Chapter 165
The new currency was first circulated in Daijun, and behind it was the credit endorsement of Daijun Xingjun Mansion.
In fact, there is no need to be such a trouble. The exquisite new coins replace black and inconvenient cloth coins. The merchants and families welcomed each other. The exchange of old coins was even more enthusiastic. They thought they had made money. Zhao Xing re-melted the bronze coins. After obtaining pure copper, he obtained two points of the most precious metal tin, and then added four parts of lead. This time he made two points of interest.
Tin is a good thing to plaster metal with gold, allowing his warriors to wear silver armor without having to worry about the rusting of iron armor and no longer worry about the rusting of weapons.
In this way, using cheap iron to replace expensive bronze armor, and then melt it into a vessel or money. After consuming it like this, Zhao Xing felt ashamed of making money.
After having a large sum of money in his hand, Zhao Xing decided to train another cavalry of 20,000 yuan.
The last time, 20,000 cavalry were killed in battle, and 10,000 were handed over to Zhao She to guard the four levels. Three thousand were given to Qin Mo, and became the team of an army formed by Qin Mo. Now there are only five thousand left in Dai County, which is not possible when all three sides are enemies. The most important thing is that Lin Hu has become in chaos as expected. He needs to be prepared at all times, preparing to send troops to intervene at the right time, or directly destroy Lin Hu.
"How is Loufan's victory this time?" Zhao Xing asked Qi Fei.
Qi Fei smiled and said, "If you can't eat enough, you can't starve to death. The three families are about the same loss. But in Zhongshan, they were defeated. If it weren't for the doctor Wei Yong's army to rescue him, Lou Fan would have been a big defeat."
"It seems that Bai Di's descendants have not reduced their wolf nature, which has caused my good Anda to suffer a loss, but no problem. I will avenge him when the time comes."
"The current Zhongshan is in its heyday. The current Zhongshan Wangcuo inherited the foundation of the two generations of ancestors who worked hard to govern. It is even more conscientious and its strength should not be underestimated." Wei Yong carefully reported the strength of his future opponents.
Zhao Xing was shocked. Unexpectedly, his future enemies were so powerful that they were difficult to deal with.
"But it is difficult to deal with, and we must also handle it. We must eliminate this serious problem that is inserted into Zhao's heart. We must prepare for this goal at any time."
"Oh, Lord."
"Is there a Zhongshan prisoner sold to us by Loudi this time?"
"There are, but not many, only about 20,000 yuan. We left three thousand ourselves and sold the rest. Now, slaves are very popular among us."
"Take me to see, I want to learn more about Zhongshan's national strength in detail and do my best to know myself and your enemy."
According to regulations, the slaves purchased by one's own family will be sent to ore to dig iron ore or coal mines in the first year, which is called tempering. Then, the second year, the ones who are selected will be transferred to brick and tile factories or iron factories for work, which will cultivate their discipline and improve their treatment. Three years later, they will be released and given land to them, become commoners of the county, or continue to work in their own factories and become workers.
If you still have a stubborn life after three choices, you can only be a miner forever or kill him directly. In Dai County, there are absolutely no hidden dangers allowed, whether it is a slave or a family.
I first inspected the mine. The management of the mine was good. Because of the opportunity to make progress, the slaves were very active in their work and wanted to get out of this miserable and dark world as soon as possible, so they were very motivated.
But after asking a few slaves from Zhongshan, he was unaware of the problem.
When he arrived at the brick and tile factory, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel attracted by something in the dark, and his eyes were on two people, one big and one small.
Because this old man is about twenty years old and the younger man is only five or six years old, he is dressed like other slaves but not different from other slaves.
But this old man and a young man gives people an inexplicable and wonderful feeling of attention. It is so unique that you can't help but take a few more glances.
Zhao Xing couldn't help but walk to the young man: "What's your name?"
The young man put down the work in his hand and stood up, looked at Zhao Xing's noble outfit, and then pulled up the child beside him.
The child was only five years old, but he did not hide timidly when he saw this group of people like other children. Instead, he looked at Zhao Xing and others boldly. When the young man asked him to pay homage, he also knelt down and kowtowed as if he was decent.
The young man said, "How should a villain call him Zun?"
Zhao Xing said with interest: "I am the King of Tang."
The young man immediately bowed again according to the etiquette of bowing to the marquis.
"Do you still understand Zhou Li? It's rare."
"Xiaomin is the descendant of Le Yang, and Le Yi. His family has fallen into the ground and shepherds the white di. This time he was captured by Lou Fanren and sold to the Marquis's disciple as a slave."
Zhao Xing's eyes lit up: "Talents are talents, and they are eye-catching everywhere. An educated person is educated, and you can see the origin of monks at any time. Le Yi, right? If you are willing to join our army, I will immediately remove your slave status and restore your name to a scholar."
After hearing such good news, Le Yi did not rejoice in his envious eyes with his companions around him. Wei Yong scolded dissatisfiedly: "A slave, if he has such an opportunity, isn't he grateful, but he pretends to be proud and arrogant here. Why are you?"
Le Yi replied faintly: "The Marquis is just a subordinate of a king, and it is equivalent to a retainer. I will be a soldier of a retainer. What can I be grateful for?" Then he said proudly: "The king will be arrogant and lose his country, and the prince will be arrogant and loses his fiefdom. If a person as humble as me is arrogant, what else can I lose? Here for three years, I will wear my shoes and leave, and I will not get poverty or humbleness."
"Philosophy." Zhao Xing really admired Le Yi and stepped forward to give a deep bow: "If I treat my husband with the courtesy of a national scholar, would he be willing to stay and stay with a subordinate of a king?"
Le Yi was stunned. He really didn't expect that this real marquis of the Zhou Dynasty would treat him in front of thousands of slaves with such politeness and politeness, and so straightforwardness. How could he not move him?
Now he returned the gift: "The Marquis treats me as a national hero, and I should repay the loyalty of the national hero."
Zhao Xing was overjoyed and grabbed Le Yi and said, "Come on, hurry up and go back to the house for a banquet."
But Le Yi broke free from his hand and begged again: "I have a younger brother who I met when I was captured this time. Please help the Lord to remove his slave status and let him follow me."
The little official who managed the place quickly stepped forward and explained: "When we bought him, he asked him to take the child. Seeing that he was very handsome and reluctant to abandon him, I agreed to him and spent five sheepskins. Then the gentleman took the child wherever he went. Fortunately, the child was obedient and kept doing this. I also asked the Lord to forgive his subordinates for his money and food."
Zhao Xing smiled and said generously: "Sweet old man and poor, it is our true intention. What's wrong with it?" Then he squatted down and asked the child: "Where are you from and what's your name?"
This child was like a decent gift: "A native of Kujing, Zhongshan, has a surname of Ji, Lian, and his name is Po. If Le Yi delayed his talent because of me, I would like to go."
Zhao Xing sat on the ground with his butt. Looking at this little brat, he always looked like a white-haired and mighty old man, which made Zhao Xing feel extremely unreal and awkward.
Unexpectedly, in the late Warring States period, the eight famous generals were taken by themselves today.
At that time, he said to the little official who was helping him with fear and fear: "Five sheepskins, hehe, it's very cost-effective. I will reward you with five hundred sheepskins."
The little official really didn't know the reason why the pie fell from the sky, so he quickly refused. Zhao Xing said seriously: "No need to refuse, you will know how cost-effective our business is in the future."
This is really cost-effective.
