Chapter 118: The Learning of Spending Money

Xiao Wu once asked Zhang Yi why he had to let Zhou Xian come to Hedong County, Zhang Yi explained that his career was fundamentally inseparable from Zhou Xian's letter at the beginning and thousands of taels of gold, Zhang Yi was afraid that when the world was in chaos in the future, Zhou Xian would be affected by the troubled times, plus Zhou Wu's reasons, so Zhang Yi wanted to take Zhou Xian to Hedong County.

With Xiao Wu's wisdom, I believed Zhang Yi's reason after listening to it, but Zhang Yi's reason could also deceive Xiao Wu, in fact, when Zhang Yi made this decision, Sima Wei immediately guessed Zhang Yi's true purpose, and even Huang Zhong roughly guessed what Zhang Yi wanted to do, Zhang Yi was afraid that Zhou Xian would be affected, but it was more because of the money in Zhou Xian's hand.

As soon as Zhou Xian arrived in Anyi, Zhang Yi took the initiative to give Zhou Xian a mansion that was originally in Chen Yu's name and now under his name, and also gave Zhou Xian dozens of hectares of land under his name at one time, and Zhou Xian naturally would not ask Zhang Yi for so many benefits for no reason, so Zhang Yi naturally got more than 40,000 taels of gold.

In addition, before Zhang Yi left Anyi, he also asked Sima Wei to sell another part of the land under his name to the businessmen led by Dian Heng and vigorously supported Zhang Yi on the issue of displaced people, so Zhang Yi got more than 20,000 taels of gold, and after hearing that Zhang Yi sold the land to a few merchants, other merchants couldn't sit still, and came to the door to buy land from Zhang Yi, but they were all sent away by Sima Wei for various reasons.

The reason why those businessmen came to the door and wanted to buy land from Zhang Yi was because in ancient times, businessmen wanted to transform, get rid of the identity of merchants, and only have land in their hands, so buying land was the only way to transform, but at that time, land was also the most important thing for the scholars, and ordinary people wanted to buy land even if they had more money, they couldn't buy it at all, because most of the land was in the hands of the scholar bureaucrats, or the gentry related to the scholar bureaucrats, and they all regarded the land as their life, and they couldn't buy it at all without any means.

Therefore, when Zhou Xianyi released the news of selling the land, he sold half of the land he occupied in Nanyang in less than two days, and the 20,000 taels of gold that Sima Wei went to Luoyang also came from this.

(The transformation of buying land was heard from a teacher in the Hundred Pulpits, but the information was not found)

Sima Wei brought 20,000 taels of gold to Luoyang, but after arriving in Luoyang, Sima Wei did not go to the Shaofu of the chief military quartermaster to find the quartermaster, but first went to Zhao Zhong, and then went to Zhang Rang, and then went back to the inn directly, and then never went out again.

Although Sima Wei never went out again, he was informed in less than three days that the purchase of ordnance had been completed, and Zhao Zhong also sent 3,000 forbidden troops to escort those soldiers to Hedong County, which even saved the money for escorting them.

After those armors arrived in Zhang Yi's hands, Zhang Yi was happy, because the original 20,000 taels of gold could only buy armor and weapons for 5,000 people, but in the end, the amount he saw doubled, and according to Sima Wei's words, those equipment were just prepared for the northern army stationed in the north to defend Xianbei and the Xiongnu, that is to say, the armor in his hand was almost the best armor that the Han Dynasty could make at that time.

After learning about Sima Wei's ways and means of purchasing ordnance, Chen Lin was ashamed and angry, he was ashamed that he did not have Sima Wei's sleek and shrewd work, and he was annoyed by the decadent dynasty of Dahan, and Zhang Yi knew Sima Wei's ways and means of purchasing ordnance, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

The defective products that Chen Lin bought back were all sent to the forging institute by Zhang Yi, although most of the equipment was unusable, but it still had use value, first, the craftsmen of the forging institute could find the deficiencies from the armor damaged by the battle, so as to make better and stronger armor; The second is that those armors are not completely unusable, Zhang Yi found a lot of skillful women from the homeless villages, and after promising them a certain amount of wages, let them bother more, and those armors can still be re-equipped.

As for those damaged blades, they just need to be rebuilt, after all, the materials of those blades are always good.

Now that Zhang Yi has sufficient food and salary, his goal is more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, before due to the lack of money and food, Zhang Yi can only be rather scarce than excessive, but now that there is more money and food in his hand, Zhang Yi has lowered the standard of conscription, and at the same time, the treatment of soldiers has been greatly improved, but at present, with Zhang Yi's rights, he can only give more money, because the policy of tax reduction and exemption is a national decree, and only the Son of Heaven can promulgate it.

In addition to recruiting young adults in Hedong County, Zhang Yi's conscription order was also issued to many counties that did not belong to his sphere of influence, most of which were merged with the state, which inevitably had to deal with Ding Yuan, the assassin of the state, and Zhang Yi's previous imperial order was to go to the state to suppress bandits, so in the more than half a month after the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yi also sent people to visit Ding Yuan and inquire about the situation of the state.

And Ding Yuan also sent people to urge Zhang Yi to raise troops to suppress bandits, but Zhang Yi delayed again and again, and his purpose was very simple, because he felt that the combat power of his soldiers was still very weak, and Ding Yuan, the iron rooster, had never promised him any benefits, and even Zhang Yi bought unprocessed pig iron from him, he still had to collect it at the original price, and the only time he supported Zhang Yi with a thousand military horses, Zhang Yi bought it after raising it by three percent on the basis of the original price, and it was precisely for these reasons that Zhang Yi has not moved. No matter what Ding Yuan urges, he just doesn't send a single soldier.

In the east camp, a group of soldiers lined up neatly into a long snake formation, but they lined up not to practice the formation, but to exercise their courage, at this time opposite them, five hundred cavalry divided into two columns, has been roaring towards them, seeing the cavalry closer and closer to themselves, the hearts of those soldiers are all raised to their throats, but no one escaped, because once they escaped, they will face cruel military regulations.

"Whew~"

With a gust of wind blowing, the five hundred cavalry almost whistled past the arms of those soldiers, and the faces of those soldiers could even feel the heat from the horse's nose, and when the two teams of cavalry passed, half of the hundred soldiers collapsed to the ground, and some of them were even frightened, but fortunately, no one was scared to pee their pants.

Seeing that someone was stunned, Zhang Fei, who had always had a bad temper, suddenly shouted: "Drag down all those scared and fainted cowards for me, and beat them up ...... one person."

"Yide," stopped Zhang Fei, who wanted to punish the soldiers, Zhang Yi walked up to him and said to him solemnly: "Do you still want to be locked up in a small black room again?" ”

As soon as he heard the words of the little black house, several generals around Zhang Yi who had entered shrank their necks, and Zhang Fei shook his head like a rattle. (To be continued.) )
