Regana briefly explained the situation, it was nothing more than that the Blood Knight Mercenary Group had too many people, too little business, and not enough money to support their families, and now everyone wanted to find a stable job and eat together.

Ray Dawang nodded in agreement: "That's it." ”

Renard and the others looked at each other, some unable to accept this fact.

Lei Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "You are known as the strongest man in the Southern Great Wilderness, and with so many industries under your control, can't you even afford to raise a mercenary group?"

Lei Dawang was silent for a moment, and then said a classic line: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and my family actually has not much surplus food." ”

Rigana shrugged helplessly: "Since the outbreak of the demon disaster two years ago, many caravans have not dared to continue trading, and even many have closed their doors directly, and our business has plummeted by about fifty percent. ”

Renard was well aware of this, because of the demonic plague, the caravans to and from the city of Plenty had been reduced by two-thirds.

Seeing his listening expression, Rigana continued, "Since last year, more chambers of commerce have been disbanded, and we have been able to receive less than 20% of the original business. ”

She sighed helplessly: "The members of the regiment have to eat and drink themselves, and their families also have food and clothing, this money is simply astronomical, and since half a year ago, the entire mercenary group has been in a state of complete deficit." ”

Renard took a sip of tea: "That's why you're disbanding the mercenary group?"

Rigana nodded: "It's a bit ridiculous, but that's the case, there is no business, and there are expenses to support the entire mercenary group, and my wallet has long been shriveled." ”

She looked at Lei Ye and asked, "You should know what the price of grain is now, right?"

Renard thought for a while and gave the answer: "Five copper plates for beans and one kilogram, eight copper plates for rice, one kilogram for rice, six copper plates for flour and one kilogram, and other supplementary grains increased by 204 percent year-on-year." ”

This is the number that Lei Ye once joked with Heidi, but it has come true now.

Last year, the peasants made a lot of money, and the price of grain and vegetables was nearly three times higher than in previous years, which was entirely a benefit from the devil.

The land of the southern wilderness is fertile, and if the best crop seeds are used and intensively cultivated, the wheat production capacity per mu has reached more than 600 catties, and the entire territory harvested nearly 300,000 tons of wheat last year, but the result is still not able to curb the momentum of the crazy rise in grain prices.

Rigana's expression became extremely bitter: "Now you understand how difficult it is to feed these more than 1,000 people and their families. ”

Renard was silent, comparing the cost of his own army, which was indeed an astronomical amount.

Ray Dawang took a sip of tea: "Have you made a decision, if you don't want to accept my people, I will take them to Ignaz City, where conscription is also underway." ”

Lei Ye looked up at him twice, and felt that this guy had a lot of thoughts, and he knew where his weakness was.

It's right to think about it, to be the leader of a huge mercenary group, how can it be a mediocre person.

Renard took a deep breath: "I want to ask a question, do you want to borrow me to get through this crisis, and then recruit people to form a mercenary group again, or do you plan to let them eat the bowl of rice as a soldier and follow me to the dark?"

This question is very important, if it is the former, they will roll wherever they like.

Ray Dawang almost did not hesitate: "Naturally, it's the latter, not only them, if the treatment is suitable, I also want to join your army." ”

Renard's mouth opened wide when he heard this: "You also want to join the army?"

Ray Dawang nodded and said truthfully: "I have been on the road of mercenaries for fifty years, and I am sixty-six years old this year, I don't want to be displaced anymore, I have to find a place to retire, I think this is good." ”

Sixty-six? everyone's eyes widened in unison, my mother, this person is too good at maintenance, right?

Renard almost choked on his own saliva, he felt that if the other party went to sell health supplements, it was estimated that he would be richer than being a soldier.

Of course, he would not have said these words: "In that case......"

Lei Ye groaned for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious: "You know our recruitment rules and military regulations and military discipline, we don't want those who have a serious criminal record, don't want those who are too low, don't have disabilities, and don't want those who have bad conduct." ”

Lei Dawang nodded and said, "Don't worry, people who don't meet the standards have been singled out by me, and the property I have purchased over the years also needs to be taken care of, which is just a double win." ”

Damn!

Renard smiled a little helplessly, it seems that the other party has settled on himself, otherwise he would not have arranged things in advance.

Of course, this matter will not be too easy to finalize, and many words must be made clear in advance, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Lei Ye's face became more serious, and his tone became quite solemn: "If you want to join my army, although you won't start from the grassroots level, you won't have too high a position, at most you can only be a squadron leader." ”

Ray Dawang bowed slightly: "It's fair." ”

Renard breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "Of course, with your ability, sooner or later you will be able to mix up to the rank of military commander." ”

Ray Dawang tilted his head undeniably, without the slightest modesty.

Renard said again: "Your subordinates will also be deliberately disorganized, and they will be arranged into each regiment and battalion according to their strength. ”

Ray Dawang nodded again: "Since they have joined the army, they have nothing to do with me, or they will only be friends or senior officers." ”

The other party's answer made Lei Ye very satisfied, and he asked, "Then do you have any other requirements?"

At such a time when manpower is urgently needed, fully receiving the establishment of a regiment is something he never dreamed of, even if the other party has any requirements, as long as it is not too much, he can agree.

Ray Dawang was lost in thought.

After a long time......

This is a long time, Lei Ye has already run to the toilet twice, and when he came back from the toilet for the third time, Lei Dawang suddenly raised his head, looked at him deeply, and said: "Frequent urination, you may have some kidney loss." ”

Renard: "......"

He thought that the other party would say something that would make him unacceptable, well, this sentence was actually unacceptable to him.

Just when Lei Ye was about to go berserk, Lei Dawang spoke again: "My request is that you can take care of my daughter." ”

Reynard looked up at Regana in surprise, and found that the other party had a stunned expression on his face, obviously not talking about the other party's request.

Ray Dawang kept a straight face, ignored his daughter's murderous gaze, and said: "She is almost forty years old this year, and if she doesn't marry, I'm afraid she will be old." ”

Renard listened to the other party's words and swallowed hard, is this a double happiness?
