Two soldiers outside the barracks looked ahead with spears in their hands, and when they saw Jia Nian walking with Guo Dapang, Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing, they hurriedly shouted: "Stop, idle people leave quickly."

"We are here to register the militia" Jia Nian hurriedly said to the two soldiers, thanks to the information of the shopkeeper, so he saved a lot of trouble and could go straight to the point.

A soldier looked Jia Nian up and down, and then looked at the empty fish basket with a flat pole, and his eyes were full of suspicion: "You are here to register the militia?" ”

"Exactly, please also ask this military master to be accommodating," Guo Dapang said to the soldier with a grin.

The two soldiers glanced at each other, and both showed hesitant expressions: "The imperial court clearly stipulates that if you want to train the militia, you need to go to the county government camp in person to report."

"Since you have come to register the militia, where is your village chief?" asked the soldier standing on the right to Jia Nian and the others.

Jia Nian walked quickly and replied to the soldier: "I am"

"You're the village chief?" The two soldiers looked Jia Nian up and down, their eyes full of doubt.

Looking at the puzzled looks of the two soldiers, Jia Nian replied to him: "I am the village chief of Changhe Village"

"Changhe Village? Is there such a village in this county? The soldier standing on the left subconsciously asked, gradually falling into deep thought.

The soldier standing on the right seemed to have thought of something, so he nodded slowly and his tone softened: "Changhe Village, I know, it is a village located on the shore of Chaohu Lake."

"Since you're the village chief, do you have something to prove your identity?" The two soldiers looked at Jia Nian at the same time and asked him.

Jia Nian couldn't help but be stunned, something to prove his identity? It's as if I didn't.

"Yes, there are some, the token on the village chief's waist can prove his identity" Tang Gaoming saw Jia Nian stunned and said to the two soldiers.

Jia Nian then lowered his gaze to his waist and saw a token hanging on it. Reaching out and taking it off, he handed it to one of the soldiers: "I wonder if this token can identify you?" ”

"Village Chief Jia, please Haihan when you were rude just now" The two soldiers carefully identified the token, and saw that Changhe Village was written on one side and Jia Nian on the other, so they bowed to him and said.

Jia Nian smiled at the two soldiers: "It's okay"

"It's just a matter of registering the militia, and I ask the two of you to tell me the specific details" After all, there is a request, Jia Nian said to the two soldiers.

The two soldiers glanced at each other again, as if they were in a silent exchange: "Please wait a moment for Village Chief Jia, and the villain will go to the barracks to inform the county lieutenant of this matter."

As soon as the words fell, a soldier ran quickly into the barracks.

Looking at the soldiers running towards the barracks, Jia Nian and the others didn't say much, and waited quietly.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and a burly man wearing armor and carrying a sword walked over, and bowed to Jia Nian: "I, Zheng Lianzhong, am now added as the county lieutenant of Chao County, and I have seen the head of Changhe Village."

"County Lieutenant Zheng is polite," Jia Nian said to Zheng Lianzhong, and a message appeared in front of him.

Name: Lianzhong Zheng

Position: Chao County, County Lieutenant

Profession: Military general

Class Level: Tier 2 and Tier 5

Introduction: The son of the Zheng clan of Chaoxian County, who holds the military power of Chaoxian County.

Feeling the gazes of Jia Nian and Guo Dapang, Zheng Lianzhong frowned slightly unhappily: "I heard that Village Chief Jia came to register the militia."

"The population of my Changhe Village is withering and close to Chaohu Lake, and I want to turn the two young men in the village into militia to calm the people's hearts, so I came to bother the county lieutenant Zheng before" Jia Nian's lips moved, and the voice flew out.

Hearing Jia Nian's explanation, a hint of discoloration flashed in Zheng Lianzhong's eyes, but he quickly hid it: "Village Chief Jia is so courageous, since he wants to register the militia, Zheng Mou, as a county lieutenant, naturally can't ask for it."

"It's just that it takes a fee to register as a militiaman, and I don't know if Village Chief Jia can afford it," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian asked Zheng Lianzhong: "I don't know how much it costs to register as a militia?" ”

"The cost of registration is not too high, only 1,000 yuan per person" Zheng Lianzhong paused a little here, and then said earnestly: "In fact, the biggest expense of becoming a militia is not registration, but weapons and equipment."

"Armor, swords, guns, swords, halberds all require a lot of expenses, and I ask Village Chief Jia to think about it carefully," Zheng Lianzhong said earnestly.

Looking at the warm-hearted Zheng Lianzhong, Jia Nian felt a good feeling in his heart: "I don't know how much the cost of these weapons and equipment is."

"Then it depends on the choice of the village chief, the equipment is good or bad, and the price will naturally vary," Zheng Lianzhong said with a smile.

Then he seemed to think of something, so he sighed at Jia Nian: "Okay, the county lieutenant will explain the matter to you clearly, so as not to complain in my heart after registration."

"There are many kinds of weapons, such as a hundred steel swords, a hundred steel swords, fifty steel swords, fifty steel swords, ordinary military swords, ordinary military swords," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian and the others all listened quietly, and at the same time quickly calculated in their hearts.

"The most expensive is naturally the price of the 100-for-steel sword at about 15,000 yuan, followed by the price of the 100-for-steel sword at about 14,000,000," Zheng Lianzhong said here, leaving time for Jia Nian and the others to digest.

After a while, he continued: "The cheapest of them is a military knife, and the price is around 800 yuan. The second is a military sword, the price is around 900 yuan"

"Next, we are talking about armor, and there are also 100 refining and 50 refining armor, and the cheapest set of ordinary armor costs about 8,000 yuan," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing and Guo Dapang secretly smacked their tongues when they listened, it seems that the cost of raising a soldier is really large.

"The militia has armor and weapons, and the next thing is to attack from a distance. It is divided into bows and crossbows, and the county lieutenant recommends that the village chief buy a crossbow, which is more powerful and easier for the militia to operate," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian subconsciously asked the question he was most concerned about: "What is the price of a bow and a crossbow?"

"The price of a bow is around 600 yuan, and the price of a crossbow is about 2000 yuan. Of course, this is the cheapest price," Zheng Lianzhong gushed out: "The reason why the county lieutenant recommends a crossbow is because the price of a crossbow is a penny cheaper than the price of a bow and arrow, and the training time of a crossbowman is shorter than that of an archer, which is the most cost-effective choice."

Jia Nian suddenly felt that he was so poor, and it seemed that if he wanted to strengthen the army, he still had to go a long way.
