Konoha's wife is Kaguya

After thinking for a while, Xiao Fan spoke: "You officers and men are all warriors of my ancestral country. You need your strength to defend your homeland and expand your territory. In the past, I ignored you." , for this, I feel deeply guilty. Now, I want to devote all my efforts to armaments, and I hope you can encourage me!"

After saying that, Xiao Fan cupped his fists and saluted directly to the nine hundred sergeants present.

Immediately, the entire audience fell silent, and the stagnant atmosphere made Xiao Fan very nervous and confused - Could it be... was there something he did wrong?

Immediately, he understood that his worries were in vain, because, after a long period of silence, Xiao Fan responded with bursts of sobs that were so excited that he could not suppress himself.

Xiao Fan raised his head and was a little surprised to find that the nine hundred sergeants in front of him were all like children, with tears streaming down their faces. If they hadn't deliberately controlled it, Xiao Fan absolutely believed that they could "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" cried loudly.

Xiao Fan thought for a moment and suddenly understood - in his opinion, his actions were nothing, but for ordinary sergeants in this period, he was equivalent to the "head of state". "The Emperor" actually said such things from the bottom of his heart to these bitter and bitter soldiers, how could he not make them so excited that they wanted to be driven at will?

Although he, the "Emperor", would often be escorted by sergeants like them to patrol the entire country, this was the first time he had spoken to them like this "with all his heart and soul".

After the 900 sergeants calmed down a little, Xiao Fan spoke again: "First of all, in order to develop armaments, we must first let your families have no worries. Therefore, I have decided that all the officers and soldiers here will make every effort in the future." The monthly salary will be greatly improved according to your own performance, and the corresponding grade and level will be greatly improved!"

If there were a large number of sergeants, Xiao Fan would not say this. After all, the manpower and material resources required to do so would be too staggering, and even if it was achieved to that extent, it would not be able to cover everything. It is very likely that this will lead to some bad consequences.

But now, the number of people is only 900. Xiao Fan said that he, the "Emperor", is still competent. If he can't do it well, then he should stop thinking about developing armaments and just endure it honestly. He can just fight the other country, or he can also wait for his wife Kaguya Otsutsuki to come, and then wait for her to eat the fruit of the sacred tree, and then use his ultimate move to kill the other country in seconds. it is also fine!

Regarding the words "grade and rank" that popped out of Xiao Fan's mouth, many sergeants looked at each other, completely confused.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan then gave a detailed explanation on this matter: "In the next period of time, I will classify your performance into three grades: 'upper', 'middle', and 'lower'. , for elite troops, the monthly salary will be increased by 3 taels on the original basis, but the number of people will remain at one hundred; the middle ones are ordinary troops, the monthly salary will be increased by 2 taels on the original basis, and the number of people will remain at 200; Those below are a miscellaneous army. The monthly salary will be increased by one tael on the original basis, and the number of people will remain at four hundred. The remaining two hundred people are very sorry. Because of your incompetence, I have to ask you to leave the army and become a soldier. An ordinary citizen of my ancestral country!"

"However, don't worry, even if you leave the military camp, I will give those who leave three months' military pay - this... is the last thing I can do for you, so I hope you can Do your best and start the selection tomorrow when you are ugly!" After pondering for a while, Xiao Fan continued.

With that said, Xiao Fan once again clasped his fists at everyone present and ended the "speech" directly.

After Xiao Fan walked into the main tent of the barracks, the short and fat official who had been following Xiao Fan comforted Xiao Fan in a panic and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, at this critical moment, a soldier is a source of strength. , what we should start now is to recruit troops on a large scale, so that we will not have soldiers to stop the enemy's army after they invade our country. Now, not only do you not go to the country to recruit troops, but you are also preparing to lay off two hundred soldiers. What is it? Does that make sense?"

"Soldiers are more important than their numbers. I took a look at the soldiers earlier. Except for the one hundred so-called elites who can fight a little, the rest of the soldiers, except for a few, can't fight at all. You must know that the army of that country is a constant war force that provokes other countries under various excuses and starts wars all year round. Do you think that with our current army, we cannot compare with the opponent in terms of numbers and combat power? Can the army, which is also vastly inadequate, be able to defeat that country?"

Xiao Fan asked the officer in return, and then, without waiting for the other party's answer, he directly affirmed him,

"Such an army can never defeat those tiger and wolf warriors from that country. Therefore, now, I can only take this opportunity to squeeze their potential and allow them to grow up quickly. As long as their combat power increases, You might as well not have the strength to fight!"

The short and fat official stood there in shock. For a moment, he did not come back to his senses - he never thought that the "Emperor" who usually paid little attention to military matters would actually be "one of the soldiers" Does anyone have such insight? This was something he had never thought of before.

"However, even so, I feel that large-scale conscription is still necessary to prevent other countries from attacking our country. This way, our country will not be unable to resist when they invade in large numbers." The short and fat official told Xiao Fan explained his opinion.

"I also understand what you are talking about about conscription. However, it is not the time yet. If a large-scale conscription is carried out at this time, it will only cause further panic among the people. In addition, the autumn harvest is around the corner - the so-called 'the troops and horses are not moved, the food and grass are not used. Go first, you really shouldn’t delay the autumn harvest at this time!”

Xiao Fan was a little moved about the conscription. However, after considering the small population of the Ancestral Country, Xiao Fan still suppressed such impulse. After all, after being in charge of the national affairs of the Ancestral Country for a period of time, Xiao Fan had a profound understanding of the matter. He knew that the remaining grain in the national treasury was no longer sufficient. If the autumn harvest was delayed because of this, then all the young and strong armies of the ancestral country might have been assembled before the other country came to attack. As the saying goes, the emperor still needs hungry soldiers. When there is no food in the granary, these hungry soldiers will definitely cause trouble, and when that happens, the first person they have to liquidate is themselves. The "Emperor" is here.

Although the pudgy official didn't quite understand what Xiao Fan said, he still felt a little unclear, and he already had some agreement in his heart - but even though he had some agreement, he still felt a little confused. He still felt that the “Emperor”’s “handling” of some things was very troublesome to him, and he wanted to ask about it, but he felt that he had already contradicted the “Emperor” today, and he was afraid that if he put forward his own opinions again, It will anger the "Emperor".

Just when the pudgy official was hesitant, Xiao Fan, who noticed something was wrong with his expression, asked in surprise: "You have something to say, but it doesn't matter. At this time of crisis, we should work together to help each other." Avoidance and concealment between people are not allowed!"

"'Son of the Emperor', what you originally said about soldiers being more important than having many soldiers makes sense to me. However, even if you want to have elite soldiers, you can just train them a lot on weekdays. Even if you don't recruit soldiers wholesale from the people, you won't be able to recruit soldiers. Soldiers should be abolished, right? And more importantly, the monthly salary of soldiers at all levels has actually increased. This... is a huge investment. If this continues, how will we get it? "

The short and fat official looked at Xiao Fan with great pain and howled miserably,

"In addition, Lord Emperor, you actually promised to give them three months' monthly payment for the two hundred soldiers you planned to disband. This is completely unnecessary. After all, there are three three hundred soldiers. The monthly payment is another huge expenditure, and this expenditure is completely meaningless!"

"The purpose of abolishing soldiers is to stimulate their sense of competition as much as possible. Only with competition can they make great progress and improvement. As for the increase in monthly salary, how can the sergeants not be given corresponding rewards for their hard work? Yimo They just want to improve their sense of competition and squeeze their own potential. If they don't give them some sweetness, it will be really unjustifiable. If it makes them feel resentful, then the gain will outweigh the loss. .”

Xiao Fan looked at the short and fat official and explained his confusion in detail,

"As for the three months' salary for those who have been laid off - they must feel very unhappy after losing their military positions. Giving them three months' salary can be considered as appeasement to prevent them from causing trouble later. After the game is about to begin, everyone's face will not look good. If there are more resentful people who take the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be even more troublesome. I don't want to go to quell the domestic unrest at this time of distress. Then It will never be a blessing for us.”

"Then... what if they still take the opportunity to cause trouble after taking the money?" After hearing Xiao Fan's words, the pudgy official immediately became anxious. At that moment, he felt that it was even more inappropriate to lay off the sergeants.

"Don't worry, after they take the money, some decent and responsible people will no longer think about causing trouble. Even if there are still some people among them who are unwilling to do so, they want to take this opportunity to cause some trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to connect a few people together. When the time comes, I can use the blood of these people to train my newly trained soldiers. This will save those who haven't trained when facing the army of that country. The rookies who have been on the battlefield are tied up, which is not beautiful!" Xiao Fan said indifferently, with endless blood in his words.

Looking at Xiao Fan who said such words with a calm face, the pudgy official trembled in his heart. Is this... the "Emperor" I know?

However, in an attitude of being responsible to the country, the pudgy official asked the most important question at the moment: "So... in terms of salary for sergeants, is the national treasury still enough to support it?"

"Don't worry, I have made careful calculations and everything is within control!" Xiao Fan said with certainty.

"That's good! That's good! Then... I'll take my leave first!" Then, after bowing and saluting, the short and fat official walked out of the tent where Xiao Fan was.

…………

"call--"

Looking at the pudgy official who had already walked out of the tent, Xiao Fan let out a sigh of relief - not bad! fine! He didn't show any timidity until the last moment, everything was developing according to his original plan, which was perfect!

Although Xiao Fan was just an ordinary college student in his original world, but even so, he still knew a little bit about "giving both kindness and power". However, he knows what he knows, but when he put it into practice, Xiao Fan still found that this Things were a bit tricky, and it just so happened that this short and fat official wanted to explain his military thoughts to the "Emperor", so Xiao Fan took advantage of the situation and the previous scene happened.

Because the original form of Zu Tianzi gave everyone the impression of "gentleness", Xiao Fan still retained this characteristic of himself to avoid others seeing his flaws. However, the gentleness that gave people a vague impression would always be It makes people look down on some things. After all, people are creatures that like to push their limits. Therefore, in the previous conversation with the short and fat official, he appropriately showed a trace of cold blood, letting him know that he was not Not as gentle as he appears on the surface.

Of course, in the previous conversation with the pudgy official, some of Xiao Fan's words were also somewhat untrue - for example, the so-called remark that the salary was within control was Xiao Fan's deliberate deception. , in fact, according to the current national treasury bank, how can it withstand his "generous act"? As the pudgy official said before, the expenditure is too huge. How can a country as small as the country of the ancestors with few people be able to withstand such an expenditure by Xiao Fan?

However, even so, Xiao Fan still believed that this action was necessary - if these sergeants were not fed, how long could he maintain military morale with his previous artificial performance?

Although people will become slaves of other countries after the collapse of the country, relatively speaking, sergeants will receive certain preferential treatment - what is the most noble in "troubled times"? Of course they are these soldiers who dare to fight and have seen blood!

Moreover, in Xiao Fan's private mind, he does not need to maintain this "military expenditure" for a long time. After all, because of his foresight, Xiao Fan knows that the future of the war between the ancestral country and the other country will not be the same. For a long time, as long as he waits until then, if he wins, he can loot some money from the palace treasury of that country to use as military supplies. As for losing... He will lose if he loses, and his country will be destroyed and his family will be destroyed. Death, since the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, he would have no shame to live in the world anymore. After all, he didn’t want to be the slave of Shi Laozi, working hard and being brave. He thought he didn’t have that kind of character. When the time comes, , he only has one chance to die!

Since they are all dead, how can he have time to care about the flood behind him?

As for the issue of military resources or not, it has nothing to do with Xiao Fan!
