Since he has the help of Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng, Zhao Ji also agreed to prepare for the establishment of a patrol to protect Li Guojian, of course, he also has his own considerations. "He never thought that this 800-strong patrol army would become the cornerstone of the new army of the Great Song Dynasty, but he had high expectations for 800 people, after all, it was the first army he handled, and he cherished it extraordinarily.

Since the first year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang gathered troops to raise troops in Liang Shanbo, 37 people led thousands of troops, rampant in more than ten military states in Jingdong and Hebei, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were invincible, did not dare to compete with it, and lost the face of the forbidden army.

Zhao Guan's family was unwilling, a group of small bandits were making a lot of trouble, he waved his big hand and threw this bit of to the place, appeasing and exterminating it at the same time.

However, Song Jiang and the others are heading south, and they have already entered the Yizhou area and Tianzhang Pavilion to be controlled, and Zeng Xiaoyun, who knows Qingzhou, is likely to enter Xuzhou. This made it inevitable for Wang Xiu to seize the best opportunity to strengthen Xuzhou's armament.

Some gentry even said that recruiting 800 people was a bit small. The most important thing in our country is copper, iron and money, so we have to recruit thousands of people. Besides, Tong Guan was ordered to assemble 150,000 troops of the Northern Expedition, and the armies of all walks of life are constantly gathering, and the soldiers and horses everywhere are almost the same, and the troops of the two roads in Jingdong are empty, and it is imperative to strengthen the local armor.

After Cai Gengdao's performance, Zhao Ji simply did a good job to the end, sent Wang Xiu to the prison of the forbidden army, and asked him to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the Li Guojian in a unified manner, which can be regarded as Liang Shicheng's kindness. However, due to the recruitment and deployment of troops and horses in Tong Guan's Northern Expedition, the soldiers and horses on the right side of the 35th General of the Li Guojian have already been transferred, and the rest are just soldiers and horses left behind in the camp, and Wang Xiu's detention is worthy of the name.

He didn't ask what the bird forbidden army was, and went all out to train the local soldiers of the township army, and the issue of military pay was difficult for others, but he was able to catch it.

Because of his grace in office, he practiced inaction, did not impose additional taxes on iron smelters, did not extort money, and increased the force of law and order, both those who despised him and those who admired him gave him some face.

In other words, in order to build up this armed force, he will never touch the entrenched interest strata of the country, and win the support of those vested interests, so that he has almost no resistance in terms of army building and food and salary, but on the contrary, he has the support of the majority. A supervisor who accommodates them, forms a strong armed force to protect their property, and even the workshop has soldiers and horses patrolling, and the security is greatly increased, so the fool is not happy! Who is a fool who owns thousands of pieces of furniture, or is trusted by the proprietor to sit in the country?

Besides, as the four generals of Jingdong were continuously transferred, and the threat of Song ** Kou became more and more serious, these big iron smelters and businessmen felt uneasy, and it was also beneficial for them to strengthen the local armed defense of the city. When Wang Xiu convened everyone to discuss the formation and training of soldiers and horses, and asked these large households to give them food and salary support, they were immediately unanimously supported, and the problem of food and salary for more than 800 people was easily solved.

Another point is the armor of the battle equipment, Li Guojian is the place where the steel is produced, the equipment of these native soldiers makes the forbidden army also envious, the important thing is that the funds are sufficient, and even more than 200 war horses were purchased, and then with mules and horses, an elite horse team was formed to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the native soldiers.

I can't help but say that Cai Gengdao is still relatively righteous, and did not interfere with Wang Xiu's leading troops, as Zhizhou, he has every reason to transfer the troops immediately, after all, Zhizhou is the official of the feudal territory and has the absolute power to lead the troops, but he didn't do that, and directly formed a good relationship with Wang Xiu.

Just when the situation is changing, what is even more interesting is that Wang Qingchang and Youqin Mo Yan came to visit, this is not a special trip to visit Wang Xiu, but at the invitation of Wang Xiu, what made Wang Xiu change his original intention?

"Brother Xiu'er, when the wind is calm, you don't let your sister come over, the thieves are approaching, you pull us three times a day, and your sister will be bullied by you as soon as she comes." Wang Qingchang kept laughing at Wang Xiu.

"Big sister." Youqin Mo Yan looked at Wang Qingyan with a flushed face. Can there be no flushing? It's been two days now! Fortunately, there is a light gauze covering the hat, so others can't see it clearly.

"Okay, I won't say anything, Li Guojian deserves to be the premier iron city, look at this momentum." Wang Qingjiao looked at the smelting furnaces in the distance, her eyes flickered, and those who were familiar with her understood at a glance and made up their minds again.

Lu Yao, who was following aside, blinked, and secretly said that the eldest sister of the Wang family is too wealthy, it seems that this investment should not be small, he is already a shopkeeper-level employee of Wang Ji Department Store, and he also belongs to the core and fringe figures, and he can participate in many decisions, and he has the spirit of a king.

Most of the iron yards are concentrated in the west and north of the city, which is to make full use of the water of the Qinghe River in the south to smelt iron.

Wang Xiu invited the eldest sister and his own lady to come, of course, not to understand the nostalgia, he was not idle in Liguojian, on the contrary, after more than a year of observation and planning, he felt that the great opportunity was just around the corner, and he should start planning for the future.

In a word, wealth and wealth are in danger, and if you want to fight, you will fight the time difference.

When he first came to Li Guojian, he was shocked by the large-scale iron smelting, although there is no vastness of electric furnace ironmaking in later generations, but as a national iron-smelting center, Li Guojian has rich copper and iron resources, iron ore is the best in the country, and some ores can even be directly made into steel, which is not apocryphal, but actually exists.

After thousands of years of precipitation and accumulation, Li Guojian has long been no longer 36 metallurgy, but to hundreds of metallurgies, with 20,000 or 30,000 employees, it is definitely an organized group of iron smelting, and even a more advanced joint standardized production has appeared. Whether it is Qizhou or Kaifeng's general as a prisoner, neither the scale nor the efficiency can be compared with Liguo, he after field investigations, slowly digested and absorbed, and gradually formed his own ideas.

Therefore, he chose to keep a low profile, deepen the relationship with the big families as much as possible, slowly lay out the layout, and then gradually integrate into it.

Well, adults also have selfish intentions, and they can't give up their small family if they take care of everyone, and the second reason for doing nothing is to complete the small family.

"Sister, what do you think of the rock candy market?"

Wang Qingjiao looked at Wang Xiu playfully through the light veil in front of the hat, and said with a smile: "I'm about to lose the prescription, it seems that Brother Xiu'er has a bad idea again." ”

Wang Xiu smiled and pouted: "The eldest sister is full of bad ideas." ”

"Brother, don't you want to." Especially Mo Yan sat on the saddle, and Qiu Yun led the horse steadily.

"Grain, salt and iron are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, no matter when, it cannot be bypassed, this is the long-term plan!" Wang Xiu grinned his teeth and smiled, sinisterly.
