Mowgli is busy.

The ripening of sweet potatoes is urging the expansion of the Black Flag Guard, and they can't wait. Relying only on the more than 1,000 soldiers now, once someone arsonists attack, the consequences are self-evident.

Wuji found a group of people to discuss together.

"You all know that according to the current defensive strength of Padang, it is more than enough to deal with the mountain thieves, but if the troops of the feudal town come to attack, it will be a mantis arm blocking the car. Therefore, the expansion of the Black Flag Guard is imminent, and a certain is ready to expand through recruitment, and the patriarchs of Padang have promised to draw one for every five households, and there should be little resistance to recruitment. I asked you to discuss what kind of recruitment to use? How to recruit? ”

Xu Shiming said: "Ming Mansion, if you use the method of recruitment, although it is strong and worry-free, but it is not appropriate to recruit according to the system." ”

Baili Wuji said: "Master Xu, please speak clearly." ”

Xu Shiming said: "According to the system of recruiting government soldiers, those who serve in the army must bring their own weapons, and if they do not have weapons, the government will issue weapons and the soldiers should pay the corresponding money." Moreover, the government soldiers have no food and salary, and if the Ming government recruits according to the government military system, the burden on the people will be heavy, which is inappropriate. ”

Baili Wuji thought for a while and said, "What if it is according to the Praetorian Guard system?" ”

"The Ming Mansion can't, if you use the recruitment method of the Praetorian Guard, then the Badong County Ya can not bear it, according to what the Ming Mansion just said to recruit about 3,000 people, not to mention the military rations, according to the current Praetorian Guard soldiers one tael of silver per year, plus the original Black Flag Guard officers and soldiers, it will take more than 5,000 taels a year, how can the Badong County Ya get so much money?" County Chengtian Zhiquan hurriedly interjected.

Baili Wuji did not answer Tian Zhiquan's words, looked at the sky, and said to himself: "A certain opinion is to draw one ding according to five households, and all those who serve in the army will be exempted from taxes for the whole family, and the taxes they are exempted from shall be borne by the county, and the weapons required shall be provided by the county, and the people shall not be required to pay for them; Those who serve in the army shall be paid two taels of silver per person per year, and if there are those who are killed in battle, the county shall pay their relatives a one-time five-year military salary, and if there are those who are disabled and unable to produce, they can receive monthly rations. ”

Before the words fell, everyone in the audience changed color in unison.

Xu Shiming winked and wanted to stop Baili Wuji's words.

Ran Baili Wuji lowered his head to serve the tea, lightly opened the lid of the cup, blew the tea, and took a sip slowly, but he didn't see it.

Xu Shiming had no choice but to speak: "The Ming Mansion is not proper in this matter, a certain person is the county government master, and the tax revenue of a county in Badong is far from enough to support 5,000 people. ”

Baili Wuji looked at him and asked rhetorically: "Did you say that you need Badong County to pay the military salaries of these 5,000 people?" ”

Xu Shiming was shocked, is this a rebellion?

was forced to rush out helplessly: "The Ming Mansion has set such rules, does your father know the way?" ”

Xu Shiming was in a hurry, not to mention whether he could afford 5,000 troops, the treatment of a single hundred miles of Wuji army was comparable to that of the forbidden army, or even higher than that of the forbidden army.

Wuji glanced at everyone lightly, smiled and asked Xu Shiming: "Master Xu, does a certain general change the name of the United Army to Black Flag Guard mean that you know the Dao?" ”

Xu Shiming's thoughts were already far away, and he was only thinking about how to deal with the aftermath for Baili Wuji, and replied casually: "Please also ask the Ming Mansion to give advice." ”

Baili Wuji said: "Since it has been changed to the Black Flag Guard, it is not an army, if the Black Flag Guard is just a group of guards hired to protect Padang, how to distribute food and salary is just a matter of one's own, not an army, what does it have to do with the king?" is not in the establishment, did not receive one or two military salaries from Nanping Kingdom, I think the king will not blame, do you think so? ”

After speaking, he took the teacup again and glanced at everyone.

Everyone in the audience turned from shock to astonishment.

Tian Zhiquan understands that with the power of sweet potatoes, the rise of Baili Wuji is not something he can stop, or Sun Guangxian can't stop it even if he is a king. Now Baili Wuji dares to speak like this in front of everyone, he must have been prepared, if he doesn't say a word, he is afraid that the difference between his breath is in the middle of his breath, rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the situation and bet that he can become a big thing.

Thinking of this, Tian Zhiquan said angrily: "The Ming Mansion can give up the family wealth for the maintenance and guarding, and the garrison of Badong is the blessing of Badong. ”

Baili Wuji smiled and turned his eyes to Kumaki Motodo.

Xiong Jiben was silent, and at this time stepped forward and handed over a fire-sealed note to Wuji.

Wuji was a little surprised, opened the notebook and looked at the signature behind the letter, and said: "It seems that the king is also worried about the safety of Badong, everyone, please see, the prince said that he would fund the ordnance of 2,000 people." Come, pass it on, everyone will take a look. ”

Xiong Jiben's face changed several times when he heard this, and he propped up the chair handle, wanting to get up to stop him.

Baili Wuji turned his head and looked at him with a smile, and everyone's eyes were also focused on Xiong Jiben's body.

Xiong Jiben's inner struggle at this time was intense, and the beads of sweat "popped" and "snapped" down, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally sat down.

Xu Shiming first took the notebook, and only one sentence was written on it, "I learned that Ziqing took up the post of garrison, sent 2,000 people and weapons, and came to Japan for a long time, and I hope that Ziqing will do it himself." "Behind it is the seal of the prince Gao Baorong.

Xu Shiming was shocked.

It is not that he is shocked that the prince will send three thousand ordnance, the reason for this can be understood by thinking about it, if the prince wants to succeed to the throne, he needs the support of powerful people, and it is reasonable to win over the father and son of Baili Yuanwang. He was shocked that Baili Wuji had such a thunderous means at such an age, and today's matter was already thoughtful, and it was a shame that Tian and Xiong saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise two heads must have landed at this time.

Although he is optimistic about Baili Wuji, it seems that he still underestimates him now.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiming let out a sigh of relief, handed the note back to Baili Wuji, and said: "The matter is big, this thing cannot be circulated by everyone, and I hope that the Ming Mansion will be clear." ”

The play has been done enough, and Wuji saw Xiong Jiben's most embarrassing attitude, so he took back the Zazi and said, "Do you still have any opinions?" If not, Xu Zhubo drafted a notice according to what the county just said, Tian County Cheng was responsible for contacting the chiefs of all the clans in the county, Xiong County Lieutenant was responsible for posting notices everywhere, and Baili Yi and Baili Kangru went to the Black Flag Guard Barracks to set up a recruitment office. ”

Baili Wuji paused and glanced at everyone: "Besides, from today onwards, please don't have any contact with the outside world, okay?" ”

Several people present looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that although Baili Wuji asked quite kindly and easy-going, if anyone dared to violate, everyone knew the consequences.

Without any further hesitation, everyone stood up and shouted in unison.

Afterwards, Xu Shiming asked Baili Wuji privately: "The Ming Mansion accepted the Shizi's ordnance, but you want to tie yourself to the ship of the Shizi?" ”

Baili Wuji looked at Xu Shiming in astonishment: "Sir, why did you say this, the ordnance was given to me by the prince himself, not for me to ask him, what do I have to do with the ship of the son of the last world?" ”

Following the last time he taught Baili Wuji Thunder Method, Xu Shiming once again learned his rogue method.

Xu Shiming didn't understand how many aspects of this little boy's humanity he didn't understand.

But there is one thing that Xu Shiming knows very well, no matter what, he is tied to the boat of Baili Wuji.
