"As for the selection criteria, we will follow our original criteria." Alvin quickly switched back to the topic. After speaking, he glanced at Xia Ye and Lang Yun, "You two should know our criteria, right?"
"You know, you know, just follow the standards of the Sifang Mercenary Group at that time, right? How we were assessed at that time, let's use this standard to assess others again." Langyun said, "But Lomu Town is not like Pizza. Liu Xi, we don’t have that many manpower that meet the standards.”
"Yes, there are obviously more people in Zanbar City, why not recruit people here?" Xia Ye asked doubtfully.
"Because if we recruit people here, there will be too much noise, which will affect my subsequent plans." Alvin explained as he glanced at the three of them.
Xia Ye and the other three nodded without knowing why. They thought that as long as Alvin planned well, they would just do their part.
"By the way, those Tingxiao people's armors are still on the airship, right? Go and make those materials into armor." Alvin said.
"Your Highness, that armor is hard and not easily deformed. If you want to turn it into equipment, those forged iron shops will have to pay a lot of money." Lang Yun said and glanced at Alvin.
"If you want to move to Luni's place, just ask Kui Qingzhi directly." Alvin looked at the three of them and said, "The same is true for mercenaries' remuneration."
"Oh, and also, Langyun, you have to keep a ledger and write down how many runes you have paid. I will have to look at it then." Alvin continued.
Alvin and Lang Yun had purchased supplies for the mercenary group together, and knew that Lang Yun was meticulous and cautious in numbers and could handle the job. Otherwise, Alvin wouldn't have said that if he became the emperor, he must make Langyun the minister of finance.
"Okay." Langyun agreed happily.
"Don't think you can be lazy, I have other things to arrange for you." Alvin turned to look at Qiao Zhi and said seriously, "I will go to Lomu Town to find you in the next two days."
Qiao Zhi was originally secretly glad that she didn't seem to have much work to do, but unexpectedly, Alvin directly pointed out her thoughts.
Xia Ye and Lang Yun couldn't help but become happy after hearing Alvin's words. They both looked at Qiao Zhi with an expression of "Don't even think about being lazy."
Qiao Zhi looked helpless.
"However, I have to remind you something. Even though we are short of manpower now, we still can't recruit those soldiers, crooked melons and jujubes." Alvin reminded looking at Xia Ye and Lang Yun.
"Why is this?" Xia Ye asked in surprise, "Isn't it okay to even call for an emergency?"
Alvin shook his head, "Actually, this recruitment is not just for the purpose of reorganizing our mercenary group."
"I plan to bring out a church army." Alvin looked at the three of them and said calmly, "So military discipline and style, including reputation, are very important."
"If it's just our own mercenary group, it doesn't matter if it has a poor reputation. After all, mercenary groups don't have a very good reputation." Alvin continued, "But the church army still has to look like a regular army. We can't go It tarnishes the reputation of other churches, right?”
"Church Army?" Xia Ye and others were confused, and they were increasingly unable to follow Alvin's train of thought.
Seeing the confused expressions on the three people's faces, Alvin had no choice but to give them a general introduction to the three churches: Shengshijiao, Xindujiao, and Universalist Church. He also specifically mentioned the so-called Universalist Church's propaganda. The concept of "all beings are equal".
Although Langyun and the others couldn't understand why Alvin chose the Universalist Church for a while, and they couldn't figure out the purpose of organizing this church army. Still, as long as it was Alvin's plan, they would just follow it. Just execute.
"So, don't always shout 'Your Highness, Your Highness' from now on. You have to change your words now," Alvin said.
"Okay! My leader." Xia Ye and Lang Yun said in unison.

Laughed loudly.
"Hey, let me tell you, how did I realize that you guys have gained a lot of courage today? Why do you feel that I was lucky enough to come out of that big mountain range alive, but I have gained the courage of you guys?" Alvin pretended to be angry. .
"People say that those who survive a catastrophe must have good fortune in the future. Captain, don't you have great blessings in the future? When we think of this, we will follow you to enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food, and we will get carried away with joy." Langyun, who has always been the calmest, carried out his frivolity quite thoroughly today.
In fact, Alvin also knew in his heart that during this period, people like Langyun must be very concerned about their own safety. Now that they finally met each other, the men didn't talk about life and death, so they could only use jokes to cover up the complicated emotions of reunion. He knew that he was like an inconspicuous boat in the sea. Even though he looked weak now, he still carried the hopes and future of these people.
"Let it drift and be weak, but it cannot stop the desire to sail far away. If there is no own ship, these people will become lonely souls on the sea. After all, I brought them to the north. If I am irresponsible If he dies like this, what will happen to the people behind him?" Alvin sighed in his heart.
Even though he usually acts cool and unrestrained, it is always difficult for a person like him to live just for himself.
What Alvin doesn't know is that many times a man's charm actually comes from this. There must be something unique about being able to let a woman with a lofty ideal like Onian fall in love with her, but Alvin himself didn't realize it.
"Okay, that's it for today. It's getting late, and you have to rush back to Lomu Town later." Alvin clapped his hands and said, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will definitely come. Yes, I need to explain to you in detail the power relations of the Boer Principality."
"Master, are you going to kick us out now?" Xia Ye teased.
"Otherwise, the captain has other things to be busy with." Langyun glanced towards the princess's room.
Qiao Zhi covered her mouth, suppressing laughter until her ears turned red.
"Hey! You're trying to die, do you really think I don't curse?" Alvin said with an eyebrow.
Before the three of them went out, Alvin hugged them one by one. They all had a lot of emotions, but they didn't say it out loud.
Seeing the figures of the three people galloping away, he sighed in his heart: "These few have arrived, and the stone in my heart finally fell."
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Then he returned to the house, closed the door, turned around and knocked on Onian's door. After knocking for a while, there was no movement, so he simply pushed the door open and went in. Anyway, he was used to being rude to Onian.
"Are they gone?" Onian said without raising her head as she was studying a magic book intently.
"On the strengthening of dispelling magic?" Alvin flipped over the cover of the book abruptly, "Why are you looking at this?"
Onian stared back at him, obviously expressing strong dissatisfaction with his behavior of interrupting others at will.
"I got some news from Kui Qing."
"Um?"
"That Liya is actually one of the five elders of the Universal Church." Alvin said and glanced at Onian, "Their church is actually run by these five elders."
"So, why did you come back so late?" O'Nian asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yes, I went to find Riya to discuss something." Alvin said with a smile.
"To be in his position, he shouldn't be a fool." Onian said lightly.
"Of course, he's not that easy to fool." Alvin said teasingly, "So
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I offered him a huge price. "
"Oh?" Onian laughed and said, "What kind of huge price can you offer now? At most, Kui Qing will earn some money for you. I don't think Liana people are interested in moving a few cars. Looney can handle it if he goes there.”
"Oh, no matter how smart you are, you can't guess what kind of cake I drew for Ria." Even though Alvin said this, he still admired Onian's keen insight. Just see that Kui Qing made a lot of money for herself.
"Really?" Onian became interested, "I'm all ears."
"I told Riya that if they continue to fight like this for a lifetime, they will never achieve anything. If they really want to shake the status of the Holy World, they can only launch a religious war."
"The core idea of this war is to carry forward their so-called concept of 'all beings are equal', distribute the land gained through the war to the common people, and completely dismantle the rule of the aristocracy."
"You mean...to establish a country without nobles?" After hearing these words from Alvin, a trace of surprise flashed across O'Nian's eyes.
"Yes, we must completely overturn the aristocratic rule."
"Your idea is quite bold and dangerous, not to mention the endless dangers that will follow." Onian pondered for a long time and then looked at Alvin and said seriously, "If Riya is also a madman, he might agree to you. "
"Establishing a new system is not an easy task in itself." Alvin said calmly, "This is what Riya and I said - this is a revolution, an unprecedented revolution."
"It depends on whether he has the courage." Alvin said this with a sullen face. He was actually quite sure that Riya would facilitate this, but he was also a little worried that the other elders of the Universal Church would obstruct it.
"Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?" Alvin's expression changed and he laughed, feeling that the way Onian looked at him at this time was very interesting.
"No, it's nothing." An imperceptible blush flashed across O'Nian's cheeks, "I was just wondering what's going on in your restless mind."
"Speaking of this, I still have a novel idea that I haven't told you today." Then Alvin told Kui a series of stories about the 800,000 rupees, as well as his own ideas about paper currency, and talked about it. Onian said.
After hearing this, Onian was speechless for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "I feel that there may be a lack of a profession in this world."
"What?" Alvin asked with a proud look on his face, looking at Onian's expression.
"Dreamer." Onian turned to look at Alvin and said verbatim. Although she said it seriously, it sounded like there was an element of teasing in it.
"Bah, you might as well be called a 'foreseeer'." Alvin spat at her.
"Because I don't know whether it brings blessings or disasters, so it's better to talk about dreams." Onian said slowly.
"Some things, once they have sprouted, cannot be stopped or stopped. It is not something you or I can control. Facing the torrent, everyone is just a mortal."
"But you are the one who dug the embankment." Onian glanced at Alvin and said.
"Do you still remember my battle with that Yu Chen on the distant sailing sea?"
"How could I not remember that I was tied up in a carriage by you?" Onian said coldly, "Why did you suddenly mention him?"
"I remember that the sword with the most domineering killing intent was called 'Harm the Common People'." Alvin said with a sneer on his lips, "Now that I think about it, it's just a move with a nicer name."
Then he sighed softly: "Who in the world can understand the so-called 'harming the common people'?"
Onian looked at Alvin's deep eyes and pinched his cheek gently.
