Chapter 161: Cultivation is important
Although Yanxi strongly opposed it, the monkey posted the final personnel arrangements for the new army. However, it was not what Yanxi expected at the beginning to promote her confidants to become the governor.
Except for Yanxi's people, the rest of the other positions except for a squirrel military doctor who serves as the accountant are all empty.
Not only did the monkey not directly appointed, but even the centurion and sergeant in the original team were removed from office. Everything was broken up and we started over.
According to the monkey's order, the deadline will be three months. After three months, the assessment will be carried out according to the progress of their respective cultivation, and whoever is stronger will be promoted. Before that, the original position will be based on it.
"There are still such people? Do his centurions have no objection?"
"It seems...no objection."
"Will there be no problem like this? Pay attention to see if anyone has any opinions on him. If so, try to buy it as much as possible. Maybe this is an opportunity."
"promise."
Yanxi, who has been living in the demon capital for many years, grew up under the protection of her senior brother, obviously doesn't know what monsters like monkeys are thinking, and doesn't know what those front-line troops who have passed through life and death are thinking.
Although the monkey's troops were not a single piece, they were definitely not broken by just poking a needle. Yanxi's bribery action did not achieve any results.
The day after the list was announced, Bai Shuang and Fei Chan were ordered to buy elixirs, a large number of elixirs and various exercises.
"As long as you are willing to practice elixirs and techniques, please do enough!" This was the bold statement released by the monkey. Amid the cheers, even the little bit of resistance caused by the monkey's announcement the day before was completely covered up.
"Super enough? Where did he get so much money?"
"I don't know this... the last general."
"See how long he can play!"
Yanxi didn't know that the monkey was still holding 200,000 silver claws in her hand.
In fact, it is not just the 200,000 silver claws. After taking office, Yaodu will provide military pay to the new army. It is not too much or too little, and there is always a 50,000 military pay per month. This is compared with the standard configuration of Yaodu's troops.
However, in the Lion Camel Kingdom, the maximum distribution of military pay for 3,000 troops per month is only 20,000. Including the layers of exploitation, the maximum is only 10,000 silver claws. Even if the price problem in the demon city is calculated, the maximum is 20,000 silver claws is enough to maintain the original state of the army. In addition, more than 60,000 silver claws in the team are deer demons with no cost...
From a certain perspective, the troops that are used to being poor have their benefits. They have low requirements but no reduction in combat effectiveness. Even those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, the poor troops will be more aggressive when fighting.
This means that the monkey can spare a lot of money to improve the army's cultivation.
A large number of elixirs and exercises were transported into the camp.
"Our top priority now is to improve our cultivation. Use all kinds of ways to improve our cultivation. Otherwise, there will be six god-transforming realms on the opposite side. If you are not careful one day, we will die. But if you live, hehe... the demon will live for a lifetime, and there will be only one chance. Do you understand?"
The monkey stared wide and grinned.
On the other side, Qijiao, Baifrost, Big Red, Black Tail, Fat Intestine, Bull Head, Squirrel Military Doctor, and the five centurions whom he first inherited from the hands of the lizard spirit: pheasant, fox, hedgehog, antelope, and hyena. They held the skills and pills he had just sent, and nodded in a daze.
The news quickly reached the grassroots level.
Yan Xi scoffed at the monkey's practice of focusing on practice.
"Are you expecting the little demon to improve your cultivation? Humph, if you can improve your cultivation, will they still be the little demons?"
"If the elixir skills are sufficient, maybe..."
"That's useless. If you want soldiers, are you still afraid that monsters will not be able to recruit? How high are you in your cultivation? It depends on whether you can afford your salary. Even if he improves his cultivation, will he still have to pay additional salary in the end? In that case, why do you have to spend your own money to improve their cultivation? I have never seen any demon king do this."
Time passes by bit by bit.
For three months, the monkey's men had almost never stepped out of the camp except for the white frost and fat intestines they bought every day.
Almost at all times, Yanxi stood in her attic and could see the demon soldiers under the monkey meditating and practicing in every corner of the camp, even in the early morning. Every morning, she would hear the sound of reciting. That look, she really tried her best to practice.
Not only demon soldiers, but also monkeys. They live in simplicity every day, and have almost no achievements in formal combat training, and devote all their energy to their own practice. The entire camp is as calm as a military camp, but rather like a residential area.
As time went by, everything on the monkey was in order, but the people on Yanxi's side complained.
"Why are everyone in the same army? They have martial arts and pills, but we don't!"
"Then you guys go and hang out with him!"
With a word, the soldiers and generals who came to complain were all stunned.
Seeing that the subordinates looked unrighteous, Yanxi also instantly understood that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words: "This matter is my chief minister, and I will report it to the Prime Minister. Soon, your elixirs and techniques will also arrive."
After this statement, the generals' expressions calmed down a little.
There is a saying that is right, "Don't worry about lack of food but not equality." Before the monkey, no one has ever assigned elixirs or exercises to his subordinates like this. Even if there are, it will be given privately to a few confidants, otherwise it will be treated as a reward and rewarded according to merit.
The monkey was obviously messing around with the rules.
In any case, the ball is thrown and Yan Xi must catch it. Stabilizing people's hearts is the top priority, but don't let the poker be broken first if you don't dig it up by then.
However, even Yanxi can find a monkey with her knees and knows that it is impossible. Since that is the case, she can only find a monster with a lot of eyes.
"You need elixirs and exercises?"
"Yes." After taking a deep breath, Yanxi said hesitantly: "I really have no choice, so I have to come to find my senior brother."
"Even if the military spending is approved, he will leave. Besides, no one has ever done this before. It will break the rules."
"But, that dead monkey, he is doing this now."
"That's him! How much money can he spend on these expenses? Wait until he's ready, he can't hold on for long." Turning his face, the multi-eyed monster explained to Yun Xi beside him: "Check how many silver claws he has spent in this period of time, and where did these silver claws come from."
"promise!"
Cultivation requires money, even if you have good qualifications, the same is true. If a little demon with average qualifications wants to improve his cultivation, he needs more silver claws. This is the truth that can be used in all three realms.
The military expenditure granted to the new army will definitely not support such expenses.
With Yun Xi's connections in the Yaodu business world, things quickly emerged.
“They almost never bought it in the same place?”
"Yes." The spy who came to report nodded and said, "Their things are all a little bit, and they buy everywhere. Most people who sell things will not ask where the other party comes from, as long as the number is right, so... we only found a little bit."
"It seems... we were careless. What about the silver claws?"
"The time span is too long, and I can't find a few silver claws. However, it can basically be concluded that in addition to the military pay, some of them were from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Yun Xi opened her eyes slightly widened.
When the message was sent to the Duo-Eye Monster, the Duo-Eye Monster was also surprised.
"So, I was cheated by the stone monkey, and he falsely reported the amount he owed to the Macaque King?"
Yun Xi lowered her head slightly and did not dare to make a sound.
Yanxi, who was standing beside her, rushed to say, "Senior brother, I'll go and get it back now!"
"No, I won't come back." The Duomin waved his hand and sighed: "It's me who underestimated him."
As he said that, leaning against the back of the chair, the multi-eyed monster slowly closed his eyes and asked with a tired look: "Do you know how many silver claws he has spent in total during this period?"
"Conservatively estimated that there should be more than 200,000 yuan. After deducting the military pay, the most part should be taken away from the Prime Minister's Mansion before. Most of them are used for elixir exercises. The daily expenses are saved as much as possible, and it has reached a harsh level."
Listening to the news, the multi-eyed monster fell into deep thought.
He had previously spent all his time and asked him to directly define this monkey as a civilian, so he took it lightly. What about now?
Although the method of providing elixir skills to his subordinates is not necessarily correct, at least it means that he is ambitious. Besides, isn’t he still fighting with himself for control of the new army openly and secretly?
Although most of the practices over this period are dirty tricks that cannot be put on the table, I have to admit that they are effective.
It seems that we have to reexamine this stone monkey...
