The Ministry of Grain and Grass Supply only listens to Ran Fei's orders, and is responsible for summarizing the experience of farming, then writing it down, and then teaching it to ordinary people. Of course, these masters are all lifelong, even if one day they are too old to move, as long as they have made contributions to the north, they can get subsidies from the government. It is equivalent to the current pension insurance.

Ran Fei's idea was supported by all the high-level leaders in the northern part of the Qi Kingdom, and it was soon implemented.

However, due to the large influx of population, many spies also followed, and this gave Wang Tianlong a place to use.

Ran Fei's method was very effective, and soon, the farmers of Qi began to farm with purpose and clues. Ran Fei and the senior management in the north are very convinced that they will be able to get a bumper harvest next year.

But soon, the envoy of the king of Qi came again, this time asking for the weapons and armor needed by the five thousand soldiers, and the date was still three months.

The military attachés present were shocked, if they wanted to build so much equipment in three months, unless the blacksmith shops in the northern part of the entire Qi country were operational, but this would greatly deplete the strength of all aspects of the north, the king of Qi's plan was really vicious, and Ran Fei's heart strengthened his determination to become the king of his own country, in the eyes of the king of Qi, Ran Fei was just an entourage, he could do whatever he wanted, for his own safety, completely ignoring the actual situation in the entire north, but this also made the entire northern Qi country cold.

Ran Fei took the order without saying a word, Zhang Dali and the others were very angry and wanted to ask clearly, but they were stopped by Ran Fei. When the envoy of the King of Qi left, Ran Fei ordered Zhang Dali, "Go, spread this matter throughout the Qi Kingdom within a month." ”

Zhang Dali nodded, he knew in his heart that Ran Fei was going to pour oil on firewood, and when the time came, as long as there was a little spark, there would be a prairie fire!

At noon, on the street, there is a small stall, two finished craftsmen sit together to eat and drink tea, both of them are relatively strong, after eating and drinking, they always like to sit for a while and talk about idle things, and the stall owner does not mind.

One of them asked, "How are you doing?" ”

"It's good, I can eat meat once a month in the last month, let's not talk about anything else, since Marshal Ran came, our life is really getting better and better! That day, my relatives in Linzi came to see me and saw that we were eating white rice. scared me, and he said that although Linzi also cut taxes for three years, the economic situation there was not good, and rice could only be eaten every day by dignitaries. Think about our days, we can eat rice for more than ten days every month, it's good to think about it! ”

"Cut, what are you, my cousin is from the Sword Casting Hall, and their day is really good! I eat rice every day, and I eat meat at least four or five times a month. Tsk tsk, that's the real fat flowing. ”

"Do you still have to say that? Who in the entire north doesn't know the treatment of the Sword Casting Hall? In addition to the weapons and armor sold every year, Marshal Ran also allocated a sum of money from the military expenses to them. There is no way to do this, after all, it involves war, if you want to do it two years ago, the five countries will come again, let alone food, and I am afraid that your life will not be saved. ”

"That's what you're talking about. But I've heard one thing, I don't know if it's true? ”

"What's the matter, you say!"

The person who spoke looked around vigilantly, and after finding no suspicious person, he beckoned and motioned for the other party to come over. The other party was a little impatient, "What's the matter, you just say it!" Why are you so mysterious! ”

"Huh! If you want to come over, you'll come over! ”

The other party sensed the seriousness of the situation and leaned his ears over.

"I heard that the King of Qi saw that Marshal Ran was highly meritorious, and he tried every means to weaken the strength of the northern part of the Qi State, and just took away three thousand pieces of armor for nothing, and now he asks the marshal for five thousand pieces of equipment, and it must be done within three months."

"You said this, I heard my cousin say it early in the morning." He lowered his voice and said, "That's the case, the prosperity of the north exceeds that of Linzi, the king of Qi is afraid, afraid that Marshal Ran will rebel that day, so he asked the marshal to provide him with weapons for free, so that there is nothing for a while, but if it goes on for a long time, the strength of the north will be eroded step by step." ”

"How can this be!" The person who heard this was very angry, and slapped the table and got up, "He is a great hero of our Qi country!" ”

"Oops!" The friend hurriedly grabbed him, "Don't get excited, be careful!" He looked around vigilantly, "You don't want to die!" King Qi is still here, but there are still people here! ”

"Humph! It's so unfair, the marshal has made such a great contribution, not to mention the reward, not only to send people to spy on him, but also to consume the power of the north, it is really hateful. ”

"But if you were the King of Qi, you would do the same, Marshal Ran is too capable, and he has the power of the army. Everyone is afraid. ”

"But Marshal is really anti-minded, why didn't he rebel earlier? Moreover, since someone has been sent to monitor it again, why should the power in the north be so depleted. ”

"There's no way, who makes the family the king! Yes, the third marshal, as a courtier, can only obey him! ”

Even the two ordinary craftsmen on the side of the street knew the purpose of King Qi, not to mention all the officials and nobles in the northern part of Qi Kingdom. It's just that everyone didn't make a big deal out of fear that they would lose if they talked too much.

What Ran Fei wants is this effect, as long as everyone gradually loses confidence in the Qi King, he will have a chance to take advantage of it.

In the next three months, Ran Fei Casting Sword Hall worked non-stop to make armor for King Qi, and after finally completing the task, Ran Fei asked Casting Sword Hall to start making more armor, because although there is no problem with the weapons and armor of the current standing army of 14,000 people, there are still reserves. Although these people only went to the battlefield after the standing army had finished fighting, Ran Fei felt that they should also be trained regularly in their spare time, so that they should be familiar with the weight of weapons and armor. Don't wait for class, the battlefield is not familiar with anything, then it will be miserable.

But what Ran Fei did was reported to Queen Qi, but King Qi felt that it was somewhat unreasonable for a marshal to train reserve troops when he was not fighting. Because there are only two reasons for this, one is to prevent a sudden attack by the enemy country and exhaust the troops, and the other is to prepare for a rebellion. The King of Qi originally thought it was nothing and agreed with Ran Fei's idea, but a month later, after hearing the Overseer's return, the north was a little dissatisfied with the King of Qi for letting Ran Fei take out a lot of materials and weapons for nothing. Although the north is more prosperous than Linzi, it should not bear the cost of the country's large army.

When the king of Qi heard the news, he was a little angry, coupled with Ran Fei's military training, which made him feel scared, coupled with the fact that Qin Guo's meticulous work was hyped in Linzi about Ran Fei's bad place, the king of Qi ordered Yuan Qi to be removed from his post as general of Zhenbei. Let Ran Fei have no right-hand man, and General Zhenbei was sent by Linzi to take over.

Fifteen days later, the people sent by Linzi went to the north, and Yuan Qi returned to Jiyang according to the order after the handover, and became the commander of Jiyang's defense.

But soon, there was a problem, the northern border troops only obeyed Yuan Qide's orders, and did not welcome the new commander, and later because of some command problems, everyone quarreled into a pot of porridge, and the new general dismissed forty percent of the generals in a fit of anger, and the result was disheartened.

Yan Guo originally wanted to take advantage of Yuan Qi's deposition to attack Qi again, but he did not dare to act because he was afraid of Ran Fei. Qin Guozuo saw this and reported it to Wei Ran, Wei Ran laughed when he heard it, and secretly ordered him to go down and start the next plan.
