The voice fell.

The crowd erupted in a lively chatter.

"Two taels of silver a month?"

"Eat and stay?"

"There are such good things in the world!"

When the onlookers heard this, they couldn't believe it.

At this time, there is a humane:

"If you join the military household and want to get out of the country, it's not so easy."

"I heard that those military households have to farm in addition to training on weekdays, and in case of war, they have to work hard, and their lives are not as good as cattle and horses!"

"Not only are they not as good as cattle and horses, but they are also inferior to pigs and dogs!"

When the onlookers listened, a fiery heart instantly cooled down.

Oh, yes!

Where will pie fall in the world.

Two taels of silver a month, and food and shelter, if there is such a good thing, how could it fall on their heads.

You don't have to think about it to know.

No matter how well the notice is written, after I go, I will only be a cow and a horse.

When the poor scholar who read the notice heard this, he said: "The notice says that after joining the new army, as long as you reach a certain age, you can return to your hometown.

On weekdays, when there is no war, you can also take leave, and you can rest for three days a month. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people exploded again.

"Eat and drink for nothing, and receive silver, and rest, what kind of life is this?

It's like a fairy! ”

"If that's the case, I'll join the new army too!"

The poor scholar looked at the man who spoke: "This new army is not something you can enter if you want to, and it needs to be assessed!" ”

The man asked, "Where?" ”

The poor scholar glanced at the notice and replied, "The school field in the northern suburbs." ”

Hear this.

The young men present glanced at each other, and in the next second, without saying a word, they ran away.

After a wild run, I finally came to the school grounds.

At this moment, the small school field is already overcrowded.

People are next to each other, people are crowded with people, and there seems to be no end in sight!

When several young men saw this scene, they beat their chests in frustration.

I didn't even have time to catch my breath along the way.

It's so late!

Now.

At the end of the school yard, there is a long table.

Captain Zhou Ding sat behind the long table, and while taking notes, he asked, "Name." ”

"Zhang rice bucket."

Zhou Ding didn't raise his head and asked, "Which Zhang, which rice, which bucket?" ”

"I can't read, I only know that the people in the village call me Rice Bucket."

When Zhou Ding heard this, he raised his eyes and looked.

There stood a man in a coarse cloth vest, seventeen or eighteen years old, with rough skin, slender limbs, and a thin build.

When Zhou Ding saw him, he gasped and subconsciously asked, "How tall are you?"

Zhang Fantong scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhou Ding glanced him up and down, and wrote it down on the paper: Zhang Fantong, nine feet tall, thin.

After thinking about it, I added a note at the end, I can eat it.

Registration is complete.

Zhou Dingdao: "Running laps or lifting stone locks, choose one." ”

Zhang Fantong thought for a while and said, "I'll carry the stone lock." ”

Zhou Ding nodded, stretched out his hand to the stone lock on the side, and said, "Go ahead, lift it up three times, and it's over." ”

Zhang Fantong looked at the stone lock, was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Just carry this?" ”

When the people around heard this, they were a little speechless.

What do you mean to lift this?

Do you really think this stone lock is so easy to lift?

Zhou Ding glanced at him and said lightly: "You can try it and you'll know." ”

This stone lock doesn't look heavy, but it's actually more than a hundred pounds!

From the morning to now, a total of 70 people have been recruited in the northern suburbs.

More than 60 of them are laps and passed the assessment.

In other words.

No more than ten people can lift the stone lock!

This person is tall, but his body is weak, and a hundred pounds of stone locks are enough to choke.

Zhou Ding thought so, and suddenly heard an exclamation from beside him.

He subconsciously turned his head to look.

I saw Zhang Fantong lift the stone lock above his head, then put it down, and then lift it above his head, and then put it down.

Repeated four or five times in a row!

Zhou Ding looked at this scene, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless in shock.

Zhang Fan was afraid that Zhou Ding would not see it, so he raised it twice.

Then gently lower the stone lock.

He grinned and asked, "Big brother, is that so?" ”

"I'm good, what kind of monster is this!"

When the people around saw this scene, they were all stupid.

They never imagined that this boy, who was eight feet tall and had slender limbs and looked extremely thin, would be able to lift the stone lock above his head.

Is this still human?

Zhang Fantong saw that Zhou Ding didn't speak, and thought that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Big brother, is it wrong for me, you give me another chance, I will do a good job!" ”

When Zhou Ding heard this, he almost choked on saliva, waved his hand and said, "Don't lift it!" ”

Zhang Fantong panicked all of a sudden, and said anxiously: "Don't, big brother, you can do well, give me another chance, I just go back, my mother will definitely kill me!" ”

"I won't let you lift it because you're already over."

Zhou Ding put a tick behind Zhang Fantong's name, tore it off and handed it to him, saying: "Take care of the affairs of the family in one day, and come here to report tomorrow with the letter." ”

When Zhang Fantong heard this, his face was surprised, as if he couldn't believe it: "This ...... That's it? ”

The people around him listened and wanted to go up and give him a kick.

What else do you want!

A dozen more times!

"It's over, let's go back."

Zhou nodded fixedly.

Get an affirmative answer.

Zhang Fantong showed excitement on his face, reached out to take the note, and carefully put it into his arms.

Then he bowed vigorously to Zhou Ding.

"Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother! ”

Zhou Ding waved his hand and said, "Just one day, don't waste it here." ”

"Next!"

The recruitment of the northern suburbs lasted for four or five hours.

Until the sun sets.

The last person in line completes the assessment.

There were not 10,000 young people who came to sign up, but 9,000.

In the end, only more than 1,000 people passed the assessment.

However, this figure was also just in line with Fang Xiu's expectations.

After all, what he wants to cultivate is a group of real elites!

If you can't pass even the most basic physical fitness and strength, there's no point in recruiting them.

Xiangguo Mansion.

Fang Xiu looked at the training plan he had made, with a satisfied smile on his face, handed it to Qian Haonan, the secretary of the military department, and instructed:

"The recruits are trained according to the above, and after three months, the prime minister personally inspects them."

Qian Haonan reached out and took the training plan and browsed it from top to bottom.

The more I looked at it, the stranger it became.

looks like he wants to say and stops.

Fang Xiu looked at him and said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Qian Haonan hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Fang Xiang, Xia Guan thinks it may be more appropriate to let them practice weapons more." ”

From his point of view.

The training program is very comprehensive.

Physical fitness, strength, obedience, etc., are all taken into account.

The only thing missing is the weapon!

No matter how good the physical fitness and strength training are on weekdays, when you go to the battlefield, you have to meet each other after all.

If you don't let them practice their weapons, how can you do it?

Fang Xiu thought for a moment and asked:

"Do you think these newly recruited people, after half a year of training, will be stronger or weaker than the Tiger Ben Army of the Great Zhou?"
