I was a charlatan in India

"Boss, is this going to work? There's already a lot of dissatisfaction right now."

One of the private soldiers covered his toes, frowning and questioning.

Let alone the commoners recruited from outside, even these legitimate private soldiers couldn't endure this hardship.

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you still want to kick durians in the future!"

The officer was not entirely sure himself, so he could only call upon his trusted confidant, the private soldier in front of him, to conduct a small-scale trial first.

Upon hearing the word "kick the durian," the private soldier shuddered and immediately blurted out, "Of course we don't want to!"

"Then we'll do it!"

The officer gritted his teeth and said, "Remember one principle: never tolerate anyone who causes trouble. Whoever comes, just say the word..."

"If you won't do it, plenty of others will!"

"this……"

The private soldiers hesitated.

The officer urged, "Are you going to do it or not? If not, I'll replace you. You'll be kicking durians again tomorrow!"

"No, no, I'll get right to it. I'll arrange it right away."

Eh!

You know what, this nonsense, no, the teachings of Heaven are really effective!

The officer seems to have discovered a new path.

This trusted confidant in front of me is usually full of tricks and is the best at bargaining.

I didn't expect that changing my attitude would make it work so quickly!

I see, I see!

That's great, I'm starting to understand everything!

Of course, humans are just that kind of shameless creature; it's a biological instinct.

Both pleasure and pain are, strictly speaking, necessary for living beings. Whichever you can provide, you can attract a suitable partner.

That's why there's shaking...

cough cough.

What's even more frightening is that most people need both.

The new experimental site was located in the north of the city.

The venue was easy to find; once the Gupta family made the offer, no one dared to refuse.

What's more, they even gave us money.

My goodness, the Gupta family actually pays for their purchases!

However, when the new job postings were released, many people looked at them with frowns.

Of course, it wasn't because I was annoyed, but because I didn't quite understand it.

But after the private soldiers who posted the notice explained it, everyone quickly understood the logic behind it.

After joining, you will receive free meals and accommodation, and seven days of free training.

Free food and drinks!

Free training!

Even if you quit in the future, you can still learn a skill!

That sounds good!

Next is... um?

Since it is a talent selection process, it is divided into a probationary period and formal membership.

However, even during the probationary period, salaries will be paid as if they were full-time employees, only delayed by twenty days.

Food and lodging will be provided during this period!

In other words, even if you sneak in to fill a spot, you can still get a generous reward for a while.

Who said Gupta bullies people by abusing its power!

This person is such a kind soul!

kind!

For a time, the number of applicants was even higher than when the high salaries were clearly stated.

That's natural.

When you openly advertise high salaries, many people worry that they are not qualified and thus stop before the interview.

And there are no barriers to entry...

Naturally, they want to try everything.

Even if you don't meet the requirements, you can still earn a high salary for a while, right?

For these people, not taking advantage of a good deal is just being a coward!

And you know what, this ascetic practice doesn't really require much intelligence; in fact, the lower your intelligence, the better you might do.

The best thing to do is cry after the pain subsides, forget about it after crying, and then continue kicking the durian!

If someone possesses such qualifications, they are truly one in a million, a chosen one!

Just like some assembly lines that tighten screws, they often include a few high-scoring questions in the recruitment process, and anyone who can answer them correctly is rejected.

They are intelligent and not easily manipulated.

How can you calculate the circumference of a circle?

So incredibly perceptive!

This child must not be allowed to live!

disuse!

Judging from the surge in the number of applicants, the underlying logic of this recruitment process is sound; it's just that the wording needs to be carefully considered.

Of course, that's a matter for those private soldiers. Shenhe only cares about the general direction; whoever is in charge of the specific optimizations is responsible for them.

If it can't be done well, replace the person.

The first penance factory in Varanasi was thus established!

As we mentioned before, a disciple of the Buddha infiltrated the new religious order...

They certainly wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by.

Under the lamplight, several eminent monks huddled together.

"Let's set off now and accomplish this task. The Buddha will reward us handsomely!"

Mahata hesitated for a moment, then objected, saying, "This is not appropriate."

"inappropriate?"

A gaunt monk frowned and said, "Mahatha, this is the Buddha's will. You don't intend to disobey, do you?"

Mahata was slightly taken aback.

Then, he quickly made a firm statement.

"This is the Buddha's instruction, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is..."

"Alright, alright, you want to bring up the Diamond Sutra again, don't you?"

The thin monk's tone was full of impatience.

"Mahayana, who among you isn't a high-ranking monk? Don't think that just because you're from the capital, you're superior to us!"

"As for you, you actually lost a debate with those ignorant followers of the old religion the other day, which is a disgrace to Buddhism!"

"Now you're even going against the Buddha's will; I seriously doubt if you still remember your devotion to Buddhism!"

This gaunt monk was rude and showed no mercy to Mahata, suggesting that the two had some past grievances.

Although the other monks did not directly mock him, they also showed disdain on their faces.

Seeing that no one had any intention of engaging in direct communication, Mahata could only sigh and get up to leave.

"Tsk tsk, a high-ranking monk from the capital, huh? He just walks away when he can't win an argument, really..."

The thin monk remained sharp-tongued.

Soon, the monks reached a consensus and found the ascetic factory.

"Benefactor, we are monks from the surrounding area, seeking a livelihood. We wonder if there are any restrictions on religious beliefs when hiring here."

The two private soldiers exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that their boss hadn't mentioned any restrictions, only that anyone who came should be let in first to see if they could adapt.

They were initially hesitant, but seeing that the other party also nodded slightly, they agreed and made a decision, pointing to the storefront.

"Go register over there!"

Of course, they didn't forget to report to higher levels.

Therefore, when these eminent monks were extremely uncomfortable being squeezed among a group of lower-class people, Shenhe already knew about it.

He needs to see what's going on.

Although these monks were not his followers, many of the lower-class people who came to apply for the job had already paid homage to Shenhe River during the porridge distribution.

So he quickly found several carriers and turned his attention to them.

Hmm... these monks are unfamiliar.

Shenhe shifted his gaze, trying to find Mahata's figure.

That neurotic monk always made him feel wary.

Although I could burn him to death with a single powerful beam of light.

Shenhe looked around for a while but couldn't find Mahata, so he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, he still kept a watchful eye.

If these monks bow to you, you must not respond to them no matter what.

Monks during Ashoka's time weren't so destitute that they had to practice asceticism to earn money. If they really couldn't afford to eat, they could simply make up a name and extort money from local small merchants.

Merchants who are extorted usually accept their bad luck and don't bother to verify the facts.

After all, these monks have shaved their heads and all look pretty much the same. If you offend them with your words, they will only escalate the situation.

Even if you can save some money occasionally, if you attract their repeated visits, you won't be able to do business anymore.

Yes, it was similar to thugs collecting protection money; many monks in that era were in that position.

Therefore, many locals do not call them monks, but uniformly refer to them as "monk soldiers," regardless of whether they have a corresponding official position.

Of course, for Shenhe, one possibility cannot be ruled out.

That means the people in front of us are indeed enlightened monks who have traveled here just to beg for food.

However, he quickly dismissed this conjecture.

The disdain on their faces was impossible to hide, or perhaps they never even tried to hide it.

To these high monks, being crammed together with this filthy bunch of lowly people was an insult.

Just bear with it. Once you've infiltrated this cult and the Buddha bestows a reward upon you, leave immediately.

Several eminent monks made this plan.

Of course, they don't yet know what they are about to face.

Even Shenhe couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of what was about to happen.
