"Let's go, this place stinks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" I turned my head and smiled softly at Shangguan Lin.

Shangguan Lin had already covered his nose with a pink brocade handkerchief, and when he saw me turn around, he smiled in return, and his demeanor was extremely coquettish.

"Yo, what a beautiful handkerchief, what's embroidered on it?" I asked as I grabbed the Jinpa in Shangguan Lin's hand with my hands and grabbed his hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's plum blossoms." Shangguan Lin said with a smile, "Little brother likes plum blossoms very much. ”

"I love it too." I smiled and said, "Wait until I take a closer look." ”

"Brother, take a handkerchief, can you let go of my hand? A lot of people are watching. Shangguan Lin said with a smile.

When I looked around, the foreman and the miners were all staring at me and Shangguan Lin blankly, their eyes extremely complicated.

"What are you looking at? Still not working?! I yelled.

Everyone immediately buried themselves in their work, and the foreman retired first.

The brocade has a lovely fragrance, and I put it under my nose and smelled it several times before I was satisfied.

"It's really boring to guard the mine in this wilderness." Shangguan Lin sighed.

"I'll send someone to pick you up and take you to the city later." I laughed.

"Gambling money to play women again? Boring. Shangguan Lin frowned.

"Brother, what do you like? Brother helps you arrange. I asked.

"Don't you know what I like?" Shangguan Lin smiled ambiguously.

My heart trembled, and an impulse surged through me, but in an instant reason prevailed.

I'm not gay, I'm not gay, I said to myself over and over in my heart.

"I still have a lot of things to do, let's go first, brother, and there will be a time later." I hurriedly hugged my fist at Shangguan Lin, and then quickly turned around and walked outside the mine.

"Big brother......" Shangguan Lin shouted softly behind me, but I didn't stop.

Nima, what am I doing here? If you don't have the guts, why do you want to provoke him? As I drove away, I kept blaming myself in my heart.

Maybe many people have a favorite friend in their hearts, but there are very few who can really come together, and I can't take that step in the end, which only proves that I am a straight man with a beautiful vision of the same sex, I sighed to myself.

I thought about it all the way, and before I knew it, I had arrived at the north gate of Xi'an City.

I did not enter the city, but galloped along the walls to the west of the city.

I sent a message to She Tianyang and ordered him to send someone to pick up the Song brothers to go to the "heaven and earth" for entertainment.

At the same time, I received news from Xuanyuan Aotian, who told me that two more gold mines had been discovered in Xi'an, both of which were located in Lantian County.

I hurriedly asked what the reserves were, and Xuanyuan Aotian replied with 2 words: amazing.

In addition, Xuanyuan Aotian also told me the good news: those two gold mines have not yet been mined.

I need more miners, but the North Gate Market has been emptied by me, where can I find more people? I was in trouble.

In desperation, I thought of She Tianyang - he is Wang Million's right-hand man, and he should also have a lot of connections.

I hurriedly sent a message to She Tianyang for consultation, and after a while, he replied: Lanzhou also has a large population market.

I ordered She Tianyang to take people to Lanzhou to buy all the living people in the market, and if there were beautiful women, they would be sent to the brothel, and the rest would be brought over to be miners.

I sent another message to Xuanyuan Aotian, encouraging him to continue looking for gold mines, and he accounted for 10% of the gold mined.

Then, I drove straight to the helm of the Evil Tigers.

When I entered the door, I saw that the environment of the helm was very different from yesterday, not only was it cleaned inside and out, but there were also tables and chairs and other furniture in the house.

I set up the largest hall in the middle as a justice hall, and the original kitchen was still a kitchen, and the other rooms were set up as reception rooms, practice rooms, dining rooms, and warehouses according to their sizes.

I sent a message to my companions, ordering them to come to the helm to renovate, renovate what should be renovated, repair what should be repaired, and buy anything that is missing.

I was very interested in the practice room, so I went in and studied it after I was busy with all these trivial things.

According to the system prompts, the practice room is a place for NPCs to improve their level, rank, martial arts, and loyalty.

NPCs can increase their level by one day of martial arts training, and they can spend money to increase the speed, ranging from 5 to 20 taels, and they can upgrade up to 5 levels a day.

Of course, if you have enough money, you can also directly exchange gold for level, 100 taels of gold level 1, and level 500 capped.

After the NPC reaches level 500, you can continue to spend money to upgrade its level, ordinary to elite 1,000 taels, elite to boss 2,000 taels, boss to super boss 3,000 taels, super boss to ultimate boss 4,000 taels.

In addition to the NPC's own unique martial arts that can be retained and enhanced, it is also possible to select a certain specialization for them to be cultivated in a targeted manner, such as ranged, melee and healing.

If you want to further enhance your combat effectiveness, you can also buy martial arts books and skill books for NPCs to learn.

I looked at the cheats available and found that they could only be used by NPCs, and I couldn't learn them myself, and I couldn't resell them.

I regret that there is no cavalry specialization, and the advantages of cavalry in the age of cold weapons are self-evident, and I think that the system may not allow the gang to be strong enough to stand up to the state apparatus.

Loyalty is increased based on the amount of time spent in the practice room, and generally speaking, NPCs are loyal enough to stay in for a few days and never betray the gang.

I should recruit some mercenaries to put them in the training room and practice slowly, and after a while, it will be a very sharp armed force, I secretly said in my heart.

So, I immediately contacted all the shopkeepers under my command and ordered them to add another item to the façade advertisement: recruit people with strong martial arts skills, with an annual salary of 100 taels of gold and a maximum of 1,000 taels.

In fact, in the past two days, some NPCs have taken the initiative to join the gang, but there are few of them, and the climate has not been formed, I think it may be because the word "heavy money" was not added before, as long as it is tempted, I believe that more NPCs will come to defect.

Sure enough, I received more than 50 NPCs in less than half an hour, and the application letters for joining the gang kept coming in.

I was very busy while directing the renovation operations of my companions and collecting people.

It didn't take long for the number of NPCs recruited to exceed 200, and the number of gangs reached 4 figures.

For each person I collect, I will determine the amount of commission according to their rank and rank, and I will advance 1/4 of the annual salary.

At the same time, there was good news from Lanzhou: She Tianyang had led more than 2,000 hungry people on the way back.

I informed all the NPC gangs to go to the main rudder, intending to let them go into the practice room to improve.

As the number of people continued to increase, the general rudder was squeezed to the brim.

I immediately decided to spend 10,000 taels of gold to expand the main rudder and build 100 20-meter-square practice rooms, each of which can accommodate 50 people.

I think the team of 5,000 people is large enough to meet the demand for a long time.

Although the price of the main rudder expansion is a bit cheap, in the long run I think it is worth spending some money in this area.

Fortunately, the system finally collected the money and did something practical, and the expansion project was completed in an instant, so my mercenary army was able to be settled.

After receiving nearly 500 NPC gangs, the recruitment process came to an end, and I no longer received application letters, so I arranged the collected gangs into the newly built practice rooms 1-10.

I think long-range attacks are very important, and it is a very effective tactical means to kill a large number of enemies before a head-on confrontation.

I set up the 200 NPCs in rooms 1-4 as ranged specializations, and each spent 10 taels of gold to equip them with a longbow with a large range, 2 pots with a total of 100 arrows and 1 waist knife.

The reason why the archer is equipped with a knife is because the tragic experience of the opponent's archer during the previous attack on the gold mine reminded me that if the archer has a knife, he can launch a counterattack even if he is close to the opponent, and he will not sit still.

It costs money to open the second specialization, 1000 taels per person, I don't think it's necessary at the moment, as the main purpose of melee combat as an archer is self-defense, and it doesn't need much lethality.

In the future, according to the needs of actual combat, not to mention the 2nd specialization, the 3rd and 4th will also have to be fully opened, I thought to myself.

I set the 200 NPCs in rooms 5-8 as a ranged specialization, and each of them spent 20 taels equipped with a more advanced beaded crossbow, 4 boxes of 200 arrows, and 1 waist knife.

The price of the crossbow is relatively expensive, and the awesome thing is that it can fire 50 arrows in a row, and shoot an arrow every time you pull the bracket, which is equivalent to a semi-automatic rifle, after 1 box of 50 arrows is fired, you can replace the second box within a few seconds, like changing the magazine, which is very convenient and fast.

The crossbowman has relatively little power, which is suitable for mid-range kills, and when combined with the archer, it has a wider strike area.

I put the 100 highest-level NPCs that I had screened in advance into rooms 9 and 10, and I set them up as defense masters, each with a large iron shield and a single blade for 10 taels.

The role of these shieldmen is to erect shields in the front row to protect the archers and crossbowmen, and once the enemy rushes into the battle, they will be faced with a single sword, and I reluctantly spent 100,000 taels of gold to open the second qualification for them, and set it up as a melee mastery, greatly enhancing their hand-to-hand combat ability, because they will be responsible for protecting the crossbowmen and themselves.

The practice room can not only improve the level of the character, but also continuously improve the level of martial arts, although each specialization has some rough kung fu, but it is far from sharp enough, in view of this, I gritted my teeth and decided to buy the corresponding cheats for everyone, so that they can practice these martial arts as soon as possible.

The crossbowmen spent 100 taels each, and the shieldmen 200 taels each, which was another lot of money, and I felt my heart bleed.

In the end, I set each person to spend 20 taels a day to upgrade to level 5, and I didn't directly use money to buy the level - there was no war at the moment, so I didn't rush to improve their character level, so I let them slowly boil in the practice room.

For the next 1 hour or so, I worked on the expansion work, building a new gate, courtyard wall, kitchen, dining room and warehouse for the main rudder, which is large enough to handle the daily operation of tens of thousands of people.

When I was done, I stood at the gate and looked at my masterpiece from afar, and a sense of accomplishment came to me.

I summoned the chariot and sped around the 200-meter-square yard after the expansion, and then drove away.

I left the helm with a sense of satisfaction, but it didn't take long to feel empty, like my wallet.

Although I feel very sorry for this large amount of money, I firmly believe that it is a necessary investment.
