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 place 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 would last them for a while.
And even if all that ran out, Jiang Ning was backing them financially, so there was no lack 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!
