Chapter 175: The Grand Scene
Horse-drawn carriages continued to rush towards the direction of Jincheng, and this was the scene that Han Sui saw standing on the city.
"Is there something going on in Jincheng County? Why do so many merchants go to the Golden City? Jia Rong's actions in the Jincheng Bureau naturally did not escape Han Sui's eyes, what rebuilt houses, opened up wasteland, paper mills, etc., and now seeing such a grand scene, he naturally had doubts.
Lou Shan on the side shook his head and said that he didn't know, what surprised Lou Shan was that Jia Rong actually placed the Qiang people in Jincheng County and divided a piece of land separately, I don't know if it was the Han Emperor who instructed or Jia Rong decided to do this, Lou Shan found that he couldn't understand this young Han general more and more, what made him so bold to settle the Qiang people in the territory and help the Qiang people reclaim the land.
Looking at Han Sui beside him, Lou Shan suddenly had the idea that following Han Sui was a wrong decision, Xian Lingqiang had gone through so many wars, nearly half of the dead and wounded, and the clansmen still did not get any actual benefits, this winter, the life of the clansmen was not good.
In fact, Han Sui didn't understand that Weishenme Jia Rong would have such a rich financial support, even if he Han Sui did these things, he couldn't catch it, and Jia Rong, the barrenness and barrenness of Beidi County was obvious to everyone, Jia Rong only served as the Taishou of Beidi County, so it is said that it is impossible to loot a lot of money, and it is impossible to waste it like this.
Jia Rong's various behaviors are beyond Han Sui's cognition, it seems impossible, but Jia Rong did it, and spent so much financial resources to renovate the golden city, in Han Sui's opinion, only the reinforcement of the city wall is worth it.
Yan Liang bowed down and asked, "Why don't we ask those merchants why they rushed to Jincheng County?" ”
Seeing Han Sui nodded, Yan Liang hurriedly walked down the city, and after a while, Yan Liang ran up to the city wall panting and said, "The merchants under the city said that the price of immortal love in Jincheng County is much lower than that of other places, so they rushed to Jincheng. ”
"Immortal love? What is it? Han Sui asked.
Yan Liang explained: "It is said that Xianlian is a kind of thing used to bathe and wash hair, and it is very popular in the prefectures and counties of Dahan. ”
Han Sui nodded and ordered, "Use everything to find out everything about Immortal Love in Jincheng County!" By the way, go to the merchants in the city to buy a piece of fairy love and see what the hell Jia Rong is doing. ”
Although Jincheng is located in a remote area, the temptation of fairy love is huge, and many businessmen have worked tirelessly to come to Jincheng County.
Few merchants are stupid, the Han Dynasty sells five or ten runs, they can go to the counties without Xian Lian Pavilion to sell ten or twenty runs, so that the profits are considerable, and this time there are many merchants, and the goods are more convenient to trade, which is also the reason why the merchants come to Jincheng from thousands of miles away, and Jincheng has temporarily become a trading house for merchants.
For a time, Jincheng County became extremely crowded, merchants from all over the country came and went to the business district, marveling at the same time thinking about buying a piece of land in the business district, those houses they didn't look at, what they really cared about was the value of the house, so many merchants gathered here, such a grand occasion is not inferior to other prosperous counties, they can not always live in the inn, so it affects their business.
Many inquiring businessmen were told that there were still many houses in the city's commercial area that were vacant, but they would not be sold, but would only be rented temporarily, and everything was at the disposal of the Taishou Mansion.
Immortal love is the ultimate goal, each merchant can only buy 5,000 yuan and it doesn't stump these shrewd merchants, they can let their subordinates buy again, so that the number of immortal love purchased is considerable.
Jia Rong still ignored the degree of Xianlian's popularity, in just three days, all the 100,000 Xianlian were sold out, and the later merchants were told to rest in the city for a few days before there was Xianlian, which strengthened the idea that most people thought that the owner of Xianlian Pavilion was in Jincheng County, otherwise Weishenme Xianlian would be able to reach Jincheng so quickly.
So many rich merchants are stranded in Jincheng County, just the daily expenses need a lot, the price of accommodation and meals in Jincheng County, including the price of some special products, has also been informed in advance to increase the price, so many rich merchants will lose money if they don't slaughter, since these merchants have come to Jincheng, they don't care so much, as long as they get enough Xianlian, these small money can be completely ignored.
The iron, fur, and grain brought by the merchant were preferentially exchanged by Jia Rong for Xianlian, which was undoubtedly telling the merchants that Jincheng County would buy these things, and the merchants who guessed this kind of news would not tell others about it, the shopping mall was like a battlefield, and telling others was to increase their competitiveness when buying.
Not only soap, Jia Rongshun also sold glycerin, after learning the efficacy and price of glycerin, many businessmen were very willing to buy, Xianlian is profitable, but there are more people who consume glycerin.
The coolest thing is Jia Rong, what he does every day is to wait for these merchants to come to the door, exchange the fairy love in his hand for the goods in the hands of the merchants, iron materials, feathers Jia Rong has collected a lot, and Jia Rong has also reached an agreement with many businessmen, and often maintains contact with Jincheng County in the future, and the merchants are flattered again and again.
These merchants were also numbered, in order of first come, first served to buy Xianlian, the craftsman workshop made Xianlian day and night, Jia Rong did not treat these workers badly, all gave them double wages, now the productivity of the craftsman workshop is still not enough, Jia Rong recruited a group of aspiring young people from the Qiang tribe to join the craftsman workshop, the patriarchs of the Qiang tribes heard about this and rushed to recommend the outstanding young people in the clan for Jia Rong.
With the support of the iron feathers brought by the merchants, the blacksmiths in the craftsman's workshop also began to operate their old business, a pair of armor was created, and now the military strength is enhanced, but most of the soldiers' weapons are miserable, and the armor on their bodies is not enough to see, what Jia Rong has to do is to unify the soldier's equipment, what kind of soldier wears what armor, completely according to the characteristics of the soldier to build, although the consumption of iron is an astronomical amount, Jincheng is now the most lacking is these, In order to curry favor with Jia Rong, some merchants even came to trade with a lot of iron.
The paper mill was built in full accordance with the specifications of the Dahan paper mill, and Jia Rong did not want to introduce the advanced jishu into the craftsman workshop for the time being, as long as the paper mill could be supplied to the use of Jincheng County, since the paper mill produced paper, the officials of the counties under its jurisdiction began to use rice paper instead of bamboo slips.
Now the most urgent thing is that the army still has the Xianlian Pavilion arranged in various counties, and excellent intelligence personnel must also be carefully selected.
Now the Xiliang Army has absorbed Li Wenhou's 20,000 people and Han Sui's original more than 10,000 people who stayed in the counties, and the military strength has reached an unprecedented peak, with 35,500 soldiers, including 6,000 cavalry, which is the result of Jia Rong's repeated reduction of cavalry, and one cavalry can feed four ordinary soldiers.
Excluding the soldiers stationed in the counties, there are 20,000 soldiers in the county, seeing such a large team, Jia Rong actually had the idea of wanting to disarm, there are more troops, and the burden on the people is heavy, although Jincheng County is now borne by Jia Rong with the strength of the Xiliang army.
For an army of 20,000 people, Jia Rong only planned to leave 15,000 people, and the standing cavalry of the county town should also reach 3,000 people, and the remaining 12,000 were infantry.
The next day, Jia Rong in military uniform appeared on the school field of Jincheng County, the school field is not large, accommodating 20,000 soldiers seems a little crowded, this time Jincheng County planning, the school field was placed in the middle of the Taishou Mansion and the business district.
Jia Rong's armor is also the latest iron armor, which makes people sound very loser, although it is not very rare but it is also rare, if they know that the weapons carried by the soldiers of the lone wolf force have all been replaced with iron.
The 20,000 soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands, their eyes were always staring at the figure that was walking towards the high platform, and the 20,000 people in the school field could be heard, and the iron armor that had just been built emitted a dazzling light under the illumination of the eyes, setting off Jia Rong's image even higher, like a god of war falling from the sky.
Now Jia Rong's voice among the soldiers is extremely high, whether it is the 20,000 Qiang soldiers of the previous Xiliang Army and Li Wenhou's department, or the soldiers who later captured every city, after getting along in the past few months, the admiration for Jia Rong is like a surging river.
The life of the Qiang tribe is good, the Qiang soldiers naturally return to their hearts, the soldiers of Xian Lingqiang see that the Qiang tribes like themselves are living a good life, and they have a faint expectation in their hearts for Jia Rong to subdue Xian Lingqiang, hoping that Jia Rong can defeat Han Sui as soon as possible and let Xian Lingqiang also vote in Jincheng.
Many of the Qiang people in the original Xiliang army found the original tribe, and their relatives were reunited, after the joy, these Qiang soldiers returned to the army one by one with high morale, before leaving, their families all persuaded them to work hard in the Xiliang army, the Qiang soldiers who died in the Xiliang army were all issued high pensions, these money is enough for an ordinary family to live for more than a few years, and many of the series of policies listed by the Taishou Mansion are aimed at the families of soldiers who died in battle, and the conditions are very superior, The people of Jincheng are very supportive of their children's enlistment.
Walking on the high platform, Jia Rong turned to face the 20,000 soldiers, saying that it is not a beautiful thing to be paid so much attention to him, he had never seen such a big scene in his previous life.
"These days, I have also seen the hard training of my brothers, as a soldier, you should have high morale and unyielding spirit, and you must have the spirit of not being afraid of death on the battlefield!" Jia Rong said in a firm tone.
