Pu Tianzhen was very proud of the 60,000 yuan that Qin Tian gave him.
"Master, don't worry. It's definitely easy to recruit troops now! Money makes the world go round!"
Two hundred soldiers were in charge of recruiting soldiers, and there were ten recruitment centers.
Anyone who was willing to join the army would be given eight silver coins a month.
With money to pay, many commoners in Suzhou City immediately filled up the recruitment hall.
Qin Tian walked out of Suzhou's garden and sighed when he saw the recruitment hall packed with commoners.
"I wonder if the soldiers recruited like this can fight?”
Zhou Chao, the guard at the side, muttered softly.
"Master, we definitely can't fight the newly recruited soldiers! However, as long as you train them properly and strictly enforce military discipline, I think you can train an army that has been through hundreds of battles!”
Qin Tian turned around and looked at the guard behind him.
"You know quite a lot!”
Zhou Chao was holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"Master, you taught me all these, and you gave me this book!”
Looking at this Sun Tzu's Art of War, Qin Tian sighed.
"Study hard! In the future, I'll leave my guard battalion to you!”
Zhou Chao stood at attention and saluted.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
Qin Tian patted Zhou Chao's shoulder.
"Continue to work hard. Let's go to the streets to inspect!”
On the streets, people who were buying rice and flour crowded the General Administration.
The grain merchants were so angry that they gritted their teeth. They had finally taken advantage of the war to raise the price of grain to 20 cents per catty. Now, Qin Tian had popped out to sell grain wantonly, causing the price of grain in Suzhou to drop wantonly.
The grain merchants of Suzhou gathered together and began to discuss.
The biggest grain merchant in Suzhou, Xie Fugui.
He held the luminous pearl in his hand and frowned as he sat on an armchair made of red sandalwood.
"Everyone is here! Sit down and talk while drinking tea!"
In the Xie Manor, the 23 grain merchants sat down.
"President, our Suzhou grain prices have been greatly reduced. If we can't sell our grain, it will rot in the granary and we will lose everything!”
Xie Fugui smashed the teacup on the floor.
"You only know how to complain! Did I lower the price of food? It was Qin Tian. They did not know where the grain came from, and they wantonly lowered the price! It wasn't easy for us to take advantage of the war to raise the price of food all the way. We didn't expect that someone would come out of nowhere and bite the golden spoon!”
The grain merchant at the side made a throat-slashing gesture.
"President Xie, why don't we kill Qin Tian?”
Xie Fugui furrowed his brows, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Qin Tian obtained the Clear Sky Hundred Days Medal. He killed Feng Tianbao and didn't even care about Song Ziwen! If we kill Qin Tian, our entire family will probably suffer!”
Xie Fugui's son had a fierce look on his face.
"Cutting off my source of income is like killing my parents! Father, I'll go and invite the people of the martial world to kill Qin Tian!”
Xie Fugui looked at the grain merchants around him.
"What do you guys think?"
"Kill, we must kill!"
The grain merchants unanimously decided to eliminate Qin Tian.
At this moment, there were undercurrents surging in Suzhou City.
Qin Tian and the guards inspected Suzhou City, and the spies of the Chicken Empire in the city also began to move.
They were under the orders of the Heavenly Phoenix to destroy Qin Tian and avenge the two regiments that died outside Songhu City and the devils that drowned in the battleships.
In Suzhou City, the spies of the Tuopenji Empire's Special Gao Ke had all begun to move.
Qin Tian and Li Weiguo, who were inspecting the recruitment, rode over.
"Master, we've captured a Japanese spy. They might be planning to assassinate you!”
Qin Tian frowned. How did he become a thorn in the Japanese's side?
"Let's go back to Suzhou Gardens!"
Qin Tian returned to Suzhou Garden and was a little anxious in his heart.
"It seems that the Japanese's Special High Tech wants to get rid of me! We have to build an armored division as soon as possible! In addition, they had to eliminate the spies of the devils in the city!”
Li Weiguo looked helpless and scratched his head.
"Master, we can still fight, but if we catch spies, I'm afraid none of our soldiers are good at this job!”
Qin Tian sat on the chair, his eyes half-closed. The surrounding atmosphere seemed exceptionally quiet.
"There's no hurry about the Japanese spies! Where did Pu Tianzhen go? Call him over!”
After a while, Pu Tianzhen ran over, drenched in sweat.
"Master, you were looking for me?"
"How many people have you recruited so far?"
"We spent 40,000 dollars, eight dollars for a soldier!”
"5,000 people is far from enough. Continue recruiting! In addition, those in charge of selling rice and flour could transport them to nearby villages and cities to sell! Our 28th Armored Division needs to be expanded to at least 30,000 people!”
Pu Tianzhen was drinking from the teacup on the table, choking and coughing.
"Master, our army only has 12,000 people at full strength. Including those who are paid for nothing, we only have about 10,000 people! You want to recruit a division of thirty thousand people?"
Qin Tian rolled his eyes.
"At least 30,000 people. Of course, we can make more money and expand to 50,000 or even more!”
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Pu Tianzhen was stunned on the spot.
"Master, how much would this cost? The training would take at least three months! Who knew what would happen to the Battle of Song-Hu?”
Qin Tian waved his hand.
"We don't need to worry about so many things. Right now, we only have one goal. We need to expand to thirty thousand people.”
Pu Tianzhen saluted.
"Master, don't worry. Even if I have to expand my force to 100,000, I promise to complete the mission!”
After Qin Tian was done with these matters, Ye Yuqing led a group of reporters and rushed into Suzhou Gardens.
Qin Tian looked at the reporters and felt a headache coming on.
"Commander, we are here to interview you about your glorious and great heroic deeds!”
A blonde reporter from Eagle Country snapped a photo of Qin Tian.
"Master Qin Tian, I'm a reporter from World Weekly. This time, we're here to let the West better understand the gardeners, so we specially came to visit you!”
Qin Tian had a furious expression.
"If you want to understand us, you can go to the battlefield and see our men. In order to stop the Japanese attack, they used their flesh and blood, Japanese cannons, and tanks. They should be on the World Weekly!”
