"Treasure?" Li Xiang tapped the table lightly: "I don't know, what does Second Manager Zhao want me to do? There is still time. Recently, it is inconvenient for my Xiliang army to go out. If it is to be dispatched, it will not be until April next year at the earliest.
!”
Prime Minister Li has made a decision not to use weapons on a large scale this year. What Xiliang City needs to do now is to cultivate and recuperate. The most important thing is that Prime Minister Li has a bigger goal and wants more things.
Beyond the world to the east is the Great Wall Legion. The Great Wall Legion has more than 300,000 troops. The number of troops is greater than the entire population of Xiliang City.
If he unifies the outside of the Northwest Pass, what awaits him will be the annihilation of the Great Wall Army. Not to mention that he has formed an alliance with the Great Wall Army, but this alliance also needs to be recognized by the Great Wall Army.
As long as the Great Wall Legion does not approve it, the agreement between them will be thrown away like a fart.
The Great Wall Army cannot be offended for the time being, so why doesn't it develop westward or northwestward?
Xiliang farmers can grow crops on even the poorest land, turning wilderness into fertile fields and the Gobi desert into green forests.
Zhao Erdao: "It's still early, something will happen to that treasure after three years. City Lord Li only needs to lead his troops and take down Ji Mo City with me in three years!"
"Three years later..." Li Xiang was very confused: "Since it is three years later, why did Manager Zhao say it so early? Isn't he a little too anxious?"
Zhao Er said with a smile: "I'm a little anxious, but I'm also afraid that Xiliang City will develop too fast. It only takes less than a year for Xiliang City to become the top power outside the northwest pass of the city. Will Xiliang City become the top power outside the northwest pass next year?"
The only force outside the Northwest Pass?
Zhao can't budget for these, so he can only come over and make an agreement with City Lord Li first. Not everyone wants to see the unification outside the Northwest Pass!"
"..." Li Xiang could hear the reminder in Zhao Er's words: "Li has also thought about this issue, so we can only let nature take its course. There may be changes in a few years.
The Yulong Gang has a chamber of commerce that can return to Daqian, and Li happens to have some things that he wants to send back to the Imperial Capital, I wonder if Mr. Zhao can make it easier for him?"
This is also one of the reasons why he came to the small town. He has a mother and a younger sister in the Li family. The younger sister is also ten years old this year, and she has reached the age of laying the foundation.
His younger sister was different from him. He was found to have a high talent for cultivation when he was young. When he was in the imperial capital, he started saving money in order to buy some nice things for his younger sister.
Before coming to the Northwest Pass, he left the money he had saved over the past few years to his mother. It was not much, just a hundred taels. For an ordinary family, this was already a huge sum of money, but for a cultivator, this was
A few cents of silver is simply not enough.
In the past, he had no choice but to save a small amount of money. Now he has built Xiliang City outside the Northwest Pass. It is not inferior to those nobles, but it is not bad.
The most important thing is that various cultivation treasures are very common outside the Northwest Pass and their prices are not very high.
He has already asked people to collect a lot of medicinal materials, and is going to ask people from Qingye Xuan to help deliver them. Now there is the Yulong Gang to help, and Li Xiang trusts the Yulong Gang more.
"No problem, City Lord Li will just send the things to the Yulong Gang when the time comes!" Zhao Er said and stood up: "That's it for now. City Lord Li just arrived in the town and must be extremely tired, so Zhao won't bother you anymore.
!”
Zhao Er stood up to leave, and Li Xiang sent him out of the hall. He recalled Zhao Er's words and smiled. Treasures and the like are very precious and valuable in the eyes of others, but in her eyes they are not as useful as a pile of grain, gold, and silver.
.
No matter how good those treasures are, are the treasures on his body suitable for you?
Things don’t need to be the best, only the ones that are suitable are important!
In the small town, Charlie and Zhang Qingyun walked around until the sun set. They came back with a lot of things. Charlie wanted everything she saw, but it was Zhang Qingyun who spent the last money.
As the external general manager of Xiliang City, Zhang Qingyun's monthly salary is as high as one hundred taels. The monthly salary of other Xiliang soldiers is five taels of silver, and it is ten taels during the war. However, these silvers are all managed by Li Xiang.
When the Xiliang soldiers needed it, Li Xiang would give it to them.
Zhang Qingyun spent more than twenty taels of silver to give Charlie a lot of purchasing power. In Zhang Qingyun's opinion, it was just a bunch of useless things.
After getting the thing, Charlie happily gave Zhang Qingyun a kiss, which made Zhang Qingyun blush for a long time. This was the first time he had been kissed by a Western woman since he could remember!
After coming back and staying in the town for a few days, Li Xiang took Xia Li to leave the town, and Zhang Qingyun also returned to Qingzhu Village. Now Xiliang City is developing rapidly.
Li Xiang needed to visit Beixuan City and Nanli City. At the same time, he also had a plan. After Xiliang City became famous, a large number of people who were expelled outside the Northwest Pass chose to join Xiliang City.
There are two cities in the north and south of Liangcheng.
There are also small forces around Xiliang City who have come over one after another. The population of the two cities has reached about 20,000 each. Adding the population of Qingzhu Village and the previous prisoners, there are already nearly 60,000 people outside Xiliang City.
people.
Most of these 60,000 people are young and middle-aged. Most of these people have seen blood. They only need some training to become a group of bandits.
Li Xiang wanted to recruit an army from these people and train them by Xiliang soldiers according to the training methods in their minds.
The population of Xiliang City is limited, and cannon fodder is needed on the battlefield. Among these people are many guys that Li Xiang despises, so let these guys contribute their own strength to the strength of Xiliang City.
Prime Minister Li had already thought of the name of this army, and it was called the Sin Army.
This is the seventh legion of Xiliang City.
There are currently six legions in Xiliang City, five legions of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are controlled by five people including Li Jin.
The sixth legion is called the Guards Legion, and its commander is Li Xiang. The six legions are still in the initial stage, but in the later stages, the number of each legion will probably reach 100,000.
Prime Minister Li doesn't know what it takes to train so many soldiers. People still need a little fantasy!
Take Xia Li to Beixuan City by boat.
Beixuan City, formerly known as Black Tiger City, no one expected that Black Tiger City, which was so majestic at this time a year ago, with three armies, would be destroyed in just one year, and the whereabouts of Black Tiger City's lord, Black Tiger, were even unknown.
The demise of Black Tiger City brought about the rise of Xiliang City. Black Tiger City was renamed Beixuan City, and the major resource points outside the city were also taken back bit by bit by Beixuan City.
All the territory previously owned by Black Tiger City was taken over by Beixuan City, and those who did not cooperate were wiped out by Beixuan City's powerful troops.
Li Xiang led people to Beixuan City, and Li Shui led his army to the dock to greet him. The people in Beixuan City finally saw what the master of their city looked like.
Li Xiang stayed in Beixuan City for more than ten days. Soon after Li Xiang left, Beixuan City began to recruit soldiers, and people living in Beixuan City responded one after another.
This is the first time Xiliang City has recruited troops. The attention of other major forces has also been attracted, and they have sent spies. They are eager to know how Xiliang City trains soldiers.
The soldiers in Xiliang City want to own a qualified general whenever they see one. They want to know how to train troops in Xiliang City!
After leaving Beixuan City, Li Xiang came to Nanli City. He stayed in Nanli City for a longer time, almost a month. The entire Northwest Pass was completely white, the town was closed, and the people in the town left.
small town.
Li Xiang returned to Xiliang City in the heavy snow...
western world
Camos was riding on a yak covered in long black hair, with goose feathers and heavy snow falling on him, and the yak left deep marks on the snow.
Behind Camos was a long team of 300 people and more than 600 yaks, carrying a large amount of supplies.
Bringing those snow salts back to the Western world, Camos and his party immediately disposed of them. As a golden warrior, he also had power behind him, and his family was a top noble.
Their chamber of commerce had just been established and did not have enough strength to control the snow salt. He sold the snow salt for forty silver coins, leaving twenty silver coins for forty. These twenty silver coins were the money of Xiliang City.
, the remaining twenty silver coins were theirs, and they used the remaining money to exchange for various supplies and these yaks.
The price of these yaks is not very valuable in the northwest grassland. One yak is only ten silver coins, and six hundred cows are one hundred and twenty gold coins.
These cattle are the capital they dare to set out in winter.
The yaks' thick long hair can withstand the cold. They sleep with these yaks at night, relying on the heat from the yaks to drive away the cold. The yaks' huge bodies can also carry a large amount of cargo.
They spent 500 gold coins to buy various supplies. After purchasing various supplies, they still had nearly 3,000 gold coins left. These gold coins were the capital they used to buy snow salt this time.
Camos deeply felt that the trip to the East was an opportunity for the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce to make a fortune. Last time, because they had no gold coins, they could only exchange their own people for labor in exchange for 3,300 gold coins.
this time
They themselves have three thousand gold coins. With three thousand gold coins, they can buy nearly ten thousand catties of snow salt. They can also borrow some money from Xiliang City to make up twenty thousand catties of snow salt.
Twenty thousand kilograms of snow salt, this should be what the top nobles in the Western world currently spend for a month.
Camos knew that goods were rare and expensive, and snow salt should not appear too much. Moreover, snow salt had to be sold through his family's channels. This thing was really a bit sensitive.
When they Yuan Zheng reaches the top ten chambers of commerce in the Western world, they will show it out. The snow salt cannot be shown, but they can show off the exquisite items from the Eastern world.
Camos and his party were marching in the wind and snow for their future. The whole team was silent, everyone wore thick clothes, and slowly disappeared into the snow.
The imperial capital of Daqian, the center of the entire Eastern world, where the owner of Daqian lives, has a ten-foot-high outer city wall like a giant dragon sitting on the ground. Every six miles or so on the city wall, there will be a city gate, a side
The city wall has sixteen gates.
This is the outer city of Daqian City. About ten miles from the outer city, you will reach the middle city of Daqian City. Going further in, you will reach the inner city of Daqian City.
Dagan City was continuously expanded by the Daqian royal family for thousands of years. The permanent population of Dagan City is as high as eight million, and the flow of people coming and going is extremely huge.
The number of troops stationed in this city reaches 500,000, and including police officers, the number reaches almost 700,000.
There are very few people in the outer city of Daqian City, most of them are professional farmers. The outer city is farmland. If the city is besieged, you can rely on the farmland in the outer city to ensure that there is enough food in the city.
The middle city is where people live. Most of the people in the imperial capital live in the middle city. The inner city is the core of Daqian City. The dignitaries live in the inner city. It is also the richest place in the entire Daqian, with feasting and feasting. ...
White snow covers this majestic city, which is called the least likely city to be captured by the world, and the sky and the earth are completely white.
The sons of the rich and powerful in the city, dressed in gorgeous clothes, rode on BMWs purchased from the northwest region, and wore exquisite weapons that did not look like weapons, but more like decorations. They called for friends and rode toward the outer city. go.
"Xiaoya, do you want to go out and play with your sister?"
In the backyard of the Li Mansion, the general's gate, a delicate-looking woman wearing a snow-white fox fur and a bright red cloak said to the little girl who was building and cutting a snowman alone in the snow not far away.
The little girl raised her little face that was red from the cold and made a clear voice: "Fourth sister, I have to go to school later. You also know that Mr. Zhang likes to hit people's palms the most. If you skip his class today, you will definitely miss him tomorrow." Being beaten.”
"Hahaha!" The fox-fur woman chuckled: "Old Master Zhang really has a stubborn temper, so I'll leave first!"
The fox-fur woman left quickly, but some of her friends were still waiting for her. Li Ya looked at the direction in which the fox-fur woman left, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she looked at the snowman in front of her, with some tears in her eyes.
In the past, at this time every year, her brother would take her outside the city to enjoy the snow, but everything has changed since last year.
"Miss!" A hoarse voice came. Li Ya turned around and saw an old man standing not far away and said excitedly: "The young master has written a letter and brought back a lot of things!"
"Brother wrote back!" Li Ya trotted back to the yard excitedly, and saw a large number of boxes placed in the yard, almost filling the yard, and some guards were guarding the yard.
"Mrs. Li, everything has been delivered. We can't stay here for a long time. If something happens in the future, you can go to the Yuji Chamber of Commerce and we will do our best to help!"
A middle-aged man cupped his hand to the dignified-looking woman in the hall and slowly exited the hall. When he saw Li Ya running in, he cupped his hand with a smile and left with the outside hand.
The Li family guards also left. Li Ya trotted to the hall and said to the dignified-looking woman: "Mom, I heard from Uncle Zhang that I received a letter from my brother. How is my brother doing? What are those things outside?"
Zhang Junyue touched Li Ya's head and said with some relief: "Well, finally there is news!"
