Xiliang Iron Cavalry

In a blink of an eye, it has been the third year of Zhongping, which is [-] AD. It has been more than nine months since I was appointed to Pingxiang to resist Han Sui's rebels in March. After more than six months, Jincheng County The operation is already a big county, and now Xianlian Pavilion is spread all over the counties of Dahan, and even some important counties have been relocated to Xianlian Pavilion. The intelligence personnel have been trained and distributed in various places, and there are Jia Rong's intelligence systems in the thirteen prefectures. As long as there is a little trouble, the news will soon reach Jia Rong's hands. <.. ..>

During this period of time, Jia Xu's connection with him became closer and closer. Through Jia Xu's mouth, he learned a lot about Dong Zhuo's army's latest movements. Dong Zhuo didn't send any more troops to detain Huaxiong Guo Si and [-] soldiers. It is said that Dong Zhuo is very angry about this matter. This is a blatant poaching of the old boss's corner, but now Jia Rong's strength is no longer the master who can be manipulated by others. In order to continue to fight with Jia Rong Maintaining a close relationship, Dong Zhuo can only turn a blind eye to this matter. Hua Xiong Guo Si has never been under Quan Dang's command, and Dong Zhuo still hopes that Hua Xiong Guo Si can come back.

Gradually, Jia Rong has faded away from the cusp of the storm. He is not the Jia Zhiyuan who made Luoyang a city full of storms. The relationship with Emperor Han is getting closer and closer. The main reason is that Su Shuang, the middleman, has been working hard. The emperor has earned about 30 yuan through Xianlian Pavilion. Emperor Han smiled when he thought of Su Shuang. Zhang Rang also kept saying good things for Jia Rong during the period. The rebellious prefect of Beidi County transformed into a loyal minister and general of the Han Dynasty.

Jincheng County is developing, but Jia Rong is getting more and more busy. It is a big problem to sort out information from various places. In the letter with Jia Xu, Jia Rong indirectly expressed his hope that Jia Xu can return to Jincheng. Jia Xu did not object to this idea. The Xiliang Army is no longer comparable to the past, and Jia Xu's staying in Dong Zhuo's Army will not play much role. In fact, Jia Xu also had the idea of ​​​​testing Jia Rong at the beginning. If Jia Rong accidentally died on the battlefield, then Jia Xu would be free. Jia Xu in history was not the kind of person who was consistent.

Now that Jia Rong's strength can be on the stage, and he has his own influence, Jia Xu can only play a greater role when he returns to Jincheng.

With the efforts of Jia Rong and Zhang Li, Zhang Zhao stayed in Jincheng County. The two brothers took care of the internal affairs of Jincheng County together. There is a saying in the family that puts eggs in different baskets, but the current situation of the Zhang family is not very good. Well, otherwise, Tao Qian would not have moved away because of Tao Qian. Zhang Zhao is worthy of the title of a talent in internal affairs. He may be slightly deficient in the overall situation of military strategy, but he can manage internal affairs with ease. Anyway, there are many problems that Jia Rong seems to be difficult to deal with. It can be easily solved in Zhang Zhao's hands, and Jincheng County is showing a trend of prosperity under Zhang Zhao's handling.

Zhang Zhao added some measures to Jia Rong's handling of the relationship with the Qiang people. In times of war, the Qiang people must support enough troops and war horses. When Jia Rongxiang mentioned these things, the chiefs of the Qiang people's tribes didn't even think about it. I agreed when I thought about it, and now Jia Rong's prestige among the Qiang people is unmatched.

Jia Rong gave them the life that generations of Qiang people dreamed of, so that every family can have a house to live in and land to cultivate. More importantly, they are completely equal to the Han people, even the Huns living in the Han territory. The treatment, as well as various opportunities to make money in Jincheng County, allow Qiang people to have a surplus, and they no longer have to worry about poor clothing and food.

Drinking water and thinking about the source, they also understand that Jia Rong brought them all this. They can't guarantee that Jia Rong's future prefects will still be like this, but they have sufficient confidence in Jia Rong. Reached the point of absolute compliance.

Jia Rong can feel that Jincheng County has grown up now, and no one will be allowed to ignore it. The people in the city have become a lot richer. Under the condition of not starving, they can still have a lot of money. Jincheng County There are more businessmen, not only consume more, but also need a lot of buddies, which solves a big problem for Jincheng County. The people from Beidi County can basically find a good job without the support of the prefect's mansion. He was able to survive this winter, and he saved Jincheng County a lot of expenses invisibly. From the faces of the people in the city, Jia Rong could feel something called happiness.

The city wall of Jincheng has been reinforced, the height of the city wall has been raised to five feet, and the thickness of the city wall is more than one foot. A rough estimate of the food and grass in the city is enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to use for more than a year. Such a fortified city, as long as it sticks to it, even a hundred thousand The army can only do nothing, not to mention that the Xiliang army's elite is not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Jia Rong also learned of Han Sui's army's movements through his own means. In fact, Jia Rong also knew that the aristocratic families in the city had close ties with Han Sui, but Jincheng County was in a period of development, and moving these aristocratic families and local tyrants would only have the opposite effect. As a result, now that Jincheng County has grown up, the people are completely relieved. If the people still have no confidence in Jia Rong for such a long time, it can only be said that Jia Rong has been around for so long, and the local tyrants of the aristocratic family will not be able to play for a few days.

However, the influence of local tyrants from aristocratic families is still great. They occupy a lot of fertile land in Jincheng, and each household has many tenants and servants. The most important thing is to deal with the problems of the people first.

It is worth mentioning that although the paper mills in Jincheng County did not introduce advanced technology, the paper production volume is getting higher and higher, especially the technology of movable type printing is becoming more and more proficient, and more and more books are printed. After that, poetry, books, etiquette, including the Analects of Confucius, have been popularized among the officials and generals of Jincheng County. Jia Rong spread many things about Jincheng County's books through his own channels. Many students rushed to Jincheng County not far away, just to get Knowledge, no matter how eloquent the aristocratic family is, what Jia Rong gives to the world is knowledge. This is the courage that the aristocratic family does not have. Considered, there are only a handful of historical figures who can be compared with such a mind.

For these students who came from afar, Jia Rong gave the greatest care. The books only charge the cost, and the board and lodging expenses in the city are greatly discounted. Jia Rong does not want to make any money from the books. It’s just a good relationship with these students. These people will be the talent pool of Jincheng County in the future. In any case, providing help such as books is no less than a kindness in this era. After many students were recruited by the prefect’s office, they immediately He agreed, which greatly enriched the talents of the Xiliang Army.

Jia Rong's movable type printing has reduced the influence of the family in the folk a lot. The common people value the knowledge of the family. They don't want to be fools in the eyes of the world. It is equivalent to giving hope to many people.

With books, it is much easier to set up a school. What Jia Rong needs is not those Confucian scholars who are full of words and talk at length, but talents who can truly govern the people. Students' textbooks also need to be carefully selected.

Many of the teachers in the school are scholars who were left behind to study in various places. Jia Rong provides them with books, and they are responsible for teaching talents. These students are basically aspiring young people from poor families. How difficult it is to study, after listening to Jia Rong's general plan, I agreed, and at the same time felt deep admiration for Jia Rong's actions.

Jia Rong won the hearts of countless scholars by doing this, but he also completely offended the aristocratic family. Emperor Han never broke bad words about Jia Rong, but Emperor Han was immersed in the interest of making money, and he didn't want to touch it. Jia Rong, the hen that lays golden eggs.

Jia Rong can't count how much money he owns. Telling these figures will probably cause panic in the world. Jia Rong also understands that this money is nothing in the eyes of those real big families, and there are so many big businessmen in the big man.

The selection of soldiers has begun. The selection rules are completely in accordance with the previous system of the Xiliang Army. However, any soldiers who are not up to standard in martial arts and horsemanship and do not know how to cooperate are directly brushed off. Their loyalty may be very high, but the Xiliang Army does not want What is needed is not only loyalty, but also elite soldiers and warriors who can fight well.

In the end, 7000 soldiers were left after 5000 soldiers were carefully selected. This result surprised Jia Rong. He had inspected the quality of these soldiers before, and it was considered good to have [-] soldiers left. I didn't expect the soldiers' ability to improve so quickly after half a month. It seems that people's potential is indeed infinite. As long as you are good at developing, you can get unexpected results. Under strong pressure, Zhang Fei can also become a Excellent embroiderer.

For the [-] soldiers who left sadly, no one in Jia Rong let them go after distributing the military expenses. Once again their fighting spirit was high, Jia Rong told them to study hard after returning home, and try to pass as soon as possible, and they will be given a chance when the Xiliang Army recruits.

Most of the soldiers in the Han Dynasty do not have military pay. Except for the standing soldiers in Bianjun, the soldiers in the territory gather during wartime and go back to their homes in normal times. There is no military pay. Jia Rong’s treatment for Xiliang Army is equal to that of Bianjun’s standing army. Three times; and the Xiliang army's food is nothing to say, there must be meat every day, this is an order issued since Jia Rong became rich, no one can suffer the soldiers.

The Xiliang Army has become a place that young people who want to be soldiers yearn for. The food and treatment are enough to attract anyone's attention. What's more, the commander of the Xiliang Army is Jia Rong.
