Chapter XXIII The Formation of Cavalry

"It's good to know, don't mention Leng Yan to me in the future, the top priority is to solve the matter of salt lies, after all, there are still a few counties and counties that are our territory, and they can't be too short of salt over there!"

"Sister Yun, I'll do it, I will definitely ensure that our people have salt. ”

After the man heard Yunsheng's words, he hurriedly nodded and returned, he was the son of a prefect, and he also had a lot of territory in his hands.

In the Great Zhou, the prefect's power is not small, in the court is the existence of the four products, each state has jurisdiction over three counties, and there are many counties under each county, so in the Great Zhou, the prefect of each state is the object of those princes.

On this side, after the four of them talked for a while, they dispersed, but in the meeting hall of the Yun Mansion, King Yun and a dozen officials in various official robes were still discussing something, and they did not disperse until late at night.

Situations like Yunfu continue to play out in the mansions of the princes and nobles of the Great Zhou,

For a while, because of the salt, the struggle between the various factions intensified a little.

In Hexi County, the county Cheng Cao was bent over and waiting next to the county guard, his face full of flattery and flattery.

The county is a six-grade official, and the county code is the largest prefect in a county, which is the fifth grade, so Cao Zheng will behave like this.

"Lord Gao, now there is news from the government that five thousand stone salt has been allocated to our side, which is really good news. ”

"5,000 stones? Yes, yes, leave 4,500 stones for us, and the remaining 500 stones will be distributed among the five counties below. ”

Hexi County Shou Gao Hongpi said with a smile,

When it comes to this, everyone is for themselves, who can take care of others, even the five counties below are under his rule.

"Yes, my lord, the lower official will arrange it. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Cao Zheng's eyes, but he didn't show it.

After leaving the mansion, Cao Zheng's body straightened up,

"This Gao Hong's heart is really ruthless enough, five hundred stones, five counties, and it takes a lot of effort to satisfy one county!"

However, when he got into his official sedan chair and arrived at his mansion, he already had a rough distribution plan in his heart.

However, at this moment, a servant dressed as a servant ran to the front of the official sedan in a panic.

"My lord, you can be regarded as back, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, Huang Si was arrested!"

"What?

After Cao Zheng in the sedan chair heard the words of the subordinate, he hurriedly stopped the sedan chair.

"My lord, why don't you go to the mansion and ask in person, Huang Si's people have already arrived for two hours!"

The subordinate seemed to know that he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply returned.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, hurry up and get into the house!"

Cao Zheng shouted anxiously, just now, he was still thinking about a total of five hundred stone of salt, and he wanted to leave four hundred stones for Huang Si and the others, but he didn't expect such news to come at a critical time.

Cao Mansion, with Cao Zheng's entry into the mansion, it became a chicken, a dog, and Quanyang County didn't know about the reduction of salt supply, Leng Yan was sitting in the back office at the moment and discussing something with Jiang Wei and Song Ci.

"My lord, the horses, cows, and sheep outside the city have been arranged, but the desert in Quanyang County is mostly desert, and it is still difficult to find a place with abundant water and grass, so we still need to purchase some forage. ”

Song Ci was originally a master of solving cases, but Leng Yan now has no capable people under his hands to govern, so he can only let him be wronged first.

"My lord, Huang Si and Master Stuttering have already tied it up according to your arrangement, I believe that tomorrow they will be buried by rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, it is summer now, and there will be enough for him to drink a pot at that time." ”

After Song Ci finished speaking, Jiang Wei also talked about the situation here.

On the other side, Wang Dynasty Mahan also returned to the county government with the gold, silver and jewelry copied from Qingfeng Village, making Leng Yan's personal silver reach as much as 20,000 li.

Unconsciously, after just two days, Leng Yan has changed from a poor egg who was robbed to an existence with 20,000 taels of silver, herds of cattle and sheep, and nearly hundreds of good horses.

After listening to the reports of his subordinates, Leng Yan's face was not much joyful,

He knew that this was just the beginning, there were still 50,000 people in Quanyang County suffering, and if he really wanted to build this place into a rich place, this bit of silver would not even be enough to stuff his teeth.

And Leng Yan also knew that what happened in Quanyang County would soon spread throughout Hexi County, Jinzhou Mansion, and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, just because he had another identity, the degraded third prince.

"Starting tomorrow, Song Ci, you will be in charge of hearing the case, Jiang Wei, allocate five thousand taels of silver to you, and give me to form a hundred-person cavalry squad in the shortest possible time, and the one hundred first-class horses will belong to you, Wang Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, the four of you are responsible for training eighteen head hunters, and they must have the cultivation of martial apprentices." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Leng Yan decided to let them return to their respective fields.

Only in this way can he quickly become strong and better deal with the next troubles, especially having a cavalry team of his own is the most important thing.

Several people received orders one after another, and their faces were full of joy, especially Jiang Wei, his favorite thing is to lead troops to fight, and forming cavalry is what he is best at.

However, after being happy, Jiang Wei showed a look of embarrassment,

"My lord, you also know that it takes talent to form a cavalry, and the people of Quanyang County have been hungry for a long time, and their health is very poor, if they are selected from among them, it is estimated that there are very few qualified. ”

"Well, is it difficult to choose a hundred out of fifty thousand people?"

Leng Yan frowned slightly, he knew that Jiang Wei was telling the truth, the people of Quanyang were all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and there were few strong men.

"My lord, with all due respect, the people in the city are not as good as those shepherds and cowherds who came to you last night, and even if they choose the best physical fitness from among the people, they cannot afford to toss on horseback for a long time, and if they are well recuperated, it will take half a year when there is enough food. ”

Jiang Wei insisted very much, since he wanted to form a cavalry, then he must get the strongest one out, at least that's what he thought.

At this time, Song Ci on the side also interjected,

"Lord Qiqi, although we have collected a lot of grain from Liu Xiancheng, Zhang Xianwei, and Huang Si, we have released a lot of it today, and it is really difficult to feed the people in the city for half a year. ”

In fact, Song Ci's words are still reserved, this year's drought in Quanyang County, if it doesn't rain again, the summer grain will face the point of failure, and at that time, it is difficult to say whether the grain in the grain depot can last for three months.

Leng Yan frowned slightly, what the two of them said made sense, the difficulty was great, but the cavalry had to be built.

What he doesn't lack now is silver, what he lacks is people, and now he can only rely on the system, thinking of this, Leng Yan ordered a few people to go down to prepare first, and he took five hundred taels of silver and returned to his residence.

In the dead of night, he summoned the summoning system again and began to summon.

This time he didn't hesitate, and directly exchanged five hundred taels of silver for fifty summoning opportunities, if he wants to play, he can play an exciting one, if tonight is a special game for cattle and sheep, then he will admit it.
