As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first.

After solving the biggest problem of the development plan, Jiang Kongming set his sights on grain and grass again.

Back then, when Emperor Xian of Han led a large army to besiege the city, the Caesar people still knew how to loot land and hoard grain and grass. So how could Jiang Kongming not know the reason.

It's just that this grain and grass is no better than money, and it can't grow without a certain amount of time.

So if you want to hoard in the short term, there are only two ways according to normal means, one is to increase the tax amount, and the other is to buy at a high price.

The first method was resolutely rejected by Xu Haifeng at the same time as Jiang Kongming proposed it. At this moment, it is the time to buy people's hearts, how can they do this angry thing.

The second method requires a lot of money to support, at the beginning, Xu Haifeng was just a small fight, until the smuggled products of Wolong City became famous all over the world, Xu Haifeng began to buy boldly.

Of course, there is also a way to hoard a large amount of grain and grass, or even money, in the short term. That is to do business without capital - robbery.

Within the first six months, Xu Haifeng's Black Flag Army, under the leadership of Jebe, crossed the border many times, and plundered the Caesars day and night.

Under the blows of their wolf-like soldiers, those villages and towns that did not take strict precautions suffered a great blow, and they were like blood-sucking locusts, able to drain every drop of people's blood. Wherever they passed, the chickens and dogs were not left. Even if it is something that cannot be taken away, they will burn it to the ground.

Of course, they are not a victim of human life, as long as the person who is being robbed does not resist, they only rob the property and do not harm human life. But when they met resistance, Jebe would order a killing spree, leaving nothing behind.

Because of the speed and stamina of the Blood Horses, they could fight alone for a long time, often staying in Caesar's territory for half a month to a month before returning with a full load.

The Caesars, who had been robbed of their food and burned down their houses, were so hungry and cold that they had no choice but to go to the city to seek help. At first, the number of people was small, but after a few months, the influx of victims exceeded the city's capacity.

This was Jiang Kongming's intention, instead of killing them all, it was better to add some hungry people to them, the more hungry people meant more trouble, and sometimes, the destructive power of these unarmed people was far greater than that of a heavily armed army.

Upon learning of the situation, the Chief Executive ordered an all-out pursuit.

However, no matter how many times they organized the encirclement and suppression activities. However, the team of no more than 200 men led by Jebe perfectly executed the guerrilla tactics taught by Jiang Kongming, and always came and went like the wind, never giving the Caesar people a chance to take advantage of it.

Just as the magistrate there was suffering from a headache, the bandits disappeared without a trace, much to his surprise and delight.

It's just that his happiness is only more than ten years of kung fu, and countless rogues have been found in various places, they are well-equipped and have superb riding skills, although they can't compare with the team that came and went without a trace, but the number of people is several times more. The harm caused is not in the slightest under the Black Flag Army.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Julius Caesar for help, and it was not until Caesar's regular army arrived that the bandits retreated, but by that time, the economic losses suffered by Caesar were large enough to cause any headache.

They didn't know that at this time, Xu Haifeng's smuggled products were already selling well on the mainland, and the money recovered in each day was enough to cover all expenses, so they disdained to continue to do this act of stealing chickens and dogs.

Moreover, Jebe has more responsibilities on his shoulders and can no longer go on the expedition, without the soul of Jebe, the other blood and wine warriors will only carry out simple orders, and it is naturally impossible to use the guerrilla tactics flexibly.

Xu Haifeng originally planned to give up the operation to continue to harass, but at this time, the 5,000 Red Ocean reinforcements led by Xiang Ming arrived, and Jiang Kongming immediately started a class to teach the apprentices, teaching guerrilla tactics, and the 5,000 cavalry began a new round of plundering operations in batches.

The Caesars, who encountered this tactic for the first time, were at a loss for what to do, and there was no better way than to keep increasing reinforcements.

When Xiang Ming sensed that the growing strength of the Caesars had posed enough threat to his troops, he ordered an end to the plundering and returned to Wolong City to wait for the moment of decisive battle.

In addition to these military actions, Jiang Kongming also put forward a number of other long-term plans.

That is to increase the yield of crops, and if you want to achieve this goal, you naturally need to personally guide him, the all-knowing Jiang Dajunshi.

Jiang Kongming gathered a group of farmers who had been farming for many years and were well-known in the village to hold a banquet and ask them a question: "May I ask you, how can we double the yield of wheat?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to answer.

Jiang Kongming smiled and said: "It is okay to hybridize grain crops." ”

At that time, it was already three rounds of drinking, and a drunk man couldn't help but retort: "Is it better to have a mongrel than a purebred?" ”

Everyone was discolored, and they all pinched a handful of cold sweat, afraid that Jiang Kongming would be angry for a while, and cut him under the knife, then he would become a vain ghost.

Who knows, Jiang Kongming didn't care, but ordered to open up two fields with similar conditions in the east of the city.

Let this person be in charge of one of the pieces, and he will direct some people to be in charge of the other. A few years later, Jiang Kongming's hybrid wheat was far superior in yield and quality. Eventually, the farmers were convinced and accepted the new farming methods he taught.

However, this measure will not be effective in the short term, and it will not be expected to achieve results without a few years of effort. If it weren't for Jiang Kongming's high position and power, he might not be able to persevere.

In addition, the three great families of Jiang Kongmingtuo searched for those Persian merchants who came from far and wide in Beijing. While trading liquor with them, he promised them a lot of money and asked them to search for a very easy crop on another continent.

A few months later, the Fang family replied that a Persian merchant had seen the kind of crop he had spoken of, but it was in a very distant place, and the ruler of that continent was a people who called themselves ants. Although the merchant agreed to go under the lure of heavy profits, God knows how much time it will take.

After Jiang Kongming heard this, he opened his mouth unusually wide, couldn't close it half-loudly, and muttered to himself: "Ants? How can there be such a people? It's not going to be a miracle to disappear from the Maya......

Xu Haifeng didn't have any hope for this matter, on the vast sea, he didn't know how many dangers were hidden, and if he wanted to go back and forth to the two continents, how could it be so easy to do.

Besides, now that the war is about to break out, even if they come back, it will definitely be after this battle.

In addition to money and food, various minerals are also necessary military supplies.

The weapon armor diagram designed by Jiang Kongming, the engineer team led by the Su family's craftsmen rushed to work all night.

Jiang Dajun disliked them for being too slow, so he introduced the principles and processes of assembly operations into the engineering team.

It seems that in an instant, the engineering team is full of vitality, and new full-body armor is constantly being produced from the assembly line, and in addition to human armor, there are also horse armors with novel designs.

Su Chunwei once raised objections, although the total amount of these armors is much lighter than the heavy armor of the Caesars, but the weight of the horse armor is definitely not light, and the heavy cavalry composed of them may not be the opponent of the Caesar because the number is too small, it is better to give up the heavy cavalry and make every effort to build a light cavalry that is not inferior to the Hun Golden Wolf Army.

Xu Haifeng laughed after hearing this, and did not accept his suggestion, but insisted on going his own way, which made Su Chunwei sigh.

For Su Chunwei, who didn't know the existence of the blood horse, it was rare for him to be able to make such a suggestion, although Xu Haifeng did not adopt it, his evaluation of him in his heart was on a higher level.

In this way, every day, with Wolong City as the center, countless merchants gathered, some of them to sell liquor and smuggled goods from Caesar and the Xiongnu, knowing the kind of huge profits contained in it, and some to transport grain, medicine and minerals.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

In short, in just half a year, Wolong City has become countless times more prosperous than before on the surface.

The circulation of merchants benefited all the industries in the city, especially the hotels.

Xu Haifeng took advantage of this opportunity to reduce the entry tax by one percent, which won the favor of all merchants and made the merchants come and go more frequently.

The large flow of people and goods brought Xu Haifeng endless income, and this unexpected joy greatly reduced his financial burden.

Xu Haifeng took Wolong City as his home, vigorously recruited troops and horses, and hoarded grain and grass.

If it was peacetime, he acted so upright and bright, he would have been put on a big hat of deliberate rebellion by the superintendent of the imperial history, and even if he didn't die, he would have to shed a layer of skin.

It's just that now is an extraordinary moment, and Emperor Han Xian and the Cheng family not only have no intention of pursuing it, but they are constantly supporting him in secret, opening the door for him everywhere. made him like a fish in water, and his strength couldn't help but expand.

During this time, Xu Haifeng had a smooth life, and he was so unhappy.

Even Grandmaster Auburn gave up his intention to continue pestering and returned to Caesar.

It's not that Auburn doesn't want to continue the assassination, but he senses the spiritual power deliberately exuded by Taiyi Zhenren, and knows that Xu Haifeng is guarded by such a top master. If he wants to do it again, I'm afraid that it will be a meat bun beating a dog -- there will be no return.

Now that Oban is leaving, Xu Haifeng no longer has any scruples.

According to Xu Haifeng's meaning, he originally wanted to take his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law into the palace to live.

But as soon as Father Xu heard that this was originally the palace of Tufan Kingdom, he immediately turned around and left, and even Xu Haifeng wore out his mouth, but he still refused to come here.

Even at his insistence, the elder brother, who was originally a little excited, was forced to dispel the idea of tasting the emperor's ordinary life.

Xu Haifeng had no choice but to change the old parents to a larger yard, and invited a few handy maids to serve the old man and his brother. Of course, the safety of the family is also the top priority, several teams of soldiers and horses are waiting outside the courtyard day and night, if people who don't know see it, they think it is the mansion of a powerful person.

After solving the problems of money, food, and materials, Xu Haifeng had to face how to expand the armament war.

And at this moment, two pieces of news came, which couldn't help but make him happy and worried.
