Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Wen Yue." Jia Rong whispered, "I've come to see you."

Several exquisite dishes and two bottles of bright wine were quickly put in prison by the lone wolf soldiers.

Jia Rong frowned slightly in the humid and dark environment.

"General." Han Sui didn't get up, but just greeted him lightly.

"Wen Yue, you should already know what happened in the city. Cheng Gongying and Cheng Mu father and son collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. They collaborated with the men in black to assassinate officials and sell craftsmen's weapons." Jia Rong said slowly.

"I understand what the general means. I am sorry to die, but I just hope that the general can treat my family well." Han Sui's voice was flat, and he did not show any panic or other emotions because he was about to be executed.

Jia Rong said: "Don't worry about Wenyue, the family will never be hurt."

"I think that when we first fought against the general, we should attack Pingxiang with all our strength and not give the general any chance," Han Sui said suddenly.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "Wen Yue, remembering the war back then, you were also careless."

After the two chatted for a long time, Jia Rong left the prison.

The death of Han Sui still touched Jia Rong a lot. In this era, you either become a powerful person that everyone in the world fears, or you perish in battle and become an unobtrusive wave in the long river of history.

After Han Suicheng Gongying was executed, almost all the guards around Jia Rong were replaced, and the soldiers guarding the craftsman's workshop were also adjusted, and the management of the craftsman's workshop became stricter.

These time delays have caused panic in the city, and the normal operation of the craftsmen's workshops has also been affected to a certain extent. Jia Rong has strengthened his control over the craftsmen, and the control of weapons has become stricter. The weapons and armor of ordinary soldiers are all It is registered, and if any situation arises, it is the generals of the various ministries who are looking for it.

For Li Ying and Li Yu to join the assassination, Wang Yue did not show any resistance. He knew that the assassination could not be entirely up to him, Wang Yue, and Jia Rong had also placed personnel in the assassination many times. Since he chose to work for the Xiliang Army, He could only compromise, and he also knew that Jia Rong could not allow an independent existence in the army.

Wandering in the officialdom for some time, Wang Yue turned a blind eye to these situations and passed them by.

Half a month after the incident of the man in black, the General’s Mansion announced the establishment of the first bank in Dahan, named Xiliang Bank. For the price, the Xiliang army will pay everything for guarding the bank.

Needless to say, the reputation of the General's Mansion, after understanding some of the bank's regulations, many merchants exchanged some money coupons one after another.

The denominations on the money coupons issued by the bank range from one dime to one hundred, following the system of coins in later generations, and one dime is equivalent to one yuan at this time.

What is engraved on the banknote is a cavalry soldier of the Xiliang Army holding a machete. He is majestic and lifelike. Take Xianlian as an example, there have been many imitations, but there is no real secret recipe. These Xianlians can be seen as fake at a glance, but the common people who are greedy for cheap will not care so much. The real nobles still use authentic ones all the time. For Xianlian, this is one of the reasons why Xianlian Pavilion has a long history in Dahan.

The issuance of the bank caused a storm in Dahan. To a certain extent, it is much more convenient to replace money with banknotes, but all the money has become controlled by the Xiliang Army. Once there is a change in Chang'an, the banknotes in the hands of merchants will still be is that useful?These banknotes were exchanged for real gold.

For the time being, the bank is only open under the rule of the Xiliang Army. That is to say, the banknotes in the hands of merchants are just a piece of waste paper and useless when they are ruled by other princes. However, this kind of banknotes can also be used among merchants of princes. Circulation, the reputation of the Xiliang Army is there, there is no need to break the trust of a businessman for a few money.

The Mi family's family responded very well, and exchanged almost half of their property into banknotes. In this era, businessmen also want to make it easier for them to do business. For large-scale business, the items and money they carry when going out are a burden, but using banknotes is unnecessary. Only dozens of sandalwood boxes are needed to buy a team of things, but the prerequisite is that these banknotes can be truly implemented in various parts of Dahan.

There are still certain restrictions on the implementation of banknotes. First of all, the merchants do not have complete trust. The Mi family and the Wei family who joined the bank have a close relationship with the Xiliang army. After effects.

It has to be said that the implementation of banknotes has made it much more convenient for merchants in Chang'an City. They don't have to carry heavy money when they go out. They only need a piece of light banknotes to buy things, and merchants and hawkers have to accept them. For merchants who don't accept banknotes Well, the Xiliang army has a clear rule that once found, they should be driven away or arrested immediately. [

The common people are simple, and it is safe to hold money in their hands and keep it at home. A banknote can replace so much money, which makes them feel very uneasy. Money is still used in the streets, not banknotes.

For these, Jia Rong did not make mandatory requirements. It needs a subtle process, and it is impossible to reach the sky in one step. When the people really discover the convenience of paper money, they will definitely use it.

It is easy for merchants to trade, but it does not mean that other princes will cooperate. After seeing the threat of Xiliang army establishing a bank, they also listed countermeasures, encouraging merchants to use money in the city, and checking the banknotes issued by the general's mansion. Suppress.

In the eyes of Jia Xu and others, the cross-age move of banknotes is not so incomprehensible in Jia Rong's hands. There have been so many whimsical ideas, and banknotes are just one of them. Looking at Xianlian Pavilion It's still the moonlight cup, which one is not a masterpiece, but these advisers certainly don't know how to suppress the princes through the bank. Once the princes find out that the bank is so beneficial, they will definitely establish their own bank. The coming of war.

After dealing with the general affairs of the bank, Jia Rong determined that the standing soldiers of the Xiliang Army would be 15, and would not increase the number of troops. The Liang army started conscription.

The scale has grown unprecedentedly, and many teams, led by generals of various ministries, marched in the territory under the rule of the Xiliang Army, encouraging the people to join the army, and then going through strict selection, and those who did not meet the requirements were not hired.

Becoming a soldier of the Xiliang Army is the dream of many men, and the reactions from all over the country are very strong.

The defeat of Yanrou in Youzhou, the surrender of Liu He, and the rapid pace of the Xiliang army made Yuan Shao feel unprecedented panic. He kept recruiting troops to guard against the sneak attack of the Xiliang army. There are 4 soldiers stationed, while the Xiliang Army's standing force in Bingzhou, Youzhou, is only [-].

Not only was Yuan Shao panicked, Cao Cao was also startled by the speed at which such an ally expanded.

Jia Rong seemed to be focused on developing his strength. After occupying Youzhou, he did not show any intention of advancing. However, the battle in Qingzhou once again focused the attention of the world on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Cao Jun attacked Le'an State with a surprise army and defeated Yuan Jun, intending to drive Yuan Jun out of Qingzhou completely.

On the one hand, Yuan Jun had to resist the pressure from the Xiliang Army at any time, and also sent a large army to Qingzhou to resist Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was in a state of desperation for a while, and Yuan Jun had quite a number of troops, numbering 20. However, except for the troops defending Xiliang Army, there were only more than [-] real soldiers who could fight, and Cao Jun was powerful. The Central Plains is almost an enemy, which is comparable to the strength of the Xiliang Army. However, facing such an enemy, Yuan Shao has no fear at all. Speaking of Jia Rong, he may not have the will to fight, but he fought against Cao Cao , Yuan Shao has a strong confidence to win.

As a playmate since he was a child, Yuan Shao knew something about Cao Cao. After the war broke out in Le'an, Yuan Shao strengthened the defense of Qingzhou on the one hand, and the defense of Jizhou was also strengthened to guard against Cao Cao's surprise attack.

The two parties had a great time fighting in Qingzhou, and the envoys from Jizhou also arrived in Chang'an.

Seeing the hustle and bustle of Chang'an, and the common people and merchants rubbing shoulders, Xu You couldn't help sighing: "Chang'an is really prosperous and prosperous!"

The main streets of Chang'an can accommodate eight horses riding side by side, but the roads walked by merchants and officials are different. Ordinary people are not allowed to walk on official roads casually.

The appearance of Xu You's luxurious carriage on the official road immediately attracted the attention of the common people and businessmen nearby. In Chang'an, being able to use such a carriage must have an unusual status. There are more than [-] soldiers guarding the carriage. , unless the important officials of Chang'an are traveling. Seeing the people on both sides pointing and pointing, Xu You is very useful.

The good times didn't last long, and a cavalry team appeared in front of Xu You's carriage. There were about 50 soldiers in it.

Xu You in the carriage said with a smile: "I didn't expect the general to send someone to greet him."

The general at the side said: "Your Excellency has a prominent position under General Yuan, even if Jia Rong came to greet him in person, it would not be an exaggeration!"

Xu You was very pleased with the general's flattery, and said with a smile: "After returning to Jizhou, my lord will give you a lot of good words in front of the general."

"Thank you, sir!" The general was overjoyed.

"Stop whoever comes!" Mi Wei shouted majesticly.

The convoy did not receive the order and continued on its way.

After Mi Wei was stunned for a while, he gave an order, and the cavalry set up their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at Xu You's convoy.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the surrounding merchants and common people hurriedly retreated to the side.

After listening to the report from the soldiers, Xu You felt something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"

"My lord, those cavalrymen stopped the carriage!" the general said.

Xu You's face changed slightly, and he said without hesitation: "Stop!"
