After arranging the delivery of the letter, Lin Xia asked Sophie to call Lucas, and Lucas's gang of homeless people had to arrange a place to live as soon as possible, and they couldn't stay in the townspeople's house all the time.

Lucas soon followed Sophie, and Lin Xia saw that Lucas was doing well, and he also changed into a new outfit, which should have been prepared for them by Campbell. But Lin Xia was also a little disappointed, Lucas was no longer the "Six Bags Elder" of the beggar gang.

As soon as Lucas arrived, he wanted to kneel down for Lin Xia, but Lin Xia stopped him directly and said to Lucas: "I will set aside a piece of land in Xilin Town to build a house and let you live." ”

Hearing that there was a house to live in, Lucas wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Lin Xia's eyes, and Lucas only felt that Lin Xia's eyes were too scary.

Lin Xia continued: "Of course, the house is not free, and I can't give you farmland, and the income can only depend on yourself. "After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and what you get for free is often not cherished.

"The family can lend you a sum of money, and of course the family will also charge some nominal interest, and this loan is enough for you to buy a house. As for income...... Lin Xia saw Lucas's expectant look and said: "I am going to establish a private army, and all of you who are eighteen to thirty years old can join the army, and the military salary is enough for you to repay the loan." In addition, I will set up a new business, where people over the age of 30 can come to work, and although the income is not as good as the military salary, it will be enough to repay the loan. ”

Lucas was still worried that he was too old to join the army, but he heard that there were other jobs that he had put down, and although the income of the jobs was not as good as the military salary, he would never be a homeless person again.

"You tell everyone what I mean, and let them come to the manor tomorrow. After Lin Xia finished speaking, he asked Lucas to go back.

Lin Xia called another brother of Hong Xing, this person was originally one of Rodney's deputies, and this time he followed Lin Xia out mainly to expand Hong Xing's power and expand Hong Xing's business. As for Rodney's deputy, well, Rodney has more than one deputy, and the reason why he is a deputy is actually a preparatory talent that Rodney cultivated for Hongxing.

This person's name is Birmingham, who was originally Hongchen's waiter, and after joining Hongxing, he followed Borg and practiced martial arts for a few months. It was later discovered by Rodney because Birmingham is particularly sensitive to numbers and is very fast in calculations, especially money.

After Lin Xia came to Birmingham, he made some arrangements for Birmingham, and Birmingham was ordered to leave.

Three days later, one of the Royal Forest barracks in Xilin began to be renovated and houses were built.

The barracks of the Royal Forest Army each have thousands of acres, and the barracks that are being renovated cover an area of 4,000 acres, Lin Xia did not transform the entire barracks, but only enclosed one hundred acres of them with a wall, and made two gates before and after, and wrote on the gate, Poly Central Mansion.

Well, Lin Xia just wanted to use the construction method of the community in the previous life to build the house.

According to Lin Xia's original plan, each building should have five floors, two households on each floor, and three units in each building, so that each building could accommodate thirty households. A community of 100 acres can make ten houses, so that it can accommodate 300 households, and at least 1,000 people.

But the reality is cruel, and to Lin Xia's disappointment, the house was not built with five floors, but only with three floors. Because of the cost, at the current level of construction in Charlemagne's continent, the cost of building a five-story building can build four three-story houses. What comforted Lin Xia a little was that because the buildings were short, the spacing between the buildings could be reduced, and fifteen houses could be built in one hundred acres. Such a community can also accommodate 270 households.

Among Lucas's more than 30 people, in addition to the elderly, women and children, there were 26 people, including eight people over the age of 30, all of whom were arranged to build the community, and Birmingham also began to recruit workers to build the community.

The remaining eighteen people were taken to the Xilin family's manor and became Lin Xia's private army, and Lin Xia didn't bother to care, so he asked Carlos to take these people to train, it is worth mentioning that the main training content of these people is no longer martial arts, but military training.

Lin Xia made a very big adjustment to the system of the private army and even the army, that is, the professionalization of soldiers.

The soldiers of Charlemagne's continent are similar to those in ancient China, there are very few real professional soldiers, most of the soldiers are farmers when they are busy with farming, and they are soldiers when they are slack, what combat effectiveness can such an army have.

Even the most famous iron army in Chinese history, Yue Fei's Yue Family Army and Qi Jiguang's Qi Family Army, if compared with modern professional soldiers, their combat effectiveness is also several grades different. The Qi family army fought the widows and cried their fathers and mothers, but the training of the Qi family army was only five days.

But Lin Xia asked professional soldiers to only focus on one thing, which was training. Lin Xia's purpose in doing this is very simple, because of the imperial decree, the viscount can only have a private army of five hundred people at most, since there are few people, I will train a special forces to come out.

Lin Xia also invited the existing private army in Xilin Town, and those who were willing to be professional soldiers would stay, and train with these eighteen people, if they were unwilling or reluctant, they could still be used as the private army of the Xilin family, but there was a possibility that they would be squeezed out by professional soldiers at any time.

The content of the training is based on the content summarized by Lin Xia's previous life watching military-themed TV series, and the content of the early stage of training is the content of the military posture, salute, walking in unison, walking in steps, and running and walking. These training contents made the original private army of the Xilin family completely incomprehensible, how could there be only training in military training, even Alex came to persuade Lin Xia to change the training content to "real" real military training.

What do you dirt buns know, Lin Xiali ignored Alex, and still let the private army do boring recruit training. Although these trainings are boring, the most important thing is to hone the mentality of these recruits, so that the recruits know the most important duty of a soldier: obedience.

The original 100-member private army of the Xilin family couldn't stand this kind of boring all-day training, even if there were people who wanted to be professional soldiers, they gave up after a week of training, which was really hard. But the eighteen homeless people have not complained of bitterness, and no matter how bitter they are, there is still a bitter life for the homeless.

Lin Xia remembered the "Soldier Assault" he watched in his previous life, and proposed the military soul of not abandoning or giving up.

What even Lin Xia didn't expect was that these eighteen people would become the mainstay of King Lin Xia's army in the future, and they were ridiculed by Lin Xia as the eighteen Arhats. Not abandoning and not giving up is an important spiritual pillar of King Lin Xia's invincible army. No matter how difficult King Lin Xia's army encountered, there was no abandonment or no abandonment to support them to continue to move forward.

......

Osborne originally didn't believe Lin Xia's "notice" of retreating, but remembering Lin Xia's affirmative expression, he always felt very apprehensive in his heart, hesitated for a few days, and finally wrote a letter to report the meeting with Lin Xia to his commander, and also vaguely mentioned Lin Xia's request to withdraw the army.

The next day, the chief's reply arrived, and the content of the letter was very simple, scolding Osborne. Although Osborne was scolded by the chief, Shin let it go. I also felt that there was a chief to support me, so I planned to wait a few days to make an appointment with Lin Xia to regain the face I had lost this time.

But what Osborne didn't expect was that a day later he received a letter from the commander, and there were only two words in the letter: withdraw the troops.

At this moment, Osborne's heart was completely cold, and Osborne even saw the unwillingness of the commander to write the word "withdraw the army". After being stationed in Xilin Town for two years, he didn't complete the secret mission given to him by the chief, and when he went back like this, the chief didn't know how to punish himself.

But what can be done, is there any other way to go now than to withdraw troops?

Osborne let out a long sigh, called all the officers, conveyed the order of the commander, and began to arrange for the withdrawal of troops.

A month later, Osborne's army withdrew from the town of Sillin.

............

In Xilin Town, Lin Xia recruited a large number of people in Birmingham, and in more than a month, a building has been built and more than 30 homeless people have lived in it. At the same time, Lin Xia also started her own new business: housing loans.
