My god, run!!!

"Brothers, we are only recruiting 5000 people this time. There are many villages within 50 kilometers of Shuang'er Mountain, so it is relatively easy to recruit all of them. You are all locals, and I believe you have the ability to complete this glorious and arduous task."

"To boost everyone's enthusiasm for returning home to recruit soldiers, I hereby announce that if anyone recruits more than 100 men, I will reward him with a roasted whole lamb."

"Wow..." everyone exclaimed instantly.

"I'm saying that if one person recruits more than 100 people, I'll reward him with a whole roasted lamb for each person. Remember, it's one roasted lamb for each person."

After hearing what the team leader Zhou Zheng said, some people's eyes were full of confidence, some people's eyes were full of determination, and some people frowned.

"If someone brings in more than 50 but less than 100 people, I'll reward them with a roast suckling pig. One roast suckling pig per person."

"Oh..." Everyone cheered again.

"If someone brings in more than 10 but less than 50 people, I'll reward them with a braised goose. Each person can eat one braised goose."

"Ah..." The big guy swallowed his saliva again.

The first reward is a roasted whole lamb, the second reward is a roasted suckling pig, and the third reward is a braised goose.

When the more than 100 people heard this, their mouths were watering. This reward was for one person to eat.

Zhou Zheng looked at their expressions and nodded with satisfaction. He decided to add fuel to the fire.

"There are rewards and there are punishments. If you recruit fewer than 10 people, you will be punished by having to stand and watch the brothers who received the rewards eat roasted whole lamb, roasted suckling pig, and braised goose."

After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, hahaha... everyone burst into laughter instantly.

We sit together and eat, and someone stands next to us and watches us eat. Imagining this scene makes me feel comfortable.

As a result, everyone became more determined to complete this glorious mission.

I have to sit down and eat, instead of standing up and watching others eat. Otherwise, I will lose face when I get home, and my brothers will laugh at me for a long time.

Suddenly someone said, "Captain, what if someone fails to recruit anyone?"

Zhou Zheng was stunned. What if no one was recruited? I really hadn't thought about this question. It's better to be safe than sorry!

Zhou Zheng instantly came to his senses and replied with a smile: "Then reward him by eating white flour buns for a week. If he wants to eat meat, he can just watch his brothers eat it every time."

As soon as Zhou Zheng finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter... Some laughed so hard that their stomachs couldn't even straighten up.

Zhou Zheng also smiled. How could this be possible? How could someone not be able to recruit anyone? Anyway, Zhou Zheng didn't believe it. Zhou Zheng smiled and shook his head.

And it just so happened that one person returned home and really didn't recruit anyone, but that's a story for later.

"Also, when you return home, look around for masons, carpenters, and other people who can do manual labor and build houses. Recruit them all. We're going to build a lot of houses and roads in Shuang'er Mountain, and we need these skilled craftsmen."

"Tell them that the masons and carpenters get paid three yuan a month. The manual laborers get paid one yuan a month. I also provide food and accommodation, and they have white flour buns for every meal, and some meat with their meals."

"The more people we have, the better. I'm going to improve the infrastructure of Shuang'er Mountain and try to provide each of you brothers with a house of your own. That way, you can bring your parents here to live. Then, when you get married and have children, you won't have to worry about having no place to live."

Hearing Captain Zhou Zheng say this, all for their better future lives, they were moved to tears and shouted to Zhou Zheng: "Captain, we will ensure that we complete the mission."

Then there was the joyful "Long live the captain... Long live the captain..."

Zhou Zheng gave them a month to return regardless of whether they had completed their mission or not. Then, Zhou Zheng prepared 100 yuan for each of them as travel expenses.

Each of them prepared a horse for transportation, and after riding on the horse, they each rushed towards their own home, all returning with the determination to complete the task.

The remaining brothers also expressed their desire to recruit soldiers and asked the regiment commander Zhou Zheng to give them a chance. Zhou Zheng said that he would definitely send them back to recruit soldiers next time, and they didn't say anything.
