Chapter 8: The Rebels

Barren Mountain Village.

Many villagers stopped at the head of the village, looking at the pile of beast corpses at the head of the village with slightly fiery eyes.

"There are so many beast corpses, how many beasts have the village elder killed!"

"yes, that's too strong! Those mud soldiers, they don't look strong yet, I didn't expect them to be so strong! ”

"The soldiers under the command of the village chief are strong, this is a good thing! It can keep us safe! Now we finally don't have to worry about being afraid! ”

"Yes, the village chief deserves to be the head of the first village in the world......"

……

"Ding, congratulations to the player for convincing the homeless people (villagers) with their actions, the hearts of the villagers in the barren mountains have increased greatly, the public security has increased by a medium margin, and the loyalty of the villagers has increased slightly! The efficiency of administration and construction has been slightly improved. ”

On the way back to the village, the system prompt sound that suddenly sounded in Xiao Jing's mind made him a little confused.

But if he doesn't understand, he won't be entangled, after all, it's a good thing!

"Village Chief!!"

At the entrance of the village, Guo Yun saw Xiao Jing leading the figurines back with a large number of beast corpses, and hurriedly greeted him.

Throw the boar on your back on the ground.

Immediately a villager came up to meet them, and they worked together to move the corpses to the newly built warehouse in the village.

The carcasses of these beasts were the rations of the entire village when the fertile fields of the village had just been reclaimed and the grain had not yet been produced, so for this reason, Xiao Jing specially ordered Guo Yun to send people to build a warehouse for storing grain in the village before leaving, specifically to store grain.

Xiao Jing asked casually, "How is the village today, there shouldn't be anything wrong!" ”

Guo Yun hurriedly responded.

"The village is fine, but a group of displaced people have come......"

As he spoke, Guo Yun's tone was a little hesitant.

"Huh? Is there a problem with this homeless person? ”

"The existence of those terracotta warriors left behind by the village chief has not caused much trouble, but the leader of the displaced people is a little rebellious and clamoring to see the village elder."

"Hmm!!" Xiao Jing's brows furrowed slightly.

"Thorns?!"

This thought flashed through his mind, but his mouth said, "Where is the leader of the exiles?" I'm going to be what a hero! ”

"Please lead the way!"

When Guo Yun heard this, he hesitated, but still walked in front and took Xiao Jing to the thatched house that had just been built in the south of the village.

Due to the lack of manpower in the village, the population is only 200, some of them are cultivated, and some of them are warehouses, so the new arrivals can only live in grass huts and greenhouses temporarily.

Under the greenhouse, the newcomers arrived in twos and threes, and when they saw Xiao Jing and his party, especially feeling the killing intention of the soldiers behind him, his face showed a trace of panic, and his eyes unconsciously shifted to the big man with a knife in front of him, who was half lying on the ground.

"Brother Zhou! They ......," a homeless man reminded in a low voice.

The strong man with the knife heard the words of his fellow countrymen, his face was a little impatient, he waved his hand, and signaled a 'everything is wrapped in me' action.

"You're the leader of the outcasts?"

Xiao Jing asked, but his heart was secretly vigilant.

Just because from this strong man, he felt a strong pressure.

That's a crushing from the strength side!

"That's right, I am!"

The strong man got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, felt the big knife on the ground, and put it on his back.

He glanced Xiao Jing up and down, and a smile appeared on his face, which was full of flesh and looked a little vicious.

"You are the head of the first village in the world?"

"That's right! Don't know the strong man? Xiao Jing's heart moved, and he replied.

Hearing Xiao Jing's confirmed words, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face, and he muttered in a low voice:

"I said, what kind of god is the head of the first village in the world? But I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary person! This strength is also poor. ”

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, the strong man's voice was indeed a little loud, and this series of muttering sounds, without falling in the slightest, reached Xiao Jing's ears.

Xiao Jing's head was full of black lines, but he was not angry but happy in his heart.

Although what this strong man said is a little unpleasant, it is true, with his current strength, he may be able to dominate among players, but it is definitely not enough to look at it among the aborigines.

Moreover, this strong man is full of oppression at a glance, and his strength must be super strong, according to the normal situation, it is very likely that people will not look down on his shabby village at all, and there is no way to talk about solicitation.

But what he didn't expect was that I don't know if his 'number one in the world' characteristics played a role, this strong man actually heard of his reputation and gave him a chance to recruit.

"Me?! You can call me Zhou Cang! ”

"Zhou Cang ?!!!"

It was the Zhou Cang he knew?!!

At this moment, Xiao Jing's pupils shrank sharply, and an ecstasy rose in his heart!

But soon, Xiao Jing calmed down.

Although this strong man is very likely to be the historical military general 'Zhou Cang', with his current capital, what basis does he have to recruit people?

Just this dilapidated village, or those low-strength soldiers?

Don't laugh, people don't look down on it at all.

Perhaps it is still possible to expose the golden 'Wind Cavalry' in the village and the 'Ancient Qin Secret Realm', which is a pre-Qin ruin.

But as far as Xiao Jing's cautious character is concerned, even if Zhou Cang is very loyal in history, he doesn't know people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart, and he is unwilling to take this risk.

"It seems that the only way to make an idea is to make an idea from the point of fame!"

"But I just observed that Zhou Cang seems to care about these homeless people, I don't know if I can make a fuss from here......"

Thoughts were tumbling in his mind, and soon Xiao Jing's face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Zhou Zhuangshi, I don't know why the strong man came to my village?"

Zhou Cang touched his head, looked at the hope in the eyes of the homeless people behind him, and said a little embarrassed.

"There is a terrible drought in our village, and the official is urging the grain to be tight, so we have to leave!"

"I heard that there is a village in the world around here, and I and my villagers thought about it, so they thought about coming over and running to it."

"But ......"

As he spoke, Zhou Cang paused and glanced at the extremely simple village in the village.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the disappointment in his tone was palpable.

Hearing this, Xiao Jing explained with a smile on his face.

"Zhou Zhuangshi, my village has just been established, so it seems a little shabby, and I neglect you."

After a pause, he changed his tone and continued, "However, I believe that as long as time is given, the village will definitely develop. ”

"Moreover, Zhou Zhuangshi, don't you know, although my village has just been established, there is a large plain behind the village, which can at least reclaim 10,000 acres of fertile land, and these fertile fields will be distributed to those who have contributed to the village in the future. Now to join the village, although it is hard, but there are many opportunities for meritorious service, when the time comes, you can make some merit, then it is not a lot of land appreciation, earn a family heirloom. ”

Xiao Jing's tone was full of temptation, and he said leisurely.

He believed that in this ancient society, no commoner could endure the temptation of 'dividing the land'.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Jing's words came out, not only the eyes of the homeless people behind Zhou Cang lit up, but even the faces of Guo Yun and Li Ye, the first batch of villagers who joined Barren Mountain Village, were also full of emotion.

"Village Chief, you, what you said is true?"

Immediately, there was a first-class citizen behind Zhou Cang who asked in a trembling tone.

Xiao Jing nodded solemnly and said sonorously: "Tong Su is not bullied!" ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Cang, who was thoughtful on the side, and said with a smile.

"At present, the village is in ruins, I hope everyone can join the village and build a beautiful home together!"

"Zhou Zhuangshi, I don't know what you think?"

"This, I want to think about it......" Zhou Cang hesitated with a little hesitation on his face.

However, his hesitation was very bad for the homeless people behind him.

Immediately, there was a homeless road:

"Zhou Wazi, what else are you considering? How can it be so good anywhere else? Those officials can't wait to keep all the land in their own pockets, how can there be such a good official as Lord Xiao? ”

"Yes, yes, we know that you have the ability to join the army and glorify your ancestors, but we are just mud legs, how can those big clans look down on us!"

……

The villagers' persuasive words made Zhou Cang's face even more hesitant, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing this, Xiao Jing hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot.

"Zhou Zhuangshi, I promise, as long as you join the village, you will be the commander, and the army in the village will be under your control."

Looking at the sincerity of Xiao Jing's face, and then at the eagerness of the villagers behind him, Zhou Cang sighed in his heart and arched his hand.

"Village elder, I will follow you in the future, and I hope that the village chief will treat my villagers well!"
