The other 30% either squandered the money because of their bad nature, or lost it.

Their fate was that not only would they not be admitted to the Western Factory, but they would also be expelled from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Even if they cried and begged for another chance, what they got in return was a kick in the face with a shoe with an iron plate inlaid on it.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people, no one will sympathize with them!

In the afternoon, the 70% of temporary workers earn money much slower.

When the appointed time came, they returned to the Jinyiwei Yamen one after another.

Wang Chengen and Sun Kangwang had been waiting for a long time. After everyone arrived, Wang Chengen walked out of the lobby, looked at the people in the yard, and spoke slowly.

"Okay, we've been busy all day, take out all your money and put it in front of you!"

After saying that, he looked at Sun Kangwang again.

"Admiral Sun, please have your men read out the elimination list."

Sun Kangwang nodded, and a Jinyiwei stepped forward, took out a list from his arms and began to read it.

"Zhou Qi, gambling, foul eliminated!"

"Ma Chong, use your own money to make up the number and be eliminated!"

"Liu Erwu, you are a cunning thief, you should be eliminated!"

"........."

As the names were read out one by one, the temporary workers whose names were called left the team with a frustrated look on their faces and were escorted out.

Suddenly, a man shouted in the crowd.

"Why? I just received money to fight for others. There is nothing in the rules that forbids this!"

"There are people who make money by selling their butts, why don't you eliminate them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up with a red face and said, "What's wrong with me selling my butt? Is there any law in the Ming Dynasty that forbids people from selling their butts?"

This made Wang Chengen, who was standing under the eaves of the lobby, speechless.

Damn it, just sell it, why do you look so proud of it?

but.........

We like people who are so shameless!

Only by being shameless can you achieve great things!

Lord Wen said so!

He immediately waved his hand to the Jinyiwei next to him and said, "Kick that guy who was paid to fight out of here!"

"No, send him to Shuntian Prefecture and let them punish him as he deserves!"

Chapter 226 Such a talent is just a non-staff member?

Among the five hundred people who passed the assessment, the least amount of money they earned was increased from two taels of silver to three taels.

The most that could be achieved was turning two taels of silver into four hundred taels!

And these people are Ding Xiu and Shui Hedong!

In addition to selling six pills to Mr. Liu, they made another profit using the same method in the afternoon.

The total amount of silver the two of them had was a full eight hundred taels. After dividing the profits, they were tied for first place among the temporary workers.

This made it difficult for Wang Chengen not to notice them, so he had them taken to the lobby and questioned them carefully.

"Tell me, how did you come up with this idea?"

Shui Hedong bowed to Wang Chengen.

"To answer the factory master, I am also lucky. I heard people gossiping in the restaurant a few days ago, saying that Mr. Liu was not doing well, so I thought of going over to give it a try."

He said it lightly, but Wang Chengen noticed something and asked in surprise.

"You still remember the gossip that others said?"

Shui Hedong scratched the back of his head and smiled unnaturally: "My other parts are not good, but my ears are OK."

"I can basically remember everything someone says to me, and I won't forget it within half a year!"

"hiss........."

Wang Chengen took a deep breath and stood up from his chair.

"Is everything you said true?"

He can't believe it!

It would be fine if there was a Wen Tiren in the court, but how could this thug on the street have such ability?

Who can I go to for justice?

Shui Hedong nodded confidently: "If the factory owner doesn't believe me, you can test me."

Wang Chengen thought for a moment, pointed at him and said, "Do you remember the list of people who were just eliminated?"

Shui Hedong closed his eyes, thought for a while, then opened his mouth and spoke slowly.

"Zhou Qi, gambling, foul eliminated!"

"Ma Chong, use your own money to make up the number and be eliminated!"

"Liu Erwu, you are a cunning thief, you should be eliminated!"

"........."

While he was reciting, Wang Chengen had already taken the list from the Jinyiwei and was comparing it one by one.

As Shui Hedong read out the names one by one, as well as the reasons for their elimination, Wang Chengen gradually lost his composure.

Damn it!

I found a treasure!

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Sun Kangwang.

But Sun Kangwang smiled and shook his head at him: "Don't even think about it, Eunuch Wang. I will not let this man go!"

His smile is so fake!

Because, in his heart, he had already greeted all eight generations of his subordinates' ancestors!

Damn it, such a talent is just a non-staff member?

Are you all so blind?!

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen had no choice but to take out the handwritten order given to him by Zhu Youxiao.

"Admiral Sun, it would be bad if you don't release them, right?"

Sun Kangwang shook his head again: "Eunuch Wang, if we were not brothers, I would not give you face. It would be a waste of talent if such a person was sent to the West Factory!"

"To be honest, I am ready to petition His Majesty to grant Shuihedong a centurion title."

Wang Chengen glared at him with disdain: "Century? You are burying talent. If he were to work for us, he would at least be a thousand households!"

"Let him go! I'll treat you to hotpot at my house later!"

However, Sun Kangwang didn't give him any face. He took out two silver ingots from his arms and played with them while speaking.

"Look at what you said, eunuch. Although my monthly salary is not much, I can still afford hot pot. Why do I have to ask you to treat me?"

Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and stretched out a slap: "Five meals! We will treat you to five meals of hot pot!"

"No!" Sun Kangwang shook his head and refused again.

Wang Chengen stretched out his hand again: "Ten meals! And every meal has beef!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Kangwang immediately changed his tone.

"make a deal!"

He knew very well that with the imperial edict there, he could not keep this person.

Even if I confront him in front of the emperor, it might not work!

Although Shui Hedong is very capable, he is not qualified to stay in the palace unless he is killed.

At that time, it will still have to be handed over to Wang Chengen.

Just because he was a talent buried by the Jinyiwei and was discovered by Wang Chengen!

Perhaps he himself would be blamed by Zhu Youxiao because of this.

So even though I felt bad, I had to let the person go for the sake of ten hotpot meals.

"Hahahaha, Admiral Sun, that's really nice of you. After work, I'll have people prepare wine and food at the West Factory and wait for Admiral Sun to come!"

Wang Chengen is very happy!

Talents are rare, and the way he looked at Shui Hedong was as if he was looking at a treasure, extremely rare.

But the person involved, Shui Hedong, was dumbfounded.

How could such a small ability of eavesdropping cause two big guys to fight over it?

Doesn’t that mean that my spring is about to come?

At this moment, Ding Xiu poked him from behind and whispered, "Brother, ask the factory owner how much your monthly salary will be after you enter the West Factory."

Shui Hedong rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Bargaining for price before starting work, isn't that just making things difficult for yourself?

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he refused, Ding Xiu stood up on his own.

He just bowed to Wang Chengen and then asked seriously.

"Master, I am a brother to Shui Hedong. He asked me to ask you how much I will be paid per month after I join the West Factory."

Shui Hedong's face suddenly turned dark when he heard this.

He had an urge to kick Ding Xiu out on the spot!

Damn it!

What a bad person!

Wang Chengen's attention was always on Shui Hedong, so he naturally noticed their little movements, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he replied with a smile.

"All salaries are the same as those of the Jinyiwei."

"Not long ago, His Majesty issued an order to increase the monthly salaries of officials at all levels. I'm sure you've heard about it."

"With Shui Hedong's ability, he can be promoted to a thousand households after entering the West Factory, a fifth-rank official, with a monthly salary of 200 taels of silver!"

Ding Xiu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Shui Hedong with envy, but then he said something that shocked everyone present.

"Boss, with my brother's ability..."

"It's not impossible to be a thousand households, but this is a salary......"

"You have to pay more!"

Shui Hedong's face turned even darker!

He wanted to strangle this guy to death!

Damn it, if he didn't understand this guy's character, he would have suspected that this guy was trying to ruin his future!

But after hearing what Ding Xiu said, Wang Chengen burst into laughter on the spot.

"Hahahaha, you're so straightforward. We like people like you!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say. We'll pay the water manager more!"

"Two hundred and twenty taels of monthly silver!"

"But now that I've talked about Shui Qianhu, it's time to talk about you."

"We originally wanted you to be a Qianhu like Shui Qianhu, but now we have changed our minds."

Ding Xiu was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed and looked at Wang Chengen eagerly.
