Shaolan felt bitter in her mouth.

Therefore, if he does not come up with an answer that satisfies Momiji, it proves that he has lost his eyes.

In order to save his face, he will ......, and he can't imagine what kind of tragic fate he will have.

The brain was spinning at great speed, and Shaolan soon had an immature idea.

"Now you can't expand the territory of the Momiji clan at all, you are not a baron. I think what you should do now is to plump up your wings, and strengthen your base. ”

Momiji nodded with satisfaction, "Please elaborate." ”

"The most important thing is to have full wings, and only by making sure that you are the next baron can you lead the Momiji clan on the journey as you wish. If you don't become the next baron, it's all over. ”

"It makes sense, what about strengthening the foundation?"

"Strengthening the foundation is relatively vague, including accumulating armaments, grain and grass, training the army, raising the level of grain production, and so on.

Strengthening the foundation will not only increase your chances of succeeding to the baron, but also speed up the goal of foreign conquests. ”

"It makes sense." Red Leaf Inflammation nodded with satisfaction, "Do you have any detailed plans?" ”

Shaolan spread her hands, "I grew up in Muyi, and I have a dark eye on the situation in Red Leaf City, and besides, I'm only eight years old, maybe a little clever, but just a little clever. ”

Red Leaf Yan thought about it really made sense, and he didn't force it, "I originally wanted to play in this Red Leaf City for a few more days, but now I want to start cultivating party henchmen quickly, and you go to my fiefdom with me tomorrow."

I will tell you half of my fiefdom. ”

Shaolan wanted to refuse, but Momibutyl didn't give him a chance to refuse.

After repeatedly confirming that Hongye Yan really divided half of his fiefdom, Shaolan was overjoyed.

The fief of Hongyeyan is 2,000 acres of land centered on Wuyi, which can produce five or six thousand stones of grain, half of which is two or three thousand stones, which is about the same as the entire Muyi.

The excitement made Shaolan's brain more active, and he noticed a problem.

"Why do you want to cultivate fiefdoms when cultivating henchmen?"

Hongye Yan was stunned for a moment, "Shouldn't you go back to the fiefdom to recruit soldiers to practice day and night?" ”

Shaolan scratched her head, it seemed that she had overestimated the red leaf inflammation.

"That's training the army, not cultivating henchmen. Rough training of the army will attract the attention of others and become the target of public criticism.

The so-called henchmen can win over people from other cities close to you, the current baron's attendants, concubines, and officers guarding the door, and people who can help you inherit the position of baron.

Even if it's not for you, it can be you with the help of these people. ”

Hongye Yan was dumbfounded, Shao Lan's words broke through his imagination and three views.

"I understand, I'll think about it, you go down and rest first."

"No!"

Shaolan stepped back and became familiar with the mansion, while also beginning to seriously consider his future.

As Shaolan himself said, he may be a little clever and have vision, but what he can't do is not what he can't.

For example, farming, marching and fighting, such as laws, and so on.

In his previous life, Shaolan was just an ordinary person, and his ability naturally would not be outstanding, so he refused to compete with the top people from other countries.

However, after thinking about it again, Shaolan found that it was not a bad thing to do things for Hongye Yan, he could take this opportunity to exercise his ability, and when his ability was stronger, he would be treated better when he went to other countries.

After making up his mind, Shaolan seriously thought about cultivating party members.

Many things are easier said than done, and Shaolan is ready to start with espionage.

The first step is to form a rudimentary intelligence network to exercise ability, which is not very demanding, and collect information on Momiji City.

Shaolan found the carpenter and told the carpenter about his request, and the carpenter agreed, as a businessman, he knew many people.

After all, this is Red Leaf City, and the first element of forming an intelligence network here is secrecy and security.

Otherwise, if Baron Momiji knew about it, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After carefully selecting a few developable targets, Shaolan followed the carpenter and started to act, ready to accumulate experience.

It was only after contacting the target that Shaolan sadly found that she was facing three problems.

First, the other party is illiterate, and the literacy rate is really low in this era of cheating.

Second, in addition to dictation, although it can also be transmitted in writing, it is only written on silk cloth or parchment at a high price.

If you want to be cheap, you can use bamboo slips, but the speed is ......, and the bamboo slips are heavy and not easy to hide.

As for the paper? It was a rare item, and Shaolan had never seen it.

And carrier pigeons haven't appeared yet.

Third, it is difficult to develop members and it is also difficult to obtain information, this is an era of information blockage, and it is an era of clans, outsiders run to Xiaoyi, it is too conspicuous, and you don't know where to sew the original members of development.

Although Momiji Castle can develop a few members, they are all marginal figures, and it is a dream to get important information.

You can only get some bits and pieces of neighborhood.

The results of a hard day made Shaolan very frustrated.

The next day, early in the morning, Hongye Yan recruited Shaolan for a meeting, and the two previous little followers also participated.

Red Leaf Inflammation is officially introduced to both parties, and the chubby boy is named Tuhao, and he is Red Leaf Inflammation's cousin in terms of relationship.

Another boy named Shizhu is a distant cousin of Red Leaf Inflammation in terms of relationship.

They are all the same as Shaolan, the sons-in-law of the lord of the city.

"You are all my henchmen and humerus to rely on, and I have summoned you today to discuss the formation of an army loyal to me."

……

It's the army again, and Red Leaf Inflammation likes the army too much.

"I can convince my family to have 30 people."

"My family can produce 35 people."

The two parted ways, then looked at Shaolan, waiting for his answer.

Momiya nodded with satisfaction.

Shaolan is not satisfied, and she still wants to leave her own family?

Shaolan had a voice as his mind turned, "I don't think it's appropriate." ”

"What did you say?" The local tyrant glared angrily.

"Don't worry, Mu Lan, tell me why."

"Yes!" Shaolan said, "I heard that you have two brothers, both in their twenties?" ”

"Not bad." Red Leaf Inflammation didn't understand how Shaolan got involved in this.

"With all due respect, what we can think of may not be unexpected, if you recruit now, I am afraid that you will be feared, and because of your shallow foundation, you will be targeted."

"Then we won't recruit soldiers? Isn't that to be slaughtered? ”

"Soldiers still have to be recruited, why don't you directly recruit Chinese people of the same age as you in Red Leaf City?"

"There are three major advantages to this, one is to lower the vigilance of others, children are weak, and they think you are just there to play."

"The second is that there are no constraints from other clans, they are completely loyal to you, and you can do whatever you say."

"The third is to cultivate from a young age to always be more loyal than adults, and you can be appointed and dismissed as an officer in the future, so that you can control the army for you and let you sit back and relax."

"Okay." Red Yeyan excitedly slapped the case, this is the loyal minister he longs for, "Just according to what you say, form an army." ”

Since then, the historical trajectory of the Momiji clan has shifted, albeit slightly.
