Four Hundred and Seventy-One: Where Are the Talents? (2)

Wei Ci held the hot water bottle tightly in his arms, and the heat slowly entered his body, dispelling the lingering chill.

After a few coughs, he suddenly said, "It just so happens that Ci has a friend next to him. I'll ask his opinion later."

"Oh? That friend is in Xiangyang County?"

Qi Guanrang's eyes lit up. If a teammate like Wei Ci came at this time, the workload would be greatly reduced.

Wei Ci smiled and said, "Xi Heng and Ci came to Xiangyang County together."

Thinking about Zhang Ping's obsession with the government and his laziness in government affairs, he is quite similar to his master's temperament.

Qi Guanrang raised his eyebrows and gave Wei Ci a meaningful look-brother, well done!

"Ah, cut--"

The flying wood fluff tickled Zhang Ping's nose, and he couldn't help sneezing.

Zhang Ping held the hot water bottle firmly, wrapped his clothes tightly, and there was a lot of cut wood piled in front of him.

"The waterwheel - something seems wrong - which part is wrong, or is there something wrong with the structure?"

Zhang Ping's fingers flexibly dismantled the assembled waterwheel. After a while, he found that the hot water bottle in his arms had lost its heat. It was worth getting up to change the water. He opened the door and found that the sky outside was already dim.

He had wasted an afternoon without realizing it?

Rubbing his stomach, he felt a little hungry.

After taking out some money, Zhang Ping wrapped his coat tightly and went out to buy food in the wind and snow.

Wei Ci had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the county government, so Zhang Ping and Dian Yin could only think of ways on their own.

They didn't know how to cook, so they simply went to the nearby restaurants to buy.

"I'm afraid that the restaurants will be closed after the New Year... I still have to buy a girl who can cook and wash clothes..."

As a handicraft expert, Zhang Ping's ability to take care of himself is a little poor.

It's really a bit inexplicably sad to think about it.

Little did he know that there would be a more miserable future waiting for him in the future.

Two flowers bloom,

each showing its own beauty.

Dian Yin and his bandit brothers were successfully recruited into the barracks with their skills.

They thought that the good days were coming and they could settle down smoothly in Xiangyang County.

They never expected that they were doing winter training. They had to get ready for morning training at dawn. They had to run all over the mountains and fields with weights in the cold winter. It is said that this is the most basic thing. After they get used to it, they will increase the amount of training.

Dian Yin's huge stature is very conspicuous in the crowd, and his performance is good, so he was soon noticed.

The person who noticed him was none other than Jiang Pengji, who was complained by Qi Guan for slacking off.

She was wearing a thin brown dress, revealing a white wrist and slender ankle. The audience in the live broadcast room felt cold for her, but she looked fine, with her hands on her chest and followed Li Yun to check the newly recruited soldiers.

"That tall guy is not bad, he is a good material."

Li Yun saw that she was referring to Dian Yin and nodded in agreement.

"The training is quite heavy, and many people complain and even get angry. Very few people can keep calm, and he is one of them." When talking about business, Li Yun is always serious and steady, without any trace of naivety. "My lord, why don't you call him to test him?"

Leading troops to fight is the job of military generals. Now the only "generals" who can show off are Meng Hun, Luo Yue and Li Yun.

Jiang Pengji, the lord, can barely be considered one, but the people under her don't want her to always take the lead and take risks.

Now there is still enough manpower, but when the territory is larger and the battle line is extended in the future, this number of people is not enough.

It is very important to prepare for a rainy day and start looking for suitable candidates or training talents early.

Jiang Pengji held a wild grass root in his mouth, looking careless.

"No, let's wait and see."

Li Yun nodded, and the two continued to stand at the edge of the valley, watching the performance of the new recruits below.

After a while, the sergeant who trained the new recruits finally said that they should take a break. Hundreds of soldiers seemed to have their bones pulled out. They were so tired that they sat on the ground, panting. Even though the wind was cold, they still felt like they were in a furnace and were sweating profusely.

Dian Yin stood there for a while, and then sat on the ground to rest like others when he was breathing smoothly.

His action, plus his height, made him very conspicuous among the whole group of new recruits.

Jiang Pengji had some praise in her eyes and paid more attention to Dian Yin.

"It's really good."

The sergeants who trained the new recruits were all selected from the troops. They treated the new recruits equally, but they would be more partial to the new recruits who performed well and pay more attention to them.

Who wouldn't like someone like Dian Yin who listened carefully and paid attention to the training matters?

Because of this liking, when the new recruits rested and ate, Dian Yin received an egg in his food, and a spoonful of gravy was poured into the white porridge. Just smelling it made people hungry.

He ignored the envious or jealous looks from others, and buried his head in eating, not caring that the porridge was still a little hot.

He drank the whole bowl of porridge carefully, and the warm porridge went into his stomach, and his whole body exuded a lazy and comfortable warmth from the inside out.

He was about to send the pottery bowl back, and he heard other recruits talking, and the content of the conversation touched his sensitive nerves.

"Have you heard that there are women here..."

A recruit talked in a low voice with the recruit next to him. Although it was said to be in a low voice, in fact, everyone around could hear it.

"Women?" The man showed a look of disbelief, and then sneered, "...Even if there are, they are enjoyed by the people above..."

There are no women in the barracks. If there are women, they are serving the soldiers.

Washing clothes and cooking during the day, welcoming guests at night.

Dian Yin was furious. He couldn't believe that there was such a bad habit in the county.

Immediately, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and his fierce expression made people feel scared.

He asked the two people, "Are you telling the truth?"

The two recruits looked up when they heard the voice, and saw Dian Yin's appearance, and they all laughed, thinking that Dian Yin was thinking about women.

"Of course it's true. The county government is recruiting female soldiers. This is something that the whole county knows. Who wants to go..."

Jiang Pengji has amazing hearing ability. Hearing these movements, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Last time, it was decided to recruit 500 to 600 female soldiers, but in the end, only a little over 100 were willing to come. They were all thin and cowardly girls. Most of them had lost their parents and were forcibly escorted by their grandparents or other relatives.

When they came to register, they cried one by one, and their unwilling appearance made Jiang Pengji a little angry.

Her female soldiers' camp is not a garbage collection station. It is impossible for it to accept all kinds of scum.

Now, the root cause has been found.

"I say, did they misunderstand something?" Jiang Pengji pinched her chin, sneered at the corners of her lips, and said to Li Yun beside her, "Do these idiots think that I set up a female camp to give them a cycle of enjoyment, relieve their desires, and vent their animal nature? Tsk tsk!"

Li Yun wisely chose to remain silent.

He just found out that the female camp was misunderstood as a prostitute camp.
