Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Even with savings, the soldiers and refugees in Beidi County need to consume [-] catties of grain and rice every day, and ten thousand shi of grain and rice is only enough for two months, plus the [-] shi that came from blackmail before, it is enough three months. [.

Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu who was beside him and said, "Brother Zizhong is working hard, so he should rest earlier. I still have some things to deal with. If you need anything, brother Zizhong, just ask."

Leading the soldiers to patrol around the city, seeing the smiles on the emaciated faces of the people, Jia Rong returned to his residence satisfied. After running around for days, he can finally relax. I fell asleep directly until the second riri on the third pole.

After simply eating breakfast, he walked around the city and returned to the prefect's mansion. Now Jia Rong's popular support in Beidi County is very high, and he can hear the enthusiastic cheers of the people wherever he goes.

"Brother Zizhong must be a good general if he goes to the battlefield." Jia Rong said to Mi Zhu who had just finished practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Mi Zhu's skill is indeed not bad, his footsteps are steady, and with a vigorous shake of his arms, the blossoming spears are stirred up. From his moves, it is not difficult to see that this set of marksmanship is good. It can be regarded as an upper-level marksmanship. , coupled with Mi Zhu's long-term training, he has perfected a set of marksmanship.

Hearing Jia Rong's praise, Mi Zhu felt a little complacent, and said with a smile: "I can't get into the elegant hall, I made Zhiyuan laugh."

After chatting a few words, Jia Rong brought the topic to the food issue in Beidi County, "Brother Zizhong shipped Wanshi grain this time, and it can only solve the food supply of Beidi County for two months. When will Brother Zizhong ship again?" Food and grass coming?"

A look of embarrassment flashed on Mi Zhu's face, "Zhiyuan doesn't know that the road is hard today, and nightclubs are raging in the Han territory. I brought a thousand private soldiers this time, but I still can't deter those desperadoes."

Jia Rong frowned, thinking of an idea, and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong, what's the difficulty, I can send the soldiers in the city to follow all the way, forgive those young people who dare not make trouble again."

Mi Zhu was overjoyed, "Is this really true?"

Jia Rong nodded affirmatively, and immediately said: "However, there are conditions for sending the soldiers from Beidi County to follow."

"Brother Zizhong is responsible for the daily expenses, board and lodging of these sergeants, and an additional employment fee will be paid to the prefect's mansion." Jia Rong continued.

Mi Zhu readily agreed, this time with a thousand soldiers accompanying him, it cost a lot of phone bills along the way, and how could the family soldiers compare with the tigers and wolves of Beidi County.

After some conversation, the two sides agreed on the price, and everyone was happy. Jia Rong easily solved the problem of feeding a thousand soldiers, and Mi Zhu promised to bring more food, rice, and stones.

A war horse is worth thousands of gold in the Central Plains, and a stone of grain and rice is worth the same amount of money. This time, Mi Zhu has made a lot of money. Jia Rong did not point out that he is currently short of grain and rice, and the nearby counties cannot borrow it. , and with Wanshi grain and rice, he will definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties, and there will be many places where Mi Zhu will be used in the future.

Jia Rong smiled and whispered in Mi Zhu's ear for a while when people were in good spirits, and Mi Zhu excitedly followed Jia Rong to the craftsman's workshop.

Seeing the two of them going away, Zhang Li shook his head for a while, Jia Rong doesn't look like a prefect, unless he has some momentum when fighting, he usually does things that don't matter. The things he did made him unable to refute.

Jia Rong led Mi Zhu through many barriers and entered the craftsman's workshop. Mi Zhu sighed: "The defense of the Beidi County craftsman's workshop is too tight." Jia Rong smiled sarcastically and did not answer.

Looking at the rows of stoves beside a huge pool, and hundreds of blacksmiths working hard together to forge iron, Mi Zhu was also shocked. Mi Zhu was very puzzled that it was worth spending so much money for a craftsman's workshop.

Blacksmith Liu heard the news of Jia Rong's arrival, so he hurried over. A few days ago, Beidi County had food shortages, but the food in the craftsman's workshop remained the same.

Jia Rong looked at the sweat-stained Blacksmith Liu and said, "Go and bring into the room what I asked you to forge a few days ago."

In the craftsman's workshop, Jia Rong's special room, Mi Zhu studied the object for nearly half an hour before returning to his seat. Mi Zhu was involved in a wide range of business fields, and after careful observation, he discovered the extraordinaryness of the object in front of him. .

"My lord's craftsman's workshop is full of talents. A small plow tool can be transformed so perfectly, it can be called the number one craftsman's workshop in the Han Dynasty." Mi Zhu exclaimed.

Mi Zhu and Jia Rong called him brother and brother in private, but he still called him Master Jia Rong publicly. Mi Zhu, who was so cunning and sophisticated, didn't want to be caught by Jia Rong.

Jia Rong will signal Blacksmith Liu to go down, and then start a discussion with Mi Zhu. Jia Rong doesn't want to bargain with a businessman in front of his subordinates, which will affect his wise and tall image.

After only discussing for a while, Mi Zhu jumped up, slapped the table and shouted, "No, no, this price is unacceptable."

Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu with a smile, as if he was convinced of him.

It was just a cup of tea, Mi Zhu lowered his head and said, "Okay, let Zhiyuan say it."

Jia Rong's condition was very simple. Mi Zhu was asked to build a grain and rice store in the city, and the price was set by the prefect's mansion.

Jia Rong clearly remembers the beginning of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan were sworn brothers, businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping funded Liu Bei with a thousand catties of iron, Guan Yu’s Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Zhang Fei’s Zhangba Snake Spear, and Liu Bei’s double-strand sword were all made of iron , thinking that iron and iron would not be a rare item, so I tried to ask for five thousand catties for fun.

Unexpectedly, Mi Zhu's reaction was very strong. The weapons of the big man can be made of iron, and they are all high-quality weapons. They are made of black iron, and the word "treasure" must be added in front of them. They are made of meteoric iron, that is The peerless weapon, the Qingzhi sword in Jia Rong's hand, is made of meteoric iron from outside the sky.

Tie is also fine iron, although it is far inferior to the Tie after the Tang Dynasty, it is the top grade of weapons made by the Han Dynasty. After all, black iron is hard to find, and meteorite iron is extremely rare.

Mi Zhu is also quite resistant to building grain and rice stores in the city and setting prices by the government. Business families like Xiang Mi Zhu have their own grain and rice stores in various places, but the prices are set by themselves. It is normal for merchants to unite to hoard grain and raise grain prices, which is the so-called fortune-telling of the country. Jia Rong's move undoubtedly violated the interests of merchants.

Secondly, Beidi County is located in a border county, and wars happen from time to time, so it is unwise to invest here.

Unable to bear Jia Rong's temptation, Mi Zhu finally agreed.

Jia Rong's "original" was also bought by these things. If Beidi County had enough financial resources, it would definitely not be sold at such a low price, and the first pot of gold from crossing was obtained.

The wisdom of the ancients cannot be ignored. In the era when there was no trademark registration, just imitating it was enough for Jia Rong, and selling it to Mi Zhu was a last resort.

Mi Zhu left Beidi County in a hurry on the second day with the drawings and samples of the plow tools.

The operation of the blacksmith workshop is very smooth. The crafting skills of these blacksmiths may not be the best among the big men, but no one is born as a master craftsman. Jia Rong's series of reward systems make these blacksmiths work hard every day in the blacksmith workshop. These blacksmiths learn to blacksmith in order to support their families. Now they can be promoted because of this on the basis of supporting their families. How can they not work hard.

Jia Rong often came to the blacksmith's workshop to chat with these blacksmiths. After a long time, these blacksmiths lost their restraint when facing Jia Rong. Jia Rong often asked some good blacksmiths to tell about their blacksmithing experience. Share it with others.

The ancients paid attention to their skills and did not pass them on to others, so there was some resistance at first, but Jia Rong’s reward system included such a clause: “Those who are good at making weapons and are willing to tell about their experience in blacksmithing will be rewarded with consistent money! The premise is that they do not repeat themselves with others. And it is considered useful by most people." Seeing other blacksmiths receive the usual money, the rest can't be jealous, so the good habit has been maintained.

Today, Jia Rong came to the blacksmith workshop as usual, looking at the shirtless blacksmiths who kept beating with hammers, Jia Rong nodded approvingly, as long as the blacksmith workshop continues to operate, some senior blacksmiths will emerge Even a master blacksmith will have no difficulty.

Liu Tiejian followed Jia Rong all the way to the hut dedicated to Jia Rong. Liu Tiejian was not as busy as when the workshop was just started. He usually followed these blacksmiths to forge and exchange experiences. He wandered around in the workshop, smiling all day long. full face.

Jia Rong signaled Blacksmith Liu to sit down on the lower seat, and very heavily handed a piece of rice paper to Blacksmith Liu.

Liu Tiejiang studied the pattern on Jia Rong's rice paper last time and figured it out. He couldn't help admiring Jia Rong's ingenious design, and he looked at Jia Rong with admiration from then on.

Tiejiang Liu carefully opened the rice paper. Jia Rong's painting skills are still very good. A three-dimensional object with a thick round upper part and a flat ring at the lower part is presented on the paper. After carefully looking at the skill of about a cup of tea, it is still the same as last time. Frowning.

Blacksmith Liu is only a blacksmith after all. If you are a man of insight in the army, you can see the extraordinaryness of this thing at a glance. To increase the strength of the army, you need not only hard training, but also sharp weapons Powerful auxiliary products, can an army of one million with thick wooden sticks beat an army of one hundred thousand with strong sticks?

What is drawn on the paper is the stirrup. Don’t underestimate such a small stirrup. If the ancient cavalry is a tank, then the saddle can be called the cannon on the tank. With it, the cavalry will become the infantry. A nightmare beyond.
