Facing this difficult challenging task, Gao Wuyong could only decide to use some unconventional means.

People die for money and birds die for food. As long as we give them enough benefits, are we still afraid that we won't be able to recruit troops?

Once this level is passed, it will be none of their business even if they become deserters.

When he talked to Shen Gongzhen, he did not say it right at once. At first, he only mentioned recruiting 10,000 people, and did not directly say that he needed to recruit 30,000 people.

When Shen Gongzhen heard Gao Wuyong mention the number ten thousand, he shook his head and said no.

Spring is not the season when wars are most common, and having these 30,000 people eating, drinking and eating will become a problem.

The people above always make various promises before recruiting troops, but after being exploited layer by layer and getting into his hands, he often doesn't even get half of them.

If one person is not careful, lacks food and clothing, and has poor management, and these ten thousand people riot, no matter how big the bull is, they will be chewed to the core.

Gao Wuyong said to Shen Gongzhen: "Don't worry, I will support you this time and I will never let you suffer. You can do this...and so..."

He put his mouth to Shen Gongzhen's ear and whispered quietly.

After hearing this, Shen Gongzhen looked at the sky with a dull look for a while, and then said doubtfully: "Is this really okay?"

Gao Wuyong nodded: "Just do it, this is what the city lord wants..."

Gao Wuyong's method is actually very simple, which is to increase the commission for recruiting "cannon fodder".

In the past, it cost ten taels to recruit a cannon fodder soldier, but now it costs twenty taels.

In the past, the salary of cannon fodder was one tael of silver per month, but now it has been increased to two taels.

As long as the commission is increased, it is impossible not to recruit people.

The only problem is that such a high commission is unsustainable. If it doesn't last for a month or two, the city lord's mansion will have no silver supply.

However, Gao Wuyong believed that he had returned power to Di Lin, so the issue of paying high commissions to these cannon fodder soldiers had been passed on to Di Lin.

This not only solved the shortage of quotas in the City Lord's Mansion, but also created an unsolvable problem for Dilin.

When Di Lin can no longer hold on, the city lord's palace may be able to take back the political power. Then it will be enough to use some wars to consume these cannon fodder soldiers.

This is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone!

Gao Wuyong couldn't help but nod in praise of his "smartness and wisdom". He was worthy of being the chief steward of the city lord's palace, always coming up with "unexpected strategies" at critical moments.

After Shen Gongzhen received Gao Wuyong's order, he began to promote a large-scale plan to expand his troops.

Let your capable generals be sent to the villages and towns below one by one, and the people below will be promoted one by one. The price of cannon fodder and auxiliary soldiers joining the army will also be doubled.

The population of the entire area under Dilin's jurisdiction is almost 700,000. In autumn and winter, only 10,000 people were recruited. Now there are only one or two thousand of these cannon fodders left. It has only been two or three months and they have to be replenished.

With 10,000 people, it is indeed a bit difficult.

In the past, cannon fodder mainly recruited old and weak soldiers, and young people would not be used as cannon fodder. This would cause the population to decline and would not be a good thing for the management of the fiefdom.

But now Beimingkang doesn't care about it and lets his men do whatever it takes.

In order to recruit enough auxiliary soldiers, various deceptive methods were used, and even young hunters were told to enter the auxiliary army camp if their physical condition was suitable, and they were given a spirit-gathering pill to give them a chance to advance to the level of warriors.

Tiger Roar City always keeps its word when recruiting soldiers. With this order, many people came to sign up.
