xiao took out the stone in his hand and said.

"This?" The fifth master took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, as if it was a stone. But if you look closely, it's a little different. The surface of the stone is light brassy with brownish, yellowish-brown spots. It doesn't seem to be quite the same as a normal stone!

"This is what I found at the door of the Penglai Pavilion Dan Room, there must be this kind of stone in their Dan Room."

"This stone is valuable?" The fifth master's eyes lit up suddenly.

"It's not precious, but this stone has a special purpose. All you have to do is find the mine of this stone. Then buy a lot, and we will need a lot of this stone in the future. If you can buy in large quantities, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more. Li Xiao said solemnly.

"Don't worry! It will be done! ”

Early the next morning, Li Xiao took the fifth master and the mouse to Penglai Mansion, and Ao Canghai would bring a boat to pick them up the day after tomorrow, and they didn't have much time. Chen Fu had already said hello, and the notice had been posted three days ago.

I heard that there is a salary of two taels of silver a month, and the day of signing up can be described as crowded. The people who came to sign up surrounded the entrance of the yamen with three layers inside and three layers outside. Li Xiao took a look, and there must be fifteen thousand if there were not 20,000. I didn't expect that a salary of two taels of silver could attract so many people. If you say that you can add money after becoming an officer in the future, then you don't trample yourself to death.

Li Xiao was not in a hurry, because he already knew in his heart what kind of people he was recruiting. The first point is to be honest!

When the musket team was formed on the island, Li Xiao had already tasted the sweetness. Honest people usually have a good obedience and are absolutely able to do what is ordered. This kind of personality, which is often bullied, is actually very suitable for group life.

The second is to be in good health, the skeleton of the dragon's descendant chicken is definitely not in the scope of Li Xiao's recruitment.

Those who have been mixed on the streets, tattooed with words on their bodies, absolutely not. People who like to embroider their legs can't use it, people over the age of 40 can't use it, and people who have worked in government offices can't use it.

People who like to brag and talk can't use it, people who are timid can't use it, people who look white can't use it, and people with extreme personalities can't use it in order to ensure the mental health of the team.

Candidates who are admitted must also have the following characteristics: strong arms, strong muscles, eyes that are more focused, look more honest, longer hands and feet, and more afraid of the government.

To sum up, what Li Xiao is looking for is such a group of people: well-developed limbs, simple minds, honest, law-abiding and obedient to the government, daring to fight tough battles, daring to charge and not afraid of death, and muscular men with a stunned personality.

Shandong is a big man, and the ten miles and eight towns near Penglai are either fishermen or farming. Muscle men are not hard to find, in fact, seven or eight out of ten people who come here to sign up are muscle men. Everyone squeezed into a lump for a good errand of two taels of silver a month.

The audition is carried out by a mouse, and his job is simple. Don't be in bad health, don't have tattoos on your body. Don't be white, don't be a messenger in the yamen. As long as you pass the rat level, even if the audition is over and you will enter the next link.

The second level is the fifth master, as the big brother of the gang who has been on the streets all the year round. The fifth master still has a few brushes to see people! Those who dare not look at him are too timid to be used.

If you ask a question and answer ten sentences, you can't use it if you are suspected of talking. The eyes are straight and the eyes are straight and the eyes are sucking and the eyes are desperately not to. Don't look at people with your eyes, and don't look at people with your eyes.

After two rounds, only eight or nine hundred people were left among the tens of thousands of people who signed up.

Because the rules formulated by Li Xiao were clear and reasonable, eight or nine hundred people were selected from tens of thousands of people. This tiring job was completed in just one day.

The unsuccessful ones naturally go home and are honorably chosen. was left in the yamen, and Li Xiao had already said hello. Naturally, tonight's food will be taken care of, but there are not so many rooms in the yamen for them to sleep in. Everyone had to spend the night in the compound of the yamen, and the county magistrate said that the wormwood was enough.

In the evening, Li Xiao was pulled out by Chen Fu to drink again. Despite this period of contact, Chen Fu also knew that Li Xiao was an out-and-out little fox. But the old guy still didn't give up, and wanted to get something out of Li Xiao's mouth. Anyway, as long as you speak, it means information. As long as there is information, something can always be analyzed.

The facts once again made Chen Fu feel desperate, Li Xiao, this kid was slippery like a loach, even if he grabbed it in his hand, he would slip out. He will take whatever he throws himself. After that, before you can react, you leave the ground.

In the past, Chen Hailong said that Li Xiao was a character, but Chen Fu didn't believe it very much. Now that he believed it, this kid was indeed a character. It's also an extremely difficult character, and it looks like he's going to have to be careful with this little guy in the future.

The so-called hero is sad about the beauty pass, so I will arrange a little girl to go over tonight. I want to see if the little hoof can get something out of his mouth.

After drinking and driving away the maid who tried to stay in his room, Li Xiao lay down on the bed and was ready to sleep. His grandmother's, who knows if it's a rotten target that someone has broken. Lao Tzu, this is a new factory submachine gun, how can it be used on a bad target.

Early the next morning, Li Xiao found the fifth master and the monkey who were squatting for a night. The two of them hid on the roof of the house and watched it all night.

"Why are you wearing it so thick and not hot?" Li Xiao saw two guys wrapped like mummies, and asked a little strangely.

"They have wormwood underneath them and we are on the roof. Don't wrap it thickly, and don't feed the mosquitoes? Don't say it, you've written it down for us to write it down. Hurry up, or Lao Tzu will forget about it for a while. So sleepy! The fifth master yawned and complained.

"You! You! You! ……！ The fifth master named them in turn, and named out all the guys who kept complaining last night. If these guys who transmit negative energy stay in the team, they will delay big things when they encounter adversity.

After the roll call of the fifth master, the team was slimmed down again. From eight or nine hundred, it dropped to five hundred and thirty at once.

Li Xiao nodded, he was still quite satisfied with this number.

"Take them to the dock, Ao Ye's boat is almost there. It is very important to leave you a ship and get the stone done as soon as possible! ”
