Chapter 61 Recruiting

Don’t worry about things that you can’t solve today, don’t panic, take a nap.

Because you can’t solve it tomorrow either.

——Taken from the Supreme Saint Demon of Heaven and Earth, Zhang Moshen’s “My Diary” No. 3446

A few days later.

The “aftermath” of the explosion passed quickly, and everything became calm as new governance personnel were sent out from major cities.

With this lesson, Yang Shuo will never trust the original local sages, families, etc. in major cities again. Instead, he took a different approach, learned from the experience of the demon soldiers, spent money to buy people, let them join the Heavenly Demon Sect, and then assign them positions according to their abilities.

At the beginning, he picked people from the demon soldiers, and as long as they were educated and literate, they were all filled into the government office. Anyway, there are not many things now, and what we deal with on weekdays are all trivial matters, so let’s practice first. Those who have reached a higher level will be arranged to go to the countryside to replace the local village elders and establish a new "office hall" for the Tianmo Sect (originally called the animal husbandry hall according to the rules of the demon cultivators. Zhang Mo thought it was not nice, so he changed it to an office hall.)

All the village elders who are disobedient and uncooperative will be killed.

Then, all matters, big or small, will be handled by the office hall first, and then transferred to the government office in the city.

In this way, everything is transparent from top to bottom, and all is under the control of the Tianmo Sect. No need to cooperate with any forces.

But if you do this, there will be not enough demon soldiers immediately. You can only spend more money to buy people. And there are also standards, what price for scholars and what price for officials.

Later, it was found that it was really difficult to recruit enough people in the short term, so Yang Shuo simply ordered the demon soldiers to arrest people.

Some capable scholars did not want to join the Tianmo Sect and wanted to stay at home, and they even compared themselves to Sleeping Dragon.

After being arrested, they will be beaten first, and then given drugs to see if you will come out of the mountain.

Three visits to the thatched cottage? That didn't happen. Three whips, skin torn and flesh torn, still OK.

Some family members were killed badly this time, and they were mortal enemies with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

These people who were temporarily useful were also the same, first beaten and then drugged. When someone came to replace them, they were directly dealt with.

Clean and neat, the demon cultivators did things without too many rules.

After several times, the major cities were stable again. For the people, it was nothing more than that the people in the upper level disappeared. There was suddenly an office in the village, and they could go to the office for big and small matters. The office dared not not deal with it. Once there was something that was not done well, it would be reported to the Heavenly Demon Sect. All these demon soldiers in the office had to die.

The rules of the Demon Sect were very simple, either life or death. There was no law.

Anyway, under the rule of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was still good to die directly. If you really went to jail, that would be a cruel thing.

Everything was temporarily settled, and Yang Shuo didn't know whether this new way of governance would work. Anyway, it didn't matter. If it didn't work, he would change it.

Zhang Mo roughly understood some of it, and always felt that this kind of governance was a bit out of place.

But after sending people to look around, he felt that it seemed that there was no impact on the people. Those who died were all big families, and those damn local celebrities.

Are there any good people among these things? Maybe there are.

But most of them are probably parasites who eat people and get fat. They die, so they die. Who made them offend the Heavenly Demon Sect?

Even he, the sect leader, was almost blown to death. Can he still be good to these guys?

Kill, kill them all. After killing, I will confiscate their homes.

Part of the money was moved to the mountains, and the other part was used to buy people on the spot to fill the magic soldiers.

Xiaosheng County, at the city gate.

Today, the team to collect people is long again.

An old demon cultivator has insufficient cultivation, but he is good at eyes, known as a poisonous eye.

He was placed in this position, just right. The magic soldiers bought from him are now filled in major cities and have become the cornerstone of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Today, the old demon cultivator set up the table, took out the silver, and continued to recruit people.

After smoking a pack of cigarettes, the old demon cultivator opened one eye and shouted to the long line: "Don't queue up if you are over 40 years old. Go to the city to get some food and meat for the winter. We will arrange work for you in the spring of next year."

With a shout, half of the people in the team were gone immediately. Hearing that there was food and meat to be collected, even some young people followed.

The old demon cultivator did not force it, although it was true that the Heavenly Demon Sect was short of people now. But if someone was unwilling to sell himself, they would not force it, unless this person was really excellent and was a special talent needed by the sect.

Then, the recruitment began.

A skinny man came up, and the old demon cultivator looked at his teeth first, then his eyes, and finally pinched his bones like looking at an animal, then nodded and said: "Skinny bones, can you read?"

The man shook his head slightly. The old demon cultivator continued, "One reserve demon soldier. Is there anything you can do?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "I can farm!"

The old demon cultivator nodded and said, "Very good. One reserve demon soldier for farming. Here is your fifteen taels of silver. If you want to bury your relatives, there is a coffin shop in front. If you want to eat, there are porridge shops and noodle shops. Remember not to eat too much at one time if you are very hungry. Remember to report to the government office tomorrow. You will be a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the future. Come on, open your mouth!"

A pill was thrown into the man's mouth and watched him swallow it. The old demon cultivator smiled and nodded, "Next!"

The recruitment was very smooth. In a short while, dozens of useful people were all recruited as demon soldiers.

These days, there are still too many poor people. A dozen taels of silver are enough for him to buy some land and support his family. And he himself can survive by joining the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Sometimes, many demon cultivators think that the sect leader is too kind.

Why not just capture people if they are short of people? Why pay them money? It's like a righteous sect.

However, after working for a while, everyone realized that the sect master's actions made sense. First, the demon soldiers bought with money are willing to work for the sect, they will not resist, will not mess around, and will not be bought by the righteous coalition. Secondly, it was unexpected that such an approach could actually undermine the prestige of the righteous coalition.

After all, he is the sect master, who has a long-term vision!

"Huh? You want to be a demon soldier too?"

Suddenly, the old demon cultivator widened his eyes at the little beggar who had just come up.

Although the little beggar looked timid and a little dirty, he was very different in the eyes of the old demon cultivator.

First of all, this little beggar was delicate and tender, and it was obvious that he was not from a poor family. Secondly, others could not see it, but he could see at a glance that this little beggar was a woman, and a good-looking woman.

It was really a trick to recruit people. How could there be a good-looking woman to be a demon soldier?

How can a pretty girl not survive? If she really can't survive, she can go to a rich family and be a maid. She can survive anyway.

There's something wrong with this woman!

The old demon cultivator rolled his eyes and didn't reach out his hand. He just smiled and asked, "Can you read? What can you do?"
