In the early morning of the next day, Gao Ran returned with his foot soldiers who had traveled hundreds of miles, exhausted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

More than 300 people failed to keep up with the rapid march. In fact, they are not to blame, Yan Bei said that he was carrying seventy pounds of armed equipment on his back and marching for fifty miles, but in fact, he marched for ten hours and marched for a hundred miles.

Who can stand this?

Running overnight, these Jizhou men were tired enough, and they fell asleep after eating warm soup, and no one complained about them when they slept crookedly and snoring in the camp. Even the other soldiers in the open-jaw camp lightly lifted their burdens.

The soldiers traveled hundreds of miles a day, and this ability convinced these left-behind soldiers.

At noon, those stragglers came back in disgrace, and Yan Bei assigned them another area in the camp to rest. Perhaps their combat ability is not inferior to those soldiers who complete the journey on time, but this is just the beginning, since there are established rules must be enforced, Yanbei did not relax the standards, they had to rest in Xiangping for two days before embarking on the road to the counties on the return trip.

Yan Bei instructed Zhang Jaw to arrange the selection of troops for the next three days, and after a day of rest, he judged his marksmanship, and then rode his horse to attack three hundred miles, and then he could start the battle formation training for the rest of the people. After giving these instructions, he returned to Xiangping and sorted out all the news collected from various parts of Liaodong in the past three days.

His life has become simpler, after half a month of war and chaos, everything in Liaodong is on the right track. In fact, this half a month has nothing to do with him, the key is that Fu Zhu and Tian Yu have successively completed the preparation of the county government and the county government's assistants, although there is still a lot of difference in execution, but after Fu Zhu has enough available people in his hands, all matters can be arranged.

Liaodong Taishou is not easy to do, even with the help of Zhao and Zhen Yao, everything in Liaodong still keeps him busy.

Liaodong only experienced the impact of the Erzhang Rebellion last year, and the original affairs of the county government almost stagnation for a whole year, and he began to vigorously rectify at the beginning of his tenure, whether it was the commercial market outside the city, the Zhaoxian Pavilion, or the county school in Xiangping City, it was all things he needed to consider.

Even after Ma An's horse trafficking team began to traffic horses in eastern and western Liaoning, the money was spent as soon as it was delivered, and the grain was transferred to various counties as soon as it was sent back.

Immediately afterwards, another piece of good news that made Yan Bei feel sad came to his ears from the county government.

Gongchangling, Anping Township, southeast of Xiangping, has the official iron ore of the former county government, the mountain road and a lot of mining tools are ready-made, as long as there are manpower, you can excavate, if the manpower is sufficient, you can dig at least 5,000 catties of ore a day...... But the key problem is that there is no manpower!

Although notices were posted outside Xiangping City about the recruitment of craftsmen in Tiewu, the number of people who applied for the job every day became smaller and smaller, and by mid-June, only 100 craftsmen had been recruited, and the number of apprentices with wounded soldiers had reached 800. However, just to maintain the normal production of agricultural tools, it is necessary to use all the craftsmen and more than 400 apprentices, plus the manpower to fire the iron ingots, and only 100 people can come out to mine.

What can a person do at this point, carry a hoe to the mine and chisel hard, even if the fire is burned and then cooled with water to cut off the stones, only 3,000 catties of stone can be made every day, and there can be 1/12 of the ore in the head to the sky, not to mention that the amount of iron produced in the iron ore is only 60% at most.

Two pack horses set up a cart, and they ran two times a day to transport the ore back to Tiewu, and finally they could produce 200 catties of iron ingots and burn high incense.

The hoes, sickles, and iron plows that Tie Wu made in a day consumed more than 200 catties of iron ingots.

Despite the sorrow, this discovery was enough to surprise Yanbei. Just because there's no one now doesn't mean there's no one to use in the future. Look at Xiangping's current caravans, schools, recruitment halls, tuntian, military selection, wrought iron ...... All these measures are long-term solutions. As long as we survive the most difficult two years at the beginning, we will have the capital to recruit people for next year's grain harvest, and these tasks that require labor will be able to develop rapidly as long as they are put on the shelf now.

Since there is a ready-made mine now, Yanbei will never let him be abandoned, and on the third day after receiving the news, he transferred two songs from Zhangjaw's other battalion to camp at the foot of the mine, and dozens of secret posts were set up in the wilderness and mountains within a radius of fifty miles, and this mountain area called Gongchangling was divided into a forbidden area, and idle people were not allowed to pass.

He even calculated that when there was enough money and food in the coming year, the first thing he would do was to build a few melting furnaces in the camp at the foot of the mountain, and transfer some craftsmen to burn iron ingots here to reduce the pressure on the road.

At present, the forty-mile road from Gongchangling to Tiewu is not felt, but in the future, the mining volume of the mine will increase, and the transportation pressure will increase exponentially. It is only when the transport pressure is high that the significance of firing iron ingots immediately after the mine is released and removing half of the waste.

In addition, at least the pressure of Xiangping's stone is not large. With the mine's masonry constantly cutting ore, there are thousands of catties of stone transported by carriage every day, these stones do not know what significance is not known for the time being, Yanbei ordered the two people stationed in the mine to use these stones to build two stone plugs along the pseudo-water of the room one east and one west, and choke the entrance and exit of the mine valley...... Later, the stone production increased, and even the two stone plugs built by the mountain were connected together to form a mine pass.

It's just not strategic.

When there is nowhere to put the waste stone, find a place to pile it on both sides of the mountain road.

It can deter the unscrupulous people in the county center!

……

In the blink of an eye, late June.

Although the nights are still cool, the days are so hot that you can't help but want a summer rainstorm overhead to dissipate the heat.

Since June, Yanbei's life has returned to the appearance of the year before last when he was in Fanyang Wubao, all the affairs at hand are entrusted to his cronies to do, he has been studying and practicing martial arts in the Xiangping mansion all day long, and occasionally walking horses out of the city with Zhen Jiang, and his life is quiet and comfortable.

It was as if he was not the unappointed captain of the Han Dynasty and the leader of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and this chaotic situation had nothing to do with him.

The selection of Yanzhao warriors is over, and after a variety of ways in Yanbei, 2,800 warriors are finally selected from physical fitness, archery, horsemanship, martial arts, battle formations, etc., and these people will each get 20 acres of reclaimed land as a gift to them in Yanbei at the beginning of next year, and get 400 yuan per month.

This means that there will be 2,800 professional samurai in Liaodong County who are completely out of production and make a living from martial arts.

And they are the only private soldiers in Liaodong who only belong to Yanbei.

The Yanzhao warriors are divided into six songs, and the direct boss is Yanbei, and there is a military Sima Zhangjaw, who can act as a lieutenant in Yanbei's absence. Five songs with 500 people each, and another song with 300 samurai will serve as Yanbei's personal guard warriors after the whole training.

On this day, Yanbei was practicing bow and arrow shooting in the vestibule, when he heard the sound of Le Ma outside the courtyard wall. Fang just put down the arrow and put on his single clothes, and saw that it was frustrated that he was visiting in person, and as soon as he crossed the gate of the mansion, he raised his arms towards Yanbei and said: "Lord, come on, ouch, why haven't you dressed yet, come on, serve the general to sort out the crown and belt!" ”

Yan Beili blinked his eyes twice, looking at the joy and eagerness on his face, he couldn't help but wonder, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with Gonghe, I didn't see you so happy when Chengnan found the mine, why did you come here in person today?" ”

"What a joy! Qingzhou is making yellow scarves again! Frustrated professor seemed to be really stimulated by some great happy event, and said after speaking: "Great happy event, the lord quickly till the crown belt, and I will go to the recruitment hall to wait!" ”

Yan Bei frowned and asked, "How can the yellow scarf in Qingzhou be said to be a big happy event, isn't it...... Who are you waiting for at the Recruiting Hall? ”

"Ouch, I beg your pardon for being rude. Qingzhou Yellow Turban is not a happy event, but in recent days, Qingzhou has crossed the sea to Liaodong to avoid many people, just today, Sun Qing sent a horse to say that Liaodong came to two celebrities! ”

After a pause at this point, he said solemnly to Yan Bei: "Bing Yuan and Wang Lie! ”

Yan Bei paused with a serious face when he heard this, and then he muttered, "Bing Yuan and Wang Lie? ”

"Yes! Generals, Wang Lie, Wang Yanfang, Bing Yuan, Bing Genju! His subordinates had sent a message to Sun Qing to pick them up, and they should be there in the afternoon. Fu Zhu opened his hand and said: "When such a great sage arrives, as the lord of Liaodong, you should order someone to clear the Zhaoxian Pavilion to show your corporal Lixian!" ”

"Well, that's right." Yan Bei nodded and pushed away the attendants on the left and right, put on a proper crown belt and tied a single coat, hung a jade pendant on his waist and carried a Han sword, prepared his appearance and led the horse to leave the house in parallel with Fu Zhu, and then slowly asked Fu Zhu: "What are the two of them who can make Fu Jun pay so much attention?" ”

He was about to get on his horse, when he heard this, he turned his head and widened his eyes, as if he had seen something extraordinary, and said, "Has the general never even heard of any of these two?" ”

Yan Bei pursed his lips and let out a long breath, turned over and twisted his neck, and then said: "Is it the first time that Yan has shown his loneliness in front of the frustrated monarch?" It's not that you don't know that when Yan Moucai attacked Handan, he read a rush chapter, and he was taught by Brother Zhen. ”

Thinking about it, he only thinks that Bing Yuan and Wang Lie are famous, and I'm afraid that there are few people who don't know about it...... But at this time, Yan Bei opened his mouth to speak, and he realized that Yan Bei was not actually a scholar in the traditional sense, not even Haoqiang, and it was naturally not strange not to know the names of these two people.

"These two people are famous people in the world, Wang Lieju filial piety was recruited by the three governments, and he was the disciple of the three monarchs Chen Zhonggong; Bingyuan was virtuous and transcendent, and he studied thousands of miles when he was young, and both of them were great Confucians. Since the general doesn't know their names, there is no need to say more, as long as you act like a corporal Lixian, and let your subordinates deal with them, be sure to keep these two great talents in the county, with them, it will be very easy to govern the county! ”
