The relocation of the tribe finally began at the urging of Baili Xuan. Watching the people in the tribe driving carriages, driving herds of cattle and sheep, and slowly migrating on the grassland, Bai Lijian was also very helpless in his heart. At this speed, I don't know when I will be able to reach the foot of Helan Mountain.

Baili Jian didn't have the patience to move forward slowly with the large army, and under the pretext of going to the front to explore the way, he took the lead with the cavalry. Without the protection of the cavalry, the tribe's migration team unconsciously accelerated its speed of progress.

It takes a lot of time for the tribe to migrate, and Bai Lijian doesn't have the spare time to follow them slowly, so he wants to go back and have a good discussion with Liu Jing to see the possibility of expanding the cavalry.

It's not easy to maintain a cavalry team. On the grassland, it is not difficult to find hundreds of people who can ride horses, and it is easy to find horses, even high-quality war horses can be obtained. The difficulty was how to train them into real cavalry and how much it would cost to maintain them.

To maintain a cavalry, you must not only have people and horses, but also equipment. With the current amount of equipment reserves in the cottage, it is not enough to support the expansion of the cavalry team. However, there is also a solution to this, whether it is to grab or find someone to cast, it is a feasible way.

In addition to equipment, there must be enough supplies. To maintain the normal operation of the cavalry, the people must eat well, and the horses must have enough fat. Horses on the grassland eat grass and grow fat slowly, and they have to supplement some grains, preferably beans. With the current conditions of the cottage, we can only rely on the continuous replacement of war horses to temporarily maintain the current number.

For the construction of cavalry, Liu Jing has the most right to speak. After some discussion, Bai Lijian realized that he was in too much of a hurry this time. The construction of the cavalry can not be solved overnight, and the current scale can be maintained because of the previous horse bandits and the later Suheluo's cavalry as the foundation, once the expansion is in a hurry, not only can not achieve the desired effect in a short time, but also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the team.

Compared with the difficulty of building a cavalry team, the number of another team in the cottage is expanding dramatically, that is, the sentry team.

Since Li Lingfeng was promoted to patrol captain, the affairs of the sentry team have been handed over to Qiu He. Qiu He played a huge role in the battle against Liu Lijian, and was appreciated by Bai Lijian, who promoted him to the captain of the sentinel team, specializing in the intelligence work of the cottage, and its main targets were several nearby cities.

Ever since Tianluo Village became dominant in Helan Mountain, Bailijian turned his attention to the surrounding cities. If the cottage wants to develop, it is not enough to rely on a Helan Mountain, many material shortages must rely on the city to obtain, and many excess materials in the cottage also need to be digested by the city. Therefore, trade with surrounding cities is also on the agenda, but now there is a lack of a suitable opportunity to participate in the city's trade.

Since the accession of Emperor Shi Le of Zhao, there has been a rare period of calm in the north, and although the current Emperor Shi Hu is a tyrant, a unified state has brought prosperity to commerce, and commercial activities in various cities are active. If you can trade directly with the city, you can definitely make a lot of money with the quality of the green salt produced in the cottage.

Although Bai Lijian is very confident in his own wisdom, he never thinks that he is the only one who is smart in this world. No, there has been no substantial progress on Qiu He's side, but there is news from Mao Qing's side first.

Mao Qing was assigned to manage the materials and was responsible for the entry and exit of the entire cottage materials and the verification of the work points, so he was still sensitive to numbers. Although he is not directly responsible for the sales of green salt, he has always been involved, and it is precisely because of his sensitivity to numbers that he has discovered the problem.

The thing is actually very simple, that is, there is a cottage called Sifang Village recently that frequently buys green salt. Although Bailijian had regulations on the share of each cottage for sale before, this Sifang Village has always taken the initiative to buy at a higher price, and every time it is to give money first and then take the goods, which is naturally welcome. And the number of Sifangzhai purchases each time is not large, if you don't check carefully, you won't find the problem.

Mao Qing is also a caring person, and after being promoted by Bailijian, he really wanted to do something for the cottage. After he found out about the situation, he didn't report it immediately, but told Qiu He, who was in charge of intelligence. Qiu He is also a careful person, and immediately went to investigate after learning the news, only to find out that behind this Sifang Village, there was another force involved.

The one who participated in Sifang Village was not a cottage in Helan Mountain, but a businessman. This merchant is a local wealthy merchant from Anding County, and he is quite influential in Anding City. Because the people of Sifang Village were greedy for profits, they took the green salt of Tianwolf Village to the city to exchange for inferior salt, which attracted the attention of this businessman. Later, the two parties hooked up, so the businessman came up with such an idea for Sifangzhai, preparing to obtain a large amount of green salt for profit.

Bai Lijian, who learned the news, immediately called a meeting of personnel. Bailijian keenly feels that this may be a major opportunity.

"I called everyone here this time to discuss with you about the purchase of green salt by Sifangzhai many times. I don't know what everyone thinks, you can speak freely today, and you don't have to have any scruples. ”

Bai Lijian looked around, Liu Jing, Bai Lixuan, Du Xi, Helanda, Du Zhong, Han Yu and Mao Qing and others sitting around were already the strongest elite team in the cottage, and the ideas of these people represented the lower limit of the future development of the cottage. It is impossible for Bailijian to do everything by himself, and the ability of these people remains to be seen.

Liu Jing, Bai Lixuan, and Du Xi were all calm people, and they didn't speak immediately. Mao Qing is the lowest status in this, but because this is the first thing he discovered, he has the most right to speak.

"Childe, I think this kind of thing must be stopped, otherwise other cottages will follow their example, and our losses will be very large."

Bai Lijian nodded and did not speak. Mao Qing's brain is alive, but his vision is too narrow, and he can only see a little profit in front of him. Of course, this can't be blamed on him, with his knowledge and vision, he can only see so far for the time being.

"Childe, the people of Sifang Village are acting according to the rules we set, not only did they not lose our money, but they were all paid in advance, if they were attacked because of this, I am afraid it would damage the voice of the people in the cottage, and it would be bad for us." Han Yu is relatively upright and does not approve of Mao Qing's proposal.

"Childe, I think it's a good thing!" Du Zhong said suddenly.
