Chapter 27 He also wants to live
Just listen to Luo Zhixue continue: "This time we are waiting for the Baoxiang camp to recruit the children of Huangjiacun to protect the environment and the people."
Hearing this, Huang Lao'er's face turned extremely pale. These thieves are trying to recruit young men to play hostage...
Luo Zhixue also saw Huang Laoer's appearance. In order to prevent him from kneeling down and asking for mercy, Luo Zhixue couldn't help but speak faster: "Anyone who is selected will be given twenty kilograms of Anjia food on the spot."
"Anyone who is selected will have three meals a day!"
"Just like the dozen or so soldiers behind me..."
"Full control!"
What Luo Zhixue said is actually true. Anjia has food and three meals a day.
After all, soldiers' training and combat require high physical fitness, so this basic food still needs to be guaranteed.
But what I eat every day is whole grains, and every meal is not dry rice, but two dry rice and one thin rice.
Moreover, the rationed food will not allow you to eat freely, and it is an empty talk to ensure that you are full.
Not to mention the newly selected soldiers, even the elite cavalry behind him cannot let them eat freely.
Furthermore, another very important point is that even the current food standards are based on the current situation of sufficient food. If you go out to fight in the future and are unlucky enough to have insufficient food, then you will have to go hungry.
My stomach is full.
In the past, when these cavalrymen followed Li Tonglin around, they also had bad luck and had to go hungry due to lack of food.
But there is no need to say these facts out loud, just choose something nice to say.
Have you ever seen that when a start-up company recruits people, they will say that our development prospects are unclear, and there is a high possibility that we will be in arrears with wages or even the company will go bankrupt while we are still working.
Although we have not yet found any business growth points, nor any profits, and are losing money every day, but... our prospects are very good, and we have a group of elite soldiers. We will make profits next month and go public next year. In three years
Domestic Fortune 500, Fortune 500 in five years, everyone will be billionaires by then...
When I hear these words, whether you believe it or not, I don’t believe it anyway...
However, times are different, and people's needs are also different. For poor people these days, their biggest pursuit in life is to have enough to eat.
At the foot of Luoyang City, a group of refugees fought for porridge and water, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries. Even Luo Zhixue's father, Luo Luo, died tragically at the hands of the refugees because he only had half-potted porridge in the reserve area.
So when Mr. Huang heard that Anjia food would be distributed, and he didn't need to bring his own dry food and could still eat enough, his face looked much better than before, and he even looked like he didn't believe it.
In his long life of more than 40 years, he has seen many officials conscripting young men to serve as corvees, officers and soldiers conscripting young men, and bandits conscripting young men and even kidnapping them.
However, he has rarely seen settlement allowances paid.
In fact, most of the time, especially when the government recruits young people, they will ask them to prepare their own food.
Now Luo Zhixue said that Anjia food will be distributed, and there is no need to bring your own dry food. You can eat it when you go there. To be honest, Mr. Huang can't believe it.
At this time, Sun Chengli also saw the suspicion on Huang Lao'er's face, and also saw the same suspicious expression on the face of the young man behind Huang Lao'er.
He was also decisive. He waved his hand and ordered his soldiers: "Bring up the food!"
Soon, Sun Chengli's soldiers brought several generations of grain from the horse at the back and placed it in the front, and even opened the opening.
For several generations, hundreds of kilograms of grain were just left on the ground. Huang Lao'er and the others couldn't help but salivate after seeing it.
In their eyes, these grains are more attractive than any fairies in the sky.
Because food means life!
Only when you have food to eat can you survive.
At this time, a man in his early twenties who was standing behind Huang Laoer finally took a deep breath and stood up slowly after struggling for a while.
With suspicion and a hint of expectation, he said: "If I go with you, will I really have this kind of food for Anjia? Can I still have enough to eat when I go?"
Luo Zhixue glanced at him. He looked like he was in his early twenties. He was dressed in tatters and his hair was messy. He was not bad in height. He was about 1.78 meters tall by visual inspection. Although he didn't look too strong, he still looked good.
Not bad.
After all, poor people these days are generally suffering from malnutrition. They can't even get enough to eat, so don't expect to see a young mountain man with all the muscles.
Luo Zhixue nodded slightly: "Of course I take it seriously. As long as you pass the assessment and are selected, you will be given 20 kilograms of Anjia food immediately. From now on, you will eat a big pot of rice with us all, and you will be satisfied with three meals a day!"
After the man heard Luo Zhixue speak, he glanced at Luo Zhixue and quickly lowered his head.
Luo Zhixue in front of him was dressed in a green robe, a square scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. Even though he had no knowledge, he knew that this was the dress of a scholar. When he was in his hometown, he saw several old scholars in the nearby village doing the same.
They are all dressed like this, and if they meet each other occasionally, they have to step aside and bow to ask questions. As for looking at each other for a long time, they dare not look at each other for a long time, otherwise they will be whipped every minute...
At this time, the man said again: "Master, do you think I can succeed?"
After Luo Zhixue looked at him carefully again, he nodded slightly and said: "It looks quite strong, but you have to pass the assessment to succeed!"
As he spoke, he called An Yongduo over with his hand: "Take him for the assessment!"
Before they came, Luo Zhixue had already finalized the assessment standards with Sun Chengli. In fact, there were no standards. As long as he was healthy and had no hidden diseases and had some strength, he would be deemed to have passed the test. Also, he should not be glib.
After all, what they want are soldiers who are honest and obedient and can train and fight according to orders, not bastards who are disobedient in training and will grease their feet when they see danger.
After hearing Luo Zhixue's order, Anyongduo stepped forward and looked at the man, and even asked him to take off his clothes and check to make sure there was no disease.

Then he was asked to run and jump, and finally he was asked to move a big stone next to him.
Finally, he questioned him in detail, asking him common questions such as how many people there were in his family.
A few minutes later, An Yongduo walked up to Luo Zhixue and Sun Chengli: "According to the assessment standards, you can pass."
Sun Chengli nodded slightly and glanced at Luo Zhixue.
After Luo Zhixue saw Sun Chengli nodding, he said to the panting man: "You passed, this is your Anjia food!"
At this time, Sun Chengli's soldiers immediately took out a small bag of grain from the grain bag.
The man was a little hesitant at first. In fact, even now, he still can't believe that the other party actually took out a bag of grain.
But he only hesitated for a second. The next second he took the food and held it tightly in his arms, for fear that others would snatch it away.
After this scene happened, just a few seconds later, among the group of men standing behind Huang Laoer, several more people stood up: "I'll go too!"
"Choose me, I also have the strength!"
In addition, some people turned around and ran away, and one of them shouted loudly at the same time: "Brother, come here quickly, get the food!"
Looking at this scene, Luo Zhixue and Sun Chengli looked at each other, and both saw expressions of satisfaction in each other's expressions.
This time the recruitment will probably be smoother than they imagined.
In fact, Lin Dongsheng and the others had suggested before that there was no need to distribute Anjia grain. After all, they would recruit more people in the future. If each person was given twenty kilograms of Anjia grain, then if they recruited hundreds of people, they would need tens of thousands of kilograms of grain.
Luo Zhixue suggested that the first batch of people recruited at the beginning should be given food to settle down, so that they could use the money to buy horse bones. As for the second and third batches, naturally there would be no food for settling down.
In today's world, it would be good to recruit people here so that they can have enough to eat.
Therefore, this Anjia food is actually just the beginning, to open up the situation. Once the situation is opened, there will be no Anjia food later. After all, their food is limited, and it is impossible to pay back everyone when they recruit hundreds of people in the future.
All given to Anjia with food.
Sure enough, the role of food is powerful. As soon as they saw Luo Zhixue and the others actually providing Anjia with food, many men came over to apply.
The situation of these people is similar. Basically, they are all the ones who really can't open the pot at home. Otherwise, as long as they can have enough food at home, they will not follow these rebels.
Even if they have never seen much of the world, even if they are ignorant, they still know very well that if they take the food provided by these rebels and eat three meals a day, they will completely sell their lives to these rebels.
However, there are still many people coming to apply.
Some of them are young men who are alone and have nothing to worry about. These people just need to grit their teeth and make up their minds and run to recruit as bandits. After all, if one person has enough to eat, the whole family has enough to eat, so the psychological pressure is not that great.
And some are unmarried second sons from poor families.
Huang Sangou, the first man to stand up and apply, is this kind of person.
Among the three brothers in his family, the eldest died of starvation when he was just ten years old because he fled famine. The second brother married a wife and gave birth to two children a few years after he fled to Huangjia Village. He himself is unmarried.
After they fled famine to Huangjia Village, their life was already extremely difficult. But after their second brother married and gave birth to two nephews, the family had three more mouths, making the family's life even more difficult.
.
In order to save food rations for his family and to survive for himself, Huang Sangou gritted his teeth and signed up to be a bandit soldier.
Anyway, he is single, has no wife and children, and his father also has a second brother who fulfills his filial piety.
He thought that he would be recruited as a bandit soldier. Not only would he be able to provide his family with some food, but he would also be able to save his family's food rations.
Every time he had a meal at home, he was embarrassed and did not dare to take even one more bite of rice!
Because every time he went to eat, his old father, who was emaciated from long-term hunger, stared at him...
He still remembered that last year when he put an extra spoonful of rice into the bowl, his old father sighed and said to him: Leave a bite for your two nephews and a way for them to survive!
But!
He also wants to have a full meal!
He also wants to live!
