  You can quickly enter this station and provide free downloads of fine products and txt formats! Around noon, the school official finally brought back a dozen or so people to the school grounds.

  These people were hired to come, they are literate, can write, and for recruitment purposes, this is enough. Zhou Huchen only needs them to recognize the household registration stickers and do a good job of registration work. As for their background and cultural level, it has nothing to do with Zhou Huchen.

  Efficiency has finally improved, the requirements for infantry are simple, as long as you're of suitable age, prove you're not a vagrant, and are physically healthy. Of course, being robust is best, but even if you're slightly frail, Young Master Zhou will have a way to deal with it - just follow him back and he'll make sure you're full of vitality (those capital camp soldiers know this all too well).

  Almost all of them are honest and down-to-earth children of farming families, with a secure life, no one would let their own children become soldiers, this is a kind of helplessness! Deeply helpless about life!

  Everywhere are people in tattered clothes, who can't be said to be thin as a rake, but that complexion, those eyes devoid of vitality, clearly show that these people are suffering from hunger, obviously lacking nutrition. This is the true folk hardship of this era, what Zhou Huchen sees, is the difficulty of every step for the common people!

  Zhou Huchen no longer ignored him, and once again called out to that little official.

  At the same time that the little official returned, the treatment of the recruitment work was changed. Under Zhou Huachen's instructions, anyone who signed up for recruitment, regardless of whether they were recruited or not, could receive several kilograms of coarse grain as soon as they arrived. Although these few kilograms of food couldn't solve any major problems, the people who signed up, including their family members, developed a kind of trust in this recruitment team from the capital, a genuine sense of trust that came from the heart.

  This is a reliable team, those fierce soldiers are full of spirit, riding high-headed horses. Even if they don't wear military uniforms, their clothes are much better than ordinary people's clothes, the treatment says it all. These people are the goal, join them, no need to worry about becoming a useless waste, if you mix well, not only will you have food and clothing without worry, but also may be able to make a name for yourself, and in the future, there will be something to achieve.

  With efficiency as support, Zhou Huchen's absorption capacity was too great. In two days, although people were still rushing to the school field, the field was no longer so crowded. Zhou Huchen's goal was 5,000 people, with a total of 5,000 people, including 1,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantrymen.

  Zhou Huchen didn't mean to buy people's hearts. Now that he has enough silver, he just wants to help these poor people a little, it's that simple.

  These people are too simple-minded, whether they were recruited or not, those who received food would be extremely grateful. They knew that this was the team of Zhou Yuji, deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing garrison. Unconsciously, this is a kind of propaganda. Zhou Yuji can be trusted, his army can be fully trusted, this is the ordinary people's cognition.

  Seven or eight days passed quickly, and as the number of people in the school grounds decreased, Zhou Huchen's recruitment was about to come to an end.

  This time's recruitment made Zhou Huchen very satisfied, the only thing that made him regret was that the recruitment of cavalry did not go smoothly, and only more than 300 people were recruited, which was far from Zhou Huchen's goal.

  Think about it, it's normal now that it's an era of transportation relying on horses and livestock. Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to ride a horse. Very few people will own a horse, as ordinary people, raising a horse is too luxurious, even if they have livestock, they are not for riding, but for working in the fields.

  Many people came, but the soldiers recruited were almost the same as Zhou Huchen's expectations. In fact, many of them did not meet the requirements. There were quite a few family members and onlookers, which was the real reason for the crowds.

  The recruitment work is about to end, and according to the scheduled time, Zhou Huchen and others must continue to wait. They have to wait for the recruited soldiers to return home and bid farewell to their families. Moreover, Zhou Huchen will only distribute the settlement silver before departure.

  It's finally quiet now, today is the last day of recruitment, Mo Xiancheng has returned to his hometown to pick up his family.

  The people who came to meet him from the Beijing camp had arrived, and Zhou Huchen relaxed. He was full of expectations for these soldiers, the hope in his heart that would change himself, change the fate of Zhou Yuji and his family.

  "Hey, scholar, come over here!" With nothing better to do, Zhou Huchen was strolling around the school grounds when he spotted a young man in a long gown.

  This man in his thirties was hiding behind a group of people, and when he saw Zhou Huachen, who was wearing brocade clothes, beckoning him over, the scholar bowed to Zhou with an elegant gesture: "Young master, I'm ashamed! I'm not even a licentiate, just a mere student."

  This man with a full beard actually still calls himself "young master", Zhou Huchen had an urge to laugh, but the serious expression on this young actor's face made Zhou Huchen unable to laugh out loud.

  "Excuse me, is the bookworm here to enlist?"

  "I'm not here to join the army... I just wanted to see if I could find some work, we've had a few years of famine recently and it's hard for my family to make ends meet..." The scholar's reserve made this young man somewhat embarrassed, but clearly his family was having a tough time, he spoke hesitantly about his intentions.

  The reader's face was somewhat pale and yellow, while the long shirt, although clean and ironed, had patches on it, and the unhappiness of his life could be clearly seen.

  "It doesn't matter, after all everyone has to make a living, scholars are no exception, this is nothing! Zhou Huchen smiled and indeed it was so, this person's age did not meet the recruitment requirements, probably just looking for something to do, mixing a meal to eat, but also somewhat embarrassed."

  "It's... it is! The year is bad, nobody has a good time!"

  "Can you write and calculate?" Zhou Huchen suddenly remembered that he needed people, especially those who could write and calculate.

  "I can! Of course I can!" The somewhat pale face of the bookworm suddenly lit up with some radiance, his eyes filled with hope:

Looking at the unhappy young man in front of him, he asked: "I am Zhou Huachen, the eldest son of Zhou Zongbing, the deputy general of the Beijing Garrison. If you are willing, you can bring your family with me to Beijing. The warmth and food of the whole family will not be a problem, but... don't think about the imperial examination anymore!"

  This was equivalent to Zhou Huchen recruiting a staff officer. Although it was the staff officer of a military general, which was vastly different from that of a civil official, for a young student with no prospects, this was already a good master. In this year of disaster and chaos, he also had something to rely on.

  After a moment of hesitation, the scholar's face set in determination: "My surname is Chen, my name is Ziyie, my courtesy name is Yansheng, and I am from Qingyuan County. This year I am twenty-nine years old. Rather than lingering at home in a state of neither life nor death, it would be better to follow you to the capital, which would also give me a way to survive! I am willing to follow you to the capital!"

  This is exactly the kind of person Zhou Huchen needs, someone who can help him manage his accounts and serve as a clerk. As for strategic planning, Zhou Huchen doesn't expect much from them. History has already shown that even the most elite individuals of this era are only capable of so much, no one can surpass Zhou Huchen, an all-knowing and all-seeing transmigrator.

  Zhou Huchen needs to rely on himself and the power of his team, he wants to cultivate his own younger brother. As for these Ming Dynasty literati, they can only be a kind of auxiliary force, when that moment arrives, the one who will play an absolute dominant role in this society can only be Zhou Huchen alone. Those literati do not meet Zhou Huchen's requirements, once the opportunity arises, he wants to become the unique and unparalleled Zhou Huchen, a tiger minister like no other in the land of China.
