23. Militia

Chu Shi and Chu Mu also planned to take advantage of the bandits' defeat and wanted to go to Niujiao Mountain to rob the bandits in turn.

If you want to kill the sky, there must be a lot of treasures hidden in Niujiao Mountain

However, Chu He thought that he was not familiar with the situation of Niujiao Mountain, and there were not enough manpower, and the bandits occupied favorable terrain, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get much benefit from it, so he rejected Chu Mu and Chu Shi's proposal.

After Wuqing Township, it is Changding Township, which is also the land of the Chu River.

There are also strong bandits in Changding Township, but they generally do not rob the people of their hometown, after all, the eighteen villages of Changding Township are basically married to each other, and the relationship is complicated.

If you find out that there are nephews of the second uncle, brother-in-law of the third uncle, or relatives and friends like your cousin and cousin in the robbery team, it will be very embarrassing.

Although there are many contradictions in the eighteen villages, such as grabbing hunting land and competing for water sources, unless it is a major event related to the survival of the village, such as Hujiazhuang's counting of all the quotas for Ding service to Qinghe Village, otherwise the eighteen villages in Changding Township will not really be a big war that tears their faces.

This gang of bandits in Niujiaoshan is notorious in Changding Township and Wuqing Township.

Now that the bandits in Niujiaoshan have been completely defeated by Chu He and his party, the escaped bandits and the spies of other bandits have spread the news, even if there are really bandits in Changding Township who covet Chu River, they have to weigh the strength in their hands.

Therefore, the last twenty or thirty miles were unusually calm and smooth.

Back in Qinghe Village, Chu Shi and Chu Mu said goodbye and left.

The two of them soon became volunteer propagandists for the Chu River.

The matter of Chu He single-handedly killing the three bandits spread in Qinghe Village in less than a day, and curious villagers continued to come to visit Chu Zhenhai's family, of course, mainly to see the young prodigy in Chu Shi Chumu's mouth.

After all, Chu He's performance in the village was very average in the past, and many people didn't believe Chu Mu Chu Shi's words.

Chu He didn't want to be in the limelight, but under the supervision of his grandfather's stern gaze, he also had to show his means a little, which amazed the villagers.

Overnight, the name of Chu River became loud.

Chu He left a small part of the rice, food, clothing and cloth he bought, and most of it was distributed to the villagers, and those families who were living in difficulty received more, and Chu He's fame became even louder.

Even the villagers in the next village knew the righteousness and boldness of Chu He, a young prodigy.

Rich and easy to do, Chu He took out twenty taels of silver, dozens of young people were busy with their hands and feet, and in less than half a month, Chu He's house was demolished and rebuilt into a bluestone house.

The mansion is five or six hundred square meters, with ten houses and a two-hundred-square-meter martial arts training yard, surrounded by green forests and small streams, and has a beautiful environment.

Jiang Wei and his mother's house was also built, next to Chu He's house, it was also a bluestone house, which was paid by Chu He, which made Jiang Wei and Jiang Mu very embarrassed.

Under his strong request, the house that was finally built was only about 100 square meters, but it was also quite magnificent in Qinghe Village.

Chu He planned to take some money to repair his grandfather's house, but Chu Zhenhai refused, just asking Chu He to keep the money to develop his power.

Despite this, Chu He still divided the eldest uncle and the third uncle with ten taels of silver, and the second uncle who went out with him was twenty taels and let them use it for themselves.

The money was used out in a mess, plus the one hundred taels for the uncle, and the four hundred and fifty taels of silver that Chu He got from selling his sword, and now there are more than one hundred taels left, which also includes more than a dozen taels of silver given by the bandits of Niujiaoshan.

Of the more than 100 taels of silver, Chu He took out 30 taels of his parents and saved them, leaving 80 taels for himself, and while building a house, he began to recruit militia.

The silver of the white flower is the best signboard.

The requirements for the members of the Chu River Conservation Village Team and the Hunting Team are also simple.

First, be between 12 and 45 years old.

Originally, Chu He was asking for more than fifteen and less than forty, but there was too much opposition in the village, so Chu He had to relax the age requirement.

Second, it can lift a stone lock of 200 catties and walk 100 steps.

Third, within the time of two pillars of incense, run around Qinghe Village.

These three conditions are not strict, but without a certain physique and physical fitness, it is impossible to enter the village protection team and hunting team.

The young Zhuang in the village listened to the propaganda of Chumu and Chushi, knew that Chu He was arrogant, and casually guarded the ox cart, and took two taels of silver and one tael of silver when he was injured, and he did not doubt the promise of two thousand yuan a month, and he was extremely enthusiastic to participate in the village protection team and hunting team.

There were even little ones who were 10 or 11 years old, saying that they were already 12 years old, and asked to take the test.

Of course, there are some problems, although some of the village thorns are willing to participate in the village protection team and hunting team, they do not agree with Chu He to be the captain, even if the money and silver for forming the township protection team and hunting team are from Chu He.

Chu He didn't say much, and after trying to compete with them, the thorns were completely convinced, so that Chu He's recruitment work went smoothly.

Chu He's way to convince them was very simple, that is, he stood there and let the prickly young man attack him with his fists and feet.

Under the protection of the Golden Bell Jar, these young and strong thorns really can't help the Chu River, let alone the key points where they are embarrassed to hit the Chu River.

People Chu He just stood still and beat them, they couldn't beat Chu He, how could they not be convinced by Chu He!

It is not easy for Chu He to easily convince them, after all, many of these thorns in the village are strong and strong, and even have a little kung fu at hand, most of them are more powerful than the strong bandits killed by Chu He.

However, Chuhe has a golden bell jar to hold an artifact, and things are much simpler.

The thorny young man naturally didn't know that the golden bell jar of the Chu River was the most afraid of fists and feet.

Qingzhuang came to ask for advice, just to add a little proficiency to Chu He's golden bell jar.

The settling-in fee of 500 wen per person allowed Chu He to successfully recruit 150 young people, spending a total of 75 taels of silver, and the silver in Chu He's hand was also spent.

The township protection team is naturally led by Chu He, and Jiang Wei is appointed as the head coach of the hunting team and the village protection team.

I have to say that the physical fitness of the people here is really too strong, and it is estimated that few people on earth can do such a requirement for conscription militiamen, but in Qinghe Village, there is no problem with 90% of the young and strong.

There were even a few ten-year-old and eleven-year-old little ones who passed the test, and were finally expelled from the team after being asked by Chu He to clarify their age.

Of course, Chu He, such a good seedling, will definitely not let go, and promises to let them join the village protection team and hunting team when they reach the age of twelve, and these yelling little ones will not stop.

Chu He secretly wrote down the names of these children, and planned to send them to the Shangwu Academy to practice martial arts after inspecting them.

Chu He originally planned to give Jiang Wei a salary of five taels of silver a month, but Jiang Wei did not agree, and Chu He had no choice but to give up.

Everything seems to be going extremely well, under the dual effect of force and money, Chu He's prestige has been completely erected, and among the young and strong, there are even faint signs of suppressing Chu Zhenhai, who is the leader of the younger generation in Qinghe Village.

The Chu blacksmith got 500 catties of iron from Chu He, and he was busy day and night, feeling that he couldn't be busy, so he asked people to bring a letter and find three men who didn't know what their origin was for help.

Chu He was originally afraid that these outsiders would reveal the secrets of steelmaking, but Chu Blacksmith patted his chest and assured that the three foreign men also swore a poisonous oath, and Chu He was relieved.

The people here swear, unlike the earthlings who can forget when they turn their heads, and many people would even rather sacrifice their lives than break their oaths easily.

But just in case, Chu He still called his grandfather Chu Zhenhai, and added three foreign men to the village tree of Qinghe Village, and asked them to bring their parents and children over and really settle in Qinghe Village.

With the help of three men who are good at striking iron, the speed of building weapons on the Chu blacksmith's side has increased dramatically.

I beg you brothers to support the cool water, this time it will definitely not be too much of a prisoner, no matter how miserable it is, I ask you to collect and recommend, if it is a cool water eunuch, broadcast live in public, screenshot as proof!
