Although the Huatian Chamber of Commerce was established, the struggle for power and intrigue has been happening in the past few days. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now the few stewards of the Chamber of Commerce, except for Tao Qian, are almost all old men. Although they have a lot of experience, because their cultivation is not high, their lifespan is almost at the end, and they don't have a few days to jump, unless they make a breakthrough in cultivation, but this is almost impossible.

Therefore, the shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce have been arranging people in the Chamber of Commerce in the past few days to pave the way for their descendants. Apprentices, buddies, guards, etc., almost all positions are the sons and nephews of the shareholders. Just wait for these stewards to retire now, and these current sons and nephews will also be trained, and then some important positions in the Chamber of Commerce will belong to these descendants.

For their plans, Ye Feng turned a blind eye and didn't bother to care. If it weren't for the lack of business talents now, Ye Feng would have kicked them out long ago. A group of small-minded, mercenary traders.

However, with the expansion of Ye Feng's power in the future, the development of the Huatian Chamber of Commerce will exceed their imagination, and at that time, talents will definitely flock to it, and Ye Feng will let their plans fall through. Only those who are suitable for obedience can be promoted, and some of the ambitious and useless people of the wolf can only be ruthless.

A few days later, the Chamber of Commerce has been fully staffed, and the shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce have begun to settle down. Ye Feng arranged a new task for the Chamber of Commerce and did not let them be idle.

Ye Feng handed over the task of purchasing the expansion and repair materials of the entire Dongyang Town to the Chamber of Commerce. Now the Chamber of Commerce has no big things, so they can only find things to do, otherwise they don't know what kind of moth they are idle.

The matter of the Chamber of Commerce came to an end, and Ye Feng began to think about recruitment. He is not only a husband, but also has the military position of a song commander.

The song is long, and the soldiers are five hundred. This was originally the number of troops in a county town, but in order to prevent the counterattack of the Wei State and hold the newly occupied territory of the sandbank, the number of troops on the entire sandbank was expanded. The county seat was expanded from 500 to 2,000, and the township area was expanded from 100 to 500, and the strength of the entire sandbar was to be quadrupled or fivefold according to the plan.

Shazhou's excuse to the outside world was to prevent the Wei State from counterattacking, but it was not known what was actually going on in the minds of the high-level leaders.

However, although Shazhou decided to expand its army, it was obviously not prepared for the expansion. The number of troops on the entire sandbar suddenly increased by four or five times, and the financial burden was huge. Therefore, the prefectures and counties below the sandbar are trying their best to deal with it.

According to the regulations, 60 percent of the recruits' military salaries are paid by the state, and the remaining 40 percent are raised by the prefectures and counties themselves. But now that the territory of various prefectures and counties is proliferating, and there is no money for expansion everywhere. Most prefectures and counties can only use how much money to raise as many soldiers, and the number of soldiers that are lacking can only be deceitful. What's more, they even hit the idea on the salary, and recruited fewer soldiers.

The newly established Luosha Mansion is that only five percent of the state's sixty percent of the salary has reached Chuyang County, and only four percent of Chuyang County has been issued to Ye Feng again. It was only enough for the salaries of 200 soldiers. The other three hundred people could only find a way for Ye Feng to figure out his own way, and his original idea of using the money to support his own soldiers fell through.

If there is a way to pay a small amount of silver, Ye Feng will not be able to do anything if he lacks three hundred people's salary.

Now his family is almost exhausted, and the Huatian Chamber of Commerce is now only unable to enter and exit. In a short period of time, Ye Feng didn't want to have a large number of soldiers.

The idea of relying on quantity doesn't work, Ye Feng can only think of a way in terms of quality. The target of 500 people has been reduced to 200, and the quality will indeed improve a lot.

Another reason is that the population of the entire Dongyang Town is too small now. With a population of only two or three thousand, with such a small base, we can only follow the strategy of elite troops.

At the gate of Dongyang Town, several tables have been set up. There was a long queue of people who signed up to join the army, and almost all of the more than 1,000 immortals in Dongyang Town who were currently suitable for joining the army came. Because being a soldier earns more than farming, and now it is a farming slack, I just came here to try my luck, even if I can't choose it, I can still have a meal.

Ye Feng was leading several officials to screen recruits. These officials are only filled by his family, and no one can help it.

"Age, cultivation. Li Zhuang sat behind the desk and asked, now that the Chamber of Commerce has nothing to do, he was caught by Ye Feng again.

"Sixteen, the first layer of qi refining. A skinny teenager replied.

"Unqualified, next. Li Zhuang said to the young man, without raising his head.

There are several levels in the recruitment standards formulated by Ye Feng, and the most basic one is to be between sixteen and thirty years old, and to cultivate to reach the second level of qi refining.

The cultivation of the first layer is too weak to withstand the harsh training. And when the age is too old, the root bone is shaped and degenerated, and it is difficult to make great progress.

The sun is constantly moving, and the recruitment process is proceeding at a rapid pace. Many people who failed were brushed off, and there were many who survived the first round and waited for the second round of testing. About half of the brushed and those who passed, and 500 people passed the primary.

"Everyone ran around the walls, five laps. The man in charge of the second round ordered.

Suddenly, hundreds of people who passed the first round ran quickly.

The walls of Dongyang Town, which was newly expanded on the basis of Huangshi Village, are 1,000 steps long and wide, which is equivalent to 1,000 meters. One circle is 4,000 meters, and five circles are 20,000 kilometers or 40 miles.

An ordinary monk who doesn't know how to spell can run forty miles in one breath is already the limit of most people.

This level is to weed out some monks who are cultivated and age-qualified, but have weak physique.

For high-ranking monks, physical strength does not matter much, and they are almost always ranged attacks. But the monks at the bottom can't do it, they haven't broken through the middle level of qi refining, the spiritual power in their bodies is very weak, they can't learn spells yet, they can only fight each other in the face of war, and a strong physique is very important.

At first, the gap was not big, but after two laps, it was clear that the gap was coming. Some people can't keep up, and people keep quitting halfway through. Half an hour later, the second round of assessment ended.

After the second level, even fewer people passed, less than three hundred. Ye Feng originally planned to recruit two hundred recruits, but now it seems that it is difficult to recruit two hundred people, because there are still two rounds of tests behind.

Sure enough, an hour later, the third and fourth rounds of testing were over, and there were only about one hundred and fifty qualified recruits.

Ye Feng was very happy when he looked at these one hundred and fifty recruits. Although there are fewer people, the recruits selected through this strict screening are more powerful than the 300 recruits in other towns and villages. Moreover, after the training, with the formations and exercises taught by Ye Feng, the role of these people is even greater.

A day passed, and the assessment was over. All the recruits who passed the assessment, Ye Feng, gave them three days off to give them a process of transformation.

Among them, more than 100 people who were brushed down after the second round of assessment, Ye Feng did not give up, and assigned them to various immortal villages to be immortal village guards.

Of course, the so-called fairy village guards are the militia. Generally speaking, there is no salary to be a guard, but the usual food and accommodation need to be responsible for each immortal village. However, there are not too many hard and fast requirements, and the training is very casual.

However, many of the people who were screened out were not happy to be the guards of the fairy village, because they came from different fairy villages, and among them were homeless. There is a low sense of identification with other fairy villages. In order to keep them, Ye Feng added a hundred spirit stones to them every month. In this way, everyone agreed to stay, after all, having money is not the same as not having money, although there is not much money.

The reason why Ye Feng went to such great lengths to keep them was just to use them as reserves. Although the guards of the fairy village do not have much training, they are not without training. After a year later, the development of Dongyang Town was on the right track, and after Ye Feng had enough money, these current Xiancun guards would be enough to become qualified soldiers.
