Three days passed in a flash. Chen Ping had spent nearly two thousand taels of silver to completely build the fountain square!
It was carved out of marble, with a water spring that rose up to a height of three meters. The surroundings were filled with planted flowers, grass, and tree seedlings, and then paved with green stone slabs!
In just a few days, this place had become the most lively place in the entire Peace Village!
Those who had some ideas bought a few houses here. Usually, some outsiders would come here to set up stalls to sell some things!
Even during the day, some old and young people were willing to come here to play!
On this day, Li Guang, the commander of the guards of Peace Village, took the lead. Several soldiers in armor followed behind him, carrying tables and chairs. The last person held a huge flag!
Two words were written on the flag: "Conscription!"
Li Guang did not need to publicize it. In the center of Peace Village, it did not take long for everyone in Peace Village to know about the recruitment of soldiers!
"Daniu, didn't you always say that you wanted to protect everyone? The village center was recruiting soldiers. As long as they were selected, they would receive a monthly salary of five coins! It's enough for the whole family to eat and drink!"
"Erzhuang, hurry up. Commander Li is recruiting soldiers in the village. As long as we are selected, we will have the chance to ride that handsome and big black horse we saw last time!”
"Let's go, let's go. As long as I'm chosen, I don't believe that Cui Hua next door will not like me. I must make these guys look at me in a different light! What did the village chief say before? That's right! Thirty years in the south, thirty years in the north, don't bully me!”
Not long after, the flow of people in the square began to become dense. Even some young and strong people who were cultivating wasteland or building houses at the edge of the village heard the news and put down their work to rush over!
The people of Youzhou Province were valiant, and everyone worshipped martial arts. All the young and strong men had the dream of joining the army!
Moreover, the conditions given by Chen Ping were really quite good!
Li Guang looked at the dense crowd and finally revealed a smile."
"My lord said that only men above the age of 16 and below the age of 30 are allowed. The latter will be given priority when it comes to family inheritance. The salary of a soldier for the first year is five coins per month, seven coins for the second year, and one tael for the third year! Ten-Commander and Centurion would be added on top of this!
Those who have been soldiers for more than three years will be exempted from taxes. Those who have been soldiers for more than five years will be rewarded with one mu of fertile land in Peace Village!”
Li Guang's voice traveled far and wide, allowing everyone to hear it clearly!
And this extremely generous condition also made all those who could choose reveal a trace of joy!
But how could it be that easy?
There were close to a thousand people who were suitable for the job, but Chen Ping had ordered that only 700 people were allowed. If they did not meet the requirements, they would only need 500 people!
Li Guang wouldn't lower the standard of passing just to fill the number of people. He directly told the first person who arrived the method of testing,"
"There are two buckets of water here, each about 30 pounds. Raise them with both arms and support them for 100 breaths!”
"In addition, there are fifty and eighty catties here. If each of them can last for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea and an incense stick to burn, they can become sergeants or even sergeants! Also, those who were skilled in riding would be given priority!”
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. If they were to lift these two buckets of water, it was actually not a big deal. As long as they were old enough, anyone who did some farm work could do it. However, lifting them to the same level and holding them for a hundred breaths of time was quite difficult!
These two buckets of water added up to a total of 60 pounds!
Such conditions were enough to stop many people from entering!
"The first one!"
A man who looked to be in his thirties arrived. There were still some dirt stains on his clothes. He looked at the two buckets of water on the ground and easily picked them up until his arms were level. At first, he felt extremely relaxed, but his face became redder and redder, and his arms trembled more and more frequently!
Finally, in the span of eighty breaths, he fell down, splashing water all over the ground!
"Lord Commander, you see that I'm only a short while away, so make an exception and let me join!”The man begged bitterly!
Li Guang didn't even raise his head." On the battlefield, your enemies won't let you survive. Conscription is not like anything else. I'm responsible for your life!”
Obviously, Li Guang had no intention of lowering his standards!
War was not a game!
On the battlefield, no one would give you a chance to rest. If you didn't have enough strength, your throat would be pierced through when the two weapons met!
Without enough endurance, they were like fish waiting to be slaughtered! Especially for an infantryman!
Therefore, even though the recruitment requirements were harsh compared to other lands, including Winterfell, Li Guang wouldn't lower his requirements!
The man shook his head helplessly and left, his face filled with disappointment!
"Next group! Let's do it together!"
Along with the mighty recruitment, a few special personnel came in from the entrance of Peace Village.
One of them waved his hand at the virtual camera.
"Hello, everyone. I'm your friend, Liu Qingshu. Today, I, Liu Qingshu, have finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived at the current number one on the combat strength rankings, the most legendary village among the players of our Dragon Country..."
