Regarding the words of the three of them, Li Yi nodded again and again, and then asked Geng Wu and Min Chun, but the two also agreed very much.

"Hmm...... Then take Bowu as the county guard of Shangdang County, and let Yun Chang and Gongming be the deputy generals. Li Yi said after a deep sigh. In addition, the notice went down and prepared to move to Jinyang. "He has long planned to move to Taiyuan, although Wushuang Country is his fiefdom, and he has feelings after living for so long, but after all, this place is too far away from Jizhou and Sili, and once something happens, it is difficult to react immediately.

It's just that Li Yi has been busy with restructuring before, and if many things are carried out from Taiyuan, it will definitely not be convenient to carry out in Wushuang Country.

"No!" Guo Jia replied respectfully when he heard this.

After everyone left, Li Yi went to the Great Dao Academy to talk to Sima Hui and the others about the relocation. "Well, that's fine, after all, Taiyuan is much better than Wushuang from any point of view. However, the academy won't move for the time being, right? Sima Hui said, looking at Li Yi with a hint of a smile, and then said meaningfully, "Otherwise, it won't be long before I am afraid I will have to move again." ”

"I really can't hide anything from De Caogong......" Li Yi shook his head when he heard this, and smiled bitterly.

Jingcheng County.

"What does Li Yi want to do? Not only did he easily agree to sell the horse to me, but he also planned to make such a large deal with me......" After listening to Zhen Yan's relay, Zhang Yan muttered to herself with a puzzled expression, although Zhen Yan had already told Zhang Yan about her guess, Zhang Yan was still a little incomprehensible.

"Lord, my subordinates think that no matter what Li Yi plans, as long as he can make my army stronger, isn't it enough? After all, compared to us, I'm afraid that Li Yi's eyes are more focused on Yuan Shao now. Zhen Yan said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Yan said in a deep voice, "Yes, that Gongsun Zan has already sent someone to invite me to fight against Yuan Shao before. According to his letters, it seems that he also intends to win over Liu Bei and Na Li Yi in Qingzhou...... Well, that's it! If you go to Bingzhou again, you must get a large number of war horses and military quarters as soon as possible, and preferably, buy some rhubarb crossbows......"

Zhang Yan had crossbow arrows in his hand, but they only got them from the captured cities. Although he also recruited some craftsmen, neither skill nor speed could meet the conditions for large-scale equipment.

"My subordinates do their best." Zhen Yan said respectfully when he heard this.

"Well, if Li Yi agrees, no matter what the conditions, as long as it's not too outrageous, you can directly agree!" Zhang Yan said in a deep voice.

If the war horse is to meet the needs of many of Zhang Yan's tactics, then the big yellow crossbow is the simplest and most direct means to strengthen the Montenegrin army. Once he was able to configure a large number of them, coupled with the terrain advantage, Zhang Yan was confident enough to resist Yuan Shao's attack alone. After all, when it comes to defense alone, I'm afraid there is no weapon more suitable than a crossbow arrow.

However, Zhang Yan didn't have much hope, after all, crossbow arrows are not something that can be bought easily. Even, Zhang Yan didn't know whether Li Yi had a large number of rhubarb crossbows.

When Zhen Yan went to Bingzhou last time, Li Yi had already arrived in Jinyang.

"Hehe, you want to buy a rhubarb crossbow? Your father-in-law's appetite is really big~" Li Yi looked at Zhen Yan and sneered.

"Anyone will want good things, and if the prince is willing to sell them, the price is negotiable." Zhen Yan said with a chuckle, with Zhang Yan's assurance, Zhen Yan was much more relaxed.

"Ten times! And there won't be too many of them. Li Yi said lightly.

"Yes!" Hearing Li Yi's words, Zhen Yan's eyes shrank, but he agreed without any hesitation, although the price proposed by Li Yi was very outrageous.

After all, unlike war horses, although war horses are necessary, they still need to practice hard if they want to truly form combat effectiveness. The Rhubarb Crossbow, on the other hand, is powerful and can be used with almost minimal training. After so many years of development, Zhang Yan is not bad for money, but only for military supplies.

Subsequently, Li Yi asked Xiahoulan and Zhen Yan to discuss the specific content of the transaction, after all, this kind of thing, it is naturally impossible for Li Yi to discuss with Zhen Yan in person. However, just after Zhen Yan left, Guo Jia asked with some doubts, "My lord, it is understandable to sell it to Zhang Yan's subordinates, after all, there are a large number of inferior war horses in this state that are idle and useless, but the rhubarb crossbow is ......."

"Feng Xiao, but you think I'll raise a tiger for trouble?" Li Yi asked with a smile when he heard this.

"It's not enough to raise a tiger, as long as Zhang Yan is not stupid, it is impossible for him to dare to be an enemy of the lord in a short period of time. So no matter how strong his strength is, it is also Yuan Shao's problem. It's just that our army's own rhubarb crossbow is not very many, although after using the assembly line production method proposed by the lord, the production speed has been accelerated a lot......" Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, in fact, the truth is very simple, what we lack most now is all kinds of materials! And not those weapons. Li Yi said with a smile when he heard this, and then showed a look of helplessness, "Although the reform is very smooth, after all, the steps are too big all of a sudden, and the reduction of taxes and forced labor must be made up for by some means." ”

"The lord has no need to worry, the news from all over the country during this period indicates that more and more displaced people have come to settle in the state. And in the future, there will definitely be more. Guo Jia said with a chuckle when he heard this.

"Hehe, that's right, in the future, there will be more! However, for the time being, it is still necessary to make up for some losses through trading. Li Yi smiled and responded.

Of course, in addition to making up for the loss, there is another biggest purpose that Li Yi did not tell Guo Jia, that is, through Zhang Yan, he can obtain more necessary materials. Because when inflation and money depreciate in the future, these materials will become one of Li Yi's strongest weapons.

However, Li Yi didn't blame Guo Jia for not seeing this, after all, people in this era, whether they are ordinary people or scholars, don't have much concept of inflation or anything at all. After all, the status of a businessman is so low, how many people would study such a thing that extends from commerce?

"Speaking of which, what caused the inflation at the end of the Han Dynasty? Is it really just because of the frequent wars? Li Yi thought a little depressed in his heart.

For this period of history, the only thing he knows is that during the period from the end of the Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, the prices of the whole world skyrocketed, almost dozens or hundreds of times higher, but when did it happen? And why did it happen? Li Yi didn't remember it at all. Otherwise, he can take his life as a guarantee, and he can definitely use this to make a profit.

And now, when he doesn't know the specific time, the only thing Li Yi can do is to keep the minimum inventory of money, and then take out a lot of money to buy various materials and hoard them. It's stupid, but it's the best way to do it when there's no way.
