Zhang Shi met Jiang Gan in a small building, and Jiang Gan's first impression he had was that he was a martial artist, that is, he had full of sharpness.
"Hanbu has its own smelting technology" Jiang Gan also wears a kind of corset, which is different from Hanbu's style in that the style on his body is more fancy.
He looked at Zhang Shi, who was kneeling directly opposite, and said, "There is also a secret method for drying salt."
The environment of the small building is very quiet, there are green bamboo and flowing water, and the layout should be arranged by the master, but I don't know what the reason has become a place to go green.
Zhang Shi didn't want to answer at all, he asked that kind of thing as soon as he opened his mouth, you can imagine what he would talk about next, and he had the urge to get up and leave.
What the Hu people want is to rob, Ran Min's shogunate is mostly Jin people, but don't expect how civilized it can be, what you want is the word "rob".
Jiang Gan saw that Zhang Shi was silent, and laughed a few times: "What does the leader of the Han Department want to get?"
Zhang Shi finally turned his gaze to Jiang Gan and said: "My family master hopes to have a backer in the court", he frowned slightly, and sighed lowly: "As soon as the general comes, he will ask about smelting and drying salt, and your family master will not be a good backer." ” Jiang Gan was not angry, he said: "Heard, is the husband innocent and guilty?"
Zhang Shi nodded: "Since my lord has taken out the goods to trade, he has not wanted to conceal the secret method of smelting and drying salt.
When he saw a smile on Jiang Gan's face, he laughed himself, and then said, "It's just a tribute to someone, not a tribute."
The method of drying salt may still be useful, but the smelting technique is a bit of a problem for most people.
The smelting technology was available in the imperial court, and the officials wanted to smelt the method very simply, but with the smelting method, there were also craftsmen and a fixed source of ore.
For many people, it is not difficult for craftsmen to obtain or cultivate, the difficulty is the fixed source of ore, which is not something that a single family can control at all.
What Ran Min really wants is the complete surrender of the Han Department, so that the productivity of the Han Department becomes his productivity, that is to say, Liu Yan is dispensable, but the ore channel and those craftsmen will be pinched in his hands.
Knowing how much the Han Ministry has the power to produce weapons and salt, as long as there is to find out, it is not difficult to know, after all, Liu Yan never thought of hiding it from the beginning.
Ran Min will not be the first force to reach out, nor will it be the last. wants to sell the goods in exchange for the resources he needs, and he also wants to keep it secret, what kind of logic is this, petty fuss can't satisfy Liu Yan's appetite, that's why he didn't plan to hide it from the beginning.
In addition, there will be some forces that are tempting, but that is exactly what he wants to happen, so that he can get in touch with those forces that are tempting and take what he needs.
Jiang Gan was silent when he heard Zhang Shi say that.
Yes, the Han Department can be sacrificed, but it is not dedicated to anyone "What does the leader of the Han tribe want," Jiang Gan asked again.
"The price code on my lord is 200 war knives or war swords in exchange for the post of county guard of Changguang County."
Zhang Shi paused, took a sip of wine, and said: "You can offer 1,000 catties of salt every season, and seek to have a backer to help you if you have something to do in the court." ” Jiang Gan frowned: "What about the weapon?"
"Except for table salt, weapons are not among the offerings."
Zhang Shi said very seriously: "In addition to the 1,000 catties of salt is a tribute, if you want more, you can only trade." ” Jiang Gan squinted at Zhang Shi, slightly ill-intentioned: "In other words, the Han Department does not intend to take refuge in the Marquis of Xiucheng."
"Do you dare to accept the refuge of my family master" Zhang Shi carried a hint of absurdity: "You have news about us, you must know a little bit, Qingzhou is just one of my family's properties."
Don't you think that my lord is all the power on the Qingzhou side" It can be understood that Liu Yan is not from Hou Zhao's side at all, and has his own tribe somewhere.
As for where the tribe is, guess what No one would really think that Liu Yan's strength was so much on display, you must know that Liu Yan had already come up with at least 1,200 troops that could be called elite.
The reason why an elite is an elite is that it is not a kind of army that can be trained casually. can take out 1,200 elites, even if it is already all the elites of Liu Yan, how can there be 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers with a poor level behind them.
In this way, there can be 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, so how can the size of the tribe be more than 100,000 According to the speculation of the Ran Min shogunate, Liu Yan's origin will definitely not be simple, it can't be Saibei, it should be in the area of Liaodong, and Liu Yan shouldn't be his real name.
Is there any force in Liaodong, it's quite a lot?
The strongest were Murong Xianbei, and then there were small tribes or countries such as Duan Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Buyeo.
Because Liu Yan had just entered the field of vision of various family forces, it was impossible to collect too detailed information in a short period of time, so he could only rely on limited information and rich imagination to work hard to reduce the scope and finally confirm it.
Do you know what the conclusion of Ran Min's thinkers came to in the end, they thought that Liu Yan would not be the sand mixed with Xianbei or the Jin State, and excluded those powerful countries with strength and no motives, and strangely concluded that Liu Yan was from the Goguryeo side It's really a bit of a factual basis, Goguryeo received quite a lot of Jin fugitives, and then Goguryeo is actually highly sinicized culturally, and Ran Min's think tanks also came up with "evidence", Liu Yan's troop combat style is similar to the Jin army, but it is not a little tougher than the Jin army, Liu Yan's troop robe and armor style are completely "Han Army" style, and it just so happens that Goguryeo also maintains the style of "Han Army".
Of course, knowing it doesn't mean saying it, Jiang Gan showed that he wanted to annex the Han Ministry for his own use, but it was another temptation, seeing that Zhang Shi was so calm, he basically became more determined that the Han Department was a "chess piece" on the Goguryeo side.
"Yes, the imperial court fought with Murong Xianbei the year before last, and won the battle."
Jiang Gan himself brought the topic to the war against Xianbei, and he said with a smile: "Xianbei was drunk as a stick in the south, and he has turned his troops around, and it seems that he has turned his gaze to Fuyu, Lou Ru, and Hui" He stared at Zhang Shi with his eyes, and deliberately dragged his tail note before saying: "Of course, there is Goguryeo." ” Zhang Shi turned around a thousand times in his heart, frowned appropriately, and then raised the wine cup and took a sip.
His series of actions seemed to be to cover something, and it was really to cover up, but it was really not so clear where the object of his allegiance came from.
"If you want to make a contribution to the cultivation of Hou, a thousand catties of salt per season is too little."
Jiang Gan thought that his plan had succeeded, and made a price: "One thousand catties per month, and twenty more war swords." ” "It's more" Zhang Shi's tone was not so firm: "Two thousand catties per quarter, and the weapon can be twenty." ” "No, it's the number I'm talking about below.
In addition, you also need to keep some of the weapons produced for your own use, and sell the rest to Xiuchenghou.
Except for Qingzhou," Jiang Gan had an expression of being sure of you: "The salt in the rest of the places is also resold by the Marquis of Xiucheng." ” "Grace."
Zhang Shi said with difficulty: "If the Marquis of Xiu Cheng can convince the Yao family, the Li family, the Lu family, the Du family, the Xu family, and the Yin family, we naturally have no opinion. ” Jiang Gan immediately turned his face: "What do you mean?"
"My lord didn't deliberately hide it, and not only the Marquis of Xiucheng knew about my lord."
Zhang Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Since the Marquis of Xiucheng is here, presumably other families will not give up."
Jiang Gan's face instantly became extremely bad, and he thought: "It's indeed a big problem":
