went to the kitchen to find some leftovers and ate them, Ye Tianlong checked his remaining points again, and found that there were only thirty points left, this epiphany function is easy to use, but the points are consumed too quickly.

According to the realm division of this world, if one of the strength and agility breaks through ten points, it can be regarded as an introduction to martial arts cultivation and become a martial artist at the first level of body forging.

Although this step is not difficult, ordinary martial artists need to practice for months to achieve it, but Ye Tianlong now relies on the epiphany function to do it in just a few minutes.

After Zhou Du found Ye Tianlong, who was secretly eating in the kitchen, he looked each other up and down a few times suspiciously, and said, "Young Master, you seem to have grown a little taller and stronger!" ”

Ye Tianlong also found that he had indeed grown a little taller under the other party's reminder, which should be related to the fact that his strength had just improved. This week is worthy of being the old housekeeper who has watched him grow up since he was a child, and the small changes that he hasn't noticed yet, but the other party can see it at a glance.

Originally, Ye Tianlong was only 1.7 meters 7, but now he should be 1.72 meters, and his body is much stronger, and he can see some muscle outlines on his body.

Ye Tianlong is very satisfied with the changes in his body, after all, as a man, who doesn't want to be able to become taller and stronger!

After hurriedly eating a few bowls of leftover rice and filling his stomach, Ye Tianlong quickly rushed to the barracks and asked Liu Meng about the progress of the recruitment work.

"Commander, the people of Cannes don't like to be soldiers! Our people shouted for a long time and didn't recruit a single one! ”

Hearing Liu Meng's answer, Ye Tianlong was also dumbfounded, he had expected that this recruitment work would not be so easy to carry out, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to recruit any of them.

The reason why Ye Tianlong expected that this soldier was not easy to recruit was not only because of the relatively rich city of Kangcheng, but also because of the corruption of officialdom in the Qinglong Empire during this period, and it coincided with the invasion of the enemy country, which led to the misery of the people, and the people were very disappointed in the incompetent high-level of the empire, and they did not want to join the army to fight hard for such a corrupt and incompetent empire.

After some detailed questioning, Ye Tianlong finally understood why Liu Meng didn't recruit a single soldier.

The other party actually only set up a recruiting point in this city, and there was no guarantee in terms of military salary, and the settlement fee was only three silver dollars.

Naturally, most of the people in this city are Cannes locals, and their living standards are good, at least food and clothing are guaranteed, so naturally they will not go to the army for just three silver dollars.

Ye Tianlong immediately ordered Liu Meng to set up recruitment points near the four city gates, where many people who fled from other places gathered, most of these people's hometowns have been occupied by the Spirit Snake Empire, and they have seen the ferocity and viciousness of these invaders, they should not be as insensitive as the locals of Cannes, as long as the conditions are right, they can still recruit a lot of qualified soldiers.

In terms of treatment, Ye Tianlong directly raised the settling-in allowance to the standard of ten silver dollars per person, and the military salary was also given a clear figure, two silver dollars per month. This kind of treatment is really good, after all, corruption is rampant in the Qinglong Empire now, even those Praetorian Guards in the capital, there are few troops who can pay the full amount of military salaries every month. And Ye Tianlong has said that he will definitely pay it in full every month.

In Liu Meng's opinion, his own head is crazy! You must know that the military department has not sent a penny of military expenses until now, and all this money is from the head of his own regiment! If you recruit according to this standard, even if it is according to the Ye family's financial resources, I am afraid that your vitality will be greatly damaged!

Of course, Ye Tianlong is not crazy, he also knows that the money spent on this will not be a small amount, but he doesn't care.

He had already remembered that it would not be long before this Kangcheng would be captured by the Blue Dragon Empire, and even if the Ye family had more property, it would all be robbed by the enemy, so it was better to spend it now and increase the combat power of this garrison in his hand.

After going back today, he plans to ask the housekeeper Zhou Du to start selling all the Ye family's properties in this Cannes one by one, and at least about one million silver dollars can be sold at that time, plus the cash money that the family has saved over the years, it should be enough for him to recruit troops and buy weapons and equipment.

Thinking of weapons and equipment, Ye Tianlong asked Liu Meng again if there were any guns sold in the black market in Cannes.

Liu Meng said that there are indeed some people in this black market who still have some guns in their hands, but firstly, there are not many of them, and secondly, these guys also see that the garrison regiment is in urgent need of weapons and equipment, so they call the price of these weapons higher than one another, and a most ordinary rifle dares to pay a price of hundreds of silver dollars.

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but scold the profiteers when he heard this, fortunately, in his memory, there was also a Huang old man with good hands and eyes, who specialized in selling these sensitive materials, and the other party could definitely get a large number of firearms.

However, the other party was in Goose City next door, so Ye Tianlong didn't go directly to the other party before, but planned to ask in Kangcheng to take a look, but now since these local profiteers in Kangcheng are so ignorant, then he can only go to Goose City to find this Huang master.

"Liu Meng, you go and call Huang San, I have something for him to do!"

Under Ye Tianlong's orders, a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance and a thin figure was quickly called in front of Ye Tianlong.

This guy's name is Huang San, and he is still a distant relative of that Huang master, so Ye Tianlong is ready to send the other party to invite that Huang master.

After carefully instructing Huang San, Ye Tianlong gave the other party ten silver dollars, and immediately sent the other party on the road.

After arranging everything, Ye Tianlong was ready to go home and continue to seize the time to cultivate.

On the way, he went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of great tonic medicines, after all, from his previous experience, in the process of cultivation and promotion, a lot of energy will be consumed, swallowing these great tonic medicines can well replenish the energy consumed, so that he will not have to eat several bowls of rice at every turn to be able to ease his strength.

Even Ye Tianlong thought about it, not only did he have to practice this martial arts, but his soldiers also had to practice together, but most of these soldiers under him were illiterate, and if they wanted to learn these exercises, I am afraid it would take a lot of effort.

After returning home, Ye Tianlong instructed Zhou Du to start selling all the properties and shops of the Ye family in this Cannes and exchanging them for cash.

In order to convince the old butler, Ye Tianlong told the other party that Kangcheng would soon be occupied by the Spirit Snake Empire, and if these properties were not sold as soon as possible, they would still have to be robbed by the enemy at that time.

Listening to Ye Tianlong's speculation, the old housekeeper Zhou Du was also very embarrassed, this Ye family finally worked hard in Cannes to build a huge industry, and now because of the invasion of the Spirit Snake Empire, they have to sell it all, and the money lost during this period is still a small matter, but the hard work of the previous generations of the Ye family is destined to be in vain!

Ye Tianlong, a passer-by who had just crossed over, didn't feel much about this, and after the old housekeeper Zhou Du finished talking about it, he came to the courtyard and began to practice various martial arts. After a night of cultivation, Ye Tianlong only increased his strength and agility attributes to seventeen points, but those medicinal materials bought from the pharmacy were really useful, Ye Tianlong felt hungry after practice, so he just took out a ginseng and nibbled a few bites.

After dawn, Ye Tianlong stopped his cultivation, changed into a military uniform and went to the barracks.

As a result, as soon as Ye Tianlong arrived, he was blocked by a group of soldiers.

"Regiment commander, I heard that our regiment is recruiting soldiers now, and we will directly give a settling-in allowance of ten silver dollars, and a military salary of two silver dollars per month, is this all true?"

After blocking Ye Tianlong, a veteran led by him immediately asked Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong knew what these guys thought when he heard this, you must know that when these veterans first joined the army, they didn't have so many settling-in allowances to receive, and most of the usual military salaries were deducted from above, and I don't know if there were two silver dollars in the sum of all the military salaries in a year! One by one, they are all so poor that they jingle loudly.

Now that I suddenly heard that the conditions for this recruitment have been raised so much at once, these veterans will definitely be jealous!

Ye Tianlong also counted on these soldiers to fight hard for him on the battlefield in the future! So naturally, I won't be stingy with this money.

So Ye Tianlong directly called Liu Meng and asked the other party to call the entire regiment of soldiers to the training ground.

After all the soldiers came, Ye Tianlong stood on the front platform and announced loudly to all the soldiers: "I have always been fair, and now that the treatment conditions of this recruitment have been improved, then you veterans will definitely not be an exception, everyone can get a settlement fee of ten silver dollars, as for the monthly military salary after that, if you want to continue to work with me, then it will definitely be paid in full every month, and there will definitely be no arrears!" If you don't want to follow me, then take the ten silver dollars and go home! Let's get together, brothers! ”

Hearing Ye Tianlong's words, all the soldiers' faces showed joy, but Guo Dafu, the commander of one of the battalions, asked strangely: "Regiment commander, what do you mean by your last sentence?" With this three silver dollars a month, who wouldn't want to do it with you? ”

"Lao Guo asked this question well! This is another thing I want to tell you, our regiment is about to go to the front line and fight with the army of the Spirit Snake Empire, this is a war, and it will really kill people, so I gave everyone a chance to choose. If anyone is afraid of death and wants to quit, it is not ashamed, to be honest, if it weren't for the order of the military department that has already reached my hands, the head of this regiment would want to step down immediately and change his livelihood! ”

In Ye Tianlong's opinion, after listening to his explanation, there must be some soldiers who quit because they are afraid of death, after all, this is just a garrison regiment, and the soldiers in it are far from being elite, how can they not be afraid of death!

This time, however, he guessed wrong, and after he finished speaking, none of the soldiers said that they would leave the army and go home.

The reason why these soldiers of the garrison regiment were soldiers in the first place was because they didn't have any good jobs, and their families were very poor, and now they are called out of the army, and they have no other skills to earn money to support their families, so it is better to continue to stay in this garrison regiment, so that at least they will have a salary of two silver dollars a month! This income level is already very high in this era.

As for the fact that people will die in war, to put it mildly, in these years, the most worthless thing is human life, and when the domestic warlords were fighting in the past few years, the number of dead people was not less than now!
