Since entering Liaodong, Diao Xie, Yu Liang and other four Jiangzuo envoys have been shocked by the wealth and strength of Liaodong!

The four of them have different missions, among which Liu Kui and Pei Dun are responsible for befriending and seeking assistance from General Zhenbei, while Diao Xie and Yu Liang are the 'eyes' sent to Liaodong by King Langya and the family respectively, and are responsible for remembering everything they see in their hearts, and then reporting to the people behind the scenes after they go back.

On the way, the four of them saw the Liaodong Iron Cavalry coming and going like the wind, like a flash of surprise. Although I have not witnessed the majesty of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry on the battlefield, you can imagine how brave the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is when you look at the countless Hulu who fell under its iron hooves!

Yu Liang couldn't help but sigh to Diao Xie beside him: "Xuan Liang, when I see the magnificent Jicheng, I can finally understand why Liaodong is always invincible!" ”

"Yuan Gui, is General Zhenbei willing to help Jiang Zuo?" Diao Xie's brows kept furrowing, Liaodong was too powerful, which made him feel depressed.

"It's hard to say, what does Liaodong like to think from the perspective of businessmen, and has always loved to be careful, who knows what General Zhenbei will think? This is not a few years ago, when Liaodong was subject to Jiangzuo, and now General Zhenbei has brought two great achievements to stabilize Sheji and destroy the Han State. ”

Yu Liang's words made the four Jiangdong people silent. In recent years, Jiang Zuo has been busy with internal strife and has basically not developed much outward. On the contrary, Liaodong defeated the Xiongnu and Xianbei successively, greatly expanded its territory, and gradually narrowed the gap with Jiangzuo.

"Enlighten your lords, there are people outside who claim to be the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion, and they came to pick up Master Pei at the order of Mrs. Pei."

The doorman broke the peace in the house by breaking in, and Pei Dun hurriedly arched his hand when he heard this: "Everyone, the little girl has sent someone, the old man has to go over and take a look first!" If you have any urgency, you can go directly to my cousin's house to find me, if there is no accident, the old man will temporarily live in my cousin's house. ”

Unexpectedly, Pei Dun, who has always been inconspicuous in Jiangzuo, became the most eye-catching one among everyone after coming to Liaodong. Who made the largest feudal town today was founded by his son-in-law, and his cousin Pei Wei was one of the giants of Liaodong Wenchen.

Looking at Pei Dun, who was leaving in a hurry, Diao Xie's eyes rolled and suggested: "I said two adults, in my opinion, General Zhenbei will not summon us immediately, why don't you take advantage of the fact that you have some free time and take a look around first?" I used to hear people say that Jicheng has the benefits of the world, if you don't see it with your own eyes, wouldn't it be a pity? ”

"Well, Xuan Liang has a point!"

It didn't take long to see Diao Xie, Liu Kui, and Yu Liang change into their daily clothes and take a few entourages out of the post house and walk towards the largest restaurant in the city. entered the restaurant, ordered some wine and food, and the three of them deliberately listened to the conversation around them while eating.

The restaurant is really a mixed place, and all kinds of news are flying all over the sky. Whether it's true or not, it's all-encompassing.

Suddenly, a few young men who looked like scholars near the table attracted Diao Xie's attention.

"Humph! Those South Sea pirates are really bold and reckless, and they dare to sneak attack my Liaodong merchant ships! I really hope that General Zhenbei will send a sailor to teach those barbarian pirates who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth to teach a good lesson! ”

"That is, if it weren't for the fact that the South Seas were thousands of miles away from Liaodong, it was a bit beyond the reach of the whip, how could the pirates succeed?"

"Hehe, don't use your liver to get angry, pirates are just clowns jumping off the beam after all, no matter how you jump, you can't escape from the palm of Liaodong's hand. Nearly 10,000 Liaodong naval divisions plus hundreds of warships are not jealous, I heard that they are ready for the southern expedition, and they will only start operations after the general's mansion leases Jiangdong to Zhuya. ”

"I just don't know if Jiang Zuo can agree to lease Zhuya Island!"

"Humph! If Jiangdong dares not to agree, it is a big deal that the two sides will break up, and without my Liaodong to import horses, see how they form cavalry? ”

"I don't think King Langya is reluctant to even give up a wild and remote place, and he shouldn't refuse Liaodong's lease request."

After Diao Xie, Liu Kui, and Yu Liang heard the content of the scholars' conversation, their eyes were full of doubts, and they couldn't figure out what a few Liaodong scholars meant! What pirates? What lease? How else is it entangled with Jiaozhou Zhu Ya? However, there is one thing that the three of them have figured out, as if there is a place in Liaodong to ask Jiang Zuo for help, which makes the three of them light up, and they suddenly realize that the success of asking for help has greatly increased.

There is no way for the king of Langya to send people to Liaodong for help, don't look at the territory of Jiangzuo is much larger than that of Liaodong, but the annual financial income is only 1.5 million yuan, far less than Liaodong.

"Dalian, what do you say about how General Zhenbei governs the place, Liaodong has been fighting for many years and the finances have not dried up, but Jiang Zuo has only fought with Cheng Han a little, but he is already a little stretched."

Diao Xie and Yu Liang don't understand why Liaodong is so rich, whether in terms of population or territory, Jiangzuo is much stronger than Liaodong, but Jiangzuo is always not as rich as Liaodong. Especially after observing Liaodong up close, they deeply felt the gap between the two.

"This ...... I know a thing or two, Wei Zhiyuan has always attached importance to business development, and under him there are top talents like Mo Han who were born in business. ”

"In fact, as early as a few years ago, this Youzhou was actually still in chaos, with Wang Jun's tyranny inside and Shile eyeing him outside, and the future of Youzhou was gloomy. Later, by chance, Youzhou, which is coincidental in eastern Liaodong, invested millions of dollars to restore the economy of Youzhou, so there is today's prosperous scene."

"When you first entered the city, you must have seen the wide concrete road, right? It is said that this east-west artery, which runs for hundreds of kilometers through Youping and Youping, was built when Youyan was recovered, and after its completion, it greatly promoted the economic development of Youyan. ”

"It can be said that the reason for the rapid economic development of Liaodong is that there are only three most important ones: first, to stabilize agricultural development; the second is to encourage industrial and commercial development; The third is to invest in the construction of basic undertakings. ”

Yu Liang and Diao Xie kept chewing on the development strategy of Liaodong, especially the three summarized by Liu Kui at the end. After having a preliminary understanding of Liaodong, Jiangdong people were a little eager to understand the military strength of Liaodong.

From some published information, it is known that the entire military system of Liaodong is divided into three levels, namely the militia, the government army, and the box army, of which except for the militia, which is a paramilitary organization, the other two levels are regular military organizations.

Yu Liang suddenly asked in a low voice: "Lord Liu, according to the military system of Liaodong, if it launches a war mobilization with all its might, how many soldiers and horses can be recruited at least at one time?" ”

Liu Kui was stunned when he heard this, and thought for a while before answering: "It's hard to say, I don't know the specific amount, but judging from the fact that everyone in Liaodong has received military training, if Liaodong faces a threat of life and death, at least one million troops can be mobilized in a short time!" ”

"Hundred...... Million? It can't be a rabble, right? Diao Xie and Yu Liang were shocked, and they couldn't believe it was true.

"A rabble? Hehe, after the two of you have seen the training of the Liaodong militia, you won't have this sigh! Those militiamen have to receive a certain amount of military training every year, and those who pass the training will not only be rewarded with money and money, but also enjoy preferential tax treatment, which makes the training effect of the militia no worse than that of the government soldiers and the van army. ”

"Every year, the Liaodong Xiang Army and the government soldiers have to select the elite from the militia, which shows how good the military training in Liaodong is!"

"With these foundations, it is not difficult for Liaodong to arm a million army, and the combat effectiveness of this million army should not be underestimated!"

Liu Kui explained with a serious face that the more he knew about Liaodong, the more he admired Wei Shuo's talent.

After coming out of the restaurant, Liu Kui, Diao Xie, and Yu Liang hired a car to Jicheng Commercial Street, but they didn't expect to be stopped by the staff on duty as soon as they arrived at the entrance. It turned out that there were too many people in the commercial street, and the government had to ban horse-drawn carriages, which may be the world's first real commercial 'pedestrian street'.

Yu Liang looked at the busy commercial street, and said with emotion: "General Zhenbei is really a civil and military all-rounder, and he has unique views in both military and political aspects. It was under his rule that Liaodong was able to achieve revival in the shortest possible time! If Jiangzuo can learn some experience from this, maybe it will be of some help to Jiangzuo's economic development! ”

"Well, what Yuan Gui said is good, although some policies in Liaodong seem a little incomprehensible, and even a little unbelievable, but when you taste it carefully, it contains deep meaning." Liu Kui agreed with Yu Liang's suggestion to learn from Liaodong. (To be continued.) )
