Hu Hai specially returned to Ganquan Palace today, gathered all the palace guards, and at the suggestion of the commander, selected a few people from the palace guards who were familiar with the art of war to prepare for the candidates for adjutants at all levels of the Heavenly Wolf Army.

And Lin Ze made an appointment with Yu Tianqi to go to the Imperial Village outside the city to select veterans today.

According to the report that the second elder of Qingfeng Mingyue came back to report that when Yu Tianqi took the second elder to the martial arts hall to propose marriage, his future father-in-law did not give a good face on the spot, and even gathered Hu Hai specially returned to Ganquan Palace today, gathered all the palace guards, and under the advice of the commander, selected a few people from the palace guards who were familiar with the art of war to prepare for the candidates for the adjutant at all levels of the Heavenly Wolf Army.

And Lin Ze made an appointment with Yu Tianqi to go to the Imperial Village outside the city to select veterans today.

According to the report that the second elder of Qingfeng Mingyue came back, when Yu Tianqi took the second elder to the martial arts hall to propose marriage, his future father-in-law did not give a good face on the spot, and even gathered everyone in the martial arts hall, planning to play a trick and not admit it.

Yu Tianqi was anxious on the spot, and looked at the second elder of Qingfeng Mingyue with a look of help, the second elder was also straight, and the majestic momentum gushed out, covering the entire martial arts hall, and the people in the main hall of the Changfeng martial arts hall were out of breath.

The owner of the martial arts hall couldn't sit still in the hall, almost thinking that someone was kicking the hall, and after asking about the situation, he heard that the second elder was an elder of Fang Xiandao, and he was under the door of the National Teacher's Mansion, so he immediately pulled a few deputy hall masters together to persuade Yu Tianqi's future father-in-law to get married.

That Yu Tianqi's future father-in-law looked unhappy, and reluctantly exchanged marriage letters, set a wedding date, Yu Tianqi successfully hugged the beauty, and specially came over to thank Lin Ze.

It's just that Lin Ze looked at Yu Tianqi's fiancée, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, it seems that there was true love in ancient times. By the way, I made an appointment to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to pick people today.

The existence of Daqin's military merit system makes the entire official anti-meritorious soldiers give special preferential treatment, and veterans who have retired from the army will be given priority to be placed to take care of the imperial field and the official field.

Outside Chang'an City, there are a large number of veterans, taking care of the royal family's exclusive imperial village.

Lin Ze took Chen Ping, followed by the two Dharma protectors and the four elders of Fang Xiandao, and rode out of the city. After experiencing the embarrassing thing of not being able to ride a horse in the last hunt, Lin Ze picked the time to study hard for a while, but fortunately, as a martial artist, his coordination ability is relatively strong, and in a few days, Lin Ze became familiar with horseback riding.

Yu Tianqi arrived at Huangzhuang outside the city early, gathered all the villagers from more than a dozen nearby villages, and told them that there would be big people coming over to select veterans to serve in the new army.

Most of the réndà in the imperial village came down from the battlefield, and they were used to licking blood from the knife edge, so they picked up a hoe and shaved food in the ground, but they were not used to it, and they usually had fun.

Hunting together, or gambling and fighting, especially at night, drank more, there were too many troubles and fights, so that the old man who was responsible for public security and tax collection was as big as a fight.

Now I heard that there are nobles coming to recruit people, and the villagers are like hungry cats seeing fishy, so they hurriedly inform the men in the village to be ready, especially when I heard that the nobles recruit veterans to bring new soldiers, and those who are slightly disabled do not mind, and they beat gongs and drums to notify all the men in the village.

For the villagers, if they can pull a few more people to join the army, maybe there will be fewer fights and troublemakers in the village, and the more the better.

More than a dozen village elders immediately took action, set up a banquet in the Zhuangzi, and waited for the nobles to come and pick people.

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Yu Tianqi said to the villagers beside him: "It should be a noble person, I'll go out and take a look." ”

A villager immediately said: "Lord Yu, slow down, the old man will go with you." After speaking, the other villagers said that they wanted to go over together, for fear of being preempted by others.

Outside, the men of Huangzhuang also surrounded him, and saw a group of eight people returning on horseback from a distance. One of the villagers was puzzled: "If you are traveling, won't you just ride a horse with a few people?" ”

In the understanding of the villagers, the "big people" who come to Huangzhuang every year are in carriages, and there are hundreds of people who hug each other, as well as those with maids and maids, one by one they can't help but look at Yu Tianqi in confusion, if they don't know this Lord Yu of the Taiwei Mansion, they all think that the liar has come to the door.

Lin Ze rushed to Huangzhuang, and saw that the people who were all black and oppressive were staring at him, and all of them looked like hunters staring at their prey, and they couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts, they were in the right place.

However, Qingfeng sat on the horse, and snorted dissatisfiedly, which sounded in the ears of everyone in Huangzhuang like thunder, and everyone's eyes were a lot more restrained, and it is human nature to bully the soft and fear the hard.

And the villager who originally looked at Lin Ze and his entourage of only eight people, and was disappointed in his heart, his eyes became hot again, and the people accompanying him were actually such a strong person, and he was a real nobleman.

I don't know who got up, and everyone saluted and cheered Lin Ze: "Welcome guests." ”

Lin Ze got off the horse, and said with a hearty smile while saluting: "All the old fathers and villagers are polite, Lin Ze, the military master of Hu Hai and the disciple of the national teacher of the Great Qin, has seen all the old fathers and villagers when he sees this. ”

What kind of person is Lin Ze, he immediately saw the changes in the faces of the villagers, as the so-called "high is not low", whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, the powerful are more likely to be respected, so Lin Ze showed the background as soon as he opened, so as not to complicate the simple recruitment of soldiers.

Sure enough, when he heard that Lin Ze had made the name of the Great Qin Gongzi and the national teacher, the smiles on the faces of the villagers became a little thicker, and Lin Ze was welcomed into the village and sat on the main seat.

Lin Ze was also not polite, the golden knife horse sat down, the two protectors of the Dao Palace were in front, and the four elders of Fang Immortal Dao were guarding in the back, but Chen Ping sat calmly under Lin Ze's hand.

After Lin Ze sat down, one of the villagers in charge of the banquet clapped his palms, and the farmer's characteristic chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and rice wine were served up one by one by the women of the village, who were either slender and thin, or five big and three thick.

Everyone picked up the wine bottle and signaled to Lin Ze: "Congratulations for your distinguished guest." ”

Lin Ze picked up the wine bottle with a smile on his face and drank it all, the sweetness of the rice wine fascinated him a little, and in his memory, it was the taste of his hometown.

After settling down, Lin Ze filled the wine bottle again, picked it up and said to the villagers: "This time, on the orders of Gongzi Hu Hai, I came here to recruit some veterans into the army and train the new army. ”

One of the villagers said bluntly: "We already know the intention of the distinguished guest, there is a bit of martial arts cultivation in the village, and there are many people who are idle, and the distinguished guest will take it away if he sees it, but I just hope that the noble guest will treat them well." ”

Another villager said: "Although they are from poor backgrounds and their lives are not worth much, they also ask the distinguished guests to promise us that they will never despise them, if they die on the battlefield, it will be fine, if they are trampled on by the distinguished guests at will, even if our old bones die at the gate of Xianyang Palace, we must seek justice." ”

Lin Ze smiled indifferently, Lin Ze could understand what they meant, they were usually villagers in the village, although he knew that the men who came down from the field couldn't be idle, and wanted to fight again, but he didn't want them to be easily used and give away their lives.

Lin Ze immediately said: "Rest assured, this time it is the prince of Great Qin who personally leads the army to the battle, and my son Huhai has always been generous to others, and he will definitely not disappoint you." Seeing that the villagers looked at him in disbelief, Lin Ze scolded secretly, Hu Hai's name is not good at all.

Then his eyes rolled: "I, Lin Ze, as the next generation of Fang Immortal Dao descendants, swear in the name of the ancestors of Fang Immortal Dao that if I treat all the soldiers who enlist in the army badly, our Immortal Dao Patriarch will not be at peace in the spirit of the sky." ”

When the villagers heard it, they put their minds at ease, they hadn't heard of Hu Hai Gongzi, but the famous Fang Xian Dao, everyone still knew it, in addition to the national teacher from Fang Xian Dao, a few years ago, when there was a great drought, there were Fang Xian Dao's immortal masters who came to set up an altar to ask for rain many times, and they could always fulfill and survive the drought, and everyone was very grateful for this.

Now this Lin Ze nobleman, as the descendant of Fang Immortal Dao, and swears in the name of Fang Immortal Dao Patriarch, he must be credible. However, Lin Ze felt that his back was about to be ignited by the hot eyes of the four elders of Fang Xiandao, Lin Ze didn't care, this was sent by Xu Fu himself, no need to use it in vain.

After the banquet, the villagers let the men in their respective villages stand in a row, waiting for Lin Ze to choose.

Lin Ze asked the villagers to watch from the sidelines, saying that there were some conditions for his own selection of soldiers, if someone lied, he also asked the villagers to identify, and the villagers promised to make a promise, and Daqin Hengmu Lixin was a sincere person.

Lin Ze walked up to an earthen platform, looked at everyone, and shouted with all his strength and blood: "Everyone, today I am recruiting on behalf of Gongzi Huhai, please cooperate fully." ”

"The only son in the family is on the list. ”

Everyone looked at each other, until the urging of the villagers, only some reluctantly came out, Lin Ze said to the villagers: "There is no only son to join the army, and there is no one at home to serve the elderly, please let them go back." ”

One of the villagers said: "The son is really kind-hearted, and now the old man believes that the son can treat them well." Then the first man dismissed the only son of the village.

Then Lin Ze continued: "The father and son are in the same column, and the brothers are in the same column, please take a closer look." ”

Suddenly, the team was reduced by more than half, and there were about 500 strong men left who were originally more than 1,000.

"Under 20 years old, over 60 years old are listed. ”

Although Lin Ze said to Yu Tianqi that he wanted veterans, he obviously saw that there were young people standing in the team, so he said that some were eliminated, and suddenly there were more than 100 people in the team, and there were more than 300 people left.

"Whoever has killed people is out of the ranks. ”

The faces of the rest of the people changed, this is not not recruiting, playing us, a few went to the battlefield and did not kill anyone.

Even a villager looked unhappy: "What do you mean by this, nobleman, most of the veterans in the village have retired from the army, how can there be no one who has not killed anyone." ”

Lin Ze said lightly: "I mean follow me who has killed people." ”

The old man smiled embarrassedly.

Then Lin Ze asked Chen Ping to organize the people who had studied in the village to register the more than 300 people, and finally got 325 people.

Lin Ze did not take the people away immediately, but made an appointment to come back to collect them in a few days, and divided the 3,000 gold tickets he brought with him as a deposit for the settling-in allowance for the conscripts to comfort the family, indicating that when they officially entered the camp, there would be a settling-in fee to be handed over.

Another villager stuffed a 100-denomination golden ticket to express his gratitude, and the villagers were not reserved, generously accepted, and couldn't help but sigh: This is the real nobleman, casually it is a lot of money, compared to the previous ones who look like the style of the noble, the reward is all some copper coins to come too good.
