The Ling Emperor sold official positions, Zhang Rang and others accepted bribes, and these funds were enough for Tang Quan to support hundreds of thousands of troops. Moreover, Chengyang County now has a population of one and a half million. The people have arable land, and the rich gave up land to do business. Hundreds of large and small workshop factories began to produce some products that were ahead of this era, and even steam engines were used for production.

Mechanical fabrics, standard white paper, movable type printing, fresh soap, various delicacies, iron smelting plants, chemical plants, coal mines and iron ore, etc. all appear where Tang Quan can reach out.

In a word, what Tang Quan likes to say to others is: labor and capital are afraid of a bird, and his main purpose is still not to compete for hegemony. Seeing the development of steam engines becoming more and more advanced, Tang Quan even wanted to create a steam train lane on his territory to play, but that thing requires more staff and factories also need more. He had no choice but to wait for the territory to expand, and then he will build a nationwide train network in this era to ensure that everyone can travel more conveniently.

The wealth of Chengyang County is spreading in several surrounding counties. Anyone who has been to Chengyang admires the chaotic scene here and outside. The cloth in Chengyang is constantly dumping outwards, but the paper in Chengyang is only enough for printing books and newspapers. Other basic living products in Chengyang are also being sold to several surrounding counties, but the production capacity is still low and there is no large-scale sales.

"Report..."

On this day, Tang Quan was summoning officials at all levels in Chengyang County to explain the production development of the next year, and suddenly a small school came in to report:

"Report to Generals, Zhongshan, Jizhou, Mi Zhu, Xuzhou, and Lu Su, a wealthy man from Jiangdong, and asked for a visit."

“Huh…”

Tang Quan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect these three people to come to Chengyang County at this time. He touched his chin and said to the people present:

"Everyone will continue to develop industrial agriculture according to my plan. Don't stop the construction of canals and reservoirs. The hardening of the roads gradually expands to nearby official roads. Our official cement factory will continue to expand production investment. Don't be afraid of spending money or not keep up. Go down."

A group of officials left, Tang Quancai said to the school:

"Let them go to the side hall, and they must have something to ask for when they come to me at this time."

When the school left, Tang Quan whispered a few words and walked to the side hall. There were three men sitting in the side hall at this moment. They looked not old, but they all seemed extremely smart.

Tang Quan glanced at the people and walked to the middle-level Grand Master chair and sat down and said:

"You guys have been waiting for a long time, I wonder what important things are for you to come to my general's mansion?"

There were no tables and chairs in the late Han Dynasty, and the carpenter teacher in Chengyang County was the one who was the one who had Tang Quan inputted his memory, so the tables, chairs and benches were already spread out around him. He was not used to kneeling down in his place.

The three people standing in the side hall bowed deeply to Tang Quan and introduced themselves. One of them had a strong and steady face was Jiangdong Linhuai Lusu, the one with a group face was Xuzhou Mi Zhu, and the last man with a hero was Jizhou Zhen Yan.

Tang Quan signaled the three of them to sit down. It is said that these three are all talents, and Lu Su is the future governor of Wu State, but Tang Quan didn't care at all. Don't underestimate his current army of 30,000. In addition to the training of half a day every day, there is also an hour of cultural knowledge learning and half an hour of military command application learning in the afternoon;

For this ancient strategic warfare method, military lecturers who instill sufficient military strategies and different analytical abilities are extraordinary. The military confrontation at the end of each month allows soldiers to understand what it feels like to command and be commanded, while also improving their respective military capabilities.

Why build such an army? Because these 30,000 people are the leaders and commanders of Tang Quan's future troops, creating a army with culture, quality, combat power and momentum, so that the combat power of the troops will not decrease when the army is rapidly expanded.

With such an army, does Tang Quan still care about military advisors and generals? Tang Quan has four low-orbit military satellites cyclic scanning above his head. He doesn't need to make plans, and he doesn't have to think too much about strategies. In his eyes, talents of this era can do anything.

Seeing three wealthy merchants, Tang Quan only treated them as merchants. As a general of cavalry, he would not offend him even if Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Luoyang, was arrogant and domineering.

Lu Su and others were also observing Tang Quan. Tang Quan's reputation was rumored all over the world six years ago, but six years later, the Tang prefect was now a general of the cavalry, but he still looked in his twenties, which made many people think that he had good health preservation skills.

Lu Su and others sat down, felt the feeling of the seat relaxing their knees, and then clasped their fists and said:

"Su and others should not disturb the general by themselves, but we had no choice but to do so. The general also knew that we were businessmen and planned to buy some specialty products here to sell them to various places, but workshops in various places refused to provide products to us, saying that the general ordered the goods to be only met with Chengyang for the time being, and then the surrounding counties and counties, even if the price was ten times, they would not dare to supply them in large quantities. So we met with the general, mainly to ask the general to provide goods with us."

Chengyang shops are run by merchants alone, but the prices are guided by the government, but the manufacturers are jointly operated by manufacturers, with the government accounting for 60% and the merchants only have four-story shares. No matter how large the business expansion is, Tang Quan will also guarantee that the government has absolute voice.

Not selling to the public is not because it doesn’t want to, but because it’s not enough production capacity. Now there are chaos everywhere. There are definitely no factories that Tang Quan cannot control. Looking at the three depressed merchants, Tang Quan smiled and said:

"You are right. All the stores in Chengyang are government officials, or I am controlling them. As for the lack of export, there is insufficient production capacity, and you can't buy them even if you want to;

However, I have heard that the three of you are rich people from all over the world. If you are interested in investing, this general is very interested, such as winemaking, mineral acquisition and war horse acquisition. These things are the next developments of my general's mansion. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Making wine?" Lu Su's eyes lit up.

"Mineral acquisition?" Mi Zhu almost jumped up.

"War Horse?" Zhen Yan thought that Zhongshan was not far from Yanmen.

The wealth and IQ of the three major merchants are not low. When they hear Tang Quan's words, they each feel their business opportunities. At the same time, they sense that this is also the first bait that Tang Quan threw out.

Tang Quan also saw the decision made by these three talents. Although the 10,000 war horses developed in various horse farms, they have not increased much so far. There are no northern grasslands here, and the horses raised are only getting worse and worse, and there is no top war horses at all.
