"That won't work."

Zhou Chong said with a wry smile, "These 200,000 people were carefully selected. That's all, it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction from many people, saying that we are openly recruiting in Shicheng, but we have turned people away."

"Recruiting is recruiting. Whether it is used or not depends on us. The soldiers are good, not too many. I think, not only can we not lower the threshold, but also raise the threshold."

Ye Tianze said, "We just want to tell the whole Buzhou Mountain, Shicheng only needs the best, those weak people, let them go to the five major alliances, go to the legion, we didn't force them to come."

"How much is the cut?" Zhou Chong asked.

"One hundred thousand!" Ye Tianze said.

"..." Zhou Chong.

"Don't look like your parents are dead." Ye Tianze said, "You'll understand later that 100,000 is better than 200,000."

"It's really only 100,000?" Zhou Chong asked.

"Only one hundred thousand." Ye Tianze affirmed.

Zhou Chong was helpless and had to agree to convey it. In his opinion, the 100,000 army was still too little, and Shicheng was expanding rapidly.

The first layer has just been digested, and immediately entered the second layer, so naturally more troops are needed to maintain the immediate interests.

But Ye Tianze thinks differently from him. Although Shicheng is rich in resources now, it is also very useful. It is not too much for Shicheng to raise an additional 100,000 troops.

But in the long run, the resources of these 100,000 troops can be directly transferred to another 100,000 troops, and good steel is used on the blade.

And what he wants to build is a fully armed army of 100,000 people, and these 100,000 people will also become his core team in the future.

"It's not too late, send an order to Li Chaoying and tell her to cut off the army immediately."

Ye Tianze said.

Zhou Chong wrote it down, but he was sweating profusely when he left. He found that he was very relaxed when talking to Zhuge Qi.

But talking to Ye Tianze made him feel like he had seen the old general, and the majesty made him not even dare to look at him.

Li Chaoying at the foot of the mountain quickly got the news that 100,000 people were abolished at once, which was indeed a problem for Li Chaoying.

But she quickly thought of a way to directly assign these 100,000 people to the reserve, without receiving Shicheng's salary, but they can join the standing army of Shicheng first in the future, and they can also live in Shicheng.

This caused a huge sensation in Shicheng. You must know that these 100,000 troops are half of Shicheng's army. Many people managed to sneak into Shicheng.

At first, it was fine. These 100,000 people just wanted to make a statement. How can a good standing army become a reserve?

But as time passed, the grievances grew, and with the addition of the people from the five major alliances, 100,000 people mutinied immediately.

However, they didn't know that Li Chaoying was waiting for them to mutiny, and she had already figured out all the spies from the five major alliances and raised in Shicheng.

Under the leadership of the master, Ming, the elite of Shicheng went out and killed all the spies in the 100,000 army in just one hour.

Without the leadership of those spies, the 100,000 horses calmed down, and when they knew that Li Chaoying agreed to give them a month's salary as severance pay, they immediately stopped.

Those who are willing to stay in the reserve can give priority to joining the standing army in the future, and then switch from the standing army to Huben. Those who are unwilling to stay in Shicheng can leave with severance pay.

Although still caused a lot of controversy, but the matter has subsided.

"Good boy, 100,000 people, if you say you will, you will have the courage." Sun Qiqi, who heard people's discussions in the Hunter's restaurant, expressed his admiration.

"Everyone is constantly expanding. Only he doesn't expand and drives people out." The shopkeeper of the restaurant said, "I really can't see where the courage is."

"You don't understand this. Shicheng raises 100,000 troops and 200,000 troops. Those are two concepts. The resources consumed by 100,000 people can be converted into Huben. Not only does it not weaken the combat effectiveness of Shicheng's army, but it is It has strengthened the combat effectiveness of the remaining 100,000 troops."

Sun Qiqi said, "Besides that, he has another purpose, to cut down the 100,000 troops, which is for Lu Xiufu to see and tell Lu Xiufu that as long as Shicheng only needs 100,000 people, it will not threaten the rule of the legion. , didn't you see that in recent days, the Legion's resources to Shicheng are getting less and less? Especially those places, they are all dead!"

When the shopkeeper heard it, he understood and said, "Even so, the dismantling of the army will cause great dissatisfaction. If you want to recruit in the future, it will be difficult."

"Then you are wrong. Not only will the abolition of the army not affect Shicheng's future recruitment, it will even attract more people to flock to it."

Sun Qiqi said, "Moreover, these will be the real strong people, not the weak people who want to come to Shicheng to hang around."

Sure enough, just after Shicheng abolished the 100,000 troops, Lu Xiufu immediately ordered that one-tenth of the quota for the White Tiger Corps recruited into Buzhou Mountain be given to Shicheng.

For the five major alliances, this is not good news, but Ye Tianze on the mountain is happy.

"Lu Xiufu really isn't a stingy person," Ye Tianze said.

Only then did Zhou Chong understand Ye Tianze's other intentions, and he admired him even more. Although the army is now full, Shicheng can recruit more, such as Refiners, Array Masters, and Alchemists.

It's literally killing two birds with one stone.
