Ma Aimin was completely panicked when he got the news that the whole village of Zhoujiazhuang had been slaughtered.

At this point, why do you care so much? People can still think about some things when they are alive, but when they die, they have nothing.

In the barracks, he looked anxious and pleaded: "Commander Lin, the mutual protection of the joint village you said is naturally excellent, hurry up and set up a security team in Majia Village, as many people as you want, as long as you quickly build the security team, everything you say depends on you." ”

"Gotcha."

Since the old man was relieved, Lin Xiaoguang readily agreed, and he didn't get cheap and behaved.

Turning his head, he asked Niu Tie to call Niu Zhan and Niu Gensheng to come over, and when the two arrived, he immediately ordered: "Niu Zhan, you take a squad of soldiers to Majia Village to pick people, still under the same conditions, between the ages of sixteen and thirty, don't be disabled, finish distributing weapons and uniforms, and then you start training first." ”

"Gensheng, you also take a squad, and you will be stationed in Majia Village for the time being in the future, beware of the enemy coming and sneaking attack."

"No problem, right?"

"Yes." The two didn't say a word, they shouted yes directly, and saluted at the same time.

"Then do it."

The two received the order and immediately set off with their troops.

Early the next morning, it may be that the news of the mutual insurance of the joint village came out, and the whole village of Zhoujiazhuang was too shocked, and the villagers of several villages were in danger, and the village chiefs of each village had the idea of self-protection.

Of course, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't ask for it, so he readily agreed.

Up to now, three villages have joined Liancun Mutual Insurance, and his security team is about to exceed 150 people.

Yes, yes, it's moving fast.

Unexpectedly, at noon, Zhou Wenfu, the head of Zhoujiazhuang Village, who was resurrected 24 hours after his death, came to the door with the heads of several nearby villages.

Zhou Wenfu has read books and is quite shrewd, and he can see at a glance that this joint village mutual protection is not as simple as it seems.

Therefore, although he wants to find a backer for Zhoujiazhuang, he doesn't want to sell himself and Zhoujiazhuang, and it is not impossible to join the mutual insurance of Liancun, but he must take the initiative, otherwise the security team will be another black cloud village, and it will even be dangerous.

At noon, Niu Fugui asked his wife to cook a table of dishes.

In addition, he, Ma Aimin, Zhu Wusi, including Zhou Wenfu, and other seven village chiefs gathered in his house to discuss the mutual protection of the villages, as the main figure in this matter, Lin Xiaoguang naturally could not be absent.

It's a simple home-cooked dish, a large plate of chicken, braised pork, braised beef brisket with potatoes, stewed vermicelli with pork, spicy cabbage, shredded potatoes, and egg soup.

In the winter, there were no fresh vegetables, so I made up these six dishes and one soup.

Lin Xiaoguang ate with relish.

Zhoujiazhuang is the most spacious village in the vicinity, Zhou Wenfu has never seen anything, he has no interest in this common food, and he has no such thoughts at the moment, so he simply pinched a few chopsticks, and couldn't help but ask: "Commander Lin, of course the contemptible people believe in you, but this person has a different path, you and I have different identities, we don't dare to hand over the net worth and life of the whole village to you." ”

Zhou Wenfu is not an ordinary person, he is no different from the gentry in the city in a Tang costume, and his materials are not ordinary, he is a cultured person.

When Lin Xiaoguang heard this, he put down his chopsticks after a pause.

He heard the meaning of this, although he didn't explicitly say that he was a villain NPC, but the meaning was expressed.

He looked back and saw that the seven village chiefs, Ma Aimin's face was as usual, Zhu Wusi hesitated, and as for the other village chiefs, they looked at him even more suspiciously.

Only Niu Fugui stood up suddenly, glared at Zhou Wenfu angrily, and said, "Village Chief Zhou, what do you mean by this?" Mr. Lin has been in Niujia Village for a while, and he has never harmed the lives of any nearby villagers, but has killed a lot of thieves outside, and now he is even more inseparable from them, and you still doubt his identity? ”

Niu Fugui is young and has a loud voice, and at this moment, he is angry and angry, and Zhou Wenfu is taken aback.

When Lin Xiaoguang heard it, he was impressed by Niu Fugui, but he didn't expect him to support him so much, and he was a little moved in his heart.

"Village Chief Niu, stop being angry, Village Chief Zhou doesn't mean this, the villagers, look up and don't look down, sit down and sit down, peace is precious, don't let outsiders see the joke, let's talk slowly." Yang Feng, the head of Yangjia Village next to him, persuaded.

Niu Fugui didn't care about it, stared at Zhou Wenfu directly, and asked him to give an explanation.

Zhou Wenfu was also a little helpless, he was most afraid of these young people, they didn't understand anything, they were as reckless as a cow, and sighed at the moment: "Fugui, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." ”

"And what do you mean?"

"I mean, it's good to protect each other in the village, and the security team must be established, but there must be a charter for this, our security team is to protect the territory and the people, only for self-defense, it is a public weapon, not a certain person's private arm, this must be clearly distinguished." Zhou Wenfu said slowly, and inadvertently, glanced at Lin Xiaoguang.

As soon as these words came out, several village chiefs in Yangfeng nodded again and again, agreeing.

Lin Xiaoguang's face was as usual, with a warm smile, but on the contrary, he comforted Niu Fugui and said: "Village Chief, sit down and listen slowly, I think Village Chief Zhou's words are very reasonable." ”

"Village Chief Zhou, you go on!"

Zhou Wenfu saw that he had a good attitude, and his heart was a little calm, so he continued: "I heard that the security team recruits people, who are healthy and young between the ages of sixteen and thirty. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, we farmers can't delay farming."

"Village Chief Zhou didn't say it, but I forgot, Qingzhuang is the largest labor force, without them, how can the work in this field be done?"

"This is not good, the young people in the village have gone out, and there is no one to do the farm work."

Niu Fugui heard this, and his face was also a little dignified.

Lin Xiaoguang listened to it on the sidelines and understood, hasn't this question always plagued the farming nation? This led to the compulsory military service system of the Qin and Han dynasties, the government military system of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the conscription system of the Song Dynasty, the military household system of the Ming Dynasty, and so on, which continued to evolve and develop, and gradually improved.

It goes without saying that the conscription system produces elite soldiers, but it costs money, and the advantage of the compulsory military service system is that there are sufficient reserve soldiers, but it depends on strong dominance.

As far as the security team is concerned, there are now men in all villages, who are old and weak, and even if compulsory military service is implemented, they can only start with teenagers, or children's groups, because these children have a relatively light burden on farm work.

For the rest, it is unrealistic to take all of them out of work, and only a small part of them can be out of work.

Those who are out of work become professional soldiers and become standing soldiers, and those who do not work are included in the reserve and become militia.

Obviously, the standing force is destined to be small and fine, while the militia is large and complete, the standing force is a mobile force, responsible for clearing the villain NPCs around the village, clearing out the safe area, and leaving some fish that slip through the net, and the militia can naturally deal with them.

At that moment, Lin Xiaoguang smiled, and then told Zhou Wenfu and the others about his thoughts.

Zhou Wenfu listened thoughtfully.
