Sweep the World

Zhang Shi met Jiang Gan in a small building. Jiang Gan gave him the first impression that he was a martial artist, that is... With full spirit.

"The Han Dynasty has its own smelting technology?" Jiang Gan also wore a kind of corset. What is different from the Han Dynasty is that his style is more fancy. He looked at Zhang Shi kneeling opposite him and said, "there's also the secret of drying salt?"

The environment of the small building is very quiet, with green bamboo and flowing water. It should be arranged by experts, but I don't know why it has become an outing.

Zhang Shi didn't want to answer at all. He opened his mouth and asked that kind of question. You can imagine what to talk about next. He had an impulse to stand up and leave.

What the Hu people want is to rob. Most of Ran min's shogunate are Jin people, but don't expect how civilized you can be. What you want is the word "rob".

Jiang Gan saw that Zhang Shi didn't say a word, "ha ha" smiled a few times: "what does the leader of the Han Department want?"

Zhang Shi finally turned his attention to Jiang Gan and said, "my lord hopes to have a backer in the court...". He frowned slightly and sighed low: "when the general comes, he will ask about smelting and drying salt. Your Lord doesn't think he will be a good backer."

Jiang Gan was not angry either. He said, "have you heard that every man is innocent and bears his sins?"

Zhang Shi nodded: "since my Lord took out the goods for trading, he didn't want to hide the secret method of smelting and drying salt." Seeing a smile on Jiang Gan's face, he also smiled, and then said, "just to whom, not to whom?"

The method of drying salt may still be useful, but smelting technology is a little chicken rib for most people. Smelting technology is available in the imperial court. Officials want to make smelting method very simple, but with smelting method, there must be craftsmen and fixed ore sources.

For many people, craftsmen are not difficult to obtain and cultivate. The difficulty is the fixed source of ore. It is not something that a single family can control. Many times, which family intends to control a vein is not far from extermination.

What ran min really wants is the complete refuge of the Han ministry, so that the productivity of the Han ministry can become his productivity, that is to say, Liu Yan is dispensable, but the ore channels and craftsmen will be in his hands.

How do you know that the Han Dynasty has the power to produce weapons and salt? As long as there is to inquire, it is not difficult to know. After all, Liu Yan never wanted to hide from the beginning. Ran min will not be the first to reach out, nor will he be the last.

Want to sell goods in exchange for the resources you need, and want to keep it secret? What logic is this? A little fuss can't satisfy Liu Yan's appetite. That's why he didn't intend to hide it from the beginning. In addition, some forces will be attracted, but that is exactly what he wants to happen. He can get in touch with those forces and get what he needs.

Jiang Gan was silent when he heard Zhang Shi say that.

Yes, the Han Dynasty can offer it, but who isn't it?

"What does the Han leader want?" Jiang Gan asked again.

"My Lord's price is 200 sabres or swords in exchange for the post of Sheriff of Changguang county." Zhang Shi paused, took a sip of the wine, and said, "you can offer 1000 kilograms of salt every season. If you have something to do in the court, you can help."

Jiang Gan frowned, "where are the weapons?"

"In addition to salt, weapons are not offered." Zhang Shi said very seriously: "in addition to a thousand kilograms of salt, you can only trade if you want more."

Jiang Gan squinted at Zhang Shi, slightly ill intentioned: "that is to say, the Han ministry does not intend to take refuge in Xiucheng Hou?"

"Take refuge? Xiucheng Hou dare to accept my Lord's refuge?" Zhang Shi said with a trace of Absurdity: "you have inquired about us. I think you should know that Qingzhou is just one of my Lord's industries. Do you think that my Lord has all the power in Qingzhou?"

It can be understood that Liu Yan is not from Hou Zhao at all. He has his own tribe somewhere. As for where the tribe is, guess!

No one really thinks that Liu Yan's strength is so strong. You know, Liu Yan has come up with at least 1200 elite troops.

The reason why elite is elite is that it is not an army that can be trained casually. If you can take out 1200 elite, even if it is all the elite of Liu Yan, there should be 20000 or 30000 soldiers with poor level behind. In this way, there can be twenty or thirty thousand soldiers. How can the size of the tribe be more than 100000?

According to the speculation of a group of people in ran min's shogunate, Liu Yan's origin will never be simple. It can't be the north of the Great Wall. It should be in the east of Liaoning. Liu Yan should not be a real name.

Are there any forces in Liaodong? Quite a lot. The strongest are Murong Xianbei, followed by Duan Xianbei, Koguryo, Fuyu and other small tribes or countries.

Because Liu Yan has just entered the vision of various family forces, it is impossible to collect too detailed information in a short time, so he can only try to reduce the scope by relying on limited information and rich enough imagination, and finally confirm it.

Do you know what conclusion ran min's think tanks finally reached? They think that Liu Yan will not be Xianbei or the sand mixed by Jin. They exclude those powerful countries with strength and no motivation, and strangely come to the conclusion that Liu Yan is from Koguryo!

It really has some factual basis! Koguryo received quite a number of Jin refugees, and Koguryo was actually highly sinicized in culture. Ran min's think tanks also came up with "evidence". Liu Yan's army combat style was similar to that of the Jin army, but it was not a little tougher than that of the Jin army. Liu Yan's army uniform and armor style were completely the "Han Army" style, It happened that Koguryo also maintained the style of "Han Army".

Of course, knowing it doesn't mean you have to say it. Jiang Gan showed that he wanted to annex the Han Dynasty for his own use, but it was another test. Seeing that Zhang Shi was so calm and basically more firm, the Han Dynasty was the "chess piece" of Koguryo.

"... yes, the imperial court fought with Murong Xianbei the year before last and won." Jiang Gan himself talked about the war against Xianbei. With a smile, he said: "Xianbei was beaten to the South and has turned to the front of the army. It seems that... He turned his eyes to Fuyu, Lou Yi and Chen Chen..." he stared at Zhang Shi and deliberately delayed the ending before saying: "of course, there are Koguryo."

Zhang Shi's heart was a thousand turns. He frowned appropriately, then raised his wine and sipped it. His series of actions seemed to cover up something, and he really wanted to cover up, but he really didn't know where the object of his loyalty came from.

"If you want to build Hou's strength, there is too little salt of 1000 kilograms per season." Jiang Gan thought his plan had succeeded and offered: "a thousand kilograms a month, and another twenty swords."

"More..." Zhang Shi's tone was not so firm: "two thousand kilograms per quarter, weapons... Can be twenty."

"No! That's the amount I mentioned below. In addition, you need to leave some of the weapons for your own use and sell the rest to Xiucheng Hou. Except Qingzhou..." Jiang Gan said with a fixed expression: "Xiucheng Hou will resell the salt in other places."

"Let me report." Zhang Shi said with difficulty, "if Xiucheng hou can persuade the Yao family, the Li family, the Lu family, the Du family, the Xu family and the Yin family... We naturally have no opinion."

Jiang Gan immediately turned his face and said, "what do you mean?"

"My Lord didn't deliberately hide it. Xiucheng Hou didn't know about my Lord." Zhang Shi smiled bitterly and said, "since Xiucheng Hou has come, I think... Other families will not give up?"

Jiang Gan's face suddenly became very bad and thought, "it's really... A big problem!"
