Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 200
The sky is high and the air is crisp, and it has entered September.

Qin Guan got up in the morning and practiced swordsmanship. After breakfast, he was ready to go to the barracks to have a look. The newly recruited Xiang army had already settled down and trained for a month. Xiong Da said that he had some appearance, please Qin Guan to have a look .

It looks like a month, Qin Guan is a little puzzled, even in modern times, recruits have enlisted in the army for a month, and they haven't even trained in the formation yet.

But the Keluoi people stopped him.

"Master, this concubine wants to report to the master about the situation of receiving the property of the county prince's mansion." Luo Yi said humanely.

"Hey, why didn't you say it last night?"

"Last night, the master didn't have a chance to let my concubine talk. I wanted to talk about it later, but in the end I was so tired that I fell asleep directly." Luo Yiren said angrily.

Qin Guan chuckled.

When the two came to the study, the Luoyi people took out an account book, put it in front of Qin Guan, and explained it to him while reading it.

"Master, up to now, I have controlled [-]% of the property on the contract." Luo Yi said humanely.

Qin Guan was amazed by Luo Yiren's performance, he looked at him with admiration, and said in surprise: "Oh, my Yiren is so good, and I can master [-]% in less than a month. Tell me, how do you do it?" Arrived."

After the Luoyi people got the contract, they thought hard and finally formulated a strategy, which is to control these big shopkeepers as much as possible. Without the control of these people who are familiar with the industry, these businesses may plummet. This is not what she wants.

As for how to do it, it is to use force to overwhelm people and divide them.

The Luoyi people found someone to collect the characters and families of the eight shopkeepers, as well as their loyalty to the county palace, and first attacked those who were easy to break through.

The Luoyi people first found Xia Bonian among the eight shopkeepers. Xia Bonian is 54 years old this year. He is in charge of the fields, forests and grain sales of the county palace. He is shrewd and cautious in doing business. After Bonian asked Commander Tao for instructions, he lowered the price of grain in Xiongzhou as quickly as possible.

The Luoyi people directly took out the contract and placed it in front of Xia Bonian. Xia Bonian was very surprised at first. At this time, Xiong Er appeared as the commander of Ping and told him that the county palace had given these properties to the prefect of Qin, and asked him Are you willing to continue to take care of these industries.

Xia Bonian knew that he would either switch to the prefect of Qin, or choose to go home to have his grandson, so he immediately expressed his willingness to transfer to the prefect's side and help the prefect take care of these properties.

Then the Luoyi people called the shopkeepers one by one, Zhao Rugui who was in charge of ironstone mines and weapons workshops, Tong Huaniang who was in charge of restaurants and brothels, Gu Zhixin who was in charge of wine business, Xiao Zifu who was in charge of medicinal materials business, Ji Zongqi who was in charge of fur business, These six shopkeepers, the Luoyi people were soft or hard, or pulled or beat them, and they surrendered one by one.

However, Hu Li, the big treasurer in charge of ranch and horse and livestock trading, and Sun Cheng, the big treasurer in charge of the border trade with Xixia in Liao, suffered setbacks.

Sun Cheng sternly refused, and said very forcefully that without the personal order of the county king, his business would not be handed over to anyone.

As for Hu Li, he was even more arrogant. He even said to the Luoyi people: "I am an old man from the palace, and I have served the county palace all my life. Prefect Qin, but you don't want to take any of the property in my hand."

After finishing speaking, Xiong Er didn't even look at it, and walked away with his sleeves.

"When did it happen?" Qin Guan asked.

"Just yesterday, I found out from my investigation that the two of them are the most difficult to deal with, so I put them at the end. Although I have made preparations, I still failed in the end." The Luoyi people were a little frustrated that they had not been able to fully control the property .

Qin Guan touched her face, and said: "You have done well enough, much more than I expected, the two of them, let the master handle it."

Qin Guan pondered for a while. The border trade between Song Ke and Liao Kingdom Xixia may involve a lot of gray business, smuggling, and even deeper reasons, so Sun Cheng refused to hand it over.

As for Hu Li, he probably reacted like this because he was an old man in the palace and used to being arrogant and domineering.

Qin Guan came to the barracks with a few guards.

Xiong Da Xiong Er led the commander and all heads to meet Qin Guan at the door.

This was Qin Guan's first visit to the barracks after recruiting the Xinxiang Army.

Riding on the horse, Qin watched that the scale of the barracks had expanded several times, and countless soldiers were practicing, but these soldiers were only wearing commoner clothes, with blue scarves around their heads, and holding wooden spears in their hands, which was very simple.

Qin Guan felt that these Xiang troops looked like miscellaneous troops, or even peasant rebels, and they didn't look like government troops at all.

Qin Guan stood on the high platform, and 500 soldiers stood up under the stage to accept the review, then the drill queue, and finally put on a [-]-person pair fighting performance.

Qin nodded. In just one month, Xiong Daxiong Er did a good job of turning these former farmers into soldiers who could understand orders.

After the inspection, Qin Guan walked on the playground with his hands behind his back, looking at the soldiers who were still training, accompanied by Xiong Daxiong Er.

Qin Guan asked, "Is there any problem with the barracks?"

Xiong Da Xiong Er looked at each other and replied: "There are indeed some problems."

"Tell me."

"The first is the issue of officers. Now these officers are selected by the two of us from those Xiang armies. They are said to be commanders and heads, but they have no status." Xiong Dao said.

"What are they all about?"

"They are all old men who have served in the army before, and even experienced military battles, but later returned to the village for various reasons. This time, because of the shortage of manpower, they were promoted."

Qin nodded, looking like a grassroots team.

Qin Guan also had no solution to this question.

If the imperial court sends people to come, then he can't guarantee that this army will completely obey his orders. If these people are used, they will have no name and no role.

Finally Qin Guan said: "You tell them, work hard, and when I have a chance in the future, I will definitely report to the court and give them a background."

"What else?" Qin Guan asked again.

"There is also the food. If you want to quickly form combat effectiveness, you need to increase the amount of training, but this requires strengthening the food, otherwise the soldiers will not be able to withstand it."

Qin nodded.

"This can be solved directly. In the future, two meals will be changed to three meals, and meat will be eaten once every three days." Qin Guan said directly.

Don't look at eating meat once every three days, this standard was already very high in ancient times.

"Young master, there is also armor, as you have seen, many soldiers now hold a stick without even a spearhead, let alone armor."

"A real army must have the most basic units of archers, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen to cooperate in combat."

"Now this Xiang army lacks everything."
