An additional reward of 1 gold per month, or 100 taels of silver, can boost morale in such a way that it is well spent.

Wang Xuan, the commander of the legion, continued on the side: "Your Majesty, at present, the legion has about 1,800 people, and it is organized according to the system of the Shiwu, all of which are infantry. ”

Ren Tian snorted lightly, the military establishment in ancient times was basically the Shiwu system, in short, five people were in the army, and there was one army commander; The second army is what, and the chief is set up; Five tithes for the tun, set up a tun chief; Two tuns are hundreds, and one hundred generals are set up; five hundred, five hundred masters; a thousand, two or five hundred lords.

Centurion, thousand-year-on, that's basically how it came about.

On the school ground, in addition to completing daily training, all soldiers also have training to fight each other, and the training is also very varied.

Ren Tian got up, came directly to the open space of the camp, looked at the ordnance on the armament, picked up a spear at random, and saw the attributes on it, and was suddenly stunned.

Weapons: Bronze spears

Attributes: Damage 10-15

Description: A normal bronze spear.

Ren Tian looked at Wang Xuan: "Why are the weapons used in the Praetorian Guards still bronze weapons?" What about ironware? ”

"Your Majesty, there is no iron ore in the new country, and the supply of iron ore cannot be supplied, so it is impossible to use iron tools to make weapons, and if necessary, you have to purchase iron ore from neighboring countries."

Ren Tian was speechless for a while, how could the bronze fight with others?

He understands it now, and the beginning of the whole game is quite in the Spring and Autumn period.

"Pass the order, purchase a batch of iron ore, and first exchange all the weapons of the Praetorian Guard Legion with iron weapons!"

"Yes."

……

The emperor is not easy to be, and there are many things to worry about.

In fact, courtiers are sometimes not easy to be.

Fang Ren took several officials from Xinguo, followed a caravan, and quickly went to the neighboring county.

Linchuan County runs east-west, it seems to be a little narrow and long, it is in the plain area, to the east of Nanxian County, is Ping County, these two counties are of the new country, and on the edge of Ping County, it is Mi County.

Although the road was full of potholes, Fang Ren's speed was still very fast, and the most important thing was that Mi County was really not far away.

Soon, Fang Ren arrived in Mi County, took two small officials, and entered the Yamen of Mi County.

Mi County is currently in a state of freedom and independence, but it is not a country, and the person who governs Mi County is an official named Xie Dang.

"County Magistrate Xie."

Fang Ren Shili: "On behalf of His Majesty the new country, I came to negotiate with Mi County on trade. ”

Xie Dang's face was full of joy: "Xinguo and this county are both counties of the same origin, although this county is independent, but it is also the same brotherhood, presumably His Majesty Xinguo should also agree to continue trade, after all, Mi County is short of grain, and Xinguo is rich in grain storage." ”

"Xie County Order, it is true that my new country has rich grain storage, and I am willing to trade with Mi County, but my new country has recently ascended the throne and is vigorously repairing the city, which costs a lot of money, and even needs to use grain instead of wages, so the grain storage is not very rich."

Xie Dang frowned slightly: "Xinguo is unwilling to trade with Mi County? ”

"No, it's just that Your Majesty thinks that the price of Mi County's purchase of grain from the new country needs to be renegotiated."

Xie Dang heard this, his face was slightly cold: "What does this mean?" Does the new country still want to take the opportunity to raise the price? My Mi County has already purchased at the market price, which is very fair. ”

"Xie County Order, now Mi County is short of grain, according to the market price, naturally Mi County has made a price, I hope that the purchase price of Mi County can rise by 30%."

Floating three percent, is a stone 130 copper coins.

Xie Dang's face changed suddenly: "This is impossible, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

His face turned cold all of a sudden, and Fang Ren continued to persuade him.

It's just a pity that no matter how he persuaded him, Xie Dang's face was quite cold.

"Needless to say, Xinguo did such a thing, it really chilled me, this county and Xinguo are a strip of water, and it is the same origin of the county, I really didn't expect Xinguo not only to see death and not to save it, but even want to take advantage of the fire to rob, needless to say, even if my Mi County was robbed and starved to death by Qinglongzhai, I will not make this deal with Xinguo."

Fang Ren was a little anxious: "Xie County Order, in fact, the price is negotiable." ”

"Since it's easy to discuss, why don't I lower the original purchase price by 30%?"

Xie Dang sneered.

Not long after, Fang Ren came out of the county office with a depressed expression, he never thought that it would collapse like this!

Originally, in his expectation, even if Xie Dang didn't agree, in fact, he could continue to negotiate, the purchase price was like a tug-of-war, the two sides would negotiate, and then finalize the satisfactory figure, but he didn't expect that Xie Dang directly refused.

He couldn't figure out why Xie Dang refused, you must know that Mi County only relies on Xinguo, if you want to buy grain, you can only buy it from Xinguo, the south is the river, there is Qinglongzhai in the north, and the Tuan County in the east is not very developed, and it is also in the scope of Qinglongzhai looting.

As long as he thought that he had not fulfilled His Majesty the Emperor's instructions, and even that he had stabbed such a big basket on the first day he had entered the court, Fang Ren could expect that his political career would be bleak.

The two little officials who followed Fang Ren didn't say a word.

Fang Ren frowned, he remembered Ren Tian's words in the court before.

"Forget it, you two will spread the news first."

Fang Ren said something in front of the two little officials, and the two little officials nodded and hurriedly dispersed.

As for Fang Ren, he simply waited opposite the county office, he was also hopeless, thinking in his heart how to deal with the emperor's anger after he went back.

This time, not only did the trade not succeed, but even made the relationship between Mixian and Xinguo so stiff, I am afraid that it will not end well.

Fang Ren thought distraughtly, he was sitting in the teahouse opposite the county office, pouring tea while waiting for the results of the two little officials.

I don't know how long I waited, from morning to afternoon, the two little officials did not come back, like this kind of needle in a haystack, it is indeed quite difficult.

"It's over, it seems that I can't find a way to get His Majesty to pardon me."

Fang Ren furrowed his brows, and at this moment, a small official hurriedly entered the teahouse.

"Master Fang, we have found someone."

"Oh?"

Fang Ren's eyes lit up: "Who?" ”

The little official got out of the way, only to see a person coming from outside the teahouse.

This person is ordinary-looking, wearing a turban, wearing an ordinary outfit, his eyes are bright, and his temperament is extremely extraordinary.

The man came to Fang Ren and looked at Fang Ren, who was also looking at him.

"But what you say is true?"

Fang Ren smiled slightly: "Of course, as long as Your Excellency is a real talent, you will naturally be deeply appreciated by Your Majesty." ”

The man also smiled slightly: "In that case, lead the way, I am very interested in the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard." ”
