In the Taishou Mansion, Liu Yuan was looking at a bamboo slip with a book, and suddenly threw the bamboo slip on the ground, which frightened the surrounding entourage guards.

"What presumptuous!"

Liu Yuan slapped the table and scolded loudly.

"Master, has the holy decree of the court come to collect money and grain again?"

The master walked over and asked in a low voice.

"That's right, it says that this year's drought in Guanzhong has displaced the people, and in order to provide disaster relief, let us Tianshui take out 100,000 taels of silver.

Hmph, in the past few years, they don't know how much military salary they have withheld from me, and now they dare to ask me, even if they give them 100,000 taels of silver, how much can be used in the hands of the victims? Haven't they all been possessed by Liang Ji? You really think of me as a three-year-old, what a joke! ”

Liu Yuan said coldly.

"The master is right, we can't give this money easily......... Seeing that His Royal Highness the county king made a generous move, and sent food to those poor ghosts every once in a while, I knew that the court was not short of money now, but I was afraid that someone in the court would take this opportunity to stir up trouble, and we were not ready after all! ”

The master was a little worried.

"That Liu Yuetian is an idiot......... But what you said is also reasonable, after all, our Tianshui is a small place, and we can be self-sufficient in food, but once a war starts, this place is a place where the three parties must fight, and we can't hold this point at all, so we can only rely on the support of the imperial court......... Well, there you have it, you immediately draft a chapter, and say that I am willing to take out the disaster relief money and food, but when the horse bandits are rampant and the army is suppressing the bandits, let the imperial court send someone to collect the disaster relief money. ”

"What? You ......... host! ”

The master was a little puzzled when he heard Liu Yuan's words.

"Then you ask the hidden guard to pass the word to the horse bandits, and say that the military salary given to us by the imperial court this year is almost .........."

This time, the master understood.

"Tall! What a plan the host! When the horse bandits heard the news, how could they let go of such a good opportunity, they would definitely rob and kill them halfway, how could those armies in the court be the opponents of the horse bandits, and the result must be that all of them must be killed, so we have another excuse, wonderful, really wonderful! ”

The master praised again and again.

"Go ahead, but you have to remember that this matter must not be known to the horse bandits, and if the slightest word leaks out, you people will all die!"

Liu Yuan looked around, and the people around him were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

Liu Yuetian distributed seventy stone of grain to the poor, of course, some families had more surplus grain, but they did not get the grain, and some families divided a few more buckets, although a few buckets of grain was not much, but it was enough for one person to make ends meet for a month or two.

As the food was distributed, the system once again sent a hint: the scan detected that there were 4,167 people within a kilometer of the vicinity whose loyalty to the host had increased, of which 532 had increased their loyalty to the host to more than 40, and 251 soldiers could be collected, and the host had a total of 1,859 meritorious ..........

"More than 4,000 people have such a little merit value?"

Liu Yuetian shook his head slightly, but fortunately, two hundred and fifty-one people were able to provide themselves with soldiers, and as long as they used the soldier recruitment function, they would turn these people into peasant troops.

The peasant army is only a first-class soldier, and its combat power is not strong, and it is not easy to be promoted to a second-level soldier, and it is necessary to make an item called a yellow turban ribbon, which requires a material of Tianshan silk.

Tianshan is a mountain range in the Western Regions, it is said that it is unattainable, Tianshan silk is produced in the mountains, this kind of silk thread is much higher than the price of ordinary twine, ordinary people can't afford it at all, it is generally used among nobles, and hard armor is also sewn with this silk thread.

"I heard Brother Shi say that Shenglong Buzhuang in Tianshui County has this Tianshan silk, and I will go to see it tomorrow."

After breakfast the next day, Liu Yuetian went out with a small stove, and the two of them were walking towards the south of the city, if the north of the city is where the poor live, then the south of the city is the place where the rich live, and the people who live are officials, and it can be seen from the clothes of the pedestrians on the street, although these people are not as silk and satin, but at least they are dressed decently, not like those people in the north of the city, one by one, they are in rags, and there are grain stores, cloth villages, restaurants, inns, dart boards, casinos and even fireworks on both sides of the street. Merchants from the north and south of the river also rest here.

Soon, the two came to the front of a small two-story building, and a plaque with the word "Shenglong" written on it.

Shenglong Commercial Bank is the largest commercial house in Tianshui County, operating a lot of goods, cloth, hotels, money villages, etc., not only in Tianshui, but also in all parts of the country, the boss behind this commercial house is called Fan Li, who is recognized as a wealthy merchant in the whole country, and his wealth is enough to compare with the princes of one party.

Liu Yuetian walked into the cloth village with a small stove, and the counters on both sides were full of various colors of cloth.

Xiao Er, who ran the hall, saw a guest coming in and immediately greeted him.

"Oops! It's His Royal Highness the King of the County! Rare guests, His Royal Highness sits here. ”

This little two was very clever, recognized the other party at a glance, and hurriedly welcomed Liu Yuetian and the others in.

Liu Yuetian, the king of the county, also has a reputation in this Tianshui County, no one takes him seriously, although Xiao Er respects him very much, but he doesn't have any sense of fear, and he is even exempted from kneeling and bowing.

"Shopkeeper, His Royal Highness the King of the County has come down .........."

Although Liu Yuetian, the king of the county, has no power or power, but these days his reputation of "generosity" is like thunder in the city, as long as this rich man still has money in his hands, these shops have to be well served.

"Your Highness? Oh, Your Highness is here, and you are far away! ”

A man in his fifties walked out of the hall quickly, came to Liu Yuetian and bowed deeply.

"What is the shopkeeper called?"

Treating these rich people, Liu Yuetian showed his noble status, sat on the chair and asked casually.

"Little second child Sun Decheng."

"Shopkeeper Sun, okay, I came this time just to ask if there is any Yunjin in our cloth village, I want to buy some."

Liu Yuetian didn't talk nonsense to the other party and asked directly.

"This Yunjin is only available in Jiangnan, that is, Sun Quan, but I have a horse here, which has been put for half a year, but the price is expensive, and one horse is five taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile.

"Bought it."

Liu Yuetian waved his hand, and the small stove on the side took out five taels of silver and put it on the table.

"Okay, take Yunjin to His Highness."

The runner quickly took out a piece of cloth, the background color of this cloth was white, but there were cloud patterns on it, and it flickered and flickered as if a floating cloud was being blown by a breeze.

"A cloud brocade, the materials required for equipment, can be used to make armor and class equipment, and the amount used is .........."

The system sent a prompt, listing the amount of various equipment, the minimum ordinary armor one piece of cloth can provide ten pieces, and the five pieces of white python robe required Yun Jin is one.

The white python robe is a material only used by third-level soldiers, and it is not needed for the time being, Liu Yuetian came this time to buy Tianshan silk.

"Your Highness wants to buy Tianshan silk? Then you are asking, my Shenglong firm is all over the world, operating all kinds of goods, Tianshan silk is a treasure to say that others do not have, my family is how many and how much! Little household, go and bring this silk. ”

The runner immediately walked into the hall, and in a short time he took out a ball of white silk.

"Your Highness, look, this is the high-grade Tianshan silk, and the dignitaries in Chang'an City can use it to weave cloth, and the woven cloth is both strong and beautiful."

Liu Yuetian took this ball of silk in his hand, and it was really light and fluttering, as if there was nothing.

"Tianshan silk was found, weighing one catty, which can be used to make corresponding equipment, and the yellow turban ribbon can be used to make two pieces of ............."

The sound of the system sounded, and then listed the various equipment that needed silk, the yellow turban ribbon was the least, only five taels a piece, and if it was Praetorian Guard armor, a set would use hundreds of taels.
