When the formation of the navy was put on the agenda, the craftsman workshop began to be busy again, Jia Rong is ruthless to form a strong navy, it is best to go to sea to conquer the island country, the most important warship building, Jia Rong decided that the appearance of the building ship is all made of steel, in the eyes of people in this era, iron is to sink in the water, I don't understand what the role of such a building ship is.

Jia Rong only made a slight modification to the drawings of the building ship sent by Zhou Tai, and then ordered the craftsman workshop to build it, as well as the battlefield of the warship, which was used to charge the battle, and naturally it should be well-built, the sea water is very corrosive, and building too many warships will only become a burden for the Xiliang army.

Tens of thousands of craftsmen began to build day and night, and the money stored in the warehouse also flowed outward like flowing water.

Fortunately, there was no war in the Xiliang Army, and all development was on the right track.

Jia Rong didn't seem to want all the money to be paid by the Liangwang Mansion, and openly began to recruit funds, called the formation of a naval army to defend the homeland, and the families of ordinary people, merchants, and officials could donate money, no matter how much, the money donated should also be made public, so that the people could see it.

The officials of Chang'an are a little puzzled in the face of such a situation, it is said that the formation of a naval army should be a very confidential matter, weishenme wants to openly ask for money from the merchants, the common people and the official family, and it follows the principle of voluntariness, can it really be voluntary? If the merchant did not donate money, would he feel comfortable? It is unknown whether doing business in the city will be fearful, and under such unknown fear, merchants prefer to choose to spend money, and only need to hand over some money to buy peace of mind, why not.

The people have an inexplicable trust in the Liangwang Mansion, and many people even donated a little of their family property, in order to let the water army be established, they don't know what team the water army is, but they know that their happy life is defended by the Xiliang army, and it is the result of the army's hard work outside.

Jia Rong's purpose in doing this is to let the people under the rule of the Xiliang Army have a sense of responsibility, that is, the development of the army is not unrelated to you, when the enemy comes, you have to pay when you should pay, instead of bent on what you want to do Taiping people, when you see the war began to ignite, you will flee in embarrassment, only let the people pay enough effort, he will have a deep feeling for the army and the city, and have a strong sense of belonging. Such a change in thinking needs to be carried out slowly and cannot be achieved overnight.

The people contributed the least money, but it was to implement Jia Rong's purpose in the big way, and the amount of money paid by the businessman was secondary, Jia Rong categorically would not let the businessman leave Chang'an just because you donated less money, or maybe the businessmen of the Han Dynasty were used to being exploited and did not adapt to this too democratic life.

At this time, there were nearly two million people under the rule of the Xiliang Army, and the donated money reached more than 300 million, such a amount, even Jizhou's annual income may not be so much, but Jia Rong is an edict, and he collected so much money lightly.

When the Liangwang Mansion announced the amount, not only Chang'an was shocked, the world was shocked, 320 million money, the princes knew that the people and businessmen of Chang'an were very rich, but they did not expect that they would be willing to donate money to let the Xiliang army use it to form an army, 320 million, when Yuan Shao heard this amount, his face was full of surprise, and then he was unwilling, the Yuan family has always been the pillar of the family, but it is not as good as Jia Rong, who was born as a military general, Jizhou for two years, I am afraid it is difficult to have so much money, and Jia Rong is just a sentence to complete, do you still need to fight with the Xiliang Army in the future, the other party will stone you to death with money.

Xiliang Army once again showed its hideous side, unparalleled cohesion, the suffering people came to Chang'an, they had nothing, they can't forget how they have now, everyone even donated half of their family property, maybe the hundreds of dollars are not a lot, with today's 320 million.

Not only the princes, but also the officials of Chang'an were also very surprised, but when they saw that Jia Rong was still calm and light, and everything was expected, they realized that they had gathered the displaced people and done so many things for the people back then, waiting for the day when there would be a return, and this was just the beginning.

The merchants' donations were the largest, no matter which state or county they came from in the Han Dynasty, the interests at this time were closely related to the Xiliang army.

Not only the cohesion of the people, Jia Rong also needs to get the cohesion of businessmen, war is a huge money-burning machine, why not mobilize the enthusiasm of businessmen, let them experience the pleasure of profiting from war.

Jia Rong secretly summoned the famous merchants in the city, and discussed the strategy that was very important for the future battle of the Xiliang army in Fenglailou, how to earn the money and materials in the hands of the princes.

As we all know, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is unparalleled in the world, not only the quality of the soldiers, but also the equipment, the equipment of the Xiliang Army, try to ask which princes in the world do not yearn for, and the businessmen can seize the mentality of the princes, sell weapons to the princes, sell war horses, obtain their iron materials, and sell them to the craftsman workshop to continue to build weapons, in this way, the craftsman workshop is not only the Xiliang Army's burning treasury, but will become the largest rich man, refining refined steel, for the Central Plains is still very unfamiliar, as long as such weapons are taken out, He Chou can't set off a shopping frenzy in the Central Plains, in order to improve his own strength, the princes will not care about the cost of money, just like Yuan Shao, Jia Rong just sold some of the weapons eliminated by the Xiliang army, and easily obtained a lot of money.

Of course, these weapons are not the most haode, maybe more than 20 of the hundred steels, but in the hands of the princes, they are rare good weapons, with small consumption, to obtain big benefits.

This matter is very important, Jia Rong handed over the Wei family and the Mi family to be responsible, the veteran in the shopping mall, it seems a lot easier to do such a thing, but in a few months, many princes were surprised to find that there were merchants selling weapons in their territory, called Xiliang Weapons Shop, but everything that can be named Xiliang is very attractive, thinking that there is an invincible Xiliang army in this world.

Of course, the weapons on the bright side are high-quality products, but they are far from enough, they want to trade with the princes, so that the princes will willingly take out the money and raw materials in their hands to trade, and the weapons on the bright side are naturally provided to the family, the princes need strong strength, and the same is true of the family, in the troubled times, the strength of the family should not be underestimated, and their money and wealth add up to ten princes who rule them.

After Yuan Shao saw Jia Rong's fundraising behavior under his rule, he also yearned for it, and showed an edict to let his officials raise funds in the class, but the result of zuihou was a little bleak, only 10 million money, or many businessmen gave Yuan Shao face, as for the people, unless they were forced to the head, they would not be willing to take out the money in their hands and hand it over to the Jizhou army. And openly resisted, so that more bandits and robbers appeared.

The Xiliang Army's large-scale efforts to form a naval army are spread all over the world, in fact, these money can't create many things, the most important thing is to let the people find a sense of achievement.

Zhou Tai heard the news that the Xiliang Army was going to form a navy again, he was very excited, he was the commander of the Xiliang Army and the navy, thinking about the reconstruction of the navy all the time, he had paid so much effort to be burned, his heart was not dripping blood, he had been in the Jingzhou navy, and gradually he also found a lot of things that he had not thought of before, he was confident that if the navy was formed again, the combat effectiveness would become stronger, and it was not a problem to surpass the Jingzhou navy and the Jiangdong army.

Zhou Tai is strong in martial arts, bold, and easily won the favor of the generals in the army, even Cai Mao and Zhang Yun also trust him, of course, there is too much estrangement between Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Zhou Tai does not want to get involved in the disputes between the Jingzhou family, and he is like a fish in water between the generals, otherwise he will not get the building boat map of the Jingzhou Navy Army.

Jiang Qin, who was in Jiangdong, secretly kept in touch with Zhou Tai.

Today's Jingzhou Navy and Jiangdong Navy Army, looking at the world, no one can stand out, and when the Xiliang Navy grows up.

For the formation of the Xiliang Army Naval Army, the reactions of various places are different, Liu Biao is laughing, Sun Quan is puzzled, the iron cavalry on land is the king, in the water, can they still remain invincible, if they learn that the Zhoutai Water Village is the Xiliang Water Army, they will definitely laugh at it, and the vigilance in their hearts will collapse instantly.

The contempt and incomprehension of the princes do not represent the thoughts of the people under the rule of the Xiliang Army, and one of the things they are most concerned about now is the Xiliang Water Army, which has a blind trust in Jia Rong or the Liangwang Mansion.

This trust has been earned over the years.

In the palace of King Liang, Gan Ning knelt on the ground and cried: "My lord." ”

Jia Rong stood on the top, standing still, as if he was remembering something, while Gan Ning knelt on the ground, worried in his heart.

After a long time, Jia Rong sighed: "Get up." ”

With all his strength, Gan Ning stood up.

"What happened back then, let's go in the past, no one will embarrass you, practice well for the navy to fight on the water in Japan, and let the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army see the demeanor of the Xiliang Army."
