Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 116 Entering the Factory Guaranteed to Get You Promoted and Make a Fortune

Upon entering the camp, a banquet had already been prepared, with more than forty generals in total.

The military was under different command structures, making it a chaotic mess, and the terminology was also somewhat inconsistent.

The three thousand former followers formed small groups, ranging from a dozen or so people to more than a hundred.

And this is only a small part.

The remaining nearly 10,000 people were basically lured away by the snow.

Xu Tianyi didn't need to say anything to the soldiers. Once the banquet started, he didn't say much and just began to eat.

Yue Pingzhi and the others also ate with gusto.

Once they started eating and drinking, Ji Canghai became quite talkative, toasting everyone and calling them brothers. The soldiers really took his act to heart, especially since he was a peak Grandmaster and the eldest son of the Ji family, so no one dared to underestimate him.

Several times Yue Pingzhi tried to ask questions, but Xu Tianyi told him to eat first and talk later.

They didn't think much of it and continued eating.

Soon, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, displaying their refined manners, leaving trash everywhere and a scene of utter chaos.

Xu Tianyi then spoke: "Everyone, coming to the eleven counties in the Northwest means you have joined my Valley God Sect."

I speak very directly and prefer to be polite first before resorting to force.

You new recruits will be assigned later, each of you will be assigned 200 men. After a month of training, you will be ranked according to your abilities.

The higher the ranking, the more military pay; the first-ranked soldier receives 100 taels of pure silver per month and two days off per month.

The last ten are eliminated.

This is military regulation. You have seven days to adapt to it. It will be officially implemented after seven days.

If you want to get promoted, make a fortune, and become a great general, or learn more advanced military formations and powerful techniques, then it depends on your abilities.

Finally, General Yue Pingzhi, you shall teach them for one hour each day.

The specific camp management is handled by Manager Hu, who is in charge of your military supplies and logistics, as well as all personnel deployment.

The assessment questions were discussed between General Yue Pingzhi and me, and the final evaluation was conducted by me, Manager Hu, and General Yue.

If you don't understand, Manager Hu's management team will explain and correct you.

Once you enter the factory... well, once you enter the military, those who are obedient and capable can get promoted and make money. Those who are disobedient will be punished at best, and at worst expelled from the military. When you lose your job, you can just wait to starve to death.

After I finish speaking, everyone else had better clean up their own mess and leave, or they'll be punished with three sticks.

His words were simple and clear.

But the generals were all somewhat bewildered.

Normally, shouldn't they give us a hard time and then incentivize us with some kind of financial reward?

Nowadays, why does being a soldier feel like being whipped by a landlord?

After listening to their explanation, they learned two things.

First, the unscrupulous manager Hu, who was behind him, became the military supervisor and registrar.

Second, clean up the trash on the table and then leave.

Before Yue Pingzhi could say anything, Xu Tianyi immediately stopped him.

He couldn't be bothered with anything else.

Anyway, none of these were his soldiers.

Seeing that he did not speak, the other generals split into three factions.

One group consisted of twenty-one surrenderers. They simply packed up the trash and left. As soon as they stepped outside, they saw ten supervisors wearing name tags directing them to throw away the trash and wash the dishes. Clearly, these people were either intelligent or lacked initiative and were willing to work hard without complaint.

The second group consists of fence-sitters who sit still and say nothing.

The third faction was the resistance faction, whose leader, a man with a fierce face, surprisingly possessed the cultivation of a Martial Spirit. He voiced his doubts.

“Master Xu, we’re here to help you. This isn’t how you run the army. What’s the difference between what you’re doing and running those factories?”

"That's right, that's right, in my opinion..."

"Shut up!!"

Xu Tianyi was too lazy to listen to these little karami talk, so he interrupted them directly.

"If you don't work for me, then get out of here. Here, if you're obedient and work hard, you get paid. If you do well, you get promoted. If you don't, you get fired!"

If you want to leave, then leave. It's not like I'm begging you. Let me tell you, in this world, money and connections make you the boss. Once you walk out this door, you can fend for yourselves.

Those who want to leave, get out now, or I'll treat you to dinner for free.

Anyone who continues to spew filth and make sarcastic remarks will be cut down immediately.

After saying that, Xu Tianyi asked Manager Hu to light an incense stick.

"This incense burns very quickly. If you don't leave after it's finished, then you'd better clean up the trash and go outside. If you don't want to clean it up, you can get a beating."

The people below immediately fell silent and began to look at each other in bewilderment.

Then, the man of a hundred tried to speak again.

Ji Canghai snorted coldly: "Shut up, hurry up and choose, or I won't be polite..."

His aura surged, and a warm current rushed over him.

Everyone shuddered and began to look at each other and make their choices.

Yue Pingzhi now had some respect for Xu Tianyi. He had seen and approved of this method of selecting soldiers and generals before.

Therefore, he didn't cause any trouble.

He remained silent, and naturally, his ten captains also kept quiet.

Soon, the hundred-man general stood up: "I'll take five blows, then I'll leave!"

As soon as he stood up, the others behind him also stood up.

There are nine people in total.

Xu Tianyi waved his hand, and a late-stage martial arts master stepped forward, holding an ordinary short stick.

The nine people glanced at it and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the tent, the banging sounds quickly subsided.

Although the nine people felt pain, the martial artist's staff could not harm them.

The nine men turned around and went out to try and gather their old subordinates.

When they arrived at their brother's place, they found that many of the brothers who had stayed behind to wait for them were gone.

The centurion, who originally led over 150 men, now only had 43 left waiting for him.

Only after asking did they learn that the remaining people had been tricked away by the men sent by Xu Tianyi.

He wanted to get an explanation, but a martial spirit from the Valley God Sect told him that he had better not ask for trouble, or he would surely die.

He immediately saw that the surrender faction had surrounded him, and he was furious. He could only turn around and leave with his forty-three brothers.

The same was true for the other eight people, with the largest group being no more than fifteen people following them; most of them were tricked away by Xu Tianyi.

The group gathered together and headed back the way they had come.

They originally wanted to go back to Xue Mantian to enjoy life, which is why they left.

Although there are fewer people now, my heart is still burning with anticipation for the happy life after I join Xue Mantian.

But not long after, a team of a hundred men came chasing after them.

With mixed feelings, Yue Pingzhi came to silence him.

The battle ended quickly.

After the body was burned, it was buried in a mound of earth.

Yue Pingzhi returned with more than a hundred left ears to report back.

After giving some instructions to Manager Hu, Xu Tianyi left.

The illegal factory in the military camp has also begun to operate gradually, and Manager Hu is working tirelessly to arrange the troubles to come.

He was a mine owner, and after receiving guidance and instructions from Xu Tianyi, he was confident that he could execute them perfectly, after all, he had managed thousands of miners.

Besides him, there were also minor officials who had managed large numbers of laborers, as well as salt merchants, restaurant owners, shady brokers, gang leaders, county magistrates' advisors, secretaries, and so on...

These are all highly capable individuals who can manage a large number of affairs.

It's no joke that the talent of one county is enough to govern a country.

Although Lao Hu doesn't understand the military, he's a professional in management.
