Chapter 229: Recruitment

Guo Chongtao looked at Liu Feng in front of him, this young envoy who had not yet reached the crown had a calmness beyond ordinary people, if he hadn't followed Liu Feng for more than a year, he couldn't imagine how Liu Feng had put the huge Fanyang Mansion in order.

"What is the envoy going to do next?" Guo Chongtao asked softly,

Liu Feng woke up from the silence and said with a smile: "Haven't you already thought about it!" ”

When Guo Chong heard this, he smiled, shook his head and said: "Don't play with your subordinates, I think the envoy has already had a case, can you solve the confusion of his subordinates?" ”

Seeing Guo Chongtao bow down and listen like this, Liu Feng pondered for a moment before saying: "Any strategy is based on absolute strength, if it can be achieved by conspiracy alone, how can the forces in this world be like this!" Wei Renpu set such a trap for a certain person, which was not only a last resort, but also a follow-up trend! ”

"However, all this is not based on the absolute power of the Hedong Army! But Fanyang Mansion is not the time to be kneaded by others, since the Hedong Army did not attack from Yijin Pass, it left us a way to live, and now as long as a certain person does not seek death, I think that General Guo will still not take a certain knife! ”

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he was in awe, even though Liu Feng was designed by Wei Renpu, but in retrospect, he saw this game more clearly.

"Jun envoy, there are 100,000 elite soldiers in Fanyang Mansion, and there are foreign aid such as the Pinglu Army and the Zhaoyi Army, if there is the support of the descendants of the Han Emperor, it can also compete with the Hedong Army, but! In this way, it is contrary to the original intention of the king's envoy! Guo Chongtao said tentatively,

"Only those 100,000 elite soldiers are real, as for the Pinglu Army and the Zhaoyi Army, they are all false, if one day, the Fan Yang Army and the Hedong Army face off on the battlefield, it would be good for them to wave their flags and shout!" Liu Feng shook his head and said,

"Oh!? Is the envoy with Liu Jingwu and Meng Fang? Guo Chongtao was a little surprised,

"Nope! No! It's not a hypocrisy! Liu Feng laughed, "At this moment, there are two of them, waving the flag and shouting for Fanyang Mansion, which can be regarded as raising some momentum for Fanyang Mansion!" ”

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he pondered for a moment before he said: "Envoy, don't treat such an alliance as a child's play, after all, this is the second alliance of Fanyang Mansion, if it is treacherous, it will not be good for Fanyang Mansion in the future!" ”

"Haha! It's still thoughtful, but I've never thought of treachery, but it depends on how our two allies act! After a pause, Liu Feng continued, "As you said, Fanyang Mansion is now tightly surrounded by the Hedong Army and the Forbidden Army, although there is a road to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but if the Hedong Army stops it, it will also rely on these two allies!" ”

"You warned me! Although they can't help Fanyang Mansion in terms of military strength, the two million people in the six counties of Pinglu in Qingzhou are what Fanyang Mansion needs most! And if one day you turn your face with the Hedong Army, you have to borrow the road! ”

Listening to Liu Feng's analysis, Guo Chongtao also nodded in agreement, but said again: "Envoy, forgive me for being blunt, Fanyang Mansion is developing too fast now, and the pace is too fast, whether it is in the army or in the people, it is a little unstable!" If you continue like this, there will be no problems! ”

Hearing Guo Chongtao's direct advice, a solemn look appeared on Liu Feng's face, this is something he has been said by several people, and the internal affairs of Fanyang Mansion are unstable.

"Dragon City can't stay for a long time, only if the royal envoy sits in Yucheng, Fanyang Mansion will not have much change, after this incident, we must quickly return to Yucheng!" Guo Chongtao looked at Liu Feng with a heavy face, and immediately admonished,

When Liu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be moved: "You mean, there will be some chaos in Fanyang Mansion?" ”

"If you don't die if you fight a snake, you will be counterattacked, Bao and Yi Erzhou, but there are many Wu Forts and families left behind, these are all perennial dealings with all the ethnic groups on the grassland, and they may not necessarily recognize Fan Yangfu's actions!" Guo Chongtao said slowly, he was born in Yanmen County, and he has a deep understanding of the Wubao and the family near these border passes, and these people are not so easy to surrender.

"What's going to happen?" Liu Feng groaned for a moment, and the color of the ground changed slightly, "Warrior Battalion!" Bauhinia Pass! ”

Then he shook his head and said: "A certain view that Li Tianfeng is not a short-sighted person, so he will not act like this~!" ”

Guo Chongtao also agreed: "Even if Captain Li has not returned to his heart, he doesn't dare to have any thoughts, but those Wu Bao have seen the methods of my Fanyang Mansion army, I am afraid that they will add some trouble, and Zijing Pass should be safe, but in the distribution of fields, etc., I am afraid that there has been a problem!" ”

When Liu Feng heard this, he sat down heavily, and his fingers knocked on the desk urgently, the field and the pass are the two basic points of stability in the seven counties of Fanyang, with the field, the villagers in the north will not go south to flee the famine, and with the pass, the villagers in the north will not be robbed repeatedly! And now someone is going to destroy his base!

"What should I do now?" Liu Feng asked in a deep voice,

Guo Chongtao shook his head and said: "The whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and the envoy must be in Yucheng!" ”

Liu Feng's fingers knocking on the desk stopped categorically, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it just the case in Bao and Yi Prefectures, or is it the same in all seven counties?" ”

"At present, it's just that Bao and Yi are a little chaotic! No such problem has been found in other counties! ”

"Grasshoppers after autumn, let them jump for a few days!" Liu Feng sneered, "After a certain person returns to Yucheng, all the accounts will be calculated together!" ”

After this matter came to an end, Liu Feng's thinking was also a little open, and he turned his head to Liu Yanbo, who had been silent, and asked, "How is the craftsman's business?" ”

In this era, the factors that limit productivity are mostly related to the quantity and quality of craftsmen, Liu Feng wants to create Fanyang Mansion products, this signboard, it is inseparable from a team of high-end craftsmen.

Liu Yanbo saw that Liu Feng and Guo Chongtao had been talking for an hour, but he suddenly turned the topic to him, and he was a little caught off guard, but after reacting, he couldn't help but say bitterly: "The progress is not very smooth, the craftsmen who have some kung fu in their hands are controlled in the official camp, and the rest of the craftsmen either have their own shops, or their skills are poor!" ”

Such an answer made Liu Feng frown, the Khitan went south, so that he could not care about the specific matters of Fanyang Mansion for a few months, and just after the end of the war, he had to come to Longcheng and perform a circle, but he didn't know that the rapid development of Fanyang Mansion has slowed down!

Without enough craftsmen, he would not be able to realize his vision of Fanyang Mansion, let alone confront each other in the Khitan, Hedong Army and other military towns with the seven counties of Fanyang.

But this is the case, Liu Feng can't complain about his brother, and what Liu Yanbo said is also true, while Fanyang Mansion attaches importance to craftsmen, Hedong Army has also improved the treatment of craftsmen, so it is really difficult to find craftsmen in the north.

"There are a lot of craftsmen in this dragon city, right!?" Liu Feng asked suddenly,

Liu Yanbo nodded, "It's true that there are a lot of craftsmen in Dragon City, but they don't want to settle down in Yucheng, they live a stable life in Dragon City, and they don't want to move!" ”

"They didn't want to move, so they thought of a way to make them willing to voluntarily leave and go to Yucheng!" Liu Feng said fiercely,

"Uh......"

Liu Feng's gritted teeth scared Liu Yanbo and Guo Chongtao a little!

Seeing this, Guo Chongtao rolled his eyes, and hurriedly arched his hand: "My subordinates have an idea, maybe I can earn some craftsmen to return to Yucheng!" ”

"Earn some artisans?" Liu Feng was confused, although in his eyes now, craftsmen are just a feeling of quantity, but they are also living people, but in Guo Chongtao's mouth, they are more like traded items.

"Haven't we Fanyang Mansion been doing armor business with the Hedong Army, so what about asking for some craftsmen on this condition, although for the Hedong Army, it is a little dry and fishing, but if you want to come to the Hedong Army, the wealthy Hedong Army will not be so careless about some craftsmen!"

"A little is not a problem, but if it is more than a hundred or thousand, I am afraid it will be difficult!" Liu Feng was full of doubts and said, if he just recruited a few craftsmen, he would just ask Guo Wei directly, but if the craftsmen of the Hedong Army were evacuated, this was the rhythm of the foundation of the Hedong Army, how could Guo Wei agree.

"Count people at once, add up to a lot!" Guo Chongtao said lightly, "Furthermore, how can the treatment of craftsmen in my Fanyang Mansion be comparable to that of the Hedong Army, when the entire Hedong Army and even the North Land know the treatment of craftsmen in my Fanyang Mansion, Yucheng and Wu'an in Fanyang Mansion are the holy places of craftsmen, are you afraid that craftsmen will not flock here?" ”

"And we can openly recruit craftsmen and people with skills in Yucheng, Longcheng, Lin'an, etc., buy horse bones with thousands of gold, and under the heavy reward, the gimmick is full, as long as the merchants from the south, north and south spread the news that my Fanyang Mansion will reward and recruit craftsmen, then Yucheng and Wu'an are afraid that the craftsmen will be overcrowded!"

Guo Chongtao's eloquent talk stopped Liu Feng, isn't this just advertising?

Liu Yanbo heard this, but his eyes lit up, Liu Feng has given this task to their internal guards for a long time, but with little effect, which has made him feel a little pressure in his heart, what Guo Chongtao said just now opened a door for him.

Looking at his brother and looking at himself with hope, Liu Feng knew that this brother was afraid, and he would hand over this task to Guo Chongtao, so he smiled and said: "Since Guo joined the army and gave you an idea, I have not thanked Guo for joining the army, how to implement it, go down and ask Guo for more advice!" ”

When the two heard this, they greeted each other humbly, but they couldn't wait to arrange their actions.

Liu Feng saw that it was getting late, so he also asked the two to retreat to prepare, but seeing that the two of them were full of excitement, Liu Feng felt that maybe in a few days, Fanyang Mansion would be pushed to the mouth of the wind and waves!

At this time, no matter how much fanfare Fan Yang Mansion acts, it seems that he has fallen into the trap of some people again!
