Chapter 1758 Principled


    If Li Zhengshang stuck around until afternoon, he might get 2,000 men!


    It was true that money made the world go round.

    This was especially true in a ce where money was worth even more than their lives.


    But their current limits only allowed them to take in a total of 1,000 men. Jiang Ning said quality was


    more important than quantity. As long as they were well trained, that made them an excellent troop!


    In order to groom an excellent troop, one had to burn through a lot of money. Not spend money.


    Burn money.


    Li Zhengshang had used up almost all the money he had brought along from Las Vegas, but he had


    also received quite a number of resources from destroying Halen''s camp, so that wouldst them


    for a while.


    And even if all that ran out, Jiang Ning was backing them financially, so there was nock of money.


    Li Genhong led the men back to their camp and got everyone to gather.


    "Mr Jiang, we''ve recruited more than 800 men!" He was rather excited as he ran over to report to


    Jiang Ning. "Our soldiers add up to nearly 1,000 men now, so we won''t have to worry even if that


    lieutenant attacks us now!"


    "Just having more people on your side is useless," said Jiang Ning. "These men are here for the


    money, so it will work in the short run, but it won''t work out in the long run."


    "But didn''t you say that it was pointless to talk to them about loyalty?"


    Li Genhong became a little confused. Since these people didn''t care about loyalty, he had to use


    money to motivate them instead.


    "You don''t need to have loyalty, but you need to have principles. If you make sure that this group is


    principled and sticks to their principles, then you won''t have the problem of traitors."


    "That''s what you need to consider.


    Understand?"


    "Got it!" Li Genhong nodded and took these words to heart, but he had to think about how to


    actually get it done.


    Right now, he had to deal with the impending battle with the lieutenant. He would think about this


    after the battle was over!


    Li Genhong quickly ran out to get everything arranged and organized. Within two hours, he had


    established a new order among these men. He was actually really gifted in this aspect.


    After that, it was time to make them sign an agreement, delegate tasks, then distribute weapons


    and equipment.


    He decided to use the original batch of soldiers to teach the new soldiers. The older batch of


    soldiers were split into ten troops to take on 100 of the new soldiers each, and he made the older


    batch of soldiers the leaders of these troops.


    The older batch had gone through a real battle, so they exuded a murderous aura that was


    excellent at keeping everyone else in check.


    This hierarchy also gave the older batch of soldiers a sense of prestige and responsibility.


    "With a hierarchy in ce, it makes each one want to rise up the ranks. Everyone wants to be


    amander and earn more money. Li Genhong is really quite smart."


    This was amon practice in corporations, but it was very rarely seen among mercenary armies.


    Most other mercenary armies had just onemander right at the top with a few loyal subordinates


    to take orders from themander. But Li Genhong didn''t want to do it like this.


    That was because he had Jiang Ning


    backing him. With this powerful force backing him, he didn''t need to worry about these soldiers


    suddenly going out of control. Besides, what Jiang Ning promised was more than just money!


    He also promised them hope and dreams!


    All the menial work was done very quickly because everyone worked hard. Nobody wanted to lose


    any chance to earn money.


    All of them had reddened eyes as if they had all gone mad. They were like bloodthirsty wild animals


    that couldn''t wait for the enemy toe so that they could tear them apart!


    After all, each enemy killed was worth US$10,000!


    And there was no upper limit!


    Killing one was already a good deal, killing two was an amazing deal, and killing three soldiers


    would be enough to feed their families for an entire year.


    That was a lot of money!


    They could only survive if they had money. Without money, they didn''t even have the right to live!
