Chapter 283: Conscription and the Opening of the Tavern
In the afternoon, Ari went to the barracks outside the city.
In the past few days, Tolkien's order has been delivered, and it is more generous than Ari imagined, except for the open space he wanted, even the mountains behind it have been directly divided into Gal territory.
Of course, this is also a gesture of generosity.
To put it simply, in the official documents of the kingdom, the Kawagebo Mountains can be regarded as the garden of the Gard territory. From the city of Atlanta from the west, until it goes out of the territory of the kingdom of Barak, it can be regarded as a fief of Gar.
However, regardless of whether the Kawagebo Mountains belong to the territory of the Barak Kingdom or not, if Gar really takes the Kawagebo Mountains as his own private property and controls the mountains, it is estimated that the next day, the coalition forces of various countries will conquer it......
Of course, Ari didn't want to monopolize the resources in the Kawagebo Mountains, what he wanted was for the kingdom to recognize the mountains as legitimate territory belonging to Garr, so that the griffons could have a secret place to roost.
And with the territory, the Young Pioneers can legally develop their own power, the technology tree can also begin to climb, and the magical industrial revolution will be carried out easily, and what kind of fruit will bear in the end, Ari himself dare not imagine.
According to common sense, a territory needs people and resources, and the more the better, only then will the territory become stronger and stronger.
However, Ari is not going to go the regular route, because he is going to build an elite city!
At present, except for the migrant workers who were temporarily recruited to build the Duke's Palace, there are only a few guards guarding the barracks, and the population is pitiful.
But despite this, iResearch has no intention of developing the population. With the exception of the two thousand people who will be drafted soon, there will be no chance of a large-scale increase in the population in the short term.
The city of elites is naturally composed of elites, and in the early stage, in addition to the military, all kinds of technical talents and magical talents are the largest source of population in the territory.
But these are all things to worry about in the future, he came here today, in addition to taking a look at the place on the spot, the second purpose is to come to inspect the recruitment situation of Gar with his own eyes, he wants to see what kind of moths his group of friends can play.
Just a few days ago, the notice of the conquest had been released, and Ari was busy fighting with Lotus for the inheritance, and he didn't pay attention to this matter, so when he walked to the West City Gate, he was shocked by the scene in front of him!
At a glance, the surging crowd is almost endless. When he pulled a passer-by and asked the reason, he suddenly looked uncomfortable.
The matter is really made up by Luo Lin, for no other reason, just one word, good welfare!
An ordinary soldier's salary can be 50 silver coins! The captain and above have doubled the salary! Moreover, there are three meals a day and two meals of meat!
As soon as this kind of treatment came out, not to mention ordinary people, even the middle and low-level officers of the garrison in the city were tempted, okay, if it weren't for the majesty of the commander, someone would have jumped ship.
But even so, the guards outside the base would receive notes from those officers asking about specific matters every day.
Not only the officers, but also the mercenary adventurers and even the farmers in several towns close to Atlanta City all put down what they were doing as soon as they heard the news and rushed over overnight.
Therefore, the endless crowd in front of Ari is all coming for the quota of the army, and Eri is afraid, if there is chaos, how many people will die.
He began to squeeze forward from the back of the line in a huff, and the crowd that was pulled away immediately glared at him with dissatisfaction, to see who dared to cut in line so blatantly.
Ari didn't care if they were satisfied or not, he had to hurry over and see the situation now, otherwise he really couldn't put his mind at ease.
By the time he squeezed out of the crowd, a vacant barracks had already been erected in the open space, and at the entrance of the barracks, the tables of the four conscription teams were placed more than ten meters apart from each other, and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers were guarding the order at the gate of the barracks
Only then did Ari know why those people looked at him so strangely just now, they were actually queuing!
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Ari walked directly to the barracks, some of the soldiers didn't know Ari, and wanted to stop him, but they were pulled by the people next to him, and when they heard Ari's identity, their bodies suddenly stood more upright...... They also want to join the pro-guard.
By the time Ari walked into the barracks, the selection had come to a standstill, and the four of Gal were engaged in a heated discussion on a high platform.
As soon as Ari walked over, he heard Yudo shouting in a loud voice: "According to me, you don't need to look at the strength below the second-level samurai, just eliminate it." ”
Lilia snorted coldly, and said expressionlessly: "Don't look at those second-level warriors everywhere, they are all running for officers, if you let them be soldiers, you see how many people are willing." ”
Eudora did not back down: "Then you can't even eliminate the second-level samurai, choose ordinary people." ”
Gal thought for a moment and made a compromise suggestion: "Either the officers are selected first, if the officers are full, those who are unwilling will leave, and those who are willing will be arranged as ordinary soldiers, and then evaluated every two months, everyone has the opportunity to challenge the officers." ”
Hearing this, Ari nodded silently, this idea can deal with this situation, he coughed twice, and walked towards the four of them.
"Boss! (Eri!)" The four Eudora shouted excitedly when they saw Ari
Ari waved his hand at them and said, "I've heard everything you said, and the general direction is right, but there are still things you haven't thought through. For example, can an officer be strong enough to be a strong officer? Will they command you, do you know? Do you know how many of these are spies sent by others?"
Ari's series of questions directly made the four of them stupid, and Eudora scratched her head and asked with a confused expression, "Will there be spies?"
Ari glanced at him, ignored him, and continued: "This time I didn't stop you in advance, just to let you know how important it is to have a plan before doing things, and you definitely can't just pat your head like this time. ”
Gal said with a distressed face: "Then what now, everyone is outside the barracks......
Eri said: "Ordinary soldiers will be selected two thousand first, experience in the army is preferred, long adventure time is preferred, strong strength is preferred, and all officer positions will be abolished, and only ordinary soldiers will be opened." Knights need to be certified by the knight union to obtain the title of knight is preferred, and it is not enough to choose the right person from the soldier to fill it. ”
Gal hesitated: "Two thousand ordinary soldiers? ”
In fact, fifteen hundred soldiers were beyond the scope of the guards, after all, soldiers and soldiers were fundamentally two different things. However, this is already an unspoken rule on the mainland, and no one accounts for this.
"Two thousand is just a pre-selection, and those spies and old fritter bastards among them have to be cleaned up, and the quota for five hundred singers should be about the same. ”
Lilia asked worriedly, "Don't choose officers, will anyone have an opinion? Many people are running for officers." ”
"If you have an opinion, you can hold it back for me, when you are here to be an uncle?" Ai Rui snorted coldly and said: "Officers will only be selected from all soldiers, and if they don't become soldiers first, they don't have the qualifications to become officers." ”
"What if someone is not selected as an officer and is not a soldier directly, and then he will have to find someone again. ”
Ari shook his head and sighed slightly. This time it seems that it was a bad decision to let them recruit themselves, and some of them have been fueled.
The army is different from other places, the army does not need thought, it only needs to obey, and in the army, these do not need to be worried at all.
However, Ari didn't tell them, after all, they are still in the period when the three views have not been established, and it is not a good thing to come into contact with these cold and iron-blooded things too early, in case he develops an extreme character, his sin will be great.
"Just do what I say, and after passing the assessment, ask them if they are willing to obey the arrangement, and tell them that they will be training in a closed environment for the next few months to a year, and they will not have contact with the outside world, including their families. If you are unwilling, you will be disqualified, and if you are willing, you will sign a contract, and during the training period, the military salary will be doubled and paid in advance in a lump sum. ”
The four of them nodded, and did not separate the selections, and directly ordered what Ai Rui had just said.
When the crowd in line got the news, it immediately caused an uproar, not because of the demands, but because the military salary was doubled again, and there was one gold coin a month!
Of course, there are also some people whose eyes flickered after hearing this, closed training, no contact with the outside world for a year, this regulation is a bit powerful, it is difficult to spread the news, is it worth delaying for a year.
So, although some people were more excited, some people quietly slipped out of the group, and this matter seems to be not so simple.
Ari did not wait for the conscription to end, and when the sun went down in the evening and the conscription was suspended, less than five hundred men were selected, of whom more than one hundred and fifty were knights.
Of course, this is also because of the peculiarities of the knight, after all, the knight certification is ready-made, as long as the authenticity of the badge is checked. Moreover, the knight is considered half a nobleman, in addition to the strength required, only through military exploits or being recruited by the great nobles can he have the opportunity to improve the knight title.
And there are too few nobles who have the qualifications to recruit knights, which is far from enough to meet the needs of the existing low-level knights. So just a few days after the conscription notice was issued, more than a hundred knights came to participate, and of course, there were many more knights on their way, after all, not all of them could just put things down and rush over.
Things have progressed to this point, and Ari will not have to interfere for the time being, and when the selection is over and the spy needs to be uncovered, it will not be too late for him to make a move.
The next day, the recruitment was still going on, and the Silvermoon Tavern was officially open on this day, and as long as the nobles in the city were up to standard, Ari asked Jeff to send an invitation to him.
Naturally, there is no reason to refuse this kind of thing, and even Viscount Miro, who also runs a tavern, did not refuse this invitation, and came to the reception with a happy face.
When the nobles arrived at the tavern, they were even more satisfied, only those who received the tavern invitation were able to enter and exit the tavern at will, and the rest of the people who wanted to enter the tavern also needed to charge a gold coin ticket!
Of course, the nobles didn't care about this gold coin, what they cared about was that their nobility was respected here, and there had never been a tavern that thought so much about the nobility, and they felt warm in their hearts.
Of course, Ai Rui did more than these for the nobles, and even the price was considered for the nobles, for fear that the price would be sorry for their identity.
The price of the whole drink starts at five gold coins, and the most expensive glass of wine even reaches two hundred and fifty gold coins!
Gal didn't go to the barracks today, and was pulled over by Eri to receive the nobles.
They were located in the Silvermoon Tavern Tianhuo Avenue store, which was the street where Algert's blacksmith shop was located, but compared to the location of the blacksmith shop inside, the tavern was located in the most conspicuous part of the avenue.
For this shop, Jeff personally visited several nobles, and finally paid a premium of 1.5 times to take it.
But it's all worth it, several shops together to open up the giant flagship store, the scale of the construction can make people who see it for the first time shocked!
Ari did not forget his bet with Henry, of course, in order to convince Henry, Ari did not use this flagship store to bet with him, but chose two other taverns of similar size as props for the competition.
Out of trust in the popularity of those bells and whistles, Ari simply sent a family samurai to serve as the store manager, so he didn't interfere more in the operation of the tavern, believing that no one but Galen could restrain the bells and whistles.
In the Tianhuo Avenue store, Ari and Gal brought the heavyweight nobles to the box on the second floor with a smile on their faces, and then asked everyone to give each person a glass of wine, and then left the box decisively.
After they left, the exclusive waiters who had been specially trained by Ari began to play a role, and thoughtful and appropriate words kept coming out of their mouths, bringing a different service experience to the nobles.
Finally, with the waiter's respectful smile, one gold coin after another was taken out of the nobles' pockets and exchanged for a rich wine.
In the lobby on the first floor, four bartenders are constantly busy, and although the service fee for each glass is one gold coin, the guests are still in an endless stream.
Looking at the guests on the booth, laughing and drinking glass after cup of gold coins, Ari felt that his heart was about to melt.
Although I don't know what the turnover is today, just looking at the rate of alcohol consumption, Ari feels that the day when he will become the richest man in Atlanta City is not far off.
Ai Rui felt a little sorry that he forgot that Teacher Shanglian came to see such a lively scene, but fortunately, it was not too late tomorrow...... Take a hundred times to read the latest chapter of "Super God Magician Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
