In March, the warm breeze from the south blows away the snow in winter. Snow water flowed like a stream on the muddy ground, and the peach blossoms in the trees by the roadside produced budding flower bones. People in the village are repairing farm tools in preparation for the annual spring ploughing.

Yun Xiao took a breath of moist air, and the cool air seemed to be pressed into his lungs. It makes people feel uplifted, or this era without pollution, the sky is so blue, and the water is so clear.

On the bluestone paved road, there was a long line. The big one is Zhang Nianyi, and behind him are 8,000 selected Jiangnan children.

Shandong's soldiers arrived early, and now they have begun training. The road to Jiangnan is long, so I arrived late.

"Master Hou, why don't you recruit more soldiers. My subordinates said that this time it should be full of 10,000 people. Canghu said as he looked at the team that was getting closer and closer.

"Tiger! Eight thousand in Jiangnan and eight thousand in Shandong, this is 16,000 people, plus our original people. Now the people are already the limit of what our family can support, 20,000 people each have two yuan per month. It is 40,000 yuan in a month and nearly 500,000 yuan in a year.

There is also money to settle their families, and some benefits will be given after being discharged from the army. In addition, there are all kinds of armor, weapons, and clothing, and there is no expenditure of more than one million yuan a year. If we recruit 350,000 soldiers, I am afraid that we will have to eat our family poorly. ”

"Hmmm! Dai Yu is right, that's what he said. Raising soldiers should be raised according to economic ability, and you recruit so many soldiers. But he had no money to feed, and in the end he had no money in his pocket with a knife in his hand. Either you rebelled or went up the mountain to become a bandit. ”

Yun Xiao glanced at Dai Yu appreciatively, after all, he had experienced it. I also know that I can make a hat with my head. Canghu is a little rough and doesn't think about things so thoroughly.

"Master Hou, didn't you say that there is a place on the other side of the sea. There is gold and silver everywhere under the ground, and our family now has so many soldiers. This is not a small expense, if we can go to the other side of the sea to dig for gold and silver, our family will have a lot more money. ”

As soon as Canghu's words came out, Yun Xiao understood that he had fallen for Canghu. This guy is staring at what he said, it seems that this guy has also experienced well, and he actually knows the thick and the fine. Now I know how to set myself up.

"It seems that the tiger is a little lonely, and the Hou Ye also said that the soldiers are all fought. Last year, I took these little guys to fight, and my skills are really not as good as those old people of us. Or give the little ones some opportunities, and see more blood and experience. Otherwise, such a generation leads a generation. It can only get worse. ”

Dai Yu slipped beside him. It seems that he discussed it with Canghu.

"I knew you wouldn't be idle, but not yet. First, there is still a strong wind at sea, and it is dangerous to go to sea at this time. The second is that the Jiang family in Chenhan is still migrating to Daqiu, and we can't help but be careful. What the Jiang family is thinking about is still listening to his words and watching his deeds. Again. Geng Feng's new five large ships have not yet been completed.

You really want to fight. Poop good training. Roughly in May and June, it is always possible to go. At that time, the newly trained soldiers could defend the city, and even if there was anything wrong with the Jiang family, we could deal with it. Geng Feng's big ship was also built. Our logistics will not be cut off.

At that time, the sea was less rough and the waves were smaller in the year, which was also conducive to navigation. ”

"What kind of bird is the Jiang family, Master Hou said a word, I goshawk took people to kill him." The goshawk rushed out with a roar, and the eagle had beaten the little tiger after he died. None of the people who look at the peninsula are pleasing to the eye, and they can't wait to kill all the aborigines of the peninsula before they stop.

"O eagle! This man has been killed, and who are we looking for to plant so much land? If there is no harvest, who will we turn to collect taxes? Without taxes, what will we use to raise soldiers? Yun Xiao patted the goshawk on the shoulder, and a series of questions choked the goshawk's face and neck. This man, who only knows how to kill for fun, stands cramped to the side like a schoolboy who has made a mistake.

"Lord Hou......"

"It's okay, it's okay. Although the eagle does not understand politics and people's livelihood, he is still a good hand at training. Our brave cavalry and shooting were brought out by the eagles. I see, compared to the Hun cavalry, it is not inferior. ”

Yun Xiao patted the goshawk's shoulder and relieved, after all, he was a confidant, and he couldn't let the goshawk have an inferiority complex. I feel that I am worse than Dai Yu and Canghu.

"Master Hou, the one named Jin San is here. He also said that he brought the head of Tuoba Hong. ”

An iron guard hurriedly ran up the city wall and saluted Yunxiao.

"Oh, you're here?"

"I just received the flying pigeon message, and the person has arrived in Jimo."

"Okay, let's get on board now. I'd like to see how sincere this Yi Zhixian is. ”

"Master Hou, we don't know Tuoba Hong. How do you know that the head is Tuoba Hong's? If the Huns are just trying to deceive us, then ......," Dai Yu said thoughtfully.

"We don't know each other, and Qing Jianu doesn't know each other? The docks on the east coast have been repaired, although for the time being, large ships cannot run. The boat still ran away, and the head came and sent Qing Jianu there. There will be a reply after half a month, so let this kid play in our King City for half a month.

The scenery in this King Kong Mountain is still good, and it still has a unique flavor when it comes to green in spring. Hahaha......"

Jin San walked into the council with his head held high, and this time he came to the Great King City with what Yun Xiao wanted. There is a bit of a sense of complacency.

However, Yi Zhixian also gave him a new task, that is, to buy a thousand sabers from the Yun family. There are 2,000 strong bows produced by the Yun family, as well as a number of other weapons. Although some people died in the winter of looting, Yi Zhixian still had a lot more money on hand.

"Yunhou, according to your request, Da Dan Yu killed Tuoba Hong. Now the head is presented, hoping that the Hou Ye can feel the sincerity of our Yizhi Da Danyu. ”

As he spoke, Jin San offered a black lacquered wooden box in his hand, the Huns did not make lacquerware, apparently it was made by the looted Han craftsmen. The lacquer box was a little rough done. But it can be seen that Yi Zhixian attaches great importance to this matter.

Yun Xiao has never liked to look at these heads and the like, and even if he looks at him, he doesn't know it, whether Tuoba Hong is or not has to see that Jianu has the final say. With a wave of his hand, the goshawk took the black lacquered wooden box.

This wooden box will be sent to the Northland by fast horse, and after Qing Jianu confirms it, the flying pigeon will pass the book back.

"Okay, since your Shan Yu has a letter, then Ben Hou will also show sincerity. Ben Hou will do his best to determine the authenticity of the human head, as long as the human head is real. Ben Hou will let you bring back 500 high-quality iron pots according to the agreement. In addition, Ben Hou will also have other gifts, giving Yi Zhi oblique large single Yu. ”

"Master Hou, this head Lord Hou has naturally been verified. However, there are other things to discuss with Yun Hou this time. ”

"Oh, what else is going on with Mr. Shinzo?"

"Yunhou knows that I, the Great Huns, have been at war with the Han army and the countries of the Western Regions all year round. This time, in order to complete Yunhou's commission, he also offended Su Shenren. Da Shan Yu wants to do a business with Yun Hou and buy some Yun family's strong bows and sabers, if Yun Hou allows it......"

"Needless to say, Mr. Jinsan's mention will not be considered. When Mr. goes back, Benhou will give ten catties of high-quality mountain ginseng. and 50 horses of silk, and some seasonal dried seafood to take home for a large order to taste. ”

When Yun Xiao heard that the Huns actually wanted to buy ordnance, he could never agree. The Xiongnu iron cavalry was already stronger than the Han army, even with the advantage of chariot soldiers. The Han army could only rely on a large number of people and strong crossbows, which could be a draw.

If the Yun family's sabre and strong bow were sold to the Huns, it would definitely break the strategic balance. Although it can't threaten the Great King City, the people at the border are about to suffer.

"Yunhou, don't be in such a hurry to refuse, the conditions we put forward are very generous. Big orders are more than willing to ......"

"Why are you so noisy, even if you move a mountain of gold. Our Hou Ye will not sell weapons to you, you will die of this heart! ”

Canghu saw that Jin San was finished, and Yun Xiao had already frowned. Standing up and pointing at Jin San is squatting and falling, his appearance is already vicious. This Jinsan was stunned by him and couldn't remember what he said at the back door on the spot.

"Tiger, don't scare him. The two countries have not yet cut off the two countries, and we can't afford to treat our old friends slowly. Mr. Jinsan, please go back and tell Yi Zhi Da Danyu. The Yun family would not sell their ordnance to the Xiongnu, and naturally they would not sell it to the Han.

If Ben Hou sold his ordnance to the Xiongnu, then the Han Dynasty would naturally go to Ben Hou to buy it. In the final analysis, it is impossible for Benhou or Han not to sell to the Han. Mr. Shinzo thinks about it, if it is in terms of financial resources. Did the Xiongnu have the ability to compare with the Han? If the border army of the Han Dynasty is equipped with the strong bow and crossbow of the Yun family, then it will be much more difficult for the Huns to take advantage of the border pass in the future. ”

What Yun Xiao said was reasonable, and Jin San, who was blinded by the tiger, couldn't think of anything for a while. I had to touch my chest with my hand and give a deep salute to Yun Xiao. Dai Yu took him back to the inn.

"Master Hou, it seems that the management of ordnance must be strengthened immediately. If the Huns buy it at a high price, I am afraid that some people will lose their conscience and secretly sell it. ”

"Sledgehammer has always been in charge of manufacturing, but now you take care of it yourself. It is absolutely forbidden for a bow or a knife to wander out. If someone is in contact with a foreign country and buys the ordnance in his hand without permission. Then take the head back.

Also, strengthen the supervision of Xiongnu envoys. When he goes out on the street, he must be accompanied by two or more people. Hum! The big deal is a few dozen people, and 500 people are set aside to watch over them. I don't believe that these people can produce any other moths. ”

"No, this is the arrangement."

Canghu strode out of the conference hall, and Yun Xiao sat back in his chair.

If the Great Han really buys ordnance from himself, he really doesn't sell it to the Great Han? (To be continued......)
