After Ye Zheng led the 800 mountain bandits and 1,000 refugees to leave Shiling County, they marched rapidly along the way, preparing to attack some towns close to Shiling County.

Therefore, in the next seven days, Ye Zheng led the mountain bandits and Liu Chengfeng and other leaders and masters, relying on the deterrent power of modern arms in their hands, before and after, captured two county seats, and seized more than 2,000 carts of gold, silver, grain and grass.

And Ye Zheng and Liu Chengfeng, the leaders of the mountain bandits, were the last to return to Cangliang Mountain.

Ye Zheng led everyone, escorting more than 1,000 truckloads of grain, grass, gold, silver and money, and slowly marched towards the direction of Cangliang Mountain. Since thousands of refugees have been re-recruited as laborers, it is easy for them to return from the escort. Therefore, on the way back, Ye Zheng and the others walked and rested, leisurely and leisurely, anyway, after this period of crazy looting, the current grain and grass crisis in the entire Cangdesolate Mountain has been completely lifted.

Seven days later, Ye Zheng and the last group of people finally escorted the last batch of grain, grass, gold and silver, and smoothly entered the realm of Cangdesolate Mountain.

This time, from Ye Zheng leading the 3,000 Cangliang Mountain bandit coalition army out of the mountain to returning to the mountain, it took nearly a month before and after. Within this month, Ye Zheng and the others successively captured four county seats, as well as small towns along the way, and they also looted a few.

In this robbery of official food, in addition to the fact that they were ambushed by the regular army outside Fengxian for the first time, killing and wounding nearly a thousand brothers, in the later siege battle, because of Ye Zheng's terrifying bazooka and Liu Chengfeng and other masters to play the forward, there were not many casualties, but for their harvest this time, those casualties were simply insignificant.

This time, they ransacked four county towns and 12 small towns, robbed a total of more than 4,000 truckloads of official grain, and robbed at least 1 million taels of gold and silver in the government treasury, recruiting nearly 10,000 refugees along the way.

On the way back, Ye Zheng once asked Liu Chengfeng to help calculate that the more than 4,000 truckloads of grain and grass they robbed this time were enough for all the horses in the current Desolate Alliance, and they could eat for nearly two years without working hard, even if the nearly 10,000 refugees they recruited this time were willing to stay in Cangdelight Mountain and join them as mountain bandits in the future, then these stolen grains could also be enough for everyone to eat for a year. As for the silver coins they robbed this time, to what extent was this amount? In Liu Chengfeng's words, these silver coins were enough to give a regular army of 30,000 people in the state city, and they could pay them a whole year's military salary.

Ye Zheng was very interested in what Liu Chengfeng said about the current military salary of the Dalie Dynasty, and asked in detail at that time what the military salary treatment of the guards, garrisons and regular troops of the Dalie Dynasty at that time was like.

Liu Chengfeng saw that the Holy Venerable actually opened his mouth to ask him questions, and he immediately felt very flattered, and immediately he patiently told him in detail about some of the current imperial court's treatment and salaries for the army.

Ye Zheng learned from him that like the guards in the town, their salaries were very small, and they only had more than 600 copper coins per month, and more than 600 copper coins were only enough for the family to take care of the price at that time. The general garrison army can receive about one or two taels of silver per person per month (that is, 1,200 copper coins), but these two or two coins of silver can make the families of those garrisons live quite comfortably. As for the regular army of the higher state town, then their treatment is obviously much higher than that of the officers and soldiers below, like an ordinary regular army, his monthly salary is at least three taels of silver, which is already quite high at that time, therefore, as long as they do not gamble or prostitute, do not have any bad habits, and retire from the regular army for a few years, generally speaking, they can build a house and marry a daughter-in-law with the surplus salary, and their lives are quite nourishing.

However, there are still many armies and troops in the Dalie Dynasty, such as the regular army, there are also a series of elite corps of the imperial court, such as the forbidden army, the imperial forest army, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, etc., but about the treatment of these armies, Liu Chengfeng does not know very clearly, but he can be sure that like those forbidden army, the royal forest army and the light cavalry and heavy cavalry, their treatment and salary are definitely much higher than the regular army in the state city.

Ye Zheng listened carefully to what Liu Chengfeng said about the salary of the imperial army, and he had a certain understanding of those things in his heart, and at the same time, he was secretly planning in his heart what his future development direction should look like.

Liu Chengfeng saw that Ye Zheng had asked so many questions about military salaries and treatment, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Alliance leader, do you think so much about asking about the military salaries of the imperial court army today?"

Ye Zheng smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "It's nothing, just ask casually." ”

At that time, Liu Chengfeng saw Ye Zheng's calculating appearance, and suddenly exclaimed: "Alliance leader, you don't plan to build an army, right?"

Ye Zheng laughed and said: "If you really can't hide anything from the eyes of the lord of Liuzhai, I have this intention, but because this matter is very important, I must wait until I return to the mountain this time, and then discuss it with the leaders of the village to be sure." ”

Of course, Liu Chengfeng knew that his words were just polite, after this time he went out to attack the city and grab food, and now all the leaders and leaders of the entire Cangliang Mountain, who does not know his ability and ability, and now his prestige in the Canghuang Mountain can be said to be unmatched. Especially after everyone saw the terrifying power of the bazooka in his hand, they were even more respectful and afraid of him, and now if he Ye Zheng said one, who would dare to say two?

Now that Ye Zheng went back, he was afraid that he was going to prepare to form an army, and he said that he would go back to discuss with the leaders of the village, but the key was who would dare to resist the proposal he put forward now? The army should be formed or not? Isn't it all because of his words! However, no matter how he tossed it, he must still think about the interests of the entire Canghuang Mountain, and after thinking about this, Liu Chengfeng's heart suddenly brightened, and he secretly thought about it: " When I go back this time, I will definitely give my full support to His Holiness Proposal, and whatever he proposes, I will unconditionally support it. Perhaps, when the Holy Venerable saw that I supported him so much, he was happy in his heart, and he gave me some guidance in the cultivation method, and at that time, my Liu Chengfeng's strength and cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds, and maybe I can break the bottleneck and enter the realm that all martial artists dream of-Martial Sect!"
