July 21, 30th year of Zhengde.

It is advisable to open, start, put on the beam, and open the market.

Before and after the hour.

When the sky was bright, the camp of King Yan, located in the east of Fuyang City, was already crowded with young and strong people at this time.

Since July 6, the Yan Wangfu ordered Yan Di to recruit troops, and a full 15 days have passed.

Such a short period of time was not enough for the entire Yan Land to reach the Wang camp.

It is precisely because of this that most of the people who come here today are from Fuyang City and several surrounding counties, such as Zhulu and Jusu City.

There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.

At this time, outside Wang Daying, it is exactly in line with this saying.

And as time passed, there was still a steady stream of people coming outside Wang's camp.

In a private room on the third floor of an inn five miles away from Wang Daying.

Sun Daohua, who was not wearing official clothes, and Li Yu, who was dressed in short clothes, stood straight on the windowsill of the private room.

At this time, the sky outside the windowsill was already bright, and the soft sunlight was diligently throwing golden warmth on the earth.

However, the two of them standing on the windowsill of the private room on the third floor, staring out the window, seemed to have no sense of the warm sun at all.

Among them, Li Yu is the most.

The face with the shallow scar was already gloomy at this time, as if it were dripping water.

Li Yu stared out the window for a moment, and then retreated to the dining table with a gloomy face.

Pick up the wine jar next to the dinner table and slap the mud open.

Then he raised the wine jar as if venting and drank a few sips.

If it weren't for the gloomy look on his face, maybe he would have a bit of a heroic spirit.

Sun Daohua glanced at Li Yu without a trace, then retracted his gaze and continued to look out the window.

At this time, the people who had been recruited to join the army had already lined up from the king's camp to this inn.

And there is still an intensifying posture.

Sun Daohua stared at it for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly in his heart: "The benefits of living in a nursing home are terrifying. ，

As early as when the notice of the construction of a nursing home in Yanwangfu had just been posted, Sun Daohua had already seen the pros and cons of Xu Yi's move.

However, Sun Daohua never expected that Xu Yi's move would be terrifying.

Based on Sun Daohua's experience, it is naturally not difficult to see that there were at least nearly 20,000 young and strong people outside Wang Daying at this time.

And the entire Shanggu County has a population of only more than 500,000.

Among them, the elderly, weak, women and children were removed, and the people who could not get out of their bodies due to various factors were removed.

and then remove the young and strong who have already entered the army.

How many young people are left in the entire Upper Valley County?

However, there are now nearly 20,000 young people in this area alone.

You know, it's only been half a month since the recruitment notice was posted!

Even if many people who were far away from Fuyang City wanted to come, they couldn't catch up with this recruitment.

Thinking of this, Sun Daohua couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "He is going to wipe out all the young people in Shanggu County." ，

Just when Sun Daohua was distracted.

Li Yu had already swept away the jar full of wine.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the wine jar was slammed to the ground by Li Yu.

"Sun Junshou." Li Yu lowered his head and stared at the torn wine jar on the ground and said in a deep voice, "You said that he is a down-and-out prince who has been under house arrest for eight years, where did he get so much money?"

….

The prince has a high status of the first rank of the Son of Heaven.

There are far more than the cabinet scholars, six books of several times the Lulu.

There is a tax revenue of 10,000 households.

It has the privilege of going to the royal treasury for half of the spoils of victory.

It has the only salt income in the world.

But there are pros and cons.

The prince enjoyed far more treatment than the rest of the clan at the same time.

It also bears the risks that the rest of the clan does not need to bear.

In addition to this, the prince is stationed on the border,

The necessary expenses for the daily training of the three guard battalions, as well as food and other materials, are the responsibility of the prince himself.

In the event of war, the imperial court allocated half of the grain and grass, and the rest of the princes raised it themselves.

The pension required for the death of a soldier in battle was also shared between the court and the prince.

And this also means that even without the restrictions of the Great Zhou Law and the Sect Law, it is difficult for the prince to raise more than three full guard battalions.

If you don't raise soldiers, you don't know the hardships.

No matter how Li Yu is, he is also a captain who has been on the battlefield, and he has 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

He naturally knew in his heart that in order to keep his soldiers fighting at all times, the amount of money he needed to pay every day would be so much.

And now the food and salary mentioned in the recruitment notice posted by Xu Yi has far exceeded half of other military forces.

If Xu Yi really plans to expand all three guard battalions to full strength.

So, where did he get all this money?

Salary? Food Wanyi tax? Salt amount? Mineral? A big wedding gift? The princess's dowry? Emperor Zhengde's reward?

Even if all of these are counted, it is not enough to support Xu Yi's large-scale military training!

After all, since the founding of Emperor Taizu, there has never been a prince who has frantically recruited troops with such fanfare.

Li Yu's question is also a problem that has plagued Sun Daohua for a long time.

Sun Daohua turned to look at Li Yu, who was full of gloom, and shook his head slightly, "Old decay is always unknown."

Li Yu suddenly raised his head, and asked with a slightly hideous expression, "Sun Junshou, do you think there is a possibility that Xu Yi filled his pockets during the disaster relief in Guanzhong and embezzled a large amount of gold and silver?"

Sun Daohua's face turned pale when he heard this, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The look of surprise in Sun Daohua's eyes naturally couldn't hide from Li Yu, who was always staring at him.

Before Sun Daohua could speak, Li Yu clapped his hands and said firmly, "It must be so! It must be so!"

Sun Daohua opened his mouth and just wanted to say something.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu didn't give him a chance to speak.

As soon as the words fell, Li Yu immediately got up and ordered, "Sun Junshou will continue to keep an eye on it, and if there is any news in the future, inform me as soon as possible."

Before the words dissipated, Li Yu hurriedly rushed out of the door.

Sun Daohua looked at the door of the private room that was constantly shaking, and his face was full of indescribable expressions.

After the door stopped shaking, Sun Daohua walked to the door of the private room and closed it completely.

Sun Daohua walked back to the windowsill, his eyes flashed from the interests that were leaving quickly, and then he scolded in a low voice, "Idiot."

Although he didn't know where Xu Yi's money came from, even if he thought about it with his toes, he would never suspect that Xu Yi would fill his own pockets and embezzle disaster relief money.

….

Sun Daohua sighed heavily, and muttered secretly in his heart, "Wait, wait."

Just as Sun Daohua was about to turn around, an antique carriage suddenly broke into Sun Daohua's sight.

"That's?" Sun Daohua rubbed his eyes, looking at the carriage downstairs that was slowly passing through the crowd with a face full of disbelief.

A few breaths later.

Sun Daohua retracted his gaze, closed the windowsill and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that Old Lady Zhu has already made a choice."

The antique carriage that drove past the inn just now was the carriage of Zhu Huaimin, the old lady of the Zhu family.

The old lady of the Zhu family went to the king's camp in person on the occasion of recruitment, which naturally means that it is self-evident.

Sun Daohua muttered in a low voice in distraction, "What about me? And how to choose? Wait?"

......

......

Inside an antique horse-drawn carriage.

Zhu Zongbao looked up from time to time at Zhu Huaimin, who was sitting upright like a bell.

When I opened my mouth several times to say something

, but when I saw Zhu Huaimin, who was sitting like a bell and closing his eyes.

The words that were about to blurt out were swallowed by him stiffly.

As the carriage got closer and closer to Wang Daying, Zhu Zongbao became more and more like a pin.

Just when Zhu Zongbao was sweating profusely, Zhu Huaimin slowly opened his eyes.

"Master...... Grandpa......" Zhu Zongbao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead the size of soybeans with a weak heart, and greeted in a low voice, "...... Would you like tea?"

Zhu Huaimin looked at Zhu Zongbao calmly, and slowly asked, "Don't want to go?"

"No...... No...... I don't want to go." Zhu Zongbao stammered and shook his head repeatedly.

From the moment he was rescued by Zhu Huaimin from the county government, Zhu Zongbao completely lost his free body.

I don't know why, in the past, the old lady Zhu, who could only see him except for family banquets and sacrifices, would take her with her and train her by herself.

Because of this, I don't know how many children of the Zhu family are envious.

However, this kind of treatment is tantamount to another kind of prison for Zhu Zongbao, who is used to being wild.

When the news of the recruitment of troops from the Yan Wangfu reached the Zhu family.

Only then did Zhu Zongbao understand why the old lady Zhu, who was difficult to see in the past, would take him with him to train him personally.

And now, he's about to step into an even bigger cage, a 'cage' that will imprison him for the rest of his life.

Hearing this, Zhu Huaimin looked at Zhu Zongbao with deep eyes, and said calmly: "Remember, you are a child of the Zhu family, and you have the responsibility and obligation to share the worries of the Zhu family."

After the words fell, Zhu Huaimin closed his eyes again, leaving Zhu Zongbao alone in a daze.

......

......

Halfway through the hour.

Xu Yi, who was dressed in the usual clothes of the prince in black jade, slowly ascended to a battle platform in the Wang camp.

Xu Yi stood on the edge of the point platform, and his eyes slowly crossed over the crowds of young and strong people outside the village.

Seeing this, the corners of Xu Yi's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Obviously, his good intentions in building a nursing home and paying half a salary far more than half of the other princes were not in vain.

Xu Yi settled down, and while walking to the Taishi chair on the side, he ordered, "Order, open the camp gate!" Recruitment has officially begun!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Dengyun, Lu Wensu and the others immediately bowed and said, "The last general (minister) obeys the order!"

….

A moment later, the closed main gate of the Yanwang camp was slowly opened from the inside.

More than 100 soldiers slowly led countless young men to the school field in the camp.

As soon as Fang arrived at the school field in the camp, the young men who had not had time to look around were divided into more than a hundred long queues by more than a hundred soldiers.

At the front of each long dragon corresponded to a subordinate official of the Yan Wang's Mansion sitting next to the book, and a soldier dressed in half-armor.

Next to the soldier, there were all kinds of ordnance.

Obviously, this recruitment is not an unrefusal.

Just when everyone looked at the school field in a daze.

Gu Dengyun stood on the school grounds, holding a copper-skinned loudspeaker and ordering loudly, "Pass the king's order! Recruitment has officially begun!"

As soon as the words fell, more than 100 people at the front of the line were put into the school yard.

"What's your name?"

"Where are you from?"

"How old are you?" How many people are in the family? How many brothers and sisters?"

"What do you do for a living?"

"Have you ever practiced martial arts? What weapons are you good at?"

Lu Wensu slowly walked behind the subordinate officials of the Yanwang Mansion, supervising the subordinate officials to register those young and strong.

After the mistake is registered, even if there will be a guy from the old five commercial houses, he will be guided to the corresponding soldier.

He is good at archery, and the young man who makes a living from hunting on weekdays will focus on his archery skills.

If you are young and strong who make a living from farming on weekdays, you will focus on the school examination

its strength and physical strength.

If you are a martial artist, you will focus on your martial arts.

After the school examination is completed, the men of the old five commercial houses will truthfully inform the officials of the Yanwang Mansion of the results of the school examination.

The subordinate officials of the Yanwang Mansion will truthfully write the results of the examination on the back of the roster.

The examination schools in Wang Daying are all kinds of shapes.

If you don't have a specialty, or even don't have physical strength and endurance, you will naturally be mercilessly eliminated from the competition.

Xu Yi sat upright in the chair of the Taishi on the military platform, quietly looking at the Yandi who showed their talents on the school field.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly by a point or two.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a swallow land known for its martial arts.

Since the official start of recruitment, Xu Yi has rarely seen those who were eliminated on the spot.

Xu Yi watched quietly for a moment, then got up and walked off the platform.

If the 20,000 young recruits go to the school one by one, it will take at least three days.

Xu Yi naturally couldn't waste all his precious time waiting.

As soon as Xu Yifang stepped off the platform, a man dressed in the clothes of a servant of the Yan Wangfu ran quickly with a famous thorn in his hand.

"Lord Qi, the name of the Zhu family." The servant approached and bowed his hand.

'The name of the Zhu family? , Xu Yi muttered in a low voice, and then motioned to Zhao Shou to take the name thorn.

Zhao Shou stepped forward quickly, took the name thorn from the servant's hand, and handed it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi took the famous thorn, and as far as the eye could see, it was the three small characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance.

'Zhu Huaimin. , Xu Yi muttered in a low voice, and then ordered, "Please go to the big tent of the Chinese army."

Zhu Huaimin is a person, Xu Yi naturally knows it in his heart.

It didn't take a while.

Zhu Zongbao supported Zhu Huaimin and slowly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as Zhu Huaimin walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, he saluted respectfully to Xu Yi and said, "Old Zhu Huaimin, meet His Royal Highness King Yan."

Xu Yi sat upright on the chair of the first master, and his eyes swept over Zhu Huaimin and Zhu Zongbao.

Then he said calmly: "Old lady Zhu, please get up quickly."

After the words fell, Xu Yi ordered, "Look at the seat."

"His Royal Highness King Xie Yan gives you a seat." Zhu Huaimin got up and bowed again, and thanked him.

After Zhu Huaimin took a seat.

Xu Yi looked at Zhu Zongbao beside Zhu Huaimin and asked calmly, "This is the famous Zhu Zongbao, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zongbao instantly trembled with fright, God knows how King Yan knew his appearance.

And being targeted by a prince is obviously not a good thing.

Especially on the premise that he had just been twisted to the county government by the prince's men for beating a lonely old man.

Zhu Zongbao hurriedly looked at the old lady of the Zhu family as if asking for help.

Unexpectedly, the old lady of the Zhu family didn't seem to see it at all.

Zhu Huaimin bowed to Xu Yi again and said, "Go back to the prince and ask, this son is Zhu Zongbao, the unfilial son of the Zhu family."
