"Thank you, Lord Banner."

Wu Nian said very politely.

That's what he is. People respect me, I respect people.

Although Li Kun helped him because he didn't deal with Cheng Gao, if he helped, he helped. And Li Kun has really always been very polite to him.

Li Kun was actually shocked.

When he heard that Jinman City ordered to kill the tiger and reward Xiaoqi with an official position, he felt very unreliable.

That's the tiger, the king of beasts. Is it so easy to kill?

Unexpectedly, someone really killed it, and it was Wu Nian.

He suspected that Wu Nian had killed Li Ding, and felt that Wu Nian was extraordinary, so he got closer, but he didn't expect Wu Nian to become a small flag in such a way.

In the hundred households, there are only thirteen officials.

Xiaoqi directly led the troops.

The two general flags each carry five small flags.

Everything else, to each his own.

But Li Kun knew that Wu Nian would definitely not become a person with Cheng Gao.

Wooing Wu Nian is tantamount to wooing Wu Nian's subordinates.

Wu Nian's weight is even more sufficient.

Yesterday, he pondered carefully, and today he sent someone to the county seat to buy congratulatory gifts.

All in all, the two are allies.

After the two said some more words, Wu Nian explained his intentions.

"You actually want to expand the army, pay enough food, and train the army." Li Kun looked at Wu Nian in surprise.

He was amazed.

This year. Seeing that the Mengyuan people in the north are getting more and more powerful, but whether they are civil officials or military officials, they are all trying hard to make money, drunk and dreaming of death.

People like Wu Nian, not to mention rare, are rare.

"Yes." Wu Nian nodded, and then pleaded, "Lord Zongqi also knows." I'm a small soldier in Wu Nian, and I don't know much about the doorway here, so please give me advice. ”

Li Kun cares more about Wu Nian.

When it comes to something, Wu Nian is definitely more reliable than anyone else.

"Good. Ambitious. Li Kun gave a thumbs up, praised it, and groaned. At this moment, a slave and maid came in with a tea cup.

Li Kun took a few sips of the teacup and put it down, looked up and said to Wu Nian: "All these years." The imperial court's finances became increasingly strained. The court of the official did not deduct the money, and from the seven-grade small flag to seven stone rice per month. ”

"But it's not all rice, some are copper coins and goods."

"Each soldier can receive eight buckets of rice per month."

"But it's a full pay."

"In fact, 100 households smoke two buckets of rice, the general flag draws two buckets of rice, and the small flag draws two buckets of rice. When it really came into the hands of the soldiers, there were only two buckets of rice left. ”

"You give them enough sound, that's four buckets of rice a month."

In the end, Li Kun raised his head and looked at Wu Nian, and said very sincerely: "These are all things on the surface. It's really on the battlefield. Soldiers are not as reliable as house slaves. I suggest that you take out part of your own money, withhold a little of the soldiers' grain and rice, and raise reliable domestic slaves. ”

"Thank you, Lord Banner, for your advice." After Wu Nian heard this, he knew it in his heart.

He sneered in his heart.

Hundreds of households in Jinman City want to deduct soldiers and two buckets of food, and he has no choice for the time being. Jinman City is the emperor of the entire hundred households, the supreme ruler.

And Golden Man City was polite to him.

However, if the general flag is high, he will also deduct two buckets of grain, but he will never let the other party succeed.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Nian put this matter aside for the time being.

Salaries are paid on the first day of each month.

It's only the eighth day of the new year, and there are still more than 20 days left.

Let's expand the number of soldiers first, and then talk about it.

As for the house slaves, he has no intention of raising them for the time being.

If you want to raise soldiers, you have to raise them well.

Adequate pay is only the most basic condition.

The daily training of the soldiers, the update of weapons, the update of battle jackets and armor. Each of them is a waste of money.

Xiaoqi's little money, he doesn't care.

He can take it out and subsidize the soldiers.

It is not that there are soldiers who have combat effectiveness, but that there are elite soldiers in their hands to have combat effectiveness.

After Wu Nian thanked Li Kun, he got up and went back to the Wu family's courtyard.

Liu Xiang has returned and is feeding the chicks in the yard. These chicks are all personally selected by her, they are all hens, and they can lay eggs.

"Brother. I went to the store and asked, but the quilt was not ready, and it would take a few days to make it. If it's cold at night, burn a brazier to keep warm. ”

Liu Xiang raised her head and said to Wu Nian.

Actually, she wanted to say, why don't we sleep together?

But she was thin-skinned and didn't dare to say it.

hasn't gotten married yet, how embarrassing.

"It's okay, just a few days, you can get through it." Wu Nian said with a smile.

Wu Nian stayed at home for a day. Early the next morning, Wu Nian had just had lunch. Li Yong and others took more than a dozen young people to the Wu family's courtyard.

"Lord Xiaoqi. We brought people, don't look at them a little thin. But as long as you can eat enough, you can become strong, and you must be a good soldier. ”

Li Yong pointed to the young people in front of him and said with a smile.

Wu Nian stood in front of the hall, stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at these young people, and couldn't help but nod.

The life of the military household is hard, and there are many thin people and few strong people.

These people are considered to be physically strong.

Young people are a little nervous. In these years, being a soldier and receiving the emperor's food is also a good way out. It's a pity that the officials have to eat empty salaries.

Even if they want to be soldiers, they have no way, and it is rare to encounter a small flag who wants to expand the army.

It's a rare opportunity.

"Good. I, Wu, have expanded the number of troops. You can come because you give me someone Wu's face. I'm here, thank you. ”

Wu Nian held his head high, his tiger eyes were shining, and his momentum was very strong.

The young people felt this "tiger might", thinking of the huge tiger corpse they saw, they instinctively felt awe, and lowered their heads slightly.

Wu Nian said again: "Rules, things." You should know that too. But here I am, repeat. ”

"I'm giving a ring. But at the same time, you should practice once every three days, and practice more as appropriate. ”

"When you go to the battlefield, you have to be not afraid of death."

"Do you understand?"

In the last sentence, Wu Nian took a deep breath, filled his lungs with air, and drank out.

"Yes." The young people snorted a spirit, subconsciously straightened their waists, and also shouted.

"Good. Let's run. Just run in my little yard. I only need six soldiers, and whoever of you lasts to the end will be my soldier. ”

Wu Nian smiled, stretched out his right hand and pointed to his small courtyard, and took out the plan that had been prepared a long time ago.

These people all look similar, but there is definitely a difference in physical fitness.

Among the short ones, choose the tall ones, and choose the ones with the best physical fitness.

"Yes."

More than a dozen young people had been completely subdued by Wu Nian, and after answering in unison, they started running.

"Wang Gui. You stay and supervise. The rest of the people came in and spoke. Wu Nian greeted and entered the kitchen with Tie Niu, Li Yong, and Zhang Sheng.

Routinely. He brought out wine and peanuts to entertain him.

"Brothers. Today we will select first, and tomorrow we will go to the barracks for training. The weapons we captured from the Black Tiger Gang were distributed to the recruits. ”

"Also. I'll tell you something. ”

"I want to lead you to snatch back the grain that Cheng Gaoke withheld. Do you dare? ”

Wu Nian raised the wine bowl and gulped a few sips, then spit out a mouthful of wine, narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

The rest of them hadn't drunk yet, but they were drunk.

They shuddered, as if they had sobered up.
