I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 161 Special Forces Team Selection 1

Qianhu Suo, martial arts training ground.

As soon as Zhang Yuankai came out of the government office, he immediately returned to the garrison and summoned all the soldiers.

"Brother, is there anything to announce?" The soldiers were a little nervous. They were even more nervous when they saw Li Wanhua standing beside them.

The beheading of Sun Shang and others was still fresh in their minds, and they were afraid that they would also be punished. After all, most of them had followed Sun Shang before.

But many of them were forced to rely on their meager salaries to support their families. If they didn't curry favor with Sun Shang to get some money, their families would starve to death. After all, natural disasters affected more than just ordinary people. To put it nicely, they were only a little better than the common people.

"I have something to announce today." Zhang Yuankai couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Everyone fell silent and looked at Zhang Yuankai.

"The new prefect, Master Yue, has reformed our Qianhu Office..."

"Brother, what reforms are you going to make? Are you going to fire us? My family depends on me for survival..." a soldier asked hurriedly, nervously.

"Reform? Every reform is bad! The last time the imperial court carried out a reform, they deducted our monthly salary!"

"That's right! Is it that Master Yue wants to arrange his own people and doesn't want us anymore?"

"What are you arguing about? I haven't finished talking yet!" Zhang Yuankai scolded with a dark face. It seems that they really need to be managed. The guards of Nirvana Village are more like soldiers than them. Zhang Yuankai has already thought about how to train them.

Everyone shut up.

"The reform I want to talk about is not to reduce the monthly salary, but Mr. Yue feels sorry for everyone and decided to increase the monthly salary. From two taels per month to five taels per month."

"What?! The monthly salary has increased!!"

"Five taels!!! It's even higher than before it was changed!! Hahahahahahaha!"

"Mr. Yue is like my second parent!!"

"Don't get excited, there's more!" Zhang Yuankai raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Everyone shut up and looked at Zhang Yuankai expectantly, suppressing their excitement.

"Master Yue also said that a new clinic will be opened after the New Year, and everyone will be able to see the doctor for free! Not only that, our family members will only be charged half of the medicine price when they go to the new clinic for treatment."

The soldiers below looked at each other in disbelief.

"Brother, are you really opening a new clinic? Are our medical treatments really free?"

Zhang Yuankai stared, "Can Master Yue still deceive you? Master Yue said that the tax money would be refunded. Are those counties refunding the money now?"

"Yes, yes, yes! My second aunt's family has already refunded the tax. Not only did they refund the tax, they also distributed food and quilts!"

"I heard that too! It seems to be true!"

"Oh my God! I didn't expect that my whole family would benefit from my military service alone."

Zhang Yuankai continued, "But Master Yue is so kind to us, it's not for nothing. We must protect the safety of the city. We must also abide by the three major precautions and eight rules. Now I will read them to you."

After Zhang Yuankai finished reading, all the soldiers under him shouted loudly that they would definitely follow the rules.

"Old Wei, I saw you touching Widow Liu's big butt before! That's against the rules!"

"Bullshit! It was Widow Liu who rubbed my hand with her butt!"

"Look, look, you've violated the rules again. Didn't you hear me? The rules say that you have to speak politely!"

"Lao...I..." The man called Lao Wei blushed, causing all the soldiers to laugh.

"From today on, everyone must memorize the rules! Remember them in your heart and engrave them in your mind! If someone makes a mistake, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship!"

"Boss! Don't worry! Although I can't curse, I will comply in order to have my monthly salary and medicine costs halved! My mother is old and has many problems. She is still waiting to see a doctor at the new clinic!"

"Yes! I followed Sun Shang because of life's pressure. Who wants to be scolded by the villagers every day?"

"That's right. Five taels of silver a month! If I save up enough, I can even get married!"

"We will never let Master Yue down!"

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Zhang Yuankai began to announce another thing.

"There is one more thing to announce. Let Captain Li tell you about it."

As he said this, he gave up his seat and Li Wanhua, who was standing nearby, went on stage.

"To make a long story short, I want to form a special forces team. Today I am here to select dozens of soldiers from among you."

"What is a special forces team?"

Li Wanhua explained it in detail to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and no one responded.

It sounds very dangerous, and the training is hard, so it's better to just be a soldier. A few people who are interested are also hesitating.

Li Wanhua had expected this.

"If you join my special forces team, you will get ten taels of silver every month!"

These words were like thunder, shocking those who were still hesitating to raise their hands. What a joke, who would have a problem with money?

"All medical expenses for you and your family are free of charge. Captain Zhang forgot to mention it just now. Do you know Doctor Ge? He is in our village now. If you don't believe me, you will see him after the new year when the new clinic opens." Li Wanhua continued.

Now, the people who originally had no idea also began to be interested. Divine Doctor Ge!! Although we don't know whether it is true or not, Divine Doctor Ge's name is well-known.

"Also, your children can go to school for free."

"Not only that, do you know Nirvana Cloth Shop? They are all embroidered and woven by the women in our village. They get two taels of silver a month, and there are various rewards. If you join the special team, then your wife, sister, or mother will have the opportunity to work in the cloth shop!"

These were discussed between her and Yunyue. After all, the training of special forces is the most arduous and intense, and they will also be carrying out the most dangerous missions in the future. Therefore, the welfare and protection of their families must also be the best.

The soldiers went crazy! They all wanted to join. How could this be called joining a special forces team? This was like enjoying the benefits! They couldn't refuse any of the benefits!

"Don't worry. The benefits are so good, so I won't just pick a few people at random. I want to choose the best among you! So there will be a selection here tomorrow. I will only accept those who pass the selection."

"Isn't this too much of a joke? Can a woman lead troops?" A discordant voice sounded from the crowd.

Many people took a breath.

Most of the soldiers inside remembered Li Wanhua, after all, they had witnessed her cruelty that night.

Li Wanhua knew that she would be questioned and some people would be dissatisfied because of her gender.

He was not angry, but just smiled contemptuously with his lips curled: "Then we will see the truth in tomorrow's selection!"
