Liu Ning was a man of his word. He said a few more words to Maria, and then had someone take him out. Although Liu Ning knew what Maria meant, he didn't want to get too involved at this time, and Maria didn't want to drag Liu Ning into it either.
If Maria really wanted to trick Liu Ning, she would never let him leave at this point. Liu Ning could sense this as well. Being a shield was fine, but creating a huge enemy for him was something he needed to think about carefully.
Liu Ning had his own reasons for leaving that night. Now that he had become a commander in the army and had his own guard, he naturally wanted to expand his guard after returning home.
When Liu Ning returned, Old Master Wang had granted him a guard team, but that team consisted entirely of Old Master Wang's men. Although Liu Ning trusted them, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable using them. Since Liu Ning wanted to cultivate his own people, he sent them all back. Now, he needed to rebuild a guard team.
Moreover, when Liu Ning returned, he mentioned recruiting soldiers from among the patrol members. Although many people did not believe that this idea could be realized, everyone still held onto a glimmer of hope. The army suffered heavy losses during the last attack on the city by the ferocious beasts, so they were in dire need of manpower. If Liu Ning could get this done, it would be a good thing for everyone, especially for the officers in the army, who were desperately short of soldiers.
Recruiting soldiers according to the normal system would take a long time, and various procedures would take a long time. Now that they have such a serious shortage of soldiers, following the normal procedures would definitely lead to insufficient city defense. Although the central base city has agreed to transfer troops from other places, everyone knows very well that no city has extra troops.
The central base city was just making empty promises to them, so everyone was watching Liu Ning's plan closely to see if his guard team could succeed in the reform.
Thinking about the things between the patrol members and regular soldiers, Liu Ning felt a headache coming on. Back in school, these two groups were on opposite sides. Those who did well in school could go to military academy and then enter the army. Those who didn't do well in school, like Liu Ning, were selected as patrol members before they were even adults. So, they were on opposing sides. Now, resolving the hatred between them would not be as simple as just a few words. It would require long-term planning. That's why Liu Ning was having a headache.
Others had considered Liu Ning's method, but they all ran into trouble with him. Now, when the matter is brought up again, many people are waiting to see Liu Ning make a fool of himself. However, Liu Ning won't give them the chance; he's determined to show them what he's capable of.
After returning to his private training room, Liu Ning began to look up some information. He learned that the monthly allowance for an ordinary soldier working under Old Master Wang was about 6,000 yuan.
Looking back at the patrol members in the gathering point, their income is only half of these. In addition, regarding the level of danger between the two sides, although the mortality rate of soldiers is also very high, such as when they are on missions outside the city, no matter how high their mortality rate is, compared with these patrol members, their chances of survival are still much better. Patrol members are the profession with the highest mortality rate in the world.
Regarding the issue of treatment, the patrol members receive about half the treatment of the rich, yet their mortality rate is much higher. No wonder the patrol members resent them; this reflects a common societal resentment towards the wealthy.
Liu Ning then reviewed another document, which detailed the cost of hiring a patrolman for Wei Xiong. The monthly fee was approximately 10,000 yuan, not including funeral expenses. If they were killed in action in the field, the cost would increase further. Therefore, Liu Ning planned to adopt a different strategy: recruiting soldiers from among the patrolmen with higher salaries.
Although the two sides are in a hostile state, if the treatment on his side can be improved, these people probably won't have any other thoughts. They will happily come here to participate in the recruitment. Liu Ning is very confident about this. These days, not many people can resist the attack of sugar-coated bullets.
Liu Ning looked at his initial target. Of the 1,600 guards, Liu Ning had to ask Old Master Wang for 300, and the rest would be recruited from the patrol team, and they would be paid more than ordinary soldiers.
Liu Ning acted immediately without even checking the time. He called Wei Xiong right away. Wei Xiong was already asleep when he heard that Liu Ning was recruiting 1,300 guards, and that he would give them official positions within the Zheng family, recruiting them from specific locations, and paying them 10,000 yuan a month. Wei Xiong's eyes lit up immediately. This would greatly improve the level of their gathering point.
Firstly, regarding money, according to the naval base's regulations, no matter how much money you earn, you must pay taxes. This tax collection point can also collect a portion. Even if it's only 5%, that's still 500 yen. These 1,300 people can collect 650,000 yen per month, and this income is sustainable.
Another aspect is the defensive capabilities of the gathering point. After these people are recruited, they will definitely receive formal training from Liu Ning. We won't cover the cost of this training, but they will live in our gathering point. They won't have time to move in the short term. These people living here are like soldiers. If someone comes to the gathering point to cause trouble, these people will definitely step forward. As long as the cohesion of the gathering point is high, these people will definitely not cower behind others. So this is a win-win situation.
Moreover, once these people have money, their spending habits will rise, and the gathering point will become like a small society. The money they bring back will also circulate a second time, making commercial activities within the community more and more frequent. At that time, everyone will be able to make money. This can be said to benefit the entire gathering point. Liu Ning has really done something big for us, something that will make everyone happy.
