Zhao An couldn't help but exclaim, "These dogs are truly unique."
Despite having seen dogs of various colors—black, brown, yellow, and spotted—he had never encountered a breed with such a square shape and a head that was both round and angular. This perfectly confirmed his understanding that through long-term interaction with Xian Chang, he had discovered that everything Xian Chang presented carried a certain peculiar aesthetic beauty.
Yun Yi then explained, "They were originally wolves, transformed into dogs by my magical powers. Although they may not look impressive, they have gentle temperaments and rarely harm anyone. They can also understand some simple commands. Moreover, they can survive well without special feeding."
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. With so many advantages, could these really be considered ordinary dogs? In everyone's minds, they were the ideal guard dogs! Just as the thought settled in, before anyone could react, Yun Yi continued, "Next, I will give these dogs to Zhao Yun to enhance the security of Zhao Family Village. Let's not bother them anymore."
Using them to transport boxes was merely a temporary measure; when it came to efficiently moving timber, oxen and horses were still the best choice. Since they wouldn't be needed for hauling, it would be better to let them fulfill their strengths in maintaining security.
"Don't underestimate these square-shaped dogs," Yun Yi added. "They are no less capable than those professional police dogs from later generations; in some aspects, they might even surpass them."
Hearing this, everyone appeared disheartened. They had hoped to acquire a few of these dogs from Yun Yi for their own protection, but that thought was already dashed before it could even take root.
Zhao Yun appeared quite excited. Grateful for the Divine Lord's generosity, he believed that with these dogs, the security of Zhao Family Village would surely improve significantly. Yun Yi nodded lightly, expressing his hope that Zhao Yun would not let him down.
Zhao Yun nodded vigorously in agreement, promising, "I will not fail the Divine Lord's trust and will do my utmost to protect Zhao Family Village."
Then Yun Yi asked, "By the way, how many people are in your security team now?"
Zhao Yun reported honestly, "Since you appointed me to handle security matters, I immediately organized a team and have gathered over a dozen people."
"Only a dozen?" Yun Yi frowned.
That number was indeed too small! According to Zhao An's previous report, recently, Zhao Family Village had taken in many refugees fleeing from disasters. Coupled with the previously sheltered refugees and the original residents of the village, the total population had reached an astonishing figure.
If placed in modern terms, this might be equivalent to a slightly larger community. However, given the current historical context, the entire population of China was only about fifty million. Generally, villages consisted of around a hundred people; larger ones might have only a few hundred.
Yet now, Zhao Family Village's population might have already exceeded one-tenth of the entire Zhengding County. How could just over a dozen people manage well over three thousand?
Moreover, there will be even more in the future.
In response to this issue, Yun Yi immediately provided an answer.
"We currently have too few recruits. I hope you can at least gather some security personnel."
"What? People!" Zhao Yun's eyes widened in disbelief, his face filled with incredulity. "Divine Lord, five hundred seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?"
In ancient times, even a ten-to-one ratio was considered extremely harsh.
Yet Yun Yi remained unwavering as he continued, "We must consider the long-term. As Zhao Family Village continues to grow and develop..."
