Ouyang Shuo was going to go to the barracks to see how the recruits were selected.

When he went out, the black fangs, who had grown a lot, came out of the corner of the courtyard and followed behind Ouyang Shuo. Since the second baby went to the private school to study, no one played with it during the day, and this little cub could only run around in the courtyard by himself.

Since Gu Sanniang presided over the kitchen of the Lord's Mansion, Heiya's food has changed greatly, and the meat and bones have never been broken. In less than a month, the cub has grown extremely strong.

Ouyang Shuo, the master, is either busy with territorial affairs all day long, or hiding in the office to read, and has never been a manager who knows it, leaving it to fend for itself. Blackfang was a little resentful of his master, who often ignored him. Now seeing that the master was going out again, he followed pathetically behind him, not leaving an inch.

Ouyang Shuo didn't care about it, let it follow, and walked straight out. Along the way, there are construction sites everywhere, and it is a busy scene. On the commercial street, the construction of grain shops, butcher shops and cloth shops has begun.

The wave of privatization is intensifying, and there is talk of it everywhere. No, on the construction site of the grain shop, two young men were chatting hotly.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, why are you so energetic to work today?"

"Haha, it's not all privatization. Last night, Cuihua found me and secretly told me that as long as I could buy a small courtyard, she would marry me and live with me. ”

"Hey, boy, that's amazing. I usually look like a stuffy gourd, why don't you make such a sound, when will you hook up with such a beautiful girl as Cuihua. It's hidden, you kid! ”

"Go and go, what is it called hookup, the two of us are called two lovers, do you understand!"

", others don't know you, I don't know! You kid, you have a lot of flowers! I see, those little ladies will eat you. Usually a serious and honest look, when it is critical, there are many small means! ”

"Go, go, don't smear my image here, you are naked jealous!"

"I'm jealous of you, you're my good brother, and I'm only happy that you find your daughter-in-law. Hehe, in other words, stinky boy, teach me two tricks when you are there, so that I can also find a beautiful daughter-in-law and live a good life together in peace and stability, that is called happiness. ”

"I don't have any tricks, my heart is sincere, I don't know! Wow when you're fine, go to Mazu Niangniang's to make incense and worship well. ”

"Nonsense, Mazu Niangniang is the god of the sea, and she can still manage the marriage in the world."

"Hehe, believe it or not. I won't have anything to do with you, let's get to work! Later, I have to inquire about how much this small courtyard costs. ”

Ouyang Shuo listened to the two of them interestingly, beckoned them to his side, and asked with a smile, "What is your name and which household do you belong to?" ”

"Back to the adult's words, Xiaomin Wang Er (Sixi) belongs to a craftsman household and is a stonemason." The two young men replied stiffly.

"Stonemason, stonemason is good, it's a good craft." He pointed at Wang Er and said with a smile, "Didn't you just ask about the price of the independent courtyard?" I can tell you right now, for only 600 copper coins. As long as you are willing to be motivated and buy a small courtyard, it will be a matter of time or time. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Wang Er said excitedly.

"Don't thank me, you deserve it. What did you just say, that you are going to marry a daughter-in-law? Well, this is a great event! In this way, on the day you get married, I will personally be your witness. ”

Wang Er was overjoyed, and he couldn't say anything excited.

Ouyang Shuo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, go get busy!" Remember my words, and when you get married, come directly to the lord's mansion to find me. ”

Wang Er nodded vigorously, and his companions around him were envious.

Yesterday afternoon, the construction department began to upgrade the barracks, working overtime, and this morning it was successfully completed. The new barracks, which have been expanded fivefold in size, should be fully equipped and no longer look crowded.

On the brand-new school field, Shi Wansui was taking Lin Yi and was busy selecting soldiers. This time the army will be expanded, and 73 new recruits will be recruited at one time, which is a very large workload. Yesterday they had already posted the recruitment announcement. After the last territorial defense battle, the enthusiasm of the big guys to join the army is very high.

Ouyang Shuo roughly counted it, and there were about 120 people who signed up to join the army on the school field. Unsurprisingly, most of them were members of the defunct Provisional Militia Reserve.

Because of the abundance of soldiers, in order to select the best of the best, Shi Wansui set four standards for height, body shape, eyesight and physical fitness. Only those who meet all four criteria will be admitted.

The height must not be less than five feet two inches, which is equivalent to 173 centimeters in reality. In ancient times, such a height was already a very high standard.

The body type requires pipa legs, the car is withdrawn, and the force is taken. The lute leg is the thick thigh, and the axle body should be wide shoulders and thin waist. In addition, there is also a requirement for strength, and arm strength is the main one, and those with strong arm strength are preferred.

Arm strength is a prerequisite for the use of crossbows, and this recruitment is dominated by crossbow cavalry, requiring each soldier to be equipped with a single-armed crossbow, so there is this regulation. The arm strength test is simple, as long as you can lift the special stone lock with one hand, you will be considered to have passed. The stone lock weighs 50 kilograms, and it cannot be lifted without arm strength.

Crossbow cavalry also had high requirements for the eyesight of their soldiers. Patients with night blindness and myopia are eliminated first, and then those with excellent vision are selected from among the rest.

The last one is a physical fitness test, which requires candidates to run ten laps around the school field to pass. The school field is close to 400 meters, which means that the applicant has to run nearly 4,000 meters to pass.

Ouyang Shuo stood aside and watched the recruitment test with interest. After each test, some people are happy and some are worried. Those who passed the test cheered. Those who fail the test are naturally depressed.

It lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, when all the soldiers were selected. Seventy-three qualified people lined up in the school field, and the remaining eliminated ones were all sent out of the barracks.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the recruitment organized by Shi Wansui. He didn't give any impromptu speeches, but walked straight to the transfer chamber and pressed his right hand against the door.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for opening the barracks transfer secret room without clothes. The Intermediate Barracks can convert a peasant to a Tier 1 militia for 10 credits. You can also convert a level 10 militia to a first-order soldier, and the transfer cost is 1 gold coin. Please choose how to change jobs! ”

"Transferred to the militia!"

"System prompt: The transfer method is confirmed, please select the number of job transfers!"

"73 people!"

"System prompt: The number of job transfers is confirmed, and the player is deducted from 7 gold coins and 30 silver coins."

The new members who lined up in the playground walked into the secret room one by one and began to change jobs. The militia that has been transferred to the service is not directly integrated into the cavalry squadron or the military intelligence department. It's about training together and leveling up together. After all levels have been raised to level 10, they will be assigned according to their performance in the militia stage. Such an approach is similar to the design of a boot camp in reality.

After the recruitment was over, Ouyang Shuo called Shi Wansui, Lin Yi and Sangouzi to the barracks meeting hall. As for the task arrangement of the army in the next stage, he felt that it was necessary to arrange it separately.

"At the village stage, a cavalry squadron is enough for all kinds of challenges. As the territory expands, it is likely that new rogue camps will appear. This time, I will not participate in the task of exterminating the Liukou battalion, and will be fully entrusted to the cavalry squadron and the Military Intelligence Department. ”

"There is only one requirement, and that is to train the team to the maximum extent possible on the premise of minimizing casualties. Especially the recruit team, let them see the blood. A bloodless army has no future. Don't look ahead, I'll give you casualty indicators. ”

Shi Wansui and Lin Yi nodded vigorously, indicating that they understood.

"You can't slack off in your usual training. I suggest that General Shi preside over the compilation of a code of conduct for the army, standardize training, and strictly enforce military discipline. Discipline is the soul of the army, and it must be strict from the very beginning and must always pay unremitting attention to it. After I come down, I will write a guide on military discipline and daily training for reference. ”

Shi Wansui nodded solemnly, his expression solemn. This fierce general naturally has a set of ways to fight wars, but he still lacks some in the daily management of the army. Fortunately, when the army was first built, everything was still in time, and with the assistance of Lin Yi, a young general, I believe it would be much better.

"Except for the Rogue Camp, you can't be soft on the beasts. What should be eliminated must be resolutely eliminated, and this group of beasts must no longer be allowed to form a scale and leave hidden dangers. A long time ago, General Shi encountered a herd of wild goats, but mysteriously disappeared. I wonder if they're hiding. Taking advantage of this time, the cavalry squadron and the military intelligence department should make joint efforts to increase the search efforts and strive to add another kind of livestock to the territory. ”

When it comes to wild goats, Shi Wansui himself is a little embarrassed, after so long, he has no clue at all. He clenched his fists and swore that he would find the brutes this time.

Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look at the three dogs, "The Military Intelligence Department has just been established, and I won't ask too much. Your task is not on the outside. We can't always wait until the territory is upgraded and passively check for security risks in the territory. Therefore, the Military Intelligence Department should take the initiative to probe the situation outside the territory. Find out the distribution of the Rogue camp, and even find out if there are other player territories. ”

"In addition, I will give you an additional task, in the process of investigation, look for it by the way, and see if you can find the saplings of the mulberry tree, which is related to whether the territory can be successfully upgraded to a first-class township." Ouyang Shuo turned his head to Shi Wansui and said, "This task is equally effective for the cavalry squadron. ”

The two nodded in understanding.

"Well, I'm looking forward to good news from you!" Ouyang Shuo ended the conversation neatly, and many things could not be further discussed until the situation became clear.
