Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 439: : Prepare for military expansion

At the end of the day's queue training, Maslan and the others dragged their tired bodies to have dinner with the guards of the Alpine Fort. The queue training was actually not tiring. What was really tiring was the memory that Simon had given them.

"Brother Galken, do you think it's really useful for us to train like this?" Ma Silan sat next to Galken with his job bowl and asked.

Galken shook his head expressionlessly: "I don't know if it will be useful, but since it is Master Simon's wish, then we have to implement it, right?"

There was a wry smile on Ma Silan's face. Of course he knew this, but this training mode, which was different from the traditional army, was really unacceptable.

Glancing at the other side, Harris and the others who had meals with his retainers and branch children clearly, Maslan suddenly came up with an idea, leaned into Galken's ear and said, "Brother Galken, do you want me to go and check on those people?" Spy on intelligence?"

Galken also secretly glanced at Harris and the others, then nodded imperceptibly.

After getting the permission, Ma Silan quickly took his job and sat next to Harris again.

"Well, Harris...platoon leader, where are you from?" Maslan asked curiously.

Harris glanced at him lightly, and then replied blankly: "Southern, Dougherty City, my father is a royal knight, and now leads the King's Wing Knights. The four of them are descendants of Grand Duke Gaseppe."

Before Maslan could continue to ask questions, Harris told them all about the situation, which made Maslan feel awkward for a while, as if Harris was telling him, your way of listening to news is really childish as well.

After being a little embarrassed for a while, Ma Silan's face returned to calm, and he continued to ask cheekily: "Well, Platoon Captain Harris, do you know the meaning of our new army training method?"

Harris shook his head when he heard the words. He didn't know the effect of Simon letting them train like this, but he always believed that Simon was not a fool and would create a new army whose combat effectiveness was not as good as the traditional army.

"I don't know what's the point of this training method, but since Simon...my lord told us to do this, then we just have to do it!" Harris hesitated, but finally said the word "my lord" , From a classmate with the same status to a superior and a subordinate with a different status, this feeling always makes people feel sour.

Ma Silan suddenly looked a little disappointed, and said: "If we don't know the meaning of this kind of training, I'm afraid it won't be long before we all lose the motivation to continue training!"

Harris took a deep look at him and said, "Since you don't know the meaning of this kind of training, then take it as physical training. Are you not tired enough today?"

Ma Silan froze, then left with a smile.

In a room somewhere in the castle, this is the temporary study that Valery arranged for Simon.

In the rough and simple room, Simon sat behind a simple wooden table, and stood in front of Xiver, Deborah, and Cirillo.

"Knight Xavier, I need you to recruit recruits. I need about a hundred people. How long do you think it will take to recruit them all?" Simon asked Xavier.

"My lord, do you have any requirements for the recruits?" Xi Weier asked respectfully.

"Requirement?" Simon replied after a moment of thought: "Well... First of all, it must be a free citizen who has a free body, that is, the people of the common class. I don't want to recruit some tenant farmers, and then be troubled by other lords."

Xi Weier nodded and asked, "Are there any more, my lord?"

"Secondly, what I want to recruit is the standing army. Those recruits must be mentally prepared to be stationed in the barracks." Simon continued.

Xi Weier nodded again, and said, "My lord, do you have any requirements for the recruits' physical fitness and equipment to carry?"

Lords in this era recruit troops, especially regular troops, generally have strict requirements on physical fitness, and also require recruits to bring their own weapons and equipment to report. If they do not have weapons and equipment, then the Lord will also rent them some weapons and armor. But the cost will be deducted from the salary.

Simon shook his head: "Healthy, sound limbs, no intellectual defects, men between the ages of 20 and 30 do not need their own weapons and equipment."

Xi Weier was taken aback, Simon's requirements for recruiting recruits were too simple, and there were a lot of people who met the requirements.

"My lord, what is the salary of the soldiers?" Xi Weier bit the bullet and asked, the requirements for recruiting recruits are so low, generally speaking, the salary will be relatively low.

"Ordinary soldiers get four silver coins a month, and squad leaders, which are officers equivalent to squad leaders, get five silver coins a month. The salary increases sequentially with the advancement of the position." Simon said calmly.

Xi Weier froze immediately. It wasn't that the salary offered by Simon was low, on the contrary, the salary was too high.

Generally speaking, among the human countries, the salary of the standing army, that is, the regular army, is about four gold coins per year on average, which is about forty silver coins.

But the average value has always been different. Taking the poor and desolate southern border as an example, the salary level of the standing army is about 30 silver coins per year.

But what about Simon? The requirements for recruiting recruits are so low, they don't require hard physical fitness ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and they are not required to bring their own weapons and equipment, but the annual salary is as high as forty-eight silver coins.

You must know that the knight of Xiweier, the chief guard of the Alpine Fort, and the master fighter, the total annual salary is only about 100 silver coins.

"Well, my lord, isn't your treatment of soldiers' salaries a bit outrageous?" Xi Weier asked with a twitching face.

Simon shook his head and replied with a smile: "It's not high, so let's do it like this, anyway, I have money now!"

Xi Weier instantly petrified, anyway, I have money, what a simple and unpretentious reason this is!

After instructing Xi Weier to recruit recruits, Simon turned his head to look at Deborah.

"After the recruitment of recruits is completed, our manpower will increase to more than 100 people. We can't continue to live in the Alpine Fort with the cheek. We must have our own camp and logistical support.

Before the recruits arrive, you must purchase some military tents, quilts and food. I will choose an unclaimed land outside the alpine territory to build a camp during this period! "

Simon threw a gold card into Deborah's arms and said, "This is a thousand gold coins. You recruit your own staff to form the logistics department. After purchasing the supplies for the recruits, I still need you to find me a costume designer." division, and then purchase a large amount of cotton and linen, and recruit weaving workers to build a weaving workshop, is there a problem?"

Deborah looked a little puzzled, and asked, "Why are you looking for a fashion designer and setting up a textile workshop?"

Simon smiled and said, "Of course we will distribute uniforms and bedding to our new army!"

"Huh?" Deborah and Xi Weier were stunned again. They couldn't help but pay such a high salary and give them free clothes and bedding. Is Simon raising an army or raising a son?
