Chapter 309: Prosperity and development, arms dealers make a lot of money

After three such battles, the six tribes completely turned to the Dingbei garrison. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can't do it if you don't return to your heart, and the young men in the clan who can fight on horseback have all made a fortune with this deputy head of the regiment, and some of them have finally married Kaor. After these three battles, the young men of the six clans immediately swore allegiance to Li De.

Gradually, among these six small tribes, some people began to say that Li Deyi was their "Ying Khan", which means the Great Khan who brings hope. Judging by the current condition alone, this is indeed the case. Li Deyi gave them good food, gave them good clothes, gave them revenge, and provided them with a place to spend the winter. Even Emperor Tuliao did not do as well as Li Deyi back then.

The heroic master of the heroic and martial arts, if it is according to common sense, it was born. But it's a pity that Li Deyi doesn't look at these things and does the same thing as a generation of heroes, but what he thinks in his heart is all like that. The so-called character determines fate, and the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change.

Soon after, other small tribes came to the banks of the Jinshui River one after another, asking if they could be sheltered by the Dingbei garrison.

In the face of these new small tribes, Li Deyi's conditions were the same as always, all adult males joined the Dingbei garrison regiment, and the warhorses of appropriate age belonged to the garrison regiment. The Dingbei garrison provided them with all the necessities of life, and welcomed them into the trading city to live in the cold when winter came. The cattle and sheep of these later tribes could also only be sold to the Dingbei Garrison, and the Dingbei Garrison gave them the same price as other tribes (tea bricks, silk cloth).

As more and more small tribes of the grassland moved to the banks of the Jinshui River, this trading city finally began to prosper. And with the arrival of more and more Yi people, the engineer battalion has also been expanding the trade city, which can now accommodate more than 100,000 people, quite large. I have to say that Li Deyi was also quite prescient and built this trade city on the south bank of the Jinshui River, far away from Dingbei County. Therefore, although there are more and more Yi people, it does not make the people of Dingbei County feel uneasy at all.

The common people are so simple, no matter what happens, as long as they are far enough away from themselves, they can't see or hear it every day, and they will live their own small life with peace of mind.

There were too many people, and Li Deyi began to do some things. The Yi people on the grassland live in poverty, which is relatively speaking, in fact, they have a large number of cattle and sheep skins, cattle tendons and so on. Unfortunately, they had no place to exchange for silk cloth, tea, iron pots, clean salt and other necessities, so life was extremely difficult.

Since the rise of the Tuliao people more than 20 years ago, the Ping Zhou Dynasty has cut off trade with the grasslands. The only few secret private goods trade is firmly in the hands of the big tribes of the steppe and the Tuliao people, and these small tribes can't even share the crumbs of bread. Therefore, their days gradually became impoverished to a tribe, and only the patriarch had an iron pot. Even the patriarch had never tasted tea.

Now, Li Deyi established this trade city, and used the Dingbei garrison regiment to bring home a large number of materials accumulated during the years of war, and began to exchange the cattle and sheep skins, cattle tendons, and other special products on the grassland in the hands of these herdsmen. Naturally, more and more small tribes began to hear the news, and the trading city became more and more prosperous.

When there are many people, there will naturally be friction and right and wrong. The reason for the trouble is nothing more than that some Yi people are more greedy, and they never bargain when they see that the Dingbei Garrison Regiment does business, so they want to exchange some extra tea, silk cloth, and fine salt. They began to show that brute force, wanting to scare these soldiers of the logistics battalion of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment who were honestly doing business. After the incident broke out, the other Yi people saw that there seemed to be a advantage to take advantage of, and they were all eager to try and want to participate. Fortunately, Li Deyi insisted on directly using the garrison regiment soldiers to manage it, and those who dared to make trouble would be killed, and if the whole clan made trouble, his entire clan would be killed.

After two killers, all the tribes who came to the trade city knew that there was a fierce killer star riding a mule in this trade city, and if anyone dared to disobey the rules and wanted to do things with brute strength on the grassland, there was only one end, that is, to be killed, no matter how many people were, there was only one end. After killing people, this killer who rode a mule would hang them on a wooden pole on the north side of the trade city to dry them until the next batch of criminals came to replace them, and then they could take down the last batch of dead bodies and throw them into the Jinshui River to feed the fish.

With bright sabers, tough methods, and bloody corpses, Li Deyi finally succeeded in penetrating the rules into the bones of these barbaric and untamed people, making them afraid and trembling, but they had to obey them honestly. Facts have proved that no matter how fierce and savage the wolf is, it has to be soft in the face of bloody knives. You can't tame it, it just means that your knife isn't fast enough.

With the rules, the trading city became more and more prosperous, and gradually the small tribes in the northwest all knew about this good place in exchange for silk cloth, tea, iron pots, and fine salt that could not be eaten. More and more small tribes began to drive their cattle and sheep here in exchange for essential supplies.

After half a year and enough cowhides and tendons, Li Deyi gathered a large number of men and stout women from Dingbei County, and then found Yiren craftsmen who were proficient in leather armor, leather shields, and bow and arrow making, and founded a new school, called Dingbei Craft School. In this school, the apprentice is in charge of one meal a day, and after completing his studies, he is hired by the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, and is paid a fixed salary of a third-class soldier every month, and at the same time gives money by piece, for each qualified leather shield, one silver coin, three leather armor, five hardwood bows, and one silver coin for one hundred arrows.

According to the original assembly line production mode of processing black steel scale cloud armor, Li Deyi compiled a new production manual, and made the operation steps more refined, so that each person only had one step. Wang Yigao also gave full play to his ability in organ design this time, and successfully used the river of Jinshui River to make a water-driven conveyor belt system, which changed the previous mode of relying on manual transmission, and truly pushed the assembly line production to a new peak.

Li Deyi praised Wang Yi highly, and specially convened a battalion meeting to commend him, allowing him to use three steel buttons on his chest. This is the highest honor for the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment at present, and less than 300 people in the regiment have this honor. Wang Yigao also said excitedly that this is the result of leadership cultivation, and he will definitely make persistent efforts to make more contributions to the Dingbei Garrison Regiment.

This time, Li Deyi was able to find a large number of people to process these cowhides and tendons, and thanks to the long-term and uninterrupted recruitment and resettlement of refugees in the Weibei camp. The number of Dingkou under the rule of Weibeiying has increased every year, and it is finally enough to make up the manpower that Li Deyi needs this time.

Another important reason is that over the years, the Dingbei Garrison has insisted on distributing and promoting iron farm tools to farmers who farm the land for free, and has raised a large number of cultivated cattle, and at the same time encouraged farmers to use the new convenient farm tools designed by Tian Genghao and his apprentices from the Agricultural College. This multi-pronged approach has made it no longer necessary to spend a lot of labor on farming as before. In Dingbei County, an adult man can now easily cultivate dozens of acres of land independently. As long as it is time to harvest, send enough people to harvest grain in time.

In this way, at the same time, a large number of people were liberated from the shackles of the land, so that they had enough leisure time to work in the Dingbei Craft School of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment to earn money.

It took half a year for Li Deyi to hoard a large number of leather shields, leather armor, and hardwood bows. On the premise of satisfying the Dingbei garrison regiment's own use, there is still a lot of inventory. At this point, Li Deyi came up with the idea of selling weapons.

On this day, he gathered together the rich merchants of Luodu City who had given him gifts and said that he was going to make a big deal with them. Immediately, Li Deyi announced a piece of news, which made more than a dozen wealthy businessmen present look at each other, and they couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

Li De paused for a moment, seeing that his words had aroused the interest of these merchants, and then continued: "You also know that now the Dingbei Garrison has a large amount of leather armor, leather shields, and hardwood bows in their hands. There are not many envoys to the north garrison regiment in the north of Dingding, but the Li family in the south and Liu Fuyi in the east are in need of these weapons to equip their soldiers. ”

The merchants nodded, and began to exchange heated discussions. If there is chaos today, although the north was almost killed by the Tuliao people, there are still many forces remaining. If there is a way, these weapons can be transported across the Shuangshui River, and there are countless gate valve divisions in the south that will compete to buy them. All in all, reselling weapons nowadays, if there is a safe way, it is definitely a profitable business.

Especially the leather armor, the Tuliao people have occupied the grassland for many years, and they can't get a single skin into Pingzhou. Compared with all kinds of iron armor, this leather armor is relatively simple to make, but the defense is not bad, but after it is damaged, the defense is greatly reduced, and the service life is shorter. But in general, leather armor is still very popular with those who divide the tycoons, after all, the price is much cheaper than iron armor, and the price of buying a set of iron armor can buy at least five sets of good leather armor.

In the past six months, these businessmen have been itching their teeth for a long time when they have seen the amazing daily trading volume in the trade city, but they have no way to intervene in it. This time, when they heard that the deputy head of the regiment was going to sell this batch of equipment, all the businessmen suddenly widened their eyes.

They are not ordinary small businessmen, they are all wealthy businessmen who dominate one side, but they are not officials, they have no power in their hands, and they can't protect their lives in this troubled era, so they came to Dingbei County for refuge. But the way they had been operating for many years is still there, and they can reopen the trade route with a little maintenance.

Li Deyi came to them this time, just to plan to partner with them in the business of this weapon. Although the Dingbei garrison is strong, they are all a gang of old men who fight and kill, and if they do business and bargain with others, they must lose all their pants. In view of this, Li Deyi had to extinguish the idea of monopolizing all the benefits of this weapons business and found this group of businessmen to cooperate with them.

Seeing that the businessmen had basically finished discussing, they stared at themselves with round eyes. It's really hard for these rich businessmen, all of them are fat and fat, and their eyes are almost squeezed out, and at this time, they have to stare at Li Deyi with their eyes wide open, for fear that they will miss any details.

Looking around left and right, Li Deyi was full of style, and then said slowly: "The Dingbei garrison is all rough men who are used to fighting. It's okay to fight people on the battlefield, but it's not okay to do business and bargain with people. Therefore, this business depends on your efforts. ”
