On the way, Li Qifeng explained to Ye Xing about organizing the new army of city guards.

It turned out that Donghai County already had a city guard army of 2,000 people, which was also led by two disciples of the Qingyun Sect who were the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow, and were mainly responsible for the security of Donghai County and cracking down on illegal acts.

But it is also scattered in all the key places in the county, and the strength of only a few hundred people in Donghai City is seriously insufficient.

And the city guards themselves are only civilians, and their capabilities are limited.

Recently, there have been signs that many forces are on the move, and the Tokai county town is clearly understaffed, so it is necessary to form a new army to act as a mobile force.

This time, the city guard recruited people with a foundation in martial arts, and the main thing was to train the backbone, and if anything happened in the future, they would expand the recruitment of civilians.

With these people as the core, you can immediately get thousands of new soldiers, that is, as a precaution.

Donghai County is one of the 4 counties controlled by the Qingyun Sect, and it is also the only large county along the coast, which is very important to the Qingyun Sect! It's just that Donghai County is far away from the sect, a little too far.

After a while, the sect will send more outer disciples to the East China Sea, and even send inner disciples to assist, the purpose of which is of course to defend the most important jurisdiction of the sect.

The upper echelons of the Qingyun Sect had a hunch that something would happen, but the headquarters of the Qingyun Sect was far away in the north, tens of thousands of miles apart, which was really inconvenient.

Moreover, the main force of the Qingyun Sect was also contained in the north, and there was no extra force to garrison here.

There are millions of people in Donghai County, with a radius of thousands of miles, no matter what, there is only one congenital fourth-layer Li Xuantong to guard;

Li Xuantong led several acquired masters of the Qingyun Sect at the seventh or eighth level of the day after tomorrow, as well as the 2,000 city guards composed of civilians, which was far from enough, everything had to be prepared.

Qingyun Sect deliberately recruited city guards in the East China Sea, instead of sending people from the sect, mainly because they were not able to do it, and the locals loved their hometown more, so they would have more combat effectiveness.

The two took their luggage from the inn, returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and arranged a place for Ye Xing to stay.

Li Qifeng and Ye Xing came to see City Lord Li again.

City Lord Li took out a book and gave it to Ye Xing:

"This is the wood sword technique that I majored in before, you practice it, your qualification is mainly based on water spirit roots, you should have the realm of the second day after tomorrow, first cultivate the water system exercises given by Master Lin."

"You also have a wood spirit root, refer to it and practice it, and advance as soon as possible!"

City Lord Li turned his head to Li Qifeng and said, "You are the seventh day after tomorrow in the fire system, you can also guide your Senior Brother Ye!" ”

He turned his head to Ye Xing and said, "What exercises are not the most important, the core is your comprehension ability, and learning and thinking more is the best way."

Ye Xing hurriedly said yes!

City Lord Li took out another token and gave it to Li Qifeng:

"You're in the North Campus in three days, receiving recruits! Start practicing now and get it done as soon as possible! We must be strict and must become a powerful new army! ”

Li Qifeng took the token, "Yes, Uncle Shi!" ”

The city lord Li also gave them 50,000 taels of silver tickets as the cost of training the new army, and sent 20 city lord's palace guards as their temporary assistants.

Ye Xing accompanied his master Li City Lord and Elder Lin to lunch, and Li Qifeng, as well as the two commanders of the county city guards, also came to accompany him.

One is called Guo Song, and the other is called Pan Changqing, both of whom are outer disciples of Qingyun Sect, and they are all at the level of the eighth or ninth layer of the day after tomorrow.

As for the other two people who passed the assessment yesterday with spiritual roots, they are all third-grade single spiritual roots, and they have already gone home to prepare, and they will follow Elder Lin back to the sect headquarters far north the day after tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Ye Xing and Li Qifeng took 20 guards from the City Lord's Mansion to the North School Field, and the first avenue outside the north gate of Donghai City came to a vacant lot 10 miles away.

A very small island surrounded by water on three sides, dozens of wooden and grass houses are built around the island, which is very neat, and there is a large flat land in the middle.

Ye Xing and Li Qifeng chose a large room in the middle as their office space, which is also their temporary residence.

This place, which the City Lord's Mansion had prepared some time ago, was the training camp for recruits.

The two of them carefully inspected the entire barracks, and were satisfied with the situation, because it was basically new, and the beds and the like were sturdy.

Ye Xing asked the guards to take the paint and write the room number next to the door of each barracks and the number next to each bed.

He also asked the guards to take the city lord's order and go to the city to invite the owners of three large restaurants to come over, and ordered the three restaurants to contract a canteen here.

Each kitchen uses one grass room as the kitchen, and each kitchen prepares three meals for 100 people.

Ye Xing asked them to try it for a month first, all of which were at a high price, and after a month, they would leave the last two, and then introduce a third one, all of which were at the highest price, and asked them to start preparing tomorrow.

Ye Xing invited all the craftsmen in the city to immediately start building 30 small houses on stilts as thatched houses in the places where the water is rushing by the river, with holes in the wooden planks, and the water flow below directly washes away the excrement, and the thatched houses are also equipped with a large amount of straw paper.

This practice surprised everyone, because they had never heard of such a hygienic and safe thatched house.

In the past, it was convenient to solve it directly in the woods, which was unhygienic and unsafe.

Because there may be small beasts such as snakes in the woods, they dare not go at night when they are timid.

Let the carpenter tear down the doors of the barracks, and order 40 large wooden barrels with lids, and put them in front of the barracks doors for drinking water;

And he made more than 300 small wooden plates, and engraved them with numbers, and placed one under each bed, for the new recruits to bathe and wash, and deliver them to them tomorrow morning.

Ye Xing went to the city again and asked the blacksmith to start making 400 large iron bowls and steel spoons immediately, which were also engraved with numbers and sent them tomorrow.

Ye Xing demanded that all these tasks must be completed within one day, and they must be completed in detail until what hour, and they must be checked in person.

That night, the two of them and a group of guards stayed in this barracks and discussed the details together.

Such as arranging accommodation, meals, selecting captains, training details, etc., and Ye Xing wrote down the results of various discussions on paper.

Li Qifeng was very happy and said happily:

"Senior Brother Ye, you are young, sober-minded, organized, and powerful! The handwriting is so good, the words of the famous calligrapher! ”

Ye Xing said humbly, "Senior Brother Li has won the award!" I'm a weak scholar, and writing is my only strength! ”

Li Qifeng said: "I have been immersed in cultivation in the sect, and I don't know anything about foreign affairs, fortunately, I have Senior Brother Ye to help me, otherwise I will definitely not be able to do this!" ”

The two were busy until late at night, before they thought everything through, and then they slept peacefully.

What Ye Xing must do every day is to cultivate, this is by the river, and the water aura is much richer than in the city, which is also suitable.

Although he was very tired, his cultivation could make Ye Xing recover faster, especially when the starlight shone on his body, a trace of coldness flowed into his brain, which quickly made his brain extremely refreshed and his spirit quickly full.

It was already dawn, and the two of them and the guards ate the breakfast sent by the City Lord's Mansion, and everything had been delivered, and they were ready to start work.

Ye Xing asked the soldiers to take the list of various contents, check and check them one by one.

Each of the three restaurants sent a few to prepare all the kitchen equipment, as well as a lot of coal and dry firewood.

At noon, each family also made a meal for twenty people, and Ye Xing Li Qifeng and 20 city guards tried the taste.

Ye Xing was quite satisfied, and asked each family to withdraw 1,000 taels in the barracks as start-up funds.

Ye Xing's requirements are very high, delicious, sufficient, and it must be the standard of one person and one or two silver a day to equip the food, this is definitely the top food, and those active city guards definitely do not have such treatment.

Ye Xing stated that if he failed to meet the requirements, he would punish the restaurant for violating military discipline, and if he met the requirements, he would let them contract the food of the military camp at a good price for a long time.

Ye Xing explained the reason to Li Qifeng, this is to train professional soldiers, and the only task of soldiers in the barracks is training, and soldiers cannot be sent to do chores.

All soldiers who come must become professional soldiers, and use this as the backbone in order to have combat effectiveness in the future.

Li Qifeng thought it was true, he had to go out to do tasks in the sect many times, saying that it was practical training, but in fact, he wasted a lot of time, and he couldn't devote himself to cultivation at all, so he advanced slowly.

Of course, if it is those core disciples, there is no need to do any sect tasks.

This time he was training the city guards, which was also his sect's task, and in essence, it was also for him to be distracted from chores, but he had no choice but to refuse.

Relatively speaking, it is much better here than going to the deep mountains and old forests to collect all kinds of cultivation materials.

Ye Xing asked the guards to go to the city to buy a lot of hand towels and quilts, and asked each one to be embroidered with a number.

Before going to bed, the two of them checked it again in detail, and then they really lay down and didn't say anything all night.

It was dawn, a simple breakfast, 10 guards with spears in hand, scattered everywhere, and 10 assisted two people to deal with the report of the new army.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of new recruits.
