The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Spending some money to build good relationships is what Wang Kang is best at.

And in this regard, he is never stingy, he is not afraid to spend money, as long as it is meaningful and useful.

After Yang Gang left, only his own people remained.

After what happened today, Wang Kang knew that the matter of recruiting troops should also be put on the agenda.

In fact, he already had a plan for this.

Now their family has a fief, and according to the noble regulations, they can establish five thousand family private soldiers.

Before getting the fief, there were nearly a thousand private soldiers in Fuyang Earl's Mansion.

There are various types of arms, all of which are elite.

It was his father, Wang Dingchang, who had been trained and recruited over the past few years. Now, more than half of these private soldiers are in Xinfeng County.

Some acted as city guards, some took care of the iron mines, and some maintained order at the construction site.

There is still a slight shortage of manpower for this use.

If it wasn't for him to subdue Yuan Yanlian, all the bandits in the green forest, and Qing Erniang, and set up a net of heaven and earth.

It is very likely that there will be no one available.

This is very embarrassing.

No matter where you look at it, recruitment is urgent...

Wang Kang originally wanted to follow the strategy of elite soldiers, recruiting some soldiers who had actually been on the battlefield and experienced fighting, and they took shape directly.

But such a person is hard to find, hard to find, and loyalty is also a big problem.

Finally, after consideration, Wang Kang decided to recruit directly from Xinfeng County and let him personally train him!

Xinfeng County is now the family fiefdom of the Earl's Mansion of Fuyang, and they belong to their subjects. Recruiting directly here will give them a greater sense of belonging.

more heartfelt.

Originally, Wang Kang planned to wait until the roads and cities were built...all of these were completed before starting, but the current situation is no longer possible.

Besides, training also takes a certain amount of time!

It seems that we have to make a plan to consider...

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Wang Kang's pensive look, Li Qingman asked.

"Thinking about recruiting troops."

"Recruiting?"

"Correct!"

Wang Kang nodded and said: "In today's situation, although I intend to provoke Han Yuanzheng and let him attack us first, there are actually dangers..."

"Our current soldiers are no longer enough to maintain, we must expand, we must have our own strong soldiers, no matter when, fists are the last word!"

Hearing this, Li Qingman said suspiciously: "But the current population of Xinfeng County is probably not enough to support large-scale recruitment."

"Work when you are free, and serve as a soldier when you are in war!"

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "At present, this is the only way...but the population is indeed a problem."

The area of ​​Xinfeng County is quite large, but because of the isolation and poverty, the population is small, and the young people are all out to find a living, so not many stay in Xinfeng County. "

Now that Wang Kang is building roads and building cities, some people have returned to their hometowns because of the good treatment, but the total population is still not enough.

Next, Wang Kang will vigorously develop the industry to form a complete industrial output chain, which will require a lot of long-term labor. From this point of view, there is still a big gap...

Thinking of Wang Kang, he said again: "The focus of the next work should also be on this, and manpower is the foundation."

"Xinfeng County must have a larger population to attract more people to settle and work here!"

The two were discussing matters. Li Qingman came from the Taiyi Sect. He followed his master to practice since he was a child. He has learned a lot and can give Wang Kang a lot of ideas.

According to Wang Kang's plan, he will stay in Xinfeng County to build the city with all his strength...

"Zhang Xianxian, what are you going to do?"

During the chat, Li Qingman suddenly asked.

"This..." Wang Kang hesitated slightly.

Zhang Xianxian was indeed troublesome, but she had a special status and was a girl, so it was impossible to take strong measures.

It made Wang Kang quite a headache.

"I think the method Yuyan said before is good." Li Qingman said with a smile.

"any solution?"

"You take her down!" Li Qingman teased, "She is Zhang Ao's daughter, and Zhang Ao is the person behind the suppression of the Earl's Mansion..."

"If you hook up Zhang Xianxian, it will hit Zhang Ao in the face. It's funny to think about it."

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple..." Wang Kang's eyes were deep.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Wang Kang suddenly serious, Li Qingman asked suspiciously.

Wang Kang shook his head and said, "This is just my feeling,"

Such ambiguity made Li Qingman even more puzzled, but Wang Kang didn't explain much.

On the way to Tai'an City a few days ago,

Zhang Xianxian was in the same car with him, and just after passing Anyi County, Wang Kang asked her on the way...

Although Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping, is a veteran aristocrat, he did not rely on his family background, but actually fought on the battlefield, served the country, and won the title of knighthood.

Moreover, Xuan Pinghou's reputation in Zhao Guozhong is also very good, and there has never been any negative news such as extravagance and lust.

It stands to reason that such a person should be able to see the current situation clearly, and should not resist Emperor Zhao for profit and suppress Fuyang Earl's Mansion...

This is also Wang Kang's constant question.
