Chapter 15 The Nine Iron Laws
Liu Chan sympathized with these people in front of him.

Occupying the land and means of production by themselves, they can extract [-]% or more of their labor income without doing anything.

They were so grateful that they were fooled into working for themselves with only enough food and hope for the future.

What a simple people, there is enough to eat, life is a little hopeful, and life can be sold to you.

My career has just started, and the conditions are limited, so I can only do this.

But it doesn't matter, when the strength grows in the future, the living conditions will get better and better.

If Hu Li and the others knew what Liu Chan was thinking now, their joy would probably be replaced by panic.

My lord, this is seriously ill and needs to be cured.

Feeling a little bit emotional, Liu Chan said in a more stern tone: "Besides, there are nine iron rules, which have been written in the barracks, and you need to read them every day so that you can write them down.

"One, those who deliberately disobey the orders of the above, damage our military aircraft, and disturb our military spirit, beheaded!
"Second, whoever steals the people's property without authorization, or borrows and refuses to return, even a grain of corn, will be beheaded!
"Third, those captured on the battlefield must be handed over, those who hide without authorization, beheaded!
"Fourth, those who rape women forcibly, beheaded!
"..."

Later, Liu Chan also put forward nine iron laws: not to beat and insult the people, not to abuse or abuse surrendered soldiers, not to buy or sell by force, not to damage the crops of the people before they are ordered, and even not to drink alcohol during the march.

Different from the generosity and benevolence just now, some of these nine iron laws are very common and trivial things in the eyes of bandits.

Even the officers and soldiers in many places will do.

After winning the battle, it's normal to go to the village to find a few beautiful women, and let everyone have a good time, isn't it?

If there is not enough food and grass, isn't it normal to "borrow" some food from a fellow villager's house?
When it came to Liu Chan, it was all a big crime of losing his head.

Some bandits don't understand.

But because of the favorable terms offered by Liu Chan, even though they didn't understand, they wouldn't complain.

Only Hu Li was thoughtful at this moment.

He finally understood why this army did not commit any crimes while escorting his bandits.

However, Lao Luo, the captain of Bai Mu's personal guard behind Liu Chan, felt a little upset at this moment.

These people's monthly money and food is not as high as their own these elite soldiers of Baimao, but the difference is not too big, and it is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

And the other treatment is really good...

As far as he knew, most of the other soldiers would have their food and pay deducted more or less.

There are very few who can achieve full payment, which is almost an unwritten rule in this era.

But the young master paid out in full every month.

Why do they take so much money from the young master?
As far as these people are concerned, if there are more than a dozen of them attacking at the same time, it is easy to kill them.

Why do they receive such generous treatment, and even join the regular army and still call themselves brothers and sisters with the young master?

Lao Luo has no objection to the young master, on the contrary, he admires this young man very much.

How did Liu Chan accumulate his fame from nothing to his current net worth? He can see everything in his eyes.

As a result, the young master didn't enjoy it himself, but spent it on these people.

He didn't understand why the young master spent energy and money training these people, some of them were not worth it for the young master.

……

After the gossip was over, the selection officially started.

After a few times of practice, the current selection process is much simpler than what Liu Chan did the first time.

Many ideas that he takes for granted but are not suitable for the current era have been eliminated by practice.

"Li Er, let's start."

"Yes, come here!"

The first step is...the physical examination.

When the bandits saw the healers sitting in the field, they were dumbfounded again.

Liu Chan attaches great importance to the health of the soldiers. He couldn't help it at the beginning, but now that he has the conditions, he naturally needs to have a physical examination.

Although it is not as strict as the physical examination for military conscription in later generations, some people with congenital deficiencies still have to pass through.

You can't train a few people to death before the battle is fought...then your own pension benefits will be a blood loss.

More than [-] people with various problems such as physical weakness, hidden diseases, eye diseases, etc. did not even pass the physical examination and were eliminated.

They all begged Liu Chan to give him a second chance, and they didn't even want a pension if they couldn't bear the training and died. Unfortunately, they were dragged out by the reserve team...

Seeing more than [-] brothers being dragged away with their noses and tears in misery, the rest of them cheered up.

After that, the selection included bowing, archery, riding with a lance, and running in armor.

This is the first part, after a short break there are two more parts of the test.

"Exercise, didn't you eat?!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The soldiers selected to take charge of the assessment are training these bandits in various venues.

The suffering they had suffered back then was finally imposed on the recruit Danzi, and they were all very excited.

It didn't take long before there were screams, howls, and roars on the school grounds.

In fact, the selection has been improved many times, and the standard set is not high.

Those who can open a 2-stone power bow ten times are qualified.

Use 4 fighting bows, [-] steps away, and those who hit more than [-] out of [-] shots are qualified.

(Because a catty in the Han Dynasty was lighter than the later dynasties, so a stone and a bucket were lighter than those in the later dynasties such as the Tang and Song Dynasties)
Riding a horse with a lance of Zhangbama. After riding for 1 mile, the person who does not fall off the lance is qualified.

Put on 30-jin armor and run for two miles with the leading soldiers. Those who are not left behind are qualified.

The thieves think that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as they pass the selection, they will be fine later.

Encouraging each other, we tried our best to breastfeed.

The reserve team members of the "invigilator" had a sneer on their faces.

Hehe, is everything difficult at the beginning?After you have passed the first step at the beginning, you will realize that every subsequent step is more difficult than this.

……

After the bandits took turns to accept a round of assessment, it was almost noon.

In this assessment, more than [-] people were eliminated.

Those who have been hungry and full for a long time, although these people's physical fitness is much better than the first group of refugees, but there are still many people who cannot meet Liu Chan's standard.

Almost one-fifth of the players were eliminated, and Liu Chan didn't even blink his eyes. Rather than lacking in excess is always his principle in raising this team.

When refugees were first recruited, thousands of people participated in the selection process, and only a few dozen people were selected, which is nothing.

The more than 170 people who finally passed were secretly glad and excited.

However, there was one person who was somewhat unexpected to Liu Chan, and that person was Hu Li.

He expected that this person's grades would be better. After all, he was the leader of the bandits, and limited food must take precedence over him.

At the beginning, Hu Li had also learned some ring-shou sword techniques with his father, and it was no problem to use a lance on horseback.

Even when he rode the horse to run, he intentionally falsely stabbed it a few times, which seemed to have enough strength.

But what surprised Liu Chan the most was his accuracy and arm strength.

Archery hits ten out of ten shots, and if you retreat to 50 steps, you still get seven out of ten shots.

A hundred steps, four out of ten shots.

Unexpectedly, this kid is quite talented in archery.

Fortunately, when he attacked the village suddenly, he didn't even have time to guard the gate, otherwise there might be some casualties.

Then try your strength again.

This guy was able to use 2 stone bows ten times with ease, Liu Chan changed him to 3 stone bows out of curiosity, and it was still no problem.

Finally stopped at 3 and a half stones.

This hasn't been trained yet, and his arm strength is no less than that of a qualified archer.

He is worthy of being a person who can increase his physique.

Supplementing nutrition and training, maybe you can make a name for yourself in the future.

But when I was fighting with myself, I didn't feel how strong he was.

Could it be that his strength has increased again?

Liu Chan rolled up his sleeves and picked up the three and a half stone power bow.

It's been a long time since I tested my strength, so I might as well try it here. Back then, I could drive a 3.5 stone bow at most.

With the bow in hand, Liu Chan fired ten times without blushing.

"Okay!" The onlookers couldn't help shouting.

Hu Li was even more convinced. He was not wronged when he was restrained by the lord's move.

Feeling that he still had enough strength, Liu Chan said again: "Change to 4 stone bows."

Now the faces of the people around are a little strange.

Especially newcomers.

How old is the protagonist?A boy of fifteen or sixteen at most.

Want to open 4 crossbows?

They didn't know that Liu Chan was only thirteen...

Liu Chan, who had taken 4 stone bows, tried it.

Well, it's a little hard to drive this one.

"Hey!"

Exhale and open the voice, stretching the chest and arms, Liu Chan opened ten times.

Louder exclamations and praises erupted.

The cottage was destroyed and Hu Li was restrained happened too fast, many bandits didn't see Liu Chan make a move.

Only now do I know that my lord is not only good at commanding others to fight...

With this strength, a big mouth came over, and his teeth were blown away?
A sense of awe arises spontaneously.

Liu Chan looked around and said with a smile, "What are you all doing in a daze? The martial arts selection is over, and there are two anthologies left. Go!"

"what??"

Wen... anthology?
More than 170 bandits who passed the military selection cannot spell a complete word together.

The thieves really don't know how this strange little lord will choose them.
