"Yes." Huo Nu slowly opened the letter.

"Congratulations to you for getting my lifetime wealth. You may wonder why as a cultivator, I am so passionate about money. There is only one reason, and that is that I discovered that in order to achieve true peace, I must baptize the mainland. You need an army and what you need to build an army is money.”

"I spent my whole life finally making a small gain and finally collected so much wealth. However, due to my age and age, I was unable to use this wealth to form an army and baptize the mainland, so I left it to future generations. It’s you, I hope you can inherit my will and use this wealth to change the continent. Good luck to you." The fire girl slowly read out all the contents of the letter.

"I didn't expect this senior to have talked about such a day for a long time. We must not live up to senior's last wish." Li Hao said seriously, "Peace, we will definitely let you appear."

"There are ten boxes of gold coins here with almost 1000 million gold coins, and the jewelry in these two boxes is worth at least 1000 million gold coins, which is a total of 2000 million gold coins." Link secretly calculated, "If each soldier has fifty gold coins per year, Calculated, it is enough to cover the expenses of 40 soldiers for one year. If you also include equipping the soldiers with weapons, armor, and war horses, it will be a huge expense, but it is enough to cover the expenses of 30 soldiers for one year."

Link continued to calculate, "If this war lasts for two years, it will be 15. By the end of the war, I guess the empire will not allow private individuals to have such a large army!" This is natural. If any king in the peaceful and prosperous times would let an individual With an army of 15, such a powerful king will be controlled by others. The current Ubaka and the others are the best example.Even if an army of 15 is formed out of thin air now, it is estimated that the empire will not allow it.

"15!" Murong Liantian's mouth opened wide. Even if he were killed, he couldn't believe that they would command an army of 15. You must know that Ubaka only had an army of 15 and posed such a big threat to the empire.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Li Hao finally expressed his doubts. "No matter how many gold coins we have, we can't continuously expand our troops. After all, human resources are effective, and the empire cannot let us With such a huge army.”

"The official seal of the empire stipulates that people without military ranks are not allowed to have an army. The number of private subordinates cannot exceed a thousand. Under special circumstances, private individuals can form an army to assist the empire. But the upper limit is only 1. In addition, after observing along the way, I found that in Longtai City At most, we can only form an army of 1 people. So we can only have an army of [-] people at most." Link slowly introduced his calculations, feeling a little helpless, but the fact was that they had nothing to do.

"Ten thousand is ten thousand." Li Hao said confidently, "Ubaka only dares to bring out ten thousand troops at most. We will not suffer in terms of numbers. Starting tomorrow, we will go to the city lord to have a look. No matter what, people have to let people know about their low-sightedness to form an army."

"Who is it? Don't you know this is the City Lord's Mansion?" Several servants stopped Li Hao and the others.

"Hurry up and inform your city lord that the people from the Beichen team want to see you." Li Hao said loudly. Not everyone can meet the city lord if they want to, so Li Hao could only tell the name of the Beichen team. He believed that the city lord would also listen. I told you about their Beichen team.

"Team Beichen? Are you the ones who defeated Muta and the others? I have long heard that it was a few young men, and now they are indeed extraordinary." A servant complimented, "I will inform the Lord of the City right away."

The servant hurriedly ran in to inform the city lord, and it didn't take long for a thin figure to appear among Li Hao and the others. He was a middle-aged man, but his old face looked like he was old.

"Young heroes, please come in quickly. I am Ye Wen, the city lord of Longtai City." With that, the city lord led Li Hao and the others into the city lord's mansion.

As soon as they entered, Li Hao and the others were surprised again. They finally understood why the servant just invited the city lord out so quickly.The reason is very simple because this place is too small, and the buildings are very simple. I believe that all the places are complete, and it can barely be regarded as the city lord's palace.

It's no wonder that Longtai City is very close to Kangnan City. Ubaka has long been ambitious and of course he will make a lot of money. The so-called protection fees paid to Kangnan City every year can account for half of Longtai City's fiscal revenue.The empire turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. As long as they could hand over enough gold coins to the empire, the other empires would not care too much.This also caused Longtai City's financial emptiness, so Ye Wen's mansion was in such a mess.

"A few young heroes have made you laugh. This is the meeting hall. Please come in and talk, young heroes." Ye Wen said sheepishly. He also knew that his mansion was really in a bad state.

"In this case, Mr. Ye is an upright and honest official. This is the example that people should follow." Li Hao said slowly.This is also what Li Hao said from the bottom of his heart.

"Young heroes, please take a seat." After entering the meeting hall, Ye Wen said politely, "I wonder what the young heroes have come to do this time?" Ye Wen went directly to the topic.

"How is Master Ye's recent situation?" Li Hao asked with interest, without directly stating their purpose of coming.

Who is Ye Wen?How could a city lord who has been a city lord for so many years not understand the purpose of Li Hao's visit? "Recently, Ubaka's army is about to rush over. Since the empire's army is too small, it has not allocated a single soldier to Longtai City. Longtai City only has five thousand remaining soldiers. Even now, if it is Ubaka, it is more vigilant. It's impossible to resist the attack." Ye Wen shook his head helplessly and said.

"If that's the case, why is Master Ye still holding on here?" Li Hao asked seriously.

"Young hero, you can't say that. As a member of the empire, you will die as a ghost of the empire. If the city dies, people will die. As long as I am still alive, I will never let the thieves succeed." Ye Wenyi said angrily, starting from Ye Wen It can also be heard from his words that Ye Wen is by no means the kind of timid person, but now the situation forces him to have no choice.

"If I say that our Beichen team wants to form an army of ten thousand people to help Lord Ye defend the city, I don't know what your opinion is." Li Hao said casually on purpose.

"Of course it couldn't be better." Ye Wen said excitedly.He had already guessed that Li Hao and the others were here to help him, but he did not expect to directly form an army of ten thousand people.

"But..." Ye Wen shook his head in embarrassment, "But Longtai City doesn't have the cost to form an army at all, otherwise it wouldn't have only these five thousand troops." This is indeed Ye Wen's weakness.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, Mr. Ye. We can find our own solution. As long as Mr. Ye supports us and doesn't allow us to borrow the training ground, that's it." Li Hao said slowly.

"It's easy to talk about. It's no problem. The training ground here has been abandoned for a long time. As long as the young hero can help defend the city, I, Ye Wen, will do my best." After hearing Li Hao's words, Ye Wen finally showed a smile. .These days, Ye Wen is almost worried about this matter. Now Li Hao can help.

Of course Ye Wen couldn’t be happier.

"In this case, we won't disturb Mr. Ye. Let's go back and prepare for the formation of the army first. There will be Mr. Lao Ye in the future." Li Hao said politely.Then, with Ye Wen seeing him off, he returned to the inn and started preparations for the army.

"Recruiting!" Murong Liantian shouted in the city center and then put up a big sign with the word "Recruiting" written on it.

"We are recruiting troops. Our Beichen team will start recruiting troops from today." This was Murong Liantian's opening remarks.This is also what Link ordered. First, saying that Beichen Team is recruiting troops can attract more people.

This effect is naturally good. As soon as they heard the name of Beichen Team, many people gathered over. "Everyone in the Beichen team, please come over and take a look. I heard they are recruiting troops." Jiang Haotian said while mixing in the crowd, so as to attract people's attention more.So within a short time, Murong Liantian was surrounded by people.

"Everyone knows Ubaka. His name is to suppress the south, but in fact he is amassing money. Half of the harvest of the people's hard work is handed over to him, and now he has gone too far. He actually wants to capture the city and rob everyone. Land and money, I really don’t want everyone to live.” In Link’s words, this is called pouring water first to arouse everyone’s interest.

"It's too abominable. We must not let them succeed and defend the city." The people nearby said indignantly.

"Hehe, the effect is good, keep going." Murong Liantian smiled secretly, and then continued, "Where is Longtai City? It is the place where we were born and raised, it is our roots, and it is the property left by our ancestors. If it continues If it can't protect us, who can we blame? No one can blame us." Murong Liantian said fluently.

"If Ubaka once invades the city, do you know what we are? We are subjugated slaves! They will rob our money, take our women, and burn our houses. Even if we survive in the future, we will always live in their homes. Under your feet, no one will treat you as a human being. Are we going to watch them succeed? Of course not. So everyone, what should we do now?" Murong Liantian said indignantly.

"Defend Longtai City! Defend Longtai City! Defend Longtai City!" The people nearby shouted heroically.

"Everyone, be quiet." Murong Liantian adjusted the order and continued, "But we only have 15 remnant soldiers and Ubaka has 15 elite soldiers. How can we fight this battle? There is no need to fight because it is impossible to defeat them." Hearing this. Everyone was unusually quiet after Murong Liantian's words. They also understood the current situation. How could it be possible to fight [-] against [-]?

"Everyone, don't be so desperate. Since our Beichen team is here, we will definitely not let him do whatever he wants. We have a way to kill him with eight people and ten thousand, and we are sure to kill 15 with ten thousand." Murong Liantian said heroically.

"Beichen is mighty! Beichen is mighty! Beichen is mighty!" People seemed to see hope.

"So we, Beichen, are recruiting 15 troops now. These 40 are enough to defend him from [-]." Murong Liantian finally told his purpose. "If you are a farmer, of course you must become a soldier because you want to protect your fertile land. If you are a businessman, you must You want to be a soldier because you want to protect your market. If you are a filial son, you must be a soldier because you want to protect your parents. If you are a husband, you must be a soldier because you want to protect your woman. If you are a father, of course you must be a soldier. It's to protect his children." Murong Liantian said for a long time in one breath.The general takeaway from his statement is that all men between the ages of [-] and [-] must serve as soldiers, but he can achieve better results by saying this.

"Of course." Murong Liantian changed his tone. "There are definitely many benefits to being a soldier. As long as you want to become a soldier, you will be given two gold coins immediately. From now on, you will also receive a military salary of five gold coins every month. I believe you will not have any when farming. Such a high income." If it was called a threat at the beginning, now it is definitely a temptation, a naked temptation, and the broad masses of the people like this kind of temptation the most.

"Five gold coins, then that's sixty gold coins a year, which is enough for my income for ten years." One of them calculated, "I want to be a soldier!"

"I want to be a soldier, I want to be a soldier." People nearby kept saying.

"Don't worry, everyone has a share. Even if there are enough people, as long as you participate, you will be given two gold coins as a gift. But this place is too small. Our captain is waiting for everyone at the training ground. If you want to go, hurry up. ." Murong Liantian smiled and his plan finally succeeded.

After listening to Murong Liantian's words, people quickly ran to the training ground without any hesitation.

"Brother Li Hao, look at the people coming!" Huo Nu said excitedly as she looked at the people running quickly, "I didn't expect Murong Liantian to be quite powerful. So many people came in such a short time."

"Well, it seems that Link's method works really well." Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then started to get busy.

"We are all here to be soldiers." Everyone said together.

"Don't be anxious. First register with me and then collect the gold coins from Link. Then you can go back and report here again in two days." Li Hao said slowly. "First."

A strong young man came over. "What's your name?" Li Hao asked casually. "Er Hu Zi." The strong man's rude voice left a big impression on Li Hao. "Okay, let's get the gold coins."

Seeing Er Huzi walking over, Link handed the gold coins he had prepared into Er Huzi's hand.Looking at the shining gold coins in his hand, Erhuzi couldn't believe that this was a fact. He had gotten two gold coins without doing anything. You must know that this was his monthly living expenses.

"Next one." Li Hao said slowly...

Li Hao and the others didn't take any rest for the whole morning. They kept registering here while Murong Liantian went around to recruit people. The news that Beichen team was recruiting troops quickly spread throughout Longtai City. Of course, this also had the help of Lord Ye. , and the generous treatment of Li Hao and others even moved the original troops. Xingui City Lord promptly increased their military pay. Of course, these military wages were provided by Li Hao. Otherwise, how could Ye City Lord have so much money.

Li Hao's last count in the morning was that there were 2000 people. This was because so few people knew about it at the time. In the afternoon, it became even crazier, with 5000 people looking at the momentum.However, no one complained about the long queue. Due to time constraints, only 3000 people were registered in one afternoon, so there were 5000 people in total on the first day.

On the second day, the number of people not only did not decrease, but also increased. Li Hao and the others did not go back for lunch but kept registering here. The next day, another 5000 people signed up. According to Li Hao and the others' original plan, this had already reached 1 people. Although the number of people had been reduced but there were still many people who wanted to sign up, Li Hao of course had to give others a chance, so Li Hao continued to recruit soldiers on the third day. However, these people's military pay was provided by Li Hao but they were incorporated into the imperial army.City Lord Ye was of course overjoyed about this matter and after a few polite words with Li Hao, he readily accepted it. There were more than 1 of these people in the end.Their initial estimate of only [-] people signing up in Longtai City has been shattered. They really didn't expect that the people of Longtai City would be so enthusiastic. Of course, this was inseparable from Murong Liantian's contribution. (To be continued)
