Fairy Court respects it alone

Chapter 32 The Lizard Man Module
Fort Eighteen Mile, Zhao Ming was just resting on the bed.

The two days of busy work made him feel tired.

The key is,
There is no way to worry, it is all up to him to personally operate and plan his future journey.

There is also a string of mysterious origin that must be stretched, so that others can vaguely notice from the outside that there is someone behind Zhao Ming who is planning for him, and he must make up his mind behind his back, so that Zhao Ming can start at a young age. help!

Two lines, one person with two faces, that is, the two masks trained in the previous life can be switched freely.

But going from the bottom to the top still depends on one's own pretense.

Really tired!

Besides,

There are also these Zhao clan members who have just been promoted to Xiangyong under his hands.

That's right, Zhao Ming still had to consider them, because all these Zhao clan members were promoted from the ninth rank to the second minor rank and one major rank, and directly promoted to the eighth rank Xiangyong, the problem of food and salary came.

Most of the newly recruited folks from the ninth rank are temporary in nature. They just come out to hang out during the slack season, and they happen to want to fight for a future. They only need to give five copper coins a month, even if they are Most of these ordinary people who do not use copper and silver on weekdays are the primitive trade concept of bartering, a little consolation.

Don't underestimate the purchasing power of this copper coin. Five copper coins can already buy five of the fattest chickens and ducks. As for food, you can buy a lot. Five copper coins save some money and can feed a family of five, old and young. More than two months of coarse grains!

If you become a Minzhuang of the ninth rank, you can get eight copper coins!
Just these folks.

Eat, you must be full, and you must be full with three catties of coarse grains per meal!

These are really nothing to Zhao Ming, who still has more than 2000 taels of silver. He just eats and drinks like this, and pays for it in batches. He also needs to buy arrows for archers and gunpowder and lead for gunners. .

If there is no income, it is tantamount to blindly sitting and eating, let alone these brave folks!
200 local brave musketeers of the eighth rank!

Every meal must be coarse grains mixed with refined grains, a full three catties, and some meat!
If you eat coarse grains, your body will be depleted of qi and blood. The Xiangyong of the eighth rank who has reached the vigorous stage must not be deficient, otherwise he will retreat to the ninth rank of Minzhuang. It is just a state of sufficient qi and blood, which is absolutely not acceptable.

Therefore, these township braves still have to buy food, the refined food that maintains their vitality and blood.

Moreover, when the consumption is extremely high during wartime, it is not just to eat coarse grains mixed with refined grains.

Every meal must be refined grains.

You have to eat meat!

Only in this way can we ensure that the qi and blood will not decline, and use consumption to increase the qi and blood, so as to reach the level of the seventh-rank lottery, so that these townsmen can maintain a strong combat effectiveness and can be pulled out to participate in less intense battles at any time.

And these Xiangyong's salaries range from ten copper coins for the eighth-rank Xiangyong to fifteen copper coins for the eighth-rank.

From the seventh rank, there are [-] copper coins, and on the seventh rank, there are [-] copper coins per month.

As for the higher middle three grades.

That's fifty copper coins per month!

Don't say anything else.

Let’s say that Zhao Ming’s 200-member Xiangyong are paid 150 copper coins per month, which is equivalent to 30 silver dimes, [-] taels of silver, not to mention the extra [-] taels of silver for food, and the daily expenses. Miscellaneous.

Equivalent to a year, it takes 600 taels of silver to support these [-] genuine eight-rank Xiangyong.

It seems that Zhao Ming's 2000 taels of silver is more than that.

Look again now.

It only lasted for three years!

Besides, this is a unit supported by the Cathay Heavenly Dynasty, so there is no reason why Zhao Ming was asked for troop maintenance fees.

It is equivalent to saying that Zhao Ming only needs to give these slave farmers in Zhendan some of the most basic food and water, so that they can eat and clothe them warmly. !
"No wonder the tax is so high. Without some capital, there is really no way to support so many troops." Zhao Ming sighed in his heart, thinking of what he had heard before, that Yuli County seems to have the most tax in Linhai County, and now he is in charge of his own family After buying it, I also noticed the value of the firewood, rice, oil and salt: "If there is no income, I will really sit and eat."

600 taels of silver a year is not counting the basic expenses of the Cathay Dynasty for food and clothing.

Count the more and more troops of the Cathay Dynasty.

People eat horse chews.

Ordnance replenishment.

An additional 200 taels of silver has to be counted a year!
This is 800 taels of silver, save some money, Zhao Ming's more than 2000 taels of silver is also a problem!
"I heard that guerrilla envoys can earn money and merit when they go on business trips in other realms." Zhao Ming carefully calculated: "In this case, after the guerrilla envoy's errand is settled, you have to try it first."

It is absolutely impossible to sit on the mountain and eat nothing. Lying on the bed, Zhao Ming felt more and more tired.

But now there is not much sleepiness.

"and also……"

Zhao Ming gently closed his eyes, and a dialog box from the creative workshop appeared in his mind: "There are two more, just got the support reward for upgrading the special unit module!" This is a special reward related to the upgrade of the unit!
Soon, following Zhao Ming's mind communication creative workshop, the dialog box was immediately refreshed.

------------

[Creative Workshop is at your service. 】

[You have 'Special Arms Module Upgrade' x 2 times. 】

[You can choose the arms to upgrade. 】

[Currently you have:]

[Conscripted farmers and horses × 1 team (45 people). 】

[Peasant archers × 4 teams (360 people). 】

[Conscripted spearmen × 2 teams (240 people). 】

【Please make your choice. 】

[Special arms will be extended on the basis of the Cathay Dynasty. 】

------------

Zhao Ming was slightly taken aback by the dialog box in front of him.

"Based on the Cathay Dynasty..."

Zhao Ming pursed his lips: "Extend?"

This made him a little surprised and a little curious.

What should be the basis should be an extension based on the three peasant archers he has.

But what the result of the extension would be, it really made him a little unpredictable.

"The key is which two arms to choose for upgrade and extension."

Zhao Ming pondered.

The slave farmer Ma Jun was excluded by him first.

It's not that he doesn't need cavalry troops, but that the way he uses cavalry troops now is mostly for scouting and rewriting the situation of the battle when the battle is stalemate. At present, this team of peasants and horses is enough.

Including the four teams with the largest number of agricultural shooters who were excluded by him next.

The reason is also here.

The number is large enough, the combat power is strong enough, and there is Zheng Bapin Xiangyong three-eyed gunslinger surnamed Zhao as a supplement.

His units are extremely powerful at long range.

instead,
The weakness lies in the rest, the two teams of peasant spearmen!

"The ability to meet the enemy in close combat is a bit weak." Zhao Ming nodded lightly: "The enemies we are facing now are monsters and bandits with a large number but poor quality. would be dangerous."

The little demon who had just transformed was really like an ordinary gangster, without even a decent armor.

There is no concept of using shields as a means of defense.

The most powerful point is the claws.

But in this way, just like a gangster who robs with a dagger, how much threat can it be?
No matter how bad the people's strength and the country's courage are, they are still soldiers trained by the regiment!
It's a semi-regular army!

However, as long as you have a shield and tough fur, you will not be afraid of bows and arrows.

As long as hand-to-hand combat,

Then,

Conservative archers will be at a disadvantage!

After all, all the martial arts of these archers are focused on archery!
"Then, I will choose to upgrade the two teams of peasant spearmen!" Zhao Ming made a decision to upgrade the weakest melee unit in his army to make up for the weaker defense line. !
With his thinking communication system, the dialogue box of the creative workshop has been refreshed again.

------------

[Creative Workshop is at your service. 】

['Special arms module upgrade' has been confirmed. 】

【You have chosen——】

['Conscripted Spearman' is undergoing a special arm upgrade! 】

[Upgrade begins. 】

[The special arms module is being randomly selected...]

[Randomly selecting...]

[You have successfully randomized the 'Lizardman Spearman' (lizardman unit). 】

[You have extracted the module 'Equipment Shield'. 】

[You have extracted the module 'Hunting Perception'. 】

[You have extracted the module 'Lizard Man Muscle'. 】

[This special module has been fully loaded in the two teams of 'Slavery Spearmen'. 】

------------

With the refresh content on the dialog ends.

"Om-"

In an instant, a special fluctuation emerged.

"Om-"

Then it also triggered a more powerful and mysterious force from this side.

"The Dao of Heaven?!" Even in the room, Zhao Ming could sense the source of the stronger and more mysterious power. It was the power of the upgraded Dao of Heaven that he had been in contact with several times before!

But now, it actually appeared in front of Zhao Ming's eyes again, or in the sky above Dunbao!
"Om—" It seemed as if a mysterious and supreme power was floating down from the sky.

It just happened to cover the two teams of long-handled spearmen that Zhao Ming had chosen before.

"Promotion?" Zhao Ming came to the edge of the window.

He could see the mystical power infusing the two spearmen.

The power of heaven is permeating.

"Om-"

Then, just like before, the two teams of Spears completed their promotion.

Then quietly disappeared again.

The opening in the sky that seemed to be split has also become invisible.

Everything is calm.

but,

At this time, the two teams of peasant spearmen had changed.

Standing behind the window, Zhao Ming looked at the spearmen who were still in the courtyard of the Dunbao not far away, at their apparently 1.8-meter-higher and burlier figures, their obviously stronger bodies and arms, and their left sleeves. The round shields made of small hardwood splicing on the arms all indicate that these long-handled spearmen have completed the upgrade of special templates.

"Lizardman Spearman, the oldest son of the ancient sage, Lizardman?" Zhao Ming pondered: "So the so-called special unit module upgrade means loading modules from other races onto your own unit..."

From this point of view, it is really in line with the creative workshop, with various creative functions!
