After Qin Baichuan finished speaking, he didn't say anything, Tan Jiaotou and the others didn't ask, but they all knew in their hearts that Qin Baichuan had another purpose in doing this, that is, he sent a message to himself through these actions, that is, he was really trying to get along with them as friends. Although they could understand Qin Baichuan's deep meaning, Tan Jiaotou could only shake his head, no matter what Qin Baichuan did, as the big dog said, they couldn't betray the Lord, or rather, this bit of bargaining chip was not enough at all. Maybe it's best to describe it in one sentence, let's see each other late.

The carriage fell silent.

Although it was not early, the owner of the Qin Fang did not come back, and the housekeeper did not dare to sleep in the spring breeze anyway. After welcoming Qin Baichuan at the door, the spring breeze immediately arranged, Qin Baichuan naturally wanted to live in the master bedroom that originally belonged to Cheng Yangtian, the Baihua Workshop was the least lacking in housing, and after the monkeys and others were settled, they went back to the room to sleep in the spring breeze.

The next day, when the light was bright, I just slept for a long time in the spring breeze and got up, and woke up the family and craftsmen from room to room. With the stimulation of silver, the family members and craftsmen who had barely rested for a day did not have many complaints, and under Sun Dahai's arrangement, they went to work.

Qin Baichuan has always had the habit of sleeping lazily, plus he danced the rabbit dance for more than an hour last night, and his back hurts, and he didn't get up dizzily until three poles in the morning. After opening his eyes for a long time, he sat up from the bed and pushed the door open.

"Sir." After the door opened, several people standing outside the door clasped their fists at the same time, Qin Baichuan closed one eye and looked, but the monkeys, Wuyin, and Wufu were all there, they were standing in the first row, and Tan Jiaotou and others had changed into the clothes of the Hundred Flowers Workshop and stood in the second row.

"It's good to be able to get along in harmony, it's good, it's good." On the surface, the six of them all looked calm, not as tense as yesterday, and Qin Baichuan nodded with satisfaction.

"The monkey told us exactly what the gentleman said." Wuyin chuckled lightly and said, "We also saw it in Wangjiang Tower yesterday, and Mr. Gao Ming...... Some people may have sent someone to spy on Mr. Wang, but they also sent us a free head of the school. ”

After Wuyin's reminder, Qin Baichuan suddenly remembered that yesterday he seemed to have ordered the monkey to go to Wangjianglou to give an order, and let Wuyin bring all the stragglers recruited by the Bliss Sect. Thinking in his heart, he asked, "You waited here early in the morning, but you brought all the manpower here?" ”

Morning?

Wuyin and the others laughed secretly in their hearts, but the early morning of Mr. was someone else's noon. However, this kind of trivial matter doesn't matter, he nodded and said: "Yesterday, I got a message from the monkey, so I went to the Bliss Sect to pass on my life, and I gathered people in the morning, and I am currently waiting for Mr. to order outside the Hundred Flowers Workshop." ”

"Wait for me." A family member had already brought clean water, and after Qin Baichuan finished washing, he walked out of the workshop with six people, and asked as he walked: "How many people did you bring this time?" ”

"Two hundred." Five-tone return.

"Only two hundred?" Qin Baichuan frowned, his undisclosed opponent was huge, and only two hundred people were afraid that it would be useless.

"Is it too little, sir?" Qin Baichuan was depressed, Wuyin still felt depressed, when Qin Baichuan said that he wanted to pull a team, he went around to recruit people after rehearsals in Wangjiang Tower. But after Qin Baichuan explained this matter, he didn't go to the Bliss Sect at all, and he still scraped together these two hundred people.

"It's really less." Qin Baichuan was a little displeased: "The time since the establishment of the Bliss Sect has been not short, why are there only so many people?" ”

"Sir, it seems that you really forgot." Wuyin had no choice but to remind: "There are three reasons, one is that we are in the name of the Cult of Bliss, and the purpose of recruiting people is mainly to do good...... Do you remember this, sir? ”

Wuyin said vaguely, Qin Baichuan nodded to show that he understood, on the one hand, he wanted to pull a team to play with the Cult of Bliss when he established it, and also gave monkeys and others a reassurance, but the most important aspect was to let these people secretly plant and grind ascetics.

"That's it." Wuyin continued: "At the beginning, Mr. had a word first, and we didn't dare to delay Mr.'s business, nor did we dare to recruit on a large scale, so as not to attract the attention of all parties; Second, sir, as of Miss Yan's arrival, the Bliss Sect was barely able to maintain self-sufficiency, and there was no extra money to support a large group of people; Thirdly, the government has a clear prohibition that no one family should have more than 120 guards, and due to Du Bo's relationship, 200 people is already the limit. ”

"Well, it looks like it's all my fault." Only then did Qin Baichuan realize that it seemed to have misunderstood Wuyin, and said with some self-reproach.

"It's not that Mr. is wrong, it's just that 200 people are the limit at the moment." Where does Wuyin dare to blame Qin Baichuan, just explain it clearly.

"People hate less when they use it." Qin Baichuan sighed, looked at Tan Jiaotou and said, "Tan Jiaotou, do you think that if I want to defeat your lord, how many people are enough?" ”

"Forehead......" Tan Jiaotou was stunned when asked, but Mr. Qin said that he would treat each other with sincerity, but this Nima was too honest.

"What, it's hard to say?" Qin Baichuan felt quite boring.

"The more the merrier." Tan Jiaotou immediately replied.

"So, you think the same as I do, and this mere 200 people is not enough for your lord to stuff his teeth." Qin Baichuan scratched his head: "It seems ...... At least a tenfold increase is enough. ”

"Ten times? That's two thousand. Wuyin glanced at Qin Baichuan, it seems that Mr. is really preparing to make a bloody capital this time, Mr. does not shy away from Tan Jiaotou when he speaks, and Wuyin has no scruples: "Sir, the more the merrier, of course, it is true, but have you ever thought about it, how much silver will it cost to raise two thousand sergeants this year?" ”

"How much?" After coming to Dasong, Qin Baichuan has no big money and no small money, and he really has no concept of silver as a whole.

"I haven't led any soldiers, so it's hard to give an exact number. But sir, think about it, these people need silver for food, silver for clothing, silver for weapons and armor, monthly salaries, and settlement expenses for death...... It's really not easy to calculate. Wuyin was a little congested.

Qin Baichuan didn't speak, he calculated in his heart, if it is placed in a modern company, what should be the concept of raising 2,000 people? A simple calculation, let's talk about eating first, the daily food cost of one person is calculated according to the minimum of ten yuan, and two thousand people have to eat 20,000 yuan a day, how much do they have to eat in a month? Speaking of wages, 500 per person per month is not high, 2,000 people...... And how much is that?

Qin Baichuan only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, in the past, in modern times, he always felt that the country could not move billions of billions, and tens of billions of dollars seemed to be very rich, but in fact, it was really calculated, and I was not enough to move. Until this time, Qin Baichuan actually admired the ruling party a little, which could make more than one billion people in the country eat enough and dress warmly, and there was indeed a set.

"What are you thinking, sir?" Seeing Qin Baichuan stop in abruptness, Wuyin asked.

"I suddenly admire Yuanyuan and Qu Xi now." Qin Baichuan grinned, there are always hundreds of people in Quxi Jinxiu Villa, she is busy every day, Liu Yuanyuan is even more terrifying, and there are at least tens of thousands of people in the Qiushan army...... No wonder she was always short of money.

"Sir, in fact, these things in the army can't be counted as Wuyin said." Seeing that Qin Baichuan was embarrassed, Tan Jiaotou took the initiative to speak: "Our garrison in Dasong is also divided into seasons, in addition to the standing army, many sergeants belong to the Tuntian army, and while farming and training, they can basically achieve self-sufficiency. Now there is no display, the funeral expenses are very small, and the weapons and armor are only a one-time investment. ”

"I don't know anything about the Standing Army, the Tuntian Army, but I know that if I want to raise two thousand sergeants, it will be equivalent to cutting flesh and bloodletting from me......" Qin Baichuan has a big head, if this team is not pulled, he will not rely on it, but the silver required to pull a team of only two thousand people is astronomical, where will Qin Baichuan get this large amount of money?

"Sect Leader Tan, do you know the verbal agreement between me and Cheng Gongzi?" Qin Baichuan moved his mind and asked.

"Know." Tan Jiaotou replied.

"He told me that after Chinese New Year's Eve, he would hand over all the manpower and resources to me, and the profits would be divided fifty-fifty. Oh, it should be my common wish to bring up a team with Cheng Gongzi, so is it good to contribute together? Qin Baichuan laughed, now he is becoming more and more clear, Cheng Gongzi wants to use him, then he will also use Cheng Gongzi, now he can work towards the common goal of both parties, and in the final competition, who will die depends on who is more skilled.

"Mr. Qin...... The Lord will not agree. Regarding Qin Baichuan's thoughts, Tan Jiaotou could only smile bitterly. You pulled up this team to deal with the Lord, and if the Lord doesn't directly destroy your thoughts, it can be considered extraordinarily gracious, and he can still give money with you? Besides, if the Lord's money was really large enough to be spent so casually, then he would not have to endure it for so many years.

"You didn't ask, how do you know he won't agree?" Qin Baichuan raised his eyebrows and said.

Qin Baichuan seemed to be a little reluctant, and Sect Leader Tan could only find another excuse: "If Mr. Qin insists, I can ask the Lord...... But sir, Wuyin Fang also said that there is a limit to the number of private troops in Dasong, if it is true as Mr. said, recruit 2,000 people, I am afraid that before the training begins, it will be crowned with the crime of rebellion and completely wiped out. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, I'll just go back and say hello to Lu Shigao." He had already gotten the inside story from Lu Shigao, and the emperor was ready to encourage the people to expand the army, and what Tan Jiaotou was worried about was not a matter at all. And he was also looking for an opportunity to talk to Lu Shigao about the current situation, and the expansion of the army just gave him a suitable excuse.

"Mr. Qin insisted on requesting, I will contact the Lord later." Tan Jiaotou didn't dissuade him again, and reminded: "It's just ...... Since this matter is going to alarm the Lord, I hope that the gentleman will not make his own decisions without receiving a clear command from the Lord. ”

"No problem!" Qin Baichuan stroked his palms and smiled, as long as the information of Sect Head Tan was transmitted, it meant that the open and secret battle between him and the Lord had slowly begun.
