Fan Lou to the south is the small sweet water lane, along the small sweet water lane to the south gate street to the west and walk a few hundred meters is the royal street, here is the Taisheng Mansion, Taichang Temple and Zuozangku. Taisheng Mansion and Taichang Temple are the organs of the imperial court in charge of ritual music, and this Zuozang Treasury is the national treasury, Lu Xihua was wondering whether it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and was glared at by the soldiers guarding the door, who told Lu Xihua to stop on the street and stare inside with big eyes? So as not to cause trouble, Lu Xihua left quickly.

After the Yujie Bridge, it is to the west of the inner city, it is more famous here, the main street is still called Nanmen Street, but the yamen on the side is the famous Shangshu Province and the Yushitai, and then go through the Yanqing Temple, it is the famous Kaifeng Mansion Mansion. Kaifeng Mansion covers a large area, opposite is Taiping Xingguo Temple and Worship Fire Temple, and this Guo Jing selection of people is in this Taiping Xingguo Temple and Worship Fire Temple between a courtyard.

There are several tables and chairs side by side outside the courtyard, there are paperwork in the formalities, after a group of people sign up, the paperwork is screened first, and those who meet the requirements are left aside, and when they gather ten people, they are led into the courtyard by a soldier and then screened; those who do not meet the requirements take some copper coins from the clerks and leave with a smile.

He Li had been sitting in a sedan chair across the street for a long time, and his brows couldn't help but frown as he looked at the long queue outside the compound waiting to sign up. I arranged the site for the selection of troops and put it opposite this Kaifeng Mansion, in order to better monitor the recruitment situation of "Guo Xianshi", and now it seems that I am still too optimistic. Outside this courtyard, most of the people who came to sign up were idlers and hooligans on the street, and a few children of ordinary people who seemed to be innocent, most of them had a conflict with the idlers and quit angrily. If "Guo Xianshi" summoned these people, the two armies would collapse at the first touch, and they would really pity these lives.

He Li is not sorry for the money of the imperial court, but cares about morale, Zhang Shuye is a scholar who relies on the military and civilian confidence that has been established by the bloody battle, but he is afraid that he will lose nothing in this battle, it seems that he has to discuss with Zhang Shuye, in order to prepare for the future, so as not to lose face and lose confidence in the heavenly family and the imperial court. Immediately, He Li put down the sedan curtain and instructed the sedan chair man to go to the Privy Council, and he had to avoid Sun Fu's smug guy.

Lu Xihua also came to the outside of the courtyard for a while, carefully looked at the recruitment situation of this "Guo Immortal Master", and knew in his heart, what the level of the Immortal Master himself was, he didn't know, but where were these idlers outside who were the materials for going into battle.

What is Idler?

In ancient towns, there were some people called "idlers", that is, men who did nothing all day long and did not keep their duties. At that time, idlers were also called "slices", and "slices" were originally slices made of bamboo, which means that if there were no "idlers" in the world, there would be no meaning in crooked and evil ways.

Among the ancient idlers, there were some who knew a little bit of literature and ink and knew how to play backgammon, play chess, and joke and joke, and they specialized in camping among the children of rich families, and ate white food by helping prostitutes to stick food, accompany gambling and wine, gag, and flattery. "Sticking food" is a group of idlers who live a leisurely and shameless life.

There are some idlers who spend all day in brothels, helping the old bustard to lure rich prostitutes to spend money, writing letters for fans, helping lonely old people pass on books, and making romantic tea and rice mixed with stomachs.

Some people get some candy, melon seeds, head oil, and pollen to make a starting point, and go to restaurants, tea shops, brothels, and other rich children to get camp, serve and wait, say some good words and offer things to beg for rewards, this kind of idler is also called "shelf", or "Bobo", "little buyer". This kind of idler has the thickest skin.

Some rely on their familiarity with the world, can speak well, and some social relations can be used to do some debt insurance, transaction intermediary things, pumping molecules, eating kickbacks, this kind of idler is called "Shier", also called "Bao'er", "help". In fact, this kind of idler is a part-time broker, but this kind of part-time broker often does speculative business with no conscience.

There are also those who have no skills and no ability to be flattered, wandering around the streets, and when they find out who is doing a happy event, they will go to the door early to help with chores, socialize, and join in the fun; whoever is doing a funeral will go to act as a bailiff; whoever is promoted to an official and on the list will come to the door to report the good news. There is food, drink and reward, and you can get some extra oil and water when you look at the sky, this kind of idler is also called "idler", "idle", etc., and it is the worst mix among the idlers.

In the eyes of most people, these idlers are actually a group of incorruptible, shameless, thick-skinned and greedy scoundrels. If you want to take care of him, he will become even worse, and if you don't care about him, he will force it with a smiling face, and he will not leave until he is satisfied, what a group of greedy, domineering, and shameless people.

Lu Xihua was a little puzzled, how could these always shrewd idlers be deceived when it came to going into battle? Quietly moved aside, gave a small dime of silver to a man who was leaning under a tree and was bored and picking his feet, and asked in a low voice, "Man, ask you something." ”

When the foot-picking man saw the silver, he smiled, pinched it with his nails, retracted his hand, put it in his sleeve, raised his head and said, "If the son has anything, you can ask the villain." ”

Lu Xihua squatted down and asked, "I heard that this Guo Immortal Master recruited immortal soldiers, I came here to take a look, and it was a little strange: the sword has no eyes on this battlefield, why is everyone rushing to sign up?"

The foot-picking man looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and then whispered, "Childe doesn't know, this Guo Immortal Master's magic is amazing, proficient in the art of Liujia, and he is generous, as long as he signs up, he will give 200 Wen, if he meets the conditions of the immortal soldiers, he will be given ten times, and the monthly treatment in the future will be matched with the guards in the forbidden area, which is a big advantage." There are no restrictions on the selection of this time, and there is no need to look at the household registration, and all the big officials in the city of Tokyo have said, let the younger brothers under them come and try it, and it is best to be selected, so that they can take care of it in the future; if they can't be selected, it's okay, this time the selection time is urgent, try to ensure that their own people go first, and keep others out of the way."

Lu Xihua understood, this Guo Immortal Master was looking for someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost, but he was willing to spend a lot of money and draw a big cake, so naturally there were people who did good things to pounce on him. Pity these flies and dogs, they don't know yet, and they are anxious to be the ghosts of this unjust death. Lu Xihua also doesn't have a good impression of the cancer of these societies, and it is good to take this opportunity to eliminate a batch, and the family is crying, how can it be cried all the way.

Lu Xihua pointed to the two big black flags erected in the courtyard and asked, "Why are there portraits painted on those big flags? Isn't this Immortal Master Guo proficient in the method of Liujia? This portrait doesn't look like a Taoist. ”

The foot-picking man glanced at Lu Xihua with strange eyes, and said with a smile, "Childe, that statue is the Heavenly King of Bishamen, the image of the god of war in my dynasty." ”

Lu Xihua knew that the king of Bishamen was the king of Buddhism, guarding the north, and Uesugi Kenshin in the previous school and game "Taiko Lizhi Biography" claimed to be the reincarnation of the king of Bishamen, and the family battle flag had a word on it, and asked, "Isn't this king the protector of Buddhism? Why is it linked to the god of war?"

The foot-picking man explained, "Gongzi also please know that Li Jing, the Duke of Wei of the Tang Dynasty, once guarded the Chang'an City Gate in the direction of Khotan. Wei Gong Li Jing is the military god of our Han people, and he is naturally the reincarnation of King Bishamen, bless my Great Song army. After the foot-picking man finished speaking, he lowered his head, crushed the ants on the ground with his hands, and no longer paid attention to Lu Xihua.

Lu Xihua was not embarrassed, he became illiterate once, and was despised by this man in the market, so he smiled bitterly. Since Li Jing is the military god of the Great Song Dynasty and the protector of Buddhism, he also went to the temple to get some weapons.
