God-level impostor

Chapter 196 Ambition
Fu Qing hurriedly walked towards Lin Chen with a smile on his face, "My lord, we are talking about business, just now it was just a way to bargain for me. I pretended to leave, and my lord yelled like that. I can save some money!"

"Then why are you back?" Lin Chen sneered.

Fu Qing sighed, "It can be regarded as a failure of the strategy. The transaction will be made at the prince's price."

Lin Chen nodded to Huang Bing and the others, and those people retreated to a distance.

Back in the lobby, Fu Qing took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to Lin Chen. In order to prove that all the banknotes had been taken out, he deliberately put aside the things he had brought and pulled the hem of his clothes. Lin Chen looked at it upside down.

"How much is this? My lord is too lazy to count."

"600 million taels, originally I brought 800 million taels with me to buy that medicine..."

At this point, Fu Qing had the urge to kill him head-on.

Lin Chen's face darkened, "This king is not buying or selling by force. Naturally, he has the right to dispose of his spoils at will. If you are not willing, you can take it back now."

"I am willing..."

Fu Qing was completely convinced, said in a hurry, picked up the token from the ground and left in a hurry.

Back in the bedroom, Lin Zhennan was pacing back and forth on the floor waiting for news from Lin Chen. Lin Chen took his father to the secret room.

"The current matter has been dealt with, and we still need to meet with Ji Gan. We can't just take advantage of him like this." Lin Chen revealed the matter in a few words.

Lin Zhennan told Lin Chen a few words. He knew what Lin Chen was going to do, and he could not interfere with it, nor could he change his son's mind.

Lin Chen naturally comforted his father, and then asked, "Father, how many people have been recruited by the Guards now?"

"There are 2000 people now, all of whom are martial arts disciples of level five or above." Lin Zhennan replied.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "The next step is to recruit another 3000 people, all of whom must be above the eighth rank of warriors."

"3000 people?"

Lin Zhennan said in surprise, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this."

Lin Chen poured a cup of tea for his father and said, "Let me know if you have any difficulties."

Lin Zhennan pondered for a moment, and said, "There are more than one difficulty. First, let's talk about the issue of food and pay. At that time, the annual salary of the Black Armored Guards in Black Rock City was 150 taels, and the royal army's personal army was 50 taels higher than that standard. 5000 people need at least 100 taels of money. Ten thousand taels, not counting other expenses."

"This is easy to do."

Lin Chen took out the bank note that he had just stolen from his pocket, "This is 800 million taels, I will use it for now."

Lin Zhennan looked at the thick stack of banknotes, and was quite speechless. Lin Chen's ability was getting stronger and stronger, as if the banknotes were produced by himself, and he could take out astronomical figures at any time.

He touched the banknotes. To be honest, he had never touched so many banknotes in his life.

It’s just that he hesitated for a while, and then said, “The problem of food and salary has been solved, but there is still the problem of the source of troops. The original martial arts practitioners in the fief were not many left in the previous war. Pick out such a huge number."

Lin Chen said, "This is not a problem, we can recruit from all over Dayan."

Lin Zhennan thought about it for a moment and shook his head, "Although the annual salary of 200 taels is not low, I'm afraid it won't be that attractive to the warriors from the outer city. After all, they have to leave their hometown and come to the bitter cold northern Xinjiang."

"This point, the child has already considered, they can be allowed to bring their families, and each family can be given 100 taels of relocation allowance."

"That's another 30 taels of expenditure. It's okay for only one or two years. If it takes a long time, the 800 million taels will not be able to support it. After all, those lands are exempted from the annual tax for three years. Now eight This city can be regarded as the poorest people's livelihood, and it can be said to be the most barren city in Dayan."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "5000 people is only the first step goal. In the future, the full quota of [-] people will be recruited. This is also to improve the poor status of the fiefdom. To develop a fiefdom, the first thing you need is a population. Only by attracting a large number of outsiders , in order to develop and grow.

Attract those warriors with their families, the population will increase, and with money in their hands, consumption will be stimulated, and the corresponding supporting industries will be able to develop rapidly.

Only when the military strength grows can it provide a sufficiently safe environment and attract more people, these are complementary.In this way, more taxes will be collected from production, manufacturing, and commerce.At least break even. "

"But, Chen'er, have you ever thought that Emperor Dayan may not let you sit in the position of King Xiaoyao all the time. If you make such a big splash, you will arouse the emperor's suspicion." Lin Zhennan looked worried.

Lin Chen just smiled and said, "It is precisely because of this that we have made preparations in advance and have the confidence to have strong soldiers. The position of a prince is not a big boost to the Lin family."

"Chen'er, don't have the idea of ​​hitting a stone with an egg, it will kill the three clans." Lin Zhennan was startled by Lin Chen's words, stood up and shouted sharply.

"Father, sit down quickly. What the child said is just in case. Right now, I will still be the prince honestly, and I haven't thought about Dayan yet. After all, the emperor treats me well, and I am Nishang's father." But Daxia's revenge, the boy must avenge, and when the time is right in the future, at least half of his country will be taken down."

Lin Zhennan shook his head solemnly, "No matter how prosperous these eight cities are, they can't support this big event, let alone 800 million taels, even 8000 million taels are not enough."

It is of course a great thing to be able to control half of Daxia's country, but Lin Zhennan is still sensible.

Because, he knows, this is simply impossible to achieve.

Lin Chen smiled confidently, "My child knows this very well. There is a way to solve the problem of food and salary. There is a hidden gold mine at present. When the time is right, we will mine it. Father will secretly keep an eye on the available craftsmen."

"How many things are there that I don't know?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Continue to talk about recruiting soldiers. In addition to warriors, we also need to recruit some warrior guards."

"Early Yuan Realm fighters get 1 taels per person..." Lin Zhennan directly quoted the price.

Lin Chen said nonchalantly, "We will recruit 200 people at this price first, with priority given to those with strong strength. Condensing Yuan Realm warriors can also be considered."

Lin Zhennan smiled wryly, "It's not so easy to recruit those who are strong in the Condensed Yuan Realm. Those who can reach the Condensed Yuan Realm are all villains, and they can become generals in the army."

Lin Chen said, "Martial arts and various sects also have strong people in the Ning Yuan realm. At least here, Mr. Xu is recruiting each person at 20 taels. Post the notice far away, and someone will eventually come. As long as the palace transitions safely, In a year or two, things will be easy to say in the future.”

"20 taels is indeed very attractive. In short, you are responsible for the money."

"Okay, father, follow me."

While speaking, Lin Chen turned on the mechanism and led Lin Zhennan out of the secret room.

Lin Chen stopped in front of a large warehouse in the palace.

Lin Zhennan was asked to wait outside for a while before Lin Chen came out.

"Come in and have a look."

Following Lin Chen into the warehouse, Lin Zhennan saw rows of neatly stacked heavy repeating crossbows. He couldn't count how many there were at the moment.

On the other side, there are a large number of crossbow arrows.

"This is a thousand, and all the personal guards are currently equipped."

Lin Chen pointed to the Liannu and said.

Lin Zhennan stroked those crossbows happily, "Counting the previous ones, it can be equipped with two thousand personal guards. Even against 2 people, there is still a chance of winning."

"Father, you can recruit a large number of craftsmen and imitate them. In the future, my goal is at least [-] Liannu troops."

Lin Zhennan nodded, "It's not difficult. As long as you have money, it's easy to do."

After three months of long-distance migration, Lin Chen accumulated more than 3000 million steps, and nearly 600 million steps were consumed by a thousand Liannu and crossbow bolts.It is impossible for him to exchange all the step values ​​for the crossbow.

His focus is on improving strength.

Therefore, after coming out of the warehouse, Lin Zhennan asked Xu Wei to arrange relevant matters. Lin Chen took a look at Mr. Xu who was recovering from his injuries, and then entered the secret room.
