"Magical problems?" David looked at Gianna and felt a little inexplicable: "Master Prodmoor......

"Just call me Gianna."

"You can call me Davy as well...... I don't know much about magic, I'm not a mage."

"I know, Gra...... David." Gianna pondered her words and explained what she meant, "I want to ask about the spellcasters of this world."

Hearing that Gianna wanted to ask about this matter, David could only say embarrassedly that he didn't know much about the spellcasters of this world, and he had never seen the mages of this world until now.

"This ......" Gianna was obviously misunderstood, she thought that the arcane spellcasters of this world were very rare existences, and even someone like David had no chance to meet them.

David thought about it for a while, and could only advise Gianna to learn the Brennia lingua as soon as possible: "There is an alchemist named Pierre Newton in Winter Town, who has traveled around the continent of Brennia for many years before getting my invitation to be my personal advisor, and knows enough about many things."

Gianna nodded, although she couldn't get an answer from David, but she had someone to ask, and the next question was the Brennia lingua franca...... This is not a difficult task for her at all, she can learn it in a few days, and at most it takes a few more days to practice speaking.

In fact, just a few days later, Gianna could already speak the standard Brunnia lingua franca with a Tiran accent.

Sylvanas and Liadline can also communicate with people in the Brennia lingua franca without barriers; Sally Whitemane, though stumbling slightly, can also speak to people in the Brennia lingua franca, with only Renault Mograini still learning.

Even Renault, who was the slowest learner, learned new knowledge far faster than ordinary people, making David sigh again: "It's all talent......

After all, they are all people who have made a name for themselves in the world of Azeroth, and it is not surprising that they have such a performance.

Seeing this situation, Davy rose up again with the idea of going to the world of Azeroth to kidnap some subordinates, thinking that with his current prestige and fame, it should be easy to recruit familiar celebrities, right?

Finally retracting his thoughts of running away, David looked at Gareth Stanton and Floyd, the two guards in front of him, and wondered if they both came to him at the same time: "Is there something wrong?"

"My lord, the territory of Winter Town is relatively large, and with only these ten soldiers at present, it is difficult to take care of all places."

"So......" David looked at Gareth Stanton, he already knew what the knight was trying to say, "You want to recruit new soldiers?"

"Yes."

"You're here to do that, too?" David looked at Floyd next to him, the two of them usually change the guard, and rarely appear in front of him at the same time.

"Yes, sir. Ten soldiers is too little." Freud looked at the construction site not far away, and he was fascinated by the craftsmen: "Although everyone in the town has a job to do at the moment, no one will make trouble. But lately, people from other places have started to come to the vicinity of Wintertown."

….

Floyd's meaning David understood that as more and more outsiders came to Winter Town, the security in Winter Town would likely deteriorate.

Because these newcomers can't be as honest as those intenturfed farmers and those craftsmen.

It's not that Freud is biased, but the people who can run away from home and work far away in this era are more or less disobedient to discipline.

"How many soldiers are you going to recruit?"

"This ......" Gareth Stanton and Floyd looked at each other, and finally it was Freud who asked, "It depends on what kind of soldiers the adults are trying to recruit?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that the baron really didn't understand, the two knights reacted that they were not loyal to the kind of nobles from the family, but to commoners

It is not surprising that young people from this background are not aware of the difference.

So Freud immediately explained it to David.

At present, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Tiran are divided into several types: the regular knights, regardless of their combat power, status or treatment, they are undoubtedly the top.

The members of the Knights of Tiran are basically knights, as well as those who are trying to train to become knights, and the entire Knights of Tiran are nobles in terms of status. Weapons, armor, and salaries are naturally the best.

Slightly next to the Knights of the Great Lords were the Knights of the Iron Tree Castle, which were mainly commanded by noble knights and soldiers who were strictly selected elite cavalry.

The equipment, treatment, and combat effectiveness are also very strong.

Further down there are the professional soldiers.

The so-called professional soldiers refer to the soldiers who are completely supported and paid by the lord, and the food and lodging equipment are provided by the lord, which is also the main military composition of the current Tiran Kingdom.

The ten soldiers David had seen earlier at the northern outpost, and the ten soldiers in Wintertown at the moment, were of this type.

Although the training of this kind of professional soldier is not as high as that of cavalry, it is also a 'big money consumer, and weapons and armor, training equipment, and food and lodging all depend on the lord's money.

For example, some small lords simply can't afford to raise many professional soldiers like this.

Therefore, there is a more subordinate semi-professional soldier: the militia.

The militia did not make a living as soldiers, they had their own main business, and most of them were farmers. In peacetime, they mainly cultivate the fields, but they participate in regular military training and participate in some military operations.

In general, the lord would reduce taxes as a benefit to ensure that the farmers were willing to voluntarily become militiamen.

"In terms of cost, the cost of training a small squad of professional soldiers is enough to train hundreds of militiamen." After Floyd's introduction, he also mentioned the huge attrition gap between the two sides.

Hearing this, David understood why the two of them had found themselves together, and the two knights were not sure if Winter Town could raise more professional soldiers.

In addition, the two guards were actually reminding David of one thing: these ten professional soldiers followed him to Winter Town, and they were very conscientious and dutiful, my lord, should you pay your salary?

After David came to his senses, he rubbed his temples speechlessly: "The town is currently allocating resources in a unified manner, if you don't come and tell me, I forgot that these soldiers have to be paid extra salaries."

….

Then he asked how much he should be paid to these ten soldiers, and after hearing the number, he looked at Eva next to him, and saw Eva nodding his head, secretly relieved.

It's okay, I paid the salaries of these soldiers, and when Earl Sutton-Stewart threw a party, he received a lot of gifts. Some repetitive, useless gifts were exchanged for coins on the way and brought back.

In addition, Winter Town is still in the period of unified planning, so these coins have been left untouched.

As for whether to recruit professional soldiers or train the militia directly, David felt that it was better to give priority to training professional soldiers, as for the militia...... When Winter Town is built, it is more appropriate for the craftsmen to train when they are free.

Now both farmers and artisans have a lot of work to do, and they simply do not have the leisure and energy to receive military training.

Moreover, the town of Winter is still in the period of unified distribution of resources, and there is no tax to collect at all.

"Weapons, armor, lodging, and training facilities?" Aside from salaries, these are the main reasons for limiting the number of professional soldiers.

David was glad that he could easily solve these things. Laura and Furding were able to help him get a lot of supplies.

As for the salary...... If it really doesn't work, you can also directly send some supplies, jewelry, etc., and let the soldiers exchange money for themselves.

Therefore, David is not a poor egg lord, and even due to the wave of prestige he has made in Azeroth a while ago, he may be richer than he thought.

"Yes." Barracks and training grounds, you can start with a simple frame, and weapons and armor ......

Floyd and Gareth Stanton,

We all know that Will Turner, the blacksmith in Wintertown, has quite good craftsmanship, and the weapons and armor created by that blacksmith are currently enough for Wintertown.

"Other than that......"

"Beyond that?"

"My lord, how far do you want these soldiers to be trained?"

David, who thought the problem had been solved, only realized that there were follow-up expenses after hearing Floyd's question.

"If the adults just want to train ordinary professional soldiers, as long as the food can keep up." Freud knew that his lord didn't know anything, so he didn't sell it, and directly explained: "If your lord wants these soldiers to be strong enough to even reach the level of the kingdom's front-line troops, then they still need the help of Mr. Cordell and Mr. Newton."

「……」

And the apothecary and the alchemist? David suddenly understood why Elias had strongly advised him to gather all the people before leaving the city of King Tiran.

"Train to the standards of your time in the Knights of Tiran!"

Hearing David's answer, Floyd and Gareth Stanton's expressions were as wonderful as they could be.

That's the standard for training knights! It's not just a matter of being willing to spend money, in addition to having extremely high requirements for your own quality, it also consumes a lot of resources.

One of the main reasons why Freud was able to train new knights in the Knights of Tiran was that the Knights of Tiran were recruited from young people from noble families, and in addition to the resources provided by the Knights, their families could also give them all kinds of support.

But if you do this in Winter Town, you can only rely on David, the lord, to pay out of his own pocket.

"I know what you're thinking, so let's prepare according to this standard...... If you have a problem that you can't solve, come back to me."

"That...... My lord, how many recruits are there this time?"

"Fifty?"
