Although many residents knew that Hope Village was likely to make big moves in the future, they never expected that the moves would be so big.
"There are so many new jobs all of a sudden! I want to give it a try."
"When is the exam? I've been waiting for so long since the last one!"
"Hehe, I'm always ready. Ever since the territory was upgraded, I knew there would be big changes. Now that two new departments have been added, a lot of people will definitely be needed. I'm sure I'll pass the exam this time."
"I am now doubting, is this still the village we hope for?"
"Haha, don't say you doubt it. I doubt it too. Not only is the area twice as big as before, but there are more shops on the commercial street."
"Now there are many more people doing small business along the street, and there are more and more delicious food."
"The construction team already has so many people, and they are still recruiting. Are you planning to build a road?"
"Yes, and it was repaired with cement."
"The construction team is more suitable for ordinary people to go there actually."
...
...
"Come to think of it, there are a lot of people in the Soldier Corps now! I see a lot of people have chosen to become soldiers."
"Being a soldier is good. There is a stable salary, and the territory takes care of many things. I have less pressure."
"Soldiers are more suitable for those who don't know the purpose of life. They just need to be led by the territory."
"Soldiers from other territories can't enter even if they want to, and the mortality rate is high. I'm willing to go to Hope Village."
“I still like doing business.”
"There are many options for doing business now! Shops and markets are both good choices."
"But the market is more for foreign caravans! It's suitable for those mercenary teams, as they have enough supplies."
"Ahhh! The school is finally recruiting students!"
"My child is playing around every day, it would be nice to have a place for him to go to school!"
"You are so nice. You have your children with you. I..."
"Don't think too much about it."
“…”
The crowd was discussing in the territory in an uproar. All the notices were passed around by them, and the expressions on their faces were nothing but excitement.
First, the territory has become larger, the number of buildings in the territory has increased, and it has become prosperous visibly.
Secondly, I hope that the village will have a reasonable arrangement, whether you are a soldier, a troop operator, working for the territory, opening a shop, being hired by others, learning technology... as long as you are willing, you can take different paths and follow your wishes.
Both Blue Star residents and indigenous people like this kind of freedom.
Don't think that all the people present are Blue Star residents. As the population of the territory increases, the indigenous people have already occupied most of the population of Hope Village. It's just that they are unconsciously influenced by the environment of Hope Village, and their thinking is gradually moving closer to that of the Blue Star residents.
Having enjoyed the freedom they have now, it is impossible to let them go back to the way they were before.
Zhou Bai and Bayer couldn't help but smile as they watched this scene.
"Village leader, Lord Bayer."
Soon someone noticed Zhou Bai and Bayer and greeted them, while also making way for them, which made the people in the hall even more like sardines.
But they all knew that Zhou Bai and Bayer must be busy with work, so they must give way!
Not to mention Zhou Bai and Bayer, even if other staff members wanted to come out, they would give way.
"Thank you." Looking at them, Zhou Bai's lips curled slightly.
"We should thank you."
"You guys are busy!"
"If there's anything you need our help with, just let us know."
"We are all willing to work for the Territory."
“…”
A crowd of people also expressed their loyalty.
The war had just ended and they were all rushing towards a new life. It was the time when everyone was united, so they naturally supported everything in the territory.
Zhou Bai also understood this truth, which was why he planned to thoroughly set the tone for Hope Village before outsiders from other territories came.
After everything has been decided, no matter how many people or forces come from outside, they will never be able to shake the foundation of Hope Village.
"Then please do as you please. We'll leave first." Zhou Bai also said frankly.
The natural response was a chorus of responses.
After Zhou Bai and Bayer came out, there was a lot of noise behind them, all talking about what kind of job would be good.
Among them there are quite a few ordinary people, or professionals with no special skills.
They understand themselves and can find a natural and suitable way out for themselves.
Looking at the undisguised smiles on their faces, a gleam of light flashed across Bayer's eyes.
Then, the two of them headed towards the military camp.
After the territory expanded, the military camp that was originally relatively close is now farther away. At least from a distance, one can only see a vague shadow.
While walking on the road, Zhou Bai unconsciously thought about the transportation problem in the territory.
In fact, with the establishment of trade relations with several surrounding territories, the number of magical beasts that are specially used as combat partners by professionals has increased. Of course, each one is expensive. Except for some wealthy people in the territory, many people are reluctant to do so. After all, they are not going far away. Raising a magical beast requires contract scrolls, a large amount of beast meat, and even some growth-type magical beast potions. The resources consumed are more laborious than raising them themselves. Even if many people like it very much, they will resist raising it.
Only those who are professional summoners will spend a lot of effort to cultivate relationships with monsters.
As for the territory, she raised a lot of horses in the farm in order to raise cavalry, and she invested a lot in it.
In fact, in the three territorial wars so far, Zhou Bai has not encountered a serious army.
…
But in fact, it can also be inferred that not many village-level territories can afford to support a serious army.
Is Fasal Village rich? Of course they are rich, mainly plundering territorial resources, but he didn't raise any. Why? It must be because he wants money, and most of his money must be given to the territory behind him.
She just didn't believe that Fassal Village, which had skipped so many territories and had so many residents, and was already a level 3 village so early on, would not be able to advance.
It was obvious that they were waiting to plunder the resources of the villages below.
Unless the person behind the scenes has a replacement, Fasal Village will advance and focus on the small town-level territory war.
From this we can infer that a regular army is not that easy to maintain.
But Zhou Bai planned to raise it, because her goal has never been a village in a remote corner, she must expand her territory.
Only by moving forward can we continue to protect our own area.
And now, going up to Hope Village is a level 1 town.
Once it is promoted to a small town, the enemies you face will not be of the same level.
Therefore, she had to gather the military strength of the entire Hope Village before it was upgraded to a small town.
Otherwise, why would she put so much thought into establishing military ranks?
Back to the topic.
She would just raise the monsters. What she was considering now was whether she should first select a batch to connect the entire territory, otherwise it would be inconvenient to travel.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai spoke up, "Speaking of which, maybe we need to add another department."
"What?" Bayer was walking on the road! He was stunned when he heard Zhou Bai say this.
What departments are still missing in the territory?
"We are still short of a city construction management office." Zhou Bai said, "We can add one after we go to the military camp. At that time, the construction team can be placed under this department. In the future, it will be responsible for building buildings for the territory and managing transportation, once and for all."
Urban Construction Management Office???
In fact, Bayer understood some of the current departments very well, because other territories also had similar departments with different names but similar responsibilities, so he understood them quickly.
But the Urban Construction Management Office was a strange concept to him.
I have never heard of any territory that is specifically responsible for building and transportation.
Although it is a new concept, if you explore it carefully, you will understand its benefits.
Indeed, it would be more professional if there were dedicated personnel in charge.
At that time, the territory will only need to allocate funds.
Who allocated the funds? Of course, it was Lord Zhou Bai.
With the money in the territory in his hands, Zhou Bai had power in his hands, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
"Okay." Bayer agreed without hesitation.
"Let Tours and Bigamu take charge when the time comes! Let's also put the cement factory under this department! And give Song Wenli and others a formal position." Zhou Bai made the decision directly.
Bayer nodded. "Turles and his men have been working on the factory and have done a lot for the territory. And Song Wenli, this little girl made cement. She also made a great contribution to the territory war this time. In this way, their contribution is enough, and even if they are airdropped, it is in line with the territory procedures."
"We'll just make it public when the time comes." Zhou Bai nodded. "Once the department is established, we'll have them build access for carriages and set up stations in various places to facilitate travel."
Bayer's eyes lit up. "If the transportation is developed, it will be convenient to transport supplies for war in the future."
"Um."
"Where is that person?" Bayer couldn't help asking, "I'm afraid that everyone is making travel more convenient, which makes transportation inconvenient. In other territories, only nobles and authorized personnel can accommodate animal carts for travel. Our territory..."
"There is a dedicated lane for public transportation, and others can travel freely, but they need to pay a fee." Zhou Bai said without hesitation, "Not only the residents of our territory, but also foreign nobles and caravans will be able to enter and exit freely. They just need to pay a fee."
"Okay." Bayer said in surprise.
He really discovered that the lords' heads were really filled with a lot of "wisdom". Many of the things that worried them were no longer a problem after passing through their brains.
Working in a territory like this, there are surprises all the time!
Zhou Bai naturally sensed Bayer's surprise, but she knew that she could have such thoughts thanks to the other world.
After all, I am still a little half-baked. Many things cannot be thought of in advance and I have to figure them out after I encounter them.
Fortunately, there is still plenty of time for her to explore slowly.
In just a short while, a new department was established.
After a while, the two arrived at the military camp.
At this time, in the military camp, the newly added soldiers were also registering, and the long line has not yet completed the registration!
Originally, after the territory war ended, many people who wanted to be soldiers lined up to register early in the morning as soon as their contribution reached the requirements.
Zhou Zhengping and others who had been well prepared naturally recruited them one by one.
Originally, we had a rough idea of the number, but once the issue of military ranks in the territory came out, even more people came.
Apparently, the territory now gave the soldiers an upward path.
When it comes to a territory, military merit is the fastest way to increase its power.
Don't look at anything else, just look at your strength.
In the past, their strength was just a simple bargaining chip and confidence in other territories, but in Hope Village, it was the foundation for their survival and power.
Look at the captains of those soldiers' teams. They all live a good life and are respected.
Therefore, more people flocked to the military camp.
"Frederick, male, 27, contribution 512, received."
"Ronald, male, 29, contribution 622, received."
"Anna, female, 25, contribution 599, received."
"Gustave, male, ..."
This was the lively scene that Zhou Bai and Bayer saw when they came in.
They are arranged in several rows, and after confirmation of collection, their contribution points will be directly deducted and exchanged for soldier status, and then they will go to the next location to decide their military type.
At this time, Zhou Bai also subconsciously looked at his own records. Obviously, more people chose arms other than the main arms of Hope Village.
This is because the three types of soldiers, infantry, shield soldiers and archers, have the largest number of personnel, and there are already several sergeants and even lieutenants.
In this situation, how do they get to the top?
Except for some with restricted professions, those with a little ambition will naturally go for other branches of the military.
This was something Zhou Bai welcomed.
Zhou Zhengping
"Dad." Zhou Bai called out, and then he also noticed that Zhou Zhengping's title had changed from the original team leader to the current captain. Obviously, his contribution was almost at the top level of lieutenants and close to colonels.
Her father also works very hard.
"Come and inspect!" Zhou Zhengping said with a smile in his eyes.
"Well, let's take a look at everyone's exchange situation. Are there any troubles?" Zhou Bai said, scanning the field and saw countless familiar figures.
"Currently, there are nearly 1,500 soldiers in the territory, including 150 sergeants and 15 lieutenants. Eleven of the 15 lieutenants are currently occupied. As for the 150 sergeants, only two are confirmed, and the others are waiting to be selected. There are a total of 500 people, and we also plan to report it and wait for your decision." Zhou Zhengping said directly.
As soon as the military rank was announced, countless people were interested.
Fortunately, they
"Register first, then see how many people there are, and let them compete for the jobs!" After thinking for a moment, Zhou Bai made a direct decision.
“How to compete?”
"Just practice in the training room, two by two, and go by ranking." Zhou Bai replied. No matter how you choose, there will definitely be some voices, so just rely on your strength.
Once the decision is made this time, in order to have a standardized promotion system, we will just have to follow the rules and regulations in the future.
"Okay." Zhou Zhengping nodded in agreement. He had thought about it as well, but he would not make the decision without Zhou Bai's permission.
Zhou Bai naturally knew some of Zhou Zhengping's taboos in the military camp, because her father could not decide on military affairs, let alone others.
Bayer, who was watching from the side, also felt a little emotional.
The lord has a pair of parents who love her.
They are also her confidence.
"Then announce it!" Zhou Bai said.
"What about the new recruits? Many of them have reached a contribution of 1,000. We were just discussing whether to give them a chance." Zhou Zhengping hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
Logically speaking, the veterans have worked in the barracks longer and should be given some privileges, but the new recruits have a high level of contribution, which shows that their dedication to Hope Village is also high enough.
In this case, isn't it unfair to exclude new recruits?
"This time, it will be a fair competition with strength as the priority. In the future, under the same conditions, we will judge according to the number of years you have served as a soldier." Zhou Bai made a decision after thinking for a moment.
"Okay!" Zhou Zhengping nodded.
Soon, Zhou Zhengping announced the news.
When it was first released, many veterans did feel a little uncomfortable with it, but they quickly accepted it.
In this world, it is normal for a territory to do so because of its strength.
When the new recruits heard the news, they were eager to try it out.
Because they know that this is their only chance to surpass the veterans.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire military camp became heated.
Zhou Bai was soon invited to sit in the main seat.
At the scene, the soldiers who had completed registration began to draw lots immediately. After drawing lots, they formed teams of two and immediately began to fight.
When the battle was in full swing, Zhou Bai looked at the list of several lieutenants and the branches of the military they currently belonged to.
Because Zhou Bai wanted to gather all types of troops this time, Zhou Zhengping and others had already "allocated" them according to each person's talents.
Infantry: Zhou Zhengping, O'Neal
Cavalry: Li Xingteng
Shield Soldier: Ling Mingzhi
Spearman: Frey
Archers: Cao Jingshan, Alick, Simmons
Horse Archer: Heidi
Staff: Lucas, Xu Chengyi (Sergeant)
Doctors: Daniel, Sha Mingjie (Sergeant)
It can be said that each branch of the military now has its representative figures. The only special ones are the staff officers and the doctors. There are only two heads of these two branches of the military, two of whom are sergeants, even sergeants, while most people prefer the force of force.
"That is to say, there are still 40 sergeants and 400 soldiers without direct leaders?" Zhou Bai continued to ask after looking at the general situation of the soldiers.
"Yes, now it depends on whether you put them into other teams first, or promote four more people as acting lieutenants." Zhou Zhengping said. He still preferred acting.
If the number of people exceeds the limit, they will be assigned to other teams. Who will be eliminated when the team is full in the future? It is better to decide at the beginning. At worst, one of the lieutenants will have fewer people under him temporarily.
Zhou Zhengping's idea was also Zhou Bai's. "Then let's make him an acting lieutenant! We'll select the highest-ranking sergeant among the four arms: cavalry, shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers, regardless of race."
Having said that, Zhou Bai added another sentence.
She also noticed that there were quite a few dog-headed people and tiger-headed people among the new recruits this time, and they naturally had an advantage in combat.
The same goes for the undead, many of them are at a relatively high level, which is also their advantage.
Despite this, she will not limit the quantity.
"Yeah." Zhou Zhengping responded and immediately announced the news again.
As soon as the news came out, the new and old soldiers participating in the battle became even more excited, and even the new soldiers who did not have the opportunity to participate were extremely excited.
Because Hope Village has actually shown them a fair channel for “moving up”.
A fair selection method took place before them, setting the tone for the future.
As long as they are willing to work hard and strive, they can climb up.
Most importantly, everyone’s contribution is firmly registered in the contribution list, leaving no room for slacking.
Suddenly, the "gunpowder smell" on the scene became stronger, and everyone who had the opportunity to participate in the fight was sizing up their opponents.
Let’s not talk about the future for now. At present, they have only one goal: to defeat each other!
At the scene, when everyone was competing fiercely, Li Xingteng and others who had already been determined came to Zhou Bai's side.
"Village chief, as long as we submit a task to the task center, can we hire mercenaries from other territories? Then can the mercenaries in our territory also go to other territories?" Li Xingteng asked first.
"Currently, the restrictions on the territory have not been lifted. If they are lifted later, it is indeed possible to transfer between the two places." Zhou Bai said directly, "Even if it is lifted, it will only be between territories of the same level. For example, our territory is a level 3 village, and we can only travel to territories of level 3 and below, and the tasks are also limited."
"That's fine! It would be great if we could meet fellow countrymen." Li Xingteng continued.
Seeing how concerned Li Xingteng was, Zhou Bai paused, then spoke, "Are you looking for someone?"
"Well, I'm separated from my wife and children. I don't know if they are in other territories. I have to give it a try." Li Xingteng sighed. He had known for a long time that not all people from Blue Star had come to this world. Perhaps only the talented people from Blue Star had come.
He didn't know whether this was a selection or a trial, he was only thinking about his wife and children.
Zhou Bai listened and began to understand Li Xingteng's thoughts.
Not only Li Xingteng, but several people in the team couldn't help but flicker their eyes after hearing what Li Xingteng said.
In fact, they all have their own relatives and friends, and they will consider whether they are in this world or in other territories.
Seeing the concern on their faces, Zhou Bai said directly: "After the recent matters in the territory are settled, I will open the mission center. Then you can post missing person missions in the mission center. Prepare the money and bounty!"
"Okay." Li Xingteng and others listened and looked a little excited.
"It can only be seen in the territory of level 3 villages, and not necessarily all of them." Zhou Bai reminded.
"It's okay, we can wait." Li Xingteng said. A little hope is better than no hope at all.
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded.
Now that this matter was finalized, Li Xingteng and the others were visibly in a better mood.
"Speaking of which, will we be able to learn more about the situation in other territories by then?" Li Xingteng continued to ask.
This other territory refers to the Blue Star Territory.
"Yes." Zhou Bai nodded. This was also something she was looking forward to.
Without mentioning other things, let’s just say that currently in the Blue Star Territory, more than 200 territories have been upgraded to level 2 villages, plus Hope Village also has five level 3 villages. By then, she will be able to meet compatriots of all kinds. Among them, she really wants to know about Ningshan Village and Wenxia Village. These two territories are the earliest developed level 3 territories and are the responsibilities of the Blue Star Territory.
Perhaps, to a certain extent, they can still help each other.
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Li Xingteng said, and the others nodded in agreement.
"So everyone should work hard to build a good territory!" Zhou Bai quickly encouraged them.
The future construction of the territory depends on people!
"Of course." Li Xingteng patted his chest and assured.
Bayer, O'Neal and others who were watching knew that they were talking about their past affairs before, so they did not interrupt. But now after hearing about the construction of the territory, they also interrupted.
“We will also try our best.”
"Village Chief, if you have anything to say, please tell us."
“…”
Zhou Bai listened to their words of loyalty and nodded, "Don't worry, you have all been arranged. The current task is to determine the number of people under you so that I can assign them when the time comes."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Now, the focus returned to the selection of sergeants within the military camp.
"Speaking of which, there are a few people who are definitely fine. They usually work very hard."
"It also has strong combat capabilities."
"Ling Mingzhi, your friend Tang Junliang will definitely be able to do it."
"He has been working very hard since he came to our territory! It's normal for him to have a quota."
"Hey, Cao Jingshan, that's Yu Ziming. He's also a soldier, and his contribution is over 1,000. Is there any possibility for him?"
"It's very likely. He was one of the first people to adapt to the changes in the environment. If he hadn't taken the wrong path, he would definitely be better than me. Now he's fallen behind by so much, but he's fought hard to catch up. With his perseverance, he will definitely be able to do it."
"Aren't you worried about his character?"
"If he does it again, the territory won't give him another chance. I'm sure he'll take advantage of it."
“…”
Listening to their words, Zhou Bai couldn't help but look at Yu Ziming a few more times.
This person took so many steps back, but still rushed forward to get here. He really has a strong determination.
However, Zhou Bai was not worried that he would get into trouble again, because he had a criminal record and others would be wary of him. If it happened again, he would really not be able to survive in Hope Village.
Zhou Bai spent the following time paying attention to talents, listening to the talents proposed by his father and others, and then searching in the database of the lord panel.
After a while, I got to know everyone's talents and skills.
And when the battle was over, the final personnel were indeed not much different from what she had roughly understood.
Finally, 148 sergeants and 4 lieutenants were selected.
Undead Swordsman Billy (Spearman), Minotaur Fred (Shieldman), Tang Junliang (Cavalry) and... Yu Ziming (Archer).
After all, no matter how powerful the undead and the minotaurs are, they mainly fight in close combat. Cavalry and horse archers are not their hobbies, so they naturally would not choose them.
Tang Junliang and Yu Ziming chose these two items with great care.
Sometimes, a smart head also represents strength.
The military ranks and numbers in the barracks were thus finalized.
Soon, the lieutenants brought
The new teams need to work together, and even the different branches of the military need to work together. How they cooperate depends on the choices made by the lieutenants.
Watching them leave in a mighty manner, Zhou Bai felt relieved.
Hope Village’s eight types of troops are now complete!
The military force has begun to take shape.
She believes that she will become stronger and stronger in the future.
"Bayer, let's get other aspects done as well!" Zhou Bai said with high morale.
With other aspects settled, the future development of Hope Village will be completely determined! We will also have the courage to face other territories comprehensively.
"Okay!" Bayer said in a loud voice.
Afterwards, the two of them hurried away.
Markets, schools, shops, buildings, new departments, roads… one after another began to be built in an orderly manner.
All of a sudden, the entire territory was in action.
What Hope Village didn't know was that while they were working hard, several teams were approaching Hope Village from different directions.
