Chapter 162 Xuan Yu

A very important job for recruitment is also a very cumbersome and troublesome job. Sometimes it is boring and meaningless. Sitting there all day long, watching the tall men show their solid muscles, and looking at those skinny guys, Bai Qi had the urge to vomit.

However, on such days, Bai Qi had to do these boring things on the left side of the gate of the Wangdu Guard Division's military camp in the late autumn.

As the saying goes, a good man does not make a fool of himself, and a hero does not join the army. Not everyone is willing to join the army to fight on the battlefield. After all, he may die at any time. No one likes such things. Who doesn’t know that your wife and children will live a better life? Why do you go to join the army without any trouble? So unless the country calls on you, few people join the army independently.

However, that was in the world where Bai Qi was in the past, but it was not the case in the Tianen Continent. Many people, especially warriors, like to enter the army. Not only can they train themselves, but they are also the best way for civilian practitioners to obtain advanced skills and gain fame and fortune. What's more, everyone in this world is martial, the strong are admired by others, and the status of soldiers is not low. Although they are still under the nobles, they are at least one level higher than civilians, so there are still many people willing to join the army. After all, there are oppressions everywhere in this world, and those civilians want to change their lives and get the only way out for military affairs.

This is especially true in Bavaria. It is not because the people of Bavaria live in a hot and crazi manner, but because the whole of Bavaria has given enough benefits to the military personnel with a good system. As long as the country always actively supports the people, there is no phenomenon of being unable to recruit troops.

Because an ordinary soldier in Bavaria can have a salary of ten silver coins per month, and if the soldier's family is a civilian, he can receive a reward of half of the tax during the family's military service or half of the tax, that is, the military's family will only collect half of the tax. If a slave soldier has been in the army for five years and has not died in the battle, the whole family of a slave who has not died in the battle for ten years and has been in the army for ten years and has been in the army for life. The family of a disabled soldier who has been in the army for three years and each person can receive ten gold coins compensation.

These generous conditions have made countless slaves and civilians willing to join the army, so it goes without saying that the civilians have even escaped secretly and fled to the military camp to join the army. Because the laws of the kingdom stipulate that all slaves join the army will be protected by law. As long as they are admitted, they will be soldiers, and the masters of the slaves will not be embarrassed, otherwise they will be punished by law. In other words, they will be protected after entering the army. If they survive, they can escape from their slaves' hometown. And it is also possible.

To obtain civilian status for the family... This is what countless slaves yearn for. Of course... Under normal circumstances, the masters will establish contracts with excellent slaves so that they cannot escape. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled masters are too lazy to care about them, because although the Bavarian regulations exist, the old, weak, sick and disabled are destined to be unable to enter the military camp. However, this is how countless slaves still do not care about so many people who escape secretly and join the army for the sake of that glimmer of hope.

Of course, there is another point that the nobles sometimes do not prevent slaves from joining the army, which is the law of service of the nobles. The law stipulates that all nobles must serve in the military. If they do not go, each noble will have to give ten slaves to replace them. And according to their titles, a successor to the duke will have to send a thousand strong slaves to serve in the military. Once these slaves have been in the army for five years, they will automatically break away from the other party's control.

However, although this law is good, it has gradually become abandoned after so many years. Slaves join the army is simply a dream. Except for the nobles' military service, there will be slave soldiers accidents. Most of the soldiers are civilians. Such generous conditions have also made Bavarian civilians join the army enthusiastically. Every time the recruitment is several times the amount of recruitment, people come to participate. After all, the entire Bavaria has a billion people, which is why... The reason why His Majesty the King recently formed ten legions and was full in an instant.

It is precisely because of this reason that Bai Qi, as the chief official, had to sit there with Soren and Wang Jun, and brought dozens of personal soldiers to select people there, constantly revisiting the upper bodies of countless strong men there.

Of course, Bai Qi was basically not very involved. The two old acquaintances of Soren and Wang Hai, led a group of personal soldiers and the subordinate officers who were thrown by Wang Hai, got everything done... But Bai Qi still couldn't leave. In Sauron's words, at least Bai Qi had to pretend.

"Please...let me join the army...please...I want to join the army...as long as you let me join the army, I can do anything." A weak voice sounded from a distance, a little tender, and it sounded like a weak feeling. The owner of this voice was a thin boy with a small figure, only twelve or twelve years old, with long hair draped over his shoulders, and some scattered covering his face. His clothes were torn and tidy, without any tidy feeling. At this time, he was kneeling in front of a lower-level officer in charge of recruitment and begging helplessly.

"Go away... Go away quickly. Don't affect us... Boy, you are too weak and not suitable for joining the army at all. And at your age, go home and practice for a few more years before you come." The officer said impatiently. He could see several such people every time he recruited. He was no longer surprised. Looking at the boy's appearance, he thought that the slave who escaped from the noble family wanted to enter the military camp.

Every year when recruiting soldiers, there are many fugitive slaves in the noble family, but few are qualified for physical fitness. After all, those slaves work all day long without enough food and clothing, and rarely have strong bodies, which are not qualified at all. Moreover, it is obviously not worth offending some nobles for these people, so the officer is so impatient...

"What's wrong? What happened?" Bai Qi frowned and walked over, whispering to the lower-level officer in front of him.

"Sir... This kid wants to join the army, but you see, his appearance is not qualified at all." The lower-level officer hurriedly saluted Bai Qi and said respectfully after seeing Bai Qi. Before they came here, they had already received Wang Hai's order to be loyal to Bai Qi from now on. Because Wang Hai had decided to let Bai Qi inherit his will, Wang Hai's former subordinates still respect Bai Qi very much. Many of them came from the 21st Legion, knew Bai Qingtian, and had worked under Bai Qingtian. At this time, there was no one who followed Bai Qi and was dissatisfied with him...

The young man who was holding the lower-level officer who was not listening to the words of the officer, hurriedly climbed in front of Bai Qi, and kept kowtowing to Bai Qi while crying and shouting, "Sir... Please... Please let me join the army... Please... Please... Please...."

"Well...Why do you want to join the army so much? You have to know that your body is not qualified... And you are still so young, so wait for a few years when you go back..." Bai Qi frowned and said, "It's not a wartime period, and there is no danger, but Bai Qi will not open the Internet because of this. If he did this, then the next day, the king would probably have thousands of extra escaped slaves and ran here, and he wouldn't be able to do it at that time...

"Sir. Please... I must promise me... Although I am young, I can endure hardships... I really can do whatever I want, as long as you arrange me... I promise to do everything... Please accept me and don't drive me away." The young man said in a low voice to Bai Qi in front of him.

"You are a runaway slave... Isn't you here because you don't want to continue being a slave?" Bai Qi frowned and asked calmly after hearing this. It's a slave who doesn't want to continue being a slave, but this world has the rules of this world. Bai Qi never thought about trying to change anything. Bai Qi doesn't have this ability or ability, although slavery is not good.

"This...I...I am...but...I am...I don't want to be a slave for myself. I beg you, I must agree to me, I promise...I will continue to be a slave even if I have been in the army for five years. I just want you to accept me and help my sister get out of slavery at that time...I want to go from military service for my mother and sister...I beg you to agree to me, even if I am a slave for the rest of my life..." The young man heard Bai Qi's words for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, and he kept kowtowing while speaking, and blood was obviously stained on the loess on the ground.

"Well...why, you want to do this?" Bai Qi asked again..

"I...my sister...my sister was called to serve the master to bed last year, and then... she was left by the master. Although my sister didn't want it, she still stayed. But half a year ago, the master sold her sister to a brothel, and then she died after staying there for half a year. Before her death, my sister asked someone to send me a message. I told me to find a way to prevent my sister from losing the same result as her... Adult... My sister is only five years old this year. But she is very cute. My sister said that in the future, her sister will definitely be a beautiful woman.

People, but... if a beautiful woman is a slave, it will definitely be more miserable than death. So... I want my sister to escape from slavery... and...my mother is fifty years old...her body is getting worse and worse. I want...to get my mother out of slavery as soon as possible...and with my sister...this way, even if she dies, I will be satisfied...Sir...I beg you...must agree to me...please." The boy kept kowtowing, tears and blood were already mixed all over the floor.

After hearing this, Bai Qi sighed in his heart, looked at the young man in front of him and said lightly: "What's your name?"

"My name is Xuanyu..." the young man hesitated and replied.
