This era needs mercenaries, and the tasks of mercenaries have also expanded from the original single combat mission to diversification and orientation to all walks of life.

The owners of high-end restaurants need mercenaries to go deep into the barren mountains and mountains that ordinary people dare not go into, looking for those precious ingredients, and the rich need to hire bodyguards.

Of course, for most of the low-ranking mercenaries, they were engaged in the promising profession of the era, farmers.

With the strong demand for all kinds of ingredients in the city, farmers are no longer a humble name, and farmers in the cities need to study in professional colleges for several years, fully grasp the growth habits of crops, and maximize the planting potential of each piece of farmland.

In addition to wages, the most enviable thing for farmers is the rationing of agricultural products, those small white-collar workers who work in the company don't see through a serious book, but there is no oil and water in their stomachs like everyone else, and the endless black steamed buns from morning to night every day can't even see green vegetables.

The better the farmers take care of the farmland, the more agricultural products they can receive, although it is not as much fish and meat, at least the rice growers eat white rice once a week, and those who engage in farming cook a bowl of broth to let children replenish their bodies, which is still a very common thing.

As for the peasants that Ye Chuan was looking for in the Mercenary Alliance, they were not ordinary peasants, but a group of militants living in the wild.

The mercenary system is a major feature of this era, after all, the city government does not have the money to feed so many troops, and the task of civilian armed forces also needs the strength of the people themselves.

A large number of mercenaries is not without benefits for the city, and in the event of war, a large number of civilian armed forces can be temporarily hired to make up for the disadvantage of insufficient troops.

It is not difficult to become a mercenary, as long as you have some genetic strength and a set of capsule armor, you can register in the alliance regardless of whether you have professional training or not, and pay a little membership fee every year, you can be considered a member of the mercenary alliance.

As the number of mercenaries increases, but the tasks they receive are getting fewer and fewer, those mercenaries who are relatively low level and can't survive see that they will starve to death if they have no income, so let's just go to farm outside the city!

After leaving the city, there is land outside that can be cultivated, as long as you are not afraid of being tired or dying, you can also eat as an armed peasant.

As a result, a large number of low-level mercenaries set up armed farms outside the city, everyone wore armor to farm, and after finishing their farm work, they had to patrol the vicinity, and once the mutant beasts attacked the farm, they had to take up arms to fight.

Although life in the wild is difficult, it is better than starving to death in the city.

Assuming good luck, the farm successfully harvests a few seasons of grain and sells it in the city, so that the whole family can buy a small house and live a well-fed and clothed life for two years.

It is also thanks to these armed peasants who have opened up farms outside the city as if they were desperate, although everyone has lived very hard in these years, but at least they have survived, no matter how low the income is, there are two mouthfuls of black steamed buns to eat, and the tragedy of starvation to death or cannibalism is rarely heard of nowadays.

What Ye Chuan is looking for is these armed farmers, who are more courageous, and are no longer satisfied with the income from farming on the farm, and have turned into armed hunters, and the price of buying things from them is cheaper than buying them directly from the shopping mall.

The trading hall was full of expensive high-grade items, and Ye Chuan had no money to enter the hall, so he had to try his luck outside the door, in the hands of those armed farmers who were selling piecemeal.

Today, there are a large number of armed farmers who come into the city from outside to trade, Ye Chuan took a casual look, there are really a lot of good things, not to mention the grain, what is more attractive is some game.

A fat hare weighing five pounds was soon bought by the owner of a high-end restaurant for 3,000 yuan, and after processing and cooking, the rabbit more than tripled in value.

Lighting a cigarette, Ye Chuan was about to continue to turn around, when the man who sold rabbits suddenly said to Ye Chuan: "Little brother, borrow a cigarette to smoke." ”

Ye Chuan smiled, took out a phoenix card and handed it to the man, and handed him the match, and said, "As long as you don't choke too much." ”

Ye Chuan's cigarettes are indeed not good cigarettes, a thin one, not even a filter, no matter how you look at the tobacco inside, it looks like a withered yellow leaf in autumn, and there is a pungent and spicy taste after being lit.

The thick-eyed man took a deep puff and said with a smile: "In the past, every time I hit some valuable prey, I would buy myself a few boxes of good cigarettes to treat, but now I am reluctant, my wife and children have a large family to feed, the Phoenix brand is very good, only four yuan a box, and even a little better will cost more than a dozen yuan, and I can buy a lot of black potatoes." ”

Ye Chuan half-jokingly said: "My wife and children are not only available today, besides, your rabbit can be sold for 3,000 yuan, not to mention three yuan a pound of black potatoes, that is, fourteen yuan a pound of white noodles, and fifteen yuan a pound of rice, which is enough for your family to eat for half a year." ”

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes shook his head, "My wife and children are really recent, because I picked them up, originally I was full of food and the whole family was not hungry, what I did was this life-saving business, people were hanging upwards and had nothing to worry about." ”

"It's a pity that I met a woman in the forest later, she was really hungry in the city, and she dragged her two children to the wild to find food, and her life was quite big, but she was not torn apart by the mutant beast."

"At first, I thought she was very pitiful, and threw two black potatoes to her, but the woman didn't eat them, they gave them to their children, and the two children were also miserable, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and after eating the potatoes, she pulled my clothes, with tears in her eyes, and she didn't speak, and then the woman knelt down at me."

"I can't see this, how can anyone marry a daughter-in-law in these years? Out of this area, how many women want for a dollar, this girl is not beautiful, and she also carries two drag oil bottles, which is a trouble at first glance. ”

"I gritted my teeth and left, but their mother followed me all the way back to the village, no acquaintance led outsiders to enter the village, the girls squatted outside the fence with the child and waited, the people in the village let them go, they didn't go, they just cried."

"At night, I tossed and turned in my hut and couldn't sleep, thinking about how the girl outside with her two children could live in the wilderness?"

"I really can't bear it, so I opened the door and took this lady into the village, and I was ruthless for so long, but I didn't expect that in the end, I Xin Lao Wu was still confused, and I accidentally became a family."

Ye Chuan sighed softly, now that life is difficult, it is lucky that the lady can meet a kind person like Xin Lao Wu, even if someone robs and kills him in the wilderness, it is a very common thing, almost half of the people who go outside the city because they can't eat enough every year can't come back.

"Fifth brother, it's not too early, why don't you go back quickly after selling the money? The women and children of the province of the family are worried. "A cigarette made Ye Chuan and Xin Lao Wu familiar, I don't have to ask Ye Chuan to call him Fifth Brother, in fact, according to his age, Ye Chuan should call him Fifth Uncle.

Xin Lao Wu smiled mysteriously, took out a storage capsule from his arms and said: "There is a good thing in it, when I sell it, I can scrape together enough money to buy a new set of genetic armor and then leave, the old one is no longer usable, and it is really torn apart by the mutant beast." ”
