Chapter 107: Rapid expansion

Zhang Ziqiang has a lot of appetite and has to swallow 50,000 retired soldiers in one bite. But when he heard that he was also here for development, Baru frowned even more and sighed: "I'm going to tell me that you are not the only one who likes these retired soldiers. Many families have talked to me. I hope they can hire them all at once! However, there are less than 100,000 people in the border guards' Qi refining period, and these people have not reached the retirement period, and have now been sent to open mountains and plant trees."

"A normal retired soldiers have been in the army for eight years, and all have the cultivation level of the foundation building stage or above. It would be a pity if they also go to open the mountain. I have talked to my brothers below that if they are only hired at the salary of civilian workers, they are unwilling to go. They would rather go to the transportation industry and do things, and their income is higher!"

Zhang Ziqiang felt even more itchy when he heard that these people were all in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but how to arrange them? It is indeed a waste to use them as a Qi Refining Stage, but his private army can only recruit 4,000 people. Even if His Majesty Carus agrees, he can't afford to support these 50,000 private army.

The private army is a mandatory system, unlike the kingdom's army, with a monthly salary of more than twenty gold coins. The seventh-level monk in the foundation-building stage works in the transportation industry and can earn 10 gold coins in a month. Because the private army is also practicing, although it cannot be calculated based on the driver engaged in transportation, the average 20 gold coins is still required. The monthly salary is one million gold coins, as well as the expenses of spiritual gathering array crystal stones, food, clothing, elixirs, etc. With his current financial resources, he can't afford it!

"Marson, among the 50,000 retired soldiers, how many families are nobles or wealthy businessmen?" Zhang Ziqiang thought that if there were nobles and wealthy businessmen's children, even if he wanted to recruit them, he would not be able to recruit them. They would definitely have to go back to their family to develop.

"Hmph! The children of nobles or wealthy businessmen are all staying in the army. Now they are all converted into city defense forces. They are just getting married during peacetime. After the city guards are divided into various towns, they are also a helper for their family, and their families have all established relationships and gossip."

"The military and political affairs department are fucking, and they naturally have to do their jobs if they collect money from others! Some of the 50,000 retired soldiers are not yet in their retirement years, because others have to retire early! They used to fight for retirement, but this time they are all fighting to stay in the army! Everyone who retires this time is civilians!" Baru angrily told him the reason. It was a pity for these good soldiers to retire.

This foundation-building stage is not as good as the ordinary Qi Refining stage, but it is not as easy to find a job, because most of the military practices are practicing combat skills. Even if they are above the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, their cultivation reaches the level of being able to make talismans and alchemy, they still need to learn again to find things.

If they want to be vegetable farmers and hired workers like ordinary civilians, they are unwilling to be guards. No one in the big family will be like Zhang Ziqiang, a nouveau riche. They have their own tribe members in the family. Who would be at ease to invite an outsider to be a guard, let alone have to build a spirit gathering array for them to practice? Isn’t it much more reliable to cultivate their tribe members with these conditions?

They only have one way to choose from, that is, to be coachmen, and each transportation is their destination! But as long as they choose this path, it means that their cultivation has reached its peak in their lifetime. They do things in the transportation industry, and they spend all their daily conversion of true energy in the teleportation process, and they have no energy to nourish their dantian. They can't even use the spirit gathering array that can be used in the army. Where can they improve their cultivation?

Zhang Ziqiang thought that he had the unique ability of the Spirit-absorbing module, so that monks above the eighth floor of the foundation building can learn to make talismans, but they can arrange it. At best, it took three or four years to train the monks to learn to make talismans and arrange arrays from scratch. When the monks succeed in their studies, his family has the strength to self-control, so there is no need to order array talismans from others.

Even though this move would offend many small and medium-sized families in the Kingdom, it would be at least three or four years later. I don’t know what the situation was.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziqiang made up his mind and starved the timids to death. He didn't believe that the resources he had in his hands would be short of gold coins! He stood up and said seriously to Baru: "Marson, I will take over all the 50,000 retired soldiers. I will choose 4,000 as a private army. I have another plan for the rest, and I can guarantee that all of them can be settled!"

Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang was not like joking, Baru asked suspiciously: "Didn't you plant trees through the mountains?"

He laughed and said, "I will never do this overkill!"

Seeing that he answered so affirmatively, Baru became more excited and asked quickly: "Brother, do you have any good methods? Tell me quickly and everyone will discuss it!"

He pretended to be mysterious and said, "The Marshal knows that the newly built spirit gathering array in Rositing County now can save more than 60% of the crystal spirit gathering array. That is my skill!"

Baru asked in confusion: "Do you want to hire them to make talismans? But among these people, there are only seven or eight thousand people above the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and most of them have not learned to make talismans. They are good at fighting and killing, and I am afraid they can't make talismans for a while!"

"Marson, I am planning to select 4,000 of the retired soldiers with the main attribute of metal as private troops. All of his family moved to Rosiding County to distribute mountains to help him settle his family. After the crystal wheels on the flat ground are cut down, they can be exchanged back. These 4,000 private troops have the retirement money of the kingdom. I also pay a salary here every month. I guess it should be fine to settle it."

It is reasonable to arrange these four thousand private troops, and Baru doesn't find it strange. The key is that the remaining tens of thousands of people. Baru keeps nodding and listens carefully to his explanation.

"The remaining 46,000 people who are willing to follow me must bring all the young and old families to Rossiding County. Now all the nobles in my county have developed their own developments. It is not difficult for these retired soldiers' families to find a job and be hired."

"As long as these more than 40,000 people settle down in Rosiding's house, I can set up a separate college for them. The tuition fees after admission are free. These people can use the college's spirit gathering array and query terminal for free. I am also willing to lend them gold coins interest-free, so that they can buy spiritual materials for practicing talisman making, and then make money and pay them back after they have achieved success. I only require them to sign an agreement with my family after they have completed their studies!"

Marshal Baru asked anxiously: "What agreement?"

"After they finished their studies, the array talismans they refined within fifty years could only be sold to the nobles of the younger brother's family and Rosyding County, and they were not allowed to take out in other counties. Of course, the price of the array talismans was also calculated based on the market price at that time."

Baru thought for a long time before sighing, "Brother, I'm so generous, I can't have as many fools!"

Zhang Ziqiang's move seems to have provided a lot of free resources, but in fact, you can tell that the money is not too much. The academy needs to be cultivated anyway. Now he is just expanding the scale and does not need to add more gold coins. With more than 40,000 students, he will recruit some people from the county. Even compared with the two major formation academies in the royal capital, the number of people may not be smaller! This move has made Rosidin Advanced College become one of the few colleges in the kingdom.

Barbara treasure critic originally needed to be installed, and there was no need to increase investment. How much energy can it consume just adding some query terminals? The free use of the spirit gathering array is big. Based on the small spirit gathering array, there are four batches per day, each batch of 30 people, and each spirit gathering array has no problem. The academy has installed a total of 500 small spirit gathering arrays to meet the needs. Now the spirit gathering array is all made by his family, and the cost is controlled within 2,500 gold coins. A total of about 1.3 million gold coins are required. Each spirit gathering array uses the third-level crystal of hardware coins every day, and the monthly expense is 75,000 gold coins!

Interest-free loans are also a big sum of money, and it is estimated that five million gold coins are indispensable, but this money is only a few years to borrow.

In the past three or four years, Zhang Ziqiang's total investment was less than 10 million, of which 5 million were loans, and the actual expenditure was only 5 million, but he received more than 40,000 tale-making and formation engineers. These people said they had only signed for fifty years, but with a little use of some means, most people would probably have to work for him for the rest of their lives.

These 40,000 people did not suffer any losses. They could find a good way out, but instead took advantage of them. The Zhang Ziqiang family also relied on these manpower to become a giant like Edra and Stanlo's family! From the perspective of development speed, it was not as fast as it was all through their own training! Of course, the foundation was that the two families were not as stable as the personnel control strength was much weaker.

With such development, Baru has to say a big deal. This is a path that his predecessors have never taken and a good way for the family to quickly improve their strength. Moreover, others can't learn this method. How can ordinary marquis have a fiefdom to sell? How can they gather so much money? How can they have exclusive technology like his spirit gathering module, without fear of being unable to sell the product?

Although Zhang Ziqiang has many money-making projects, he also spends a lot of money. However, people on earth pay attention to "six lids and seven barrels" when doing business. As long as they can cover the buckets and buckets, they can't help but learn something, and they are not as honest as the people in this world do business.

His biggest expense is 4,000 private troops, and the average salary of 20 gold per person per month requires 80,000 gold. The private troops must use the Spirit Gathering Array, and they have to regularly distribute some pills, plus food, boarding, clothing and other expenses. A total of 200,000 gold coins are required per month, which is 2.4 million gold coins per year!

This is not considered the weapons of the private army. A knife costs two or three hundred gold coins. A full set of armor and other equipment is calculated. Each soldier's equipment costs at least five hundred gold coins, which requires two million! So raising soldiers is the most expensive.

Fortunately, there are still a large number of real estate in the southern half of Rosiding. With the income from the spirit restaurant and the spirit-gathering module, the existing gold coins are enough to be invested in the initial investment.

After half a year, he sold out the real estate in the county and collected more than 10 million yuan in land purchases for civilians every year. The expansion of the spirit-absorbing building within the kingdom has been completed. After expanding the brewing scale next year, he can generate a net profit of 5 million yuan per year. Now, selling the spirit-absorbing module alone can also make him more profits per year. In the future, with the application of the spirit-absorbing module in the formation, he will make more profits.

Zhang Ziqiang is not afraid of not being able to support these 50,000 people!
Chapter completed!
