Chapter 164 Examination

Second, it is easy to operate. Although there are 9,000 people at this time, the selection of double-checking is very fast. Everyone just needs to stand on the wooden board and pass, and then continue to touch the bell lock, otherwise they can go back and rest...

This speed almost allowed these nine thousand people to line up in ten rows through the seesaw and tripod. Whether they could pass the test was clear at a glance. As the judges next to the tripod, they only need to pay attention to whether their heels were off the ground when touching the bell lock.

The 9,000 registered people were eliminated in the first level by 3,000 people. Because they did not meet the weight, they returned to the city directly without continuing the subsequent assessment. And when they passed the tripod and touched the bell lock on the second level, 2,000 people did not meet the standard.

Five thousand people were eliminated in one go, and only nearly four thousand remained in the primary election. The place where the nine thousand people just stood was only four thousand, and now it was much empty outside the city. At this time, it was finally Ma Wanli's turn to start busy. He had to ask someone to register the names of these nearly four thousand people again. This time the registration was more detailed, and family members and family property must be registered.

Because Fu Zhongwei had already planned, although he only hired one thousand people, as long as he could pass the first batch of conscripts in the next conscript system. One assessment was used twice, and the next recruitment would greatly save manpower and material resources. When Ma Wanli learned about Fu Zhongwei's idea, he was impressed by the Marquis' vision. Later, when Wanyan Mon knew about Fu Zhongwei's idea, he cursed in his heart: "The profiteer! Shameless!" But after Wanyan Mon, he used Han Zhongwei's method of assessing new recruits after returning to the Jin Dynasty. When he listened proudly to others' flattery, he did not expect that he was even more shameless.

This time, they were divided into five teams. After the registration was completed, each qualified person would get a bamboo cage, with a set of numbers written in cinnabar. This set of numbers is their number and is also recorded on the record.

"Master Ma, didn't you say that there will be a sumptuous lunch after passing the primary election? Where can we eat later?" Wanyan Xian asked Ma Wanli carelessly after registering. Because of his identity, he could be unscrupulous in front of Ma Wan without worrying about the other party's emotions. Wanyan Xian was eating turtles in front of Han Zhongwei, and even did not receive the respect he deserved, but in front of the officials of Daxia, his vanity was the greatest satisfaction.

"Mr. Wanyan, I just said: Only after one or two passes can you have a sumptuous lunch, but it does not mean that everyone can eat it. Of course, for Lord Wanyan, it was just a slight effort. Ma Wanli stood up and said with a smile.

"Master Ma, don't keep it in the way. Anyway, the assessment of the first and second levels has been completed. Tell me how to assess the next level and what? Wanyan Said urged me that he did not want to have a good meal, but that he knew that he would definitely meet his master Han Zhongwei at lunch. As for passing the assessment, Wanyan Said never doubted it. If he couldn't pass the assessment, then the guards would not recruit soldiers, but would recruit gods.

"After the registration of the Ministry of Finance is completed, you must run to Dake Cement Factory as fast as possible. To prevent cheating, there are guards on the way, and the officers and soldiers of the guards are prompting signs. Run to Dake Cement Factory and hand over the bamboo sticks you have obtained to the guards there to have a sumptuous lunch. Only the first 2,000 people will finally enter the first test. Of course, if you can't persist in reaching the cement factory, you will not be able to get a lunch." Ma Wanli thought for a moment, and the matter will be announced soon. It would be better to sell it to Wanyan for a favor.

"I'm sure these ideas were all from my master! Lord Ma, I don't know if I guessed it right?" Wanyan Xun flashed a little surprised. His master was really doing everything he could. Even having a luncheon could detect these people.

"Master Wanyan Shengming Ma Wanli smiled and said, "It turns out that he also knows some skills in the army. He first judges the talent, then leaps and looks at it. According to the original method, there are 9,000 people who choose at one time, and maybe they can't complete the first test in a month. And under the command of the Marquis, he saw the results in just half a day, which makes people admire him.

"Sir Ma, you said this was a small task for me just now. I would like to ask, how far is the cement factory from here?" Wanyan asked what a shitty task. He was an excellent cavalry but not a good horse. Running was not his strength.

"Ma Wanli replied.

"More than twenty miles?" Wanyan Xun felt a little nervous and his scalp was tingling. Now Fu Zhongwei knew that he had participated in the recruitment of the army. If Xiao Ke was eliminated here, he would definitely be laughed at by him.

"Why should Lord Wanyan be surprised? I heard that the soldiers of the guards run more than 20 miles every day, and they carry dozens of kilograms on their bodies, but you are not heavy, so you will definitely be relieved. Ma Wanli said in confusion. He has never run before, and of course he cannot understand what it means to run more than 20 miles at once.

Wanyan Xun almost fainted on the ground. If there was a BMW under his crotch, it would take more than 20 miles to arrive in a moment. But running with his legs is not something that can be done easily. Fortunately, the top 2,000 people can pass this time, otherwise Wanyan Xun really would not have the confidence to run into a thousand. Since Han Zhongwei only eliminated half of the people, there will definitely be a final assessment, and the 1,000 people who actually entered the guard team will be determined at that time.

After everyone registered, everyone also got a bamboo stick with numbers in their hands. Ma Wanli told them that the bamboo sticks in their hands should not be discarded at all, otherwise they would not be able to enter even if they ran to the cement factory smoothly.

Of course, if you can't go in, you can't have lunch, so you can only run back with an empty stomach.

After everyone knew the precautions, Ma Wanli beat the big gong hard himself, which was called a clamor. In an instant, a team of 4,000 people turned into a stream of people and ran towards the cement factory.

It is more than 20 miles from Heicheng to Dake Cement Factory, which is definitely a huge test for those who rarely run long distances. Long-distance running requires not only enough physical strength, but also skill. Otherwise, even if the person with good physical strength is difficult to persevere until the end.

But this time Han Zhongwei obviously wanted to choose those lucky ones who have good physical strength, strong endurance, and can persist in the cement factory. Such a long distance can completely test their physical fitness, and it is also competitive. Being able to run to the cement factory can only ensure that there is a meal. Only by running into the top 2,000 can you pass the test smoothly. It is precisely this idea that everyone runs with all their might from the beginning, just wanting to run to the front quickly. I didn’t expect that what is the concept of twenty miles, and currently running at the front does not mean that they can also be in front when they finally arrive at the cement factory.

There is no correct way to adjust the breathing, and it is all about running with brute force. Many people can't hold on when they run to five or six miles. Especially those who run to the front at the beginning, they just run to the cement factory with a momentum. But who knew that before halfway through the distance, they felt that it was difficult for them to breathe, and their whole chests seemed to explode. Some people even gave up, sat on the side of the road, gasping for breath. As Ma Wanli said, not everyone could have the sumptuous lunch.

Wanyan Xun was also very uncomfortable at this moment. At first, he also ran into the No. 1 Group, but slowly realized that if he had maintained this speed, he would not have been able to run to the cement factory, let alone meet Han Zhongwei. So he slowly adjusted his breathing and reduced his running speed. He even stopped completely at the most uncomfortable time and let himself take a breath. Anyway, the rules of the assessment did not say that he could not rest in the middle. As long as he could run into two thousand, no one could say.

Many people have the same ideas as Wanyan Xun, but long-distance running is like sailing against the current. Once you stop and want to run forward, it is not so easy to do without a strong will. But if you really have a strong will, will you still stop and rest? Therefore, there are more people who are resting, and fewer may continue to persist, and even fewer can persist to the end, and there is no need to say that you can run into the top 2,000.

Seeing that there were people resting all the way, and there were a lot of people who simply turned around and walked towards Heicheng. Wanyan Xun was very worried that there would be 2,000 people who could persevere until the end. Perhaps as long as they could persevere to the Dake Cement Factory, they would automatically enter the top 2,000.

Although Wanyan Xun had such an idea, he did not dare to really relax himself. His rest time was strictly controlled within a cup of tea. As soon as the time came, no matter how tired or heavy his feet were, he would grit his teeth and run towards the cement factory.

From a distance, I saw a large workshop, and the towering smoke was covered with thick black smoke. Finally arrived! Wanyan Xun knew that this should be the Dake Cement Factory. Unexpectedly, it was so large, with large buildings and neat houses, like a small market town. Wanyan Xun climbed to a small mound of soil on the side of the road and looked into the cement factory. "Friends, you're almost here, why did you stop to rest?

As soon as Wanyan Xun stood on the mound, he heard someone talking to him. Two people ran over from behind, and the one who was talking was the thin one.

"This cement factory is really magnificent, I can't help it, I can't help it." Wanyan Xian smiled and said, "When you see victory in sight, you two should not lose all your efforts.

"Then let's go together. If the bamboo stick is not handed over for a while, it will not be considered the final victory." The thin man said with a smile.

"Ouch!" Wanyan Xun jumped off the small pile of soil on a whim. Unexpectedly, he stepped on a stone and stood unsteadily, so he actually gave Wei his foot. If it weren't for a long-distance run, Wanyan Xun wouldn't have been injured no matter what, but he was exhausted and his body's reaction speed was greatly reduced. After stepping on the stone, he involuntarily went to the side.

"Brother, is it okay?" The two of them quickly reached out to support Wanyan Xun.

"It seems that I have no hope. You can leave first, don't worry about me." Wanyan Xian said depressedly. He didn't expect that he would be so proud that he would be injured at the last moment.

"How can this work? You can see the cement factory. When we helped you over, we looked at the two of you and said in unison.

"I can't drag you down, so let me go. Wanyan Xun said gratefully. Almost all the middle-aged men in the city came to participate in the selection. It can be imagined how tempting it would be for them to be a member of the guard team. If this really affects the final results because of myself, even if I have a master-apprentice relationship with Han Zhongwei, I am afraid I can't plead for them.

"We cannot ignore this when encountering such a thing. At worst, the two of them will set up Wanyan Xun and leave without considering whether they will rank behind 2,000.

"Thank you two, I don't know if you are the second person in Yun's surname... Zong Yanzhen didn't expect that he could encounter such an alternative in the sample study place. Ding Liu

"My name is Wang Jing, his name is He Liqi." Wang Jing was the original clerk of Fulai Restaurant.

"Brother Wang Jing, Brother He Liqi, I will recognize you two friends in the future." Wanyan Xun laughed. Not everyone helps others in this situation, let alone when victory is in sight, and their physical strength does not look very good.

"Brother Wanyan, go quickly, otherwise you will really fall behind 2,000." Wang Jing walked faster and faster, and the two of them took turns carrying Wanyan Xun on their backs, but the speed was not slower than Wanyan Xun's original speed. I really don't know why they ran behind Wanyan Xuan?

The four thousand army set out from the east gate of Heicheng and finally arrived at Dake Cement Factory successfully. Nearly 1,800 people failed to run the entire journey. Bi Zaizhi waited for nearly half an hour at Dake Cement Factory, and when he saw that no one appeared again, he went to report to Han Zhongwei. Han Zhongwei was also surprised when he heard this number. He did not expect that running lightly, and almost unlimited time, there were nearly 1,800 people who did not persist until the end.

Wanyan Xun, Wang Jing, and He Liqi finally ran to the cement factory and didn't care about their rankings. They just lay on the ground like others, and breathed in big mouthfuls of air that they usually thought they were.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

As the sound of eating came, the tempting meat fragrance also floated over, causing the people lying on the ground to get up quickly and walk towards the canteen. Wanyan Xun also found a seat in the canteen with the help of Wang Jing and He Liqi. The canteen of the cement factory is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people eating at the same time.

The luncheon prepared by Han Zhongwei for them was indeed very rich, with unlimited supply of buns, beef, and mutton. There were also vegetarian foods, such as tofu, gluten, milk, etc. Many people in Heicheng believed in Buddhism, and they only vegetarian food. As long as your belly can be filled, you can fill it. There were also ingredients shipped from the Jin Dynasty and even from the Song Dynasty, which made everyone feast.

"Master, I miss you so much, why did you come?" Wanyan Xun was sitting there waiting for Wang Jing and He Liqi to get food for him when he suddenly saw Han Zhongwei walking into the cafeteria accompanied by several subordinates.

Wanyan Xun is now terrible. Because she sweats too much, her face is covered in mud, and her feet are too timid, she can't even stand up. She can only press her hands on the table to support her weight.

Han Zhongwei knew about Wanyan Xian's registration for the escort team as early as the first day of his registration. He told Ma Wanli that since Wanyan Xun was willing to come to the escort team, he would be satisfied with his wish. As long as he passed the assessment, he might not have to join the escort team. Han Zhongwei knew a little about what Wanyan Xian's idea was, and his sharp firearm reputation had already spread throughout Heicheng. I'm afraid he had heard of it even outside Heicheng. As a top-level person in the Jin Kingdom, if Wanyan Xian was not attracted by this, he would not be a great Jin person.

But Han Zhongwei also had his own plans. As a Jurchen royal family, Wanyan Xuan grew up on horseback since she was a child. She must have unique features in practicing cavalry and commanding cavalry operations. Since Han Zhongwei asked him to come, he was already targeting him. If he didn't take out more goods in his stomach, it wouldn't be Han Zhongwei.

"It would be difficult for you to join the guards to see me." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.

"It's like not seeing you for a day is like three autumns. I haven't seen you for several days. Wouldn't it be better to not listen to your master's teachings for decades? Besides, if you have something to do with your master, I will obey you, and I have to come." Wanyan said with a smile on his face, but his hands didn't pay attention, and the center of gravity of his body moved to his feet, causing him to feel so painful that he grinned his teeth.

"Stop being slick, what's going on? Are you injured somewhere? There will be an assessment in the afternoon. If you can't pass, even if you are my apprentice, you will have to go back to Heicheng." Fu Zhongwei glanced at him, and there was no obvious external injury. Look at how he stood or had his feet injured.

"There is still an assessment in the afternoon? Master, you are too miserable, right? How could you be so troubled!" Wanyan Xun still feels scared when he mentioned the long-distance running in the morning. He has been riding a horse since he was a child and has less time to walk, let alone long-distance running. If he hadn't met Wang Jing and He Liqi, he would have to jump with one foot or climb to the cement factory.

"The army is a mess. If you don't want to participate, you can give up. No one will blame you." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.

"How could I give up when I've reached this point? But can Master reveal some news and make me mentally prepare for this injury in advance?" Wanyan Xuan said gritting her teeth.

"The afternoon should be your strength. If you can't even pass, unless my guards don't need cavalry." Han Zhongwei smiled, but he did not ask for information in advance like Ma Wanli, and treated Wanyan Heon equally.
