There is great terror between life and death.
This person, after experiencing the moment of life and death, is in two situations.
Either achieve great enlightenment and put life and death at risk.
Or cherish your life even more than before.
Changzhi County belongs to the latter, not to mention that Han Zhen also paved a road to wealth for him.
In just one and a half years, he can be promoted with a fortune worth millions.
In this case, of course he didn't want to die.
The young men were paid twenty cash per day, and the women and children were ten cash per day. Such generous treatment, thousands of people came to apply in an instant.
The clerk in charge of recruiting workers received orders from Changzhi County and accepted all comers. As long as someone came to answer the call, after registration, he would be dragged to the military camp construction site to work.
According to this progress, it will really take less than three days to complete the construction.
After arranging the construction of the military camp, Chang Zhixian took out another letter and handed it over with a strange expression: "This is a personal letter written to you by Zhao Ting, the Zhizhou Zhizhou."
After taking the letter, Han Zhen opened it and read it quickly.
It was really written for myself.
As if he was worried that he wouldn't understand it, the whole letter was written in plain language.
To sum it up in one sentence: How to open channels, I want to make money!
No wonder Changzhi County has this look, which is really outrageous.
But Han Zhen felt happy.
Again, don't worry about his big appetite, just worry about him not being greedy.
It can be seen from this letter that Zhao Ting is really greedy for money.
This kind of person will do anything for money. Not to mention food, even if Han Zhen wants infantry and crossbows, he might find a way to get them.
Of course, it is still in the nesting stage and no bait has been thrown, so it is too early to say this.
Thinking of this, Han Zhen stepped to the desk, took out a piece of letter paper, and wrote a letter with a wandering pen.
After reading it, Chang Zhixian on the side choked out this sentence: "If Han Erlang has time in the future, he should practice calligraphy more."
As a scholar, especially a top scholar, every time he reads a letter from Han Zhen, it is a kind of torture for him.
How do you say Han Zhen's handwriting? I can barely understand it.
But that’s all…
"Yeah, I will."
Han Zhen nodded, dried the ink on the paper, and began to fold the seal.
The degree of confidentiality of letters in the Northern Song Dynasty was much higher than that in the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to sealing the envelope with wax or wax, the letter itself also has confidentiality means.
Word envelopes are one of them. Written letters are folded in a unique way, and a word or mark is written on each fold.
If the letter has been opened midway, clues can be found from the envelope.
This trick was learned by Han Zhen from Changzhi County. After all, the two exchanged letters many times.
After sealing the letter with wax, Han Zhen called a servant and asked him to deliver the letter to the inn.
After handling these matters, he said seriously: "How much does Changzhi County know about Heishan Village?"
Hearing this, Chang Zhixian shook his head: "This county doesn't know much about Heishan Village. We only know that Master Xu had private business dealings with Heishan Village during his lifetime."
Seeing Han Zhen's serious expression, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Han Zhen reminded: "The Black Mountain Village should not be underestimated."
"There are just a bunch of bandits on the left and right, so what can we do?"
Chang Zhixian smiled contemptuously and didn't take it seriously.
Han Zhen sneered and told about the account book.
hiss!
Chang Zhixian took a breath of cold air.
This is just Chief Xu. Judging from the geographical location of Heishanzhai, he can reach out to Linzi County, which means that there are officials from at least two surrounding counties who are secretly colluding with them.
After so many years of accumulation, I am afraid that there are no less than a few thousand armors and not a thousand war horses, but 800.
At first, Changzhi County thought that Heishanzhai was just a group of relatively powerful bandits, but now it seems that King Li Tianwang has a big plan.
"Whether it's Gao Tuoshan or Zhang Wanxian, they look bluffing, but they are actually a bunch of rabble. Even without the Western Army taking action, just the state's forbidden troops are enough to give these rebels a drink."
Han Zhen paused and continued: "On the contrary, it is Heishan Village who is the real tough one. There is chaos in the north right now, but there is no movement in Heishan Village. He must be waiting for the opportunity. Just wait and see, it won't take long. Black Mountain Village will definitely become a blockbuster."
Chang Zhixian swallowed and urged: "In that case, why don't you expand the army?"
"There is no food and no weapons!"
Han Zhen smiled bitterly.
He also wants to expand his army.
In the past, it was always described as euphemistically saying that it is better to have fewer troops than to waste them, and to have more skilled troops rather than too many.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the food and ordnance cannot keep up, and there is really no choice but to take the route of elite troops.
As the county magistrate, he still wears bamboo armor now, so he knows how scarce weapons are.
But if you bear with it a little longer, things will get better in a while. When the salt making plant is built and the first batch of 100,000 kilograms of refined salt is produced, there will be no middlemen to make the difference, and the net profit will be at least 250,000 kilograms. .
Even excluding the dividends from Changzhi County and Zhao Ting, Liu Mi and others, there are still hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This money is enough to buy 40,000 to 50,000 shi of grain.
Moreover, the hydraulic forging workshop is almost completed. As long as materials such as pig iron can keep up, ordnance will continue to be produced day and night.
…
…
Montenegro.
Inside the Summit Juyi Hall.
The nine heads are all gathered here.
Even Sun Zhi, who was seriously injured and had yet to recover, was sitting on a recliner at the moment.
In the lobby, everyone had complicated expressions.
Excitement, excitement, apprehension, anticipation...several emotions intertwined together.
Suddenly, the big man sitting in the fifth position couldn't help it anymore and said loudly: "Master, Gao Tuoshan and Zhang Di have already started an uprising. What are we waiting for?"
This sentence immediately attracted the support of a group of bandits.
"That is, go to Tokyo City and chop off the head of the Dog Emperor."
"Fifth brother is right, fuck him."
"Kill the dog emperor, seize the bird throne, and make the master the emperor."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
…
Seeing Li Heihu frown slightly, Li Tianwang shouted: "Shut the hell up!"
This loud shout echoed in the lobby like a bell.
The shock made everyone's eardrums sting, and they were silent for a while.
Then, King Li Tian turned his head to look behind him and asked, "What did the master say?"
Li Heihu narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice with a murderous intent: "Now Zhang Wanxian has started an uprising in Qingzhou, and the navy has been corrupted. Only the armed guards are still capable of fighting. As long as the armed guards start to suppress the rebellion, Yidu will be empty. , we can raid Yidu and capture it in one fell swoop!”
The military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty can be divided into three categories: the forbidden army, the Xiang army, and the rural army.
Not to mention the Xiang army and the country soldiers, who doesn't know what kind of virtue these thieves have in joining the army? I'm afraid they are not even as good as the country warriors.
The only ones with fighting power are the Forbidden Army.
It's just that since Shenzong, the Forbidden Army has become useless, and now it has been completely defeated by Song Huizong. The Forbidden Army in Henan, Jiangnan, and Hebei are like craftsmen, and they can still use weapons.
Only the Western Army still maintained its combat effectiveness.
This is also the reason why the imperial court dispatched the Western Army to quell the rebellion in Fangla in the south.
There's nothing you can do, except for the Western Army, the other armies suck.
"inappropriate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Yin objected.
"Why?"
Li Heihu frowned.
Mr. Yin explained: "The boss needs to know that if you want to capture Shandong, you must first capture Jinan. If you capture Qingzhou, even if you can capture Yidu, you will be attacked from the front and rear and be surrounded and suppressed by Mi, Yi, Wei, and Zi. You can capture Jinan." It’s different, in this way it can echo with Gaotuo Mountain in Hebei Province, and at the same time form a horn with Zhang Di and Zhang Wanxian.”
"If you advance, you can destroy the capital and frighten Tokyo. If you retreat, you can conquer Shandong and make the territory your king."
Li Heihu thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, acknowledging his words.
At this time, the fourth master said: "But Zhang Shuye is in charge of Jinan Prefecture, and this person is not easy to get along with. Moreover, the Xingde Army has not moved. It will not be easy to capture Jinan Prefecture."
"So wait!"
Mr. Yin's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "We have been patient for many years, but we have become famous without making a sound. According to the spies, there are also several groups of rebels in Qizhou, ranging from twenty to thirty thousand to thousands. I don't believe him, Uncle Zhang. Don’t be tempted at night.”
"Once the Xingde army begins to suppress the rebellion, that will be the day we come out!"
The Sixth Master frowned and said: "Mr. Yin, even if the Xingde Army is dispatched, Jinan Mansion is a high city and a thick pool. I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat it for a while. If we come back for reinforcements, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any favors."
Mr. Yin smiled mysteriously and said confidently: "Don't worry, we will find out when the time comes!"
How could we not have a plan after enduring it for so many years?
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the fourth master.
Li Heihu stood up and said, "Okay, let's all disperse."
Hearing this, everyone stood up one after another, knowing that the head master and Mr. Yin were going to discuss details.
The fourth master deliberately stayed one step behind, waiting for Li Tianwang to pass by, and gave him a wink.
King Li Tian strode out of Juyi Hall without squinting his eyes.
After leaving the Juyi Hall, the two of them walked in opposite directions, one behind the other.
After walking around for a while, we met behind a remote back wall.
The fourth master lowered his voice and said, "Have you thought about it?"
"snort!"
King Li Tian snorted and scolded: "The previous head of the family was benevolent to me, and Heihu is also the wife that I, the matchmaker, are marrying. Don't mention this matter again."
The fourth master sneered: "The wife that the matchmaker is marrying? Don't deceive yourself. Has she ever regarded you as your husband?"
"..."
King Li Tian was silent for a moment.
The fourth master's words struck a chord in his heart.
There is no status for a son-in-law, especially Li Heihu has a strong character.
Seeing this, the fourth master took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Don't worry, Zhang Shuye has promised a certain family that when the matter is completed, he will recommend me to be the training envoy of the Yuezhou regiment, and you will be the defense envoy of Jinzhou! At that time, we will be upright fifth-rank officials and honor our ancestors."
"Marry a beautiful girl, take in three or five beautiful concubines, and live your happy life as an official."
Guangzong Yaozu, Meng Yin descendants.
This is the surefire way to win.
King Li Tianwang looked struggling. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "I...I'll think about it again!"
"Then you have to hurry up. If you miss the opportunity, you will never have another chance."
The Fourth Master did not press him, and after saying these words, he turned around and left.
Looking at the clouds and mist under the mountain, King Li Tian looked uncertain.
