23. Militia

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

I think there must be a lot of money hidden in Niujiao Mountain.

However, Chu He thought that he was not familiar with Niujiao Mountain and did not have enough manpower. The bandits occupied the favorable terrain. He was afraid that he would not get much benefit, so he refused Chu Mu and Chu Shi's proposal.

After passing Wuqing Township, it is Changding Township, which is also considered the land of Chuhe.

There are also bandits in Changding Township, but they generally do not rob people from their hometowns. After all, the Eighteen Villages in Changding Township are basically connected with each other and have complex relationships.

If you only find that the robbery is the nephew of the second uncle, the third uncle's uncle's uncle, or meet relatives and friends like your cousin, it would be embarrassing.

Although there are many conflicts in the 18 villages, including snatching hunting territory and fighting for water sources, unless it is a major event that concerns the survival of the village, such as Hujiazhuang counting all the quotas of Dingmao to Qinghe Village, the 18 villages in Changding Township will not be a big battle torn apart.

This group of bandits in Niujiao Mountain is notorious in Changding Township and Wuqing Township.

Now the Niujiao Mountain bandits were completely defeated by Chu He and his group. The fleeing bandits and other bandit spies spread the news. Even if there are really bandits in Changding Township coveting Chu He's things, they have to consider the power in their hands.

Therefore, the last twenty or thirty miles was extremely peaceful and smooth.

When he returned to Qinghe Village, Chu Shi and Chu Mu said goodbye and left.

The two of them soon became Chu He's voluntary propagandists.

The incident of Chu He fighting and killing three bandits alone spread in Qinghe Village within one day. Curious villagers kept coming to visit Chu Zhenhai's family, of course, mainly to see the young prodigy mentioned by Chu Shi and Chu Mu.

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

Chu He didn't want to show off at first, but under the stern gaze of his grandfather, he had to show his own methods slightly, which made the villagers amazed.

Overnight, Chu He's name became louder.

Chu He left a small part of the rice, food, clothing and cloth he bought, and most of them were distributed to the villagers. Those families with difficulties in life shared more, and Chu He's reputation became even more famous.

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

It is easy to do things with money. Chu He took out twenty taels of silver and dozens of young and strong men started working hard. In less than half a month, he demolished the Chu He family and rebuilt it into the Qingshi house.

The mansion is 500 to 600 square meters, with ten houses and a martial arts yard of more than 200 square meters. It is surrounded by green trees and shaded streams, and the environment is beautiful.

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

Under his strong request, the house built in the end was only about one hundred square meters, but it was also quite grand in Qinghe Village.

Chu He planned to give some money to repair the house for his grandfather, but Chu Zhenhai refused and just asked Chu He to keep the money to develop his power.

Despite this, Chu He still divided the eldest uncle, one of the third uncle and one of them had ten taels of silver, and the second uncle who followed him was twenty taels, so they could watch it for themselves.

The money was used up in a mess, plus the 100 taels of contact with my uncle, Chu He got 450 taels of silver from selling his sword, but now there are only more than 100 taels of silver left, including the dozen taels of silver given by the bandits in Niujiao Mountain.

Chu He took out thirty taels of silver for his parents and kept them for eighty taels. While building the house, he began to recruit militias.

White silver is the best sign.

Chuhe recruits members of the village protection team and hunting team, and the requirements are also simple.

First, the age is twelve or more than forty-five.

Originally, Chu He asked for a request of 15 or 40 or less, but there were too many oppositions in the village, so Chu He had to relax his age requirement.

Second, you can lift a stone lock of 200 kilograms and take a hundred steps.

Third, within two incense sticks, run around Qinghe Village.

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

The young and strong in the village heard Chu Mu and Chu Shi's propaganda, and knew that Chu He was so arrogant that he was guarding the ox cart. After being injured, he took two taels of silver and one tael of silver. He did not doubt the promise of two thousand yuan a month. He was extremely enthusiastic to join the village protection team and the hunting team.

Some of the 10-year-old guys even said that they were twelve years old and asked to take the test.

Of course, there are some problems. Although some village thorns are willing to join the village protection team and the hunting team, they do not agree to Chu He as the captain, even if the money for forming the village protection team and the hunting team is paid by Chu He.

Chu He didn't say much. After competing with them, Thorn Head was completely convinced, making Chu He's conscription work go smoothly.

Chu He's way of conquering them was very simple, just stand there and let the young and strong man attack him with his fists and feet.

Under the protection of the Golden Bell Cover, these young and strong thorns really couldn't do anything to Chu He, let alone the key points they were embarrassed to hit Chu He.

Chu He just stood there and beat them. They couldn't beat Chu He, so why didn't he convince Chu He?

It is not easy for Chu He to easily impress them if he really starts. After all, many of the thorns in the village are strong and even have some skills at hand, most of which are better than the bandits that Chu He killed.

However, Chu He has the Golden Bell Cover to show off his body, so things are much simpler.

The thorny head is naturally unaware that Chu He’s golden bell cover is the least afraid of being fists and feet.

The young and strong man came to ask for advice, but it only added some proficiency to Chu He's golden bell cover.

The settlement fee of 500 yuan per person allowed Chu He to successfully recruit 150 young and strong people, spending a total of 75 taels of silver, and Chu He spent all the money in his hands.

The village protection team is naturally Chu He as the captain, and Jiang Wei was 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. There are probably few people on Earth who can do the request of recruiting militia members, but in Qinghe Village, 90% of the young and strong people are fine.

There were even a few 10-year-old guys who passed the test and were finally identified by Chu He before they were expelled from the team.

Of course, Chu He, a good seedling like this, would definitely not let go. He promised that when they reached the age of twelve, they would join the village protection team and the hunting team, and these yelling little guys would give up.

Chu He secretly wrote down the names of these children, intending to conduct an investigation and send them to Shangwu Academy to practice martial arts.

Chu He originally planned to give Jiang Wei a monthly salary of five taels of silver, but Jiang Wei disagreed, so Chu He had to give up.

Everything seemed to be very smooth. Under the dual influence of force and money, Chu He's prestige was completely erected. Among the young and strong, there were even signs of suppressing Chu Zhenhai. He was the leader of the younger generation of Qinghe Village.

When Chu blacksmith got five hundred kilograms of iron from Chu He, he got busy day and night. He felt that he couldn't get busy, so he asked someone to bring a letter and found three men of unknown origin to help.

Chu He was originally afraid that these outsiders would reveal the secret of steelmaking, but Chu Blacksmith patted his chest and promised that the three foreign men also made poisonous oaths, so Chu He felt relieved.

People here swear that unlike the earthlings who turn their heads, many people would even sacrifice their lives rather than easily break their oath.

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

With the help of three men who are good at blacksmith Chu's weapons, the speed of Chu's blacksmith's construction of weapons has increased dramatically.
