Of course, William said so, but when he walked out of here, he still said to Vidal: "Let people look at them, and if there is a forensic riot, shoot and kill!" ”

For now, William still longs for the population, and in addition to the population, it is money and the army.

If there is no population, then the latter two are not at all possible at all.

At the beginning, the population of less than 200,000 in Denlenburg was developed by William to more than one million now, and it has to be said that this is a great achievement of William.

A population of millions, William has turned them into hearts through various aspects, propaganda brainwashing is on the one hand, on the other hand, William has to do well, the affluence of Denlenburg makes the living standards of the residents much richer than those in other territories.

As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, William can let them live a good life, then William is their best ruler, plus William deliberately let people publicize, if there is no William, their life will return to the previous situation of middle tax, not enough to eat, and military service to be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Therefore, they are very supportive of William's rule, and as long as these Norwedds are integrated with them, then they will also become strong supporters of William.

After arranging this, the monks did not pay so much attention to how to convert them to William, and after the conversion, they were assigned to the Lordes who did not have wives, and the soldiers were given priority, and then ordered.

Of course, William's treatment of soldiers is extremely high, so soldiers who are not married or cannot afford to marry are rare.

As for the Norweed families with men in their families, they are only a few, and sooner or later they will be drowned among the Loerdes.

After leaving, William went to the recruiting point to take a look, and since the end of the holy war, the recruitment of soldiers had begun.

The heavy infantry, the Golden Lion Guards, the archers, the crossbowmen, and the Denlenburg infantry all needed to be expanded.

This time, William decided to set the establishment, three brigades and one town, that is, 1,200 people, three towns and one division, that is, 3,600 people, three divisions and one army, that is, 12,000 people, and then expand it later, and he will also add archers to one legion.

But now it's not necessary, basically he personally leads the troops to fight, and the archers are also commanded by himself, so there is no need for this.

As for the archers, he interrupted the expansion from 3,000 to 6,000, also based on the number of infantry.

He also had to expand the number of crossbowmen to 3,000 people, and although the crossbow production was difficult, it was quite overcome.

That is, this time there will be an empty quota of nine thousand infantry, more than three thousand archers, and more than one thousand fifteen hundred crossbowmen.

The heavy infantry William planned to expand to five hundred, and the Golden Lion Guard also had two hundred.

The Golden Lion Guards have to say that in many cases, they can indeed turn the tide of the battle, so although the role is not as good as that of the knights, it is also a very useful class.

As for the Iron Cross Knights, William also planned to expand them, expanding them to about two thousand five hundred, so that they could have more combat power.

With so many vacancies, how can the whole of Denlenburg not boil, the Denlenburg army, which has a monthly salary of five silver coins, is a career that all young people hope for.

For this reason, William spends more than 800,000 silver coins every year, which is only the salary of the soldiers, the construction and maintenance of armor and weapons, and the breeding of the knights' war horses, so to speak, William spends more than 1.1 million silver coins on the army every year.

Even an army as large as the kingdom of Astra spends less than two million silver coins a year, which is far less expensive than William's army.

Not to mention that William returned the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle, which was also a considerable expenditure, and if this expansion was completed, he would not spend less than 1,800,000 silver coins a year on his favorite army.

Last year, William's annual income was about 2.4 million silver coins, and there were many other places to spend money besides the army.

If it weren't for the free labor of orc slaves, and the huge production of food, William might have even incurred a deficit.

That said, after William's expansion is completed, he may only have a net income of 100,000 silver coins by the end of this year.

Looking at these young people who were enthusiastically signing up in front of him, William was a little worried while being happy, because of the problem of money, it is not normal for a country to spend most of its income on the army.

Although William is not yet a king, and this is not a modern civilization, such a high military budget is also a little unbearable for him.

After all, there were many other expenses, and William felt that he urgently needed a new property that could bring great wealth to relieve his pressure.

Although William's domain was commercially developed, the commercial tax levied was still not so much, and if William did not raise so many troops, then the commerce of Denlenburg was enough to make a past and even the Emperor of Rodland extremely envious.

However, William's army is too much, after this expansion, his direct army exceeds 20,000, usually an earl desperately mobilizes four or five thousand regular troops, William is already four times, and he also specified perfect food and hard training for the soldiers, coupled with excellent equipment, it is impossible to spend a little.

William was at the recruiting point in the city of Denlenburg at this time, and this recruiting point can almost be said to be full of people at this time, and 30,000 people gathered here from the 100,000 inhabitants of Denlenburg.

Except for those who are too old to go to the battlefield, and the men who are young and have not grown up, they basically come here to try their luck.

As long as they can be selected into the army, then they can ascend to the sky in one step, and the girls who originally looked down on them will definitely come to them and want to marry them.

The friends around them will also envy themselves because they have joined the Dülenburg army, in addition, the delicious and rich food and high salary of the Dülenburg army make them even more fascinated.

In this way, more than 30,000 people were registered at the recruitment site, and the next day, the entire Denglenburg officially began to be screened.

They are desperately carrying out these selection projects, even if they are tired and can't stand it, they have to grit their teeth and persevere.

Sweat, and even blood flowed down the ground, but even so, quite a few people were eliminated, and the rest were elites.

You know, most of the people in William's domain have been trained by the militia, and the degree of hardship has surpassed that of most of the armed infantry of the other lords, and they can stand out among these people, and these people are the well-deserved elite.

The selection lasted five days and ended with 6,000 archers, 3,000 crossbowmen, 12,000 Denglenburg infantry, as well as the heavy infantry and the Golden Lion Guards.

Coupled with their own foundations, William speculated that they would be able to complete all the training of the Denlenburg infantry within half a year.

This is also one of the intentions of William's original militia system, it takes two or three or three or four years to train, but the daylilies are really cold.
