Cockifold cheered himself up in his heart, stood up, bowed to Taylor, and said, "Lord Governor, the students have another plan. The DuPont bandits have been endangering the township for so long, and the people in the township have long hated him, but the officials and soldiers were weak before, and they dared not speak out for fear of retaliation. Now that our army has conquered the border and succeeded in taking Joseph's bandits, and the people's trust in us is unprecedented, at this time the Governor has issued another order, ordering all localities to select strong men to join the army, and the people will not obey in order to avenge their hatred and to completely make themselves live a life of peace and contentment? ”

Governor Taylor glanced at Clifford meaningfully, and said to himself, "Do you still remember this matter?" After thinking about it in his heart, he had to admit that what Clifford said was the only feasible way at the moment, who made himself useless now? Then he made up his mind and said quietly, "Well, that's all there is to it now." Clifford, you're in charge of recruiting some militia to fight with von Bock. In addition, the three of you also go to recruit militia in case of emergency. The "three of you" he said were his three henchmen, and it was clear that Taylor was keeping a hand on Cliffor, not worrying that he, a resourceful man, was in charge of the army, even the militia, alone.

Clifford didn't care about this, on the contrary, he understood Taylor very well, power is such a thing, even if it is his own son, he can't believe it, let alone a student, someone divides his limelight, so as to prevent him from becoming popular quickly, provoking the jealousy of others and Taylor's defense, that is a good thing.

Life is like carrying a weight far, don't be impatient. Anyway, I'm still young, so take your time.

This is the end of the meeting, and the task of conquering the bandit leader Dupont this time fell to von Bock, and Collie is still the task of supervising the army, of course, unlike last time, he is no longer going alone, he can also bring five hundred elite guards.

"Dude." Von Bock walked up to Clifford, patted him on the shoulder with a worried face, and said, "We've got a hard job, I know DuPont." He is brave by nature, strong in martial arts, and he has the advantage of geographical advantages, so it is not easy for us to take him down. I participated in the last joint suppression, and the defeat of the official army was a miserable one, didn't you see it. ”

Clifford had heard about this for a long time, and it was precisely because of this incident that DuPont became more contemptuous of the officers and soldiers, and his actions became more arrogant, and even this time Governor Taylor came, he did not restrain much.

However, he has already had a new way to exterminate Dupont, if he wants to break a bandit's den, he doesn't necessarily have to be famous and robbed of land, what are so many conspiracies for? It's just that he feels that it's not the time to tell Von Bock that if he can take down Dupont with only conspiracy, then Taylor won't give him the right to recruit troops, he also patted Von Bock's shoulder, and said with a solemn face: "Brother, people live to solve troubles, and since this matter has been put on the table by our brothers, it is useless to say anything." Let's do our best, no matter what, my brother is willing to share the blessings and hardships with you. ”

Feng Boke felt a trace of emotion in his heart, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, I recognize you as a brother, we will share blessings and difficulties." ”

When he returned home, Clifford told his servants about Taylor's permission to recruit 500 soldiers, and when he came to the three northern counties, he brought with him all the people who were loyal to him, including Liana, so they no longer hid it from Liana.

Liana was rubbing Coolford's shoulders, and after hearing his news, although she didn't understand military affairs, she could see that Clifford and the others were happy about this, and they were also happy for their master, so they flattered him angrily: "Congratulations, congratulations, you can finally show your ambitions." ”

Sophia, who was standing next to her, heard that she was called Clifford so intimately, and a trace of sourness passed through her heart, but she still didn't show it on the surface, and still said with a calm expression: "Master, since then, the food we need every month has become a lot, and the military salary alone needs fifteen thousand silver dollars a month. ”

As soon as he heard this number, Coolford felt a pain in his flesh, originally he always thought that buying a house was the most expensive thing in the world, but now he finally knew that raising soldiers was the most money-burning thing. According to the treatment he formulated, if he raised 1,000 soldiers and horses, he would need at least 360,000 yuan a year, and according to his current family background, even if he smashed him, he couldn't afford to raise him.

But thinking about his own winery, Collie suddenly had confidence, what is the most profitable in these years? Industry is always industry, and later generations have also studied the political history of various countries, and none of the rising global powers are not based on industry.

Take his current small distillery as an example, it can bring him a net profit of 20,000 yuan a month, which is much more profitable than those landlords and squires who rely on evading taxes and exploiting the peasants. And now that Clifford is going to expand him, brandy is obviously in short supply, he can't put the silver in vain and not earn it, plus he has the protection of Taylor, even if some of his peers are jealous of him, there is nothing they can do with him.

He decided to double the expansion of the distillery first, and then there would be no pressure to raise 500 soldiers, and said lightly: "Raising money is the first priority in military training, and you will never be able to train soldiers without money." Sophia, don't worry, I'll solve the money thing, I will double the expansion of the distillery immediately, and when the time comes, there will be no pressure to raise these five hundred soldiers and horses. He still has something to say, that is, he still has a shuttle weaving technology that has not been unlocked, and if this is unlocked, it will be a lot of money to open another weaving factory.

"The master is wise." "The master is wise." Everyone, including Sophia, was sincerely admired. They are all old rivers and lakes, they all know the principle of raising money as the first priority in military training, who is willing to sell your life if you don't have money, but they can't think of a way to raise money, the usual training officers are looking for rich people to apportion, but they just came to the three counties in the north not long ago, and they dare not easily offend these rich families who have an intertwined relationship with the members of the DPRK and China, so they are at a loss for money-raising, but fortunately, the master has magic skills, so that they can see the hope of recovering the country and the hope of their future.

Clifford waved his hand to signal for silence, and then lay down on the chaise longue, letting Liana's little hands knead his shoulders.
