"Huan Wen has been captured, and you still have to resist?"

The sound was like a bell, and nearly 10,000 people below could hear it clearly.

"Lay down your arms and spare your lives!"

The Tiger Army also shouted loudly.

At this time, Liu Yuetian's soldiers had already occupied a huge advantage, and at this moment, Huan Wen was captured, and the other party was immediately deflated, and without Liu Yuetian saying more, he threw the weapon directly to the ground, and then fell down with his head in his hands, letting the other party tie himself up.

This battle only lasted two quarters of an hour, Huan Wen himself was captured, and his men were killed and wounded 3,000 people, while the Tiger Ben army only had 100 wounded, and the soldiers brought by Di Qing did have some casualties, but they did not exceed 100 people.

Liu Yuetian occupied Andan and immediately appeased the people, but the people had already heard of Liu Yuetian's reputation, and they were very happy about Liu Yuetian's arrival, one by one, they were elated, not only the people, but also ordinary soldiers, and they had long heard that the soldiers under Liu Yuetian even had more salaries than others, and what these soldiers were pursuing was not to make more money to support their families, if it weren't for Huan Wen to be good to them, these people would have surrendered a long time ago.

"Brother Di Qing, the army in the city of Anding will be handed over to you, and they will rush to the battlefield in two months, can you make them sincerely submit?"

In the county guard's mansion, Liu Yuetian looked at Di Qing and asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, I, Di Qing, will definitely train them well and make them warriors on the battlefield!"

At this time, Di Qing was also full of confidence.

This battle has also opened my eyes, I have long heard that Liu Yuetian is like a god, especially the various weapons that are manufactured, which are simply unheard of, and today there is this powerful trebuchet, the stone can also explode when it flies out, if it is made hundreds of them, who can arrive?

This little lord is informal, Di Qing used to be just a small army commander under Liu Rong, Fu Jian immediately became a thousand commanders after he arrived, and now Liu Yuetian has entrusted him with a heavy task, making him a general who commands ten thousand armies, this kind of kindness is deeper than recreating his parents, where is Di Qing unwilling to work hard? Besides, the quality of these soldiers was already good, but now that Liu Yuetian has raised their salaries and implemented preferential policies in Anding County, the people and the army in the whole city are happy, and it basically takes little effort to manage them.

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words."

Di Qing's talent Liu Yuetian is very clear, and he is a famous general, and it is naturally easy to lead these two or thirty thousand people.

Things in the city have been done in two or three days, Huan Wen was thrown into prison, and if he didn't surrender, he would be in prison for the rest of his life.

Liu Yuetian led a dozen guards out of the city and marched north, where he wanted to inspect the nearby terrain for combat use.

Six hundred miles northwest of Anding County is Shangjun, two hundred miles southwest is Hongnong County, the three cities are distributed in a triangle, Shangjun is stationed with 30,000 elite soldiers of Daqin, the other party wants to attack Hongnong County will inevitably be discovered by Anding County, Liu Yuetian is on a hillside several hundred meters high and looks around, there is basically no natural danger here, it is a large desert, and there are even few places to hide the army, and the army can only fight hard.

Liu Yuetian explored the nearby terrain clearly, and was about to go back when the system suddenly came with news.

"Iron ore was found two miles northwest of the country, with an abundance of seventy percent .........!"

"What? Finding iron ore? ”

Hearing the news, Liu Yuetian almost jumped.

"Iron ore! As long as there is iron ore, it represents a lot of wealth, and there is really something missing! ”

Now Liu Yuetian has the three counties of Tianshui, Hongnong and Anding, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers available in his hands, but the problem is also here, the tax burden of the people in the three counties has been greatly reduced, but the army's military salary has doubled, which has made Liu Yuetian a little stretched.

The monthly salary of 100,000 soldiers exceeded 200,000 taels of silver, almost reaching 300,000 taels, and this is only the military salary, and the monthly wages of officials and craftsmen who have already worked for the government add up to nearly 20,000 taels of silver, and all the expenses have exceeded 300,000 taels.

Even if Shen Fu's trading house is expanding rapidly, constantly selling mirrors, glass products and precious herbs to the outside world, it is only 100,000 taels per month, after all, Shen Fu's trading house is still short, no matter how fast it is, it can't reach the point of spreading all over the world, and Liu Yuetian's income from selling land is only three or four hundred thousand taels, this policy is long-term, and there are still not many people who can realize this benefit in a short time.

After calculating that Liu Yuetian now has a total of more than two million taels of silver in his hands, he can only let the government run for seven or eight months, if the money is spent, although Shi Le and Chang Yuchun will not have problems with the generals and officials, but the soldiers under his command are afraid that the morale will be affected, and the combat effectiveness is not easy to say.

Silver and gold these two kinds of mineral deposits as early as thousands of years ago people began to use, thousands of years in the world there are only two silver mines, one is the land of Qiantang of Dawu, the other is the land of Dashu, as for the gold mine, that only exists in the land of Qilu in the Great Wei, but thousands of years of time has basically been mined almost, although the total number is not calculated, but there are about 20 million taels of silver and 5 million taels of gold, but hundreds of years ago Dawu and overseas had business and trade, a large number of gold and silver from overseas transported, through the purchase of tea, Silk entered the Central Plains, and there were tens of millions of taels of silver and millions of taels of gold in hundreds of years.

Up to now, Liu Yuetian estimates that the total amount of silver within the scope of the Great Zhou is about 100 million taels, and as for gold, I am afraid it will not exceed 10 million taels.

These gold and silver are hard currency, basically controlled in the hands of all forces, very little circulation to the people, that is, Liu Yuetian will give gold and silver to the army and the common people, other princes are replaced by copper coins, and the circulation of the people is basically copper coins, among the princes, only pig iron, grain, salt, tea, war horses and some precious medicinal materials can be exchanged for gold and silver.

Pig iron is only available in Dashu and Daqin, although the grain is planted by all the princes, but the best rice can only be planted in large quantities in Dashu and Dawu because of the special climate and terrain, as for salt, Dawu has the most, there are a lot of sea salt along the coast, and the same is true for Qilu in Dawei, and the rest is that Zangzhou and Daqin have some well salt, that is, although it is not as much as Dawu, it can also be self-sufficient.

In terms of tea, it is naturally the most in Dawu, and the war horses come from Daqin and Datang, as for the precious medicinal materials, they are only available in the deep mountains and old forests in the extreme north of the Qing Dynasty.

Today, gold and silver are the most valuable currencies, but after all, the quantity is relatively small, and more often the princes of all parties exchange them with pig iron, grain, salt, tea and other materials.

So in some ways, having pig iron is equivalent to being exchanged for other materials, and even gold and silver can be exchanged, and it is a big deal to spend more pig iron.
