"Wen Yuan, I just thought about it again."
"To form a new army, you need to recruit local warriors, build weapons and equipment, and then pay them military salaries. The total cost of these is too great for the national treasury to bear."
"So I reconsidered. Otherwise, our new army will recruit five thousand people, which is not a lot. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely shine on the battlefield."
Eight hundred men could defeat Sun Quan's 100,000 men.
Five thousand should be enough for you now.
This number has been carefully considered by Han Lin. It is not that a lot of money is not expensive, nor that it is too small to be seen.
But when Zhang Liao heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Zhao's brain went blank.
Just now, the establishment of 50,000 people was given, and he looked like he was going to conquer the world and dominate the world with high spirits.
Why did it take so long?
It turned directly into the fussy look in front of me.
Directly reduced from 50,000 to 5,000.
Directly ten times less.
Zhang Liao looked in disbelief and asked, "Your Majesty, why is this?"
Han Lin sighed quietly and was about to make a quibble.
【Ding! 】
The familiar system prompt sound appeared in my mind.
[Congratulations to the host, who made a cowardly act of "cutting military expenditures" and received a reward: 10,000 war horses, 5,000 pairs of heavy armor, 5,000 long bows, and 5,000 horse spears. 】
Han Lin blinked.
I looked at the rewards given by the system again.
You might as well give me five thousand heavy cavalry.
Give me equipment now, don’t I have to recruit people myself?
Of course,
Complaints are complaints.
This reward is quite delicious.
It directly saved myself a lot of military expenses.
Needless to say about the war horses, each of them is a proper gold-swallowing beast.
And armor.
In ancient times, anyone who dared to hide armor privately would be committing treason.
If you have a pair of armor, you have to go to jail.
If you have three pairs of armor, you will at least be sent to the army.
There are ten pairs of armors, which are the Nine Clans Xiaoxiaole.
Of course, this is only if there is less armor. If there is more armor...
There are thirty pairs, and the county magistrate will help you hide it.
There are three hundred pairs, and the county guard will help you refute the rumors.
There are three thousand pairs, and all the state pastors have to come to pay homage to the dock.
If you have ten thousand pairs...you can try changing clothes.
When Nurhachi raised his army, there were only thirteen pairs of armors. You can imagine the gold content in them.
After the system reward arrived, Han Lin's expression immediately became bright and sunny.
Han Lin patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said seriously: "Wen Yuan, I think letting you lead the infantry is a bit overqualified."
"With these five thousand people, I want you to build an elite cavalry. As for the horses and armor, you don't have to worry. I will take care of it myself."
.......
Looking at Zhang Liao's back as he took the order and left,
Han Lin also returned to the bedroom.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Han Lin was thinking silently in his mind.
At this stage,
Jinyiwei and Dongchang are in hand, as well as Zhang Liao to form a new army.
This kind of military power is enough to keep the throne, and it is not impossible to push back.
However, if you want to recapture Changlin Pass, you have to wait for the plague mentioned by the system to appear in the Yan Army camp.
As for people's livelihood, everything is on the right track.
The road construction project in Linzi City has begun.
As for the brothel, it will only open in the past few days.
Han Lin was particularly concerned about this matter.
On the one hand, I can have fun when the time comes, and on the other hand, this is my lucky cat, and I will continue to earn wealth for myself in the future.
As for government affairs, Han Lin had no intention of taking care of them.
The morning court has been cancelled. Who cares about those troubles?
besides,
There is another thing that Han Lin is concerned about.
That is the progress of concubine selection across the country.
Thinking of this,
Han Lin sent someone to call Wei Xian over and asked how far things had progressed.
Wei Xian respectfully said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the preliminary selection work in the Gyeonggi region has been completed. A total of 388 women have passed the preliminary selection. As for other regions, it is still in progress."
Han Lin nodded, the progress was already quite slow.
But if you want to wait until the entire Qi country is screened, it will take a month or two.
At that time, the time for these people to rush to Linzi and the time for training in the palace will be added.
I don't know how long it will take for them to officially take up their posts.
It's not that Han Lin can't wait.
It's just that the palace is deserted now.
The huge palace,
Apart from the eunuchs, there were only about twenty maids.
He is a majestic emperor, but the palace is so shabby.
What a shame!
The main reason is that when the Immortal Emperor died, most of them were buried with him.
As a result, Han Lin now feels like a loner.
Thinking of this, Han Lin said: "Let's arrange for the women who have passed the preliminary selection to go through the second round of screening."
"After all are screened, we will immediately arrange to enter the palace for relevant training. Finally, I will decide who goes and who stays."
"As you command!"
........
the following few days,
Han Lin once again entered into a life without leaving home.
However, the companion these days has been changed from Lin Xuerou to Liu Shishi.
On the one hand, Lin Xuerou was seriously injured some time ago.
Until now, my body has not regained its strength.
I don’t know if the injury was too serious or if it left any sequelae.
Whenever I walk,
You can feel the tearing pain coming from your thighs.
She is now unable to go out and can only lie in bed to recuperate.
on the other hand,
Naturally, it’s a new love... Bah!
There is a new enemy spy in the palace!
Han Lin had to interrogate and torture this new spy.
But this spy is very tough-talking.
No matter how much torture he endured, no useful information was revealed, which made Han Lin very angry.
During this time,
Han Lin is also always paying attention to the construction of roads and the opening of brothels.
This time has only been a few days.
soon,
Opening day has come.
【Zuixinglou】
This is the only restaurant among the ten industries.
At the same time, it is also the most luxurious restaurant in the entire Qi country, and even in the world.
The area alone is thousands of square meters.
A total of six stories high.
The first floor is the hotel lobby, which is also where ordinary diners eat.
Luxurious boxes on the second and third floors.
Anyone can come to the second level as long as they have money.
But if you want to reach the third level, you just need money, and you also need to have a certain reputation or status.
As for the fourth floor, it is a place for leisure and entertainment.
The fifth and sixth floors are guest rooms, which are provided for guests to rest.
The entire restaurant is completely operated according to a modern model.
And on the opening day,
Han Lin came here directly as the emperor.
Also gathered here are countless dignitaries.
