Chapter 85: Conscription

Time gradually passed, and as the Northland forces were taken over by Artis, although they brought huge and incomparable strength, they also kept him busy for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

With a large population comes a series of problems.

After all, this is not like a game in the previous life, in the real world, everyone has their own ideas and interests.

Beliefs, land, customs, migrations, all kinds of contradictions and things are waiting for Artis to reconcile, and for a while, the officials appointed and dismissed by Artis are so busy that they can hardly stop.

Under these circumstances, Artis further elaborated the rudimentary system of officials, and then issued a conscription order in various places.

For a time, in various places, countless heralds with heralds shuttled between villages and posted notices in conspicuous places in various places.

In one town, countless people were talking about a sign.

Among them, there are burly hunters in hunting suits, and there are ordinary looking farmers, but more often, there are some nobles.

After all, although the conscription order was placed here, Artis did not discriminate against the civilian class, and even welcomed the response of the commoners, but there was a huge barrier to this.

That's the issue of literacy.

Although in this world, there are truly supernatural forces circulating, and the monopoly on certain knowledge is relatively less severe than in previous lives, it is still a huge obstacle.

On average, one out of a hundred civilians is literate, not to mention the other requirements.

However, there is no problem for the aristocracy, even if it is only a side branch of the nobles, even if the ancestors are nobles, and the descendants are commoners, most of them can be literate and even learn various skills.

Moreover, the number of this part of the population is also quite large. After all, even if a family has accumulated a large number of clansmen over hundreds of years, only one of them can inherit the territory, and the rest are all side branches, or choose to do business, or choose to become vassals of other nobles, life is not necessarily bad, but most of them are not satisfactory.

And the focus of Artis's recruitment this time is also these down-and-out noble children and those who are in business.

Compared with those big nobles who have been deprived of territorial independence, these people are large in number and live in despair, so it is naturally easier to win over.

At this time, a big man wearing a broken leather armor looked at the notice in front of him, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"Recruit fifty centurions, and those who pass the audit will be sent to the royal capital for training for one month, and the excellent ones will be centurions, and they will lead a hundred people. Those who can write and are proficient in combat skills and martial arts are preferred. If you are successfully selected, you will receive 300 buckets of grain per month, and you can practice Douqi. ”

Suddenly, the big man was shocked: "The conditions are so generous?"

You must know that in this troubled era, the value of grain is very precious, 300 buckets of grain per month, 3,600 buckets a year, which is equivalent to the annual output of dozens of acres of land in the past. Even now, as the divine art of sacrifice gradually hits the streets, the yield per mu is increasing, it is still a very huge amount.

More critical than this is the last one behind him.

Being able to practice Douqi, even if it is only the most superficial Douqi, is equivalent to being able to get rid of the status of ordinary people and enter the ranks of knights, which is a temptation that is difficult to refuse for anyone in this world.

After all, even if it is a child of an aristocracy, not everyone can learn vindictiveness. The eldest son is better, if it is the second son or something, it depends on the degree of pampering. Moreover, even if he is very favored, he will definitely not hand over all the fighting qi methods to the second son and the side branches, at most there is only a little superficial cultivation method passed down, and it can only be practiced until the knight obeys.

"My ancestors were great knights, and they have passed down the skills of the family, so it shouldn't be difficult to pass that test. ”

The big man trembled and was a little excited, looking at a person standing beside him, thinking in his heart.

And in addition to this person, there are a large number of people who look at the conscription order above, and they are excited and can't control it.

In addition to the officers, there are other aspects of the conscription, such as the introduction of the duties of the tax officer, the scribe, the sheriff, and the village chief.

Although they are all positions with little power, they are still very attractive to these noble children who are usually down.

Some people may not look down on these seats, but more people are rushing to the collection point to sign up.

After registering, write down the time, and about a few days later, someone will come here to test them.

The process of testing is also very simple, if it is a low-level officer such as a ten-captain, then directly let a special knight personally test his combat effectiveness, and then let him show his combat skills, as long as it is okay, it will generally be passed.

A clerk, on the other hand, is writing a piece of copy, or answering a few superficial questions, which are all simple things.

After all, with the current conditions, Artis does not need any high-end talents, but more wants to recruit a large number of grassroots talents.

As long as the junior officers are skilled and follow military regulations, the clerks can write and be conscientious.

Speaking of which, if you just do some simple duties, you don't need those talents who have read thousands of books, you only need to have the most basic literacy, and at the same time have action and execution.

After the recruitment is completed, these people will be gathered in the newly built royal capital, where they will be trained for half a month to a month, and then sent to various places to serve as grassroots officials.

After a while, when the people who rushed to the royal capital from all over the world saw this newly built city, everyone couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

The kings were newly built, and they had been planned since the time when Artis was crowned king, and it took more than a year to build an inner city with the assistance of many sacrificial gods, which was named Ardis as the city of Ardis.

Compared to other cities, the city of Adili is a little smaller, but also small, and its walls are so strong that it is almost impossible to imagine that it is just a planned inner city.

In the city, there are green trees and various seasonal flowers, which are planned to be neat and beautiful, and completely combine a neat and tidy natural atmosphere with the city.

At the city gate, there are knights and priests guarding the gate, and the fighting spirit and divine power on their bodies are faintly surging, making people dare not look directly.

Moreover, because the church in the city has been established and perfected, with a high priest presiding over it, and this city full of believers, a powerful divine domain has suddenly been formed, and there is a faint sense of purity, which was not found in the city-states of the past.

"This, so clean and tidy, even in the manories of the great nobles, is it like this. ”

Seeing this scene, these noble children who were recruited from various regions couldn't help but be stunned and stunned by the scene in front of them.

There are many other places that surprise them.

Because some of the use of magic has matured, the city is full of traces of magic, and because they are all believers in the gods of nature, a lot of plants and trees have been planted in the city, but they do not look cluttered at all, and the pure and fresh atmosphere is permeated, almost making people think that they have come to a beautiful forest.

"How?"

Seeing the surprise on the faces of the people behind him, the priest who led the way in front said proudly, which immediately attracted a burst of boasting behind him.

But among them, there was a burly man wearing tattered leather armor with a hesitant face, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "It's just arranged like this, if there is a fire in the city in the future, and even someone deliberately burns it with fire, will it be easy to burn the city down?"

When he said this, behind him, several people hurriedly took his hand and motioned for him not to speak.

However, opposite him, the leader of the team did not show displeasure, but nodded appreciatively.

"You have a point, but in a normal setting, such a city is indeed vulnerable to fire. ”

But when he said this, he smiled again: "But for us, this kind of worry is unnecessary. ”

He raised his hand, and the divine power in his body was faintly condensed, and the water elements around him were continuously dragged in, turning into little droplets.

"Our Lord God of Nature has mastered the vicissitudes of nature, and nature has mastered water and fire, so it is not difficult for us to prevent this. ”

He looked at each other with admiration in his eyes: "However, you can see that these are also very good, what's the name?"

"My name is Ogding. ”

The man hurriedly gave a salute, with a faint joy in his heart.

"Well, follow me!" the priest nodded, and continued to lead them onward.

Behind him, countless people saw this scene, most of them had a trace of jealousy in their eyes, and they knew in their hearts that the other party had been remembered in their hearts, and as long as it was suitable, they would inevitably have preferential treatment.

But there is nothing they can do about it, in the end, they are actually still in competition, and they are being stared at at this time. I can only secretly make up my mind in my heart that I want to perform well in the future.

Walk through the gates and come to the front.

At this time, because the construction had just been completed, the streets in the city were not densely populated, and sparse crowds were lined up in the city.

Walking through the streets, they eventually came to a large camp.

When they arrived, the priest who led the team asked them to stop at the periphery and went to greet the priest who was guarding the door.

"Fifty officers, and the rest of the one hundred and seventy, are from Kurumba. ”

In front of him, a young-looking scribe nodded slightly, and then asked these people to step forward one by one and ask them to write down their names, places of origin and other information one by one.

After the writing was finished, the priest stepped forward to see that on it, Ogding's name was prominently listed.

He nodded slightly, then picked up a quill made of feathers, hesitated for a moment, and then ticked off the names of Ogding and the others.

That's where special attention comes in. As the commander who leads the team to collect, he has the right to recommend people. It doesn't guarantee anything, but it also makes people pay more attention to it, and that's enough.

However, as his marking was completed, in the dark, in the surroundings, a faint purple qi was gradually rising, with a trace of the power of destiny that escaped around it, permeating it.
