Loyalty fifty is a threshold, at most under fifty can only be ordinary friends, once it is over fifty, it should be considered a close friend, Shi Le is a famous general, and he has great ambitions, and his ability is far beyond ordinary people, but Liu Yuan seems to be wary of him, just let him serve as a guerrilla general.

The level of the general seems to be high, but Liu Yuan has more than a dozen generals under him.

Among them is the city gate general who is responsible for guarding the city gate, which is Liu Yuan's henchman; General Tuntian, who is in charge of logistics, is Liu Yuan's confidant; The general in charge of the archers, who is also a confidant; The Yue cavalry general in charge of the cavalry is even more of a henchman, and Shi Le, a guerrilla general, is only responsible for receiving officials from all walks of life, that is, the leader of the post station, and there are only 100 more sergeants under his command, and he has no real power at all, which also makes Shi Le, who is a capable person, unable to display his ability.

Liu Yuan is also a hero, he saw Shi Le's extraordinary, so he was wary of him, as for a fool like Liu Cong, he naturally couldn't see any way, Liu Yuetian also discovered Shi Le's extraordinaryness at a glance by relying on the magical system, and then relied on his personal charm to make him have a good impression of himself, with the help of such a friend, his life in Tianshui County was better.

"Master, the tea is ready, old man, Brother Shi should drink it while it's hot!"

The small stove brought a tea tray with three cups of hot tea on it.

"Oh, Princess, don't dare to be this, don't dare to be!"

The old man hurriedly stood up and took the tea, the other party was a slave of the county king, but it was still high for them ordinary people, besides, everyone knew that Liu Yuetian never regarded Xiao Lu and Zhang Xingsan as subordinates.

"Your Highness is proficient in agronomy, I must drink this tea."

Shi Le didn't have any polite words with Liu Yuetian now, as soon as he reached out and picked up the teacup and drank it all, the sound of hot water crossing his throat made Liu Yuetian feel a trace of pain, but Shi Le didn't have any expression, as if he was just drinking a glass of cold water.

"Good tea, Princess, another cup!"

Schler handed the teacup to the small stove.

"Your Highness, those plants that grow outside must also be this kind of good tea, there is no such fragrant tea in the whole Tianshui, it must be unique to King Zhou."

"Haha, Brother Shi, you are wrong, this tea is indeed brought by me from Chang'an, but it is not the one outside, and the one grown outside is more precious than any tea...... But I'll sell it first, and you'll know when it grows in four months. ”

Liu Yuetian said and laughed while taking a sip of tea.

"Your Royal Highness, I have been doing farm work for more than 40 years, and there are not many people in Tianshui County who can compare with the plants and crops I have seen, but I have never seen plants that can grow in winter...... Alas, this year's harvest is not good! If you hadn't helped us from time to time, I'm afraid that some of us would have starved to death this winter. ”

In two months, Liu Yuetian mined about 100 taels of gold sand from the Jinsha River, with a purity of 60 percent, and this purity can already be circulated in the market, and the purity of the officially issued gold is about 80 percent, and the exchange ratio with silver is about 1 to 13, and the price of the gold sand mined by Liu Yuetian is about 1 to 10, and 100 taels of gold sand is equivalent to 1,000 taels of official silver.

There are many kinds of military salaries for ordinary soldiers in the Great Zhou, the most common is five baht money, a soldier at the bottom is about five hundred dollars a month, which is equivalent to five dollars of silver, two months is one tael, and a year is six taels of silver, but in many cases, the military salary of the soldiers is settled in silver, all of which are settled in five baht money, and some use grain and cloth, etc., this five baht is also the currency of today's Great Zhou counterparts.

But now the Great Zhou is in a mess, Liang Ji those corrupt officials control the country's coinage function, they wantonly make five baht money, and then issue it indiscriminately, which has caused a lot of inflation, originally the five hundred Wen money can buy five buckets of grain, that is, half a quintal, but now, in Tianshui County, five hundred Wen can actually only buy four buckets of grain, and the inflation near Chang'an City is even worse, five hundred Wen can only buy three buckets of grain, the value of five baht has been greatly reduced, but the military salary is still issued according to the regulations of the year, The sergeants at the bottom are still 500 yuan a month, but in fact, according to the purchasing power of the market, it has shrunk by 40 percent, where is the excess money? Of course, it fell into the pockets of those corrupt officials in Liang Ji.

However, the five baht shrinks, but silver and gold never shrink, this is hard currency, and the world is also the most valuable thing.

Liu Yuetian exchanged these gold sand for more than 1,000 taels of silver, Zhang Xingsan and Xiao Luzi's monthly remuneration was 2 taels of silver, and the rest of the people were 1 tael of silver per month, Liu Yuetian also had more than 900 taels, and after he left more than 300 taels for himself, all the remaining money was used to buy grain, which was more than 600 taels, and he left 200 stones for winter, and the remaining 400 or so stones were all given to his subjects.

Liu Yuetian's subjects are 1,000 households, there are more than 4,000 people, these people are the poorest people in Tianshui County, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only 3,000 acres of land in total, and more than 3,000 quintals of grain are produced in a year, in addition to more than 1,500 quintals handed over to Tianshui County, the rest of the grain is even very difficult to get rations, several people starve to death in the cold every winter, although Liu Yuetian's more than 400 stone of grain is not much, food and clothing can not be done, but at least they can be hungry, can barely let them survive this cold winter.

This kind of behavior also greatly increased the loyalty of this group of people to Liu Yuetian, but perhaps because these people are just the most ordinary people, the system gives these people a very low judgment, and they don't even show their personal attributes, even if there are more than 4,000 people, they only bring Liu Yuetian a total of more than 1,300 merit points.

It was Liu Yuetian's move that made Shi Le's favor towards him continue to increase, and the two became friends, of course, Liu Yuetian also got benefits, and his prestige also changed from the original one, to two, and increased by a thousand meritorious points, but Liu Yuetian's purpose is not only that, he hopes that the loyalty of these thousand residents to himself can reach forty, so that he can recruit himself, don't look at these people are old, weak, sick and disabled, but most of them are under sixty years old, after all, the technology in this era is too low, and there is almost no physiotherapy equipment, The average life expectancy of people is only about 50 years old, and most of them are actually about 40 years old, and more than 1,000 people are less than 40 years old.

Once all these people are conscripted as soldiers, the combat power of the first-level peasant army is thirty, which does not seem to be much, but in comparison, for example, the combat effectiveness of Liu Yuan's troops in Shuijun today is about thirty, and they are all young people in their twenties, but with the help of the system, the advantage of age has disappeared.

Because Liu Yuetian sent food to these ordinary people, this made these people's loyalty to him more than thirty, and it was also very good to reach thirty, the relationship was like ordinary neighbors, they had to greet each other when they met, but they had not yet reached the minimum condition for levying soldiers, that is, their loyalty reached forty.
