From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 91
The next day, Jiang Yuan, who had been busy all night, visited the village with a few people and the village chiefs. Ten slaves began to count the household registrations in the baron territory. The final reward was to restore the status of free citizens.

He spent another 40 gold coins to buy two hundred long knives from the Chamber of Commerce, leaving only 470 gold coins in the initial capital. This part was mainly used as pension and military pay and could not be used easily.

Another day, five hundred selected young men began to compete at the school field outside the city. According to the imperial military system, five men per team, ten men per team, one hundred men per team, and one thousand men per battalion. None of these young men had merit to speak of. , status can only be determined based on the level of force.

Jiang Yuan and Viscount Abel were sitting in the stands. According to the ranking, each person's enlistment fee is different, and the annual military salary is also different. The war can basically be related to the injuries. If there are no dividends, regardless of other effects, even if you win It’s also a loss.

"But why is it so laborious?" Jiang Yuan frowned. He was almost unable to afford it at the beginning, mainly due to food consumption. The daily training requirement for 500 people was an exaggerated figure, and gold coins would not last long.

He sensed that something must be wrong, because the Grand Baron could not even pull out 500 people, and even the territorial guards had 200 people with sufficient food and clothing. Since the results were wrong, there was definitely something wrong with the process.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yuan turned around and said indifferently: "Viscount, where are the taxes of the barony? I have seen the account books and have been to the villages. I need at least [-] shi of food. This year, the territory will be handed over to the earl and the ruling office." The maximum amount is fifty thousand stones."

Viscount Abel: "..."

You also said you wouldn’t check! !
"They're all in the granary. I forgot to tell you." Abel said with a smile. This young master really didn't seem to be here to play house.

"Fill the food gap, and then give me a compensation." Jiang Yuan said briefly. He had to re-evaluate the greed of the imperial nobles. He took away two-thirds. Even he had never been so excessive.

"This... the grain reserves have to be supplied to the count's troops, and the people in the territory also need assistance this winter. The fundamental reason is actually that the weather has been suddenly cold in the past few years..."

Abel prepared countless reasons to explain. Regarding this matter, most people in the city from top to bottom are his allies. Of course, they must treat the baron respectfully, but now that his own interests are involved, he is not ready to let go.

Jiang Yuan understood and said calmly: "To put it another way, I want to steal one hundred thousand shi of food. Will you give it to me?"

In the eyes of the other party, he is just a child who is easily fooled.

In the black and purple light, a 30-meter-long silver-white giant snake wrapped around the stands. The huge and ferocious horn bones easily collapsed the top protective shed. The snake's head finally stopped beside the two people. As its fangs opened, the Viscount was blown away by the fishy wind. I couldn't help but stand up and retreat.

Abel was silent for a moment and said, "Noel, there are many people involved in this matter."

"Then let's put it another way." Jiang Yuan turned his head and asked in a cold voice, "Why don't you take me with you?"

Abel: "..."

Good guy, I thought you were some kind of messenger of justice.

The giant snake dissipated, and before the young men on the campus could recover, Abel asked, "How much do you want?"

"Seventy percent."

"Seventy thousand stones is too much."

"I mean seventy percent of it."

“How greedy!!”

Abel was almost out of breath, "Forty percent at most, 20 stone. How can you guarantee not to leak the secret to the count?"

"Ask your second son to follow me." Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I can't stay out of it after being exposed like this."

He didn't believe that the earl didn't know what kind of mess his subordinates were in. He probably made the same choice as himself. He first resolved the main conflict - Winter Hunting, and the forces that had been targeting the Titus family behind the scenes, and then cleaned up internally.Abel hesitated, "This is indeed the best choice."

"Food delivered to the barony."

In the evening, the competition ended. Jiang Yuan was about to select No. 1 as his adjutant, but was startled for a moment when he saw the person coming.

"Name, age, place of origin."

"Sir, my name is Will. I am 16 years old and come from Suowu Village. I am a blacksmith. My dream is to join the army. The navy is the best, but the local army is also acceptable."

The young man with a naive face scratched his head and smiled. In fact, he only wanted to go to the Imperial Navy, but the compensation given by the Baron was too generous, including enlistment fees, military pay, and pensions. I heard that the Empire had already No more pay.

"At this age, you are at the top of the guard level. You have no resources, so you should have a teacher." Jiang Yuan asked. Will's hometown is on the seaside. In the future, Will will become a member of Esdeath's Hunters and master the armor-type Imperial Equipment Noble Chariot. , the potential is very good.

"Yes, yes, the master retired from the navy. He said that I need to go out for training before accepting the test." Will said honestly.

"The enlistment fee is five gold coins, the half-year military pay is the same five coins, and the pension after death is twenty gold coins. This is the treatment of an adjutant. Is there any problem?" Jiang Yuan said.

"No, sir," Will shouted back.

Jiang Yuan threw the gold coins and a big bag to Will, pointed to the command flags piled on the table next to him, and said, "Take them to train. White is for forward, black is for retreat, red is for left, blue is for right, and white is for center." The one with patterns is approaching with a gun, and the one with hounds is free charge. Write the details on the paper, you can read it."

Will looked at Ling Qi and said blankly, "You can read, but it's too troublesome, sir."

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "Theoretically, this is just the basis in the imperial army. Using food, military pay, and rewards, these orders can be engraved into their instincts and can be punished. Anyway, you have the strength to ensure safety. There are three thousand in the big bag A copper coin, spend it as much as possible."

"Whip, whip?"

"If you don't remember, you will lose touch with the battle formation and die easily. Of course you can refuse. After a few batches of soldiers die, you should understand no matter how naive you are."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and left. The initial casualties of a unit are destined to be heavy. The survivors will be the backbone of the future. After adding personnel according to the framework, they can easily restore their combat effectiveness. Most of the young people who volunteered to join the army are for military pay and food. He just needs to keep an eye on logistics.

……

Two days later, late at night.

Jiang Yuan turned over and dismounted in the woods. The moonlit sea could be vaguely seen in front of him. According to the information from the Black Trust Chamber of Commerce, the three-headed eagle lived on the cliff in front of him all year round. Every morning, this super dangerous species would patrol the territory. Its territory It flies extremely fast and can spit out wind blades that cut through rocks.

The intelligence also mentioned that the other party likes to hunt dangerous species of snakes and rats.

Jiang Yuan pulled out the March of the Dead, and the purple-black light shone at the tip of the knife. A gray-black earth dragon that was almost the same height as a tree appeared. It looked like an insect. The shell was hard but not tough enough. It had two thick claws and four roots all over the bottom. The body composition of barbs.

With the rapid rotation of its limbs, the ground sinks easily, and the most distinctive feature of the earth dragon is the way it opens a passage in the earth.

Jiang Yuan turned back and entered the forest. While the earth dragon was making traps, he had to hunt down several dangerous carnivorous species.
