Chapter 540: Expanding the Team

Most of the Zhou family's wealth consists of gold and silver treasures, as well as resources dedicated to cultivation.

The divine stones needed for god refining and the blood crystals needed for body refining can accelerate the speed of the two cultivation methods respectively. They are resources that can only be used by agility (second level) and above.

What's left is a lot of food.

At this time, because of their strong strength, practitioners could do anything in heaven or on earth. High-yielding crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn from all over the world were available in the Han Dynasty.

But the poor are still poor and have not become rich because of the increase in food production.

In the past, a piece of land could produce one thousand catties of grain, and the landlord would take away nine hundred catties. Now, if a piece of land can produce ten thousand catties, the landlord would take away nine thousand nine hundred catties.

The increase in grain production will only make the big landowners and families richer. It is wishful thinking for poor people to get rich.

As the largest family in Hao County, the Zhou family has enough food reserves to feed 10,000 ordinary people for ten years.

However, if it were replaced by 10,000 cultivators, they would probably only be able to survive for a year or even half a year.

After obtaining this huge property, Luo Zhi put away the sacred stones and blood crystals. As mentioned before, 10% of the remaining gold and silver treasures will be used for repairs, 10% to appease the civilians, and 80% to recruit troops.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Under the temptation of a large amount of gold and silver treasures, five to six hundred people signed up in just one day.

However, the strength of these people varies, and they still need to pass an assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can become Luo Zhi's subordinates.

On the third day after becoming the county magistrate, Luo Zhi built a huge execution platform in front of Zhou's house, where the captured Yellow Turban thieves and the former county magistrate would be executed.

The heads of various families in the city were invited by Luo Zhi to watch the execution, and the people of Hao County who heard the news also arrived one after another.

There were people standing in front of the execution platform.

Luo Zhi stood up first and pronounced the crimes of everyone present. He especially wrote a special letter to the former county magistrate. Especially for the yellow scarf thieves who entered the city gate and looted a few days ago, the main responsibility rested on him.

At the end of the story, all the people's eyes were red and they stared at the county magistrate fiercely, wishing they could drink blood and eat meat.

"Execution!"

At the command, the executioner waved the machete in his hand and killed the county magistrate instantly.

"good!"

"Well done!"

"Deserves to be killed!"

The people cheered.

The faces of each family are definitely not very pretty.

Only Luo Zhi looked at the rapidly rising reputation value on his panel and smiled.

On this day, blood was dripping, but the people were very excited and shouted at the wisdom of the new county magistrate.

Among the crowd, a man dressed as a hunter carrying a long bow looked at Luo Zhi who was standing on the execution platform, and a smile appeared on his face: "My benefactor, I finally found you!"

In the afternoon, Luo Zhi came to the site where the guards were being assessed to see how many people could be admitted this time.

The person in charge of the assessment is Hancock. As the king of Nine Snakes Island and the empress of the sea, Luo Zhi is not as good as her in terms of leading troops.

In addition, her sweet fruit ability can quickly increase the loyalty of soldiers, so Luo Zhi simply left the assessment to her.

And he himself just put forward a standard.

When he came here, Luo Zhi saw that all the people who had signed up were divided into three parts by the empress, and asked: "How many people are left who have not been assessed?"

"Those in the middle are all without assessment. Those on the left are eliminated, and those on the right are qualified."

Luo Zhi looked at the camp of the eliminated candidates on the left, and there were actually more than 300 people.

You know, there are only more than 500 people registered in total.

Moreover, this assessment is not over yet. When all assessments are over, there may be more.

"Why are there so many eliminated people?"

"Huh, these guys came because of your generous remuneration. Their quality is worrying. It's normal for them to be eliminated."

"Okay, you follow the standards and it's better to be deficient than to overdo it."

The assessment of these people is multifaceted, and strength is only the most basic part. Military capabilities are what Luo Zhi values.

After all, although he pretended to be recruiting guard soldiers, he actually wanted to take these people to the battlefield to participate in the battle between the eighteen princes against Dong.

However, he did not expect that the military quality of the people here was so low. You must know that before the assessment began, he had already considered the current situation in Hao County and lowered his standards by several levels.

"Even those who meet the standards may not be able to be taken directly to the battlefield. After recruiting Zhang Tiejiao's people, let them train these guys. After all, they are also veterans who have actually been on the battlefield."

Luo Zhi watched the assessment for a while, couldn't help shaking his head, turned around and left the assessment site.

As soon as I returned to the county government office, I saw a group of hunters standing at the gate of the county government office. When they saw him, they worshiped directly: "Meet the county magistrate!"

Luo Zhi saw that it was the group of hunters he had rescued a few days ago, and said with a smile: "It's you? Why are you here in the county?"

The leader said: "We came to the county town to sell some prey. We didn't expect to see you, let alone that you were the county magistrate. By the way, county magistrate, the tiger you killed last time is still with us.

I’ll keep it at home and I’ll bring it to you when I get back!”

Luo Zhidao: "No, it's just a tiger. You can share it among yourself."

As he said that, he looked at the group of hunters, his heart moved slightly, and said: "I don't know if you have seen my recruitment notice. I see that you are hunting in the mountains and forests. The harvest is unstable and there is great danger.

, it is better to join the guard soldiers and get a stable salary."

This statement made all the hunters excited.

They had already seen the recruitment notice when they came. The reward written on it was so generous that even the people in the county were moved, not to mention the hardships they had to make a living by hunting in the mountains.

The captain first said: "Mr. County Magistrate Meng has taken a fancy to me and I am willing to join!"

"I do too!"

"I do too!"

The hunters spoke one after another, and no one said they were unwilling.

Luo Zhi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I see your skills, and I want them all. In addition, are there any equally outstanding hunters in your own village or other surrounding villages? If you can recruit them, I will

There are many rewards.

If you recruit one person, you will receive a month’s salary directly; if you recruit ten people, I will directly pay you a year’s salary!”

When the hunters heard this, their faces turned red with excitement, obviously stimulated by this huge reward.

The captain said: "Don't worry, county magistrate, all the men in our village are good hunters! There are also many strong men around the village, and I will definitely recruit them all for you."

"Okay! I'm waiting for you to come back."

The hunters left excitedly, and a hint of joy flashed in Luo Zhi's eyes.

Although the hunter in the mountains and forests may not be a qualified soldier, he is definitely better than the people in this county.
