From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

As you step into Hengshui City, the atmosphere is a little different than when you leave the city. First of all, the government has selected a group of gold collectors, or in layman's terms, coolies who collect excrement from door to door. When defending the city, the boiling gold juice can become a weapon. In addition, feces can be used as a deadly toxin to smear on arrows, and the cost is extremely low.

All major grain shops began to be brought under control, the Industrial Supervisor was responsible for building pools around several granaries, and all the craftsmen were gathered together. The old people in the city who had experienced the last war all sensed that a storm was coming.

Jiang Yuan came straight to Tan Ying Xuan carrying a book box, accompanied by Ning Shijian. According to the information obtained from old man Zhao Gou Pei, the third prince is behind this official family. The eldest and fourth princes are born to the current queen. He is very skilled and manages the harem in an orderly manner. Moreover, he comes from a wealthy family and is known as a "virtuous minister" in the court. He is very affectionate with the emperor, so there are almost no surprises in the selection of the crown prince, who will only be born from the two legitimate princes.

In Tan Yingxuan, hearing the news of someone's arrival, Liu Sancai walked out from the backyard shaking a fan. After investigation, it was found that Jiang's son was only sixteen years old, but after the other party left the city and returned, Brother Jiang was still Brother Jiang, and Brother Liu was still Brother Liu.

"Brother Jiang, how are you?"

"I have four hundred taels of silver, half for buying servants and half for buying food." Jiang Yuan went straight to the point. The strong soldiers who could ride war horses received a lot of military pay, which was usually distributed after the summer and autumn taxes were collected for the previous year. This time, one hundred cavalrymen were killed and their clothes were even stripped away. A total of more than five hundred taels were found, half of which were copper coins. As the chief officer, he took 70% of it.

"Brother Jiang, ordinary servants cost six taels each, don't think about the quality. You probably want young and strong people in good health, which cost fifteen taels each. As for food, the government doesn't allow it to be sold now, but I can give you six thousand shi, which is enough for three thousand soldiers to eat for a month. I believe the rations given by the Fenwu Army are no more than this." Liu Sancai said. He obviously knew the news that someone had become a powerful captain.

"Twenty-five strong servants and fifty oxtail knives. Since it's a business, just state the terms directly." Jiang Yuan replied. The two thousand county soldiers were supported by Lanshui County, and his two hundred headquarters, the Fenwu Army, were given a thousand stones of grain. Beyond that, any troops exceeding the establishment would have to be borne by himself.

"The food is just a deposit. Brother Jiang, as the lieutenant of Lanshui County this time, is destined to face the army of Beimang. For them, the central line is no more cruel than Beiliang and the two Liao dynasties. Many children of wealthy families came in the last war. I will be grateful if you can get a prisoner with the surname Yelu or Murong. Both are the royal surnames of Beimang. One is enough for me to make a further step. If the business is successful, combined with the previous operations, I can become the manager of Jizhou. As a reward, Brother Jiang's people can secretly take over Hengshui City." Liu Sancai shook the fan, and on it were still the four big words "Mountains of Gold and Silver".

"I'll try my best." Jiang Yuan didn't promise.

The two sides had lunch at Tan Yingxuan. Ning Shijian was allowed to sit down. When leaving, Jiang Yuan handed over the indentures of twenty people to the other party and began to create the prototype of his personal soldiers.

When Ning Shijian returned to the Pei family compound in the afternoon, he saw his daughter climbing up to the treetop and immediately ran over in panic. The possibility of Hengshui City falling was not high, at least it was smaller than Lanshui County. Moreover, if it fell, the leader Zhao Gou could protect his wife and daughter.

Jiang Yuan placed the Dendrobium wine on the stone table.

Old man Pei turned his head and snorted coldly. It was understandable to go to the Fenwu Army headquarters first after entering the city, but it was a bit too much to pass the gate without entering and go straight to Tan Yingxuan. Even if they were not master and disciple, there should always be a first-come-first-served relationship in their friendship.

"It's not good to come empty-handed. We are just a group of cavalrymen, and there is nothing worth seeing." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"That's a cavalry of a hundred men. It's more than enough to surround and kill a second-rank junior master on the plain. You have to cherish your talent. It's a blessing given by God. After all, you have to hold on to it to get enough water. Why work so hard? You can just shoot a few arrows from a distance and get that head. When defending the city, keep your eyes sharp and aim at a few high-ranking officials. After three to five years, we can become a lieutenant smoothly. I will help you go to the capital and get a general of miscellaneous rank. After a few years of settling down, you can be sent to Jiangnan. I have a few old friends there. After suppressing bandits a few times, this resume will be impressive. Then go back to the Ministry of War and be a secretary. By then, the reign title may not have been changed. I guarantee that you will become one of the two assistant ministers of the Ministry of War before you are thirty-five years old."

Old man Pei was a little depressed. In fact, he could arrange everything well. The affection he had accumulated with Mr. Yuan had never been used, and he had no children. What was the point of taking it to the grave?

"But you probably won't listen." "That would be too boring." Jiang Yuan sat down and opened the wine cap.

"Why don't you ask me for a few martial arts school disciples? Apart from those who have gone out to pursue their own careers, there are still more than sixty people in the academy, one of whom is at the fourth level. This generation's chief disciples have four at the fifth level, which is considered the appearance. I won't talk about the others. Only one of them can enter the first level, and he went to Beimang to become a demon. Anyway, I don't have the ability to teach disciples, let alone the ability to take in disciples."

Old man Pei pretended to be pitiful, he was actually the ancestor of the martial arts world in Jizhou, any well-known sect in the territory had his followers, he was at the Profound Realm, his combat power was enough to be beaten by people crossing the border, but as for the matter of fortune-telling, he had only made a mistake once in all these years, and that was about someone who was born with an unlucky life, and until now he looked like he could die at any time, but he was getting better and better.

"Except for the eldest disciple and the disciples, I will take away 20 who are willing to join the army." Jiang Yuan said, "In Hengshui County, who do you want to kill? Those below the first rank, and those above the first rank run too fast for me to catch up."

Old man Pei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it seemed that the other party meant to kill indiscriminately.

"Below the first rank?"

"Han Yushu was also killed with one knife."

"That Jianghu brat, a woman's belly could kill him."

After Old Man Pei finished speaking, he fell into deep thought and said after a while:
"There is indeed someone who is most suitable for you to go with, but you don't have to go alone. There is a group of more than a thousand bandits in Guanzhu Mountain to the left of Shuangmen Pass. The third in command, Han Fang, is the legitimate son of the Han family's main line. Just capture him. I will be of great use to him.

The boss is a well-known swordsman within a hundred miles, a second-rank junior master, but he is a cripple. Your exaggerated archery skills can naturally restrain this guy. Go to Lanshui County, where there are slightly more county soldiers, about two thousand people, with varying qualities, but at least you can make do with them.

The original county lieutenant was transferred to the Fenwu Army two months ago to command 5,000 county soldiers. The acting Wu Sanguan Zhongmen Ji Lang is the third place among my apprentices. He is forty-two years old and at the peak of the third rank. This beast is particularly lazy and has no interest in power. After all, I pushed him to the position of governor before, but he took the initiative to retire. However, he cares about his hometown Lanshui County very much. Within the scope of Hengshui County, he can assist you. Outside this scope, I am too lazy to use him. The two of you cooperate and lead the county soldiers to wipe out that wave of bandits. When the time comes, there will be a fire on the mountain, and you just need to hide in the army formation."

Finally, Old Man Pei hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Great Sun Fist can turn people into ashes, right? No one has ever come up with this kind of fist before, so no one knows. I will report this to that person."

Jiang Yuan rubbed his forehead twice, feeling that this old man was a bit nagging. Perhaps all older people were like this.

"Ah."
