Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"How about the two counties of Anding and Beidi?" The coal mine Xianlian is currently the largest source of income for the Xiliang Army. Coal is a newly added resource. Relying on the sales channels accumulated by Xianlian Pavilion for many years, it is easy to occupy the market and win welcome from the upper echelons.

"My lord, the coal produced in the two counties is very popular in the city, and with the help of Xianlian Pavilion, it has begun to be exported to various places." Zhang Zhaobai said, to this day, Zhang Li is convinced of Jia Rong, Raising more than [-] refugees with the strength of one person and building houses for them, such a courageous means, who can have it among the princes of the Central Plains? There is no food and grass, but there is coal. I have to admire Jia Rong. The biggest problem for the Xiliang Army is accompanied by The advent of coal has been solved easily, what Zhang Li has to do is to calm the people, how to establish prestige among the people.

I have followed Jia Rong for a long time, so I naturally consider everything for the Xiliang Army.

Jia Rong nodded and said: "Not only that, the wine produced in Wuwei County must also be sold. There are many powerful families in the Central Plains. I don't know how much money they have in their hands. If they don't earn their money, who will earn it." Gathering money and developing strength are unprecedented. sense of urgency.

Zhang Li leaned over and said yes.

"Officials from all over the country should also pay close attention. Those with good performance will be promoted, and those with poor performance will be demoted. There is no room for accommodation."

"No, I will resign from my humble position." Zhang Li stood up and said goodbye.

Although Zhang Zhao is in charge of dispatching officials, the transfer of power has not been completed in a short period of time. There are still three auxiliary lands in the ten counties of Liangzhou, and there are so many officials. Even if Zhang Zhao does not sleep every day, it is difficult to control in a short period of time.

"Come here, bring me my cloak." Jia Rong drank the wine in his glass and shouted to the door.

Relying on advanced knowledge, Jia Rong’s means of raising money can be described as endless. Coal was abundant in ancient times, and there were even open-pit coal mines in some places. What Jia Rong wanted was to earn more money before the world’s merchants realized it. Otherwise, when the merchants of the aristocratic family get their hands on it, the profits will be very few. The reason why Xianlian has always existed aloofly is because of the formula.

What does the army rely on to fight?Money, what people rely on for survival, money.

Under the management of Pu Yuan, the Chang'an craftsman workshop has entered the right track. Tens of thousands of craftsmen perform their duties, and everything seems to be in order. Outside the craftsman workshop is a battalion of Wula's men and horses. When entering the craftsman workshop, they will be subject to strict interrogation. The same is true even when craftsmen go in and out. The family members of craftsmen are also gathered together and monitored.

"Master Pu, do you have any good weapons?" Jia Rong kindly patted the dust off Pu Yuan's shoulder.

Pu Yuan hurriedly bowed down.

Jia Rong helped Pu Yuan up and said with a smile, "Master Pu, you don't need to see outsiders."

"My lord, according to my lord's instruction, the craftsman's workshop has already produced the Liannu that my lord said, and I'm about to send it to the general's mansion, but I didn't expect my lord to arrive one step ahead." Pu Yuan said.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "Wait for me quickly."

A weapon slightly smaller than the bed crossbow appeared in front of Jia Rong.

Under Pu Yuan's signal, three craftsmen stepped forward, fiddled for a while, and stood aside with their hands tied.

Pu Yuan said: "My lord, the crossbow has been wound."

"Well, let me see how powerful it is?"

"Chi Chi Chi" a series of six crossbow arrows shot at the opposite wall, the house trembled slightly, and dust fell down.

Zhao Yun, who was following Jia Rong, was startled, and shot six amazingly powerful crossbows in a short period of time. If the Xiliang army were equipped with such weapons, I would like to ask the heroes of the world, who can outshine them.

In an instant, the shock in his eyes turned into blaze.

Jia Rong leaned close to the wall, watched it for a while, went to the side of the crossbow and tried it, nodded and said: "It's powerful enough, but it takes a long time to wind it up. Find a way to improve it, and then produce [-] pieces, and the stringing needs more time. The strength is also a little big, and we can make some improvements."

"Promise!" Blacksmith Pu Yuan and Liu bowed in unison, two people were in charge of all the big and small affairs of the craftsman's workshop.

"Master Pu, do you know about coal?" Jia Rong asked.

"But it is widely circulated in the city and used for heating?" Pu Yuan also used coal in his home.

Jia Rong said: "It is this thing, the burning temperature of coal is much higher than that of charcoal."

Pu Yuan, who is a master of forging weapons, woke up with a word, and said happily: "My lord's words are very kind, with the help of coal, the weapons forged in the craftsman's workshop can be improved."

"Well, let's produce the scimitars equipped by the cavalry first, all of which are made of high-quality steel, and the weapons and armor of the soldiers should also be mass-produced."

Seeing Pu Yuan's distressed face, Jia Rong said, "There is no need to worry about money."

"No!" The two bowed in unison.

After the advent of wine in the Central Plains, few people asked about it, mainly because the people of the Central Plains were used to wine with high alcohol content, and many nobles could not adapt to the alcohol alcohol content at all.

Jia Rong didn't force it either. When he developed the glass and matched it with wine, the bright color would definitely set off a fire.

Under the organization of officials, the roads in various places have been neatly repaired, and the canals have been built. Looking at the new scene near Chang'an in Liangzhou, Jia Rong seems to see the scene of a bumper harvest in the coming year. Even the officials who initially opposed Jia Rong's large-scale construction I couldn't help but be amazed to see the current situation in Liangzhou Sanfu.

Gathering up the refugees, the Xiliang Army's reputation among the people once again rose to a higher level, and the people all over the world praised the style of the Xiliang Army.

The princes of the Central Plains were once again amazed by Jia Rong's financial resources. When the people were in dire straits, he was able to build large-scale construction projects, build canals and pave roads. What a strength.

The New Year's bell rang again, and Emperor Han fled to Yanzhou, where Cao Cao was located, and changed his reign name to Xingping, which is the first year of Xingping this year.

After the Han emperor came to Yanzhou, he was full of fighting spirit, intending to control the power and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty. Situ and other officials returned from Chang'an empty-handed, but the heritage of each family was still there. On the contrary, Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Cao was left alone. In front of the big bosses in the court, Cao Cao was soft-spoken.

On the contrary, Emperor Han understood the importance of military power from the ups and downs, and expressed his favor to Cao Cao many times.

No matter how instigated by the officials in the court, Cao Cao always stood still. Overtly and secretly, he was often condemned by the officials, but the officials had no real power in their hands, so they could only enjoy their mouths.

Having nothing to do, Emperor Han actually missed Chang'an. In Chang'an, he would not have to worry about life, food and clothing, but it was not the case in Yanzhou. What he ate all day was not rice at all, and wild vegetables were mixed with noodles. Can the boiled soup be called rice? According to the minister, the people in the city are all disheveled, which is not as bustling as Chang'an.

All states and counties in the world were affected by disasters, including Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Cao Cao followed Jia Rong's example, recruited refugees, appeased the people, and cultivated fields. However, the food in the warehouse was unsustainable. Day, as for Emperor Han in the palace, the food is naturally not much better.

The wild vegetables outside the city were dug up by the hard-working army. Cao Cao did not have the means of exorbitant profits like Xianlian Pavilion. He appeared again and again in the army and among the people to condolence the people. I am very moved, and the people are also grateful.

The capital of the Han Dynasty was transferred from Chang'an to Youzhou, but looking around, people with pale faces coming and going on the streets and dilapidated houses on both sides gave people a ridiculous feeling.

The Xiliang Army has spent a difficult year in the eyes of outsiders without any effort.

"Brother Zizhong came from a long way, thank you for your hard work." Jia Rong ordered his servants to make a cup of good tea.

"General!" Mi Zhu respectfully and respectfully said.

"No need to be like this, you and I have known each other for many years, so there is no need to be polite." Being in a high position, Jia Rong should also pay attention to his words, and he can't call everyone a brother.

"Etiquette cannot be broken." Mi Zhu said with a straight face.

"Haha, Brother Zizhong is still like this." Jia Rong laughed loudly.

Mi Wei is now serving as the commander of the cavalry battalion in the Xiliang Army. He once served as the commander of Jia Rong's personal guard, and he is quite prestigious among the generals. prestige.

"Thank you, brother Zizhong, for your support in food and grass, so that more than a hundred thousand refugees will not starve to death. The merit is immeasurable." Jia Rong cupped his hands. Provide food and grass for the Xiliang Army.

"The general is serious!" Mi Zhu said modestly.

"I heard that the general recently sold something called coal in the Central Plains. It is very effective in warding off the cold. The villain also bought some, which is really extraordinary."

Jia Rong understood the meaning of Mi Zhu's words, "Since brother Zizhong is interested, I can't be stingy anymore, and the coal business in Xuzhou will be taken care of by brother Zizhong." There are many uses.

"Thank you so much, General!" Mi Zhu said excitedly, "Xianlian, Jiarong has never been handed over to any nicknamed businessman, and Su Shuang is in charge. Originally, Mi Zhu didn't have much expectations for the coal matter, but Thinking of buying some at a lower price and selling them back to Xuzhou, I never imagined that Jia Rong would be so generous.

"The villain also wants to represent the wine sold by the Xiliang army in the Central Plains in Xuzhou. What does the general want?"

Jia Rong smiled slightly. This Mi Zhu is also a wonderful person. Coal is a profitable business, but wine has a bleak future. Obviously, he wants to make up for Jia Rong.

"Well, this will trouble Brother Zizhong."

On that day, Jia Rong was in the mansion to clean up Mi Zhu, accompanied by some prominent figures in Chang'an, who gave Mi Zhu enough face.

The Wei family in Chang'an is Wei Fu's natal family, so naturally they can't lose money. Jia Rong secretly ordered Zhang Zhao to hand over part of the coal business to the Wei family. Wei Fu is his wife, and Wei Zhongdao is his senior brother. There is no doubt about his loyalty, and besides, the Wei family is a colossal existence in Dahan, with an astonishing background. If they can get the full support of the Wei family, the Xiliang Army will be able to reach another level, but since the Wei family came to Chang'an, they have been Very low-key, except for some family matters, Wei Guan rarely talked about cooperation with the Xiliang Army. Every time Jia Rong mentioned it, Wei Guan avoided it.

At the beginning of spring, the entire Liangzhou Chang'an Sanfu land was busy, and the people were full of joy to sow the seeds of hope on the reclaimed land.

Refugees never forget who helped them in times of need, food and clothing.
