Chapter 36 Recruitment
The Chen family, the school martial arts field.
All the people who withdrew from Liuxiangyuan were gathered here by Chen Muyun.
The reason is also very simple, that is, to select a group of people from these people to join the Chen family.
That's a tempting condition!
Although the Chen family is not a big family now, being able to join a force is the same as taking the civil service examination for an ordinary civilian.
For this reason, as soon as he heard that Chen Muyun was going to choose the Chen family among them, he immediately forgot about the matter of Liuxiangyuan.
However, there are two sides to the story.
Some rejoice, others grieve.
Xu Changgeng looked at the black line with a black line, the black man in the school martial arts field.
It is true that he is short of manpower, but he never expected that Chen Muyun would actually stuff him with a bunch of civilians.
"Lord of the city, this ...... Will this work? ”
"Aren't you short of manpower? I sent it to you, why are you still picky. ”
"Yes...... These people are all civilians, no matter how poor the ability of the outer disciples is, they still have some means of self-preservation, once these people encounter something, ......"
"Isn't it you guys when something happens?"
Chen Muyun interrupted.
"Their task is only to patrol and defend, to put it bluntly, they are to provide you with early warning services, and it is you who really deal with the problem."
"Huh?"
Xu Changgeng looked puzzled.
"My lord, what's the use of them or not? Aren't we still doing it? ”
Xu Changgeng seems to have gotten into the tip of the horns, but he just doesn't open his mind.
Chen Muyun had no choice but to patiently explain to him.
"In the past, there were always riots in the city, and the root cause was that the people did not have enough to eat and complained."
"But now that they are well fed, and they have work to do, they don't have so much energy to do other things every day, so the task of your city defense must change from full prevention and control at the beginning to point prevention and control."
After Chen Muyun's explanation, Xu Changgeng suddenly realized.
Indeed, since the opening of the warehouse to release grain, there have been a lot fewer riots in the city, and the kiln workshop and the Liuxiangyuan have started construction one after another, and the vast majority of the people in the city have been concentrated there, and there are really very few people left who have nothing to do.
"What you mean by this is that they will do the work on the big scale, and we will take over the details."
Chen Muyun nodded helplessly.
"In this case, then it is good to give them the position of husband at will, why do you need to recruit them into the Chen family? If this spreads, I'm afraid it will be bad for you and the reputation of the Chen family. ”
Xu Changgeng's worries are not unreasonable.
In this Qingzhou boundary, there has always been an unwritten rule.
That is, no matter how small the family is, it adheres to a set of theories that the clan is first, the commoners are secondary, and the best of the best is selected.
Moreover, the selection of outer disciples not only strictly requires age.
Generally, it is recruited from the doll to the door to cultivate, the good ones are left, and the second ones are sent back.
For those civilians who have reached adulthood, they are not considered at all, because in the eyes of various forces, after people reach adulthood, their aura will be dispersed, and they will not be able to teach anything, and resources will be wasted.
More importantly, if a force rashly absorbs a large number of civilians, it will be considered by other surrounding forces that it has entered the stage of decline.
Then it will inevitably be coveted by others, so as to seize the territory.
But Chen Muyun doesn't think about it that way.
As the saying goes, the road is walked by people, and if others can't get through, it doesn't mean that you can't walk too!
"In the heyday of Liuli City, there were more than 100,000 people in the city, and the Chen family was only more than 2,000 people at that time, if it weren't for the Jianzun Town, do you really think that with those more than 2,000 people, you can manage such a big city?"
"......"
"I know what you're thinking." Chen Muyun interrupted: "Don't always follow the rules, in extraordinary times, you must use extraordinary methods, anyway, they are all people, how to use them is not useful." ”
He had been in contact with Chen Muyun for a while, and Xu Changgeng understood that he must not look at his city lord with ordinary eyes.
Because when he does things, it's always unbelievable.
Although Chen Muyun made sense at the mental level, a very practical problem was in front of him.
There are about three or four thousand people who have withdrawn this down, and if this is a test one by one, it will be measured until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
"Young master, how should these people be chosen?"
Chen Muyun smiled slightly.
It's not too easy to select these people.
An ordinary street patrol job does not require too high ability, be familiar with the terrain, and run fast.
Therefore, the test items are all related to running.
Chen Muyun set up a sprint, a turnaround run and an obstacle run.
Sprinting a hundred meters, according to the memory of the previous life, the qualification of junior high school students is 16 seconds, and Chen Muyun is not as demanding as the requirements, and it is enough to run into 18~20 seconds.
The average sports student running 500 meters in the middle distance is about one and a half minutes, and Chen Muyun's requirement is two minutes to two and a half minutes.
As for the final obstacle run, if you can basically pass smoothly, you will be qualified.
After informing everyone of the assessment criteria, the crowd was surprised.
"Huh? After completing these, you can join the Chen family? Lord of the Castle, you didn't lie to us, did you? ”
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly questioned.
The rest of the crowd began to chimed in.
"yes, it's too easy, don't fool us."
Seeing this, Chen Muyun smiled indifferently, put his hands in his cuffs, and slowly walked in front of everyone.
"Rank, when did I, Chen Muyun, break my promise to everyone?"
After this question, everyone was stopped.
"Eh, it doesn't seem to be!"
"It's true, the city lord is much more reliable than that Chen Boyuan."
"That's it."
Just when everyone was talking.
An old man suddenly walked out of the crowd.
"Lord of the city, you are old and talented, and you also want to enter our Chen family, but ......"
The old man wanted to speak and stopped.
Obviously, most of the assessment items formulated by Chen Muyun are aimed at young people.
An old man like him is basically out of play.
But among this group, there are not a few people of his age.
Since the beginning of the decline of Liuli City, the young and strong have gone out to beg for a living, and most of the remaining people are so old and decrepit.
This is indeed a question, Chen Muyun rubbed his chin and thought about it.
Suddenly, an idea popped into place.
"How much do you know about the streets and alleys of Liuli City?"
Hearing this, the old man didn't know why, "Uh...... If we are where we live, then we know it, but if it is somewhere else, we ......."
The old man was a little embarrassed.
At this time, Chen Muyun was smiling.
"That's good!"
As he spoke, Chen Muyun suddenly raised his voice and said to everyone.
"If you can know a certain area or street well, then you can get out of the ordinary!"
As soon as these words came out, those old men seemed to see hope, and they were eager to try.
In fact, Chen Muyun's decision was not improvised.
Ever since he robbed Shen He's grain and grass, he had been on guard.
Moreover, the banquet three days later may become the key to the battle between Chen Muyun and Chen Boyuan.
He didn't want to see that during this period, Shen He suddenly led a group of people to run in from a place he didn't know.
And, this group of old men is precisely the one who knows the most about Liuli City, and they may know many routes into the city that others don't know.
That's why it's a good opportunity to fill in the gaps!
