What was the most direct way to draw out someone's potential?
The answer was very simple — through rewards!
As the saying goes: 'When a high reward is offered, brave fellows are bound to come forward.' The eight hundred young men Yan Liqiang gathered from the Hui Clan Gathering returned to Pingxi Prefecture disguised as guards recruited by the Yan Residence in Liuhe Town. With the reward he offered, they began working hard on the first day of training. They were told that after twenty days of training, only two hundred of those who performed well would be rewarded with a rhinodrake steed, a suit of armor, and weapons. Not only that, but the top ten performers would also additionally receive a hundred taels of silver and a promotion opportunity.
