Chapter 393 Coal

"How are the two counties in Anding Beidi?" Coal Mine Xianlian is currently the largest economic source of Xiliang Army. Coal is a newly added resource. Relying on the sales channels accumulated by Xianlian Pavilion for many years, it is easy to occupy the market and win the welcome of upper-class people.

"My lord, the coal produced by the two counties is very popular in the city. With the help of Xianlian Pavilion, it has begun to be exported to various places." Zhang Zhao said, to this day, Zhang Li is convinced of Jia Rong, raising more than 100,000 exiles with the strength of one person and building a house for him. Such a courageous means, try to ask who can have the Central Plains princes. There is no grain and fod, but coal has appeared. I have to admire Jia Rong. The biggest problem of the Xiliang Army is solved with the emergence of coal. Zhang Li What we need to do is to calm the people and how to establish prestige among the people.

I have been following Jia Rong for a long time, and everything is considered for the Xiliang Army.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Not only that, the wine produced in Wuwei County will also be sold. There are many rich families in the Central Plains. I don't know how much money they have, and they will earn if they don't earn." Collecting money and developing strength has an unprecedented sense of urgency.

Zhang Li leaned over and said yes.

"Officials from all over the world should also pay close attention to it. Those with excellent political achievements will be promoted, and those with poor will be demoted. There is no place for accommodation."

"No, I'm leaving." Zhang Li stood up and said goodbye.

Although Zhang Zhao is in charge of the dispatching of officials, in fact, the power has not been handed over in a short period of time. There are still three auxiliary places in the ten counties of Liangzhou. There are so many officials. Even if Zhang Zhao does not sleep every day, it is difficult to control it in a short time.

"Come on, bring my cloak." Jia Rong drank all the wine in the glass and shouted outside the door.

With advanced knowledge, Jia Rong's means of agruling wealth can be said to be endless. There are many coal in ancient times, and even open-air coal mines in some places. What Jia Rong wants is to earn more money before the merchants in the world react. Otherwise, when the merchants of the family get involved, the profits will be only a few. Fairy love has always been The existence of transcendence is due to the formula.

What does the army rely on in war? Money, what do people rely on for survival, money.

Chang'an craftsman's workshop, under the operation of Puyuan, has been on the right track. Tens of thousands of craftsmen perform their respective duties, and everything seems to be orderly. Outside the craftsman's workshop is a battalion of people in Ula. When entering the craftsman's workshop, it is subject to strict inspection, even the craftsman's entry and exit. The craftsman's family is also gathered together and are supervised. Vision.

"Lord Pu, I don't know if there are any good weapons?" Jia Rong kindly patted off the dust on Pu Yuan's shoulder.

Pu Yuan hurriedly bowed down.

Jia Rong helped Pu Yuan up and said with a smile, "Lord Pu doesn't have to look outside."

"Master, according to the master's instructions, the craftsman's workshop has made the crossbow in the master's mouth and is about to send it to the general's house, but I didn't expect the master to arrive first." Pu Yuandao.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "Wait for me quickly."

A weapon slightly smaller than the crossbow appeared in front of Jia Rong.

At the sign of Pu Yuan, the three craftsmen came forward, played drums for a while, and stood aside with their hands.

Pu Yuan said, "Lord, the crossbow has been strung."

"Well, let me see how powerful it is?"

A series of six crossbows shot at the opposite wall, and the house trembled gently and splashed dust.

Zhao Yun, who followed Jia Rong, was shocked and shot six powerful crossbows in a short period of time. If the Xiliang Army was equipped with such a weapon, who could slight its edge?

In an instant, the surprise in my eyes turned hot.

Jia Rong approached the wall and watched it for a moment. He walked to the side of the crossbow and tried it. He nodded and said, "The power is enough, but the winding time is a little long. I will find a way to improve it in this regard, and then produce a hundred pieces, and the strength required for the winding is also a little large, and I will also make some improvements."

"No!" Pu Yuan and Liu, the blacksmith, worshipped together, and two people were responsible for the affairs of the craftsman's workshop.

"Lord Pu, do you know about coal?" Jia Rong asked.

"But it is widely circulated in the city for heating?" Coal is also used in Puyuan's home.

Jia Rong said, "It's this thing. The burning temperature of coal is not higher than that of charcoal."

Pu Yuan is a person who forges weapons. He woke up and said happily, "The lord's words are very good. With the help of coal, the weapons forged by the craftsman's workshop can be improved."

"Well, first produce the machetes equipped by the cavalry, and use all the best steel. The weapons and armor of the sergeants should also be mass-produced."

Seeing that Pu Yuan's face was difficult, Jia Rong said, "Don't worry about money."

"No!" The two of them bowed together.

After the advent of wine in the Central Plains, few people have asked about it. The main reason is that the Central Plains people are used to wine with a high degree, and many nobles can't adapt to the degree of wine at all.

Jia Rong did not force it. When he developed his own glass and matched it with wine, the bright color could definitely make it popular.

The roads in various places have been repaired under the organization of officials, and the canals have been built. Looking at the new scene near Liang Chang'an, Jia Rong seems to see the scene of a bumper harvest in the coming year. Even the officials who initially opposed Jia Rong's construction of the project can't help but be surprised to see the scene of the three auxiliary places in Liangzhou today.

Collecting the exiles, the reputation of the Xiliang Army among the people has risen again, and the people all over the world praise the style of the Xiliang Army.

The princes of the Central Plains were once again surprised by Jia Rong's financial resources. Under the circumstances of the people's poverty, they were able to build large-scale construction and canals to pave roads.

The New Year's bell rang again, and the Han Emperor fled to Yanzhou, where Cao Cao was located, and changed the name of the year to Xingping. This year is the first year of Xingping.

After the Emperor of Han came to Yanzhou, his fighting spirit was high, with the intention of controlling the power and restoring the glory of the Han Dynasty. Situ and other officials returned empty-handed from Chang'an, but the background of each family was still there. For a while, he sang and danced in the court. The emperor and ministers discussed how to govern the country. Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, was left alone. In front of the boss in the court, Cao Fuck people who speak lightly.

However, Emperor Han understood the importance of military power from the ups and downs and showed his goodwill to Cao Cao many times.

No matter how the officials in the court are agitated, Cao Cao has always been condemned by the officials, both in the open and the dark, but the officials have no real power in their hands, so they can only enjoy their mouths.

When he had nothing to do, the Emperor of Han unexpectedly missed Chang'an. In Chang'an, he would not worry about his life and would not worry about food and clothing. In Yanzhou, what he ate all day was not rice at all. Can the soup cooked with wild vegetables mixed with noodles be called rice? According to the minister, the people in the city are all exposed, and there is no hustle and bustle of Chang'an. rang.

All states and counties in the world suffered disasters, and Qingzhou, Yanzhou, was also among them. Cao Cao followed Jia Rong's example, collected the exiles, appeased the people, and reclaimed the fields. However, the food in the warehouse was unsustainable. He asked the family in Yanzhou many times and lived a hard life. As for the Emperor of Han in the palace, he ate. Naturally, it's not good.

The wild vegetables outside the city were dug clean by the diligent army. Cao Cao did not have the profiteering means like Xianlian Pavilion. He appeared in the army and among the people again and again to express condolences to the people. Most of the soldiers under his command were yellow scarf soldiers. Cao Cao's behavior moved them, and the people were also grateful.

The capital of the Han Dynasty was transferred from Chang'an to Youzhou. Just looking around, the pale people on the streets and the dilapidated houses on both sides gave people a ridiculous feeling.

Xi Liangjun spent an extremely difficult year in the eyes of outsiders.

"Brother Zizhong came from afar. Thank you for your hard work." Jia Rong ordered his servants to make a good cup of fragrant tea.

"General!" Mi Zhu worshipped respectfully.

"It doesn't have to be like this. You and I have been friends for many years. Don't be polite." In a high position, Jia Rong should also pay attention to his words and can't be called a brother when seeing people.

"The etiquette cannot be abolished." Mi Zhu said with a straight face.

"Haha, Brother Zizhong is still like this." Jia Rong laughed.

Mi Wei now serves as a cavalry battalion general in the Xiliang Army. He once served as the commander of Jia Rong's personal guard. He is quite prestigious among the generals. Mi Zhu has made a lot of money in business in Chang'an. He is the squirrel food and grass of the Xiliang Army, and naturally for Mi Wei.

"Thank you, Brother Zizhong, for your support in food and fodder, so that more than 100,000 people will not starve to death, and their merits and virtues are boundless." Jia Rong arched his hand and said that the Xiliang Army has made a lot of contributions to the Xiliang Army. It has provided food and fodder for the Xiliang Army many times in times of crisis.

"The general's words are heavy!" Mi Zhu said modestly.

"I heard that the general recently sold something called coal in the Central Plains. The cold-repelling effect is extremely good. The villain has also bought some, which is really extraordinary."

Jia Rong understood the meaning of Mi Zhu's words, "Since Brother Zizhong is interested, I can't be stingy. The coal business in Xuzhou will be taken care of by Brother Zizhong." You will be rewarded with a peach, and Mi Zhu will be used a lot in the future.

"Thank you, General!" Mi Zhu worshiped excitedly, Xianlian. Jia Rong had never handed over to any nickname merchant to take care of it. Su Shuang was in charge. Originally, Mi Zhu did not have much expectation for coal. He just wanted to buy some at a lower price and return to Xuzhou to sell. He didn't expect Jia Rong to be so generous.

"The wine sold by Xiliangjun in the Central Plains, the villain also wants to act as an agent in Xuzhou. What about the general's intention?"

Jia Rong smiled. Mi Zhu is also a wonderful person. Coal is a profitable business, but the prospect of wine is worrying. Obviously, he wants to make up for Jia Rong.

"Well, it's troublesome for Brother Zizhong."

On that day, Jia Rong picked up the wind and washed the dust for Mi Zhu in the house. He was also accompanied by some head and face-to-faced figures in Chang'an, which gave Mi Zhu enough face.

Chang'an Wei family is Wei Fu's mother's family. Naturally, it can't be lost. Jia Rong secretly ordered Zhang Zhao to hand over part of the coal business to the Wei family. Wei Fu is his wife, and Wei Zhongdao is his brother. There is no doubt about the loyalty of the Wei family. Moreover, the Wei family is a huge existence in the Han Dynasty. The background is amazing. If it can With the full support of the Wei family, the Xiliang Army will certainly be able to reach another level. However, since the Wei family came to Chang'an, they have been very low-key. In addition to some family affairs, Wei Guan rarely talks about cooperation with the Xiliang Army. Every time Jia Rong mentions it, he is also avoided by Wei Guan.

At the beginning of spring, the whole Liang Chang'an Sanfu Land was busy making a ball, and the people sowed the seeds of hope on the reclaimed land with joy.

The exiles will never forget who helped them in times of suffering and gave them food and clothing.
