Chapter 209: Under Heaven

Half a year flies in a flash......

In the past six months, there has been no military action in Beichen Kingdom, and it has only developed in obscurity. Under the peaceful development of the commercial economy, it has become more rapid. Countless businessmen are running back and forth in the country, but these are small people.

The real big businessmen have gone abroad, and the World Chamber of Commerce is such a behemoth. This chamber of commerce was formed by dozens of wealthy businessmen in Beichen, and although it has only been a few months, its influence is extraordinary.

Because everyone knows that there is a stake in the king of Beichen in the World Chamber of Commerce, which is said to be not low. In addition to the assets that Xiao Chen invested in it, Xiao Chen also arranged various protection forces for the Chamber of Commerce.

The land route is protected by the Royal Army, and the sea route is protected by the three major fleets. It can be said that there is no need to worry about the safety of the Chamber of Commerce after going abroad.

In the southeast coastal zone, many large merchant ships can be seen. Of course, these merchant ships were sold to them by the Beichen Naval Division, and if they really let the common people build their own ships, they won't be much in half a year. If someone insisted on building a shipyard, Xiao Chen would not stop him, but provided various boats to support him.

It is impossible for the domestic economy and workshops to be presided over by the imperial court all the time, and it is better to develop more private workshops. Some unimportant issues such as shipyards, wineries, etc., have been fully liberalized. However, the most important weapon manufacturing, Xiao Chen still did not dare to ruthlessly let go of the technology.

Large merchant ships were loaded with fine wine, silk, and spices, all of which were rotten in the country. But in the blink of an eye, when sold to Xiyi country, it can get ten times the profit. As a result, these three items became a tool for Beichen Kingdom to collect foreign gold and silver.

Under the leadership of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, countless businessmen traveled all over the Beacon Continent, and at the same time provided a large amount of taxes for the Beichen Kingdom.

When the tax revenue reached a * again, Beichen Kingdom also strengthened its own strength for a time. The first thing to mention is the birth of the Tang Knife, the Mo Knife and the Buren Armor, as soon as these three pieces of equipment came out, they were directly armed by Xiao Chen with the Yulin Army.

Among the 100,000 soldiers of the Yulin Army, all the sword and shield soldiers were redressed with Tang swords, and the Changge soldiers remained unchanged. It's just that 3,000 soldiers were selected from countless Changge soldiers and trained as hoplites. Abandoned the delicate fish scale armor, put on a thicker step armor, and raised the sharp and heavy Mo knife. 20,000 archers were all transformed into crossbowmen.

The rest of the Guards, the Royal Army, remained unchanged. However, the Royal Cavalry was expanded into two armies. The main reason is that the supply of war horses has kept up with the progress recently, and I believe that in the future, the Beichen Kingdom will have more cavalry troops.

Within half a year, the Beichen Army has almost completed the replenishment of personnel and the replacement of garrisons. Six Royal Army, one Yulin Army, one Guards, plus two cavalry armies, can be said to be the most elite troops of the Beichen Army.

The remaining ten army units are still working hard to train desperately. I hope to be able to make a contribution in the future war and become the Seventh Royal Army. The servant army is not so well enlightened, and it just copes with it every day, and it has nothing to do with two exercises. After all, they are not elite troops after all, and the Beichen Army did not expect them to be able to do earth-shattering things.

The garrison of the second line also reached more than one million people, and they were not only the troops guarding the city, but also the reserve of the regular army of the Beichen Army
