Chapter 289: Good deeds bring treasures; recruiting famous people and strategists
As the group of fortune tellers were deciding in this small building, they decided to wait for the decision of the Taoist Master Le Sui who was holding the position above them.

Based on the little information he secretly peeked into, Master Longze decided not to close the net for the time being.

He wanted to see what the specific situation of the so-called Le Sui Zhenren behind these fortune tellers was like.

And since he has the name of ‘Le Sui Zhenren’, there is a way to find out his specific cultivation methods, weaknesses, etc…

And at this moment,
Zhao Yun, on his side, could only sense that the behaviors of the few Xiang family monks who came to the farm gate where he was recruiting talents were indeed rather strange, but he did not feel anything else.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun also received registrations from people who came one after another.

Of course, these monks register and compete, but there will also need to be arrangements for background checks, luck audits, and so on.

It is impossible for Zhao Yun to not conduct any review and just let the warriors serve as his private soldiers.

If you mess around like that, you’d be irresponsible for your own life.

In addition, Zhao Yun cannot afford to recruit those who have a particularly high level of cultivation.

And Sequence 7 is the limit. If you want to go higher to Sequence 6, I’m sorry, it’s not possible.

Although the double salary that Zhao Yun had saved up after a month of hard work was enough to pay the corresponding salary, what would Zhao Yun use to practice after paying it?

Therefore, the cultivation level of these cultivators was also blocked by Zhao Yun.

As for the initial Sequence 90 cultivators, although they are useful, Zhao Yun only has places, so Sequence cultivators should not be used for the time being…

Therefore, the cultivation realm of most of these 90 private soldiers is stuck at Sequence Eight or even Sequence Seven.

Any lower, and the fighting strength is insufficient;

No matter how high it is, I’m sorry, I can’t afford to pay the wages, and it’s also difficult to control!
As well as those who have reached a high-sequence cultivation realm, they will join Zhao Yun’s private army and train with everyone else. It is still unknown who will be the great king and who will be the lesser king…

Therefore, if you don’t want to cause yourself the trouble of seizing power, you need to avoid such a situation from the root.

Besides, there are still quite a few people who meet the requirements of private soldiers…

That would require more detailed competition.

In addition, the two guys from the Sinong Supervisor who Zhao Yun had taken a fancy to before and who had posted a message: Leng Zhi and Bao Qiwen, also came.

At the same time, Zhao Yun also recruited several Si Nong Supervisors from the prefectures, counties, and garrisons, who were indeed talented and wanted to advance.

However, these Si Nong will be arranged into the Si Nong Supervisory Office, and will not take up the 90 private soldier quotas.

As for people like retainers and counselors?

Zhao Yun did have a great reputation in this northern border island, but his low level of cultivation was a fatal flaw.

And the sixth-rank General Po Lu is indeed a good identity, but a good identity is a good identity, and there is no specific position.

Zhao Yun only had a nominal military officer status.

Therefore, he does not need so many retainers and advisers for the time being.

Therefore, in the end, after a lot of selection, seven people were selected to become the Sinong Supervisor.

Then the retainers, or more accurately, the advisers, recruited a famous scholar and a strategist.

But since they are both at the level of Sequence Nine, it is not certain who will help whom…

In addition, there are two Confucian pens who assist in managing logistics and record the school examinations.

Of the remaining 90 recruits, one third were military strategists and two thirds were warriors, and all of them served as private soldiers.

However, the people Zhao Yun recruited after the on-site screening still need to go through a background check and a fortune check by the Imperial Observatory.

Of course, the recruitment of these private soldiers did not originally require these reviews, and Zhao Yun could directly draw up the plan on his own and then submit the quota to the corresponding government departments for filing.

But for safety reasons and the fact that there was no corresponding review department on Zhao Yun’s side, he could only report the quota and let the Ministry of War, the provincial government, the Ministry of Agriculture, etc., which were all busy and the corresponding review departments for private soldiers, advisers, historians, and the Ministry of Agriculture, help re-examine the background and fortune of these people.

Besides, if these people have some minor flaws in their backgrounds, then that’s not a big deal.

But if you really encounter a bad luck god, then you should stay away from him a little bit…

After all, no matter how strong your luck is, it can’t beat having an unlucky god around you, affecting you all the time!

Afterwards, if one’s luck is good and one passes the background check, one can naturally become one of Zhao Yun’s private soldiers and be blessed by the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But if there are any problems found during the review process, then bye bye…

After all, the ninety private soldiers that Zhao Yun recruited this time, including the four counselors and clerks, as well as the seven Si Nong in the Si Nong Jian system, were all for the purpose of training his own team.

Why keep those people with bad character?

And in the future, when the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty and the Canglan Grassland Barbarian Alliance are in a temporary peaceful state after the mediation of King You, it will be time for everyone to enter this small world together.

Therefore, the main purpose of these private soldiers at that time was to protect Zhao Yun when he entered the small world!
And can use this to carry out some coordination work…

In addition, Zhao Yun also planned to let these 90 private soldiers be taken out for some training and experience by the 800 private soldiers from the seven surnames and ten royal and military families.

Then, when these 800 private soldiers from the seven surnames and ten royal and military families are over and retreat on this continent, Zhao Yun can use these 90 private soldiers as a foundation, recruit more people to expand, and then quickly replenish his full complement of 1000 private soldiers!

Secondly, because of the orthodox training of the 800 private soldiers from orthodox military families, when the time comes to expand his private army again, the excellent quality of these 90 private soldiers will be the guarantee for the quality of the subsequent expansion of private soldiers.

Therefore, the recruitment process of these private soldiers this time was also full of Zhao Yun’s careful considerations. In addition, during this recruitment, Zhao Yun became more familiar with the group of people he met in Yan Gui Lingshan.

After all, there is a Forget Worry Formation when entering and leaving the Yan Gui Ling Mountain.

Zhao Yun, with the help of the God Lin Shan, was spared the memory cleansing effect of the Forget Worry Formation and was able to keep his memories clear.

As for the others, they cannot escape this memory cleansing process.

But the good thing is that although the Forget Worry Formation was established at the national level and no one can violate it, some methods of cracking it are also public.

It means recording what you experience every day in a daily diary using special codes and marks that you set up in advance, and then writing according to your personal preferences.

After leaving Yangui Lingshan, I will go home and take out the special diaries that recorded my daily life in Lingshan, decipher and review them, and I will be able to understand clearly what I experienced in Yangui Lingshan.

Therefore, these friends who had interacted with each other during the month in Yangui Lingshan, although their corresponding memories were wiped clean by the Forget-Sorrow Formation after leaving Yangui Lingshan, everyone was still able to examine some of the relationships between them through the diaries they wrote.

This time, taking advantage of Zhao Yun’s opportunity to recruit talents, everyone gathered together, got to know each other again, and enhanced their memories and friendships.

Also, after this review, Zhao Yun suddenly discovered that through this group of people, he had some acquaintances among the various departments in Guihongzhou City!
The simplest thing is that when Zhao Yun discovered that the purple gourd combined with the yellow cloth could reap the luck bestowed by the Divine Dynasty on officials, he rescued three brothers: Wang Qin, Wang Han, and Wang Tang. Their father was also the general guarding the east gate of Guihongzhou City!

If there is a city gate in the future, etc., wouldn’t there be fewer possible difficulties… Or, in other words, Zhao Yun also has a special relationship with the system of guarding the city gate!

If there is something that needs to be done secretly, then this relationship can be used to the best effect!
In addition, many friends were arranged by their parents to work in various departments of the state government and the city, as well as in barracks, hospitals, and so on…

These will be the connections that you can use and contact more often in the future!
In short, when Zhao Yun sorted out the relationships among this group of people, he found that they were complicated and intertwined, yet spread throughout the entire Guihongzhou City.

And if Zhao Yun can straighten out these relationships and use them well, it will be a new boost…

Of course, if Zhao Yun does not commit any crime, this kind of help may even bring about some alternative interests.

And if there is something special, if these relationships can be used, it can save lives…

Therefore, when Zhao Yun recruited his private soldiers, counselors, historians, and ministers of agriculture, and handed them over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Agriculture for review,
Zhao Yun brought this group of special friends into the Sinongjian and set up a large living room for them to eat, drink and have fun together and spend a wonderful time!

Apart from that, the Confucianist Ma Wenchao was also following the crowd.

Even after the banquet was over, Ma Wenchao did not leave with the others. Instead, he asked to see Zhao Yun and said that he came to repay the good deeds he had done.

This made Zhao Yun’s heart move.

The good results that I have been waiting for for a long time have finally come!

Back when he was in the Yan Gui Ling Mountain, Ma Wenchao was bullied by his so-called classmate Liang Wencai, and ended up with a miserable end.

If it weren’t for the people in the family behind Ma Wenchao, I don’t know how they found out about Ma Wenchao’s situation at that time, and then found out about the relationship with Lin Shanshen through the relationship with Jing Dasinong,

Finally, the God Lin Shan delegated this human relationship to Zhao Yun and asked Zhao Yun to take care of Ma Wenchao.

So Zhao Yun had been waiting for a long time for this good result bestowed by the God Lin Shan!
Now, the wait has finally come!

“Brother Zhao, thank you for taking care of me that day in the Wild Goose Return Spiritual Mountain.”

“If not for this, I would have starved to death in the mountains, or I would have been framed and killed by my classmate.”

“Now, I have also informed the headmaster of the Shanlu Academy of the various events that happened in the Yanguiling Mountain. Liang Wencai was also expelled from the academy by the headmaster for disregarding the friendship between classmates, and was deprived of his name on the list… Now his reputation is notorious among Confucian scholars like me.”

“In addition, there is a gift from my family. I specially sent it to thank you, Brother Zhao, for saving my life!”

Ma Wenchao took out a wooden box that was even larger than a small bag from his waist.

Obviously, this small bag is a space treasure that can be used for storage.

Then, Zhao Yun took the wooden box, looked at Ma Wenchao’s clothes and the valuable space storage treasure on his waist, and said:
“It seems that Brother Ma knows the specific status of his family.”

“Hey, my family let me go free when I was little. Now that I have encountered this crisis, I have slowly figured out the details of the family affairs. After thinking about it for a while, I burst into tears.”

“But these experiences are of some benefit to me after all. Knowing the hardships of people’s lives, I was able to establish the holy heart to help the people.”

“This is in line with the ideas I have learned from entering Taoism, such as self-cultivation, governing the country, and pacifying the world. It will be of great help to my future state of mind in spiritual practice…”

Then, Zhao Yun opened the wooden box that Ma Wenchao had just handed over to him.

Afterwards, he saw three things in the box.

The first one is a top-grade spirit stone with earth attribute.

Zhao Yun had sensed the corresponding spiritual energy and Dao rhyme fluctuations in the body of the fifth-level giant dragon warrior, so he recognized it at a glance.

The second item is a top-grade spirit stone with fire attribute.

The reason why this thing can be recognized is that its aura is extremely similar to that of the top-grade earth-attributed spirit stone next to it, and it also has extremely rich spiritual energy that is constantly bursting out from the spirit stone.

Therefore, this first earth-attributed top-grade spirit stone actually gave Zhao Yun a great guarantee. It could push the power of this fifth-order Tyrannical Dragon Terracotta Warrior to the extreme, which could be regarded as an extreme means of saving his life.

In addition, the top-grade spirit stone with fire attribute reminded Zhao Yun of the situation when he went to the Tiangong Department of the Beida City Barracks to ask the Gongshu family to forge a fifth-order war puppet.

The fifth-level dragon corpse has a fire attribute.

It can only be said that these two top-grade spirit stones were given to Zhao Yun in a way that truly suited his wishes.
