(3rd Update)

Wan Yan Duo sent people to Liaodong in early June to contact the old department, and through the old department, he contacted the caravan under the command of Naiyan, the Mongolian sect king in Liaodong.

Now, more than a month has passed, and the messenger of his stepfather, Yan Duo, has finally returned.

"And the Father-in-law said, When you come back, you will go to him." Cui Xiuning said.

War horses!

Li Luo didn't even bother to take off his armor, so he and Cui Xiuning came to Yan Duo's courtyard in the north.

Yan Duo is now enjoying Qingfu, as if he is an old minister who lives in idleness, and is reading "Zizhi Tongjian".

"Father." Li Luo and Cui Xiuning sat down directly.

"Is the matter with the left battalion?" Yan Duo asked.

Li Luo nodded and smiled: "Everything goes well." In less than three months, we will have 900 meridian water makers, and it will be much more convenient to do things. ”

Yan Duo said: "It is indeed very convenient for my son to use the Li family background now. It's just that there is one more person in this Jianghua, so you must be careful. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Father is talking about the loss of the capital in Tali? ”

Yan Duo nodded, "That's the person." speculated for his father that he would definitely interfere in Jianghua's military affairs. You have to do it. ”

After Turnuma was ambushed by the two in the red pine forest, the position of Jianghua Daru Huachi was taken over by Tari Lostu, the former deputy envoy of the Suzheng and Lian Visits of the Western Sea Province.

Tarilose was a relatively decent and moderate Mongolian bureaucrat, and such a person was an unusual existence among the Mongolian aristocracy. However, the more such people are, the more difficult it is to deal with.

He doesn't have fatal character flaws like Turnuma. This man, shrewd and steady, gentle and cunning. Moreover, what he did was precisely not for himself, but for Dayuan.

Such a person, a bit like the famous minister Tokh at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, was more difficult to deal with than most of the greedy, cruel, and hateful Mongol nobles who hated Sinicization.

Cui Xiuning smiled: "Father, don't worry." The Daru Huachi Mansion in Tari, which has lost its capital, already has our undercover agent. If there is any movement in Taridu, we should know it. At the moment, we don't deserve his attention. ”

Yan Duo was relieved and began to talk about the war horse that Li Luo cared about the most.

"Naiyan's caravan steward has promised to trade war horses once a month, and the number of them will not exceed four hundred each time. In the case of a child's horse, five hundred horses can be traded per month. ”

Considering that the horses would be more useful in a few years, the father advocated buying both the horses and the horses. After deliberation, it was decided that there would be 200 horses and 200 horses per month. ”

Li Luo couldn't help but say: "It's really like a family with an old man, like a family with a treasure!" My father is really old and seeking a country. If they all buy horses, the horsepower will not be good in four or five years. And now we don't need so many horses. Half of them are the most clever when they buy horses. ”

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning really didn't expect this.

Yan Duo put down the "Zizhi Tongjian", "What is the price, sixty times for each adult horse, and forty times for each child horse." Eighteen per month, traded in Huludao. Not silver or brass, but iron and salt of equal price. ”

Li Luo smiled, "I just got 200,000 catties of iron on Han Gong's island, which can be used to exchange horses." ”

Yan Duo groaned, "Iron is also something you urgently need, and it must not be in short supply. You have to think about it, how much iron should you take for a horse? ”

Li Luo thought for a while, "Half of it is used to exchange horses, and half of it is used to make weapons ourselves." When there is no iron to change, we will exchange it with salt. ”

Yan Duo looked at Cui Xiuning when he heard this, "Xiuning, I heard that when you left Haidong, you opened a sea salt field, and now there is salt?" ”

Cui Xiuning said: "This daughter really doesn't know. It was the last thing I did when I left Haidong. I have left all the slips, and the stewards have also been selected. Counting the days, it should be salt now. ”

Li Luo asked, "How much salt do you estimate you can produce this year?" ”

Cui Xiuning calculated in his heart, "There should be more than a thousand stones." ”

Yan Duo nodded: "On August 18, the first batch of war horses will be traded." For the sake of the father's will, the immigrants also waited until those two days to set off, and the people and horses happened to be transported to Haidong together. ”

Li Luo smiled, "What my father said is very true, it should really be arranged like this." ”

He now has many Jurchen warriors to serve, and there is no shortage of cavalry, he only lacks horses.

Two hundred adult horses and two hundred children per month. Don't talk about it first, just a horse, at least before the expedition next year, he can form a team of 2,000 horses, which can be regarded as a slightly larger cavalry team.

…………

The detention of dozens of officers in the left camp by Li Luo in the name of greedy ink and empty salaries was like a violent whirlwind, causing a great uproar and rumors in the entire Jianghua Naval Division.

In the "Sea Control Military Administration", Hong Qian, who usually did not care about the military affairs and personnel in the battalion, also became uncharacteristically furious.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the temperance envoy, Hong Qian's roar came, "How can this be reasonable! How unreasonable is that! What does this Li Luo want to do! Dozens of officers, he said that he would be detained, and if he said that he would be dismissed, he would be dismissed, and Xiao'er An dared to do so! ”

Can Hong Qian not be angry? First, the officers of the left battalion are usually very filial to him, and second, the other three battalions, which battalion does not eat empty salaries? He is the one who eats the most empty wages.

Li Luo did this, even if he touched Hong Qian's taboo and rebellion, and also made Hong Qian's face bigger, no matter how mediocre he was, it was difficult to tolerate it.

"What a son of man!"

Hong Qian hated and scolded.

But scolding and scolding, what can he do to Li Luo?

Dismissal? No.

Scold? Nor can it.

It's just because Li Luo is standing behind Li Valve.

However, it does not mean that Hong Qian has no choice.

What's his solution...... I'm sorry, it's Ma Yuhou. There is only Ma Yuhou.

Thinking of Ma Yuhou's eyes looking at Li Luo, Hong Qian suddenly became happy. He thought about it, and suddenly he laughed "fluttering", and finally leaned forward and fell back with laughter.

One second he was still scolding with a blue face, and the next second he was smiling like a child. This scene suddenly startled the soldiers and subordinates in the big tent.

What is the situation? Aren't temperance adults mad? But...... It doesn't look like it, but it looks like it's really happy.

Hong Qian rubbed his stomach with a smile and ordered a pro-soldier, "Go... Go and ask Ma Yu to come... And I... And I... Procedure! Ha... Ha ha! ”

The soldiers looked strange, and secretly scolded their mother, so they went to ask Ma Yuhou.

What Hong Qian didn't know was that in the corner of the big tent, a staff member looked contemplative. He didn't even know that at this time, this staff member was paying attention to his every word and every move.

It didn't take long for Ma Yuhou, who had a high nose and deep eyes and curled hair, to walk into the big tent. Not only did he not salute Hong Qian, the chief official, but even put his hands behind his back.

Looking at his expression, those who don't know think that he is the owner of this luxurious tent.

"Is there anything important about you, my temperance envoy?" Ma Yuhou said lightly, "Let me guess." Well, I see, you're because of that ignorant Li Luo, right? ”

Hong Qian had long been accustomed to this tone of color, and he smiled unsurprisingly: "Ma Yuhou is really like a god, it is for this ignorant Li Luo." ”

Ma Yuhou also smiled, "I think he's very interesting." ”
