The next day was the day for Yun Chao to recruit new people.
Early in the morning, dozens of young people from Wolong Village gathered in the sun drying field in high spirits, waiting for the assessment.
Yun Chao did not start immediately. This time, the recruitment scope was relatively large, not only Wolong Village, but also people from other villages guaranteed by his boys.
Perhaps because they were afraid of missing the opportunity, the boys from other villages also came early. Not long after Yun Chao finished breakfast, everyone came.
Before the assessment, Yunchao had already obtained the guarantee list.
Each of the boys under Yun Chao can only guarantee one, and the quality of the guaranteed person must be guaranteed. It doesn't matter if the physical quality is not up to standard. Once misbehavior is discovered, the guarantor must be held responsible!
Therefore, all the boys are very cautious. If they don't have suitable relatives and friends, they would rather let the quota be canceled than dare to do anything wrong.
The most typical example is Ma Ming. His grandmother's family had no one of the right age. After his grandmother's neighbor heard about it, he sent two buckets of grain to his uncle, hoping that Ma Ming would vouch for an idle guy.
Ma Ming's uncle's eyes lit up when he saw the grain, and he took it without saying anything. He patted his chest and promised that Ma Ming was his nephew and the whole matter would be taken care of by him!
Ma Ming was a kid, so he didn't know the virtues of his grandma's neighbor's children. Hearing his uncle's boasts, he couldn't argue with him, so he had to agree.
When she came back and said it, Ma Mingniang's face immediately turned pale.
"Son, how dare you vouch for him? If Brother Chao finds out, you will be finished..."
After listening to my mother's introduction, Ma Ming was so frightened that he was covered in white hair.
so close!
It almost led to a big mistake!
Others don't know, how could Ma Ming and other boys under Yun Chao not know how much Yun Chao hates people who break the rules.
Huang San is a bloody example. If something goes wrong with the guarantor, even if Yun Chao doesn't punish him as he did with Huang San, he will never give him any good consequences!
"Mom, my uncle is trying to harm our family!"
After knowing the truth, Ma Ming was so angry that he almost broke off the relationship with his grandfather's family, and his mother was also very angry.
When their family couldn't open the pot and almost starved to death, they received almost no support from their parents' family.
Fortunately, Ma Ming was selected by Yun Chao, so the whole family survived.
Now his uncle actually almost caused Ma Ming to be punished by Yun Chao for a little profit. To put it more seriously, it was not much different from destroying people's financial paths!
Ma Ming was smarter this time and told the matter directly without hiding it.
At this moment, all the boys under Yun Chao were on alert. No wonder Brother Chao often said that you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Sometimes your own people can trick your own people, which is more terrifying than the enemy!
With Ma Ming's example in front of them, the other boys all confirmed it repeatedly, inquired in many ways, and repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the person they wanted to guarantee, and then they dared to report their name to Yun Chao.
This time, at least three names were crossed out from the original list, which is enough to show the caution of all the boys.
This incident not only sounded the alarm to all the boys under Yun Chao, but also gave a wake-up call to the helpers working on the construction site.
Yun Chao has said that new helpers will be recruited soon. In addition to those from this village, all those from other villages need to be guaranteed.
We can't be like Ma Ming, who was tricked out of nowhere!
…
Standing on the earth platform of the grain drying field, Yun Chao looked down at the boys taking part in the assessment.
There are sixty or seventy people from this village and less than twenty from other villages. Together, there are more than eighty people.
Yun Chao has recruited people several times, and all his boys have experience. After Yun Chao said a few words briefly, he waved his hand and the assessment officially began!
This time, the eyesight is tested first, and those with poor eyesight will be eliminated directly, so there is no need to run around for a long time.
After testing the eyesight, the next step is to lift the stone lock. If your strength is too weak, there is no need to run anymore.
After a few levels, running is the last step. After all, everyone is short of food. Putting running at the end can save the energy of some unqualified people.
Of course, as before, Yun Chao was not stingy. After all the assessments were over, he gave everyone a bowl of fragrant millet porridge.
I don’t know whether it’s because everyone has been exercising or because the food has improved recently. More people passed the test this time than before.
More than thirty boys passed through Wolong Village itself.
The boys from other villages were also unambiguous. Maybe Yun Chao's boys had made a selection in advance when they were vouching for the guarantee. The ones who took part in the assessment were all in relatively good health, and a dozen of them actually passed.
Altogether, there are a total of forty-eight qualified people!
I don't know what kind of nerve Yun Chao had this time. He didn't engage in the same competition mechanism as before and just accepted them all.
Of course, before accepting it, Yun Chao said to train and see, and if it doesn't work, return it.
Yun Chao originally had twenty-one boys under his command, but now he has recruited forty-eight more, and his manpower has suddenly expanded to sixty-nine!
Sixty or seventy teenage boys, if placed in future generations, would be a class of middle school students.
But in the Dawu Dynasty, especially in a small and remote place like Wolong Village, it was already a quite powerful force!
Yun Chao is confident that once these No. 60 or 70 people are trained, if he encounters the bandits from Heisongling again, he will be able to defeat the bandits without anyone else at all!
Next, Yun Chao has a lot to do. In addition to arranging accommodation for the boys from other villages, he also has to sign contracts with the parents of all the newcomers.
Yun Chao did not intend to omit this step. Although the symbolic significance was greater than the actual effect, Yun Chao still meticulously signed the contract and pressed fingerprints with each boy's family one by one.
This is called the sense of ritual, and it works no matter when.
There are many people fleeing famine in Wolong Village, and there are many empty houses. Arranging a dozen boys is not a problem at all.
What's more, Yun Chao doesn't intend to let them live there for a long time. Houses have begun to be built on the north bank of Wolong Valley. Once the houses are built, they will be allowed to move there.
Not only the men from other villages, Yun Chao plans to move all his men, as well as their families, to the north bank of Wolong Valley in the future.
The current Wolong Village is a small, isolated village with no one to rely on. Once it encounters the power of a large bandit, it will be easily defeated.
The north bank of Wolong Gorge is different. It is a natural defensive location. As long as the bridge over Wolong Gorge is demolished, the enemy will only be able to stare at him unless he passes through Wolong Gorge!
Of course, the enemy can also come over from the northern mountain.
However, for a small village, no one would put in so much effort. After climbing out of the mountains, they might be exhausted first.
After a whole busy day, Yun Chao finally finished his work.
Um? What's going on? Why hasn't that boy Zhang Sihai come back yet?
