Chapter 37 Befriend Ran Min?

Good morning, dear friends, 360-degree rotating ball collection and recommendation tickets!
…………

There are more than 3 Jin people, excluding women, the Jin people who can be used as a source of soldiers will not be less than [-].

Liu Yan is temporarily unable to arm 2 people at all, and it can even be said that even if he could arm it, he did not consider doing so.He built twenty workshops. If each workshop had enough materials, it could produce six weapons or a set of armor every day. It would take half a year to arm 2 people.Materials are actually a big problem, because iron ore mining is expensive for ordinary people, and there are too few system farmers who can use it.

At present, there are two thousand Jin people serving as soldiers, and the ratio of soldiers to civilians is fifteen to one. This is also a last resort at this stage.

The Jin people who were not recruited as soldiers needed to work every day. Most of them did some logging work, and those who knew water were fishing and hunting.

Nearly three hundred Hu people were captured from Buqi City. They worked under the supervision of Jin soldiers and system soldiers, and their job was to collect iron ore.

God knows if there were iron mines in Qingdao. Anyway, Liu Yan discovered iron mines and started mining them. Finally, he no longer has to live the hard life of "resource recovery".

There is iron ore, but Liu Yan doesn't know how much the reserves should be, just like he is not sure about the reserves of gold mines.

"Huh? Maybe it's an idea." Liu Yan said, "But it might be accepted?"

The occasion was in a high-rise building, and several people in charge knew that Liu Yan was used to climbing high and looking far away.Did they get together with Liu Yan for dinner after several days, or did they have a cold meal in this place blown by the sea breeze.

Just now Tian Shuo raised his head, and Ji Chang added that they all agreed that they should bring a lot of money to Xiangguo to clear up the dredging. Even if the bad situation of attacking Buqicheng cannot be completely eliminated, how can it be eased?
Liu Yan thought of one thing. It seems that the person whose name is now Ran Min and who will change his name to Ran Min in the future should be at the stage of Hou Zhao's rise to fame?

[Perhaps...we should send someone to contact him.Just what kind of contact method? 】

Previously, Shihu was defeated in the Battle of Changli, and all the armies of the later Zhao army abandoned their armor and fled. Only the army led by Ran Min fought back and was not injured, so Ran Min became famous.

Later Zhao attacked Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the state of Jin. Several armies and horses may have won big victories, but no one was as dazzling as Ran Min.Whether Zhao Jun won first and then lost, almost everyone suffered heavy losses in the battle of the Yangtze River, or only Ran Min almost retreated completely.

Several excellent performances, and Ran Min's amazing ability to command troops, made Shi Hu very fond of it, but Liu Yan didn't know whether those memories were correct, so he had to wait for the dispatch of people to actually investigate.

"Your Majesty?" Tian Shuo had already called several times, waiting for Liu Yan to finally respond, and said, "Gold is always welcome. Even if the desired result is not obtained by bribery with a lot of money, it is a way to ease the relationship."

In fact, what Tian Shuo wants to say is that as long as he is willing to throw gold, the courtiers above the court may not help to say good things, but they will definitely not make trouble.It is a great help if you don't make trouble in certain things, and I really want to persuade Liu Yan not to be reluctant to invest.

Gold is naturally extremely important to Liu Yan. Some powerful units and technological research require gold, but when gold is needed to "open the way" on certain occasions, how can he be stingy?After all, if you want to produce soldiers or research technology, the premise is that the power is still there.

"That's good, that's good..." Tian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "We are not the only ones who are fighting against the Heavenly King's army while building a good relationship."

Liu Yan didn't listen so carefully, so he asked.When he got the answer, he didn't feel anything strange.

To put it bluntly, the population of the Jie people is small, almost more than [-]% of the whole family lives in Xiangguo, and the place is ruled by other races.The Jie clan's control over the local area began to decrease with Shi Le's death, and rebellions occurred from time to time. As long as they were not too arrogant or independent, the entire Later Zhao court was actually a little used to it and numb.

"Ah?" Tian Shuo was a little dumbfounded: "Let the villain lead people there???" He was surprised that Liu Yan dared to entrust dozens of catties of gold, and he was afraid to go to Xiangguo.

"It seems that you are the only one who can do such a thing now." Liu Yan encouraged.

Tian Shuo immediately pointed to Zhang Shi, who had been silent all this time, and said, "Guard Zhang is more suitable than a villain."

Zhang Shi was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth obviously, and said to Liu Yan: "Tian Guanshi can help the emperor deal with internal affairs, and Ji staff can give advice to the superior emperor in military strategy. The villain is not good at both civil and military affairs. I am willing to help you." Your Majesty, do such a three-inch tongue thing."

Liu Yan stared at Zhang Shi for a long time, the expression on his face changed from a serious one to a smile, and the smile was filled with relief: "Okay, let's perform our duties, don't worry about our power not being able to grow." He said to everyone present Taking a deep look, the person who has been glanced at, no matter whether it is true or false, will show a moved expression after being praised.After reading it, he said, "That's up to you."

Zhang Shi stood up cautiously and saluted: "Don't dare to disappoint your majesty!"

The salute is actually a kind of etiquette of bending almost ninety degrees.These days, it’s not so exaggerated as to kneel down and worship at every turn. I guess it’s because the barbarians didn’t understand that in order to enslave a nation, you have to break that nation’s kneecaps first?
Later, Liu Yan asked Zhang Shi to speak alone, and the others understood. After all, "the king is not secret and the minister is lost", as a leader, he can be frank when necessary, but it is inappropriate to remain like that when it is necessary to exercise confidentiality.

"Ran Min?" Of course Zhang Shi knew about this famous name: "Your Majesty, what do you mean is that Ran Min is the main befriending partner?"

"Yes. Others are free, but he must establish friendship!" Liu Yan was extremely serious: "I know it well, if Shi Hu wants to send someone to attack, it will be either Li Nong or this Ran Min, and the latter has the highest probability."

Zhang Shi opened his mouth wide. He really wanted to say something like "We are a small force. Although we conquered the city and killed the county guards and others, we don't need the first fierce general." To save some face for the object of allegiance, I can only be submissive, but I think in my heart that in addition to making friends with Ran Min, those great scholars must definitely buy them off.

The matter is clearly explained, but it still needs a lot of preparations, for example, gold mining needs to be stepped up temporarily.After tidying up the ones he snatched from Buqicheng, Liu Yan finally prepared one hundred catties of gold for Zhang Shi, and dozens of war swords with specially processed scabbards.

Waiting for Zhang Shi to set off, Liu Yan also began to take the final steps of conquering Ai County.

"Your Majesty, the villain thinks..." Ji Chang didn't dare to frown, but he really felt that Liu Yan was reckless.He smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty will give the villain another month. After one month, if you can't get the city of Gui County by tricks, Your Majesty will use your military power again?"

It has already been inquired very clearly that Guixian County will not have more than [-] combat power if it is full of battles, and that is the combat power that all families will participate in defending the city.

"Actually, it doesn't matter much." Liu Yan felt that he was going to understand: "I very much hope that the soldiers recruited will be more courageous because of the victory. As long as it can bring them victory in the end, it doesn't matter how to gain control of Guixian County. .”

Ji Chang was stunned immediately, for the past month, Liu Yan had always shown that he wanted to kill a bloody river, and Ji Chang thought that Liu Yan didn't even bother to use milder methods.

Liu Yancai didn't know that Ji Chang would leave such an impression because of his indiscriminate behavior in Buqicheng. The two discussed for a long time, and decided to make a one-month period. of.
