Chen Ning and the Bull Demon King came out of the City Lord's Mansion, and then returned home, and found that Wu Bangyan Shen Bijun and Wu Tanhua Zhang Xinyi and other nine subordinates were already waiting for him to come back.

It turned out that everyone knew that Chen Ning had gone to meet the Metropolitan Governor to discuss the formation of the legion, so Shen Bijun and the others, everyone wanted to know the latest progress, when to recruit troops and buy horses, and drum up the legion. Everyone is in a mood of eagerness, after all, the highest of them is a captain, the worst is a second lieutenant, but all of them are single officers, and there is not a single soldier under them!

In addition, the old man Fangzheng and Gu Yutong, Gu Xiaocheng sisters, as well as Liu Ruyan and Kan Jing, also came, as Chen Ning's friends, they also cared about the progress of the formation of Chen Ning's legion.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him and Chen Ning to come back with great anticipation, the Bull Demon King immediately wanted to speak in frustration, wanting to tell everyone about the difficulties that the Black Storm Legion was facing now.

But Chen Ning had already taken the first step to speak, Chen Ning put a big bag of gold coins on the table, and then showed a little smug expression, and said loudly: "Here are 10,000 gold coins, and it is also the first phase of our legion's funds, and the Metropolitan Governor said that there will be more and more funds to support us in the future." Captain Shen Bijun and Lieutenant Zhang Xinyi, you go out of the city now, find a suitable venue, we have to recruit new soldiers among the displaced people, the number is about 1,000, you go and get ready first, put up the recruitment notice, tomorrow I will come to the scene in person, personally select the new soldiers. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Shen Bijun and his gang were worried that they were idle, and they wanted to help Chen Ning but didn't know how to help, but now that they got Chen Ning's order, they immediately prepared to leave the city without hesitation.

When they were leaving, Chen Ning took out a hundred gold coins and gave them to Shen Bijun, asking him to make the recruiting field more decent.

After Shen Bijun and the others left, Chen Ning, who was still full of ambition just now, suddenly deflated and showed a sad face.

Seeing Chen Ning's expression, Kan Jing frowned slightly: "Chen Ning, have you encountered any problems?"

Liu Ruyan is a businessman, and she is the best at careful calculation, so she glanced at the big bag of gold coins that Chen Ning had just placed on the table, and then seemed to realize something, so she opened her mouth and said softly to Chen Ning: "If I guess correctly, it should be a serious shortage of funds." ”

Gu Xiaocheng was looking at the big bag of gold coins on the table with interest, it was the first time she had seen such a big gold coin when she was so big, and suddenly heard Liu Ruyan say that Chen Ning's funds were seriously insufficient, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Ah, isn't it, Brother Chen Ning has tens of thousands of gold coins here?"

Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "10,000 gold coins is indeed a huge amount of money for one person, but it is not simple for a thousand people, besides, the expenses of eating, drinking, and lazing, daily training, and weapon purchase for these thousand people must be deducted from this money, not to mention anything else, any good standard dagger will cost more than a dozen gold coins, and any thunder pistol will cost hundreds of gold coins, as for the bee sting assault gun, you can't get it without a few hundred gold coins, let alone the dragon scale armor." Therefore, if you want to fully arm every soldier in the legion, without 1 million gold coins, it is estimated that you will not be able to do it. ”

Not only Xiao Cheng, but even the others were taken aback by the number calculated by Liu Ruyan, they knew that they wanted a lot of money, but they didn't know that it actually cost so much, the Bull Demon King was shocked and said: "Oh my God, I want so much money!"

Liu Ruyan explained: "The empire has its own military factories that manufacture weapons, and the craftsmanship is mature and the craftsmen are experienced, so for the empire, the cost of weapons is not so high. However, in the market, the price of standard weapons has increased several times, and if it is on the black market, the price of standard weapons will be even higher, which is the reason why the purchase of equipment needs to be sky-high. ”

Kan Jing looked at Chen Ning: "Chen Ning, does the Metropolitan Governor only support you with such a little money, what are your plans?"

Chen Ning: "It is estimated that the Metropolitan Governor is testing me, testing my ability to successfully form the legion." I don't have a good way now, I take it one step at a time, use these ten thousand gold coins to recruit new soldiers, buy military uniforms, equip them with the most common and cheap daggers, and then give them basic training. The first month or two is basically physical fitness and discipline training, and if you don't buy expensive thermal weapons and dragon scale armor, then these 10,000 gold coins should be able to support you for a month or two. In these two months, I will find another way to raise funds. ”

When Kan Jing heard this, he immediately said: "I am in the Imperial Bank, and I still have five thousand gold coins, and I will talk to my family, I should be able to get another five thousand, and I will make up enough for you to get ten thousand." ”

Liu Ruyan is a businessman, she is still the eldest lady of the Liu family, and even the biggest voice of the Liu family, the Liu family business house is taken care of by her. She can use more funds, in fact, the Liu family has never been stingy in terms of investing in contacts, just like when the Liu family consolidated the relationship with the city lord Yu Wenyuan, they directly gave half of the shares of the Liu family firm to Yu Wenyuan unconditionally.

Now, Liu Ruyan wants to invest heavily in Chen Ning.

She deliberately pointed out the huge financial problem faced by Chen Ning just now, in fact, she wanted Chen Ning to borrow money from her, and then she pushed the boat to fund Chen Ning.

Liu Ruyan is a very shrewd woman, even if she helps others, she also understands that taking the initiative to help others may not be so grateful. If others take the initiative to ask for help and they do not hesitate to help, then in the eyes of others, this help is "begging", and they will remember it more deeply, and this kindness will be more profound.

However, what Liu Ruyan didn't expect was that Chen Ning didn't seem to think of asking her for help for the time being, and Kan Jing didn't hesitate to take out all her savings to help Chen Ning.

In this way, she couldn't sit still, because people Kan Jing had already expressed something, and if she didn't say anything to Chen Ning, then her friend, it didn't seem that Kan Jing was righteous enough!

Liu Ruyan giggled immediately, attracting the eyes of everyone in the room, and she said to Chen Ning with a smile: "Chen Ning, what are you worried about, have you forgotten that my Liu family is a commercial tycoon in Vermilion Bird City?

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked, and Chen Ning couldn't believe it, he just wanted to speak.

But Liu Ruyan has continued: "However, this is not without conditions. ”

Chen Ning: "Tell me about your conditions. ”

Liu Ruyan: "Our Liu family funded your Black Storm Legion with one million gold coins, but, in exchange, I have two requirements, the first requirement is that the armaments and materials that your legion will purchase in the future must be purchased by our Liu family firm under the premise of the same quality and price." ”

Chen Ning smiled: "Sure enough, it's a business, but it doesn't matter, it's not the same who you do business with, and if you have benefits, you naturally want cheap friends, not to mention that with my friendship with Miss Liu, you will definitely give me the best price." ”

Liu Ruyan Yanran: "This is nature...... As for the second request, it may be a bit excessive, but it is also what our Liu family has been longing for for a long time. ”

Chen Ning was interested: "I've been longing for a long time, let's take a look." ”

Liu Ruyan stroked a strand of hair from her ear, and stared at Chen Ning with wonderful eyes: "The second request is that our Liu family wants to arrange a person from our Liu family to enter your legion." But not as a soldier, but as a quartermaster. ”

Chen Ning: "I understand, your Liu family is a wealthy businessman, but the Liu family has no achievements in the army, so the Liu family wants to make a breakthrough in this area." As for the children arranged by your Liu family, they don't want to be soldiers, but only want to be quartermasters, this is to make a fat difference, and be safer, and it is not easy to sacrifice in battle. ”

Liu Ruyan nodded: "You're right, but our Liu family is a wealthy businessman, and the children of our family all know how to be careful in their calculations, and putting the children of the family we recommend in the position of your quartermaster can play a more effective role." ”

Chen Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I will promise you both conditions." However, I don't accept the other people recommended by your Liu family, if your Liu family wants to send someone to my legion as a quartermaster, then you will come and serve in person, and the others will be interviewed. ”

"Me?"

"Yes!"

Liu Ruyan originally wanted to recommend her younger brother, but she didn't expect Chen Ning to fall in love with her, and she was dumbfounded.
