The Wang family's mansion was a reward from Ying Zheng, and its location is relatively central to Xianyang City.
But what was a bit of a coincidence was that the Wang family lived next door to Meng Yi's family.
They were probably put together when Ying Zheng gave them as rewards.
No wonder Meng Yi seemed so familiar with the route.
"Yes, we are here to pay our respects to General Wang Jian."
The two of them were already sitting in the front hall drinking water.
The servants in the mansion had already gone to report, but the general had not appeared for a long time.
After a while, a tall man in armor walked in. Judging from his age, he was not Wang Jian.
"Greetings to General Wang Ben."
This person is also quite famous, the son of Wang Jian.
"I'm sorry to both of you, but my father is old now and will soon be retiring. He no longer interferes with the affairs of the court, so I'm here to receive you."
"I wonder what brings you two gentlemen to visit so suddenly."
Wang Ben looks about the same age as Meng Tian, but he looks much more serious and not as cheerful as Meng Tian.
"That's right."
The King of Zhao quickly repeated Ying Zheng's will.
It didn't matter whether he was receiving Wang Jian or Wang Ben, as long as he could bring her into the military camp.
"This is the king's secret decree. General, please take a look."
This was written to her by Ying Zheng because he remembered it. If it weren't for Wang Ben, he wouldn't have believed it.
"Well, since it is the king's will, I will take the two adults into the military camp."
"But, I wonder how many people you want to transfer from the army?"
After all, this was a mobilization of the army he led, so Wang Ben still felt a little concerned.
Not understanding the whole story, he didn't know what the king wanted to do and why he wanted to reduce his subordinates.
Could it be that the king was unhappy with his father's decision to retire and return home?
Wang Ben's face was serious, but he couldn't help but guess in his mind.
"Don't worry, General. We only expect to recruit two hundred workers this time. Take us to the barracks first, and we'll know then."
Wang Ben nodded and then led them to the military camp where the army was stationed.
The distance on the road was not short, and the few of them walked for a long time.
Wang Ben didn't say anything, so the atmosphere was a little silent.
Although Wang Ben didn't say anything, he was thinking a lot.
With only two hundred people, it doesn't seem to be a big problem. After all, he has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.
Wang Ben relaxed and his expression looked a little better.
At this time, the three of them had already approached the military camp and could hear bursts of howling coming from inside. That was the soldiers training.
As soon as the three entered the military camp, they were immediately looked at cautiously from all directions.
Of course, the main focus was still on Zhao Jun. After all, there were almost no women in this army.
The three of them walked all the way to the tent that had been set up in the military camp. They wanted to discuss things inside first.
When the curtain was lifted, a man wearing armor was sitting inside.
Zhao Jun took a quick glance and felt that the person looked familiar.
After hearing the other party's introduction, he realized that this was the "warrior" Li Xin whom he had met once.
"General Wang, why are you here today?"
Li Xin was originally sitting in his seat looking at something, when he looked up he saw a figure walking in.
Just as he finished greeting me, I noticed that there were two people following him.
Wang Ben nodded and introduced Meng Yi and Zhao Jun to her.
"Master Zhao, we won't waste any more time. First, tell me about the two hundred people you want."
"My Lord, do you want to choose it yourself, or do you want me to call you directly? What are your requirements?"
Wang Ben was very efficient and went straight to the point without much small talk.
According to his guess, there must be requirements for the two hundred recruits, otherwise she would not have to come to the military camp in person to find people.
"Okay, then I'll say it directly. First of all, these two hundred people will not be able to go back after they are called out from the barracks. From now on, they will have to follow Meng Yi for the time being, so this aspect must be made clear to these people."
Wang Ben frowned and nodded. What dangerous thing were they going to do? Would they never be able to come back?
"Now let's talk about the requirements. First, they should preferably be old Qin people. Second, they should mainly be soldiers injured in the barracks. They should be older and may not be able to exert their full strength on the battlefield. Finally, they should have already wanted to retire, but there is no one to arrange for them."
Zhao Jun quickly stated his request, and there was a moment of silence in the tent.
Even Meng Yi didn't know her recruitment criteria before.
"General Wang, do you understand what I mean?"
"Also, the most important thing for me to look for workers is that they are willing. If some soldiers' ideal is to kill the enemy on the battlefield, then let them go. That's not the kind of people I'm looking for."
Wang Ben was silent for a while before he came to his senses.
"Can I ask what you're going to do with these people?"
Wang Ben stared at her with clear eyes.
"That's good. I will assign them a project that is about to start. They will become my workers and they will only need to do physical labor."
"By the way, I was telling you about the treatment given to these people. They will follow Meng Yi, and will be provided with accommodation and three meals a day. They will rotate their work every day, and their wages will be settled monthly, 100 coins per person per month, and there will be additional benefits during holidays."
"You know the glass workshops in the city, they will become workers like those in the future."
Zhao Jun's treatment is really attractive.
Especially for those soldiers who are now idle, if they are not fighting, the army will only provide them with meals and almost no salary.
"General Wang, now you understand, I am here to help these soldiers."
