Zhang Jian couldn't understand these little tricks, so he smiled and said, "If Mr. Cui can really do this, in the future, the Cui family will sell grain in the Liao Kingdom, and this official will naturally contribute a protective force."

"Thank you, Lord Zhang." Cui Vain wanted this result, and he smiled with satisfaction at the moment.

The two sides were tantamount to negotiating the conditions, and then Zhang Jian asked the doubts in his heart, "These seeds should be the lifeblood of the Dragon Heavenly King, how can you get them easily?"

"Lord Zhang, have you heard a saying, money can make ghosts grind. Although the seeds are good, as long as the capital is spent enough, they can still be bought from the people. But for the first time, it's impossible to buy more seeds, so please forgive me for this."

Of course, Zhang Jian can understand, in fact, he does not believe that there is such a large annual output of grain. The first time he traded, he also wanted to see the effect first.

"Well, I can understand. So, tell me how much you can offer this time."

"Back to Lord Zhang, this time we also took a certain risk, paid a lot of price, and got the seeds of 500 acres of land. This is the first time this year, so you can try it first, and if there is no problem, it will be much easier if you are doing it next year."

"Five hundred acres of land? Yes." Zhang Jian nodded after hearing this.

Five hundred years of acres, the number is really nothing for a Liao country. Think about it is the first time to plant, no one knows what the effect is, and if you plant too much, it will not be good.

Planting less is also in line with Zhang Jian's requirements. As Cui Huan said, there is no problem, and we will continue to expand the planting next year.

Soon after, Cui Vain left Zhang's mansion with a happy face, and soon after, he appeared in front of Cui Yuanshan and Cui Daotong.

"How? How's it going?" As soon as he saw Cui Yuan coming back, he looked happy, and Cui Yuanshan knew that most of the things were done.

"It's done, Zhang Jian didn't counteroffer the price we proposed. I also promised to take care of our Cui family's business in Liao in the future." Cui Vain said happily.

"Okay, great." After Cui Yuanshan heard it, he said very happily.

Cui Yuan, who laughed on the other side, quickly said as if he remembered something, "It's just that if we do this, will we be discovered by the Dragon Heavenly King, and will we cause death."

"Okay, we know this matter in our hearts, so you can go down and rest first." Cui Yuanshan also changed his cold face at this time, and waved his impatient hand at Cui Yuan.

Cheng Vain left like this, and then Cui Daotong, who was standing on the side, spoke, "Brother, why don't you tell Cui Vain about this matter that the Dragon Heavenly King originally instructed us to do?"

"Stupid!"

Cui Yuanshan suddenly scolded, and then said, "The Dragon Heavenly King said that this matter is a secret among secrets, and only our two brothers can know about it, have you forgotten?"

"Oh, yes, yes." Cui Daotong nodded hurriedly. Then he remembered something, and said with a questioning face, "Brother, you said that the Dragon Heavenly King actually took out all the seeds and sold them, what are you going to do?" Aren't you afraid that after the Liao people are not short of food, there will be a counter-threat?"

"Hey, how can this kind of thing be guessed by us little people, our Cui clan is now attached to the Dragon Heavenly King, what we have to do is to do the things that are ordered, as for the rest, it is not a problem that we should consider."

In fact, Cui Yuanshan already had the answer to this question in his heart.

Su Shi told him that there is only one stubble of seeds, and there will be no harvest if he continues to plant. It's just that because this secret is so important, very few people know about it. Even in the Cui family, only he and a few clan elders knew.

Messages are sometimes money. Just like this time, even if he got Zhang Jian's money and the promise of the other party to take care of him, this is a very beneficial thing for Cui's family. Even if you have already gained, then you just have to do what you have in your hands, how can you talk nonsense.

Zhang Jian, on the other side, after meeting Cui Vao, returned to the study again, and tore up the half-written recital book after thinking about it.

That is, with the seeds of high-yield grain, the crisis of the Liao country will be relieved by most of it

It is not easy to mention the matter of dealing with Su Shi again. Let's see how it happens at the end of the year.

"Su Shi, Su Shi, do you know that the Han people have a saying, called a hundred dense and one sparse. Your grain seeds have all fallen into the hands of my Liao State, but you want to see, do you still dare to fight our Liao State's idea? Wait, when our grain is also harvested, and at that time, it's time to clean up you, hahaha."

In the study, Zhang Jian's smug laughter came out.

......

Ningyuan, Anzhou, and Xijing are all in the hands of Su Shi.

The land of six cities has become nine cities, and among them, there is a big city like Xijing, and Su Shi's strength has entered a rapid expansion.

In June, the weather had begun to get very hot, and in the Dragon Heavenly King's Mansion in Dingzhou City, Su Shi also saw the expansion statistics report after two months.

The number of convicts has changed from 20,000 to 100,000, and with these abundant laborers, the speed of road construction and housing construction can be much faster.

Of course, what makes Su Shi happiest is the next data report. It states that the number of auxiliaries under the Dragon Army has been reduced from 500 to 5,000.

The number of peasant soldiers expanded from 5,000 to 30,000.

The number of peasant soldiers expanded from 30,000 to 50,000.

Under Su Shi's rule, the selection of peasants and soldiers has always been very strict, and even the lowest-level peasant soldiers must go through strict physical examinations, identity verifications, and political examinations.

In terms of governing the army, Su Shi chose an extremely harsh method when laying the foundation, in order to prevent the military power from falling, which in turn would pose a threat to himself.

It is precisely under Su Shi's stricter requirements that all the sergeants of the Dragon Army are loyal to Su Shi. Not to mention that there are no problems for all of them, but at least out of a thousand people, more than 990 people will not have any problems.

This also includes the psychological absolute worship and complete obedience to Sushi.

Su Shi didn't want to make some rabble at the beginning, and once the foundation was not laid, the higher the building was built, the more dangerous it became.

But even under such strictness, the number of troops has more than doubled, which shows how high the support for Su Shi is in the land of Nine Cities.

Su Shi's army grew from less than 10,000 at the beginning, but in a few months a year, it expanded to nearly 100,000. Although the real elite is still less than 10,000 people, for Su Shi, he is already very satisfied, and he is ready to continue to move forward and expand.

With the help of the system, Su Shi never has to worry about logistics, if he has such good conditions and advantages, if he doesn't hurry up and become a strong man, Su Shi will only feel that he has come to the world in vain.

Calling Fu Bi, Ji Zhu, Fang Jiugui and Zhang Ao, Su Shi dropped his finger on the map, pointed directly to Haizhou south of Xijing and said, "Prepare for it, we will capture this place next."

Haeju, also known as the Seekaido of Goryeo, is also known as the Ansei Prefecture.

It is an important place west of Goryeo, and it is also the place where the capital of Goryeo opened the barrier to the west of the capital of the capital.

Once this place is taken by the dragon army, the soldiers can directly aim at the capital of Kaijing, and truly achieve the goal of threatening the Goryeo royal family.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Su Shi's actions. After thinking about it, Fu Bi said, "Why don't you take Huangzhou first, it's closer to Xijing."

"No, this time we are going to fight a surprise battle, as long as we capture Haizhou, Huangzhou will be surrounded, and it will not be a threat. Maybe you can go down without a fight, Minister Zhang, I'm afraid this matter will fall on your head, go back and prepare well."

Su Shi's gaze fell on Zhang Ao, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Zhang Ao was excited when he heard this, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Listen to the order."

With this important task, if you can really take Huangzhou without blood, it will definitely be a great achievement, and from then on, no one dares to underestimate the people in their Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Su Shi made this plan, in fact, there is another important reason, that is, Su Shi does not have any big sea ships in his hands.

Although it is said that when the Xijing City was captured, too

A number of ships were seized, but they were not too large. And in the system, only hovercraft can be exchanged, and the other interfaces are all black, and even Su Shi himself doesn't know what is in it.

Goryeo has its back to the sea, and if you want to completely occupy this place, you can't do it without enough sea boats. The target is Haizhou, and Su Shi takes a fancy to the fact that there is a Goryeo sea division here.

And if you fight in the open, even if you occupy Haizhou, you can give the other party time to prepare, and people can also escape by boat, so from this point of view, sneak attack is the best means. Even if you take the enemy by surprise, you can occupy the city, expand your influence, and you can get a naval division, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it.

Su Shi made a decision, except for Fu Bi who asked a question, everyone else did not speak, but began to think about how to complete this task well.

"Alright, the military department will make several practical plans within three days, and we will discuss and decide when the time comes. In addition, in order to confuse the enemy, you can arrange for some peasant soldiers to appear in the area south of Dingzhou City and north of Goryeoan Border City, so as to attract Goryeo's attention first."

"Yes." The four of them replied in unison, so far, the attack on Haizhou has become the next task of the Dragon Army, and all departments have begun to make various preparations for this.

......

Haizhou.

It served as a barrier to the west of the royal capital, but it was also the hinterland of Goryeo, and there had been no war in this area for many years.

Now, after the Dragon Heavenly King destroyed the King of Xijing and captured the city of Xijing, the situation here has become a little more tense.

But it's just a little nervous, in fact, what people here should do or do.
