"Guanzi Seven Laws" believes: "Therefore, if a soldier has a great theory, he must first discuss his weapon." ”

In war, weapons are of vital importance, and complete and advanced weapons are the prerequisite for victory in war.

Therefore, "judging the instrument and knowing the victory", that is, before the war starts, by observing the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons and equipment of both the enemy and us, we can basically determine the victory or defeat of the war.

A large part of the preparation for war is to prepare weapons, and if we are superior to the enemy in terms of weaponry and equipment, that is, we are "invincible," we will undoubtedly have the upper hand, grasp the initiative, and be more sure of victory.

It can be seen that the pipe attaches great importance to the weapon factor in the war.

Although Li Yan didn't know that Guan Zi had made these remarks, as a modern person, especially a modern soldier, Li Yan naturally knew the importance of weapons, so Li Yan has been committed to weapon research and development over the years, and Liu Huiniang is undoubtedly the woman behind Li Yan who has been silently supporting Li Yan.

It is precisely because of Li Yan's emphasis on weapons and Liu Huiniang's overwhelming talent that Liangshan Army has a flying bridge, a steel wheel fire cabinet, and the ability to easily conquer Jiancheng, which is the accumulation of several years.

Gaotang City is just a small city, and it is impossible for Li Yan to put too much experience on it, because there are too many things that Li Yan needs to do, such as developing more advanced weapons, making more money, and getting more food.

Advanced weapons are the key to the outcome of a war, but they are by no means the only factor that leads to victory.

The triumph of violence is based on the production of weapons, which in turn is based on the productive forces of the forces as a whole, and therefore economic power is equally important.

"The country is poor and the army is weak, the war is invincible, and the code is not solid."

"Therefore, all the tactics of using soldiers, three surprises should be one to, three to, three armies, and three armies should be a battle."

"Therefore, the division of the first phase, the accumulation of ammunition for ten years, the expenses of the First World War, and the achievements of the generations."

In terms of materials, war costs a lot of money, and if the country is weak and the people are poor, it will be difficult to sustain the war.

Therefore, in order to defeat the enemy, it is first necessary to surpass the enemy in material wealth...... It is to rule the world with desire, and wealth does not cover the world, and cannot rule the world."

In addition, if you want to rule the world, you must "have a rich country and a lot of corn", "all the people, strong soldiers, vast land, and rich country will be born in Su", "the land is guarded in the city, the city is guarded by the soldiers, the soldiers are guarded by the people, and the people are guarded in the corn", only if the food is sufficient, the army can defend and fight, "if there is accumulation, it will fight for a long time without rats" is this meaning, on the contrary, if the army is not enough food, "the soldiers are weak and the soldiers are not strong, then the war is invincible and the defense is not solid; If the war is not won and the defense is not solid, the country will not be able to break down." The role of grain in war is very important, and in order to outperform the enemy in material wealth, the most fundamental thing is to strengthen agricultural production.

has developed to the extent that Li Yan is now, it is no longer possible to rely on robbery alone, and he must produce it himself.

The bamboo tube rice that Li Yan took from Zhao Ji's desk back then, after trial planting, Li Yan had already learned that it was Zhancheng rice.

Champa rice is a high-yielding, early-maturing, drought-tolerant rice variety produced in the Indochina Peninsula, which has been introduced to the Song Kingdom for some years and quickly spread in the Jiangnan region.

It has several features:

One is drought tolerance.

Second, it is adaptable and born regardless of location.

Third, the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting.

Fourth, Champa rice can be combined with late rice, and in some areas, it can also become double-cropping rice, which has greatly increased the grain output.

In addition, the Champa rice that Li Yan took from Zhao Ji's desk is still a little different from ordinary Champa rice, his growth period is shorter, and the yield is higher, it should be a mutated Champa rice.

After several years of trial cultivation in several villages around Liangshan, this Champa rice has become large-scale, enough to be planted on a large scale in Li Yan's territory.

(This Champong rice cannot be grown on Jeju Island, which is only suitable for growing wheat.) ）

Of course, it will take time to prove whether this Champa rice can be cultivated on a large scale in Lelang and Zhenfan counties.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Yan agreed to Zhao'an and did not want to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty for the time being.

As for the development of the economy, it naturally depends on trade, which is also one of the reasons why Li Yan accepted the recruitment of the Great Song Dynasty, because only by accepting the recruitment of the Great Song Dynasty can he trade with the Great Song Dynasty and obtain a lot of wealth from the Great Song Dynasty.

In response to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, Li Yan and Liu Huiniang and others specially developed two things - glass and soap.

Because in the past, Li Yan was very familiar with the production methods of these two kinds of wealth and treasure that traversers must master.

In addition, Li Yan also has Liu Huiniang, a research talent and tens of thousands of craftsmen, and these two samples that are not difficult to produce on a large scale will soon be mass-produced.

Regarding the price of these two things, Li Yan gave an indication - expensive.

A square piece of colorless glass is at least 3,500 per window.

A piece of glassware is at least 10,000 yuan.

A small box of soap is 500 square inches.

Don't be too expensive.

You have to study the psychology of the shopper.

Those who can afford glass and soap will never be poor, they will never be poor, and if you sell them cheaply, then there will be no suitable consumer group.

Li Jun, Hu Cheng, Su Changguan, Wang Zezhen, including Lü Fang and Guo Sheng, and Li Yan's merchants all went out to seize the greatest wealth from the Great Song Dynasty in the shortest possible time.

In addition to selling, Li Yan is also buying, buying grain, buying horses, buying iron, buying all war supplies, all at a high price, or even at double the price - it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to let Li Yan buy all the time, sooner or later a relevant ban will be introduced, before that, Li Yan can buy as much as he can.

Although Li Yan doesn't need to do these things personally, Li Yan has to make up his mind about everything, at least finalize it himself.

In short, Li Yan has many, many things.

Therefore, after only staying in Gaotang City for three days, Li Yan returned to Liangshanbo with Chai Jin, who was already able to move, and left the rest to Lehe to deal with.

As for Chai Jin's huge family property, Li Yan and Chai Jin shirked it for a long time, and finally accepted ninety percent.

Chai Jin insisted on giving his family property to Li Yan for a reason:

First, it was because he was sincerely grateful to Li Yan for saving his life, if it weren't for Li Yan, he would be dead and lifeless, and it would be useless how much money he had.

Second, because Chai Jin also knows that his identity has changed, and he is no longer the Chai official who has a Danshu iron coupon that no one has to be afraid of, and if he wants to live a stable life in the future, he must find a new backer, and that new backer is Li Yan.

Third, Chai Jin, who has become a wanted criminal, has no place to put his huge family property, rather than being exposed and being remembered, it is better to give Li Yan a big favor.
