"Then, Elder Zhang, do you think we should recruit soldiers from the barracks or from the commoners?”
Zhang Heng asked.
Zhang Juzheng frowned and pondered for a while before saying,"The soldiers are indeed good. They are all strong, mighty, and brave! However, it was not easy to train soldiers! If he chose guards from the soldiers, he was afraid that good steel would not be used on the blade, and it would be a waste of natural resources!”
"I think it's better to recruit from the commoners! Just now, I patrolled the village and found that there were quite a number of strong warriors in the village! I feel that with a little training, these people can take on the role of guards!”
"This can also reduce the village's expenses and make better use of the suitable talents!”
Zhang Juzheng said.
"Good! Let's do it this way!"
Zhang Heng clapped his hands and said.
"Then how do we pay the guards?" Zhang Juzheng asked again.
"What do you think, Elder Zhang?"
Zhang Heng asked.
" According to the past, the guards are paid 100 silver coins per month…"
Before Zhang Juzheng could finish his sentence, Zhang Heng said,"I'll give them 200 Silver! As long as he abided by his duties! Wages are not a problem!"
"Good!"
The lord was dignified and generous, which made Zhang Juzheng feel very comfortable. This meant that his salary would be very high in the future!
How could Zhang Juzheng be unhappy?
" Ding! Zhang Juzheng's heart is filled with joy. Loyalty increased by 1 point! It has reached 95 points!"
How could this work?
"Then go recruit guards now!" Zhang Heng said, stunned.”
"My lord, please wait a moment. This old minister will go and draft the recruitment speech now!”
After obtaining the position, Zhang Juzheng's title had changed from Village Chief to Lord.
This also proved that Zhang Juzheng had acknowledged Zhang Heng and Chen Long Village!
A few minutes later, Zhang Heng and Zhang Juzheng arrived at the central square of the village with the recruitment notice.
The space here was spacious. After Zhang Juzheng pasted the recruitment notice on the wall, many commoners immediately surrounded him!
"The government is recruiting guards. The pay is generous, 200 silver coins per month! Those who were strong, hardworking, and dutiful could come and register! Recruit a limited number of people and actively participate!”
When the commoners saw the words on it, they were overjoyed and ran home!
Not long after, many people gathered around!
One by one, they raised their hands and came forward to register.
Zhang Heng sat at the side, enjoying the leisure.
Zhang Juzheng had all the power to register and select people!
It had to be said that Zhang Juzheng was very good at identifying people. The quality of the guards selected was at least 2-star!
This time, they had recruited a total of 500 government guards!
Each city gate had 50 guards!
Out of the remaining 300 people, 200 of them were patrolling the city!
There were 100 people stationed in the government office, waiting for orders at any time!
Originally, he wanted to recruit more, but when Zhang Juzheng saw that the rest were mixed with good and bad, he decisively stopped!
They were only temporarily recruited to maintain order in the city. As for the soldiers guarding the city, Zhang Heng would definitely not use them.
His city guards must at least be from the royal barracks!
After some work, Zhang Juzheng selected 10 people who had the standard of a three-star hero and appointed them as captains. Each of them would lead 50 guards!
500 guards meant 500 sets of equipment.
Zhang Heng made a trip to the blacksmith department and met the intermediate blacksmith, Lin Meng.
Meng Lin had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. He was strong and powerful, and his muscles were not inferior to Li Cunxiao's!
However, this did not mean anything. If he were to really compare himself to Li Cunxiao, the difference was like heaven and earth. Otherwise, he would not have become a blacksmith!
In a chaotic world, if one had courage and strategy, one would definitely become a great hero!
After chatting with Meng Lin for a while, Zhang Heng purchased a batch of meticulously crafted equipment from him and paid him a hefty commission!
Then, he spent silver coins to buy hundreds of sets of equipment in the system store of the Blacksmith Department before he stood up and left!
The equipment purchased by the Blacksmith Department were all low-level equipment. These equipment could only be worn by system characters, such as guards, militia, soldiers, and so on!
Players could not wear it!
The equipment that players recruited for the army would be purchased from here!
When he arrived at the government office and distributed them all, Zhang Heng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least he had solved the big problem in front of him!
However, there were still many things waiting for him!
The market!
"Village Chief is here?"
Seeing Zhang Heng's arrival, the manager hurriedly came up to him.
This guy was called Ma Lie. He looked very shrewd and was Old Man Li's distant cousin. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold this position!
This was a good job. With the village chief's salary, he would sit on a chair every day, drink tea, and stare at the various major items in the market. If he found something useful, he would take a photo. If he found something useless, he would ignore it!
At least, before the players came in, only Zhang Heng, the village chief, would come here!
Therefore, this place was a free job!
"What rare things have appeared today?”
Zhang Heng asked as he stared at the newly spawned treasure.
Not only were there rare treasures sold by players, but there were also treasures sold by the system randomly!
"A few truce talismans and a few silver-level Western Liang Ferghana Horses have appeared! But the price was too expensive, so I didn't buy it!”
Ma Lie hurriedly said respectfully.
Zhang Heng glanced around and found a few Black Iron Armistice Charms and a few Silver-tier Western Liang Ferghana Horses!
However, this price was really not flattering!
The price of a Black-Iron Truce Talisman had actually reached 10,000 ingots!
10,000 ingots was equivalent to 10,000 yuan!
And a Black-Steel True-Cessation Charm only lasted for 24 hours a day!
If the system had opened a top-up exchange, there might really be people who would buy it. But now…who would buy it?
Whoever bought it was an idiot!
Looking at the Silver Rank Western Liang Ferghana Horses, the price of one was 20,000 ingots!
If it was a gold-tier, Zhang Heng might have spent money to buy it, but a silver-tier... it was really not worth it!
Zhang Heng didn't waste any more time. He took out the extra building blueprints and hung them on the wall.
P.S. Please help me!
More flowers would increase the exposure!
Thank you!
