County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

"I see."

Having learned the truth behind the recruitment,

Han Yilin then inquired about the cavalry: "I do have some troops under my command, but unfortunately, none of my soldiers are skilled at riding horses, so there's no way to form a cavalry force."

"If you were to teach soldiers how to ride, how long would it take to see results?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zehao

After thinking for a moment,

I calculated the time in my mind.

"My lord, it is not difficult to teach soldiers to ride. It takes about three days of training for them to master the skills, and then they can be promoted to light cavalry."

three days?

this time,

It was much less than Han Yilin had expected.

But on second thought,

Here,

After all, it's not the real world, and many rules fall under the category of games. The training speed of cavalry cannot be calculated entirely according to reality.

otherwise,

If it were like reality,

It requires years of training, which would take forever.

At this time,

Li Zehao added, "However, you must understand that the three of you have only mastered basic riding skills. To become elite, you still need years of training and real combat experience."

Han Yilin nodded: "Understood."

No elite troops are trained; they must experience real combat.

But...

For Zhatian County at this stage,

You have to have it first.

Then consider the elite.

Anyway, we can recruit the White Horse Cavalry later, so for now, we can just build a light cavalry unit as a temporary measure.

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin opened the recruitment interface of the barracks. He did not recruit too many at once, after all, cavalry is quite resource-intensive to maintain.

"Fifty people, I'll do."

"After doubling the number, there will be one hundred people, and we will gradually expand recruitment thereafter."

[Should we consume 1000 grains, 5000 copper coins, and recruit 50 militia?]

"confirm."

[Will watching GG double the recruitment numbers this time?]

"1"

Entering GG time,

In the screen,

A bald man appeared, standing in front of the camera with a big smile. Han Yilin was quite familiar with his appearance.

then,

It's a line that can be incorporated into DNA.

"Take this SIM card for example. To be honest, I don't pick and choose numbers. Whether a number is good or bad is irrelevant. I pick the SIM card."

"I use China Mobile a lot, it's like going to a restaurant. I just go to whichever restaurant on the street is the most crowded."

"I've heard that nearly 200 million people are using China Mobile, and I trust the masses."

"China Mobile, I think it's a great idea!"

A vintage-style GG

Han Yilin was immediately rendered speechless: "This is the 5G era, and you're giving me a 2G era GG?"

"Are you doing archaeology?"

Fortunately,

Thirty seconds isn't a long time.

When GG ends

One hundred militiamen walked out of the barracks one after another, and Han Yilin arranged for them all to go to the drill ground.

Looking at Li Zehao,

"I'm entrusting these 100 people to you. I hope they can be promoted directly in three days."

Li Zehao clasped his hands in response: "Rest assured, sir. However, to become a light cavalryman, one not only needs to be proficient in horsemanship, but also requires the corresponding warhorse and weapons."

"That's easy."

Han Yilin said casually, "Just buy whatever you need."

......

After the arrangements were made,

Thinking about the corresponding equipment for cavalry,

Han Yilin walked towards the market.

Armor Shop

Zhuang Li is directing his employees to organize the goods.

Upon seeing Han Yilin arrive, he immediately went to greet him: "Lord Han, what do you need this time?"

Han Yilin got straight to the point: "Warhorses, and long weapons used by cavalry."

"How much does an adult need?"

"Seventy-seven horses, plus one hundred long spears."

Zhuang Li smiled and said, "Sir, you are going to build a cavalry? However... we do have warhorses, but there are not enough on hand. I'm afraid you will have to wait a day or two."

Upon hearing the time,

Han Yilin didn't react much.

after all,

Li Zehao's training will take three days, so it's good if we can get it before then.

As for the number of warhorses

Including the warhorses captured from the Pingtian Army yesterday, we are now exactly 77 short.

"It's alright."

"Delivery within three days is fine. What quality are you looking for?"

Zhuang Li replied, "We have both white and green quality horses, but as for blue quality horses, it will probably take a long time to collect a hundred of them."

"Then let's go with the green one. How much does it cost?"

Zhuang Li chuckled and held up five fingers: "Five thousand a bolt."

Upon hearing the price,

Han Yilin frowned.

At this price, seventy-seven horses would cost 38.5 copper coins, and that's just the price of the warhorses themselves.

Simultaneously,

We also need vests, weapons, and subsequent feeding—all of which cost money.

Cavalry, that thing...

It's really not something an average person can afford to raise.

opposite,

Seeing Han Yilin frown,

Zhuang Li smiled and explained, "It's normal for Lord Han to think it's expensive. However, these are not ordinary packhorses or inferior horses. Although these warhorses are only of green quality, they are all top-quality military warhorses."

"Endurance, courage, and physique are all rigorously selected; this is the breed used by cavalry in various countries."

Everyone understands the principle.

Everyone knows that warhorses are precious.

and,

Let alone in ancient times when productivity was low, even in modern times, the price of some rare racehorses can be comparable to that of sports cars.

The key is,

There's really no way to cut corners in this area.

We can't just make do with the lowest quality warhorses, can we?

"Alright."

"In terms of green quality, 77 horsepower."

Hearing that a big business deal had come in,

Zhuang Li's smile grew even brighter: "Then, Lord Han, would you like a disguise?"

"My lord, these warhorses are extremely valuable. Equipping them with a suit of armor can reduce some losses on the battlefield."

"Moreover, the green quality vests are not expensive, only two thousand yuan a pair."

Han Yilin curled his lips slightly.

Two thousand a pair,

It doesn't sound expensive.

But if you add two zeros at the end, wouldn't it instantly become 20? And that doesn't even include the weapons.

Han Yilin did some mental calculations.

If you buy it,

The warhorse and armor alone cost 585,000 copper coins. If you include the weapons, it would easily cost 700,000 to 800,000.

But these,

I can't not buy it.

If the cavalry has already been built, is it just to save on weapons and warhorses? It would be better not to build them at all.

He gritted his teeth.

Han Yilin hardened his heart: "Damn it, if we can't fight for a few more days, we'll go out and sweep around. If we run into another outpost, we'll make back the money."

What's the fastest way to make money?

The peaceful method is naturally monopoly, but for those with armies, it is of course robbery.

Develop the economy?

Nothing beats robbery.

What's the point of forming a cavalry force if not to plunder faster?

"Bought it!"

"Seventy-seven warhorses, one hundred sets of horse armor, plus one hundred long spears, all of which must be of green quality."

Upon hearing this,

moment,

Zhuang Li grinned from ear to ear: "My lord, the long spear is also two thousand each, which adds up to a total of seven hundred and eighty-five thousand."

"I'll round down the five thousand, sir, so the total is seven hundred and eighty thousand."

It seems that they knew,

Han Yilin doesn't have that much money right now.

Zhuang Li quickly added, "Sir, it doesn't need to be paid in full at once; a 30% deposit is sufficient."

"The rest will be paid out when the goods are delivered in three days."

Three days

Han Yilin felt that this should be enough.

"OK."

"Just three days."

Zhuang Li smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "You are so generous, sir."

"Three days later, the warhorses, armor, and long spears will be delivered together."

Han Yilin, too lazy to waste words, chose to pay the deposit.

In the panel,

The money shrank by 26 in an instant.

...

...

...

send!

It feels like we've already lost again.

It's already foreseeable that by 12 o'clock tomorrow, the data will be all green.

I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed...

I just sat in front of the computer for two hours, but I couldn't concentrate on writing at all.

Let's take it easy tonight.

I'll update this for a few more days and see where things finally stabilize.
