"This token can go anywhere under Ruan Yu's name, and the property expenses are completely free, and the granary of Qianzhuang can withdraw 20,000 taels of silver and 10,000 quintals of grain every month." Nguyen Muyu explained the role of this token!

Twenty thousand taels! A soldier's salary is five taels a month! Then Xiangyan can stably maintain the military salary of 4,000 people, and this price is not the price of ordinary miscellaneous troops, but the price of elite soldiers!

"Young Master Ruan, are there any places in Wuzhou City where you can secretly recruit troops?" Xiangyan asked, Ming's recruitment is definitely not good, and Wu Fan is not a fool, how could she allow her to recruit troops on her own territory, so she can only come secretly, so she has to ask Ruan Yu, who knows the market of things and things!

"Winery, casinos, and the black market are all gathering places for talented people, so Xiang Gongzi might as well go to those places."

Not only soldiers, weapons, armor, and war horses are also issues that Xiangyan should consider, so she can't even maintain a force of 4,000 people.

"Then what is the price of horses, swords, bows, crossbows, guns, halberds, and armor now?" Xiangyan asked again.

"Ordinary horses are about thirty-five taels and one horses, ordinary war horses are more than seventy-five taels, and horses are hard to find, a short knife is four taels of silver, a sword is about the same, a bow is two taels of silver, an arrow is eight taels of silver, a pair of crossbows is ten taels of silver, a spear is two taels of silver, a pair of halberds are four taels of silver, a halberd is three taels of silver, a rattan armor is two taels of silver, a piece of armor is twenty taels of silver, and a set of eighty taels of silver is fully armored." Ruan Muyu said casually, the price of goods is handy for him, maybe this is the special skill of businessmen.

Have a Midas touch!

Listening to Ruan Muyu's offer, Xiangyan became more and more empty!

An ordinary soldier's sword with rattan armor costs eleven taels!

Twenty-five bows and arrows need four taels, considering that hand-to-hand combat also needs a sword, that is, eight taels, and if you don't match armor, an archer needs thirteen taels!

The pikemen want nine taels!

The halberd soldier costs ten taels!

The strongest cavalry in the field! The minimum configuration is forty-six taels!

Although the monthly expenses given by Ruan Yu are already a huge amount of money, this is simply a drop in the bucket for recruitment, and the initial investment is so huge, and the depreciation of weapons, the grain and grass of horses, and the replenishment of arrows must be considered.

I really don't know how those poor emperors raised troops in the past! Do you generate electricity with love!

"Young Master Ruan, where can I buy the weapons and horses?"

"There are more or less blacksmiths, weapons shops, and horses, but there are few in the city! Wuzhou is a watery land, and there are only a thousand horses in my Ruan Mansion, if Xiang Gongzi wants to buy horses, he can wait for the horse merchants to arrive in the second half of the year. ”

Although Wuzhou has a lot of water, it does not mean that there is no land, as long as there is land, you can use cavalry, the impact of cavalry on the war situation, can not be estimated, often many wars rely on cavalry charges to boost morale!

"Guan Duyi, the matter of recruiting soldiers will be handed over to you! If you go to the black market for a walk first, you will say that the helpers who collect sail materials will have a monthly salary of five taels of silver! If you feel that your physical fitness is qualified, bring it to Muyu Inn. ”

"Hehe, leave it to me!" Guan Quanyi gladly accepted.

"Chunyi, you come with me to the weapon shop on the street to have a look."

"Okay, Brother Zilan."

Xiangyan said to Ruan Muyu again: "Thank you Ruan Gongzi for your help!" I will use time to prove that you will make the right choice, so please wait and see what happens! ”

Although Ruan Muyu did not explicitly say that he joined Xiangyan's command, at least he contributed money and food, and he secretly helped Xiangyan.

"It's just a little money." Ruan Muyu said with a bold face.

"That incense said goodbye." Xiangyan led Guan Duyi and Li Chunyi to turn around.

"Xiang Gongzi, Ruan will send you, you can't get out of this organ." Ruan Muyu said to Xiangyan's departing back.

When Xiangyan heard this, she stopped, this passage was indeed mysterious, it was really like a secret passage on TV, the wall would move!

"Speaking of which, this passage is quite mysterious, and the wall will move on its own!" Xiangyan and Ruan Muyu walked side by side and talked.

"This mechanism was designed by Xu Ce, a man in the wilderness in Pingshan, and Ye Jiuli, a strange genius who doesn't know the origin! Then I used a door-sized extraterrestrial meteorite to hire the ingenious craftsman of Suzhou City-Li Xiang to build it! Ruan Muyu's eyes lit up and he said proudly.

"Xu Ce and Ye Jiuli I have heard Zhuge Xian say, and he also asked me to win over these two talents, as for who is that Li Xiang?"

"Analogy! Li Xiang's name can be compared with the craftsman Lu Weiguo, who forged the sword of the Son of Heaven a hundred years ago, and even surpassed it, and was nicknamed Heavenly Craftsman. As for what Brother Xian said about wooing Xu Ce and Ye Jiuli, I think it's a bit difficult. Ruan Muyu looked yearning when he talked about Li Xiang, and when he talked about it, he became embarrassed when he wanted to win over Xu Ce and Ye Jiuli.

"Why? Do these two have any special fetishes? Please also ask Ruan Gongzi to explain in detail, I have a good preparation. ”

Ruan Muyu nodded and said: "Ye Jiuli's whereabouts are uncertain, he is a quirk, when he designed the channel for me, he didn't pay a lot of money and only asked me for a white water grass, you can know that he doesn't value money, I wanted to treat him as a guest, and he didn't accept it, you know, Ruan Yu's guests are much heavier than the official position, from this it can be seen that he doesn't value fame and fortune, so a person who doesn't value money and fame and fortune, how can he intervene in the battle of the world?" ”

"As for that Xu Ce Xu Luo? He is a celebrity in our Wuzhou, he lives in a small bamboo forest on Pingshan Island with his brother Xu Zhan, his brother Xu Zhan is also a celebrity, ten years ago, Wuzhou was not out of the jurisdiction of Daqin, and the two brothers were promoted to be able people and recruited by the imperial court, but they refused, and they refused every year, for five years! Xu Ce is a master who loves money, regards money as life, everyone knows, but it is really a gentleman who loves money, and he takes it in the right way, I once wanted to invite him as a guest, and the salary of a thousand taels of silver per month was rejected by him, he only asked me to ask me for five hundred taels of silver when he helped me design the channel, and the five hundred taels I heard that he bought winter clothes and food and rice and gave them to the women and children who fled to Pingshan Island. ”

Xiangyan listened to Ruan Muyu's evaluation of Ye Jiuli and Xu Ce, let's not talk about the quirky Ye Jiuli, but the kind Xu Ce can still fight for it!

"Since that Xu Ce can help others, why did Ruan Gongzi say that it was a bit difficult to invite him to join me."

"You don't understand until you see him." Ruan Muyu shook his head and said.

"Then which one is better than that Xu Ce or Zhuge Xian?"

Ruan Muyu still shook his head and said: "Brother Xian is scheming, elusive, all the plans are self-interested, Xu Ce is sleek, equal to each other, and the strategies he thinks about are all win-win plans, these two people can't be compared." ”

It turns out that Zhuge Xian has been so bad-hearted before, and it is not aimed at Xiangyan.

"What about his brother Xu Zhan? What kind of person is he? ”

I've inquired about everything, so I'm just going to ask about it.

"Xu Zhan, the word Mengshou, is completely different from Xu Ce, he is a martial artist, I have seen his demeanor when he competed in Wuzhou City three years ago, whether it is a heads-up or a melee! No one can hurt him in the slightest, all the people who have fought with him can't help his invulnerable defense, as long as the hand-to-hand combat, the opponent's weapon will be broken in two, his treasure knife is made by Li Xiang with the extraterrestrial meteorite iron that he took from me, it is extremely sharp, and the iron is like clay. ”

After Guan Duyi heard Xu Zhan's deeds, he showed a eager look, he wanted to fight with that Xu Zhan!

"Is Xu Zhan easy to recruit?" Xiangyan asked.

"I heard that whoever can break through his defenses within ten moves, he will be loyal to whom, Wu Fan once tried, but returned in vain, it is rumored that Xu Zhan has a third eye - the eye of the heart."

I see, two strange and one Erlang God.

……

"General Lu, how is the armor training?" Zhuge Xian walked into the school field and saw that Lu Yong was training, so he stepped forward.

There are a total of 5,000 soldiers in the school field, of which more than 1,600 are the original troops, more than 200 are men from the five villages, and the rest are all brought in by Zhuge Xian from the outside.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while." Ziying said on the side.

"A month." Lu Yong replied.

It will take at least a month for them to become real combat power!

"How is the boy making weapons and arrows?" Zhuge Xian then asked Ziying.

"Counting all the blacksmiths in the five villages, the short knife produces 100 arrows per day and 500 arrows per day, but the materials are far from keeping up with the speed of our construction, and the remaining materials are less than ten days." Ziying shook her head. The foundry he was in charge of could be faster, but the iron ore was far from enough!

"Don't worry, Zhibo can bring back a little bit when he goes to Yingmin Mansion to purchase...... I don't know what happened to the lord in Wuzhou City. Lu Yong looked at Nanfang Dao.

"As expected, the owner of the incense village should have a relationship with Ruan Yu."

"Miss Xiang is five hundred miles away in Wuzhou City, how can Mr. Zhuge know?" Ziying teased.

Zhuge Xian smiled and said nothing, everything would be as written in his letter, just a little help. Ruan Yu, he knows too well! Xiangyan also figured out his temperament.

A man who is rich and has everything.

A woman who has nothing and no scruples.

"Mr. Zhuge , how many people do you think the lord can develop this time?" Lu Yong asked.

"Five hundred." Zhuge Xian chuckled.

"Five hundred? Wouldn't it be too dangerous for the lord to act as an insider? Lu Yong looked worried, five hundred, if they don't cooperate properly, Xiangyan's five hundred soldiers will be surrounded by 30,000 enemy troops! No matter how much Xiangyan arranges the formation, she can't escape!

"General Lu, the soldiers led by the lord of Xiangzhai are by no means comparable to the soldiers of Jiutongzhai, and the soldiers led by the lord of Xiangzhai are not many soldiers but still have soldiers, this General Lu knows." Zhuge Xian shook the goose feather fan as usual, he had seen Xiangyan's formation.

"I know this, but the soldiers of Jiutongzhai all obey the orders of the lord, and I am afraid that the recruits will inevitably be heroes and break the lord's formation." The brothers of Jiutongzhai are all trained by Lu Yong all year round, and when they encounter large-scale battles, they are much stronger than other cottages, and can even surpass some rebels.

"General Lu should not worry about the sky, believe in the owner of the incense village, if this difficulty will stump her, doesn't this prove that General Lu and Zai Xia have mistaken her."

Lu Yong nodded and returned to guide among the soldiers.

Zhuge Xian also looked at the south for a while, thoughtful.
