He was comparing himself secretly, but as long as there was no conflict openly, Luo Ji didn't have to worry.

Along the way, both of them were in peace, and after a lot of running around, they quickly arrived at the outskirts of the mine.

Luo Ji was really familiar with this mine.

Of course, you still have to pretend where you should, and you have to pretend it's your first time here.

Since the main prisoners in this mine are prisoners of war, Yiren also stationed a lot of troops here.

After the border army captured several cities in this area, the first thing they did was to replace the garrison troops at this mine with all the troops stationed in this area.

Under this premise, the troops here have undoubtedly received the information that they are coming in advance, and coupled with the docking of the accompanying wingmen, the whole thing went very smoothly.

However, there are a lot of prisoners of war in this mine, and it is undoubtedly unrealistic for Luo Ji to look at them one by one.

So the best way now is to let Luo Ji make a request, and then ask the mine supervisor to help him select a group of people according to Luo Ji's request, and then let Luo Ji select from this group of people.

Of course, according to Henry Boll, it's up to him to take it all away, as long as he can digest it.

At this moment, Luo Ji was not vague and quickly made the request he had already decided on.

The first requirement, and also the most important one, is honesty, or stability.

At this juncture, even if he had to abandon some capable people, he would never pick a group of thorns back.

On this basis, as additional requirements, he will put forward some requirements such as literacy, quick thinking, and quick work.

Luo Ji didn't have to wait too long. On Yiren's side, the Border Army's military discipline was quite strict and they were very resolute in their work. They quickly brought over a group of people who met Luo Ji's requirements.

This group of people is very small in number. At a glance, there are only eleven, which is very clear.

Of course, the mine did not ask the entire mine, but only the nearest area. To a certain extent, it was too much.

Looking at these unkempt humans, Luo Ji tentatively confirmed...

"Are they all literate?"

"That's right."

Different from the Holy Light Holy See, which is an illiterate society, the human empire with highly developed science and technology has completely different development nature and system from the Holy Light Holy See. For the human empire that pays attention to the development of science and technology, the cultural level is very important.

Literacy is a basic condition for these humans.

However, the languages ​​and scripts of the Human Empire and the scripts of the Holy Light Holy See are not consistent, so Luo Ji's request can still filter out a large number of people.

Under this premise, to be able to find eleven humans who understand the Chinese script of the Holy Light Holy See so quickly is already considered the result of the long-term war and mutual research between the two civilizations.

And here, the words of the Yiren officer are worth pondering.

The meaning of the Yiren officer is very obvious. The matter of literacy is what these people themselves said, and they have not confirmed it.

But this is actually just a small problem. If the other party lies, the lie will be revealed soon, and there will be no good fruits to be gained by then.

"Okay, let's stand aside these eleven people. How many of them meet my other requirements, leaving aside the fact that they are literate?"

Now, the number of people was much larger. Almost 500 people were brought in at once. In this area, this was not all. If the limited space was not considered, the number of people could be even more.

The reason is also very simple. It has been many years since the war with the Human Empire ended. If this unruly thornhead could survive in this mine until now?

Those who have survived until now, at least on the surface, are all honest.

As for what's on my mind...

They don't know and can't control it.

As the first batch, five hundred people was a bit too much and could easily cause trouble, so Luo Ji still had to screen them out for the time being.

Luo Ji had already decided on this screening method.

He directly asked a question in front of everyone. The core of this question lies in four words, which is 'weighing the pros and cons'.

A person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons can have better control and is less likely to cause trouble.

After finishing the questions, Luo Ji gave them five minutes to think, while he sat in the lounge next to them.

After five minutes, these people go in one by one. Each person has one minute to tell their thoughts, and he will decide who to take away based on the answers.

During this period, the reason why a one-minute time limit was set was of course due to time issues. There were too many people. If there was no time limit, he might not be able to finish it tomorrow morning.

On the other hand, it is a test of a person's language logic and thinking ability. If you can explain this matter clearly within one minute, it at least shows that this person's language logic and thinking ideas are relatively clear.

The whole process went very smoothly.

Many of them performed so poorly that they were interrupted by Luo Ji and replaced before they could speak for a full minute. At the same time, some people were picked by Luo Ji before they could speak for a full minute.

At the end of the round, it was already late at night. Although they got up early today and moved quickly along the way, by the time the convoy arrived at the mine, it was already past noon.

At this point in time, Luo Ji wasn't too tired, but considering the condition of the soldiers, there was no need to go back all night. He could simply rest for the night and wait until the next morning before taking the selected people back.

After this trip, Luo Ji had confirmed that the eleven literate people were indeed literate, so he must have chosen them all.

In addition, among the nearly 500 prisoners of war, Luo Ji selected 319 people as the first batch, more than half of the total number of participants.

This result is undoubtedly due to Luo Ji lowering the standards to a certain extent. Basically, as long as your answer is clear and clear, with a clear idea of ​​'weighing the pros and cons', you will be successfully selected.

After entering the upper city, the guards assigned to him by Henry Bol quickly left, and Luo Ji didn't stop much, letting his motorcade return to the lower city along Central Street.

After returning to his city lord's palace, these three hundred people undoubtedly wanted to settle down first. After nightfall, Luo Ji sent Jessica and secretly summoned two of them.

The two people who walked in briefly cleaned up, shaved, and changed into clean clothes, but their years of hard labor still made them look very miserable.

Then, one of them looked at Luo Ji sitting there with a smile on his face...

"It was really beyond my expectation to be able to leave the mine so quickly. I originally thought it would take at least ten years."
