When Yue Yihun heard that Ling Tianfan was going to expand his army to one hundred thousand, he immediately jumped up, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

"One hundred thousand?

It's so difficult! Under normal circumstances, the city guard of a city only has one or two thousand people.

Tianxucheng expanded to three thousand people because there were three large Hunyuan Kongjing mineral veins to be patrolled below.

Last time you wanted to form a new city guard army and help you expand it by 10,000 people, it was already very difficult. I threatened the master of the military palace, and the old guy only approved it."

He rejected it outright.

"Master, please help me think of a solution."

Ling Tianfan said.

"A normal military leader who commands an army of 100,000 would have the lowest official rank of the Second Grade, and the lowest cultivation level would be Hunyuankong Dzogchen Perfection.

You, the city lord of Tianxu City, are only of the third rank, but the specifications and levels do not match! In addition, raising an army of 100,000 people requires 20 to 30 million in military pay and materials every 10,000 years.

Can your Tianxucheng finances support it?

Finally, in Yue Yi Heavenly Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for a city to expand its army by 100,000.

There's nothing I can do to help you.

I can’t find any reason or excuse to do it for you.”

Yue Yihun said.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he really can't do it.

"Master, the problems you mentioned are not problems."

Ling Tianfan said.

"What the hell is your kid planning?

Since I’ve already thought about it, let’s talk about it.”

Yue Yihun said.

He had no time to answer charades for this boy.

"Master, first of all, I don't need one military leader to command an army of 100,000 people. I only need ten military leaders to command an army of 10,000 people.

Secondly, what I want to form is not a city guard army, but a mining army. The military salary can be earned from the Hunyuan Sky Crystal that mines money.

Finally, isn't precedent broken?

It didn’t exist before, but now that I’ve applied for it, it does.”

Ling Tianfan said.

When Yue Yihun heard this, he immediately understood.

He thought about the possibility and said with a smile: "You kid, it turns out that you are trying to sell dog meat on a sheep's head.

Mining teams have always been hired from outside and then registered in the Merchant Hall. Where can you directly set up a mining army like you?

In this way, does your mining army fall under the jurisdiction of the Military Palace or the Merchant Palace?

In addition, such a mining army must also be given official military ranks. If you are given official military ranks, you must be given military pay.

Then the Merchant Palace, do they still need to give you money for mining military labor?"

"Master, if there are any beneficial things, you just help your disciple to fight for them.

The more, the merrier.”

Ling Tianfan said.

"I'll try my best."

Yue Yihun said.

Apparently, after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that Ling Tianfan's method of selling dog meat to others might be feasible.

Within a few days.

Yue Yihun took the initiative to send a message to Ling Tianfan and said: "The military palace has agreed, but the official rank is the first level higher than the normal level of the city guard.

The Merchant Palace also agrees to provide subsidies to your mining army according to the original mining team's logo, which will not be counted as military pay. However, the Merchant Palace has a condition."

"What conditions?"

Ling Tianfan asked.

"Every ten thousand years, the number of Hunyuan Sky Crystals delivered by your three major Hunyuan Sky Crystal veins will increase from the original 50 billion to 150 billion!"

Yue Yihun said.

"no problem."

Ling Tianfan said.

In this way, his secret account every hundred years can reach at least one million, or even more.

Because the mining army belongs entirely to his private army.

He just needs to change his accounting methods.

As long as he purchases 150 billion Hunyuan Sky Crystals every ten thousand years, the rest can go into his private pocket.

Ling Tianfan doesn't even need to do secret accounting.

Because everything in the three major Hunyuan Kongjing mineral veins is under his control, and no one can restrict him.

Immediately, Ling Tianfan sent a message to the two military leaders Mu Yuanhong and Zuo Chandan: "Come to me!"

Mu Yuanhong and Zuo Chandan received a message from Ling Tianfan and hurriedly came to report.

"Meet the City Lord!"

The two of them saluted in unison.

"I called you here today to tell you two things.

The first thing is that the military salaries of you two city guards will be increased in the future. As for how much the increase can be, it depends on your efforts."

Ling Tianfan said.

When Mu Yuanhong and Zuo Chandan heard this, their faces were filled with joy: "City Lord, there is such a good thing?

How hard are we going to work?”

Ling Tianfan said: "Wait until I finish! The second thing, Zuo Chandan, your second army of city guards can be expanded to 10,000 people."

"Thank you City Lord!"

When Zuo Chandan heard this, he quickly knelt down and thanked her.

The more soldiers he has under his command, the more confident he will be as a military leader.

So, how could he not be excited?

Ling Tianfan continued: "The third thing is, you two arrange the people in your hands to send notices to all the major cities in Yue Yi Heavenly Kingdom.

Let's just say that our Tianxu City wants to recruit ten mining armies, each with a strength of 10,000 people. They will be given military ranks, military pay, and subsidies from the merchant palace. In addition, there will be commissions for mining! The minimum cultivation level must be at the Hunyuan Kongshen realm.

Seats are limited, first come first served.”

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Chandan and Mu Yuanhong were both dumbfounded.

"City Lord, is this...really?"

The two of them seemed unable to believe what their ears were hearing.

What shocked them was not only the military salary income of the 100,000-person mining army, but also the issue of the organization and ranks of the 100,000-person mining army.

A city can have at most two to three thousand city guards.

Their Tianxu City has two city guards, each with 10,000 people, which is considered an unusual expansion of the army.

But now their Tianxu City needs to expand and form ten mining armies of 10,000 people.

It's said to be a mining army.

But when it comes time to fight, this mining army can directly turn into a regular army.

In other words, Tianxu City's army now numbers 120,000.

It is roughly equivalent to the number of troops commanded by a second-grade general.

But the city lord of their Tianxu City is only of the third rank.

It's against the rules.

However, when one considers that Ling Tianfan is the chief disciple and the only disciple of Prince Yue Yihun, it is impossible to predict based on common sense that things that are not in order for an ordinary city lord are in order for him.

"What, what's the problem?"

Ling Tianfan glanced at these two people.

"No problem... no problem..." Mu Yuanhong and Zuo Chandan said quickly.
