The next day, Lin Yuan followed Zhuge Liang's suggestion and began to recruit craftsmen in Xiangyang City.

Whether it is Wushan Town or Malan Village, construction is inseparable from craftsmen.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang's invention of the wooden ox flowing horse, Kong Ming lantern, and Zhuge repeater all require high-level craftsmen to make them.

This recruitment lasted for five days.

A total of 130 craftsmen were recruited before and after, but unfortunately, they were only some junior and intermediate craftsmen, and those senior craftsmen were not willing to leave Xiangyang City at all.

After all, who is willing to give up the prosperous life in Xiangyang City and survive in a mountain lump?

Niu Gao finally has a message.

So, Lin Yuan took the recruited craftsmen and the purchased grain and left Xiangyang City.

……

In the camp in the east of the city, Niu Gao has long been eager to see through.

"Great Commander, the last general has brought you the best flower carvings in Shaoxing!"

As soon as Lin Yuan stepped into the barracks, he shouted at the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Flower carving?"

Sure enough, Niu Gao was attracted out, looking at the old flower carving in Lin Yuan's hand, he was shocked.

"Good boy, it's really a flower carving!"

"How dare I lie to you!"

Lin Yuan threw the wine jar over and smiled.

Niu Gao's hobby is really satisfying.

This altar of flower carving was bought by him from the hands of an Inhuman player, who was born in Yangzhou Mansion and was directly teleported to Xiangyang City through the teleportation array between the prefectures and cities.

In fact, many players use teleportation arrays to travel around the world.

Of course, the price is also quite expensive.

The price of the teleportation array is 1 tael of gold for a single person to teleport.

The price of goods is the same person.

If a person carries a jar of wine and transmits it, he needs to charge 2 taels of gold.

Therefore, those who want to do business through the teleportation array are basically useless.

"Okay, what you want, the marshal has already allowed it, this is the list of weapons and ordnance, in addition, the marshal asked me to give you a message, he said that the Yue family army will be in trouble in the future, please help one or two."

Lin Yuan took the list and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the words passed by Yue Fei.

Could it be that Yue Fei already knew that he would be killed in the future and the Yue family's army would fall apart?

If an Inhuman player tells him where history is going, it's really possible.

Yue Fei's encounter, the danger of the Yue family's army, Lin Yuan will definitely not sit idly by, if it really comes to that point, he will definitely choose to help, of course, provided that he can live until that time.

"100 collars of gold lacquered iron armor (silver level), 1000 collars of step armor (silver level), 2000 pairs of Da Song Yun head boots (silver level), 1000 bronze helmets (silver level) of the Great Song Dynasty, 40 divine arm bows (silver level), 800 arrows, 400 birch bows (silver level), 8000 cone-head arrows, 100 high-quality war horses, 2000 handles of the Great Song Ring First Knife (Silver level), 200 Great Song Ring Guns (silver level), 100 handles of Fengzui knife (silver level), 1,000 Great Song Lion Shields (Silver Level), 2,000 Promotion Tokens for Second-Order Soldiers, 2,000 Promotion Tokens for Third-Order Soldiers, 100 Heavy Cavalry Transfer Certificates, 1,000 Heavy Infantry Transfer Certificates, 400 Heavy Armor Archer Transfer Certificates, and 40 Divine Arm Crossbowmen......"

On the list, a large number of equipment and equipment are listed.

This time, the amount is fully twice as large as the last time, enough to equip two battalions.

Yue Fei's idea was definitely to borrow Lin Yuan's hand to exterminate as many Zhongxiang rebels as possible, and the Yue family's army could also suffer a smaller loss in the future.

No matter what Yue Fei's intentions were, for Lin Yuan, this batch of preparations was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

After receiving the equipment and pulling the purchased 60,000 units of grain, the group went straight to Wushan Town.

On the way, Lin Yuan ordered Yuwen Chengdu to escort the supplies back to Wushan Town alone, while he himself took Zhuge Liang and went straight to Malan Village.

Wushan Village has developed into a second-class town, while Malan Village is still a third-level village.

Most of the villages you encounter along the way are of the third level.

Lin Yuan felt that it was necessary to speed up the construction and development of Malan Village.

When the group returned to Malan Village, it was already evening, and Cao Ru and Cao Shaoqing were both outside the village to greet them.

I haven't been back to the village for more than half a month, and the village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only have the various buildings been renewed, but the population has skyrocketed, and the number of caravans coming to the village has increased more than ten times compared to before.

After inquiry, I learned that Cao Shaoqing led a militia battalion to capture all the villages within a radius of 50 miles, and plundered all the people's money and grain here, just like the original Wushan Town.

Lin Yuan came to the center of the village and put his hand on the core stone tablet.

"Ding! System prompt: The village meets the upgrade conditions, is it upgraded? ”

"Level up!"

A burst of golden light fell, and Malan Village was upgraded to Malan Town.

"Ding! System Upgrade: Detects that the village meets the upgrade conditions, will it be upgraded? ”

"Level up!"

Another burst of golden light fell, and the newly changed Malan Town underwent new changes again.

However, it doesn't end there.

"Ding! System prompt: The village is detected to meet the upgrade conditions, is it upgraded? ”

"Level up!"

After a burst of golden light, Malan Town was upgraded to a third-level town.

There was no follow-up.

Lin Yuan checked the conditions for the promotion of a third-level town to a first-level county.

First, the population must reach 20,000;

Second, the prosperity of the town reaches 5000;

Thirdly, the lord's reputation reaches 2000 points;

Fourth, the popularity of the people in the territory reached 50.

Of the four conditions, Malan Town only met one of the people's wishes, and the other three were not met.

In the newly promoted town, all kinds of buildings in the village have to be upgraded again, and in addition to that, there are several new buildings that can be built.

[Primary Tea Workshop]: To produce tea, there is a 10% chance of producing cloud tea, and a 1% chance of producing Biluochun.

[Primary Ceramic Factory]: Producing porcelain, there is a 15% chance of purple porcelain, and a 2% chance of pure white porcelain.

[Primary Weaving Workshop]: The production of linen, silk, silk, has a 3% chance of fine silk, and a 0.1% chance of the best silk.

With weaving mills, ceramic factories, and tea mills, Malan Town can really have the ability to produce goods.

"Sir, how is this town?"

After upgrading Malan Town, Lin Yuan accompanied Zhuge Liang to patrol the town.

"Vibrant." Zhuge Liang said lightly.

"What advice does that gentleman have for the development of the town?"

"Don't dare." Zhuge Liang shook his fan and said, "Liang thinks that a commercial town is already extremely perfect to achieve this scale, and if the lord only wants to be a lord who guards the land, this town is more than enough to defend itself." ”

"If you have something to say, please say it clearly!"

Zhuge Liang paced half a step, "What does the lord think, what is the situation today?" ”

"Naturally, the imperial court is unified, the military and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty are united, and the day of the Northern Expedition can be expected!" Lin Yuan replied.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Lin Yuan's answer, Zhuge Liang just shook his head.

"Looking at today, there will be chaos soon!"

"Oh?" Lin Yuan's expression moved slightly.

There are rumors in the market that Zhuge Liang is familiar with the art of heavenly machines, does he really have insight into the future?

"Strangers come to this world, become lords, occupy one side and are not subject to the constraints of the imperial court, and the kings of other dynasties will also go into the wilderness one by one, and will plan a big event, and the Southern Song Dynasty court is in danger."

"So what should I do?"

"What the lord has to do is to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity."

"When?"

"I look at the momentum of Zhong Xiang Yang Mi, it has reached its peak, and Jiangling City will fall soon, when the time comes, the imperial court is bound to raise troops to counterattack, and the lord can send an elite army to mix in the imperial court's encirclement and suppression army, and wait until the last moment of the counteroffensive to occupy Jiangling City in one fell swoop, this is the best policy!"

"Occupy Gangneung City, the lord will protect himself!"

Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard this, but soon, he calmed down.

"It is impossible to occupy Jiangling City, the Yue family army is on the march, no one can occupy Jiangling City under Yue Fei's nose, and I don't want to fall out with the Yue family army yet."

"The occupation of Gangneung City is just a stopgap measure, and the purpose is to rob Gangneung City of the treasure resources." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"If Yue Fei stays outside Jiangling City, no one will want to remove half a penny from Jiangling City." Lin Yuan shook his head, feeling that something was wrong.

"I don't know what Mr. will do?"

was vetoed by Lin Yuan's first strategy, Zhuge Liang was not annoyed, but continued: "The idea of ordinary people is also to mix in the imperial army, and when they counterattack Zhongxiang's rebels, they will take advantage of it. But Liang's next strategy to the lord is that the lord wants to take advantage of Zhong Xiang's capture of Jiangling City, and his foothold is not stable, so he will directly take one step ahead of the court and capture Jiangling City! ”

"Shhh When Lin Yuan heard this strategy, he couldn't help but gasp, "Zhong Xiang can capture Jiangling City, and the number of rebels is definitely as high as hundreds of thousands, which is ...... How could I possibly beat them. ”

"If the lord believes me, please give me 1w army when the time comes, Liang has his own strategy to break the enemy, and dedicate Gangneung City to the lord."

"Good!"

Lin Yuan slapped his thigh directly, and he decided to take a risk.

And it is very necessary to take risks.

However, at this stage, the army in Lin Yuan's hands is only 5,000 people, and most of them are militiamen, which is embarrassing.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiang's rebels have not yet captured Gangneung City, and he still has time.
