Xiang Xiaotian, Su Mei'er, and Tang Mengling hunted for March with a demonic concoction in the deepest part of the Demon Mountain Range, and the high-grade demonic beast essence blood collected can almost be described as massive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, even if it is an army of 20,000 people, there will be no problems in a short time.

Moreover, there is no need for long-term support, only a period of cultivation, and these 20,000 people are already far superior to ordinary armies! When the time comes, they will all be strong men, and their strength will be infinite.

Moreover, the stronger the physical strength, the stronger the vitality will be, and the enemy may be unable to move if they receive the same damage, but these warriors with strengthened physical bodies can continue to fight, which is also a huge advantage.

Xiang Xiaotian continued: "Since I fed them high-level demonic beast essence blood, the effect is also obvious, it only takes a period of time to cultivate, and these 20,000 people will become an existence whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers." At this time, we will equip them with weapons and armor mixed with fine iron, Uncle Lin, you say, how strong will this army be? ”

Lin Buregret was greatly surprised, and asked in surprise: "Xiaotian, your idea is good, but every soldier is equipped with weapons and equipment mixed with fine iron, which is too expensive!" You must know that the price of one catty of refined iron is 10,000 gold coins, even if a weapon is only mixed with one catty of refined iron, then 20,000 people are 20,000 catties of refined iron. That's a full 200 million gold coins! Not counting the cost and other materials! Counted, 300 million gold coins are indispensable. ”

Lin Buregret paused, and then said: "Now let's talk about armor, if the soldiers are equipped with full-body armor, then the area and volume are much larger than the weapons, then at least two catties of refined iron must be mixed in to have an obvious effect." 20,000 people is the cost of 400 million gold coins. Coupled with the cost of other materials and craftsmen, 600 million gold coins are indispensable. The cost of weapons and armor adds up, starting at least a billion gold coins!! Where can we get so much money? ”

Xiang Xiaotian pursed his lips, looked at Lin Buregret's eyes, and pretended to be mysterious: "Uncle Lin, what if I say that I have an ability that can instantly refine pig iron into refined iron?" Isn't this a great cost saving? ”

Lin Buregret was puzzled, frowned and asked, "Instantly refining pig iron into refined iron?" How is this possible? Even the world's most powerful casting master, to extract fine iron from pig iron, it also costs a huge price. Otherwise, refined iron can be extracted casually, how can it be so expensive? It's already rotten on the street! ”

Xiang Xiaotian's eyes released a confident light, and he said firmly: "Uncle Lin just believes in me, now Uncle Lin only needs to find me a rich iron ore vein to solve the problem of essence blood!" Moreover, the weapons and armor we cast for the soldiers are not just mixed with one or two catties of fine iron, but only dozens of catties to start, which can greatly improve the power of the soldiers' weapons and armor! ”

Lin Buregret showed an extremely shocked look, Xiang Xiaotian really had a way to turn pig iron into refined iron in an instant? That's really against the sky! Excitedly: "In that case, it really only takes an iron vein to solve the problem of refined iron?" ”

Xiang Xiaotian nodded, "Hmm! ”

Lin Buregret was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Xiao Tianxian's nephew will wait for two days, and I will send someone to find out where there are ore veins around." As long as we find out the news, we will go straight ahead, and if we can negotiate to buy it, then buy it! If you can't buy it, you can take it directly by force, how can you say that this world is still the most powerful! ”

Xiang Xiaotian acquiesced, if Lin Buregret helped inquire about the news of the iron ore vein, it should not be a few days before the result was obtained.

Then he said: "Solving the problem of iron ore veins, Uncle Lin, let's discuss and solve the problem of craftsmen." I have a top master of sword forging here, and although I haven't seen him forge other weapons and armor, I think he can be so well forged with his sword that other weapons and armor should not be difficult for him. With this master's check, the quality of the weapons and armor cast can be absolutely assured. But the problem is that the master alone can't forge so many weapons and armor, so he must recruit more craftsmen to help the master. ”

Lin Buregret thought for a while and said, "In our Fengtian City City, there are some blacksmiths, but the number is definitely not enough. Otherwise, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild and post information and recruit blacksmiths at a high price. I think that as long as the price is high enough, craftsmen from all over the world will come to apply. ”

Xiang Xiaotian nodded in agreement, and then proposed: "Not only is the salary of the craftsman higher than the normal level, but even our soldiers' salaries must be paid three times, because next, I need Uncle Lin to train them as devils!" The more brutal the training, the better, and many people will definitely not be able to accept this kind of high-intensity training, so they will choose to quit. ”

"This is the necessity of the Canadian army's salary, and those who are willing to stay and receive training can receive a higher salary than any army! In this way, they will not suffer if they suffer a little, they are willing to fight and suffer, and there is no complaint! If you don't want to stay, then there is no need to force you to stay, and if you can't endure hardship, it will be a disaster for us to stay in the army! And under the enhancement of the essence blood of the Warcraft, I believe that no matter how strong the training is, they should be able to withstand it! There will be no negative effects on their body. ”

Soldiers follow anyone to fight in the army, from birth to death, especially this kind of city-state army, most of which are still supported by interests. Basically, it's only a little better than a mercenary. Mercenaries are all about money, and the city-state soldiers are at least supported by the belief in defending their cities.

But if you can't see hope, you usually live in poverty, you are poor to death, you can't support yourself, you can't come up with money to subsidize your family, not to mention your own living nest, and no one in the township can afford these soldiers!

So, without a monetary reward, it is absolutely impossible! Therefore, Xiang Xiaotian's suggestion of raising military salaries is absolutely correct, and the only problem is that if military salaries are raised by such a large margin, expenditures are bound to increase by a large margin, and whether they can afford such high military expenditures is a question.

Lin Buregret frowned slightly, and put forward his opinion: "Hiring a craftsman with a high salary, this expense is very large, but it can barely be afforded. After all, recruiting 1,000 to 2,000 craftsmen is almost enough. But if the army of 20,000 people is paid three times the current salary, this expenditure is extremely huge! Uncle Lin's family background may not last for a few months. ”

Xiang Xiaotian took the initiative to say: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I don't have a lot of gold coins, but I can still get one or two hundred million gold coins, which should be enough to support two or three years." ”
