Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 143: Learn the mysteries and choose from layer to layer!

When Liu Feiyun was frowning, he heard a voice: "Master! All the people in Fuyouyuan are here, waiting for your orders!" It turned out that Liu Shihu and the other twelve people had arrived. Liu Feiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that help had finally arrived.

He first made a simple division of labor among the twelve people and asked them to prepare separately. Then he ordered the drum to be beaten, signaling everyone to be quiet.

For a moment, there was complete silence below the stage, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Feiyun.

Liu Feiyun said loudly: "All the people of the territory, the people in the Liu Mansion, no matter your status, are the closest to my Liu family, and the foundation of my Liu family's invincibility in Anping County. As the saying goes, brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle! I am short of manpower now, and I want to select some brothers and sisters of my age to share the burden on my shoulders. If you trust me, Liu Feiyun, you can come to help me in person, or send your children to me. I, Liu Feiyun, thank you in advance."

"Your Highness is too modest!" "Young Master, you are too polite!" "I am willing to die for you, Young Master." Many people in the audience responded.

Liu Feiyun waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet again, and continued: "It's just that I'm poor now, and I don't want to use the money at home, so the number of people I can recruit is limited. Not only that, even if you are selected, you will not be given any money or food within a year, and your life will not be much better than that of the refugees outside. The most important thing is that once you are selected, you will become my Liu Feiyun's private slave, and you will not be able to go home within a year. During this period, your life and death will be determined by fate. If someone's child dies, don't blame me, Liu Feiyun, for being cold-blooded. Those who can't stand hardship, can't stand offending, and are afraid of losing their lives, it's better to leave as soon as possible!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the crowd below. Although the people who came had different identities, some were civilians, some were slaves, their status was also different, and their living conditions were naturally different. For example, Liu Shihu's family was the private slaves of the Liu family, and their official identities were all slaves of the Liu family. Even their lives belonged to the Liu family, and the Liu family could deal with their life and death at will. However, not to mention in the Liu family, even in Anping County, even the tall son of County Magistrate Gao had to be polite to Liu Shihu and did not dare to offend him easily.

As for the Tiger Power Iron Guards, they were all private slaves of the Liu family. The Green Willow Guards, the big and small managers in the Liu Mansion, and the big and small leaders in the Green Willow Trading Company were also mostly private slaves of the Liu family. Although they were slaves, their lives were no worse than those of the local rich people in the countryside. Many of the children of some of them were also spoiled and could not bear the hardship. After hearing this, they had already started to back out.

When the commotion slowly subsided, Liu Feiyun announced the official start of the selection. All candidates lined up to register, and the rest were driven out of the square. However, the families of the candidates were unwilling to leave, and stood in the distance, looking at them from afar.

These candidates first registered their names with Jiang Xu, Lu Qun and Zhu Chishan, and then began the first round of tests directly.

The test in this round is very simple. It is to transport bricks of the same weight as oneself to a distance of 100 meters. There is no limit on the time and number of times. The main test is whether one can endure hardships and work.

This round was led by the Tiemu brothers. They kept lifting up boys and girls and reporting: "Over 123 kilograms, this fat boy has to carry 12 pieces!" "52 kilograms, this little girl has to carry 5 pieces!" "90 kilograms, 9 pieces" "81 kilograms, 8 pieces" "67 kilograms, 7 pieces"

Then these young men and women went to the brick pile at the edge of the square to move bricks and stones. These bricks and stones weighed about ten pounds each, which was just right to be used as measuring weights.

The Tiemu brothers' ability to tell weight by weighing something was developed after they had exchanged their hunted animals for rice and flour, and had been cheated many times by unscrupulous merchants who had tampered with the scales.

Although this test was not easy, it was not difficult either. It was nothing more than running two more times. However, this immediately exposed those spoiled children who could not endure hardships, especially those spoiled girls, many of whom chose to drop out midway.

Liu Feiyun stood on the high platform and smiled gently: I have to kick out those of you who can't endure hardship and can't stand being offended first. This place is not a place to raise young masters and young ladies. If you want to enjoy yourself, you'd better go where you want to be!

The second round of tests was also very simple. It was to let ten people form a group and watch a painting for half a quarter of an hour. Then the examiner would ask ten questions, and two correct answers would pass. The answering method was a quick response system, and each person had only three chances to answer. This round of tests not only tested memory, but also tested reaction ability and psychological quality. The elimination rate was half, which was much higher than the first round. This round of three groups were conducted simultaneously, with Chen Shou, Wu Xin, and Si Mingrui each hosting a group.

These two rounds of tests were actually simplified copies of the Miyun Sect’s entrance test. However, these two rounds of tests, which seemed very simple, led to the elimination of the vast majority of the candidates.

Those who pass two rounds of tests can enter the interview.

The first choice was naturally the martial artists, after all, this was a world where martial artists were respected, and anyone who had reached the fifth level of the entry level was directly selected, a total of 173 people. The next was those who were roughly familiar with classics, history, and literature, or were good at mathematics, or had other specialties, a total of more than 200 people were selected.

In the end, Liu Feiyun selected nearly four hundred people, much more than the original plan.

By the time the selection was completed, it was already evening.

Liu Feiyun gave the selected candidates more than an hour to say goodbye to their families and wait for their families to send them the things they wanted to take with them. At 9:00 to 11:00 in the evening, dozens of guards from the Huaming Valley arrived with 30 carriages.

It happened to be a moonless night. Although it was not as dark as ink, it was still difficult to see the scenery in the distance. Liu Feiyun asked the selected candidates to get on the carriage and sealed the windows with black cloth. Then they began to drive towards the Name Calling Valley in the dark night. On the way, they turned left and right, deliberately taking many detours, and finally arrived at the valley at midnight.

At this time, nearly a thousand people had already moved into the valley. The craftsmen who had built the houses and high walls had already prepared everything and settled these children down. From then on, these craftsmen could only stay in the valley to do odd jobs.

It was not until late at night that Liu Feiyun gave orders to Liu Shihu and most of his confidants to return to Minggu to arrange for the selected candidates. He left only the Tiemu brothers, Si Mingrui, and Tuo Dajun to return to Fuyouyuan, and they were going to Anping County with him to meet Gao Jinda tomorrow.
