Ying Ke looked at the thick pile of bills in his hand, and his face turned blue and white.

An arrow costs two dollars?

Fifteen dollars for a stone of grain?

Fifty dollars for a long go?

A set of swords and shields costs eighty dollars?

……

Yingke raised her head, her face full of anger: "Quyang Hou, why don't you go and grab it?" ”

"Your stuff here is almost double the market price!"

"It's too black!" Yingke gritted her teeth.

Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly, with innocence written on his face: "It's expensive?" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ben Hou doesn't love money, and he has always been bad at running the way of business. ”

"But...... This price is not set by me, it is set by Deputy Yin Zhao. ”

"Then again, when Gongzi Zhuang ascends to the throne of King Qin, the entire Qin Kingdom will be his! Fertile Bashu, Qianli Guanzhong, Longxi grassland...... How much is it worth? ”

"Don't be too short-sighted, young man."

"You are not willing to spend money now, how can you beat King Qin Yingji?"

"Charging money will make you stronger! Create happiness with salary!"

"If you win, then you have everything! But if you lose, you won't even die...... This money is something outside the body, life does not bring death, it is a matter of life, and you can't be reluctant to consume it! Xiong Wuliang was pure and seductive.

Yingke opened her mouth.

Qu Yanghou's words were so reasonable that he couldn't refute them.

Xiong Wuliang sighed again: "I won't tell you, I really want to see Gongzi Zhuang ascend the throne as the king of Qin...... So be it, chariots - I also sell chariots! ”

"I won't hide it from you - these chariots are all Qi army chariots captured by Benhou in the Battle of Gaoping."

"The chariot phalanx of the Qi army is famous all over the world, and it is the nemesis of the foot soldiers - Ben Hou doesn't want much, and he should make a friend - a chariot only costs 100 gold!"

Yingke's eyes were about to pop out.

A car of 100 gold?

Is this still called 'not much'?

Just when Yingke wanted to open his mouth to scold the black-hearted Xiong Wuliang for being shameless, Qu Yuan, who had been quiet, suddenly opened his mouth and interjected: "Lord, it's not proper!" ”

"These things can't be sold to Gongzi Zhuang of Qin State!"

"Smuggling copper and iron is a great sin!"

"With Qu's intention - sell a little grain and Gongzi Zhuang, and send this messenger away, it can be regarded as the lord's word and faith."

Xiong Wuliang said loudly: "Qu Yuan, don't talk nonsense!" Gongzi Zhuang is Ben Hou's friend, how can Ben Hou not help him? ”

Qu Yuan waved his hand, and there seemed to be anger on his face: "Lord, please forgive Qu for being blunt-this heroic uprising may not be successful." If the uprising fails, the great assistance of the prince and the marquis at this time will not be hated by King Yingji of Qin at that time? ”

Xiong Wuliang 'opened his mouth' and seemed to hesitate for a while.

Seeing this situation, Yingke was anxious!

It's a good talk, how can you say that if you don't sell it, you won't sell it?

Looking at the size of the world, where else can there be so many ready-made ordnance for sale?

Ying Ke protested loudly: "Quyang Hou, don't listen to Qu Yuan's nonsense - if your brother gets into trouble, there is at least a nine-point chance of winning!" ”

"Then again, even if we really lose, we will definitely not confess the prince!"

"Please wait for a while, Yingke will rush back to Qin and get the money!"

After that, Yingke hurriedly said goodbye as if she was afraid that Xiong Wuliang would regret it. After a while, a soldier came in to report, saying that Yingke had galloped out of Quyang County on horseback and went straight to the direction of Qin.

Xiong Wuliang and Qu Yuan glanced at each other and smiled thoughtfully.

……

In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Chu Wanghuai, the population in the fiefdom of Quyang Hou Xiong Wuliang had exceeded 200,000.

At Qu Yuan's suggestion, Xiong Wuliang waved his hand and ordered the expansion of the army!

The original establishment of the Quyang Army and the Shaohu Army was abolished, and the above two armies were merged into one army, and new recruits were recruited for full-time training, which was called the 'Quyang New Army'.

The Quyang New Army has a total of 10,000 people, continuing the high standards and strict requirements of the previous two armies, aiming to build this 10,000 new army into an elite with one as ten.

Such a large-scale expansion of the army naturally costs a lot of money and food, especially the large project of 'Quyang Commercial Port' is also continuing to swallow gold......

Fortunately, the strong money continued to flow in, which effectively alleviated the gap in funds.

In other words, now Yingzhuang is also fighting.

Qin Gongzizhuang sold a lot of ancestral property, and at the same time did not hesitate to borrow money from various noble ministers of the Qin State who supported him, and worked hard to raise a huge amount of money, and was doing his best to buy the broken copper and iron in Xiong Wuliang's hands.

According to Yingzhuang's current madness, it is likely that a large-scale civil strife will break out in the Qin State this winter.

It is probably more than half a year earlier than the historical 'Jijun Rebellion'.

It is conceivable that with Xiong Wuliang's fanning and desperate blood sucking, this time Qin's civil strife will be much more serious than in history!

……

Quyang New Army Camp.

Counting the newly recruited soldiers, there were 10,000 soldiers here.

These recruits are all from Quyang, Ping'a, and Shansang, and their families have land, which in the words of the Han Dynasty is 'good family'. Xiong Wuliang adheres to the strategy of elite soldiers, and the 10,000 people selected are all strong men.

The weather was already a little cold, but there was still a hot scene in the camp - 10,000 soldiers were training and calibrating.

The sound of killing shook the sky, the armor was shining, and there was a strong army.

Although there was a large increase in numbers, the quality of equipment did not deteriorate - all the soldiers wore leather armor inside and iron armor on the outside, and in their hands they had an iron cast Changge in their hands, a thick oak shield on their backs, an iron short sword at their waists, and a small repeater and thirty arrows on their backs.

From the point of view of equipment, the 'Quyang New Army' trained by Xiong Wuliang is obviously a copy of the 'Wei Wushu' trained by Wu Qi in Wei back then.

"Xunzi Yibing" describes Wei Wushu's "Wei's Wushu takes it by degree, wears the armor of the three genera, exercises the crossbow of twelve stones, bears fifty arrows, puts it on it, crowns and swords, and wins three days' of food......

Compared to Wei Wushu, the Quyang New Army carried an extra shield, but it was more sophisticated and light in armor, smaller in crossbows, and carried fewer arrows.

The overall weight should be comparable to that of Wei Wushu back then.

Out-and-out heavy infantry!

Twilight is falling, and the temperature is even colder.

After the training of the Quyang New Army, 10,000 sergeants were neatly lined up in a large phalanx on the school field, like a forest of iron towers......

In addition to the red flags on a yellow background fluttering with the wind hunting, the 10,000 soldiers were steaming hot and did not move in place.

Xiong Wuliang was greatly admired: "The two generals' training skills are really good. ”

Zhong Hua and Shaohu bowed their hands together: "The lord is too famous." ”

In fact, as long as there is abundant money and food, it is not difficult to train troops.

Under the premise of abundant money and food, as long as the main general achieves strict military discipline, clear rewards and punishments, off-duty training, and advancing and retreating with the soldiers, he can completely temper an elite army in the feudal dynasty era.

Here's the hard part – most militaries have a budget for training and day-to-day expenses, and this budget is often limited......

Xiong Wuliang did not set a budget for the 'Quyang New Army', and all the expenses should be reimbursed - it is said that he can eat three meals a day and occasionally have meat, which is the treatment only available to the petty nobles in this era......

Throwing money into death like this, and training an elite soldier that can rival the 'Wei Wushu' back then, is naturally not a problem.

"Lord, today's school martial arts, the ten thousand commanders have all been selected." The two generals arched their hands, looking at each other sharply.

There seemed to be a faint edge in the air.

Zhong Hua was the former chief general of the 'Quyang Army', and Shao Hu was the former chief general of the 'Shaohu Army...... Now that the two armies are combined into one army, who is the main general of this 'Quyang New Army'? Who is the lieutenant general?
