Chapter 130: Leaving Black Mist City
The captain of the pro-guard army deliberately paused for a while, and only then slowly read out loud in the worried looks of the group of people in front of him: "...... requirements for this recruitment"
As if on purpose, the captain of the pro-guard army gasped for breath after reading the first sentence of the line, so that groups of people who were about to join the army wanted to beat him violently.
There were even some men who glared at him viciously, and said in their hearts: "If I can't beat you, if it weren't for the strict rules in the city, I would be punished for fighting, even if I knew that I couldn't beat you, I would have to spit on you!" ”
Several other guards standing next to him looked at the actions of their captain, and a strange smile appeared on their faces, and an older guard, almost thirty years old, shook his head and smiled: "The captain is still young and fun-loving. ”
"Haha, Melbourne, the captain is only 19 years old, and it's normal to be noisy, as long as you don't make trouble during the battle, you usually make trouble, it's fine." Another young guard next to him replied with a smile, looking at the excessively young man standing in front of the table with a smile.
"Okay, okay, don't be annoyed, listen to me carefully!" The young captain of the pro-guard army laughed and shouted loudly: "This time there is a change from the last time, only 15-25 years old people are recruited, and there are no chaotic men and women!" As for the criteria for joining the army...... The standard for males is ...... Those who have only children in the family do not accept it, those who are newly married do not accept it, and those who have young children in the family do not accept it. And the female standard ...... If there are no brothers in the family, if there are more than three sisters in the family, one person can be allowed to join the army, if there is one brother and three sisters, then two women can be allowed to join the army, and the other two are the same as men, newly married women are not accepted, and those with young children in the family are not accepted. And orphans have no conditions, as long as they are of the right age and pass the examination, both men and women can join the army. ”
Hearing such conditions for joining the army, everyone on the spot was stunned.
This makes it difficult for many people to accept, some people in the Yulan Continent get married very early, and they may be married at the age of 16, and this kind of person is obviously not suitable for joining the army.
There is another person, who has young children in the family, basically in their 20s, there are also some of them, and they are brushed off, so there will be very few suitable people.
Confused!
Immediately, the people in line at the recruitment point shouted, and a young man of about 20 years old shouted: "This is not fair, this is discrimination against those of us who are already married, and I demand that the conditions for recruitment be revised." ”
"yes, that's not fair." Many people also shouted loudly.
"Fair?" The captain of the pro-guard army laughed, "In my opinion, this recruitment condition is the fairest and most suitable standard, think about it yourself, did you just get married, let your wife stay at home and stay alone in the empty room, and then go to join the army alone?" Do you think this is appropriate? Also, if you have young children at home, you must know that joining the army means fighting, if you are unlucky and sacrificed, can you leave the orphans and widows to live? This is irresponsible to the family, adding a family of orphans and widows to us, so don't feel that these conditions are unfair, you know, these conditions are set by adults, and we have no power and dare not change them. ”
Listening to the words of the captain of the pro-guard army, many people are also seriously considering, the situation is really as the other party said, war is to kill people, once you join the army, you will die of bad luck, although the family has no worries, will not run for a living, but it is inevitable...... A woman and a son who have lost their husbands will always be looked down upon.
Government Affairs Center!
Serge also had some doubts about the recruitment conditions this time, which were too decisive and cruel, and stifled many people's desire to become stronger.
He also asked what was in his mind, hoping that Munro would give him some answers.
Monroe smiled and said, "What's so confusing about this, don't you know that our Maple Leaf County last time passed through the First Battle of Morriel, and added more than 200,000 orphans and widows to the family?" There are more than 20,000 families in Black Mist City alone, so there is a reason for the adults to set such conditions, and the adults probably don't want to see such a situation happen again in their own territory, that scene is too worrying and sad! ”
A few days ago, when the Heroes Monument was completed, there were many young women among the people who came to participate in the sacrifice, and they were accompanied by young children who were several years old, and even could not walk.
"Besides, if there are young children in the family and you join the army and die, it is very likely that your wife will remarry, that is, there is another man who takes your money, beats your baby, and sleeps with your wife, are you willing?" Monro teased at the end.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in this hall, and Serge looked at Monroe's eyes full of strange colors, and said in his heart: "Lord Monroe, you are a little naughty!" Is this really good? ”
However, on a deeper level, there is nothing wrong with what Lord Monroe said, as he said, he will not stop the payment of reinstatement pensions because the wife of the sacrificial sergeant is remarried, after all, the sacrificial sergeant can no longer fulfill the responsibilities of the husband, and the remarriage of the wife is inevitable.
It is exactly what Lord Monro said, other men take your blood and tears money to beat your baby and sleep with your wife, which is unimaginable for men.
No man, he thought, could stand such a thing.
The previous mistake has already been made, and the next one cannot be repeated.
In this recruitment, the people in the entire force were even more enthusiastic than the last recruitment, and in less than five days, the number of millions of recruits had been fully recruited, even exceeding the rated number of tens of thousands of recruits.
If it weren't for the three standard conditions, it is estimated that millions of recruits would be recruited within a day, and people are so enthusiastic that the young people who gather around the recruitment point every day are blocked most of the time and can't walk.
This situation made some merchants talk about it with relish, and it also made several surrounding principalities nervous.
The big devil with huge ambitions in Maple Leaf County has started a new round of recruitment, and this time the number of recruits is so large that they are afraid in their hearts, millions of soldiers, what is this trying to do?
The high-level leaders of each principality knew that the other party was preparing for a new round of expansion, and suddenly, the principality bordering the three counties of Chengbuyun in the territory of influence secretly came into contact, and even the forces that wanted to stab the two principalities of Lan Yan and Proud Wolf when they were weak had stopped.
For Wright Cloud, a huge force that is already forming, many principalities are full of fear.
However, the top brass of several principalities were thinking about one thing, a million soldiers, with each other's low taxes, could really feed such a large number of sergeants?
Even if they occupy the super county of Andali County, there is a lot of territory, but the tax is too low to be negligible, is it preparing to enter the Demon Beast on the road to the Dark Forest to ensure the expenditure of the treasury?
In fact, the commercial tax of Maple Leaf County is still very good, the number of three people has increased more than ten times compared to the time when Jace was in power, and the commercial tax of Maple Leaf County alone has more than two million gold coin transaction taxes this month, so you can imagine how many people there are.
Many adventurers from other counties have migrated to Maple Leaf County, and the monster skins, magic cores, and medicinal herbs obtained from the adventures are basically bought and sold in Maple Leaf County.
It will get better and better in the future!
Business taxes will get higher and higher.
September 1st!
The pro-guards, dressed in mighty armor and equipment, rode horses in two columns in the aristocratic district in front of the city lord's mansion, waiting for the arrival of departure time.
"Uncle, I've already packed up, the things I should bring have been completely packed, and the fluffy Warcraft puppets that my uncle gave me, we also packed them into the box without leaking, hehe!" The chubby chick ran over with an excited smile on her face.
She seemed happy that she was going to leave Black Mist City and go somewhere else to play.
Wright touched her head and said with a smile: "Why, are you so happy to leave Black Mist City?" ”
"No, that's my uncle leaving, and I was forced to leave." The little chubby girl pinched her little finger and denied it with a sly face.
Hehe smiled, Wright Buyun did not debunk the little chubby girl's insincere words.
After reporting that everything was ready, he left the city lord's mansion where he had lived for nearly five months with the fat girl, with the one wearing armor and carrying weapons and shields...... A number of thousands of maids walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Your Excellency!"
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Meng Luo and other high-ranking officials saw Cheng Buyun come out and saluted respectfully.
"Well, I'm leaving, and Maple Leaf County will rely on you in the future." Wright smiled gently and said, "When everything is settled, Monro will come to me again to listen and do things." ”
"Yes, sir." Munro didn't say much, he had already said what he had to say.
Under everyone's bow, Wright Buyun took the little chubby girl and his clothes into the very atmospheric and luxurious huge carriage.
This carriage is five meters long and two meters wide, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small house, it is a luxury carriage built by Monro after Wright Buyun said that he wanted to leave the Black Mist City and go to the mud-sealed town thousands of miles away.
"Clayton, you have to take care of the adults." Munro finally gave an explanation, then left the carriage and closed the door for it.
"I will." Clayton nodded solemnly, turned over and got on his horse, and the other maids who followed also rode on horseback, for the maids who had a foundation, riding a horse was easy and not difficult!
"Let's go!"
With everyone watching, Clayton let out a loud shout and began to slowly urge Ryoma under him in front of the carriage. The two maids who were driving the carriage drank softly in their mouths, and waved their horsewhips at the same time, driving the eight horses pulling the cart.
The sound of horses' hooves on the big stone slabs 'Boom! Boom! 'Walking slowly with a sound.
There were several people standing at the door of each mansion on both sides of the streets of this aristocratic district, and these nobles knew that Wright Buyun, a powerful man, was leaving Black Mist City, so of course they had to come out to see him off.
If you don't do this, there will be no place for a group of people from Monro to wear small shoes and cry.
A huge number of processions left the aristocratic area, on both sides of the main road, on the rooftops, on the side of the street, on some big trees, and even on the roofs of some shops, several storey hotels and other places, and the people of Black Mist City stood one after another.
They spontaneously sent out to see off this great man who had been of great help to them, and Wright Buyun was in the hearts of all the people, a messenger sent by the gods, and a person who saved himself and others from the abyss.
The adults are leaving Black Mist City, of course they have to come to give them a ride, for their own gratitude!
"If you do this, that's it." Some merchants couldn't help but sigh deeply in their hearts as they watched the spontaneous behavior of the people in the city, this kind of sobriety, they had only seen it in the territory ruled by the Holy Alliance, but it was far worse than Black Mist City in terms of scale.
"Yes, I have been doing business in Black Mist City for a long time, and since this Lord Wright-in-Bulin came, it has become better and better day by day, and there is a happy smile on the faces of these civilians, which is a happy smile from the heart, so everyone's gratitude to Lord Wright-in-Mind can not be said for three days and three nights." An old local businessman, dressed well, looked at the huge carriage that was slowly approaching, and a somewhat happy smile appeared on his face.
The people's lives are better, they have surplus money, their consumption has become generous, and their businessmen have done a lot better, and in the past few months, he has earned more wealth than in the previous year, especially in the last month, and the money he earned can withstand the profits of the past six months.
Although the number of merchants in the entire Maple County has increased and the competition is very large, as long as the business is done properly, it is still relatively easy to make some money, and there is rarely a time when it loses money.
It's just a matter of earning more and earning less.
