Barren mountain village.
Many villagers stopped at the end of the village, looking at the piles of beast carcasses at the end of the village with slightly fiery eyes.
"There are so many beast corpses. How many beasts have the village chief killed!"
"Yeah, they're so strong! Those mud soldiers don't look as strong as me, but I didn't expect them to be so strong!"
"The village chief has strong soldiers, which is a good thing! They can protect our safety! Now we don't have to worry anymore!"
"Yes, the village chief deserves to be the best village chief in the world..."
…
"Ding, congratulations to the player for convincing the refugees (villagers) with their actions. The popularity of the barren mountain villagers has greatly increased, public security has increased moderately, and the villagers' loyalty has increased slightly! The administrative and construction efficiency has increased slightly."
On the way back to the village, Xiao Jing was confused by the sudden system notification sound in his mind.
But if he doesn’t understand it, he won’t get hung up on it. After all, it’s a good thing after all!
"village head!!"
At the entrance of the village, Guo Yun saw Xiao Jing leading the terracotta warriors returning with a large number of beast corpses, and hurried to greet him.
He threw the wild boar on his back to the ground.
Villagers immediately came over and worked together to move the corpses to the warehouse just built in the village.
These beast carcasses were the food rations for the entire village when the village's fertile fields had just been reclaimed and no grain had been produced. Therefore, before leaving, Xiao Jing ordered Guo Yun to send people to build a warehouse for storing grain in the village. food.
Xiao Jing asked casually, "How is the village today? Nothing went wrong!"
Guo Yun responded quickly.
"The village is not in any serious condition, except that a group of refugees came..."
As he said that, Guo Yun sounded a little hesitant.
"Huh? Is there something wrong with this refugee?"
"The presence of the warriors who were left behind by the village chief didn't cause any big problems, but the refugee leader was a bit unruly and clamored to see the village chief."
"Yeah!!" Xiao Jing frowned slightly.
"Stingy head?!"
Such thoughts flashed through his mind, but he said: "Where is the leader of the refugees? I would like to know what kind of hero he is!"
"Please sir, lead the way!"
Hearing this, Guo Yun hesitated for a moment, but walked ahead and took Xiao Jing to the thatched house that had just been built in the south of the village.
Due to the lack of manpower in the village, the population was only 200 at full capacity. Some of them were cultivating wasteland and some were building warehouses. Therefore, the newly arrived refugees could only temporarily live in thatched huts and greenhouses.
Under the greenhouse, newly arrived refugees in twos and threes saw Xiao Jing and his party, especially when they felt the fierce killing intent of the terracotta soldiers behind them. There was a hint of fear on their faces, and their eyes unconsciously shifted to the horse with a horizontal sword in front of them, half On the big man with a knife lying on the ground.
"Brother Zhou! They..." a refugee reminded in a low voice.
The strong man with the knife felt a little impatient when he heard the murmuring words from his fellow villagers. He waved his hand and made a "everything is covered by me" gesture.
"Are you the leader of the refugees?"
Xiao Jing asked, but she secretly became more vigilant.
Just because he felt a strong pressure from this strong man.
That was crushing from the aspect of strength!
"Yes, I am!"
The strong man stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, picked up the big knife on the ground, and put it on his back.
He looked Xiao Jing up and down, and a smile appeared on his sinister and sinister face.
"Are you the head of the No. 1 village in the world?"
"That's right! Don't you know a strong man?" Xiao Jing replied with a thought.
Hearing Xiao Jing's confirmation words, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face, and he murmured in a low voice:
"Who is the leader of the number one village in the world? But I didn't expect that he is just an ordinary person! His strength is too poor."
Although he deliberately lowered his voice, the strong man's voice was indeed a bit loud, and this series of mutterings reached Xiao Jing's ears without any loss.
Xiao Jing's head was full of black lines, but her heart was filled with joy instead of anger.
Although what this strong man said is a little unpleasant, it is true. With his current strength, he may be able to dominate among players, but he is definitely not good enough among aborigines.
Moreover, this strong man is full of oppression at first glance, and he must be super strong. According to normal circumstances, it is very likely that people will not look down on him at all in this shabby village, and it is impossible to recruit him.
But what he didn't expect was that, perhaps because of his 'best in the world' trait, this strong man had heard of his reputation and gave him a chance to recruit.
"Me?! Just call me Zhou Cang!"
"Zhou Cang?!!!"
Is it the Zhou Cang he knows? ! !
At this moment, Xiao Jing's pupils shrank sharply, and a surge of ecstasy arose in her heart!
But soon, Xiao Jing calmed down.
Although this strong man is most likely the historical military general 'Zhou Cang', with his current capital, what basis can he use to recruit others?
Is it just this dilapidated village or those low-strength warriors?
Don't laugh, people don't like you at all.
Perhaps exposing the golden 'Wind Cavalry' in the village and the pre-Qin ruins 'Ancient Qin Secret Realm' might still be successful.
But with Xiao Jing's cautious character, even though Zhou Cang was very loyal in history, he knew people well but didn't know his heart, so he was unwilling to take this risk.
"It seems that I can only make decisions based on reputation!"
"But I just observed that Zhou Cang seems to be very concerned about these refugees. I wonder if we can make some fuss from this..."
Thoughts were rolling in his mind, and soon Xiao Jing had a smile on his face and said with a smile.
"It turns out to be a strong man from Zhou Dynasty. I wonder why the strong man came to my village?"
Zhou Cang touched his head, looked at the hope in the eyes of the refugees behind him, and said a little embarrassedly.
"Our village is suffering from a severe drought, and the government officials are pressing for food supplies, so we have no choice but to live in exile!"
"I heard that there is a village that is the best in the world nearby. After thinking about it, my fellow villagers and I thought about coming here to seek refuge."
"but……"
After saying that, Zhou Cang paused and took a look at how shabby the village was.
Although he didn't say it clearly, the disappointment in his tone could be felt.
Hearing this, Xiao Jing explained with a smile on his face.
"Zhuangshi Zhou, my village has just been established, so it seems a bit crude and I neglect you all."
After a pause, he changed his tone and continued: "However, I believe that as long as given time, the village will definitely develop."
"Besides, you don't know something, Zhuangshi Zhou. Although my village has just been established, there is a large plain behind the village. It can cultivate at least ten thousand acres of fertile land. I plan to distribute these fertile fields to the other villages in the future. A meritorious minister. Although it is difficult to join the village now, there are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. When the time comes, if you make some merit, you will not be rewarded with a lot of land and earn an heirloom."
Xiao Jing's tone was full of temptation and she said leisurely.
He believed that in this ancient society, no common people could bear the temptation of 'dividing their fields'.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Jing said these words, not only the eyes of the refugees behind Zhou Cang shone, but also the faces of Guo Yun and Li Ye, the first batch of villagers who joined Huangshan Village, were full of emotion.
"Village Chief, are you telling the truth?"
Immediately, another first-class citizen asked with a trembling tone behind Zhou Cang.
Xiao Jing nodded solemnly and said loudly: "Young men are not deceived!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to Zhou Cang who was thoughtfully beside him and said with a smile.
"Nowadays, the village is prosperous. I hope everyone can join the village and build a beautiful home together!"
"Zhou Zhuangshi, I wonder what you think?"
"I want to think about this..." Zhou Cang said hesitantly with some hesitation on his face.
However, his hesitation made the refugees behind him anxious.
Immediately one of the refugees said:
"Zhou Wazi, what are you thinking about? How can other places be so good? Those officials want to keep all the land in their own pockets. How can there be an official as good as Mr. Xiao?"
"Yes, yes, we know that you are capable and want to join the army and honor your ancestors, but we are just mud-legged people. How can those big families look at us!"
…
The villagers' persuasive words made Zhou Cang's face even more hesitant, and he was still unable to make up his mind.
Seeing this, Xiao Jing hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot.
"Zhou Zhuangshi, I promise that as long as you join the village, you will be the commander-in-chief, and the army in the village will be under your control."
Seeing the sincerity on Xiao Jing's face and the eagerness of the villagers behind him, Zhou Cang sighed inwardly and cupped his hands.
"Village Chief, I will follow you from now on. I hope the Village Chief will treat my villagers well!"
