When Ruan Bailang heard Ye Li's words, he quickly knelt on the ground, saluted and said, "I am completely at your mercy.
I am willing to lead all my subordinates to join your army."
Ye Li laughed when he heard this and said: "Well, as long as you are willing to cooperate, it will save me some effort.
Come on, after taking this elixir, you will be like them.
From now on, come and receive an elixir every month and swallow it until I recognize you, otherwise your flesh and blood will wither and die. " Hearing Ye Li's words, Ruan Bailang was stunned and said: "Yes, sir, I am willing to swallow the pill."
Ye Li was very happy for his subordinates who were so cooperative.
However, it can also be seen from this point that Ruan Bailang, as Zhang Hua said, is a person who is very greedy for life and afraid of death.
Such a person cannot be trusted too much.
Once a heavy responsibility is entrusted to him and he encounters danger, his first consideration will definitely not be whether the task can be completed, but whether he can survive.
With such a personality, he is destined to be unable to become a high-ranking person under Ye Li.
However, Ye Li himself didn't care too much about Ruan Bailang.
Ye Li reused these gangsters now only as a last resort.
When a large number of soldiers joined in the future, Ye Li would disperse all these gangs and then mix them with Tang soldiers.
Together.
In this way, these bandits will gradually integrate with the soldiers and will no longer be affected by the bandit leaders.
At that time, even if these bandit leaders choose to leave, it doesn't matter to him.
Anyway, after forming the legion, if he wants officers, Ye Li can directly ask Li Rushan to recruit some, and there will be no shortage of such manpower.
After Ruan Bailang surrendered to Ye Li, Ye Li asked Zhang Hua to urge him to start gathering his men.
After gathering all his men, Ruan Bailang led this group of people towards the manor.
Zhang Hua and Ding Si both stayed behind to follow Ruan Bailang.
Ye Li was not too reassured about this person.
Even if he had fed the other person the pill, he did not dare to let him go on the road alone.
Soon, when Ruan Bailang and a large number of his men arrived near the manor, it was already early the next morning.
Ye Li also arranged them to the newly built camp to rest temporarily.
Since then, the two major bandit gangs in Dongfang County have completely become Ye Li's private army.
However, what these private soldiers are currently doing is not fighting.
Instead, they are temporarily being used as coolies by Ye Li to build camps.
The camp that Ye Li wants to build is very huge.
After all, it will accommodate 10,000 people, so it requires a lot of facilities.
It not only requires a large number of barracks and military tents, but also sufficient training facilities.
Naturally, Ye Li couldn't pay for these things himself, nor could he pay for them with uncollected taxes.
After all, he was helping Li Rushan, and Li Rushan had to pay for these things.
After making arrangements with Qian San Ding Si, Ye Li left the manor and went alone to Gaoshan City, a city in another nearby county.
The reason why I come here is because Jinbaohao’s stores will only be built in cities and will not appear elsewhere.
Dongfang County has not yet built a city, so it is impossible for the Jinbao to station there for the time being.
If Ye Li wants money, he can only go to the city in the next county to find the Jinbao.
Along the way, Ye Li was also thinking about whether he should speed up the progress and start building the city, so that many businessmen and residents from the town could be gathered in the city, thus weakening the control of the three mayors over the entire Dongfang County. force.
After all, people living in the city will be protected by his troops and controlled by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
The influence of the three major town mayors on them will be minimized.
But if you think about it carefully, building a city is not a project that can be completed in two or three days.
Even if it is built with an army of all spiritual warriors, it will take at least a month.
Moreover, the number of private soldiers under his command is too small, so it is already very difficult to build military camps.
Building cities is obviously short of manpower.
In this regard, he still needs to make vigorous preparations so that he can get twice the result with half the effort.
Riding a fast horse, Ye Li quickly arrived at the nearby mountain city and found the Jinbao in the central area of the city.

After all, it is the third largest chamber of commerce.
Jinbao's status is still very high, and the battle sites are close to the center of the city.
After finding the shopkeeper of Jinbao's Gaoshan City branch, Ye Li revealed his identity and the other party immediately led him into a secret room.
"Du Li has met Mr.
Ye Guoshi.
I didn't expect you to be younger than I imagined."
The semicolon shopkeeper in Gaoshan City is named Du Li.
He looks like a bald man in his fifties.
Hearing what the other party said, Ye Li smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite.
Just call me Ye Li.
I'll also call you Du Li."
Du Li shook his head when he heard this and said: "No, sir, you can call me by my name directly, but I can't.
Please don't embarrass me, sir."
Ye Li was stunned for a moment.
He knew that there were various rules in the Jinbao.
Now that he thought about it, the rules that the other party must abide by may not be changed.
"Okay, I won't force you."
Ye Li shook his head and did not try to persuade him again.
Du Li smiled gratefully and said, "Sir, are you here today for His Majesty's business?
Do you need funds?"
After hearing what the other party said, Ye Li nodded, and then said doubtfully: "How come you know everything?
Has His Majesty already told you the plan here?"
Du Li shook his head and said: "No, we don't know the specific plan.
We only know that you want to build a private army here, and your Majesty is willing to give you some privileges and provide you with comprehensive financial assistance.
However, most of these funds were not taken from the treasury, but were spent from his share of the Jinbao.
Of course, this is normal.
The funds that His Majesty can use to assist you from the treasury are limited.
Once too much is used, ministers will criticize you.
Therefore, he can only use his own private funds to help you. " After hearing Du Li's words, Ye Li finally understood.
Jin Baohao did not know about the plan and did not participate in it.
They only contributed money to Ye Li on behalf of Li Rushan.
"So, how much financial assistance can I get from you?"
Du Li said: "As of now, there are half a million high-grade spiritual stones.
I don't know if they are enough for you to use."
If Ye Li hadn't seen too many big things now, just the words "five hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones" would make Ye Li bite his tongue.
Secretly swallowing, Ye Li said: "I guess it should be enough for the time being.
Well, I should say that I won't be able to use this much in a short time."
Du Li nodded and said: "Everything is up to you.
How much you need, as long as it is within this number, we can raise the spirit stones for you immediately
