"Okay, then please show your skills. As long as you meet the requirements, you will be admitted." Liu Jun waved his hand with a smile and asked them to come out for the test.

There is no need to test the age and height. These monks are young and strong, with bald heads on each side, but they are all very strong, with a height of basically over 1.7 meters. The monks who practice martial arts all year round are indeed different.

The third level tests strength, and there is no problem.

Under the gaze of countless onlookers, the eight monks stepped forward one after another. Instead of holding up the stone lock, they walked directly to the 200-pound Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

This iron-cast sword borrowed from Guan Gong Temple is extremely heavy.

However, the monks who came forward one after another danced like flying, lifted heavy weights as if they were light, and even danced with a set of sword techniques. This was the most beautiful performance in this level since the recruitment today, and immediately received a group of applause from the onlookers.

Liu Jun was also very surprised. Unexpectedly, these monks were indeed not simple. He could only barely play with a big sword of two hundred pounds, but after dancing the sword technique, the monks did not blush or sweat, and their strength was really strong.

"Beautiful, the divine powers of all the mages."

The leading monk looked calm, "Please lead the horse."

"Wang Qian, bring the horse over."

Wang Qian and others led their mounts over, eight tall horses lined up, and eight monks walked forward and took the reins. Then they mounted the horse neatly and skillfully, which was amazing. The eight horses were extremely tame, and had no cooperation with him, and did not resist at all.

"Helping!" Eight bald monks were riding on horses in monk's clothes and began to jog in the circle. A few even came to hide from each other from time to time. One of them stood directly on the saddle, opened their hands, and couldn't even control the reins.

This wonderful riding technique immediately ushered in a louder wave of cheers, and Liu Jun also lit up his eyes. He didn't even have such riding technique.

He looked at Li Zhen, the servant head of Li Chunjiang next to him, "How?"

Li Zhen smacked his lips, "I can't do this without seven or eight years of experience."

Professionals are so sure that there is no problem with the horse riding assessment. On this item, Liu Jun personally scored it and gave the monks the highest score.

"How many mages are there?"

"No desire, no self, no mind, no thought, no action, no evil, no color, no emptiness."

Liu Jun, who was holding the pen, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Good name."

The last test shot.

Ten bows were placed on the field, from five forces to fifteen forces.

The monks didn't directly choose fifteen bows this time. They went forward one after another, and they all chose ten bows, commonly known as one stone bow.

This is equivalent to more than one hundred pounds of pulling force, and Liu Jun himself uses this kind of bow.

Eight monks without fonts stepped forward one after another, rode and shot first, and then shot step by step.

The 25-step hiking steps, 80-step hiking steps. Each of them shoots ten arrows, basically all of them can get over seven out of ten. This grade is very beautiful. Moreover, these monks are all literate. They are all orphans. They have grown up in temples and received training from a young age. At the same time, chanting scriptures and practicing Buddhism is also a must-have homework. Therefore, in addition to having good martial arts, they are also considered cultural people.

Liu Jun sighed in his heart that if they were not for a group of monks, they would have been a group of quite perfect recruits. However, monks were not a problem.

The recruitment of this day can be said that these eight monks were the biggest gain, and they finally recruited them for a long time. But there were no more outstanding people as many monks. But in the end, the shorter ones were taller and twenty more were selected.

There are more than ten hunters, all from the mountainous areas in the north of Macheng. They are naturally mountainous areas, so they are very poor. They mainly rely on hunting to make a living. Many of them are good hunters, and they can shoot good arrows and set traps. Liu Jun carefully selected more than ten archers from these hunters, and they are the best. At the same time, they are young, tall, strong, and extremely strong.

I chose a few more riding skills. These were originally the postmen who were stationed and had good horse skills. In the early years, the postmen were cut and there was no business. It was not good to have a random job. This time, I was able to earn a good job based on my skills.

Finally, a few craftsmen were recruited, including veterinarians, surgeons, as well as blacksmiths, carpenters, cooks, grooms, etc. These people were considered logistics personnel.

Liu Jun finally took the roster and read it. Today, he recruited a total of forty townsmen and ten logistics personnel. With Liu Jun’s twelve brothers and Li Chunjiang’s eight servants, their horse team members were initially recruited, with seventy members, plus Li Chunjiang and Liu Jun, a total of seventy-two.

"Send buns to everyone, everyone has a portion, two buns and two buns for each person." Li Chunjiang finally rushed over from home and brought several trucks of freshly prepared buns. In addition, he brought a stove, and started to build a stove on the spot, and started cooking white porridge and egg soup for distribution.

"Today, a total of forty people were recruited." Liu Jun handed the recruitment list to Li Chunjiang.

Li Chunjiang looked at it, then looked at the forty new recruits of the villages sitting under the willow tree over there. He was a little surprised to see a few of them with bright bald heads and those monk robes. Then he saw Liu Jun explaining the assessment results of the eight monks in detail in the recruitment book, and said nothing.

"Will you continue to recruit more tomorrow? Let's talk about recruiting more than 100 people?" Li Chunjiang asked. In Li Chunjiang's opinion, there were too few forty people. As for his servants and Liu Jun's brothers, he was not included in the village warriors. In his opinion, these people should be considered as the two servants' teams.

Liu Jun shook his head, "I think it's enough to recruit so many for the time being. First, we'll recruit almost all the suitable ones today. If we recruit them again, we may not be able to recruit any suitable soldiers. Second, we don't have many soldiers, so we will recruit these first and train them, and it's not too late to recruit them. There are too many new recruits, and it's not easy to lead them. Moreover, there are too many soldiers and the expenses are big. Anjia silver alone is not a small number. Besides, we can't just recruit soldiers. If we recruit soldiers, we have to pay. In addition, we have to buy horses and equipment. This is the big end."

They were village groups, so they had no food and salary from the court. Liu Jun didn't want to recruit soldiers but had no money to buy equipment.

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll solve the money problem, and horses and weapons are not a problem." Li Chunjiang was very calm, "But since you think you can recruit so many first, then let's listen to you."

"Tonight, the Li family will hold a banquet. We will invite all the gentry, famous landlords and wealthy businessmen in Macheng to come. We will also have to show up tonight. I will bring a thousand taels of silver. You will give everyone the silver gift first, and then give them a monthly salary first, and then go to the garment shop to buy a new set of clothes. Tonight, everyone must be more energetic."

The Li family held a banquet? Liu Jun's mind changed and he had almost thought of some possibilities, "Do you plan to ask your uncle to come forward to raise funds and raise funds for us?"

Li Chunjiang smiled softly, "We formed a township horse team to ensure the safety of one side. How can we make both efforts and money? Of course, we have to contribute money with money and strong efforts. Don't worry, when the banquet tonight is over, we will not have to worry about money to support the army."

Liu Jun felt that things would not be that simple.

In history, Emperor Chongzhen later wanted to transfer the Guanning Army into the capital, but he needed to pay one million taels of money to mobilize the Guanning Army. Then the treasury had no money, so Chongzhen asked all the officials of the court to donate silver and drafted a list of them, pledging silver according to the size of the official position, hoping to raise the millions to transfer the Guanning Army into the capital.

As a result, the ministers in the court were more poor than each one who could pretend to be poorer than each other. Chongzhen asked to donate 50,000, but in the end he donated 500, or even 100, and there were fifty, but in the end he couldn't get the money.

Now I want these gentry in Macheng to pay for it, but I’m afraid it won’t be so easy.
Chapter completed!
