Chapter 63: Who Wants to Harm Me? Come out!
Then the system refreshes the task, the two-star task of "Ten Thousand Tall Buildings", build a barracks within three days to recruit at least 100 soldiers, and after the task is completed, Happy Beans will be rewarded with 40 and one of the three items will be randomly selected.

It seems that time is very tight, and it is not a big problem to recruit a hundred recruits, but it is impossible to build an earth and stone barracks in three days, unless it is to set up a simple tent or a straw hut.
Looking at the barrenness in front of him, the venue is secondary, and the most important thing is to look at the people, Lin Chong couldn't help but look back towards the eastern suburbs of Bianliang.
On a plain, lush fields are planted with crops, and occasionally there are woods, hills, rivers and lakes.
It is a habitual gathering place for displaced people in Tokyo's jurisdiction, and there are about 20,000 people scattered within a radius of 20 miles, similar to a loose small market town.
In the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent rebellions caused by popular uprisings, as long as there was a natural disaster or a shortage of green and yellow, it led to an increase in the number of displaced people. The Xifu Metropolitan Government recruited soldiers in the disaster-stricken areas, and recruited most of the young and strong men into the forbidden army, leaving only the old, weak, sick, and disabled women and children to fend for themselves.
Now is the initial stage of the scarcity, and there should be more than 20,000 displaced people. According to the conventional ratio, there are at least 10,000 young men and women between the ages of 16 and 40.
"Let's go, let's go to the homeless village to have a look, maybe we can recruit some good soldiers, and then find some craftsmen to build the camp first."
Since the system has released the task, it is better to try to do it as early as possible, and this task is not too difficult.
Lu Zhishen is still interested in recruiting soldiers, after all, he is going to take him to the northwest to fight, and his own merits and safety on the battlefield mostly depend on the merits of his soldiers.
"Brother Xian, you must be tall and powerful when you recruit soldiers, most of the thieves are relatively burly, and short soldiers will suffer a big loss when they fight."
Lin Chong listened to Lu Zhishen's reminder and knew that in the selection of recruits in this era, size and strength are the priority hard indicators. As for the skill, weapon skills, military strategy, etc., it will be compared when the generals are selected.
In other words, as long as these soldiers are strong, not afraid of death, and obedient, no one else will care. Otherwise, the government will send all the criminals to the army, because the military camp is not a place for good people.
"Brother, don't worry, I have my own opinions."
ββDividing Lineββ
Where there are people, there is a difference between rich and poor and power, and even among the displaced people who have nothing, there is a strict hierarchy.
Here, strength and fist are equated, and everyone in the homeless village abides by this rule, even those who are oppressed at the bottom of the ladder, and they recognize this rule as fair.
Given that more than eighty percent of the displaced people live in shacks made of grass, holes in the ground or tree branches, simple shacks are like five-star hotels. Among the few dozen shacks, Chunlai Tavern is the most luxurious and attractive five-star hotel.
The solid adobe wall, two floors above and below, the upper half floor is an open-air veranda, the roof is paved with brand new grass, and you can clearly see from a distance that a large banner with the word "wine" is raised high in front of the door of the Chunlai Tavern.
The unkempt Li Qijin is eighteen years old, but he is only 1.6 meters tall, and he can't earn much money due to lack of strength, and he is the lowest level of the homeless village. The clothes and pants on his body were like rotten rags, and they also emitted a sour and unpleasant smell, and people passing by covered their mouths and noses in disgust, and even scolded.
He squatted under the tree about ten zhang or so of the Chunlai Tavern, where even if it was far away, he could still smell the faint smell of wine and meat. The hungry Li Qijin swallowed his saliva, his eyes stared at the balcony on the second floor, and there were two big men in brocade clothes who were shouting to drink wine and eat meat.
Why can they eat meat and drink wine, they will be beaten even if they get close enough to smell the taste, I just want to eat a piece of meat, God, why are you so unfair!
The two big men upstairs were probably full of food and drink, and helped each other down to the lobby.
One of them hiccups and deliberately said loudly, "Spring lady, account!" β
A lady with heavy makeup came out of the room with a smile, approached and said, "Master Ma, you can come to the shop to enjoy your face, how embarrassed to collect money." β
Ma Ye reached out and touched her buttocks, laughed proudly at the exclamation of the spring lady, stepped out of the store, and turned back to talk to another big man.
"Little Bean, there are not a few good players left in the Sanying Sect, I will destroy them tonight, and in the future, this homeless village will be my Ma Ye's territory!"
Li Qijin saw Ma Ye and Xiaodouzi going out, so he stood up and staggered head-on. His blood is swelling, his eyes are on fire, and he wants to kill Ma Ye in public.
Not far behind them, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen had just arrived, and they were looking around, and they saw the wine flags of the Chunlai Tavern, so they walked towards this side.
Lin Chong suddenly grabbed Lu Zhishen and whispered, "Look ahead, something should be happening." β
Lu Zhishen watched intently, and after many years of battlefield experience, he immediately keenly discovered a strong murderous aura, and pointed at Li Qijin and said.
"The homeless man is wrong, he can't be an assassin, right? Looking at this blatant appearance, he must be a novice, but unfortunately, he can't do this job. β
Li Qijin counted the distance, there was still a zhang away, and he took out the sharpened bone knife, which took him a whole day to sharpen.
With the sharp bone knife in his hand, Li Qijin felt that his murderous aura had increased sharply, he was a powerful knight, and he became famous all over the world by killing the bully Ma Ye.
Just like the man said, you only need to make a deep cut next to Ma Ye's neck, and everything will be fine. What kind of wine and meat, money and food, and even girls will all have, it must be true.
Seeing Li Qijin approaching Ma Ye, Xiao Douzi quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Ma Ye!" β
Ma Ye subconsciously stared back at Xiaodouzi, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Say it! β
As if he had heard an order, Li Qijin jumped up with force under his feet, and with a wave of his hand, the sharp bone knife stabbed Ma Ye's throat.
When Ma Ye heard the sudden wind, his face changed greatly, and the sense of crisis at the moment of life and death made him subconsciously lean back.
Although Li Qijin was fast enough, he lacked experience, and the bone knife only drew a non-fatal blood mark along Ma Ye's chin.
Missed!
Ma Ye turned around and took two steps back, ignoring the bloody wound on his chin. With a furious voice, he shouted loudly to the sky.
"Who wants to harm me? Come out! β
Years of experience in fighting told him that the homeless man in front of him, Li Qijin, was just a killer, and there must be other people, who were now waiting to cut off their heads.
With Li Qijin's assassination miss, Xiaodouzi's dagger also stabbed at Ma Ye's heart like a snake. As Ma Ye's right-hand man, Xiao Douzi, who ranks second in the homeless village, turned out to be the killer who assassinated Ma Ye.
