Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 338 Busy Recruiting Guards Outside the City

The porridge factory run by the imperial court is located in the east of the city, so this is also the place where the most disaster victims gather.

In an awning near Xincao Gate, Fatty stood in front of a large public sign, which read:

"Jingshitang is recruiting people, asking for..."

Of course, don't expect any of the victims at this time to be literate, so the thin man was beating a steel gong, and slowly, he began to surround a large group of victims.

This kind of scene happens several times a day. When the gong sounds, the victims will know that another big family in the city has come to "buy people".

But this time is quite special. The Jingshitang Medical Center in the city is recruiting people. It is stated that only young men between the ages of 15 and 18 are required, and they are required to be physically strong, but they have to sign a death contract.

Of course, the conditions are also very generous. As long as the admission is made, the family members will be given two stones of rice, which is equivalent to 240 catties.

Some people may call Chen Buer a profiteer, buying a person and signing a death contract, it is too dark to only give such a small amount of food.

But everyone, don’t forget that in this troubled world and disaster year, a servant girl bought by another family only has a bag of coarse grains, and the old rice soaked with small stones does not exceed 50 catties.

In contrast, Jingshitang here is simply the Avalokitesvara who saves the suffering.

Besides, too much food is definitely not a good thing. There have been "civil upheavals" among the victims outside the city. Now it's just that the victims are robbing each other, and it is possible to attack the city later.

Whoever has a lot of food outside the city will be the target of public criticism, and will definitely become the target of robbery or even murder by other victims.

So Chen Buer was not short of money or food, but the situation forced him not to give more food.

Of course, it is said that the death contract was signed, and after Chen Buer paid the young men their wages, they could still send the money to their families if they had money in their hands.

The prerequisite is that their family members are still alive.

The disaster victims gathered more and more, looking at the mountain of food piled up in the arbor, everyone was drooling, and many of them were already ready to move.

But the guards of the Chen family had their swords shining brightly, and no one dared to act rashly.

What they didn't know was that these guards had automatic rifles on their backs. If anyone wanted to die, Chen Buer would definitely not be polite. Anyway, the murderous government has ignored them now, and the outside of the city has entered a state of disorder and lawlessness.

There is always the first person to eat the crab.

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man stepping forward, followed by a young man.

The middle-aged man nodded and bowed when he stepped forward:

"Master, this is my third son. Look at him, he is strong and solid, and he is definitely a good hand at work. He also practiced some fists and feet when he was in his hometown, and he can read a little. Look, master..."

Chen Bu'er took another look: "Hey, all-rounder in civil and military affairs, young man, let me ask you, your father is going to sell you, are you willing?"

As long as he said he was unwilling, Chen Buer would never accept him, no matter how good the conditions were, what he wanted was willing loyalty, not someone with resentment.

The young man gritted his teeth, took a step forward and saluted with fists in his hands:

"So that the young master knows that I am willing to sell myself, and I also proposed it on my own initiative. My family has too many people. There are grandfathers and nephews. I am really hungry. If there is no more food, I am afraid I will not be able to survive.

Although the boy is a foreigner, he has always heard of the name of Jingshitang Medical Center, and he has never heard of Jingshitang being harsh on his servants, so the boy is willing to sell himself as a slave and ask the young master to help him. "

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion among the people around, and even Chen Buer was a little surprised:

"You don't talk like an ordinary farmer, and you really want to be a slave? I'm recruiting people who want to practice martial arts, not medicine."

"Young master, my boy lives well in my hometown. I have been educated in a private school and also practiced martial arts at home, but the drought is raging. The food in the family has been robbed, and the house has been banned from burning. In desperation, our family can only flee to the Bianliang."

Chen Bu'er understood that this young man was probably a small landlord in his hometown.

"What's your name?"

"The boy's name is Zhang Xinran, he is 16 years old this year."

Chen Buer was still very satisfied: "My good boy, then you can stand aside first, and you will have to take a physical fitness test later, and you can only be admitted if you pass it, but don't worry, you will not be treated badly if you are admitted."

The young man and his father nodded and bowed again, and stood aside.

If there is the first one, there will be the second one. Two stones of food is too tempting. There are dozens of disaster victims outside the city. Young men say tens of thousands, but Chen Buer only needs 200 people. Of course, he can choose the best from the best.

So many people came forward one after another, some were led by their parents, and some were obviously orphans.

Chen Buer whispered a few words in the thin man's ear. His request was first to recruit orphans, not to save food, but to help orphans. If you treat him well, you will receive more loyalty.

Like Zhang Xinran, who has good conditions in all aspects, but already has self-thinking, and can think for himself when encountering problems. Is such a person a talent?
It is definitely a talent, and it may also be a general, a handsome talent.

But Chen Buer didn't want to rebel. People with too many ideas are not suitable. What he wants are brave people. When he hears orders, he will go forward and never shrink back, no matter whether there is an abyss or a minefield in front of him.

Exceeding Chen Buer's expectations, more than 2000 teenagers signed up in less than half a day, and this was only a preliminary pass.

As for those who are skinny, those whose height does not match, those who are yellow and hungry, and those with sick faces, they can only be eliminated.

What Chen Buer wanted was a "crash course". He had no choice but to choose the right person.

The assessment is also different from others, the first is the visual inspection.

You are going to fight and fight, if you have myopia and astigmatism, you must be unqualified, so Chen Buer learned from later generations and made an eye chart and tested it on the spot.

The second is physical strength. This test is very simple, that is, running.

Run a one-kilometer switchback first.

Originally, Chen Buer wanted to go five kilometers, but was stopped by the thin man. These young men couldn't get enough to eat, so how could they have the strength to run long distances.

So in the end, it was changed to a two-kilometer run. Just this distance is also a huge test for those hungry teenagers.

But just like this, the one who can persist in the end is either a boy with first-class physical fitness or first-class perseverance. This is the person Chen Buer wants.

As for the popular archery, carbine, weight-bearing, wrestling, etc. that were popular in ancient military camps, there was not much assessment.

Chen Buer prepared hot weapons to attack from a long distance, but because of the small number of people, he had a disadvantage in facing the large army that was surging, that is, he could not be approached.

Once they are approached by the enemy, what are these more than 200 people?The disadvantage of the small number of people is immediately manifested, and there is no doubt that they will die.
