The new currency was the first to circulate in Daijun, and behind him was the credit endorsement of Daijun Xingjun's Mansion.

In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, the exquisite new coins replace the black and inconvenient cloth coins, and the merchant family welcomes them with both hands. And the exchange of old currency is even more enthusiastic, they think they have earned. Zhao Xing re-melted the bronze coin, and after obtaining pure copper, he exchanged two additional cents of tin, the most precious metal, for four parts of lead, and earned two cents of money interest on this out.

And this thing is a good thing to gild the metal, so that his warriors can wear silver shining armor, and no longer have to worry about the rust of the iron armor, and no longer worry about the rust of the blade.

In this way, cheap iron was used to replace expensive bronze armor, and then it was melted into utensils or money. Falling down like this, it made Zhao Xing feel ashamed.

After having a large amount of money in his hand, Zhao Xing decided to train a cavalry of 20,000 again.

Of the 20,000 cavalry last time, 2,000 were killed in battle, 10,000 were handed over to Zhao Hao to guard the four customs clearances, and 3,000 were given to Qin Mo and became the team of an army formed by Qin Mo. Now there are only 5,000 left in Daijun, which is not possible in the case of enemies on three sides. And the most important thing is that Lin Hu has already been in chaos as expected, and he needs to be ready at all times, ready to send troops to intervene at the right time, or directly destroy Lin Hu.

"How about the results of this battle?" Zhao Xing asked Qi Fei.

Qi Fei said with a smile: "If you can't eat, you won't die of hunger." In terms of losses, the three are about the same. But in Zhongshan, he suffered a defeat, if it wasn't for Wei to rescue the army with a doctor, Lou Fu would have been a big defeat. ”

"It seems that Bai Di's descendants are still wolves, which has made my good Anda suffer, but no problem, I will avenge him for this revenge when the time comes."

"The current Zhongshan is in its heyday, and the current Zhongshan Wangcuo has inherited the foundation of the two generations of hard-working kings, and is more conscientious and conscientious, and the strength cannot be underestimated." Wei cautiously reported the strength of his future opponents.

Zhao Xing was speechless, he didn't expect that his future enemy would be so powerful, it was not easy to deal with, it was not easy to handle.

"But if it's not easy to do, it has to be done, and we must eliminate this big problem inserted into Zhao Guo's heart. We must always be ready for this goal, ready and ready. ”

"Oh, Lord."

"Is there a Zhongshan captive that Loudi sold to us this time?"

"Yes, but not much, only about 20,000, we left 3,000 ourselves, and the rest was sold. Right now, slaves are in high demand with us. ”

"Take me to see, I want to understand Zhongshan's national strength in detail, and try to know myself and the other as much as possible."

According to the regulations, the slaves purchased by their own families should be sent to ore for digging iron ore or coal mines in the first year, which is called sharpening. Then, in the second year, those who returned to their hearts were selected and transferred to work in brick and tile factories or iron factories, so as to cultivate their discipline and improve their salaries. Three years later, according to the agreement, they were released, and they were given land, and they became commoners of Daijun, or they continued to work in their own factories and became workers.

If you are still stubborn after such three choices, you can only be a miner forever, or kill them directly. The current Daijun definitely does not allow hidden dangers to exist. It doesn't matter if it's a slave or a family.

First of all, I inspected the mine, and the management of the mine is good. Because there is an opportunity to improve, the slaves are also very active in their work, and they all want to get out of this world of suffering and darkness as soon as possible, so they are highly motivated.

But after asking a few slaves from Zhongshan, he didn't know the point.

When he came to the brick factory, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel as if he was attracted by something in the dark, and his eyes looked at one big and one small.

Because the eldest one was about twenty years old, and the younger one was only five or six years old, and he was no different from the other slaves.

But just this old and young, it gives people an inexplicable and wonderful sense of attention. It's so different that you can't help but have to take a few more looks.

Zhao Xing involuntarily walked in front of the young man: "What's your name?" ”

The young man put down the workstation in his hand and got up, looked at Zhao Xing's aristocratic attire, and then pulled up the child beside him.

The child was only five years old, but he didn't hide timidly when he saw this group of people like other children, but boldly looked at Zhao Xing and the others, and when this young man pulled him to meet him, he also knelt down and bowed down like a decent.

The young man said, "May I ask how the villain should call His Excellency?" ”

Zhao Xing said with interest: "I am Tang Hou." ”

The young man immediately prostrated again according to the etiquette of the Marquis.

"Do you still know how to be a week? It's hard to come by. ”

"Xiaomin is the descendant of Le Yang, Le Yi. The family fell in the middle of the road, shepherding sheep for Bai Di, and this time he was captured by Lou Nuren and sold to the door of the Hou Ye as a slave. ”

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up: "Talent is talent, and it is eye-catching wherever it is placed." A well-educated person is educated, and the origin of family learning can be seen at any time. Le Yi, if you are willing to join my army, I will immediately dismiss your slave status and restore your name as a scholar. ”

Hearing such good news, Le Yi did not rejoice in the envious eyes of his fellow slaves around him. Wei Yong reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "A slave, having such an opportunity is not grateful, but here pretending to be proud and arrogant, why are you?" ”

Le Yi replied lightly: "Hou Ye is just a subordinate of a monarch, which is equal to a retainer, I will be a soldier of a retainer of a monarch, what can I be grateful for?" Then he said proudly: "If the king is arrogant, he will lose the country, and if the king is arrogant, he will lose his fief, and if a lowly person like me is arrogant, what will I lose?" When the three years are over, I put on my shoes and leave, where can I not get poverty? ”

"Philosophical." Zhao Xing really admired Le Yi, and stepped forward to give a deep salute: "If I treat Mr. as a national scholar, is Mr. willing to stay and stay under a monarch?" ”

Le Yi was stunned, he really didn't expect that this real marquis of the Zhou Dynasty would treat himself with such courtesy, in front of his subordinates, in front of thousands of slaves, so polite and virtuous, and so straightforward, how could he not be moved?

returned the salute at the moment: "Lord Hou treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay it with the loyalty of a national soldier." ”

Zhao Xing was overjoyed, and grabbed Le Yidao's hand: "Come on, hurry up and go back to the house with me for a banquet." ”

Le Yi broke free from his hand and pleaded again: "I have a younger brother who I met when we were captured together this time, please let the master release his slave status and let him follow me all the time." ”

The little official in charge of this place hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Sir, when we bought him, he asked to bring the child. I saw that he was extraordinary, and I was reluctant to abandon it, so I agreed to him and paid the price of five sheepskins. Then the gentleman took the child wherever he went, but fortunately the child was obedient, and he continued to do so, and asked the Lord to forgive his subordinates for spending money and food. ”

Zhao Xing smiled and said generously: "It is our heart to cherish the old and pity the poor, what is wrong." Then he crouched down and asked the child, "Where are you from and what is your name?" ”

This child is like a decent Shi Li: "Zhongshan is a person in the bitter realm, surnamed Ji, Lian, and famous." If Le Yi is delayed because of me, I will please go by myself. ”

Zhao Xing sat on the ground with a buttocks. Looking at this little kid again, he always looks like a white-haired and mighty old man, which makes Zhao Xing feel extremely unreal and awkward.

Unexpectedly, from the late Warring States period to the eight famous generals, today let themselves eat all the sizes.

At that time, he said to the little official who was sincerely afraid of supporting him: "Five sheepskins, hehe, it's a good deal, I will reward you with five hundred sheepskins." ”

This little official really didn't know the reason for the pie in the sky, so he hurriedly excused himself. Zhao Xing said seriously: "There is no need to refuse, you will know how cost-effective our business is in the future." ”

It's a real bargain.
