"Okay, let the person wait outside the door, I'll be out right away!" Tang Yin also wanted to know how much material he had plundered this time.
"Yes! Sir!" Tang Zhong responded, turned around and walked out.
After he left, Tang Yin picked up a coat, put it on his body, smiled at Fan Min, and said, "Xiao Min, come with me to see it!"
"Okay!" Fan Min agreed immediately without thinking. Even if Tang Yin didn't invite, she still wanted to take the initiative to follow. Of course, it was not to see the supplies of the barbarian country, but mainly to stay with Tang Yin.
The military depot is located in the northeast of Hengcheng, not far from the barracks. Most of the military equipment, food, grass, and equipment of the Pingyuan Army are stored here. It is naturally tightly guarded and heavily guarded.
When Tang Yin and Fan Min arrived, Qiu Zhen and Xiao Muqing were waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Tang Yin coming, they quickly stepped forward to greet him, bowed deeply and said, "Sir!" Then Xiao Muqing politely greeted Fan Min.
Said: "Miss Fan Min."
Xiao Muqing is a very smart person. Although he doesn't know the exact relationship between Fan Min and Tang Yin, Fan Min lives in Tang Yin's house. It seems that the two have a close relationship, and Fan Min has a strong family background, so he doesn't dare to be too rude.
Tang Yin nodded towards the two of them and asked, "Have all the trophies been sorted out?"
"Yes, sir!" Qiu Zhen handed the account book to Tang Yin for review.
The latter took it and looked at it briefly. The details and quantities of the materials returned from the plunder were recorded inside. After looking at it for a while, Tang Yin raised his head and said, "Go inside and have a look!"
At this time, various supplies have been sorted and neatly stacked in the military warehouse.
He casually opened a small box, which contained copper coins from the city-state of Besa. Tang Yin grabbed a handful and said, "These things can only be melted down."
Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "Sir, if we are not in urgent need of money now, I think it is better to keep these silver and copper coins for the time being."
"Why?" Tang Yin asked, "What's the use of staying?"
"I can't tell clearly now, but we can't fight a lifelong war with barbarians. We may be able to use these things in the future." Qiu Zhen said in a calm tone.
After hearing this, Tang Yin disagreed, but he didn't insist anymore. He still valued Qiu Zhen's opinion. Everything Qiu Zhen said made sense. He shrugged and said, "It's up to you!"
"Haha!" Qiu Zhen laughed, but Xiao Muqing on the side couldn't laugh. The relationship between Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen is too deep, which can be felt from the conversation and behavior between the two. Although his confidence and ability are inferior to Qiu Zhen's
But it is not easy to take his place.
Tang Yin inspected the weapons and armor again, and finally stopped in front of the decorations of the city-state of Besa.
The ornaments in the city-state of Bessa are mostly made of copper or silver, with different shapes and strange patterns, but they look quite exquisite, and all of them are carefully crafted by craftsmen.
Tang Yin casually picked up a wine cup, turned around and asked Fan Min: "Xiao Min, is it possible to sell these things from Barbarian State?" Feng Ren hated and feared Barbarian State, so naturally he didn't want anything from Barbarian State.
Hi, he didn't know whether he could sell it or not.
Fan Min is very talented and comes from a wealthy family of merchants, so he naturally possesses the mind and vision of a businessman.
She took the wine cup from Tang Yin's hand, looked at it over and over, and then smiled. She returned the wine cup to Tang Yin and said: "This kind of thing cannot be sold in Pingyuan County, and no one dares to buy or use it, but
, if we get it in Yancheng, those dignitaries will spend a lot of money to buy it."
"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes brightened when he heard this. Qiu Zhen and Xiao Muqing also became energetic and looked at Fan Min without blinking.
Fan Min explained with a smile: "Things that are rare are valuable! Things from the Barbarian Kingdom are very rare, and the high-ranking officials and aristocrats all like rare things. Buying them back and displaying them at home can show their status. In addition, the Barbarian Kingdom is tough and tough.
The wealthy people in the capital have a vague sense of worship for the barbarian state. It is a very glorious thing to get the trophies of the barbarian state, which is enough for them to show off everywhere. Therefore, these things are worthless in Pingyuan County, but luck
It will definitely sell well in Yancheng or other vassal states."
Oops! After hearing this, everyone around him couldn't help but look at Fan Min with admiration, including Tang Yin. As expected, he was the son of a wealthy businessman. He had unique vision, shrewd mind, and methodical analysis. He was simply a born businessman.
Qiu Zhen asked again: "Then the slaves of the barbarians can be sold at a good price if they are brought to Yancheng?"
"Of course!" Fan Min said with certainty: "It can be sold for almost two to three times the price of a normal slave."
Tang Yin was very happy when he heard this and said: "Xiao Min, please find someone to transport these barbarian ornaments to Yancheng. If you can, sell them. If you can't, don't force them. At least they can be turned into copper and silver after being melted."
Fan Min shook his head and smiled, and said confidently: "It won't be like that. You should believe my vision."
Tang Yin looked at Fan Min and his heart moved. When it came to business matters, Fan Min immediately changed from a little woman to a shrewd businessman, more charming and radiant. Such a woman, no matter who
Everyone is tempted, and Tang Yin is no exception.
The materials seized from Beast King City gave the Pingyuan Army a lot. The refined steel extracted from weapons and armors alone filled the shortage of the arsenal, allowing the recruits of the Pingyuan Army to get brand-new weapons and bring them back.
All that food and grass also went into the Pingyuan Army's granary.
As for the ornaments of the Barbarian state, Fan Min asked the servants of the Fan family to transport them to Yancheng for sale. The effect was unexpectedly good. The trophies of the Barbarian state were very popular in Yancheng. Not only the princes and dignitaries competed to buy them, but also businessmen from other vassal states.
Spend a lot of money to buy it and take it back to your home country to sell it.
Five boxes of Barbarian ornaments were sold out on the third day after they arrived in Yancheng. This was unexpected by everyone. The five boxes of loot were exchanged for 200,000 taels of silver, which made Pingyuan County's silver
The library is more abundant.
The weapons, armor, and grain of the barbarians can be used for his own use, and the barbarian ornaments and slaves can be exchanged for large sums of money. Tang Yin finally realized the way of plundering and strengthening the army, and stepped up his sneak attacks on barbarian towns.
In the past few days, the Pingyuan Army relied on the mobility of Mozambique's war horses to invade Besa's territory one after another, marching straight in and sneaking attacks on Besa's towns and villages. The more trophies they got, the stronger the Pingyuan Army became, and the amount of horses they purchased increased.
The bigger it gets, making plunder more frequent.
This is a virtuous cycle for the Pingyuan Army. It not only obtains a large amount of materials and money, but also allows the army to be tempered in continuous battles. It also greatly reduces the fear of the barbarians among the people in Pingyuan County, and their fear of the barbarians is greatly reduced.
For the city-state of Sasha, this is undoubtedly a vicious cycle and a nightmare that makes people sit on pins and needles.
The city-state of Besa has always attacked and plundered neighboring countries. When has it ever been bullied like this by other countries?
In response to the frequent incursions of the plain army, the city-state of Besa also sent heavy troops to intercept it. However, at this time, the intelligence organization headed by Lotte came into play and accurately reported the movements of the barbarian soldiers to Tang Yin. Tang Yin immediately changed the attack route to avoid the barbarian state.
The heavy troops continued to attack the barbarian towns.
Unable to stop them, Bessa retreated to the next best thing and set up heavy ambushes in some towns, waiting for the wind army to attack so that they could surround and annihilate them. At this time, the intelligence organization headed by Aijia came into play and immediately killed the barbarians.
The return of the intelligence from Bangcheng Town allowed Tang Yin to clearly understand the truth and falsehood of the other party.
It can be said that the two intelligence agencies, Lotte and Aijia, played a vital role in the smooth invasion of the Pingyuan Army. They also allowed the Pingyuan Army's cavalry to travel across Besa's territory unhindered and come and go freely, as if they were entering an uninhabited land.
The Pingyuan Army's transformation from passivity to initiative once again confirmed the saying that "the best defense is offense." The city-state of Besa was busy dealing with the Pingyuan Army's invasion, but the harassment of the Feng Kingdom's territory was gone. The continuous battles did not let the Pingyuan Army
The county was in decline, but it has become more stable. The whole county is becoming more prosperous, and even the border towns that were previously unpopular now have residents and businesses.
At the beginning, Tang Yin personally participated in the sneak attack, but after following him a few times, he felt that the battle was very easy, so he no longer accompanied the army, but assigned the commanders of the five corps to take turns in the battle.
His principle is to attack, attack, and attack again, forcing his opponent to make mistakes with constant attacks, so that his side can seize opportunities and gain more benefits.
There are 80,000 people in the Pingyuan Army. It can be regarded as the county with the largest number of troops in Tianyuan County and even in the entire Feng Kingdom. In the constant battle against Bessa, almost everyone in the Pingyuan Army has the opportunity to go into battle. The soldiers are generally trained and have extremely strong combat effectiveness.
, even compared with the Yancheng Wangting Directly Affiliated Corps, it is almost the same.
The Pingyuan Army will also be the ace army that will be most loyal to Tang Yin and have the strongest combat effectiveness in the future.
While plundering spoils from Besa, he was rewarded by the royal court for merit. Coupled with the local tax revenue from Pingyuan County, the county treasury has become increasingly rich. The accumulated grain and grass can support even 100,000 troops, not to mention 80,000 troops.
of life.
This period of time should be regarded as the most relaxed and comfortable time for Tang Yin in Pingyuan County. Life is far less tense than before, and there are not many affairs. He is relaxed and has more interactions with his generals.
In the past, Pingyuan County was full of difficulties. Tang Yin was busy all day long and could not chat with his subordinates except for official duties. But it is different now. He can take time out to hunt, play, eat and drink with others.
On the battlefield, fighting side by side can cultivate brotherly feelings, and drinking can do the same. As the exchanges between Tang Yin and his generals increase, the relationship between them becomes closer, and they can even call each other brothers in private.
On this day, Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing, Zhang Zhou and other regiment commanders went out hunting.
In terms of archery, Tang Yin was not good at it, but he was not bad at it. He had gained a lot in the morning. Everyone went to the largest restaurant in Hengcheng for dinner with the game they had brought back.
The restaurant's name is Jubinlou, and it is opened by Fan Min. Tang Yin and the others are regular customers. In addition, their identities are different from ordinary people, and they have Fan Min's relationship, so the waiter in the restaurant naturally greets him warmly.
He handed all the game to the waiter, and then everyone took their seats in the private rooms on the second floor.
