"Those who join our anti-bandit team can eat three meals a day. At least one meal of meat for two days. If there is extra training in the evening, you can have an extra meal. Each person can be assigned at least four sets of clothes every year, and two summer clothes. One set, two sets of winter clothes for replacement.”
Zhang Rui's words made everyone feel as excited as if they had been given blood. It was as if they were already a member of the bandit-suppression team. Every sentence made them want to stop, and they wished they could join the bandit-suppression team immediately.
The enthusiasm and excitement are even hotter than the scorching sun.
Looking at this "raging crowd" situation. Zhang Rui sighed silently in his heart. Sure enough, money can make the world go round. In the face of interests, what is danger? What is a trap in front of meat?
At this time, the villagers will not think about whether Zhang Rui can afford such money or provide such benefits, let alone life-threatening things. They only care about whether they can join the bandit suppression team, how long they can stay in the bandit suppression team, and whether they can get this honor.
Under the guidance of such a generous salary, bandits are nothing, and fate is nothing. As long as they can get in and take the An family's money, they will not lose.
"Brother Six, from our hometown, do you think I'm qualified..."
"Brother Six, I'm the best at fighting bandits. I also practiced with others a few times back then. Look at my strength." As he said this, the man raised his hand, looking for something to prove. one time. But he found nothing that could be used to prove his strength, so he clenched his fists and exposed the muscles on his arms.
"Go, go, go, just because you have some meat doesn't mean you have strength, okay? Don't look at us now, we are a little thin, we farmers don't have a few ounces of strength. Brother Six, don't look at me like this, I am a little thin, but I am not weak, It’s no problem to pick something weighing one to two hundred kilograms..." A thinner man said hurriedly
"That's right, Sixth Brother, I'm a little thinner now, but my strength is definitely not small..."
"Brother Six, let's put it this way! I have a huge grudge against the bandits. If I don't kill the bandits, I will never feel better in my life. You must take me to kill the bandits..."
………
The villagers have different opinions. Anyway, they have only one purpose, to join Zhang Ruishuo's bandit suppression team.
Many people from neighboring villages tried to squeeze in to talk and show their faces, but they were pushed out. He was working there in a hurry, even trying to push away the villagers in Datong Village, but to no avail. For people in Datong Village: Want to come in? Just kidding, for such a good thing, our village can still leave the place to you if we don’t occupy it first.
Zhang Rui looked at them quietly. Sure enough, only interests can mobilize enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
"I wonder how many people Brother Six is going to recruit to form this bandit suppression team this time?" some more rational people asked.
Zhizhi felt tired at this time and suddenly became quiet. A natural wind blows, and the leaves sway and make a rustling sound. A cool feeling came for a while.
Hearing this, the crowd suddenly became quiet, quietly waiting for Zhang Rui's answer.
"I only want thirty people."
"Only thirty people? There are more than this number of young people in our village. It seems that we have to show our hometown skills and work hard. If we get in, our family can live a worry-free life." The villagers gathered around Zhang Rui The villagers couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this time, people from the neighboring village shouted outside the crowd: "Brother Six, I am the big dog of Spatula Village. I wonder if people from my Spatula Village can come to run for election..."
The young men in neighboring villages cast grateful glances at the young man called Big Dog.
"Yes, we are all fellow villagers. We will meet you as long as you meet my conditions and meet my requirements." Zhang Rui replied to him with a smile on his face.
"I wonder what conditions Sixth Brother has?" asked Li Ba, a thin-faced man from the same village who was wearing tattered, patched linen clothes.
"Uncle Li Ba has a good question." Zhang Rui said to him.
"The people I recruit only need to be between the ages of sixteen and thirty."
"Can't it be smaller or larger?" someone who didn't meet the requirements asked reluctantly.
"No, if you are too young, you will have no strength, if you are too old, you will have no energy. I want to select people to kill the bandits, not to let everyone die. I have to be responsible for the entire team and their families." Zhang Rui Said very seriously
Many people who clearly did not meet the conditions echoed and expressed their understanding and agreement with Zhang Rui's words. At the same time, they all praised Zhang Rui for his responsible words. After all, although money to appease him is good, no one wants to separate family members.
Most of the unqualified people gave up their positions. There are people on the edge of conditions who take chances.
"If someone lies about his age, even if he joins my anti-bandit team and is found out by me, I will not only get Anjia's money back, but I also want him to pay me compensation for mental damages and twenty taels for lost work. And if he lies about his age, , even if you are injured and killed in the end, I will not give you any money to comfort you. So those who are lucky should be self-aware."
As soon as these words came out, many people who were lucky enough to step back and give up their positions.
Zhang Rui looked at everyone with satisfaction.
"Besides age, what other requirements does Sixth Brother have?" Someone asked after knowing that Zhang Rui's food was not so easy to mess around with.
"Everyone who joins the anti-bandit team must have a family. If there is no family, two families need to be guarantors."
"Why do you need someone to guarantee it?" someone asked in confusion.
"You are stupid. If there is no one willing to vouch for it, and he takes the An family's money and runs away, who do you want Brother Six to go to?" Someone who understood immediately answered him.
"Yes." Zhang Rui nodded to the person who replied to him. Although Zhang Rui said this, he was more concerned that people with family members or guarantors would feel more at ease when using it. After all, they would have concerns.
Regarding this, the villagers had no other opinions. Instead, they were secretly happy that they met the conditions. After all, few people would be without family members.
"Then what else is there?" Those who met the two conditions felt excited, feeling as if they were one step closer to success, and asked anxiously.
"You have to be strong."
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. They couldn't fight and kill the bandits, so they all agreed with Zhang Rui's words.
"So, how can we be considered strong?" A somewhat thin man asked worriedly.
"It's enough if you can lift a sixty-pound stone lock without taking ten breaths." Zhang Rui thought about it and said.
Sixty pounds? Ten breaths? I should be able to pass this level of difficulty if I grit my teeth!
"Is there any more?"
The person who felt that he could pass the third item asked anxiously.
"You also need to be able to run and know how to run."
The onlookers were happy when they heard this. What kind of condition is this? Brother Six is not joking! Which farmer can't run ten miles? The first three are relatively reliable, so what does it mean to be able to run and run?
Some people thought they heard it wrong. Didn't they say they were going to kill bandits? Is it reasonable to say that it can run? Does it mean that it can escape? So I couldn't help my doubts and asked again
"Can run, can run? What does this mean? Brother Six, you are right! Or did I hear wrongly?"
"Yes, you just have to be able to run and know how to run!"
Zhang Rui looked like I was not joking at all.
