Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Each of the more than 80 people was given 50 kilograms of rice, for a total of more than 4,000 kilograms. Previously, 130,000 kilograms of rice had been seized, so more than 4,000 kilograms could still be taken out.

After finishing the dismissal, Fang Tianming directed the remaining people to line up. It took three minutes to line up neatly. He said, "Everyone, run in unison around the base."

After Fang Tianming gave the order, these people were still standing there, at a loss. It took a long time before the team started to run in a scattered manner.

After running three laps around the base, about two kilometers in length, Fang Tianming eliminated eleven of the forty-plus men, leaving thirty-two men.

"Gather." Fang Tianming was very dissatisfied when he saw the look of these people.

After the team assembled, Fang Tianming said, "You thirty-two people, divide into three squads to form a platoon."

"Liu Yong, and you, you, the three of you are squad leaders. What are your two names?"

Liu Yong was very happy to be appointed as the squad leader. The other two, one tall and one shorter, were also very happy.

"Reporting to the commander, my name is Wang Tieniu." The tall man said loudly.

After the tall man finished speaking, the short man immediately said, "Sir, my name is Li Yueshan."

Fang Tianming nodded and divided the thirty-two people into three classes. Liu Yong and Wang Tieniu's classes each had eleven people, and Li Yueshan's class had ten people.

After assigning the personnel, the newly formed platoon was handed over to Fang Weian for training, while Fang Tianming began to check the account books of the militia's records over the past two years.

At around 4 p.m., Fang Guoxuan arrived at Xinyuan County with the remaining people and more than 100 captives. With Fang Guoxuan's arrival, Fang Jianan breathed a sigh of relief.

When he entered Xinyuan County, he brought more than 60 people with him, and they also had to guard the city gates and defend the garrison, so they were seriously short of manpower. With the arrival of the remaining 100 people, the manpower was much more sufficient.

After dinner, Fang Jian, Wei Hanzhou, Fang Guoxuan, Fang Tianming, Fang Weian, Fang Weiguo, and Fang Weijia sat in the conference room for a meeting.

Fang Jian tapped the conference table and said calmly, "The captured bandits will be organized into an elite army and the first elite company will be established, with Fang Weijia as the company commander."

"This platoon of the militia will be named Security Company 1, with Fang Weian as the company commander."

At this point, Fang Jian looked at Fang Guoxuan and said, "Your company will be named the First Company of the Guard Battalion."

"The two platoon leaders who were transferred out need to be replaced as soon as possible. The guard company must always ensure sufficient combat effectiveness."

"No problem." Fang Guoxuan said.

After talking about the army, Fang Jian asked, "Tell me, where should Xinyuan County start?"

Although, including the captives of the bandits and the remaining militiamen, there are still 400 people. But ruling the county is not just about having soldiers.

It is necessary to manage the economy, people's livelihood, maintain public order, recruit and train the army. The latter is not so bad, but when it comes to maintaining public order, at present, there are still not enough people.

When it comes to the economy and people's livelihood, those present here are even less suitable.

Moreover, he had to consider how to hand over power to the county magistrate, how to ensure the stability of the county after the handover, how to make people in the county support him and not hold him back, not to be hypocritical, and allow him to develop with peace of mind.

Fang Guoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Commander, after all, what we lack most now is money."

"Without money, there is no way to recruit troops. Without more troops, we need these policemen and wealthy people to maintain law and order. To win over these officials and wealthy people, we need to give up some power and money."

"This creates a vicious cycle. The less money there is, the harder it is to recruit people and maintain rule."

Fang Jian nodded. As expected of a man with three stars in wisdom, he did have some insights.

For me, money is more important. Without money, I can't buy weapons through the system, exchange characters, etc. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as the beginning is solved well, the rest will be much easier.

After the meeting, Fang Jian was alone and counted the remaining finances, which included 8,000 silver dollars, 50 large yellow croakers, and 300 small yellow croakers.

One silver dollar can be exchanged for one point, and eight thousand silver dollars can be exchanged for 8000 points. One small yellow croaker can be exchanged for thirty silver dollars, and three hundred of them can be exchanged for 9000 points. One large yellow croaker can be exchanged for ten small yellow croakers, and fifty of them can be exchanged for points.

The total points that can be exchanged are a lot, but they can't be exchanged for much. Military uniforms must be exchanged, and 200 points can be exchanged for sets of military uniforms.

The remaining 4000 rifles are needed, which require 200 points. 10 pistols require points. Pistol bullets can be exchanged for points, which is rounds.

Rifle, submachine gun, general-purpose machine gun bullets, and light machine gun bullets can be exchanged for 100 points each, which means 50,000 rifle bullets, 20,000 submachine gun bullets, and 20,000 general-purpose machine gun bullets.

After all the calculations, the total points required is 4810.

Fang Jian said: "System, exchange the eight thousand silver dollars, three hundred small yellow croakers, and fifty large yellow croakers for points."

"The 100 swords, 40 old barrels, 20 bird guns, 10 box guns, and 10 Daxin 11-type rifles that were seized, and the bullets were all exchanged for points."

"There are also 14 Daxin 11-style rifles and 32 old barrels from the militia, all of which can be exchanged for points."

"Ding, silver dollars, small yellow croakers, and large yellow croakers can be exchanged for points in total. All weapons can be exchanged at a 2350% discount, and a total of points can be exchanged."

When he heard that old weapons could be exchanged for points at a 50% discount, Fang Jian felt that he seemed to have found a way to earn points.

"Ding, points are being exchanged. The silver dollar recovery team will arrive in one day. Do you want to trade?"

Fang Jian said, "If you agree to the deal, I need to exchange it for 1,000 sets of military uniforms, 500 rifles, 100 pistols, and 10,000 pistol bullets."

"50,000 rifle bullets, 20,000 submachine gun bullets, 20,000 general-purpose machine gun bullets, 20,000 light machine gun bullets, and 1,000 grenades."

"Ding, 4910 points are required to exchange for supplies. Do you want to exchange?"

The price of an iron shell grenade is one silver dollar, and the exchange price is 0.1 points each. One thousand grenades require 100 points.

"Exchange." Fang Jian agreed to the exchange without hesitation.

The rifles and grenades were exchanged for the Elite Army and the Security Army. Fang Jian did not have much trust in these two troops, so they could not be equipped with machine guns and submachine guns.

On the second day, Fang Weian and Fang Weijia started training with their troops early in the morning. In addition to the soldiers guarding the city gates and the garrison, the guard company also participated in the training.

Although the exchanged soldiers are considered elite, they will degenerate if they are not trained for a long time. Of course, it is difficult for the clone soldiers to increase their abilities significantly after continuous training.

At noon, a group of people who looked like foreigners drove several trucks to Xinyuan County.

After asking, I found out that they were here to deliver equipment, and they were all cyborgs arranged by the system. In this era, it is safer to arrange them to look like foreigners.

"Hello, my name is Li Defu, nice to meet you." A bearded leader extended his right hand to Fang Jian.

Francis also enthusiastically extended his right hand and shook hands with him: "Hello, my name is Francis, and I am glad to meet you too."
