Chapter 56 Recruiting Private Armies
There is a military camp fifteen miles away from the northern suburbs of Fuyao County.

Lu Qiankun rode on the Soul-Chasing Thousand-Mile Horse, changed into the Earl's uniform awarded by the Star-Moon Empire, and was already approaching this area.

"Stop, no one is allowed to approach the important military area, anyone who enters without permission will be killed!"

A dozen guards blocked the way.

Lu Qiankun smiled calmly and said, "I am the Heaven-given Earl Qiankun Yijian. I have made an appointment with your General Su Liesu to meet here today to recruit my personal soldiers."

A pass written by Su Lie was handed over to the guard.

After careful investigation, the other party immediately saluted.

"My Lord Earl looks very young, but rules are rules. I will send someone to invite General Su right away."

"It's okay. It's better to be stricter."

Lu Qiankun smiled, this was also because he was afraid that there might be spies spying on military intelligence.

After a while, Su Lie strode over with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, if you have the honor of coming to the barracks, please come in."

"You coward, you either clamor to see Lord Tianci or he goes to Black Wind Village alone to solve the threat to the border by himself, saving us a lot of trouble."

"You should know that Earl Tianci has killed at least 10,000 bandits, all of whom were barbarian elites and bandits from the Black Wind Village. We have failed to suppress the bandits many times. Where do you get the courage to argue with him? Only the Earl has a rift in his heart, so he forgave you for your disrespect and crime. Why don't you apologize?"

"Forget it, I didn't take it seriously. Brother Su, please don't punish them. The barbarians are about to invade. Being strict can also prevent the barbarians from spying on our military intelligence."

"This time I came to the military camp, I am only here to recruit personal guards."

After Lu Qiankun finished speaking, he immediately noticed that the guards who had been wary just now were all looking at him with awe, admiration and respect.

After all, the army gives preferential treatment to the strong.

And no matter what method Lu Qiankun used, they always only looked at the results and not the process.

Such a record has already become a trend.

Su Lie smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Only then did Lu Qiankun follow him into the military camp.

They entered the main tent of the army together.

"Count Tianci, please wait here for a moment. This is the price list for this recruitment. The court has stipulated that the number of private soldiers of an earl cannot exceed 500. According to your super-rank earl status, you can recruit one captain of ten thousand men and five captains of a thousand men. However, the prices are not cheap. I wonder what Count Tianci thinks."

The price list is also provided by the military camp, and the court will allow some soldiers to serve the lord.

The lord makes an offer, and if both parties agree, everyone will be happy.

This is a one-time deal, and the price is permanent.

[Fourth-level Captain: Permanent recruitment price 500 gold ingots! Only one person can be recruited, with random platinum talents! ]

[Third-level Thousand Captain: Permanent recruitment price 100 gold ingots! Limited to recruits, gold random talent! ]

[Centurion 20nd rank: Permanent recruitment price: gold ingots! Limited to recruits, silver random talent! ]

[First-class soldier: permanent recruitment price is 5 gold ingots! No limit on the number of recruitments! ]

[You need to provide weapons, armor, and horses by yourself! Supply and demand food and training materials, etc. If a private soldier dies, you can report to the court and return the documents, and issue a pension. The court will be responsible for transporting his family to the earl's fiefdom! ]

The void fiefdom is different from other cities.

It is the earl's territory alone, and outsiders cannot approach it. He has a piece of land outside the void, which is different from gangs, sects and families.

You can also set your own taxes.

A master-level figure like Ou Yezi is hard to come by, and once you meet him, it will bring you absolute benefits. If he stays in the fiefdom, it will be very convenient. However, he lacks a managerial butler now.

On the contrary, private armies are hired. If they are not purchased permanently, they are hired. Only those with documents issued by the court are permanent. Even if they kill people, no one will complain, and vice versa.

"A master at the level of a fourth-turn commander of ten thousand men has a high price, but unfortunately, due to his limited talent, he can only cultivate to the level of a sixth-turn general at most. However, the private army can go to the battlefield together. If the private army is given skills, weapons and war horses, their strength can also be increased."

"This is my helper who wants to get more merits in the near future. It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive."

After Lu Qiankun secretly calculated, he concluded that with two thousand five hundred gold ingots, he could recruit one captain of ten thousand men, ten captains of a thousand men, and fifty captains of a hundred men.

As for the first-level soldiers, another 439 of them need to be recruited, with a total price of 2,195 gold ingots.

Including miscellaneous weapons and armor, Lu Qiankun needs to take out another 5,000 gold ingots to buy dozens of war horses to give to soldiers above the rank of centurion, and forget about the soldiers.

As for equipment, he had a group of blacksmiths under his command and enough materials, so he didn't need to buy them from the military camp.

"General Su, Benbo has already selected them. All of them are permanently recruited. Here are 5,000 gold ingots. We will need to prepare war horses for the good players above the centurion level."

"That's enough. You are a count and you get a discount. I will give you 500 gold bars in return."

The quartermaster's calculations were completed.

Lu Qiankun was very satisfied, and he became even happier when he saw those private armies.

"Don't worry, I will take care of all your equipment. I have the sword-making master Ou Yezi under my command. With his ability, I can forge you some sharp weapons, even if I can't get you a famous sword."

Originally, those private soldiers thought that their masters were stingy.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

After the documents were put away, they all knelt on one knee and beat their chests with one hand in a military salute.

"Meet the Earl!"

"Get up, you will all be my comrades in the future. I hope we can all have good cooperation, but let me be frank. I don't keep idle people in my mansion. You don't need to worry about money. Just wait until your families are sent to my fiefdom and accept my care."

"Also, I am the last disciple of the contemporary Confucian saint. In the future, there will be a school in my fiefdom for you and your descendants to study. If your family has no land, I will grant them land according to their merits."

"Thank you, Lord Earl! We swear allegiance to you until death!"

Su Lie was a little envious and signaled a soldier to step out of the team.

"Count Tianci, this is Lin Guanyu, the captain of our army. Although he is thin, he is proficient in military strategy and tactics, and can be considered a disciple of the military school. I am a little reluctant to hand him over to you, but his family members died in the Black Wind Village, and he took the initiative to ask to serve this time."

"Oh? There is such a thing."

Lu Qiankun sighed.

"The thieves of Black Wind Village deserve to die. They betrayed the empire and the people. Those foreigners all deserve to die. I never regret killing too many people. I also hope that you can understand some of my future actions. Gather now."

Lu Qiankun waved his hand.

A large pile of armor and weapons fell in front of the tent.

"Take your weapons according to your rank. If I stop listening to Lin Guanyu during the battle, from now on he will be the captain of Benbo's personal guard!"

"Each captain will lead five centurions each, divided into ten teams, and have the soldiers come to receive their weapons and armor."

"As for your weapons, when you return to the Earl's Mansion, go to the butler to get the high-level weapons."

Lu Qiankun looked at Lin Guanyu and asked, "Are you proficient in weapons?"

"Your Excellency, I play with knives!"
