Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

The air was quiet for a second.

Tie Ya stared at Gray with a very interesting expression.

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.

As a subordinate, he should feel honored for this. It is a kind of recognition and trust that his sister can be favored by the adults he is loyal to.

But as an older brother... he also subconsciously felt that his cabbage was being taken advantage of.

Tie Ya is undoubtedly an excellent and loyal subordinate. He only regained his composure after his complexion for a moment.

When he thought of Qiuye, he had been pestering him these past few days to take the initiative to be a maid for Master Gray. As an older brother, he didn't know what his sister was thinking.

It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Forget it, she is willing, and if it is Master Gray, then there will be no problem.

Gray paused, feeling that he might have just said something that Tie Ya misunderstood.

He quickly spoke again: "Don't get me wrong, we didn't do anything, we just...

Before he could finish speaking, Tie Ya waved his hand: "You don't need to explain, Qiu Ye is voluntary, I won't have any objection."

Gray:

Okay, actually Gray doesn’t know how to explain it, saying that he touched his sister in the room?

And then say that you and others are innocent?

Gray felt that he couldn't be so shameless.

He doesn't want to either, but the cute and cute animal-eared girl invites you to touch jiojio, who can refuse.

I feel that autumn leaves feel a little different from Sha.

The muscles on Sha's body are well-proportioned, and her long legs are straight, smooth but very tight.

Autumn leaves are different, they are more fleshy and soft when pinched.

Gray changed the topic: "By the way, from today on, you will be in charge of the city guard. Now you are the orthodox leader. Our territory does not have an army that truly belongs to us yet. You need to solve these ten points.

Now the population in the territory has begun to grow, and many residents from various places are young and middle-aged, and they can all be excellent soldiers.

The Field family's army is indeed good, but Gray also wants his own army.

After Tie Ya became his own person, Gray was naturally relieved to let him handle this matter.

"Money, equipment, and food are no problem. I need you to recruit an army of three thousand men as soon as possible before spring."

Gray and Tie Ya explained their needs.

Tie Ya has its own advantages.

He is an orc. Not only can he recruit humans in the city, he can also send out news to recruit orcs.

Especially people from the wolf tribe and the tauren tribe.

Their relationship with Gray has long been close.

The Tauren clan is even more responsive to Gray's requests.

As long as Tie Ya goes to talk, I believe that the Tauren clan can provide Gray with at least 500 warriors.

It's not that they don't want to give Gray more. After all, being able to serve as soldiers under Gray means that they are closer to the Silver Holy Beast.

For such a good thing, the Niutou clan will probably be able to fight for it.

But the territory of the Niutou clan also needs enough power to protect itself.

So five hundred people is already quite a lot.

As for the werewolf tribe.

It seems that he and Gray are more partners in interests.

But in fact, Sha already controls most of the werewolf tribe.

As long as Gray gives her a signal, she can probably squeeze out five hundred people.

The werewolf population is smaller than that of the Tauren. Five hundred people are still very important to them, so it is good to be able to support five hundred people.

For the remaining two thousand people, Gray estimates that it will not be a big problem to recruit them before spring. There may even be many people who want to join the army but have no chance.

According to the report given to him by the people at the city hall yesterday, the population growth this week has reached 600 people.

This number will reach its peak within the next month.

It may slowly decrease in winter.

Gray estimates that this wave will bring him a population increase of 5,000 people.

This is already a lot, after all, it’s only one month.

After winter comes, people will definitely come here one after another.

After Tie Ya received the order, he naturally had no objection.

Soon, Tie Ya left, and he was going to post the recruitment notice.

At night, Tie Ya returned to the manor and went out with Gray.

Gray planned to see how much Tie Ya's combat power increased.

The two found a remote place to have a fight.

Tie Ya tried his best, but was still suppressed by Gray.

The battle ended soon, and Gray had finished the evaluation. Now Gray is even better than Hei Wen.

This made Tie Ya himself feel incredible.

Then the two returned to the city that night and continued their work.

In fact, in this era, only the nobles could afford professional soldiers.

For example, Field's army is composed of professional soldiers with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

But at the same time, the consumption is also high. Just raising those troops, the Field family has already tried their best.

Some small nobles have no professional soldiers at all. Whenever there is a war and respond to the king's call, they will force their subjects to stop the battlefield.

You can imagine how low the combat effectiveness of those people in the territory who usually don't even have enough to eat and don't have any decent clothes.

Although Gray is not a big noble, he is rich.

Being rich means being willful, and he can raise an army.

As long as there is money and benefits, some people are willing to join the army.

Neither Tie Ya nor Gray thought conscription was a difficult task.

Sure enough, not long after the notice was posted.

The military recruitment registration point that had just been opened next to the city hall was quickly filled with people signing up.

Although Gray's city is very clean and beautiful, it is also very prosperous and has huge commercial value.

But after all, this is a land outside the kingdom, within the scope of the orcs' activities.

If ordinary residents can no longer live where they are, how many of them will come back?

Therefore, the residents who can live here are, without exception, people who are willing to take risks for their lives.

They are all willing to take risks and don't mind taking more risks.

At least the benefits and subsidies given by Gray are very high.

In particular, taxes on military family members can be reduced by 30%.

This is attractive enough for residents of the entire city.

Many families with a large family are willing to send a young man to serve as a soldier.

So in just three days, the number of applicants had reached 500.

Gray took a look and said, good guys, among the existing residents, almost every household has signed up.

Among them were not only middle-aged men over forty, but also teenagers who were just fourteen or fifteen years old.

Gray's face turned dark when he saw the information.

Gray: "Half of the people here are not good! I'm not talking about people in their forties, why are there still people in their fifties and sixties? I'll screen out such people immediately.

"You can add one more item to the recruitment standards, only young adults over seventeen years old and under thirty years old."

"Those who are fourteen or fifteen years old, write down their names, and when the Soldier Academy is built, throw them in and train for a while."

Gray quickly issued his order.

The next day, most of the residents in the city looked sad.

There is no one in their family who meets the requirements to become the city lord's soldier.

This means they cannot take advantage of tax deductions.

And those families whose family members were successfully recruited into the army were all happy.

Although Gray's recruitment requirements have already passed a lot of people, there is still a steady stream of people signing up.

Especially some young people who just came here with nothing.

They were originally looking for opportunities.

Unexpectedly, I encountered conscription in the city as soon as I arrived.

Looking at the treatment of soldiers, oh my god, not only do they get five silver coins every month, but they also provide food and accommodation, and they are even allocated a house after three years of joining the army!

There are even soldiers who can choose to retire after serving for more than ten years. After retirement, the city lord will allocate land.

If you don't want land, a good job will be arranged.

Is this a conscription?

Isn’t this giving away money, land, and jobs?

As soon as these young people saw this, they rushed to sign up one by one.

It's not like they haven't seen noble lords recruiting soldiers. In those places, food and accommodation are included, and a military salary of one silver coin per month is already a very good treatment.

Just like that, they had no chance to serve as soldiers locally.

There is no way, there are too many people, everyone wants to enter the military camp.

But now, there is an opportunity in front of them that far exceeds those benefits.

Why don't thousands of people fight against them?

Of course they don't want to let it go.

They come here just to get ahead, and they won't let go of such a good opportunity now.

So when winter just entered, Tie Ya recruited three thousand human soldiers.

There are even people signing up.

Gray was satisfied with this and did not continue the draft.

It's not that he thinks there are too many people, it's just that the current venues and military camps can only accommodate so many people.

Moreover, there are still 500 tauren soldiers and 500 werewolf soldiers crowded in the military camp. Recruiting 3,000 ugly soldiers is already the limit.

Therefore, conscription can only be temporarily suspended.

Gray asked Tie Ya to start training the new soldiers. Since Tie Ya was an orc, Gray was afraid that Tie Ya could not grasp the endurance of the soldiers, so he took pictures of Alvin and others.

They often fight with the army, are very familiar with military life, and understand some basic training methods.

And they also have some training programs provided by Gray.

So the new recruits can get started quickly.

And the progress is encouraging. It is estimated that this winter they will be able to meet the requirements of professional soldiers, and the rest is combat experience.

Gray left the training of new recruits to them.

And he himself took Mia and Qiuye to the Snake Tribe about a month ago, that is, right after he revised the conscription rules. .
