After Wei Cong left, only Jiang Lan was left walking alone on Tiantai Street, looking at the bustling Tiantai County, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, Jiang Lan was like watching the children he brought up, and from time to time there were small merchants and vendors next to him to greet Jiang Lan and deliver food. Jiang Lan couldn't refuse, so he had to take the apple handed over by an aunt, and walked forward while nibbling, gradually falling into deep thought.

It's been three years since I came to this world, from the beginning of not having enough to eat, wandering around with the homeless, to settling down in Tiantai County, leading the homeless people to do bandit trading, and getting the first pot of gold, although it is not glorious, but saving life in this troubled world is the king. He was elected by the people as the commander of Tiantai County, led the people of the county, reclaimed wasteland, and privately traded with the Beiyan caravan, which slowly made Tiantai County the richest county in the north. I didn't have any ambitions, I wanted to eat and wait for death in this Tiantai County to live my own small life.

But this troubled times are not forgiving, although Tiantai County is rich, but if the war resumes, Tiantai County will not have enough strength to protect itself in front of the army of the Southern Qin Dynasty or the army of Northern Yan.

Especially in the first two days, Beiyan only had a thousand cavalry to besiege the city, and he almost let himself finish playing, it seems that he must strengthen his strength, at least he must protect himself in this troubled era, otherwise he can only always rely on the Southern Qin court.

Since I have decided to do it, I will do it bigger, and these 5,000 cavalry are my capital. Next, I want the name Jiang Lan to resound all over the world on this continent.

Unconsciously, Jiang Lan walked to the North Gate schoolyard.

In the north gate school field, Zhang is training with 5,000 cavalry, and there are really a lot of 5,000 people, which fills this small school field.

When Zhang Meng saw Jiang Lan coming, he told the deputy next to him to continue training, and then ran over Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan saw that Zhang Meng was also in an abnormal spirit these days, so he quipped, "What? The red face is full of light, looking for a good one? ”

"These horses are more popular than little ladies" Zhang Meng was originally born in cavalry, so he naturally likes horses very much.

"How's your training going?" Jiang Lan asked

"There is no problem with the basic tactics, the brothers are now excited, and they have been clamoring to go out of the city to find the Northern Yan cavalry to practice well," Zhang Meng replied

"I also have this idea, after practicing for so long, it's time for them to go out for activities" Jiang Lan said, "In this way, in addition to the 1,000 heavy armored cavalry, the remaining 4,000 cavalry let them escort the caravan, each time they go out with a flag, take turns to come, and first take those Northern Yan's rogue soldiers to practice. Jiang Lan remembered the Somali escort in his previous life, and he could just come like this, so that they could go out and see more blood.

"Also, the food of the brothers must be guaranteed, especially the heavy cavalry, people and horses must be well fed, this is our trump card"

"Don't worry, no problem, the brothers' salaries are paid in full, and the food is even full."

"It's not enough to be full, so the soap workshop in the city will start immediately, and there will be a large amount of pork every day, and I will arrange for people to send twenty heads over every day, and we must ensure that the soldiers have meat for a meal."

Jiang Lan knows the importance of people's hearts, as long as these soldiers are well fed and well-fed, they will have the strength to go to the battlefield.

On the other hand, now that soap is being made, the most useless pancreas from pigs has become the most precious thing, which has led to the frenzied purchase of pig pancreas by merchants in Tiantai County in neighboring counties, and later simply bought live pigs. The original pork seller in Tiantai County now directly changes to a soap workshop and works as a professional butcher. The price of pork in Tiantai County has plummeted. In this troubled era, the people of Tiantai County have realized a well-off life in which every household has meat.

In an instant, three months passed

Tiantai County is in the north, and winter is relatively early every year.

Today's harvest is not bad, every household has surplus grain, and now the surrounding neighboring counties will come to run from time to time, and gradually many households have gathered outside Tiantai County.

This is almost impossible in the border county, because there are often Beiyan soldiers harassing, so few people live outside the city, but in Tiantai County, this situation is normal.

It was precisely because of these three months that cavalry patrolled out of the city every day to escort caravans. At the beginning, some rogue soldiers from the Northern Yan came to harass them, wanting to take some advantage of it.

However, after being hammered a few times by the cavalry escorting the caravan in Tiantai County, they hid from a distance, resulting in each cavalry now complaining to each other.

"Lao Ding, it's all your team, just teach those northern barbarians a lesson last time, but as a result, you chased people for more than fifty miles, and almost didn't catch up with the people's camp, so scared that now the northern barbarians don't dare to come to our side"

A cavalry captain complained

"Also said that I, Lao Li, who directly surrounded a team of cavalry in Beiyan last time, there was no line left to rob people in the cold weather, more than 100 people ran in the snow with bare butts all night, and froze to death several times, I heard that Yuwen Xu's mouth in Beiyan was crooked, you are embarrassed to say me" Another cavalry captain also said, "That's right, what good things did you rob last time, divide me"

"What can there be, a bunch of rags, poor jingles, just those horses are okay, stay in our team as a reserve horse, but don't think about it, you want to grab it yourself"

He looked at each other with a wary face

"Where to rob it, now the northern barbarians are not coming to us, and they are all hiding when they see our caravans."

This was frightened by the fishing law enforcement of the Tiantai County cavalry, and some of the Beiyan soldiers saw that the Tiantai caravan was not escorted by cavalry, and they thought they had caught a fat sheep, but they didn't expect to bump into it and find out that it was a group of wolves, which turned out to be a fake caravan of the Tiantai cavalry. Now, even if a rooftop caravan is not guarded by cavalry, the Northern Yan people do not dare to come and harass it.

Of course, in addition to the military progress in these three months, more importantly, the commercial aspect of the rooftop.

After the opening of Tianbao Pavilion in the capital, it was an instant hit, and there were always crowds of people every time it was auctioned. This is still the result of Tianbao Pavilion making various restrictions, and then Jiang Lan taught some techniques such as workshop winemaking, glass, perfume, etc., and now Jiang Lan only hates that he skipped school in class at the beginning, and did not learn more mathematics, physics and chemistry.

However, just these things directly made Tianbao Pavilion explode, earning nearly five million taels of silver per month.

Now the magnates in the capital show their strength by being able to buy the products in the Tianbao Pavilion, and at the highest time, even a piece of soap was sold for 10,000 taels of silver, a full tenfold increase.

Under Wei Cong's planning, the Tianbao Pavilion branch even opened to Shengjing, the capital of Northern Yan.

After solving the problem of silver, Jiang Lan began to accumulate strength again, and ordered Wei Cong to cooperate with Wang Yuan to secretly buy a large number of fine iron and horses, recruit blacksmiths, and build his own ordnance factory.

Jiang Lan knew that only with strong military strength could these wealth be considered his own, otherwise he would be making a wedding dress for others.
