"Those who are interested in applying can come forward and sign up for the test."

After Li Xuan shouted, a slender guy in the crowd immediately ran forward: "The little one is willing to apply, I don't know how to sign up for the test?"

This guy has sly eyebrows, although he is facing Li Xuan, his eyes are slyly looking at the Leopard 1 tank.

Li Xuan led him to the three barbells, pointed to the lightest one and said: "This thing weighs about 110 jin. Anyone who can lift it can join our army and become a small soldier."

110 two catties?
The slender guy was stunned for a moment, and Li Xuan pointed to the second barbell and said: "This one weighs about 160 jins. Those who can lift this can join our army and temporarily lead the fire."

160 pounds?

The slender guy was completely dumbfounded, and he looked at his small body, let alone a hundred and six, even the lightest 110 two, he couldn't lift it. "

The crowd also talked about Li Xuan's content, 110 two catties, this is the weight of a grown man, it is not easy to lift it, and it is difficult for people with little strength to do it.

As for these 160 kilograms, even for those with strong strength, it is not easy to lift them.

While the slender man was in a daze, Li Xuan pointed to the remaining barbell and said: "This is the heaviest thing, weighing two hundred and eight catties, whoever can lift it can join our army as the captain.

The captain, who can manage five fires, has a total of 50 people.

The weight of a catty in the Northern Song Dynasty was about 640 grams, and a catty in later generations was equivalent to 0.8 catties in the Northern Song Dynasty.The weight standard of the dumbbells customized by Li Chu is the catties of later generations. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the catties would have shrunk by 20.00%.

Two hundred and eight catties!
The voices of discussion among the crowd became louder. If 160 catties can be barely lifted, then [-] and [-] catties, no one can really lift this weight, unless it is the kind of gods and supernatural powers that can lift it.

Only the slender man, who was signing up for the test, looked embarrassed at the moment, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Shh, come on down, you, with your small body, don't say 110 pounds, I'll give you half of it, you can't lift it, don't be ashamed and conspicuous."

"Mang Xiaoer, come back quickly, this is not a place where you are greedy for cheap, don't annoy Chu Geer."

Mang Xiaoer shrank his head, looked at the 110-pound barbell again, and finally walked away dejectedly. Halfway there, he looked back at Li Chu, who was lying lazily on the Leopard 1 tank.

Hey, what are those two black things in Chu'er's eyes?
This stuff.

Sunglasses.

Although it is winter, the sun is also dazzling.

Anyway, he entrusted Li Xuan with the responsibility of recruiting soldiers. He has said everything that should be said and told, and there are people doing publicity outside, so he basically doesn't need to worry about it.

Putting a Leopard 1 tank here can not be used as a prestige, so that everyone has confidence in this township organization.

Just lying on the turret of the tank, when I got bored, I called up the customization system to design.

Design banner.

He didn't pay too much attention to the military flag, he directly chose the style of the flag of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the color was still fiery red, which is the virtue of fire.As for the pattern on the flag, this design has come and gone, but I always feel that it is not very good-looking.

While designing the banner here, someone from Li Xuan's side came to apply again.

This big man was 1.8 meters tall and had a very strong build. After he arrived, he walked straight to the second barbell and took off his coat, revealing the explosive muscles inside.

160 catties, he was easily lifted with a sip.

"What's your name?" Li Xuan asked the big man.

The big man didn't say a word, he walked past Li Xuan and walked to the third barbell. He was going to challenge two hundred and eight catties.

Li Xuan stepped aside.

The crowd of onlookers also paid attention to this man.

"Who is this person? It looks a little strange, as if he is not someone nearby."

"I'm not sure, but it's really unfamiliar. It looks like he's from out of town, passing by."

"Brother Deng, you have been here for many years, do you know this person?"

Big brother Deng shook his head: "Such a huge power should be famous, I have never seen this person, judging by his clothes, he should be from the north."

The big man took a deep breath in front of the barbell, gathered his strength, his arm veins swelled up, and he yelled loudly. The [-]-pound barbell was lifted by him. The big man's face turned red, and he yelled again. Stand up at the same time.

Raised!

Raised!

wow~
It was said just now that two hundred and eight catties can only be lifted by those who are born with supernatural powers. Now that they have just been recruited, someone really lifts it. Could it be that the weight of this thing is fake, not enough for a catty?
But more people are concerned about the follow-up of this lift.

According to what Li Xuan said before, if he can lift such a heavy weight, he can be a captain.

Really raised it?
Li Chu was also quite surprised, because the weight that a normal and strong person can lift is almost his own weight, so he set up a 140-jin barbell for later generations.

This is also the minimum requirement for the selection of this team.

Li Xuan asked the big man: "What's your name, and where is your place of origin?"

The big man replied: "Chen Zu, a native of Jincheng, Hedong."

Li Xuan asked again: "Are there any criminals or military officers?"

"White body."

Li Xuan turned his head to ask Li Chu for instructions, and Li Chu nodded.

"The test is passed. From today onwards, you will be the squadron leader of our army. Now you go to get your clothes and weapons. As for your troops, you can choose 50 people from the people who have passed the recruitment."

Immediately, Li Xuan led Chen Zu to the side. On the open space here, there were sets of armor equipment and weapons, which were all taken out by Li Chu from the tank just now, a hundred sets together.

The things are naturally not in the tank, but taken out of the customization space under the cover of the tank.

After Chen Zu changed his clothes and put on the armored robe, he chose a long sword among the weapons.

Seeing the complexity in Chen Zu's eyes, he kept touching the fabric of the clothes with his spare right hand.It is impossible for a person who can lift more than 200 catties of barbells to be white in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Li Chu didn't point it out either. Judging from the way Chen Zu walked and held his weapon, he should be a man from the Great Song Army.

He recruited soldiers and he just went out. Chen Zu couldn't know the news in advance. He happened to pass by the town and saw the recruitment here, so he came to sign up without hesitation.

Therefore, Li Chu was very relieved. As for why Chen Zu was no longer in the army, Li Chu didn't want to worry about the reason. He only knew that Chen Zu would be his soldier in the future!
Recruitment is still going on.

However, a not-so-accidental Renshi squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and found Li Chu.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Liu."
