After leaving Nanying, Li Yan went back to train as usual, anyway, the study of the halberd method is not in a hurry, he just needs to brush up enough experience at night, and then go to Cheng Yanjin to learn during the day, and now training is the top priority.

The training in the morning went very smoothly, but at noon, Li Yan saw Zhang Dazhu with a sad face.

"Boss, according to the standard of three meals you set for the elite battalion, we don't have enough meat, and now it's about to be winter, and the team responsible for going out hunting has less and less harvest, and we don't have much salt."

Zhang Dazhu's face was full of sadness, obviously heartbroken after being appointed by Li Yan to be in charge of logistics.

"Meat, salt, ......"

Speaking of this, Li Yan finally remembered what he had forgotten!

Before Hou Junji left Fengzhou, the meat he needed for military training was all arranged by Hou Junji.

Hou Junji relied on his prestige to obtain a lot of resources from the hands of the guards of several nearby cities.

But after all, people still have to take care of their own territory, and it is impossible to provide for Fengzhou indefinitely, not to mention that Hou Junji has returned to Chang'an, Li Yan can't continue to lick his face and run for help.

"Salt is not a problem for the time being, General Hou discussed with the military department before leaving, there must be no shortage of salt in training, and there will be a supply every month after that, which is this meat ......"

Li Yan had a headache, this meat is indeed a big problem, and the training of soldiers cannot always rely on a meal of coarse grains to practice, and the forced training of troops without meat will be wasted.

"For the time being, reduce the intensity of training by half, let me think of a way."

Li Yan can't solve this problem for a while, the winter is falling, and the number of wild animals is reduced and it is difficult to hunt This is an objective situation, and now not only Fengzhou, but all nearby cities are reducing the amount of meat obtained through daily hunting.

If you want to solve this problem, unless Li Yan can start a breeding industry in Fengzhou, this is completely unsolvable.

"Carnivorous...... Wild Sheep...... Sheep? Grassland? Turkic? Nomadic? ”

Li Yan was thinking alone in the general camp, he combined the experience of his fellow travelers, sorted out his thoughts, and finally really thought of a plausible method.

As we all know, most of the grassland peoples have a combination of herding and farming, of which animal husbandry accounts for a larger proportion.

Although winter is approaching now, there is a shortage of animals everywhere, but only the grassland people will not be lacking.

If Li Yan wants to get meat, he must set his sights on the northern grasslands!

"Take someone to rob it? No, not to mention the risk, it is easy to be used by the group of people in the court to talk about things, and when the time comes, if there is a war in the future, Fengzhou will take the blame......"

Li Yan's first thought was to bring people to rob, anyway, the Turks usually plundered on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and it was reasonable for the hostile sides to plunder each other's resources.

But considering that the overall vitality of the Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered, it is not suitable to start a war with the Turks, and the group of officials in the court are not vegetarians, Li Yan directly gave up this idea.

Obviously, Li Yan didn't know that Li Shimin, who had suffered from the impeachment of the speech officials in the court all day, had found a reason to temporarily send Wei Zheng, the head of the speech officials, to Shanzhou, and the current sense of existence of the court speech officials had been reduced to a minimum.

"That's all it takes, trade war? Will it be a little damaged? ”

Li Yan thought of what he had learned in history class when he was in school, looking at ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, trade wars are always bloodless and effective.

According to Li Yan's conception, he could completely use the asymmetry of the value of goods between the Tang Dynasty and the steppe tribes to obtain sufficient materials at the lowest cost, and even weaken the combat effectiveness of the Turks in a certain sense.

"Zhang Dazhu! Come with me to the Toyoshu Thorn Mansion! ”

After Li Yan figured out the solution, he directly called Zhang Dazhu and went straight to the Fengzhou Thorn Mansion.

Now if Li Yan wants to implement this plan, he must also cooperate with the history of the Fengzhou Thorn, after all, trade is a commercial activity, and it is not Li Yan's turn to take care of the future, and the relevant matters have to be passed from the current Fengzhou Thorn History.

Soon, Li Yan took Zhang Dazhu to the Assassin's Mansion.

This place is very in line with the situation of Fengzhou, it is very shabby, and even the plaque of the three words of the Thorn History Mansion is a little too old.

The Assassin's Mansion is guarded by more than a dozen government soldiers, and these people are not under the management of Li Yan, and they are regarded as the private soldiers of the Assassin's Mansion.

"General Lee."

The soldiers guarding the door obviously knew Li Yan, and said hello as soon as Li Yan arrived at the door.

"Help me report, I want to see Wang Tingshi."

Li Yan had already inquired clearly before he came, and now the name of Fengzhou Thorn Shi is Wang Yu, I heard that this person is from the Taiyuan Wang family, but it doesn't seem to be from the branch.

"Yes, General Lee."

The soldiers guarding the gate know very well that in a military important place like Fengzhou, the function of assassination has long been infinitely weakened, and the person who can really control Fengzhou has actually been the main general who controls the military power.

The guards quickly completed the report, and when they returned to the door, they informed Li Yan that Wang Yu was already waiting in the hall.

Li Yan left Zhang Dazhu outside and entered the Assassin's Mansion alone to meet Wang Yu.

"I don't know what is the important matter for General Li to come to my assassination mansion today?"

Wang Yu's attitude is not bad, he is a middle-aged man in his forties, he knows very well that his official career will come to an end when he reaches a city assassin history, at most he will wait for the expiration of his term of office and then transfer to another city to continue to serve.

"Wang Tingshi, today Li has brought you a feat, I don't know if you have the courage to take it!"

Li Yan went straight to the point, and was about to pull Wang Yu into the water as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Yan knew very well that it was difficult for a branch of the Taiyuan Wang clan like Wang Yu to obtain the political resources of the main family, and if he wanted to go further in his career, he could only speak on merit.

But in a border important place like Fengzhou, Wang Yu's assassination history is basically dispensable, and he deals with some civil disputes at most on weekdays, and basically has no possibility of obtaining merit.

"General Li don't want to laugh, Wang knows that his ability is insufficient, how dare he seek merit in a place like Fengzhou."

Wang Yu shook his head, not taking Li Yan's words to heart at all.

Wang Yu has long been accustomed to it, as the assassin of Fengzhou, he first met Hou Junji, a guard with extraordinary background and good ability, and he was basically in a state of being overhead.

Now that he finally survived until Hou Junji left, he met such a Li Yan who went deep into the emperor's heart, and even stayed in the city for a Cheng biting gold, he had long been unwilling to do anything in Fengzhou.

"Ben will vouch for his personality, this merit is a great merit that is capable of frustrating the Turks, and even gives you the hope of being promoted to the third level and directly entering Chang'an!"

Seeing this, Li Yan had no choice but to continue to make it clear that he wanted to draw a cake for Wang Yu and draw a giant cake that would allow him to ignore the risks of this matter.

"Then Wang would like to hear about it."

Wang Yu's expression was a little moved, and he wanted to hear what Li Yan had to say.
