Li Xiang brought a hundred Xiliang soldiers back from Qingzhu Village in the south, leaving 400 soldiers in Qingzhu Village. Originally, Li Xiang planned to bring some prisoners back, but later he thought that he was coming back with gold and silver, and no one knew about those Are there one or two talented people among the prisoners who could leave some marks on their way back?
For the safety of the Xiliang camp, Li Xiang did not take those people with him. When he walked to the end of the avenue, the gold and silver he originally pushed became Xiliang soldiers and carried them. They continued to erase traces along the way until they reached the sentry post. Only when you show up will you feel more relaxed.
Seeing that Li Xiang brought back nearly twenty boxes of gold and silver from one trip, Li Yi's eyes were full of confusion. When did there be so much gold and silver?
When Li Xiang put the silver in the warehouse, a number appeared on the silver page, 13,453 taels of silver, and when he put the gold in, 4,931 taels of gold appeared.
Even if it were placed in Daqian, it would be an extremely huge sum of money. Li Xiangzhen didn't know why there was so much gold and silver in a place like the Northwest Pass.
The plunder plan in my mind grew bigger and bigger.
"Lord, with this gold and silver we can train swordsmen and archers!" Li Yi didn't care where the gold and silver came from. She only knew that the gold and silver went into the warehouse of their Xiliang camp, that is It is impossible to return the things from their Xiliang camp.
With these gold and silver, they can recruit archers and swordsmen. Archers are one of the three major branches of long-range arms in the empire system, while swordsmen are the main branch of another branch of infantry.
Although these two arms are a bit expensive, they are worth the price. There are many boxes for archers in the Xiliang camp, whether for launching a war or hunting. Junior archers can become intermediate archers, advanced archers and so on through war training. The ultimate marksman, you can also change your profession to become a mounted archer when you reach the intermediate level.
The cavalry archer is a special unit among the cavalry. In the Age of Empires, there was a dynasty that almost unified the world and established an extremely large empire by relying on the cavalry archer unit.
This unit lost its former prestige after the empire's major arms absorbed the essence of the True Three and Warcraft. In the later period of the empire, archers were combined with this unit. Although the combat effectiveness was not as abnormal as before (mainly due to There are too many arms that can restrain him), but in cooperation with other arms, his combat effectiveness is even more powerful.
Li Xiang looked at the gold and silver and then looked at the amount of grain. There are now 100,000 units of grain in the camp warehouse: "Has the harvest of grain started in Juhu?"
When Li Yi heard Li Xiang's question, he remembered that there was another piece of good news that he had not told Li Xiang: "Well, the grain harvest in Juhu has been harvested. The grain output per acre is one hundred units more than the previous budget." .
On the fifth day after you left, my lord, the grain over there began to be harvested. Now there is a large amount of grain stored in the granary over there, waiting for people to transport it back.
The city wall is being built here and I am a little short of manpower, so I can only rely on the previous transportation team and some militiamen who do not need to be on duty for the time being."
At this point, Li Yi couldn't help but complain: "Lord, the road from Juhu to our side is too bad. Many people fell and got injured while transporting food. It's hard to push a wheelbarrow. We have to hurry up and repair it." Main highway.
It's good that it's early spring now. If we wait until late spring and it rains heavily, we won't be able to build roads in time. At that time, the second batch of grain is harvested, and Nongyi is leading people to reclaim the fields. I guess
By late spring, the number of fields there will reach 8,000 acres!"
"I am already preparing for this problem!" Li Xiang said: "I have captured nearly two hundred prisoners in the south. After a while, when the archers and swordsmen are trained, I can bring those prisoners over to build roads.
We are still a little weak now, if we had enough strength, we wouldn't need to cover up anymore."
Li Yi nodded and continued: "The camp is a little short of manpower now. My lord, should you recruit more?"
Half of the people in the Xiliang camp are soldiers. If this was an ordinary camp, it would have collapsed long ago. After the soldiers in the Xiliang camp are transferred to become soldiers, they will no longer be engaged in production. They will have to invest their precious time in
to practice and military affairs.
In other words, a farmer in the Xiliang camp raises a soldier, and the soldier's food, drink, and war equipment are all provided by the farmer. This is difficult to achieve in the outside world, and fishing nets are too difficult.
Now Li Yi also feels a little pressure. If there is no need to build so many buildings and defenses in the camp, the farmers can feed these soldiers.
Li Xiang hesitated and said, "Is it enough to recruit another three hundred farmers?"
One hundred thousand units of grain and 30,000 grain to recruit farmers is nothing. There is still a lot of grain in the Juhu camp, and it is still increasing. This is just because of the lack of soldiers who used to transport it.
Three hundred farmers, Li Yi thought in his mind: "That's enough!"
Li Xiang stood up and walked to the shooting range: "I have already recruited in the town center. You can make your own arrangements. I will go to the shooting range first."
"yes!"
....
Shooting range (archery range): can train archers
Cost: One person costs: 50 taels of silver, 50 units of food (Note: The bows and arrows provided by the shooting range are related to the current technology. Upgrading the technology of the archers can improve the equipment of the archers, and the cost will also increase.)
...
Li Xiang first went to the blacksmith shop to find out. The blacksmith shop had already completed the craftsmanship of soft armor and feather arrows for archers, and was now developing scale armor. Currently, all technologies related to archers have been developed.
Li Xiang, who has ten thousand taels of silver in his possession, sees that the cost of training in the shooting range is not very expensive. The cost of training soldiers is not expensive, but the cost of making arrow feathers is not cheap. After the archers change their profession, their bow equipment will not be cheap.
Li Xiang needs to provide more materials to make it.
The archer equipment package includes the following items, a full set of leather armor, a basic one-stone bow plus thirty long arrows, and a short knife. This is what you can buy for five taels of silver.
According to the current various arms and supplies in the Xiliang camp, Li Xiang will definitely transfer to 500 archers. The camp wall will be built immediately, leaving 300 archers to guard the city and 200 archers to follow him on the expedition.
It only costs 25,000 units of grain and 2,500 taels of silver. Li Xiang can still come up with these supplies. Next is the swordsman...
