Chapter 38: Befriending Ran Min?


Good morning, dear friends, the 360-degree spinning ball collection and recommended tickets There are more than 30,000 Jin people, excluding women, and the number of Jin people who can be used as a source of soldiers will not be less than 20,000.

Liu Yan can't arm 20,000 people at all for the time being, and it can even be said that even if he can, he won't consider doing so.

He built twenty workshops, each of which had enough materials to produce six weapons or a set of armor a day, and it would take half a year to arm 20,000 men.

Materials are actually a big problem, because iron ore will be very expensive for ordinary people to mine, and there are too few farmers who can use the system.

At present, there are 2,000 Jin people who are soldiers, and the ratio of soldiers to civilians is 15 to 1, which is also a last resort at this stage.

The Jin people who were not recruited as soldiers had to work every day, most of them did some work to cut wood, and those who knew how to water were fishing and hunting, and when they were not good, they hunted and gathered fruits.

Nearly 300 Hu people were captured from Buqicheng, and they worked under the supervision of Jin soldiers and system soldiers, and what they did was to collect iron ore.

God knows if there was an iron ore in Qingdao, anyway, Liu Yan discovered the iron ore and has already started mining, so he finally doesn't have to live a hard life of "resource recovery".

Iron ore exists, but Liu Yan doesn't know what the reserves should be, as if he can't know the amount of gold ore reserves.

"Well, maybe it's an idea."

Liu Yan said: "But it may be accepted" The occasion was in a high-rise building, and several people in charge had long known that Liu Yan was used to climbing high and looking into the distance.

Will they be able to gather with Liu Yan for dinner after a few days, or will they have a cold meal in this kind of venue blown by the sea breeze?

Tian Shuo started just now, and Ji Chang added that they agreed that they should bring a lot of money to Xiangguo to dredge and dredge, even if it can't completely eliminate the bad situation of attacking the city, how can it be eased Liu Yan thought of one thing, it seems that the person who is now called Shi Min and will change his name to Ran Min in the future should be at the stage of post-Zhao fame Maybe someone should be contacted.

It's just a matter of how to get in touch Previously, Shi Hu was defeated in the Battle of Changli, and all the armies of Later Zhao abandoned their armor and fled, and only an army led by Ran Min counterattacked and was not traumatized, so Ran Min's prestige was revealed.

Later Zhao attacked Jingzhou and Yangzhou of the Jin Kingdom, and several military horses or many had great victories, but no one could be as dazzling as Ran Min.

Did the Zhao army win first and then lose, and almost all of them suffered heavy losses in the battle of the Yangtze River, or only Ran Min almost retreated.

Several excellent performances, and Ran Min showed amazing command ability, which made Shi Hu very fond of it, but Liu Yan didn't know that those memories were incorrect, so he had to wait for someone to be sent to actually investigate in detail.

"Junshang" Tian Shuo had already called a few times, waiting for Liu Yan to finally react, and said: "Gold will always be welcomed, and even if you don't get the desired result by bribing a lot of money, it is a way to ease relations." ” In fact, what Tian Shuo wanted to say was that as long as he was willing to smash gold, those courtiers above the court might not help say anything good, but they would definitely not fall into the ground.

Even if he doesn't fall into the well in some things, he will help a lot, and I really want to persuade Liu Yan not to be reluctant to invest.

Gold is naturally extremely important to Liu Yan, and some powerful troops and scientific and technological research need to use gold, but when gold is needed to "open the way" on certain occasions, how can he be stingy After all, he wants to produce soldiers or scientific and technological research, provided that the power is still there.

"That's good, that's good" Tian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "While fighting against the Heavenly King's army, we are not the only ones who repair relations. ” Liu Yan didn't listen so carefully and asked.

When he got the answer, he didn't think it was any strange.

To put it bluntly, the population of the Qiang nationality is small, and almost more than eighty percent of the entire ethnic group is nested in Xiangguo, and the local area is ruled by other races.

The control of the Qi tribe over the local area began to decrease with the death of Shi Le, and rebellions occurred from time to time, as long as they were not too arrogant or self-reliant, the entire Later Zhao court was actually a little accustomed and numb.

"Ah" Tian Shuo was a little stupid: "Let the villain take people forward", he was surprised that Liu Yan dared to entrust dozens of catties of gold, and he was afraid to go to Xiangguo.

"Looks like that's all you can do now."

Liu Yan looked encouraged.

Tian Shuo immediately pointed to Zhang Shi, who had been silent, and said, "Steward Zhang will be more suitable than the villain." ” Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth obviously, and said to Liu Yan: "Steward Tian can help the monarch deal with internal affairs, and the Ji staff can give advice to the military strategy. ” Liu Yan stared at Zhang Shi for a long time, the expression on his face changed from serious to smiling, and the smile was gratifying: "Okay, each performs its own duties, don't worry that our power will not grow."

He looked deeply at everyone present, and the people who were scanned showed expressions of emotion after being praised, whether true or not.

When he had read it, he said, "Then it's up to you." ” Zhang Shi stood up very cautiously and saluted: "Don't dare to live up to the king" Bowing is actually a kind of etiquette that is almost 90 degrees bending.

In these years, it has not been exaggerated to the extent of kneeling and worshipping at every turn, and it is estimated that the Hu people did not understand that if they want to enslave a nation, they must first break the kneecaps of that nation Liu Yan specially let Zhang Shi speak alone, and the others also understood, after all, "the king is not a secret and loses his ministers", as a leader, he can be frank when necessary, but when it comes to the need to exercise confidentiality, it is still inappropriate.

"Shi Min" Zhang Shi of course knows this Nuo name: "The king means that Shi Min is the main befriender" "Yes.

Others are casual, but he must establish friendships" Liu Yan was extremely serious: "I know in my heart, if Shi Hu wants to send someone to attack, it will be either Li Nong or this Shi Min, the latter has the highest chance." ” Zhang Shi opened his mouth wide, he wanted to say, "We are just a small force, although we have conquered the city and killed the county guards, etc., but we don't need the first fierce future" and something like that, but he always has to save some face for his allegiance, so he can only be submissive, but in his heart he thinks that in addition to befriending Ran Min, those big Confucians must be greatly bribed.

The matter is clear, but there are still a lot of preparations to do it, such as the need to temporarily step up mining on gold.

After a little tidying up, Liu Yan finally prepared a hundred catties of gold for Zhang Shi, and dozens of specially processed scabbards.

Waiting for Zhang Shi to set off, Liu Yan also began to take the final steps of attacking the cabinet county.

"Your Majesty, the villain thinks" Ji Chang didn't dare to frown, but he really felt that Liu Yan was reckless.

He smiled flatteringly and said: "The king will give the villain another month, and after a month, if you can't use the plan to get the county city, the king will use the military again."

It has been explored very clearly, and the cabinet county will not have more than eight hundred combat power when it is fully calculated, and that is still the combat power of all families to participate in defending the city.

"Actually, it's not much of a so-called."

Liu Yan felt that he still understood: "I really hope that the recruited soldiers can increase their courage because of the victory, as long as it can bring them victory in the end, and they don't care about how to gain control of the county." ” Ji Chang was immediately stunned, in the past month, Liu Yan has all expressed his posture of wanting to kill a river of blood, and Ji Chang thought that Liu Yan didn't disdain to use a gentle method at all.

Liu Yancai didn't know that Ji Chang would leave such an impression because he didn't leave a move in the chicken dog in the city, and the two discussed for a long time, and decided to take it for a month
