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

It turned out that Donghai County already had a 2,000-person city guard army, led by two disciples from the eighth level of Qingyun Sect, and were mainly responsible for the public security and crackdown on illegal activities in Donghai County. However, it was also scattered in key areas throughout the county. The power of only a few hundred people in Donghai City was seriously insufficient. Moreover, the city guard army itself is just a civilian and has limited capabilities.

Recently, there are signs that many forces are ready to move, and Donghai County City is obviously insufficient in staff, so it is necessary to form a new army to serve as a mobile force.

This time, people who are recruited with martial arts foundation are mainly to train backbones. If anything happens in the future, civilians will be recruited. Using these people's core to expand their troops, they can immediately obtain thousands of new recruits, which is a preparatory move.

Donghai County is one of the four counties controlled by Qingyun Sect, but it is the only coastal county, which is very important to Qingyun Sect! It’s just that Donghai County is a bit too far away from the sect.

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

The upper class of Qingyun Sect had a premonition that something would happen, but the headquarters of Qingyun Sect is far north and is thousands of miles apart, which is really inconvenient. Moreover, the main force of Qingyun Sect is also restrained in the north and there is no extra force to station here.

Donghai County has millions of people, a radius of thousands of miles. In any case, it is far from enough to lead a few acquired masters and a 2,000 city guards composed of civilians. Everything must be prepared for any accidents.

The two of them took their luggage and returned to the city lord's mansion, arranged the place where Ye Xing lived, and Li Qifeng and Ye Xing came to see City lord Li again.

Lord Li took out a book to Ye Xing, "This is the wood-based sword technique I majored in before. If you practice it, you are mainly water spirit roots and should have the second level of acquired level. First, practice the water-based martial arts given by Master Lin. You also have wood spirit roots. Please refer to it and advance as soon as possible!"

Lord Li turned to Li Qifeng and said, "You are at the seventh level of the acquired fire system, and you can also guide you Junior Brother Ye!"

He also said, "What kind of exercises is not the most important, the core is your ability to comprehend. Learning and thinking more is the best way." Ye Xing hurriedly said yes!

Lord Li took out another token and gave it to Li Qifeng, "You will accept new recruits in the North School in three days! Start training immediately and take shape as soon as possible! We must be strict and we must become a powerful new army!"

Li Qifeng took the token, "Yes, uncle!", City Lord Li gave them 50,000 taels of silver as the cost of training the new army, and sent 20 City Lord's Mansion guards as their temporary assistants.

Ye Xing accompanied his master, Lord Li, Elder Lin for lunch, Li Qifeng, and two commanders of the city guards also came to accompany him, one was named Guo Song and the other was named Pan Changqing, both of whom were outside disciples of Qingyun Sect, and they were all at the level of the eighth level of the acquired heaven.

As for the other two people with spiritual roots who passed the assessment yesterday, all third-grade single spiritual roots, they went home to prepare and would follow Elder Lin back to the headquarters of the sect 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 Beizhaichang. A Avenue outside the north gate of Donghai City came to a 10-mile open space. It was a very small island surrounded by water on three sides. Dozens of wooden and grass houses were built around the island, which was very neat, with a large flat land in the middle.

Ye Xing and Li Qifeng chose a large room in the middle as their office space and their temporary residence. This place, the city lord's mansion had already prepared some time ago, was the training camp for the recruits.

The two carefully checked the entire barracks and were satisfied with all the situations, because they were basically new and the beds and the like were strong. Ye Xing asked the guards to write the room number on the door of each barracks and the number on the side of each bed.

The Guard City also asked the order of the city lord to go to the city to invite the owners of three large restaurants to come over, and asked the three restaurants to contract a canteen here, and directly use one thatched house as the kitchen, each of which was prepared for three meals for 100 people in each kitchen.

Ye Xing asked them to try it for a month, all at high prices. After a month, they left the last two companies and then introduced the third company, all at the highest prices, and they asked them to start preparing tomorrow.

Ye Xing invited all the craftsmen in the city to start construction immediately in a place where the water was urgent by the river, building 30 high-legged small houses as thatched houses, with holes in wooden boards, and the water flow below directly washed away the waste. A large amount of straw paper was also provided in the thatched house.

This practice surprised everyone because they had never heard of such a hygienic and safe hut. In the past, they were all conveniently solved in the woods. It was not hygienic and unsafe, because there might be small beasts like snakes in the woods, and the timid ones dared not go to them at night.

The carpenter asked the doors of each barracks to be removed and customized 40 large wooden barrels with covers, placed them in front of the barracks for drinking water, made more than 300 small wooden plates, and numbered them at the same time, put one under the bed, and send them for new recruits to take a bath and wash clothes tomorrow morning.

Ye Xing went to the city and asked the blacksmith to start work and make 400 large iron bowls and steel spoons, and they were numbered every time, so that they could be delivered tomorrow.

Ye Xing required that all these tasks must be completed within one day, and they must be meticulous at what time they must be completed, and they must come to check them in person.

That night, the two and a group of guards lived in the barracks, discussing details all night, such as arranging residence, food, selecting the captain, training details, etc., and Ye Xing used paper to record the results of various discussions.

Li Qifeng said happily, "Junior Brother Ye, he is young and clear-headed and organized, and is amazing! His writing is so good, and he is a famous calligrapher!"

Ye Xing said humbly, "Senior Brother Li has been awarded! I am a weak scholar, and writing is my only advantage!"

Li Qifeng said: "I have been practicing in the sect and know nothing about foreign affairs. Fortunately, Junior Brother Ye helped me, otherwise I would definitely not be able to do this!"

The two of them were busy until late at night before they thought everything clearly and then they went to bed.

What Ye Xing must do every day is to practice. It is right by the river. The water spirit energy is much richer than in the city, which is also suitable.

Although it is very tired, practicing can help Ye Xing recover faster, especially when the starlight shines on his body, a feeling of cold flowing into his brain will soon make his mind extremely refreshed and his spirit will become fuller quickly.

It was already dawn, and the two and the guards ate the breakfast sent by the city lord's mansion. Everything had been delivered and prepared to start work. Ye Xing asked the soldiers to take the list of various contents, check and check one by one.

Several of the three restaurants were sent to prepare all the equipment in the kitchen, and also prepared a lot of coal and dry firewood.

At noon, each family also cooked meals of twenty people. Ye Xing and Li Qifeng and 20 city guards tried the taste. Ye Xing was quite satisfied and asked each family to withdraw 1,000 taels from the military camp as the starting funds.

Ye Xing’s requirements are very high, delicious, and sufficient, and it must be equipped with food at a standard of one or two taels of silver per person a day.

Ye Xing declared that if he fails to meet the requirements, he will punish the restaurant for undermining military discipline. If he meets the requirements, he will have to contract the military camp food at a high price for a long time.

Ye Xing explained to Li Qifeng that this is to train professional soldiers. The only task of soldiers in the military camp is to train. Soldiers cannot be sent to do chores. All soldiers who come must become professional soldiers and use this as the backbone to gain combat effectiveness in the future.

Li Qifeng deeply agreed that he often had to go out to do tasks in the sect. He said it was a practical training, but in fact he wasted a lot of time and could not devote himself to cultivation at all, so he was slow to advance. Of course, if he was a core disciple, he would not have to do any sect tasks.

This time, training the city guards was also his sect task, which essentially distracted him from chores, but he could not refuse.

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

The two of them checked in detail before going to bed before they really lay down and said nothing all night.

It was dawn, so I had a simple breakfast. Ten guards held spears in their hands and separated from each other, and 10 assisted the two in handling the registration of the new army.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the recruits.
Chapter completed!
