Zhang Rui's words made Du Mu feel as uncomfortable as eating shit and drinking water from his mouth. Although it is still uncomfortable, it is much better than before.
"Twenty percent is not bad. Since Zhang Liu said he would give two percent, he would definitely get 20%." Du Mu thought to himself.
So, he did not hesitate to tell Zhang Rui where Li Ba hid his silver. Zhang Rui was very happy and directly rewarded him with one hundred taels of silver, and Du Mu accepted it without ceremony.
Zhang Rui stuffed the found property, the fifty thousand taels of silver notes, into his arms without ceremony. As for the other gold bars and silver, Zhang Rui asked Du Mu to take people to move to Liu Muxiu's place and put them in the general ledger.
………
When Zhang Rui returned to the hall where he had finished breakfast and rested, everyone was still discussing what kind of soldiers to choose.
"Have you all decided which type of army you want to be in?" Zhang Rui asked, looking at everyone.
"yes…"
…
"Okay, now those who want to be sword and shield soldiers stand in line here, those who want to be spearmen stand here, those who want to be archers stand over there, and those who want to be scouts stand there." Zhang Rui pointed at the locations one by one. They all pointed out.
Listening to Zhang Rui's words, the team members lined up one by one at the military units they wanted to do.
…
After a while, the chaotic crowd gradually calmed down. Zhang Rui couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the people standing at various locations.
There are eight people serving as scouts, which is more reasonable. There are fifteen archers, which makes sense. But there were sixty-two sword and shield soldiers, and the rest were spearmen.
Except for the twelve people who were on guard at this time, there were only twenty-eight people who were willing to choose to be spearmen. If not two of the twelve people want to be spearmen, then all the spears he has now will be redundant, not to mention the fifty more spears he has customized with Li Laibao.
"It seems there is a big gap between reality and imagination!" Zhang Rui couldn't help but think as he looked at the imbalanced proportions.
"It's a shame that I still want to form a spear formation that is highly praised by countless time-traveling seniors."
Zhang Rui didn't know if the Spear Formation was really powerful. A great man once said: Experimentation brings true knowledge. No one can say for sure without trying it. Since this result is everyone’s choice, let’s let it be like this for now!
The next step is to train them well and get through the current hurdle.
At this time, Du Mu, who sent the money to the bank, happened to be back. Zhang Rui looked at this guy with a beard at the corner of his mouth and suddenly lamented the importance of talent. After others traveled through time, various celebrities and capable people came to help them one after another. Why do all the people I meet are incompetent in culture and martial arts?
"Hey, we can only make the best use of everything." Zhang Rui sighed unconsciously.
So he ordered Du Mu to take people to draw paper balls and draw lots, and then sent people to ask the sentry people what they meant.
"whisper."
After a busy morning, Zhang Rui relaxed and realized that he hadn't had breakfast yet. Then he asked everyone to take a rest first, while he went to get breakfast and ate it hurriedly.
In Zhang Rui's view, it was just a common move, but everyone's eyes were filled with emotion.
"It turns out that when we were eating, Brother Six was so busy that he can only eat now. There should be no leader in the world anymore, right?"
Zhang Rui, who was eating breakfast, naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking. His mind was full of how to teach them next.
Maybe I was really hungry, so I ate very quickly, and the entire breakfast was gone within a few seconds. When the servant came to collect his tableware, he handed it to him politely and said "thank you" to him.
Zhang Rui's "thank you" made the servants who collected the tableware very excited, and everyone was even more positive about Zhang Rui.
The Qing Dynasty was the most repressive dynasty among all feudal dynasties. Do poor people and servants count as human beings in the eyes of rich and powerful people? It was just a talking animal. Who cares about how the animals feel? So if they want to say thank you to the poor people, maybe they can do it while daydreaming.
In their view, no matter how well people do under you poor people, it is still their duty. As long as they make a small mistake or are in a bad mood, they have to take off their pants at the door and get slapped on the wall. Otherwise, where will their memory be?
In an unequal society, equality is something they never dare to think about in their lifetime.
Zhang Rui let them choose their favorite arms and let them draw lots. In Zhang Rui's opinion, he just wants to follow their interests and make them work harder when training.
As for drawing lots, I just want to disperse them for a fair reason, so as not to make one small group after another difficult to manage.
These ordinary and routine actions, in the eyes of people who have never experienced fair treatment, are a great respect for them. This small amount of respect made them feel that they could die for a leader like Zhang Rui without any regrets.
…
Soon, Du Mu came over with the paper balls he had prepared, and the people who were sent to ask questions at this time also came back with the results.
Sure enough, there were still more sword and shield soldiers. Seven of the twelve people chose to be sword and shield soldiers, and the remaining five chose to be spear soldiers. Those who choose to be sword and shield soldiers feel that using swords is more like a man, while those who choose to be spear soldiers think that spears are safer.
Through drawing lots, the teams were quickly divided.
The swordsmen and shields are divided into seven teams, with one person missing; the spearmen are divided into four teams, with seven people missing; the archers are divided into two teams, with five people missing; the scout team is divided into one team, two people missing.
"It seems there are still not enough manpower. We will have to recruit people in a while." Zhang Rui thought to himself.
"Then, I'm going to teach you martial arts. Everyone of you, please pay attention. I will only practice it once. If you don't understand, just ask me." After saying that, Zhang Rui paused and continued.
"Three days later, I will conduct a martial arts assessment. Anyone who is interested in being a team leader can participate. Those who excel in martial arts will be able to lead a team of ten people. At the same time, you can add five coins of monthly silver and one dou of salary to your monthly salary. .”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited. So someone asked
"Is this an official position?"
"Officer? It's okay to say official, but he's not an official of the imperial court, he's just the leader of our anti-bandit team." Zhang Rui thought for a moment and replied.
"How can the officials of the imperial court be as good as our bandit suppression team..."
"That's right, as long as I follow Brother Six, I won't do anything even if the court gives me a job..."
"Come on, you won't even do it to me. I'm afraid you'll be so messed up that you'll even forget who you are..."
"How is it possible? Am I an ungrateful person? Unless Brother Six asks me to do it, I won't go. Those Wenquxing masters are too powerful..."
"Oh, so you are scared. That's right, you don't even look at it. Liu Muxiu, a scholar and husband, is so scheming. You, a mud-legged person who has been here for generations, don't let others sell you and have to calculate the money..."
…
The team members were all having a lively discussion. At this time, someone asked Zhang Rui
"Brother Six, what is this official name? What's the point?"
"Well, my bandit suppression team looks like this. There are ten people in one flag, one small flag and one deputy flag. The three small flags form a general flag. There is one general flag, two deputy general flags, and three small flags. Each general banner has one chief executive and two deputy chief executives..." Zhang Rui came one by one.
"Is there any official behind Mr. Bai?" someone asked again.
When Zhang Rui heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy: "This guy is very ambitious, but that's fine. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!"
"Yes, it depends on whether you have the ability to sit on it..."
Zhang Rui's words made everyone booed in response to the questions.
"Zhou Xigou, you always act like a fool, and you're still thinking about Mr. Bai..."
"That's right, you probably just want to be a soldier..."
…
"Who said that? I will try my best to make a small flag for you in three days..." Zhou Xigou yelled.
